1 Overview: Migrating from Oracle Business Intelligence 11g to 12c

Migrating the metadata and configuration from Oracle Business Intelligence 11g to 12c is an out-of-place process performed by using the BI Migration Tool. This tool creates an Oracle BI 11g metadata archive which contains system security configuration information, the Oracle BI repository, and the Oracle BI Presentation Services Catalog of the 11g system.

This section explains the manual process to migrate Oracle BI metadata and configurations from an Oracle BI 11g (Release 11.1.1.7 or later) to Oracle BI 12c (Release 12.2.1) instance.

Note:

The BI Migration Tool does not preserve any customized features of the 11g system. You must manually copy the customized features of 11g system to the 12c system post migration.

Topics:

• Understanding the 12c Migration Procedure
  Oracle BI 12c (12.2.1) is the latest Business Intelligence release from Oracle. Migrating from Oracle BI 11g to 12c requires careful preparation, planning, and testing. Oracle provides tools and technology to automate much of the migration process. However, the precise strategy that you want to adopt depends on the configuration of the existing 11g system and the required configuration of the 12c system.
