Import via the BI Migration Script

As we previously noted, if you have already configured OBIEE 12c, you need to use the BI Migration Script (migration-tool.sh or .cmd for Windows). This is a quicker process in terms of steps (as the 12c system is already set up!):

1. The script exists on user_projects/domains/bi/bitools/bin/, so change to that directory.
2. Execute the script and import by running the following script:

           user_projects/domains/bi/bitools/bin/migration-tool.sh in        /temp/12import.jar ssi
   

We can break down the parameters for this command as follows:

• in: This argument tells the tool that we are importing objects.
• /temp/12import.jar: This, as you know, is the export bundle that contains our 11g objects. If the .jar file is in a different folder, you will have to provide the full directory path for this argument.
• ssi: This is the default server instance name for OBIEE. If your server instance is different, this argument will have to be changed appropriately.
