About upgrade from previous version of Apex to a higher version-XE

Hi,
We are using Apex based on database 10g Xe, but we found that it is not easy to upgrade to a newer version of apex, becuase we have to install the full version at every realease of a new apex.
We cannot access Metalink to find the patchsets for upgrade, will you make it easier for upgrading the xe, like, put a upgrade file in the full realease?
Or enable downloading the upgrade patchset out of Metalink?
Is that possible?
Peter

Hi John & Arie,
Thanks for your kind answers, at currently we are not considered an upgrade, becuase our database is so small, and so little end users for my apex app, I am only running a very small, not much feature apex app, and only with cocurrent users 2, total users 5. We used the app almost one year, and if I expdp the schema I am using for work, it is only 4.5MB.
It is totally my personal stuff, I found it is very effiecient, becasue otherwise I have to do the samething with MS Excel, my small app, though humble, but much better than Excel.
I may consider an upgrade if I made a success step with Bill of Material and the warehouse management, in the future, currenlty I still don't have to gut/skill to do so, I am struggling with PL/SQL now, the basic stuff.
So, I think any upgrade will be too expensive for us, and I even dreamed the printing with BI, but that is just too expensive for my humble app.
yeah, though without access of Metalink, we can still find some very good workarounds, thanks to the apex/Oracle team, and guys/girls like you that offer kind of free services at this forum.
I just did the upgrade with the full installation, I drop everything and reloaded them after upgrading.
Took me around 1.5 hours to do so.
Cheers,
Peter

Upgrading from cisco LMS 3.0 to a latest version

Hello,
Upgrading from cisco LMS 3.0 to a higher version.
Whatdoes it require?.
What is the current version?
What do we need for upgrading?
Are there specific codes or new need to buy new products?
In case of buying new products, which are the configurations?

H Malik,
You are correct! Latest version is Cisco prime LMS 4.2. There is no direct upgrade from LMS 3.x to LMS 4.x.
The procedure is simple:
Take backup orf old LMS --> Un-install (if same machine)--> Install new LMS --> Restore backup to get old data.
You would need to purchase new license for it.Cisco Prime LMS is now part of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure bundle and is not orderable separately. Cisco Prime Infrastructure bundle follows a size-based incremental licensing model. Device licenses can be combined and added when applied to a single server installation instance. Customers have the option of adding incremental licenses for additional devices as their network grows.Refer to the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Ordering Guide located at http://www.cisco.com/go/primeinfrastructure for the exact part number that matches your requirement and placing the order.
Currently even SmartNet or SAS contracts does not cover major upgrades from LMS 2.x and 3.x; an upgrade part number will need to be purchased to move to Cisco Prime LMS 4.2. These upgrade part numbers reflect a significant discount to protect customers' investment in the Cisco Prime product line.
The data migration process will vary depending on the LMS version from which the data need to be migrated. Migrating data to LMS 4.2:
• LMS 4.2 supports local upgrade or direct inline upgrade only from LMS 4.0.1 and LMS 4.1.
• LMS 4.0 customers are encouraged to install LMS 4.0.1 before doing inline upgrade to LMS 4.2.
• LMS 3.2 and LMS 3.2 Service Pack 1 customers can do a remote upgrade through the LMS backup and restore mechanism.
• LMS 3.1, LMS 3.0, LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update, LMS 2.6, and LMS 2.6 Service Pack 1 customers need to do a remote upgrade to LMS 4.0.1 and then upgrade to LMS 4.2.

It´s possible to upgrade from the latest mavericks beta to the final version?

Hi all. I´m thinking in becoming a developper because I want to install mavericks beta on my macbook pro (I can´t wait for the battery and ram upgrades). But i have a question before that. It´s posible to upgrade from the latest mavericks beta to the final version? , or Ihave to restore to mavericks final version and then use a time machine Backup?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for english

No one who knows can say, because Mavericks is not released yet.
To get a Free copy that can be updated, you need to have a paid developer membership, at a minimum cost of at least US$100/ annually. (This may also include one Developer Tech Support incident and other benefits.)
Apple has lowered the cost of new versions of Mac OS X to about US$20. If Mavericks is released at about that price, buying a legitimate copy instead of depending on a quirky developer version that cannot be updated should not be a difficult decision.

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?
I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?

Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

HT1444 how do I upgrade from Mac OS 10.5.8 to later versions so new software like turbo tax will work

how do I upgrade from Mac OS 10.5.8 to later versions so new software like turbo tax will work?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

i have a mac and am thinking about upgrading from snowlepard to lion , is it a good idea and hard to adapt to

This is my "About This Mac" ... it shows I have Intel i7 CPU. If you are running SL, you at least have Intel, but would need at least Core2Duo an 2 GB (most people suggest 4 GB) RAM.
If you want to run Lion, remember that the discussions in this forum from last summer when Lion first came out (and since) were highly charged at times. Certain features that vanished or were added caused great heartache for some. Others love Lion, though. And some live with the changes waiting for any fixes they would desire.
Any PPC (PowerPC) applications you depend upon will not work under Lion. Use this page to see what applications will not run: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
AND
Recall that you can clone your SL to an external disk to keep it safe. Then you can "experiment with" the new OSX (Lion or ML) until you know it works for you while still having your old SL safe in case you need it.
Good luck.

Not sure about upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard, Sugguest??

I am thinking about upgrade from 10.5 to Snow leopard, but afraid anything would go wrong, which I can't afford that. Beside my leopard runs perfectly fine now. The only reason I am thinking about Snow leopard is I wants to install Win7 through BootCamp to open up some application only available in Windows.
There are so many problems from what I read so far for upgrading. I am just wondering if the benefits is more than the troubles?
Here is what I am scared of:
1. lose the programs/applications I have on leopard.
2. lose the files, program setting I have.
3. SL create crazy problem that I cannot solve.
Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Here is what I am scared of:
1. lose the programs/applications I have on leopard.
Shouldn't happen, but if anything goes wrong you could lose everything. You need to be prepared with installers and serial numbers with all your applications. This is not specific to this situation, you need that at all times. Your hard drive could decide to die tomorrow, and then where would you be?
2. lose the files, program setting I have.
See my answer to #1. You must have backups for any data files you aren't willing to lose. If you don't have backups, that should now be your new highest priority in life if you value your data. See my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups>.
3. SL create crazy problem that I cannot solve.
Make sure your computer meets [Snow Leopard system requirements|http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html], and make sure your software is compatible:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
You should also check any hardware, like printers, scanners, etc, to be sure that there are SL-compatible drivers. Also, it should go without saying that you should [repair the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417] before any system install or update, though many people don't actually know that, so it must be said. If your system isn't problem-free, don't consider any system updates or upgrades until the problems are solved.

How to tell if Yosemite is clean install or upgrade from previous version

My brand new MacBook Pro arrived last week, with Yosemite already installed on it.
Having issues with WiFi (after coming out of sleep mode, mbp keeps its self-assigned address rather than getting an address though DHCP or using its old address), I was searching for support on the matter, and one of the solutions often suggested was doing a clean install of Yosemite if the mbp was upgraded from 10.9.
Seeing that the mbp arrived with Yosemite pre-installed, I'm guessing that it is a clean install, but I'm not sure.
I wonder if there is a way in telling if the OS was upgraded to the current major version, or if it's a clean install? Even if Apple only ships clean installs, it would be helpful to know if I need to give support to one of the mac-users in our company if it's a clean install or not.

On my system, the Yosemite upgrade (performed on Oct. 23) left quite a bit of residue that would not be present after a clean install. The most obvious examples are in /var/db/receipts, which contains BOM files for all of the software installed via the Mac OS installer, e.g.,
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel     98584 Oct 20 08:49 com.apple.pkg.update.lion.appstore.155-2.bom
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel       563 Oct 20 08:49 com.apple.pkg.update.lion.appstore.155-2.plist
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel     81657 Sep 29 17:13 com.apple.pkg.update.os.bash.lion.1.0.163-3.bom
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel       279 Sep 29 17:13 com.apple.pkg.update.os.bash.lion.1.0.163-3.plist
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel     80653 Aug 12 13:34 com.apple.pkg.EPSON_USBPrintClassSL.bom

CUE Upgrade from 8.6.1 to 8.6.7 version

Hi,
I am currenty running CUE (NME-CUE) version 8.6.1 on router 2851, I want to upgrade to version 8.6.7 (provide support CUCM 9.1).
can somebody tell me In what case is used command "software install clean" and in what case is used command "software install upgrade"?
Apprecaite your help.
Best regards,
Tan

Hi Tan,
can somebody tell me In what case is used command "software install clean" and in what case is used command "software install upgrade"?
A "software install clean" is used when you would need to do a fresh install, while the
"software install upgrade" would be used for upgrading from 8.6.1 to 8.6.7
As per document and command reference:
Several processes are available for upgrading Cisco Unity Express software. Choosing a process depends on the type of upgrade required.
•Upgrade installation—Upgrade using the online installer with the software install upgrade command. This process is available for upgrading from the previous software release to the current one, such as upgrading from 2.1.3 to 2.2.
Using this process, the system remains operational while the new software files are downloaded in the background. Only an FTP server is required. See "Upgrading the Previous Software Image" for more details.
•Clean installation—Upgrade using the online installer with the software install clean command. This installation process is available for upgrading licenses and for upgrading software releases later than 2.0 to the current one.
Using this process, the system remains operational while the new software files are downloaded in the background. For a new license, you must back up and restore configuration files; for a new software image, you must back up and restore both configuration and data files. Only an FTP server is required. See "Upgrading to a New License" or "Installing a New Software Image" for more details.
•Clean installation with the boot helper—Upgrade using the boot helper with the software install clean command. This clean installation process is available for upgrading licenses, upgrading software releases prior to 2.0.1 to the current release, and when the other upgrade processes are unsuccessful.
Using this process, the system must be offline while the new software files are downloaded. This installation erases and repartitions the disk before loading the new files on the disk. You must back up and restore your configuration and data files. Both an FTP and a TFTP server are required. See "Installing a Software Image Using Boot Helper".
Kindly rate the post accordingly.
Regards,
Kevin

Upgraded from SL to ML apps still on SL version

After upgrading from SL 10.6.8 to ML 10.8.4, many of the apps and utilities are inaccessible. Disk utility, activity monitor, messages, calendar, address book, dictionary, mail, QuickTime, and so on have a grey circle with a back slash over them. Some apps do work about 12 are in the condition described. When I click on an app with a grey circle and slash a message pops up stating that this version of the app can't be used with this version of OSX. Have a time machine backup so rollback to SL is possible. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You don't need to go back to Snow Leopard but you have to reinstall Mountain Lion. To do this, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting and follow the steps to reinstall Mountain Lion.
Lion and Mountain Lion include OS X Recovery to reinstall Mac OS X and do other operations. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 You won't lose anything after reinstalling Mountain Lion
