Are you upgrading or installing on a different server? If you're installing it on your local machine, you might have to modify the NQSConfig file to point to the right directories (C:\OracleBI whereas on the server it might have been D:\OracleBI etc).

  • ITunes Plus Upgrade--No help from iTunes Support

    I appologize for this lengthy post. Believe me I have more to the story, but want to keep it as short as possible. Bottom line is I'm looking for help with iTunes plus upgrade please.
    My specific problem is getting customer support to upgrade my old iTunes songs iTunes to iTunes plus so I can use them on our new Sonos player. It’s now been almost a week since this issue arose and there has been no help in getting my problems solved. My main problem is that there is no telephone customer support for iTunes. All of the support for iTunes is now done online through emails. That is a huge issue in my mind, but not the purpose for this post.
    Here is my problem..
    I have two iTunes accounts. Account # 1 was my primary account until 2008/09 time frame when I switched from a PC to Macbook Pro. I have 314 songs from 2006-08 that were purchased on Account #1 that I'm trying to upgrade to iTunes Plus. Account #2 is now my primary iTunes account. The Account #2 songs are all iTunes plus and do not need upgrading. I now have all the purchases from both accounts on my Mac Mini serving as a HTC, but the old iTunes DRM songs cannot be played on Sonos until they get upgraded.
    My issue solely relates to my old songs on Account #1. I have been trying to upgrade my account 1 songs since last Thursday. My iTunes store account is currently logged into Account 1 when attempting the updgrade. When I first made the purchase, I got the on screen message that I’d get an email with instructions to complete the purchase. Well three days passed and I never got the email. I also noticed that my purchase of $104 showed up as three “pending” credit card charges on my bank account records. This seemed odd so I called Apple for help. Big mistake!!!!!
    When I attempted to call Apple Support I was continually given to “technical support” for either my Macbook or Mac Mini. They never listened to what I was saying. In fact one rep told me I would need to pay the $39 fee for technical support on my issue!!!! Finally, after speaking to three different individuals one of the “tech support” reps was able to contact an iTunes support rep. Note, that I could not speak to them, rather it was strictly apple employee to apple employee. I was placed on hold for thirty minutes while they worked on my issue. After thirty minutes I was told to go to the iTunes store and start over. I went to iTunes store and completed the purchase again. Shortly thereafter, I received an email response from iTunes saying:
    Dear Tom,
    Your iTunes Plus music upgrade could not be successfully completed because there was a problem with one of the items that was to be upgraded. Please return to your Upgrade My Library page and click Buy and your upgrade should be processed successfully. We are sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your business.
    Sincerely,
    iTunes Store Team
    Based on this email. I went to iTunes store again and tried the purchase….again. I then got the same email response a short time later. I have attempted two other times to buy the upgrades but got no email responses at all. Late Sunday, I called Apple again and also used their online iTunes support page. I got one response late Sunday evening asking a question about error messages, I answered their question by providing them the above iTunes notice. That email late Sunday night was the last communication I've recieved from iTunes support. It’s now three days later and I’m still waiting to hear back from someone at iTunes support. All I want to do is spend 104 dollars to upgrade my 300+ songs, but no one at Apple seems to care.
    I am really disappointed in Apple’s customer service. I’ve been a fan of Apple for quite some time, between my wife and I, we have 6 Apple products in our home. The lack of customer support is really disgraceful.
    Anyone have any ideas.

    This is a follow up. Finally, after almost 72 hours, I recieved another email from the original iTunes support representative. According to her, the problem is that one or more of my songs on the account are either not eligible for the upgrade or the file is corrupted and can not be upgraded. In short I cannot use the "Buy All" feature because I will always hit this roadblock. The only way to resolve this, is to upgrade each song individually or select a few songs at a time to upgrade.
    I will have to do this until I get the song or songs that is causing the problem. Once I have identified the song(s), I can chose to repurchase them and get a refund. All songs today are at the DRM free format so repurchased songs will automatically be the upgraded file.
    So I'll now begin the upgrade of the 314 songs. I guess it could be worse.
    Okay, I got an answer and an offer of a refund, but this answer certainly could have been provided three days ago. Am I being unreasonable?

  • Open analysis report in BI Publisher in OBIEE plus

  • OBIEE Plus vs others

    We are in process of deciding to implement a suitable BI tool for analytics and reporting purposes. I have the following questions in this regard:
    1. What are the factors we should consider while choosing the right tool as it seems that every tool is unique?
    2. Possible contenders include Business Objects, Cognos, OBIEE and Hyperion. From my limited knowledge I have come to know that though all of these are reporting tools Business Objects and OBIEE are ROLAP based, whereas Cognos and Hyperion are MOLAP based. I also came across OBIEE Plus which includes features/capabilities of OBIEE along with MOLAP capabilities of Hyperion. So does this mean OBIEE Plus would be a safe bet? Also, and am I right to consider OBIEE Plus as a HOLAP based reporting too,
    Any guidance on these questions would be very helpful in us making a calculated decision.

    Hi,
    You can use Java Script codes on OBIEE Dashboards to perform What If Analysis. I don't have a specific code, it should be based on your logic. But I know this can be achieved in this way.
    Thanks,

  • After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process.

    After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process but cannot remember.
    Tried to run firefox.exe -P but receive error message:
    XML Parsing error: undefined entity
    Location: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/profileSelection.xul
    Line number 18, Column 1:
    <dialog
    ^
    Running on Windows XP SP3. No problem whatsoever before upgrading to 27. Sending this from Chrome as I cannot open Firefox at all.

    Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
    Thank you very much again.
    Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
    In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.

  • Moving from 32-bit to a 64-bit OS how will this impact ebs upgrade process

    we are planning to upgrade from ebs 11.5.10.2 to r12.1 .3

    My concern is since we will be moving from 32-bit to a 64-bit OS how will this impact our upgrade process?I assume your EBS single machine. EBS r11 is not certified wiht 64 bit OS.So you need to upgrade first than migrate it 64 bit

  • BPC 7.5 upgrade process - Doubts

    Hi,
    Once we had the confirmation and approval to upgrade the system from SP00 to SP03 (on .NET server components), we noticed that some functional configurations had been made in the meantime. This new scenario where new things had been done from a functional perspective makes me wonder if any of that configuration could be lost while or after upgrading the server component?
    Also, after reading Note 1453797 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP03 NW Central Note, section "Before you install" to be more specific it says to uninstall any previous version of the .NET server and client components. Also Scott recommended me that as a best practice. This applies when the upgrade is being done from BPC 7.0 to BPC 7.5 for example or it also applies to my case (uprading BPC 7.5 system from SP00 to SP03)?
    Thanks again for your help.
    Regards

    Hi Ethan,
    Thanks for the quick response.
    Actually I'm new installing BO BPC and maybe I've not used the correct words to describe that configuration I've detected while trying to install SP03. What I've noticed is that an Initial Application Set has been created. Actually, this is the only thing I have found but I'm not sure if that imply any other configurations either in .NET server or ABAP server that could be lost after upgrading the server component from SP00 to SP03. The same question arises if I decide to uninstall the current installation to perform a fresh one using SP03 directly as its described in note 1453797.
    In summary, is there any chance to lost the configuration made on a BPC system (.NET and ABAP servers or client) if any of the above upgrade process is performed?
    Hope being clear enough this time thanks so much for your help.
    Kind regards

  • Is R3load used in Upgrade process

    Hi all,
    During Upgrade in CONFIGURATION PHASE when we select
    > MANUAL SELECTION OF PARAMETERS & provide values R3load is by default 3
    I am pretty confused where R3load is used in Upgrade process
    Why is R3load not mentioned in the Upgrade Guide if it is effectively used
    SAP ERP 6.0 Including Enhancement Package 4 Support Release 1 ABAP
    Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Including Enhancement Package 1
    Pls advice on the following
    -Rahul

    Hi,
    As already mentioned R3load is what will load the database tables during Upgrade process. If you have enough resources you can speed up the downtime Upgrade Process using more R3load parallel processes but this will depend in how many CPU's and memory you have. Usually each R3load process will take around 512Mb of RAM and you can use 1.5 R3load processes per CPU.
    I have used this numbers given to us by SAP and did not have any problem at all.
    Good luck,

  • Upgrade Process from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012

    Hi All,
    I have gone thru multiple threads and would like to understand some steps in detail for me to upgrade SQL 2005 to SQL 2012.
    Below is my understanding and questions around it, I would be setting up a new environment with OS 2007/2008 with SQL 2012:
    Environment Readiness - Ensure new environment is ready with Win 2007/2008 with SQL 2012 Server
    Run Upgrade Advisor on the new environment and point to SQL 2005 instance
    Find the breaking/discontinued changes to be done before or After Upgrade
    <Question>: Over here I would like to know what should be our approach to make the required changes
    <Question>: Obviously I should not be making changes directly on the Production SQL 2005 server, then in that case should I take a backup/restore on the new SQL Server 2012 and then make the required changes to the database objects
    like (Table schema(changing column names/datatypes etc.), Stored Procedure, Functions & Views)
    <Question>: When I do a backup/restore I would also get the data along with it, so is this a recommended approach or should we only run/use the table schema creation scripts, fix the issues identified by UA and then do an Table to Table import,
    any thoughts on this ?
    <Question>: If I have to do a table to table Import then I should ensure there's a downtime during the Import or would I have any other better approach          
    So, basically my questions are around the approach of fixing the issues identified by UA and moving the database to SQL Server 2012 environment, I have around 300 databased to me upgraded.
    Please do let me know what should be a good/proven approach ? Pl. do let me know if you would need any more details from me.
    ---Umesh

    Thanks all for the replies.
    I am trying summarize what I have understood here:
    Document SQL Server 2005 environment details, Is there any tool which could give us all relevant details
    I would take the backup from the SQL Server 2005 Production environment and then restore the same in a test environment which again has SQL Server 2005 and Run Upgrade Advisor on that
    Probbaly run SQL Profiler as well to find out the deprecated changes to be done
    I should fix all the breaking, discontinued changes on the Test system identified by UA
    I should fix all the deprecated changes on the Test system identified by SQL Profiler
    Steps 3 & 4 should give me the changed scripts for all database objects (i.e. Table Schema, Stored Procedures, Functions & Views)
    <Question> Perform test, I understand this acitivity test can be captured by having SQL profiler running in the background on the SQL Server 2005 production environment where we can identify some days in a week or a month where maximum activity is
    expected to ensure we cover most the scenarios, let me know is this approach looks fine or is there a better approach
    Now, with regards to acutal upgrade I need to identify a time window where in less activity is done during which I could have a downtime for the actual SQL Server 2005 production environment
    Post downtine, I should do a BackUp for all databases from SQL Server 2005 production environment
    Test on environment readiness of SQL Server 2012 can be compared against the documentation done as part of the first Step
    <Question> Ideally I should a restore first in the new environment which has SQL Server 2012
    <Question> Then run the Scripted changes where we fixed all the breaking, discontinued & deprecated changes
    <Question> Does above sequence of Step 9 & 10 make sense or is there a better approach of doing it
    <Question> Post Upgrade and running of changed scripts, I should run the Upgrade Advisor again and see if everything looks fine
    <Question> Perform test again which we ran on SQL Server 2005 Test environment
    <Question> These steps should complete the Upgrade process.
    Please do let me know if the above sequence look ok to all of you and does it really work in a practical scenario, do let me know your feedback or any change in sequence/process or any other tools that can be used here.
    Thanks Again ...

  • Upgrade process to SAP Solution Manager 7.1

    Hello!
    We use SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) and plan to upgrade to the new SAP Solution Manager 7.1.
    We currently do not have Java Stack there.
    Some questions about Upgrade process
    1) Can a direct Upgrade from SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26)  to SAP Solution Manager 7.1 be realized?
    2) Should we first install Java Stack and then proceed with the Upgrade or otherwise?
    3) Will Windows 32 Bit and None-Unicode Version of SAP Solution Solution Manager be supported?
    It will be great to get some helpful information.
    kind regards

    Hello!
    Trying to answer your question
    1)  As described in note 1244225, there no restriction to upgrade the Solman EHP1 to solman 7.1. Refer to the section:
    In case you do not participate in this current Solution Manager 7.1 beta shipment there are no  restrictions for implementing now SP stack 25 and upgrading in the future to an equivilant SP stack of release 7.1."
    2)  The Solman EHP1 must always be a dual stack system, I am not sure,  how you are  running the Solman EHP1 without a Java Stack, you should have one.
    3) I am not sure if there will be a Solman 7.1 32Bit Non-UNICODE version. But,  SAP recommends to run Solution Manager on Unicode (see also customer letter on http://service.sap.com/Unicode).  At solman EHP1 there are some issues when running the system as Non_UNICODE, refer note 1383407.
    I am not sure if I could clarify all your doubts.
    You may check the following URL:
    http://service.sap.com/instguides

    - Solution Manager 7.1
    As this is a very new software there is few documents in it, but soon you should see a upgrade guide here.

  • Siebel 7.8 -- 8 upgrade process and environments

    Hi,
    I'm new to Siebel Upgrade and I'm trying to figure out the upgrade process searching on the bookshelf and white papers (best practices).
    I still can't comprehend the upgrade architecture and where the new Siebel sw (for ex. Siebel 8 in my case) has to be installed:
    Let's suppose to have 3 starting environments: development (7.8), test/production replication (7.8) and production (7.8).
    According to the bookshelf there's an initial phase (and this is valid for development environment too) called "upgrade infrastructure" in which they talk about "upgrading" the server, gateway, SWSE, etc. and about installing Siebel software.
    For example at pag. 26 in Upgrade Guide version 8.1, during the development environment upgrade explanation, you can read:
    "...Upgrade the Gateway Name Server, Siebel Servers, and Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE).
    For information upgrading these Siebel Enterprise components, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
    3 - Install the Siebel Database Server files on the Siebel Server you will use to perform the upgrade.
    You only need to install the database server files for the database type that you are upgrading.
    4 Install language packs for your currently deployed languages and any new languages...."
    Now, starting with a 7.8 development environment, what do they mean: Do I need to install on the same development box (where the 7.8 already resides) also a new 8 development environment (server, gateway, etc.) in order to execute the development upgrade process?
    And then, should I install another new 8 environment on the Production/Test machine, in order to perform the production/test environment?
    Finally, should I use the test machine (once all is tested as the new production environment?
    Probably I'm a bit confused. Can you help me?
    Thank you,
    Best Regards

    Your upgrade process depends on how you want to carry out.
    For a Inplace upgrade, whicih means you will be using the existing hardware where earlier version exists, you need to uninstall the earlier version install the new version and the kick of your siebel database upgrade.
    The other process is where you obtain new hardware, in this case install new version of siebel software as per requirements and then start your siebel database upgrade. For this you may need to replicate your existing siebel database.
    This process applies to all the environments.

  • IDSM-2 upgrade process questions.

    Hello,
    I started a new job and have been tasked with looking into what we can do with the IDSM-2 module we have in our 6509. The company has not been using the module so it hasn't been updating in a few years. I do not have a current license so I know I cannot install new signature updates, but what I would like to do is upgrade the software to version 7.0(5a)E4. Once I have it upgraded I would like to configure it in our environment and then see about getting a signature license.
    I have a few questions regarding the upgrade process, and could use some assistance.
    First the IDSM is currently running version 5.1(3)S256.0. From what I have read I don't believe I can go directly to 7.0(5a)E4 so my Planned Upgrade Path is: 5.1(3)S256.0 -> 5.1(8)E3 -> 7.0(5a)E4.
    Am I able to upgrade this way or is there another recommended way that I should do this upgrade?
    The files I have for this are below, will they be enough or am I missing any?
    Do I apply them in the order listed?
    Can I apply all of these files from the IDM GUI?
    IPS-K9-5.1-8-E3.pkg
    IPS-engine-E3-req-5.1-8.pkg <--- Is this included in the above file?
    IPS-K9-r-1.1-a-5.1-8-E3.pkg
    IPS-K9-7.0-5a-E4.pkg
    IPS-K9-r-1.1-a-7.0-5a-E4.pkg
    I plan on backing up my configuration first just in case, but should this process have any affect on the configuration?
    I also saw that the upgrade will convert the configuration, so should I back it up a second time between the 5.1(8)E3 and 7.0(5a)E4 step?
    Will there be any effect on network traffic or downtime during this process?
    Is there any thing else I need to be aware of or that I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance,
    Will

    Hi Will. Since you indicated that this sensor has not been in-use, it would be quickest/easiest to simply re-image it directly to the desired version (7.0(5a)E4). Additional benefits of doing this are that the sensor's filesystem will be created clean, OS/binaries cleanly installed, no potential config conversion issues, etc.
    Step-by-step instructions for doing this can be found here.
    And, the System Recovery Image file you will need ('IPS-IDSM2-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.0-5a-E4.bin.gz') can be downloaded here.
    Will there be any effect on network traffic or downtime during this process?
    That depends on whether the sensor is configured in Promiscuous Mode or Inline [VLAN Pair] Mode. You can determine this from the Catalyst config. If the sensor is installed in Inline [VLAN Pair] Mode, then certainly the re-image (and even just upgrade) could be traffic-impacting (if there is no alternative/backup path for traffic to take), as in both scenarios, the sensor is rebooted and not available for ~10 minutes (during which time, it would not be forwarding traffic (if it were installed Inline)). Additionally, since re-imaging results in a clean/default config, if the sensor were configured Inline, that portion of the config would have to be re-input post-reimage so that the sensor would know to forward traffic accordingly again. Details about the modes can be found here.

Maybe you are looking for
