Migrate: Planning Command Utility operation
Updated: 2009-04-30
Use the migrate command to migrate an application from one environment to another, such as migrating from test to production. For complete information on migrating PerformancePoint Planning applications, see Migrating Planning Server data.
Important
If a form template is opened in Microsoft Office Excel, it will prevent the migration export from reading the file. This will prevent successful completion of the migration export.

ppscmd migrate /export /server <uri> /application <app> <directory>
ppscmd migrate /import /server <uri> <filename>
