Migrating Yellowfin application files from Windows to Linux

HI Pratap,

Thanks for reaching out. In this case you would want to do a fresh install of the Yellowfin application on Linux and add any custom files like CSS to the new application paths, along with any necessary code/configuration changes.

My normal recommendation is to either do a content export process onto a fresh environment, or use our replication guide as a template, depending on the scenario.

With upgrades, migrations, and deployment support, I would defer to our consulting department, as there are a number of things unique to each environment worth considering in a task like this, and is technically out-of-scope for support.

Let me know if you have any additional questions here.

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your response.

The article https://community.yellowfinbi.com/knowledge-base/article/replicating-your-yellowfin-environment does provide information regarding fresh installation and points to imported Config DB. but my question was related to Application files migration from Windows to Linux environment.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Pratap,

Copying files would likely not work here; Yellowfin will need to be installed on the Linux machine for compatibility reasons. The installer would be the recommended and supported way of adding Yellowfin application files to the Linux environment. You can then add your custom restyling to the Linux installation. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric,
while installing yellowfin with oracle config db , getting following error
Creating tables
Error
Error encountered:
java.lang.Exception: Error creating DBInterface: couldn't connect
[FAILED]
--- Yellowfin Installation Failed ---

What needs to be checked ? it seems some issue communicating with oracle db.

Hi Pratap,

I've created a new ticket for the oracle install issue, you can refer to https://community.yellowfinbi.com/ticket/29503 for assistance there.
