Migration path 10.6 to 10.10?

What would be the right/possible migration (upgrade) path from Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to 10.10 (Yosemite)?
Thanks

Hi,
I made it. I did not use the migration assistant, as my old user account was already fairly corrupted and slow and had two laptops to migrate from old to new.
I used an external harddisk for transfering the data.
Following elements needed special care:
1.System:
-full backup of old system- you never know!
-installation of new user with same name/password to simplify the transfer on target system
-activate the firewall on new system.
-System update to newest version 10.10.1 on target system (activate first internet connection)
-New system: Printer driver reinstallation,
-move desktop contents from /users/[yourUser]/desktop to identical location on new system.
-make all hidden files on new system visible to see later /users/[yourUser]/library - I installed the freeware Tinkertools for this purpose on new system.
2. Keychain:
-Copy from old location /users/[yourUser]/library/keychains the according files to new location /users/[yourUser]/library/keychains
and then open the new keychain app and tell the all "add Keychain" and point to the new location.(this actually also copies all certificates)
3. Mail (I used entourage 2008 before but had no new license for it so I switched to thunderbird email client).
I exported all mails folder by folder by dragging them out of the old entourage so they got converted into an "mbox" file and reimported those into the newest version of thunderbird client (31.3). To import mbox formated files, I first installed an extension "ImportExportTools" and then it works. Includes also attachments.
4.bookmarks from all browsers: I exported all firefox bookmarks and reimported them into new system again on a freshly installed firefox browser.
5. applications:its a big step, so I barely copied any application to avoid incompatibilities but re-downloaded the newest version -or re-bought it, if necessary. (a.e Office, etc..)
6 .iPhoto: I had to copy the full iPhoto database from old system at users/[yourUser]/pictures/iPhoto Library to same location in new system, then opened the new app to let it digest the old database and update and save it-works smooth.
7.Parallels: I had to buy a new version (parallels 10), my old one (parallels 5) did not work on 10.10. and then remigrate all the virtual PC's. that works.
8.iTunes data: that's the trickiest part, serious work:
I copied from old iTunes following data:
-users/[yourUser]/music/iTunes (all) (to reimport later all the music data)
-users/[yourUser]/library/application support/MobileSync to new location users/[yourUser]/library/application support/MobileSync/backup (path changed!)- this is for the migration of ipads/iphones to new device(!)
-users/[yourUser]/library/preferences/com.apple.iTunes* (also for the iphone migration)
That worked not perfectly well, as I had tried already before to reimport music in a different way- so I had now every mp3 visible twice in two ways-but this problem is unique to my scenario, it should work fine if you do it this way here. Then open iTunes, let it digest the database and save.
For ipad/iphone migration, further steps are required:
1.open iTunes and activate the new device with your appleID account (guess this step is mandatory)
2.back up all your iPhones/iPads on the old device in the old iTunes!
3.iPhone: plug USB cable between iPhone/iTunes (if you use USB Cable and not iCloud as I do).
It forced me first to update the iPhone from 7.04 to 7.1.2, then use "restore Backup" to bring back your data into the fresh iPhone- that works.
As part of this a couple of dialogues will ask you if you want to bind your iPhone with the new system, do agree.
4.iPad:worked a bit different- I updated to iOS 8.0, but that was not mandatory I believe-just use "restore backup" and it will bind your iPad to the new device.
There's a more precise description on the iTunes/iPhone migration part here:
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/tutorials/373087/transferring-your-iphone-or-ipad-to-a-ne w-mac
Connecting your iPhone/ipad to a new device is really a hassle if you don't use iCloud..but its doable in many cases.
5.old device: deactivate in iTunes the device, so its connected now only to the new device.
Finally, make a backup of the "fresh" new system for later restores.
Hope this helps- I guess the extra efforts here are substantial, but if my new user account is stable and performing for the next five years its worth the efforts..best regards,
Formoza

Suggested migration path for 10G rel 1 (90400) installation to 10.1.2.0.2?

We are a heavy forms/reports shop. We have just gotten done installing 10G Rel 1 (9.0.4.0.0), and now that the latest version of the App Server has been released, I'm wondering what the suggested Migration Path should be? And whether there are any "must have" features that will make an appreciable difference in forms/reports. Or, should we just install the latest patchset for our 904 installation and be done with it?
Thanks in advance.
Phil McDermott

Hmm... well, I'm going to be testing the forms/reports features of 10.1.2.0.2 just as soon as I get time, but what I'm hoping for most is that forms will work with SSO through the webcache. There is a bug in 9.0.4 that I'm aware of where SSO fails while working through the webcache. Oracle said they were working on the issue...
...anyone here know if Oracle fixed that bug? It may be a while before I'll have the time to play with 10.1.2.0.2.

Forms 6i to Forms 11g - Migration path

Have a customer who is currently using forms 6i and DB 9.X and is willing to migrate to Forms 11g and DB12g.
    Questions
        a) Does anyone know the migration path that should be used?
        b) As far as my understanding it should do both upgrades (forms and DB) at the same time as forms 6i is not certified with DB 12g and Forms 11g is not certified with DB 9.X right?
        c) Any project to use as reference?
        d) Any re-usable?
Regards,
Mariano

Is this an EBS installation? If yes, please note that Developer 11g is not certified with R12 and you will need to use 10g instead.

New Clean Mac - Best Migration Path?

I currently have a iMac G5 running Tiger and iLife 06 and have just recieved a new iMac with Leopard pre-installed and was looking for some advice in the best migration path.
I would like to know wether people recommend just using the Migration Assistant to get everything across or should I start afresh and copy across specific photos, music, mail files etc?
The question stems from the fact that the G5 has had a couple of upgrades in its time and I look at things such as the iphoto library files and they seem to be mutiple libraries (ie iphoto library, iphoto 6 library) and other duplicate files. So not sure if MA will sort and clean these out or will copy all across?
Any thoughts would be apreciated........thanks Daniel

Hello Daniel,
Very similar issues here. Just upgraded from a G4 to an intel 2.4G. I cloned the G4 onto an external. Set up the new iMac. Connected to the external and ported across only those files I wanted or needed. Now have a clean iMac with no clutter or unwanted junk on it. Double checked that everything was in order before wiping the external and cloning again.
Hang on to the G5 - Just in case you missed something. A flash drive or CD will resolve any issues.
Regards
Ian

11gR2 RAC stability and migration path

We are preparing to go from a 10g Data Guard environment (1 primary and 1 physical standby) to an 11g RAC cluster on Sun M5000s (Data Guard will not be part of the final configuration). We have heard that 11gR2 RAC is not yet mature enough so we are considering going to 11gR1. I'm curious what the general consensus is regarding the stability of 11gR2 RAC.
Also wondering what the best migration path would be. We are considering upgrading the 10g Data Guard databases to 11g and then creating a RAC physical standby database on the 11g cluster for the primary database on the old server. The migration to the new RAC cluster will consist of a failover to the new 11g RAC database and will involve minimal downtime. The 10g Data Guard databases and servers will then be decommissioned.
Thoughts?

You will be surprised if I said Oracle RAC11gR2 seems to be a new version NOT a new realease of Oracle RAC11gR1.
Many new features, surprises, bugs, yes bugs....
I suggest to directly address to Oracle itself , to your support at Oracle , as it seems to be a production DB. DOnt take the risk to decide from this forum , ask oracle experts at your support!
Good luck

Final Cut Studio 2 Migration path from Final Cut Express

I'm currently using FCE HD 3.5, which I upgraded from FCE version 1.0
I understand that no migration path exists from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Studio 2.
However I have seen on ebay someone selling an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 5 HD from Final Cut express.
I was wondering.... if I got this then could I then get a Final Cut Studio 2 Upgrade from FCP 5 HD?
Does anyone see any problems with doing this? It seems to be a way to save money.
Thanks,
Steve.

And it's well worth it. you can recoup a little of
your cost by uninstalling fce and selling it.
What's required in order to sell it? Can the registration be transferred to a new owner?

Migration Path from v2008.3 to v9.3.2

Is there a migration path from v2008.3 to v9.3.2?
Our v2008.3 environment is on a Windows 2003 server, therefore we cannot do an in-place upgrade to v9.3.2 (on Windows 2008R2). CatalogDeployer does not work between v2008.3 and v9.3.2.
Any ideas on how to move the services from one environment to another?
Please help!

We were on 2008.3 and then went to 9.1 SP2. The upgrade meant we had to install the last service pack for 2008 and then install to 9.1 and then install the SP2 pack. This change fro 2008.3 to 9.1 SP2 was a big pain for us on the Reporting side. The MyServices and ServiceDesigner pieces had little problems. This was an upgrade from Win2003 w/ SQL 2005 to Win2003 w/SQL 2008. We've been running 9.1 SP2 on SQL2008 for a year now with no problems.
We are now upgrading to 9.3.2 and are just going to run the 9.3.2 installer. We will have new servers put in place with Win 2008R2 and on the database side have just done an inplace update from SQL 2008 to SQL 2008 R2. This means that currently we are running 9.1 SP2 on SQL 2008 R2 in production. We run a very high volume for RequestCenter so the setup works fine for us in this topology. Going to Win2008 we are going to copy the database tables and run an in-place upgrade on the newly built Win2008 app server.
As for CatalogDeployer, we kept the old environment and the new environment around while testing the upgrade. This meant we could make changes to Prod using the old environment and then once production was upgraded, we deleted the old environment.

Migration Path for Organizer?

Out of curiousity, what are the "natural" migration paths from Organizer? Do any software "read" the Organizer DB and convert to their own format (ACDSee? Lightroom?)?
I'm not planning to move off Photoshop Elements any time soon, but Organizer doesn't appear to get a lot of attention from Adobe and lots of us like to have a Plan B.
I'm not too concerned about Slide Shows (I like JAlbum) or the "map" feature (other free or cheap applications do map tagging in an easier and more standard way). I'm mostly concerned about tags, notes and collections.
I know you can force Organizer to write the tags out to the fiel in a standard way (IPTC categories I think) and comments and dates are written to the EXIF header. But that's "Plan C" ;-}

Before jumping into the migration/conversion process, I would like to get an excellent understanding of the problems and limitations of the conversion process. Is there a book or document that provides an extensive description of the conversion process and identifies comprehensively and fairly the problems and limitations of such a conversion?
Also, in order to learn to use efficiently Lightroom: is there one or two books that you would recommend me more than others?
Finally I have also a probably simple question: I am not motivated at all to use RAW because of the huge amount of Disk Space required for 30'000-50'000 RAW Photos (andbecause of the time and Disk space required for Backups of such large amounts of Photos). Will I be able to use all (or most?) nice features of Lightroom, even if I continue to use jpeg File formats?
There is no book that covers conversion from PSE to Lightroom.
In general, the conversion from PSE to Lightroom does most of what you would want it to do, so I wouldn't fear the process. The conversion from PSE to Lightroom is not perfect; for one thing, version sets are lost, as there is no concept of version sets in Lightroom. Stacks are maintained upon conversion. Tag hierarchies don't show up in LR exactly as they were in PSE; but its relatively easy to recreate your hierarchies in Lightroom.
I recommend Martin Evening's book, The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers. I have become quite dis-illusioned with Scott Kelby's books for a number of reasons, so I dis-recommend them.
Your disk space problems exist whether or not your photos are in Lightroom or PSE or neither or both. Lightroom doesn't make this worse or better. Getting more disk space makes this better. Lightroom is an excellent program for RAW photos; it is just as excellent for .jpg photos. What you lose in photo quality is not because of Lightroom's ability to handle .jpg photos; you lose in photo quality because your originals are .jpg and what ANY program can do with these is less than what ANY program can do with RAW photos.
And by the way, I find myself frightened by the thought that someone has 30000 to 50000 photos and doesn't do backups because of disk space problems. This is a recipe for having zero photos some day when your hard drive crashes. If you can't make backups because of disk space issues, I would strongly recommend that you remedy this by getting another hard disk before you address any conversion to Lightroom issues. Spend that money on a disk drive rather than on Lightroom

Migration path - Consolidated tool / doc

Is there a consolidated document / tool (like CFO) to know the migration path from the source and destination version.

Hi,
If you want to migrate a planning application from 9.2 to 11 then you can use the same method as migrating across any version.
Basically using the copying schema/database method which has been covered many many times on here.

Anyone know if there will be a migration path or tool to allow users to bring existing reports that are configured in the current ZCM reporting (SAP BO) to the new Jaspersoft platform?

"very doubtful" is the answer that I have at the moment: they're very

Exchange 2003 On-Premise to Office 365 - Easiest Migration Path

We would like to migrate our domain from an existing on-premise 2003 Small Business Server to Office 365.   We only have 2 users so I am looking for the easiest upgrade path.
We will be retiring the SBS 2003 Server and have purchased a Windows 2012 Server to use strictly as a files server post-migration.
I would like to split the migration into 2 phases:
1 Migrate the Exchange Server functionality to Office 365 in Phase 1
2. Migrate the file server function from SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2012 in Phase 2. Sicne I only have 2 users, I am going to kill the SBS 2003 domain, create a new local domain, and migrate
the profiles and files.
The questions I have:
1.
Can I migrate the domain mail server functionality to Office 365 and just import the PSTs for the 2 accounts.
I have perused the migration documents but I think it would be easiest just to import the PSTs for 2 users rather than setting up the Outlook Anywhere on a 2003 Server.
2. Will I be able to initially manage the Active Directory accounts in Office 365 and then move that functionality back onto the Windows 2012 Server when that comes on-line?
3. If I am overlooking any issues other than those that I have mentioned, please provide feedback

Server Replacement - Migration Path?

Hello,
I currently have 2012 R2 deployed with the Essentials role installed and configured. The server it is deployed on is coming up on end of life, with a new server on its way. What are my options in terms of migrating from the old hardware to new? Any guidance
available on this? I think I see the following choices:
- Just move the hard drives to the new box and pray to the PnP gods
- Install new server in migration mode, deploy and reconfigure various features to suite
-- Would be resource intensive, and require a change to data paths (as it would be a new machine name)
- Stage a temporary swing server for identity data, promo down existing server and remove from environment, promo up new server
-- Install/reconfigure functionality as required
-- Could keep existing name/IP address
-- Restore from backup could be a tangent to this, though I'm not 100% on how well the restore would work.
Any thoughts on this are appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Based on your description, I understand that you want to migration from old server to the Windows Server 2012
R2 with the Windows Server Essentials Experience role installed. Please refer to the following TechNet article and check if it helps you.
Migrate from Previous Versions to Windows
Server 2012 R2 Essentials or Windows Server Essentials Experience
If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Migration path for us.

Guys
We are using MDEX 6.1.4 in production. This was the version released by Endeca (not Oracle Endeca).
We have a dash-boarding kind of application that uses the JAVA Endeca API with Endeca EQL/RRN and Analytics queries. We have guided navigation features in the application, and they work great with Endeca analytics being used to render charts and tables.
Now we are thinking of upgrading to the Oracle Endeca version and we are stumped. There are 2 paths available to us - Endeca Commerce Platform that allows us to keep the existing pipelines, and also allow us to use the Content Assembler API and Analytics API. The other product OEID is touted for BI type customers. We are a BI type customer - but we do all our BI type queries using Endeca Analytics API.
Can anyone tell us how to proceed? We also have OBIEE in-house - and are we better off biting the bullet and going with OEID and a major rewrite? Or should we go to Oracle Commerce and keep most of our Forge and other stuff?
Thanks and warm regards

HI Henno,
you question: "Can the Treasury "box" be running New GL while the core system is running the old one? (We are currently interfacing via FIDCMT IDOCS. It is not foreseen that document splitting will take place in the Treasury environment.) "
We are currently running on ECC 6.0 with New GL. The Idocs for the FI interface have not changed but the main concern about what you are trying to achieve is that in the future when the "core" system migrates to New GL they might require document splitting which in turn could affect your treasury box set-up. More likely, you will have to synch both boxes to provide the data that would be required to post correctly in FI core.
What this means is that if you have not defined the right characteristics (document splitting, etc.) in your treasury box you will have to do a re-implementation of New GL and this will require SAP help...so you might end up implementing new GL again in both your system in April 2012.
I have to assume also that the team for the April 2012 implementation does not have the final requirement as yet. So I would not advice you to active new GL until you can synch up with your core system set up.

Migration path HP 9202- 11

Hi Experts,
I've seen some thraads about migration but they don't seem to fit my question. What is the official way migrating Planning 9.2.0.2. to 11.1.2 ? I did not find anything in the huge official Oracle documentation?! There is that new LCM tool but in the 11 version it states in conjunction with Planning it only can be used with Fusion edition (meaning 11)? Is there a 'direct path' betwen 9202 and 11.1.2? Or do I have to make it in steps? 9202->93x->11? What is the right tool to do so? Export it in 93x using the command line LCM -> will the LCM in version 11 'understand' that 93 content?
Perhaps I'm blind but I did not find anything clearly describing the path by now...?!
Thanks
Robert
