Need help w/migration

Hi, thanks in advance for any advice you can provide on my circumstances:
I have a Rev A Macbook Air running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
I have also just bought a new MacMini that was just released a couple weeks ago, w/Lion pre-installed.
I tried (w/Migration Assistant) to move everything over. Everything has moved over (my files, that is) but my Music, Mail, Photos etc are not showing up, either in their respective apps, nor as individual files. The HD space on the new Mac has decreased by the same amount that has moved over (60GB), so I assume those files made the transfer, even though they are nowhere to be seen.
Please note that I had not installed the Migration Assistant upgrade prior to starting transfer... saw this after I'd done everything, and have now installed it on the Macbook Air, but fear it's too late/after the fact.
It seems I have two options (with your help):
1) Find the source files, and find the relevant directory lists, then place the in the right spot on the new Mac;
or
2) Totally reinstall Lion (and wipe out everything, which would include the old files that have transferred over). I haven't yet used the new Mac Mini so am not worried about totally wiping it and starting over.
Can you please let me know what you think? Option 2 is my preferred option, so that everything finds its way into the right place but I don't know how to wipe the entire Mac Mini and start again. I do know how (and have) reinstalled Lion via Recovery Mode, but it left all the previously transferred files intact -- it didn't wipe them all, just reinstalled system software.
thanks very much

That's the problem with using Migration Assistant instead of Setup assistant when your new Mac first starts up; you end up with an extra user account, and the accounts you transferred may lose permission to their files on other disks, especially backups.
Look in System prefs > Users & Groups; the transferred user accounts should be there. Log on to it/them and you should see your stuff.
If everything is there and working, and you don't have files on any other disks, you can just delete the account you first set up and use the one(s) you transferred.
If you do have files on other disks, post back with details -- what's on those disks?

Need help in migration from Layer2 to layer3

HI Guys
Need u r help in migration from layer2 switched network to layer3.
here is the setup there are 9 sites connected with a 10gig backbone in a ring.each site has a 6513 but at the data centre site we having two 6513.we are having a combination of voice and data vlans.at present all the sites are connected with layer2 trunks.all the trunks are teminated at the core ie datacentre site.so how should i procedd and what are the advantages of it ie migration.
Thanks
Mahmood

For this migration you first need to assign IP addresses to your connections between switches. This could be /30 (or /31, if supported) subnets. You should also consider running some dynamic routing protocol such as OSPF between switches.
Hope this helps.

Need Help with Migration...Please

Hello,
I need help! I just bought a new MacBook Pro. In house, I have a two year old iMac running Mavericks (all updated) and an iPhone and iPad (both running the most current OS). I also have the iMac connected to a Time Capsule. Here are my questions:
1. As I am not replacing the iMac, but rather adding a MacBook Pro to the mix, should I migrate the software, settings, files, etc. from the iMac to the MacBook? Is there an issue running computers which are clones in the same environment? Is it a bad idea to migrate?
2. Assuming # 1 is okay to migrate, what is the best way? Is it best directly from the iMac or from the Time Capsule? I do have a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter on hand.
3. Is there a link that would help me navigate the migration?
4. How long should the migration in #2 take?
5. Will I need to change any settings on the iMac, iPhone, or iPad afterwards?
6. Will my contacts and calendar sync with iCloud automatically, or do I have to change a setting on the MacBook to make that happen?
7. Also, as I'm leaving town tomorrow and want to take the MacBook Pro with me and I'm unsure I've the time to Migrate and tweak, can I jus turn on the MacBook (still not turned on), use it as it is, and then migrate when I get back home?
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!

Need help in Migration of data !

We developed a application using Apex and currently it is going through client testing.
There is one challenge at client side; there are some third party legacy inventory systems at client side where there is data stored in databases like Paradox, SQL server, XML the customers have been using them for last 10 to 15 years.
Now there is some amount of data where they enter into those system; we want to extract some of the data and show in our application. Ours is a hosted On Demand application we need to migrate the data from the client machine and push into our server so that they can view the data online. And we want to run a scheduler every day to extract the data .
Do you have any idea how we can do this in APEX or any tool that can support our need.
Did you hear about spectral.com (full convert)
I really appreciate your help on this.

Hi,
it is not too difficult to load data into a database using only Apex tools, but the problem with this is that it can't be completely automated, as at some stage, a user would have to do a manual file upload.
In order to achieve completely automated upload you would need access at a lower database and database server O/S level as well as have direct connectivity between your Apex server and the legacy source systems. As your Apex system is a "hosted On Demand application" you may be severely limited in your access at those levels.
Depending on your access, you would typically extract and load data from other non-oracle sources using technologies like Oracle's heterogeneous Gateways or third party odbc connectivity and use database links. Or you could automate files to be dropped from the legacy systems to somewhere that is accessible to the destination system where it could be loaded using tools such as SQL Loader or External Tables. This could be scheduled using tools such as cron or dbms scheduler.
I know this is very general, but I hope it points you in the right direction.

New Mini, need help with migration assistant

Hi,
Just got new (used) Mini and want to run Migration Assistant to transfer files from my old Mini. I have read through as many documents I can find describing Migration Assistant and Firewire Target Disc mode, but I am confused about a basic concept I guess. Do I need both Mini's hooked up to their own displays and keyboards for this to work? I ask because I have only one display and one keyboard/mouse. If I need just one display and keyboard, which Mini gets hooked up to the display and keyboard, the old Mini (source 10.5.8) or the new Mini (target 10.7.4). Sorry if this is a basic or obvious concept.,,, however here I sit dumbfounded.
Thanks in advance for any help, direction, walk through...
Rick

TRy booting the old one in Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
This one will make the old one appear as a Firewire drive to the new one.
Sometimes you may need a Monitor or an adapter at least plugged into the old one.

Need help on Migration

i'm going to migrate SQL Server 7 to Oracle 10g.
Could you please help me whether any tools are available for migration.
whether Oracle SQL Developer 1.2 Migration Workbench tool, would be helpful..?
My SQL server is resides in Window 2000 whereas Oracle is in AIX(Linux operating system)
Is platform would be an issue..?

Yes, you can use Oracle SQL Developer 1.2.1 for this. (Have you seen that we are in an Early Adopter release cycle for SQL Developer 1.5 ? (Download here) )
<p>For documentation and demos on getting started and using SQL Developer for your migration, please see: Migration Workbench

Just Bought New Mac Mini Server and Need Help on Migrating Old Single User

This is for my home / home office The issue is I was unable to connect to my old computer using migration assistant for some reason, but I didn't want to go down a rabbit hole to figure it out.
I would like to transfer all of my applications and prefs / settings to the new machine and I was thinking about using a synching program to do it so I wouldn't mess with the SL Server settings. I suppose I could do this manually but am concerned some hidden files or settings may not get moved properly. I am able to mount my old hard drive on the new mini so I just need a strategy. Thanks.

Good question - my angst is subsiding as I type. I was concerned that my preferences and other application linked things like Application Support were the same as it was, but I suppose if I have to mess a bit with it upon opening or reinstalling a program is the worst thing that will happen. After going thru the list of programs I realize that like most people I regularly use about 15% of the things in my Applications folder. The biggest hassle is Adobe CS4 which I need to get reauthorized by Adobe and this could only have been solved if I de-authorized it before blowing out my earlier computer. Luckily that is worst issue I am encountering.

Need help in migrating SAP Bex Reports to BO

Hi,
Customer exit we can't write in BO,it need to be in Bex side only.
Filters-we can define any where.
Variables(char)-we can define any where but i'm not sure about Text variables.
Please have a look at the below links

Need help in migration of database from 8i to 10g

Hi,
I have to upgrade the database of our application form 8.1.6 to 10g release2 version.
I am new in this job.
Can anyoneone give the guideline that in which part i have to taken care of specially.
Thanks,

Hi,
here i have one more idea:
if you only want a dump for the Structure, use the "CONTENT=METADATA_ONLY" in expdp.
In this case, you will not have data, but only the Datastructures (Users, tablespaces, tables etc.)
You can control, what is transferred by doing an impdp with the parameter "SQLFILE=filename.sql".
In this file you will find all statements; p.ex "create user User5 identified by values '44U7369872587307';"
after Importing this (without sqlfile=) in your new instance, you can later import from a full dump only the needed schemata
# impdp ... .... SCHEMAS=HR,U555 ..... TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE
To import tehe schemata online in your new instance, you need a databaselink p.ex OLD_DB (user system).
in impdp you can use the parameter NETWORK_LINK=OLD_DB instead of DUMPFILE=
-much success-

Need help in migrating MSSQL 2008 database to Oracle 11g

Hi everyone,
So, as stated above I want to migrate our apps database from mssql to oracle as it is what the client wants..
I have absolutely no experience working with Oracle.
My computer is running windows 7 32 bit, our DB people installed a 9i client for me to connect to the server and the my SQL Developer just came straight from the site. (So it's the latest release)
I have one "DBA" access to the database I'm trying to migrate to.
I've downloaded the Oracle SQL Developer and have been attempting to "migrate" our database using the migration tool for 3 days now, but to no avail.
So the error I'm encountering is that the migration just stops, and a popup with the message "Migration actions have failed. Check the migration reports for details. : The connection is closed." comes up.
I have no idea where the migration report can be found. As I cannot find it in the reports tab available.
I'm hoping someone here can have the patience and knowledge to get me through this?

The migration report is generally created under the "Documents and Settings" folder under application data/sqldeveloper. Key thing is at what stage the failure occurs?. Does it happen immediately after you start the data migration or after a while?.
If the data migration process fails immediately after the start then there might be an issue with permissions on the source/target databases. Probably it is having trouble with disabling constraints on the target database. Because rememeber SQL Developer will disable constraints before it moves data across. My preference is to give DBA privilege to the Oracle user to avoid just cases or you can disable the constraints yourself by using scripts. Check the source/target database date/time format masks. You can set them up in SQL Developer.
If the data migration process fails after a while and you notice that data for some tables is migrated then you may be running into network timeouts or space issues on Oracle etc.

Need help in migrating data from SQL Server to Oracle

Hi,
I've created a database link in my Oracle Database 11g Express Edition connecting to our SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Database. Now, I'm having issues on migrating some fields. Mostly Text field in SQL Server to CLOB in Oracle. I've created a PL/SQL Procedure to do this but somehow these columns don't get all the value.
For example:
In my sql server, I have a table SQLTBL with a field REMARKS of TEXT data type. It has the following value.
This is line 1.
This is line 2.
This is line 3.
Now I created a table ORCLTBL in oracle with field REMARKS of CLOB data type.
In my procedure I do something like.
begin
for i in ( select "remarks" rem from "dbo"."sqltbl"@sqldb )
loop
insert into orcltbl ( remarks ) values (i.rem);
end loop;
commit;
end;
/When I select the data from oracle it will only show "This is line 1" and disregard the values after the new line character.
Is there a way to make this work?
Thanks,
Allen

Does the above mean, you have Three records or it is One record spanning in Three lines?

Probably, assuming that there is only One record, SQL server is sending the data as separate rows as opposed to a Single Row.
Can you provide the Output of below when executed from Oracle terminal? (I hope you understand the motive of query, and pardon my knowledge of SQL Server if the query below does not work :) )
select count("remarks"), "remarks" rem from "dbo"."sqltbl"@sqldb group by "remarks";

Mac Virgin! Need Help with migrating files from PC

I am currently waiting for my Mac to be shipped to me and want to be prepared to transfer all of my PC files over once it gets here. I need to know if I need a cord of some sort (USB?) to connect the PC and Mac in order to do this.
Thanks!

Hi Winnie7779,
If you purchased the MBP from Apple, you can take it and your PC to your local Apple Store, and they will transfer the files for you. If this is not an option, you should probably pick up a copy of Switching to the Mac The Missing Manual (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596514129/index.html). This book was in invaluable resource for my switch earlier this year. It will answer many of your questions, and give you an offline resource to browse. As for your design files, if the program you used on Windows has a Mac version, the file shouldn't need any conversion, and will just open in the native program. In the case where there is no native program, the Mac version may have its own importing option. If there is no comparable Mac program, there is not much you can do on the Mac side. Fortunately, all recent Macs can run Windows, using a program like Parallels Desktop for Mac (http://www.parallels.com) or VMWare Fusion (http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/). These programs allow you run Windows in a window on the Mac Desktop, and then you could run your WIndows programs directly and use the files that way. Another and cheaper alternative is to use Boot Camp, which is included with Leopard, this will allow you to reboot and turn your Mac into a fully featured Windows PC. Good luck!

Need help with migrating CS2

We are currently running CS2 on an XP machine and are looking to build a new system. Will I be able to migrate CS2 to windows 7 or 8 and if so how can I do this without install disks? Can I simply copy the program files over to the new machine.

Utterly irrelevant because of this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
You will have to properly install those versions one way or the other. Whether or not you will get them to run on win 7/8/8.1 is entirely between you and your computer skills, but by all rights keep in mind that you will be trying to install 10 year old software and all sorts of problems should be expected. Quite honestly it makes no sense at all and you'd probably be much happier to just sign on for Creative Cloud.

Need help on migrating data

My client uses a different system and wants to migrate to SAP BO (well,
good news).
SAP BO system is being created and CofA, BP Master and Item Master are
all imported.
I have a question regarding transaction records.
Client wants to import all the transaction, both closed and open
transactions.
I would normally go importing only Open Sales Orders and Open Invoices,
Open Credit notes, etc. However, client wants to have all the record of
closed transactions as well.
Client wants to have the links as well. That is, to be able to see which
(closed) invoice is based on which (closed) sales order, credit memo.
Is this possible? This obviously affect inventory as well. Is there SAP
recommendation?
Is there any documentation available?

Thanks for you input.
I can use BaseEntry, BaseLine and BaseType in the template Documents_Lines to import marketing document and make a link to base and target document as Thibault says.
Does anyone know how it affects inventory? The company is using moving average for inventory valuation.
