ACS Upgrade in live network ok?

I am about to upgrade our CiscoSecure ACS from 4.1 to 4.2. If I do so on a live network, can that affect anything within my network?
I would hate to bring down an entire network and upset about 3000 users.
Thanks in advance!

That will prevent that particular ACS to authenticate new users for the time of the upgrade ...
Existing users won't be kicked out unless you configured a very frequent reauthentication timer.
If you have more than one ACS then the other should be there to take the job

Create a TAC case and request Special File Access. If you are entitled they will post the files and send you an email with the URL where you can download the new software. Then simply follow the documented upgrade instructions.

ACS upgrade from 4.2.1.15 to ACS5.6

HI
We have bought new ACS5.6 SNS3415 Boxes , earlier we have ACS4.2.1.15 , now we want to migrate the data from old ACS to new ACS.
We have downloaded the ACS and trying to install 4.2.1.15 but getting the error
" ACS4.2.115 can only be installed on top of base version"
So we have installed the eval-ACS-4.2.0.124-SW successfully. And now we are trying to install the 4.2.1.15 but we are getting eth below error
" 4.2.1.5 can not be installed on EVAL version"
How can we resolve this so that we can migrate the data to ACS5.6 via migration utility.

ACS upgrade from 4.0.x to 4.1.x "Appliance upgrade in progress"

Hello friends,
We are in the process of upgrading ACS 4.0 to 4.1 in a SE appliance 1113.
We followed very carefuly the steps, and upgraded de Appliance management ACS 4.1. The second upgrade (Software for appliance 4.1) keeps showing "Appliance upgrade in progress..." (near 2 hours by now). I know that it can stick even finishing, but it seems it has not finished because we can not log in with the GUI Administrator account like we did when upgrading the management software (previous step).
Is this normal? what can be missing?, I attach the console text output below (IP adds obscured).
Note the management upgrade went fine.
Thanks.

Appliance upgrade in progress...

Thanks Jagdeep, but the upgrade has not finished.
The documentation mentions (please read it carefully):
"IF YOU COMPLETE THE UPGRADE and the ACS console displays the message Appliance upgrade in progress, this indicates that the upgrade PROGRESS is hanging.
If this condition occurs, start an ACS console session and enter the command download [hostAddress], where hostAddress can be any IP address. This action releases the ACS console from the upgrade process."
What worries me is that it has not finished.
As I said in my post, we can not log in :( (the GUI gets blocked during the upgrade).
I appreciate the help. Many Thanks.

74 upgrade: query properties field: Operation in BWA/HANA

Dear all,
once we upgraded to BW 74 SP09 we experience some issues regarding query properties. In particular some queries are not having same value of field "Operation in BWA/HANA = RSRREPDIR-TREXOPS".
The value of the field in RSRT is different comparing to table. As example query has setting set to "6=exception aggregation (default)" however the corresponding field in the table is blank. My consumption was that all the queries after the upgrade should be set to value "2=Individual access per IProv".
I expected this as per SAP Note "1790426 - Processing MultiProviders in BWA" which saying about official SAP recommendation value of the field.
My questions:
1. Anyone experiencing same inconsistency between table and RSRT value?
2. What is than really recommended value? E.g. in BW74 SP09 the option 6 has a word "default" in brackets.. but above mentioned Note says differently...
PS: our BWA version is 7.20.32.00
Thanks,
martin

ACS Upgrade 4.1

We are in process on migrating over to an ACS appliance 4.1. I have downloaded updates and have launched the autorun.bat file. After running the update to 4.1.3.12 CSAdmin fails to start. Tried starting it manually via serial port, but no luck. The previous version was 4.1.1.23
any assistance would be appreciated

Hi
Its nothing known that I know about on CSAdmin stopping after upgrading. I hope you have a database backup from ACS 4.1.1.23 version?
Try to give it a reboot.
And I hope you applied management Upgrade first and then software upgrade?

N79 firmware upgrade query.

Hi. I'm probably one of the few who have this troublesome phone, and, not wanting to brag, I'm on my 2nd one which is working absolutely fine with no problems at all!
My query is though, should I upgrade to the V.20 firmware when it becomes availiable or keep things as they are?
I only ask because it seems that many who upgraded to v.20 have been plagued with new minor issues which I'd like to avoid if poss.
Be greatful for any thoughts on the matter.

If you are happy with your phone the way it is then that is a good reason not to rock the boat. Firmware update is risky business.
Updates usually only contain bug fixes and sometimes a new feature or two. They sometimes also remove features. What you could do is to check the Changelog for the update andsee if there are any bug fixes or new features in the update that will make a difference to you. Changelogs are not published by Nokia but usually available on other sites so just google for it.
However, if you are like me and have to have the latest of everything then update with your fingers crossed.

Technical Upgrade Query Issue .

Dear ,
We are updating our system from ECC4.7 to ECC 6.0 .
I come across the issue that Queries are not updated in system .
Some of the queries I have resolved by going in transaction SQ01 simply by acivating it and execute but in some of the
objects query name does not exist in old system but report execute there .
In new system 6.0 this not even executing . What the problem that not able to identified .
For example :
Query is this : AQFKSYSTQV000015ZPODET========
Query name is : ZPODET
This is not exist in both the system but its running fine in old system .
Please suggest any solution for this if u have any .

Hi,
This is the most common issue faced during the Upgrades.
1) First go to SE37 and execute the FM: RSAQ_GENERATE_PROGRAM by entering the Query name and the User group.
2) You can get the link for SAP Query and User groups from the table AQLQCAT(local areas) and AQGQCAT(global areas)
3) Finally after the query is generated, you will get the program name as output of the FM.
4) Check this program exists in SE38.
If you want to generate more queries try writing a simple report using the above logic....
OR Simply go to SQ01 and try to generate each query from the menu->Query>More Functions->Generate Program
The same process needs to be done in all the systems(old/new/dev/quality/prod systems)
For your help, AQFKSYSTQV000015ZPODET======== the name of query and user group can be determined as:
First 4 char : system specific
Next 12 Char : User Group
Next 12 Char : Query name.
Wherever names are less than 12 chars then the = are added.
Hope this helps

CSM and ACS upgrade

1. Cisco ACS /Solution Engine I think, the dedicated appliance, unknown version)
2. Cisco Security Manager 3.1
Are upgrades possible, or purchase of lastest version of the product is the only way out?
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?
Your response will be appreciated.

The ACS appliance has been released with at least three different major releases - 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x. If you have ACS 4.2 on an 1120 appliance, you can upgrade to the latest (5.3) on the same hardware. Anything else will require a new appliance (or use a VM solution).
Please refer to the ordering guide and the migration guide for this information.
For CSM, to upgrade you would need to go to 3.3. first and then to the current (4.2) CSM release. The necessary licenses are described in this product bulletin.
It would probably be easier and cleaner to just build a new installation in both cases. Both products' architecture and db schema have changed significantly. The upgrade SKUs will probably save you some in licensing costs although both products have undergone changes in how they are licensed.
Note that CSM will be coming out with a new version 4.3 later this spring.

Upgrade Query from 2.2.1 to 3.0.1

Hi,
We just upgraded to Apex 3.0.1 from Version 2.2.1 and all appears to be functioning correctly but I just have a query regarding the following error during the upgrade, i.e.:
select UPGRADE_ERROR from flows_030000.WWV_FLOW_UPGRADE_PROGRESS where UPGRADE_ERROR is not null;
UPGRADE_ERROR
ORA-02298: cannot validate (FLOWS_030000.WWV_FLOW_COLLECTION_FK) - parent keys not foundIs this something that we need to be concerned about - if so, is there a fix for it?
FYI - in addition to the above, our DBA tracked down that the constraint is actually DISABLED ?
Thanks.
Tony.

Hello,
I believe your query has a couple of syntax errors in the concatenation (no space between the case's end and the column alias + a strange concat at the end: "x.NAME ||;") - not sure they were not found by Apex v3 compiler or some characters were mistakenly missed/added in the migration to Apex v4.
Try:
DECLARE
vSQL VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
vSQL := 'select vehicle_sn';
FOR x IN (SELECT ID, NAME FROM PARTS ORDER BY NAME)
LOOP
vSQL := vSQL || ', CASE WHEN ID = ' || x.ID || ' THEN INSTALL_STATUS ELSE ''-'' END '|| x.NAME;
END LOOP;
vSQL := vSQL || ' FROM VEHICLES ';
RETURN vSQL;
END;Let me know if that helps.

R/3 4.7 Unicode upgrade query

Dear All,
I have a very specific and unique query. We are implementing ESS, MSS, MBO for our clients, and in the process have upgraded the production servers to R/3 4.7 version ( Non - Unicode ). We're using EP 6.0 as the front for the same .
My question is as below :
Today the client is not interested in having interface other than english, but moving down the line after 2 years he would like to have a Korean language interface, which might require R/3 4.7 with Koran language unicode and functions converted.
What I want to know is whether this effort in upgrading to the unicode version of Korean on R/3 , before we actually implement ESS / MSS etc is better or should we upgrade to a unicode version 2 years later ?
In either case what are the advantages and disadvantages ?
Expert insight sought,
Regards,
Neeraj S.

Hi Neeraj,
Personally, I would recommend upgrading to Unicode now.
With your client there already appear to be signs that a non-unicode format is unsuitable for the longer term vision of the company...
What if this long term vision becomes a more immediate requirement and they no longer want to wait 2 years?
Additionally upgrading to unicode would mean that all custom programs would have to be made unicode compliant. This is a Particularly arduous problem if there is any hexa-decimal manipulation within the custom programs...
Within a Unicode system all programs are automatically made Unicode compliant (as long as the appropriate flag is checked in the program attributes)...
Therefore, if you can implement Unicode now then I would go for it
I hope this helps.

Cisco ACS upgrade

Hello,
is it possible to upgrade from ACS v.3.3 directly to 5.2 ? Or do I need version 4.X in between?
Thanks for your help.

You can't upgrade ACS 3.3 directly to ACS 5.2.
ACS 5.x is completely different to ACS 3.x and 4.x.
There is specific hardware that you need to run ACS version 5.x, and here is the list:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.2/release/notes/acs_52_rn.html#wp70853
Here is the migration guide to ACS 5.x:

Hope that helps.

ACS upgrade to 5.5 Patch

Hi All,
According to Cisco there is a need to install Patch: Pointed-PreUpgrade-CSCum04132-5-4-0-46-0a.tar.gpg before upgrading to 5.5. Our current system running 5.4 has the latest patch 5-5-0-46-1.tar.gpg already installed.
I am aware that the patches are cummulative and if we install the latest it covers all the below patches. but the readme did not specify the Bud ID
CSCum04132. Can please advice do I need to install patch Pointed-PreUpgrade-CSCum04132-5-4-0-46-0a.tar.gpg before upgrade?

To reduce the ACS database size by removing unused disk space from within ACS database file use the database-compress command in the ACS Configuration mode. This command has the option to truncate ACS transaction history.
This command does not erase or modify any information during the database compression except for the transaction history if the truncate flag is used.
When you run this command, ACS is stopped and the process of compressing ACS database is executed and ACS starts automatically after the process is over.
The progress of the command execution is logged in the ADE.log file.
database-compress [truncate_log]
