Migrating Business Rules Users to Shared Services Security
To migrate native Analytic Administration Services and Business Rules users to Shared Services,
you need to run the Externalize Users utility in Analytic Administration Services. When you run
this utility, all native Analytic Administration Services and Business Rules users from the
previous release are copied from the Analytic Administration Services/Business Rules repository
into the Shared Services repository. (See the Essbase Administration Services Installation Guide.)
After you run the Externalize Users utility, you upgrade the Business Rules repository from the
previous release to this release of Business Rules using the Migrate Repository feature in Business
Rules (for releases 3.x through 4.0) or the Configuration Utility (for releases 4.1 through the
current release). When you upgrade the repository to this release, the repository is also upgraded
automatically in Shared Services. (See the Hyperion Business Rules Administrator's Guide.)
During the repository upgrade, Business Rules roles assigned to users are migrated and assigned
equivalent roles in Shared Services. In addition, any Business Rules groups are migrated to Shared
Services. If the groups have roles assigned to them, these roles are also migrated and assigned
equivalent roles in Shared Services. If a Business Rules group does not exist in Shared Services,
it is created.
When you upgrade the Business Rules repository, all Business Rules repository objects including
rules, sequences, variables, macros, projects, and database locations and access permissions
assigned to them, are upgraded in Shared Services. Now you are ready to use Shared Services to
manage security for Business Rules.
