Moving a plan to another server

This section provides an overview on how to move a plan from one server to another. Moving a plan involves these steps:

• Stop the BI OLAP database.
• Backup the database files.
• Create an empty BI OLAP database on the destination server computer. Stop this database after creation.
• Copy the backup files to destination server computer into the newly created database directory. Fix up the repository as needed in the DB.ini file.
• Start the BI OLAP database and recreate login ID.
• Change the server names using the Manage Data Sources page.
• Move attachments by copying the ProgramData\Infor\PM\StrategyManagement\StrategyAttachments directory on the server computer to the new server computer.
• Optionally, move measures data. You can move data from a SQL table. Measures data does not need to be moved when a plan is moved.
