How difficult is upgrading 10.6.8 server to 10.9 server?

An earlier question was satifactorily answered telling me I can use 10.6.8 server with machines running Mavericks 10.9. What remains unclear is, if I have to update the 10.6.8 server to OS X Mavericks first before upgrading to OS X Mavericks Server, does that mean that I the lose all the current 10.6.8 server settings and set upand have to start from scratch again with the Mavericks server package? I struggled with setting up the 10.6.8 server and in the end had to pay an Apple certified consultant to set it up. Apparently, later server packages are more intuitive. Is that true? Advice, please.

You might give a shout out on the OS X Server forum.

How can I upgrade from os X server 10.6.8 to the 10.8 server

I want to upgrade to the current version of x server from 10.6.8.
The available pathways to get there do not seem to exist.
How does one accomplish this?
Thanks...

For the upgrade approach, first determine if your current (presumably Xserve?) server supports OS X 10.8 (client), then (if so) purchase OS X 10.8 (client), then purchase and install Server.app. The OS X client upgrade will leave the server bits alone, and the Server.app server installation should detect the server bits and upgrade them.
One or more backups are strongly recommended.
The other approach is a new server, and migrating individual service settings and data manually. This is far more work.

How to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard

how to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard(OEM system Builder Pack)?

Hi,
Based on my experience, there is no upgrade path for OEM licensing. In addition, only SBS 2008 Standard can upgrade to SBS 2011 Standard, and there is no path to so
that from SBS 2011 Essentials. I am sorry to say that you may need a migration instead of an upgrade.
Best regards,
Susie

Upgrading Mac Pro - How Difficult will it be?

I am thinking about purchasing a Mac Pro with one 2.8GHz quad-core "Nehalem" processor and one 1TB hard drive. I like the idea of upgrading the system myself.
How difficult will it be to install a RAID card later? Any suggestions that I should keep in mind when I am planning to make this upgrade? Lessons learned? Any specific type/brand I should be looking to purchase?
Thank you!

how hard is it to upgrade the processor(s)?
I would liken upgrading processors to changing the water pump in a car. There is substantial dis-assembly and re-assembly, and care must be used to avoid collateral damage. There may be need for some improvisation. The process is straightforward. "It's not difficult, just complicated."
One of the first to attempt it, the principal of the tech site Anandtech, trashed one of the sockets on his processor board in the process and was forced to buy a new processor board to complete his project and illustrated review. The complete gory details are on his site.
In my opinion, most users are far better off trading in their older Mac for a faster one, when that is what is needed. Conserve your time and anergy for what you are best at -- which for most people is not likely to be computer surgery.
If you are anxious about performance, by far the best performer for less than the cost of TWO Mac Pros is the 3.33 GHz 6-processor (available as a build-to-order off the Quad Processor selection), It is "only" 1+1/2 times the cost of base model

How difficult would it be to upgrade from Lookout 5.1 to 6.5?

Hello, I was told that Lookout 6.5 works with Windows 7. Before I purchase 6.5 I need to know how difficult it will be to move from 5.1 to 6.5. Has anyone done this move? If I am going to have to redraw, or do numerous changes to the Database then I won't do it and I'll start from scratch with Cimplicity or ClearSCADA.
Thanks.

We use a custom SCADA designed by SCIPAR out of Buffalo New York. We've had a SCADA System here for about 28 Years. I have small standalone SCADA Systems running Lookout.
Another Question, because I can't get the Database Converted for one of my systems, I'm wondering if it is ever needed. This is a small system and the operator's use Trending and Alarm Functions but they never look at historical archives. I do have the Object Members set up to Log, is that needed for Trending to function? I wonder if I can get by without the conversion since it doesn't look like I'm ever going to get it to work.

How difficult would it be to create a bittorrent server/client?

I was thinking about creating a program that would use bittorrent to upload/download. I was wondering has someone created a package to make this easy? How difficult would it be to create something like this?

The difficulty and time to do it depends on the learning
capability of the new programmer. Patience and a drive to learn is
what all is needed. Accomplishing one step at a time is probably
the best approach, whether you're new or well-versed.

ASW Upgrade from 10.4 Server to 10.5.. anyone having Serial Number problems

i have successfully upgraded 10.4.10 sever on a PPC mac-mini with a gig of ram to 10.5, but the ASW provided Serial Number is not working for me.. anyone else having this problem?

I've got news for you, guys-- it isn't just serial numbers from ASW. I'm trying to upgrade a customer server from the ASW tryout using a 10-client retail 10.5 serial number, and I'm getting the same thing. I love how the "protection" built into the system is resulting in difficult installs/upgrades. First the artificial hardware exclusion (a PBG4/867 w/ no L2 will work, but a Dual 800 w/ 2MB L2 won't???), now the "expired" serial #. Oh, and Server Admin is so obsessed w/ showing me the spinning beach ball that I cannot yet select the server in question and fix the serial # problem remotely!
Fun! Fun!

How deploy 6i Forms Fmx trought Application Server 10g

Hello every one,
Situation :
In my company, we have a software developed by a team using Oracle Forms 6i, the application is connected te Oracle 9i Database and every thing works well.
Problem :
I was able to upgrade the database from 9i to 10g. But my question : is it possible to deploy all the Forms (fmx 6i version) on Application Server 10g. I want to use the 3-tiers architecture.
Take note that i have not the fmb source files. Just the FMX (about 40 files)
If yes, can you explain also how to proceed (tools to install on Application Server) and how to setup the connection between the 3 tiers throught a LOCAL NETWORK.
Regards
Kira

You will at least need to recompile all those *.fmb to *.fmx in the version of the App server you will be using.
We have a forms6 c/s application we are migrating to forms 11g and it almost that easy (except for changes in how you launch reports).
The application server is setup alot like the client/server side of forms is, it needs a tnsnames.ora that points to the database and it needs to know where you will be storing the forms and report. Looks for any *.fmx and that will be the default location.

How can I upgrade my iBook G4?

I have an old iBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.2.8 ... what do I need to download to bring it the most current I can? And how can I upgrade to the latest OS version (whatever it is)?
I would prefer to download as many of the free updates as I can, before I begin buying a bunch of upgrade packs. I tried to do system updates in the system preferences, but it keeps closing on me saying the program "unexpectedly quit". So I can't seem to upgrade anything that way.
Also, I do NOT have the original system disk, but I do have the admin password.
What do I need to do to bring this laptop current - or at least as current as this machine can be?

Hi rsottney!
"So do I need to get 10.3 upgrade before I get 10.4, or can I just go straight from .2 to .4?"
Not if your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements.
"I tried to do system updates in the system preferences, but it keeps closing on me saying the program "unexpectedly quit"."
You must resolve this issue before upgrading to a newer version of OS X.
Upgrading a problematic system, will only compound the situation.
"...I do NOT have the original system disk,..."
Without those discs, correcting the problem could be difficult.
But you could try running FSCK, as instructed in this KB Article ...perform disk maintenance with ... fsck.
Also navigate to HD Users > The Admin Account > Library > Preferences:
In there, locate the file com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist, and move it to the Trash.
Run Repair Permissions.
TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
Rerun RP, until the only messages reported, are listed here Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.2.x, authored by Michael Conniff.
When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".
If you purchase a set of install discs, for a newer version of OS X, you could also perform an Erase & Install of the new system.
But if you do not have a backup, you will lose all data.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.10 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Caveat Emptor! Examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!
Panther On eBay
Tiger On eBay
Also check to see if your Mac model, is listed in this KB Article OS X Must Be Installed On First -8GB Partition.
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.10 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Review these Apple documents for Panther System Requirements,
and Additional Panther System Requirements.
Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.
Info here Installing Tiger Without A DVD Drive.
The Tiger Media Exchange Program, referred to in that article, is no longer available.
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

Hi,
Try this solution:
The step-by-step installation guide can be found in the documentation included in the installation media. (\Documentation\SystemSetup\AdministratorGuide_SQL.pdf).
Below are some important parts that you should pay attention to during the Installation process.
Resolution
Collation setting: It must be set as SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS,even the company DB is non-english location. The company DB will be created as corresponding collation settings automatically.

Mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password from active directory recently after we upgraded to windows 2008 server.

after upgraded to windows 2008 server, our mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password anymore. How can I re-bind the wiki server to the AD again? thanks in advance.

Solved it by deleting the user and creating a new one with the same userID.
Maybe it occured because I marked the "user has to change password after first login" box when resetting the password but didn't yet allow him to do so in the webpages menu?!?

Crystal Reports Server XI upgrade to Crystal Reports Server 2008

I have downloaded the Crystal Reports Server 2008 upgrade from the portal. Questions:
The "Upgrading Your Crystal Reports Server Delpoyment from XI or XI Relase 2 to Crystal Rpeorts Server 2008" (simple install) documentation mentions that the installer should recognize my installation and prompt to upgrade. Instead, the first prompt that I get is for a license key. Is this normal, or should the application be seeing my existing install?
If I do indeed need a 2008 license key, how do I obtain one? It will not accept may CRXI Server keys, and I cannot see anyplace to download the new keys.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jeff

Hi,
I think you can request for new keys:
For a new key:
Request key codes for new orders via SAP Marketplace (SMP), will receive a download letter on new purchases providing them with their SMP login credentials. Using these credentials you can login and click in the "Keys & Requests" tab > Request a License key.
If your Key code does not work
You need create a customer message https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/message using component XX-SER-LIKEY-BOJ.
