Migrating from SQL Server Express 2012 to SQL Server 2012

Hello,
I am running SQL Server Express 2012 on a Virtual Machine for my learning box.
My work load has brought me to the place where I need to be using the full blown SQL.
I have backed up my databases (in the Express instance) and am looking for an 'upgrade' path.
Can I install another instance of (full deal of SQL) on the same machine?
Andy

Hello,
Yes, you can perform a side-by-side upgrade by installing another instance of SQL Server (a full licensed/paid edition)
and them move the databases to the newly installed instance by using backup/restore or detach/attach.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189625.aspx
Make sure the new instance has applied the same updates/service packs of the Express instance.
You can have up to 50 instances/installations of SQL Server (standalone) on the same computer.
Alternatively you can perform an edition upgrade from Express to any licensed/paid edition.

Hope this helps.

Migration of the database from Microsoft SQL 2014 Express to Microsoft SQL 2012 Server

I posted a similar thread yesterday, and I realized that there was a serious typo.
Link: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/b3e201ea-6c7c-43a4-8908-842b714ea451/migration-of-the-database-from-microsoft-sql-2014-express-to-microsoft-sql-2012-server?forum=sqlservermigration
Therefore, I made a decision to post another thread right now.
I am
writing to ask if there are any known issues when migration from MS SQL 2014 Express to MS SQL 2012 Server version. Are there any step-by-step instruction on how I can go about doing this?
Looking forward to your response. Thank you for your time.

Jeff Yoo

Hello,
SQL Server 2012 setup program won’t allow you to perform a downgrade from SQL Server 2014 Express Edition. Backup/Restore
and Detach/Attach won’t help you either.
One option you have left is using SQL Server Import/Export Wizard as explained on the following article.

SQL Server Express 2014 and SQL Server Agent

Any chance SQL Server Express 2014 supports SQL Server Agent. I have a home weather database and I have to import Data every 30 seconds.

Migration from Crystal Enterprise 10 to SAP Crystal Server 2011

Hi all,
We are currently using Crystal Enterprise 10 to schedule and view our reports and the designer is Crystal Reports 10 .
we are planning to migrate to SAP Crystal Server 2011 with Crystal Reports 2011 as the designer.Can we do this migration directly or do we need to do the migration to an intermediate version before going to SAP Crystal Server 2011.
Regards,
Sreekanth S S

1. So in this case, I need to migrate from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Crystal Reports Server XI R2/Crystal Reports Server 2008 or more using import wizard Then I will need to migrate from Crystal Reports Server XI R2/Crystal Reports Server 2008 to SAP Crystal Server 2011 using Upgrade Manager tool. Is my inference correct?
That is correct. For XI R2, it would be XI R2 SP2 minimum. And you need to have a live installation of XI R2 SP2 as SAP does not have it in archieve download area.
2.What is the potential risk if we try to migrate from Crystal Enterprise 10 to SAP Crystal Server 2011 using upgrade manager tool?
I am not sure if that will work with success, If the reports migrated from CE10 do not work in CRS2011, it would be unsupported. You can however try it anyways.
3.Can we open the reports developed using Crystal Reports 10 designer in Crystal Reports 2011 designer? .This is for another requirement of us where we have to just migrate the reports alone .
Yes you can do that. Try opening and running them in CR2011, they should work but some of them can also result in some errors here and their, this is more specific to report design and what kind of grouping\ filtering\formulas you use.

Migrating from Cisco Unity Express to Cisco Unity Connection

Hello,
We are going to migrate from Cisco Unity Express 8.6.6 to Cisco Unity Connection 9.1.2. Therefore, we need to migrate all mailboxes without data lost.
So, the questions are next: is it possible? Which tools we should use and what steps we need to pass?
Thanks,

Based on my experience of keeping the data (i.e. voicemails for users) it is really not worth it.
Because all these voicemails will add up the Mailbox Space and user will get unnecessary "mailbox full" warnings even though they may be deleted (it takes around 2 weeks to get rid of the deleted voicemails)
Hence, my recommendation would be to do a stare and compare for the most part and build all the Call Handlers etc, this will give you even better chance to get rid of all the unwanted stuff.

Very difficult migration from MS Access to Oracle with SQL Developer

Dear Developers
I have tried to used for one Project Oracle Sql Developer Migration from Access to Oracle (Application Express). Was about an evaluation if Oracle Express (with Application Express) or Mysql (with PHP) as target database.
I am working with Oracle for 14 years and i earn my money in projects related with Oracle. Of course i am sentimental and i push every time when an opportunity comes to have as an option Oracle.
This time beside my sentimental approach the decision was different.
I will tell you why and i hope that someone there will listen and make something for a better Product.
I was trying yesterday the whole day to migrate an Microsoft Access database. A nightmare....
1. Microsoft Access Exporter 2000 was too slow. For a 25 MB Access database, running time was 15 Minutes. And 15 minutes to obtain an undocumented error. I followed your instruction and eliminate all references etc... as you described in HELP. a lot of time necessary to read and do..... After that i obtained an Error #..16. Sorry that i don't provide you with an exact number error. i don't have it right know and personally i am not interested anymore. For this error i don't find nothing in forums about it.... Search again and again..... Every time after waiting 15 Minutes in which you don't know exactly what application does or if really does something. I decided to delete sequentially macros, modules, forms, querys from Access database and see where Exporter stops... Time and time lost for trying and searching.... Finally i obtained my XML file only by keeping my Access tables. The file was produced even if i obtained at the end Error #5:..... Because was an error i am not really sure if the file was completly consistent with my database.
2. I followed the next steps and with some errors (enabling, disabling constraints, objects couldn't be created because of different reasons) i had my Model and Oracle Schema. I have tried to export the data from Access and import it in Oracle. data exported was in UTF8 and SQL Loader Control file doesn't have
LOAD DATA
character set utf8
So i tried to add the string "character set utf8" in my dozens of CTL files - with a freeware of course.....
Maybe you can say that if i knew that from the beginning i would have set my character set in SQL Developer. I don't know and i will not ever try with this product!
So finally after hours of working and trying and playing with my nerves, reading a lot of forums and documentation, i had an Oracle schema, maybe incomplete because of different errors at so much migration stages.
And now i have tried for the first time in my life MySQL Migration Toolkit. I read that for migration to MYSQL this tool is what i needed.
I recommend you to try the product and see something about the quality required for a piece of software. Is not enough if your product runs OK with Nortwind DEMO Access database. It should run OK with all ACCESS databases.
With the tool i have done the job in 5 MINUTES. Simple, efficiently and without errors. At the end i had the SQL Scripts and the DATA imported in the database.
Difficult to say something now. I am sentimental but i asked mysef if you can do something to improve the quality of the product.
What arguments can we provide for a client in Migration from Access to Oracle ???? Can you honestly answer at that?
Please try this MYSQL Migration Toolkit.....Maybe this give you some ideas about simple tasks and about what we really need...
Best regards
Adrian

Dear Barry and Kgronau
Thank you very much for your response. My Post was after a long day of trying to import an MDB file.
Maybe you can understand why i was so angry...
Yes i understand that your tool try to do more than other even if actually you don't really convert too much.
From Modules to make some procedures where the whole code is commented! .....
For other MDB which i tried to import in APEX the forms where really not usable. Queries are full of errors requires most of the time manual corrections.
I am sorry that i can not provide you with this MDB which cause these problems.
Data and software doesn't belong to me and the company which own it can not provide to you.
What i hope from your product is, even when errors come, to show a better error explanation. At what object in Access error ocures ? This is very important because i can correct my MDB or just delete the module,form,query in cause if SQL Developer doesn't like it....
Just showing an error Error #.... doesn't help me too much. And if an error occurs i don't know if program continues to work or is dead. No information about this. Maybe you can show that your application is alive and does something (working status etc...) ! Anyway we wait long minutes in front of dead screen....
Again, thank you very much for your attention
Adrian

Issue during migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Oracle SQL Developer

I am using SQL Developer v 3.2.20.09 to migrate from Sybase to Oracle Pl/SQL 12c
While migrating the stored procedure the following block did not convert. I got NULL instead of object_id:
Sybase Block:
IF OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’) IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.CheckEst
IF OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’) IS NOT NULL
PRINT ‘<<>>’
ELSE
PRINT ‘<<>>’
END
Oracle Block after conversion:
BEGIN
IF NULL/*TODO:OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’)*/ IS NOT NULL THEN
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE CheckEst;
IF NULL/*TODO:OBJECT_ID(‘dbo.CheckEst’)*/ IS NOT NULL THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘<<>>’);
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘<<>>’);
END IF;
END;
END IF;
END;
Lines 1 & 4 got converted to NULL. I have many places where such code is written.
Is there any quick way to overcome such an issue? or what needs to be done in such case?

Hi,
You are using an older version of SQL*Developer. Could you download the latest 4.0.2 version available from here -
Oracle SQL Developer
and check if you still have the problem ?

Mike

Wiki migration from 10.6.8 to 10.10 Server 4 no data loaded

I'm trying to migrate wiki from an old OSX Server 10.6.8 to a brand new installation of 10.10.1 with Server App ver 4.
I followed the article at http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/setup-os-x-yosemite-server-as-a-wiki-server/
I used the migration method:
1) copy the /Library/Collaboration folder to Yosemite Server ~/Desktop/Collaboration
2) changed owner to _teamserver of the copied folder
3) started wiki service
4) created a new wiki
5) configure accounts to access LDAP of the old server
6) run sudo wikiadmin migrate -r ~/Desktop/Collaboration
No wiki were created. The log file shows that no users and groups found.
Extract of the log:

I have a bad 10.8 server, and what I did to rescue my WIKI
1- Listed users on old wiki server " dscacheutil -q user | grep -A 3 -B 2 -e uid:\ 5'[0-9][0-9]' ", I dont use open directory
2- Create an new 1.8.5 server
3- Create users on new server (keep an eye on order of creation ID is more important than username)
4- Turned on Wiki *Important starts up service for 1st time
5- Then followed these instuctions on: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5585
*Wiki worked
6 -Then Upgraded form 10-8-5 to Yosemithe server
ALL WORKS
*Note1: Apple's KB note has 10.6 to 8 migration which I did not use, try that before
*Note2: Clone new server each important step with CC or DiskUtil, step 5 trashed compleatly the server at one time, never knew what happened

Migrating from Seagate Info 7.5 to CR Server XI release 2 - HTML problem

We are currently trying to migrate from using Seagate Info 7.5 to using Crystal Reports Server XI Release 2, for our reports generation / scheduling.
We currently have a number of reports which are generated as HTML and saved to a network shared folder. These reports are viewed by internal users and are updated every 15 minutes. This works well at the moment as the users have a browser shortcut to the report page and hit refresh every now and then to see updated content.
However, in CR Server XI R2, there is no option to export HTML. So what would be the recommended workaround in this situation?
Thanks in advance.

I wasn't aware that CR Server doesn't include OpenDocument, are you certain?
I think CR Server should have Crystal Reports URL Reporting though, called viewrpt.cwr. You can achieve pretty much the same with this, documentation is in our developer library:
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm
Developer Library home > BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK > .NET developer guide and API reference > Viewing Reports and Documents using URLs > URL Reporting for Crystal Reports.

Migrating from DPM 2010 on WS2008 R2 to DPM 2012 SP1 on WS2012

I currently have a primary DPM01 server and a secondary DPM02 server, both running on Windows Server 2008 R2 physical servers. DPM01 has a dual port FB HBA which connects to our SAN where the storage pool is located. It also has a SAS HBA for our tape library,
because of that the new/replacement will be on a physical server as well.
A new physical server was bought as an replacement for DPM01, WS2012 is installed on it. The FC HBA as well as the SAS HBA will be taken from DPM01 and installed on this new server.
DPM02 will be installed from scratch with WS2012. Storage pool from DPM01 will remain, DPM02's storage pool will be deleted and recreated in a .vhdx. The new DPM02 will be a VM (doesn't have a tape attached to it).
Could someone please provide me with a short checklist, order in which I have to do the "updates".

Hi
Just a follow up, this is an old post, did you come right?

I will be working on a project to migrate from Sybase ASE (15.7) to SQL Server 2014 using Oracle golden gate........I am trying to find documentation which can guide me to use a separate box installation of OGG and how to configure it for Sybase and SQL s

Hi,
I need guide to install OGG on a separate box which will help me to migrate Sybase to SQL server.
Viral Dave

hi - just an fyi
we have SQL Server 2012 and from my reads and understanding OGG supports SQL Server up to 2008. not to say it wouldn't work on higher versions if installed. in the link above check out the SQL Server installation chapter. before purchasing the license I would contact Oracle.
maybe someone here has installed it on a higher version and got it to work. we are currently working on setting up OGG to work on Oracle to Oracle servers.

Quick Migration from Access db to Oracle using Sql Developer

Hey
I created a connection to an Access DB and then did a quick migration of the tables and data into my Oracle schema. Great!
Now if I add a new table to my Access DB, how do I get this new access table into my Oracle schema without having to do the migration all over again
Thanks

I don't think so. It is intended for one-off migrations after all.
You can probably migrate a single table by going through the longer migration process and excluding the ones you have already done.

Migration from Roaming Profiles to User Profile Disks - RDS 2012 (R2)

Hi, I'm currently in the process of tweaking our RDS 2012 environment and have a question I hope someone can help me with....
The users who log onto the Collection are currently using roaming profiles stored on a 2008 R2 file server, but I'd like to move them onto User Profile Disks (looks to be a lot of pro's to it). Is there a way to migrate users profiles from roaming profiles
to User Profile Disks? We already have a lot of users on the farm with roaming profiles and I'm guessing if UPD is enabled, it will only take effect with new users? I need to do this without too much hassle if possible
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Sorry to disappoint you, but you cannot able to move\migrate the roaming user profile to new User profile disk on server 2012\R2. You need to move them manually. Please refer below thread.
Is it possible to migrate local profiles to user profile disks?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/63ab2ce0-c581-4397-ae7f-d84b8f2b6bd8/is-it-possible-to-migrate-local-profiles-to-user-profile-disks?forum=winserverTS
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Problem migrating from 10.5 to 10.6 mail server: cvt_cyrusdb does not exist!

The problem
I am migrating a mail server from 10.5 to 10.6 (as the first step to moving to 10.8).
I'm trying to migrate mail from Cyrus to Dovecot, using the command migrate_mail_data.pl but I keep getting the error:
Error: cvt_cyrusdb does not exist in: .
Background
An example of how to use the command is at:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/dovecot/dovecot-239/dovecot.Config/migrat e_mail_data.pl
Example: migrate_mail_data.pl --cyrusBin "/Volumes/Tiger/usr/bin/cyrus/bin" --database "/Volumes/Tiger/var/imap" --sourceSpool "/Volumes/Tiger/var/spool/imap" --targetSpool "/Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail "
So, the syntax is:
sudo [location of migrate_mail_data.pl command] --moveMail 0 --cyrusbin "[location of cvt_cyrusdb binary]" -- database "[location of original mail database] "--sourceSpool "[location of original spool files]" --targetSpool "[location of destination files]"
Locating my files
Locate all of my files:
sudo find / -name migrate_mail_data.pl
/usr/libexec/dovecot/migrate_mail_data.pl
sudo find / -name cvt_cyrusdb
/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/cvt_cyrusdb
--database files are at the default location:
/private/var/imap
--sourceSpool files are at the default location:
/private/var/spool/imap
--targetSpool is set for:
"Volumes/Iomega1TB/121014/121005Dovecot/mail"
What I've tried
So, I've tried the following commands (and many other variations!):
sudo /usr/libexec/dovecot/migrate_mail_data.pl --moveMail 0 --cyrusbin "/usr/bin/cyrus/bin" -- database "/var/imap" --sourceSpool "/var/spool/imap" --targetSpool "Volumes/Iomega1TB/121014/121005Dovecot/mail"
sudo /usr/libexec/dovecot/migrate_mail_data.pl --moveMail 0 --cyrusbin "/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/" -- database "/var/imap/" --sourceSpool "/var/spool/imap/" --targetSpool "Volumes/Iomega1TB/121014/121005Dovecot/mail/"
sudo /usr/libexec/dovecot/migrate_mail_data.pl --moveMail 0 --cyrusbin /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/ -- database /var/imap/ --sourceSpool /var/spool/imap/ --targetSpool "Volumes/Iomega1TB/121014/121005Dovecot/mail/"
sudo /usr/libexec/dovecot/migrate_mail_data.pl --moveMail 0 --cyrusbin /usr/bin/cyrus/bin -- database /var/imap --sourceSpool /var/spool/imap --targetSpool "Volumes/Iomega1TB/121014/121005Dovecot/mail/"
All give me the same error:
Error: cvt_cyrusdb does not exist in: .
Interpretation
The error message tells me (perhaps I'm misunderstanding!) that there is a problem with this part of the command:
--cyrusbin "/usr/bin/cyrus/bin"
because that's what defines the path to cvt_cyrusdb
But 'Find' has told me the location of that cvt_cyrusdb command and I can see it in the GUI, too!
Help!
What am I doing wrong?
With thanks in anticipation,
Kevin

Thanks for your advice, MrHoffman.
I was trying to avoid taking the mail server down for more than a few minutes so wanted to:
a. clone and migrate the server configuration to the new machine
b. take server offline
c. copy data to new machine and convert it from Cyrus to Dovecot
d. take server online
Due to the problem with converting the data, it looks like my only option will be to take the mail server down for some hours while I perform all of those operations.
I was really hoping that there might be a simple answer to invoking the cvt_cyrusdb command!
Can anyone tell me how I might fix that?

Migrating from Crystal Enterprise 8 to Crystal Reports Server 2008

Hi,
In our current CE8 setup, we have a web server with the web connector, which connects to the Web Component Server (WCS) running in the CE8 application server. Our reports (rpt) are 'unmanaged' and they simply reside in a directory on the application server, together with csp pages (for handling parameter passing, configuring ActiveX viewer settings, etc). The link-to-folder path mapping is specified in the web connector settings. Users view the reports by pointing the browser to the csp pages.
Given the scenario, we would like to migrate to the new CRS2008 platform, while maintaining similar setup as above. However, it is noted the web connector/WCS are no longer there in the new version. My questions are:
Can Viewer/RAS SDK be the replacement for achieving the setup?
What is the mechanism for web and application server communication?
Any enlightenment on the above will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
John

CRS is limited to single server installs, it has less functionality such as no auditing. Enterprise can be clustered across many servers, has auditing and webi/deski from E6. So which one is best would depend on the size of your planned implementation and the features that you want.

Migrating from weblogic 8.1 to sun one server

I need some documentation that could guide, in steps involved, in migrating an J2ee application from weblogic 8.1 to sun one application server.
Please help.

Do you have any migration guide from weblogic 8.1 to sunserver 8.1?
We want to know how to handle null in jsp? Because in weblogic 8.1, we can set printNulls to false in weblogic.xml file. Is there any way we can do this in sun server?
