Installation Best Practice

Hi Guys
I just bought the Master Collection upgrade from CS5 to CS 5.5 (as part of the deal for auto upgrade to CS6). Are there any best practices I should observe for installing the update to make sure it doesn't gum up or fall over or whatever (or should I just whack the disc in and let it run)???
We're running Win7 SP1 64bit.
Regards,
Graham

Also, as Steve mentioned above, you can Turn off UAC, anti-virus program just to be sure that any of your security settings won't interrupt the application.

"Installation best practices." Really?

"Install Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 on a new partition - The partition must be large enough to contain all the files required by the version of Mac OS X you are installing, the applications you install, and enough room for projects and media…"
As a FCS3 user, if you were to purchase an OS Lion Mac, what would your "Installation best practices" be? It seems the above recommendation is not taking into consideration FCS3s abrupt death, or my desire to continue to use it for a very long time.
Wouldn't the best practice be to install FCS3 on a separate partition with an OS that you never, ever update? Also, there doesn't appear to be any value added to FCS with Lion. That's why I would be inclined to partition FCS3 with Snow Leopard -- but I'm really just guessing after being thrown off a cliff without a parachute.
Partitioning… does this mean I'll need to restart my computer to use FCS? What about my other "applications"? Will I be able to run Adobe Creative Suite off the other partition, or is the "best practice" to install a duplicate of every single application I own on the FCS partition?
Note: This is not to say I'll never embrace FCX. But paying (with time & money) to be a beta tester just isn't gonna happen. If it's as easy to use as claimed, I'm not falling behind, as has been suggested by some. I'm just taking a pass on the early adopter frustration.

Okay, but are you not concerned with future OS updates that may render FCS3 useless? Perhaps our needs are different, but I want and need FCS3 to continue to work in the future.
That "best practices" link up at the top of this page is there for a reason, and it says "partition." What it doesn't say is why, and that's really disappointing and concerning. It's a little late in the game, but I would prefer Apple walk like a man and lay it on the line; the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I'm glad to hear Lion is working okay for you!

Re-installation "best practices"?

well..... Bridge has gone bad..... and I find that I need to reinstall the entire suite to install Bridge..... (feel free to fill in the blanks)
Does a new installation uninstall before installing? are there any best practices for a do-over?
thanks

sorry, it's CS5
The problem that I'm having is with Bridge and unfortunately the recommendation is to uninstall first but Bridge seems to be one of the components without an uninstaller, or individual installer. So after reinstalling I seem to have the same problems. I posted here in the PS forum because it seems that the installer is linked to the PS install.

Client on Server installation best practice

Hi all,
I wonder on this subject, searched and found nothing relevant, so I ask here :
Is there any best practice/state of the art when you have a client application installed on the same machine as the database ?
I know the client app use the server binaries, but must I avoid it ?
Should I install a Oracle client home and parameter the client app to use the client libraries ?
In 11g there is no more changeperm.sh anymore, doest-il prove Oracle agrees to have client apps using server libraries ?
Precision : I'm on AIX 6 (or 7) + Oracle 11g.
Client app will be an ETL tool - explaining why it is running on DB machine.

Given the premise "+*when*+ you have a client application installed on the same machine as the database", I'd say you are already violating "best practice".So I deduce from what you wrote, that you're absolutely against coexisting client app and DB server, which I understand, and usually agree.Then you deduce incorrectly. I'm not saying there can't be a justifiable reason for having the app live on the same box, but as a general rule, it should be avoided. It is generally not considered "best practice".
But in my case, should I load or extract 100s millions of rows, then GB flow through the network, with possible disconnection issues, although I could have done it locally ?Your potentially extenuating circumstances were not revealed until this architecture was questioned. We can only respond to what we see.
The answer I'm seeking is a bit more elaborate than "shouldn't do that".
By the way, CPU or Memory resources shouldn't be an issue, as we are running on a strong P780.

I am working on a MSSQL - 2008 R2 , based data warehouse building. The requirement is to read source data from files, put it in stage database and perform data cleansing etc .. and then move the
data to data warehouse db .. Now the question is about the required number of physical servers and in which server which component (MSSQL , SSIS ) of MSSQL should be installed based on any best practices:
Store Source files --> Stage database --> data warehouse db
The data volumne will be high ( per day 20 - 30 k transactions) ... Please suggest
Thank you

Installation - Best Practices

Howdy everybody,
I want to know if is recommended that i install Oracle Database (XE, Enterprise, Standard) using oracle-validated, yum install (from internet) or using packages from DVD - Media ?

rpm -Uvh libaio.1234.rpm
rpm -Uvh unixodbc.1234.rpm
what is command full to install?
and about Enterprise and Express, is necessary that I install all packages from dvd for Oracle Express? or only Enterprise?
Thanks everybody!

Lucas

what you think?
What do I think?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bufTna0WArc
The 'oracle-validated' package is actually just a specification of packages that are needed to support oracle. It will not download anything that is not needed to support oracle. If you would rather do rpm package installs from the distribution media, and thus enter into 'package dependency hell' -- well, knock yourself out.
And about oracle express, is necessary that you install all packages? similar is enterprise?What do the Installation Guides say?

PI UDS - Installation Best practices

Hi all:
Per the installation guide the only requirement is to have the PI API installed on the same box as the UDS.
I have the following questions on installing the UDS Framework & PI UDS. Appreciate your answers:
1) Can this be installed on the xMII server with along with the PI API/SDK?
2) Can this be installed on any machine with the PI API/SDK installed?
3) What operating systems does it work with and Is a server class machine a requirement?
4) If the only option is to install this on the PI server, are there memory or CPU requirements to runs this?
5) What is the expected network data packet size and frequency? Im assuming this is a background task that continually runs.

Srinivasan,
1.) I would highly recommend the native connections vs OLEDB is every case where you can get to the data you require from the native xMII UDS. The only reasons you would favor the OLEDB UDS is in cases where you can not retrieve the data from the native xMII UDS.
As for the instabilities, we feel that we have resolved all the issues in the upcoming release, but if you still find a situation where the xMII UDS fails, please send in a support case and the appropriate fixes will be done.
The current known issues with the 4.0.2.5 xMII OLEDB UDS are as follows.
- Unicode characters are not always correctly handled.
- Administrative modes are not accessible.
- Other smaller minor fixes.
- The connection string dialog is populated and encoded correctly.
2) Currently the new xMII UDSs are in Acceptance Testing and there is no access to the xMII OLEDB UDS. We are all trying very hard to get this through the process as quickly as possible, but with testing resource issues, it may still take some time.
Martin.

Quick Question: CS6 Installation Best Practice

Hi Guys
I have CS5 and CS5.5 Master Collection running on my PC (Win7 64bit SP1, Intel Core i7 2.67ghz, 24 gig RAM) and I've just taken ownership of the CS6 upgrade. When I loaded MC CS5.5 I had a bunch of errors, which turned out to be related to the update not needing to replace certain existing components of CS 5.
Should I just insert the disk and run or is there anything I should do to prepare this time? Any advice is welcome. I'd like to avoid uninstalling the previous versions but if that's the advice, I'll run with it.
Regards,
Graham

If you need the flash builder and is very important for you then ,
Go to control panel and Uinstall CS5.5 , when you start the uninstall the screen with all the product name will come up , just check flash builder and uncheck everything , It would remove just flash builder.
But forget it f you dont need it or doesn't use it.

Best Practice for SAP PI installation to share Data Base server with other

Hi All,
We are going for PI three tire installation but now I need some best practice document for PI installation should share Data base with other Non-SAP Application or not. I never see SAP PI install on Data base server which has other Application sharing. I do not know what is best practice but I am sure sharing data base server with other non-sap application doesnu2019t look good means not clean architecture, so I need some SAP document for best practice to get it approve from management. If somebody has any document link please let me know.
With regards
Sunil

You should not mix different apps into one database.
If you have a standard database license provided by SAP, then this is not allowed. See these sap notes for details:
[581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=581312]
[105047 - Support for Oracle functions in the SAP environment|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=105047] -> number 23
23. External data in the SAP database
Must be covered by an acquired database license (Note 581312).
Permitted for administration tools and monitoring tools.
In addition, we do not recommend to use an SAP database with non-SAP software, since this constellation has considerable disadvantages

Best Practice for Installation of Both Leopard and Aperture 2 upgrade.

I've finally bought the bullet and purchased both Leopard and Aperture 2.0 upgrade. I've tried searching for a best practice to install both, but haven't been able to find one--only trouble shooting type stuff. Any suggestions, things to avoid, etc would be greatly appreciated. Even a gentle shove to a prior thread would be helpful. . . .
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

• First be really sure that all your apps work well with 10.5.3 before you leave 10.4.11, which is extraordinarily stable.
• Immediately prior to and immediately after every installation of any kind (OS, apps, drivers, etc.) got to Utilities/Disk Utility/First Aid, and Repair Permissions. Repairing Permissions is not a problem fixer per se, but anecdotally many folks with heavy graphics installations (including me) who follow that protocol seem to maintain better operating environments under the challenge of heavy graphics than folks who do not diligently do so.
• When you upgrade the OS do a "clean install."
• RAM is relatively inexpensive and 2 GB RAM is limiting. I recommend adding 4x2 GB RAM. One good source is OWC: http://www.owcomputing.com/.
• After you do your installations check for updates to the OS and/or Aperture, and perform any upgrades. Remember to Repair Permissions immediately prior to and immediately after the upgrade installations.
• If you are looking for further Aperture performance improvement, consider the Radeon HD 3870. Reviews at http://www.barefeats.com/harper16.html and at http://www.barefeats.com/harper17.html.
Good luck!

XREF best practices in ESB cluster installation-OESB10.1.3.3

Hi,
We are using Oracle ESB during last 2 years.
2 months ago I migrated our ESB installation to ESB Cluster in production (1 ESB DT, 1 ESB RT for polling
adapters, 2 ESB RT for further message processing).
We are using SOA Suite 10.1.3.3 with MLR#17 applied.
I faced a issue with XREF (populateXRefRow XPath function) in production system and need assistance.
All our ESB Processes contains next main parts:
1) Polling DB-adapter (or FTP-adapter, this didn't matter) that initiates a ESB process, routing service for that polling adapter
that asyncronously (!) invokes Requestor ABC level services (AIA terms);
2) Requestor ABC level-services perform XREF population and continues message
processing.
XREF population is doing with next steps:
we call lookupXRefRow XPath function, if value is not present in XREF, we doing
populateXRefRow call.
This logic is working fine when we are not using ESB cluster, but now step 2) (ReqABC level) is performed by different ESB servers
and frequently we faced unique constraint violation error on XREF_DATA
population (during populateXrefRow call).
ESB RT nodes using to balance load but transmitted data is intersected. For example, we are poll not documents but document details instead (polling table populated by Oracle Streams, there are no guarantee that document header receives earlier than document details, because our system is high loaded and we are using commit_serialization=none with parallelism at APPLY processes).
Each ESB RT instance can receive different rows of same document and xref population done at document header level.
My question is: what is best practices to work with XREF in ESB cluster installations?
May be other peoples faced with this issue and how this issue was resolved?
I know possible workarounds to accomplish this task: not call populateXRefRow function in XSLT, instead call PL/SQL procedure or function that working same but can ignore any exceptions.
This's solution not liked to me, but I dont know any other solutions.
Also I cannot not populate XREF because XREF actively used in inter-systems communication.

SAP Best practice for Oracle installation on HPux

Hi - I am looking for SAP best practices document to install ERP6 on Oracle 10G platform HPUNIX 31. Is there any sap best practices guide?
Also, for Dev system, I am planning to install ABAP and JAVA stacks in one database. What do I need to do in database level?
Last, How am I going to configure the 2 engines to communicate?
Any reference to documents will be appreciated.
Regards
k

Hi,
Sorry but I'm going to be a bit bold here.
All needed information is on the guides.
1) If you are on Windows, you put the SAP-Oracle CD/DVD in, execute the command mentioned on the installation guide type the two things mentioned on the guide and press next next next. Then you install SAP
2) if you are on UNIX, you start SAP installation, then it stops and tell you to install Oracle. The guide tells you to run RUNINSTALLER (in capitals) you type the two things mentioned on the guide and press next next next. Then you continue the SAP installation.
Of course, those are the simplified versions
No response file is generated "ever". The response file comes INSIDE the installation CDs, for that reason is very important to execute the EXACT commands mentioned on the installation guides, in order to use such, already existing, response file.
I do not understand this need of super-hiper detailed step by step guides.
If you get one like that, then it will be obsolete after one month because there are new Oracle parameters, new oracle patches/patch sets or new .... that have to be done
