Backing Up, Restoring, and Replicating Applications Using the Migration Features
Profitability and Cost Management offers flexible lifecycle management features to help with a number of maintenance and migration tasks:.
-
Backing up to create a snapshot for cloning an environment, for example, to migrate an application from test to production.
-
Exporting to create an incremental backup of specific artifacts in an environment.
-
Uploading archive files in ZIP format containing a variety of data, metadata, artifact definitions, and more.
-
Downloading snapshots for artifact maintenance and backups.
-
Deleting and renaming snapshots and archives.
-
Setting import options.
-
Importing artifacts and the application from a snapsot.
You can import exported files or backup snapshots for restoration or migration purposes.
-
To access migration features within Profitability and Cost Management, on the Home page, click Application, , and then Migration, .
- To clone a snapshot, on the Home page, click Application, , and then Clone Snapshot, . (See Cloning Snapshots in Administering Migration for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud).
Also see Exporting Template Files and Loading Data into Essbase.
Note:
You can import an entire snapshot into an empty Profitability and Cost Management service where no application currently exists. In general, artifacts in a Profitability and Cost Management application snapshot can be imported individually/separately into an existing application. The exception to this is the Dimensions artifact. Dimension metadata cannot be re-imported into an existing application using an Application Snapshot. Use the Update Dimension job of the EPM Automate loaddimdata
command to update the dimension's metadata in an existing application.
Note:
To migrate an application from on-premise Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management, see Migrating an Application from On-premises Profitability and Cost Management to EPM Cloud Profitability and Cost Management.
