Moving directory with Software Update files from one server to another

Hi guys,
I have recently bought a Mac Mini to move on it my test system Mac OS 10.9 with Server 3.0, running on VM.
My question is:
Is it possible to move the Software Update packages/directory from one server to another, so I don't need to wait a whole week to have them all downloaded from the Apple servers?
I assume, if replace all the Software update fodder it is not going to work as there are some kind of index files elsewhere that will not accept that change.
I haven’t tried any migration assistant as don’t want to replicate the server.
Any suggestions, please?

hi Lucas,
i just stumbled onto this post of yours while searching for solutions for a somehow related issue that's kept me thinking.
your post isn't new, yet it received no answers... maybe you found a solution already.
in case you haven't, a possible hint might come from https://discussions.apple.com/message/20478878#20478878
for the record, i've installed os x server 3.0 on mvrx 10.9 on a 4-year old Intel Core 2 Duo mac mini with 500GB disks.
in my case, it's the almost 200GB of update files wasting what's left of my storage real estate to press for a solution.
tried to do what's suggested here, seems to work fine on my system, too. hope this helps.

Moving user files from one server to another.

Hi everyone
I would need your help to help me migrate the user files of around 300 persons to a new server.
Is there a tool that could help me doing that?
Here is the situation:
I have an old 2003 server with all the user accounts. We are using the shares to manage rights.
We want to migrate all these accounts to a 2008 R2 server using NTFS rights.
So:
is there a tool that could:
- copy the files and put NTFS right automatically with the username (%username%) as owner for each user personal folder.
- change the path of the personal folder in each account in AD to the new server.
- Make them automatically members of a specific group (We use that group to exclude these users from the old login script that would've map to old server instead.)
is there anyone who could help me with this issue?
Thank you very much!
Dag

Hi Dag,
You can use robocopy to copy user files NTFS permissions from one server to another server and use /COPY:O to copy the owner information.
For robocopy command, I would like to suggest you refer to the below article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145(v=ws.10).aspx
Robocopy will not help 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:

Then you can refer to the article below to change the path of the personal folder in each account in AD:

Copying report file from one server to another requires refresh database?

Hi,
I am using Crystal Reports 11 for development.
We have a number of crystal reports that are served on a web server running classic ASP that uses these reports with Embedded Crystal Server XI installed on the server.
When I am developing or modifying a .rpt file (report) I connect to a UAT/development database on a dedicated development server.
When I am happy with the report and testing is successful I copy and paste the report onto the production server, replacing the old report.
The problem is I don't have a user account and password on the production server. Our DBAs are the only one with passwords on the prod servers. If an application needs a password entered they come to my desk and enter it for me.
The problem is in order for the modified report to work on the production, I have to call up a DBA to "verify the database" for me by connecting to production server and entering username and password.
This is really annoying.
Why can't I just disconnect\log off server in crystal reports, then copy and paste the .rpt file to prod server and be done with it?
If I had dozens of reports to change, it seems very rigid that I have to ask a DBA to enter the user account and password used by the application to run the report.
Can someone please explain how to be able to copy and paste modified reports/ or new reports from one server to another without having this problem.
Thanks
Haggisns

Moving to the Legacy SDK forum.
Crystal can be magical sometimes but if you don't tell CR where the database is how is it to know you moved it?
As you have seen and for security reasons you can't simply "drop" a report on any server and expect it to just connect to a new DB server without being asked to enter in credentials or that you have changed the DB server to report off of.... If it's too much work for the DBA to set log on info then he should give you access to so can.
Thank you

How to transfer the files from one server to another through pl/sql...?

I want to transfer all the files from source server with respective directory to designation server with respective directory (designation server - oracle reside server).
Is it possible to ftp from one server to another server(designation server - oracle reside server) through pl/sql. these two servers are independent & unix server.

No ... The package mentioned in
http://www.oracle-base.com/dba/miscellaneous/ftp.pks
this works for across the server i.e. transfer the files from one server to other (it is basically ftp) ..
So it is NOT correct that this code transfer the file between two location & with in server..

I have two intranet sites on two different servers. There is an image on the site1 which I would like to copy to site2. How do I do that ?
Here is my code.
<cfset image1Ext = Right(firstStoryImg, 3)>
where firstStoryImg evaluates to http://mycompany.com/site1/images/firstImage.gif
The following code is throwing "The cause of this exception was: java.io.FileNotFoundException:" error.
<cffile action="copy" source="#firstStoryImg#" destination="/folder/Images/image1.#image1Ext#" nameconflict="overwrite">

In addition:

It generating an error Is there a way to move files from server to another in coldfusion

You talk to your network administrator(s) and ask them what permissions have been assigned to the user that the ColdFusion service|demeon is running as.
P.S. By default, on a windows machine, ColdFusion runs as a "localSystem" user, which usually has *no* permissions to other systems.

Moving services from one server to another

Hi all,
I moved Access Database Services and Excel Services from one app server to another app server by starting those services on the new server and stopping them on the old one. However, in the app logs and ULS, SharePoint errors out cuz it still tries to make
the calls to the old server. Why is this? I did the iisreset on the old server, but it made no difference. What am I missing?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you moved Access Services and Excel Services from one server to another server.
As Trevor said, please do an IISRESET on the new server, and compare the result.
Please restart the new server running Access Services and Excel Services applications. If restarting the server does not correct the problem, confirm that the hardware of the server is functioning correctly, or reinstall Access Services Application
and re-add the server to the server farm.

How Can I Copy an database from one server to another ?

Hi All,
I need to copy an existing database from one server to another server. I want to maintain all the settings from the source database.
I´m not used to Oracle database and i´d be glad for any help.
How can I do this ? Do I need to backup and restore in the other server ? Do I need to copy files from one server to another ?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Carlos.

I think a simpler approach, other than using RMAN, is to do a database export from the source and then import them into the target database. But you will need to do some ground work on the target, i.e, create database, tablespaces, and schemas (with their name the same as those in the source database.)

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.
I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Moving files from one drive to another

How can I move a batch of files from one drive to another using Bridge CS4?

There are two methods. One involves your operating system and the other uses Bridge.
Using Microsoft (sorry to you Mac users) have Windows Explorer open to the directory containing your files. Click and drag the directory from one drive to another. Conversely if you want to copy just a selection of the files follow this routine.
Create a duplicate named directory in the destination drive. Select the file you wish to move and do so from directory to directory.
In Bridge it is even easier. In Bridge ensure that the Folders sub pane is open and visibile. Just click on the source directory and click and drag it to the destination drive.
Testing on my part (I routinely move up to 30 gigabytes at a time) has demonstrated that Bridge adds a little time to the process depending on the size of the source files. I suspect that this has to do with additional overhead of the program.
To be safe I would recommend that you do use the copy method instead of moving the directory. This is a failsae in case any problems crop up during the process. It takes mere moments to delete the source directory after the copy routine has run.

I have over 200 hours of HD video on 5 different TB Thunderbolt GRaid hard drives. I need to reorganize my projects, moving large files from one drive to another. Advice?

Do some testing to get your method working right with some less than important footage.
Copy/paste files where you want then.
Use the FCE Reconnect feature to tell FCE where the newly copied files reside.
Make sure the new location and files are working as expected with your Projects.
Delete the original files if no longer required.

Moving Files from one project to another??

New to Aperture ..and wondering is there an easy way to move files from one project to another? Or to move from one Album one project to another Album in another project if the Albums have the same name?
thanks in advance,
Steve

Yes, simply drag-and-drop a thumbnail from a Project to another Project; or Option-drag-and-drop (one way copies the image, the other way moves the image).
Or to move from one Album one project to another Album in another project if the Albums have the same name
Although Albums can be located in Projects, Albums are really not "in" Projects as regards where the images come from. Each album is simply a virtual collection of pointers to images; the images pointed to can be located in multiple Project(s). So just drag-and-drop a thumbnail image from any project to an album to add a pointer for that image to that album.
Although it seems complex it really isn't. Albums are a very powerful organizational tool with essentially zero overhead. Try it. Create some test albums in various ways just to see what happens and delete the albums when you are done. Since Albums consist of just "pointers" we can make/delete them at will for any reason.
Note that Albums can be deleted with no warning message because Apple figures a simple collection of pointers is not that big a deal. Personally I think Album-deleting should have a (non-dire) explanatory warning message, because sometimes an album can consist of a complex collection of pointers.
Multiple Albums should never have the same name.

Moving files from one folder to another caused freeze

I now have a list of files stuck in the center of my screen.
I'm sure a reboot will fix this (I hope!) but I thought it was a bug worth reporting.
All I did was move a copy a collection of files from one folder to another folder. It made the "move" sound, and the files have been copied, but something clearly went wrong

Have java.io.File objects pointing to the three folders. Get the list of all the files in the folder. Start a loop and check if the filename ends with Data.dat. If it is so then copy file to the final folder.
To Copy file you can use any of the two approaches.
1. You can read that file as byte stream (java.io.FileInputStream) and write it to the other folder as bytes (java.io.FileOutputStream).
2. You can use shell commands to do this. (java.lang.Runtime.exe() method)
