Migrate Rpd Catalog and User ,Groups from OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0 to 11.1.1.5.0

hi Guys,
I have got a setup of OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0 on windows 32bit machine and now i am planning to have a setup of 11.1.1.5.0 on windows 64 bit machine.
please tell me the Detailed steps for Migrating the Rpd Catalog and User ,Groups from OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0 to 11.1.1.5.0
Like
1. Do i have to copy the RPD and Catalog Directly to 1.5 or some Upgrade Assistance is to be done
2. If i am Using the Export Provided in the myrelam ( in 1.3) and taking it to obiee 1.5 (as it already contains some inbuilt policies and groups) does it going to give me error

Check the Oracle reference I have provided earlier. Concept goes like this:
Important difference is that upgrading from 10g to 11g is called an "out-of-place upgrade" while upgrading to another 11g is called an "in-place upgrade," because the upgrade operates on existing files. Moving from one 11g release to another 11g release is sometimes referred to as "patching."

Follow patching and not out-of-place upgrade as you are required to upgrade component

Hope this is clear now

Moving LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?

I moved LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?
The meta data for each image is missing.
I have over 2,000 images. I don't want to go back through each image and add meta data.
Is there some way to move everything?

No, do not re-import your images. I assume you can see the thumbnails in the library module, just cannot access the full images, right? If this is the case there should be an exclamation mark in the top right corner of every one of your pictures and you only have to tell LR where the images are now.
Click the exclamation mark of one of the images and a dialog window should pop-up, telling you that LR cannot find the file, but with an option to locate it. Press "Locate" and navigate to the folder on your new HD where the file is. If in the new external HD you kept the same folder structure that you had on the internal disk, LR will be able to find all your images and re-link them to the database without further intervention.

Unable to Edit Dashboard as Administrator (Merged RPD/Catalog)

Hi,
I am having trouble editing a dashboard that another developer created that was merged into our main RPD/Catalog.
It is one subject area (same DB schema), and one presentation catalog folder. I copied the RPD objects into our main RPD, copied the folder and *.atr file into the main Catalog.
When I log into answers, all of the newly added dashboards show up properly. However, if I click on Page Options, I have no link to Edit Dashboard - even logged in as Administrator. If I go to Manage Presentation Catalog, this folder does not have a security lock (permissions) icon next to it. If I go to Manage Interactive Dashboards, the place where permissions icon normally is shows a red cross instead.
I checked the OS level permissions for the catalog files to make sure they look the same as other dashboard/report files.
Any ideas on this?

1.Stop the Presentation Server.
2.Backup the instanceconfig.xml file at [middleware_home]/instances/instance1/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/instanceconfig.xml
3.Under the 'Catalog' section, add the 'Recover' tag. For Example:
<Catalog>
<UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit>
<UpdateAccountGUIDs>Recover</UpdateAccountGUIDs>
</Catalog>
4.Start the Presentation Server. It will perform a recovery and then after some time shutdown.
5.Remove the tag.
6.Start the Presentation Server again
Hope this helps. Let us know if you still have issues.
Thanks,
SVS

Moving My Catalog PSE 13

Ok I hope someone can assist me. So I used the Move/Copy to another drive I moved all of my pictures using this command and now I have a mess. I use to have all of pictures neatly tucked away in individual folders. I needed to free up some space on my hard drive. Now all of my photos or at least most of them moved to the external hard drive but now I don't have any folders and there still are many pictures still remaining on Hard Drive. To make matters worse I thought I would do a back to the same external drive but I forgot to make a separate folder and now I have a mess. If anyone has a solution for this it would be greatly appreciated.

The command 'Copy/move' is similar the 'Export' command. It works on individual files, not on folder trees or branches. The result always gets into the folder you have chosen.
What you want to do is to 'move' a folder tree or a part of it to another location. It's not moving the catalog (the database where the details and location on the drive of the pictures are kept) it's moving the pictures themselves while keeping their structure in the Explorer/Finder. I'd call that moving a 'library' or part of a library.
Keep in mind that 'moving' is only an image, a metaphor in computer language. You really first Copy something somewhere, then you Delete the original files.
How to do this library move ? If you do it from the Explorer/Finder by drag and drop or the menu, that seems easy, but the catalog is not updated, so you'll have to 'reconnect' your files. If you do it by small batches, that can work well.
It's recommended to do it from the Organizer itself. In the left folders panel, depending on the Elements version, you show the folder tree just like in the explorer/finder. You drag and drop, and the Organizer updates the path for the files in the catalog database.

To make matters worse I thought I would do a back to the same external drive but I forgot to make a separate folder and now I have a mess. If anyone has a solution for this it would be greatly appreciated.
You should deal with that problem first. Your backup has stored a number of copies of your files in a wrong folder, and you want to delete them. Most of those files begin by B00... It's relatively easy to find them and to delete them. That should recover most of the space on your drive.
The problem you have left now is that you have lost your folder tree structure. If you had no backup, there is no way to restore it exactly. It's possible to use other data in the catalog to create a new folder structure based on dates (recorded from exif in the picture files), on albums or themes like events or places. You select pictures corresponding to a specific empty folder and you move them there.
My advice is to keep the new structure simple since that does not add any advantage to using the catalog and its virtual organization of categories and keywords.

Moving entire catalog to bigger external drive

...or any different drive external or internal...
A friend just had major problems moving his v3 files. He had one top folder for all Lightroom. He keeps his catalog and photos on an external and now needs to increase the capacity of the external. So he copied them over in Windows with the entire Lightroom folder remaining intact, and reassigned the old drive letter to the new external hard drive, so the path to all photos is preserved.
However, everyhting shows up Missing. "Find this folder" doesn't work. You navigate to the new location but it's not clear what exactly you "do" to relink. Clicking the name of the lost folder in the resulting dialog box (new-but-named-the-same-as-old-drive) didn't cange anthong back at the Library display of that folder..
I know I -- myself -- will be moving to a new internal drive from the one currently storing my photos in the near future. So his problem is relavant to the hassle i can expect.
What step was missing?

A better way would have been:
Move the entire folder (you call it the Lightroom folder) with all sub-folders and all images to the new external drive. Do this move in your OS (Win Explorer / Mac Finder).
Do not change any folder names or the folder structure at this point. Do not assign a different drive letter at this point.
Open Lr, right-click the folder (i.e. the Lightroom folder) and select <Find Missing Folder>. Navigate to the folder on the new drive and select it.
You wrote: "You navigate to the new location but it's not clear what exactly you "do" to re-link. Clicking the name of the lost folder in the resulting dialog box (new-but-named-the-same-as-old-drive) didn't change anything back at the Library display of that folder.."
This should work - normally. I suspect that something went wrong when your friend assigned the old drive letter to the new external hard drive.
Check in Control Panel >System and Security >Administrative Tools >Computer Management >Disk Management what the actual situation regarding the drive letters is.

Moving pictures & catalog to newly installed second hard drive

Hi!
I just checked John's file (http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1) on moving files. My friend, a real non-technical guy, had a second drive installed on his computer. Up to now he only had one physical drive with C: and D: logical drives. All his pictures are sitting on the D: drive and there is nothing else on that drive.
I am supporting him remotely in Vancouver, BC from Austria (with logmein.com).
The new drive, 500 GB, is formatted and the chap installing it gave it the drive letter J:
My questions:
1) I change the drive letter D: to say X:, change the new drive's letter to D: and then do a disk copy from from X: to D: will this work?
2) Have my friend do a normal backup to his external USB drive and then do a restore with "Restore to original folder location" to the new J: drive and he uses from now on J: drive. Check that the Preferences are set correctly.
3) Simply move with Organizer all files to the new J: drive, leaving the catalog on the D: drive.
4) Any other good ideas? My friend has about 9,000 pictures on the file, probably quite a few disconnected ones.
Thanks and have a nice day!

(Waiting for October 9th and PSE 8 as announced on Amazon. Surely John you soon will have another long list of items to add to your index! GGGGG!)

Alexander,
Using Display > Folder Location view to move the photo folders is the most straightforward way of moving the photos to a new drive, as described in the FAQ you referenced:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos
The question remains of what to do with the catalog folder:
1. Is it on the C drive (where it usually resides) or the D drive?
2. If it's on the C drive, there's no harm in leaving it there -- it uses relatively little space.
3. If it's on the D drive, and your friend doesn't mind leaving it there, then leave it there.
4. If your friend really wants to move it from the D drive (e.g. so he can free up that drive and use some partitioning tool to merge D back into C), then he'll need to move the catalog folder:
a. If he's on PSE 7, he can safely move the catalog folder using File > Catalog > Move.
b. If he's on PSE 6 and he doesn't have any projects (e.g. slideshows) or files archived to DVD/CD, he can safely move the catalog folder using File > Catalog > Move.
c. Otherwise, he'll have to use the backup/restore method (rather than Display > Folder Location view) to get the catalog folder moved along with the photos to the J drive.

Moving LR catalog to external hard drive

I am new and in the process of learning LR. Currently all my photos are stored and developed in my laptop, however it is getting too much for its hard drive. I am thinkinng of moving the entire LR catalog to an external harddrive. Would someone please give me some advice how to do this safely and also how to point the LR to its new location when I open it from the icon.
Thanks much.

Please note:
When we talk of the "catalog" in Lightroom, it means the database where Lr stores everything. It does not mean your photos.
The catalog (i.e. the database, i.e. the file with the ending < .lrcat>) does not have to be on the same drive where the photos(the image files) are.
So you can move your photos to an external hard drive and leave the catalog where it is now. Where is it? Go >Edit >Catalog Settings ? General tab. It tells you the name and location of the catalog.
Before you do any moving of your photos, please note: Lr stores - among the many other things - in its catalog also the location of each one of your image files. This has the consequence that if you move the image files in Win Explorer / Mac Finder Lr does not find the photos in the location stored in the catalog and sends you the much feared "?". How to solve this, see here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS3BC0B0A1-D48C-4271-891D-DA04EF388E29.html
So, there are two ways to move your photos to an external drive:
a) do it within Lr and Lr will keep on top of the moved files;
b) If you want to move the image files in Win Explorer / Mac Finder it is best you create one (1) parent folder that contains - in various sub-folders - all of your images. Do this in Lr.
Then - in Win Explorer / Mac Finder - you move the parent folder with all its sub-folders to the external drive. When you open Lr again it will show - in the folders panel - a question mark besides each folder. You then have to do the <Find missing folder> routine:
Locate missing folders
If a folder is moved in the operating system instead of in Lightroom, the link between the catalog and the folder breaks, and a question-mark icon appears on the folder in the Folders panel.
To restore the link, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) on the folder and choose Find Missing Folder from the context menu.
Navigate to the file path of the moved folder and click Choose.

Moving LR catalog ( ie . ircat files ) and the real photographs to a new drive , can you do this in LR ? or seperatly and which do I do first ?

I want to get everything off my hard drive and work in catalogs on an external drive but I need all my older photos moved too .

You move your catalog file using your operating system. Move it to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it. Please understand that your catalog file ought to reside on your fastest disk; if you move it to an external drive you may notice slower performance.
You move your photos via this procedure: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
It doesn't matter what order you do it in
You used the phrase "work in catalogs" (plural), may I recommend that you work with a single catalog, there are usually plenty of advantages to using a single catalog, and no real disadvantages

Script/Procedure to Deploy RPD & Catalog

Hi,
Am looking to find ways to "Automized" the deployment of 'RPD' as well as 'Catalog' in OBIEE 11G, would like to know if any one has tried it?
Is there a way, to create a Batch, Ant Script, which will make the necessary changes?
Regards,
Jitendra
PS: Am aware of the process of deployment through Weblogic Consol, but looking forward to explore the opprotunity to automize this process as well.

Hi,
I have not tried it yet, but you could have a look into the Oracle Weblogic Scripting Tool (WLST); http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/getting_started.htm#CIHEHDIF

Moving a catalog from old computer to the new one.

The old computer (32 bit) has PSE 9 and the new one (64 bit) PSE 11. The Folders holding the photos will be on a data drive having the same letter as the old computer (both have separate dirves for data). So the adresses of the phots will be the same.
How do I move the catalog, which I think is on the "C" drive in the old computer, to the new computer and convert it to PSE format. Could I move a backup of the catalog to the new computer and then restore it to PSE 11? One problem is that I am not sure which one of the several "catalogs" on the old "C" drive is the right one. [None of those are backups since I always stored the backups on another drive]. How do I tell?
Any help will be appreciated.

Good. PSE11 is a 32 bits application and will be installed as such in the new computer.
The Folders holding the photos will be on a data drive having the same letter as the old computer (both have separate dirves for data). So the adresses of the phots will be the same.
If the data drives on both computers are internal (not a unique external drive alternatively plugged in) you are wrong. The drives are recognized not only by letter drive but also by serial number.

Since you have the backups on another drive (I suppose they were made from the Organizer, not from another external software), you should simply do a restore to 'custom location' in the new computer. In a first step, that will restore the pictures folder tree, in a second one it will convert the catalog.
If you want to move the catalog, it will be harder:
- locate the folder with your catalog. Each catalog is in its own folder named from the catalog title. You should copy the whole folder with its files and subfolders to the new catalog, preferably in a different folder tree than your pictures folder tree.
- In the Organizer, you should convert it from the catalog manager
Now, how to resolve the problem of the data drive different serial numbers ? Three different ways :
1 - Use the 'reconnect missing files' feature. Its now easier with PSE11
2 - In Windows, reassign the same serial number to the drive. Some reading from John R Ellis :
( http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/#_Detecting_Problems_with )
3 - use a sqlite database tool to manually change the serial number in the media_table of the new catalog.
You can see why using the backup / restore process is much simpler and safer.

Moving web catalog from Windows to AIX

We have Oracle BI 10g installed on MS Windows Server 2003 and AIX 5.3. After copying web catalog from Windows to AIX we can see Dasboard pages, but drill down crashes Presentation server.
Web catalog created on AIX works perfectly. Does anybody know how to move web catalog from Windows to AIX?

Moving Pictures & Catalog to External USB HD (5.0)

This is part of a post by Ward Grant re: Moving your files to external HDs.
"If you use the File/Move Burn command, it physically moves the image from your hard drive to your external hard drive, makes a proxy file and assigns that hard drive an identifier."
My question is:
(WXP SP2 PSE 5.0)
How do I get this to work? On mine, it is greyed out.
I assume it wants me to tell it what & where, but How? The Help Menu is of no help!
Also, are the files that are 'moved' really moved (as in no longer on internal HD?) I have some pictures on HD that have not been brought into the Organizer yet, so I need to be able to differentiate them. Also I need to do this to free up internal HD space. What about files that were backed/up to CD's when I had PSE 3? I have the CD's & don't use the pix very often, but it would be a mess to go back to get them all 'online'.
Also, I am not able to do Incremental back/ups. It lets me go thru all the steps, then at the last step, will go no farther. I have been just doing Full b/u's and then going back and deleting the previous one. It is cumbersome, but at least works!
An unrelated question, but have not seen an answer to is:
What is the difference between Unsharp Mask and Adjusting Sharpness in PSE 5? I am used to the Unsharp Mask, but don't see any advantage to the other. Is there any difference, or just another tool to do the same thing?
Any & all input is appreciated!
Thanks
Irma

Upgrading and moving a catalog

I have Photoshop Elements 11 on my old computer with a catalog with many tags. I bought a new machine and loaded Photoshop Elements 12. I then backed up my Elements 11 catalog using Full backup. Then went to new machine and restored. All my pictures transferred and file structure was as expected. But only some, seemingly random, tags came through. Also many edited pics are now showing as two or more separate files and not as versions. None of my albums were restored. More than anything I need the tags! What happened? Can anyone help?

I did as you suggested and all looked good on old computer. Installed PSE12 on new and restored. Same result. All pictures, all captions but only a few tags. And to make matters worse some random date/time errors that mixes up my files....a real mess. The only good part is that I got the files. Not at all sure of next steps. Thinking of installing PSE11 on new and see what happens if I restore the PSE backup created with that version...very time consuming though

Moving Photoshop catalog from PC to Mac - stalls at 'backup catalog step' - just keeps spinning with no action

I am attempting to move all my Photoshop Elements catalogs from an old PC to a new Mac; followed the online instructions and made good progress converting catalogs to Elements 12 (from 6) until I got to the step of 'backing up catalogs so I can load them on an external heard drive. That's where Photoshop stalls - just spins and no action. Any idea how to complete this so I don't lose all those catalogs in the transition?

stop the backup and try repairing and optimizing the catalog in the catalog manager (file>manage catalogs)
