OTM - supported methods for Cloning Transportation Management environments?

Does anyone know if there are currently any supported methods for cloning entire OTM environments?
OTM Admin Guide only mentions supported methods for Database-related objects, but nothing for Web or App tiers.
Oracle Support Note 549353.1 (over a year old) states:
You can not clone the OTM Software, you must run the full installer on your new instance.
You can, however, clone the database portion so that you can have the same data content. This is
documented in Note 1313815.1 Cloning Oracle Transportation Management Database Schemas.
Not sure the above still applies to current OTM release 6.3.1.
Thanks,
Paul S.

i'm very glad to read, from the article you referenced, that there's no performance hit. but that's only 1 of 2½ issues. i have some follow-up questions. perhaps we should take this to a forum instead of the knowledge base?
-what about prior issue #2 (securely wiping the drive)? is this easily and instantly doable? we'll ignore #3 (relying on microsoft gets ½ a point).
-with the encryption keys stored on the controller, doesn't using third-party encryption software mean the keys themselves aren't encrypted by a user pw, making it that much easier for someone with physical access to the drive to extract them from the firmware?
-if the controller is doing the encryption, why bother with bitlocker? is it so slightly-more-savvy-than-average joe can easily enable it, or so you don't have to write it into the firmware? (i'm being serious, not snarky--i'm a software developer myself.) personally, i'm dual-booting win7* and ubuntu 14, which means i need 2 separate encryption methods instead of just supplying my credentials at boot to decrypt the hd and then choosing which os to load.
-also, if i upgrade the windows os, ms requires the os volume to be decrypted first. this would obviously not be the case if windows was unaware that it was encrypted.
*last, what about those poor silly saps who are running win7 (or earlier)? i just read that win7 bitlocker doesn't support self-encrypting drives--it was an update as of win8. we're just out of luck? i realize you can't support everything, but win7 is still a ms-supported os, and it seems like a better service to (more of) your customers to enable full-disk encryption all the time.
thank you!

What is the Oracle supported method for backing up OCFS2?

Hi
My customer has been trying to backup Oracle Cluster File System (ver 2) with netbackup 6.5, but not via RMAN.
They want to know if this method of backing OCFS up is suppported?
But I think the supported method has to use a netbackup Oracle agent and RMAN
Can anybody confirm this please?
Regards
jethro_p

The recommended method is thru RMAN only. Directly backing up OCFS thru netbackup is not a reliable backup.
We faced an critical oracle error & the database went down. We are not able to bring the database with the direct backup thru veritas. Then we restored the database only thru rman backup.

Best method for merging two Informatica environments

Hi Experts, We have two environments Informatica 8.6.1 and 9.5.0 that we need to merge into a single one. Wanted suggestions on the best way to migrate. 1) Considering codepages are same, can 8.6.1 Deployment Groups be copied to 9.5.0 repository directly via Repository Manager (drag and drop)? 2) Is is necessary to bring the two environments to the same version before migrating anything? 3) What method out of the following would be the best: a. Copy Deployment Groups to 9.5.0 repository if 1) above is possible b. Export 8.6.1 stuff from Repository Manager and import the XML into 9.5.0 c. Any other method we may have missed Thanks in advance for your responses! Jimit

Service Manager 2012 R2 Looking for the SDK method for Select All management packs OMCI Connector

Hi all,
I'm working through a script that updates the OpsMgr CI connector's MP sync list after a MP import. What I want to do is a Select All to sync the OpsMgr MP's I just imported into Service Manager. Just like checking the Select All
box after refreshing the connector in the GUI.
I have been through the cmdlets and looked at the assemblies in VS. I can't find the method that does this.
I found IsNullPropertySkipped under
Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.Connectors.OpsMgr but that's it
And nothing in here
Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.Sdk.Connectors.Connector
Must be missing it, and am not having much luck with TechNet.
Thanks much–Drew

I'm afraid you won't find a quick'n'easy solution for this. I'll start out by saying I don't know if Powershell has any cmdlets for this..but I know you can use the .NET SDK via powershell to do whatever you need to do. So my post focuses on the SDK/C#. You
should be able to adapt it in Powershell.
The function you want to replicate (check-all) is unique to the Operations Manager CI connector implementation and, as such, my post below may sound a bit overwhelming.
Let me start by describing where an OM CI connector's selected management packs are stored. They're stored in the connector's workflow rule (specifically, in its WriteAction module). Take a look at the ServiceManager.LinkingFramework.Configuration
management pack where all OM CI connector rules are stored. Look for a rule that starts with "OMConnector." (the dot will be followed by some random string of text and "_SyncRule"). Take a look at the <WriteAction> and you'll see an <MPList>
node that contains a bunch of <MPInfo> nodes. Each <MPInfo> node represents a management pack that was selected in the OM CI Connector wizard.
So, if I understand what you're trying to do, when you import a new MP into Service Manager, you want to add that MP to the OM CI connector's sync list. First; if that MP doesn't exist in OpsMgr, there isn't much point to adding it to the sync list, so I'll
assume you want to add MPs to the sync list that also exist in OpsMgr). Second; there may be other constraints on what MPs you can actually choose in that OM CI wizard and it would be wise to respect those constraints in your own solution. In any case, you'll
have to modify the OM CI connector's rule's write action. There are a couple approaches you can try.
You can try using Microsoft's helper classes that were built for OM CI Connectors (check out the OpsMgrConnectorHelper class and related classes in the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.OpsMgrConnectorUtils.dll.
Also check out the OpsMgr connector wizard classes in the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.UI.Administration.dll).
The other possible approach is to modify the connector's rule directly using the SDK's ManagementPackRule and ManagementPackWriteActionModule classes. You can easily get your OM CI connector's rule using the management pack's "GetRule" method (or the EnterpriseManagementGroup's
Monitoring.GetRule method). The management pack rule has a "WriteActionCollection" which is a collection of ManagementPackWriteActionModule objects. There should be only one ManagementPackWriteActionModule in an OM CI rule's write action collection.
This object has a "Configuration" property..it contains a giant block of XML that holds all of the <MPInfo> nodes I mentioned earlier. So, you can modify that block of XML, then write the changes back to the management pack using the management pack's
AcceptChanges() method. Here's the basic structure:
ManagementPack mpLinkingFramework = emg.ManagementPacks.GetManagementPack(new Guid("50DAAF82-06CE-CACB-8CF5-3950AEBAE0B0")); //ServiceManager.LinkingFramework.Configuration
ManagementPackRule mpr = mpLinkingFramework.GetRule("<my connector's rule's name>");
ManagementPackWriteActionModule mpwam = mpr.WriteActionCollection[0];
String myConfig = mpwam.Configuration; //This is the XML block you want to update
myConfig = "<a modified configuration with my new <MPInfo> node>";
mpwam.Configuration = myConfig;
mpLinkingFramework.AcceptChanges();
Please note I haven't personally tried modifying an OM CI connector's rule using this method and I can't promise it will work..you'll definitely want to try it in a test environment first. But I can say I have modified my own connectors (and other write actions)
using this technique and it works fine. I just can't say for sure how it might affect an OM CI connector since I haven't tried it myself.
Though my post here is definitely _not_ a solution, hopefully it will give you some guidance on how you might approach your solution.
Maybe someone else here has personally used the OM CI connector classes and can give you some better insight.

How to setup approval procedure for extended transport management system?

Hi,
We got dev and QA system in our ECC system landscape.
We got extened transport control activated between dev and qa system.
In cosolidation taget group i got 2 clients from dev and one qa golden client listed in this target group.
Havoing said that, i would like to set up approval process in such a way that before the transports released from dev golden client,they should pass the approval steps.
How would i configute that?.I was trying to search for notes or help links to help me with this task.
But i could not find anything.
Any help would be appreciated .

Is Paypal a supported Payment Method in Oracle Order Management?

Hi there -
Has anybody implemented Paypal as payment method for Oracle Order Management?
We are on 11510 and looking to add Paypal as payment method apart from existing Credit Card, ACH etc.
I found a very old (2008) note on metalink that says there is an enhancement request for this.
https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&doctype=HOWTO&id=351691.1
We use Paymentech as payment processor.
Let me know...
1. If it's supported with Oracle 11510
2. Anyone has any experience implementing it.
thanks,
Edited by: techy on Oct 25, 2010 12:56 PM

Hi Stephen-
First of all thanks for your response.
Please note that I am not talking about using Paypal as payment processor (similar to Paymentech) but I am talking about using "Paypal" payment method for getting payments from your customers.
As per my brief understanding, I know that Paypal too provides payment processing functionality where I can get my customer Credit Card, bank accounts etc. validated through paypal tool (I think it's call payflow pro similar to paymentech).
Again, we are on 11510 right now so R12 functionality may not be useful for us.
Also, we have already integrated and been using paymentech for payment processing for Credit Cards, ACH etc within 11510. There is no issue about that.
I hope this is clear.

RE: [REQ] Assisted management tools/methods for planshierarchies(imp/ex

Hi William, and all forté subscribers.
Thanks for your answers.
To discuss on honest basis, let's say we don't plan to buy any product yet.
But the 'small' forté code management is source of many problems.
We're interfacing the 'workspaces handling' with text-based source control
tools, and this (can) allows proper 'control'. Shame we can't build forté
applications from proper text files :)
Our issues are more about understanding the hierarchy between projects when
it's not documented. Therefore, quite a reverse-engineering point of view,
despite we stay in a " forte TOOL code " level.
For your information, we have Select, used as " reference " model, and as
interface to Express.
For the Issues I've expressed, here's my (current) status.
I learned 'b-tree' repositories have become standard for 3.0 (despite 2.0 had many),
and therefore we're extremely waiting for 'R.4.0' code management.
We've got a way to " visualize " plans depandancies from an exported workspace,
but this doesn't allow 'update' (lacks forté workspace cross-verification facility).
We've got another way to export a 'workspace' in both 'wex' and set of 'pex's,
and building the import script from the wex file using an intelligent grep/sed script.
Thanks for all your suggestions,

Subject: [REQ] Assisted management tools/methods
for plans hierarchies (imp/exports, supplier plans management & external
APIs control)
Hi,
I'm looking for cross-projects investigation tools, to
provide graphical understanding and management of
forté source code. Viewing/updating plans dependencies,
as well as managing external APIs calls are my
requirements.
I am not clear about this question. But I will give my best shot. Are
you looking for some form of "source profiling" or "reverse engineering"
tool where by it reads the Forte TOOL code and turn that into UML which
then can be displayed in graphical form. My understanding is that
SELECT's Enterprise has this capability for C/C++ code. They also work
closely with Forte so they might have something that will work with TOOL
code.
In order to manage international developments between
sites, applications have been split into 'components'.
Therefore, and to keep it simple, each component comes
out of a separate dedicated repository.
At integration and build time, those sets of source code
are merged together, supplier plans updated and
forté applications built.
Controlling UUIDs at export time keeps simple the reload
of new delivered versions.
But my issue is in the physical process to actually
(get) deliver(ed) those sets of source code.
Forté fscript allows to export classes, plans, or
workspaces.
Only 'plan exports' (pex) can provide a way to only
deliver plans which have to be delivered.
(i.e. without test projects, stubs or third party
products plans which could be part of the workspace).
Therefore, whereas an export script can easily be
automated (list plans, and then for each plan find it
and then export it with a meaningful name), the import
process can't, because of plans dependancies.
In order to assist that process, I would like to know if
any of you did find ways to :
1) Display in a tree view the plans hierarchy for a given
workspace, or for a given repository baseline
I don't think you can do it in Forte 3.0. But my I understanding is
that they will have this capability in Forte 4.0. But Forte people will
have more information.
2) Export from a given workspace plans as separate
files, as well as related import script (with proper sequence)
3) Get from a set of pex files a plans hierarchy and a
proper import script.
Current workaround has been first to 'batch load' all
the pex files until having them all loaded
(first go loads top providers, then more and more as
dependancies are resolved).
Another one has been spending time grep'ing from pex
files the 'includes' lines and designing on paper
the tree. But that's long and evolving.
Thanks for ideas and suggestions,

Maybe Hamish Speirs can explain it - it was his post in another thread that gave me the idea and commands to try (see http://forums.novell.com/forums/nove...r-10038-a.html).
We had a confluence of changes at the beginning of the semester (Sept) that no doubt helped contribute to the problem and yet also mask the real cause to a certain extent.
1. The Thawte cert expired and was replaced with a new cert - Thawte does not support doing renewals on NetWare. This happened around the start of Sept.
2. School semester begins. Thousands of students return.
3. We use Pcounter for pay-for-print and it uses httpstk to provide a webpage for students to authorize print jobs.
4. Printing activity in general goes way up.
5. All printers are Secure.
6. Apache, iPrint and httpstk all use the same Thawte certificate
7. The print server was also hosting the netstorage service which also uses the Thawte cert (via apache).
8. The print server was recently (August) virtualized (via p2v using the excellent Portlock Storage Manager)
Eventually I built a new NetWare vm to host print services and got a new cert so at least the netstorage and print services were no longer running together. I suspected at that point that the likely source of the abends was NetStorage since Nile and SSL were almost always involved in the abends.
After the separation the issues continued - so it wasn't netstorage's fault. Desparate searching of the 'net lead to H.'s post. The rest is history!
It has now been 9 days up uptime without a single nile/ssl related abend ( I had one abend in pcounter but services survived).

Need blogs for transport management at SOLMAN4.0SP11 and above

There are many blogs in this group but none of them is about transport management.
Please help provide some. Thanks a lot!
Best!

Hi,
Good Question...
Usually if the systems are connect to each other, the objects move from one system to other when the transports are released in background, That to depends on whether they have to be imported into the target system immediately or every 1hr(time frame) is defined by the basis team as per the requirement.
But if the systems are not connected, then after you release the transport request, the basis team will export the log/data files from the source system corresponding to the transport and import back to the target system. This is manual process and is similar to the automated process listed above.
Basis team uses from transaction to export and import these files..and i am not aware of them. Please get in touch with your basis team for the same.
Hope this helps

I will receive eMail from a POP3-Server that support encrypted transfer of passwords with the SASL-Methods "SCRAM-SHA-1" and "SCRAM-SHA-256" (successful tested with the command line tool 'mpop') but Thunderbird say that the Server does not support encrypted transfer of Passwords.
