Migrating OBIEE server

Posted by: paolyn lazo on: December 4, 2009

To be able to migrate obiee projects you need to do the following:

1. Create a copy of your rpd file.

-> Located in C:\OracleBI\server\Repository

2. Create a copy of your web catalog folder.

-> C:\OracleBIData\web\catalog

3. If you are using Oracle as Database. Create a listener to your new server pointing to oracle database server.

4. Paste the rpd file to your new server.

-> Destination: C:\OracleBI\server\Repository

5. Paste your web catalog folder to the new server.

-> Destination: C:\OracleBIData\web\catalog

6. Change the default repository of your nqsconfig.ini with your rpd file.

-> Located in C:\OracleBI\server\Config

7. Change catalog path of your instanceconfig.xml with the name of your web catalog folder

->Located in C:\OracleBIData\web\config

8. Start the services and check if you migrate successfully. ^^

Be careful with migrating your whole webcat folder. Dashboards and reports that users have created in your destination environment may get overwritten. Generally copying and pasting between two catalog manager instances (pointing at source and destination web cats) or using archive/unarchive is the best way to go after your initial migration.
