Client upgrade from 10.1.0.2 to 10.2.0.1.0

Hi,
I am new to Oracle and trying to upgrade Oracle Client from 10.1.0.2 to 10.2.0.1.0, after looking at the documentation it looks like that I have to uninstall current installed version and install new version to upgrade. This sounds strange to me, I am primarily an AIX admin and in AIX one of the upgrade procedures is called preservation upgrade, which lets you keep old configuration but upgrade the OS. I was wondering if there is a similar procedure in Oracle where I can upgrade the software but keep the current configuration and at the same time I don’t want to run two copies Oracle client to achieve this task. Please advice.
Regards,
Satish

You can install 10.2 Client in another Oracle Home (or even another OS user). When this one is working you can remove the old one, if needed.

  • Automate Client upgrade from 7.0 to 7.5

    How can you automate the ZAM Client upgrade from 7.0 to 7.5? If I run the setup.exe for 7.5 it generates an error saying a previous version was detected, please uninstall it first. I would have thought there would be some kind of upgrade switch.

  • Client Upgraded from Tiger to Leopard Can No Longer Connect to Tiger Server

    I just finished upgrading a G5 2GHz DP Powermac from Tiger to Leopard. This was an Archive and Install upgrade with importing the old settings. After verifying the account migration, including .Mac connectivity, and fixing all 3rd party software compatibilities/upgrades, I tried to connect to our Tiger 4.11 server by clicking on the server's Icon in the Shared section of the Finder Sidebar. The finder then switches to browse the the server for shares: "Connecting..." is displayed under the tool bar, with a "Share Screen..." and "Connect As..." buttons to the right.
    At this point the "Connecting..." remains displayed with the spinning circle in the bottom right of the Finder window.... spinning. This situation continues for several minutes until is seems the system gives up.
    If I click on the Path button on the Tool Bar, and go up to the Shared level, ALL the Shares on the Network are displayed, including all the Tiger Client machine shares. I can click on the triangle beside the Tiger Client's icon, and all the drives and home directories on the Mac are listed. All the client shares can be accessed without any issues. NOTE: There are no other Leopard clients on the LAN.
    Prior to the Leopard upgrade, this client could connect to the Tiger server as well. All the other clients on the LAN can access the Tiger server also.
    On the Leopard client I have tried clicking and the "Connect As..." button and using the menu "Connect to Server" and specifying the server's IP, and I get the same "Connecting..." message with a "non-connecting" result.
    I can only assume that somehow the Account Name and password are not being passed correctly. But, using "Connect As..." should resolve that. However, "Connect As..." does not give me a user/password window!
    If I check the AFP Access log on the Server, the only messages displayed are "Mounted Volume..." No messages in the error log, and no messages in the "Connections" section.
    Can anyone help me figure out why the Leopard client can not connect to the Tiger Server?
    My apologies if the description of my problem is a bit disjointed. I have been thrown into server admin and am learning "Trial by Fire".
    Any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    OK. A quick update.
    After waiting for about 10 minutes for the rotating circle in the bottom right corner to stop, I was able to click on the "Connect As..." button. It took another 10 minutes, but the Connect As window eventual popped up. I entered the Userid and Password (saving to Keychain) and was able to see all the sharepoints on the the server. I browsed all the connected drives and folders without issue.
    I then disconnected from the server. Reviewing the AFP logs on the server shows messages for the connection Login and Logout.
    I then tried to reconnect to the server, and again another 10 minutes wait, although this time the Leopard client eventually connected automatically with the proper User, as per the AFP logs confirms.
    Although, the client can now connect to the server, for it to take 10 minutes will be unacceptable to management, not to mention the end user. Tiger clients can connect in a couple seconds!
    Is there a way to reduce the Leopard login time to, say, a couple seconds, like it does with the Tiger clients?
    Again, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Upgrade from XI 3.0 (SP17) to PI 7.0 (SP12): Best Practices

    Hi mates,
    I've a few questions regarding the upgrade to PI 7.0.
    If the upgrade process is done in phased manner i.e. DEV, QA, PRD in that order over a period of 3 weeks,
    How do we handle the transports from DEV->QA->PRD when DEV is 7.0 and QA & PRD on 3.0 using CMS?
    Will there be inconsistencies when transports are moved, because a few features could be different or internal representation of IR/ID content could be different in 3.0 & 7.0?
    What are the upgrade best practices, phased manner or all at a time?
    Please throw more light on this. I appreciate the inputs from people who've helped clients upgrade from 3.0 to 7.0. Any SAP documentation related to this?
    I looked at the thread Transports from XI 3.0 to PI 7.0 but the answert is very generic, w/o any supporting documentation and real time experience.
    thx in adv

    Im my experience you should implement a change freeze for this period, with the exception of emergency transports - and these have to be justified.
    <i>> Will there be inconsistencies when transports are
    > moved, because a few features could be different or
    > internal representation of IR/ID content could be
    > different in 3.0 & 7.0?</i>
    Full regression testing will be needed on each interface.  If you implement a change freeze this process becomes easier
    <i>>
    > What are the upgrade best practices, phased manner or
    > all at a time?</i>
    Allow plenty of resources to fully test every interface, as you would with any upgrade.
    You could also take the time to implement the new <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80bbbd55-5004-2a10-f181-8bb096923cb6">CTS+</a> for this new version to avoid any further transport issues (PI7.0 SP12 +).  A new method for a new system!
    Also, how is your SLD set up for XI?  This can have an impact.

  • Config Manager 2012 client upgrade (via package with batch commands)

    Hello all,
    I would like to kindly ask for your help with my question regarding a SCCM 2012 R2 client upgrade (from RTM to R2)
    Recently, we have upgraded from RTM version of SCCM2012 to R2 (with the PXE hotfix applied)
    During the process, I have choose not to upgrade clients when the SP1 was applied and go straight for the R2, which is not a problem I believe. 
    My question is regarding the pre-created packages, that are showing up in the console. I believe, that they are the easiest way to upgrade clients via packages in SCCM. (we can't push the installation due network policy)
    This hotfix is stored here: \\"FQDN_site_server"\SMS_TSP\hotfix\KB2905002\Client\x64    (in case of x64 version, x86 is the same but x86 in the end)
    The executed file from this path is this with this command following: 
    msiexec.exe /p configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp /L*v %TEMP%\configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp.LOG /q REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=mous
    Anyway, when we install the clients when we deploy it for the first on a machine, that has no client or we reinstall it, we do it with help of this batch command:
    set curdir=%~dp0
    %curdir%ccmsetup.exe SMSSITECODE=TSP /NoCRLCheck /UsePKIcert /forceinstall SMSMP=HTTPS://CML.LTSPRAGUE.CZ CCMHOSTNAME=CML.LTSPRAGUE.CZ
    I just need to know, if I can use the prepared package from the console in our case and if it will keep the settings when the package is deployed.
    I belive I have found a similar questin here on the forums:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c9b40687-1843-44c7-b61b-fd26d53ab90b/cumulative-update-3-and-agent-upgrade?forum=configmanagerdeployment
    The second answer might the answer I'm looking for, but can you explain that to me like I'm five years old? :)
    Please, let me know.
    The IT guys from LukOIL

    I'm not sure, because of my short time at  the company, but there are historical security reasons for setting the push installation off. 
    Second reason are strict firewall rules used here. SCCM Agent may contact site server through HTTPS - that is a one way communication, so push installation isn't possible.
    Don't mix "client push" and "automatic client update". See
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgr_geek_speak/archive/2013/09/09/using-configuration-manager-automatic-client-upgrade-to-upgrade-to-the-latest-system-center-endpoint-protection-client.aspx for further details. (And yes, the article talks about SCEP, but
    it also tells details about the entire process)
    Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
    Thank you for the article and your, but I find it easier to deploy packages right now.
    I have found out, that there is a folder named "ClientUpgrade" in ConfigMgr installation folder.
    I used this and made a package out of it. Deployment went fine as well as the installation of the upgrade for the client, but there is a problem now, that I don't see any software in the "Software Center" in "Available Software" - and there should be, since
    I have may SW pointed to me and the list was populated before I have done the upgrade to the new version.
    This may be a simple problem, but I really don't know what's wrong.

  • Upgrade from oracle 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4 Server or Clients first?

    Hello,
    I'm planning to Upgrade from oracle 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4 on Windows
    Server and Clients ar running now on 10.2.0.3.
    I cannot Upgrade both at the same time.
    What is recommend to upgrade first? Server or Clients?
    Thank you!
    stepe

    Hi,
    No matter the order the client / server compatibility is not so strict. Check MOS note 207303.1
    You can connect with a 10.2.0.3 client on a 10.2.0.4 database or with a 10.2.0.4 client on a 10.2.0.3 database. In fact you could even connect with a 9.2.0.8 client if it was still supported.
    As Ollear mentioned you client application needs of course to be tested but it should work fine.
    Notice the 10.2.0.5 patchset has been released.

  • Upgrade from Snow Leopard (Client) to Snow Leopard Server

    Hi,
    can I upgrade from Snow Leopard client (10.6.3) to the Server (10.6.3) without having to reformat my disk and delete all the apps etc?
    Thanks

    Hi Michele,
    Upgrading from 10.6 to 10.6 Server is unfortunately not possible without an erase and install of the Server OS.
    If you want to preserve your Client OS initially, you could split the primary disk partition and install 10.6 Server on the other partition, then remove the Client OS partition when ready and reclaim the disk space for the Server partition.

  • Can't uninstall HP Client security in order to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

    I have HP Probook 450 G2 and my Computer wants to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. But when it begins the upgrade process, I get the message, that 'HP Client Security manager' isn't compatible with Windows 10 and that it must be uninstalled. In order to uninstall it, I first must uninstall HP drive encryption. But to uninstall 'HP drive encryption' all partitions must be decrypted. I have two partition encrypted. hp drive encryption successfully decyrpted C partition with windows, but it can't decrypt H: partition (it has 60 GB data from my dropbox account). In Drive security it says H partition it's decyrpting, but there are no %. Only gray bar. It's been so for 5 days now. I tried to encrypt the H partition again and it did it in 1 second. After the reboot there was a sign Encrypted next to the partition lettter. I than again tried to decrypt H partition and it again won't do it. There' s only a gray bar without % and a sentence that partition is beeing decrypted next to the drive letter. I must decrypt this partition in order to uninstall 'HP drive encryption'. 'HP drive encryption' must be uninstaled in order to uninstall 'HP Client Securtiy Manager'. 'HP Client Securtiy Manager' must be uninstalled in order to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

    Actually it's H partition that hp drive encryption is decrypting 5 days now (without % sign). I have only my dropbox data there.  I could format that partition and downlad the data from dropbox again (it would take 1 day to download 60 GB of the data again from dropbox). D partition is HP recovery partition but I don't have any problems with it yet (i made a letter mistake in first post). I also made HP recovery media on USB stick. Will hp drive encryption automaticaly update the status of H partition from 'Decrypting' to 'decyrpted', if I format the H: partition? Will drive encyrption login window (WinMagic’s Pre-boot UEFI) (before the windows login) automatically be removed, if I format the H: partition? Will FilterBootOrder (FBO) variable automatically be removed, if I format the H: partition?I imagine this is automaticaly done via decrytion of all partitions/disk in HP client security (which doesn't work correct at my computer). Maybe afterwards the H: partition is formated and HP drive encryption status updated, I can then uninstall hp drive encryption and hp client security and install win10. This is another option.

  • View data in client B from client A in the same SID without a valid logon?

    Hi Folks
    We are planning on upgrading our 4.6C system to ERP 6.0, and are initialy considering having two clients in the same sandbox SID.  One would be for the developers to perform code remediation checks (client A), and one would contain a copy of production data for performing testing of functionality over live data (client B).
    Would it be possible to view data in client B from client A in the same system without a valid logon to client B or RFC connection to client B from client A?   For example via the use on an ABAP program to SQL the database?
    I know one can use transactions like SM30/SM31 to view, compare, and adjust data between clients, but this requires an RFC connection and valid logon to the target client.
    Regards
    Kevin.

    Short answer: yes.
    If someone has the right to write and execute ABAP reports on the system he is able to access the data of all clients. So I don't think that this setup is advisable. Don't mix development and production data in one system.

  • BSI Tax Factory upgrade from 9.0 to BSI 10D directly??

    Hi Experts,
    I know most of the BSI customers have upgraded from Tax Factory 9.0 to BSI Tax Factory 10.0 as BSI 9.0 support is going to be end of this November 30(2014)..We understand that there is new feature came up BSI 10.0 which is Browser based login to the BSI 10 which runs based Tomcat XML services which needs to be installed on the central windows server server and should be up and running for 24/7..which became a little budget issue for our cllient..
    Client dont want go for buying new windows servers for installation of Tom cat services exclusively..Because of all these constraints we have decided to go to BSI 10D which is having GUI logon feature like BSI 9.0 intead of Tom cat xml services for browser based which is released on 26th July 2014..
    So here My question is ..Is there a possibility to upgrade from 9.0 to 10d directly?? If yes what is the procedure to upgrade from BSI  9.0 to 10d..

    SAP has released SAP Note 1875218, which contains the roadmap for BSI TaxFactory 10.0.
    SAP has released the following Notes to allow for the integration of the Payroll U.S. solution with BSI TaxFactory 10.0:
    SAP Note 1903607 (Phase 1 delivery)
    SAP Note 1909014 (Phase 2 delivery)
    SAP Note 1934840 (Phase 3 delivery)
    SAP Note 1937142 (Nonresident Worked Days parameters)
    Installation and Upgrade Notes
    IMPORTANT: For customers with business in Puerto Rico we recommend to wait with an upgrade from BSI TaxFactory 9.0 to BSI TaxFactory 10.0 until cyclic 10.c is available. BSI is planning to release cyclic 10.c (Christmas Bonus) by end of February for certification. The certification will take around 15 days. After the successful certification, BSI will make the executables of BS TF 10.c available.

  • Challenges while Upgrading from OBIEE 10g to 11g

    Hi Gurus,
    This is Kiran again. This time I am back with the upgradation issues. We have a client which is currently on OBIEE 10g. All components are already configured in OBIEE 10g with client on RPD, Catalog and implemented all security levels for those.
    Now the challenge is to upgrade all activities which we have configured in OBIEE 10g. I have seen lot of stuff online and understood how to upgrade from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g by simply clicking on ua.bat file. But I am unable to understand the process how it is upgrading the securities and environments.
    Can anyone help me out by providing necessary stuff I need to take care of before taking the decision to upgrade from OBIEE 10g to 11g.
    And also please clear me whether we will have any challenges in upgrading process. If yes, then what kind of challenges we will face and what kind of necessary steps we need to implement to resolve it.
    What kind of Architecture we need to follow?
    How Schedulers will get upgraded?
    Please help me out with your real experiences (Not the online websites). Your response will be highly appreciated and it will help lot of OBIEE professionals who are in the process of upgradation.
    Thanks in Advance to all OBIEE GURUS.
    Kiran

  • If i want to use Icloud i HAVE to upgrade from OSX 10.6 to OSX 10.7 and it doesn't seem to work on my mac book. I thought i had managed then it said i needed 10.7 to be able to upgrade to 10.7??? Who can help? In app store i can only upgrade to M.LION?

    Dear Community members,
    the frustration is that Apple decide to go from Mobile me to Icloud, forcing clients to have an upgrade from 10.6 to 10.7, i do this on my iMAc but the agenda and contacts don't get synchronised within Icloud. It only works on iphone and ipad but my IMAC doesn't synchronise although i now have to correct software.
    I also needed to upgrade my mac book pro but by that time mountain lion was launched, i can now no longer find in App store how to upgrade 10.6 to 10.7 since Apple wants to promote Mountain lion. I then decided to upgrade my MAcbook pro to Mountain Lion but ididn't go through, process was each time interupted.
    So searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7 and after 40 min of downloading the system said that i requiered 10.7 in order to be able to install 10.7.
    Hello IKafka?
    Can someone help me, since this has taken me now days and days and with zero result, i have to manually input my appointements and contacts twice since the system doesn't recognise. and I bet that afterwards i will need to invest more time to un-double all the data...

    If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there. 
    searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
    The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
    As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
    Regards.
