10.7 to 11i Upgrade Horror Stories?

I am interested in hearing any horror stories re: 10.7 to 11i upgrade on SUN. How long to upgrade a 400Gb db (PA alone is 95Gb and AP is 90Gb)? my E10K has 12 cpus and 6Gb of memory. Any ideas?

We have several situations on the go for upgrades. THe main problem is that the process is not optimised at all. You need to see which processes take the time (depending on the volume of data in each table) and look at how to optimise. We have an OPM situation where one process went from 20 hours to 2 hours by making some simple performance changes. I believe that when the developers create the migration process they work with a very small number of records so the timing issues are not as obvious. Also look at getting 11.5.3. at this point to avoid the process of 11.5.2 to 11.5.3.

  • My IPad 6.1.3 is not allowing me to upgrade to version 7.0.2 ( not that I want to after reading all the horror stories).  My memory is 23.3gb available and ap is 3.3gb and....twice I've deleted pics from album and they are still there !

    My IPad 6.1.3 is not allowing me to upgrade to 7.0.2 (not that I want to after the horror stories) but I would like your advice on what to do. It's not memory because I have 23.3gb available. Also, my delete button in photos does not appear to be working.  I've deleted several pics twice and lo and behold, still there. My question is should I even upgrade to 7.0.2, what happens if I do not ?  And how do I get that delete button to delete ?  When first purchased, worked fine. Now....problems. Also, don't like the idea of having to pay for their support such as one time support question for $19.99 ?  Really ? Don't they all make enough $$ off the users of their products ? Okay, that's me last question.  Hope you can help me !  Thank you !

  • I'm still using Snow Leopard because heard too many horror stories about upgrading to Lion. But I can't upgrade Safari unless I upgrade OS. Is Mavericks any better than Lion?

    I'm still using Snow Leopard OS because I heard too many horror stories about people upgrading their OS to Lion.  But I can't upgrade Safari anymore unless I upgrade the OS. I get messages constantly telling me I need to upgrade my web browser, and have increasing problems correctly viewing pages (like L.A. TImes, NY TImes) because Safari needs upgrading.
    I can't really tell what the advantages are to upgrade to OS Mavericks or OS Yosemite because it seems most are intended for mobile apps, and I only use my desktop.
    My last upgrade to SNow Leopard wiped out 2/3 of my iPhoto collection. No idea why and no fix. Macs used to be the epitome of compatibility for upgrades — not anymore.
    What are my options? What issues would I encounter if I upgrade OS to Mavericks or to Yosemite? WHat are likely problems, advantages and disadvantages?
    Thanks for any help sent my way.

    If you do want to upgrade.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Do a backup before installing.
    One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Mavericks, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.

  • Can't load App Store on my macBook Pro.  Error is; You cannont open the application "App Store" because it is not supported on this system.  How can I upgrade App Store or download new version?

    Can't load App Store on my macBook Pro.  Error is; You cannont open the application "App Store" because it is not supported on this system.  How can I upgrade App Store or download new version?

    Problem now resolved as I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.  Seems App Store doesn't like anything previous to 10.6.

  • Database healthchecks and DBA horror stories

    A few questions if I may:
    1) I wondered if any of you could assist. I was looking for some sort of best practices Oracle DBA checklist around “maintenance tasks” and “monitoring tasks”, that a good DBA would do to keep there Oracle databases “healthy”. Microsoft have started putting together the reliability workbooks for some of their products which list recommended best practices when it comes to management (monitoring and maintenance) of their products:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee923724.aspx
    I could do with something similar for Oracle databases. If such exists
    2) Second part of my question is if you have ever experienced any significant issues to your Oracle databases from internal DBA’s/external DBA’s not doing these best practice maintenance/monitoring tasks. I.e. downtime, performance issues. Can you share any horror stories about lack of admin/management that had a knock on effect on the databases health, and any applications that rely on that database. The more horror stories the better if you don’t mind sharing. What didn’t they do what they should have done, and what impact did this have? What common things can DBA’s miss and what impact do they have?
    3) And finally, if you were to review your outsourced Oracle DBA’s maintenance/monitoring independently, what kind of areas would you look to for assurance they are managing your Oracle databases well. Any particular markers? Do you see any common mistakes DBA's making in their management of their database estate?

  • 11i upgrade(11.5.3 11.5.8) using rapid and cloning.

    Hi all,
    Has anybody done this kind of an upgrade...?
    (11i upgrade(from 11.5.3 > 11.5.8) using rapid and cloning).
    I would like to use rapid install to install 11.5.8 base and then i would like to clone the current instance to the newly installed 11.5.8 instance and if needed apply the 11.5.8 maintenance pack.
    If anybody done like this, please provide me the step by step procedure.I am cofused whether i need to apply 11.5.8 maintanance pack after cloning to 11.5.8 or not?

    Hi yehuda,
    Thanks for your reply....
    I installed 11.5.8 on both tiers and removed the default database and restored production DB and upgrade it to 8.1.7.4.But now the sysadmin and jtflogins are not working... it seemd like DB configuration parameters are still pointing to production.
    So how you clone the database from old version to the new one and upgraded...... please let me know... i already cloned and upgraded it.. but i do have connection issues....
    Beside that I also found the new 11.5.8 database instances has around 360 tablespace where as 11.5.3 has only around 290,probably according to the modules i selected... so that's not an issue.. but how can i resolve sysadmin and jtflogin errors using old database(which is now upgraded to 8.1.7.4)
    thanks

  • Will the apple store let you upgrade in store

    will the apple store let you upgrade in store if you buy the iphone4 because of the micro sim. or will l have to go to o2 and get my micro sim before the iphone comes out . l was going to get the iphone4 when comes out at the apple store because l would rather got to the apple store than a o2 store

    All iphones in Apple stores have sims already installed in the phones. You should have no problem doing everything right in the store.

  • What has been your experience upgrading from Mac OS X 10.6.0 to 10.7 or 10.8?  I read real horror stories about Maverick.

    What has been your experience upgrading from Mac OS X 10.6.8 ti 10.7 or 10.8?

    my story was indeed a horror story
    Mavericks is not an upgrade of previous OSes, but rather a port of iOS
    If you want your computer to function like an iPad, go for it.
    Snow Leopard on the other hand is a full-featured and stable OS - the best of them in my opinion.
    Mavericks makes it easier to port Pages and Numbers documents back and forth between your computer and your iPad - but this portability comes at the price of many, many lost features in both programs.  Over 100 lost features in Pages.  Don't know how many for Numbers, but because of lost functionality you risk losing data (if you used Footers and Headers, Page View, etc.).
    It is possible to use the older version of iWork under Mavericks, but it is a real pain as Mavericks keeps trying to default you to the newer versions.  Even accidentally opening with the newer version and not saving changes can cause the file identifier to be altered making it no longer open under the older version (I did find a way to force open)  Deleting the newer versions from your system results in Mavericks nagging you on a daily basis to reinstall them.  There is no option to say No, only the option to postpone for one day.
    the OS itself is much less customizable, I found it much harder to use with older eyesight because I couldn't highlight my scroll bars, or change the colour of certain files in a list, etc.  Anywhere I went to Preferences I was struck by how few of them there were - less than half as many as Snow Leopard, in some cases less than 25%.  Again, I had used those missing Preferences.
    Mavericks also takes away many of the abilities of iTunes to sync with your iPad or iPhone and forces you to use iCloud to do much of the synching.  If you don't want to use iCloud, or if you have confidentiality issues that prevent you from using it - you are out of luck. 
    In the end I found Mavericks unusable.  The process of reverting back to Snow Leopard required 5 hours with 2 different geniuses at the Apple Store, 2 deep wipes of my computer and fresh install of Snow Leopard.    And some loss of settings and data.
    If you choose to go for it, then make a bootable backup first.  Some sources suggest making 2 backups.
    There are people who are happy with Mavericks, but I am not one of them.
    Since I had my misadventure they have made some improvements to Mavericks, but not nearly enough of them to tempt me back.  For example, you cannot set your old Pages and Numbers documents to 'always open' with the older version of the software ... or rather you can set them to, but Mavericks will immediately revert it back to the new version.

  • I would like to upgrade my macbook pro model 5.1 (yosemite) to a Crucial 500 gb ssd drive, but I am hearing horror stories about ssd and yosemite conflicts, now what???

    Newbie here...I would like to upgrade my HDD to a Crucial or similar 500 gb SSD. I am hearing that there are conflicts with SSD's and the Yosemite OS, any help or advice would be welcomed. Macbook pro (5.1).
    thanx
    mellowfellow

    Hi...Quick response.
    I have been checking with other forums and various " how-to" groups about the upgrade. The concern is about using third party non-apple SSD's and only Yosemite and not Maverick or previous OS's. The SSD will eventually bog down because of the accumulating erased data and poor trash control, there are other issues involving security , and something about Trim enable and disable. I haven't tried anything  nor bought an SSD yet, I am just concerned about screwing something up.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro upgrade from store on win-8 hangs at "preparing to restart" 98%

    Hi,
    I tried to upgrade win-8.1 Pro from store and it run more than 12 hrs and does not move after 98% "Preparing to restart".
    I tried few times after restart also same.
    why
    Tks
    hari

    Hi,
    By analyzing the error log, operating system did not have correct privileges to perform the upgrade. 
    Did your computer join the domain?
    If your computer joined the domain,we suggested you to remove the machine from Domain and move it to a workgroup
    Did you have multi-bootable partitions? If yes, mark your Windows partition as "Active". 
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mark-partition-active#1TC=windows-7
    If the issue persists,Run CMD as Administrator, type following command:
    Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth 
    Also, find the following location,and update the ownership of this directory to the Administrators group and granted Administrators Full Control to the directory.
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
    Hope this helps.

  • 11i upgrade - Step: Apply latest product patches (required)

    Hi,
    I am in the process of upgrading 11.5.9 (DB 9.2.0.4) to 12.1.1 (DB 10.2.0.5).
    As part of the upgrade steps in document titled *"Oracle® E-Business Suite Upgrade Guide Release 11i to 12.1.1 Part No. / E16342-04 / August 2010"*, I was directed to apply the latest product patche. Chapter 3, section 5.
    I downloaded the latest copy of the patchsets.sh from Oracle and ran it with the following parameters:
    patchsets.sh connect=apps/<apps_password> available=metalink
    This tool generated a bunch of reports including one called "Report.txt" and "Report_R12.txt"
    Which one of these patches am I supposed to download and apply to be able to continue with the upgrade?

  • Financials 10.7 to 11i Upgrade - Presentations

    Hi,
    Have got to upgrade GL, AP, AR & FA for a customer running on 10.7 to 11.5.9.
    1) Any comparitive prasentation will help:
    For this as a functional consultant I have got to demonstrate to the end users how to do in 11i, all the functionalities that are being done in the current 10.7.
    What I mean here is, I need not demonstrate delta features. But I need to show how to do the functionality existing in 10.7 in the new 11i.
    2) Test Scripts:
    This again to show that there is no data loss & that all the reports etc are working fine. Just to prove that every thing is running as usual, post upgrade

    You can find several presentations about upgrade in http://www.solutionbeacon.com/
