Change filelocation whilst migrating system using online backup (hom. systemcopy)

Hi all,
Situation:
I'm migrating (homogeneous systemcopy) a couple of systems running on windows / oracle to windows / oracle using an online backup created on the source system ((brbackup –c –p initSID.sap –u system/***** -t online) . This backup will be shipped to the target system. I also want to keep and apply the redologs from after this backup to the new target system.
I need to change driveletters:
old      SAPDATA_HOME                   T:
new                                                     X:
old     ORACLE_HOME                      E:
new                                                    G:
old     oraarch                                    P:
new                                                    Y:
Question: Is this possible? What would be my aproach (using swpm).
Many thanks!
Marcel

Hello Marcel,
Note that when you run the target system installation, you will be running a fresh installation, but the only difference will be you will restore the database during the target system installation.
Therefore, you just need to set all new drive letters when SWPM request for them.

Outlook Backup Using Online Backup and Share

I just started using online backup and share. I selected the files for automatic backup including my Outlook PST and Archive PST(Outlook) Files. It looks like my archive file backed up but not my main Outlook PST file. Does Outlook need to be closed to have this file backed up?

Outlook does need to be closed in order for that file to be backed up. When Outlook is running, the file is locked as "Open and In Use" meaning until Outlook closes the file, nothing else can open that file.

How to use online backup services with a Mac.

I want to use an online backup service but each one I check out is unable to backup at least one of my key files and perhaps others that I havent tested yet.
I use an old palm pda and a current version of the palm desktop for mac. I'm quite happy with it and have tons of info on it.
But the online backup services store the files on an IBM server and when I restore it to my Macbook I get a Unix. exe file that I cannot use. I cant even import it or open it on a pc (which would be an acceptable solution in case of an emergency).
I really need a good backup solution for all my Mac files.
I've spoke to Apple, Palm and the techs at the online backup services and no one has a solution.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

You are very welcome. I don't think you can do scheduled updates. Apparently what happens is that the update happens whenever anything is changed on the desktop iDisk. No you don't have to recreate the desktop iDisk ever. That is, you can leave it on your desktop continuously. I trashed mine because I don't like to have things working in the background if I don't currently need them. On the other hand if I changed many things in a day, then I'd leave it on the desktop continuously.
If you check out all the MobileMe features, then you might decide that you like it. Your Dock mail program mirrors exactly what is on the MobileMe online mail program. I have to admit that the online program is very slow. But, the on Dock program more than makes up for the deficiency. Back to Mac is a cool feature. And, the online photo album feature is very easy and works well, except that it doesn't seem able to handle animated gifs.

How to change the search provider when using the Firefox Home Button Search feature?

In Firefox itself I have configured duckduckgo as my default search provider.
But when I use the Firefox Home Button Search it is always set to google and I do not see any option to change that?
I like the Firefox Home Button Search (or whatever it's called) otherwise, but it's annoying that it does not use the default from Firefox.
I use the Google Now Launcher.

Changing a Time Capsule from use a backup device to use as an external hard drive

Hey there,
I bought my Time Capsule about a year ago and have been using it as a backup device through time machine. Now I would like to use it as an external hard drive.
I have tried to reset the device and to erase the data file but I still cant seem to get it to work as an external hard drive.
Could anyone tell me how to do this or what I am doing wrong please?
Thanks so much
Tuku

LaPastenague,
I've read a few threads and you've replied to several of these, so I imagine you're familiar with the Time Capsule (TC) and hopefully are able to help me solve my 2 problems:
1)access my TC files from the internet (TC at home, me at work, downloading a big file),
this didn't work: http://www.stratospherix.com/support/gsw_timecapsule.php?page=6remote
perhaps Bonjour would work but I can't find a good explanation anywhere
2)watch movies stored on my TC using my PS3 without using a MacBook or a PC.
Ideally I would use one of my android devices as a dedicated server but I don't know how to accomplish this and I'm afraid the file transfer rate would be too slow for movies once I get it running. Most Mac experts don't seem to work at all with android or Windows so an iphone or ipad solution is okay.
I have tools at my disposal: cable internet with dynamic IP but have a dynDNS account, 2TB TC new as of summer 2012 running latest firmware, iphone5, ipadmini, 2 android phones and an android GalaxyTab. For initial programming or setup purposes I have a Windows8 PC and a MacBookAir (but I want the computers to be off when I access my TC files in the future).
Please bear in mind I've read the related threads out there, perhaps not the right ones. I'm not a regular poster but I've spent so much time trying to figure it out I've become desperate. I'm trying to make the switch to Mac but the TC is making this difficult. I can't justify another purchase (eg Mac Mini) right now so I'd like to figure out how to make my $300 TC work for me at least as well as a non-Apple product that costs half as much. I appreciate your thoughtful response.

Need to revert to my old OS on iPad. Cannot. Tried using old backup but this Trojan horse type software has corrupted my ability to do so. Tried emailing but it bounced back unacknowledged. I was sent notice that I can't get support. Christmas 2012 gift.

New OS causing major problems. Forced to purge data and wipe iPad. Now my computer has changed. My software has changed on iPad. Tried using old backup from earlier date but Trojan horse software created by Apple has decided to stay.
Have 16gig. IPad 2 bought December 2012 for Christmas but according to Apple I am out of Apple care and would need to pay for support. When has 1 year apple care become 9 months?
Wasted an entire day trying to purge my older computer which is linked to this iPad. I reset my iPod and ended up deleting and wiping clean but it's not factory but the aggressive 7.2 which returned. I want my old OS back. Their software has destroyed my ability to use my iPad for the purposes I intended it for.
I don't do social media other than Pinterest and I want the fluffy stuff gone. They need to forget trying to get me into the clouds and fix this iPad so I can use it for real world applications.
You can only keep resetting so often. There has been hardware issues almost since purchase because it crashed several times even before updated fiasco.
Help please.

Ralph9430, thanks for responding but the fact that they don't support AppleCare on a unit less than a year old despite being an older version is wrong.
It suppose to be from date of purchase so their not taking responsibility for the maiming of people's computers and their subsequent arrogance in not removing it is going to their undoing.
We have purchased iPhones, Mac Pro, iPad, iPod touches in the nano, shuffle and touch versions in the past as well as the more solid 80gig version. I
I am still using 3G model phone and I can no longer find apps to use with it because Apple feels I don't deserve new apps.
My children are using iPhone 4 and my daughter was seeking to upgrade to the newest model when it becomes available. They are social, I am not and I deserve the software I paid for. It should always be an option.
I can tell you that this particular oversight is causing me to look elsewhere for future purchases and I will not be recommending Apple to others as I have in the past.

RMAN vs Online backup

what would be the main advantages to use RMAN vs Online backup?
On both backup/recovery stand point, RMAN is a lot more reliable and less user error/easy to recover/ faster backup and revocery time?
I am using online backup but want to switch to RMAN..

RMAN is the oracle suggested way of doing backups. RMAN automates a lot of the things that you need to handle if doing a backup the "old fashioned way". Things like the spfile, etc are automatically done w/ the backup.
Another advantage is that RMAN only backs up blocks that are used, so if you have a datafile that is 2G, but only 100M of it is used it will only have to backup 100M, where with a manual backup you would need to backup the entire file.
Is one way better than another? It is hard for me to say, once you become familiar with RMAN, you'll wonder why you didn't learn it earlier.
My 2 cents anyway.

What is the best online backup system to use for Mac?

What is the best online backup system to use for mac?

By online, do you mean backup to the cloud, where you pay a monthly fee for the service to host your data?
If this is the case, then there are a lot of services (do not know them all, but DropBox, CrashPlan, Carbonite, Mozy, SugarSync, come to mine, and that is not a complete list.
There are also services that allow you to backup over your home network or across the internet to your own storage. CrashPlan has this option (for free), and Transporter come to mind. CrashPlan talks to another computer also running CrashPlan that you own or have some control (could even be a friend or relatives computer). Transporter is hardware that you either provide some storage of your choice, or they will sell the unit with storage.
I'm mostly a CrashPlan to my own storage user. I backup to a Mac mini for my Mom (300 miles away) and Wife (she is local )
Can clarify your exact desires or needs.

After Migration Assistant, Time Machine refuses to use old backups

I've got to say I'm pretty disappointed with Time Machine.
I just dropped $2,000 on my second-ever Mac, a 15" MBP (Core i7 2GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB 5200rpm hard drive, the stock low-end 15" config). From what I'd heard about Migration Assistant, I believed it would easily move my stuff over to my new Mac. For the most part it did, but a few things didn't transfer. Other posts on the topic detail them accurately - Desktop icon layouts, some settings, Growl, etc.
I told Migration Assistant to use my Time Machine backups, which have been happening without incident for a long time. My oldest backup is December 2010.
Now that my new MBP is about 99% set up like my old MBP, I am having a problem with Time Machine.
I get the error "Time Machine could not complete the backup. This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 355.61 GB but only 176.44 GB are available."
Looking at the Time Machine drive in Finder, I found that Time Machine is trying to create a new folder for backups and do a full backup. Where there was once one folder, "[My Name]'s MacBook Pro," there is now an additional folder, "[My Name]'s MacBook Pro 2." Time Machine is trying to back up into that second directory.
Now, I get it that this is a different computer. But really, if I use Migration Assistant to restore my Time Machine backup, I think it would be safe for OSX to assume that I want to continue using those backups. What is especially disappointing for me is, there were things that Migration Assistant did not restore properly. I probably haven't found them all. That makes it CRUCIAL that I have my Time Machine backups, but it seems that Apple thinks it's perfectly normal for me to want to FORMAT my Time Machine drive after Migration Assistant did a half-*** job of migrating my data. I need those backups now more than ever.
I do also have an online backup, but I still don't feel very comfortable destroying six months of local backups just to make Time Machine work again. Both MBPs were running the same (latest) version of Snow Leopard, so it stands to reason all that needs to happen is a very small incremental backup.
I have been Googling for hours. All I've found is a procedure for 10.5 that doesn't work in 10.6 where I get down into the Terminal and change a MAC address in a file on the Time Machine volume. But that's it. In fact it seems like there's no answer.
Come on Apple, you do everything else better than the competition. Why do I have to nuke six months of backups or buy a new 2TB external drive to make Time Machine work again? I assure you I want to continue making incremental backups against my old Time Machine backups, and promise to hold you not responsible should I screw something up by grabbing an old system file or something from February.
Would appreciate any help anyone could offer.

Did you use Setup Assistant when your new Mac first started up, or skip that, create a user account, then use the Migration Assistant app in your Applications/Utilties folder?
If you used Setup Assistant, when you started your first backup you should have gotten the message in #B5 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting. It sounds like you didn't (or chose Start New Backup). And no, the Leopard procedure doesn't work on Snow Leopard. That's what #B5 is for.
Usually, if you use Setup Assistant, Time Machine will still say it's going to do a full backup, and make room for it, but actually do an incremental backup (very, very slowly).
Either way, it usually deletes a lot of old backups. We're hoping that will be fixed in Lion.
Once it's decide to make a new backup, there's no known way to prevent it.

System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore as part of migrating from 32 to 64-bit

Source system (I386): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000, Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Target system (x86-64/AMD64): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000 Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Am using method System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore to migrate from 32 to 64 bit (HOM System Copy).
Actions on source system:
a) Upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to Oracle 10.2.0.4
b) Used ora_br_copy.bat to generate CONTROL.SQL and init<sid>.ora
c) Switched logfiles
d) Performed offline backup
Actions on target system:
a) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 and patched it to 10.2.0.4
b) Used CD 51033746 "6.20/6.40 based products Installation Master (Edition May 2008)" to install the CI
c) Started installation of the DB instance selecting System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore (same <SID> for source and target systems)
Relevant input parameters used:
Database schema: SAPR3
Database character set: US7ASCII
d) When SAPINST stopped to allow for restoring of datafiles, logs and init<sid.ora>:
- copied datafiles and logs to the usual place
- copied CONTROL.SQL (edited to include utilrp.sql and utlrp.sql for the migration from 32 to 64) to the DB-instance intallation . directory.
- copied generated init<SID>.ora to the <ORACLE_HOME>\database
e) Resumed SAPINST.
David Byrne in a previous post suggested: "check your oracle alert file in case there are errors there you may need to update the word size for the 64bit install. Errors like this in the oracle alert file would suggest that.,
ORA-12012
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: 56319], [, ], [, ], [, ], [
ORA-06553"
Well, I am getting ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319] but then my edited CONTROL.SQL (which is mainly a CREATE CONTROLFILE as it would be obtained with a ...BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE) includes at the end this:
shutdown immediate
startup upgrade
spool utlirp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
spool off
Shutdown immediate
Startup
Spool utlrp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Spool off
exit
which is supposed to do just that... (I think)
Help, anyone?

> Trying to cheer me up, are you?
No
> It is NOT free that reorganization! Quite expensive, actually, paid for in time! But you're right... the database needed a reorg anyway :-\
True, not "free" - it takes time but the data will be nicely aligned then
> And why would I have to reconfigure all those 10.2 features? Everything's either in the database or init<sid>.ora, ain't it? And my database is a pretty 10.2.0.4 with all those nice features already activated...
No - not really auotmatically if you upgraded from 9.2 And "init<SID>.ora" is past, you nowadays use "spfile" If, of course, e. g. Automatic Undo was activated in 9.2 then it's there of course in 10.2 too.
> One sticky point... I haven't really read the r3load procedure yet and I will before I import, but... I would say I don't have to do anything about the 32->64 bit, right? I mean, it should behave properly while reloading on 64-bit...
The exported content is about 10 % of the size of the system, it's database and OS independent so yes, you can import it nicely on 32bit. Another tip: make sure you don't just use the default configurations for R3load, it will take a HUGE amount of time. Use the package splitter (builtin-in in sapinst) so you get a much higher parallelism when importing.

System copy using oracle backup/restore - sapinst does not restart after re

I am performing a system copy of a BW3.5 system, using the system copy procedures and Oracle backup/restore. on the target node, I have installed the CI. I have run sapinst to install the database up to the point when it tells me to install the Oracle Server software, then restore the backup, and choose 'OK' in the dialog box. As I did not want to leave this dialog open, I chose 'cancel'. I have now installed Oracle, and restored the database, but when I try restarting sapinst I get the following error, and sapinst quits:
FKD-00049 XML - Parser error: error: invalid symbol '' in literal 'SAPSYSTEM_DB

rmation or press OK to terminate the installation.
Has anybody ever experienced this before, or have any clues as to what the problem is? This is a production system, and it is supposed to be available by the end of the week....

Hi Angie,
You should always mention OS details while drafting message.
First, CHeck you must selected same SID as earlier while installation or Oracle and DB.
Secondly, you can skip this phase in SAPInst, bit technical for you.
Alternatively,
Recommendations
- Set parameters as per SAP Note 356370
- Change the swap mode from 'intermediate' to 'deferred' as described in
SAP Note 97179.
- Add /usr/sbin to the path of the user <sapsid>adm in the file
.cshrc, .login, .profile in the user's home directory. Enter the
following command(s) at the end of .cshrc, .login, .profile:
a) If using a csh, enter:
       set path=(/usr/sbin $path)
b) If using a sh, enter:
       path=/usr/sbin:$path
       export path

Online backups on BIW systems, every update is logged?

Some years ago I was at an SAP BIW installation, they performed Oracle online backups dayly.
For some reason, they had to restore and recover DB, and after using an online backup as a restore basis, some indexes were not usable, because they had been updated without archive log information.
Finally, the easiest way for the system administator was using an offline backup.
I got to know there were some updates (not critical) not being logged in the DB, so online backups, as well as standby DB would not be as useful as on OLTP systems.
Does somebody know if this is or this is not the same nowadays? Is everything logged on a BW system? Is that a tunable configuration for some indexes? Is an online backup really useful after restoring and recovering?
Thanks very much for your experience and answers !!
Eva

Hello Eva,
> For some reason, they had to restore and recover DB, and after using an online backup as a restore basis, some indexes were not usable, because they had been updated without archive log information.
This behaviour is absolutely normal.
In a BW system the indexes are created / rebuild with the NOLOGGING clause, because of some performance reasons.
> Finally, the easiest way for the system administator was using an offline backup.
The easiest yes - but concurrently the worst one. He can identify the "new" indexes since the last online backup and only recreate this ones.
> Does somebody know if this is or this is not the same nowadays?
Yes the NOLOGGING clause is still used nowadays.
> Is everything logged on a BW system?Is that a tunable configuration for some indexes?
You can "deactivate" the NOLOGGING clause.. but then you can have some performance impacts in your BW load processes.
Check sapnote #442763 for the customizing.
> Is an online backup really useful after restoring and recovering?
Yes, of course .. the ONLINE backup is the preferred method.
If you recover your database with the BR*Tools .. your unusable indexes are automatically rebuild.
Check sapnote #849485 for that feature.

Stop CIF queues always during online Backup on SCM system

Hello,
On Upgrade Guide "SAP SCM 5.1 ABAP UNIX Oracle Version 1.00" under
chapter 3.4 --> Backup before prepare JAVA we found this :
"Before performing a database backup, you have to stop the CIF queues in your
SAP SCM system in order to ensure a consistent recovery state."
Is this relevant for every online backups (also outside from Upgrading)?
Should we stop the CIF queues on daily online backups too? Or is this a special-feature during Upgrade?
BR
Ray Purucker

Hello,
Do you have above said log file available ?
Instead of the option 'Overflow log path', did you try rollforward with the option of timestamp (point in time) (till the time you have the log files) Or with the option overflow log path but with 'NORETRIEVE' as well ?
For the query status command, Last committed transaction time stamp is not what you thought.
Please revise the command options,
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/core/r0001978.htm
'It is looking for log file S0000XXX.LOG whose time stamp is older than the time stamp of online backup.'
If you want to restore only until the online backup, then use the option End of Backup and stop - to rollforward until the last log when backup was in progress
Thanks

System Migration can't find backup volume in Time Capsule

I'm having a crisis restoring the backup volume from my old 15" MacBook Pro (2010 model, OSX 10.6) to my new 15" MacBook Pro, 2012 OSX 10.7). I back up both my iMac and my MacBook Pro there wirelessly. I've had success restoring hard drives in the past. I executed a backup this morning before my old machine died. When I try to run Data Migration wirelessly, it can't find the either volume. When I look in Time Machine using Finder, I can't see either volume (wirelessly or wired). However, when I connect to Time Capsule using FInder with an Ethernet connection, I can see both Parse Bundles.
Here is another variable. I changed the Time Capsule password using my other machine right before I started all of this.
What can I do? I've got some major project deadlines looming Monday and I don't really have time for data recovery. Is there anything I can do or am I sunk?

Apple sells products that have been "regionalized" for different parts of the world. North America, South America, Europe, Southeast Asia, etc, for example.
It is not possible to change a Time Capsule from one region to another. The reason for this is that different regions have different wireless standards and regulations. See this link for all the details:
List of WLAN channels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Time Capsule purchased in the USA will operate from 100-240 Volts and 50/60 Hz automatically, so power wise, it will work just about anywhere in the world if you have the right kind of AC wall socket adapter. (A power transformer or converter is not needed).
But, you will have to be careful about using higher 5 GHz wireless channels on the USA Time Capsule while in Europe, since the use of higher 5 GHz channels is not legal in most European countries at this time. In other words, keep the 5 GHz channel on the USA Time Capsule at Channel 36, 40, 44 or 48.
