Migrating SAP Crystal Data from One BO BI 4 to another and on a different domain

Thank you for reading this and thank you in advance.
This is pretty new to me, I have installed Crystal Server several times before but never had to do much with it and the person that looked after it left a year ago.
So I have been tasked to migrate all the data from our current SAP Crystal BO 4 server to another.
It gets slightly complicated, the company I used to work for was recently acquired and now they want me to move the BO server across to their data-centre on their domain but keeping all the data intact, more the reports not the historical data. I understand that I might have to change a few things but don't want to recreate all the reports and dependencies. At the same time the IT team will now have to look after the reporting.
The new company doesn't currently have any reporting system in their environment and thus want to use ours going forward.
I have read several documents and forums but just can't seem to find a method that will do the trick.
The new BO 4 server is up and running at the same function level/SP as the current production server.
So I have tried Promotion Management, I added pretty much everything needed, then managed the dependencies and exported without any errors, on the new server I get an error(in the background) straight up when importing, although it sits and spins around for ages but nothing come from it.
I looked at using Crystal Reports to save the reports and then import them but after speaking to the person that managed it back in the day she advised me its not just as simple as that, there is a few things that needs to be done to make the report work again.
I read about coping the input data folder and importing the DB directly but figured that would not have a good outcome in the end.
Is there anyone that had done something similar, or know how to get it across with the least amount of trouble. Even if it's a bit of work as long as I can get it across, that will be great.
The last resort will be to learn how the entire system works and at least get the reports across but then fix up all the dependencies, schedules etc.
Just not sure where to start to be honest.
Thank you again.

Promotion Management is meant to promote small amount of objects. if you need to do complete migration, you can use command line tool of Promotion management.

Passing data from one UIX XML page to another UIX XML page

What are the various ways of passing data from one UIX XML page to another UIX XML page?
(a) If no bc4j is used.
(b) If bc4j is used.
(c) If my event handler calls:-
public static EventResult handleMyEventEvent( BajaContext context, Page page, PageEvent event) throws Throwable
then how can I pass data to the next UIX XML page?
Thanks,

What are the various ways of passing data from one UIX XML page to another UIX XML page?
(a) If no bc4j is used.For forwarded URLs; HttpServletRequest attributes [request], HttpSession attributes [session], ServletContext attributes [application].
For redirected URLs; HttpServletRequest parameters url, HttpSession attributes [session], ServletContext attributes [application].

then how can I pass data to the next UIX XML page?Return a UIEventResult (extends EventResult) from your event handler that has a data provider attached.
This data provider will be accessible in the next page with the name "ctrl:eventResult", where "ctrl" is the short prefix for the namespace "http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller".

Migrate Closed Sales Data from one SAP system to Other

Hi,
We have a requirement to migrate Closed Sales Order data from one SAP System to the New SAP system.
Please share your thoughts on the considerations / DOs and Donts for such cases.
Appreciate your response.
Kind Regards,
Tanuji

Hi,
If you want to migrate closed SOs..then first consider why? and from what date i.e how long back?
Following are the considerations:
1) You can't get the creation date same as your previous system dates--this might lead to incorrect reporting. So you'll have to check if its really worth?
2) You might want to have a reference no somewhere in the new transactions from the previous system.
3) If you want to migrate the deliveries, invoices then you've to consider also GL migration as well as payments.

Move WIKI data from one Mountain Lion Server to another

Hi.
I followed the instruction here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5585
Under Copying all wikis from one OS X server to another OS X server, I am not even able to execute:
sudo pg_dump --format=c --compress=9 --blobs --username=collab --file=/tmp/collab.pgdump collab
It gives this error:
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "collab" failed: FATAL: role "collab" does not exist
Any idea?
I just tested it on the productive server as well as a brand new install. Same outcome.
which then I moved the: /Library/Server/Wiki/FileData over but even stop/start, restart, wiki server is running but not able to load content, it's like it's been wiped clean.

Hello Matthew
You're looking in the wrong spot
First things first - make yourself default sudo with sudo -s then you can forget prefixing it all the time.
If you just use pg_dump then it'll take the command from the /var-Directory - that's the wrong version
You have to specify the path for the Socket where the PSQL-Database for the wiki really is located by using the -h-option - it's not the default
that's why you get the error that role collab does not exist since you're connecting to a database in place where the role collab truy isn't part of it.
So - if you'd like to export the wiki-DB us the following and adapt the filename to what you like it to be.
bash-3.2# /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/pg_dump -h "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket/" -p 5432 -f /Volumes/USBSTICK/wikidatabase.pgdump -U collab collab
The first block specifies the "not default" pg_dump you'd like to use
The second block (-h "/Library/.....) tells pg_dump where to find the DB
The third block tells pg_dump to use port 5432
The fourth block (-f /Volumes/......) tells pg_dump to place its output into this file
The fifth block (-U collab) tells pg_dump to do this is role collab
The sixth block tells pg_dump from with DB to dump from
In your case extend my provided command with your options --format=c --compress=9 --blobs like this:
bash-3.2# /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/pg_dump -h "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket/" -p 5432 -F c --compress=9 -b -f /Volumes/USBSTICK/wikidatabase.pgdump -U collab collab
BTW- you can connect to the database, of course:
bash-3.2# psql -h "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket/" -p 5432 collab collab

I transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another and added more music on the same day. How do I get rid of my duplicate files without going through them one by one which would take forever?

Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

My DeDuper script is designed to help clean up. See this thread for background.

Migrate File Server data from one volume to another

I am looking for the best way to handle this situation. We have a VHD that has a 4KB cluster size that is getting close to the 16TB mark so no expanding past that due to the cluster size. In the past whenever i needed to pull this off i would preload as
much data as possible with robocopy, then during a maintenance window take the share offline, do a refresh with robocopy then flip everything that i needed to flip drive letter and share setup etc.
I have the space to do a complete copy like this so that is not an issue. But other things to keep in mind are the data is deduplicated so we are talking 20TB total. The other is the backup of the File Server is done at a file level with DPM so DPM will
see this as a new volume and be an issue.
At this point i have time to plan and am just looking for ideas.

Hi,
If you want to copy files/folders from one Volume to another volume, you could use the File Server Migration Tool (FSMT) or Robocopy to accomplish.
The tool can move all of the files from the shares on your original volume to the new volume.
FSMT and Robocopy will not copy Share permissions but only NTFS permissions. So if the drive letter will not be changed, you can backup and restore the Share permission with steps here:

How do I transfer data from one external hard drive to another larger one?

I hope I am posting in the logical area for this topic. I have an external hard drive connected to my eMac. My iTunes library and some backup files reside on this hard drive. I am contemplating purchasing another, larger external hard drive so that I can archive more data--more music and some photos. How do I transfer my data from the first drive to the second one, and is this a risky move? (I have a lot of music!)

Hello,
Take a look at SuperDuper (link). This 'clones' any drive across to another; it should suit your needs just fine.
Firewire drives with an Oxford chipset are recommended for PowerPC Macs (like the eMac and iBook) as you can boot the Mac from one to recover the system if the internal drive suffers any issues.

Can't transfer data from one external hard drive to another?

I have just purchased my first Mac book Pro a few weeks ago and i seem to be having alot of trouble transfering data between my to hard drives.
One is a 500gb and the other is a 1tb both with movies and photos on them, i want to tranfer the last data from the 500gb to the 1tb and format the 500gb.
I have tried to drag and drop and copy and paste but nothing seems to work? The movies are in avi format too so not sure if that makes a differance or not but that is another issue i would like to sort. How to change the complete hard drive to mp4 or do i do them one by one?
Any help would be great as i dont want to regret this purchase so early in the piece.
Thanks to all in advance.

Help for transfering data from one user' all tables to another

Hello guys,
I have trim the extra sizes of columns in almost all tables of my database. Before doing this, I saved the data of tables by creating another user "User1" with the same objects and importing dmp file in it. After this I cleared my original objects and reduced the extra sizes of columns alomost in all tables.
Now I want to transfer data from backup user "User1" into my original user's "User" tables.
Can any one guid me with the way of doing so, so that I could do it just through 3 or 4 lines of code instead of individualy table wise transfering the data...??
regards

Transfer data from one type of table to another

Can some kind soul put me out of my misery and explain how I can get the data from Table1 to Table2
I'm really struggling!
Table1
MerchID
MatchesSKU

BD16

DE11

Table2
MerchID

DE11

HB12
DX15
DR19

I've got a page which shows a piece of merchandise in detail. Below that is a section called "you may also like..." and it shows 3 matching items to the main merchandise.
I currently hold the matching data in a table like Table1 but I've been getting some performance issues and have narrowed it down to the query that gets the 3 matches.
I was thinking if I place the 3 matching merchID's into the corresponding row of the main merchandise being shown, it saves hitting the database for the 3 matching items?
Here's the SQL used to find the matching items
          SELECT *
          FROM merchandise
          INNER JOIN matches_with
          ON merchandise.supplier_code = matches_with.matches_with_supplier_code
          WHERE matches_with.merchandise_ID = '#URL.ProductID#'
I limit the CFQUERY to MAXROWS=3

How can I view/copy data from one Time Capsule backup to another computer

My MBP and MB both back up to Time Capsule. From the MBP I can see it's data on TC via my network but not the backed up data from the MacBook. How can I view and import MB data to my MBP from Time Capsule via AirPort? Thanks!

Is the backup software Time Machine??
You can open the TM backup as long as you haven't used profiles to backup. Or encypted it in latest Mountain Lion.
See Q17 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
You should read through all the stuff about using TM.. and restore in particular.. 14-18.

Copy value from one field in subform, to another field in a different subform

Hi all. I have been back and forth with enterprise support, and they are telling me what I want to do is impossible. I find that hard to agree with, so hoping I can get some help here. I have a document that I am creating, based off an XML. The page consists of a header subform, a flowing table of variable name, and then a footer. My problem comes in, that when the table flows to mutliple pages, my header subform will not repeat, even though I have it set as the overflow header. According to Enterprise Support, this is by design. The header will repeat on the footer page, if that is on a separate page, just not when the table flows to another page. So, I came up with a solution to create an additional Header in my table, merge all the cells into one column, and copy my subform into that new header. I would set that header to appear only on subsequent pages. So, when I preview my document, it shows the static text fine, as I would expect, however the text fields are blank. I need a way of copying the values from the original header subform, into the newly created table header subform. The values will be different based on teh XML input, meaning that the first 3 pages will have one set of values, and the next 3 another, etc.. See sample below...
<NameValueList>
     <NameValue>
          <NameValueName>Name1<NameValueName>
          <NameValueDesc>Desc1<NameValueDesc>
           <TableValueList>
               <TableValue>
                    Blah
               </TableValue>
               <TableValue>
                    Blah 2
               </TableValue>
          </TableValueList>
     </NameValue>
     <NameValue>
          <NameValueName>Name2</NameValueName>
          <NameValueDesc>Desc2<NameValueDesc>
          <TableValueList>
               <TableValue>
                    Blah 5
               </TableValue>
               <TableValue>
                    Blah 6
               </TableValue>
          </TableValueList>
     </NameValue>
</NameValueList>
So, if I bind my original header to NameValueName, it will show on the first page which has my header, and the third page that has my footer. But my 2nd page, that has the table flowed to it, has a blank value. I tried to put code in the Initialize event of both text boxes, to copy from MainHeader.NameValueName to TableHeader.NameValueName, but that didn't work properly.
Any ideas on how to do this?

Thank you very much for the reply. I tried putting the copy statement in both the MainHeader and TableHeader initialize events. There was different behavior, depending on the place I put the copy statement, however neither was correct. If I put it in the initialize of the TableHeader, the NameValueName that appears on other page is Name1. Even though the header shows Name2 when it hits the next nodes. If I put it in the initialize of MainHeader, nothing is copied on the proper table header pages.
I initially had Master pages, however that really didn't work. The master pages traversed the NameValueName nodes on it's own loop. So, Each page displayed the next value in it's own loop, when the main subform loop is still showing data from the previous value. I know this might be hard to understand, but I'm doing my best to explain. THanks again for your reply, and I hope that there is another idea out there to fix this...

Moving data from one external hard drive to another ERROR-36

i got a new hp simplesave external hard drive, and i'm moving all my files from an older external hard drive (can't find brand name). Some of the files are bringing up error 36 which is something along the lines of can't read/write file. which is causing the file transfer to stop on that one file. there are a lot of damaged files so the file transferring is going very slowly. is there a way i can find out which files are bad ahead of time so i can get rid of them AND THEN transfer the files?

Well, since the MacBook with Tiger still has issues with the drive, I think it is some kind of hardware problem related to the external drive. I have numerous USB and FireWire drives connected (probably too many), and I've had no issues with Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard makes my older Intel iMac run better than when it was new.
Make sure you try connecting the drive to a separate power outlet, if it is connected to a power strip. It is also possible the drive's power supply is failing; that can cause the the improper disconnect message to come up, because the drive inside is not getting sufficient power. That is why you need to try the hard drive in a different case, or using the USB adapter, to eliminate possibilities.
Also, I still don't know if this drive is USB or FireWire, but be sure to try it with no other devices connected, in case there is some interference between devices.
One more thing you can try to rule out a problem with your currently installed system. Start up using the Snow Leopard installation disc; insert disc and restart with the C key held down. When you get to Installer's first screen, go up to the menu bar and, under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility.
At this point, you can just leave the iMac alone for a while to see if the drive gets ejected. If it does not, try making a Disk Image of the external drive and saving the image file to the iMac's internal drive. If that works, there may be some issue with your current installation (and you have a backup of the data). If it fails, then I think you have confirmed that the problem is with the external drive, not the iMac or Snow Leopard.

I need help figuring out how to Link Data from one table in Sharepoint to another table in Sharepoint and make it dynamic

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a project that uses SharePoint 2010 for repository and we have multiple tables that we are using.
One table is a list of the various projects we are working on (workstreams)
The other is a table with various notes and such, to include meeting notes for the various projects.
Currently we are just copying the shortcut from the meeting notes table and adding it in as a link in the workstreams status table.
I need to find out if there is some sort of way to make this process dynamic so that when a new note is added for, lets say workstream #1 in the notes table, it will automatically propogate into the notes link section for workstream #1.
Is this even possible??
And if so how would I do it
I haven't done much with modifying SharePoint in several years, and would Truly appreciate any and all help with this.
Thanks in advance
IKE

Hi IKE,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a link in the workstreams list linked to the associated item of the notes list.
Assuming the workstreams list has Title column and another column called “Note” used to linked to notes list, and the notes list has Title column and another column used to store note.
Then you can create a workflow on the notes list with SharePoint Designer 2010, and in the workflow, using “Update ListItem” action. And in the workflow Start Options, select “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”.
For the workflow action, you can set as the screenshot:
For the string in the String Builder, you need to open an item of notes list, then copy the URL of the display form and paste here, the URL will look something like this:
http://sp/Lists/notes/DispForm.aspx?ID=1&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fsp%2FLists%2Fnotes%2FAllItems%2Easpx&ContentTypeId=0x0100300025278693CE49A5E3A394B23AD9E1&IsDlg=1
Now, you need to replace the ID of the item using [%Current Item:ID%], for example in the above link, delete the number 1 and add [%Current Item:ID%].
