Migration assistant will it delete my new profile and info?

I bought a new mac several months ago and in my eagerness I set it up. after a few months I realised I needed quite a few files from my Time machine I had from my old computer. If I do a migration assistant, will it erase all of the things I have since put on the the new computer (movies, music, files etc). Confused, I cant find an answer to this anywhere.

No, it won't erase anything.
But if you transfer one or more user accounts, they will be separate from your existing accounts -- it cannot "merge" the data into an existing account. See Using Migration Assistant on Lion for the gory details.
Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to restore selected items from the backups, via the "Star Wars" display. To see the backups for a different Mac, you'll need the Browse ... option, perTime Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17.

Authorizations setting for running the process chain

Hai
Iam planning to run the process chain for loading the data into ODS. But i dont have authorization for it.
so what are the authorizations i need to run the process chain in my system. And how can i set all those authorizations to my user-id. I have all authorization rights .
Pls let me knw
kumar

Hi,
Authorizations for Process Chains
Use
You use authorization checks in process chain maintenance to lock the process chain, and the processes of the chain, against actions by unauthorized users.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to perform specific activities.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to schedule the processes in a chain.
The authorization check for the processes in a chain runs when the system performs the check. This takes place upon scheduling or during synchronous execution. The check is performed in display mode. The check is performed for each user that schedules the chain; it is not performed for the user who executes the chain. The user who executes the chain is usually the BI background user. The BI background user automatically has the required authorizations for executing all BI process types. In attribute maintenance for the process chain, you can determine the user who is to execute the process chain.
See also: Display/Maintenance of Process Chain Attributes ® Execution User.
Features
For the administration processes that are bundled in a process chain, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_ADMWB.
To work with process chains, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_PC. You use this authorization object to determine whether process chains can be displayed, changed or executed, and whether logs can be deleted. You can use the name of the process chain as the basis for the restriction, or restrict authorizations to chains using the application components to which they are assigned.
Display/Maintain Process Chain Attributes
Use
You can display technical attributes, display or create documentation for a process chain, and determine the response of process chains during execution.
Features
You can display or maintain the following attributes for a process chain:
Process Chain ® Attribute ® ...
Information
Description
( Rename)
You can change the name of the process chain.
Display Components
Display components are the evaluation criterion in the process chain maintenance. Assigning the process chains to display components makes it easier to access the chain you want.
To create a new display component, choose Assign Display Components in the input help window and assign a technical name and description for the display component in the Display Grouping dialog box that appears.
Documents
You can create and display documents for a process chain.
For more information, see Documents.
Last Changed By
Displays the technical attributes of the process chain:
·        When it was last changed and who by
·        When it was last activated and who by
·        Object directory entry
Evaluation of Process Status
If you set this indicator, all the incorrect processes in this chain and in the overall status of the run are evaluated as successful; if you have scheduled a successor process upon error or always.
The indicator is relevant when using metachains: Errors in the processes of the subchains can be evaluated as unimportant for the metachain run. The subchain is evaluated as successful, despite errors in such processes of the subchain. If, in the metachain, the successor of the subchain is scheduled upon success, the metachain run continues despite errors in unimportant processes of the subchain.
Mailing and alerting are not affected by this indicator and are still triggered for incorrect processes if they have an upon error successor.
Polling Indicator
With this indicator you can control the response of the main process for distributed processes. Distributed processes, such as the load process, are characterized as having different work processes involved in specific tasks.
With the polling indicator you determine whether the main process needs to be kept until the actual process has ended.
By selecting the indicator:
-         A high level of process security is guaranteed, and
-         External scheduling tools can be provided with the status of the distributed processes.
However, the system uses more resources; and a background process is required.
Monitoring
With the indicator in the dialog box Remove Chain from Automatic Monitoring?, you can specify that a process chain be removed from the automatic monitoring using CCMS.
By default CCMS switches on the automatic process chain monitoring.
For more information about the CCMS context Process Chains, see the section BW Monitor in CCMS.
Alerting
You can send alerts using alert management when errors occur in a process chain.
For more information, see Send Alerts for Process Chains.
Background Server
You can specify here on which server or server group all of the jobs of a chain are scheduled. If you do not make an entry, the background management distributes the jobs between the available servers.
Processing Client
If you use process chains in a client-dependent application, you can determine here in which client the chain is to be used. You can only display, edit, schedule or execute the chain in this client.
If you do not maintain this attribute, you can display, edit, schedule or execute the process chain in all clients.
Process variants of type General Services that are contained in a process chain with this attribute set will only be displayed in the specified client.
This attribute is transported. You can change it by specifying an import client during import. You must create a destination to the client set here in the target system for the import post processing (transaction RSTPRFC) The chain is activated after import and scheduled, if necessary, in this client.
Execution User
In the standard setting a BI background user executes the process chain (BWREMOTE).
You can change the default setting so that you can see the user that executes the process chain and therefore the processes, in the Job Overview. You can select the current dialog user who schedules the process chain job, or specify a different user.
The setting is transported.
The BI background user has all the necessary authorizations to execute all BI process types. Other users must assign themselves these authorizations so that authorization errors do not occur during processing.
Job Priority
You use this attribute to set the job priority for all of the jobs in a process chain.

Error while running the process chain

Hi, I am getting following error while running the process chain.
"Lock NOT set for: Deleting the data completely from a data target"
Please suggest.
amit

hi,
This is due to a lock on the objects which is being used by ur load.
Even if master data used by this would be in a lock by an attribute change run. wait till that attribute change run finishes and then repeat.
If this target itself is locked by someother process like rollup , compression , this error would appear. In this case also repeat the step after those locking process finish.
some general locks during loading:
Sometimes parallel processing in DTP might lead to this, its better set the DTP and infopackage in serial processing. In this case change the settings and then repeat the process.
There is a specific case in which the Serial DTP gets locked by itself, in this case repeat it untill it succeeds.
You can identify the above scenario as below. This is applicable only if the DTPs processing mode is serial.
if u see in SM 37 this load would have three DTP processes running.
it should have only two.
In this case cancel the process and repeat it untill u get it right.
hope this helps u
regard,
ranjith

Is it possible to run the Process Application task from DM or SSIS ???

As the title says (and further to yesterday's SSIS question).
I need to automate the task of processing applications, but currently only have the option of opening Admin Manager -> Applications -> Tick "Process Application" -> Modify Application.
When I try to setup an SSIS package to run the process, it only runs for 2.5 minutes and doesn't rebuild the dependencies on the DB tables that are dropped as part of a full optimize.
However, when I run the job as shown above (in Admin Mgr), it takes 11 minutes and works perfectly.
Therefore, as it is a simple tick-box to run the processing, there must be one or more jobs at the back-end that are run by ticking it.
So I need to know how to call the job(s) in question either from SSIS or from Data Manager, so that I can schedule it.
Thanks
Craig

Thanks James.
I just added the AdminTask_Process package from the samples to my AppSet, but it failed again.
It ran in 147 seconds (2.5 minutes again), and failed to rebuild any of the dependencies on the FACT tables.
When I run "Process Application" from Admin Manager, it takes just over 10 minutes and rebuilds the dependencies correctly.
Do you have any other suggestions as to how I can run the full sequence of application processing that happens when I use the Admin Manager ???
Cheers
Craig

SET CURRENT DEGREE = 1..error when run the process chain..

Hi Experts,
when i run the process chain , i got the following error..
SET CURRENT DEGREE = 1..
what is this error?
Kindly help ..

hi,
As BW reporting queries are often CPU-intensive and geneally executed in parallel.
Parallel processing is activated dynamically in the SAP BW system for every reporting query CURRENT DEGREE = ANY and itsdefault value is 1.
you can limit the maximum number of parallel tasks using ZPARM PARAMDEG(maximum number of parallel tasks ) for the no. of parallel processors for its usuage and this should match no. of processors you can get touch with your basis team
check SAP Note:390016 -DB2/390: BW: Database settings and performance ; in that look at query parallelism it explain about this
hope it helps

Getting the Metric evaluation error start - Unable to run the process

Hi,
I am getting the below error:
Metric evaluation error start - Unable to run the process
We are using the Grid Control for monitoring purposes, and we get this error frequently from different databases. Please do let me know if anyone have faced this error before or know about it. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Where are you seeing this error?
Can you confirm the target exists (check targets.xml on the agent) and that the instance of the target has it defined correctly (all the required instance properties are there)?
Given that those check out, can you open up the metric browser on the agent and make sure the target looks ok there.

I have a touchsmart running windows 7 and i cannot get my screen saver to work

i have a touchsmart running windows 7 and i cannot get my screen saver to work

Hello. You need to change the energy use setting that computer uses max it out. Then it will work just fine. My is touchsmart 600-1050. The computer was preset to use minimum amount of electricity when in idle. I changed all the setting to high. Now every thing runs just like a Windows XP version computer. Thats how I got my screen savors to work. I also upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 7 Ultimate now I am able to run a lot more XP software. Test your pond screen saver make sure that working with windows open. That will tell you if it is a software issue if it doesn't work. That is the case then restore it from your D: drive.

If I sync apps with migration assistant, will it over-write the newer iLife apps on my new MacBook Pro?

I purchased a new MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) and connected it to my existing iMac (Lion) to transfer over my user account, music and applications. It did not occur to me that the process might over-write the iLife apps already factory installed on the MBP. I am having trouble checking if that happened, but getting info on both iPhoto and iMovie shows that they are 32-bit applications (Calendar, Contacts and iMessage just show as "applications" without saying if they are 32- or 64-bit).
What version numbers should all those iLife apps be? If I have over-written them, what would I have to do to restore the factory installed versions at this point since the MBP does not come with install disks anymore?

MacJack: I did the migration when started up the computer for the first time.
As for suggestion from Mende1, it sounds like a great idea, but if I did over-write what was already there, will the App Store charge me for the apps if I did not buy them through the App Store (since they came pre-installed on the MBP)? If so, I would prefer to take the MBP to an Apple store with the receipt and offer an explanation.
Would knowing the version numbers of the software I now have installed be enough information to know if they were the versions that came pre-installed on the MBP under Mountain Lion?

HT4796 migration assistant will not download to my XP pc, it says successful, then a window opens saying an error with only the option of QUIT

Using my iMac has been nothing but frustrating, out of the box and it works, yeah, plug in and power comes on...but then amatuerish tutorials, then try migrating data, phone support offered not help and a return call that somehow never made in the proposed 1 hour window.
All i want to do is migrate my data from pc to mac...but maybe i don't.

First on my pc,XP pro the Windows Migration Assistant says you have "successfully downloaded." Then I go to start>all programs>windows migration assistant. A single click and a Apple window appears with the two finder faces and displays the following message in total:
"An error occurred while preparing your information for transfer."
The Go Back option is grayed out, the only option I have is Quit.
This is all there is. Apple tech is preplexed after 2 hours. His solution is for me to purchase an auxiliray HD and call back.

Migration assistant will not see my old Time Machine Disk

Just in the process of abandoning our trusty old G5 running Leopard for a new iMac with Lion.
I have everything backed up on Time Machine from the G5 and need to migrate iTunes as it is the sync center for a family of iPhones, iPods and iPads. So has all of the things bought from the iTunes store.
Migration Assistant refuses to see the Time Machine disk. It shows up on the desktop, so I know it is connected.
Any clues?
Everything I am reading in the threads does not give me confidence that the files on Time Machine will be able to be moved.
thanks
Terri

Those are your backups. Migration Assistant shows the name of the disk and system that were backed-up, not the disk they're on. It will not show the disk you're running from.
See the tan box in Using Migration Assistant on Lion.

Run windows migration assistant on laptop to transfer files to new iMac

Would there be too many firewalls or virus protection to not allow the migration assistant to deploy... it's loaded on my Win. 7 laptop, but won't run so i can transfer files to my new imac. Thankyou for any suggestions.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1408 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2518 should get you started.

ISO x 10.8.3 migration assistant will not recognize time machine disk

I recently had my computer wiped clean by Apple genius bar. After updating the ISO X 10.8 software to 10.8.3, I attempted to restore files from my Time Machine backup to the computer. Unfortunately, the migration assistant would not lock onto the Time Machine disk, as if it were not there. What can I do to restore my original files back into the repaired computer?
My imac was purchased new in December of 2008 and the back up disc was connected to it in Aug 2009. I think the original operating system was pre Snow Leopard - the only CD I have and dated 2010.

I am conserned about restoring using setup assistant because I need to transfer personal files and applications only.
You can do that in Setup Assistant.
Migration Assistant doesn't accept Time Machine backups of the computer it's running on; it only accepts compatible backups of other computers. You can't migrate a system to itself. To restore files from the same computer, enter Time Machine in the usual way, or else boot into Recovery and either restore the whole startup volume or erase, reinstall OS X, and restore in Setup Assistant.

IMovie and iPhoto won't run after Migration Assistant

After I used Migration Assistant to transfer my PowerPC files and apps. to my new Intel Mac, iMovie and iPhoto won't open. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks!

sorry, if you have a new mac it should come with the new version of iLife which is what you want to install. My bad. So, insert the istall DVD that came with your new Mac. On that DVD there should be a directory called Optional Installs which should contain a .mpkg file for installing iLife (I don't have an install disk handy so I don't remember the name of the file). double click on that file and it will guide you through the installation process.

I am running the migration assistant, will having the the screen saver on pause the process?
