Live Migration with Different CPU versions on the hosts, win 2012R2 Datacenter

Hello
This question have been asked in different forums but when I read the the thread's I feel that I get mixed answers.
And most answers are dating from 2012 (Win 2008R2), I don't know if they are still correct in win 2012R2.
So now I ask the question myself and hope to get at clear answer :)
We are in the process of installing a new Hyper-V cluster using Win srv 2012 R2 Datacenter as OS.
I'm planning to re-use some of the "old" servers from our current Hyper-V 2008 R2 cluster, removing it from the cluster and do a clean installation of 2012R2 Datacenter.
But I will need to buy two new servers to manage this (with a new version of CPU, same brand (AMD))
Old server: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6172 (12 Cores)
New server:
AMD Opteron™ 6344 (12-core)
Now my question:
Will Live Migration work between these servers in my new cluster without me doing any special settings in hyper-v or in the VM or what do I need to do to get this to work?

Hi,
It is important that all the hardware supporting Windows Server 2012 Failover Clusters be certified to work with Windows Server 2012.
In a cluster where all the nodes of the cluster are exactly the same, hardware migration is fairly straightforward. There are no concerns about differences in hardware, and
especially no concerns about different capabilities of the CPUs.

Live migration with Fault Tolerance (FT)?

Dose the new version of VM server for SPARC (2.1) have an option for live migration with Fault Tolerance (seemlier to VMware FT)? while live migration is great it dose not protect against a server failure vs something like live migration with FT would makes this seamless.
Thanks,
-Eli

Hi,
Thank you very much.
I tried SiteSurvey Plugin, now i know why it doesn't work
These ESX hosts are not compatible with FT, but may contain VMs that are:
esxi02.vclass.local
CPU type Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4150 CPU @ 3.50GHz is not supported by FT.

Setup Central Contract Management SRM 7.01 with differing release versions

Hello experts,
OSS note 1268821 explains how to configure the central contract management between a SRM 7.0 and an ERP 6.04. So far so good, but how should it be handled if there are differing release versions such as ERP 6.04 and ERP 6.03? I guess that a technical split (xml services/ ALE distribution) is necessary?
Assuming that there are some backends with differing release versions and in some cases with differing master data (not supported by central master data client) would you always go via PI? Independent of release version, technology and master data.
Could you give some further detailed informations how to configure such a scenario? What has to be done to transfer existing contracts from an ERP 6.04 into SRM CM component (migration concept)?
Thanks!!!
KR Thorsten

Hi Thorsten
The minimal ECC version is 6.0 EHP4, Central Contracts require certain business functions in ECC to be activated and as these are included within ECC EHP4 you won't have these available in lower version. Therefore you won't be able to operate central contracts in such an ECC system.
You would either have to go with patching these systems or go with GOA's for these systems.
Operating central contracts via PI or SOA i believe provide almost similar functionality. SOA however requires an SRM EHP1 system and ECC EHP5 back-end to operate whilst central contracts configured via PI can be operated onwards from an SRM 7.0 and EHP4 system.
I can't help you on your migration issue, maybe someone else can.
Kind regards,
Tim

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

Is it possible to have 2 icloud (from 2 different iphones with different apple ids) on the same computer?

I am inquiring as to if you can 2 different icloud accounts (that come from 2 different iphones with different apple ids) on the same computer. I would like both iphones to be able to back up to the same computer since we have different accounts/pictures/mail etc.

Yes, if you create 2 seperate user accounts.

How to run 2 different Firefox versions using the same profile

Is it possible to run 2 different Firefox versions using the same profile and still have browsing history saved? I used to be able to do that up until a week ago. What happened was I was using Firefox version 3.6.28(a very old version of Firefox) which I need to use sometimes and then the current version, 36.01. Earlier I would use both my versions of Firefox and the history would be saved if I used both versions but now when version 36.01 came out, its not saving for some reason. Is this a bug? The history is saving during the current session, but say I close out of Firefox and then go back to Firefox, it will still be saved but when I go to my old version of Firefox, the history is saved but then after I close out of that the history on my new current version is all gone and it starts me all fresh, is there a way to get rid of this so that the history will always be saved even if i switch between versions? I could do that before up until Firefox 35.01 but Firefox 36 isnt saving the history from the old version, is this a bug or not? Now I have to create a separate profile for each Firefox so the history I use on the old version is only saved on that version and the history I have on the new Firefox is another profile so that history from the 2nd profile remains but I dont want that. I want to be able to use the same profile so that the same browsing history can be saved using both versions like it was before, I hope people can understand my problem. If not I can further explain, thanks.

@ the-edmeister, I understand that the 2 versions are completely different, however how come the history was saving fine when I switched between firefox 3.6.28 to the current one which was Firefox 32, 33, 34, 35 etc? Like I'm surprised how come now at Firefox 36 this problem started, Firefox 36 isnt that much different from Firefox 35 but yet Firefox 35 was still saving my browser history from the old 3.6.28 version, my 3.6.28 version never upgrades but the new Firefox keeps upgrading whenever there is a new release out automatically and then all of a sudden when the new version of 36.01 came out all my history was gone, so isnt Firefox 35.01 also very much different from 3.6.28 as much as 36.01 is? I hope you got what I meant, thank you for helping.

Get the version of the host app

Hi,
how can I get the version of the host app?
HostObject.getRoot() only gives me the name of the app, not if it's CS6 or CC
(in my case I'm working with Premiere).
And are there any online docs available for these libs?
thanks,
Jeff.

Oh, I forgot all about this post. This is how I got it:
var result:SyncRequestResult = CSXSInterface.getInstance().getHostEnvironment();
                              var hostEnv:HostEnvironment;
                              if((SyncRequestResult.COMPLETE == result.status) && result.data)
                                        hostEnv = result.data as HostEnvironment;
//                                        trace(hostEnv.appVersion);
Thanks!

Data migration between different ECC versions

Is there a way to migrate data between two different ECC versions?
I know that there are differences between the tables and therefore TDMS transports are not possible. But is there another way to get master data from one version (6.0 EHP 3) to another one (6.0 EHP 4)? For example a tool that can prepare the exported data for the import in a higher version?
thx

That's indeed the most feasible option we have on the table right now. Although we have a lot of Z-fields and would need to transfer them with LSMW.
The ZMATMAS has only been built for outbound...

CK24 - mark and release with different costing version

Hi,
We are currently using standard costing variant PPC1 and costing version 1 to mark and release the standard costs. However when we try to recost the material cost due to price changes, system does not allow to mark & release revised standard cost if we try to mark & release on same day. pls note standard cost estimate is already released for the month. And we do not want to delete existing standard cost estimate. Instead we want to explore other options. We are using 4.7.
My questions are :
a) Can recost using costing version 2? CK11N allows to save the costing result. However in CK24 Marking allowance, system does not allow to change Costing Version. is there any config option to change this.
b) If we cannot use different cost version, can we update material cost with same costing variant (PPC1) and costing version (1) in this case. However when we tried to do recost with same costing variant & verison on same day, system gives an error 'Material AAAA in plant MMM has a released cost estimate.'
Any inputs on above issue highly appreciated.
thanks
Sunil

Hi,
While, you can use any of the Costing versions to mark & release Standard cost estimate, you can release Cost estimate only once in a fiscal period. If you want to release correct prices, then you have delete existing released cost estimates using CKR1 transaction and then re-run CK40N to release.
Hope this helps.

Shared Listener with different oracle versions

As a general rule, only one listener is required for a machine as long as all database versions are currently supported. (In other words one listener for Oracle7 and Oracle11g will not work.)
As a general rule, an old listener MAY not be able to handle the features of the newer database (such as transferring blobs was a limitation in Oracle8). Therefore use the newest listener to handle all the databases.
As a general rule, listeners can be considered independent of databases in a sense similar as ASM. Therefore it's not a bad idea to have a separate ORACLE_HOME specifically to install the listener. This is especially useful if you have multiple databases with differing service level agreements,
I'd want to see
1) the output of lsnrctl status
2) any console session stuff and copy/paste to be surrounded by preview tages as described in the FAQ (http://www.oracle.com/technology/forums/faq.html#q14)

Live migration with zones

Hi all,
I have been reading into making "SPARC Private Cloud" whitepapers with LDOM's from Oracle. One thing really pops out from the text which really confuses me:
from Page 8 and 10:
"VMs may also be securely live migrated or automatically started or restarted across any servers in their respective pools. *Zones are cold migrated*"
"Secure live migration—Move domains off of servers that are undergoing planned maintenance. *Zones are cold-migrated*."
Does this really mean that if I have zones inside LDOM guest, I can live migrate the LDOM guests but not the zones? Hence zones will go down if I do this? If so, whats the reason behind this, its hard to grasp the idea that the OS itself can be live migrated, but not zones inside it that are using the same kernel, binaries etc from it....

- Jukka

Lumi, I'm pretty sure they are comparing LDOMs with zones on a standalone system (i.e. no LDOMs).
When you migrate a domain, everything the guest kernel is doing should emerge as it was before.
Migration might take a bit longer than for the GZ alone, since you're using more virtual memory.
To move an NGZ between standalone GZ's, you would indeed have to halt, detach, attach, and boot it.
But please don't take my word for it... feel free to try both methods for yourself. =-)
The only limitation for zones in LDOMs that I'm aware of: You cannot currently set elastic power policy.
Other than that, I don't see why you couldn't keep zones running inside your guest as it moves around.
Hope that helps... -cheers, CSB

How to read data with different XML schemas within the single connection?

I have Oracle 11g database
I access it through jdbc:oracle:thin, version 11.2.0.3, same as xdb.
I have several tables, each has one XMLType column, all schema-based.
There are three different XML schemata registered in the DB
I may need to read the XML data from several tables.
If all the XMLTypes have the same XML schema ,there is no problem,
If the schemata are different, the second read throws BindXMLException.
If I reset the connection between the reads of the XMLType column with different schemata, it works.
The question is: how can I configure the driver, or the connection to be able to read the data with different XML schemata without resetting the connection (which is expensive).
The code to get the XMLType data is textbook implementation:
1 ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery( sql ) ;
2 String result = null ;
3    while(resultSet.next()) {
4 SQLXML sqlxml = resultSet.getSQLXML(1) ;
5 result = sqlxml.getString() ;
6 sqlxml.free();
7 }
8 resultSet.close();
9    return result ;

It turns out, that I needed to serialize the XML on the server and read it as Blob. Like this:
1    final Statement statement = connection.createStatement() ;
2    final String sql = String.format("select xmlserialize(content xml_content_column as blob encoding 'UTF-8') from %s where key='%s'", table, key ) ;
3 ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery( sql ) ;
4 String result = null ;
5    while(resultSet.next()) {
6 Blob blob = resultSet.getBlob( 1 );
7 InputStream inputStream = blob.getBinaryStream();
8 result = new Scanner( inputStream ).useDelimiter( "\\A" ).next();
9 inputStream.close();
10 blob.free();
11 }
12 resultSet.close();
13 statement.close();
14
15 System.out.println( result );
16    return result ;
17
Then it works. Still, can't get it work with XMLType in resultset.On the client unwrapping XML blows up when trying to switch to different XML schema. JDBC/XDB problem?

SCC with different LabVIEW versions

Hi. I have many different projects, and some of them are in older versions of LabVIEW. I was wondering if there is support and what kind of support there is for older versions in the SCC tools of LabVIEW 6.1

We don't offer any cross versions tools for the source code control because VIs are generally saved in the LabVIEW version in which they were edited. If you want to use SCC with a project in an older version of LabVIEW, we recommend checking the files out of the master directory into the local, opening the VIs from the old local with LabVIEW 6.1, saving, and putting the VIs in a new project with the 6.1 SCC. This way you leave the old master directory intact for backup purposes.

Items in the shopping cart appear with different price than in the catalog

Hi All,
We are running SRM 5.0 (Classic Scenario) with external catalogues.
After selecting items from the external catalogue and transferring them to the shopping cart, the items appear with different price(the problem exists in the productive system)
The strange thing is that there is no dependence or sequence between the differences. For example, in one shopping cart, one item is with correct price, the price of the other item is not correct (when I click on the icon which is showing item details in the catalogue, the price is different than the one in the shopping cart). Sometimes the difference is significant, sometimes not - if the item price in the catalogue is 22.34 EUR, in the shopping cart is 21.22EUR or if the item is 45.62EUR in the shopping cart is 45.60 EUR. There is no logic.
I tried to create a shopping cart in the support system, with the same items from this catalogue, and they are sent back in SRM with the correct prices.
I traced all OCI parameters, sent from the supplier catalogue, and everything is correct.
At the example given below the price in the shopping cart ordered in the productive system is 69.00CZK, and after that during the test the correct price of 73.870CZK has appeared.
NEW_ITEM-DESCRIPTION==Durable-KeyClip-keytag%2C+black
NEW_ITEM-MATNR==
NEW_ITEM-MATGROUP==
NEW_ITEM-QUANTITY==10
NEW_ITEM-UNIT==EA
NEW_ITEM-PRICE==73.870
NEW_ITEM-PRICEUNIT==1
NEW_ITEM-CURRENCY==CZK
NEW_ITEM-NEW_ITEM-LEADTIME==1
NEW_ITEM-VENDOR==
NEW_ITEM-VENDORMAT==0176%2F1957001
NEW_ITEM-MANUFACTCODE==
NEW_ITEM-MANUFACTMAT==
NEW_ITEM-CONTRACT==
NEW_ITEM-CONTRACT_ITEM==
NEW_ITEM-SERVICE==
NEW_ITEM-EXT_QUOTE_ID==
NEW_ITEM-EXT_QUOTE_ITEM==
NEW_ITEM-EXT_PRODUCT_ID==23109
NEW_ITEM-EXT_SCHEMA_TYPE==UNSPSC
NEW_ITEM-EXT_CATEGORY_ID==55121504
NEW_ITEM-LONGTEXT_1%3A132==Durable-KeyClip%0D%0Akeytag%2Cblack%0D%0A%0D%0A6pc
I checked the error log in SLG1 for BBP_OCI, and no error message exists. In my opinion the problem can be in supplier system, because otherwise all items will be with wrong price. And at the moment, there are shopping carts in which all items are with the correct price!
It is not something in the user profile, because in one shopping cart created by one user some items are correct, some of them not.
I also checked with the supplier, they said that they haven't change the price, recently.
Has somebody of you met this problem?
In the IMG-> Define External Web Services (Catalogs, Vendor Lists etc.) I have set all parameters for the standard call structure: the URL of the supplier, our company ID and password for their catalogue.
In the Detail view for the catalogue, the following parameters are set
u201CAdditional functions in the product catalogueu201D field:
-     Display product data again in the catalogue
-     Validate product data from SAP Enterprise Buyer
-     Find supply sources
u201CTechnical Settingsu201D field
- Use Error Log
Thanks,
Desi

That means that we are not maintaining material numbers in SRM, so there are no predefined price or info records for that materials in R/3 system, or in SRM.
In the set up of external catalogues, validation of the price is set. Which means that, if a new shopping cart is created from already existing one, and meanwhile, a change of the price is done by the supplier in the catalogue, the new item price will be adopted in the shopping cart.
No prices are maintained in the SRM system, everything is from the supplier catalogue.

Problems with multiple TestStand versions on the same computer

I installed LabVIEW 2014 and TestStand 2014; then later I installed TestStand 2010 SP1 and have been using it since. (I also updated LabVIEW 2014 to 14.0f1; I think I did that after installing TestStand 2010 SP1.) Is this "legal?" I have been seeing strange behavior with TestStand 2010 SP1:
- if I type in any expression text boxes in the Sequence Editor (e.g., for a pre-expression), I periodically get an error dialog as I type:
"The .NET support dll could not be loaded. This is caused by an assembly path that could not be resolved. Error Code: -18700, The .NET support dll could not be loaded. This is caused by an assembly path that could not be resolved! Source: 'TSAPI'
After I acknowledging the dialog, I can contine to type a little more before getting the dialog again, but it doesn't seem to invalidate anything I type.
- If I open the Simple LabVIEW Simple User Interface that ships with TestStand 2014 while TestStand 2010 SP1 is active, LabVIEW immediately crashes. I can open all the subVIs without a problem, but the top-level VI always crashes LabVIEW.
So I used the TestStand Version Switcher to make TestStand 2014 active, opened the top-level Simple UI VI, and deleted all the UI controls. Then I switched back to TestStand 2010 SP1, and then I was able to open the top-level VI. I added back the TestStand UI controls to the VI, and now the VI runs. But many operations return a TestStand error dialog, such as Close Execution ("Value invalid or out of range [Error Code: -17300]"), Logout ("Cannot find item to select in ComboBox [Error Code: -2147467259]"), and (critically) Exit ("Operation Failed. Error Code: -17500]") and the X in the upper right corner of the window ("Operation Failed. Unknown System Error in <VI name>"). So I can't exit without killing LabVIEW.
These two issues may be unrelated. But maybe installing an older version of TS after installing a newer version is not a valid use case? Is the ActiveX error a result of this? Should it be possible to use a (simple) UI written for a newer version of TestStand be able to work with an older version of TestStand?
I have another issue that is probably unrelated, but I'll bring it up here just for completeness. If I right-click on a LV property node or invoke node for a property or method from the TS API and ask for help for the property or method, a command window flashes briefly before showing the TS help window with the top-level item selected (i.e., it doesn't take me to the help for the selected property or method). I have this problem with either version of TS active, and I saw this problem even before I installed TS 2010 SP1. I seem to recall having this problem once before, but I can't find the solution. I don't know if this problem is an indication of some other larger problem.
For what it's worth, I am running WIndows 8.1 on a virtual machine.

Thanks for the information, Doug. Maybe the ActiveX error dialog I get while in the sequence editor is related to the fact that I'm running an unsupported operating system.
So using a UI that was created in a newer version of TS is not supposed to be able to run with an older version of TS. Is there any way to enforce this (like having a dialog appear informing you of the incompatibility when the TS engine is loaded) and avoid an immediate crash? (Maybe the crash has to do with the incomaptible OS as well.)
Is there a way to "relink" a UI to an older version of TestStand? Can you just relink all the ActiveX reference controls/constants to the TS ActiveX servers? As far as I can tell, everything I am trying to do with the new TS version should work with the old version. And also, as far as I can tell, the TS version switcher changes the version of the available ActiveX server; so unless my UI uses a feature unavailable in older TS versions, I would think it shouldn't know the difference. (I'm making a lot of assumptions in that last statement, so I may be totally wrong here.)
Thanks,
Jeff
