Do we install PT8.5 on existing release of PT for an upgrade?

Hi All,
This is our first upgrade experience and we are a bit confused with the steps we should follow to upgrade PT. We are on 8.47 and planning to upgrade to 8.50. After reading the installation notes and other material, there is a bit of confusion on the first step. Which of the following steps is a better/correct way to follow:
1. Install PT 8.5 on top of our current PT 8.47 (DEMO)
2. Install Change Assistant 8.5
3. Use the delivered Upgrade template in CA 8.5 to upgrade a copy of Production Database to 8.5 (Of course we will take into consideration our own customizations)
4. Repeat step#3 for various tests and for the final move to production.
OR
1. Use the delivered Upgrade template in CA 8.47 to upgrade current DEMO database to 8.5.
2. Follow the same procedure for a copy of Production Database (Of course we will take into consideration our own customizations).
Thanks much in advance.

I opened a case with Oracle and this is what I was told:
1. Install the Media pack CDs for Peopletools 8.5 in the existing DEMO Database/Environment.
2. Configure Change Assistant, App designer etc
3. Upgrade to 8.5 using the change Assistant Template.

Will installing Snow Leopard erase existing data already on my computer

My Software is at 10.5.8 and I'm about to install Snow Leopard (pretty behind on the updates). My question is: Will installing this erase my existing data on my computer? I have a lot of .ai files and such I need for my business that I have to keep. I have an external hard drive that I just backed up on using time machine but I'm not 100% trustworthy of that.

How to Install Snow Leopard Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your OS X Installer DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal
startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
1. If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
2. You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. Update to 10.6.8:
1. Download and install update: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

Want to change my existing Release strategy for - PR, PO & Service Entry

Hallow Experts ,
Here i have a requirement to change the existing Release strategy for Purchase Requisitions, Purchase Order and Service Entry sheet. Already There are unreleased Purchase Requisitions and Purchase Orders in Production system with the existing Release strategy.
1. My Query is Before making change in Existing release strategy, should I need to release all PR and PO with unreleased status.
2. In PO scenario is like this, we have 4 purchacing groups and 4 document types(ZLOC,ZIMP,ZSER,NB) in release strategy, we need to add one more purchasing group that is to be aplicable to my service PO(ZSER) only . so should I need to creat another stretegy for the same, or I can add in the same strategy
thanks in advance.

Sub: Our Client wants to change the existing Release procedure.

Dear Friends,
Requirement:
Our requirement is to remove one of the Release Code from the existing release sequences, with out affecting the old Purchase Orders.(including Released and Partially Released)
Changes we done:
Once we remove the specific release Code and found that it affects all the Purchase Orders (both Released and Partially Released) which are relevant to this removed code.
Is there any other way to do this changes with out affecting the old Purchase orders (we don't have Work flow in the Release Strategy).
Regards,
Dhan

Hi,
If you want to change the release code, then what are the open order which or not released and in process make sure those PO's are released then you can change the release code.
Else System wouldnt allow you to process further, then you need to create new PO's, So avoiding this first release all the open PO's and partial release PO's then you do change the release code.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhanush.

Help needed to install Flash Player : 'Non-Current Release' problem!

I been encountering problems while trying to install Flash Player on my laptop running Windows 7.
Originally Flash Player does not work as I understand it is not supported on 64-bit Internet Explorer.
After installing 32-bit IE, the following issue of 'non-latest version' arises and all installation were aborted by the application :
The below were steps I had taken to no success.
1. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded flash player un-install program and did the uninstallation with success.
2. Rebooted the laptop.
3. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded the flash player version 10.0.45.2 from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
4. After downloading it automatically did the installation with 100% completion.
5. The program proceeded to activate the flash player with a webpage saying if the flash player is working properly, I should see a video and Flash Player's logo.
6. Before anything was displayed, an error message popped up to say I was trying to install a non-current version and that I should go to same webpage to download the latest version. The activation was then aborted.
Tried many times but always encountered same problem and hence cannot proceed to use the flash player.
Need assistance to diagnose the problem and to get Flash Player working on my laptop. Appreciate any help to get it working.
Regards.

Thanks to efforts of eidnolb and Bob, the installation of flash player into my laptop is now working .
Bob's installer enabled the download successfully.
Eidnolb's link in post 6 trigggered me that I may have previously installed the pre-release version 10.1, thereby leading to the 'non-current-version' problem too. Post in that link adviced to uninstall 10.1 using the pre-release uninstaller.
I suggest others who had encountered this non-current release to uninstall first using that specific uninstaller, before attempting to install the most current release. I may have installed the 10.1 pre-release in desperation after failing numerous times trying to figure out why flash player does not install in browser not knowing its currently-non-support of 64-bit browser.
Once again thanks for support, eidnolb and Bob.
Cheers.

Suggestion for installing 11gr2 crs with existing 10g crs...

Hi, I need suggestions on installing 1120 rac on suse 11 where already 10g rac with asm is running. I need to upgrade the 10g crs and asm while installing 11g crs. Pls share your experience on these
1- what are the challenges to run 10g database on 11gr2 crs? is this suggested?
2- challenges to upgrade asm and crs to 11gr2.
3- can we use 2 asm instance in 11g grid infra to manage 10g and 11g db separately.
4-what could be back strategy for this kind of setup? RMAN?
5-how many extra ip i need to install 11g crs with existing 10g crs . we plan to use 3 ip for scan.
Also if possible please share any doc for this kind upgrade
Thanks,
Abhai

1.) Yes this is o.k. Just see this MoS Note:
Pre 11.2 Database Issues in 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure Environment (Doc ID 948456.1)
2.) Well first only clusterware is upgraded. You will be asked if you want to upgrad ASM, but this is not mandatory at first.
You can use ASMCA later to switch ASM from 10.2 to 11.2 (this does not have to be done during upgrade).
3.) No you can only have 1 ASM running. So it is either 11.2 or 10.2 ASM. (However I suggest 11.2).
However you can/should have multiple diskgroups. One data and fra for the 11.2 databases where you set the rdbms.compatibility to 11.2 to use the new features, and one data an fra diskgroup for the 10.2 databases.
4.) As long as the compatibility setting of a diskgroup isn't changed, you can always switch ASM back to use 10.2 executables. (Just do a srvctl remove asm and add ASM).
Search this forum - there has been another thread about this.
Regarding fallback of clusterware => See installation guide.
5.) Mandatory are just 3 additional IPs for the SCAN.
Upgrade documentation see the installation guide of 11.2 GI.
Upgrade for ASM see Storage Admin Guide.
Upgrade to move OCR and Vote to ASM see Clusterware Admin Guide.
Upgrade to database see Database Upgrade Guide
Additionally look in MoS for the Upgrade Companion.

Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 - Yes or No???

Hello,
We are setting up a new OEM Grid 12c system on Linux x86-64. We want to use it to manage several stand-alone, non-RAC, non-ASM database machines. The docs are unclear - do we have to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 on any of the database machines, including the machine that will support the OEM repository database, or not? Again, no plans to run Oracle Restart or Oracle ASM or Oracle RAC on that machine or any others.
The docs are not clear and we need a definitive answer.
Thank you, TL

Hello, OTN gurus.
Thanks for your attention to my original post. However, I am asking about a specific installation package called "Oracle Grid Infrastructure", which is separate from OEM Grid 12c and Oracle Database, and is supposed to be installed in its own home directory before the Oracle database software is installed in its oracle_home. "Oracle Grid Infrastructure" is also supposed to be installed in a different oracle_home from the OEM 12c Agent and a different oracle_home from Oracle Database, under specific conditions.
The docs say that you need Oracle Grid Infrastructure installed first in order to implement Oracle Restart and Oracle ASM for the Database. Other docs say you also need it for OEM Grid software. The docs are confusing on this point. I do not need Oracle Restart or Oracle ASM. I want to avoid installing this separate product, called Oracle Grid Infrastructure if I can. Does anyone know if a simple environment of Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.3), managed by OEM 12c OMS and Agents, requires "Oracle Grid Infrastructure"?
Thanks, TL
