Method 1: Archiving the P6 Analytics Catalog

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

One option for upgrading your catalog is to use the archiving option in OBI. OBI (11.1.1.7 and later releases) has the ability to archive and unarchive individual objects, including folders, dashboards, and analysis. This process can be used to move objects within the same OBI catalog, to backup individual objects, or to move objects from one catalog to another. If using OBI 11.1.1.6 or earlier, the archiving option is not available and the Catalog Manager will need to be used to upgrade your catalog.

To archive an object in OBI, perform the following steps:

Note: Don't perform these steps if you plan to use the Catalog Manager instead. See Method 2: Using the Catalog Manager.

  1. Login to OBI with a user account that has the privilege to use the archive/unarchive function.
  2. Select Catalog.
  3. Navigate to any object (folder, dashboard, and/or analysis).
  4. Highlight the object and select the Archive option in the Tasks section of the catalog window.
  5. Select Yes when the archive menu asks if you want to keep permissions and timestamps.
  6. Save the file with the extension .catalog. The archive of this object is complete.
