Need to build new instance in sync with PROD instance.

Hi,
I need to build a test instance at my location which should be in sync with customer's PROD instance. I was given backup of ad_bugs,ad_applied_patches tables. Customer is not ready for clone due to security reasons.
This TEST instance will be used by our development people.
To build a test instance, i prepared the action plan, Just i want to check with you people once again.
1) building a new instance with rapid clone. I will keep same licencing, characterset,languages.
2) I will start applying one bye one patches.
Is this correct way or any other smarted way of doing the same activity.
Regards
SR.

By perfroming all the steps you describe, you are in effect doing a clone THE HARD WAY. Is there specific security concerns regarding data preventing you from using Rapid Clone? If so, there may be Oracle API's to resolve that.
I highly recommend convincing your customer that Rapid Clone is the way to go. You may never get everything in synch and it will be difficult to identify, internal id's likely won't. I also don't believe the method you propose is supported.
IMHO, Rapid Clone from prod is a requirement to support any SDLC e-biz installation.

  • I'm using numbers on my MacBook, do I need to get seperate app to sync with phone?

    I'm using numbers on my MacBook, do I need to get seperate app to sync with phone? Or should it sync through iCloud.
    Also does anyone know if numbers has a similar feature to auto sum on excel, where you can quickly add a row of numbers together?
    Many thanks

    You have to purchase Numbers for iOS devices separately.
    To add a row of numbers select the range to add, then drag the quick functions from the left (lower) of the Numbers window to the destination cell:

  • How can I get my new phone to sync with iTunes

    My husband got a new iPhone and we share a computer, we figured out how to create a new library but the new library does not recognize the phone in order to sync it.  How can we get the new library to sync with his phone?

    Thanks for you suggestion roaminggnome. I tried typing in 13019 like you said and it gave me a few options to try and fix it but none of them worked (of course). I fiddled around with it for a while some more on my own and some how got it to work again, lol. Thanks again though for offering a solution.

  • Had iphone, it broke, have new iphone, cant sync with itunes

    I had an iphone 3g for about a month and it died. I got my new one today and when I plugged it into my computer to sync with itunes nothing happened. I then opened itunes but itunes is not "seeing" my new phone and I can't do anything with it. Anyone know how to help me reset and find my new phone in itunes? Thanks so much!

    FOUND IT! This was so simple I'm shocked everyone on here didn't know about it. Here is the solution to my problem-maybe it can help others who can't sync!
    FOUND THE ANSWER!!
    Apparently when you plug your iPhone in to your computer, Windows will "sometimes" install the drivers as a camera, putting them in the wrong place. This is why it will pop up in Windows so you can take photos off, but iTunes can't see it. SO, what you have to do is move the driver file (USBAAPL.SYS) to the correct location. Follow the directions I found below & your iTunes should be fixed (worked for me):
    What works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:
    1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in
    and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really
    matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).
    2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:
    o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)
    o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).
    o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!
    You should find the driver info in a sub folder of
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B
    Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder
    name into note pad – you’ll need it later)
    If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not
    been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.
    3. Locate the ipod-camera device:
    o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >
    Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager
    o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as
    ‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.
    4. Update the driver:
    o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on
    ‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.
    o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’
    o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check
    ‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.
    In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder
    containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example
    above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B),
    then click Next.
    You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue
    installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come
    to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.
    If for some reason this doesn't work, try downloading the file here:
    http://www.runscanner.net/files/sys...sbaapl.sys.aspx
    And putting it here:
    C:\ WINDOWS\ system32\ drivers\ usbaapl.sys

  • TS1368 Attempting to set up new computer to Sync with my Iphone5. Downloaded I tunes but do not find way to authorize this computer or sync

    need help getting new computer accepted as ok to use with i tunes & to sync with I phone 5

    You should be able to authorise your account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes- if you are using iTunes on a PC then try pressing Alt-S and the Store menu should appear (or control-B and the menus should show, they are hidden by default on iTunes 11 on PCs) e.g.

  • Mavericks Mail update (build 1822): constant folder syncing with Gmail IMAP

    The Mail update to build 1822 seems to fix previous major problems for Gmail IMAP.  I've changed my Gmail settings (on the Gmail side) back to my original setup: "All Mail" now is turned off for display in the Mail client. That allows me to search messages and see search results in Mail that show the folder in which search result messages reside...instead of "All Mail" for every message matching the search criteria, as it showed when "All Mail" was turned on.
    Two remaining problems for me.
    1 -- Regularly and frequently, Mail goes out to the Gmail IMAP server and checks every single mail folder and syncs with them. It doesn't matter that the folders haven't been changed or that I haven't sent, received, or viewed any mail...if Mail is open, it checks and syncs frequently.  Now, very few folders have new filed messages, so bandwidth use of this behavior presumable is low...but it sure is annoying. You can see it happening by choosing "Activity" under the Window menu, and watching for a while.
    2 -- I can't change the display order of Gmail folders in the left-hand column of the Mail app display.  The order is fixed and it doesn't seem to follow any rule I can detect.  The folder display certainly isn't alphabetical or by date.
    Suggestions or insight about these two challenges are welcome.
    Thanks!

    I've got no solution on problem one (sorry for both of us), but might for problem two.
    I have four IMAP accounts in mail: 2 gmail, one google hosted app, and one Corporate.  Mavericks mail (with update) constantly checks all IMAP accounts, whether gmail or not.
    This contant IMAP freak out may be related to the solution I have for you on Gmail folder sorting. I've tried diabling the account  (in preferences), quitting mail, then restarting mail, and then re-enabling the account. Let mail finish its IMAP freak out, then drag the folders where you want them.  They may or may not appear to change succesfuly.  Wait a while (so Mail does the IMAP dance again), quit Mail, restart Mail. If it looks good great, if not, do the whole disable / re-enable account thing.  Sounds mental, and pretty much is, but it worked for me. I cobbled this together from hints on previous Mail version / IMAP problems.
    My pet theory--which is entirely unsubstantied by any evidence whatsoever--is that Mail's local cache is not being updated properly while in use, and the flood of IMAP traffic is leaving the folder structure changes in limbo until you force changes with the quit / preference change. Whatever the cause, it seems to affect non Gmail as well (for at least me).

  • How do i get my new purchases to sync with my nano without having to erase everything??

    I'm trying to sync my purchased songs to my nano, but it won't give the option or I can't find the option to do so without deleting everything. This is 1 of 3 computers that I have authorized for this, so I have downloaded CD's from one computer and purchased songs from 2 other computers and had no problems syncing, now I can't figure it out. I know this is probably pretty simple but this is my first Apple device.
    Thanks!

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. That is, unless you manually manage the iPod's contents. See this article for more details.
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    Otherwise, if you want to continue autosyncing your iPod with iTunes, you'll want to copy everything currently on the iPod to your new iTunes library and then choose the Erase and Sync option or hit the Restore button from under the iPod's Summary tab to allow your Nano to start syncing content from the new library.

  • HT1688 How can I set up my new iPhone to sync with my iPad

    I recently lost my iPhone so I went through insurance to get a new one. I know my iPhone wasn't backed up to iCloud in a while but my iPad is still up to date. How can I get my new iPhone to be the same as my iPad?

    iDevices do not sync with one another, never have.
    All content should be in iTunes on the computer, connect the new iPhone to the computer and either restore it from the most recent backup of the old iPhone or set up as new and sync the desired content to the device.

  • Why won't my new Touch not sync with my 2012 Volvo?

    I bought an iPod Touch to use in my 2012 Volvo XC70.  The iPod is not recognized at all using the headphone jack to port on the car ( this approach works fine on my older Saab 9-3).  Using the car's USB port and the Apple cable, I get a message that the car cannot connect to this iPod.  Looking on forums I see this issue has been kicking around for 4 years, and is not limited to Volvo.  What's up, and what is the fix?  The iPod goes back if the answer is something like upgrade the car's software.

    "Bye bye iPod!" Sorry... Unless you can update the software to recognize your iPod your somewhat limited.Try contacting Volvo about upgrading the car sound system, if you haven't already done that. Or try maybe a third party interface or module so you can bridge the new iPod's software with your 2012 Volvo.  I would start with a company like Crutchfield's or talk with people that install radios / sound systems, they must have hit this problem at some point, may have an answer or solution for you. Hope this helps, Good luck.

  • Creating instances of symbols with unique instance names in Actionscript 3

    Hey
    I was wondering if it is possible to create a large number (lets say 100) of symbol instances where each of the different instances had its own unique instance- name .  The names beeing something like ball1, ball2, ball3,  etc..
    Normally i would just create all these and manually give them their name, so a solution to this would spear me alot of time.
    Thanks

    Here's a very simple example that should get you started:
    var howMany:int = 100;
    var itemNameList:Array = new Array();
    function populateScreen() {
         for(var i:int = 0 ; i < howMany ; i++) {
                var newBox:box = new box();
                addChild(newBox);
                newBox.name = "box" + i;
                itemNameList.push(newBox.name);
                newBox.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth/2;
                newBox.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight/2;
         trace(itemNameList);
    populateScreen();
    Have a movieClip in the movie's Library with a class name of "box". Create a new instance of that object, add it to the display list and then set a name property. I then added each name to an array so that you can keep track of the objects. I then placed each one at a random location on the screen.
