This Mindstream Analytics blog post discusses the techniques of how to efficiently migrate an
Oracle Financial Data Quality Management (FDM) Application from one environment to
another (e.g. PRODUCTION TO DEVELOPMENT). Contributors
Note – In this particular demonstration, we used the MSSQL Server Management Studio as our
Mihailo Pavlisin
RDBMS client. The name of the application being migrated over from DEVELOPMENT
Environment to PRODUCTION Environment is called FINANCE. MindStream Analytics

The following topics are discussed:
The first thing we need to do in order to successfully migrate an FDM Application from
DEVELOPMENT (DEV) to PRODUCTION (PROD) is to migrate the Database that is related to
the application.
First, create a Backup or extract the corresponding SQL Database from the DEV
Environment. (The DB Backup and Extraction process can be done in many different ways,
depending on how your databases are setup or what RDBMS Client you use). This backup
should be stored on the same server, at a location that is easy to find
The backup created in Step 1 needs to be copied over and imported to the PROD Server
where your RDBMS Client is setup, again at a location that is convenient and easy to find. In
our case, we created a new Empty Database Shells in MSSQL Server Management Studio,
called FINANCE (Right‐click on Databases ‐> New Database ‐> Create Database
(FINANCE)

In MSSQL Server Management Studio, Right‐click on one the newly created FINANCE
Empty Database Shell and go to Tasks‐> Restore ‐> Database ‐> Click on ‘From Device’ ‐
> Browse ‐> Choose the backup copied in Step2

Now that we have successfully migrated the FDM Application Database over to PROD SQL
Server, we need to move over the FDM root folder files
1.4. Copy the File System folders for FINANCE Application in DEV
In the FDM Root Folder Location, select only the FINANCE Folder and copy it inside the
FDM PROD Server. As before, it is very important that you choose/create a location that is
easy to find. For the purpose of demonstrating, we created a FDMDATA_fromDev_Migration
inside the FDM PROD Server

1.6. Get the root Folder for FINANCE FDM Application in PROD
In
<home_partition>\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\FinancialDataQuality\Share
d Components\Config on the FDM PROD server, open the ‘HyperionFDMApplications.xml’
file via Internet Explorer (Right‐click on the file ‐> Open with ‐> Internet Explorer)
Now, we assume that a FDM Application shell has already been created inside FDM. For
assistance on how to create an FDM Application Shell, please go to
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/hyp/HFM11.1.2.1_FDM_Inst
all/FDMInstall11121.htm.
In our example, there is already an FDM Applications previously created (FINANCE)
As in DEV, please memorize the Root Folder for the File System folders in PROD (In this
case, it is D:\FDMDATA)
1.7. Copy the File System Folders from the Backup Location to the PROD FDM Root
Folder
2. Data Validations
Access the Application and make sure that all of the settings in the two FDM
Applications in PROD are analog to what we have in DEV
In workbench (Start‐> Workbench), choose the existing application that you are migrating
and enter the credentials to login ‐ Check Machine Profiles: Expand Target System
Adapters ‐> Expand the adapter e.g. (ESX11X‐G4‐H)Hyperion Essbase‐> Expand
Machine Profiles and right‐click on the machine profile already in there (dev‐fdm) ‐>
Click on Properties ‐> Change Source machine to what the it should be for PROD (e.g.
prod‐fdm) and Target Machine (e.g. prod‐essbase)

In Activities ‐> Maps, a comparison was made to check whether all of the Mappings for
each Dimension in PROD are the same to the ones in DEV
1.11. Test whether the connection to Essbase has been successfully established in
PROD
In Activities ‐> Maps ‐> Click on Target Account twice ‐> Click on a small triangle on
the right‐side of the field ‐> Choose Browse from Target Value. If a window with a list
of all Target Key Lookups opens, this means that the connection is established

Go through a handful of the locations (Metadata > Locations, Import Formats, Validation
Entities etc.), as well as other tabs (Activities, Analysis, etc.) in the FDM Web Client, and
make sure that all of the settings match the ones in DEV. Some examples shown below

You can test the functionality of the migrated application either with a test file that you
can load to a future period, or you can reload the latest period. This will tell us what is
working and what is not.
Other approaches that can be used (depending on the way you load data)
