EAM provides a Wizard for migrating Essbase applications, databases, and user/group security from one server to another. For example, you might migrate an application from a development to test server or from a production to a test server to try out a new release of Essbase software. With Migration Wizard, you can migrate application and database objects and security without leaving the Administration Services console.
The following points apply to applications migrated using Migration Wizard:
1. Only application and database objects and user/group security are migrated. No data is transferred.
2. Objects and security on the source server are unchanged. Migration Wizard makes copies on the target server.
3. Source and target servers may be on different operating systems. For example, you can migrate an application from a Windows to a Unix server.
The data can be loded to the target after the running of Migration Wizard.
