Options for Planning in Upgrade

We're currently running BPS in SEM 3.2 and are upgrading our BW to BI 2004s.  We have the option of either:
a) Upgrading SEM to 6.0 as we upgrade our BW...will we have to go to 4.0, or can we go direct to 6?
b) Moving BPS to BW 2004s
c) Migrating BPS to IP in 2004s
What are the functionality impacts from these three options?  Are there any inherent risks associated?  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Sean,
    Here are some thoughts on your questions below:
A) you should be able to go directly from 3.2 (BW 3.1) directly to 6.0 (NW04s BI).  An intermediate step is not necessary.
b) not sure exactly what you are suggesting with this.  If you mean stop using SEM-BPS and use BW-BPS this can't really be done.  Once you've installed SEM on your BW box it's there forever.  Therefore you'd have to upgrade to SEM 6.0.  I believe the only way you could avoid SEM 6.0 is a fresh install of BW.  (not sure if I'm understanding your question correctly)
c)  This option would allow you to enhance the frontend experience for the end users and allow you to leverage the BW frontend components (queries, structures, variables, etc.) in planning.  The drawbacks are that there isn't currently a migration tool so you'll have to do some rework to get there.  In addition if you're using some of the SEM only functions (allocations, etc.) thost functions don't yet exist in IP so they'd have to still be executed via SEM-BPS or rebuilt in fox.

  • Options for hard disk upgrade on my MBP 15" (late 2007 - Santa Rosa)

    I suspect this is a common question here in the discussions forum, judging by the similar questions posed by other members.
    I am however, half-way into my research on hard disk options for that matter and would like to ask some specific questions in order to ensure that my upgrade is not problematic (I have been quite happy with my MBP so far :-))
    The model I have is the A1226 (Intel Core Duo, 2.2Ghz, 4GBs. This currently has the 111.79GB Fujitsu MHW2120BH hard disk, which is almost full now; hence, the need for an upgrade.
    I quite fancy the WD Scorpio Blacks, particularly the 500GB ones, even though the 320GB ones will also do to a lesser extent. My questions on this brand/type are:
    (1) Will it have an impact on the heat generated inside the Macbook (vs. my current situation)?
    (2) Will it have an impact in the battery consumption (vs. my current situation)?
    (3) Will there be an issue with the SATA speed? My MBP supports 1.5GB/s while this drive operates at 3GB/s.
    (4) If I opt for the respective model with the free fall sensor, will this function work with my MB? (NB: Not sure if relevant, but the System Profiler reports: Suddem Motion Sensor: State = Enabled)
    My aim is to clean up my current disc, upgrade it to the new bigger one and then re-install Mac OS X Leopard, upgrade to Snow Leopard and then re-install all apps. All files are backed up anyway with TimeMachine, so no issue there. If you can think of any potential issue with the upgrade and what I intend to do further after, please share it.
    The machine is out of warranty - but that doesn't mean that I want to cause damage here...
    Thanks.

    (5) What other safe options are there for upgrade drives with a 500GB capacity?
    For loading/unloading heads, I'm not sure one model/brand has been found to be better than another.
    Can I avoid this problem if I get the Scorpio Black 500GB w/o the free fall sensor? (Model: WD5000BEKT on http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=854).
    The SMS conflict, yes.
    In such a case, will Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor work?
    Yes.
    Or to paraphrase, can SMS park the heads of a WD hard disk w/o the free fall sensor?
    Yes, that is what it was developed for. Since that time, more and more HD manufacturers have incorporated it into the HD itself. There are two schools of thought on this: 1. The "SMS" built in to a HD is more properly "mated" to the HD mechanism itself, so could save a nanosecond or two engaging. 2. In the nanoseconds it takes to engage, a nanosecond here or there is not going to matter. Personally, I believe the latter. There is no need for an "SMS" enabled HD in an SMS enabled Mac. I'm sure some others believe differently.
    (NB: Interesting that the issues with SMS and the WD Scorpio have been documented in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuddenMotionSensor).
    Ah, good old wiki. I hadn't seen that before. Thanks for sharing.
    No mention there of whether it is applicable to the drives with the free fall sensor or the ones w/o it (or even both).
    It actually does state it is in reference to the "aftermarket hard drives already equipped with anti-shock features." That writeup is dated however, as I believe there are more issues reported with Seagate these days.

  • Options for video card upgrade to quad-core G5?

    What are my options? I bought the powermac quad-core G5 with the base video card (geoforce 6600); now I want to upgrade, but it seems that one cannot buy the other video cards (e.g. geoforce 7800 or quadro fx 4500) on their own, but only as a package with a new powermac. Do I have any options? The ATI X800 looks great but it is an AGP card and the pmac is PCI

    So far I didn't get a card from Apple to upgrade.:-(
    But on the Aperturetricks website, Scott says, that I got an upgrade.
    Don't know how.

  • What are my options for a data plan + upgrade?

    So my old phone (Samsung Intensity) broke today, and I'm looking to upgrade to a smartphone. I would prefer an iPhone, but really it's not that big of a deal if I get a Droid. I'm eligible for an upgrade currently. What are my options for a smartphone and a data plan? I'm looking for what's the cheapest option as far as this goes. People tell me an iPhone is free with an upgrade, and that the cost is $20 a month, but I just want to be sure.

    Unless you have an old calling plan, you should be able to add a tiered data plan for your new smartphone (i.e., $30 for 2 GB).  If you switched to the Share Everything plan, your monthly cost would be $40 line access + at least $50 for 1 GB data (includes unlimited minutes/texts and mobile hotspot, although the hotspot data usage comes out of your data plan), plus, of course, taxes/fees (and insurance, if applicable).
    You can check pricing for phones via your on-line MyVerizon account if you click on the Upgrade button.  If you are mainly interested in free phones (keep in mind that there's a $30 upgrade fee), there's the Nokia Lumia 822, Spectrum 2, Droid Razr M, iPhone 4, Galaxy Stellar, Marauder, Rhyme, and the Lucid.  Several of those are 3G phones.

  • Windows 7 upgrade: discs will include the option for a 32 to 64-bit upgrade via a clean install?

    I would like to know whether the Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade discs will include the option for a 32 to 64-bit upgrade via a clean install?  I called Mentor today and was told the answer is no, but I was hoping someone here could tell me differently.
    If "no" is truly the answer, I would like to voice my complaint: The upgrade discs from Microsoft (i.e. the retail upgrade discs) include both the 32 and 64-bit versions, so I don't completely understand why Lenovo's upgrade program doesn't offer the same thing.  I purchased my T500 in August, and back then Vista Ultimate 64 was not offered, so I chose Vista Ultimate 32 thinking that I could later upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64.  This assumption was based off of the info. on Microsoft's website indicating that all upgrades would contain the 32 and 64-bit versions.  I even customized my computer with 4 gigs of RAM thinking that I could take advantage of the extra gig once I installed Windows 7 64. 
    I don't understand what Lenovo or Mentor Media have to gain by restricting a 32 to 64-bit install.  I voiced this opinion to Mentor Media over the phone, who responded by saying that I should be happy since I am receiving a "free" upgrade.  I don't think this is an accurate assessment for two reasons: (1) I had to pay $17.03 for shipping, and I still haven't received the upgrade and (2) The total cost of my computer was almost $3,000, and the purchase was made a mere few weeks before Windows 7 was released.  $3,000 is a lot of money.  I waited for the details of the Windows 7 Upgrade Program to be announced BEFORE purchasing my machine.  When I finally bought my computer I accounted Windows 7 into the price I was paying.  In addition, when I bought this computer I did so expecting good customer service as a given.  Not providing a 64-bit upgrade without a rational explanation as to why does not qualify as appropriate customer service.
    As most of you know, 4 gigs of RAM is useless with a 32-bit OS.  Also, NOW Lenovo is building new T500s with the option of having Windows 7 Ultimate 64 (why wasn't Vista Ultimate 64 offered when I bought my computer???).  And the price for choosing Windows 7 Ultimate 32 is EQUAL to the price for choosing Windows 7 Ultimate 64, which proves that there is no cost difference.  I just want to know what Lenovo has to gain by denying customers a 64-bit upgrade?  There would really be no additional cost since as I mentioned before, Microsoft's retail upgrade includes the 32 and 64-bit OS on one disc.  If anything I would think that it's costing Lenovo money to strip the 64-bit install from the upgrade discs.
    Can anyone please address my problems?  Do you think there is anyone at Lenovo I could contact to voice my opinions?  I have been a loyal Thinkpad customer for over 5 years now, and I expect better from Lenovo.  Thank you for reading!

    Is there any way to request a 64-bit OEM?  Why should Lenovo care whether I want a 32-bit or 64-bit as long as it's the same edition (Ultimate edition)?
    if your system shipped with a 32-bit version of vista then you will be sent 32-bit windows 7 upgrade media.   the reason for this is two-fold.
    first, because this is upgrade media, it's impossible to install a 64-bit version of windows over a 32-bit version.   doing so would require a clean installation and upgrade media simply won't allow this.   this is the case with retail media, too.   if you had 32-bit vista installed and wanted to upgrade it to 64-bit using retail media, you'd have to wipe your system or set up a dual-boot.
    second, the COA (certificate of authenticity) on the bottom of your system is for vista.   because of this, your new license is of an upgrade from vista to 7.   this is how microsoft licenses it and it is their policy, not lenovo's.   microsoft's policy with OEMs is that you must install vista first, then upgrade to 7 (unless, of course, you purchased your system native with 7 on or after the 22nd).   since your original lenovo preload is of a 32-bit OS, the issue becomes circular and you'll have to refer again to the first reason.
    i understand your frustration and wish this stuff were made easier for everyone.   it's repetative reading post after post of people with 4GB installed who don't understand the limitations of a 32-bit environment.   i wish both manufacturers and users switched to 64-bit OSes sooner.   the same thing happened when the industry went from 16-bit windows 3.11 to 32-bit windows NT4/95 and limitations went from 16KB all the way up to 4GB (which, in 1995, no one thought we'd ever exceed).   the difference is that people were complaining on BBSes over 14.4k modems instead of on GUI-based forums using broadband connections.   times sure have changed.

  • Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application.

    Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application. But on my iPad now there are to application present Docemnt-2 (Free) and Document-2. I am not able to open any existing document using the upgraded version of application. How do I connect all the existing txt,PPT,XLS doccument to the new upgraded Document-2 application and then to edit it on my iPad.

    As suggested I had deleted the free application and did a hard restart the iPad. I have again copied the document using iTunes. But I am not able to edit any document using this app. Document 2 (paid version) supports editing features of the txt/ xls /ppt files. Is there any problem while loading the Document 2 app. If I reload then do I need to purchase again?

  • Any "discounted upgrade" option for new Acrobat 9 buyers when X is released?

    I'm looking at buying Acrobat and as of right now, I notice that Adobe's website is only promoting the pre-ordering of version X (I can't even find an option to buy version 9 on here but can find it on Amazon and stuff).
    I need to purchase a version of the software ASAP, but I'm just wondering:  If I were to buy 9 now (right before release of X) is Adobe going to have an upgrade option that will allow me to upgrade to X without having to pay full price for the software?  I'm looking at getting the highest level option (the $800 one).
    Hopefully I posted this in the right section of the forum...
    Thanks.

    Thank you, George.
    So, in other words, that means if I buy now through Amazon, I won't get the upgrade option (since it's a 3rd part site), despite the new release announcement, correct?
    Is there a link anywhere on Adobe to buy version 9 now so I do qualify for the X upgrade?  I can't seem to find one...

  • Forecast is not in the LOV for Plan options

    I created a forecast and have one item in it. It is forecasted with one date. I saved it and go to the plan's options under the organization tab. Under demand schedules I do not see my newly created forecast in LOV.
    Thanks,

    Be sure to collect that new forecast so it is available for planning.

  • Best option for upgrading to CS 6

    Hello,
    I need some help. I currently have CS 5 and 5.5 installed across 7 PCs and 1 MAC within the marketing department in my company. What would be the best option for upgrading all of them to CS 6 Master Collection. (how many PCs can I use a license on? How many licenses would I have to purchase to install on all the machines?)
    Thanks.

    There is no ambiguity here: You buy 7+1 licenses. Though you have 2 activations per license, they are not meant to run your facility on the cheap. I suggest you read the EULA....

  • Is Apple or any App Developer planning on improving ONE HANDED options for iPhone 6 Plus?

    On my new iPhone 6+ even with the "reachability" double tap of the button where the top screen drops down, I still find the keyboard and icons to the far left so out of reach I MUST use two hands :-(.
    I may have to return the phone as I MUST be able to truly use it with one hand in many of my situations. But if App developers or Apple are planning to make a apps or options to make the 6 Plus truly usable with one hand, I will keep it for sure.
    Example idea: Allow MULTIPLE options for what happens when one "double taps the button." Keep Option 1 the way it is now (the top scrolls down). Make Option 2 like this: the entire screen simply scales down into bottom right corner so it appears to be the same size in hand as the iPhone 5 screen--the keyboard, icons, status icons, etc. ALL scale down so you use it with ease like the 5. Double tap again and it enlarges to the full screen.
    Does anyone know if any developer can make an app that can take over the button or does Apple restrict that only to themselves in which case are their rumors that they know this is an issue and plan to solve it?
    Mike :-)

    You didn't check all this out before you bought it? Yes, you should return it.
