Moving system to new hardware with Windows Virtual Host Name

I am building a new system using note "1564276 - How to install An SAP System on Windows using Virtual Host Names" because I have read that it will be easier to move to new hardware in the future. How is it easier and what would the process be? I can't get my mind around how I move to new hardware without re-installing.

Hi Mary,
If you follow SAP tools and guidelines it is supported for Production environment as well.
For eg: Using SAP LVM tool we can create clones of systems which are supported using this tool.
1709155 - System Provisioning with SAP Landscape Virtualization Management
1767253 - SAP's recommended approach to system copy
In case you are not licensed for LVM tool, suggestion here would be to perform a PoC which covers
- Creating clone of Production
- Isolate the PRoduction clone by removing DNS entries
- Test the Production clone
- Roll out solution to final migration.
Note: In case you have a JAVA stack system above approach may not help. In that case you may need to go with R3load export/import option and then move the virtual hostname to the new hardware.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Deepak Kori

Migrating desktop from old Windows XP Pro system to new laptop with Windows 7

I have been happily running Palm desktop software 4.2.0 w/ HotSync 6.0.1 for a long time on an old system with XP Pro. Now I need to move everything over to a new laptop that has Windows 7.
Bluetooth is available if I want it but don't know how to decide. I've been happy with the cradle that has the USB connection and charge power.
So my question is how to set up on the new machine while retaining all my data and information (contacts, appointments, bookmarks, etc.) that I have now.
Should I download new versions of software etc?
Any advice will be much appreciated!
Post relates to: Palm TX

Please look at this link: http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&thread.id=53678
During the setup of Palm Desktop enter a username of 'test'. This way when you hotsync it will pull your data down to the PC.

HOW TO DEFINE VIRTUAL HOST NAME IN HPIA64 + SAP R/3 ENTERPRISES 4.7

Hi all,
I am trying to install sap r/3 enterprises 4.7 with OS as HP-UX and Database as Oracle in a cluster environment.
In cluster environment sap installation should be done on virtual hostname ( package id ). I'm using the env variable SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<VIRTUAL HOSTNAME>.
My cluster is running and I'm able to ping it from network, but at the time of SAP Installation my sapinst starts with the physical host name not with the virtual host name.
What can be the solution ..?
Thanks,
Chandresh Pranami.

Hi Chandresh,
Try executing sapinst with virtual hostname.
eg. ./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<VIRTUAL HOSTNAME>.
This should work.

Hard drive died. Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system, Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

Hard drive died. Cannot uninstall CS3 to remove copy registration. Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system, Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

Thank you Bob.
Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow? Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
Thanks

How do I move all my settings from my old computer with Vista to a New one with Windows 7 ? I'm using V. 14.0.1 on both Systems

Hello All,
How do I move all my Settings & Bookmarks from my 5 year old Computer running Vista and Firefox V. 14.0.1 , to my New Computer with Windows 7 and also Firefox 14.0.1 ?
Thank you very much.

You can copy your Firefox profile from one computer to the other and continue working with almost no changes :)
[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
A really easy way to do this is the following:
#Click the Start button, type %APPDATA% into the search bar, press Enter (on your old PC)
#Right click on the Mozilla folder, copy to a thumb drive (or something you can use to transfer it to your new PC)
#Go to %APPDATA% the same way on your new computer
#If the Mozilla folder already exists, I'd either delete it or rename it
#Paste the Mozilla folder into the same place on your new PC
#then upgrade to Firefox 15
You can also use Firefox Sync. [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]

I have the silver apple tv. I just purchased a new computer with Windows 7. Is there any way to make the 2 compatable?

I have a silver Apple TV. I just purchased a new PC with Windows 7 on it. Now my apple tv won't communicate with the new PC. Is there any way to fix this or will it only work with systems up to Windows Vista?? Please help.

I seem to be stalking you tonight AC
Or vice versa ;-)
I'm actually quite peeved about all this iCloud stuff, shafting of MobileMe members with no clarity about long term availability of features many pay for above and beyond e-mail/contacts/calendars (my family pack renewed a couple of weeks ago, this is just like the .Mac transition debacle), US only rollouts of redownloading music purchases to iTunes (like the AppleTV global content apartheid we see), continual need to upgrade to latest hardware to run iOS 4/5, older pre Core 2 Duo machine unable to run Lion.......there's a pattern and I'm getting rather fed up with Apple dumping support for things.
Oh and while I'm at it how about the situation that those who've purchased using multiple Apple IDs cannot use the Cloud for more than one ID at a time, and changing disables the ability to change back for 90 days - I'm not one but there are many users who have more than one ID because they've changed e-mail addresses or have devices used by more than one family member.
With all the hoo-hah surrounding Sony getting hacked, I'm not honestly sure I want my stuff in the Cloud for Apple or anyone else to peruse.

Migration of BW system to New Hardware and Upgrade to NW04s

Hi,
I'm not sure this is the forum for this post but here goes...
We have recently started a project to migrate our current BW3.5 system to new hardware (HP Superdome) and then upgrade to NetWeaver 2004s.
To do this, we've taken a copy of our current Dev 3.5 system and moved it to the new hardware and will unicode and upgrade to NW04s. Once this is complete, we plan to install NEW instances of QA and Prod with NW04s. We will TRANSPORT all our configuration and reload all the providers in QA and Prod. This will be a MASSIVE task as we have hundreds of infoproviders. Additionally, I'm concerned we will not pick objects currently in 3.5 Prod system (e.g. custom queries/workbooks, infopkgs, process chains, variables, etc.) but not in current 3.5 Dev system.
My question is this - can we instead take copies of the current QA and Prod (3.5) systems and migrate, unicode, and upgrade in the new Superdome hardware. Per Basis, this is NOT possible due to the size of the current systems - approx 2.5 Terabytes. But maybe half of the database is consumed by old PSA's, unused providers, etc. If we were to clean up our current system and do a database reorg to reduce the database size, is it possible to do a system copy (Dev to Dev, QA to QA, Prod to Prod) --> any help/insight is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Senthil

I had this experience in my previous project and i wanna share a with you. we have migrated our total bw landscape from alfa servers to HP superdome servers.
we took all the copies of all the boxes( dev,QA,PRO) and migrate to superdome and upgrade to NW04. but in your case you are not taking copies QA and PRODUCTION. This is not realistic scenario. you got to move all the objects and configuration from dev to respective systems and load the data in the production.
so you have to take all the copies of all the boxes and migrate to superdome and upgrage to NE04, is the right way of doing.

HT2305 I have a new computer with Windows 8 OS. Do I need to install drivers so that my Ipod Nano will sync with this new computer:

My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas. I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one. However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13. Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely. I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw).
Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod. I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer. I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not. I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour. He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck!
Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8. I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums. So...my question is: Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what? I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved. Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPad to your computer -
A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.
Also see here as to moving your music to your new computer -

I have downloaded the most recent itunes on my new computer with windows 8 but a message pops up saying "the itunes library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file. How do I fix?

I have downloaded the most recent itunes on my new computer with windows 8 but when I attempt to get in I get this message "The itunes library.itl file is locked, ona locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." How do i fix this?

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

Trying to nstall Photoshop CS2 on a new PC with Windows 8.1? Adobe uploaded me a version that doesn't require activation, but it doesn't work!

Trying to Install Photoshop CS2, which I bought several years ago, on a new computer with Windows 8.1? Adobe uploaded me a version that it says doesn't require activation, but it doesn't work!

Your advice to use the serial number provided by Adobe is right on point.
The only thing special I've done that's not typical is that I have UAC disabled, which does serve to make a system more compatible with older software (and with old geeks like me who prefer to be full-time admins).
When I installed Photoshop CS2, it just went in and worked. I didn't think twice about it.

How can I install Photoshop Elements 11 on a new computer with Windows 8?

How can I install Photoshop Elements 11 on my new computer with Windows 8?

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.
