Clarification needed on where to start using the Wizard

I need some clarification about at what point start using the Maintenance Wizard in the R12 upgrade process. Having done this manually before I need direction on what steps need to be done before letting the Wizard take over the process.
I realize that the 12.1.1 software needs to be installed ahead of time but what about other manual tasks that are outlined in the “Database Preparation Guidelines for an E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Upgrade (Doc ID 761570.1)” and documents it refers to? This note says to “Follow the standard 12.1.1 upgrade path as documented in the Oracle Applications Upgrade Guide: Release 11i to Release 12.1.1. Perform all requirements documented in Chapter 1 and all applicable steps in Chapter 2.”.
I guess the question is should all steps be done in the notes above and start using the Maintenance Wizard at step “8. Complete the R12 upgrade” in note 761570.1? I’m confused because it appears some of the steps, such as running the TUMS report, can be done with the wizard but what ones can’t.

There's actually a step in the MW for installing the 12.1.1 software, though it can also (and is easier if done ahead) be installed prior to starting the steps in MW.
Ideally, the MW includes all the steps from the Upgrade Guide, the Release Notes and any other referenced notes. If you are finding this not to be the case, please log a bug with Support so we can add the missing step(s).

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • How do i start USING the application? i need step by step directions.

    Hi, I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer N911-a.  I would like to start using the applications installed on the printer.  HOWEVER, I do not know how to start, so that I can personalize them.  For example, how do I scan my receipts?  I have no idea how to get started.  Can someone PLEASE give me step by step directions on how to first access the application and then to personalize them and then print it?
    Thank you.

  • I created one apple I'd when I started using the iPad.  After some days, I had to create a new apple I'd as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple I'd is appearing.  Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

    Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
    The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
    To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad. 
    Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
    Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.

  • Do I need to be accredited to use the SAP SDK?

    Hello,
    I am software developer working for a small company that uses SAP BO 2005A in the finance and sales department.
    I recently discovered the SAP SDK installed on our machines (server and PC's), and after some research and looking at people's sample code here, I have successfully written a small Visual Basic application that could create Sales Orders automatically, saving the company time not having to do the manual entry.
    Would anyone know if I would be breaking any SAP contract or agreement if I was to run my little application ?
    Do I need to be accredited to use the SDK?
    Much appreciated.

    Hi Lisa,
    The SAP service provider looking after us, is very drakonian, My management senses that the contract we have with them could ban us (the Client or anyone else) from interfacing SAP in ways that are not via the SAP Front End.
    We recently approached them for a quote to build us a simple Stock checking web service function plus an Order loading application and we were hit with a 20,000 australian dollar quotation, which is close to 15,000 us dollars:- quite excessive in my opinion, given I have just built the application in a few hours using the SDK, I realise we are getting over quoted!
    Wanting to be helpful, and being a dotnet developer, after having done plenty of research here at the SAP Developer Network, I have learned how to use the SDK and now I realise how simple it is to interface SAP using the Business Objects DLL.
    However, if I run my application using the SDK I fear that our SAP provider could sue us for breach of contract. They might say they hold the exclusive rights to SAP on our Inrastructure to using the SDK DLL's directly.
    I want to play by the rules, and I would like to ask them directly where I stand using the SDK, but this might antagonise them and God knows what else! After all, they wuold like to be selling us their solution, if you know what I mean.
    It would be nice if I could contact SAP directly and get the truth on the matter.
    I appreciate your feedback immensely.

  • Adobe Acrobat XI - 2 pc license - Where am I using the 2nd?

    Hi,
    I have a new pc, and now I want to install Acrobat here. I have one license used on my main office PC, so far so good. But where am I using the second license? Is there any way to find that out, or to just reset all active licenses online, so i have to inssert the key again?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    thx for your reply.
    Ahh, kk, I need to clearify here
    I own one license, meaning I'm allowed to install on 2 pcs.
    So, I have quite a number of pc's sitting around here, and I recently switched my main working stations. So, I have already installed both possible installations for my license. However, I fear I formated one pc before deactivating the serial for adobe on that pc. So, is there a way to deactivate that one copy without havin the installed program on that pc (or to deactivate all copys via Adobe plattform), or to even find out on which pcs I installed it?
    Thx

    I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

    I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
    also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
    I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

  • I need to export Quicktime files using the PhotoJPEG, MJPEG-A, or DV codec.  Is this possible in Final Cut Pro X?  In the options under export I don't see any of these available.

    I need to export Quicktime files using the PhotoJPEG, MJPEG-A, or DV codec.  Is this possible in Final Cut Pro X?  In the options under export I don't see any of these available.  I'm a newbie to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm importing .MOV files from my Canon 5Dmk2 at 1080p.  So should I just export using a different codec and then use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to convert to an MJPEG-A or PhotoJPEG codec?

  • I am so tired of iphoto crashing, losing work I've done.  I want to switch to photoshop elements 10 but need to know if it uses the iphoto library or if I can import that library into elements

    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
