Migrating folders to various instances
Hi,
I have around 9-10 folders added to Disco Admin in my development database. There are already various business areas and folders within it. I have created joins for these 9-10 newly added folders to the existing folders.
Now when I want to migrate this to other instances, do I have to follow the same exercise? Is there a work around to avoid all this? Since all this is stored in a metadata, can we insert some rows into EUL tables and achieve this?
Thanks.
Hi
The version that you are using has the extended Export that I refer to. From within the Admin edition, select File | Export.
When the wizard launches, pick selected item from the database. You can now pick the new folders that you want to migrate. This migration is done to a file, the file extension will be eex.
After you have exported the folders, you need to reconnect to Admin in the new EUL and then run File | Import. You can now pick the file to import and Discoverer will now offer you some options as to what it should do should it find duplicates, and whether to match on Names or Identifiers. If you have been careful with your names all will be well.
Hope this helps
Regards
Michael

Best Practice to migrate existing Message/Central Instance to new hardware?
I've done some searching for this, but it all seems to be fairly old (I found one decent thread from 2008, but it just seemed outdated). I would like to get some updated info & suggestions on a process to follow for this task.
Here is some info about the current config:
I have an existing SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5 system. SID "XYZ"
Everything is currently running on Windows x64.
ABAP only config.
It is currently setup as a distributed system.
DB server is SQL, which is running on its own hardware as a dedicated DB server. I don't need to touch this.
Uses logon groups to distribute the load between 3 App servers.
One of the App Servers is setup as the Message/CI server. This is what I am wanting to move to VM hardware.
The other two App Servers are setup just as Dialog Instances. VM already. I don't need to touch these.
What I am wanting to do:
I am wanting to migrate the existing Message/CI server to VM hardware to get the current Message/CI system off of very old hardware.
I need to keep the system with the same name & IP.
I do not need/want to mess with the DB server at all.
Need to minimize downtime as much as possible.
I do NOT want to go to an HA environment. That is a different project for the future.
Suggestions? I would like to hear what some of you have done.
Minimize downtime? I have a short maintenance window of a few hours coming up in the next few months, and would like to do this changeover during that downtime.
How do I handle setting this up on the new hardware using the same name & IP, especially with the existing system still running.
What I think I need to do: (Some of these may be out of order, which is why I'm asking for suggestions)
Setup new Windows VM server, named differently than current Message/CI server (Done already).
Run SAPINST to run Global Host Preparation on the new Windows VM server.
Run SAPINST to setup ASCS Instance on the new Windows VM server.
Skip the Database Instance installation, since I already have one running.
Run SAPINST to setup Central Instance on the new Windows VM server.
Copy all of the appropriate profile parameters that were on the old server.
Start SAP and make sure everything is running and working correctly.
Copy all job, spool files, etc. from the old server.
What needs to be done in between those steps for the server rename & IP changes?
Which of these steps can I do in advance of my maintenance downtime window, without it affecting the currently running system?
I have a test environment that I am going to test this with. I'm just trying to get a jump start on my instructions, so that I can hopefully do this quickly and easily. I'm very comfortable doing the installs. Just needing some guidance on how to handle this case.
I'm open to suggestions, and any links you can send my way that show some more recent success at doing this. Everything I keep finding talks about doing the migration for the DB. I am not migrating my DB. It is staying where it is. I'm just wanting to migrate my Message/Central Instance to a VM, without affecting the users, and hopefully them never noticing the changes.
Thanks!If you're using VMWare, there is a tool provided to virtualize existing systems. Basically it makes a copy of the old system (while it is down) and recreates it as a VM with the same name, IP, etc. I haven't double-checked to see if this process is 'officially' supported by SAP, and I don't know the technical details about how it's done or how long it will take (VMWare is managed by the Network Operations group in my team, so as the SAP sysadmin I'm basically a customer of theirs). However, we have virtualized a few smaller systems that needed to get off failing hardware in a hurry and it worked very well, so I would expect it would for an SAP dialog instance as well. As you're not copying a database, just the app server, it probably would fit within your maintenance window.
If this route works for you, then there is no need to actually install the SAP system on the VM instance... you just copy the old server as-is, then make any adjustments required due to no longer needing old drivers, etc, plus potentially having different memory parameters. -
How to create repository folders to various file systems
Hi
How to create repository folders for various filesystems,and allow the user to do access those files(checkin/checkout)
PrasadPlease explain further.
You can create a file system repository for each of the file systems.
The document approval workflow is a functionality which is already available withing the portal.
However, be aware that the file system repository does not support custom properties and versioning.
In that case you might want to use a CM respository in the FSDB mode which lets you store metadata on the portal and the actual files on the file server.

Migrating database views between instances
I've discoverer folders based out of database views?(around 30-40) and i'm planning to migrate all the VIEW's from one instance to another
I'm currently executing 1 by 1 and since, these views are growing in number with the requirements i was wondering if there a easy way/tool to achieve this.Hi
In addition to the advice already given, are you also changing the owner for the views? If you are then you will need to update Discoverer to tell it who now owns them.
Should you move a view from one schema to another, use this workflow to update Discoverer.
1. Launch Discoverer Admin.
2. Open the business area containing a view that had its owner changed.
3. Right-click on the folder and from the pop-up select Properties.
4. Click on Owner and from the list of users, select the new owner
5. Click OK to return to the Folder Properties dialog box.
6. Click OK to close the Folder Properties dialog box.
7. Right-click on the folder again; and from the pop-up list select Refresh.
8. As you only have one option, click Finish.
9. Discoverer will now compare the data definitions for the object and hopefully you will have no differences.
If you do have differences this means there is something different in the new view and you will have to determine what that is and then fix it.
Does this help?

Error while migrating reports from one instance to another(no torch seen)
Hi,
I am facing this problem when I am trying to migrate reports from UAT to Production. After migration when I try to run the report from Discoverer plus, I cannot see the torch symbol which is general if we have any parameters for that report. So, I again migrate the same .eex file and now I see the torch.
Can any one throw some thoughts why is this happening, why I cannot see the torch symbol in the first time itself?
Thanks,
Srini.Hi Srini
The list of values is not being associated with the item the first time around. The order in which the items are selected is important so for example if lists of values were imported first without the items upon which they depend they will be ignored. Running the import a second time will cause the LOVs to recognize their associated item and thus the association will be made.
Generally I do two exports. I will export my folders and workbooks first and then export my item classes.
Hope this helps explain what you are seeing.
Best wishes

I have two forest With Trust works Fine .
I have file server in ORG – A ( Forest ) with 2003 R2 Standard
I have a File server in ORG - B ( Forest ) With Windows server 2012 ( New Server for Migration )
I have 1000 + folders with each different permission sets on ORG-A. We are using Security groups for providing permission on the share Folders on ORG A
I need to Migrate all the folders from ORG – A to ORG – B.
I am looking for an automated method of creating Security Groups on AD during the Migration, Once the Migration is Done, I can add the required users to the security groups manually.
Example.
Folder 1 on ORG – A has Security Group Called SEC-FOLDER1-ORGA
I need an automated method of Copying the files to ORG – B and Creating a new security Groups on ORG –B Forest with the same permission on parent and child Folders. I shall Add the users manually to the Group.
Output Looks Like
Folder 1 on ORG – B has Permission called SEC-FOLDER1-ORGB ( New Security Group )
Also I need a summarized report of security Group Mapping, Example – Which security Group on ORGA is mapped with Security Group Of ORGBHi,
I think you can try ADMT to migrate your user group to target domain/forest first. Once user groups are migrated, you can use Robocopy to copy files with permission - that permission will continue be recognized in new domain as you migrated already.

Mail Migration - Folders Subscriptions & Unread Mail
Hello,
I'm currently testing a migration from MS 5.2 to 6.2. Sorry for all
the verbage here - I'll try to shorten as much as possible.
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.09 (built Nov 18 2005)
libimta.so 5.2 HotFix 2.09 (built 10:35:58, Nov 18 2005)
The Sun Java system is

libimta.so 6.2-3.04 (built 01:43:03, Jul 15 2005)
I have issues with read messages showing up unread and folder subscriptions gone. I'm looking at the folder subscription issue right now.
The portal migration first has us 'migrate' the email data. After that is done, a rename of the email account is done to match the 'immutable id'. So user/joeuser/INBOX is going to become user/83899111100/INBOX. What I have found is that if joeuser had a store.sub file, it is now gone after the rename. If I copy the original store.sub file and edit the contents to match the new acct, joeuser can then see the folders.
Is that normal behavior for the store.sub file to disappear if you are completely renaming an account?
Regarding the unread mail issue. I copy the mboxlist info from the 5.2 system to the 6.2 system, run the upgrade scripts, and start stored. The default log for stored statup that say "Removing database environment" and to run reconstruct -m.

I run the reconstruct -m, which works and results in a new database. I would assume that this is why all the mail shows up as 'unread'. Is this a correct assumption? Where is read/unread info kept?
I've opened up a problem with the portal vendor. For the subscribed issue, that seems related to the rename of the account itself. For the unread issue, that would seem related to the 'newly initialized' database.
Since the 6.2 system doesn't like something about the migrated database and to avoid 'losing' the old database, I am being told to the the following on the current 5.2 system prior to migration to ensure a clean database:
1. reconstruct -m
2. And one step 1 is complete, reconstruct -r -f
Does this seem like the right thing to do?
Thanks for reading all of this and whatever info you can provide.

Regarding the unread mail issue. I copy the mboxlist info from the 5.2 system to the 6.2 system, run the upgrade scripts, and start stored. The default log for stored statup that say "Removing database environment" and to run reconstruct -m. Before going any further - performing the upgrade with a non-patched version of 6.2 is going to cause problems period -- regardless of whether this is 'necessary' due to some kind of portal support requirement.

Where is read/unread info kept?read/unread information is kept in two locations -- the mboxlist database that wasn't successfully migrated (hence the "General Critical: Recovering database from snapshot") and and older 'backup' snapshot version which resides on disk ... store.usr.
I've opened up a problem with the portal vendor. For the subscribed issue, that seems related to the rename of the account itself. For the unread issue, that would seem related to the 'newly initialized' database.I suggest you upgrade to 118207-63 prior to performing the migration and see if either/both issues persist.
Since the 6.2 system doesn't like something about the migrated database and to avoid 'losing' the old database, I am being told to the the following on the current 5.2 system prior to migration to ensure a clean database:
1. reconstruct -m
2. And one step 1 is complete, reconstruct -r -f
Does this seem like the right thing to do? I would run "reconstruct -r" which will quickly detect and resolve simple errors, but running (1) and (2) seems un-necessary since this is unlikely to be the cause of the behaviour you mentioned.
There are known issues with upgrading from 5.2->6.2 e.g. bug #6460035 - "make_mboxlistdb_changes.sh script does not copy the log files" which will lead to the same error -- once again this is fixed in 118207-63.

Moving 11g BI Publisher Reports to Shared Folders in same instance.
Hi ,
I have to move BI Publishers reports from MY Folders to the Shared Folders in the same BI Publisher instance.
I just wanted to know do we have to move Data Model associated with the Report as well?
As of now i have just moved the BIP Reports and they are working fine, but was unsure on this Data Model part.
Can someone throw light on whats the good practise related to moving Reports in BI Publisher.
Thanks

Should i move the data model in the Reports Folder only, under Shared Folders?
just wanted to know the best practise as to how data model and reports are stored under Shared folders as in separate folders or everything in the same folder.Yes the best practice is to create a folder called BIP Reports(shared folder) -> under which you can create 2 folders as Data Model and Data Template

Also how do i make sure that these Reports under Shared Folders are pointing to the Data Model in the Shared Folders and not to the Data Model of My Folders?
Thanks
AshishTo make sure the data template/report is pointed to data model in shared folder go to the corresponding report and from right pane under the report you see options as open schedule jobs job history edit more
select edit -> opens a new window -> from top you see a magnifier icon click on that opens a new window now select the datamodel from shared folder for the corresponding report thats it.
hope it helps

Primavera P6 migrating Database to another instance with migrate.sh
I want to migrate an existing Primavera P6 Database to another instance.
What I have done so far.
I fully backed up the database with expdp and impdp, but I get an error while trying to connect with admuser (maybe because its not existing).
So I did not take more time in that.
Later I wanted to use the migrate.sh Tool which looked not that hard to do, because it only needs the credentials and Database connection Information.
The Database is large, that means over 14GB so I tried several times and the migrate.sh tool gives me after hours SQLExceptions.
So what should be the Problem?
Maybe the session time?
How to change?Thank you for your quick reply.
Ok I will do the impdp import.
I found an db script: orpm_create_users.sql which will do the creation of all users.
But before I do that I got an error in the migrate.sh which says:
"Error in Run SQL Script orpm_ins_aux.sql : DatabaseToolException (ORA-02298: cannot validate (ADMUSER.FK_UPLIST_USESSION) - parent keys not found)
Do somebody has an idea for that?
I will post my impdp import after Ive done it... -
We are migrating from iplanet web server 4.1 to iws6.0 on solaris 2.6. Migrating from instance to instance or from virtual server to virtual server is easily done with the migration feature. However, I have some full web server instances in 4.1 that I would like to be virtual servers in 6.0. What is the best way to do this?
Hi,
The best possible way is to create a virtual servers in iWS6.x and configure the same, like what you had with 4.1 instance(configuration).

How do i get rid of extra trash folders from various email accounts?
i've now updated to lion, and subsequently, apple mail v.5, and love the fact that (like iOS) i have easliy added my other email accounts (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc).
however, when i delete items from these accounts, they sometimes get deposited into separate trash folders located "on my mac" INSTEAD of my unified trash mailbox (even though separate email folders have been created there as well).
i don't want to keep these trashed emails on my various/individual servers...or on my mac. i just want them deleted with everything else when i empty my unified trash bin in mail.
for each of my email accounts, i have checked the "move deleted messages to the trash mailbox" and unchecked the "store deleted messages on the server" options in mail preferences. is there something else i might have neglected to check/uncheck?Have you checked to make sure that there aren't any invisible floating elements outside of your artwork? Empty textboxes, points, etc.
If you're exporting via the Save for Web menu, you may want to try unchecking the "Clip to Artboard" option. This will save only your artwork, and clip away the extra space you might have in the artboard.
You could just always crop away the excess space in Photoshop if you need a quick fix.
