Migrating from standalone server to Open LDAP

We have 10.4.10 server that serves DNS, MAIL and WEB only. It is set up as a standalone server and we would like to migrate (convert) it to a an LDAP server, master, I would assume.
Is there a best practices guide step by step for doing this?
Or any caveats from others that have made this conversion?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

As far as what LDAP gives me, we need the directory to provide users to a spam appliance. From there, we're implementing Kerberos for the organization to unify access and passwords.
I did somewhat successfully change the server from standalone to OD. I say somewhat because this is a test machine and the DNS was a little off. Once I corrected the issues, though, and did a bit of reading, I changed it to a standalone back to a OD again, it works well.
However: and this has to do with the user import and export, I understand that exporting from the localNode will not preserve passwords: fine. I can re-enter the passwords. But when I re-import them to the LDAP directory node, choosing to OVERWRITE the existing users, it does not delete them from the localNode. This may be because the overwrite applies to the current node (though they still have the same ID).
So then, I assume I can delete the localNode users since they are no longer needed and will screw up the search tree (localNode, then LDAP,...). But doing that deletes any mail they had. No matter if you turn off the mail for that user, turn off the mail services, the mail gets deleted when the user gets deleted.
Obviously this is a problem since the same user is using the mail store fomr the same user account now in the LDAP node.
So how do I get the users' mail to stay there once the user is in the LDAP directory node? I am experimenting with backing up and restoring the mail to the directory, but I have 35G of it. And cyrus gets a little funky when it's databases are out of synch...
Thanks...

Importing user from standalone server

Hello. I am in the process of changing my server from standalone server to open directory. I was told that I will have to delete all the users in the local directory and the re-create them in open directory. I was wondering if anyone knows if this includes all the users, or just the ones I personally created (i.e. do I need to delete users who were always there, like ftp user). Also, does anyone know how to import the users to open directory instead of having to re-enter all of the information? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I never actually found out the answer to this, but I see that the original users are automatically in the search path, so I'm not worried about it anymore.

Migration from SQL SERVER 2008 to Oracle 10g issues.

Hi ,
I'm trying to migrate from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 10g and I end up with some issues that I wanted to ask some info about it.
First, I was following a tutorial
http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
and and in the last version of Oracle SQL developer I downloaded, I didn't find the Load Database Capture Script Output option.
My first question is how can I either add this option or is there a new way to load the capture script ?
Then I use the migration wizard and after following everything, I had the migration complete message from the application.
When I tried to open my connectionss, it tells me version 11.2 is required. Does that mean that Oracle SQL developper 3 only
do the migration for oracle 11g? And if I tried the previous versions, it doesn't support SQL server 2008.
What do I do in this case ?
Thanks !

Thank you for your reply.
After using the wizard and made the offline migration script, in the Migration projects window I made a move data to the oracle connection I previously made and after when I tried to reopen the connection, I couldn't.
Well I didn't retry it yet to see if I'll have the same behavior but basically this is what I think I did. When I tried to open the connection I made, it says, Oracle 11.2 is required.
Now, I just generate target from the convert model and it says migration complete but how do I test it and I do I go to oracle and see change ?
Do I had to create a special user in SQL Server to log to it first ? How do I logon to it ?

Migrating from standalone ITS to internal ITS u0096 copy existing templates

Dear Sirs,
I am in the process of migrating from Standalone ITS to the internal one. I have found several documents on the issue and the help section for the migration, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cd/8a424089ff2571e10000000a155106/content.htm
Currently I am using a standalone ITS server, 6.20 PL13, to access/run IAC components on ERP2004 server ZXY. In the new setup I wan to run the internal ITS on server ZXY instead.
I have however a question regarding the process. Step one in the process is to Copy the existing templates.
If I enter the transaction SE80, I am not able to see all of the IAC component names which are referenced in my portal iViews. I therefore assume that the ones which does not show up, has not been converted properly.
I therefore go into transaction SIAC1 to look for them there (as described in ITS New storage structures as of Web SAP AS 6.40, 678904), but I am however unable to find them there either.
Do I have to go the current ITS server and somehow copy the files/IAC manually (save on disk), and then upload then with SIAC_UPLOAD (from se38) onto the R/3 system. Or do they exist already on my R/3 system just that they arent shown?
Could a solution be that the name of the IAC component in the portal iview, differs from the name actually used in the R/3 system.
Any pointers or hints on this issue are appreciated.
Best regards,
Jørgen

Deepak Sharma,
Thank you for your reply. But I have already published the services internally and actually have used the 'webgui' service successfully. What I am trying to do now is to copy the custom services (there are only 2) to the integrated ITS from my standalone ITS server.

Hi,
nope, we solved it.
It seems that this behavior occurs only under special circumstances.
Scenario is:
1. RDP Gateway connection to our Hyper-V Hosts (We need it for our Windows Azure Pack installation). A certificate is needed to encrypt the connection between RDPGW and Hyper-V host. This certificate is distributed by the VMM to the Hyper-V Hosts with the
private key.
2. Migrating from standalone installation to High Availability therefore migrating from DPAPI to DKM
It looks like that the key or the password to unencrypt the private key, which is stored in the database, is itself stored in the DPAI/DKM.
So when you try to get the migrated Service online the error report in my first post is generated.
What we did was fiddeling around in the database. Make sure you have a backup !!
You need two tables:
tbl_ADHC_Host
tbl_VMM_CertificateStore
1. Go to the table "tbl_ADHC_Host" and edit the key fk_ADHC_Host_VMM_CertificateStore and set "Enfore Foreign Key Constraint" to "No".
2. get the value "VMConnectCertficateID" from the table "tbl_ADHC_Host"
3. Go to the table "tbl_VMM_CertificateStore" and delete the Certficate with the value which equals the "VMConnectCertificateID". Note: Corresponding Certificate in the CErtificatestore table should have something in the column "PrivatekeyPassword"
and an ObjectType of 6.
4. The service should now start and you can reconfigure the certificate used for the encryption between your RDPGW and Hyper-V Hosts, like you did before.
5. Go to the table "tbl_ADHC_Host" and edit the key fk_ADHC_Host_VMM_CertificateStore and set "Enfore Foreign Key Constraint" back to "Yes".
Hope that helps. ;)

Migrating from SQL Server to Oracle 8i

Hi all :),
I am trying to migrate from SQL Server to Oracle 9i.
I am using the Migration Workbench.
Everything goes fine during Capturing phase, but while
creating Oracle model the Workbench just hangs at
"Mapping Tablespaces" for over three hours.
(not exactly hangs in the sense that it responds to mouse
events and I can abort the ongoing activity ...)
What should I do ? Should I let it go on and see what
happens.
I follow each and every step as mentioned in the
documentation ... but obviously I am doing something
wrong. Any pointers ???
However ... if I try to migrate to Personal Oracle 8 ...
the migration goes fine from start to end ... just that
the SQL Server triggers aren't successfully migrated.

You may want to start by downloading the Oracle Migration Workbench. That generally does a reasonable job in moving the tables, stored procedures, etc. from SQL Server to Oracle. If your VB code is database agnostic, it should continue to work without any more intervention. Realistically, however, you'll rpobably have to at least tweak a few things that don't work the same way in the old ODBC/ OLE DB provider and the new one.
The hard part of migrations like this is that you may need to revisit some of your architectural decisions if you want Oracle to perform well. There are plenty of things that one does in SQL Server (i.e. frequent commits) to improve performance that have the opposite affect in Oracle. Identifying and fixing these sorts of things tends to be the largest part of a migration like this. Unfortunately, I don't know of a resource that talks addresses all the possible gotchas here.

Data length problem migrating from sql server 7 to oracle 8i

I just migrated SQL Server 7 database to Oracle 8i db and everything seemed to have ran ok except that in my newly created oracle database, the field size is doubled. For instance a field with nvarchar(4) in sql server would convert to varchar2(8). Has anyone ran into this problem and also does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you so much.

Hi Roberto,
You cannot use Workbench 1.2.2 to migrate from SQL Server 7 to
Oracle 8.
However, the good news is that we have a new verion of the
workbench that will have a plugin that can migrate from SQL
Server 7.0 to Oracle8.
A beta version will be downloadable from this web-site in approx
one week. Eventhough this version is a beta version, it has
undergone some rigourous testing and is very close to production.

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?

Business Rules Migration from one server to other server

Hi All,
Can some body help on business rules migration from one server to other server? and also wt is the difference there in Export and import BR's and Administration repository to migrate.........i fail to understand if we export and import br's and need to change in xml target server and after import whether all users can able to see this imported BR's ?
then wt is the use of Administration option under Business Rules-->right click-->repository...connect--->need to connect oracle info....wt is this process? can some body help on this please........
thanks,
huser

Hi,
The methods are pretty much the same in what they do.
When you export rules it creates an xml file based on the selection you have picked, you can just log into EAS and do this you don't have knowledge about the repository, it is also useful for migrating across versions. You also have the option of changing the xml file before importing it into your target.
When you migrate the respository you have to physically connect to the database repository and have knowledge of the connection details, it is probably aimed directly at a system admin.
The options in both methods are pretty much the same, you can choose what you want to export or migrate.
You hit issues when you export/migrate for instance the location names change and need to be updated, you can update the xml file to change the locations though if you choose the migrate option you won't have that ability.
The next issue is the user/group accounts which is the biggest flaw, if the users/groups exist on the target and have the exact same SID then they will migrate otherwise they will usually get dropped.
