32 Moving to a New Environment

You can move (or migrate) Oracle Business Intelligence to a new environment by re-creating an existing Oracle BI system in a different location to the one in which it was originally installed. The objective is to re-create an identical deployment on different hardware.

You might want to move to a new environment for the following reasons:

• To move the system as a whole onto more powerful hardware.

• To move to a different operating system.

• To move into a different physical location.

For information, see "Moving Oracle Business Intelligence Components to a Production Environment" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

Moving can also be completed as part of a upgrade. Upgrade is not covered in this guide. For complete information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence.
