Export the Planning application
The administrator who performs the application migration export process must be a member of the global administrator role and the modeler role, and have full application scope permissions for the application.
Note
We highly recommend that you either lock the application or ask users to not use Planning Business Modeler while exporting an application. However, you can still export an application even when there are unfinished jobs in the Planning Server, because job-related data is not exported.
Export an application from the source system
Open a Command Prompt window.
Navigate to the Business Modeler directory. The default location is: \Program Files\Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server\3.0\BizModeler.
At the command prompt, type:
ppscmd.exe migrate /export /server <planning server url> /application <application_label><destination_folder>
where <application_label> is the application to export and <destination folder> is the directory where you will save the exported application. If the destination folder does not already exist, it will be created.
Example:
ppscmd.exe migrate /export /server https://localhost:46787 /application alpine_ski_house d:\migrationfiles
Note
You must run the PPSCmd.exe command from a computer on which Planning Business Modeler is installed. If Planning Business Modeler is installed in a different directory, you must navigate to that directory.
Copy all exported XML files and subfolders to the destination environment, keeping the same folder structure. The path to the top folder, which contains the application .xml files, can have a different name from the source environment, but the subfolder structure and names must match exactly.
