Has anyone upgraded sql 2005 to sql 2008 and win 2008 Netweaver 7.0, ECC 6?

We are currently running the following landscapes
Netweaver BI 7..0 on windows 2003 , sql 2005,
ECC 6.0 on windows 2003, sql 2005
SAP Portal 7 on windoes 2003 , sql 2005
And would like to plan the migration to windows 2008, sql 2008 IE 7.0
I just wanted to get some feedback regarding if someone has already done this and how you all went about to upgrade? Issues you encountered, things to avoid, all that good stuff
Without doing much research yet, and having just completed the migration from 32bit OS to 64bit and sql 2000 to sql 2005, I had to perform a NEW install of SAP on parallel servers , export from 32bit and import to 64bit servers
When we upgrade to windows 2008 and sql 2008, will we ALSO require to do a NEW install of SAP? just like what I just finished?
Please advise?
Regards & Thank You in Advance

Upgrade Process from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012

Hi All,
I have gone thru multiple threads and would like to understand some steps in detail for me to upgrade SQL 2005 to SQL 2012.
Below is my understanding and questions around it, I would be setting up a new environment with OS 2007/2008 with SQL 2012:
Environment Readiness - Ensure new environment is ready with Win 2007/2008 with SQL 2012 Server
Run Upgrade Advisor on the new environment and point to SQL 2005 instance
Find the breaking/discontinued changes to be done before or After Upgrade
<Question>: Over here I would like to know what should be our approach to make the required changes
<Question>: Obviously I should not be making changes directly on the Production SQL 2005 server, then in that case should I take a backup/restore on the new SQL Server 2012 and then make the required changes to the database objects
like (Table schema(changing column names/datatypes etc.), Stored Procedure, Functions & Views)
<Question>: When I do a backup/restore I would also get the data along with it, so is this a recommended approach or should we only run/use the table schema creation scripts, fix the issues identified by UA and then do an Table to Table import,
any thoughts on this ?
<Question>: If I have to do a table to table Import then I should ensure there's a downtime during the Import or would I have any other better approach
So, basically my questions are around the approach of fixing the issues identified by UA and moving the database to SQL Server 2012 environment, I have around 300 databased to me upgraded.
Please do let me know what should be a good/proven approach ? Pl. do let me know if you would need any more details from me.
---Umesh

Thanks all for the replies.
I am trying summarize what I have understood here:
Document SQL Server 2005 environment details, Is there any tool which could give us all relevant details
I would take the backup from the SQL Server 2005 Production environment and then restore the same in a test environment which again has SQL Server 2005 and Run Upgrade Advisor on that
Probbaly run SQL Profiler as well to find out the deprecated changes to be done
I should fix all the breaking, discontinued changes on the Test system identified by UA
I should fix all the deprecated changes on the Test system identified by SQL Profiler
Steps 3 & 4 should give me the changed scripts for all database objects (i.e. Table Schema, Stored Procedures, Functions & Views)
<Question> Perform test, I understand this acitivity test can be captured by having SQL profiler running in the background on the SQL Server 2005 production environment where we can identify some days in a week or a month where maximum activity is
expected to ensure we cover most the scenarios, let me know is this approach looks fine or is there a better approach
Now, with regards to acutal upgrade I need to identify a time window where in less activity is done during which I could have a downtime for the actual SQL Server 2005 production environment
Post downtine, I should do a BackUp for all databases from SQL Server 2005 production environment
Test on environment readiness of SQL Server 2012 can be compared against the documentation done as part of the first Step
<Question> Ideally I should a restore first in the new environment which has SQL Server 2012
<Question> Then run the Scripted changes where we fixed all the breaking, discontinued & deprecated changes
<Question> Does above sequence of Step 9 & 10 make sense or is there a better approach of doing it
<Question> Post Upgrade and running of changed scripts, I should run the Upgrade Advisor again and see if everything looks fine
<Question> Perform test again which we ran on SQL Server 2005 Test environment
<Question> These steps should complete the Upgrade process.
Please do let me know if the above sequence look ok to all of you and does it really work in a practical scenario, do let me know your feedback or any change in sequence/process or any other tools that can be used here.
Thanks Again ...

Convert SSIS SQL 2005 to SQL 2008

Hi!
We have problem converting our SSIS package from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008.
When we try to to open our SSIS package from SQL 2005 in SQL 2008 BIDS we get an error.
We don´t get the old BPC tasks in Visual Studio 2008 just the new ones, can this be the problem? And how can we solve this?

All,
Usually, User can use MS migration tool for converting DTS to SSIS.
Here are something user needs to do
    1. after convert, user should replace Some custom tasks from 4.2 version to 7M version.
    2. Sometimes MS migration tool makes wrong conversion like connection. We need to fix it manually.
    3. If user is using some specific tasks like Data mining tasks, Migration tool doesn't support
        This is the only case that user should create package again.
    Except #3 case, all existing packages could convert to SSIS package easily,
    I converted a customers 4.2 DTS packages to 7 version recently and converting one package only took 5 minutes -10 minutes including test.
    As I know, SAP is preparing HOW TO DO as WebCast very soon.
    Please wait a little bit more.
Thank you
James
For the answer of this thread, sometimes you need to restart SSIS services at Appserver after you MS patches or add new tasks , I think it is a bug of MS but please try it.

Conversion from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 Express

Looking to move a small database from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 Express - can a 2005 backup file be restored to a newly created 2012 Express database file?

Are you using 2005 express? Yes, you can do that
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177429.aspx
Note that if you restore a SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server 2012, the database is automatically
upgraded.
Also you
cannot
do a cross
edition restore i.e. from enterprise edition (2005) backup to 2012 express

Gathering physical memory for SQL 2005..SQL 2014

Hi All,
I'm trying to write a query to gather physical memory across my SQL servers (from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012).
However, the sys.dm_os_sys_info DMV (the column for physical memory) is not the same after the switch to SQL 2012+.
Here is the original query:
SELECT
@@SERVERNAME AS ServerName,
CASE WHEN LEFT(CAST(serverproperty('productversion') as char), 1) = 9 THEN '2005'
WHEN LEFT(CAST(serverproperty('productversion') as char), 4) = 10.0 THEN '2008'
WHEN LEFT(CAST(serverproperty('productversion') as char), 4) = 10.5 THEN '2008R2'
WHEN LEFT(CAST(serverproperty('productversion') as char), 2) = 11 THEN '2012'
END AS MajorVersion,
SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel') AS MinorVersion,
SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') AS FullVersion,
SERVERPROPERTY ('edition') AS Edition,
SERVERPROPERTY('collation') as Collation,
cpu_count as CpuCount,
physical_memory_in_bytes/1024/1024 as PhysMemMB
FROM [sys].[dm_os_sys_info]
If I run that on SQL 2014, it fails because 'physical_memory_in_bytes' is now called 'physical_memory_kb'
I tried to do an IF..THEN..ELSE:
IF (cast(serverproperty('productversion') as char) like '11.%')
Then change the query accordingly but it would fail because i guess when it tried to parse the whole code, one of the T-SQL variations would have a column that did not exist in that particular version of SQL Server.
Is there a way I can get physical memory across SQL 2005..SQL 2012 or rewrite the T-SQL above to be able to run on both?
Thanks in advance

Oh it seemed like you are asking SQL Server memory. the name for physical memory column ha changed only in SQL Server 2012. I wrote below script just first run select SERVERPROPERTY('ResourceVersion') to get exact resource database version of
SQL Server 2012 and then replace it in below script
IF cast ( SERVERPROPERTY('ResourceVersion') as char (10) )= '11.00.2000'--2012 resource database version
select (physical_memory_kb/1024)as Physical_mem_MB from sys.dm_os_sys_info
else
select (physical_memory_in_bytes/1024/1024) as physical_mem_MB from sys.dm_os_sys_info
Edit: A more optimized query
If cast (LEFT( CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ResourceVersion') AS VARCHAR(20)),2) as INT) in ('11','12')
select (physical_memory_KB/1024) as Physical_Mem_MB from sys.dm_os_sys_info
--else it uses for 2005-08R2
else select (physical_memory_in_bytes/1024/1024) as Physical_Mem_MB from sys.dm_os_sys_info

Hi Shanky,
Doesn't work and that's what I meant in my initial post..when I run that code against a SQL 2012 instance, it parses fine but when I execute it I get:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
Invalid column name 'physical_memory_in_bytes'.

Restoration at sql 2005 from sql 2000 backup.

Hi experts,
Is it possible to restore a backup taken from sql 2000 database to sql 2005 database?
And how about attaching datafiles of sql2000 into sql 2005 server?
Thanks and Regards,
Amit Jana.

> Is it possible to restore a backup taken from sql 2000 database to sql 2005 database?
Yes its possible.
> And how about attaching datafiles of sql2000 into sql 2005 server?
Same method of attach/deattach.
But recommanded you first install 2000 instance restore database and do inplace sql 2005 upgrade.
Why you can't follow recommanded mothed ?

Has anyone upgraded the Ironport ESA to 8.5.6-074 and had the issues of Raid status showing unknown?

Has anyone upgraded the Ironport ESA to 8.5.6-074 and had the issues of Raid status showing unknown? After we upgraded our appliances we are having issues with our ESA appliances showing the RAID status as unknown. When we reported the issue to CISCO we were updated there were no issues reported at all. Could anyone please confirm if you have experienced the same issue.

You should see OPTIMAL - meaning the drives in the C170 are in good health/status:

Has anyone upgraded your MacBook Air SSD? Is it possible?

Just out of curiosity, Can you upgrade your SSD? Have any of you upgraded your SSD in your Mid 2012 MacBook Air? If so, what did you use and how much can the 2012 Air SSD take?
THANKS

This is what I found below on the OWC site. My Macbook Air is 5,2 and it says that it is compatible. I checked the video and looks pretty straight forward. I am just looking for what people's experiences were and what the outcome was... Has anyone upgraded their SSD to 1TB? Good or bad idea?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears 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.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.
If the hard drive does not appear in the DU sidebar list then it has died and will have to be replaced. No need to proceed beyond this point.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Has anyone started out with creative cloud photography and later upgraded to the full bundle?

Lenora, I'm curious about the same thing.
I currently have the cloud's Photoshop and Lightroom program, and would like to upgrade to the full Creative Suite.
The listed pricing doesn't distinguish between types of previous customers. I don't know if I'm considered an existing CS customer because I have other individual cloud products, or if I must have already purchased the entire suite in the past. Any insight would be grand.

Two previous questions may not have been as clear as I would have liked. I recently upgraded my MacBook 2008 (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). With the updates came iTunes 11.1.1 and Quicktime 7.6.6. I am still using Garageband 2008 and iPhoto 2008. When I create music in Garageband I usually adjust the volume and save it. Even now when I share the Garageband created files with iTunes 11.1.1, the volime I previously set in Garageband is retained. However, when I use the music to create a slide show in iPhoto 2008 and export to Quicktime 7.6.6, the volume level I previously set is lost and seems to default to a low level. The problem seems to be either in the slide show export from iPhoto 2008 to Quicktime 7.6.6 or in Quicktime itself. Is there a work around, so that I can retain the volume level I had previously set in Garageband, a volume level that seems to transfer without problem to the new iTunes. But then iPhoto 2008 (slide show) possibly or Quicktime 7.6.6 do not cooperate. Before I did the upgrade to Snow Leopard, the new iTunes and Quicktime I had no problems with the set volume being retained in the old Quicktime. The reason I need control over the volume is that all these music files are uploaded to YouTube.

HT1349 Has anyone had issues with the iphone 4s and facebook.

Has anyone had issues with the iphone 4s and facebook. I have downloaded the app and sometimes it will let me log in and then it will log me out and not let me back in. I have deleted and downloaded it several times and nothing is working. HELP!

@razmee: rather unhelpful.
@tata - we're having the same trouble, and the only solution we've found doesn't fix it.
1) uninstall
2) login on PC/MAC and change password
3) reboot iphone
4) install facebook app, reboot again
5) login from iphone.
No joy.
Safari works, but not for the apps.
Of course, it's Facebook that has to fix this.

We are trying to pilot it but cannot find a way of allowing us to control the sequence of importing transports - it's fine for small single transports but we can't see how to control the order of multiple transports or how to re-transport specific indiviual transports.
Thanks

You can but you have to install Rosetta from one of your (snow)leopard) disks. It's not a good idea if you don't know what you are doing. But it does work. There are some instructions online if you really want to give it a go. FCS2 is not native intel and Lion is not supporting PPC anymore. So while you can it is questionable if you should. Probably time to up or cross grade.
