Hello Experts,

We have a new environment of OBI with vanilla installation of OBI12c.

We have a requirement to move EM application roles from Prod to new dev environment.

We are getting lot of document for OBI11g but not for OBI12c.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for help.

    Have you tried using BAR files for your migration?

    Welcome to OBIEE12c: Using BI Application Archive (BAR) files

    You didn't mention your 12c version as the APIs referred to in this article are deprecated in 12.2.1.3 and don't run in 12.2.1.4

    Hello Joel,

    Thanks for your response.

    Sorry, my bad not to mention the version.

    OBI version is 12.2.1.1.0 (Build BIPS-20160604082456 64-bit).

    Just want to know that did moving of BAR will copy of all the EM roles and place with Catalog and rpd.

    Kindly correct me if I am wrong.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    The BAR file contains the web catalog, repository and security - https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/bi12214/biee/BIESG/GUID-7FCD90A3-E005-49BF-902F-30FBF9B41B07.htm#BIESG9295 

    You can specify which of these you want to import into your target instance.
