Transfer

Overview

  • eMite Transfer is an application to copy/transfer pages from one system to another with a simple user interface.
  • eMite Transfer is available and compatible with eMite version 6.0.2 and above.
  • The transfer happens over three modules.
    • Reports/Pages Transfer.
    • RTBI Transfer (Includes Factqueries and underlying schema).
    • KPI Transfer (Includes TransactionKPIs, TransactionKPIGroups, TransactionKPITemplates, TransactionKPIRanges, TransactionKPITemplateSets, TransactionKPISets, TransactionKPIVariables, TransactionKPITemplateVariables).
  • eMite Transfer is available on the dashboard UI only for the admin users.
  • eMite Transfer tool can only work if there is at least one page available for the admin to transfer RTBI  (this helps in initializing the configurations).
    The export basically copies pages and its entire hierarchy including RTBI schema and KPIs schema.
                    E.g: The system has 3 fact queries (cubes) and KPIs and if the selected export page has only one fact query, transfer tool only transfers just one fact query and its hierarchy of RTBI schema and KPIs.
  • Extremely bulky import cannot be handled at the moment (example: 109 pages). Once the pages are exported via the dashboard, on the Import screen few pages can be selected at a time to complete the import properly.
  • The transfer process starts by performing Export which gives the transfer pack JSON file bundling the pages, fast queries, and KPIs.
  • The exported file can then be downloaded/saved onto the desired location.
  • The second part of the transfer is Import, which allows the user to browse to the exported file and perform Import.
  • The Import basically adds missing schema in the new system or simply updates the existing schema.

Import Options

This section provides the following options:

...

  • This tool can be used to import only a few pages at one time [Beta version]. You can import all the pages in multiple JSON files by selection fewer pages in one file. 
  • eMite Transfer tool can only work if there is at least one page available for the admin to transfer RTBI.
  • MSDTC should be installed in all servers in case if you want to revert back all the changes. If MSDTC is not enabled you will not be able to revert back the export changes. You can still restore the database backup in case if you want to revert back changes. 
  • Any error messages can be found in the logs instead of UI [Beta version]. Logs for Transfer tool are found in the location [Emite Installation folder]\logs\Dashboard\EmiteTransfer]

Logs

  • If there is an exception on the Import process, the import will stop with a red colored warning. More details about the errors can be found in the installation log. eMite Transfer logs can be found in: [EmiteInstallationDirectory]\eMite\[EmiteVersion]\logs\Dashboard\EmiteTransfer.txt]
