What is one of the required steps when migrating from 11.1.2.4.nnn On-Premises Essbase cubes to the cloud service?

When migrating from 11.1.2.4.nnn On-Premises Essbase cubes to the cloud service, correcting partition settings in the Life Cycle Management (LCM) exported .zip file is essential. This step ensures that the migrated cubes will function correctly in the cloud environment, as the partition settings dictate how data is segmented and accessed across different cubes and applications.

Partitioning configurations can vary between on-premises and cloud environments. Hence, accurately adjusting these settings during the migration process is crucial to maintain the integrity and performance of the Essbase cubes in the cloud. This includes verifying that partitions reference the correct data sources and are set up to meet the specific requirements of the cloud infrastructure.

In contrast, while converting applications to Unicode may be beneficial for internationalization, it is not specifically required for the migration process. The import utility for data loading is a part of the broader process but is not a direct requirement specific to the cloud migration step outlined. Deleting application-level files before export is not necessary; usually, you want those files intact during migration to preserve configuration settings.
