DMA options when upgrading on new MCS hardware

Hi,
Customer has Publisher and a single Subscriber running version 4.1.3 SR1.
Customer requires upgrade to 6.1.2 using new MCS hardware. I want to make sure that I use the correct method for
upgrading to 6.1.2 on the new servers.
This is an overview of how I plan to carry out the upgrade:
1) Backup existing Publisher database using BARS
2) Install 4.1.3 SR1 on one of the new MCS servers which will be the Publisher
3) Install BARS on the new MCS server (using same version of BARS that was used to backup
current Publisher database in step 1)
4) Use BARS Restore to restore the database of the existing Publisher onto the new one.
5) Install DMA on the new Publisher MCS server.
6) Run DMA to export data from new Publisher.
Is the above the correct way to export data from the current Publisher
I'm wondering (that instead of carrying out the above method) if I should export the data directly from the existig Publisher ie by installing DMA on the existing Publisher then running DMA export. This would save me a lot
of time as it means that I don't need to carry out steps 2) to 6). I don't know if this is a feasable option.
Please could anybody who has done this type of upgrade advise me on which method they used for DMA?
Are both methods feasable - I could not find any details on CCO
Thanks
Gurmakh

You cannot use BARS for this
I just did this:
1) Install DMA on current Publisher - requires reboot
2) Run DMA on current publisher - Note the publisher cannot do any call processing during this time - Took me about an hour and a half. Note that if there are errors you may have to fix them before you can use the file and rerun DMA. If you get errors I would open a TAC case to see if they need fixing.
3) Put the DMA output file from step 2 on an FTP server (I think you can also burn it to CD)
4) Use the 6.1(2) to start the install on the new hardware. During install it will ask you if you want to import old data, say yes and point it at the location of the data
5) Complete the install
6) Your done...

  • When upgrading to new version of itunes program won't open says MSCR80.dll is missing and to reinstall

    when upgrading to newest version of itunes, it will not open due to MSVCR80.dll is missing. it says to reinstall which I did but program still will not open.

    Hey there dstenn,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after a recent update. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • App.open options when opening a newer version photoshop file by an older version of photoshop, App.open options when opening a newer version photoshop file by an older version of photoshop

    So, where I work, we have a script that handles all of our heavy lifting.  This script is running on CS6, and all of the users are running CC 2014.  Now when the CS6 machine opens a document with any type of vector object from CC 2014 it throws a dialog box asking if I want to flatten, cancel, or Keep layers.  I do have DISPLAYDIALOGS.NO set at the top of this script. 
    I under stand scripting quite well, but I'm just not sure if there are app.open options to tell this to keep layers.  Also, I'm pretty sure a try catch block will not work, becuase this dialog appears before the image is actually pixels on the screen. 
    When the script generates our web images I've tried to flatten the document right after its opened and I still see this dialog.  Any help would be super appreciated.
    Thank you!

    app.open will encounter problems that you really have no control over so you get an annoying dialog that you can't do anything with. The one that caused me the most grief is when a script tries to open a corrupt jpg image. IMNSHO, app.open should throw an Exception if it can't open the file and DisplayDialogs.NO is set. That way you can log the filename and deal with it later.
    Bottom line is that there is nothing you can do in JS. One thing I have done in the past was use a utility like AutoKey on Windows that looks for these dialogs and automatically responds to them so you can continue processing. I'm fairly certain there is something similar available for OS X.

  • Different contact options when creating a new text message

    Hi all,
    On my Q10, I have the following "issue":
    When I want to type a new sms message to somebody listed in my contacts, I get not only the mobile phone number linked to that contact person but also e-mail addresses, fixed number...
    Is there any way I can change a setting for this so that only mobile numbers are displayed while creating a new text message (SMS)? Fixed phone number and mail addresses are just not relevant.
    On the other hand, when I want to create a new e-mail, I only see the mail addresses of my contact I am sending to.
    In my blackberry HUB I have following account (most probably the reason why I see other contact details while creating new text messages):
    Mail
    Facebook
    LinkedIn
    Please advise.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,

  • "None" is not an option when setting up new iTunes account

    When you google the words, 'itunes without a credit card' the first result is: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 which says that all you have to do is download a free app, then agree to the terms and conditions and choose your country then....
    Select "none" as you payment method.
    I've been looking for a solution for this everywhere and I keep finding conflicting reports, but I can tell you with certainty that "none" is not listed when I try this method.
    So with that in mind, can anyone tell me how to set up an itunes account (for my daughter if that makes a difference) without entering a credit card? I don't want my daughter to be able to spend hundreds of pounds in the app store.
    I am so frustrated by this that I will send £10 paypal to the person who gives me the solution.

    My daughter will have to ask me to gift her apps which means I have the control over the spending.
    You can get her an iTunes gift card or set up an allowance.
    The method that I have described is still useful for people who do not want to associate a credit card with an iTunes account
    The method as shown in the article does that also. And your way the user needs an existing iTunes account with a CC linked to it to gift an app.
    since for 69p they are able to get around that
    The idea is that no CC or money is needed to create an account for free apps (and iTunes artwork).
    I have forwarded a suggestion to the forum hosts and asked them to review the article and add to make sure the user logs out when using an iPhone to create a new account (as is shown for the computer).
    However, glad you got it all sorted!

  • Error when upgrading to newer versions of iTunes

    I currently have version 7.1.1.5 of iTunes installed on my windows PC. I have tried numerous times to install the upgraded recently 7.3 version without any luck.
    Evrytime I double click on the executable file, it starts the install but then stops and tells me that it can't find the specified drive to install to. I've upgraded to a newer hdd less than 6 months ago and have named them differently. Why wouldn't iTunes let me CHOOSE where I would like to install it to instead of assuming that everyone will be downloading and installing to "C" drive or anything else? Is there any way around this?
    I am unable to upgrade b/c it is looking to install to my "J" drive which is a drive I no longer have!!
    Please help

    "Invalid Drive J:\"
    I haven't had a drive labeled J since my last hdd died. I've since upgraded and changed the name to "C" drive. My iTunes is installed on my K drive which is my external hdd that connects via USB

  • Aperture cannot locate master files when upgrading to new OS X Leopard

    I have recently upgraded to Leopard from Tiger. The problem I have encountered is that when trying to locate the master files of my pictures, Aperture cannot because it thinks my files are in my hard drive located in my previous OS X and that the volume is not mounted. I cannot 'Relocate Masters for Projects' or bring my masters back online since it is the hard drive I am currently running Leopard. Does anyone else have this problem and possibly a resolution? Thank you very much.

    I had a similar problem, and this how I fixed this.
    Select all the files, and either select "Manage Referenced Files" from the File menu or from the contextual menu when you right click the selected files. Use the dialogue that appears to navigate to your master files [make sure that "Show only Files Not Found" is NOT selected] and reconnect your files. If you have files in a number of albums/projects/folders this may take some time.
    Quit Aperture, and if a dialogue shows up saying that it is updating previews DON'T SELECT CANCEL. When you re-launch Aperture everything should be fine.

  • I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

    I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

    I see.  Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not.  You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out. 
    To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.  You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from.  To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below).  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
    If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them.  Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
    If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier.  Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

  • Recently when creating a new blank page, application freezes. have been using for years without a problem. Upgrade?

    recently when creating a new blank page, application freezes. have been using for years without a problem. Upgrade?

    When something that used to work stops doing so, the most likely culprit is corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Or you can choose Go to Folder from the Go menu in Finder & paste this line in the box:
    ~/Library/Preferences

  • I recently bought a WD My Book Live to backup using Time Machine, now that I've upgraded to and my old NAS won't support Mountain Lion. The WD drive appears in the Finder, it doesn't appear as an option when setting up the backup disc in Time Machine.

    " now that I've upgraded to and my old NAS won't support Mountain Lion. "
    Do you have a few words missing in the original question ?.
    When i upgraded from LION to MOUNTAIN LION it made NO difference at all to my MyBook Live !!!
    reading the original post again and again, do you in fact have two My Book Live units, an old one and a new one ?

  • "New Project" choose option & when choose new, "Electric Guitar" -nothing!

    Hi, Please would someone help me figure this GB preview/problem out?!
    GB was fine for a few months, new computer etc but then...
    here it is:
    One day when I opened GB, i selected 'electric guitar' icon option in the 'new project' section where you can choose 'software instrument',
    'real instrument' and 'electric guitar' options
    to start the project off with, clicked 'choose' and nothing happened.
    So i chose a normal one and went in and tried to get up a 'new track' and selected 'electric guitar' from there, but nothing. No amps or pedals anywhere in the right hand list section. Normal/software tracks opened and worked ok.
    Now there are no icons/options in the 'new project' window,
    at all!
    It's dark grey - but if i double click on the 'new project' button on left list,
    it brings up a basic style project name/signature/tempo etc window and then when it opens - does with software track.
    So if i choose 'new track' from Track menu and select 'electric guitar' from the drop down preview tab thing w pictures like the preview thing used to be on the 'new project' window used to have, it doesn't do anything 'cept bring up the keyboard...
    All the 'magic' and 'learn to play' etc options come up with preview choice/options when clicked but not 'New Project'.
    Any ideas anyone?! This is what i've tried so far:
    1. i've deleted garageband plists except the one that says "com.apple.garageband.LSSharedFileList.plist" cus i don't know what that one is exactly -
    Is it safe to delete it?!
    2. repaired permissions
    3. Thought about other apps that might be causing probs - uninstalled a Guru drum thing -still no luck-
    4. in the library and i can't find 'electric guitar' folder
    in any of the application support folders...
    5. and wondered - I installed a retail copy of Logic Express 8
    so i thought perhaps that was something to do with it...
    can't remember if that was around the same time - maybe - but
    it's so difficult to use and i'm learning it o so slowly - i really need my faithful ole GB to work
    in the meantime!!
    Would appreciate any info/ similar experiences, solutions etc,
    before i resort to a GB re-install from disc
    (if that's possible from the ones that came with the computer, perhaps...???)
    Thanks in advance for helping a girl with a guitar
    who doesn't want to **** her neighbours off....

  • Most of the time when i click my magic mouse on an item it gives me options like back, open new page, etc.

    When I try to use my magic mouse, most of the time it won't open an item but instead will give me options like: back, open new page, open link in new window, and I am actually on top of for instance, the comment field in facebook...It takes several attempts of clicking off the entire page to get it to just open the link or respond appropriately...

    the mouse performs a right click instead of a left click. Check your mouse preferences in the system settings.

    I am in the same boat. I tried repeatedly to contact iTunes support, but was told each time that I had contacted the wrong deaprtment and they could not help me. There must be a way to still be able to use the iTunes store without paying for a system update. If not, I hope they will reimburse me the money I have in my acount.

    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari.
    If it's not Extensions, check for third party Safari add ons.

    When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.
