Changing name of a Plan Type... One of the ways...


We have an application with one plan type say its name is "console", now we want to migrate this application with a different plan type name say "con1". Here are the steps which will help you out with the same. 

Note: Make sure the plan type name is less then 8 characters otherwise you will end up in issues. 



You can take the file system backup of the application Once its done you can find the same at below location:


Here I have name file system backup as "Backup", a xml name listing.xml contains the artifacts listing its present at Backup/info/:


Plan type information is also stored in "Application Definition.xpad" file, location Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\import_export\<User>@Native Directory\Backup\resource\Configuration\Properties:


You can also find a folder name with the Plan type name, in our case its "Console":



Here I have taken a copy of File system backup and modify the listing.xml, Find Plantype name and replace it with the new name, I have replaced "Console" with "Con1":



Do the same with Application Defintion.xpad:


Rename the Plan Type folder:



Our CopyBackup is now ready for import:



Perform import.



Here in our application with new plan type name:






Cheers...!!!

Multiple Navigation Flows are Active

Image
We have witnessed an issue where application migration or sometimes service restart in PBCS/EPBCS activates multiple navigation flows.  If multiple navigation flows are active you wont be able make changes in any of them, because in order to make change in navigation flow you have to make it inactive. Typically you may end up in following situation:  Solution is pretty simple: 1. Create a copy of any of the existing navigation flow:  2. Give it any desired name:  3. Now, you will see one additional navigation flow, with inactive status: 4.  Make it active: 5.  At this point of time you will have one active navigation flow and two inactive  6. Select the additional navigation flow you have created and delete it  7. Now you are back in business: Rahul S.
