Import a Hybrid Snapshot into Non-Hybrid Pod in Oracle EPM Cloud

If you’ve ever tried to import a Oracle Cloud EPM Planning hybrid-enabled application snapshot into a non-hybrid Oracle Cloud EPM pod you will have seen this error:

EPMLCM-14000: Error reported from Core Platform.

Unsupported migration of artifacts and snapshots for Hybrid PBCS application from (Service Type ENTERPRISE with Hybrid support) to (Service Type LEGACY without Hybrid support).

 

The import will fail completely, and you won’t be able to pull in any artefacts.

Here is a simple hack which will enable you import the entire snapshot (excluding data of course).

 

Download the Snapshot

Download the Hybrid snapshot to your local machine and unzip the snapshot.

You’ll need to make changes to the ‘Application Definition.xpad’ and ‘Application Settings.xml’ files:

 

Edit the Application Definition.xpad File

File before changes:

File after changes:

 

Edit the Application Settings.xml File

File before changes:

File after changes:

 

Once you have made these changes zip up the folders of the snapshot. Zip up the files at this level:

 

You can now upload the modified snapshot and import the entire application (excluding data).

To load the data into your non-hybrid pod you will need to export the data to a text file on the Hybrid environment and then import into the non-hybrid pod.

Until next time
