LDAP Change in Upgrade from CRS XI to CRS 2008

We are in the process of upgrading from Crystal Reports Server XI R1 to Crystal Reports Server 2008 R1. Both systems are up and operational on separate Windows virtual servers. The old XI installation was using LDAP authentication from a SUN server. The new 2008 installation is using LDAP authentication from an IBM Directory Server.
The question that I have is related to using the Import Wizard. Since we have different third party LDAP authentication vendors and both are operating correctly right now, can we export all of the users, groups, folders, objects, instances, etc from the XI box to the 2008 box? I know we have to import everything together in order to preserve security, but will it work with different types of LDAP users? The LDAP group is different and I wasn't sure if CRS 2008 would recognize the users from the other LDAP group. I cannot find any documentation on changing LDAP server types for an import.

Sorry for the confusion, I did not state that question very clearly. That is exactly what I meant. There is only one group for LDAP that we are not using for security. We have Enterprise groups that we have created that we are using for the bulk of our security setup. I'd like to import the Enterprise groups then assign the new users to imported Enterprise groups.
Thanks so much for your response. It was very helpful!

Mapping changes while upgrading from PI 7.0 to PI 7.31

Hello Experts,
We are upgrading from PI 7.0 EHP 2 to PI 7.31 SP 14 , Dual stack only.
While migration, there are some doubts related with mapping, which are not getting cleared even from going through various blogs like:
Migration Woes?
PI/XI: PI 7.1 upgrade/migration - Message Mappings
Below are my doubts:
As there are mapping changes for IFS, IFSWITHOUT ELSE & Context functions, so exactly what these changes are and how would this work, how can we identify & rectify in all the mappings?
What changes to be performed for Java mapping & XSLT mapping?
Are there any changes for ABAP proxy?
Any help is appreciated
Many Thanks!!!

Hi Lisin,
You need to change in Java mapping accordingly and compile in jre1.6 as many methods used in older version are obsolete now.
You need to write transform instead of execute which was used for PI 7.0
public void transform(TransformationInput in, TransformationOutput out)
throws StreamTransformationException {
You can easily write the code again in message mapping as discussed:
Write Java Mapping directly in ESR!
For XSLT mapping, the older version will be supported as the execution is done using SAP XML Toolkit which is supported in higher versions also.
XSLT Mapping - Managing Services in the Enterprise Services Repository - SAP Library
ABAP proxy will be as it is if you are going for classical scenario as you will be using 7.31 Dual stack.
But if you want to go for AAE Integrated Configuration, you need to do required configuration changes in ECC for outbound Proxy:
Proxy to file scenario using AAE - with full configuration
I am not sure whether you need to change in Graphical standard mapping for those functions which are already there in PI 7.0.

Report Layout Changed After Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

Dear Gurus,
I do functional test of every process in ECC6 after upgrade from 4.6C. I found all report layout changed without variant (it's happen to all Query/SQ01 reports ). So I've to assign manually the fields for the reports, and create a default variant then.
Why it happen ? Is there configuration or setting missed or this is standard while we do upgrade ?
Thx in advance.

ABAP Code Changes During Upgrade from 4.7C to ECC6

Hi all,
I'm in process of collecting information for our next upgrade.
We are on 4.7C and are planning to upgrade to ECC6. We wanted to know what changes shall be required on ABAP side during this upgrade. e.g. certain ABAP commands which are obselete, few tables , few fucntional modules being obselete.
Any specific functional areas/transcation codes being obselete which in turn would make Uer Exit redudant etc.....
Could somebody please help me out with some info regarding this upgrade? Some links or any hint you can give would help me a lot. (Whether technical or functional..all very welcome!).
Thanks in advance

The optimizer changed after upgrade from 8i to 10g

I have upgraded my Oracle database from 8i (8.1.7.3) to 10g (10.2.0.3). After upgraded, there's some SQLs are with performance issue that the response time is very slow. The SQL can run very fast (around 1 seconde) in the pre-upgrade environment. Also, after generating the execution plan, there's different from the original enivronment (8i) which the query using some full table scan instead of index scan originally used in 8i.
The optimizer_mode of 8i is RULE and it's CHOOSE when upgraded.
My questions are:
1. Do I have any init.ora parameters setting in 10g environment which differ from 8i?
2. What method of analyzing tables is appropriate to use in 10g? Will this affect the performance like my case?
Thanks,
Wai

Please have a look to following threads:

The synth pad sound Warm Pad has changed after upgrading from Logic Express 7 to Logic Studio

Hello!
I have composed a lot of songs over the years using Logic Express 7, and my favourite synth pad sound there was a sound called Warm Pad (from the EXS24 Sampler).
A half a year ago I upgraded to Logic Studio, mainly because I needed WaveBurner. Happily, all my songs sounded exactly the same after the upgrade, except from 1 sound: The synth pad sound Warm Pad. It still got the same name and location, but the sound was replaced with a very sharp and much more distinct sound (not warm at all, in my ears at least).
I have tried to replace it with different synth pad sounds from the EXS24 Sampler, and the one I find to come most close to the old Warm Pad from Logic Express, is a synth pad sound called Pad 1. Still, I don’t think it sound exactly the same.
So, in order to finish all my songs and make an album, I ask you for help:
1. Do you know how I can get EXACTLY the same sound as the old Warm Pad Logic Express, with my new Logic Studio?
2. Have you experienced the same with sounds, after upgrading from one Logic version to a newer one? And what have you done to find back to the old sounds?
I will be VERY thankful for help, because I am not a genius in the mysterious (but yet exiting) world of synthesizer synthesis.
Best regards,

I have the boxed version of logic studio.
When you install, if you pick the "ad hoc" installation you can add the logic7 patches to your existing patches.
I think running installation again you should be able to install just that.

Can't Authenticate in LDAP directory after upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5.1

Hi, all
Yesterday I have tried to upgrade my Xserve Intel from 10.4.11 Tiger to 10.5.1 Leopard Server
In my server there is this service:
-AFP
-DNS
-SMB
-Open Directory Master
- XSAN Primary MDC
All works fine but when I try to acces with worgroup manager to LDAP directory I can't authenticate with "diradmin" this thing appen in local machine and with remote worgroup manager connected to the server.
I have tried with "root" user and I have been able to authenticate for some time, (5-15 min.) after It's impossible to access with all user.
The client still authenticate with user and password in all computer with 10.5.1 and 10.4.11 workstation, but now i wan't to add some new users and I can't do That!!!!!
So for now I have restore my old 10.4.11 Server Tiger, but I wish to know if someone have tried new 10.5.2 server upgrade and maybe there is some kind of fix to this problem.
Thank's In Advance

After posting on numerous message boards, and no one having an exact answer, but several making plenty of great suggestions, I think I've finally figured out the cause of this issue or at least part of the cause.
Within 'Server Admin', select "Open Directory",
under: Settings > Policy > Binding
there are six check boxes under "Security"... for testing kerberos, I have been checking the first four boxes, which are:
1. disable clear text passwords
2. digitally sign all packets (requires Kerberos)
3. encrypt all packets (requires ssl or kerberos)
4. block man-in-the-middle attackes (requires kerberos)
through troubleshooting this myself, and doing each change, followed by a server reboot, then immediately attempting to authenticate to /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/, it seems that enabling some, or some combination of these Security settings triggers WordGroup Manager to not accept the diradmin password.
referring to the numbers above (1 through 4)...
2 or 4 by themselves fails
1 and 3 together fails
I haven't gone beyond that for testing and don't know what other combinations works or fails.
I don't know if there is something beyond this that is specific to my configuration or environment that plays a part in this failing. All I know is that turning off all Security checkboxes in this section fixes the problem.
I wonder if anyone who has never seen this problem can try this on their 10.5.2 Server and see if they are still able to authenticate as their diradmin to WGM. Regardless, seems that this is a WGM bug to me, right?
if you are having this problem, uncheck all of these boxes and then reboot before trying to authenticate.

CustomTaskPane Title font size changed when upgrading from 2010 to 2013

I just upgraded my Word project from Office 2010 to Office 2013. The title of my task pane has changed font size considerably. Is there anyway to control the font size of the custom task pane title?
taskPane = Globals.ThisAddIn.CustomTaskPanes.Add(new Ey.Wpp.Word.Controls.WppDocTreeControl(), "WPP Report Pane", ctx.Window);

Hi Jeffki123,
I can reproduce it as you describing. Based on my understanding, the task pane is drawed by Word applicaiton, the Word applicaiton need to make task pane fit the current version of Office.
>>Is there anyway to control the font size of the custom task pane title?<<
No. As far as I konw, we can only change the size and postion of custom task pane. You can get more detail about the task pane from links below:
Custom Task Panes
CustomTaskPane Interface
I suggest that you submit the feedback from link below, if you want to Word expose this function to enable change the font size of custom task pane.

Form element id changed after upgrading from APEX 3.2.1 to 4.0.2

Hi,
We are in the process of testing an upgrade of our APEX 3.2.1 app to 4.0.2. The production database was exported, imported as a new database, and then upgraded to 4.0.2. I've noticed that on pages where we have coded our own PL/SQL process in place of the built-in MRU, the form element id (referenced using g_fxx) has changed. For example, in our existing production system, the id for the first row of data is f06_0001, but when we look at the same page in APEX 4.0 environment, the element id has changed to f08_0001. Is this a known issue when performing an upgrade? Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi,
I have seen this problem.
I assume that Apex 4 do not give fxx name to items anymore in order where columns are in query.
This is one of reasons why we have not been yet able to upgrade.
And it seems this same problem exists in Apex 4.1 on apex.oracle.com

Accessing wwv_flow_files changed after upgrading from 2.0 to 2.2

We have recently moved to 2.2 After the move uploading files, under some circumstances, failed.
Further investigation found that the upload was working fine, accessing wwv_flow_files table had changed in some way.
From the SQL Workshop we could see the files which had been uploaded. From SQL*Plus we couldn't see the same files.
I have read Re: Lost permissions on WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ and see at the end it says that access to wwv_flow_files is not supported from SQL*Plus. That's fine.
The problem we have is that the same limit seems to apply to functions called from within an APEX application. We have a function that at one point issues the following SQL -
SELECT blob_content
INTO l_blob
FROM wwv_flow_files
WHERE name = p_file_name;
(The function goes on to extract rows from the uploaded file to be uploaded into a table).
This function was not able to find the row which we knew was in the table.
Drilling down wwv_flow_files is a view of wwv_flow_file_objects$ with the following condition 'where security_group_id = wwv_flow.get_sgid'
By changing the original SQL to
SELECT blob_content
INTO l_blob
FROM WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$
WHERE name = p_file_name
AND created_by = 'HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER';
we get what we want.
My question is .. as the function is called from with an APEX application, why is the where clause preventing it from accessing the data we need.

Thanks for the details, it's making more sense to me.
The function extracts the rows from the uploaded file and displays them in a textarea.When you say "and displays them in a textarea" it sounds like something that happens during page rendering. But I think maybe your page selects the rows in an after-submit process and puts some content into a textarea item for display during the next page "show". Tell me if I'm on the right track. In 2.2, there's a bug that prevents queries from seeing the just-uploaded "files" or rows until after computations have fired. You need to move any code that selects those rows to a process "after computations and validations" (you could run it as a validation if you really needed to). Let me know if you think this explains what you're seeing. This is fixed, by the way, in 3.0.
The created_by = 'HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER' clause is required as the >>WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ table also contains objects created by other users, for >>example ADMIN (eg APP imports etc)But your predicate specifies "where name=" and name has a unique constraint so you'll get the row you want without specifying created_by.

Menu Position Changed after upgrade from Forms 10 to 11

Hi,
I have upgraded an application from Forms 10 to 11g. Everything is ok apart from the position of the menus.
In Forms 10 the menus are attached to the window they relate to e.g. a pop up form has the menu (normally default&smartbar) displaying at the top of the pop up window but on the 11g version the same menu is displayed at the top of the screen looking like it is attached to the MDI window.
Is there any way of restoring the original functionality in 11g please.
Thanks,
Jim.

It sounds like this has nothing to do with the version, but rather your configuration. To attach the menu to the form window, set useSDI=yes. To attach it to the MDI window, set useSDI=no or leave it unset. This parameter can be set in formsweb.cfg or in the url used to run the form. For example:
http://server/forms/frmservlet?form=myForm&otherparams=useSDI=yes
Note that useSDI is a Forms runtime parameter and not an applet parameter, so it is set through "otherparams".

Subreport doesn't work when upgrading from Crystal 7 to Crystal 2008

I am using a subreport, whose input parameter is input to the Stored procedure.
This used to work fine in Crystal 7. But now we upgraded to crystal 2008.
The same code throws an exception. can any one please help?
Here is the piece of code of stored proc
ALTER PROCEDURE SUMMARYACTIVITY(@HcpID varchar(8)) AS
BEGIN
SELECT @HcpID, RX_PROD_ID, RX_PROD_DESCR, DATE_REP_TERR, NOTE, SAMP_VOUCHER, DISP_ORDER FROM #SUMACT ORDER BY DISP_ORDER DESC, RX_PROD_DESCR ASC
END
even as simple as select @hcpID is throwing exception.
I have another stored proc.
ALTER PROCEDURE PRODSUMMARY (@HCP_ID VARCHAR(8)) AS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #PDSUM
          HCP_ID               CHAR(8) NOT NULL,
          RX_PRODID          CHAR(4) NOT NULL,
INSERT INTO #PDSUM (HCP_ID, RX_PRODID,...)
SELECT
                    @HCP_ID, V.PROD_ID,.....from vw_pcp v
SELECT      HCP_ID, RX_PRODID, ..... from #pdsum
END
This works in crystal 7 and 2008.
Edited by: Lavanya on Jul 31, 2008 3:22 PM

Hi
Just a few points.
1. Are you opening the existing report (Created in CR 7) in Crystal 2008?
2. If yes,I would suggest you to create a new report based on the same stored procedure.Create a new DSN for the database that you are using and the create a report based on that DSN and pointing to the mentioned Stored Procedure.

Upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to 2008

Hi Experts,
We are currently running SAP BPC v 7.0 for Microsoft in a Windows Server 2003 environment. This is not a production application right now as we are doing discovery work in SAP BPC 7.0. For another project, we need to upgrade to windows server 2008.
We are trying to figure out if the SAP BPC will still work after the upgrade. I know SAP BPC is compatible with Server 2008, but do we need to start of a fresh installation or the upgrade will work. We are trying to figure out if we should plan some time to reinstall SAP BPC and re-do the work we have done in BPC once it has been upgraded.
Thanks a lot!
Martin

At this point, BPC 7.0 for Microsoft is not certified for Windows 2008. So, if you prepare and execute the upgrade to the server OS, support may not assist if you find any issues. We plan to be certified on Windows 2008 with the next release of 7.5 for BPC.
Hope this helps.
