DR Test / Prep for Upgrade

Before going to ZCM11.1 I figured I would take the time to test DR our ZCM10.3a environment, then test an upgrade to 11.1. However I have expereinced an issue with bundles not being delivered from the server.
Our LIVE environment
External OEM sybase database
2 Primaries for content and roles All content uploaded to the content-repo
1 Primary for Reporting
For DR testing, I figured I could get away with
External Database and 1 primary.
Built a test lab with same IP addressing DNS resolution.
Backed up database and 1st ZCM primary server. Certificate backup, zenserver-backup
Built the database
Built the primary server
Ran zenserver-restore
Ran CAE import
Copied the database live
Copied content-repo live
Reset all services on database and ZCM primary
Verified rules that the only server with conent, auhentication role is this ZCM server.
Registered a new client content that requires a registry key or launch command works. All content that requires downloading fails, saying unable to contact the zenworks server, when I look in the logs I see it mentioning the zc file it want to download. I get a bad entry, If I review the location on the server its there. But the URL doesn't work.
Anyone expereinced similar issues, maybe a step I've missed. I'm reluctant to patch the server to ZCM11.1 until this issue is resolved.
Steve

I forgot the most basic thing, when restoring the content remember to reset the file ownership back to zenworks:zenworks.
chown -R zenworks:zenworks path to content.

Test plan for upgrading the support packs

Dear friends,
We are going to upgrade the BI system with SP18.
Please let me know the impact system will be facing with this upgrade and the test plan to take care after the upgrade.
With Regards

Hi,
it will helps hopeful,
Upgradation steps:
1) Convert Data Classes of InfoCubes. Set up a new data class as described in SAP OSS Note 46272.
2) Pay attention to the naming convention. Execute the RSDG_DATCLS_ASSIGN report.
3) Run the report RSUPGRCHECK to activate objects.
4) Upgrading ABAP and JAVA in parallel may cause issues. If there is no custom development on J2EE instance, it is recommended to drop the J2EE instance and re-install the latest J2EE instance after the upgrade.
5) Apply SAP OSS Note 917999 if you include the Support Patch 6 with the upgrade or you will get the error at PARCONV_UPG phase. When you upgrade to a product containing Basis 700, the phase PARCONV_UPG terminates. You included Basis Support Packages up to package level 6 (SAPKB70006) in the upgrade. The job RDDGENBB_n terminates with the error RAISE_EXCEPTION. In addition to this, the syslog contains the short dump TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED. The program SDB2FORA terminates in the statement "LOOP AT stmt_tab". An endless loop occurs when the system creates the database table QCM8TATOPGA.
6) Apply the OSS note 917999 if you get the following error during PARCONV_UPG phase: PARCONV_UPG terminates with TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOG_FAILED

FIXED: I now have a Trial/Test License for Upgrade Test in Lab

I have a couple DMM servers at version 5.2.3, and I need to test the ability of 5.4 to work with our InformaCast Server. I installed the 5.4 VM on ESXi, but I need a license to get the VM to send media output to a DMP in my lab setup. I currently have 60 DMP licenses (30, plus 10 pack, plus another 10 pack), but I'm only using 39 of them, so maybe I could use one of my 10 packs which are currently on my production DMM server -- assuming I could later UNinstall them from the lab and put them back on my production box?
UPDATE: I have the license now. I think I should probably post a separate discussion thread now, because I realize I need to have the DMP on the same major version of software, but I'm not sure if I can downgrade after an upgrade to a DMP (in case the server is not going to work for us, at the new version).
Message was edited by: Paul Richardson

You can downgrade a DMP the same way you upgrade it. Just select the older version of code for your player when you have finished testing in your lab environment.

Step by step procedure for Upgrade to ECC6.0

Hi,
I gained a lot from this forum . Can someone please mail me at
[email protected]
step by step procedure for upgrade .
Will award full points for helpful documents..
With regards,
Mrinal

SAP defined a roadmap for upgrade.
1) Project Preparation
Analyze the actual situation
Define the objectives
Create the project plan
Carry out organizational preparation for example identify the project team
2)Upgrade Blueprint
The system and components affected
The mapped business processes
The requirements regarding business data
3)Upgrade Realization -- In this phase the solution described in the design phase is implemented in a test environment. This creates a pilot system landscape, in which the processes and all their interfaces can be mapped individually and tested on the functional basis.
4)Final Preparation for Cutover -- Testing, Training, Minimizing upgrade risks, Detailed upgrade planning
5)Production Cutover and Support
The production solution upgrade
Startup of the solutions in the new release
Post processing activities
Solving typical problems during the initial operation phase.
SAP expects at least 2 to 3 months for Upgrade and that again depends on project scope and complexity and various other factors.
STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
     Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
     Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary objects that have been modified by the client. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
     After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified. This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
     Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
     Then we need to move Z/Y Objects. Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is
     Includes
     Function Groups / Function Modules
     Programs / Reports
     OSS Notes
     SAP Repository Objects
     SAP Data Dictionary Objects
     Domains, Data Elements
     Tables, Structures and Views
     Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
     BDC Programs
     Print Programs
     SAP Scripts, Screens
     User Exits

BPA shows domain prepped for Exchange 2007 SP1 after SP3 install

Hello,
I have a Client with a domain that is at 2003 domain functional level and 2000 forest level.
The client had Exchange 2007 SP1 and I have just upgraded it to SP3. There is one CAS, one Hub Transport, and one Mailbox Server (All three had Exchange 2007 SP1).
The domain and forest were prepped earlier by someone else and when I ran the installation program, it didn't pop up any errors on any of the servers.
The upgrade to SP3 is in preperation to Exchange 2010. Everything is working ok. I have checked:
1) In ADSIEdit, Exchange System Objects properties: Object Version =11221.
2) In ADSIEdit, Services>Microsoft Exchange>Organization: Object Version =11222
3) In ADSIEdit, RangeUpper value of ms-Exch-Schema-Version-Pt object = 14625
However, When I run the Exchange BPA, it reports that the domain is prepped for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (In informational items). This is an informational item and not a warning or alert. However, I am concerned. Is this normal, and will it affect
the migration to Exchange 2010?
Thanks,
HA

Hello Ha20,
Based on my experience, it will not affect the migration. However, it’s recommended to prepare the schema again to avoid any potential issues.

Load Test Tools for CC&B 2.2?

We are evaluating four load test tools for CC&B 2.2. JMeter (Free), BadBoy (Free), TheGrinder3 (Free), Selenium (Free) and Loadrunner 9.5.1.
1) Does anyone out there have a load test success story to share? If so, be sure to mention which tool or tool combination.
2) Can anyone recommend another solution we might want to evaluate?
3) It appears none of these tools work "out of the box" with CC&B. GUI rendering mode fails ajax calls. Does anyone have a trick for working around/through this issue?
At this point, it appears the best options are:
1) Use a combination of JMeter and BadBoy. We record the gui navigation in BadBoy and run the script in JMeter. JMeter doesn't support https GUI capture, but it seems to be the better tool for running the scripts and analyzing the results. BOTH TOOLS ARE FREE.
2) Loadrunner VuGen. Fails on replay due to the ajax calls. Manual scripting is the only workaround found so far.
TheGrinder3 has no GUI replay. You can't watch the replay. Also, passwords are clear text.
Selenium only works with Firefox. LVVWD doesn't use/support firefox.
I should also mention that our criteria assumes minimal load testing in the near future and are trying very hard to avoid spending big $$$ for upgrade and maintenance fees.

My company used AppLoader to run tests through NRG Global. We didn’t have a lot of people to dedicate to the testing, so we paid NRG a consulting fee to do it for us (for surprisingly less than we thought!). We had them test a Citrix & .net client/server application (with 300 users) and an Apache web application with Ajax (150 users). AppLoader is protocol independent, so it worked just fine with both. Also, it tests from the front end, so you can watch the GUI replay. They also have password encryption, although we didn’t use it for our tests.
They were able to run the tests & get the data back to us quickly. We ended up with some failures & errors, but they gave us a detailed report with screenshots, logs & graphs which enabled us to find the problem, get it fixed and get our application up quickly. Turns out we had a memory leak. It was a relief to have the test done so fast, thorough & without the huge price tag. I spoke with the consultant there directly. She was very nice & helpful walking me through the results. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Need suggestions for upgrading discontinued site templates.

I'm currently working on migrating our MOSS 07 site to SharePoint 2013 (using 3rd party software). I have a site template that i'm not sure what i should convert/upgrade it too.
I have a Budgeting and Tracking Multiple Projects (PROJMULTI#0) site template. What would be an equivalent or similar template that I could convert this too?
Thanks

Most relevant test score for PPro CS5 to run on notebook?

Hi, I hope I didn't miss this topic anywhere in the forum. Since I am in the market for a new notebook to occasionally edit 3-5min clips of panasonic HMC 150 AVCHD material (most of the time just office work), I was wondering what the best and still affordable notebook (EUR 1500-1800) would be. Apart for a wide discussion of system requirements and recommendations I couldn't find what would be the most relevant test score to assess how well PPro CS5 is going to work. Some say you need to get a notebook for EUR 3000, some say one for EUR 1200 would still work - I guess it depends on how much you are going to edit and how much time you have. I was curious if there was such a score that serves as a guideline. For example, below you find such test scores for a Sony notebook. What would be the most informative as to whether and how well PPro CS5 will work. Any information is greatly appreciated.
btw: I would appreciate recommendations on these two notebooks

thank you very much for your answer. Do you think the following notebook would be suitable for occasional editing of 3-4min clips (we have got a desktop editing machine with i7, 12gb, nvidia gts250, and 4 7200 barracuda hdds)? so basically it should only be able to work as a backup editing machine in case two clips have to be finished at the same time. since there is only one hdd, I could put an sdd into it as well. and I could upgrade to 16gb ram. the reason, why this particular notebook is interesting for me, is that through a student discount I can get it for EUR 1,700 instead of EUR 2,500 (cheapest price on the market for this setup). I am aware that it won't be as fast as my desktop (which works spledidly with avchd!), but it should be faster than a retired snail overtaking during his afternoon nap ;-)
I would really appreciate your opinion on that one or from anybody else that has particular experiences with this notebook and avchd!
thanks

OCA/OCP Certification test prep

Need reccommendations for OCA/OCP test prep. White pages, software, books etc.
Thanks in advance.

You may choose whatever test preparation you feel more comfortable with. But I suggest you to setup a practical test environment where you can test all features according to the topic guide provided by oracle at the Oracle Certification site, you can find it by following the certification link at http://education.oracle.com . Besides I suggest you to document each topic with the official documentation manuals from oracle.

Recommendation for upgrading to R2

Trying to map out a plan for upgrading Service Manager 2012 SP1 RU2 to R2. All clients, whether installed locally on the workstation or via Citrix use the SP1 console. I believe all the clients are RTM SP1 so no rollups installed.
Servers are SP1 RU2 installed. We only have 4 servers. The Orchestrator which has already been upgraded to R2 because we don't use it now. The Data Warehouse, the Service Manager server itself and a self service portal on SharePoint.
Trying to figure out whether to upgrade the clients for and then servers or servers first and then circle back and upgrade clients. I tested the SP1 console again an R2 test sever and it seems to work just fine as does an R2 console against a Prod SP1 server.
Really confusing.
MS can't expect you to upgrade all your clients at once so there has to be compatibility between the product versions. Any suggestions on how to approach it?
