Proceedure to upgrade from lookout 6.0.0 to 6.0.2

I am looking for some direction on the proper proceedure to upgrade an
existing 6.0 installation to the newly released 6.0.2 version.
The readme file says to remove the previous installation of lookout and
to refersto the release notes. The release notes do not give any
specific instalation instructions other than to install on a clean
computer.
Is there are proceedures that will fully back up my data and
configurations that will restore the proceses and data when the upgrade
is done?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alan,
If you images were just images from the default Graphics directory, you should have no problem. However, if you used images from the Image Navigator or imported custom graphics, these will need to be added to your new installation. You can either create a subdirectory in the Lookout/Graphics directory, put your images there, and relink all your images to look at the new folder, then copy this folder and put it back to that same location after reinstalling. However, if you are simply upgrading on the same computer, it's probably easier to copy your entire Graphics directory to a safe location, then uninstall/upgrade, then copy the backup Graphics folder over the new Graphics folder after reinstalling.

How difficult would it be to upgrade from Lookout 5.1 to 6.5?

Hello, I was told that Lookout 6.5 works with Windows 7. Before I purchase 6.5 I need to know how difficult it will be to move from 5.1 to 6.5. Has anyone done this move? If I am going to have to redraw, or do numerous changes to the Database then I won't do it and I'll start from scratch with Cimplicity or ClearSCADA.
Thanks.

We use a custom SCADA designed by SCIPAR out of Buffalo New York. We've had a SCADA System here for about 28 Years. I have small standalone SCADA Systems running Lookout.
Another Question, because I can't get the Database Converted for one of my systems, I'm wondering if it is ever needed. This is a small system and the operator's use Trending and Alarm Functions but they never look at historical archives. I do have the Object Members set up to Log, is that needed for Trending to function? I wonder if I can get by without the conversion since it doesn't look like I'm ever going to get it to work.

Is there a free upgrade from Lookout 5.0 to 5.1?

Folks:
I just got handed a project that uses Lookout. My customer currently has 5.0 and I was wondering if I should upgrade to 5.1 and how. Is there a free upgrade patch or something to do this?
Also, I am running on Win XP Pro (SP2); are there any major issues with 5.x on XP Pro?
thanks in advance,

Upgrading to Lookout 6.7.1 from version 5.1 on new computer

Hi
We recently upgraded to Lookout 6.7.1 from version 5.1 (build 8). We copied the
database, Source Files, Process Files from the old computer to the new
computer. We also attached the database in NI Max. We then updated the files
when we opened them in the new version 6.7.1. We now are missing data and we
are experiencing issues with the following:
1. No Trends are trending
2. We have a screen named Instruments Settings but the numeric values are not
displaying
3. We have tried changing the numeric values for the Instruments Settings but
they will not write to the database
4. We have tried the Revise Potentionmeter but it is not writing to the Remote
URL
5. The Data Member Configuration is not editable
Below are screen shots:
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

HI Bob
The database conversion did complete successfully. The alarms are showing because the datapoints are not registering correctly and such the min and max are setting off the alarms. Some devices are working while others are not. Seems to be about half of the devices are working. I have little Lookout experience. I have enough knowledge to put up a Lookout PC and move the data/files. The last move went okay but this one has been difficult at best. Luckily I still have the "old" setup working and can fall back when the attempts to get the new one does not work successfully.I have found the proper way to edit the data points individually but this would be very tedious and prone to errors. I would like to think there is some connetion that has not converted to the new version and I need to find and fix that connection, but again I don't have the required knowledge for that.
Your thoughts?
Thank you for your reply.

Upgrading from 6.0.2 to 6.5 or 6.7

I have a process running on Windows XP using version 6.0.2. It uses various methods of communication including dial up, serial radios, and ethernet (internet) for data transfer. This data is logged in the citadel 5 database which we currently access using hypertrends within Lookout, the MAX interface, and queries using Microsoft Excel.
I am looking to upgrade the version as the computer is running XP and I need to at get to at least Windows 7. As well, I am going to need to set up a web server to allow for remote viewing of screens.
While investigating, I came across a posting regarding this very upgrade. The user had told me that it failed completly and I would have to rebuild the entire process file. I had initially thought that this would be it for Lookout and time to move on to another platform. I am running a copy of 6.5 on my laptop which is a Windows 7 professional 64 bit version machine. I use this for troubleshooting and testing.
I have several HMI panels using Window XP and Lookout 6.0 for local use. I copied the process file from one of these machines on to my laptop and opened the process file with Lookout 6.5 and expected some sort of fatal error. It opened, and as this particular process is able to connect to the stations PLC using ethernet, I was able to have full access to the data stream.
Has anyone gone through this type of upgrade as I have outlined? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I would like to stay with the Lookout program as I find it( after a huge learning curve- Thanks Bob) easier to make changes to and modify. The thought of going to something else gives me the willies.
About the only hardware issue I can think of in regards to upgrading from XP to WIndows 7, is the "octopus" serial cable. It is a special card that allows for 8 seperate DB9 serial ports. If it isn't supported in a Windows 7 machine, I can always go to a USB hub and multiple USB to serial converters.
I am confused as to why the the user I talked to had told me the process would have to be rebuilt. Any other upgrade stories out there with these versions? I know there are issues with old pre-6.0 versions, but I am interested in 6.0.

I have had no major issues (from Lookout 5.1, 6.0.2, 6.1 and 6.2) going to 6.7.1
It sounds like you have the idea, test it on another machine running Windows 7/8.
Check with the hardware manufacturer for driver updates. We have many PCI, PCIe, USB and Ethernet serial devices running in places.
Good luck.

Is it really possible to upgrade from a Treo 650 to a Treo 750?

I am not a very happy customer at the moment, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I upgraded from my old Palm Tungsten to a Zire, then to a Cingular Treo 650, combining three devices into one. I have since discovered that the Treo 650 seems to have a faulty transmission mode, as I can rarely be clearly understood by whomever I call. Am on the second (or third, I have lost track) and continue to have the same problem. I get five bars of reception but can't be understood on the other end. A bit of a problem when one is trying to call 911. Am constantly told I am "breaking up". The repair shop says it "Can't duplicate the problem". OK, then I do not want to give up all the info I have stored in the fool thing, and the 750 seems to have a different system, so I thought I would try that. All the stuff I could find seemed to indicate it wouldn't be a problem to upgrade. When the 750 arrived, I tried to install the software from the CD on my Windows XP computer. No dice. Setup encounters an error and closes. Can't even look at the files, because setup tries to run any time I access the CD. From any drive. Gave it to my girlfiend to check on her computer, and the CD seemed to run fine. Other CDs work just fine on my computer. Must be some kind of conflict, but what? Tried calling the AT&T number that suggested they could help with setup, and was first connected to the business center, they routed me to the laptop center, who routed me to the network center, who said they would have to bring in the Palm customer service and connected me to a Mac guy that dumped me back to a menu that took me to someone for whom English is a second language with whom I was trying to communicate over a very poor satellite connection. They made no sense anyway. telling me first that I couldn't have two desktops running (wrong, my girlfriend has my old Zire and the CD worked fine) and then insisting that the serial number on my device had to start with a P, when it clearly does not have any alpha characters in it. Gave up on that route of assistance. Managed to get the new ActiveSync installed from my girlfriends computer over the network. Great. Now let's get my 650 synced with Outlook (which I have not used at home) and see if we can move on. Nope. First I have to update Outlook 2000 from the old Win98 to my current XP. Find the old CD, and square that away. OK, now sync to Outlook. Nope. The sync program gives an error, saying it will only sync with Outlook 98, 2000, and XP(2002). Good grief. I have Outlook 2000, and the software apparently does not recognize it. If the Palm doesn't work, there is no reason for me to keep this phone, and I am very close to returning it and abandoning the Palm entirely when I upgrade to something that works, although I dread re-entering all that information.

Thanks for the feedback. Today I installed an Enterprise version of Office 2007 I purchased a while back, but had not yet installed. Microsoft presented a few challenges, but they were quickly resolved. I then downloaded the appropriate conduit from Palm, and synced the 650 with the handheld overwriting the computer. Then used Active Destop to sync the 750. Satisfied I had moved as much info as possible, I called AT&T and had them move the phone number to the new Treo.
Bonus! When the guy at AT&T called me on the new phone to verify it, he said it sounded better than my landline.
Sorry for the streaming paragraph. When it is late I tend to write like I think.

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Can't print from IE 8 after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) uses two HP printers: Color LaserJet CP3525x (at work) and Deskjet 6940 (at home). Both printers are accessed across a local network.
I recently upgraded from Vista Enterprise to Windows 7 Enterprise.
Everything still prints fine (from Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.), except for IE 8! When I try to print a web page from IE, it prints only the page header, and otherwise the sheet is empty. This symptom occurs on both printers. (And of course this worked fine before the upgrade.)
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

If anyone else is having this problem, I found the solution on another forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/920588e5-ccc4-4e24-83d6-606...).
Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:
1. If it doesn't already exist, create a directory named "Low" in your directory "C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\".
2. From a command prompt, issue this command: ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

Fields in read-only mode for BP transaction in upgrade from 4.72 to ECC6.0

Hello,
This is regarding the query for BP transaction in upgrade from 4.72 to ECC 6.0.
While creating BP / Changing BP system is disabling the fields in compnay code & sales area option. There is a SAP not provided 907860; and specified that the proplem is because of the delta customizing.
All the customization settings are as per the note. And the Synchronization Control is also activated. But still the fields are disabled only.
I have checked the field settings also in Cross-Application-Components & Logistic-Genral.
But these are not working for compnay code & sales area data.
please let me know if anyone has faced this type of problem / found any solution on this.
Best Regards,
Shubhada

SAP IMG -> Cross Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization  Synchronization Control -> Synchronization Control -> Activate Synchronization options
This setting allows you to activate synchronization of BP with R/3. Not maintaining the values may result in certain fields being read-only in BP.
Suggested Values:
Source Object: BP | Target Object: CUSTOMER | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: BP | Target Object: VENDOR | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: CUSTOMER | Target Object: BP | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: VENDOR | Target Object: BP | Active Indicator : X
Have you set all of the above settings??

Slow table creation after upgrade from 10.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.1 using DBUA

I've recently completed a database upgrade from 10.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.1 using the DBUA.
I've since encountered a slowdown when running a script which drops and recreates a series of ~250 tables. The script normally runs in around 19 seconds. After the upgrade, the script requires ~2 minutes to run.
By chance has anyone encountered something similar?
The problem may be related to the behavior of an "after CREATE on schema" trigger which grants select privileges to a role through the use of a dbms_job call; between 10g and the database that was upgraded from 10G to 11g. Currently researching this angle.
I will be using the following table creation DDL for this abbreviated test case:
create table ALLIANCE (
   ALLIANCEID           NUMBER(10)                      not null,
   NAME                 VARCHAR2(40)                    not null,
   CREATION_DATE        DATE,
   constraint PK_ALLIANCE primary key (ALLIANCEID)
           using index
       tablespace LIVE_INDEX
tablespace LIVE_DATA;When calling the above DDL, an "after CREATE on schema" trigger is fired which schedules a job to immediately run to grant select privilege to a role for the table which was just created:
create or replace
trigger select_grant
after CREATE on schema
declare
    l_str varchar2(255);
    l_job number;
begin
    if ( ora_dict_obj_type = 'TABLE' ) then
        l_str := 'execute immediate "grant select on ' ||
                                     ora_dict_obj_name ||
                                    ' to select_role";';
        dbms_job.submit( l_job, replace(l_str,'"','''') );
    end if;
end;
{code}
Below I've included data on two separate test runs. The first is on the upgraded database and includes optimizer parameters and an abbreviated TKPROF. I've also, included the offending sys generate SQL which is not issued when the same test is run on a 10g environment that has been set up with a similar test case. The 10g test run's TKPROF is also included below.
The version of the database is 11.2.0.1.
These are the parameters relevant to the optimizer for the test run on the upgraded 11g SID:

So while this certainly isn't the most elegant of solutions, and most assuredly isn't in the realm of supported by Oracle...
I've used the DBMS_IJOB.DROP_USER_JOBS('username'); package to remove the 194558 orphaned job entries from the job$ table. Don't ask, I've no clue how they all got there; but I've prepared some evil looks to unleash upon certain developers tomorrow morning.
Not being able to reorganize the JOB$ table to free the now wasted ~67MB of space I've opted to create a new index on the JOB$ table to sidestep the full table scan.
CREATE INDEX SYS.JOB_F1_THIS_NEXT ON SYS.JOB$ (FIELD1, THIS_DATE, NEXT_DATE) TABLESPACE SYSTEM;The next option would be to try to find a way to grant the select privilege to the role without using the aforementioned "after CREATE on schema" trigger and dbms_job call. This method was adopted to cover situations in which a developer manually added a table directly to the database rather than using the provided scripts to recreate their test environment.
I assume that the following quote from the 11gR2 documentation is mistaken, and there is no such beast as "create or replace table" in 11g:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10592/statements_9003.htm#i2061306
"Dropping a table invalidates dependent objects and removes object privileges on the table. If you want to re-create the table, then you must regrant object privileges on the table, re-create the indexes, integrity constraints, and triggers for the table, and respecify its storage parameters. Truncating and replacing have none of these effects. Therefore, removing rows with the TRUNCATE statement or replacing the table with a *CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE* statement can be more efficient than dropping and re-creating a table."

Since upgrade from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 the conversations in Outlook do not group by subject

Hi Microsoft,
Since we have upgraded from Exchange 2007 to 2013 users complain their conversations in Outlook are no longer grouped based on the subject of an e-mail. I looks like Outlook uses other message properties for grouping e-mails in a conversation.
I have investigated all the forum topics and see that with exchange 2010 there is support added for the use of conversation-ID's. However the functionality to automatically group e-mails with the same subject in one conversation in Outlook is gone!
I would like to know if there is a fix to implement so that some our users get this functionality back. For Example: Let the exchange server not generate conversation-ID's and message-ID's for certain users.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Totally correct!
If you don't plan to maintain Outlook then you plan to fail :(
