Moving Chargeback Server Database

I'm trying to move our Chargeback 2.5 server in stages and I'm having problems on my first stage; moving the chargeback DB.
The DB was copied to the new database server successfully, and I updated the four xml files with the new database server name.
Under the System Health tab of the web GUI I'm even seeing the newly updated DB server name under General Info>vCenter Chargeback Database.
However, when I try running the Chargeback 2.6 install to upgrade the DB connection test shows the old database server name and it is grayed out.
I've restarted the server after making the xml file changes, but still the same thing happens.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Installer seems to be using the address for DB server taken from the following file which were created during the original installation.
\.....VMware vCenter Chargeback\Uninstall_VMware vCenter Chargeback\installvariables
When you look inside the file, you can see the following 3 parameters pointing to the old DB server's address.
DB_HOST=
dbHostPort=
dbUrl=
Change the address to the new DB server and go through the upgrade. Now the DB server's address in "Database Configuration" section of the installation wizard should be pointing to the new DB server.

Moving the mailbox database copy from one exchange server to another exchange server 2010 DAG

Hello Team
is it possible to the move the passive copy of database and logs from one server to another exchange server in the same DAG with out removing and deleting the mailbox database copies in exchange 2010
normaly procedure is
Remove the mailbox database copies and manually delete the .edb files and logs from the physical location and re-add the mailbox database copy to the new server in the DAG.
is that any way to achieve to move the passive database copy to another exchange 2010 server in the same DAG ?

From your note, you appear to have a two-member DAG (with a server hosting your active database, and a second hosting the passive copy), and you want to move your passive database copy from the current passive server to another. Your note
about what "the normal procedure is" isn't 100% correct - there are many ways to handle this task, and all can be considered "normal". Why not just add the third server to the DAG and
add a database copy on that third server? Once it is fully seeded, you can remove the current passive copy. This way, you never lose your redundancy.
Yes i can add the third and fourth serve in DAG , but i cannot add the mailbox database copies to the 3rd and 4th mailbox server in DAG as am using RTM version of exchange 2010 which is allowing to have only 5 database inclding mailbox datbase copies
and also currently my lab setup is two member dag (with a server hosting your active database,
and a second hosting the passive copy) in the same site named SITE A
and recently i have created new SITE B and included the 3rd and 4th DAG members in the same DAG
i want the mailbox database copies from the mailbox server database in SITE A to
Mailbox server database in SITE B as passive copy
That is why i want to move the mailbox database without deleting / removing it manually
Hope you understand my situation!

Migrating OBIEE Repfrom Oracle database to SQL server database in Solaris.

Hi,
I need inputs in how we would migrate our connections in Repository from Oracle database to SQL server database in Sloaris server.
Is there a complication here.
Regards,
Bhavik

Well that makes more sense, you probably have phrased your question better. Microsoft SQL Server Connectivity Components are not supported in any other operating system than Windows. So you will not be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to your SQL Server. ODBC it's an option but there aren't many ODBC drivers for Unix systems. Luckily for you OBIEE includes the DataDirect ODBC drivers and supports using them to connect to a SQL Server. Check [the documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/general_101331.htm#sthref9] on how to use them. Having said that I would say that whoever is pushing to move your DWH to SQL Server should consider also moving OBIEE to a Windows server to be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to SQL Server.

Passive server database still failed and suspended after seeding

Hi,
I have a 2 exchange 2013 servers in windows 2012 OS both servers are configured with DAG one is active and the other one is passive
I moved the 5 databases in other drive and it was successful but no matter what I try one of my database in passive server show "ContentIndexState: FailedandSuspended"
I tried to manually copy the database file from the active server to passive server but still the status is the same. Tried to reseed the database and wait for at least 1 day to change the status from FailedandSuspended
to healthy but still no changes happened.
I tried to delete the afftected database in passive server and copy the healthy database from active to passive again and do the reseed procedure but still the problem is the same. Please help. Thank you!

Hi,
Now, you have active database in E:\ disk on active server and passive database in C:\ disk on passive disk, is it right?
We need to note that the relative location of the passive copy of the database is identical to the location of the active copy. In your case, you need to check if the relative location of the passive copy of the database is identical to the location of the
active copy.
If the path is different, you need to re-add database copy to check result.
Otherwise, you can check the following article to see if this can help you.
Content Index status of all or most of the mailbox databases in the environment shows "Failed"

Moving A Confluence Database

Has anyone moved a Confluence Database before?
I need to move it as the Server it is currently sitting on is predominantly a development ant test platform.
Both SQL Server instances are the same version and both instances are on clustered enviornments hosted by the same nodes.
Thanks
Please click "Mark As Answer" if my post helped. Tony C.

Please check the below link:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Migrating+Confluence+Between+Servers
Method one – standard procedure
Step 1: Take note of your add-ons
Take note of the add-ons (plugins) currently installed and enabled in Confluence, so that you can reinstate them later. Make a note of the following for each add-on:
Add-on name
Version
Enabled or disabled status. This is useful if you have enabled or disabled modules yourself, making your configuration differ from the default.
Step 2: Back up your data
Create an XML backup of your existing data, via the Confluence administration console. See Manually Backing Up the Site. Make a note of the location
where you put the XML file. You will need it later to import your Confluence data into your new database.
Shut down Confluence.
Make a copy of the
Confluence Home and other important directories. This is a precautionary measure, to ensure you can recover your data if it is mistakenly overwritten.
If you are using an external database, make a separate backup using the utilities that were installed with that database. This also is a precautionary measure.
Step 3: Set up the new database
Choose the
database setup instructions for your new database, and follow those instructions to do the following:
Install the database server.
Perform any required configuration of the database server, as instructed.
Add the Confluence database and user. Make a note of the username and password that you define in this step. You will need them later, when running the Confluence Setup Wizard.
Step 4. Install Confluence (same version number) in a new location
Now you will install Confluence again, with a different home directory path and installation path.
Note: You must use the same version of Confluence as the existing installation. (If you want to upgrade Confluence, you must do it as a separate step.) For example, if your current site is running Confluence 5.1.2, your new installation
must also be Confluence 5.1.2.
When running the
Confluence installer:
Choose Custom Install. (Do not choose to upgrade your existing installation.)
Choose a new destination directory. This is the installation directory for your new Confluence. It must not be the same as the existing Confluence installation.
Choose a new home directory. This is the data directory for your new Confluence. It must not be the same as the existing Confluence installation.
Step 5. Download and install the database driver if necessary
Note that Confluence bundles some database drivers, but you'll need to install the driver yourself if it is not bundled. Follow the
database setup instructions for your new database, to download and install the database driver if necessary.
Step 6. Run the Confluence setup wizard and copy your data to your new database
When running the
Confluence setup wizard:
Enter your license key, as usual.
Choose Production Installation as the installation type.
In the database configuration step, choose your new database type from the dropdown menu, then choose
External Database.
Choose the connection type: Direct JDBC or Datasource. If you are not sure which, choose 'Direct JDBC'. This is the most common connection type.
When prompted for the database user and password, supply the credentials you defined earlier when adding the Confluence database to your database server.
On the load content step, choose Restore From Backup. This is where you will import the data from your XML backup. There are two options for accessing the XML file:
Browse to the location of your XML backup on your network, and choose
Upload and Restore.
Alternatively, put the XML file in the Confluence home directory of the new site (<CONFLUENCE-HOME-DIRECTORY>\restore) then choose
Restore.
Note: If you choose not to restore during the Confluence setup wizard, you can do the import later. Go to the Confluence administration console and choose to restore an XML backup. See
Site Backup and Restore.
Step 7. Re-install your add-ons
Re-install any add-ons (plugins) that are not bundled with Confluence.
Use the same version of the add-on as on your old Confluence site.
The data created by the add-ons will already exist in your new Confluence site, because it is included in the XML backup.
Step 8. Check settings for new machine
If you are moving Confluence to a different machine, you need to check the following settings:
Configure your new base URL. See
Configuring the Server Base URL.
Check your application links. See
Linking to Another Application.
Update any gadget subscriptions from external sites pointing to this Confluence site. For example, if your JIRA site subscribes to Confluence gadgets, you will need to update your JIRA site. See
Adding JIRA Gadgets to a Confluence Page.
Review any other resources that other systems are consuming from Confluence.
Method two – for installations with a large volume of attachments
Before you start
Before proceeding with these instructions please check the following.
Your existing installation must be Confluence 2.2 or later.
Your attachments must be stored in the file system, not in your database. (To migrate between attachment storage systems, see
Attachment Storage Configuration.)
The instructions below will only work if both of the above are true.
Step 1: Take note of your add-ons
Take note of the add-ons (plugins) currently installed and enabled in Confluence, so that you can reinstate them later. Make a note of the following for each add-on:
Add-on name
Version
Enabled or disabled status. This is useful if you have enabled or disabled modules yourself, making your configuration differ from the default.
Step 2: Back up your data
Create an XML backup of your existing data, via the Confluence administration console. See Manually Backing Up the Site. Make a note of the location
where you put the XML file. You will need it later to import your Confluence data into your new database.
Shut down Confluence.
Make a copy of the attachments directory (<CONFLUENCE-HOME-DIRECTORY>\attachments) in your Confluence Home directory. You will need it later to copy your Confluence attachments data into your new Confluence installation.
If you are using an external database, make a separate backup using the utilities that were installed with that database. This also is a precautionary measure.
Step 3: Set up the new database
Choose the
database setup instructions for your new database, and follow those instructions to do the following:
Install the database server.
Perform any required configuration of the database server, as instructed.
Add the Confluence database and user. Make a note of the username and password that you define in this step. You will need them later, when running the Confluence Setup Wizard.

Choose Custom Install. (Do not choose to upgrade your existing installation.)
Choose a new destination directory. This is the installation directory for your new Confluence. It must not be the same as the existing Confluence installation.
Choose a new home directory. This is the data directory for your new Confluence. It must not be the same as the existing Confluence installation.
Step 5. Download and install the database driver if necessary
Note that Confluence bundles some database drivers, but you'll need to install the driver yourself if it is not bundled. Follow the

Note: If you choose not to restore during the Confluence setup wizard, you can do the import later. Go to the Confluence administration console and choose to restore an XML backup. See
Site Backup and Restore.
Step 7: Copy your attachments across
Copy the contents of the attachments directory (<CONFLUENCE-HOME-DIRECTORY>\attachments) from your old Confluence Home directory to your new Confluence Home directory.
Step 8. Re-install your add-ons
Re-install any add-ons (plugins) that are not bundled with Confluence.
Use the same version of the add-on as on your old Confluence site.
The data created by the add-ons will already exist in your new Confluence site, because it is included in the XML backup.

Moving sql server 2000 to sql server 2014

Moving sql server 2000 to sql server 2014. Could someone please give me steps to move everything from sql 2000 one server to sql 2014. I have 2 instance on sql 2000. 8 databases on each of them. On both instances we have store procedure and jobs.

i think your SQL Server 2000 is hosted on old Windows server version so based on that you should prepare new environment for SQL Server 2014 from Win Server 2012 Sp1 and SQL Server 2014 and build your clusters then start your Migration from Old Servers to
new servers and here below is 10 configurations outlines that you should look after carefully for any DB consolidation or migration from a server to a server and indeed they represent unique potentials for your DB Consolidation /migration service that
can leverage distinctly your service quality and shape you very well in front of your customers:
1- Backup DBs and restore DBs with ZERO down time and ZERO data loss in the same time …Awesome …!
2- Cloning all DB special features that are not covered by backups and restores such as :
RCSI (Read committed snapshot isolation level using row versioning)
Service brokers
Encryption keys and certificates
3- Cloning identically all SQL logins with their mapped DB users including their passwords (if SQL authenticated logins ) and privileges on both server and DB levels .
4- Copying .rdl and .rds files between different versions of reporting services where backup and restore reportserver and reportservertemp DBs is not an option
5- Cloning all special Jobs like certain business jobs configured to perform some business stuff .
6- Cloning all mail profiles with their mail accounts
7- Cloning all Linked server + Aliases might be used inside old DB servers
8- Cloning some server configurations like CLR ,CPU parallelism, Replication size , Network packet size , optimize for ad hoc workloads
9- Cloning all Replications configurations for publishers and subscribers
10- Cloning all DTC configurations for both local and clustered DTC services

Can Oracle view refer a table in Sql Server Database

Can a view created in Oracle database refer a table created in SQL Server database. If yes, how do we do it. Code will be very help full.
Again, if yes does it require any special software and what would be price of that software.
Thanks for your response in advance.
Venkat Sathiamurthy

You would need to configure Oracle Heterogeneous Connectivity to create a database link to the SQL Server system. This can either be done via the Oracle Transparent Gateway for Microsoft SQL Server, which retails for $15,000 per server at http://store.oracle.com or by configuring Oracle Generic Connectivity and using ODBC to go after the SQL Server data. Depending on the operating system you run Oracle on, there may be a free (or cheap) ODBC driver for SQL Server that could be used.

Trigger to populate table in sql server database

Maybe this isn't the right board to post this in, but here goes:
We have an Oracle 9i database, with a table that get's populated with a new record every minute or so.
We need to take some values from the newly inserted record and populate a table in a sql server database instantly. The people requesting this have not said as much, but I am thinking deletes and updates would need to be the same.
How would it be best to do this? My first thought was a trigger on the oracle table that populates the sql server table via heterogeneous db link.
Any other ideas?
thanks in advance..

How can I connect to SQL server database thru local network by using JSP?

I'm currently doing a project by using JSP..And I need to display record from the SQL Server database in our school's local network. May I know how can I do that? How can I write the code so that I can able to access the SQL Server databsase Throught school's network by using JSP? Please tell me step by step how can I do that. I'm using Tomcat 4.1 as Web Server. And I had J2SE and J2EE installed in my computer.

first you have to establish a ODBC DSN on your computer,
that connects to the database...you can do that from your control pannel.
i assume that the TOMCAT server is residing on your computer....(if the webserver is in other computer then you would have to create a System DSN on the data sources ODBC option in the settings>control pannel of that machine)
then you can use that DSN name to connect to the data base from the class file....for further assistance on how to create the class that access the tutorials in sun site.

I can write a data array(2D)into a table of my SQL Server Database. The data array was writen to a column with image type. I know a data array is transformed a binary string when writing into database, but I dont know how to get the data array when I fetch the binary string from database.
My question is:
How to transform the binary string into data array? which vi's should I use? I have tried unflatten from string but failed.
Any response is appriciated.

In order to use Unflatten from string you first need to Flatten it
before writing it. Also depending on the database driver, the returned
data may actually not be binary but Hexadecimal encoded ASCII which you
would first have to decode to binray.
