Oracle Hyperion: Copying HFM Application - Running HfmCopyApplication.exe - HfmCopyApplication Çalıştırmak

In Hyperion 11.1.2.3 CopyApplication.exe is found in the C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\FinancialManagement\Server . Under the "Server" directory you could find HfmCopyApplication.exe which is used to copy the applications from one HFM server to another or within the environment.

What do we need to run it?

We need 2 UDL's or just one according to the need. If we are using it to transport the application from one environment to another then we need 2.

These UDL's are used in order to show the database information. Because our database is on SQL server, we need to use SQL UDL's, one for source, one for destination.


Why is it used?

It is used mainly for synchronization between Production and Development environments. Therefore it is highly cruical for companies.

Other than migration, it can be used to:

1-Backup
2-Copy
3-Recover

Where is it found?

\EPMSystem11R1\products\FinancialManagement\Server 

Depending on how you install it, it can be found under D:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Server in HFM 11.1.1.3

Where are its logs?

D:\Hyperion\logs\hfm in HFM 11.1.1.3
E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\logs\hfm in HFM 11.1.2.3

The paths may change depending on the installation directories.

Note: If you used HfmCopyApplication to create a new HFM application (not to overwrite the content of an existing one) you need to register the application to Shared Services before being able to use it. This can be accomplished by using the Register Application function found in EPM Workspace.
