Full migration issue from BI4.1 to BI4.2

270 Views Last edit Aug 02, 2017 at 05:24 AM 2 rev

Hi,

We installed BI4.2 SP3 on a plain machine, and we followed the administrator guide using CLI for the full migration.

The users and groups migration steps are:

  1. Set –Xmx2g for APS in 4.1 and 4.2
  2. Using below script to generate a lcmbiar file in 4.1:

    exportLocation=C:\BIexport\lcmUG.lcmbiar

    action=export

    LCM_CMS=sia1-dev:6400

    LCM_userName=Administrator

    LCM_password=xxxxxx

    LCM_authentication=secEnterprise

    Source_CMS=sia1-dev:6400

    Source_userName=Administrator

    Source_password=xxxxxx

    Source_authentication=secEnterprise

    exportQuery1=SELECT TOP 20000 static, relationships, SI_PARENT_FOLDER_CUID, SI_OWNER, SI_PATH FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS,CI_APPOBJECTS,CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE (SI_KIND='User' OR SI_KIND='UserGroup') AND NOT (SI_ID in (11,12, 501, 1, 2, 3))

    exportDependencies=false

    includeSecurity=true

  3. Copied the lcmUG.lcmbiar file to 4.2 and used below script to promote users and groups to 4.2:

    importLocation=C:\BIexport\lcmUG.lcmbiar

    action=promote

    LCM_CMS=sia01-dev:6400

    LCM_userName=Administrator

    LCM_password=xxxxxx

    LCM_authentication=secEnterprise

    Destination_CMS=sia01-dev:6400

    Destination_userName=Administrator

    Destination_password=xxxxxx

    Destination_authentication=secEnterprise

    includeSecurity=true

The users and groups were promoted correctly but it could not promote groups with user security. Has anyone done the full migration? We really appreciate your advice.

Thanks,

Jiang
