Migrating PS from test to production server

Hi,
I'm going on a evaluation test for PS. It's installed and configured on a temporary server (the test server) and working fine. The next step is to have this working on the "real" environment, it means in the production server.
What will happen with the documents I've already applied a policy? Can i use this documents with the new installation? Will the documents be managed with the new server?
Thanks, regards.

Given this, I think I would be inclined to set up a virtual server or
DNS alias for the production server, like
adobepolicyserver.mycompany.com.
That way, you can freely move the policy server function around by
moving the software and changing the alias. If you simply use a name
assigned to the server for another purpose, you could hit the
situation where someone else decides that name has to change for
administrative reasons, or where e.g. there come to be two production
servers and someone decides Policy Server needs to move to the second
one to balance the load.

Transfer data from Test to Production Server

Dear All
I want to know how to transfer data from test server to production server.
Lets say we have done all the setup steps of GL, and we have also feeded chart of accounts, journal entries, recurring etc. at our test server. Now we want to shift our data from Test Server to Production Server.
What can be the procedure?
I shall be really thankful.

Universe Migration Procedure from TEST Server to PROD server

Hi,
We are using SAP BO XI R3 version in our project TEST windows 2003 server.
we have designed the universe in TEST BO Server and it's working great.
Now, we would like to move/migrate the universe created in TEST Server to the PROD server.
please let me know the migration steps [step by step procedure - documents] in getting the universe available in PROD server as well.
Note: We are using SAP BO XI R2 version in PROD server & XI R3 in TEST Server respectively in separate physical machine .
Regards,
Karthik

Thanks for your support Henry. I agree with your point.
I have 1 quick question: if we copy the .unv file from TEST BO R3 server and paste the same .unv file to PROD BO R2 server, will it be available for importing in PROD BO R2 Server [to do modification in connection settings (connection to pointing PROD DB)]?
If yes, we can copy [not export (no use of tool)] manually the .unv file from TEST R3 server and paste it manually in PROD R2 Machine under universes folder and make any modification like changing the connections....etc.,
Please let me know if this approach works fine with no issues. Because its going to be done in PROD.
Many Thanks,
Karthik.

Migrating Trading Partner from test to Production environment

Hi,
My Production environment has configuration for two trading partner.
I need to migrate one more trading partner from test environment to (the existing) production environment.
I see Agreement level export, TP level export, Config level export options in Oracle B2B.
Can you please suggests as to which is the fastest and most accurate way to migrate new trading partner configuration?
Regards,
Ravi Shah

There is nothing as preferred option. However you can keep few things in mind.
1. Agreement Export - Preferred option , if you would like to export only specific Trading Partner and Agreement details.
2. Repository Export - For full repository export.
3. Trading Partner Export - This option do not keep any TP in mind while taking the export, hence you may not information about Delivery channel and Agreement. This provides information about Trading partner profiles and Supported Document defition of the trading partner.
Let me know.

Publish To Test Then Production Server

Never mind - I think I figured it out. It simply depends on
which server you are connected to, that's where it's going to put
them. You know, you'd think this simple tidbit would be *SOMEWHERE*
in some documentation in Dreamweaver. Harumph!
I feel kinda stupid. For many, many years I have been using
DreamWeaver to edit locally, then I PUT to my production server.
Wasn't an issue before. If it didn't work, I fixed it quickly and
no one was the wiser.
Things have progressed significantly, lately, with more
developers, so now I need to incorporate a test server. Fine. I
have a separate test server, went in and modified my site settings
to now include a test server. Get and put will get and put from/to
that test server just hunky-dory.
But how the heck do I migrate the code to production now? Do
I log on to the test server and PUT from there? There is no "put to
test" versus "put to production" button. I may a victim of
overthinking this, but your help appreciated! Thanks!

You need two site definitions. One would be local/remote at
test, and the
other would be local at test/remote at production.
Make sure you are using either checkin/checkout, or some
other version
control application when operating in an environment like
this.

Personalization strategies for migrating values from stage to production

Hello:
Much of our JSP code will execute differently based on profile/property values stored in the personalization server. Keeping changes to code and personalization settings in sync is proving to be very difficult among our test, staging and production systems. What are some of the strategies used to solve property value migration from test to stage to production?
Our code is stored in a source code control system, but the property values are stored in a database (i.e., via the personalization server) and are changed via a GUI. The database changes are not stored in the source code control system, so the difficulty lies in keeping code and personalization settings in sync.
A typical scenario is that a developer will write some code and test it against the test environment. Any new property settings are added to the test server and set with appropriate values. Once the changes are tested and working, the code is checked into the codeline. However, the properties are not, so potential problems exist when the code is promoted to stage, and the QA group attempts to confirm the new functionality. The new properties, can/will then be added to the staging environment, but since this is done via a GUI, the values are cannot be guaranteed to be exactly the same in test and stag

Joe,
The PropertySet definitions are in XML. The definintions are under your
application-sync directory and under sub-directories such as: requests,
userprofiles, session, events, catalog for the specific usage of a
PropertySet.

Joseph,
You omitted to say which version of the product you are using. In WLP 4.0
PropertySet definitions are stored as XML files and can be versioned
alongside your code and synchronized with a running server (to move from
a
developer's machine to staging or production). We moved to this approach
for
nearly all the business policy/configuration data -- for exactly the
reasons
you mentioned.
With versions of the product prior to 3.5 you will need to use 3rd-party
database utilities to ensure tables are exported, backed-up andsynchronized
as required.... Or upgrade! ;-)

Steps for Go Live for Webtools moving from Test to Production

Further to the useful checklist in the wiki recently supplied by Bryce can I ask for some minor gaps to be filled ( perhaps by inserting a few additional steps in that document)
I have yet to hit the issues created by a go live implementation but this is only a matter of time...
I am trying to work out what needs to occur between having :
a) a test B1 database successfully synching to a test WT site and db set up
and
b) the Production B1 database initially synched to the the live WT live WT db ready to accept the first live transactions.
1) Copy WT site from test to live location
2) Change Server config, settings and Tables tabs in Synch Manager click on 'Install Plugin' to add custom fields to Production B1 database
3) ......
I am stuck as to what needs to be done to "reset" the WT back end db and how one goes about this.
Coupled with this and probably part of the answer is the 'Initialise Synch' button. It would be useful to understand exactly what this does in terms of data - presumably it is only transactional data - but which tables are affected?
Also if there's anything else that I might have overlooked in terms of potential pitfalls I'd be grateful for advice - the recent posts regarding product trees and images come to mind.
Thanks

First thing is to plan for some downtime in your B1 databases. Nothing more frustrating than having new data come into b1 when you're trying to set this up. So perhaps do this at night or on a weekend when no one is using B1.
Install Plugin operation adds UDF's, edits the stored proc in b1 db, and creates the queue table, PRX_Transaction_Queue
Initialize synch runs upgrade scripts(if applicable), deletes all data that has synched from B1 previously(or would synch from Wt to B1, like a test order created in Wt) and inserts all relevant data into the queue table in B1 db. Also the synchid's are reset. It's pretty much the same list as is displayed on the Settings page of the Synch Manager. Please someone correct me if I'm missing something here!
Pre-requisites:
- Name the Wt db relevant to its position in the environment. B1Webtools is not the greatest name, it's meant to be a jumping off point. Rename your Wt db in the way that you would for B1. ie WebtoolsLive, WebtoolsTest. Makes things easier
Two options:
1) Presuming you have a test Wt db and a test b1 db or even a test Wt db and a production(live) B1 db, you could duplicate the test Wt db and change the synch manager config to point to the B1 live db. Install the "plugin" on the new B1 live db and enter your table mappings. Initialize synch will delete all the data that has synched from B1 test db to Wt db(now live db) and reset the synch id's to zero. These will be populated during the synch. Then Run Synch.
Caveat: This option is fine if your synch takes a "short" period of time. Short being an hour. If you have say 20,000 business partners with 3 years of order history and 300 lines per order... expect several hours.
2) Create a test synch profile and a live synch profile in tandem and update only the live synch profile with data. Also, have two web tools websites but work primarily in the live one. The synch manager will auto synch both profiles every time the service runs(set by you)
When it's go time, copy the live db's over the test db's so you have a test environment exactly matching your live environment. Now, obviously as soon as new data goes into the live db it's out of synch, but this way you have a test system you can break or use to test upgrades, etc.
As you might guess, there are a number of ways to go with this. It really does depend on a) how comfortable you are with moving data around in SQL and b) what your setup entails.
I think the best thing you can do is make it as simple as possible. Don't overthink things and make sure you have a backup of everything before you start.
Good luck!

Deploying portal from development to production server

Scenario:
- Development server running OracleAS Standard Edition One.
- Production server running OracleAS Standard Edition One
Idea is to develop portal on development server, and, once satisfied and tested, deploy to production server.
Questions
1. Is this the right development model? If not, what is the recommended approach?
2. Would deployment take place via Enterprise Manager? If so, would the development portal have to be turned into an EAR file, and then pulled in to the production server? Or can the two servers be managed within a single instance of Enterprise Manager (on the production server?), and if so, how would the deployment model work?
Thanks for the input.

Hi there,
A1: Yes, I believe so, but will depend actually on what you wish to do.
A2: Depends how is your application made. I don't think you'll be using EM to make the deployment as this would be a Portal. So you may need to either use the cloning process of the iAS or the RDBMS utilities (where Metalink may help you further depending on the version of the Portal you are in)... or use the Portal Export / Import feature to pass a Page Group from one side to another (this will work only one-way - please refer to the Portal Configuration Guide chapter 10).
As to the "two servers be managed within a single instance of Enterprise Manager"... why not? You can have two RepCA dbs hooked to the same iAS infrastructure to be managed. If I'd recommend it this way... maybe not... remember that if it will be a Development env and a Production env... I'd recommend them to be really separated (just playing on the safe side... maybe :-) ).
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

How to transport requests from development to production server

hi gurus
i am new to SDN
can u pls give me detailed information how to transport requests from development server to production server?if possible give me screen shot documents
regards
surya

Hi
Transporting
There are help pages that discuss creation of transports.
In simple terms, you: create a transport package
add objects to the package export the package, plus optionally any related objects to a predefined folder/directory on the portal server into a file with an extension of .EPA copy the .EPA file to the import folder of your QA system and import it test the contents on the QA system copy the .EPA file to the import folder of your production system and import it Create a transport package file
Here is the step by step procedure to create a transport package:
For Export
1. Go to system administration, and click on transport?export.
2. In the middle pane, select the folder you want to export and right click on the Transport Package. 3. Fill in the General Properties i.e the name of the package, id and description. 4. And say finish and open the object for editing.
5. When the object has been opened then right click on the object you want to transport, and say "Add object to the Transport Package".
6. Check the checkbox of the item u have added and see the properties if it has been added properly. 7. Now click on the save button.
8. After the object is saved, click on the export button. 9. U will have an option to select where to store the .epa file which will be generated. U can overwrite an existing one by selecting the browse button, or store it with the generated name in the location it automatically generates. 10. Now Click on the Start Export button.
11. once the export is completed, it shows a report on how much time is taken to generate the .epa file. 12. Here there is an option for downloading the .epa file. Click on the link and download the file. This file is ready to be uploaded into any other EP Server.
For Import:
Pre-requisites: You have to copy the .epa file created while export into the local drive. Optionally, you have to manually copy the .epa file generated in the export function into the Import directory of the server ie. chooseFollow the steps below for importing a certain file. 1. Go to System Administration in the portal, and click on Transport?Import. 2. For the source of the package, Click on the radio button Server for the .epa file you have copied lately. Else, click on the radio button on client if you are operating in the client and select the .epa file you have stored on the local drive. 3. Now select the file from the browse option and click on Upload.
4. Now click on the import button. 5. Once the import process is finished, the report is shown. In the whole process, the par files are not included in the .epa files. For the par files to be included into the .epa files then we have to change the pcdStartup.properties file in the server. The property to be changed is Pcd.TransportApplication.Export.ExcludeObjectTypesAfterRuleProcessing: Keep this property's value as empty for enabling the par files to be uploaded into the .epa. You can check for this property in the portal in the following -System Administration-Support-Portal Content Directory-PCD Configuration.

How to migrate reports from Development QA Production environment

Hello,
we have 3 Oracle Discoverer 10.1.2.3 environments and I would like to know what is the correct way to migrate reports from DEV to QA and to PROD.
I'm researching about this by a couple of days and didn't find anything handy.
The most likely way that I found was to export the entire EUL from one environment to another with the eulapi with a command line like that:
exporting:
eulapi -connect DEVUSER/pass@orcl -eul DEVUSER -export exp_all.eex -all
importing using [ -import_rename_mode refresh ]:
eulapi -connect QA_USER/pass@orcl -eul QA_USER -import exp_all.eex -identifier -import_rename_mode refresh -log imp.log
That would work.
However if the developer delete some object from the DEV environment and then import in the QA environment the deleted object won't be deleted from the QA environment and after some time the QA and PROD environment would be a mess.
Another way that I figured out was to drop the eul from the PROD environment and then import all over. That would solve the problem but It has a lot of risks.
Thanks in Advance,
Jonas Zanon

Hi,
I think the best approach is to export the EUL components (e.g. business areas, folders, hierarchies, workbooks etc) separately from your development environment and hold these in a change management system. You can then import the components into test and prod and know which version of each component you have.
Often when you make a change you will have to export/import several components. For example, if you add a folder you will need to export the folder, any business areas that hold the folder and if the folder is joined to any detail folders then these as well.
We don't have scripts to delete components from production. Very rarely do you need to delete anything from production and generally it is not a good idea because reports will stop working because the references in the reports are missing.

Migrating data from Sun ONE directory server into openLDAP

Hi,
I was to migrate the data from Sun ONE directory server into openldap. Has anybody done this or know about this. Can you please share the steps that needs to be done.
NOTE: I have exported the data into LDIF file but when I run with ldapadd into the open ldap
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
additional info: objectClass: value #1 invalid per syntax
Are there specific schemas that i need. Where can I find them?
Thanks

Why would you want to migrate data into an OpenLDAP server ?Good Question, let me explain you my problem with Sun DS.
No Question DS is the better product (even Red Hat realized this).
Problem: DS is not a base Solaris 10 OS component, for patch support
you need some additional plan, now sun marketing nightmare comes ;o)
Every year service plans are changed (want a SJES or a DS or a DSEE ?)
so use solaris with OpenLDAP, or linus with NSDS.
Sun please give us a Solaris Core Component called LDAP Server (no need for trillions of entries).

Migration scenario from 3rd party mail server to GW12?

Hi
We need to migrate from existing e-mail server (Axigen ) to GW12.
The main concern is how to do that as quickly as possible or step by step without disrupting mail traffic and users.
Here is the situation:
In local network there is mentioned Axigen mail server serving aprox 70 users at single location.
Our official domain is hosted outside by Hosting provider where their mail server forwards all mail to our DDNS address where is ported to local mail server. Forwarding is performed discrete on user base. Each [email protected] is forwarded to [email protected]. where local server taking over.
This setting is harder to maintain because it is necessary to maintain users and aliases on outside server manually. However, this setting has some advantages. First of all, forwarding is happened immediately. If for some reason , local server is unreachable, outside server will keep on trying for two more days.
Second advantage is that we can use anti spam and virus blocking at the providers side.
Both functionality we could'nt achieve with simple global forwarding of all mail to local server.
This comment is digresion from main topic.
Outgoing mail is relayed by local server over our Internet Connection provider's SMPT host.
Local mail is delivered locally.
We maintain local DNS server too.
Most users are using POP service, while IMAP is used by few only. All users are using Thunderbird so far.
All users in the future should use full GW capabilities with regular GW client, mobile clients and so on.
GW12 server is installed and up already. It is tested locally and tested for remote sending. So, only remote receiving is not tested yet, so neither correct domain is set yet.
Present users authentication is performed by Axigen server and LDAP connection to eDir. STARTTLS is used between clients and server.
Our plan is simple to change local DNS record point to new GW server, to change NAT/routing point to new server and set correct domain for the GW server.
We expect that this will be transparent for users while they will continue to use Thunderbird (certificate mismatch will be issued by first connection and first mail sending. But we plan to warn users in advance together with instructions what to do. My phone will ring that morning many times, I am sure). Few IMAP accounts we can prepare in advance by move mail manually to local folders and back to GW server later.
Latest step should be migrate users from Thunderbird to GW client. This need to be perfomed manually at each user seat. Each Thunderbird client need to be switched to IMAP and then mail need to move to GW server.
Here is concern about old mail volume. Many users have their old mail archived in local folders by years. Some of them has quite huge amount of archived mails with heavy attachments. However old mail can be moved gradually later.
So, this is our plan. Does anybody has any suggestion, comment or wish to point some problem we didn't aware of?
Thank you.

most of this sounds good. With such heavy imap/pop usage, you MIGHT
want to consider installing a temporary dedicated gwia just for that
separate from the smtp handling gwia. But that might not be necessary at
all. 70 people isn't THAT much.

Migrating application from Development to Production

Good day all,
Our development phase came to an end and now we need to "deploy" our application on the production server (with it's own OID). Note that we're on release 10.1.2.
In my mind we need to do the following:
- Export users/groups using the OID utilities.
- Export database objects schema containing tables, procedures, functions... by creating a dump.
- Export Page groups, db providers using transport sets.
Just to confirm, is that what we need to do? Can anyone give me some details (especially on 1 and 2)?
Thanks is advance!
Jaco

These are the steps in general for performing the deployment.
For details on OID utilities, see
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_01/manage.1012/b14082/tools.htm#i1041008
In particular you would use ldapsearch (and outputting the result to a file) or ldifwrite (to directly write to the file) and bulkload (to load the data output from the development oid to production oid) utilities in particular to achieve the migration.
For schema migration of database schema - make sure that the schema components (tables, triggers, other objects) are exported and imported and there are no invalid objects that the database provider depends on before you start the next phase of migration (of portal content).
