Migrating Dimension Server from local installation to High Availability

Hi Team,
When Hyperion was installed on the client site (11.1.2.3), there was no requirement for EPMA to become highly available.
Now that has become a requirement to make it highly available in the event that one of the virtual machine is unreachable.
In the event that a server becomes unavailable, it is acceptable for a manual failover procedure to be done.
What steps can be taken to prepare for such an event?
Possible outcome:
Configure another dimension server on the second Virtual machine and leave it manually switched off.
Modify the IIS path to point to a clustered location accessible by both machines.
In the event of a failover, manually bring up the dimension server on the other machine.
This is yet to be implemented successfully.

Remote Desktop/Preferences/Task Server
Add the FQDN or I.P address of your server in this pane on your book(basically your pointing your book to your installed software on the other machine). Setup your server with the installs you want it to make, and administer it via your book (or any machines with another unlimited ARD) IF you want report generation, you would schedule the clients to send the info to the server. A task server can only do 2 things, install packages or change client settings, thats it.

Uploading File to server from local machine

how to Upload the File to server from local machine.
Using java applet, how to upload the file to secure server.
I dont know how to proceed the steps for uploading
Reply me ASAP.......

Hi Ozkantr,
The osql utility is installed by SQL Server. You need to make sure the utility is installed on your colleague machine.
To run SSIS package outside the BIDS, only the DTExec utility which is a client tool is not enough, the server components for Integration Services Service (SSIS runtime) is also required. To install SSIS runtime and DTExec utility, we must install the Integration
Services shared feature from the SQL Server install media. So, you need to install SSIS service on the machine where the SSIS packages jobs run.

You need to install Integration Services, which installs the necessary bytes on your computer and the SSIS service as well. The service can be disabled though, you don't need it to run packages.
I wrote a blog post about it some time ago:
When is DTEXEC installed?
ps: osql is deprecated. Better start using sqlcmd.

INSTALLATION ON HIGH AVAILABILITY USING WEBLOGIC SERVER

Hi All ,
IHAC where i am planning to propose the following architecture and I did not find much information on the OTN documentation
How to configure the BI Publisher for High Availability using Oracle Weblogic Server. I have gone thorugh the following document on OTN.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/docs/BIP_HA.pdf
1) Can the BI Publisher be installed on a weblogic cluster having two nodes. I did not find any specific information on this in the BI publisher documents other than the link I mentioned above. Do we have any Enterprise Deployment guide for standalone BI Publisher ?
2) What is the best practice to implement the High Availability of BI Publisher on weblogic server.
Other info,
As mentioned in the above link I am planning to use the BIPublisher ultra scalable architecture.
Where the Load Balancer is HW load balancer and Internal load balancer is managed using the Apache configuration and Oracle XMLDB11.1.0.7 is used as the shared repository.
regards,
Pierre .

Hi
You have to have a shared drive for CI,SCS abd DB on the shared drive something like SAN.
You will have HACMP the IBM Cluster SW shall be configured and installed properly.
You may need support from the AIX engineer to configure it.
DB and CI installation will be done by Basis normally.
Yes ,there is arequirement to install and db and OS Filesystems on shared drive.
For further information ,you can look for inst guide at service.sap.com/instguides
Hope it helps.

Need to transfer/migrate production server from HP-Unix to SuseLinux 11.5

Background : We are having ECC 6.0 running on HP Unix
What we need to do : want to migrate the entire production application to a new server under o/s SuseLinux 11.5 certified by SAP AG
What we are doing : there is a utility called Software Developer Tool DRYRUN using this utility want to export application to storage and from store we shall restore the application into the new server under o/s SuseLinux 11.5
What error I am getting :
Sapinst could not find the required software logistics java libraries DIAGNOSTS. The global directory may not be available at u2018/usr/sap/fpp/flobalu2019 or its contain may not be up-to-date in addition the version of the SAP NetwWeaver java system might be lower than AP6. SOLUTION, Mound the global directory and/or apply the latest support package.
Using above method we could migrate development server to SuseLinux 11.5 successfully.
If I have posted this question on wrong forum pl. guide me
Thanks
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
Just to check with you, OS/DB migrations has to be performed following certain rules. HPUX is big endiand and Linux is little endian so an Heterogeneous system copy should be performed and theres only a few supported ways to perform the migration. Have you check that the usage of DRYRUN is ok and that your system will be supported after the migration?...

Migrating KMS server from one computer to another

Hi,
I would like to know how to migrate the KMS from one server to another. Thanks in advance

Steps to migrating the KMS:
1. Uninstall the KMS host key first by running the following command:
slmgr -upk
2. Then, install the default kms key by running the following command:
slmgr /ipk [KMS Client Setup Key]
The default KMS client setup keys can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303280.aspx
3. Delete the record from the DNS:
Open DNS console:
Expand _tcp node under the domain.com. There will be a record _VLMCS. Delete this record.
4. The KMS server is uninstalled.
5. To install KMS on a new server, enter:
cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <KmsKey>
then to activate the KMS host, enter:
cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
6. After activation is complete, restart the Software Licensing Service.
7. Verify that the record is created for the new server in the DNS.
To verify that the KMS host is configured correctly, you can check the KMS count to see if it is increasing. Run slmgr.vbs /dli on the KMS host to obtain the current KMS count. You can also check the Key Management Service log in the Applications and Services Logs folder for 12290 events, which records activation requests from KMS clients. Each event displays the name of the computer and the time-stamp of an individual activation request.

Changing Task Server from local machine to remote machine

Hello all, and thanks for reading this.
My question is this, and I apologize if I've missed something in the forums and online, but I can't seem to find the answer to this question anywhere.
I have ARD on my laptop as the task server, but we've bought another copy to place on an XSERVE as a centralized task server. What I want to do is change the package installation routines so that the XServe is the autoinstall box. I can't seem to find any documentation that explains how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Is there any patch for migrating database server from oracle to sql server

we have very large application build using oracle forms 6i
(release 2) & reports 6i & Oracle Database as back-end server.
Now we want to port our application on sql server. Is there any
patch available , so that we don't have to change anything at
application level except connection string.
currently I am using :
oca 6.0.5.35.0
sql server 2000
odbc 3.5xxx
d2k 6i(release 2)
But we have to make lot of changes at application level.
So any one can tell me about any tool, or patch for converting
without changing too much at application level.
Thanks

SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) 2012 High Availability Solution in Azure VM

I have been testing an AlwaysOn high availability failover solution in SQL Server Enterprise on an Azure VM, and this works pretty well as a failover for SQL Server Databases, but I also need a high availability solution for SQL Server
Analysis Server, and so far I haven't found a way to do this. I can load balance it between two machines, but this isn't working as a failover and because of the restriction of not being able to use shared storage in a Failover Cluster in Azure
VM's, I can't set it up as a cluster which is required for AlwaysOn in Analysis Services.
Anyone else found a solution to use an AlwaysOn High Availability for SQL Analysis Services in Azure VM? As my databases are read-only, I would be satisfied with even just a solution that would sync the OLAP databases and switch
the data connection to the same server as the SQL databases.
Thanks!
Bill

Bill,
So, what you need is a model like SQL Server failover cluster instances. (before sql server 2012)
In SQL Server 2012, AlwaysOn replaces SQL Server failover cluster, and it has been seperated to
AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server) and
AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server).
Since your requirement is not in database level, I think the best option is to use AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server).
As part of the SQL Server AlwaysOn offering, AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances leverages Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) functionality to provide local high availability through redundancy at the server-instance level—a
failover cluster instance (FCI). An FCI is a single instance of SQL Server that is installed across Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) nodes and, possibly, across multiple subnets. On the network, an FCI appears to be an instance of SQL
Server running on a single computer, but the FCI provides failover from one WSFC node to another if the current node becomes unavailable.
It is similar to SQL Server failover cluster in SQL 2008 R2 and before.
Please refer to these references:

Newbie question: any tips on preparing to migrate to 10.5 Server from local

accounts?
here's the situation: i have a client that has about 15 Mac users, all of them are on 10.5 and they all have local user accounts.
this company shares their network and file sharing resources with another company on the same floor that is all windows based. the file servers are windows based.
my client is trying to separate itself from the other company and one of the things it is interested in is setting up an Xserve with 10.5 Server running.
the client wants to be able to manage software updates and resources for his users. he also wants to have a Mac Server set up for file sharing instead of sharing a windows server with the other company.
i am new to setting up 10.5 Server (or any other version) so i am not sure what i need to do before setting this up, or migrating. i think it i had to set this up from scratch i could but since they already have local user accounts and file sharing already set up, i am not sure how to get started.
i guess my main concern is getting all the local user accounts into Work Groups with out anyone losing any data.
any help is appreciated.
thanks!

I can't think of why there would be any problem moving an image over since they are both powerPC. Since the time machine restore didn't work how about putting the G5 in target disk mode and using something like carbon copy cloner to image the g5s hard drive.

Migrate existing users from local domains to Open Directory.

Here is the environment I'm working with:
Small local environment (8-10) users. Everyone is on their own laptop, everyone is authenticating to their local directories. Network files are stored on a server, with everyone using a single shared user ID to authenticate and access the files.
I have just installed a Xserve, and it is now serving DNS, DHCP, NTP, WWW. I want to setup Open Directory in Master mode, create user IDs for everyone, and then assign permissions to the shared files area.
The one part that I'm not sure how to approach is the local laptops. If user "John Doe" has a local ID "jdoe" that he has been using on his local laptop, how does he migrate over to being "jdoe" in the OD domain, while reatining his "local" home directory and files? The problem I think I'll have is that when I create "jdoe" on the domain, he will have a UID of (say) 10001, but his local UID is 501 (as is the UID of all the other employees since they are all the first user on each of their respective laptops.) so when he logs back into his laptop after it has been attached to the OD domain, I assume that the laptop will see "jdoe" from the OD domain as a new user and create a new home for him (with the UID:10001), so now John cannot see any of his old files and such.
Also, as a side question: I've worked with Windows ID before, and I know once you join a windows computer to a domain and then login to it, it creates a new user and caches the authentication info, so that when the laptop is not connected to the corporate network, the user can still login and work. Does Open Directory do the same on the laptops?
Thanks for any help.

Retaining password is a manual process of asking the user what his or her password is and then creating it in OD.
As for migration of account, it is rather simple, provided the short name of the user remains consistent across directory systems. For example, if you have a user named Joe User and his short name is juser with a home folder in /Users/juser. And you create the same account in OD. You can do these few short actions.
1: Bind system to the domain
2: From the Admin account, and using Terminal from root, navigate to /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users and find the plist file for the user (in our example, juser.plist).
3: Delete the file using rm
4: Restart the machine or restart Open Directory
5: Log in as the admin user and change ownership of the users home folder. Recall that when the user is in the local domain, the UID was likely 502, 503, etc (you do have a standard local admin at 501 right?) Now that the user is in OD, the UID will be 4 digits, something like 1027. So understanding that user attributes and user data are independent, you now have a folder in /Users titled juser and owned by uid 50x. You need to make it owned by juser from the OD domain. User this:
sudo chown -R juser /Users/juser
6: Log out of the admin account
7: Log in as the user after choosing Other at login window.
Assuming you have your OD account set up properly, you will likely be asked to confirm the caching of the users credentials. This will path you right back into the user's home folder and all will be right with the world.
This is simple and quick. If the shortnames are different, throw an mv into the mix to rename the home folder to match the domain shortname. If you have no local admin, then you will need to reset DSLocal and start again.

Migrating Tiger Server from G5 to MacPro

I'm about to replace a PowerMac G5 server with a MacPro. The G5 is running 10.4.8 or so, and was installed from a Universal 10.4.7 DVD. The MacPro only has Client installed.
What's the easiest way to do the install?
I know I can export/import the user file, which is the most critical item in the process. But it would be fun to do something automatically. Last I checked there was no Migration Assistant like in Tiger Client. Ah well.
My current theory is to move the boot drive from the G5 to the MacPro. I know it won't boot (the silly GUID boot thing), but I might try Carbon Copy Cloner to move the drive data to the new boot drive. Will it boot? I dunno!
I'm surprised the migration guide doesn't say anything about this. I've done plenty of 10.3-10.4 upgrades and know that cold. So as I said, I know I can do it the old-fashioned way.

Mission accomplished. Here are the steps I took. There was one glitch, but workaround was easy.
I connected a spare external firewire drive to the G5. Partitioned it as GUID. Used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone to the G5's boot drive to the firewire drive.
Connected the firewire drive to the MacPro. Booted from it perfectly. So that answered one question I had - Server 10.4.7+ not only ships as Universal, but installs as Universal. Nifty.
I then cloned the Firewire drive to the MacPro's boot drive. Restarted, booted fine. Disconnected the firewire drive, which wasn't needed any more.
I wanted to check the various settings. Server Admin looked perfect. Workgroup Manager gave me an immediate problem - it refused to even open the LDAP connection, so it wouldn't even list the users (260 or so). Not good.
I went to the old server, opened Server Admin, and exported an archive of the Open Directory info (the server is an OD Master). I moved the archive to the new server on a USB flash drive.
On the new server, I changed the config from an OD master to a standalone, then back again (to clear the OD configuration). I then imported from the archive file.
I then went back to Workgroup Manager, and all users came up fine.
I then connected the data drives (four LaCie Biggest FW800 2TB drives). Everything works perfectly, including the network home directories. No other reconfiguration was necessary.
