Migrate Applications Using Command Line Interface

You can use Command-Line Interface (CLI) to migrate source applications and artifacts across Essbase cloud deployments and releases.

The standard migration workflow using the Command Line Interface (CLI) is as follows:

1. Download the tool and use the lcmexport commands to export single or multiple applications from source to a zip file.
2. Use the lcmimport command to import single or multiple applications from a zip file to Oracle Essbase.

When partitions exist in the source between a source application or database, and a target application or database, only partitions from the target are exported to the file system. When partitions exist between cubes being migrated, you must import the data source before the data target. Otherwise, partition definitions may not be restored.
