Lack of Migration support for 6.0 & 10g users

Hi,
One of the 1st things we wanted to do with the beta as an existing customer is to validate migrating a project from our existing Production version (6.0) to 11g.
While the import appears to work, opening any imported diagram throws an XML parsing exception.
After raising an SR, it turns out that migrating from previous versions is unsupported until 11gR2.
This puts me in a tricky spot as one of the main business drivers to adopt 11g is product upgrade.
I am very surprised to see existing customers nt being catered for in the new version, as running multiple versions in Prod is not a realistic option for most.
Backwards compatability is therefore very important to the existing user base!
So, questions for Oracle:
1. Can you please reconsider the lack of migration support for R1?
2. if this feature cannot be working for R1, what is the expected release date (even if its just a quarter) for R2?
3. To save my time, is there a list of what other features are not for going to be available in the Beta / R1 release?
As a Beta tester my time is precious, and I need to know what I can expect to work, rather than report issues only to then find out that its not supported...
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,
You are right in the sense that upgrade will be supported in BPM 11gR2. More specifically, the upgrade will support OBPM 10gR3 to BPM 11gR2. Customers in older versions of OBPM and ALBPM will need to upgrade to OBPM 10gR3 before attempting the upgrade to BPM 11gR2. To upgrade to OBPM 10gR3, there are a series of pointers in our documentation on how to do this. I can explicitly provide links if you are interested in this mandatory upgrade before moving to BPM 11g.
As per the reason for not being able to support upgrade in this first version of BPM 11g, it simply boils down to time to create the new unified BPM platform which in itself is a major undertake from an Engineering perspective. Once the foundation is complete (this is the objective for BPM 11gR1), we will start working on completing the delta to upgrade OBPM 10gR3 projects to BPM 11gR2 as best as possible. There is a document we have been sharing with customers with Best Practices for implementing OBPM 10gR3 projects with idea of an upgrade to BPM 11g. We do have significant knowledge on some pieces that we will be able to automate from a migration perspective and some others that will be hard to upgrade. If you are interested in this document, we can provide this to you.
If you have any other questions, please let me know. I would be more than happy to assist with migration questions with the most up to date knowledge I have on this front.
Regards,
eduardoc.

  • SCUP 2011 support for multiple SCUP console users

    Will Microsoft or does microsoft have a solution to allow for multiple users to upload catalogs and install and use the SCUP 2011 console on workstations? Will SCUP 2011 database support multiple users now or in the future and is it supported? thank you

    I cannot speak to what may lie in the future, but this is what we do to have multiple users in the console. We are just now starting to evaluate SCUP, and this works for a handful of users so far.
    Install WSUS admin console
    Install SCUP 2011
    Copy Scup2011.exe.config to
    c:\Program Files (x86)\System Center Updates Publisher 2011
    Open SCUP console and verify in File-> Options that ConfigMgr Server settings are correct
    Verify Advanced settings are correct as well

  • IPad 2 Lack of Apple support for Display Issue

    Recently I puchased two Ipad2's and one has a distinct yellowish tinge to all display white areas compared to the othe ipad2.  I realise there is some variability in the displays but this is quite a noticable difference leaving the entire display generally darker at various brightness levels compared with other ipad 2's I have compared it with.  For example, entering the  setup menu the greys are much darker and this does not appear to be an intensity issue.  Increasing the brightness does not solve the colouration issue.
    I contacted Apple express support today and as the iPad2 is still within the 14 days I asked for it to be replaced.  The Apple support representative refused stating I had to submit the item for service instead at my nearest apple service agent to have the issue assessed and corrected.  I have apple care on the ipad2 and was under the impression Apple normally honor the 14 day refund / exchange policy.  I spent considerable time on the phone with Apple Australia today and tried a hardware reset and answered several questions etc I am not using a screen protector either as the item is literally just out of the box.  Given the holidays I will not be able to get the unit into Apple servcie until after the 14 days expires.
    Has anyone in the forum experienced a similar issue with the display and had issues with Apple debating if there is a hardware problem with the display?  Or is there any way to fix the issue I have not already tried?  This is really annoying.  Normaly I would not worry about minor display differences but the issue seems to make the images darker on comparative measurements against other ipad2 units including the one I bought for my wife.  The only difference in the latter case is my ipad2 with problem display is a black model 32GB versus the 16GB white model ipad2 my wife has.

    Thanks for the advice, but there is no Apple store within the city I live.  The nearest is 300 km away.

  • Support for rwrun?  (10g)

    When we create reports we are using rwrun and is not using reportserver. How long will it be supported in 10g or more correct, how long will 10g be supported? Could not find any information about it anywhere.
    We are considering to change our system and use the reportserver but want some information to decide how soon we have to do it.

  • Less Outputs means no support for multiroom A/V users

    Currently using an AppleTV over a 12 room system that uses a 8x8 Component Matrix Switch for video and sends the sound via RCA audio to audio only rooms.....new AppleTV with HDMI only is a joke to the high end users....bad enough the original AppleTV lacked composite video output...but doing away with RCA audio will keep the new model out of my A/V rack....so will have to keep using the old model.....Apple had a great product in the original....they should have just added Netflix in a software update for the old model.....big disappointment.

    Elan home systems is the manufacture....I can send 8 video/audio sources to up to 12 rooms on my system.....thing is there are no HDMI or Digital audio inputs .... so I can send Component 720p Video and analog audio throughout the home on 8 Tv's in 12 different rooms...sound only to 4.....to send HDMI to multiple rooms requires more wiring in the home.....plus you need two runs of Cat5 and baluns on each end of run.... long and short is new AppleTV stinks for the Multi room application....the original AppleTV is a great product for multi room system....you can play all your music throughout the home and control with your iphone...can play in one room or all rooms at same time.....was hoping for a new better product from apple instead..for me a less useful device....will keep my old AppleTV

  • Support for 10g database target

    When can we expect OWB10g with support for the Oracle 10g database as a target? Is the only option available to use OWB with a 10g target simply to wait for this release? Patience may be a virture, but it an expensive virture.

    Yes, the upcoming 10g Warehouse Builder release will support the 10g database as a target. Expect Warehouse Builder 10g to release approximately one week after the database 10g for Windows is being released.
    Sorry you have to wait.
    Thanks,

  • Lack of Tech Support and inferior product

    So tired of this lack of tech support for the G2. I'm on my second one. First one had a headphone jack issue that caused the mic to stop working, now this one is doing that, and to top it off I've had to do 3 factory resets in order to send picture messages. Fed up with this.

    Headphone jack is basically shorting out the phone. This is a refurbished "like new" one and I've only had it a month maybe.  The first phone I had replaced on the warranty. If you barely moved it, it would register as you having unplugged the headphones. Eventually it got to the point where the microphone wouldn't work either. So people could talk to me, but I couldn't talk to them. I've tried multiple headphones and auxiliary cords, they all do the same thing. I've googled the problem and it's a known issue with this phone, at least know by the customers, perhaps not acknowledged by LG.
    Picture messaging is working for now, after my second or 3rd factory reset, this is also a known issue, I've gather from perusing the forums. Supposedly a glitch in the new OS. Hear there is talk of a fix in September or August.....I only use the native app to text pictures. I tried sending with data turned off and wi fi on, with data on and wifi off, and with both data and wifi on, and it refuse to compress the picture.

  • No support for 3D in Premiere Pro

    As we all know the major disadvantage of using Premiere Pro is the lack of native support for 3D. The other major editors like Vegus Pro and Edius Pro  do support 3D editing and so Premiere Pro is lagging behind in this technology. With CS5 I was using the Cineform Premium plugin which did make it possible to perform 3D edits. Unfortunatly Cineform does not work properly in CS6 and so Premiere support for 3D is non existant.

    Tim Dashwood's plugin (http://www.dashwood3d.com/) works in AfterEffects (and FCP 7 and X).  Mac only though, I think.  It's one reason I still have FCP 7 on my machine.
    Have you used Edius for 3D?  I'm seriously thinking of putting Parallels on my Mac and trying it out.  I'm less fond of Vegas though I used it for 2D years ago

  • Lack of support for Canon G7 and G9. Alternatives?

    I am really disappointed about the lack of support for the Canon G9, and looking at the list of compatible cameras (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835) I notice that Canon G7 - even if it does not have a RAW format, is not supported either.
    I am thinking that the purchase of the G9 may have been premature and that I may need to sell it and get another cam that is supported by Apple/Aperture.
    What would you guys do? Is there a cam out there similar to the G9 at the moment that has a Apple-supported RAW format?
    Best regards,
    Kjell Are Refsvik

    I think the camera closest to the G9 that has RAW support from Apple are the Panasonic DMC-LX2/Leica D-Lux 3 twins. Don't know where you are, but in the US, the Panasonic costs about $400. 10MP, 28-112mm (35mm equivalent) Leica lens, very compact body, and RAW output. The Leica costs $599, and has that classic look.
    I don't know much about that cameras, but you may want to investigate.

  • DirectTV lack of support for Apple TV channels

    Is there a common site to file a complaint with DirectTV over the lack of support for AppleTV channels?  Or do I have to go to each channels site?
    Thanks for any help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV 1 is very much different than the later Apple TV is. For a start it doesn't support homesharing or airplay. It doesn't have many features of the later Apple TV is such as iTunes march, MLB, WSJ, photo stream and others. Additionally, it does not support re-downloading of TV shows and movies (US only).
    It's also plays lower resolution video only.

  • Can Apple comment on their lack of support for burning CD-TEXT?

    Can Apple comment on their lack of support for burning CD-TEXT?
    I've been getting the runaround from the support people. They said to resolve my issue check out the following kb articles. The articles were aimed at giving me more information about ID3 tags and formats that I care about. I just want my burnt cd's to work in my CD-TEXT capable cd player.
    I've done this using alternate software packages so I know my hardware supports it. I'm really looking for a complete solution for myself (techie) and my wife (non-Techie) to use and make us both happy. I have to admit, this really bothers me.
    I know I'm not the only person asking about this. Please add the support for CD-TEXT to I-Tunes.
    Thanks

    Apple people don't comment here, it's a user to user forum.
    But you've got me interested. CD-TEXT, what is it? Should I just look it up in wikipedia or do you have a better explanation of what it is you're after?

    Hi,
    We are looking to upgrade Oracle Server 8i to the latest version ie. 10g R2. We are running Weblogic 8.1 SP4. On BEA's site the product documentation doesn't specify the 10g R2 support, instead only list support for 9.2.0 and later versions for SP4. Has anyone tried running WL 8.1 SP4 with Oracle 10g R2. We are not looking to upgrade to RAC version of this.
