This means that you have to rebuild the application and manually transfer the data.<br /><br />Second question is whether your application is EPMA or Classic.<br /><br />The third question is whether you have any 3rd party tool like EPM Maestro.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Thanos<br />Thanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885217697333316012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222460706582572268.post-31041516098713725332014-07-24T07:44:45.999+01:002014-07-24T07:44:45.999+01:00HI,

I am new to HFM and do not understand head or tail of it. <br /><br />There is a requirement in our project where we have to schedule copy application process in first 2 weeks of every month. We have to follow series of steps to do the same like bringing the services down, sending mail notification etc..<br /><br />Can you please help me how to automate the process using command line.<br /><br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Nitu.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222460706582572268.post-37948714679423036142014-02-05T10:30:26.838+00:002014-02-05T10:30:26.838+00:00Hi Santosh,
Apologies for the late reply but the ...Hi Santosh,<br /><br />Apologies for the late reply but the actual work is a priority...<br /><br />What I meant with "The best approach is to backup and restore the source database to the target environment and then run the copy application utility." is that you get a backup of the Production database and you restore it in the QA environment. <br /><br />This process has two positive points: <br />a) You do not have to take the production application off-line in order to copy it to the QA environement.<br />b) Because you are going to copy a backup of the database, you are going to move less data through the network.<br /><br />I know that there are negative points but base on my experience points a and b are enough in order to keep on following this process.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Thanos<br />Thanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885217697333316012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222460706582572268.post-37381531931853930772014-01-24T04:56:42.989+00:002014-01-24T04:56:42.989+00:00Hello Thanos,

But honestly I didnt understand the below statement:<br /><br />"The best approach is to backup and restore the source database to the target environment and then run the copy application utility."<br /><br />Do you mean a backup of source database (which can have more than one HFM application) and replace the target?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />SantoshAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208488548642300109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222460706582572268.post-50533602922788919292013-10-24T22:58:28.789+01:002013-10-24T22:58:28.789+01:00Hi Amarnath,

...Hi Amarnath,<br /><br />Thank you for the great comments. <br /><br />I think a good approach regarding training in HFM is to prepared for the Oracle certification. After that getting in a project is the best possible way to become a functional consultant.<br /><br />(That's my opinion)<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />ThanosThanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885217697333316012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222460706582572268.post-5171132167816341992013-10-24T08:12:46.842+01:002013-10-24T08:12:46.842+01:00It's really good to see your posts.

Would you be able to recommend a starting point as that will help me to advance in my career both as a technical and functional expert.<br /><br />Regards<br />Amarnathamarnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749240552285136096noreply@blogger.com
