New BW Server

Hi..
We are setting up a new BW system. I have no experience before on what to do or set in a fresh BW system.
Can anybody please share about this or maybe have documentation for this ?
Appreciate your help. Thanks

Hi,
just follow the installation guides.

At the current time we have one Domino v7.0.4 server (Win2k with DUC v1.2.3) in production and our clients are running Notes v7.0.4 client with DUC v.1.2.3 installed on them. This setup has been working great in our Unity v5.0(1) environment. We are looking to migrate our users to a newly installed Domino v8.5.1 (Win 2008 x32 DUC v1.2.5) server in the near future but out test users are running into a problem.
When a user gets migrated over to our new Domino server the client can no longer access their voicemail via TUI. During the user migration process we do change the pointer in Unity to their mail file on the new Domino server. When the user logs in they receive "Your messages are available now"
If we migrate the user back to the old v7.0.4 server they can access their voice mail with no issues.
Any feedback you could provide would be great. Thanks!

Hi Kenneth,
Could you clarify what you mean by "During the user migration process we do change the pointer in Unity to their mail file on the new Domino server"? Typically when moving a user's mail file to a new Domino server, Unity should automatically pick up those changes. Are you pehaps creating a new mail file and pointing Domino to it instead of moving it? If that is the case, the new mail file would not have been DUCS enabled, a process it must go through before Unity will be able to access it properly. The only way to force that to happen would be to reimport the user into Unity. If the mail file is properly migrated, however, the mail file should remain DUCS enabled and there would be no need for this.
An easy way to determine whether the user is DUCS enabled is using the DUT tool. It is located on the Unity server under \Commserver\Utilities\Domino\DUT. It will show you a list of all of your users. Compare the values you see in the UCProfile section for a working / non-migrated user to a failing one. You might also want to verify that it lists the updated mail server and mail file for the user.
Also, while I don't think it would cause this particular problem, you should be aware that Server 2008 is not currently a supported platform for DUCS/CsServer 1.2.5, see page 6 in the admin guide:

LDAP is not working on new Web Server

Hi, I configured LDAP authentication and it was working fine. After this I installed a new web server. I copied the security certificate etc ( copied everything from other web server) onto new webserver. When I try to login into Infoview or CMC then I get error message "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin" from the new web server. Its working fine from the old web servers.
Not sure what else I have to do now as I have done the same thing on old servers in the past.
We are on BOXI R2 SP3 with web server on IIS 6.0. We have three web servers and 3 processing servers ( with all services) in cluster env.
Thanks,

I am sorry I got confused with Pure Enterise authentication. I should have referred to my notes. I apologize for this. Web application server is involved in communicating to LDAP. Below is the process
1) User logs into the application
2) Web application server security plugin sends credential to LDAP directory
3) LDAP directory authenticate users.
4) Web application server's security plugin sends users credential to LDAP
5) CMS requests user and group info from LDAP
6) The LDAP returns this information to CMS Security plugin
7) CMS will grant access if users is member of mapped group
8) If access is granted then both CMS and WAS plugin create a session
9) The WAS sends an enterprise session token to user's browser
I was referring to login into Infoview using LDAP.
Thanks,

Crystal Report 9 performance issue wehn we move old DB to new DB server

We are using Crystal Reports 9 version, recently we move to new database server and reports data source are pointing to Old database server and old database server is no longer in the network.
, Now we have issue with the performance, if the we call the reports from web application, it is talking long to retrieve the report at least 1 min.. , if we manually update the report data source pointing to new server and the reports are pulling in 1 second, Is there any easy solution to update all the report pointing to new server, we have 3000 reports, we can not use manual process, it will take long time and it is also issue with the future if we change the server.
Thanks!

The 1 minute timeout is due to ODBC driver trying to connect, it's the default timeout you are seeing. There is not tool Cr has to migrate/update database connection info. You can develop your own though or search the web for a third party tool, I'm sure there are lots out there.

Crystal Report 9 slow down when we move old DB to new DB server

We are using Crystal Reports 9 version, recently we move to new database server and reports data source are pointing to Old database server and old database server is no longer in the network.
Now we have issue with the performance when we call the reports from web application, it is talking long time to retrieve the simple report data(e.g. 1 min.). , if we manually update the report data source pointing to new server and the reports are pulling data very quickly.(e.g. 1 second for the same report) Is there any easy solution to bulk update all the reports datasource pointing to new server, we have 1000 reports, we can not use manual process, it will take long time and it is also issue with the future if we change the server.
Thanks for your help!

New Mail server setup

Greetings,
I need some pro's cons, Ideas taunts and general whaddia thinks.
Setting up a new mail server. dpG5 xserve w/ 10,000 rpm drives
my thoughts are to take the user information off the machine to a second G5 xserve running as an ODM.
I thought about splitting IMAP/pop services to another box. keeping my primary SMTP Spam/AV away from cyrus, relaying inbound messages to the IMAP server.
so I would have
ODM.mydomain
SMTP1.mydomain
IMAP1.mydomain
-- Does anyone see any performance or configuration hick ups here?
now comes the ugly question.
How do I set up each smtp server. the imap server is still going to have to run smtp to deliver and recieve delivery of messages. but I need them to answer for mydomain, not host1.mydomain. I'm a little foggy on what comes first
--j

There are multiple ways of achieving this.
The simplest is for the servers to deliver via smtp to each other.
So (very very simplified):
Since you said you use OD, I assume all servers will refer to your OD master for user account details.
Server 1 (Filter)
Postfix & amavisd & ClamAV & spamassassin
main.cf and master.cf should be configured like you are used to now except that you only want to be able to send to the content filter and nowhere else.
In amavisd.conf uncomment and change IP (to IP of SMTP/IMAP server) of this line:
$forward_method = 'smtp:127.0.0.1:10025';
No relay settings needed, because you want mail to go the filter first and not to another SMTP server.
Server 2 (Mail Stores)
Postfix & Cyrus
main.cf and master.cf should be configured like you are used to now except that you do not want any kind of filtering anymore. Also set to accept only from Server 1 (since it should not accept incoming mail from the outside world directly)
Server 3 (Outgoing SMTP)
Postfix
main.cf and master.cf should be configured like you are used to now except that you do not need to accept incoming mail. Also no filtering needed (unless you want to scan outgoing mail)
Mail clients:
Point incoming to Server 2 and outgoing to Server 3
That's pretty much it. I know it's not a walkthrough , but then again this kind of setup is better fully understood rather than copied step-by-step.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Alex
P.S.
-Optionally you could use Server 3 as a secondary MX for backup reasons.
-For most Postfix settings see : http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html
-All of this can be further improved with firewall rules

But, a connection can be established fine, if I am trying it from a simple Java program with JDBC with the exactly same parameters.
However I am able to create a new DB server connection using APP Driver
i.e.
vendor type as "DB2 Universal Database Express v8.1" and Driver as "IBM DB2 APP DRIVER". No host name or port need to be specified in this case.
But, if the database is in different machine then it will be a problem.

Error when creating a new Reports Server instance

Hi,
I have tried to create and start a new reports server instance using the following method:
1- Creating the report server instance:
rwserver server=%newrepserver% start
2- Stopping the OPMN:
*%ORACLEHOME%\opmn\bin\opmnctl stopall*
3- Adding a new server target to OPMN.XML
*%ORACLEHOME%\bin\addNewServerTarget.bat %newrepserver%*
4- Updating the configuration with new OPMN settings:
*%ORACLEHOME%\dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat updateconfig -ct opmn -v -d*
*%ORACLEHOME%\dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat resyncinstance -v -d*
5- Starting the OPMN again:
*%ORACLEHOME%\opmn\bin\opmnctl startall*
However, when I try to start the OPMN again, I receive the following error:
opmn id="##########:6200 5 of 6 processes started
ias-instance id=red.########.########.lan
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ias-component/process-type-process-set:
*%newrepserver%/ReportsServer/%newrepserver%*
Error --> Process (pid=6888) failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit.
Log: %ORACLEHOME%\opmn\logs\%newrepserver%~ReportsServer~%newrepserver%
Any ideas as to why the reports server instance cannot be started?
I have tried rebooting the server many times and have recreated other reports server instances but with no luck.
Many thanks in advance,
Chris

On Windows this is caused most often by the temporary directory setting.
Change the temporary directory to some fixed directory writable by anybody, e.g. "C:\temp".
Change this in:
Registry entry: hkey_local_machine\software\oracle\key_<oashome>\REPORTS_TMP
<oashome>\opmn\conf\opmn.xml: search for environment variable TEMP (under ias-instance)
Good luck!

Cannot add a New Essbase server into the EAS Console

Hi can someone assist me...........
I have installed Essbase on a new / additional server (that all went rather well, its not hard just pressing NEXT, NEXT, NEXT).
I then used a essadmin account to configure, i have to say its not the same as the other essbase server (so i am wondering if this was the start of my problems)!!. I did not use the same essadmin as the password is unknown its not known and the orginal installation was not recorded. I do however know and used the admin account for the shared services.
I then logged into EAS Console (single instance of the EAS, with a plan to add 3 new essbase servers to this console over the next couple of days.) i added the new essbase server, then externalised and all was happy with the world. SUCCESS :-)
I closed EAS, and went back in and thats where the fun started, it then stated that it could not connect and i recieved the invalid login message in essbase. I have read some forums and followed the advise of going into Shared Services and manually removing the new essbase server registry under projects, cleared down and replaced the essbase.sec file etc etc to the originals and stop/started the services.
So can anyone help on what my next steps should be?, I don't want to run off and re-register again via the console for shared services if i need to use the original essadmin password in my configuration. Any help will be gratefully recieved.

(Request for:) Best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC

Could you please share your best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC, that will be running on a new WinSrv 2012 r2 host server. (This
will be for a brand new network setup, new forest, domain, etc.)
Specifically, your best practices regarding:
the sizing of non virtual and virtual volumes/partitions/drives,
the use of sysvol, logs, & data volumes/drives on hosts & guests,
RAID levels for the host and the guest(s),
IDE vs SCSI and drivers both non virtual and virtual and the booting there of,
disk caching settings on both host and guests.
Thanks so much for any information you can share.

A bit of non essential additional info:
We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services
over to the new infrastructure . We are planning on rolling out 2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for
information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really
seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
We have read these and others:
Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100),
Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.
Again, thanks for any information, best practices, cookie cutter or otherwise that you can share.
Chas.

Need suggestion on new environment (server - database combi).

Hello,
We have two database instances (DB1 and DB2 - Both 10g) each of size 10TB. Currently, both the databases are mounted on same AIX server.
There are several schemas in each database. There will be data transfer activity between two databases. Currently we are using DB links for the same.
We are planning to build a new environment(Server / Servers) with data from both the databases.Need your inputs and suggestions on building / designing the new environment.
2 Servers with DB1 and DB2 mounted on each seperately. - Pros and cons ?
1 server with DB1 and DB2 mounted on the same server. - Pros and cons ?
1 server with 1 DB (Merging both schemas from DB1 and DB2). - Pros and cons ?
Please suggest your thoughts, advantages and constraints of the different approaches.
A few things which come to my mind instantly are : Modularity , Data transfer , Security , Ease of maintenance , Expandability of business , Architectural recommendations , Backup and Restore.
Thanks,
Anand.

Hi Arjun.Singh,
Now can I create a new database with name JKL at Server B with backup of PQR?You need a target to use the duplicate command in rman.
Is your backup of PQR a image copy?
If so you could use a classic clone procedure to create a new database.

New production server PLUS upgrade!

After years of groveling, weekly church visits, and burning incense, it appears that I will finally be able to get a new production server for our 3.3 TB data warehouse. They are also going to add 2 TB of space to our main storage array.
In addition, management wants to upgrade from 10.2.0.3 to 11gR2 as part of that migration. Our current server was not able to handle 11g, according to Oracle.
In recent times, I have had to do some very non-standard things as a dba, mostly due to insufficient resources. So these migrations may not be as straightforward as what you read in the docs, and therefore I would like some opinions about how best to achieve the migration to the new box, and to 11gR2.
Our current environment is a Sunfire 6800 Sparc 64 box with 12 900mhz cpus and 16G of ram, and Solaris 10.
Most of our datafiles are housed on a 3.7 TB Sun 2540 storage array, but due to space and performance constraints, it was decided to put one very large and mostly unimportant tablespace (350G) on a 2.1 TB Sun 3511 array. We also put our 2 temporary tablespaces (about 54G) on that array. Also on the 3511 array is our db_recovery_file_dest area, with all of our archived redo logs and flashback logs. Due to lack of space there, I have to direct our RMAN database file backups, archived log backups, and exports to an unsupported Hitachi SAN, which is 8 years old, like our Sunfire 6800.
The new server is a Sun M4000 with Solaris 10, so the OS will not be an issue. It will have 4 4-way 2.5ghz processors and 32G of ram. The newly expanded 2540 array will have enough space to hold us for a few years. It is currently 3.7TB, using 2.6 of that. When expanded, it will be about 5.8TB.
My mission is to move all of the temporary tablespace and other data files (about 1 TB) and the exports (1 TB) to the newly expanded 2540. We will keep the space (2.1 TB) allocated on the 3511 attached to the new server, but it will be used ONLY for recovery-related files; rman backups, flashback logs, archived logs, etc. My goal is to keep at least two full rman backups in that space, along with all the necessary archived log backups. We are supposed to get everything off of the old SAN. So, there will be a lot of file shuffling, nothing new for this shop.
My plan would be to install 10.2.0.3 (same exact version) on the new server, then hook it up to the existing storage arrays. (My boss thinks that will reformat all of the disks on those arrays, but I don't think that is necessarily true. I believe it is possilble to mount each file system on those arrays to the new box, so long as they have been unmounted from the old one. Then again, I am not a Unix Admin)
Next, I would startup-mount the database, move the necessary files to the 2540 using Oracle and Unix commands, then shut down the db. Then, I would install 11gR2 with all patches on the new server, and upgrade the database manually, in place.
If my boss is right and connecting the new server to the existing arrays means re-initializing them, he asked if we could use our last RMAN backup to restore the database in the new environment. I said if we were still running 10g at that time on the new server, and all the file systems were identical, that should be possible. However, I should note that we do NOT use an RMAN catalog (RMAN uses the controlfile). We have no place to put an RMAN catalog. I have never even had a place to test doing a restore with RMAN.
If anyone out there has been through a migration to a new server along with an Oracle upgrade, I would appreciate any ideas on the best way to go about it.

Hi,
Its not recommended to upgrade OS and Database same time. I would recommend :
1) Migrate database from Old Server to new Severs.
-> Install OS, packages, patches, create users, groups, mount points and configure kernel parameters as required.
-> Restore $ORACLE_HOME, inventories, mount all data partitions on same mount points similar to old servers
-> Perform relink for all oracle home binaries using command relink all command.

Server 2003 SBS (with Exchange 2003) migrate to new machine Server 2012 Standard (with Exchange 2013)

This is what I have:
A very outdated machine running a small domain, SBS 2003 and Exchange - this is the ONLY server currently.
This is what my boss ordered:
A Dell R210 II machine with Server 2012 Standard (and I downloaded the trial for Exchange 2013).
He wants the old server completely replaced and gone - with everything moved over (including Exchange) to the new machine. The main reason for the upgrade is that not all users can access email on their machines (Macs, new versions of Outlook, etc.)
I have set up a new standalone server before but never migrated one - and I've found that going from SBS2003/Exchange2003 to Server2012/Exchange2013 is not simple in the least.
I thought I could just set up the new server as a DC on the domain and have everything replicated to it from the source server. Then I could decommission the old server. I have been told that 1) I can't upgrade Exchange 2003 to 2013 and 2) that I shouldn't
put Exchange on a DC. What do you do if you only have the one server?

Hi,

Server 2012 R2 ISO download is larger than DVD, how do I install on a new physical server?

I have downloaded Server 2012 R2 (not the trial version) and the size of the ISO is 5.2Gb. I get 'disc image file is too large' error when trying to create image on DVD. How do I install 2012 R2 on a new physical server?

Does your server have an out-of-band management console? Those can generally mount virtual media that is simply a file residing on the machine you are using to connect to the console.
Another option is to use USB -

Oracle 10g - Creating a new Application Server using standalone OC4J 10g

I have some issues in creating a new app. server using standalone oc4j 10g 10.1.3 instance. After I created the app. server instance, I tested the connection and it says connection refused. I used the userid as oc4jadmin and the password as welcome. I am getting a message connection refused. For connection, I used the default hostname "localhost" and I didn't mention anything in the URL path.

Thanks Steve..
Here is what I am trying to do.. I want to create a new app server instance (i.e.) stand alone oc4j server, where I can deploy my web service and run a test.
Oracle JDeveloper 10g:
Under Connection Navigator, Application Server --
1) Right click to 'Create New Application Server Connection'
2) Connection type as 'Standalone OC4J 10 g 10.1.3',
3) Username ==> oc4jadmin, Password ==>welcome, checked the Deploy password.
4) Hostname: localhost RMI Port: 23791
URL path: <<blank>>
5) Test Connection ==> getting a error message...
Error while getting remote MBeanServer for url: ormi://localhost:23791/default:
