Moving to new server and from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3 at the same time

I have 2 11.2.0.1 databases running on windows server 2008, and am moving them to a VMware server running the same OS.
While I am doing this, I figure I may as well apply the 11.2.0.3 patch by installing it on the new server and upgrading the databases.
I've yet to do an "out of place" patch, so I'm assuming I can do the following:
Install 11.2.0.3 on the new server running the setup.exe -downloadUpdates command, copy backed up datafiles (from online or offiline backups) over from current prod databases, restore them with rebuild controlfile & open database, then shut down and do startup upgrade?
Or would it be a better practice to create the databases on the new server and just do full imports?
thanks in advance.

Thanks - since the first one I am moving over is a test database, I just created the instance on the new server, shutdown the source test database then copied sp & control files & datafile directory structure over with data files, and decided to try DBUA rather than startup upgrade. Right now it's about 1/2 way through the upgrade so we'll see how it goes.
For the production database I am going to first try my cloning technique then do a startup upgrade or use DBUA. What I'm thinking about doing is copying my last (user managed) online backup over (after creating the instance & directories), doing a startup no mount, rebuild the controlfile to reflect any changes, recover with backup controlfile & apply latest redo, open with resetlogs then shutdown and startup upgrade (or DBUA).
If that works well that's probably the way I'll do the actual production roll over this way, but leave it in recover mode until I shutdown the old database and apply the last redolog, then upgrade it.
I suppose that given these databases are relatively small I could also do the upgrade first then just drop the schemas with tables in them and do a schema level impdp.

  • I dropped my iPad mini on the floor, but it was not at all a big drop and landed firmly but the lightning cable inside my iPad cracked and from now on I have been using my sisters iPad charger(the same as old one) and now it take 4 hours to charge 8% HELP

    we are a creative design studio, we need to use apple mac pro server , so we can make more than a different user to use at the same time doing different activities, on different screens, is it possible?what is the max. no. of users that can work efficient.
    Appreciate your support and if possible , how to do this?

    If you want to work with Mac OS X, you need one computer per simultaneous user.
    What you are describing, " Multiple simultaneous logins to a single computer" is not avialable on a regular Mac of any description, unless you decide to use Unix tools instead of Mac OS X.
    Server will happily store files for many, many users and provide them to multiple (up to hundreds) of computers at "near hard Drive" speeds over Gigabit Ethernet. It can make the File Sharing part easy.

  • Moved to new server and needing help with feed

    My website www.gothamknightsonline.com has been moved to a new server and I am needing to keep the feed updated with new and old podcasts. I have reposted some of the old episodes as well as a new one I just posted. I have not been able to get the feed to show up. When I view our podcasts itunes page all of the info on each individual podcast is now gone with just the episodes listed and no more information.
    Here is the feed URL: http://gothamknightsonline.com/category/podcast/feed/ (I have verified the feed) but I am not certain if this is the same feed URL that was listed before. Either way the plugin i used for my podcasts in wordpress has this in the feed as well as our iTunes id and URL ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/batman-gotham-knights-online/id315370686)
    I am doing all of this on a Wordpress blog using the podpress plugin.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    iTunes is looking for a feed at http://www.gothamknightsonline.com/feed/?cat=10 and not finding it - checking this I don't get 'file not found' but if there is a file there it contains no data whatever.
    I assume this is your original feed URL. The method for redirecting iTunes to another feed URL involves placing a special tag in the original feed, and is described in detail here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    Your new feed contains this tag (effectively redirecting to itself); you need to place a copy of the feed, with the redirect tag, at the original URL and leave it there for a couple of weeks. If you are unable to do this the two alternatives are described in my article.

  • Streaming from ipod/ipad to ATV2 interrupted when using other apps at the same time.

    Hi.  I have an Apple TV2, ipad1 and ipod touch4.  I am having trouble with music streaming to the ATV2.  I can select a song on the ipad/itouch and stream it to the ATV2 no problem using airplay.  However, if I then try to surf the net on the ipad/itouch or use any other app at the same time as listening to the music, the music hiccups.  It seems to me like the ipad/itouch need to use the wifi network at the same time and so they take over the signal momentarily.  Any ideas what I can do about this?  My wireless router is a dual band 2.4 and 5 mhz gigabit router that is brand new and should not have any problems.
    Thanks
    Julia

    Ferrell, I have done what you suggested. I clicked onto the Spaces icon in the upper control panel and assigned spaces to six apps: Mail, Safari, iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, and iWeb.
    The problem is that if I am one app and I want to put something into that app, then the minute my mouse cursor goes to get that other thing, the original application into which I want the thing put GETS WHOOSHED OFF THE DESKTOP. What I want is for the original app to remain open whilst I go to retrieve a file or folder, and stay open while I put that thing into the original app.
    How does one turn off Spaces? I don't mean to delete all the names from the settings.I mean, just turn it off for a while so I can do something which requires for two apps to be open at the same time????

  • How to remove "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading" message bar at top. It appeared at the same time I lost local news on my homepage. Neither Tools or Preferences seem to have a solution. Any suggestions?

    Firefox 3.6.15, Mac OS X
    There's no "options" setting in Tools.

    Do you know if that then allows the page to automatically reload or does that just get rid of the message? Thanks!

  • Acquiring data from daq-pad and saving video at the same time

    I am trying to record data from my daq-pad at 100 samples per second. At the same time I am using a usb interfaced camera to record a video feed. The idea is that when i begin recording data i also begin recording the video feed.
    The way I record the video  feed works fine in its own VI (I need it to record at 30fps and it does this just fine). But when I integrate it with the data record/capture VI the framing rate slows down to only 10 fps. I suspect this is because the VI  gets caught capturing the data from the daq-pad thus slowing down its ability to record the video feed. I was hoping you could give me some help with how to record the data at 100 samples per second and get the VI to capture 30 frames per second. Thanks in advance for anyone who helps out.
    I've attached the VI that has both the data capture and the video capture already integrated.

    Hi,
    I took a look at your code and the problem is that you have both the data acquistion and the image acquistion in the same loop.  Have you tried using parellel loops?  There is more information about this in the labview tutorials that are available online if you are unsure how to do that.  The problem is that you are doing a lot of things in that loop (acquiring data, doing some analysis, and writing to file), so you can't acquire images very fast because it depends on the speed of the loop iteration.  I hope this helps.
    Have a great day,

  • Enter at the same time Hour and Daily wage

    Hi friends,
    in my project I had some human resources (working on different tasks), and I need to enter for them a standard rate but at the same time a daily rate (Imagine they're working abroad, so I pay their job but also a fixed rate for every day spent abroad ). 
    How enter these two kinds of wages?
    The resource, in the same same day, might be employed in more tasks.
    I would like to avoid the duplication of the "abroad wage" if the resource is employed in two tasks in the same day.
    Thank you!!

    Nico,
    I have yet another solution. Some months ago another user wanted to know how to make Project calculate cost based on a day rate rather than the default hourly rate. I developed a macro to do that. It puts the day rate cost into the Cost1 field. So....if
    you use the normal hourly rate to cost out the job and then run the macro, you can combine the two cost totals. Herewith is the macro (it may need some tweaking for your needs):
    'This macro calculates cost based on a day rate and puts it into Cost1
    '   part days (e.g. 4h) are treated a full days
    '   It does NOT account for a resource who works one task for 4h and then another
    '   task for 4h. He/She will accrue cost for 2 full days, one on each task
    '   Kosher? No, not in my mind, but that's the ways it's done in some regions
    Sub DayTripper()
    Dim t As Task
    Dim a As Assignment
    Dim r As Resource
    Dim NumDa As Integer
    Dim MPD As Single, PartDa As Single, PR As Single
    Dim RR As String
    Dim aSt As Date
    MPD = ActiveProject.HoursPerDay * 60
    For Each r In ActiveProject.Resources
        RR = r.PayRates(1).StandardRate
        PR = CSng(Mid(RR, 2, InStr(1, RR, "/") - 2))
        For Each a In r.Assignments
            If DateValue(a.Start) <> aSt Then
                NumDa = CInt(a.Work / MPD)
                PartDa = CDec(a.Work / MPD) - NumDa
                If PartDa > 0 Then NumDa = NumDa + 1
                a.Cost1 = NumDa * PR
                aSt = DateValue(a.Start)
            End If
        Next a
        aSt = DateValue("12:00:00 AM")
    Next r
    End Sub
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I use my New Imac as a server and a workstation/client at the same time ?

    I havea  brand new (2 months Old) Imac - 4 Gig, fully loaded and want to use it as a server using lion server app.  I want to use it for ical server, Addressbook and fileshareing with a bit more security.  I dont want to buy a new computer, just use the existing one to do these services.  At the same time, I want to still use this computer for my regular work. 
    There will be a few users with low traffic.  At the beggining, there will be only 1 other user for the calander, addressbook and file server.  Later it might grow to 4.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated !!!
    PS - Any advice on how to set this up or tricks would be appreciated
    Thanks Again

    great Idea !!  Lets assume I dont want to go virtual - what is your thought on that ?
    Lion Server is a "layer" on top of client. The services run in the background and do consume resources like the RAM, CPU, and HD, while you're using the computer as a client. That said, when running a VM with say VMWare Fusion you dedicate Cores and RAM to VM, even if the VM doesn't need all the CPU horsepower or RAM for your server tasks. So it may be that running a full blown Lion Server as VM along side client is more resource intensive on your computer than just running Lion Server while also using it as a workstation.

  • Installing contact center enterprise 6.0 in new server and upgrading to 7.0

    Hi,
    I am trying to install contact center enterprise 6.0 into a new server ( earlier both call manage 4.3  and enterprise 6.0 were in the same BOX). So now i am upgrading cucm4.3 to 7.0 and installing enterprise 6.0 onto a new server taking backup from the old server and restoring in the new server. and after that i am planning to upgrade the Enterprise version to 7.0. Is this the right way or there is any other way.

    Take a look at the 7.0 Upgrade Guide for your options. You'll be looking for Tech Refresh.

    Is there any reason why you are not upgrading to UCCE 7.5 which is compatible with UCM 7.0?

  • HT204350 I,m going to change my Mac mini server and time capsule at the same time what's the best way to transfer from both of my old machines

    I've just purchased a new Mac mini server and also a new time capsule is there any easy way to ghost or transfer the new machines at the same time or is it best to do one at a time?

    I have no direct experience transferring a TC and computer at the same time, but prudence tells me to do one, test to be sure it is correct only then do the other. It will take twice as long from process start to finish, but avoids any nasty surprises at process end. In close to 40 years experience, I have never seen a "crash conversion" (everything at the same time) that did not have at least one major disaster. I am sure it can happen but the odds are heavily against it. Patience is a virtue!

  • Rebuilding a total new server and migrate WS 2012 R2 Essentials

    I want to build a whole new Server system , from AMD to Intel, motherboard, CPU and some HDD's.
    What kind of trouble will I get to do this? And how about my license key?
    Will I loose that as well? Is it possible to migrate most of my software?
    Regards, Martin

    If it was me, I would just make a backup of my old box to a USB drive using windows server backup and restore it to my new box.  2012 and up is very hardware forgiving.  Cost you nothing to try it and the original server is still original if
    it does not work.  You will probably have to activate windows again.

  • Moving apps, their data from one ipad to another AND changing/deleting at the same time!

    Hi,
    I would like to get ready for my new iPad. Over time I have accumalated a LOT of Apps which I don't use or  would like to organize differently.
    Others (games or internal documents/settings) I would like to leave intact. Is there a way to choose what to import and maybe already pre-sort?
    I know of the restore feature from a specific backup (used that in the past) that DOES keep the data intact but does not allow for my organizing/spring cleaning scenario...
    I was thinking directly of the new Apple configurator tool. I could import my iPad profile, and based on that choose apps to keep (and their data) or delete in a first step. Even better would be if I could then group them in folders or screens BEFORE I sync this new profile to my new iPad.
    This would also be ideal to manage backups and different setups for family members when we do the family shuffle.. I upgrade, hand my old device to my better half, she hands her to X family member etc., etc.
    My issue is that the help menu of the configurator toll indicates it works only for volume bought applications. Is this right? Why the restriction?
    Main concern of course is not installing the application on a specific device BUT to copy the app (AND internal data) exactly to another one!
    I'm surprised that Apple hasn't adressed these issues better but maybe they did with this new tool (or another way) and I just don't see/understand it.
    Thanks for any and all input,
    Philly

    Thanks Rudegar
    My problem is a little different. I would like to selectively sync apps and maybe change/add/delete folders and app screens.
    I know how to "clone/restore" the iPad. I was hoping that I could maybe use the Apple confugurator for this purpose and customize my apps based on an import from the old iPad. As such weeding out old apps and not having to use the cumbersome iTunes method but at the same time protecting my backed up data.
    It could also simplify data transfer if I could create multiple profiles/people from which I can choose who to sync/transfer to a specific iDevice.
    But thanks for taking your time and providing a solution to transfer all files from one device to another.

  • My computer broke and I lost my ipod touch at the same time. Then I put all of my new music on my nano. Then I found my ipod touch. How do I get the music from the ipod touch to the computer and also keep the music I bought for the nano?

    I have an ipod touch and an ipod nano. I also used to have a laptop but, it quit working and I no longer have it. I had all of my music on my laptop. So, I had to buy a new desktop. I lost my ipod touch at around the same time. I had all of my music on the ipod touch that was from my laptop. So in thye meantime I started using my nano more. I bought new songs on my desktop for my nano. Then I found my ipod touch. I would like to be able to keep both the somgs I have now on my ipod touch and the ones that I already bought on the desktop. What do I do?

    No.
    All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
    When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
    The same applies here.
