OS / APPS / Data Migration Plan ??

My current setup is a G5 Quad with 150 GB Raptor (OS & APPS) and 750 GB Seagate (DATA) drives. I will be purchasing a Mac Pro 2.66 this week and want to use my current drives - so I'll simply swap them into the new Mac Pro - easy. However, this involves a move from PowerPC cpu to Intel - so should I load the OS onto my Raptor via the archive and install method or do a complete reinstall of th OS and reload the apps from their original disks? The migration assisstant has had mixed reviews.
My main apps are CS3, Aperature, some video files and a number of BIG Keynote and Powerpoint presentations.
Thanks

You have to reformat the Raptor, Partition in DU "Options..." from "APL" to "GUID."
Do NOT migrate PPC applications. Reinstall is the only safe way. Data and prefs are safe and fine. Mixed reviews? It is horrible if used to import PPC applications. You will have molasses on your hands.
I'd reformat the Seagate as well.
With four drive bays that should be rather easy, and with some backup drives so you can clone the Raptor to preserve your files as is before reformatting, then clone the OEM drive to Raptor before updating, hence, leaving the OEM as backup system drive as well.

Data Migration of Contracts with periodic billing and revenue recognition

Hello Experts,
I am trying to develop a legacy data migration plan for Contracts with periodic billing plan and revenue recognition.
Example of the scenario is given below:
Customer signed a contract for one year starting 01/01/2009.
Customer is billed quartely, billed in advance.
SAP going live on 04/01/2009
Customer is billed for 3 months and also for initial set up fees.
Revenue recognition is done monthly.
We have to migrate this contract to SAP.
Billing document posting may be necessay as it affects revenue recognition which spans across the total contract period.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks A Lot
Anil

Hi Anil
How did you manage this? We also had the same problem in one of our contracts and what we did was that we copied the contracts from the legacy with the full value. That is suppose SAP went live on 1st April, 2009 and the contract was created on 1st January 2009 for a value of suppose 100 USD, with the first billing being done on 1st Jan for 33.33 USD for 4 months. We first created the contract with a validity from 1st Jan 2009 in the new system. We billed it with a billing type that we created that did not actually create new accounting entries as the accounting entries had already been created in the legacy system. In the new system then we recognised the revenue till the go live, so that the actual value remaining of the contract reduced. Then we started the billing plan of the contract from 1st of April 2009 for the remaining amount. So next invoice was created on 1st april for 33.33 USD. Can you share your solution.

Just bought a used MacBook pro after my previous died. I want to migrate my applications, data, etc from a time machine backup of the old computer to the new. Will this affect, or overwrite the Apps., data, etc existing on the new machine?

Just bought a used MacBook pro after my previous died. I want to migrate my applications, data, etc from a time machine backup of the old computer to the new. Will this affect, or overwrite the Apps., data, etc existing on the new machine?

No. Only those Apps that are not installed on the new will migrate over.

I have a problem with Imovie. Just brought an macbook 15 retina , iLife install and Imovie was working. I than did a data migration from my old macbook pro and now it crashes on start up. I tried to re-install from app store but no option to re-install

Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

Will I lose my app data when migrating to another Computer?

Hi all,
My father is wanting to unlock his iPhone 4 (5.0.1) so he can use it overseas. Up until now he has synced his iPhone and the data to my Computer, a MacBook Pro running 10.7.4 Lion. We have decided that it would be best for him to discontinue using my Mac and start using his PC to sync his content (Music, Tones, Apps and Photos) as he will need to restore his iPhone to complete the unlock. So far we have copied all his music, tones and the apps themselves to his machine. However we have only started to sync his music and tones with the iPhone. We are concerned that if we start to sync the apps then his app data (such as 1Password Entries) will be deleted when the apps replace themselves during the 'erase and sync'. We really want his iPhone to be solely dependant on his own computer so that he doesn't have to keep coming to me for 'this' and 'that' album.
Also as a side note he is currently syncing his Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream and Documents & Data with his iCloud account.
Thankyou so much for all your help
James

You're welcome.
So I am safe to continue to transfer music and movies to my phone, without harming my contacts so long as I keep those check boxes in the info tab unchecked? Correct?
Correct. Whatever you select to be synced or transferred from your computer to the iPhone via your iPhone sync preferences is synced or transferred and whatever is not selected is not synced or transferred. Some data is synced and some if just a transfer process from your computer to the iPhone.
Also, what do I do if I want to start syncing contacts now (to prevent this worry of mine in the future)? If I want to create a backup of my contacts right now, is that something I'd need to do manually? I can't just "download" my list of contacts from my phone to my computer, right?
Select the supported application on your computer for syncing contact information and calendar events with your iPhone. If this application or applications are void of any data, enter at least one contact in the supported address book application and one calendar event in the supported calendar application before syncing.
There is no way to backup this data on the iPhone.

Unable to copy data in planning

Hi Gurus,
I am unable to copy data using "copy data" in planning web application.
getting an error "MSG_COPY_DATA_OPTIONS_FAILED: An error occurred while running the specified calc script. Check the log for details."
here are the steps I checked:
I checked whether planning and essbase are in sync.
The DBA team says that there was no spikes in memory.
when I take small data set it see data in target but the status in Job Console says processing for the past 45 min.
I was copying only one month of data.
please help.

I see you must of read the two Oracle Support articles by what you wrote in your post.
Have you checked the essbase app log? also it sometimes help to restart the planning web app when it happens.
Also have a read of Re: Where is the calc script created when running the 'Copy Data' function ?
Cheers

Data migration

Dear all my friends,
please help to share me about data migration before go-live FI system.
i plan to migrate GL acct balance, AP/AR open item and last 3 months historical data.
please help to show me : how should i do ?
thanks !

1. Normal GL Accounts: In this case line items are not required and totals are to be updated in SAP. This can be done using GL fast entry if the number is not too high.
2. Open Item Managed GL Accounts: All the open line items are required to be uploaded in SAP from Legacy in order to clear them. Hence, a LSMW / BDC program has to be developed to upload the line items.
BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST - for GL/AP/AR
BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST - for AP
BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST - for GL
GL Balance
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Dr GL a/c Credit Data migration Account or Clearing Account
3. Customer & Vendor Open Items: All open line items in Customer and Vendor Accounts have to be brought in into SAP. For this also a LSMW / BDC program needs to be developed and upload the line items.
Vendor Balances
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Credit Vendor a/c (individually) and Dr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
Customer balances
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Dr Customers a/c (individually) and Dr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
4. Asset Accounting: In case asset accounting is implemented the individual balances of each asset (Gross Value and Accumulated Depreciation) have to be uploaded using transaction AS91. For this also you need to develop a LSMW / BDC program. Further, you also need to update the GL Accounts related to Asset Accounts with totals for each asset class T.Code OASV.
For uploading the Assets
AS91 -> for uploading assets in AA
OSAV --> for uploading assets in GL entry Dr Asset (individually) Cr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
You can use LSMW for uploading all these things
After uploading all, your data migration account will become zero

Questions on data migration....

Hi all,
I'm currently facing the problem that my colleagues from the data migration team are about to migrate legacy data to the new system using BDC/LSMW.
1.) Is it true that the system bypasses any checks concerning number ranges (even if the range doesn't exist at all)? Example: They're about to migrate master inspection characteristics. Let's assume that the old MIC had the number 1234 and the new MIC is supposed to have the number 0001_1234. Do I need to create and assign the external number range?
2.) If I don't need the number range described under 1.) and I do the migration accordingly (again NO number range created and/or assigned). What would happen if I access this MIC in the future and try to use it in an inspection plan. Would the system reject the usage because there's no number range or would it work normally?
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated. Please let me know as well, if I need to post it in a different forum.
Regards,
Bobby

Hi Boban,
Defining of number ranges before you transfer the masters is must. For numeric titles use SAP std number range for Alphabetic one use external range.

How can I temporarily remove games from my iPhone without losing the app data included?

My iPhone 5 is running low on space so I plan on cleaning it out soon. I have a lot of games on my iPhone with app data included that I don't play as often. I was planning on removing these temporarily because some day I might want to play them again but I'm afraid I won't have my progress anymore. Ex: My levels conquered on Cut The Rope or my worlds on Minecraft PE.
So is there a solution out there for me to be able to temporarily remove my games without losing their app data? All feedback is greatly appreciated and I how there is a way to do this!

The only way to recover the data for a deleted app would be to restore from a backup made before you deleted the app. Apps and their data are integral to eachother, so deleting one deletes the other.
If you have a backup, you could restore from that to restore an App's data, but a restore is also an all or nothing option - the restore will restore everything to the state of the backup, not single or selective items.
Other than that, there is no way to acheive what you wish - if you delete the app you delete its data.

Data Migration From Peoplesoft , JDEdwards To SAP.

Hi,
This is kiran here we are doing data Migration work from Peoplesoft And JDEdwards to SAP.in SAP side it involves Master data tables Related to Customer, Vendor, Material. and Meta data tables related to SD, MM, FI. We as SAP Consultant identified Fields from above tables and marked them as Required, Not required, And Mandatory. The Peoplesoft and JDEdwards flocks come up with the same from their side. Then we want map the Fields. as I am new to data Migration any body suggest me what are the steps involves in data Migration How to do Data Mapping in Migration Thanks in advance.
Thanks

Hi Kiran,
Good... Check out the following documentation and links
Migrating from one ERP solution to another is a very complex undertaking. I don't think I would start with comparing data structures. It would be better to understand the business flows you have currently with any unique customizations and determine how these could be implemented in your target ERP. Once this is in place, you can determine the necessary data unload/reload to seed your target system.
A real configuration of an ERP system will only happen when there is real data in the system. The mapping of legacy system data to a new ERP is a long difficult process, and choices must be made as to what data gets moved and what gets left behind. The only way to verify what you need to actually run in the new ERP environment is to migrate the data over to the ERP development and test environments and test it. The only way to get a smooth transition to a new ERP is to develop processes as automatic as possible to migrate the data from the old system to the new.
Data loading is not a project that can be done after everything else is ready. Just defining the data in the legacy system is a huge horrible task. Actually mapping it to one of the ERP system schemas is a lesson in pain that must be experienced to be believed.
The scope of a data migration project is usually a fairly large development process with a lot of proprietary code written to extract legacy data, transform and load the data into the ERP system. This process is usually called ETL (extract, transform, load.)
How is data put into the ERP?
There is usually a painfully slow data import facility with most ERP systems. Mashing data into the usually undocumented table schema is also an option, but must be carefully researched. Getting the data out of the legacy systems is usually left to the company buying the ERP. These export - import processes can be complex and slow, sometimes specialized ETL tools can help, sometimes it is easier to use what ever your programmers are familiar with, tools such as C, shell or perl.
An interesting thing to note is that many bugs and quirks of the old systems will be found when the data is mapped and examined. I am always amazed at what data I find in a legacy system, usually the data has no relational integrity , note that it does not have much more integrity once it is placed in an ERP system so accurate and clean data going in helps to create a system that can work.
The Business Analysts (BAs) that are good understand the importance of data migration and have an organized plan to migrate the data, allocate resources, give detailed data maps to the migrators (or help create the maps) and give space estimates to the DBAs. Bad BAs can totally fubar the ERP implementation. If the BAs and management cannot fathom that old data must be mapped to the new system, RUN AWAY. The project will fail.

SAP Data Migration from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Hey All
We are planning to upgrade SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6 in near future. I am aware that data migration is not an issue as upgrade takes care of it all. What we are concerned with is that if after a few days of upgrade when the system is functional and users have performed some quantum of transactions on it, in case if the system fails then and we have to revert back to R/3 4.6C how can we get back all the information that we processed on ECC back to R/3.
I would like to know if anyone who has performed an upgrade, had some kind of fail over strategy for such a situation. Is there some tool we can use for this purpose?
Regards
Bilal Nazir

Simple answer: not possible.
> I would like to know if anyone who has performed an upgrade, had some kind of fail over strategy for such a situation. Is there some tool we can use for this purpose?
No - there is no tool.
Table structures change, update programs changed - it's not possible to "roll back" that to a date and re-do it on 4.6c again.
Do minimize the risk I would copy the production system to a sandbox, do the upgrade and let the (key-) users test their functionality intensively.

How can we do the data migration between Oracle Applications and SAP R/3.

Hi All,
How can we do the data migration between Oracle Applications and SAP R/3 system.What are all the possible ways to move bulk data from Oracle Apps to SAP r/3 system.

Awaiting for best possible solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Dharmaraju

the 3rd party tool is ETL , you can use ETL tool and the prepare the load files then you can use LSMW method to upload the data to SAP.
