Patch Assistant to Migrate from 11.1.1.1.0 to 11.1.1.2.0 - where is it?

Hi folks, I am upgrading an 11.1.1.1.0 Fusion Middlware/Discoverer installation to 11.1.1.2.0 (and then to 11.1.1.3.0), and have read in the documentation that I need the "patch assistant" to run the upgrade scripts. I've had a good look at the Fusion Middleware and Weblogic download pages, and while there is a patch scripts download, it doesn't contain patch assistant, which is supposed to be in a file named fmw11gR1ps1_patchassist.zip.
Has the location moved or has it been forgotten?

I too had a hard time finding this -- here is a link:

From this link, scroll down to Required Additional Software section, select Patch Scripts for all platforms.

Using DB Upgrade Assistant to migrate from 10.2.0.3

Can you use the DB Upgrade assistant to migrate from 10.2.0.2 to 11gR2 Or do you have to be on a higher release of the EE db (ie. 10.2.0.5) to use the migration assistant?
Thanks.

Hello,
this forum is dedicated for migrations of non-Oracle databases to Oracle, using the SQL Developer Migration Workbench.

How do I set up a proxy server for webmail services to assist in migrating from NMS 4.15p6 on NT to iMS 5.1 on HP-UX.

I want to have minimal if no downtime at all when moving the message store. iPlanet support hinted at an "unsupported" proxy server solution, and would give no further information. I am running the MMP with 5.1 and that supports IMAP and POP migration, but I need support for webmail services as well to complete the migration from NT to UNIX with minimal distruption of thousands of users. I am using the MoveUser utility to move the message store in hopes that will clear up some store corruption we have been seeing.

To get this in a 'supported' fashion you might want to wait until the iMS 5.2 release. iPlanet has said this release would include a webmail proxy/mmp server to do exactly what you desire.
A proxy server would not be a solution to your problem as it would have to have access and knowledge to the users mailhost attribute to determine to which host to route the webmail connection. The webmail proxy/mmp will have this functionality.
You might want to contact your iPlanet rep about this product and maybe you could get a copy of it as part of a beta program. I know iPlanet is always looking for oppourtunities for feedback like this.

Can I use Migration Assistant to migrate from a hard drive on the same computer?

I have a Mac Pro with spaces for four hard drives.
I currently have only one hard drive, with Mac OS X 10.6 on it.
I am getting a new, second hard drive (a Solid State Drive). I want it to be my primary drive, to install Mac OS X 10.6 on that and use that as the startup disk.
I want to leave my original hard drive in the computer as a secondary drive.
I understand that the Migration Assistant can only import settings from another, separate, Mac? Is that true?
Or is it possible to tell Migration Assistant to get the settings from this older hard drive, even though it is on the very same computer?
Thank you in advance for insights, suggestions, advice and ideas!

MA will transfer your current system preferences to the SSD regardless of where they come from.
BTW, you will need a special mounting sled for the SSD. You should find them at OWC.

HT4413 Can i use migration assistant to migrate from 10.8.5 to 10.5.8?

Moved back in to a house where my old imac is, want to migrate across from my newer macbook.
Having user creation issues.
Can i go from new to old?

Most likely not by using the Migration Assistant. If all you want is your data, then simplest is to create an admin account on the old machine using the same credentials as what's on the new one, then drag & drop stuff from the new to the old. Do note that anything dealing with Mail, iTunes, iPhoto, and Safari most likely won't work. That's the stuff in /username/Music and Pictires. and in /username/Library/Mail and Safari.

Do you run Pre-Upgrade Assistant when migrate from 10.1 to 10.2

Hello,
I tried to upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2 on Windows. Base on installation guide, you have to install 10.2 in a separate ORACLE_HOME, then run utlu102i.sql through SQL before run DBUA. Since I installed 10.2 without create start database because SID is same as 10.1. How to run pre-upgrade assistant? Or should I setup new SID for 10.2 and change it back after migrate database from 10.1 to 10.2.
Your assistance will be appreciated,

I'd suggest to check the "manual upgrade/migration" method described in upgrade doc.
As a summary:
utlu102.sql is just a step to verify some prereqs needed before going to 10.2
You'll need to shutdown your 10.1 DB. Copy your .ora files from 10.1.to 10.2; adjust them appropriately.
Set your Oracle_home to 10.2; keep same SID. Startup upgrade, then run catpatch.sql (if i remember correctly).
All these steps are well described in the manual.

Cannot use Migration Assistant to migrate from a Time Machine backup to a new Mac.

I have a supposedly valid Time Machine backup for both of the MacBook Pro's we have (had). My wifes is Pro is working but mine died. I am replacing it with a MacBook Air. Following the steps, I tried to Migrate all my Pro files and apps from a TM backup using the Migration Assistant but it stops at 'Looking for source' and never gets past this.
I have confirmed the wife's back up is valid using 'Enter Time Machine'. However, on that same Mac Pro, if I use the Migration Assistant, it does not find the hard drive, once again , getting stuck at 'Looking for source just like on the Mac Air.
I went back to BestBuy where I bought the Air and worked with the Apple Rep. He tried it himself on a Mac Pro they had in the store and got the same results.
We called this into MyApple and after elevating this to the next level, they still cannot explain it.
I have used this feature in the past prior to upgrading to Mavericks so I am wondering if the fault is there?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave

I may have solved this (partly). A search reveal A LOT of peoplel having the same issue. One solution put forward was that the Time Machine backups were not complete. I noticed in mine, non of the backups for a quite a while have no Applications or System files backup. The solution was to do a TM reset. I did that and ran a new backup of the one MacBook Pro that is still working. After it was complete, the backup had the Applications and System data in it. I was able to open the Migration ssistant and it found the drive.
Now I just have to hope that the repair shop can salvage my malfuncitoning MB Pro so I can solve the main issue either by Migrating fromht MB Pro or make a new back up of the MB Pro after TM reset and use that for the migration. Won't till tomorrow (hopefully).

Using Migration Assistant to migrate from a disk

Hi
Long story short:
iMac G5 > screen went fuzzy > logic card fried > extracted and converted disk into an External HD
(i.e., G5 iMac converted into a brick!)
The question:
Is it possible to use Migration Assistant to recognise and migrate my data from this disk?
Thanks
Jai

Will it still work?
Yes, but see Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated for some relevant info.
Also, how selective can I be with what I migrate across?
You can individually select to transfer user accounts (all or some), all network and other system settings, all applications in the /Applications folder (but not individual ones), and all other files and folders.

Brand New Mini - Can't Migrate from Old

OK, Santa brought a brand new mini to replace my trusty 2007 mini. I fired it up and tried to use migration assistant to migrate from the 2007. First I tried it via network. It got to the screen where it showed the old mini as the source but then just sat there with the buzz saw spinning and 'looking for other computers'. I don't understand why it was still looking...it had found the one that it needed. So I plug my Time Machine disk into it. It gets to about the same point...shows the disk and the buzz saw and the 'looking for other computers' message. Why is it looking for other computer? I rebooted and it finally recognized the Time Machine disk and I selected what I wanted to migrate and it went on its merry way while we had dinner. I come back a couple hours later and it says 'copying system info...about a minute left' or something close. I left it there for about an hour and finally shut it down & restarted. It then went to the gray screen with the apple and the buzz saw and hung there for about an hour. I tried a few more times and then booted into the Utilities screen and am in the process of re-installng Lion. I'm not happy. Any idea what the problems were/are? I hope I can get it working after all this. Did I mention that I'm not happy?

Migration from unsupported system

I have got an iMac G5 with Mac OS X 10.4, and I want to use Migration Assistant to migrate from a machine running 10.3.5 that does not support Firewire target disc mode. I have successfully connected the machines together by ethernet, and can copy files, but this of course does not migrate all my settings, and with a multi user source system, it does not even seem all that simple to get owners/permissions right.
My idea is that it might be possible to use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy my source system onto a partition on the G5 system (I think that the copy on the G5 system will not boot because it probably doesn't have the right system additions, hence I can't simply copy onto the G5 system and then boot from there).
I would then boot 10.4 on the G5, and could I tell Migration assistant that it should migrate using the partition with the old system as the source? (Will it let me choose that?)
If the principle might work, how should I do the clone, should I do it from the source system, blowing the clone to the partition across the network (or does CCC not work across a network). Or should I do it from the G5 system sucking the system across the network onto the G5?
Unfortunately, Migration assistant seems a good idea, but it seems rather inflexible in the ways that it can be used.
Regards
Beige G3 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

Thanks, for the advice, however:
What you plan on doing isn't really recommended.
First off, the copying over the network will have a
hard time preserving permissions,
I realise that it would not preserve permissions if I just copied, which was why I was considering using CCC. Can anyone advise on how I could use CCC in the configuration to get the data to the right place?
and secondly it
would be extremely slow.
Yes, it isn't particularly fast, I tried copying some of my home directory and it took some time, but much less than an hour (ISTR) which would be entirely acceptable (I havn't got that large a disc on the G3).
One of the best things
to consider doing is just copying those folders
which have the necessary data for the migration
using the ethernet network.
Yes, since I am going to have to copy data across anyway, I don't loose much be copying the clone. (The OS which I don't need is a small percentage of the total user data and applications which I need to copy anyway).
There is this article
which can help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301239
But this doesn't even consider things like the network settings etc.
Now I forget whether or not the hard drive in the G3
was an IDE. If it is, your solution would be to put
that hard drive inside a Firewire hard drive case.
Then the migration assistant would happily accept
the data as if it were on an external operating
system.
If I get desparate I might have to go to the expense of the firewire enclosure.
Can anyone tell me whether Migration Assistant behaves OK when there is more than one partition on the mounted firewire drive?
Thanks,
Beige G3 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

I have just migrated from ibook

sorry if i'm behind the times, but i just used time machine/migration to set up new (2nd hand) macbook pro from my old i'book
as i was curious about the new computer before i was ready to migrate, i set up an account in my name. bit later on i did the migration using same name/passwords. the migration would not allow me to use the same user name so i called the new one: xxxxx old. (as it was from old computer)
So now i have 2 admin accounts, how do i know which is the most 'powerful', in terms of hierarchy, or are they the same, does it matter?
Thanks

Admin accounts are all the same.
In general, on a new Mac you should use Setup Assistant to migrate from your old MacBook. It will pull across your User Accounts, settings, applications, etc.

Trouble Migrating from iMac G4 to new MacBook

I recently purchased a new 13" 2.4 GHz MacBook, as well as a Firewire cable (a 6pin/6pin, but not from Apple), with the intention of transferring my data and some apps from my 5 year old iMac G4. I turned on the new MacBook and followed its instructions to migrate. I connected the Firewire cable, and restarted the old Mac while holding T, so the Firewire symbol appeared on the screen. However, then the migration assistant said I didn't have Mac OS X on the old computer, which is simply not true. Is the problem related to the fact that the new one is Intel-based and the old one is not, or that the old one has a different version (I think) of OS X?

Do not use Migration Assistant to migrate from a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac. See the following:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
Basically the instructions you should follow are:
1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Time Machine fails to backup files migrated from Windows

Hi there - I have a really annoying issue whereby I have a machine with a TC on the LAN which fails to backup.
The scenario is thus - Mac Snow Leopard server which has files migrated from an old Windows server to one specific disk. This is where all the data resides so this is the only volume I actually really need to back up.
However I keep getting the message that Time machine could not write to the device after a certain period of time with the classically unhelpful:-
Console log mumbles on about what I suspect is the path/length of path or filenames which I understand. Question is - how do I get round this? There are thousands of files in here so I cannot ask the users to go around renaming the files and shortening the folder names (to be honest it doesnt seem that they are too long to me in any case).
The files are shared using both AFP and SMB as a standard Sharepoint and the users on both Mac and PC have no problems at all accessing them, hence my confusion as to why TM has a problem with the file/folder names.
Chocolate biscuit (or equivalent for those on detox) for anyone who can throw me a bone here.
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Si

Not really sure if this is what you mean about Outlook database, but the correct answer may be in this thread's last post:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3356959?start=0&tstart=0
Basically the same information you can find here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/help-my-ma in-identity-hosed-restore-from-time/a9992719-3ae0-479d-bf0a-7c8279653ffa
"The first time that you open Outlook after restoring a Time Machine backup, Outlook rebuilds its database to accommodate the restored items. If you have a very large database, rebuilding the database might take a long time."
Hope this helps.

HT4889 Am I wrong or does Migration Assistant not work in Mountain Lion (10.8.2) when migrating from a PowerPC running Tiger (10.4.11)? Apple really needs to get on the ball or face losing people buying their new desktop products.

The title alone speaks to my frustration about this issue.
Used the process that was recommended by Apple to migrate from my "Lampshade" iMac (PPC running 10.4.11) to the new iMac (Intel running 10.8.2) and I got bupkiss...
Just a spinning wheel (not beachball) and no drive recognized using Migration Assistant for both nor when using Target Mode on the iMac running 10.4.11 and Migration Assistant on the iMac running 10.8.2. Which is ironic, or more accurately oxymoronic, since the iMac in Target Mode (10.4.11) is recognized on the desktop of the iMac running 10.8.2 but not in the Migration Assistant. And before you can misdiagnose..it is not the Thunderbolt connection since I have the Apple recommended Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter and also used the Firewire 400 to 800 cable to expedite the transfer.
On a personal note...
I'm not bashing Apple for this...they are "head and shoulders" above the competition in what they do but I've been burned a few times so I feel I can share a small bit of loyal customer advice...I understand your iOS and mobile products hold huge sway in company focus and market-share but I find it a tad unwise to slack on the desktop applications. I don't recall any app for the iPhone/iPad family being made on the iPhone/iPad...only from desktop applications if I recall correctly. And how can I clearly "Move my Mac even further ahead" as your marketing states when I can't even migrate my files from my old Mac to my new one in a simple fashion as per your instructions?
I thank anyone in advance with an answer or even a workaround for this issue and please have a great day.

Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger to OS X Lion
Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 computers to OS X Lion over your Wi-Fi or a wired network is not supported. However, if both Macs are equipped with a FireWire port, you can use Target Disk Mode to transfer your data:
Verify that both Macs are equipped with a FireWire port. Note that different model Macs may have different FireWire connectors, which will require an appropriate cable, such as FireWire 400 to FireWire 800.
On the Mac you want to transfer data from, Restart, and immediately hold the T key.
Wait for the FireWire logo to appear on the screen. If it does not, restart and try again.
Connect both Macs via the FireWire cable.
On the Mac you want to transfer data to, Open the Migration Assistant application.

Select your other Mac's volume, such as "Macintosh HD", from the list, and click Cont
EDIT: Actually I realize you did follow these directions and if your drive is seen on the new Mac it should work. You're entitled to free Apple support with the new purchase, I'd give them a call.

TS1963 Migrating from Time Machine onExternal Disk, Why won't Migration Assistant see my USB Connected external disk drive?

I had to format my internal disk drive on my MacBook Pro, and reload Mountain Lion 10.8.3. The startup assistant could not see my external disk drive with the Time Machine backup files. After many tries I told it to skip restoring the files and let it boot up. I was able to see my 1 TByte external drive and could see the Time Machine files using Finder.
I started the Migration Assistant and told it to migrate from Time Machine Files on an external drive. It also did not see the backup drive. The only drive icon it showed was the Macintosh HD (my internal drive).
Isn't it supposed to show you the drive you are moving the files from? I tried starting it and it looked like it was going to try to migrate the files from the internal drive (to where I don't know, back to itselfl?) Or do I just not understand. Is it seeing the external drive, without identifying it (in the Migration Asst,)?
Really looks like it is going to back up the internal HD with files that are on the internal HD and not from Time Machine.
I need to restore my files and have been told I need to do so using Migration Assistant and not Time Machine.
Help pleae and soon, need to get my taxes finished!
Thanks!

I'm surprised that no one replied to this. But I learned a few things that may be helpful to some of you with this same question.
When you restore data from an external disk drive with Time Machine files on it. As you move through the dialog (in either System Startup or in the Migration Assistant) it will ask if you want to restore from an external disk with Time Machine files. If you select this option, it will show you only one Icon. You will expect to see your external disk drive listed as the source of the restore. The icon that is shown will look like your ilnternal drive and will be labeled something like Macintosh HD. That is not your internal drive, but is your backup drive. It is labeled the same as your internal disk drive and it is telling you that you have found the backup for your internal disk drive.
Would be nice if Apple would put a note of explanation about this as part of that dialog. I wasted several hours trying to make it work Finally I took a chance and selected the drive shown and it did restore my system. I ended up with two users since I did it from Migration Assistant. Had I done it from the System Startup, there would only be the one user.
