Transferring files from Dev to Production Servers

[wigglyrat]

Hi:

I am having an issue with transferring files from Development to Production servers, in that when I restart the production server after the transfer, the cubes/dimensions etc. are not available/do not expand in Server Explorer. The server itself is visible.

This is after transferring files between servers via windows explorer. A few new TI's were created, one new cube, and rule files changed, so I have copied new PRO, RUX and CUB files. Did a 'save data' on Prod before shutting it down. After the transfer the server comes back up but cubes etc not available.

Can someone please say where I may be going wrong?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

Check your TM1S.cfg as a start to ensure that your Admin host is not pointing to the wrong server.

I would also check the filesystem permissions to make sure the user account TM1 is running under has access to the new files.

Just to add ,Please also copy .blb files.Thanks

Why? I would specifically not copy the blb files. These are formatting files and aren't required for transferring any features or functionality.

I agree - but you then need to remove the rules .blbs in the destination, otherwise TM1 will use them and overwrite the .ruxes you have just copied over.

Ah - it wasn't happy with something in the RUX files. After removing these which I can update manually, all is fine.

Many thanks for your help.

Let us assume that no changes to rules should ever be made in production. The rule in effect is what is in the rux. The rule displayed is what is in the blb (if there is one). Better not to have the blb files for rules on a production server ever in the first place.
