CopyApp utility vs Migration-Planning and objects

Hi,
Moving from 9.3.1. to 9.3.1.x.
If we have similar DB on different server and want to move planning application from one server to another with all relevant objects (like Business rule, Calc, Substitution variable, Rule file, cache settings etc.
Which is better choice?
How to use copyapp utility for moving planning application and objects.

In my opinion I don't like the CopyApp utility and it has been dropped anyway in version 11, some people have had success with it so it is just my opinion but you may have a good experience with it.
You should give it a trial and see if it is good for you, It doesn't copy business rules
Also are you happy with this post? :- migrate planning application without migrating Provisioning information

MobileMe and apple ID migration plan and online file / data storage

Ok, I've not been brave enough to get started yet but I have a plan and a question to put to those who have moved from MobileMe to iCloud.
I have a mobile me account and a separate apple id. I have used the apple id for iTunes and app store purchases both on ios Devices and mac computers.
I use mobile me for syncing iCal, keychain, bookmarks, contacts etc and for iDisk which is where I keep my main Documents folders/files so that I can access them and work on them from anywhere already.
I visited the Genius bar at my local apple store today and they advised me to use the apple id for the iCloud update not MobileMe as this would enable the software to auto update etc across all my devices whereas the MobileMe upgrade to iCloud wouldn't.
So, my plan is ....
1) Offline back ups of everything first!
2) turn off mobile me syncing on all devices
3) upgrade to iCloud using apple id and create new me.com account in the process
4) repopulate new iCloud account with all bookmarks, keychains, contacts, iCal etc from desktop running lion os.
5) switch on iCloud syncing on other devices using new account
Does this make any sense?
The other question I had relates to all the .pdf, .ppt, .doc, .xl, .jpg files I have backed up online on my iDisk. Can I copy these into my 5gb iCloud account and uses the same file directory etc to access these files from all my devices via iCloud?
Or will I need dropbox to do this?

I'm no expert. I found your question whilst looking for clues on how best to start migrating from separate apple-id (for iTunes and app store purchases) and mobile me (for data sync) accounts.
If you intend to use iTunes in the cloud and have app store software installed on your pc then I have been told today in apple store that the auto software updates will only work if you upgrade that apple id to iCloud and keep that.
What I am thinking of doing is then using my desktop to repopulate all my old mobile me data into this new account and new mobile me email. This way I could always go back to the old MobileMe account (until June 2012) if anything goes wrong. I can forward the old mobile me email to the new a/c too

I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

That's not easy. The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.

I know my back up exists I can see it on disk utility but migration and disc utility wont work to restore my back up on my new hard drive it shows up with the message "this disk is already in use" i am so done. someone pls help me

I know my back up exists I can see it on disk utility but migration and disc utility wont work to restore my back up on my new hard drive it shows up with the message "this disk is already in use" i am so done. someone pls help me

Otherwise software may be attempted to access the drive. The the computer up in Safe Mode by holding shift when you turn it on. Also be sure to power off and on the hard drive itself.

My 10.6 Upgrade and OD Migration plan

Hi, I wish to share my 10.6 upgrade/migration plan in order to get feedback/comments from people who may have insight/experience doing the same and thus be able to offer advice as to whether my plan is solid or if there's anything I should add/change and any potential pitfalls.
Background:
We have:
200 x clients
1 x OD/Mail/Firewall/PrimaryDNS/etc server - 10.5.8 (hereafter referred to as ODS1)
1 x File Server - 10.5.5 (hereafter referred to as FS1)
(current 80GB HDDs in these servers to be upgraded to 1TB)
Reason for upgrade is ODS1 causes all kinds of issues:
- OD seems to be corrupt (people sometimes can't log in, accounts can't be deleted in workgroup manager)
- Mail service only comes up sometimes at random intervals upon restart (i.e. sometimes takes half an hour, sometimes won't come up for a whole day or not at all.)
Unable to solve these issues and decided to upgrade this server to 10.6.7 in the hopes of solving problems. We will also move OD to a separate virtual machine in the process - theory being that if OD has problems we can restart the server without affecting Mail and vice versa.
Restrictions on upgrade:
ODS1 is an XServe with two network cards (external and internal interfaces for Firewall) and Mail Store & User Directories is on Fibre Channel attached XServe RAID which means:
- I don't want to buy another fibre channel card so Mail Service has to remain on this XServe unless I move the mail store
- FW preferably to stay on here because this XServe has 2 network interfaces.
Luckily, very few users use the servers on the weekend so I don't have to worry about taking servers down for the upgrade.
Plan:
1. Prepare our new 10.6.7 Open Directory Master. This will be a virtual machine running through Parallels Bare Metals on an XServe
Set hostname “ldap.ourcompany.com”.
Set static IP address
Install all the latest updates.
Set up as DNS master – import all entries, but change ldap.ourcompany.com to point to this machine.
Set up Open Directory Master with correct SearchBase, etc.
Disable any other services that we don’t need.
2. Export Users and Groups from ODS1 through Workgroup Manager
3. Import Users and Groups to new server through Workgroup Manager
3.5. Run script to set all passwords from our list (Yes I have a list - and I know this is not best practice)
4. Test: by binding a new computer to this server and logging in with a user account set up on this server.
5. Backup
Make a backup copy of the new OD Master virtual machine.
On ODS1 and FS1, export all settings from Server Admin onto a thumb drive
Make an archive of Open Directory onto a thumbdrive (Server Admin -> Open Dir -> Archive Tab)
Copy from ODS1 onto some external HDD: Mail store and home directories locted on Fibre Channel attached storage
Run mailbfr –b /Path/to/backup/volume –full
Clone ODS1 HDD onto 1TB HDD using a caddy
Clone FS1 HDD onto 1TB HDD using a caddy
Remove HDD’s in ODS1 and FS1 and replace with clones and blank 1TB HDDs.
Implement new OD Master
6. Update ldap.ourcompany.com DNS entry to point to new server.
7. On ODS1, change Open Directory Role to Replica.[2]
8. On FS1, reconfigure Open Directory Replica.
9. On ODS1, change DNS role to replica and point tonew OD/DNS Master[3]
10. On FS1, change DNS replica to point to new DNS
11. On FS1, change DHCP to supply new DNS serveraddresses.
12. Test:
DHCP supplied LDAP on new computer.
Mail
Logging into accounts from existing computers
AFP
13. Backup again (so if next step fails we have at least achieved setting up new OD server)
Clone FS1 and ODS1 to blank internal 1TB drives.
Swap HD and Backup drive names and change start-up disk in System Prefs to newly named HD disk on both FS1 and ODS1, and restart, effectively testing the clones.
14. Upgrade ODS1 to 10.6.7
15. Change ODS1 DNS role to replica and point to newOD Master so that it has a working DNS service during the upgrade process.
16. Upgrade ODS1 to 10.6.7 in-place with CD
17. Check Mail settings before starting it.
18. Test:
Mail
Logging into accounts
Firewall
DNS Replica
VPN
Our Company custom scripts previously handled by Lingon (Any alternative to Lingon in 10.6?)
iChat
iCal
Software Update
WebMail
19. Point new OD Master’s Software Update to upgraded ODS1
20. Go Home!
Any advice?

Ok modified new plan, changes include:
- FS1 gets upgraded to 10.6 as well
- no "backup again" done - this will never be a point we roll back seeing that 10.5 can't be replica of 10.6
- software update added
- clean installs rather than in-place upgrades so that we start afresh and hopefully not importing the many problems we were facing on 10.5
- other little changes
Everthing up to before the "Upgrade FS1" section is done in normal working hours while clients are using the servers and from then onwards, on a weekend.
Prepare our new 10.6 Open Directory Master virtualmachine
Set hostname to “ldap.ourcompany.com”.
Set static IP address 192.168.30.30
Install all the latest updates.
Set up as DNS master – import all entries, butchange ldap.ourcompany.com to point to this machine.
Set up Open Directory Master with correct SearchBase, etc.
Disable any other services that we don’t need.
Export Users and Groups from ODS1 through Workgroup Manager
Import Users and Groups to new server
Run script to set all passwords
Change Home Directories to “None” or if this fails, to a location on the local HDD. (We use mobile accounts - ideally we need managed local accounts, nothing gets synced to server, so hopefully server home folders are not necessary - in 10.5 it didn't seem to work without having a server home set with a directory full of empty folders.)
Change software update managed settings in Workgroup Manager to: http://ods1.ourcompany.com:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog This will only work after ODS1's 10.6 upgrade is complete
Test: by binding a new computer to this server and logging in with a user account set up on this server.
Backup
Make a backup copy of the new OD Master virtualmachine.
On ODS1 and FS1, export all settings from ServerAdmin onto a thumb drive
Make an archive of Open Directory onto a thumbdrive (Server Admin -> Open Dir -> Archive Tab)
Document all settings on ODS1 and FS1 by takingscreen shots of each pane in Server Admin and RAID Admin for easy referencewhen later setting up the new 10.6 ODS1.
On FS1, document all file shares and permissions
Copy from ODS1: /Volumes/Xserve User RAID and/Volumes/Xserve_Mail_RAID onto external HDD.
Copy from ODS1: /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/ to thumbdrive (required for migrating mail later)
Run mailbfr –b /Path/to/backup/volume –full
Clone FS1 and ODS1 HD drives to the internal BUdrives.
Make FS1 file shares backup (on separate XRAID)
Upgrade FS1
Remove HDD’s in FS1 and replace with 3 blank 1TB HDDs.
Install 10.6 from DVD.
Install latest updates.
Configure as per previously documented screenshots, but with the following changes:
Make it a replica of the new OD Master instead of ODS1
Add a secondary DNS zone pointing to new DNS server
Configure its DHCP to provide new LDAP server
Set all correct file share permissions aspreviously documented.
Test:
Attempt to connect to every volume with various different users to test that correct permissions are being applied.
Turn many client computers on to test if correct DHCP settings are received.
Upgrade ODS1
Do a fresh install of 10.6
Set up all services using documented screenshots, but OD and DNS will be replica instead of Master.
Migrate Mail store by renaming mail folder onthe XRAID to oldmail, then issuing this command: sudo/usr/libexec/dovecot/migrate_mail_data.pl —moveMail 0 —cyrusBin "/Volumes/thumb_driveXXXX" --database "/Volumes/X-SERVE_Mail_RAID/oldmail/imap"--sourceSpool "/Volumes/X-SERVE_Mail_RAID/oldmail/spool/imap"--targetSpool "/Volumes/X-SERVE_Mail_RAID/mail/spool/imap/dovecot/mail"
Test:
afp://ods1.ourcompany.com./
Logging into accounts
Start up all computers in the office to makesure mail, managed prefs, DNS, DHCP, etc. work for all computers.
Firewall
DNS Replica by setting up a computer with staticIP
VPN

Business Object Planning and Consolidation&Business Planning and Consold...

Hi Friends
Please can you advise me on the difference between
Business Object Planning and Consolidation and Business Planning and Consolidation
for both the topics, SAP provides short name as BPC
*Thank you and Kindest regards
Srikaanth*

Hi,
Basically, there is no difference. Till the version 7.0, it was called business planning and consolidation. From 7.5 ,its called business objects planning and consolidation.

Difference between COPC planning and cost object controlling

I want to know why do we have to calculate the cost of a manufactured product by both COPC planning and Cost object controlling by order?
Will the cost of a manufactured product be different in COPC planning method and cost object controlling method?
if we use only cost object controlling to calculaute the cost of a manufactured product without using COPC planning wht will be the implications?

Raja,
Yes the cost can be different. The cost calculating thorught Product Cost Planning may be static, you calculate it by period it is more for planning prupose ans to set standard. The cost calculated through Cost Object Controlling is resulting from your actual transactions, and the are few variables that could increase or decrease the cost of product. For example the overhead cost (Increase of salaries) can directly affect your activity rate at the work center and impact cost of your product when the production order is complete. You need both costs (Cost Planning and Cost Object releated) so at the end of the period you can calculate variance betweeen your plan cost and your actual costs.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.

Migrate planning application without migrating Provisioning information

Hi,
Is it possible to migrate just Planning application and other Hyperion objects without provisioning information. which we can assign as per new requirement.
will it work or need to migrate provisioning information first then we can change later as per our requirement.
This time MSAD Provider should connect with different host.
Please advice.

I understand that planning application contain provisioning information of Planning application in shared services and should be migrated along with Planning.
My question was:
Is it possible to migrate planning application only and then i should able to either re provisioning everything from scratch for migrated planning as we had bad experience with existing provisioning.
though i have seen some option of update/delete in CSSImport (importexport.properties)
please advice.

Upgrade/Migrate Planning application from 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3

I have installed 11.1.2.3 on Window 2008 R2 servers. Our old environment is on 11.1.1.1 is still up and running on different server(windows 2003). I have successfully completed the following:
1.     All Hyperion products (HSS,BIPLUS,CALC MGR,EPMA,Planning,FDME installed successfully and everything working fine.
2.     I am able migrate the all FR reports successfully(Export/Import method) and Yet to test the reports after application migration.
3.     I created Planning apps in the new system which is similar to old application , I can open the Planning Application Administrator via WorkSpace URL.
My question :1) Can i migrate Planning repository DB schema from SQL server 2005 to New application schema on SQL server 2008.
                            (There is any update required before and all the repository table of 11.1.2.3 similar to 11.1.1.1
                   2) How can i migrate the Business rules to Calc manager(.i.e 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3)
                   3)How can i migrate the FDM application (.i.e 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3)
Please let me know if you need any further information.

First of all 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3 direct migration is not supported so if you have issue upgrading planning then unfortunately that may be the reason.
SQL Server 2005 to 2008 should be ok but if you are concerned then upgrade the sql server 2005 version to 11.1.2.3 then use LCM to change database versions.
Business Rules read the following support doc - "Hyperion Business Rules (HBR) to Calculation Manager Migration White Paper (Doc ID 1528121.1)"
FDM - Upgrade utility.

How to migrating planning applications version 9.2.0 to 11.1.1.3 directly

Hi All
Please help.
Can be migrated Planning applications from version 9.2.0 to version 11.1.1.3 directly?
There is documentation that explains the process?
Attentive to your comments
Regards
Pedro
Edited by: user13040806 on 06-feb-2013 5:48

Hi Pedro,
The quick way, assuming you are using Classic Planning Administration in 11.1.1.3 is to export the application schema and Essbase data & objects from the 9.2.0 environment and import into the new environment.
Thanks,
Andy

**** Migration of Custom Objects in R12 ****

Hello All,
We have to migrate our custom objects from 11i to 12.
I have no idea or document on this.
Please answer on
a) is it possible to migrate our custom objects from 11i to 12 ???
b) since R12 is java based, do we need to create custom objects from scratch ???
Example 11i is using a rdf report, so how this will be migrated ??? or we need to create some jaba based report in R12 ????
c) ALso about forms - are they JSP pages in R12???
Please reply .
Thanks
Anand

Anand,
Your work demands much more analysis. Migration will depend on a lot many factors like the kind of objects you have used, whether the customization done on a page/form has changed or not, any functionality/seeded code/database object changes which might directly affect your customizations.
One thing for sure is that mod pl/sql is not supported by oracle in R12.
rdf reports should be fine. some forms have been converted to OAF pages.
You will have to go through the readme of technology patches and product patches for a complete analysis.

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed.

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed but it still kept getting stuck on the apple loading screen.

You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
get a new hard drive installed inside.
Good luck & happy computing!

How to remove file path location listings from photos and objects in Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF?

After converting a windows-based Powerpoint 2007 presentation to an Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF, the file path location of all photos and objects are shown in a dialogue box when the cursor is moved over the image as seen in this screenshot below. How can I stop this from happening and remove this feature on my pdf documents?

I saw that referenced on a forum, but it does not seem to address the issue I am having.
As per Adobe Acrobat X Standard * What’s new, the equivalent to the "Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information" utility found in Acrobat X Standard is the same as the "Document > Examine Document" feature in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Those tools seem to cover meta data, book marks, hidden text, and deleted or cropped content, but not the file path listings that appear on images and objects converted from Powerpoint presentations and other MS Office programs.
I have reviewed the settings used while creating a pdf, and have also tried the “Advanced > Preflight tool”, but could not find anything to apply to the issue at hand.
Thus, this issue has not been resolved, but seems like it should be an easy fix that anyone who publishes pdf documents would want to use to publish clean, professional documents without anyone seeing the file path location of every object and image shown in the document on their hard drive.

Transferring Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning Level

Hi all,
We are implementing SAP IS-U for a water suplly company and we have a process in which an Installation is transferred from a Business Partner to another. For this we are using the Move-in / Move-Out functionality (trx EC60).
So far, so good. The problem is that we also should transfer also the Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning level to the new Business Partner and new Contract Account.
The questions is: can we transfer these automatically?
We thought in different scenarios in case this is not possible, so I would appreciate if you can give us an opinion:
1 - Use FP40 transaction and transfer FICA elements manually
2 - Create a FOP process to perform step by step the process from CIC0. The only problem I have found is that there is not any object that allows me to transfer the open items. Does it exist? If not, this option is not valid
3 - Use the "Change CUstomer" Functionality. Did you have any experience using this funcionalidty? The main issue I have with this is that the system generates a dummy invoice, the Move in Date is in the future, and the Account must be closed.
Please any information will be very helpful. Thank you very much in advance!
Best Regards,
Lucas

Hi Lucas,
You can transfer the open items and the dunning level manually to the new BP and CA through transaction code FP40.
You need to maintain the following configuration settings in the posting area 1055-
Curr-Currency of the Cocd
Clearing Reason-Clearing reason used for transfer
Document Type-Document Type used for Transfer
Only all items- blank
Credit-X
Transfer DL-X
Moreover, you cannot transfer Instalment Plans through FP40, as instalment plan items are statistical in nature.
Hope it clarifies.....
Thanks,
Amlan
