SAP Printer migration from AIX to windows

Dear Experts,
We migrated our ECC from AIX to Windows.
We want to migrate printers from AIX to windows.
Do we have to create queues from scratch in SPAD?
Can we use existing queues in SPAD?
Please guide what all steps are required.
Your help will be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Harry

Hi Hary,
For windows environment you need to change the spool server hostname in SPAD and activate all the relevant printers.
Please check whether you had any network printers configured on AIX host. You can use command
smitty spooler or
lpstat -W -p<queuename>
If there are any spoolers configured for SAP system, you need to recreate them on windows.
Hope this helps.

Migrating from AIX to Windows

Hi all,
We are considering in a SAP R/3 4.6c to ECC6 Upgrade, the option to migrate from AIX to Windows OS.
We heard that this option is not so usual.
- Could you tell us some feedback and recommendation about it?
- What kind of issues will we face?
Thanks for your help,
Chris

Usual? What is "usual"?
> - Could you tell us some feedback and recommendation about it?
> - What kind of issues will we face?
This depends heavily (if not only) on your environment. Some thoughts:
- Windows is little endian whereas AIX is big endian; this may affect connected software (non-SAP software, filesystem transfers etc.)
- additional software plus licenses may become necessary (cluster, backup...)
- do you have enough knowledge about Windows (+ its internals) as you have on AIX? Windows is not "easier" by default just because you have a mouse to click... (even if everyone thinks it is). Windows administration is totally different to any *nix (you may need to change scripts, consider updating regularly, think about problems you didn't have before (Virus, Worms) etc.)
- Hardware for Windows is usually cheaper than Power based hardware for AIX
- Windows licenses (+ CALs) must be bought
Just as another thought: Did you consider running Linux instead? You will use the same (cheaper) hardware with a more common environment (if you come from AIX)?

Hi,
1) Does oracle support this kind of migration?Yes.
2) Is this achievable, without involving any functional consultants? You do not need any functional consultants for this migration.
3) Can anyone help with some metalink notes or document on this migration?Please see these documents.

Migration from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 11 - What steps?? (MAC)

I am planning to migrate from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 11 (Mac). I will continue to use the PE catalog in PE 11 to organize my library of 16,000+ photos. Although I had considered moving to Aperture for my Digital Asset Manager (in order to more seamlessly work in an Apple environment), I have instead decided to stay with PE since I am familiar with it and happy with its functionality.
I am hoping that this forum can help me: I need to know what steps to follow to perform this migration. (I am a non-technical user. All I know thus far is that I need buy a boxed version or PE11 - NOT download it from the Apple app site - in order to get the cataloging function.) I would like the process to enable me to port both my photos AND my hierarchical keyword tagging structure.
(Some background on why I am asking this question proactively: I was severely burned in a previous upgrade from PE 5 to PE 8 (Windows XP to Windows 7) where ALL of my tagging got lost in the move. This, despite hours of work with the Adobe support team who had me write the keywords into metadata and re-backup, re-port, etc, etc. It was a nightmare of many hours spent. All unsuccessful. I ended up manually re-tagging each of my photos. Needless to say, I do not want to go through that again,)
Thanks in advance for your help. Amy

Elements Downloader doesn't auto run on a mac. It's set up so that you always have to launch it from organizer.
If you know you won't use iphoto, then it's a good idea to go to the iphoto preferences>General>When a camera is connected, and choose No Application, in which case the card will mount like a drive on your desktop and you can drag the photos from it or launch PSE Downloader, or choose Image Capture, in which case apple's own OS X downloader/scanner utility launches and you can use that, then File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders to bring them into Organizer.
For moving the catalog, the most important thing is to be sure the catalog is okay in windows first, so do go to manage catalogs>repair, and then optimize before backing up. The transfer is very easy when it works.

Printing directly on SAP-printer or via preview on windows printer

Hi all,
I'm having a serious print problem: The result of printing directly on a SAP printer or printing via preview on a windows printer is a wide difference!
In the beginning I was working only with the preview of the LiveCycle Designer to check the design of my forms. Later on I was checking them in preview mode in SAP-transactions or saved them onto my local disk. Printing was no problem because I printed the created forms on a window printer.
One day there was a big surprise when printing a form directly from SAP on a local SAP-printer (HP printer). The output looked a bit different. Somehow the form was like streched. The left and right margins were not on the sheet anymore. Even the lowest part of the footer was not visilble anymore. It looked like the layout was centerd and aligned on top of the page.
The SAP printer is installed with a PCL driver (standard for HP). Even adjustments relative to the SAP-hint 1444342
(device independent printing) were regarded.
My question now is: how to install SAP-printers that the print output is the same no matter what print method is chosen?
I appreciate any help, hints and good advices which leads to a solution of my problem.
Thanks & regards,
Phil
PS: I'm creating a Form with LiveCycle Designer 9.0.1 (SAP GUI 720, Patch-level 4).

Hi Prathamesh,
Follow this approach.
Get NAST entry corresponding to invoice number(invoice number = objky).
insert this piece of code :
     gwa_nast-vstat = 1.
     gwa_nast-erdat = sy-datum.
     gwa_nast-eruhr = sy-uzeit.
     gwa_nast-usnam = sy-uname.
     gwa_nast-manue = 'X'.
     gwa_nast-vstat = 0.
     gwa_nast-LDEST = P_printername_from_selection_screen.
     CLEAR gwa_nast-datvr.
     CLEAR gwa_nast-uhrvr.
     CLEAR gwa_nast-cmfpnr.
   MOVE gwa_nast TO nast.
   PERFORM einzelnachricht_dialog IN PROGRAM rsnast00 USING sy-subrc.
   IF sy-subrc NE 0.
     PERFORM objekt_entsperren IN PROGRAM rsnast00.
     IF sy-subrc EQ 9.
       RAISE print_error_dial.
     ELSE.
       RAISE print_error.
     ENDIF.
   ENDIF.
   SET SCREEN 0.
   PERFORM objekt_entsperren IN PROGRAM rsnast00.
   COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
the above will generate a spool.
Thanks,
Anil

Migration from AIX Oracle8i to Solaris Oracle8i?

Hi,
I wonder how to migrate Oracle 8i (8.1.7) on AIX to Oracle
8i (8.1.7) on Solaris?
The Oracle version is the same, but only the O.S platform is
different. I have found the migration information from Oracle
web site but it only talks about migration between different
database.
Thanks.

> In our organisation, we are planning to migrate from AIX6.1 to Solaris x64. The processor which we'll be using is UltraSPARC+IV processor.
Well - I think you're mixing a few things up here.
Solaris x64 refers to Solaris on the Intel or the AMD processor (x64 == x86_64 == AMD64)
UltraSPARC IV+ refers to a CPU developed by Sun (now Oracle).
> 1. Which guide to refer for moving the SAP System from AIX6.1 to Solaris
There are no specific guides for OS migrations. You use the heterogeneous system copy approach. However, migrating a database and/or operating system requires a certified migration consultant on-site doing the migration. If you do it yourself you'll loose support from SAP for problems during the migration and for the target system (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration).
> 2. Is UltraSPARC+IV processor is supported for Oracle 10g
Yes. Solaris 10 on SPARC Is supported.

Upgrade + migration from nw04 on windows 2000 to nw04s on windows 2008

Dear all,
I need to upgrade and migrate my nw04 java system from windows 2000 to nw04s on windows 2008.
From the PAM I can see that NW04 is not supported on windows 2008 and that nw04s (7.0) is not supported on windows 2000.
So, which is the correct upgrade path? Do I need an intermediate win 2003 server which is supported from both the releases?
Thanks and regards in advance
Federico

Hello my friend
This will be a very interesting project for sure. As you know, kernel 640 is not supported on win2008 and 700 is not supported on win2000, so here there must be a win2003 as a transition platform for this upgrade+ migration, not to mention migration from 32bit to x64 is also involved. You didn't mention the DB versions in source and target systems, as well as the SAP product you're trying to go with. Here's a brief checklist right now for what I can think of, once you're back with more details then let's make it intact:
I assume your source OS/DB is win2000SQL2000 32bit, target one is win2008SQL2008 x64.
1. Install a win2003 x64 server and SQL2000 32bit;
2. Install a new SAP instance same as your source system release in 32bit compatible mode;
note: if the system being migrated is BW, then be aware of that you might want to bring new features in SQL2008 of row compression and table partitions.
3. Detach the source DB from old SQL2000, and attach it to new SQL2000; some post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool). Now you've finish a migration from win2000 to win2003 32bit;
4. Start upgrading NW04 to 7.0, 640 to 700, find details in upgrade guide; Now you have your 700 instance on win2003 x64+SQL2000 32bit;
note: since release 701(700 EHP1) is available now, which you might want to upgrade instead of 700.
5. Change the collation 850BIN2 for SQL2000 32bit, detach DB;
6. Since migration from 32bit to x64 cannot be done smoothly, now you have to uninstall everything and reinstall win2003 and SQL2008 x64, followed by a new 700 or 701 instance;
7. Attach the source DB, post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool); Now you have your 700 or 701 instance on win2003 x64+SQL2008 x64;
8. Detach the SQL2008 DB;
9. Now go to your target win2008 OS, install SQL 2008 x64 and new 700 or 701 instance;
note: there might be some restrictions for NW 7.0 on win2008, go with the latest release (SR3 or newer).
10. Attach DB to this final OS/DB version: win2008 x64+SQL2008 x64, post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool).
Helpful?

Effan

Oracle E-business suite database migrate from AIX to Linux

Oracle 11i application database migration from single Aix instance to oracle Linux cluster RAC.
What is the easy way to migrate?
Migrate single instance from aix to linux cluster.
OR
Migrate single instance from aix to linux cluster RAC.
We have installed oracle Linux cluster.
Please help me which way I can go with RAC.
Thanks
Prince

Migrating to a single instance will be the simplest. The migration itself will not be much different between the two because you're migrating from one platform to another. The options you have available are, the traditional IMP/EXP, datapump, and RMAN to migrate to either a standalone or RAC environment. The difficulty will be in creating a RAC environment and a little a few extra steps in the RMAN restore. Working with RAC will make things harder, but the actual migration is similar. The steps to IMP/EXP, whether it's traditional or Datapump will be no different. However, standing up a RAC database will be.

SAP Archiving - Migrating from one archive backend to another.

Hi,
We use SARA for archiving and the archiving system is IBM Provided Filenet Database with ACSAP middle-ware.
From 1999 till 2009 we have archived terabytes of data into Filenet Database.
We plan to discontinue Filenet as our choice of archiving backend system and will like to migrate all existing archived data to the new archivingsystem. We are yet to decide what new system will will move to.
We are looking for help from SAP to answer following questions:
1) Is it possible migrate all past data from existing archiving system to a new one?
2) If Yes, then what is the broad approach? Does the data have to be retrieved back to SAP OR Can it be directly migrated from one backend to another one?
Retrieving the data and reloading into another tool in my opinion would be rather cumbersome and stupid method until this is the only option.
In Any case, at the end of day we want that all the data should be readable from SAP like before.
3) Is there any SAP provided tool that we can use rather then going for a 3rd party product?
4) Please guide to migration related documentation.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Regards,
Chandra.

Hello Chandra
yes- there are ways to migrate data out of Filenet into 3rd party tool without retrieving them back through SAP. I am not aware of any SAP tool itself but we have one and could help you with this effort. Please contact me at 610 3508677 and we can discuss the possibilities.

Migrating from PSE for Windows 6 to PSE for Mac 6 including metadata

Can't find anything in the knowledge base on this.
I am giving up on Windows. Its just too messy and ugly. One of the final changes will be migrating from MS Windows Vista and PSE 6 to a brand new Mac, using LEopard 10.5.2 and PSE for Mac 6.
I want to migrate my images from the Windows machine, as well as the metadata organizing information. Surely I am not the only one with this need. I know I can save the mages in a mutually readable file format, export, and have them on the Mac, but I have a great deal of metatdata and image organization in the Windows version of PSE 6.
Please tell me how to migrate the entirety of PSE for Windows to my new Mac.
Thanks.....

Some related questions-- can Bridge CS3 search sub-folders? Could I filter for a Keyword at the top of a tree, and locate all files with that keyword in sub-folders?
While exporting files from PSA2 on a PC I am using Share / Email to attach my existing keywords. Can they be drag-and-drop added to a Hierarchy in the Keywords panel? (Either from the Filter panel where they are automatically listed and counted, or from the "Other" location in the Keywords panel where they appear italicized?)
I had deluded myself into believing that PSE6 for the Mac included Organizer. Would Lightroom be a logical option for organizing? Particularly if I want to catalog many images on CD without storing them on disk? Can it be purchased separately? What other options would you recommend?

Oracle E-business Suite release 12.1.1 migration from AIX to OEL on OVM

Hi
We will be migrating our current Oracle E-business suite release 12.1.1 production environment from AIX to OEL using OVM. We are experienced in migrating from one platform to another on single box but this is the first time we will be using OVM.
We will be gratefull if somebody can provide us the right path to migrate to OVM, my understanding is:
1. Setup Hypervisor, install OVM guests OS using OVM templates
2. Install E-business suite environment using OVM templates
3. follow Export / import document to migrate E-business suite environment
need suggestions
Thank You
Shahrukh yasin

No. Do not use the EBS templates.
1. Get OVM up and running.
2. Install OEL guests.
3. Check requirements for running OEL on EBS 12.1. They are different for different version of OEL. There are several oracle support articles detailing the requirement from OEL4 thru OEL6. I personally would use OEL5.
4. Clone your DB and app tops and get them working.
5. When you get ready to cut, refresh your DB. You can use datapump but it will take some time depending on how much data you have. You may want to upgrade your DB. If you're running anything less than 11.2.0.3. If you do, then datapump is the best option. At least in my opinion. There are several issues with running 12.1 and 11.2.0.3. Make sure you address them. There are several support articles detailing them. Oracle 10 database isn't supported on OVM. 10 isn't offically supported at all anymore.
6. Rerun you clone scripts on your app tiers and reconfigure your app layout.

OS migration from XP to windows 7 using SCCM for 900 remote location.... Single pc every site.

Hi,
I am running into this issue. We have SCCM 2012 in place and i have to migrate 900 remote sites (extremely slow bandwidth) with no DP, from XP to windows 7. Each site only have 1 PC running XP and my task is to do migration plus migrate data over from xp
to windows 7 too using sccm. Please advise how it can be done? The critical thing is 'extremely slow bandwidth' between locations and head office.
I understand in other scenarios i could have created 'Task Sequence' and had advertised it over the WAN but here it seems i cannot because of extremely slow bandwidth.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

You have a very tough challenge ahead. You have the option of creating stand alone media for the task sequence and distributing it to the remote sites to work around the slow bandwidth issue. You still have the challenge of data migration to work through.
This is a very complex question that to answer requires specific knowledge of your environment. Can it be done? Yes. With the basic info in your question I would propose delivering media to each site that can be used to deploy the new os task sequence and
backup and restore the data.

DB migration from AIX to Linux

Dear Experts,
We are planning to migrate our existing 10g database of 11.5.10.2 from AIX to Linux. Can anyone share their experiences? Some docs/URLS will be helpful. One of my friends told that it takes more than 36 hours to complete the database migration. Is it really true? The current database size is approx. 100GB.
After the migration does, apps function as usual?
Thanks in advance.
SA

Hi,
You can use export/import or transportable tablespaces to migrate the database.

hi!
You can start to migrate the printers to type U (UNIX Berkeley protocol) and leave unix spool.
