Hi vsantuka,

  • How to migrate ACS Database

    Hi,
    I have a CiscoSecure ACS v2.6 for Windows 2000/NT running on my network, Recently we've bought the appliance CiscoSecure ACS Release 4.1(1) Build 23.
    Now, Can I migrate my database from ACS v2.6 for Windows 2000/NT to the appliance ACS Release 4.1(1) ?
    If there is a way to do that I will appreciate your help, The Db is to large to do it one by one.
    Thanks,
    Regards
    Leonardo

    Leonardo,
    You will need to upgrade ACS 2.6 to 3.0.4 then 3.3.3 and then 4.1 on Windows.
    Then configure replication between ACS 4.1 Windows and the ACS Appliance.
    Database of one version cannot be restored/replicated to another version.

  • Saved project from migration does not have video files? Will manually reloacting each video keep the editing intact on the project?

    I had a computer crash but was able to manually drag over and save all my imovie projects. The corresponding videos did not transfer over during the migration. I have had to manually go in and re-import each of the video clips. Will the manually reimported clips automatically replace the missing files and keep the edits intact?
    So for example, a missing file in the project has the first 5 seconds clipped off and some image stabilization. The project says I need to reimport the original source media (File X). I import File X so it is now in the library. Will imovie now recognize File X as the source media and automatically plug it in, complete with the cropped 5 seconds and image stabilization? If it is not automatic, is there a process I need to complete to accomplish this?
    Thankyou very much for the help.

    If you attempt to start a new project and import one of those files does it allow you to simply import them?

  • What's the migration path from ACS v3.3 to ACS v5.1?

    It's a standalone appliance 1112 running on ACS v3.3, how to migrate to another standalone appliance 1120 with ACS v5.1?
    Does CISCO have any documents about this?
    I remember I used to read an article about how to build a temp ACS v4.2 windows to help this kind of migration, could anyone help to send the doc link to me?

    Your basic assumption is correct. There needs to be a two stage process where first migrate to ACS 4.2 on Windows and then from there perform migration to ACS 5.0/5.1.
    When ordering ACS 5.0/ACS 5.1 the disk set includes all the software required to perform this upgrade.
    Going from from 4.2 to ACS 5.0/5.1 is migration; not upgrade; since need this reads a subset of the data items from ACS 4.2 and creates them on ACS 5.0/ACS5.1. This includes the bulk objects such as devices and internal users. However, the policy configuration on ACS 5.1 needs to be performed manually since follows a very different concept.
    The migration guide can be found at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.1/migration/guide/Migration_Book.html

  • Migrating from Windows to the ACS appliance

    I'm in the process of migrating ACS from Windows to an appliance. I did a recovery and I chose to restore the DBs and the system config. However, I'm getting emails from the appliance with the name of the old windows machine where ACS was running. I guess this a result of restoring the system config. Does anyone know how to configure the emails to be sent with the current appliance name? And it is not possible, how can I restore the appliance to factory defaults so I can do the recovery again only for the DBs? Many thanks,

    well ... the easy way out is to re-image the ACS appliance and then replicate between the Windows server and the appliance . This will replicate all your settings from the windows ACS to appliance except the external database configuration that you need to manually configure.
    Note : for replication both the ACS for windows and the appliance should be on the same version .

    HI 
    We have bought new ACS5.6 SNS3415 Boxes , earlier we have ACS4.2.1.15   , now we want to migrate the data from old ACS to new ACS.
    We have downloaded the ACS and trying to install 4.2.1.15 but getting the error

    So we have installed the eval-ACS-4.2.0.124-SW  successfully. And now we are trying to install the 4.2.1.15 but we are getting eth below error
    " 4.2.1.5 can not be installed on EVAL version"
    How can we resolve this so that we can migrate the data to ACS5.6 via migration utility.

  • Migration Assistant overwrote my life - can I get it back?

    Hi folks
    This experience constitutes my first real Mac burn, and I'm not going to lie, it hurts.
    Yesterday I used Migration Assistant to move from my Mac Pro to my new MacBook Pro.  I had already been using the MacBook Pro, and had gotten my media life up and running on it with 300+ gigs of music and about 50 gigs of photos.  My research on this forum before doing the migrate suggested that nothing would be overwritten.
    Instead, everything associated with the user account I'd been slowly building anew on the MacBook Pro was overwritten with whatever was in my old Mac Pro.  All I wanted was for the files, applications, and application settings to be added to my new system, not to overwrite it completely.
    Does anyone know if I can reverse this process.  I admit to foolishly not backing up the MacBook before migrating - I have always backed up my content manually, so have never used Time Machine to backup my actual system.  I have backups of everything that was overwritten, but I had intentionally removed it from the Mac Pro in order to start afresh on the MacBook.  Will I need to start afresh again, or can I somehow reclaim everything from the MacBook user account that was overwritten.
    In addition, the two computers had the same name, so when I was asked to rename one I chose to rename the old system with the suffix "crap" thinking I would have no further use for it, because I assumed the MacBook I was migrating to would never be overwritten.  Instead, I'm now stuck with a crappy name. I would like to change it.
    Any help with this mess would be great.
    I have to say that my experience with Migration Assistant was wretched. It took me a day to get the two computers actually communicating in order to do the migrate.  The estimates of time to completion were preposterously off - it took over an hour to complete the last "less than a minute".  And the purpose and actions of the program were very poorly indicated.  I did not just jump into this, but spent hours reading up, only to wreak utter havoc on my digital life.
    A sad day in my life with Mac.

    Sorry to hear about the mess - I had a similar experience last year. The problem with MA is that you have already established an account, etc, etc - so you wind up with overwritten or - in my case - duplicate accounts and/or folders, messed up permissions, and the list goes on.
    However, Setup Assistant, which is only offered once - right after the welcome screen when you first boot up the new Mac - will simply port over everything and should work just fine (althought they are both essentially the same procedure, the huge difference is that if you use SA, you don't have anything set up on the new Mac yet).
    So, the easiest would be (as long as you still have everything on your old Mac): insert install disk on the new Mac, after selecting language, to to Utilities at top, choose Disk Utility, and erase your hard drive. Once done, let Installer start and have a firewire cable ready. After the welcome screen, follow the on screen instructions for Setup Assistant and you should be fine.

  • How do I use Migration Assistant to get my Mail and Keychain settings from

    How do I use Migration Assistant to get my Mail and Keychain settings from my Power Mac G5 2.3Ghz? I just purchased a new 2.5 MacBook Pro which will be delivered tomorrow, and I want to to know how to transfer Mail and Keychain?
    Thank You in advance for your reading and replying.
    Kindest Regards,
    Sebastian

    Rather than using Migration Assistant, which can cause trouble with the PPC to Intel change, simply boot the G5 in FireWire target disk mode and manually transfer the following:
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    You might want to look over Kappy's helpful guide for migrating, which covers the full process for a manual migration (including the above files).
    Hope this helps...

  • ADF/Swing/JClient application migration problem from 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.3

    Hi,
    I am migrating an application from JDev 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.3 in order to deploy it to a java 1.6 JVM which is only certified with JDev 11.1.1.3
    No matter what I do the DataBindings.cpx file content is emptied by the IDE, the migration was successful => no errors displayed.
    I tried to solve the problem by doing the following but the file stays empty:
    1) the removing the project from the application and adding it again, migration is done again => FILE EMPTY
    2) adding manually the content in the source file then running XML validation => no errors, I close the file, reopen it and EMPTY AGAIN!
    Your is needed and will be appreciated!
    Thanks

    Ok it seems I have resolved my problem see end of thread
    Still have following relevant question for an Oracle team member:
    Why is my <pageMap/> empty in my migrated application cpx file?
    => when I create a new ADF Swing application this tag is not empty:
    in new file:
    <pageMap>
    <page path="view.PanelPhotolabVO1" usageId="view_PanelPhotolabVO1PageDef"/>
    </pageMap>
    <pageDefinitionUsages>
    <page id="view_PanelPhotolabVO1PageDef"

    in migrated file:
    <pageMap/>
    <pageDefinitionUsages>
    <page id="PanelWeventEditParamVO1UIModel"
    path="com.photoswing.view.web.PanelWeventEditParamVO1UIModel"/>
    Solution to empty migrated cpx file:
    It seems the migration utility couldn't cope with the BC4JDataControl definitions, so I edited them manually.
    Example of 10.1.3... syntax:
    <dataControlUsages>
    <BC4JDataControl Configuration="BaseTablesAMLocal"
    Package="com.xxx.model.system"
    xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/datacontrol"

    <Parameter name="Name" value="BaseTablesAMDataControl"/>
    <Parameter name="id" value="BaseTablesAMDataControl"/>
    </Parameters>
    </BC4JDataControl>
    New syntax:

  • Migrating from Powerbook G4 to Macbook Pro - Anything I need to know?

    I'm about the begin the process of migrating from one computer to the other. I have cleaned/tidied up my powerbook, tossing old files and making sure all is in order.
    Is there anything special I need to know?
    Here are my specific questions before I get started:
    1. Email/Calendar: currently on powerbook, I'm using entourage for email and calendar. Basically I like the calendar system because back a few years ago when I was needing a calendar, the entourage calendar made more sense to me. I've heard that "Mail" is much better these days. Is it? Can I import my current email settings in powerbook/entourage into MBP/mail and be good to go? Will my calendar import or will I need to start over? Do you recommend the calendar system in MBP or should I keep entourage. Let it be known: I HATE ENTOURAGE. ABout twice a day, it crunches and "freezes" while it does something behind the scenes and during that time, I can do nothing with EMAIL. Bleh on MS.
    2. I know I will use the migrate wizard in utility folder. Will it move my applications or will I need to reinstall photoshop, etc? Will it move my keychain (embarassingly enough, I require this tool as I can't remember the gazillion passwords I have)? Will it move my settings?
    3. Anything else I need to be aware of in the process?
    Thanks for your help!

    If you could copy you mail and ical data over and not use the migration software. You would have possibly a more stable machine.
    If you was going intel to intel then migration would be OK, but you going PPC to intel and you dont want it moving over any odd PPC app. You really want it to run all intel versions.
    You can copy the folder and pref files that are on your old Mac over to the same locations on the new one and it will all work OK, keychains you would need to just make a not of the passwords and add them again.
    We tend to only use the migration as a last resort to ensure the best possible migration we copy only required data and files manually and re install any third party apps as most put to many files all over the place that makes copying them tricky. Then try and make sure you have all intel version of any of your old third party apps to stop ressetta kicking in and eating up your free RAM.
    If you can do this then your not moving any redundant files across, a clean system is a better system.

  • What are the points which the migration program does not support?

    Hi,
    I have a question about migration program 'RSEC_MIGRATION'.
    As described in 'Running the Enterprise Data Warehouse',
    in 'Frequently Asked Questions - Business Intelligence in SAP NetWeaver 2004s',
    this program supports about 80% automatic migration
    according to some documents.
    What is the rest 20%?
    What doesn't this program support?
    Though it may be difficult to make a list for that
    because settings of authorization objects are various,
    I think SAP should list up as many important points
    which this program does not support as possible
    by using some examples.
    If SAP thinks of delivering such a list,
    when will it be delivered?
    Best regards,
    Kaito Hosoyamada

    Hi Kaito,
    this statement relflects the fact that a program will never be able to handle all potential complex scenarios that customers might have.
    The facts that are not completely covered by the migration assistant are:
    1.) The more complex the existing authorization concept, the more manual migration work might be necessary
    2.) Customer-exit variables for 0TCTAUTHH cannot be migrated; the respective hierarchy nodes must be assigned manually
    3.) Intensive tests are highly recommended

  • Migrating from web dynpro java app  nwds 7.0 to nwds 7.3

    Hi,
    is it possible to migrate web dynpro java app developed in nwds 7.0 to nwds 7.3 environment.
    I tried but lots of problem.
    Is there a blog?

    Cemil
    its very much possible to migrate the component to 7,3 platform. SAP NWDS 7,3 provides a migration wizard to help with the migration, after that you need to do some manual adjustments, like changing the deprecated APIs, fixing JAR dependency etc etc..
    Here is a guide on how to do it step by step

  • Migration of an existing web site to Web Page Composer

    Hello,
    I am investigating the options and the feasibility of the migration of an existing web site to a Web Page Composer (WPC) site. The web resources of the site can easily be copied to KM and used afterwards in WPC containers. However, they can neither be integrated to the WPC site navigation nor edited through the WPC UI. For example, only WPC Web Page or Web Sites can be WPC navigation nodes.
    Has anyone ever done or tried such a migration? Do you know where I could find a description (or the javadocs) of the WPC API? Any suggestions or hints will be much appreciated.
    Thank you
    Youlian Dimitrov

    Hi Youlian.
    If I understand correctly you have rebuilt only a few hundreds of the old pages using WPC forms. Did you do this manually or you have found a way of migrating them programmatically?
    Yes, we did it manually for a two reasons:
    1. short timetable;
    2. 20 intranet sites with variety of used technologies and tools, styles, navigation structures.
    Did you leave the rest of the pages as HTML (non-WPC) files?
    Yes. But we imported them into KM.
    Does it mean that you have implemented only part of the navigation structure through the WPC/portal navigation?
    Yes and no.
    Firstly, in our case it would be a bad idea to bring all legacy, sometimes cluttered, navigation structure to a new platform as is.
    Secondly, keeping in mind that in a common scenario portal already has own top level navigation you should carefully decide how deep is your site navigation structure will be.
    Finally, migration it is a good time for information architecture redesign based on standards and guidelines.  
    Assuming that you have adjusted properly the links to all resources, have you encountered any particular navigation or display issues following this approach?
    I could remember two limitations concerning a navigation:
    1. you should avoiding links to navigation nodes inside non-wpc html files, because in this case a target page opens without DLN;
    2. first linked non-wpc html page, which placed outside wpc container, should be opened in new window.
    As for design, all our display issues caused by inline styles within source html files.
    Did you notice any noticeable performance degradation after the migration?
    We didn't have any degradation of performance. However, it is highly individual and depends on your portal infrastructure.

  • Migration advice

    My little Mac Mini died, so I have ordered a new iMac. But I'm not sure of the best migration strategy. The old Mini was running Leopard, so I have both Time Machine and Backup3 backups on external hard drives as well as .mac syncing. I also have a Macbook with a lighter but similar setup. Should I use Time Machine, or Backup 3 to rebuild my data and applications? Or Migration Assistant? I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has been through this experience.

    If the Mini is an Intel model then you should be able to migrate directly to the iMac. However, if it's a PPC Mini, then I recommend against using Migration Assistant and move only your personal data manually:
    Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
    From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    For FireFox:
    /Home/Library/Applications Support/FireFox
    /Home/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist
    Credit goes to another forum user for this information.
    If you have PPC-only third-party applications on the Mini then either upgrade them to universal binary versions or reinstall them on the iMac from scratch. All other third-party applications should be reinstalled. Do not use any third-party PPC-only plug-ins such as contextual menu items, login items, startup items, preference panes, input managers, internet plug-ins, and the like because they will not work on an Intel Mac.
