Migrating an existing Plugin RCP Product from one server to another

Hello,
I'm looking to migrate an existing RCP product from a desktop to a server. I did a straight zip of the product directory from the source machine, unzipped it on target and copied the config files over.
When I execute the product, the splash screen launches but then the product crashes with the error message:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2015-07-27 17:00:00.720
!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
I added the -consoleLog option to the runtime config file but there is no other information. The original developer is no longer with the company and we dont have the source code of the product either.
SO my question is:
Are these products not portable across machines by a straight copy?
Do we need to rebuild it from source (if we do end up locating it)
Is there anything apparent that I am missing?
Any help in this regard will greatly be appreciated since this is a major roadblock for our migration efforts.
Thanks so much in advance,
valli

Process for migrating CMSDK from one server to another

All:
We are in the process of migrating our CMSDK installation and database from one server to another. In doing so, we would like to retain our documents and folders and other custom objects that have been created till date. If there is a recommended migration process that you could point us to, it would be greatly appreciated.
Our initial thought is to:
1. Install the CMSDK server on the target server machine
2. Export source CMSDK schema from source database server
3. Import source CMSDK schema into target database server
Are we on the right track? If so, are there any pitfalls and issues we can expect to encounter. Any information will be very helpful.
Thanks

The utility should help you a lot. The best documentation on how to use the utility is in the 9iFS Setup and Administrators guide (doc number A95995-01) Chapter 8. It pretty much works the same way then as it does now. These are two metalink notes on doing the export/import silently (29928.1 - 177816.1). Doing it silently is very tedious since you having to create numerous .def files and other scripts to run them.
I will look around for any other stuff I have, but the 9iFS document is very good as a reference no matter what version of CMSDK. If you have problems finding it, I can try to send it to you, but it is around 5.6M.

Oracle db Migration from one server to another

Can any body guide me why companies migrate Oracle db from one server to another , & what is the process for doing that?

In that case, something has changed, right? The need to have a standby server has become important.
Next steps:
- define the real business requirements (why do we think we want to spend money on a spare server? why should the money go to a hardware company, instead of an increase in my salary? what benefit are they looking for?)
- see whether any known ideas or alternatives fit the requirements, see whether the backup should be a standby server, a hot failover server, or some other backup mode;
- go to the Oracle Technet site, look under the Product Centers: Database area to see whether there are any related topics (such as 'availability', as one of the logical reasons for a backup is to make the application more avaliable); check in that area for any white papers; read the white papers to formulate an idea, write down interesting keywords;
- look in the Oracle docuentation, list of books, to see whether there are any books specifically dealing with that topic (such as Oracle Data Guard);
- use Google to search for the combination of 'Oracle backup' and the interesting keyword and study several of the sites;
- form a basic plan;
- go to expert and trusted sources (these forums, OraFaq.com), post a plan and ask for feedback.
There are literally dozens of alternatives. Research and find the one(s) that are right for your situation. That includes the technical as well as the financial reasons.
More than anything, that means you need to learn to ask the right question. And that often means asking the same question several different ways, and attempting to answer each variation yourself to see how the answer solves your specific needs.

Migration databases from one server to another

Hi All
I want to migrate our 8 production databases from one server to another server. these are in RAC .Details are below
OLD SERVER: -
OS: REDHAT LINUX 3
ORACLE: ORACLE 10gR1
FILE SYSTEM : OCFS
STORAGE: SAN
Its a RAC databases
NEW SERVER: -
OS: REDHAT LINUX 5
ORACLE: ORACLE 11g R2
FILE SYSTEM:ASM
STORAGE:SAN ( fresh one)
Its also RAC DATABASES
So please tell me the best method to migrate 8 databases from old server to another server . all databases size are not more than 50 GB.
All servers details are above .please let me know if you require any other details
please reply soon we have to do it on urgent basis

Since all your databases are small (< 50G), I would recommend using expdp/impdp - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17222/expimp.htm - as this will provide several advantages as listed in the document.

Import Wizard vs LCM for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi Experts,
Can anyone highlight the differences between Import Wizard and LCM (in terms of migrating/deploying BO from one server to another)?
We are currently using BO XI 3.0, which does not support LCM. I'd like to know if LCM has enough advantages to justify an upgrade to BO XI 3.1.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Linda

Hi Tim,
Thanks a lot for your reply. May I have a follow-up question?
For my client, the following deployment activities are necessary:
1) From Development server, to one Test server containing 2 separate sets of objects - one set for SIT, the other set for UAT.
Object (Connections, Universes, Webi reports) names in Test server will be different from those in Development Server due to the existence of 2 sets of objects on the same server.
   a) For SIT: Universe A on Development server -> Universe SA on Test server
   b) For UAT: Universe A on development server -> Universe UA on Test server
2) From Development server, to Training server.
   Same object names will be used in Training server.
   E.g. Universe A in Development server copied to Universe A in Training Server
3) From Development server, to Production server
   Same object names used in Production server.
From the above, there will be 4 rounds of deployment. Is Import Wizard sufficient? Or is LCM still the better option?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Linda

Best Practice for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi All,
I would like to know what is the Best pratice for Migration of BO from One server to another.
i have Installed BO Xi R2 on my server.
Thanks,

You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
Choose Copy, then click OK.
Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
password).
When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

Migration of company code from one server to another

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in the process of migrating company code from one server to another server. We have activated the company code with ewt in old server on 01.10.10. We have to migrate the same company w.e.f. 01.11.10 to new server.
we have two options one is to migrate the company without ewt activation where we can take all the open items and trial balance and then activate ewt and do the required health check up in ewt.
second option is to activate the ewt and then migrate , here the issue is that if open items are migrated after ewt activation the tds gets calculated again.
In indian scenario we have to pay the tds (challan updation) by 7th of next month, if we migrate then this is not possible because in the new server we do not have the data in the table required for clearing the entries. We are thinking of doing the challan updation in the old server itself.
Can you suggest us the option through which we can migrate the company code. If you have any other option then please suggest.

Issue in migrating analysis service job from one server to another

Hi All,
I'm migrating analysis services from one server to another, within the source server there is a job with the name
denreportingprocess which executes a batch file within local drive on server. I have moved all the analysis services cubes from the source server to destination and all the databases on the source server have been restored to destination.Verified
cubes are pointing to the correct database by modifying the connection string within the datasource part of the cube databases.
I have copied the entire process folder from source to destination and edited the code within the run file and code within the job pointing the locations to new server.
Below is the job code, it is running a batch file placed in E drive
E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\run.cmd
Below is the text within the batch file (windows command script)
E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\ASCMD -S "servername" -i "E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\Process.xmla"

Below are the list of files within the folder E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process

Best Way to Migrate an application from one server to another

I couldn't seem to find the best way to this by Googling. If you have two instances of Sun Web Server 7, and you want to migrate a web application from one server to another, what is the best way to that?

I am sorry. My question was poorly worded after some hours of frustration. What I am really trying to do is develop a base virtual machine snapshot with Sun Web Server Loaded and a base set of applications.
When the need arises, I need to deploy another VM and start it up. There seems to be some issue with the host name of the VM and the administration server, or something. It is my impression that as longs as I have everything contained in one directory like /webserver, I should be able to copy everything to a new machine and start it up. I know I need the listeners listening on all ip addresses and the jdk being used would need to be in that directory as well. Is there anything I am missing here or that I need to watch out for?

If they are the same platform/version you should be able to copy the database across as-is. The users directory entries (icsdwphost) will need to be updated to reflect the new hostname for the calendar server.
As with any move/migration, test and retest.

Hardware Migration from one server to another server

Hi All,
We require more information pertaining to hardware migration from one server to another server without changing OS & DB.
We are preparing installation guideline document for the same.
Has anybody came across similar scenario?.
Any pointers on this will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Tushar Vhora

usually you don't have to care too much about the tools used (r3ldctl = R3load control | r3szchk = R3 size checker | r3load = R3 Load), because you normally use r3setup/sapinst to fulfill the copy/migration. r3setup/sapinst will call the appropriate tools with the needed options...
-> which release are we talking about?
-> which os and which database do you use?
-> how big is your source database?
-> do you have any time issues while making the copy?

Migrate tracks from one server to another

Hello, I've read a few guides how to migrate tracks from one server to another, but it doesn't help me.
What I've done:
1) I've exported my SC from SLD at my old server
2) Then imported it at my new server
3) Updated CMS from SLD
4) Created a track at my new server and added imported SC
Then I have to import my SC from old server with sources and there is some errors happens for me.
First option: I have exported my SC from CMS, but the SCA file is about 5kB. I unzipped it and there was ARCHIVESOURCE folder but it hasn't anything seems to be my sources. That file is checked-in successfully through the transport studio, but no sources imported into DTR.
Second option: I have exported the SCA file by using NWDS. It's exported OK, size ~1.3MB, ARCHIVESOURCE folder with mine sources. But when I try to check-in it, it fails with an error "import failed, because the sources are not contained in the archive
Could anybody helps me to achieve my task? I stuck with source import.

Hi Kirill,
important to know that assembly ALWAYS uses the CONS/ACTIVE workspace for SCA generation.
If you for instance create a change (an activity), and you activate and release it but you don't import this activity into CONS, then it won't be part of the CONS/active and then due to obvious reasons assembly won't produce the sources either (no possibility to do an explicit activation on cons level as here a force activation takes place at import, but of course the import into cons is a necessary step, because as mentioned assembly uses the cons/active).
Can you please confirm/deny how this scenario looks like on your end?
Thank you!
Best Regards,
Ervin

Restored our SSRS 2008 R2 from one server to another; Dates are in UK format and not US

We have restored our SSRS 2008 R2 from one server to another. The original server was in US locale/culture. The new server was in UK locale/culture, when the restore happened. However it should have been in US locale/culture. We have made this change and
new reports work OK.
However existing reports (i.e. saved by a user) are still trying to use the US dates in a UK format and as a result throwing a date cant be below 1753 error.
Has anyone seen this issue before or have any idea what we need to do to fix it?
Thanks

Hi Kimberlad

How can you move the objects from one server to another?

how can you move the objects from one server to another?

Hi,
Collecting objects for Transporting
1. rsa1->transport connection
2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
5. after objects collection finished, create request
6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
Releasing Transport Request
Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
Step 2: Click on Import queue button
Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
Step 4: Click on refresh button
Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)
