Single Code Page Unicode conversion when source and target are the same

Hi everyone.  We have recently upgraded our non-unicode 4.7 to ECC6 non-unicode.  Now we have begun researching the next step to convert to Unicode.  I know we could have done the Combined Upgrade and Unicode Conversion but I wanted to do thorough testing after the upgrade to eliminate too many variables if problems arose.
So, my question is...has anyone done the Unicode conversion when source and target servers are the same?  Most documentation I've seen recommends a system copy to another box first.  I did find one forum thread that gave a high level approach to doing the conversion with just one server and listed this:
Step 1:- Run Tcode SPUMG to scan
Step 2:- Export Database
Step 3:- Drop Database
Step 4:- Create New Database
Step 5:- Import database
Step 6:- Chnage unicode Kernel
What are your thoughts?  Is it supported?  Am I wasting my time and should I just bite the bullet and buy yet another system?  Thanks in advance.

Theoretically that's possible, yes. However...
> Step 5:- Import database
> Step 6:- Chnage unicode Kernel
the import must be done using the Unicode kernel.
So basically you can
- export the old systm
- uninstall system + database
- start as if you were installing "from scratch" on a new box

  • Parametrized relation connections - don't work when source and target are different

    Hi All,I have next problem:I am using parametrized relation connection firstConnection (user and (encripted)password are taken from parameter file). Here are values from param file: $DBConnection_source=firstConnection$DBConnection_source=firstConnection$ParamUser=svaba$ParamPwd=Dni32iRiH0Yjro1U04+RTC==  This is (source and target are same) working fine for years.
     But now I need two different connection, i.e. source is (existing)   firstConnection and target is secondConnection. On both instances I have  same user 
      (svaba) with same password. I created second parameterized connection with  user = $ParamUser    and password = $ParamPwd     Now, parameters are: $DBConnection_source=firstConnection$DBConnection_source=secondConnection$ParamUser=svaba$ParamPwd=Dni32iRiH0Yjro1U04+RTC== When run workflow, got error: ORA-01005: null password given: logon denied.I triede to change connections by entering values for password (not use parameters for password) got error: ORA-01017:invalid username/password:logon denied.When I am using same (parametrized) connection for source and target (any of these two) everything is fine. That is sign that connections are good. Does someone have any idea about this problem

I have visited a genuis bench at Fountain gate however, they tell me I need to ring apple support which I will do on the next working day.

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • Strange problem with SQLPLUS when client and server on the same box

    Hi,
    I have the problem with SQLPLUS when clinet and server on the same machine.
    With client and server on the same machine i am running the command
    sqlplus -l username/password@connect_identifier as SYSDBA.
    With this command, even if you pass in wrong username or wrong password or both as wrong you can able to connect to database and execute queries.
    Once Connect_identifier is correct and trying to log in as SYSDBA ,sqlplus will log in to DB with any username and password.
    How to get rid of this behaviour. Is there any way to do this.
    I am running this command by creating a process in C#

    How does Oracle/SQLPLUS allows any username or password to log in to DB with SYSDBA Privillages? What is the concept behind this.?
    This is explainted in the above mentioned link:
    Operating system authentication takes precedence over password file authentication. If you meet the requirements for operating system authentication, then even if you use a password file, you will be authenticated by operating system authentication.

  • Enabl BGP between PE-CE when PE and CE are in same AS

    We have BGP enable PE-CE setup in MPLS network. Customer A has branches with unique AS numbers.
    We connected our PE routers via BGP with customer CE. Issue is Customer's Head Office AS number is equal to our AS number .
    We are telecom provider having same AS for iBGP in our MPLS network.
    Can you say how connect customer AS (Headoffice) with our PE router when PE and CE are in same AS

    No, you cannot use it only at one side otherwise one side will try to do an iBGP peering while the other will try to do an eBGP peering. And anyway, IOS is smart enough to refuse the local-as command if the remote-as matches its local AS.

  • Can we create the Mapping program,when source and target structures same?

    Hi Friends,
    if we have the same structure at source side and target side:
    1) Is it necessary to create the mapping program?
    2) If no need of mapping program what you will mention in the Interface Mapping?
    3) In ID part which objects no need to create when both structures are same?
    Regards,
    Naidu.

    Hi
    >1) Is it necessary to create the mapping program?
    No need to create mapping if both structure identical in all respects.
    >2) If no need of mapping program what you will >mention in the Interface Mapping?
    Dont define mapping and iterface mapping.
    >3) In ID part which objects no need to create when >both structures are same?
    You cannt assign a interface mapping as it is not defined in IR. leave that as interface mapping is not mandatory in Interface Determination Step.
    Thanks

  • I'm trying to access a forum that requires a user name and password.  When I do it on my mac it tells me the password is incorrect but when I do it on my iPad, I can access it without any problem.  I can confirm the username and password are the same

    I am trying to access a forum for which you need a username and password but it keeps telling me the username/password i've entered are incorrect.  Bizarrely, when I enter the same username/password combination on my iPad, it grants access without any problem. 
    What could be causing this, is it an issue with cookies, caches or similar.  How can I resolve it?  The forum administrator is at a loss as to what the problem is.

    Try the following steps in Safari to see if they help:
    1) First try clearing the Safari cache.  To do this pull down the Safari menu and select 'Empty cache...', then try logging into the site again.
    2) If the issue continues then reset Safari by pulling down the Safari menu and select'Reset Safari...'. You will be presented with a list of items that can be reset. I suggest selecting the 'Reset saved names and passwords', and 'Remove all website data' options at a minimum.
    Here is a list of the options and what they do. I pulled it from the Safari help page.
    Clear history:
    Clears the list of webpages you viewed.
    Reset Top Sites:
    Clears any changes you made to Top Sites, such as adding or pinning sites. If you also clear your history, your Top Sites page reverts to showing the webpage previews displayed when you first installed Safari.
    Remove all webpage preview images:
    Clears any thumbnail images Safari saved of webpages you viewed.
    Clear the Downloads window:
    Clears the list of files you downloaded from websites. Only the names are removed; the files themselves are still on your disk until you remove them.
    Remove all website icons:
    Removes website icons, which are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the Safari address field and bookmarks list, and other places. These icons are stored on your computer.
    Remove saved names and passwords:
    Removes user names and passwords that Safari automatically fills in at websites that require them (if the AutoFill feature is turned on).
    Remove other AutoFill form text:
    Removes some personal information, such as telephone numbers, that Safari uses to automatically fill in forms on webpages (if the AutoFill feature is turned on). Removing AutoFill information does not remove information from your address book.
    Close all Safari windows:
    If you don’t close all Safari windows, someone could use the Back and Forward buttons to view the webpages you visited.
    Reset all location warnings:
    Clears any information websites saved about your location.
    Remove all website data:
    Removes cookies, tracking information, and other data that websites stored on your computer.

    Hi Notary,
    I saw something similar with my 4 TB Promise SmartStor NAS after I upgraded to Lion. Only, I had ALL of my iTunes library on the NAS and one day, about a week after the upgrade I finally tried to play music with iTunes, but it kept throwing up an error just like the one you're seeing. I searched around for a while and finally found some steps that fixed the problem.
    I found this solution at another site (can't remember which) that gave credit to this site:
    http://www.alexanderwilde.com/2011/04/os-x-lion-connection-error-with-afp-and-wo rkaround/
    Here are the directions I cut-n-pasted into my little notes file:
    1) Launch the Terminal app
    2) Run this command:
    sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    3) Run this command:
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
    4) Restart your computer
    5) From Finder, select an AFP server, or use “Connect To…”
         This will cause the AFP Client to create the full preferences file
    6) Launch the Terminal app again
    7) Run this command (all on one line, make sure double-quotes are simply double-quotes from your keyboard, not pasted from the web as up and down quote marks) (yes, some of the spelling looks weird):
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"
    8) Run this command:
    sudo chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
    9) Restart your computer
    To disable this hack, run this command (all on one line, make sure double-quotes are simply double-quotes from your keyboard, not pasted from the web as up and down quote marks):
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array-add "DHCAST128"
    I hope that helps. If not, sorry for the ludicrous-long reply.

  • Issues when Insert and Analyze at the same time

    Hi All,
    We have a weekend job that used to take 12-15 hours usually and insert around 8 millions of records to a table from external table. Last weekend the same load took 60 hours and it move to Monday and there are some business impact.
    While we investigate the same issue we identified that there is one more weekend analyze job for all the tables and indexes and took around almost same time and we noticed that the table we inserted the 8 million records alone it took around 15 hours. This table now has around 91 Core records.
    We need to identify why this jobs taken long time as almost 4 times compare to the normal scenario.
    I would like to know what exactly happen when Analyze and insert happened to the table at the same time. And What all issues can occur because this.
    Best Regards,
    Shijo

    Ok,
    It is unclear what version you are using as you forgot to post that.
    Furthermore it is unclear what 'Analyze' is, as analyze statistics was already deprecated in 9i.
    Secondly, most people is this forum speak English, and they are accustomed international units only.

  • HT4059 Why won't the titles of books update on my iPad? I went through and changed a lot of then, but when synced the titles and authors are the same.

    I updated over 100 book titles and authors and when synced, everything is the same as it was before on my iPad. When it's connected to the computer the changed names are there.

    Delete the references to them from the iTunes library and then either redownload them from the iTunes Store or use the Transfer Purchases function.

  • HT4528 How do you fix when you and somebody are sharing same hotmail it won't let you sign out of Apple ID account in AppStore won't let you go to iCloud on settings or let you fix your addresses who gets your messages and stuff like that on iphone

    How when your Sharing a Apple ID with somebody after I updated it to 7.0.4 it changed my message stuff and wouldn't let me go to iCloud or switch apple id's how do I fix all of this stuff

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • Does MagSafe 2 T Connector get hot when charging and using at the same time (while the light still in amber) ?

    Hi,
    Just want to check out with the other Apple Users here. I am using a Late 2013 rMBP, however the T Connector do get hot while I am charging and using the mac at the same time. Is this normal ? or do I have to drop by an Apple Store to check it out ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello there.
    It's quite normal for the magsafe 2 connector (magnetic one) to become a bit warm while it's charging your mac. It will be warmer when your battery is low and the heat will start to dissipate as the battery charges. There is absolutely nothing to worry about. Normally your magsafe can go upto 35℃ depending your surrounding temperature. Even mine does. Just remember the warmth should not be untouchable, if that is what you feel take to a apple genius bar to get it checked.
    Hope that helps.
    Thank you.

  • Using isetup for source and target instace being same.

    Can we use isetup to create a replica of existing operating unit and the modules connected with it?
    Ahmed,

    Yes, Yes. Very much. You can have a look at 'Financials Operating Unit Level Setup' selection set to achieve what you are looking for. Here is the step to do:
    1) Create an Extract using 'Financials Operating Unit Level Setup' selection setFinancials Operating Unit Level Setup' selection set
    2) After successful completion of Extract, transform the Extract using Transform module. During transform you can change the Operating Unit name.
    3) Load the Transform to same instance.
    Make sure that you have all mandatory patches applied on your instances. I have documented the required patches on each release in the announcement section.
