Well, this is one blog that has been in my outbox for quite
some time and I wanted to get this out since it was quite interesting. Now, I
am in the middle of a couple of PBCS implementations and the inevitable process
of migration of PBCS from Test to Production came up. I am a big fan of LCM
because it is a well- designed tool to solve the common problem of migrating
applications across different environments. The application migration went
across smoothly without any hitch. However, when I was trying to migrate the
Data Management component (FDMEE in the on-premise parlance), I encountered a
couple of errors as shown in the below snapshot: -
The error can be summarized as follows: -
- Data Load Rule :- EPMFDM-140073: Failed to import datarule...
- Import Format :- EPMFDM-140048: Failed to import Import Format....
- Location:- EPMFDM-140062: Failed to import location .....
So, I tried a lot of things in varying degrees of
frustration and the solution to fix it is actually quite simple.
The problem is that the Data Management piece in PBCS does
not import the source system information when you migrate an application from
Test to Production environment. You will need to create the source system
manually. Once I created the source system manually, the import went ahead
successfully as shown in the below snapshot: -
(The above snapshot also shows the varying levels of
frustration I encountered in trying to fix this issue.)
This is actually a good example of defensive programming
being good but not conveying sufficient information. I can understand why I
would not want to migrate source system from test to production since I can be
hitting a test source system in Test environment and in production it would be
different source. But in case of file source system, I would have expected the
migration should go through as is since files don’t have any security
information or configurations tagged to it. Also, Data Management didn’t tell
that source system were not migrated.
