After a successful conversion, you proceed as follows:
Procedure
Set the language of the PPM server and analysis server in PPM 9.9. To set the language in a PPM 9.9 client, use a text editor to open the files Server_settings.properties or AnalysisServer_settings.properties in the directory <PPM99_DATA>/config/<client>/. For the LANGUAGE property, add the language in which the relevant server is to be started (e.g., LANGUAGE=en to start the server in English).
Copy the content of the directory (e.g., <PPM9X_HOME>/config/<client>/images/) specified under IMAGES_DIRECTORY in the Server_settings.properties of PPM 9.x to the directory specified in the same file in the PPM 9.9 client.
Stop the PPM infrastructure by clicking Stop >_ppm> Core 9.9 in the Windows program group Software AG > Stop Servers.
Restart the PPM infrastructure by clicking Start PPM Core 9.9 in the Windows program group Software AG > Start Servers.
Start the PPM 9.9 server and the analysis server in PPM Customizing Toolkit 9.9.
If the PPM 9.9 server is not able to connect to central user administration, update the central user administration connection data. You can also go to the directory <PPM99_CLIENT_RUN>/bin and execute the following command in the command line.
runppmumcadmin -user system –password <password> –client <client> -resetinternalsessions
Export the configuration.
Open the converted client in PPM Customizing Toolkit 9.9
Switch to the Programs module.
Launch the program Export PPM configuration (exportconfig.bat).
You can also go to the directory <PPM99_CLIENT_RUN>/bin and execute the following command in the command line.
Configurations that you did not export in this manner (e.g., report automations) must be exported individually by means of the batch file runppmconfig.
To be able to use the administrator with the password manage you need to activate the administrator first.
Start PPM GUI 9.9.
In Administration, open the User privileges component.
In the pop-up menu of the administrator user, select the option Activate users.
Then assign the user the System administration function privilege.
If you set up a master-sub-server scenario for your PPM system you need to adapt the connection of the sub-servers to the master. To do this, change the RMI ports of the sub-server connection in the file Server_settings.properties. After the migration of PPM 9.0 to PPM 9.9 the RMI port changes from 16500 to 17500. (The RMI port of a PPM version from 9.5 remains unchanged at 17500.) The master accesses the sub-servers in the form of <IP>:<RMI port>.
If you had Data analytics analysis realms in the version to be migrated, you need to reimport the data of the tables of these analysis realms into PPM. As long as you have not reimported the data, an error message will be output for queries in Data analytics or Cross analytics.
If you have not done so already, start the client's server and analysis server.
Use the runtableimport program to import the previously extracted data for each analysis realm and each table. If required, you can use the relevant extractor to re-extract the data from the source system.
If you are using CSV data sources, check if the file reference is still valid.
The data is now saved persistently in the database newly introduced in PPM 9.9.
You can use the migrated clients in PPM now. For a migration from 9.x to 9.9 the analysis server does not need to be reinitialized.
To use reports in report automation they must be registered. To do so, open the Administration module in the PPM user interface and register the relevant reports.
