Moving from 10gR2 Db on Unix (Tru64) to a new Linux server (10gR2)

Hi,
We are planning on moving our oracle 10gR2 Db on Unix (Tru64) to a new Linux server (same database 10gR2). Interested in discussing the easiest way for a newbie to get the data over to the new box. We currently perform a 'COLD" backup and have no transaction logging. The database is a data warehouse so stopping the database and backing up the files is not a issue. The database size is 500GB.
The Oracle ADDM on our current box is showing "individual database segments responsible for significant user I/O". There is a tablespace with about 30 separate data files that need to be "reorganized"!
Should we perform the reorganize before the migration or after on the new faster box?
What is the easiest way to do this for a newbie? Thanks.

Since your source and target platform all little ENDIAN format. Cold copy from OS level is fastest and easiest way.
If you plan to reorg the tablespace along the way, you have to do export/import, use data pump since you are on 10g.

Moving from RAW FILES on hp-ux to ASM on Linux

We need to migrate a 10g R2 Database from HP-UX raw files sitting on EMC Storage to ASM on a Linux machine.
How can that be done with minimal downtime since the endianess is different between the 2 O/S ?
Yoni

If you can; create a DiskGroup on the HP/UX system and let ASM move the files. If you can do it that way downtimeshould be zero.
Otherwise use RMAN.

Moving from outlook on vista to mail on my new mac pro

I need to transfer my mailboxes from outlook to mail. I have everything else synced over mobile me.
Thank You
A.J.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
When I transfered to the Mac, I found the following guide online, and am posting an excerpt of it below.
1) Install Thunderbird on the same Windows PC (or virtual PC) that has Outlook 2003 with all your email.
2) During the install, Thunderbird asks if you want to import your email from Outlook, select yes.
3) After install, please verify the import has been done successfully.
4) Go into My Computer and go to the directory where Thunderbird stores your email in its own format. On my PC (using XP), it was C:\documents and settings\<windows user name>\application data\thunderbird\<some gibberish>\mail
5) You will see many files here. You'll also notice some files which share the name of your default mail sub-folders. (ie. inbox and inbox.mst)
6) You'll want to copy the files with no extenstion on to CD or Memory Key and rename them with a .mbox extension. (ie. inbox becomes inbox.mbox). Any custom sub-folders you've created in Outlook in the past will show up here as folders called <sub-folder name>.msf. Go into those sub-folders and look for any files without any extenstions. Repeat the same renaming to .mbox on them as well.
7) Take your memory key or CD to Mac OS X.
The guide then details importing into Entourage, but since you are using Mobile Me I will assume you want to use Apple Mail. Open Mail, go to Import Mailboxes under the File menu, and select mbox files. Choose the folder containing the renamed files and let Mail do its magic. Good luck, and I hope this is helpful. I know it is a pain!

Moving PO to new Linux server from Netware 6.5

We have the latest version of Novell Data Synchronizer. What is the procedure to update the Novell Data Synchronizer server with the new server? Is it just as simple as updating the IP address of the new Linux server hosting the new PO? Anyone do this yet?

Best way to spec a new Linux server from existing Windows 2003 server?

We are looking to upgrade our servers to 11.1.2 and I am looking for some documentation/suggestions on the best way to spec the new box on a Linux platform.
I do have the current documentation from ORACLE with regard to "Estimating Disk and Memory Requirements" but am looking for some processor suggestions as well..
Any thoughts or ideas would be welcomed.
Especially helpful would be anyone who is currently running in a Linux environment any pitfalls or issues you've been having with hardware or software.
Thanks in advance.
Adam,

I don't think it is possible to recommend you any hardware setup without knowing your environment, budget and expertise.
If you plan to install Enterprise Linux, like Oracle Linux, you should look into getting server hardware and not a desktop system. You may also want think about using Oracle VM virtualization products.
Are you looking for rackmount or blade systems? it might be possible to limit your hardware decision between HP, Dell and IBM. I would personally prefer HP, but that's a matter of experience.
You should probably find out your OS requirements. E-business products and installation instructions are usually designed for the OS version that existed at that time. If you install a newer version of the OS you may run into configuration or backward compatibility issues that may require to install additional software. You should check your OS requirements first before purchasing any hardware. The newest hardware may not support older versions of the OS.
The HP support side shows a Linux certification matrix at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert.html which might be helpful should you decide to get HP equipment.
You might also want to check your current Oracle licensing if you upgrade to a faster or more CPU's.

Moved from Australia to Singapore with a new phone account iphone4

Hi all.
I've just moved from Australia to Singapore. I have my new micro sim from Starhub
But when I put it into the phone I get a " no service" message. Oddly though when
I take the micro sim out of my wife's iPhone her company provided for her here and put it inline
it finds the network straight away. From this im assuming it's not an issue like the
Phone being locked ( which it shouldn't be) but I'm puzzled as to what my next
Step should be. I read somewhere that a local version of iTunes will update the setting in my phone.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Yes, the cracked screen voids the warranty. Had you exchanged it when you first experienced the problems and before the screen cracked, then it would be covered under warranty and replaced for free.

Time machine backup files disappeared after moving from Osx 10.6 to 10.8.2 .

I had moved from a 6+ year old iMac to a new one with 10.8.2

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I don't think that they have disappeared. They are just "hidden" in your Time Machine drive because Time Machine detects your old backups as for a different Mac than the one you are using right now.
In order to see your old Time Machine backups, read > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html

Have you moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server

I am looking for people that have moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server...
Would you do it again ?
Did you save money ?
Were you using Zones to virutalize on Unix ?
Did you gain or loose overall Performance ?
Have you had to perform a recovery on SQL Server ?
Have you done a recovery in Oracle ?
Were you using Rman ?
Which worked better ?
We are going through an analysis of does it really make sense, save money and effect performance to move from a strong unix/oracle environment to a MS/SQL environment.

Hi,
All our R/3 legacy systems are Windows/Oracle.
All the new systems (BW, SRM, CRM, XI) are Windows/MSSQL.
It was an order from the management to make the switch because of the high prices of Oracle licences.
The official motto is now Oracle on Unix only and SQL server on Windows only.
We get the same level of performance as with Oracle, but we, old SAP Oracle grumpy admins, are much more comfortable with Oracle admin than SQL server admin.
imho, SQL server may seem simplier but it is much easier to look under the hood whith Oracle.
We have to reinvent the wheel and it's kind of frustrating but we will cope with it...
I would say that SQL server is not a good choice for BW usage because there is a lot more litterature on BW database optimisation for Oracle than MSSQL.
The official SAP class does not speak at all about SQL server but has several chapters on Oracle...
Regards,
Olivier

Oracle Report. Moving from NT to UNIX

We are transferring a small web enabled Oracle 9i application (Form 6 + Report 6) from NT to a UNIX Sun server.
The application runs, but the font being generated by Report has changed - larger and Bold - in parts of the reports. We were using Arial, various sizes. The changes are not consitent. Some sections of each report are OK. The problem relates to both text and data.
Any ideas ?

With some delving I have established that we need to be using the alias file UIFONT.ALI to define the font mapping.
Our Sun server does not include the Arial font. I have seen a number of references which highlight that Arial is NOT a good choice of font for an application which needs to be ported to UNIX. The recommendation seems to be MS Sans Serif on Windows, with a mapping to Helvetica on Motif.

Moving from Exchange 2007 to 2013 (leaving the DNS Server for it's own dedicated server)

Hello! I am quite new to Exchange and Server management in general. I will do my best to explain my situation.
I am looking to move my Exchange server off of our DNS server. When we installed them on the same server, we did not have the funds to buy 2 separate servers. I am told that it is best to separate the two. I have followed the Microsoft instructions for installing
the prerequisites for Exchange 2013 on a 2012 R2 server, and i am at the point where it wants me to configure AD LDS. As I have active directory running on the current server, I was a little hesitant to just install it without understanding what i am doing.
After the AD LDS is configured, I believe i can move forward with installing Exchange 2013 (all 3 roles will be hosted on the new server), export the mailboxes from 2007 server and import them into the new Exchange 2013 server. After 2013 is up and stable,
I plan on removing 2007 from the old server (DNS server).
What are my next steps after importing the mailboxes? Am i missing important details that I need to change or migrate?
My biggest fear is that nothing works after the installation and moving the mailboxes over. For that case, it makes sense to keep 2007 installed as a fallback for when my installation fails and all i have lost is just my time :)
Current Server:
Windows Server 2008 Standard (64 bit)
1. Roles: Active Directory, DNS, IIS
2. Software: Exchange 2007
New Server:
Windows 2012 R2 Server
1. Roles: ???
1. Software to install: Exchange 2013
Thank you for any help you can provide!

These are good resources, but i am still caught up with the active directory issue. Am I able to keep the old Domain/DNS/Active directory on it's current server and move Exchange 2007 off onto a new server (with Exchange 2013)?
In the first example, he is moving everything (domain controller, exchange, users, etc) onto a different server and decommissioning it.I've been told that it would be better practice to keep the domain and exchange on 2 different servers. Is this true?
I go to run commands like:
.\setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName: orgname /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
on the new exchange server, as a prerequisite and it doesnt recognize the command - even after following the steps before. Is this because the new server is not a domain controller? does it have to be? What are the best practices for setting up a server(s)
with exchange + domain controller?
Thanks for responding.

Form button does not work when a program is moved from Windows 8.2 to Windows 7

Hi,
I have a few Excel programs which use the ODBC to get data from Access and which have macros which writes data to an external program, MYOB.
When the macros tries to write the data to MYOB it fails if I am not running the program in administrator mode.   It seems that Windows 8.2 has a different level of security than Windows 7 and must be run in administrator mode for the ODBC to work.
I have had issues after running the program in administrator mode (testing) if I simply do a save (in administrator mode) and then send it to the customer.   The issue is that it just will not work on the customer's site.   I have gotten
around this in the past by saving any changes, going back out of excel, loading the program again (not in administrator mode) and saving it - before sending it to the customer.   This worked until now.
For some unknown reason, the last time I sent a program to the customer and carried out the above process, the program stopped working. Originally I thought that the macro just wouldn't work on windows 7, but eventually found that it is the form button
that will no longer work when the program is moved from 8.2 to 7.
Does anyone know why there is an incompatibility between 8.2 and Windows 7 and what I should be doing to ensure that my programs work in my customers environment(windows7)?
In the meanwhile, I have changed the form button to an activex button and the program works fine in both environments.
Thanking you in advance,

there is some OP report after Windows update Dec 2014 macro stop responding ( I cant confirm if this is also related to your issue) its because security update for Office maybe conflict with the active-x that you are installed
try to
Close Excel
Start Windows Explorer.
Select your system drive (usually C:)
Use the Search box to search for *.exd
Delete all the files it finds.
Start Excel again
Open that file and save it, and try open at Windows 7
to get more detail about this issue, I suggest also contact Office forum
this case also will be solve installing kb3025036
good luck

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write. Still, documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder on the server. Techies can't figure it out here. What am I not doing?

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.
