Benefits of upgrade from Projects 11.5.6 to 11.5.9

I'm trying to define the functional benefits for a client organisation of their impending Projects upgrade from 11.5.6 to 11.5.9. Can someone tell me the main benefits of this please?

Hi,
There is a lot of new functionality added in 11.5.9
That was not included in 11.5.6.
I can recall the following:
1. Bugetary Control
2. Customer Retention Billing
3. Receipt Accruals
4. Automatic expenditure batch reversal
5. There is a web enterface for projects.
6. You can run your project in any currency
7. You can run your budget and agreement in any currency
8. Changes in client extensions. (Transaction Control ect.)
9. Issue management
10. Change management (If you use plantype budgets)
If your client do not really need more functionality I would not recommend the upgrade. But most times they want more out of the system.
Is there any specific enhancement they requested?
Regards
Matthew

Hi,
Do you get and error when the command is executed or when you try to start the execution (the command is not valid)?
If you get the error when you try to start the execution, I would suggest re-typing the command and make sure all parameters are valid.
Please give us the error details if you get the error when the command is running

Useful Benefits of Upgrading From Windows 7 Pro to 10 Pro?

We'll for IT supporting business; for the most part Windows 7 is still far superior to Windows 8.x.Windows 10 will have to make good on the promise of better and more effective security features, getting the touch interface out of our faces and putting the start menu back in place.I've been using Win 10 for some time now and it does look promising, but there are still a lot of bugs in it; bugs that make using it far more hassle than it's worth. Even with all of the current problems, it's still slated to be released at the end of this month. 8.1; like Vista had only a few benefits, which were far overshadowed by it's many drawbacks which made businesses retain Windows XP and 7 by more than 85%. Ultimately, Microsoft still has a lot to prove to its weary customers, so let's hope they deliver this time, or else Windows 7 will follow in...

With our Windows 8.1 systems, the things I noticed as improvements over Windows 7 were:Faster shutdown without frequent hanging apps preventing and delaying PC shutdown and reboot.Better Windows Update experience.Better/faster file transfer/copy with much less issues of slow and failed file copies of large folders and long paths.Desktop search works better/faster.Hyper-V built into the OS can be useful for some people, but may need to be blocked to not facilitate rogue unmanaged VMs on the network.Bitlocker included in Windows 8.1 Pro, but requires Enterprise in Windows 7.May be more stable with in general.
That's all I noticed and can think of off hand.I assume Windows 10 will have at least all the same benefits of Windows 8, but with a more familiar Start Menu. Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 would require paying for new...

Document comparing the benefits to upgrading from version to version

I'm looking for a document that describes the benefits gained for upgrading from one version to the next. We're currently on version 6.0sp1 and I'm interested in getting us on the current version; but need to be able to easily explain what the benefits are.
I have seen quite a few threads talking about getting upgraded to 10gR3; is that the most recent version of the former AquaLogic portal? Is there a newer version that exists in the new 11g release? Or is that one of the many other portal products offered from Oracle?
If any of you have recieved or created a document describing the differences between versions, I'd really appreciate it if you could share the information.
Thank you,
Tom

Blog entry from Brian Harrison, the product manager of WCI:
"Should I Upgrade to WCI 10gR3":
http://blogs.oracle.com/WCI
Surprisingly, this is not an easy question to answer. If you are currently running a version of ALUI 6.5, then there is truly not a great reason for upgrading, because there were not a lot of changes made between ALUI 6.5 MP1 and WCI 10gR3. In fact, we essentially think of WCI 10gR3 as ALUI 6.5 MP2. Here is a list of the primary changes that were made to create WCI 10gR3:
• New Adaptive Layouts for iPhone
• New Experience Rule for IP addresses
• Oracle Branding
• Removal of license key requirements
• A few bug fixes across different areas of the products
If one or more of the above items are important, then there may be a good reason to upgrade to WCI 10gR3. However, if the above items are not important, then maybe it isn’t important for you to upgrade quite yet.
On the other hand, if you are currently running a version of ALUI 6.x prior to 6.5, then there are a lot of great reasons for upgrading because there were a lot of new features added between 6.x and WCI 10gR3. The new UI engine called Adaptive Layouts is definitely a very significant improvement as well as the availability of the new Friendly URLs feature. In almost every instance, I would recommend that a ALUI 6.0 or 6.1 customer upgrade to WCI 10gR3.

Project Server Error Event ID 6971 when upgrading from Project Server 2007 to 2010.

Hi All,
I get the following error when trying to import a project server site from PS 2007 to PS 2010. The error occurs after the provisioning is completed. The initial error with event id 7381 is:
"ProjectSite post provision setup completed with errors"
This error is followed by Event Id 6971 and the following error text. I checked the site and I do see the sub sites under the main project server site, but the actual PWA site is not created and integrated with the project server components. The
database upgrade of all the 4 Project Server databases went through ok. I am not sure how to fix this problem. Any help that you guys can provide is great appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Anand,
Thanks for the info.
Basic rule for DB attach method is, we should not change Project Web Application site collection name. E.g of old site was /PWA , when we move databases from one farm to another site should
be provisioned as /PWA. Brian Smith's excellent blog article can help you to understand common issues
As per the error message posted earlier, looks like you are trying to provision PWA site as “Testsite”
Correct me if I am wrong

Benefits of upgrading AD from 2003 to 2008 before upgrading to 2012

We currently have Win2003 R2 with AD and DNS and want to upgrade our to the newest we can. Is there any benefits on upgrading from win2003 to 2008 then to 2012? I can see that updating 2k3 to 2012 r2 works with lots of youtube videos. Is
there any info on what the actual Pro's and Con's from going from a 2003 r2 straight to 2012 r2. Or am I missing major components if I don't go to 2008 first.

There is no Pro's going thru Windows Server 2008 and then to Windows Server 2012. Extend the schema for Windows Server 2012,
Disable EDNS on Windows Server 2012 DCs if they are not using forwarders for external name resolution, you might want to enable
DES-Only Encryption as this is disabled by default starting with Windows Server 2008 R2, you may also want to disable
SID Resource Compression if any if your applications doesn't support this.

Planning upgrading from t3i

Hey guys!So I've had my t3i for a while and I think I'm hitting the limitations in the t3i in terms of what I'm doing now. I've had the camera for about 1-2 years (was given to me as a xmas gift) and up until now, I've done automotive photography, nature photography, as well as portrait photography. I thought that the T3i was already a good enough camera for me to suit my needs but I realized I might need more now but I'm not sure. One night, I was doing rolling shots with a few buddies of mine and noticed in post processing, that there was a ton of grain in most of the pictures if I turned up the shadows (was shooting in betwen 1/10-1/20th of a second at F8.0 at 3200ISO. What are the benefits of upgrading from a T3i or do I just need a better lens? I was thinking of going to either a T4i or a T5i but at the same time, I want to go for a full frame sensored camera but I don't know if the types of photography I'm doing right now require such an advanced camera such as the 5D MkII or if the t4i/t5i will be good enough. Also, do the lenses for the T3i work for the 5D MKII or do I have to purchase new lenses for it? I'm guessing the lenses for the T3i are compatible with the T4i and the T5i. Thanks!

If you "turned up the shadows" on these, they were heavily underexposed... which is pretty much guaranteed to make for a ton of noise as soon as you turn it up in post processing. SHOOT RAW AND AVOID UNDEREXPOSURE LIKE THE PLAGUE. To me your sample shots still look a bit underexposed (nore on that in a moment). In fact, it's often better to overexposure your images a little... I use +1/3 stop for 3200 and +2/3 stop for 6400... then pull the image brightness back down in post processing. This minimizes noise, rather than amplifying it. I hope you don't mind... I took one of your images into Photoshop, lightened it a lot and increased the contrast... then applied Noiseware noise reduction (same "formula" that I use with my 7Ds when shooting at ISO 3200)... then resharpened the image a bit. Normally sharpening will really increase the appearance of noise, which is why I didn't do any more until after applying NR. It improved quite a bit, I think. But would have been even better working from an original, full size RAW file that had not been so heavily underexposed. I also fooled around with the color balance a little.... But there are mixed types of light in the image so, I didn't go to far with this. If it were my image and I were spending more time optimizing it, I'd do a color balance on the main subject and foreground, then adjust the background separately. Anyway, here's the result...   Regarding underexposure... Do you have your computer monitor calibrated? The reason I ask is that most monitors are way too bright to work with photographs, leading you to make too dark images, to the point you don't realize how much you are underexposing them when shot. The first step in calibration is setting the monitor's brightness. When I first got my current monitor 3 or 4 years ago, I had to set it down to about 20% brightness for accurate prints. Now, after several years use I still have to turn it down to about 50% or my prints and images posted online end up way too dark. I am afraid you might be disappointed with a new camera if you don't resolve some other things first. Don't blame the gear! As it is, you likely aren't getting anywhere close to the best possible high ISO shots out of the camera you've got now. ***********

Upgrade from iPhoto 5 to 6?

What are the benefits of upgrading from iPhoto 5 to 6? Is it worth the cost?

BluSky:
If iPhoto is the only iApp that you use the benefits may be marginal depending on your usage and point of view. There are new book designs and a photo calendar you can create and have printed. iPhoto 6 has changed it's folder system to one of having a folder for each roll instead of the date based system (a big improvement IMO) and the capability of using aliases in the library instead of copying the entire file into it. Another plus in my opinion. It is faster.
Some users have had problems with the conversion process and there are steps one can take to minimize the problems. (Always have a backup copy of your original iPhoto Library folder before starting any upgrade or fix). One feature that some consider a negative is that the Homepage capability is no longer built into iPhoto (you can still do it online) and has been replaced with the new iWeb. It's pretty slick but does not interface easily with the previous home pages you might have.
If you also use iDVD or any of the other iApps it's a no brainer, again IMO, as the new iDVD is great. I would have gotten iLife 06 just for iDVD alone.

I just upgraded from Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

I just upgraded from Logic Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. I now want projects to open in Pro. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...

I am attempting to upgrade from Adobe Premier Elements 9 to Adobe Premier Elements 13 after using 13's trial version for a few weeks. I am unable to find where and how to do this without losing the project I have been working on. Please help?

I am attempting to upgrade from Adobe Premier Elements 9 to Adobe Premier Elements 13 after using 13's trial version for a few weeks. I am unable to find where and how to do this without losing the project I have been working on. Please help?

Vere Clarke
Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and Premiere Elements 13 are standalone products.
So, you can have both on the same computer, but only open one for your work.
The classical recommendation is to finish a project in the version in which it was created since there
is no guarantee that a project from an earlier version will open in the later version. Probably will, but
no guarantees. And, when you do explore this, do it from a copy of the earlier version project. Once you
take the earlier version project into a later version one, you cannot go back to edit the later version edited
project in the earlier version program.
If you have both versions (9 and 13) on the same computer and you have not moved, deleted, renamed any of the version 9's files/folders,
right click the saved closed Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project file, select Open With, and then Adobe Premiere Elements 13.
(Your 9.0/9.0.1 saved closed project file should be found in Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/9.0.)
Please review and consider. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Thank you.

Upgrading a project from Weblogic Integration 8.1.3 to Weblogic Integration

Can anyone offer any advice to assist me in upgrading a project from Weblogic Integration 8.1.3 to Weblogic Integration 9.2.1?
Here are some nuances of the project:
* The JNDI, JDBC, & JMS server resources are secured; access is controlled by Deployment Descriptor run-as/security-role/... tags and custom CSPs
* The application is currently build for deployment using wlwBuild ant task (class in workshop.core.WlwBuildTask which is located in the 8.1.3 {weblogic.home}/workshop/wlw-ide.jar - so far I can't find this class/task in my 9.2.1 install)
* The following are the application characteristics (and utilized WLI features): multiple web apps, EJBs, JMS, Page flow/netUI, web services, WLI controls (process, java, transformation), XMLBeans
* One of the project goals is to not make any functional changes and modify as little code as necessary (the only expected justification for a modification is a) fallout out from the JVM 1.5 upgrade or b) something is no longer available in WLI 9.2)
I know there is a edocs page with a tutorial for upgrading from 8.1.4 or 8.1.5 to 9.2, but I am interested in knowing if anyone has insight on upgrading directly from 8.1.3?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
Regards,
Andy Frank

just as a followup to my original message.. regarding the 8.1.4 install log that had all the warnings with the msi it expected and the different one it found... at the bottom of the log..this is what I got;
