Hardware migration for apps

Dear Gurus,
Need your help in the following:
We have server SrvrA (IBM AIX 2 CPU - 12 GB RAM) with Oracle apps running for the past 4 years without any issues. Database and application are hosted on the same server under a common mount point (/apps). This mount is an external storage device.
We have another server SrvrB (IBM AIX 4 CPU - 16 GB RAM).
Question:
Can we do a clean shutdown of application and database on the SrvrA, unmount the external storage and mount it on SrvrB? Does it require any other procedures?
Ofcourse SrvrB has to be renamed to SrvrA, so that users can use the same URL?
Thanks
ARS

Hi,
I don't know much about AIX, but when I type oslevel -g in SrvrA and SrvrB, i get the below output:
SrvrA
# oslevel -g
Fileset                                 Actual Level        Maintenance Level
bos.rte                                 5.3.0.30            5.3.0.0--
SrvrB
# oslevel -g
Fileset                                 Actual Level        Maintenance Level
bos.rte                                 5.3.8.0             5.3.0.0Do we need relinking in this case?

ARS

Windows to Linux Migration for Apps Server - 11.5.10

Hello all,
Am trying to migrate our app server from WIndows 2000 to RH Linux. Am using the metalink doc id 238276.1 for this. Am encountering an error
"RC-00216: The Context File does not exist. Exiting."
Am not able to proceed any further. Have verified file path and permissions. Have setup some parts of the environment on the target with path for AD_TOP, APPL_TOP, CONTEXT etc.
Has anyone completed such a migration successsfully? Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Yes I have.
What is the java and perl version being used?
1 - which java
2 - java --version
3 - which perl
4 - per --version
The contextfile has been copied from the windows system does it have the correct permissions? Open the file and check if you see ^M (they should not exist)
You are executing the command as follows:
perl /data/hrtc/hrtcappl/ad/11.5.0/bin/adclonectx.pl migrate java=/usr contextfile=/data/hrtc/hrtcappl/admin/hrtc1_hrdev.xml
try:
cd /data/hrtc/hrtcappl/ad/11.5.0/bin/
perl adclonectx.pl migrate java=/usr contextfile=/data/hrtc/hrtcappl/admin/hrtc1_hrdev.xml
Also the location of JDK_TOP (/usr) seems a bit strange to me.....as I would expect something like /usr/jdk1.3.x/
Thanks!

Hardware Migration for sap R/3 4.7 Ext 200

Hi all
We are Upgrading our SAP R/3 4.7 Ext200 SR1 nonunicode oracle 9.2.0.8 to ECC6 EHP5 Unicode 11.2.0.2.
But first we need to migrate our hardware.(i.e we are shifting the data from our old server to new server).
We will install R/3 4.7 on new sever with oracle 10.2.0.4 and restore database backup from old server oracle 9 to new server oracle 10 .Now i need to know apart from following activities what else i need to consider.
instance profile parameter (ST02). we will give the same parameter value to new servers instance profile
Background Jobs(db13) we will schedule same if DB SID is changed or if we give same DB SID than no need to schedule again
System logical name (BD54)
RFC connections (SM59)
se06,STMS
We have done all above in two testing Servers.
Kindly guide me if any other activity is required.
Kindly support
Gurbir Singh

It depends on your landscape as well, apart from common system copy steps.
For e.g. in Production you might be having various interfaces etc. So, you will have to take care of those too.
Similarly try to extract something related to your landscape so that you don't miss anything, for e.g. registration of new servers into 'mail server' for SMTP/SCOT configuration, printer configuration if host/OS printer drivers/queues are needed etc.
Thanks

Hardware Requirement for APPS 11I and R12

Hello experts,
i want to purchase new laptop for practice oracle 11i or r12.
please suggest me what should harware requirement, mainly processor and operating system.
as i want to buy I3 processor with window 7 4 gb ram. 500 gb hard disc.
but my frnd told me that apps do not work with window7.
thanks
yash

I would not recommend installing 11i at this time and your choice would be R12 (12.1.1) -- You may upgrade to 12.1.3 later if you want.
For the hardware specifications, please make sure you have at leave 8 GB RAM.
For the disk space, the total space required for a standard system (not including the stage area) is 85 GB for a fresh install with a production database, and 233 GB for a fresh install with a Vision Demo database. For the stage area directory (where you will run the installer from), you need at least 47 GB to accommodate the file system and database files in the stage area.

Please note that Windows 7 is not certified and you cannot manage to install R12 on this OS. So, your options here would be installation a VM and have a supported OS (Windows/Linux).

Hardware Migration

Dear All,
We are in progressing of Hardware Migration for All prod servers.
Below is the ECC system detail .
CI and DB are separate nodes and 4 App servers were installed.
ECC EHP5 6.0 , AIX , DB2
Active and Active cluster setup.
Now can you suggest how we can proceed a new system build on new hardware in with cluster environment ( CI and DB separate nodes with Active and active cluster setup )
thanks

Hi John,
As you mentioned export/import is one of the options which when optimized can minimize the downtime on Production environment.
Second option which I could suggest is to perform offline backup restore and then perform in-place upgrade using db2se upgrade .
Found some links to guide you on this.

How do I get custom hardware approval for iPad-app?

Hi!
The company I´m working at is in pre-production on an app project for which we would like to manufacture an optional hardware controller. We have read all the app store review guidelines, and we can´t see any reason as to why the project shouldn't be approved by apple in a future review process. But since it seems risky to start production and manufacturing I also thought that it might be a good idea to run the basis of the project through this forum in case we have missed anything.
The project is most easily visualised as Guitar Hero for iPad, with the added choice to buy an optional guitar controller to play the game. Our concept is actually a bit different than the above description, but I believe that this is the easiest way to describe the project wihout getting too wordy.
Four (4) controllers will communicate simultaneously with the iPad via Bluetooth LE. Since the connection to the iPad is done via Bluetooth LE, and since we do not wish to conform to the specified "standard control" layout, or an "extended control" layout, we do not see the possibility, or the need, to join the MFi program.
So my first precise question would be: Does anyone see any reason as to why we would not be allowed to make our own custom controller using Bluetooth LE, without the MFi approval?
My second question would be regarding selling the app, and the hardware, from the app-store.
We hope to be able to sell the app, together with the custom controller, via the App Store. We imagine it could work in the lines of the customer being presented with the options to buy the app with or without the hardware, and if the customer chooses to buy the app and the hardware he/she will be prompted to provide a shipping address and that information will be sent to our supplier.
The way I understand the guidelines you can't use in-app purchases to sell physical goods, but maybe the app could provide a gateway to our online store?
So my second question would be: Does anyone see any reason as to why we would not be allowed to ship our hardware to the customer after they have bought the application via the App Store? Or are there any other apple approved ways of providing our customers with the hardware via the App Store?
Thank you for your time!

Check with your wireless carrier to see if they offer a MiFi device.

I lost paid-for Apps after Migrating to Mac Pro

Hi
I was running my iPhone from an iMac and had a number of paid-for Apps from the Apple Store. I have today migrated to a Mac Pro and when I connected my iPhone to iTunes it synced, but when it had finished I found that I had lost all my paid-for Apps!
How do I recover the Apps that I used to have? Is there information I need to copy across from my old iMac to my new iTunes on the Mac Pro? And if so, how do I then get them back onto my iPhone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Artifice

Are the apps still present in iTunes (the Applications section of the library)? Make sure iTunes menu > Preferences > General tab has the box to show Applications checked.
Did you Authorize your Mac Pro, and Sign In to your account (both in the iTunes > Store menu)?
If all else fails, you can redownload the apps for free:

HARDWARE identification for previous app store purchases?

Hello,
Very frustrated with this problem. I had a hardware test done to rule out the logic board (nividia geforce GT330) - sofware instability from the beginning to each new OSX. Now the app store is not working - require a HARDWARE identification for imovie/iphoto/garage band apps? SURE hope this is a temporary problem? The Hyper X SSD I put in did not appear to pose any problems. The lawsuit that apple won against Nividia; Should be replacing my logic board regardless?? They lied at the apple store about a clear test?? Anyone else having this or similar issues with Macbook Pro, i7, 15", mid 2010 production?? Please share an opionion; it is a bad problem to have for such an expensive machine! Thanks!

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit the App Store application if it’s running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.appstore
Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist - corrupt
Leave the Library folder open. Try the App Store again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit again. Go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
Again, some may not exist. Test. If the App Store now works, delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit again. Put back the files you moved, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place, and continue.
Step 3
Log out, log in, and try again.

Hardware requirements for Oracle APPS

I remember that I’ve seen an excel worksheet (guess it was produced by Oracle) where we could input the expected number of users and a lot of other variables and obtain the desired hardware requirements for a specific installation of Oracle Applications.
Does anyone know of the existence of such thing?
Many thanks in advance
Octavio Teixeira

romit,
Unfortunately it is not yet available for public access.
The following is from "Steven Chan" blog:

Oracle Application Hardware Migration using Acronis

Hi,
I’m an Oracle Applications DBA and would really appreciate some other DBA input on the following question.
I have a customer that uses Acronis to backup,restore and image Oracle Applications. Their current instance (11.5.6) is running on really old kit. As a test the windows guys have restored oracle Apps onto a brand new server and started the services. This has worked, which is to be expected (that’s what Acronis does).
My question is “Does Oracle support this method of hardware migration using Acronis”. My understanding is that for hw migration either autoconfig or export+import were the only Supported options.
I know that 11.5.6 is unsupported and come to mention it so is their OS and the fact that they use images as clones. This aside I would be interested in other opinions on weather Acronis is strictly for restoring/imaging a duff system or in fact weather it would be supported by Oracle for Hardware migration. ( With some reasoning please).
I have checked metalink with only one hit (643276.992) but this does not directly answer my question
Thanks in advance to anyone who can reply to this.
Cheers
James

Yes you will be able to do that (migrate/upgrade your 10g Forms & Reports applications to 11g Forms & Reports) and deploy on Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.
Note that FMW 11g release having Forms & Reports is not yet out. I am not sure about the exact time frame but it is expected to be out sometime this calendar year.
Thanks

How can I create a host name site collection when I have a 443 web application already created for App model?

Hi all,
I have a 2013 farm set up with the App model
1 web application for path based site collection using host name
1 web application with SSL (no host name)
1 web application for mysite
My business request is that I need to migrate SSL enabled 2007 content to this farm and use host name site collections. I tried to create one more web application for this without any luck (the 443 IIS folder is already used by another web application).
I thought I bind the previous 443 web application with another IP address should be fine. Seems like the IIS site is taken (https://server name:443) so it will not let me create one more. How can I solve this problem so I can create the web application
to host those host name site collections? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sally

Hi Trevor,
Thanks again for your quick reply. I try the option 2 right after your post. I use my front end server name for public URL (https://WFEName:443) and it fails again. The error message is:
The directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\443 is already being used by another IIS Web Site. Choose a different root directory for your new Web application.
After reading more, I saw mix Hosted Name Site collection and Path-based site collection aren't recommended. Unfortunately I already have Path-based site collection created with App model web application
(the web application without host name) in my farm. In my Option 2, that web application without host name is used for App routing. This takes the root folder 443 which will not allow any other web application to use the same name again.
Does that mean we can't create Host Named Site collection in the same farm? Is there any configuration I need to check?
Thanks again.
Sally

How do I migrate my apps and itunes from my old email ID to my new one

I moved and my previous cable provider shutdown my old email address and I have forgotten the password for that Itunes ID and I need to migrate it to my new ID/email. Is there a way to do merge these 2 accounts for apps and music? I have the original IPad getting ready to switch to a 3.

Back up you phone with iTunes, making sure to transfer all purchases. When you sync your new phone it will ask you if you want to restore from backup or set it up as a new phone; select restore from backup. Read through this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109.

Hardware requirement for Fusion Applications HCM installation

Hi Team,
I want to install fusion applications for HCM.
Can any one suggest the minimum hardware requirement for installation.
Please help me with any documents.
Thanks,
Chandra

Dear Chandra,
Please note that Fusion Applications installation involves following components.
1. Oracle Identity and Access Management components (Middleware infrastructure)
2. Oracle Database for IDM
3. Oracle Database for Fusion Apps
4. Fusion Applications Domains (includes Admin and managed servers for Fusion Applications)
I have posted a guide on installing Fusion applications on 2 node setup and if you have sufficient hardware to host 2 VMs then it can be done on single server as well.
http://www.oratraining.com/blog/2013/03/oracle-fusion-applications-installation-step-by-step-guide-11-1-6/
This will explain the 2 node architecture which I have prepared.
http://www.oratraining.com/blog/2013/03/fusion-applications-architecture-for-2-node-setup/
The minimum memory requirement changes if you select more products since in Fusion apps each products have their own domain and if you select more products then there will be more application managed servers (even if you don't select a product family, it will still create some managed weblogic servers based on dependency with selected products)
The minimum memory requirement to host IDM and consolidated DB in 1 node is 10-12 GB
The minimum memory requirement to host Fusion Applications domains on 2nd node is 64 GB (for 1 product family, for all products selected then 128 GB)
Please note that these are "minimum" requirements based on my experience, not as per the documents since what we are talking about is installing for "learning", not for production, where you will host various components in separate nodes.
Thanks
