Backup and Data Migration Questions????

Sorry for the multiple post, posted to fast and placed in wrong post....
But anyway... I am considering getting the Droid X (Android 2.1) and I will be changing over from a Imagio (WM 6.5) and since I am new to the whole Android OS, I was wondering what is the best way to transfer all my data from the Imagio to the Droid X once I recieve it? I have looked at a application (Sprite Migration) that seems to make the migration process rather simple that can be found at http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/migrate/how -does-it-work- but I was wondering if anyone has used this application and how well did it work?
Second I was also looking at the Sprite Backup application also for my system backups of device, I used the Windows Mobile version before ojn my Imagio and it worked well but I decided to stay with SPB Backup because I was already use to the program since I have used it for a number of years....
Is Sprite Migration and Sprite Backup a quality product to use on a Android device because I want to backup the stock image into a file before I start modifing my device and learning the ins and outs of the unit.
Any feedback would be appreciated

Hi Wildman,
Yes you are correct, Sprite Backup offers a much more complete backup.
We backup everything that can be done without root access.
We are also now on many handsets in ROM, with even more access. We hope to see more manufacturers, (4 so far, but not Motorola yet) bundle us on their devices (approx 1.2 million devices with us in on Android).
If you already have moved to your new Droid then it's probably too late. However, Migration is a great solution for moving your data painlessly across to the android device.
I appreciate you used SPB, a fine product on Windows Mobile. I am sure you are aware of our 18 million Windows mobile sales of Sprite Backup (the other camp , the majority are actually bundled on devices there also)
We have a strong support staff, so if you have any questions please fire them off to us.

To give you an idea of what Android Backup covers, please read this
http://www.spritesoftware.com/getmedia/0e592ab4-61bb-4f6d-a218-b6df82669a18/Android-Backup-v2.0-User-Guide.aspx
Migration is soon coming out as an OTA service, for a carrier or two
As you have pointed out, contacts sync (like for winmo active sync) is great, but there is a lot more on a device.
Many thanks

What is PMS Data Migration Experience and Data Migration Scripts preparatio

Hi All what is PMS Data Migration Experience and Data Migration Scripts preparation
why we use these in HRMS(EBS)

Pl provide a link to where you got these terms from.
"PMS Data Migration Experience" is not an EBS term - most likely a vendor or third-party phrase/tool/software.
"Data Migration" in HRMS (and other EBS modules) typically refers to the process of moving data from a legacy system to EBS during the process of going-live with EBS.

Difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration"

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me the difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration". I have gone through Google but doesn't find any appropriate answer for that where I can find the difference.
It would be highly appreciated if you give me a link for all and give me some point out.
Thanks & Regards
Nimai Karmakar

Here is how I see the terms used and understood by most folks
"Data replication"
This is the keeping the same data in sync in 2 different databases. Replication is the process of keeping data in sync between 2 environments/databases and not limited to Oracle to Oracle, it could be Oracle to MySQL to be kept in sync, MySQL to Oracle, Oracle to SQL Server, SQL Server to Oracle. The purpose of keeping data in sync can vary, but that is basic description of what it is.
"Data Cloning"
Make a copy of the data/database from one database environment to another, like for example taking production database and cloning the database to a pre-production database/environment for testing. Coning term is used more when copying a database not just data, but the whole database so typically you hear the reference "Database Cloning", but data cloning is basically the making a copy of the data from one place to another. Sometimes Cloning and Duplicating are used in the same way by folks as the basic end result is the same you are making a copy of the data to someplace else.
"Data duplication"
This is typically term when duplicating the data from one environment to another for a particular purpose, a lot of folks use "Data/Database Cloning" and "Data Duplication" in the same context, meaning they use them to mean the same thing, but I see more difference in the terms so when they are different Data Duplication is done when combining 2 databases to 1 therefore you can not clone the 2 databases into one so this term would be used more in those circumstances.
"Data Migration"
Moving data from one location/database to another location database, for example moving from MySQL to Oracle you would do a data migration from MySQL to Oracle as you are moving the data from MySQL to Oracle and going to leave it in Oracle. You could also be migrating to from Oracle 10g environment to a new Oracle 11g environment, therefore "Migration" is typically used when referring to moving the data from one environment to another and the source and target are different in location, database vendor, database version.
These are very simple ways of looking at the terms from my experience on how they are used.

IPad1 to iPad2 data migration questions

Hi,
Before data migration from iPad1 to iPad2 (backup and restore/ sync), I assume that we need to have the updated iTunes software (on Mac/ Windows). Is it necessary for iPad1 to have updated version of firmware before data migration to iPad2? Is it okay if iPad1 firmware be the same or older version of the iPad 2's firmware?
Is it possible to have 2 iPads backup on iTunes?
Is there any specific suggestion for data migration if we are going to migrate huge amount of data (>15 GB mainly business applications, library files) from iPad1 to iPad2? Any possible issues which I can eliminate/ reduce beforehand by custom setting in iTunes?
Thanks for your help.

I'll try to shed light on this:
1) I think it's best to activate the new iPad as a new device, but you'll get people that disagree. I say start your iPad 2 fresh as a daisy. The version of iOS will not matter in this case.
2) Absolutely. Just give the new one a different name, so there is no confusion. itunes will keep track.
Like iPad 1 = dotexe.....iPad 2 = dotexe2. Or similar.
3) No, not in itunes. Just make sure the data is all selected in itunes as to source, etc. And the apps are all selected, before you sync.
Hope this helps...

Backup and data transfer from old to new iphone

I recently upgraded to the iphone 5s from iphone 4 and need to backup and transfer data from old phone to the new phone. I want to backup using itunes rather than using icloud. Do I need to disable icloud backup on the old phone before I start the backup process. Do I need to disable anything on my computer (icloud). I am using Windows Vista and Itunes Version 10.7. Would appreciate step by step instructions for backup and transfer.. I am not computer or iphone saavy and don't want to mess things up.

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

Legacy Data Migration - question on conversion

Hello All,
We are trying to build a generic tool which could help the conversion process in data migration.
For eg, If the material name in legacy starts with AB (AB6790), the same has to be referred in SAP as SQ6790.
So its replacing initial few characters during the conversion process.
Like this, I am expected to collect possible scenarios and
develop a generic tool, which can cover some possible conversion conditions.
Can you please help me with such scenarios, which you may have come across in project needs.
Thank you.
Meenakshi

Rahul,
I strongly suggest you do a search in the CRM General & Framework Forum on this topic. If you are looking for specific objects to migrate there are several posts on the major data elements in crm (transactions, business partners, products).
In general the technique is to use the LSMW combined with the XIF-IDOC adapter to convert data into the CRM system.
My blog here will explain the general process:

Data Migration questions

Hi,
I'm in the process of migrating my SQL Server 7 database to Oracle 10g R2 using SQL Developer (Version 1.5.1).
When migrating the data, the process terminated half way through due to network problem.
Is it safe to re-do the data migration from there?
Will SQL Developer migration workbench "know" when to pick up from where it last stop? Will this create duplicate records in the target database?
Any recommendation on the best approach to migrate the data will be much appreciated.
Thanks
wilora

Hi Wilora,
SQL Developer will not "know" of the previous data migration.
You need to truncate all your tables first. You can write a quick script to do this.
SELECT 'truncate table ' || table_name || ';' FROM user_tables ; -- obviously be connected to your migrated user.
Then perform the data migration again. Online data migration is only suitable for smaller datasets ,say <100 mb. If you have a network issue again. I would truncate the tables so they are ready to receive the data again. And use the offline data move method.
Heres a quick viewlet of the offline data move

So, I loaded my CUCM with 6.1.4 which is absolutely compatible with UCCX 7.0.1 and I still get the same error which is as follows: Data Migration is only supported on CUCM Deployments. I am using the Data Migration Tool for 4.0.5 to 7.0.1 UCCX deployments. All necessary services are started on the CUCM and the UCCX license and CUCM pass validation. I am at a loss as to why I am getting this error. Does anyone have any ideas?

Urgent!!! mavericks wiped out my entire backups and data on external devices

I've upgraded to Mavericks recently. It's working fine on my 13-inch retina macbook. I'm currently using 2 external drives for time machine backups and also storing my work related data and iTunes files on these external drives. This morning when I when switched on my macbook strangely it gave me incorrect external drive name. When I looked into the 3TB disk it was blank. I've ejected the drive without writing to it.
Any suggestions or tools to retrieve data wiped in OSX?
My entire music and dvd archive and 20 years of work related data are gone!!!
Thanks in advance.
Sertac Orcun

FIrewire & Thunderbolt drives are having issues with Mavericks, avoid same until a fix is issued if you can.
many are reporting same, there is a firewire fault and TB HD on external HD from LaCie (Seagate) and from WD especially.
Technicians are looking into it.
Until there is resolution, consider setting up a USB ext. Time machine HD.
Until then consider confining Mavericks use with USB HD.
Ive tested a very long line of USB HD on Mavericks, all seem fine.
*However some are reporting now even USB HD are having problems IF they are running WD software
Recommend anyone DO NOT ATTACH any WD MyBook externals (firewire, thunderbolt or otherwise).
I dont have same to test, so I dont know if the problem is in the firmware on the SATA bridge or if its a problem with the WD software

Will Reinstallation and Data migration solve the Character Set Problem????

Hi to all,
We are having a problem with Arabic Data in the Oracle 9i Database, when we are adding any data using SQL * Plus and a asp.net web based application, the data is converting to ????? (Question Marks), when the database was installed on the Server with Windows 2003 OS, it was not having Arabic Support, after installation of oracle 9i it was realised, later we installed the language packs for Arabic on the Server.
So this was the reason the arabic support is not there in the database, we changed the NLS_LANG parameter of the Server's Registry entry, but this did'nt make any effect on the database, the only change we observed was that now we were able to type arabic data in the SQL * Plus on the Server machine. But after saving the record when we retrieve the data is coming as ?????? , so we tried to insert the data using a client which is having the Arabic Support and we inserted a row using the SQL * Plus with arabic data in the insert statement, after inserting when we retrieve the data. The data was visible without any problem.
So What is the problem is the database storing the arabic data correctly or not ???, we think there is problem with the Server's Oracle Configuartion, is there any other way we can get the server working with arabic data or a Reinstall of the Oracle Data will solve the Problem.
Or we can do something on the server machine so that we dont need the Resinstallation.
If we have to Reinstall the Server what are the best practices and steps we should follow so that we have a seamless migration between the old and the new oracle database.
Thanks and Regards

With NLS_LANG on the client and NLS_CHARACTERSET in the database equal AR8MSWIN1256, you should be able to support Arabic data without problems. If you have problems, it usually means a configuration issue on the client, for example, NLS_LANG not set for the right Oracle Home, or lack of Arabic support in a particular tool.
You need to add Arabic message files to the database Oracle Home (i.e. Arabic should be selected in the Product Languages dialog box in the Installer) only if you care about the language of error messages returned from the database to clients. If you do not display these ORA-xxxx error messages to end users, it should be OK to leave them in English. Also, if you want Arabic error messages, month names, and weekday names, you should change AMERICAN to ARABIC in NLS_LANG.

Can time machine backups and data live on the same external drive?

I have a 1TB drive, more than enough for my data and backups. Question is, I already have it partitioned as Mac OSX extended (Journaled), and when I plugged it in my new mac with my old data, it said, do you want to use this as a backup drive. I selected yes, not thinking anything. But then I wondered, can I continue saving new data on this drive (music, videos, photos, etc) AND use it as a time machine backup drive, or is it either or? Hope this question makes sense. Thanks!

To expand on Lyssa's answer a bit, it really depends on what other data you want to put there.
If it's something like "scratch" space for editing video, etc., then no problem, except perhaps some contention for the drive while TM backups are running. Be sure to exclude the partition from TM, via TM Preferences > Options.
But if it's important data that's not backed-up elsewhere, then you can let TM back-up that other partition along with your internal HD. That's better than no backup of it at all, but not much.
So, consider backing it up separately, either to another external HD or (especially if it's something like photos or videos that don't change a lot) to DVDs (that you can take off-site for extra security).
But whatever you do, don't put other data in the TM partition. That will probably bite you sooner or later!

Rman backup and recovery architecture question.

Hi
Oracle : 11.2.0.2.0
OS : Redhat Linux.
We currently have RMAN implemented with scirpts taking backups for each database.These run through cron jobs on nightly schedule.
I am tasked with the automation of the recovery process , that will happen maybe every quarterly to check if we can recover effetively from the backups.( don't ask why).
My questions are
1) Should I be using OEM to do RMAN recovery instead of my scripts. What are the cons of doing it this way.
2) I have around 20 databases. My thought is to seetup Grid Control, and effectively setup the backups there provided answer to question 1 is yes.
3) Is there a way to automate the recovery using Grid control.
4) Should I be doing it differently and if so what? What is the standard practice?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
My suggestion is scripting.
You can find some recovery methods.

JFileChooser and date format questions

I have a JFileChooser that currently works - I set the default directory and allow the user to select a file or enter a file name.
I have been asked to modify this to prepopulate the file name field on the JFileChooser.
How do I do that? It is not obvious which method to call to set the filename field.
Also, the file name needs to be a timestamp "*yyyyMMddHHmmss*.dat"
I tried creating the timestamp part with the following code, but it does not format as expected.
        String s = "";
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddddHHmmss");
        try
            java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date();
            java.util.Date dat = dateFormat.parse( now.toString() );
            s = dat.toString();
        }What is wrong with this?
Thanks.
