Multiple versions on one box

Hi
Could someone help me with the below questions.
We have multiple MaxDB databases running on one box for EC and BW. There is a requirement to upgrade the BW database software, to do this do I have to upgrade the other databases on the box? Though my OS is Linux, I would also like to know the possibilities in windows environement.
If we can have multiple versions of databases on one box, are there any known problems. If the database version are different, how does the common services or executables work (eg:- I understand that there is only on XSERVER per box) and which folders are updated (is it only "database_dependent_path" or "independent_program_path" as well)?
Please advise
Thanks

Hi,
1. "Do I have to upgrade the other databases on the box?" -- It depends on your software and instance setup. If the multiple instances are installed under different directories. For e.g., the two instances 773 and 763 are installed under different directories on my PC:
> dbmcli db_enum
773     C:\sapdb\773\db                         7.7.03.16       fast    running
763     C:\sapdb\763\db                         7.6.03.06       fast    offline
> dbmcli inst_enum
7.7.03.16    C:\sapdb\773\db
7.6.03.06    C:\sapdb\763\db
If the EC and BW instances are installed under different directories, you can upgrade them independently of each other. This behavior is similar on all OS.
2. There are no known problems running multiple versions of databases on one box. When you update one instance, the database_dependent_path is updated. If the independent_program_path contains programs of an older version or build, it is updated as well.
Hope this helps,
Ashwath

Multiple versions on one computer?

Hi!
I am a new Macbook user that I bought to start developing Mac software.
I would like to use multiple versions of Mac OS X on my macbook if possible.
Can this be done so that I would have 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 of Mac OS X installed and select the version on boot.
Thank you!

Just to build on what TP has mentioned... the reason for this is that older versions of OS X are never updated for newer hardware. As all Macs ship with the most current OS on them, there is never a need to update previous versions of the OS. There have been a number of significant hardware updates since 10.3 (I don't believe any version of 10.3 was ever released for the Intel Macs). If you had an older MacBook that came with 10.4, you could get away with installing both 10.4 (using the version it shipped with) and 10.5. If you have a more current MacBook, 10.5 is pretty much your only choice.

I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?

I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?
In the previous versions of Firefox when you went to you Bookmarks menu it gave you the options to either Bookmark This Page 'command' + 'D', Subscribe to this Page, Bookmark All Tabs 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'D', and Organize Bookmarks 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'B' however in the newest version of Firefox there is no Bookmark All Tabs so you can bookmark all the tabs that you have up in one window at a time. So I need to know if it is possible that the feature is now in a different place, is gone altogether, or if you can get that feature another way?
For me personally and my work I go through hundreds of web pages a day and save around half of those so it is imperative that I be able to bookmark more then one tab at a time because I can't be bothered to bookmark every single page separately and then go through hundreds of tabs in my Unsorted bookmarks in order to sort those bookmarks. It is simple inconvenient to sort every bookmark individually that is why the previous version of Firefox with the Bookmark All Tabs button was superior in its convenience.

Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

Multiple version of Java on one machine

Is it possible to have multiple versions of Java co-exist on the same XP Pro machine?
Here is our scenario: we have apps that use Java 1.5, but we have one critical app that doesn't support that version yet. It has to use the 1.4 version. Is there a way to allow both versions to exist and be usable for their respective apps? If so, how?
Thank you.

I can't, however it's never a good idea to have
multiple versions of Java on one machine. Try and
standardise if possible. If OP used JAVA_HOME as you
often suggest, then he would be knackered wouldn't
he? JAVA_HOME can only point to one JDK. Your
advice is conflicting kaj.Nope. JAVA_HOME should always be defined in the start script/file for a java application, so it's not set per system. It's very common that companies have applications that requires different JDK/JRE versions, and it's usually very expensive to upgrade all applications (if it's possible at all). You can of course also alter the PATH variable if you want to in the script.

Multiple SAP GUI version on one computer

Hi,
I am using Windows XP, professional. Can I have multiple versions of SAP GUI e.g. 6.40 & 7.10 on one computer?
thanks,
B Patil

Hello,
in the mentioned document "SAP GUI" is used in some places as a shortening for SAP GUI for Windows, which is fine in most cases. However in this particular sentence, it really might cause confusion.
The one and only version is indeed related to SAP GUI for Windows. There are no known issues related to having multiple versions of SAP GUI for Java installed in parallel to SAP GUI for Windows on the same machine.
Best regards

Multiple versions of an application on one Forms Server

Is it possible to have multiple versions of an application available via one Forms Server?
We have a DEV, TEST and PROD version of an application and we would like to have the versions seperate on one Forms Server.
Would this be possible using any other Oracle tools (Portal)?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, all you have to do is create a batch file which sets the env variables you want and also starts up the forms listener on a different port. This way you can have a forms listener on e.g.
Port 9000 With Forms60_Path - c:\temp
Port 9001 With Forms60_Path - c:\Production
Port 9002 With Forms60_Path - c:\test
That way you will pick up different files as well.

Multiple Instance of XI in one BOX ?

Hi All,
Is it possible to install two instances of XI (say DEV and QA environment) in one box.I understand for the abap stack we can use different system numbers for different environment.For the java stack,the port would then include the system number thus allowing multiple instances.
Has anyone tried this ,does it work?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bikram

Hello,
I am not sure it could works because you can only connect one J2EE stack to one ABAP client.
In your case you need 1 J2EE Engine for each client -> So 2 J2EE Engine.
I am not sure you can install 2 JAVA Addin for one ABAP Stack !!??
Good luck
If you try it could post the result ?
Best regards,
Chris

HT1349 How do I find where my multiple copies of Outlook are? (It said Multiple Outlook versions installed. You can't use iCloud when multiple versions of Outlook are installed. To use iCloud with outlook, uninstall one version.")

I have just started with iCloud, and run into a problem from my PC.
It says: "
Multiple Outlook versions installed.
You can't use iCloud when multiple versions of Outlook are
installed. To use iCloud with outlook, uninstall one version.
I have searched and found two versions of Outlook 2013 and 2015 (one of which was inactive, but I have removed it), and one of outlook.pst, which I have removed.
Where do I go from here?

That's a Windows/Office problem. You should ask in the Microsoft support forums.

Using multiple motion driver versions on one system...(with Labview 6.1 and Labview 8.0)

Using Labview 6.1 and Labview 8.0 on same PC computer (my development system).
Labview 8.0 applications, I would want to use the motion 7.x drivers
Labview 6.1 applications, I want to use motion 6.x drivers
(Of course, Labview 6.1 can not use motion 7.x drivers).
When I installed Labview 8.0 and motion 7.x drivers, it removed my motion 6.1
drivers (and all the vi's) and installed motion 7.x drivers (with vi's).
Of course, Labview 6.1 applications can not run with motion 7.x drivers.
How can I keep my Labview 6.1 applications running and building
with motion 6.x drivers while still having Labview 8.0 applications
with motion 7.x drivers (all on the same system).
And then, of course, the executables, on other systems with the 6.x and 7.x drivers.

Unfortunately there is no way to install multiple versions of a
hardware driver on a single operating system. This is not only true for
NI Motion but for any type of peripheral hardware. Windows can only
assign a single driver to a specific piece of hardware.
From my point of view the best solution would be to upgrade your
LabVIEW 6.1 application to LabVIEW 8.0. If this is not possible for
some reason you could install a second Windows on another harddrive or
partition and install LabVIEW 6.1 and NI-Motion 6.x on this system and
LabVIEW 8.0 and NI-Motion 7.x on the other one.

HT5148 can i have multiple versions of final cut on one machine

I currently have Final Cut Pro X, but my video interface requires I use Final Cut Pro 7. Can I have both versions on one machine?

You can use both the versions. But at times you will have to rename the application "MOTION" to open Final Cut Pro 7 & to use the option "Open a copy in Motion" in Final Cut Pro X!

How can I print multiple images on one sheet: PSE 10/Mac?

When printing, I can have all of my images in the dialoug box - but cannot figure out how to get more than one image on a sheet! For example, I am printing several photos a 2x2, and want to put as many as possilble on 1 sheet instead of using a seperate sheet for each image. I am on a Mac.
Any ideas?? I can't seem to find the answer. Thanks!

Barbara B.
Thanks for the reply to wdwpartners question.
I am new to PSE 10 (on Windows 7) and having the same problem with printing multiple photos on one sheet. With 14-20 images both contact sheet and picture package force you into 2x2 prints, not the image's original HxW ratio thus loosing some of the image on paper. Am I missing something?
My old version of PSE gave me an option to "print multiple photos" and custom select the image dimentions which was very useful to me. Please let the powers that be know this user asked for that option back!!
Thanks for a reply.

Multiple websites on one server

I've been trying to create multiple (two) websites on one server, with little luck. One sight works fine. I've tried creating a DNS entry for the new one, but I'm not sure what to set the IP to. I've tried many configurations of IP/hostname but nothing seems to work. Occasionally, the logs just disappear from the logs window.
I've read on here that it's possible to run multiple sites off of one IP, so I feel like that is not the problem. Ideally, I'd like to have one of the sites not exist in the System/WebServer folder. If I place the site folder outside of that folder, do I have to add its folder as a share point and/or modify its permissions?
Server version is 10.6.3

I'm going to distinguish the web browser (client), the web server, and the DNS server here, and will treat these as running on three separate computers. You might have one or more of those co-located on one box, adjust these references to your configuration as necessary.
The DNS translations are applicable only on the client; on the host box that is running with the web browser. The web server doesn't care about the DNS translation. The client needs the DNS to get the IP address of the web server, and it's off to the races from there.
Again, DNS translations are not relevant the web server. The particular web server that gets selected (Apache Virtual Host, what Apple calls a "Site") based on some information that is passed within the http (don't start working with https quite yet) connection from the web browser into the web server.
As for your DNS question, you'll probably want a CNAME (alias) entered in DNS database for the virtual hosts, even if you're awash with IP addresses. That alias must then match the name of the web server "Site". For testing, you can enter what amounts to CNAMES into /etc/hosts on the client, depending on your local set-up and your DNS server.
By default, the connections to all virtual hosts are via port 80. Stay there for now.
The web server selections are sensitive to the order of the "Sites" in the listing in Server Admin, too; you'll want the wildcard site (if you have that) at the end of the list.
Here are some of the basics: [Apache Tips: One Web Server, Multiple Distinct Web Sites|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1282]. Comments on that are welcome.
