Migration. Just some comments.

Ok, this is a dupe post. Admins, if you want to pull this go ahead. But, some things have to be out in the open before someone thinks this is the mother of all short cuts to EP6 SP9.
I ranted:
Swell,
Everyone read the docs on this? Hold on, it's going to hurt.
Make sure that your clients or bosses understand that there is a difference between migrating and upgrading.
If your company wants to have your SP2 Portal be converted to SP9 and still be on the same box, this tool is not for you.
Why? Here's a quote:
Switch of DB (EP5.0/EP6.0) or OS (EP6.0 only) is not possible during migration when using the migration tools! Switching of DB or OS is made possible using SAP tool Java System Copy.
Usage of Java System Copy has to be registered at SAP!
Further reading states:
Migration requires setting up of a new EP 6.0 on Web AS 6.40 system. After migration, the source server can be shut down.
Not only that, your portal AND KM must be at SP2 PATCH 5.
What does this all mean? There is still no upgrade tool. Your Portal is being migrated to another server. OK, let's just say that you wanted to upgrade your hardware anyway. Your EP6 SP2 Portal needs to get beefed for future growth so lets go with Windows 2003 Enterprise so you can use more than 4 gig of RAM. Well, we can't do that either. With the migration tool you can only go from OS to OS. If you are at Windows 2000, you stay at Windows 2000. Only after migration you upgrade your OS and pray the Portal makes it.
Am I bitter? No, I just want fellow IT grunts like myself get a heads up on this. If you are not running NW04 on your production box, someone is going to ask you about the migration tool. Be informed. Don't back yourself into a corner and let clients or bosses think that this is the easy path to get to EP6 SP9. This is not a one size fits all solution. As soon as they are educated to what the migration tool does and does not do, you maybe surprised on what they end up wanting.
What are we doing? Rapid Installer 2.0
Yes, I may be re doing all of my systems again, but I am only loading my OS once. Dev Portal is first. Once done we switch LDAP pointers to our real users (ADS is a wonderful thing) and redirect calls from Production to the Dev Portal. End users see no changes to the portal. The only difference is the SSL alert that we are using an internal CA. Production is next. Once done everything is switched back. End users see no changes, but now the SSL alert is gone because we are now using an external CA again.
Oh yeah, were you thinking of migrating your SSL certs? Think again.........
I think I might start to blog some of this stuff. I think I have come across the majority of the errors in Portals at one time or another. My many mistakes just might make life easier for some poor soul on the other side of the planet. Call it a Karma recharge. God knows I have lost my Religion more than once on Portals.
/rant

Just by reading the documentation, I knew it was not an option.
You are correct in saying that looking at the problem from and SAP stand point that the migration is not a big deal. It all comes down to the operating system. As I look at two different portals now, one W2k EP6 SP2 and one W2K3 EP6 SP9 there are differences on the OS level. The registry entries are different and in different locations. File permissions and groups are different. IIS is different.
The problem is not SAP, they are delivering what they say. This is a migration tool to move the portal to EP6 SP9. And under controlled environments I am sure that it works.
I just feel that techs like myself have to advised understand the conditions that the tool works under before they make promises to clients and bosses they can't keep.
This tool migrates the portal to another server and the OS must be the same. That sums up what is in the documentation.
If your clients or bosses think that this is an "upgrade" tool. It is not. It is a source to target migration.

Just some comment

I think it's about time for Java to start deprecating the AWT and Swing, and create a new package that incoporate these two as one. There are some issue that they need to address when combining these two class....
1. make them all light weight like swing
2. redesign how the components are inherited
for example. JFrame, JLabel, JDialog, JButton all have the base class of Component. In the component class, it has an add() method. This makes no sense, since you don't do add(Compeont) for a Jlabel or JButton.
what they should have down is something like
Component
|----- Control (for widget like JButton, JLabel, JTable
|----- Container (for container gui such as JFrame, JPanel, Jdialog, JScrollPane)
method related to the container will be in the Container classs (for method like add(Component), Remove(Component))
I can't recall how many time when i scroll through the API and noticed inherited methods for a compontent that makes no sense
kind of like saying
Human human = new Human();
human.layEgg(); // suppose who where in th eheirachry of Human is a species that lay egg.

...and use the SWINg API JTextField (but rename it to TextField in a different
package...say java.gui or something like that).Why? There's already a Swing package with JTextField. For backwards compatibility, they wont' get rid of the existing AWT and Swing packages. Now, for the sake of naming, you are suggesting they duplicate that stuff in another package name? Waste of disk space, if you ask me.
however, i do want swing to be rewritten (ok..more like re-organized)There are certainly areas for improvement, sure. But they are low priority.
As i stated before, every concerte component in swing extends Container.
This does not make much sense. A Label, TextArea, Button is a control. a little intermixing of posts here, but related, so...
Who says you can't do an add() on a JLabel or
JButton? Did you try it? I didn't, but I bet it
would work.I didn't say you can't..what i'm saying is it make no
sense. A Label or a Button is NOT a Container..so
add() is an impropriate method for those "Control"
classesWhat if, by some reason, I need to add() something to a JButton? Why are you denying me that ability? There's a big difference between being able to do something you wouldn't normally do and not being able to do something, even if you want to.
Just in case for those who would argue that that it be easier to inherit from a
Container to use for the Control. I would argue that a Control is NOT a
container and when you inherit a Container, then you're type is a Container,
which i think is wrong. I think if Java would rewrite Swing, they would go this
way...but i believe they are too worry about backard compatiability to make
such a move.It's not easier or harder. Again, you're making things more limited, when the current Swing implementations are a) not so limited, and b) not restricting you in any way from using buttons and labels as simple controls. You don't have to add anything to a JButton if you don't want. How is it having a container-like behavior hurting you?
kind of like having a Circle with a method isSquare().Not really.

How to migrate only some photos from external hard drive/Time Machine to new Mac?

I just bought a new MacBook Air, after my old Macbook died. Luckily I had everything from the old computer backed up on an external hard drive through time machine. However, when I tried to migrate everything to my new computer, I found I do not have enough room for all of the files. I would like to import just some of the photos/albums from my old Iphoto Library but it looks like I can only migrate the entire library, or else nothing at all? Since I don't have enough space on the new computer, it's not allowing me to import any photos. Is there a way around this?

With iPhoto it's all or nothing. Therefore get a second EHD to restore the library to. Then you can duplicate the library, open the duplicated and delete all of the photos you don't want in it. When that library is small enough to fit on your MBA copy it to the Pictures folder.
Then you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy new events from your MBA library to the library on the 2nd EHD to keep it up to date with all of your photo. There are portable EHDs that are not much bigger than a mouse (the computer kind ) that would work fine for this.

Migrating only some apps to new computer

New MacBook Air (10.8.4) and want to migrate only some of my programs from old MacBook (10.6.8). Haven't tried it yet, but in looking at Migration Assistant, I only see an option to tick of for all applications.
I'll be doing it through a cloned external drive.
Is MA the best way to do it? Is there a way to only move a few applications? How do I be certain that I get everything that goes with a program. (Thinking particularly about Lightroom and Photoshop CS6.)
Thanks.

As for your apps: Depending on what they are, you might want to check to make sure they are compatible with Mountain Lion:
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
As for accounts: since there is a user account set up initially, using MA will generate a second (equal) one. It will create somewhat of a mess as you will need to delete whatever you don't want manually and/or move over from one to the other.
Additional thought:
since you bought it used - did it come with Mountain Lion originally?
Just in case it did not, did the seller give you the original install disks? If not, you'll have to contact the seller or Apple sooner or later. If Mountain Lion is purchased at the app store, the license is not transferable and tied to the purchaser's Apple ID forever. That means you will never be able to reinstall the OS if needed. You'd need to get the install disk, wipe the drive, and reinstall the original OS; after that, go to the app store and purchase your own Mountain Lion license using your Apple ID.

How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

Last night, when I played my playlist songs with iTunes Genius, my iTunes, with one of my playlists selected, and set on "Shuffle On," "Genius Shuffle On, "Genius On," "Match On," and "Play," played selections from all of my songs in my playlist. Today, my iTunes Genius went back to the same problem it was giving me before last night. My iTunes Genius has been playing selections from just a few of my playlist albums. How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

No backup is a huge mistake.

Back up just SOME of the music library to an external hard drive

I want to move just some of my music from my iTunes library onto an external hard drive (reason? the music cannot be got again, but right now I am not sure if I need it all or not).
So I want to move, say, 50 albums from the main iTunes libraray to an external drive and then be able to move some or all of them back again at later date.
Do I have to copy the whole library over to the external drive and then delete the albums there that I did not want to copy over? Or is there a better way?
And how will I copy back just some of the back-up albums at a later date - is it the normal "Add folder/file to [main] library command from the File menu?

OK, I don't think I have been making it very clear what I am trying to achieve - let me try putting it differently!!
I have one iTunes folder and, at the moment, that is all backed-up via SyncToy. I only have music in iTunes.
Think of that music as being of 2 types - part A that I want for definite, and all that music is also on my iPod (I have my iPod set to Sync manually with iTunes) - this is probably well over 100 albums; and Part B music, that is on iTunes, not on the Ipod, and that I am not sure yet if I want to have in iTunes and on the iPod or not (this was a load of music copied over from another iPod several months ago) - this might be a further 50 albums.
So - part A, I want to keep and want to be fully backed-up. OK, SyncToy does that currently by backing up 100% of iTunes.
But part B - I want to copy the part B music to a different copy location, and then just keep there the part B stuff which, album by album, I will either delete completely (if I don't want it) OR want to copy back to iTunes. Once this second copy is set up, I would delete from this copy all the Part A stuff, and also delete from iTunes all the part B stuff.
I would then have:
- part A stuff on iTunes, iPod and back-up location 1;
- part B stuff on back-up location 2.
So the main question is - from what level in the iTunes folder do I need to copy over to the part B back-up so as to ensure that, when I subsequently try to copy albums back from the part B back-up to iTunes, I get all the information, artwork etc that already exists for the albums? Do I copy the music file; the media file, or the whole iTunes folder?
This may sound all terribly longwinded but, for various reasons, I am not in a position to be able to decide all at once which of the part B albums I need to keep.
Is that any clearer?
Cheers!

Pop up of some comment on mouse over to a particular component

I have a column chart which display revenue for different products. I want to dispaly som comment on mouse over to a particular product. I have tried implementing it using a labels and dynamic visibility, but here in this solution I am facing problems due to default value. By default a label (comment) for a first product is displayed. I want a comment to be displayed only on mouse over.
How Should this be implemented. Is there any other way to show pop ups on mouse over.
Thanks

Just some child in a webform?

Hi,
Please somebody of you can explain to me how to display in a webform just some child (not all child) related to member of a dimension.
Example:
Dimension: Account
Member:
Generation1: Product
Generation2 : Sales
Generation3 :
- Quantity
- price
- 711111 (Revenue)
I want to display in my webform just Sales, Quantity and Price. How can I do that?
PS: I tried Ichildren(sales) but it didn't work
Thank you

Can I assume you have thought about using the Descendants function with missing blocks and data are suppressed? Otherwise, the only option that comes to my mind is to manually select members, but I know it is not ideal.
Also, I would post this on Planning and Budgeting You may get more responses.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Just some thoughts

Just some thoughts.
Adobe says that piracy is one of the reasons for going to the cloud. CC has to verify the subscription periodically why not add that process to the perpetual license for a nominal yearly fee. On the other hand, why can't a user subscribe to CC for a month to get the latest version and then go on the web to get a crack?
I also own, unless they go to a subscription, Elements 10. Lots of functions that CS6 has for photo enhancements. I found some plugins that really enhance Elements. e.g. ElementsXXL adds new menu items, icons, buttons, key shortcuts and dialogs, so they seamlessly integrate into the user interface of Photoshop Elements. ElementsXXL bridges the gap between Photoshop Elements and Photoshop and greatly enhances the image editing experience in Photoshop Elements.
I am sure other plugins will appear to make Elements more like Photoshop.

"Adobe says that piracy is one of the reasons for going to the cloud. CC has to verify the subscription periodically why not add that process to the perpetual license for a nominal yearly fee."
Why on earth would anyone want to pay a "nominal yearly fee" for another nuisance created by Adobe. They can already shut down perpetual license holder's software if they pull the plug on the activation servers. Don't you know that their servers check our software now as it is?
Just recently with the release of the CS2 software to previous owners, many people could no longer use their already-installed CS2 software because Adobe's CS2 servers were shut down. What does that tell you?
I'm not going the way of cruising the internet for cracks. That's for disillusioned kids who think everything should be free. When my CS6 software no longer works I'm going with another company. Probably Corel for some of the programs. CorelDRAW was always better than Illustrator anyway. Industry standard doesn't always mean it's great. It just means everyone is using it and they expect you to do as well. Personally, I think Macromedia made better software before Adobe took them over and MM software was a lot cheaper.

I am getting the same error, and have been, since the last iTunes update. Driving me crazy, as some podcasts download without issue, others won't download at all, and get the 3250 error code.

How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?

Hello,
I am using HttpURLConnection to establish a HTTP connection . The connection pass through a proxy, and it requires security.
I know that I can set the proxy settings in the system properties, and this works perfect.
But I don't want to set the proxy settings in the system properties, because this proxy settings will be for ALL the URLs, and I just want for a few URLs.
How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?
Thanks

Unable to Live Migrate to Some Hosts

We have been having issues where we cannot Live Migrate to some of our hosts. I have verified the VMM Agent is the same version and the Host OS are the same. I've compared all settings in VMM and Hyper-V between hosts that are Live Migration Candidates against
hosts that are not Live Migration Candidates. The Rating Message for those that we are unable to Live Migrate to is the following:
Unable to migrate or clone the virtual machine "" because the version of virtualization software on the host does not match the version of virtual machine's virtualization software on source (6.3.9600.17334). To be migrated or cloned,
the virtual machine must be stopped and should not contain any saved state.
Any help resolving this is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
i have also a few questions. You say, that you are the total noob. Therefore you should check the total noob things :)
What Version of SCVMM are you using?
What about your infrastructure? Hyper-V Cluster? And how many Cluster?
Are you trying to migrate between Hyper-V Cluster? Or between Cluster nodes?
Are the VMs made high available on your Hyper-V Host?
Does the target host have access to the shared volume?
did you check the processor version?
Check the Patch Level of the Hosts and the Agents
Are source and destination host the same OS Version and Patch level? Are they both in the same Cluster?
without knowing more about your infrastructure i could ask a lot more questions. It would be cool if you could give us some more information about your setup. OR let us know your solution if you are able to fix the problem.
regards,
Thomas
