Backup/restore repository and catalog

documentation states that runcat.cmd can be used to put BI into maintenance mode and then xcopy the repository and catalog to back them up..
I have done this..
but If I want to recover from those files,
the best way I have found is:
use runcat.cmd again to put it in maintenance mode and xcopy the catalog back replacing the current files?
use Enterprise Manager - BI - Core - Deployment - Repository - lock - browse to the backup rpd - apply - activate - restart
is there a command prompt way of restoring the repository?

I'm not sure what you are asking...

OBIEE Repository and Catalog Upgrade(11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.7)

Hi,
I see a lot of documentation on upgrade but I just couldn't find this. I installed OBI 11.1.1.7 and trying to test it on our own repository and reports.
I want to upgrade OBI 11.1.1.5 repository and catalog to 11.1.1.7 and run those in my new installation. Is this possible?

Hi
I found this ...
the text shown, belongs to an oracle document
Link: Post-Patching Procedures - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
The text starts here...
->
5.12.2 Updating Oracle BI Presentation Catalogs
When updating your Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) software from Release 11.1.1.3.0, 11.1.1.5.0 or 11.1.1.6.x, you must manually update your Oracle BI Presentation Catalogs. Instructions are provided below:
Stop Oracle BI Presentation Services using Oracle Enterprise Manager.
For details, see "Using Fusion Middleware Control to Start and Stop Oracle Business Intelligence System Components and Java Components" in Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
Back up your Release 11.1.1.3.0, 11.1.1.5.0 or 11.1.1.6.x catalogs by using the 7-Zip utility to create a compressed file for it.
Create a backup copy of the instanceconfig.xml file.
The instanceconfig.xml file is located in the ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obipsn (on UNIX operating systems) or ORACLE_INSTANCE\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obipsn (on Windows operating systems) directory.
Change the upgradeAndExit option to true in the instanceconfig.xml file.
Find the following code:
<Catalog>
<UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit>
</Catalog>
Change it to the following:
<Catalog>
<UpgradeAndExit>true</UpgradeAndExit>
</Catalog>
Start Oracle BI Presentation Services using the following OPMN command to update the catalogs:
opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obipsn
For example, on a UNIX operating system:
cd ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin
./opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1
On a Windows operating system:
cd ORACLE_INSTANCE\bin
opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1
After the catalogs are updated, edit the instanceconfig.xml file again and change the upgradeAndExit option back to false.
Restart Oracle BI Presentation Services using Fusion Middleware Control.
->
Ends here...
In my opinion, is the same answer, as Seth mentioned

Cloud backup restored photos and documnets to the wrong folder and all in one folder

I used the cloud backup to backup and restore my photos and documents because I was told to fix my problem I would have to do a hard reset. When I restored the photos and documents they were all restored to the wrong place and all in one folder. Please help. Is there any way to fix this or is their cloud backup program just stupid and I am screwed?

Kallyone,
Let's get to the bottom of this and get your pictures and documents backed up correctly. What phone do you have? Did you restore every all at once? Try removing the files and doing the restore again. Did you do the restore from the phone or desktop app?

Access denied to a folder; running as Administrator with backup, restore, takeown, and security privileges

I am running as an Administrator with SE_BACKUP_NAME, SE_RESTORE_NAME, SE_TAKE_OWNERSHIP_NAME, and SE_SECURITY_NAME enabled on my application. My group information is listed below. The item's path and ACL are
C:\tests\test_acl_null\src\1d: O:BGG:SYD:P
where the owner is Built-in Guests, group is Local System, the DACL prevents inheritance, and the DACL itself is empty.
I would expect that since I have the four above privileges enabled successfully, I would have access to the item regardless of its security descriptor. Why is this not the case?

Thank you for your information, Frank, as it clarifies part of my confusion. However, there are a couple more loose ends I'd love to address before I mark your responses as answers.
Do backup and restore privileges apply at all over a network mount created via "net use"?
The network mount requires a username and password for the destination machine. Assuming the destination machine is a Windows box with a simple CIFS share, how does this user affect our permissions and access? Do we end up effectively impersonating this
user, or is the access check still done with our sync process's run-as user?
We require that both our configured run-as user for our sync process *and* the credentials passed to the network mount be administrator users of the local system and destination system, respectively, meaning they're in of the "BUILTIN\Administrators,
S-1-5-32-544" group.
On re-syncs, the destination file will exist and since we don't have the ability to read the ACL in all cases (we're running as one user, the file is owned by another user, and we aren't specified in the ACL in any way), we aren't able to determine if the
file has changed. Is it possible to determine the owner of this file in this case? Preferably, we'd obtain the entire SDDL.
My proposed plan is to interpret access denied as a difference requiring re-sync, resulting in us taking ownership of the file, granting ourselves access, determining if there are data differences, and then re-syncing the metadata as appropriate.

Restore photos and catalog together on new computer?

I recently had a computer crash and want to migrate my photos and changes from my old hard drive into my newly installed Lightroom software on the new computer. I recovered the old drive, and accessed it from my new computer. I found the most recent Lightroom catalog and imported it. Then I imported all of my photos into Lightroom. The problem is that the catalog and the photos don't seem to be talking to each other. In the catalog, the photos are there all bunched together, no folders separating by date. In the photo folders that ARE separated by date, the original photos are there as they were first imported (RAW files), but don't have the develop changes that I made to them. How can I get these two things to link up?

I think the easiest thing to do is to follow these instructions from scratch, rather than trying to fix what you have already done

Backup/restore using RMAN with no catalog

Hi all,
Can someone tell me if this is correct:
I have two identical machines, same configuration and same file structure, everything is the same.
On machine A, I have a 9.2.0.7 database running. I take a hot backup and try to restore it on machine B.
Note: I am using RMAN for backup/restore whith no catalog.
This is how I perform backup on machine A:
ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 TYPE DISK;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 CUMULATIVE format '/backup/level0_%u' BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE format '/backup/control_primary' FORCE;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL format '/backup/archivelogs_%s_%t';
On machine B, here is how I perform restore:
SET DBID 1221334455;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/backup/control_primary';
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
RESTORE DATABASE VALIDATE;
RESTORE DATABASE;
Recover database;
Thanks,

You forgot to restore the spfile or pfile on the second node to go to nomount state.
OR
You can use RMAN Duplicate to do this.

How do I move the tags and catalogs from old Photoshop Elements on old computer to new computer?

I am trying to move my Photoshop Elements information to a new computer. I have gotten the software installed, and the picture files moved over, but the tags and catalogs are not showing up on the new computer. From looking online, it looks like there is a way to attach that information to the files on the old computer before transferring them over. Ugh! Hindsight! Having already transferred over 35,000 jpg files to my new computer, is there any other way to move that information over without deleting all those files on my new computer and starting from scratch?

Even if you have the same folder structure, the organizer will find that the internal serial number of the drive is different and show all files as missing; you'll need to reconnect. That's why the backup and restore method is better. It also recognizes the need to upgrade (convert) the catalog format to the new version of Elements.
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later

Homegneous System copy Specific DB method Oracle Backup/Restore Sapinst

Hello colleagues,
Following the documentation, I´ve one doubt about the above method, is it needed to install again the SCS instance when the system is installed in one host and we want just to refresh database.
I mean, we want to refresh CRM quality system from Production system. It´s a ABAP+JAVA system, so i have to prepare a backup and export Central instance through sapinst in source system.
Afterwards it´s needed to follow the three steps in sapinst, Install SCS instance, Install database instance and install central instance (database copy section) . Or as we´ve already installed our quality CRM system, it´s just enough with installing database instance and central instance (using backup/restore method and exported data from source system)
Thanks a lot for this info because in the SAP guides it´s not clear from my point of view.
Regards

Well i didnot get your question properly, but as per my understanding if you have only ABAP instance installed then you can go with the Database resoration method but as you said ABAP+JAVA instance both are there so in that case you need to build the export of complete system through Sapinst and then you cn perform the same export file to install the target system which will be your Quality.
Another option is that just restore the database via database restoration method then try to restore the JAVA stack by file system method which is i think not supported by SAP if i am not wrong but it can be done i tired the same on XI system.

Help Desperately Needed to restore Photoshop 10 catalog to Windows 8 computer and PSE 11

I am trying to backup my Photoshop Elements 10 catalog from my old computer running Windows 7 and restore to my new computer running Windows 8 and Photoshop Elements 11. I reconnected missing files, optimized and repaired the catalog, then repaired and re-indexed visual similarity date. I backed up to the hard drive on the old computer, copied the files to the external hard drive, copies the files from the external hard drive to the desktop of the new computer. From there I opened PSE 11 organizer and tried to restore. When the restore is almost complete I get the following error: "error encountered while restoring. It's recommended that you contact the disc drive manufacturer and upgrade to the latest available firmware for your specific disc drive before trying again.". I also had disabled the virus protection on both computers. I have contacted the external hard drive manufacturer and they are confident the problem is not with the external hard drive. I have spent countless hours on chat with Adobe Technical Chat. I have done everything that has been suggested to fix the problem and I still get the same error message. They referred me to their 800 number for paid technical support and I was on hold for a total of 4 1/2 hours and after being trransferred several times no one came back on the line to help. I have an open case with them and they still have not returned my calls. I even tried using the same backup catalog file and restored to another PC running Windows 7 (and Elements 10) and it worked. Why can't I restore the catalog to Windows 8? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Can't restore repository backup

Hi all !!
It's a Nightmare... I made a backup with RAU last week. We had some trouble with our repository, and after fix it, I tried to restore it with RAU. Import begins but It hangs after some time. Import never ends and users can't connect to the repository. I'm using Designer 6i Rel 4.8, Oracle 8.1.7 and Repository rel. 4.0.12.93.10. It had version support enabled. What Can I do ? Must Install Designer rel. 4.10 ?
Please help !!

This looks like you should contact Support who will be able to discuss your case with you in detail. Installing the latest release may not solve your problem, without having a great deal of information, I would suggest you re-establish the repository before you consider the upgrade.

I have a new SIM/service and want to transfer all my contacts from the current 4S to the new SIM in my old 3GS. I do NOT want to backup/restore the entire phone contents (iTunes or iCloud), JUST the contacts. How?

Current phone 4S with service from one provider. Also have a new SIM with another provider, and want to copy my contacts from the 4S across to my old 3GS which I will be using for a bit as an alternative. Definitely do not want anything except the contacts copied across so a full backup/restore is NOT what I'm after, and I can't see (in the iTunes backup) how to only do the contacts.

Sorry, my bungle - from what devices I am used to - these Apple things still have me confused at times.
The core requirement is the same - to get the contacts from the 4S onto the 3GS without backing up the whole device/apps etc.
And a second part of that is how to get the contacts onto a SIM for a device that DOES store them there. No doubt that will be a problem as it only has name/number combos, not all the fruit the iPhone keeps under a contact. Maybe it can't done. A simple export to CSV or something that could be edited would suffcie if there were an import tool to get it onto the SIM in the simpler format.

Windows Vista 64-bit and the Backup & Restore....

I've recently found out that Backup & Restore is not supported by Vista 64-bit. So, all the backups that did not complete and has the error message (0x8007002), all the backups are of no use. All of my documents, pictures, music, original
music materials, etc., are all gone. Can't even open the error-ed backups! Can my system be restore to it's original settings before the backup fiasco? I am at a lost to what can be done!
Sincerely (feeling hopeless)

Any way to restore iTunes and iPhoto libraries from failed Time Machine backup?

Is there a way to restore iTunes and iPhoto libraries from an unmountable Time Machine backup?
Background: I received an update alert on my iMac (mid-2010, 1TB) from Time Machine (wirelessly connected to a Time Capsule, 2TB 2013) that it required an update and required rebooting, of course, it happened when I was in the middle of a project and I postponed the restart for later. That evening I turned off the computer and coincidentally the next morning, the iMac would not start; it loaded to the Apple logo and about an 1/8 of the progress bar would load before the iMac would turn off.
The iMac had been fine to that day (OS upgrades and all since 2010) so I was assuming something misfired when I declined the Time Machine update. I tried the PRAM and SMC resets mentioned in the forums but no dice. I then went into Disk Utility to try repairs and there were errors on the hard drive that could not be fixed. My next step was to erase the drive and restore from my Time Machine backup. Before doing that I checked Disk Utility and to my horror, it told me that my Time Machine backups were unmountable so of course my first thought was that all my files were gone.
The TC was under warranty so I called support and they referred me to the local Genius Bar. The Genius was great and showed me that my files weren't lost even though the Time Machine backup was unmountable. They recommended I erase the partitions, starting from scratch and I would have to transfer the Time Machine backup files manually by directly connecting an ethernet cable from the TC to the computer. If that didn't work, the hard drive was bad and needed replacement which they could take care of.
I followed their recommendation and the hard drive is fine. I was so relieved to hear that my files were safe that I forgot to ask about all of the metadata that was lost in iTunes (de-selected songs, playlists, rankings, play counts) and iPhoto (geotags, names, etc). Any ideas / help? I sank considerable time into my music and photos and would love to have that time back.
FWIW, I'm in the process of buying an external hard drive as a secondary backup to the TC as my confidence is a little shaken on the product line - the first time I ever actually need a backup and the backup is unmountable. My whole point of spending a little more and buying into the Apple ecosystem for a backup solution was to streamline the backup process and avoid these types of issues.

Thank you for the reply. I tried the Disk Utility to repair my TC's Time Machine backup disk with no luck, it stopped with the message:
Disk utility stopped repairing "iMac"
Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
It took a night but I was able to copy all the TC Time Machine files to the external hard drive as a backup to a backup just in case. I'm still pretty bummed the TC's backup didn't allow for Disk Utility's restore functionality. Fortunately, the iPhoto library backup I dragged to the iMac from the Time Capsule backup worked without a hitch. On the downside, the "iTunes Library.itl" backup I dragged over is locked so now I'm checking out the forums for any ways to fix that. I temporarily created a new iTunes library with all my apps and music but plan on reverting to the old iTunes library if possible so I can start syncing my iOS devices again.

I sold my iPhone4, and I need to restore it before shipping it. The buyer has asked that I don't install iOS6. Is this possible? Does the restore process force iOS6 onto the phone? Before I backup/restore it, it has iOS5.1.1 installed.
