Exporting existing management packs to new setup ?

Need to deploy new instance of SCOM 2012;but, need to keep the same monitoring of the environment as setup in SCOM 2007 R2.
What should be the right and effective approach regards to management packs :
1. Is it OK to simply export and import existing managements packs and override management packs ?
2. Should be download the latest management packs and import the existing override management packs ?
3. Download the latest management pack and create new override as per old override management packs ?
Amanpreet Singh Bansal

To migrate management pack, it will be good to download the latest management packs and import the existing override management pack

Uninstall all management packs related to System Center Virtual Machine Manager and then run Setup again.

I uninstalled all System Center VVM related management Packs, but still received "Uninstall all management packs related to System Center Virtual Machine Manager and then run Setup again.".
Think I got them all. But how can I figure out which Management pack is still installed and has to be removed.
Thanks for your reply

How to change management pack in incident template in scsm

We have created customized incident management pack and import that to scsm.Created templates using the this managementpack now i got request to edit or delete some Class properties in the customized managment pack.I have exported the management pack and
trying to edit the Class properties but those are Grey out.
Please let me know that how can i Edit or Delete the Class Properties in Customized management pack.
And Also let me know that i have created Templates using Customized management pack if i delete that mp and import a new mp in to SCSM how can i update the template with new mp.I tied to chnage the management pack in template but it is greyout.
Regards, H@ri

In which management pack are your class extension stored? Is this a sealed management pack (did you seal the management pack)? If it is a sealed MP than you have to modify the unsealed MP and seal it again with the same key.
If you export a sealed MP from SCSM it will be an unsealed copy of the MP but it doesn't work to modify this exported MP. So this is not an option.
If you want to delete custom properties in a MP you have to make sure that these properties aren't in use in the templates or work items.

Form customizations and management packs

Is there any way to determine if an out of the box form such as Incident has been modified in any way using the authoring tool and if so, can you determine which management pack the changes were saved in?
I would like to modify a form but I don't know if the person that was maintaining SM before me did anything with it and if so, where the changes are stored.

Just thought I would provide an update since there was so much time put into this thread. I exported the management pack I have been trying to open with the Authoring Tool and using Notepad, found and removed the following:
      <Reference Alias="CustomMicrosoft_SystemCenter_ServiceManager_ChangeRequestActionLog">
        <ID>Microsoft.SystemCenter.ServiceManager.ChangeRequestActionLog</ID>
        <Version>7.5.2017.6</Version>
        <PublicKeyToken>31bf3856ad364e35</PublicKeyToken>
Imported the MP back into SM and then exported again and was able to successfully open the MP with the Authoring Tool. Doing this in test of course and have no idea what else references the above or why it's there. It's unfortunate the MP is not available
so you can just point the Authoring Tool at it but it also proves this was the last major road block.
I suppose it could be possible to make your form update and before importing, manually put the above back in the MP before importing but that would be a pain and prone to error at some point.
After making my change to the form and saving the changes, I imported the MP back in and received 54 of the following warnings:
Unsealed management packs should not contain type definitions. The element WorkItemGroup.3bb30997a36a4bd0889515981829573a of type ManagementPackClass found in an unsealed management pack.
I don't think this has anything to do with the change I made. I believe these issues existed before I removed the reference to the MP but you just could not see them because you could never open the MP with the Authoring Tool.

Adjusting queuestatistics.vbs timeout in MSMQ management pack

Hi all,
I'm running SCOM 2012 R2 and my question is specific to the MSMQ 6.0.6700.88 management pack. I'm seeing a few alerts titled
"Operations Manager failed to start a process", with the alert details saying "Forced to terminate the following process started at x:xx:xx PM because it ran past the configured timeout 300 seconds"
Command executed: "C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo "queuestatistics.vbs" server.domain.local false
One or more workflows were affected by this.
Workflow name: many
Instance name: many
Instance ID: many
etc etc - we've all seen these errors before.
When I run the script manually on the server as local system, the script runs fine, but takes around 4 mins (360 seconds) to finish executing.
I want to adjust the timeout threshold for this script, and I understand that for this script timeout, there is no override available via the SCOM console, and I need to go into the management pack.
I've exported the management pack and I've found the vbs script contained within the management pack, however I was just looking for some guidance on what XML field(s) I should change to adjust the timeout? Searching through the management pack I've
found several areas that might be what I'm after.
I guess I'm just after someone to point me at the right DataSource or Rule ID or something to edit, rather than me just taking a guess and reimporting a busted management pack that I then need to clean up.
Cheers,
Noel.

Thanks Michael!
That didn't quite work out for me, but I eventually got it working. At first I did change the <TimeoutSeconds> value under the script as per your diagram, and after reimporting the management pack and flushing the health service cache for good
measure, the script still failed with a 300 second timeout.
However I started looking through the rules in more detail, and I found some rules that reference a datasource with "Queue.Statistics" in the name. I figured that's a close enough match to the VB script that's also running. Here is a screen grab...
There were several rules & datasources that had "Microsoft.MSMQ.2008R2.DataSource.Queue.Statistics" in the name, and I changed the "TimeoutSeconds" value for all of them to 360 seconds. I then reimported the management pack again, and now the script
is completing.
Thanks very much for your assistance with this and giving me a nudge in the right direction.

A note on Setup Manager - Application Change Management Pack

Hi All,
This is Mugunthan, Development manager for iSetup and Setup Manager. I am happy to begin my note with the launch of Application Change Management Pack 3.1. For those who are not aware of Application Change Management Pack, it is a new product built on top of Oracle Enterprise Manager and comprises of three major modules namely Setup Manager, Customization Manager and Patch Manager. You can find more information about this pack here (LCM: Oracle Application Change Management Pack Setup Manager is enhanced and advanced version of iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager. There were good amount of reasons to re-architect iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager as Setup Manager.
Why Setup Manager?
Ability to migrate to data over point releases of EBS – EBS comes up with rollup patches on top of major releases periodically. It means that you have to certify the patch before it get deployed on to production which means that setup data are to be certified again. iSetup cannot connect between 12.0.4 to 12.0.6 or 12.0.6 to 12.1.1. We have achieved the data migration for above scenarios in Setup Manager (11i to R12 is not supported in Setup Manager)
Projects – Setup Manager supports grouping of Extracts, Transforms, Loads and Reports as a single entity and can be deployed multiple times to multiple targets. The project consists of one or more tasks (of type Extract/Load/Transform/Report) and can be orchestrated according to your ends. Project execution supports scheduling which means that you can use this feature to sync up setup data between two instances at periodic internal. Projects can be shared with other users which is remarkable difference between iSetup and Setup Manager. You can share your projects with others in a combined development environment. The functional configuration data (Extracts) are stored in Oracle Enterprise Manager. This means that you can refresh EBS without losing Extracts.
Integration with Change Approval mechanism – Execution of projects is integrated with change approval mechanism which means that you can control who executes what. Also, you have fine grain access control where you can control EBS targets assigned to a user.
Offline Transformation – I would say this is the most unique feature of Setup Manager and as an implementer you would welcome this feature very much. iSetup has got very limited capability on Transformation. Here we have gone way ahead and support Transformation on almost all Setup Objects. We present you the extracted data in excel sheets. You can download the excel template and work offline. All the attribute value fields in the excel sheet are editable which means that you supply your own value. For example, you can download Operating Unit data in xls file and change operating unit “OU100” to “OU200” and upload it back to system and load to target instance. Please note that any attribute of Operating Unit setup data can be edited. Also, system has got intelligence and once you upload the excel sheet, it automatically changes all the inventory organization which belongs to “OU100” to “OU200”. This behavior can be controlled using attribute mapping which you can create in Setup Manager. Hold on, this is not the end, also you can add more operating unit in excel, say OU300 and OU400 and load it to target instance. You can delete few Operating Units from extracted data in excel sheet and load the remaining to target instance. This gives you complete flexibility to manage (add/edit/delete) functional configuration data offline. This is fantastic feature and please have a look at how it works.
Advanced Filtering – Filter support in iSetup is not flexible where you cannot use comma separated values and complex sql join conditions. Also you do not know what query is executed behind the scenes to the data. All this problems are addressed in Setup Manager 3.1. We show you the “select clause” (SQL) associated with interface and provide you a text field where you can refer the select clause and provide your own custom where criteria (SQL). This means that filter support is unlimited and you can set filter any database columns. For example, you can extract “Responsibilities/Menu” which are active or created as on yesterday. You can extract all Operating Units excluding “OU100 and OU200”. We support all filter criteria that are supported by SQL.

Hi,
your note very interesting. Is there any other way to extract the configuration using SQL? not using Enterprise Manager? hope this will be fastest way then using GUI base.
Thanks,
Fahmi Fahlevi

Hi Mugunthan,
Can you provide links to any tutorial or example (screenshots) of using Setup Manager to transfer something between two environments (say Users or DFFs)?

How to get existing library imported to new itunes install, old library was not backed up or exported

How to get existing library imported to new itunes install, old library was not backed up or exported. This occured due to Win 7 user profile was corrupt.

I know that in Mac OS X one can pick which library to use by holding down the option key while starting iTunes. What's the Windows equivalent?
Press the Shift key.
WIll the fact that the music is now on another physical drive make a difference
No.
I know the previous install is at least 7.0, but I have no idea about which point release.
Try checking the content of the iTunes Music Library.xml file.
Finally, what's the expected behaviour (or required procedure) with respect to reauthorization of this computer to use the same ITMS-purchased files?
You will be asked to reauthorize the computer.

Updating management packs and adding new onces

Hello Forum
I enjoy the use of SCOM to monitor our environment.
But i have Two questions:
1. Will updating management packs from the builtin utility remove any custom overrides and monitors?
For example i have crated custom disk monitors under the Windows Server Management Pack and Custom SQL monitors under the SQL sql management.
2. Why are only some management packs available from the builtin utility? for example Exchange 2010 and AD 2012 Management packs are downloads on the download center? Why not publish them to the builtin utility of SCOM?
Thanks for your time!

Hi,
1. No, updating management packs will not remove custom overrides. However, with new mp's, new monitors may come, which change some of the monitors which you have overriden. Always read the MP documentation for new mps and test the new mp in a test environment.
2. Regarding the Exchange 2010, there have been some issues earlier, why it was taken off the online catalog. This will also give you the managment pack documentation, which you should always read.

Michael

Execute powershell command (new-object -comObject ...) in management pack

Hello everyone
I have a COM Object that want to use it in my management pack. When I write the powershell command "new-object -comObject ... " to create it outside of MP and in a ps1 file it works without any error. However when I write it in my MP, this
error is showed in event viewer: "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {clsID} failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))."
I have to mention that when I use vb script in my MP and using "CreateObject()", I don't have any problem.
How can I use "new-object -comObject ... " in my management pack?
thank you all
Alireza

Hi Marthijn,
Actually I don't have any problem with powershell in my management packs. For example I can use "MOM.ScriptAPI"
to create $oBag and return it to next module. My problem is only with that custom COM object. Interesting thing is that, it
works fine when I create it in powershell file outside of MP, but when I create it in my MP, that error occures.
thank you so much
Alireza

Exported SCSM Default ServiceManager.RunbookActivity.Configuration Sealed management pack but unable to import later

Hi,
I exported SCSM default ServiceManager.RunbookActivity.Configuration Sealed management pack and remove it from SCSM. Later when I tried to import back the xml file it shows me this error.
Is there anyway to reinstate the original Sealed management pack?
Thanks
Jeron@Microsoft Technet

This error message is often related to missing the tag ManagementPublicKeyToken within the category tag. If you seal a MP but without defined the token then Service Manager will complain like this. And obviously the token and key must match.
What happens if you insert your keytoken value into the MP, seal it with your own key and then import it?
Somewhat like below:
<Categories>
<Category>
<ManagementPackVersion>xxx</ManagementPackVersion>
<ManagementPublicKeyToken>tokenhere</ManagementPublicKeyToken>

Is it possible to use SCOM 2012 R2 with the new Azure Managment Pack to monitor Aure Wadlog Events for azure sdk 2.5

My operations team has been using MOM 2007 and has recently migrated to SCOM 2012 R2.
Till now we are using Monitoring Pack management packs which were released way earlier (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11324),
and had a dependency on diagonstics connection string being present in the cscfg of Azure package.
This pack was allowing us to monitor the wad logs and events generated by applications.
However we plan to move to newer Azure managemen pack (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38414), which allows for discoverability.
I have 2 questions -
Is it possible to monitor Diagonstics Event Log with the new Monitoring Pack released on 10/2014 ? Or will the users still require the earlier pack for monitoring diagnostics installed in parallel ?
Azure SDK 2.5 got rid of diagonstics connection string. Is there any possible way to Monitor of Azure Diagonstics wadlogs using SCOM 2012 R2
Thanks,
Pratush

Hi Pratush,
I would like to suggest you go through the management pack guide to get details. And you should be able to create custom monitor to monitor event logs for Azure.
Hope the below links be helpful for you regarding to monitoring Azure:

New Application Management Packs

Oracle announced three new management packs for managing Oracle E-Business Suite, Siebel and PeopleSoft Enterprise applications.
More information can be found:
. http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/2006_oct/101606-oem-apps-finalsite.html
. http://www.oracle.com/enterprise_manager/index.html
We will have several sessions and demos on these packs at OpenWorld next week. You can find out more about them at this site.
. http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/oracle/cwu/archives/oracle-openworld-2006-application-management-previews-12340
Chung

There was a lot of interest in this at Open World. I attended Biju Mohan's session on R12 System Management, and liked some of the new features and improvements he spoke about. I've posted some additional comments on the Oracle Applications Blog I contribute to:
http://www.oracleappsblog.com/index.php/weblog/oracle-e-business-suite-release-12-new-features-for-sys-admins/
I hope to start testing with the latest version soon, and hope to hear from those who are also testing.

Changing the Management Pack extensions or items are stored in

I think I know the answer to this but I will ask it anyway. Is it possible to change the Management Pack an extension or an object such as a Queue or Subscription is stored in?
Reason I ask is the person that was maintaining SM before me stored every single form extension, subscription, queue and view etc...in the same Management Pack. I really don't like this particular setup and I am sure its not best practice. I plan to break
out all the above and possibly more into separate newly created Management Packs, like a separate one for Views, a separate one for Subscriptions etc.... Is the only solution to delete the existing item and create a new one with the same details including
the display name?

You can, but not as easily as you would like.
Essentially, what you would need to do is split up the the XML by hand, making sure to sort out the DisplayStrings sections to the correct components. Export out the "main" MP, cut out a section of XML that represents the form extension, paste
it into a new file with a new name, add a reference to the new MP to the main MP, and replace all references to that object with MP Aliases to that object's new home. Import both the new MP and the reduced "main" MP back into the database.
there are two problems thou:
Some objects, like projections (used in form extensions created by the authoring too) and class extensions should only ever be stored in sealed MPs, because removing them causes data that reference them to be invalid, i.e. properties defined in class extensions
are lost if that class extension is removed and re-added, and templates that depend on projections are inaccessable if the projection they are based on is lost.
some atomic SDK objects, like workflows, consist of several non-consecutive XML sections, meaning you would need to trace the references and identify which of many <Rule> and <Action> sections belonged with which workflows, and make sure they
would all end up in the same MP.
now you could do this slowly, pulling sections out of the "main" MP and replacing them with references over various nightly downtimes, exporting the "main" MP and carving out a few objects, then importing the trimmed down "main"
MP and the new single use MP until you had something resembling best practice functional isolation (all Change request notification over here, all service request workflows over there, etc), and the hollowed out husk of your "main" MP as a miscellaneous
container, but i think you'll find that you still have to face and deal with data loss and breakage, potentially a lot more trouble then it's worth.
Given that, i would instead propose that you give up on correcting sins of the past, and start doing it right now. start setting up your new MPs and put new thingss into them, and while you're working, anything that you can easily rebuild. Make a plan to
rebuild your templates and form customization. start identifying class extensions you'll have to rebuild, and work up a plan to export data defined by them somewhere (probably powershell and CSV) so you can restore it when the classes are restored.
Like most data hygine problems, there isn't an easy bulk application answer. you just have to look at everything and clean it up as you go. you can mix salt and sugar quite easily. UNmixing them is a lot more work.
