You can copy an application to any Essbase Server to which you have appropriate access. You can copy (migrate) an entire application to another Essbase Server, or you can copy an application on the same Essbase Server. For example, you may need to migrate an entire application from a development server to a production server. Or, you may want to copy an application on the same server for testing or for backup purposes.
Essbase copies applications differently, depending on whether you are copying to the same Essbase Server or to a different Essbase Server. When you migrate applications, you can select the artifacts to migrate, such as calculation scripts, report scripts, rules files, custom-defined macros and functions, substitution variables, and filters. You can also specify how user and group security is migrated.
Administration Services provides a Migration Wizard that helps you migrate applications. See “Migration Wizard” in Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.
