IDSM-2 upgrade process questions.

Hello,
I started a new job and have been tasked with looking into what we can do with the IDSM-2 module we have in our 6509. The company has not been using the module so it hasn't been updating in a few years. I do not have a current license so I know I cannot install new signature updates, but what I would like to do is upgrade the software to version 7.0(5a)E4. Once I have it upgraded I would like to configure it in our environment and then see about getting a signature license.
I have a few questions regarding the upgrade process, and could use some assistance.
First the IDSM is currently running version 5.1(3)S256.0. From what I have read I don't believe I can go directly to 7.0(5a)E4 so my Planned Upgrade Path is: 5.1(3)S256.0 -> 5.1(8)E3 -> 7.0(5a)E4.
Am I able to upgrade this way or is there another recommended way that I should do this upgrade?
The files I have for this are below, will they be enough or am I missing any?
Do I apply them in the order listed?
Can I apply all of these files from the IDM GUI?
IPS-K9-5.1-8-E3.pkg
IPS-engine-E3-req-5.1-8.pkg <--- Is this included in the above file?
IPS-K9-r-1.1-a-5.1-8-E3.pkg
IPS-K9-7.0-5a-E4.pkg
IPS-K9-r-1.1-a-7.0-5a-E4.pkg
I plan on backing up my configuration first just in case, but should this process have any affect on the configuration?
I also saw that the upgrade will convert the configuration, so should I back it up a second time between the 5.1(8)E3 and 7.0(5a)E4 step?
Will there be any effect on network traffic or downtime during this process?
Is there any thing else I need to be aware of or that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance,
Will

Hi Will. Since you indicated that this sensor has not been in-use, it would be quickest/easiest to simply re-image it directly to the desired version (7.0(5a)E4). Additional benefits of doing this are that the sensor's filesystem will be created clean, OS/binaries cleanly installed, no potential config conversion issues, etc.
Step-by-step instructions for doing this can be found here.
And, the System Recovery Image file you will need ('IPS-IDSM2-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.0-5a-E4.bin.gz') can be downloaded here.
Will there be any effect on network traffic or downtime during this process?
That depends on whether the sensor is configured in Promiscuous Mode or Inline [VLAN Pair] Mode. You can determine this from the Catalyst config. If the sensor is installed in Inline [VLAN Pair] Mode, then certainly the re-image (and even just upgrade) could be traffic-impacting (if there is no alternative/backup path for traffic to take), as in both scenarios, the sensor is rebooted and not available for ~10 minutes (during which time, it would not be forwarding traffic (if it were installed Inline)). Additionally, since re-imaging results in a clean/default config, if the sensor were configured Inline, that portion of the config would have to be re-input post-reimage so that the sensor would know to forward traffic accordingly again. Details about the modes can be found here.

BPC 7.5 upgrade process - Doubts

Hi,
Once we had the confirmation and approval to upgrade the system from SP00 to SP03 (on .NET server components), we noticed that some functional configurations had been made in the meantime. This new scenario where new things had been done from a functional perspective makes me wonder if any of that configuration could be lost while or after upgrading the server component?
Also, after reading Note 1453797 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP03 NW Central Note, section "Before you install" to be more specific it says to uninstall any previous version of the .NET server and client components. Also Scott recommended me that as a best practice. This applies when the upgrade is being done from BPC 7.0 to BPC 7.5 for example or it also applies to my case (uprading BPC 7.5 system from SP00 to SP03)?
Thanks again for your help.
Regards

Hi Ethan,
Thanks for the quick response.
Actually I'm new installing BO BPC and maybe I've not used the correct words to describe that configuration I've detected while trying to install SP03. What I've noticed is that an Initial Application Set has been created. Actually, this is the only thing I have found but I'm not sure if that imply any other configurations either in .NET server or ABAP server that could be lost after upgrading the server component from SP00 to SP03. The same question arises if I decide to uninstall the current installation to perform a fresh one using SP03 directly as its described in note 1453797.
In summary, is there any chance to lost the configuration made on a BPC system (.NET and ABAP servers or client) if any of the above upgrade process is performed?
Hope being clear enough this time thanks so much for your help.
Kind regards

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 ...

Upgrade process to SAP Solution Manager 7.1

Hello!
We use SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) and plan to upgrade to the new SAP Solution Manager 7.1.
We currently do not have Java Stack there.
Some questions about Upgrade process
1) Can a direct Upgrade from SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) to SAP Solution Manager 7.1 be realized?
2) Should we first install Java Stack and then proceed with the Upgrade or otherwise?
3) Will Windows 32 Bit and None-Unicode Version of SAP Solution Solution Manager be supported?
It will be great to get some helpful information.
kind regards

Hello!
Trying to answer your question
1) As described in note 1244225, there no restriction to upgrade the Solman EHP1 to solman 7.1. Refer to the section:
In case you do not participate in this current Solution Manager 7.1 beta shipment there are no restrictions for implementing now SP stack 25 and upgrading in the future to an equivilant SP stack of release 7.1."
2) The Solman EHP1 must always be a dual stack system, I am not sure, how you are running the Solman EHP1 without a Java Stack, you should have one.
3) I am not sure if there will be a Solman 7.1 32Bit Non-UNICODE version. But, SAP recommends to run Solution Manager on Unicode (see also customer letter on http://service.sap.com/Unicode). At solman EHP1 there are some issues when running the system as Non_UNICODE, refer note 1383407.
I am not sure if I could clarify all your doubts.
You may check the following URL:
http://service.sap.com/instguides
- SAP Components
- Solution Manager 7.1
As this is a very new software there is few documents in it, but soon you should see a upgrade guide here.

XI3.0 simple upgrade - Few questions

Hi Gurus,
I ran into some issues with my upgrade to XI3.0 from XIR2 SP4. I was using a simple upgrade method.
1- It seemed like the upgrade was going fine throughout. I stopped all the services before upgrade (including Tomcat). When prompted for tomcat5.5 ports, I used the default values though the XIR2 tomcat uses those ports. I thought it should not be a problem because XIR2 tomcat is stopped anyways. After the install, I noticed that the cmc and infoView folders in tomcat55/work/catlina/localhost were missing. Needless to say that CMC and InfoView did not work.
2- I thought I'll uninstall and use different ports, but the uninstall did not work. i tried both through the media and through Add/Remove programs. The media uninstall gave a 'Fatal Error' in the end and the Add/Remove program errored immediately saying 'Error applying Transforms......'
Questions:
1- I'd like someone to first please confirm that what I noticed after the install was because I used the same port numbers.
2- How can I make the uninstall to work?
3- Since the upgrade process migrated the repository, can I uninstall XIR3 and 3.0, perform a new 3.0 installtion that uses the (migrated) repository?
Thanks,
Kashif

Hi,
Addition to the above
go for 7.11 (i.e ehp1 of 7.1) ..as it have other features to use..
especially proxy feature in AAE (using XI protocol in SOAP) and also Idoc packaging which will be veryful ..
for compatible side 7.1 onwards we have pattern in service interface(message interface) with XI 3.0 stateless..

CF 9 Upgrade process Ran All Scheduled Tasks

I just completed the upgrade process from CF8 Enterprise to CF9 Enterprise on our test system, Windows 2003 R2P2 using IIS6 and SQL Server 2000. I have no schedule tasks with an active schedule, but the upgrade process ran all of the tasks. Running all of the scheduled tasks created 200+ e-mails.
Any ideas on what happened? I ran the coldfusion_9_wwe_win.exe and installed the CF9 ODBC and CF9 SOIR services.
If this happened on my TEST system (with no actively scheduled tasks) what's going to happen when I upgrade my production system?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Libby

I can't answer your specific question (*), but I would seriously reconsider your approach of UPGRADING a CF server. Set up CF9 in parallel, and migrate the application/website across to it.
If you do an inline upgrade and it fails: you've got nothing to fall back on. If you to a "cross-grade", your working CF8 instance is still there as a fail-over, if anything goes wrong with the CF9 install.

Is "Geography Name Referencing Program" part of upgrade process?

Hi all,
We have been upgraded to R12.1.3 and currently into first iteration.
When querying the old transaction from Transaction workbench window we get, ""The system cannot determine geographical information for this location and cannot derive a tax jurisdiction. Please contact your system Adminstrator" error.
I have run the "Geography Name Referencing Program" after getting this error. and that error got resolved.
Kindly Advice, "Geography Name Referencing Program", is it a part of upgrade process or we have to manually run the program.
Thanks,
AtulR

I have seen the same document and ran the Geographu run referencing program. But my question here is, should we run this program immediately before releasing to Application team which is going to work on Applications
Have you reviewed the post concurrent programs which are kicked off as part of the upgrade process to verify if the concurrent program was completed successfully or not? The program will be submitted by the upgrade process (as mentioned in the doc that you have already reviewed) and if that's the case the point here is to verify if it completed successfully or not.
If the program ran successfully and you still hit the same issue then please review the docs in my previous reply. If the docs don't help then please log a SR.
If the program failed to run then you will need to run it manually.
If the program was never run by the upgrade then run it manually.
Thanks,
Hussein

10.6 Upgrade CD Question

I can't wait to get the 10.6 upgrade. The only question I have, regarding the upgrade CD, if I ever clean wipe my system and re-install from scratch will I be able to use that CD to install 10.6 directly or will I need to install 10.5 and then 10.6? Thanks.

There are at least half a dozen topics about this posted here in the last few days. While nobody can be absolutely sure about it until the upgrade discs are in users' hands, according to second-hand info that posters claim came from Apple support, you will not be able to install 10.6 directly from an upgrade disc onto an empty HD volume. IOW, Leopard must be first installed & then the upgrade disc used to replace it with Snow Leopard.
This apparently applies specifically to the Erase & Install option we have come to expect from retail OS installer discs. It may or may not apply to the Archive & Install option as well -- my guess (& it is only a guess!) is that it does not & we will have both the "Upgrade" or A&I options to choose from.
Note that if true, a 'clean' install can still be achieved with these discs by first installing Leopard via an Erase & Install & then using the upgrade disc once Leopard is installed. If you don't update Leopard or migrate anything from a backup until Snow Leopard is installed, this should be a very 'clean' install of the new OS, free of any of the detritus users who insist on an Erase & Install seem so obsessed with eliminating.
This is consistent with Apple's statement that Snow Leopard is an upgrade for Leopard -- basically, a slimmed down "lean & mean" version, achieved by eliminating support for the PPC architecture & replacing many of the bundled apps (including core apps like Finder) with 64 bit versions optimized for the Intel architecture. My guess (again, it is only a guess!) is that some of the Leopard system files (especially non-executable data files) will be untouched by the upgrade disc, which may not even include copies of them or the scripts necessary to create them. This would both necessitate & enforce the Leopard pre-installation requirement, & it may speed up the upgrade process.

After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process.

After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process but cannot remember.
Tried to run firefox.exe -P but receive error message:
XML Parsing error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/profileSelection.xul
Line number 18, Column 1:
<dialog
^
Running on Windows XP SP3. No problem whatsoever before upgrading to 27. Sending this from Chrome as I cannot open Firefox at all.

Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
Thank you very much again.
Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.

Moving from 32-bit to a 64-bit OS how will this impact ebs upgrade process

we are planning to upgrade from ebs 11.5.10.2 to r12.1 .3
My concern is since we will be moving from 32-bit to a 64-bit OS how will this impact our upgrade process?

Hi;
we are planning to upgrade from ebs 11.5.10.2 to r12.1 .3
My concern is since we will be moving from 32-bit to a 64-bit OS how will this impact our upgrade process?I assume your EBS single machine. EBS r11 is not certified wiht 64 bit OS.So you need to upgrade first than migrate it 64 bit
See:

Is R3load used in Upgrade process

Hi all,
During Upgrade in CONFIGURATION PHASE when we select
> MANUAL SELECTION OF PARAMETERS & provide values R3load is by default 3
I am pretty confused where R3load is used in Upgrade process
Why is R3load not mentioned in the Upgrade Guide if it is effectively used
SAP ERP 6.0 Including Enhancement Package 4 Support Release 1 ABAP
Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Including Enhancement Package 1
Pls advice on the following
-Rahul

Hi,
As already mentioned R3load is what will load the database tables during Upgrade process. If you have enough resources you can speed up the downtime Upgrade Process using more R3load parallel processes but this will depend in how many CPU's and memory you have. Usually each R3load process will take around 512Mb of RAM and you can use 1.5 R3load processes per CPU.
I have used this numbers given to us by SAP and did not have any problem at all.
Good luck,

I had the same problem when I was doing upgrade R/3 to ECC 6.0.
Check out SAP notes, there is updated SAPup.exe, and if you changed DDIC password, change it with only numbers. then it worked.

WAAS Application Requests - Process Question

Non Technical Process Question
We all have forms we have our users complete when a firewall rule or change is needed. You may even have a similiar documents for when load balancers or DNS changes are required. Does anyone have document they can share that outlines what pieces of information are needed for intergrating applications into WAAS? What about ongoing changes?
Source, destination and TCP port information is really a very small portion of the what needed to maintain a clean a defined methodolgy within the WAAS manager. Does anyone have an example or can describe how you collect the initial information to set up WAAS but how do you keep track of changes that may be needed as the application charaterics change or the server farm expands horizontally?
Thanks - Sam

Sam,
the general answer for detailed information on how to configure WAAS for certain applications is described here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v501/configuration/guide/policy.html
In general, WAAS comes preconfigured for the most widly used applications in the industry.
In order to understand, which configuration is necessary for a new application, one needs to understand the basic options WAAS offers.
These are two options:
1) Use an Application Optimizer (AO) if you need some dedicated protocol know how. ( e.g. (e)MAPI, CIFS, SSL, HTTP, ICA, to name some)
2) Generic TCP traffic is optimized using TCP Flow Optimization (TFO), Data Redundancy Elemination (DRE) and Lempe Liv (LZ) compression.
The in terms of processes, the question is:
1) Is there a policy preconfigured for the new application?
     a) yes
          If an AO is used, does the AO need configuration? ( example: SSL AO requires certificates)
          Do we have specialities which require further fine tuning? ( Answer is mostly: no, Example: non-standard ports)
     b) no
          You define what you need for the application based on the protocol characteristics.
          If you have defined these characteristics you can choose one of the AOs, or define which of the "generic" options fit the traffic. For example, for traffic that is already compressed, it does not much benefit from LZ, so choosing only TFO and DRE. Another example is traffic that has not much of dublicate data, perhaps it does not benefit a lot from DRE, so you configure TFO only.
Does that answer your question?
Thanks,
chris
