Any way to migrate from one 10.5 server to another?

Hi,
I just lost a 10.5 Server installation, it just won't boot anymore. Since no one seems to be able to help with that problem, I needed to move on and install fresh. However, the old installation took considerable work. I would hate to have to do it all over again. So the question is: is there a migration assistant or something similar to migrate one OSX Leopard Server installation to another machine / hard drive?
Cheers.
PS: I tried carbon copy cloner, the cloned instance won't boot up either. I guess some files have been corrupted.

Yes, you can.
Open: System Preferences > Hardware > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse, select menu for the side
buttons, turn it off or select another use for the side buttons.
It takes a little practice, but you can train yourself not to be pressing the side buttons inadvertently.
That's the other option.
To still use expose, you can use the keyboard. I have expose assigned to F10. Those settings can be
adjusted using System Prefs as well.

Move WIKI data from one Mountain Lion Server to another

Hi.
I followed the instruction here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5585
Under Copying all wikis from one OS X server to another OS X server, I am not even able to execute:
sudo pg_dump --format=c --compress=9 --blobs --username=collab --file=/tmp/collab.pgdump collab
It gives this error:
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "collab" failed: FATAL: role "collab" does not exist
Any idea?
I just tested it on the productive server as well as a brand new install. Same outcome.
which then I moved the: /Library/Server/Wiki/FileData over but even stop/start, restart, wiki server is running but not able to load content, it's like it's been wiped clean.

Hello Matthew
You're looking in the wrong spot
First things first - make yourself default sudo with sudo -s then you can forget prefixing it all the time.
If you just use pg_dump then it'll take the command from the /var-Directory - that's the wrong version
You have to specify the path for the Socket where the PSQL-Database for the wiki really is located by using the -h-option - it's not the default
that's why you get the error that role collab does not exist since you're connecting to a database in place where the role collab truy isn't part of it.
So - if you'd like to export the wiki-DB us the following and adapt the filename to what you like it to be.
bash-3.2# /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/pg_dump -h "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket/" -p 5432 -f /Volumes/USBSTICK/wikidatabase.pgdump -U collab collab
The first block specifies the "not default" pg_dump you'd like to use
The second block (-h "/Library/.....) tells pg_dump where to find the DB
The third block tells pg_dump to use port 5432
The fourth block (-f /Volumes/......) tells pg_dump to place its output into this file
The fifth block (-U collab) tells pg_dump to do this is role collab
The sixth block tells pg_dump from with DB to dump from
In your case extend my provided command with your options --format=c --compress=9 --blobs like this:
bash-3.2# /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/pg_dump -h "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket/" -p 5432 -F c --compress=9 -b -f /Volumes/USBSTICK/wikidatabase.pgdump -U collab collab
BTW- you can connect to the database, of course:
bash-3.2# psql -h "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket/" -p 5432 collab collab

Any way of importing from Access to SQL Server?

I have a huge store of information in Access. But now I'm required to use SQL Server.
Is there any way of importing the information from Access to SQL Server by Java programming?
Or is there a manual way of doing that?
Thank you in advance.

I need to use Java because this is for a client. I
can't expect the client to follow those steps. As a
result, I want to create something simple for the
client to convert from Access to SQL Server.
Any other way of doing that?
That argument does not make sense.
There is no way that a 'client' is going to be able to manage MS SQL Server without understanding how it works. MS SQL Server is a complex database and requires at least some dedicated support, even if it is only part time.
For example consider the following:
-MS Access does not have a log file. MS SQL Server does. How is the log file going to be sized?
-If the log file fills up (like for a run away query) MS SQL Server comes to a screeching halt. How is that problem going to be fixed?
Now maybe you are going to provide that support, which means you can run those scripts. Or the client is going to support it in which case they need to have someone who understands it - and they will need to know how to run those scripts (since it is rather basic knowledge.)

Copy reports from one business objects server to another

How do I copy all the reports published in my production BO server to my test server. I did this once but can not remember. Is it the import wizzard?

yes you can use the import wizard to export your reports from one server to another server
just open the import wizard, connect to your source server, choose object types you want to export (folders, reports, users,,,,etc),,, then choose the objects itself, then connect to the destination server, and the import wizard will guide you through this process.
good luck

Export from one oracle datasbase server to another for version: 9.2.0.1.0

Hi All,
I know this is an elementory thread , however i would like to know the process of import and export of database in detail.
I need to copy the entire database from a existing prodcution server having oracle 9.2 as its version to another server with same oracle version .
Kindly mention the process to be carried out .
Thanx in advance

I need to copy the entire database from a existing prodcution server having oracle 9.2 as its version to another server with same oracle version .Its better to take a hotbackup/coldbackup or RMAN backup depending on the environment. Exp/Imp will be time consuming.
For exp/imp;
http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Import_Export_FAQ
For full export-import, you need to do is take an exp backup from source DB. Create same tablespace that of source DB and import from the dump file.
exp system/manager full=y buffer=100000 feedback=10000 recordlength=64000
imp system/manager full=y buffer=100000 feedback=10000 recordlength=64000

Migrating wiki from one 10.6 server to another

Has anyone had any success and know the proper procedure for moving a wiki between two 10.6 servers? We're relocating it to different hardware. When I move the data store it does the "starting server" thing forever when you try to visit the web page. It doesn't look like python or wikid is doing much of anything after the first few seconds. When I delete the various .db sql lite databases as suggested for fixing other issues, they do get recreated but it still never fully starts.
The permissions are also correct on all the files so I know it is not that. Also, I did the migration using rsync3 and made sure it preserved proper permissions, extended attributes, etc.
I'm probably missing something but was wondering if anybody has done it. Thanks.

Migrating current mobile user accounts from one OS X Server to another

I have not been able to find ANY answers to my situlaton.
I have a small office that currently has a Mac Server 10.4.11 server running that has many "mobile user" accounts setup. This was done because we have so many mobile users coming in and out of the office. When the user comes back they sync their home directory witht th server here. Works great.
We recently purchased a new Mac Server running 10.7.4. Set it up as the Open Directory Master. I unbind from the old server and bind to the new server. Everything seems to be working just fine except when I go and add a current mobile user to the new server it creates a new user account on the client device (MacBooks) as if the previous user settings didn't exsist. Since they need to be mobile users and not just network users I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem any where.
Is there a way on the client to tell it to use the old user account stored on the MacBook to use with new mobile user connected to the new server?
Or is there an easier way of doing this that I don't know about?
Thanks,
TK

If I understand what you wrote, no. The reason is this. If memory serves... In 10.4.11 accounts were assigned a UID. In 10.7.x, accounts are assigned a UID and a GUID. Most everything relies on the GUID at this point. So, what you have is an account named marysue on the workstation and it is assigned a UID like 1045. Now you created marysue on the Lion server, but you likely did not recreate the UID to match the old server. And thus, the UID value is different but more importantly you now have a GUID value like EC0F9357-8EF2-4D3B-B6F3-2E3016400114, that is associated with the account. So, the user, despite having the same shortname, is different.
In addition, you are working with two different directory systems. 10.4 still used NetInfo (ah, I miss you so). 10.5 and above use DS local flat files, even when bound to an LDAP system.
So, probably the easiest way to do this, provided I understand what you are seeing is the following. Let's assume the following:
You have a mobile account on a workstation for the user maryjoe with a UID of 1034 that came from the 10.4.11 system. You have this account cached. You have a home folder in /Users/maryjoe. You have now bound to the new server which contains a user named maryjoe likely with a UID of something other than 1034 and with a GUID value that likely did not exist in the old directory system, also with the shortname of maryjoe and a home path of /Users/maryjoe.
So when you log in, you are likely being pathed to /Users/maryjoe, but you are seeing a default Dock and no documents because of permissions. My guess is that if you used Terminal to view the Users directory you would see something like this (open Terminal and issue the command ls -l /Users/:
drwxrwxrwt   4 root       wheel 136 Apr 18 21:35 Shared
drwxr-xr-x+ 14 locadmin staff 476 Jan 21 7:42 locadmin
drwxr-xr-x+ 14 1034 staff 476 Mar 21 10:42 maryjoe
Note the folder maryjoe is not owned by maryjoe, it is owned by the UID of maryjoe from the old server.
Ok, so long story short (sorry for the log explanation, especially if you are experiencing something else that I did not get from the post), all you need to do is update the permissions of the home folder. Do this:
1: Log in as the local admin
2: Open Terminal
3: Issue this command:
     sudo chown -R maryjoe /Users/maryjoe
Even with a lot of data in the home folder, this should not take more than a few minutes to complete.
When the command completes, run this command again: ls -l /Users/
You should now see
drwxrwxrwt   4 root       wheel 136 Apr 18 21:35 Shared
drwxr-xr-x+ 14 locadmin staff 476 Jan 21 7:42 locadmin
drwxr-xr-x+ 14 maryjoe staff 476 Mar 21 10:42 maryjoe
Now try logging in as the user. With a little luck I divined the issue and this will have you up and running. Now, I normally will also purge the cached account in /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/ but that might be a bit daunting. So let's start with the simple process first of ensuring home folder permissions are correct.

What components of VM are lost after its migration from one physical host to another?

Hi, I found this post very helpful for me, it is very easy to understand about the live VM migration. I have a confusion regarding VM migration that if any
VM is migrated from one physical host to another what components of VM (vCPU, vBIOS, vRAM, vHD, vNIC, OS, Apps) will be changed?
Kindly help me to understand that:
1.Will Operating System running on VM be changed? 2. Will BIOS and Boot Loader information be changed?
Thanks Looking forward for your response.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing. We're talking about "live-migration" not VM conversion from one hypervisor to another, like a VM from VMWare or XenServer to a VM on Hyper-V, right?
As mentioned above, when a VM is
live-migrated from one Hyper-V host to another, nothing changes. Bios does not change. A
Gen1 VM with traditional BIOS firmware will not turn into a Gen2 machine with UEFI firmware for example.
Boot loader will not change when a VM is live-migrated from one Hyper-V host to another.
MAC address on VM NICs will change when a VM is live-migrated from one Hyper-V host to another, unless the VM NIC is configured with a static MAC address. A Changed MAC address will be interpreted by the VM as a new NIC, which will lose its old IP settings.
Stopping and restarting a VM on the same Hyper-V host changes nothing about the VM synthetic hardware such as NICs, BIOS firmware, or its internal startup files like boot loader.
Stopping a VM, and restarting it on another Hyper-V host changes nothing except the VM NIC's MAC address if it is configured to have a dynamic MAC address as described above.

Can I choose what to migrate from one mac (Powrebook G4) to another mac (New iMac)? I do not want everything to be migrated, as some programs are not compatible with Mountain Lion or an intelIntel mac!
As it is a brand New iMac I would also like to keep it clean of unnecessary files that have become imbedded in the Powerbook over its time.Therfore it would be nice if I can pick and choose what is to be transferd. If you can give me a heads up on if and how it would be appreciated!!!

Thanks for your input!… I have now come across an Article from Apple
Migration Assistant tips and tricks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3231?viewlocale=en_US
Controlling what is migrated
With Migration Assistant you control the data that is migrated from another Macintosh computer. By clicking the triangle next to a user's name, you can select which User Accounts to migrate and choose which folders to migrate. You can also choose whether to migrate Applications, Network and Computer settings, or Volumes. Migrating only what you need can reduce the time it takes to complete your migration.

Any way to migrates Notes from one iPhone to another

Is there any way to migrates Notes from one iPhone to another without backup restore?

HI Amir,
Checkboxes evaluate as TRUE when checked, FALSE when empty.
For your example:
C1: =IF(B1,A1,"")
Works with text (as shown), numbers, or the results of formulas in the source cells.
The last argument, "" inserts a null string in the cell containing the formula, making the cell appear 'blank'.

Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?

Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?
I have a catalog with 7000 images we have to process / crop / etc. and I was trying to find a way that two of us could work on the images at the same time.
Thanks!

No, the LR catalog is not multi user capable (and cannot reside on a network share without tricks). What you could do is
export part of the catalog (a subset of all images) into a separate catalog ("Export as Catalog", without exporting the negatives)
work on different images in the two catalogs at the same time
re-import ("Import from Catalog") the exported work after adjustments on it is finished

If you have Time Machine and it ran after the backup you want and before the current backup you can restore it from the Time Machine backup.

Setups migration from one instance to another

Can any one please tell me how to migrate AME (Oracle Approval Management) setups and GL Setups?
We are using AME.B.(11.5.10.2). There will be quite a few of these setups required, and migrating by hand in all the eBS instances will be difficult.
Is there any other way (API/other tools) to achieve this? Can we use FNDLOAD?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Anugrah,
Unfortunately there isn't a facility to allow a customer iStore site to migrate from one environment to another (e.g. Test to Productions) easily. Currently the staging and migration of iStore environments are done manually, and some installations have utilized their own change control systems and adopted their own naming conventions for JSP customization and iStore content to make the environment promotion process more managable.
With that said, there are concurrent programs that allow customers to perform site administration around migrating template mappings between instances (import and export). You can refer to the iStore Implementation & Admin. Guide under the iStore Template Mapping Import / Export Concurrent Programs.

Bob
