PSA SE 3 install preparation questions

I am looking at my brother's computer which has PSA2 Starter Edition 2 downloaded but never used. My thoughts are that it would be best to uninstall PSA SE 2, then download and install PSA SE 3 and import his new photos to PSA SE 3.
He has XP Home SP2 on a Pentium 4, only 256 MB RAM but plenty of hard drive space available. Because of the limited RAM and the fact that he is new to digital photos, I eliminated the possiblity of giving him a Photoshop Elements 4 that I no longer need.
I know Photoshop Album 2 and Photoshop Elements, but have never used the Starter Edition:
1 - To unintall PSA SE2 - I suspect I should use the Control Panel > Add and Remove programs. Correct?
2 - Is there any documentation available as a PDF file for PSA SE 3?
3- Any tips about the PSA SE 3 download, install and registration that I should know?
4 - Can anyone suggest a way to verify the ODBC - MS Database code on this PC before downloading and using PSA SE 3?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Barb,
1)Correct, you can uninstall PSA SE2 from Control Panel > Add and Remove programs.
2)Yes, there is an online Help PDF file available. For this go to help manu in SE 3.0 & click "Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 Help..."or you can also press F1 directly to go to help page.
This page contains a PDF Help file. Download it & use it.
For further queries about SE 3.0 you can post your problem on this forum as well.
3) PSE SE 3.0 download is free. You'll be allowed to use product for 26 launches without registration. After this you need to register yourself. An email containing an "Unlock Code" will be delievred at ypur mail id. You need to put that unlock code for unlocking the product. After this you can use the product for life.
4) Can you please tell me the steps & the problem that you are facing with this ODBC connection & PSA SE 3.0 thing.

Preparing for the 10.5 reformat & install - Some Questions...

Greetings all,
I am preparing to wipe the boot drive on my G5, currently on 10.4.11, for the upgrade to Leopard. It will be a slash and burn, not for any immediate reason, but because the boot drive has never had one in its whole life.
I have copied my entire library folders for iTunes and iPhoto onto an external drive, for later re-copying back onto my boot drive once 10.5 and necessary applications have been installed. After I install 10.5 and copy my stuff back onto the boot drive, need I be worried about iTunes not authorizing the copy of my music folder? Should I de-authorize my iTunes account before the system install? Will I be alright just straight copying the iTunes library folder back onto the boot drive and pointing the app to the main folder?
Same with iPhoto; Should I expect complications when copying the main iPhoto library folder back onto the boot disk?
I've a MobileMe account, so bookmarks and contacts are backed up as well.
If anyone feels like chiming in with additional tips or advice before I embark on this stupendous journey, I would be most appreciative!
Thanks,
Tristan

Tristan:
You seem pretty well prepared. iTunes should be fine. For authorization purposes, it looks at the Mac, not the HD. You should be able to reinstall OS X, and then move the iTunes and iPhoto folders back to the apprpriate places in your home folder. That should be it.
Bottom line, make sure your backups work, and if for some unforeseen reason the new install doesn't work, post back.

Just installed iOS6, questions about "iMessage" and other things...

I've been a satisfied iOS4 user since I bought my iPhone4, but I was forced to install iOS6 tonight in order to download a "free" app. I found a few new icons on the screen along with about 200 percent more "Settings" I'd like to ask some questions about. I'm sure a few of these could be answered by doing a frantic and thorough search through weeks of posts but I'm a little short on time right now.
First, what exactly is iMessage? Looking at the page for it, I can't see any difference between it and regular text messages. The info page says its to avoid charges, but between my data plan and not being charged for text I don't see where theres any other benefit. The one person I text with the most recently asked me why I had not installed iMessage yet, and didn't have an answer when I asked him why I should. I guess he just wanted to see text replies in blue instead of green.
In a related bit, flipping through Settings>Messages>Send & Receive I find a "2 addresses" section, with my phone number in there as well as my email under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from:". What good does it do iMessages to have my email address? Does the Mail app handle text as well as email addresses? That seems to be the only explanation, and also very odd to think I'd be trying to text through my Mail app.
Second, looking through the Settings>Mail I see now that I have an icloud email address as well as the mac.com address I've been desperately hanging on to for the past 10 years, and the me.com address they've been trying to force me into since those came out. (I was happy to see I could delete the me.com address from the phone. I wish I could delete it from the universe.)
I wasn't even aware there was a such thing as icloud.com addresses. When did this happen? What is it used for?
Third, under that icloud Setting I see a long list of apps with buttons labeled "Off" under it. What are those for? Under the Mac.com settings I see switches for "Mail" and "Notes", with Mail on and Notes off. The Notes app (which I haven't used since my old iPhone 3) still opens, regardless of this setting.
Fourth, I now have an item called "Facetime" under my Settings. It is off, but underneath it says "Your phone number and/or email address will be shared with people you call". I understand caller ID normally sends caller number info to the receiver, but why would someone need my email address if I call them?
Fifth, I now have a "Music" setting, at the bottom of which I see a "Home Sharing" item, which when clicked brings up my AppleID and asks me if I want to Sign Out or Cancel. What is Home Sharing? Its also at the bottom of the "Video" settings.
Sixth, now I have Twitter and Facebook settings? For what? I don't have accounts with either of those companies. So why have settings, especially since it asks me to create accounts and download apps for those companies right in the Settings?
Seventh, there is a camera icon on the unlock screen. Touching it causes the screen to bounce up about a quarter inch, almost but not quite revealing something behind it. I should probably just quit asking about this stuff already, but I'll take the bait - what is this now?
Finally, what is the Notification Center used for?
If I got a text under iOS4, it would put an alert on the Unlock screen. Scrolling through this huge list of things under the Notification settings I'm really blown away by all the apps set up to yell at me. I can see having an alert for a text message but Game Center? What the heck is that, and why is it set up to hit me with a "Badge App Icon" (whatever that is) when I get alerts from "Everyone". Similarly, the phone is set to alert me to something called a "Photostream Alert"? What is this? Why is there a Phone section for the Notification Center? So they can put a Notice on my screen to tell me the phone is ringing? Holy cow! The phone is set to send me alerts from the "Weather Widget". So if I miss the fact its raining there will be a message on my screen to let me know? Whats next - a buzzer to tell me I'm listening to music?
There's a lot more, like what would I need Passbook for when I have the actual movie tickets, gate boarding passes, coupons, etc in my hands, but we'll leave that for another time. Many thanks to all who can offer some answers to my questions above.

Spinning ball problems--need to do a clean install--have questions

Hi
background:
I have a G4 (quicksilver) since July 2002, it came with OS9.2 and OS10.1.3. I've upgraded a few times since and currently have 10.3.9. I mainly work in OS9.2 due to most of my programs being used are only in 9 and the PC network I'm hooked up to likes it better. I boot up in 9.2 -- 80%of the time.
I'm not sure when the problem started in OSX since I'm not working there alot but I started to get the spinning ball in installer, software update and some preferences. So I reloaded (archive/install) from 10.3.5 upgrade disk but couldn't further upgrade to 10.3.9 due to that spinning ball-- still there even after I reloaded 10.3.5.
I've run Disk Utility from the 10.3.5 upgrade disk (repaired disk, repaired permissions) and then I again reloaded (archive install) 10.3.5 and then upgraded to 10.3.9 and this time it worked because I went immediately to the 10.3.9 to install.
BUT I still have the spinning balls in almost everything. Almost seems worse now. I can't even use Disk Utility from the utility folder on my mac without getting the spinning ball.
OS9.2 is fine and I would like to leave it that way.
But it's looking like I need to do a clean install--which means I'll have to reload OS9.2 -- correct?
My question is for a clean install do I need to go back to the original disks that came with my Mac (OS10.1.3) or can I do a clean install with the 10.3.5 upgrade disks. And if I do a clean install from 10.3.5 can I still install OS9.2?
Also what are those Software Restore disks for? They came with the original set of CDs, are they used in the clean install?
Thanks for any help you can give

Keith:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You really should start a new topic, as threadjacking is frowned upon in these Forums.
The spinning ball or the beachball effect is a result of the computer spinning its wheels, so to speak, as it does not have sufficient computing power to deal with the task at hand. This can be caused by many things.
I am almost certain that it has nothing to do with the latest Panther update. I did them all with no problem.
Is there a way to deal with it?
1. Sufficient RAM
2. Sufficient available HDD capacity.
3. Regular maintenance.
4. Repairing Disk Permisssions before and after any installations.
In terms of RAM you should aim to max out your RAM if you can. I don't have much information on your computer specs so I can't give any more specific information about that.
You should have 10 to 15 percent of your internal HDD as free space. This gives your computer room for virtual memory to be most efficient.
Here is an article on maintenace that has good advice and links to resources: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
In addition to repairing permissions, another simple procedure is to reset the PRAM. You should boot from your install disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility on the install disk. I run monthly diagnostics and repairs with Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior. In addition running regular CRON cleaning with a utility like MacJanitor, Cocktail, Macaroni or Onyx (all linked in the article above) keeps your machine running smoothly and minimizes the potential for major problems.
I think I have given you enough to chew on for now. Post back if you have further questions.
Good luck.

Need to do a clean install, important questions

Hi all,
For several months my two-year-old MacBook has been having a serious typing issue that I have not been able to resolve. When I am typing, quite frequently, the typing will move to the middle of the text box (or Word document) and start writing over or deleting what I've already wrote. I've searched online, other people have suffered this problem, but there is no definitive solution. I will not go further into this, but if you know what might fix the problem please let me know.
Anyway...
Per the suggestion of a friend, I plan on doing a clean install to Snow Leopard. Since this sounds like a software issue, I am hoping this will resolve my typing problem. I have never done a clean install before and need to purchase an external hard drive. Everything must go seamlessly, as I am a college student and have very important docs and applications that must safely be transferred back. This is what I'm looking at:
- 40 GB of media files in iTunes
- 10 GB of photos in iPhoto
- 0.5 GB of text documents
~ 30 GB of applications (Office, Adobe Suite, etc.)
My friend told me I will need the install discs for Office and Adobe Suite in addition to to the serial numbers. I live far away from home now, and am not even sure if the install disc for Office is still in my hometown. Adobe Suite came preloaded on my MacBook when I purchased it from Apple with a student discount (there were never any install discs). It is very crucial that I am able to transfer the Adobe Suite.
Will I be able to transfer all these documents/applications to an external drive? If so, could you provide me a tutorial on how to go about this process.
I greatly appreciate all help.

You are very welcome.
"I just learned that external hard drives are either Windows or Mac compatible. You said I needed one that works with Firewire 800, but what about USB 2.0? I'm not even sure if this MacBook is Firewire 400 or 800."
Almost all drives will work on either. What matters is how the drives are formatted. If you were to buy a drive, things might be a tiny bit easier if it came formatted the way you want. If the firewire port is oblong, then it is 400. If it is pretty square, then it is 800. 800 is better than USB 2.0 which probably is better than 400. You can get USB 2.0 that are bootable, but I don't know that all of them are. You can be almost certain that a firewire 800 or 400 will be bootable. You need one that will bootable, of course.
"What exactly is the migration process? You said it will prompt me to migrate (transfer to external hard drive?) after I've put in the Snow Leopard install disc? I assumed I would be manually transferring the files and applications to the external hard drive before putting in Snow Leopard. So you are saying I will be able to transfer my applications such as Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office without needing the original discs or even entering in the serial numbers?"
Yes, to the last sentence. It wouldn't work to transfer things to the drive before installing the OS. At the end of an erase and install of SL, you will be prompted to migrate, or restore, your users, settings, apps, and data. I would migrate the apps and data, but not the users and settings. You would elect to migrate from your Leopard installation (i.e., from an earlier system).
"Thanks again for the reply. I will go ahead with buying an external hard drive as soon as the first question is cleared up."
A good thing to do is to see what is carried at the Apple Stores. One brand I like is LaCie, but they can be more expensive than some. The manager at "my" store is willing to do price matching on drives they carry. Another brand (not Apple oriented) that I like is Buffalo. Newegg.com and Frys tend to have good prices on these. You can get a 1 TB 7200 RPM Buffalo for < $140.

Macbook Pro OS 10.6.8 (updated) with 10.6.3 install disc question

My Question is...
My macbook pro was bought on November 2010 from amazon, and it came with OS 10.6.3. However, I recently upgraded to 10.6.8, and my install cd that originally came with my macbook pro is from November 2010, and it still has OS 10.6.3. My question is that, will this cause a problem in any way since I am going to install Windows 7 on Bootcamp, and Bootcamp has been recently updated, and if I put the Mac install DVD to install the drivers, something could mess up since the Mac install DVD is a completely different version than my 10.6.8 macbook pro (but the point is not bootcamp, it's if this could cause a problem). Thank you for any answers.
Note: One phrase is bolded because that is the main thing I am asking about.
Additonal Details:
Type of Mac: Laptop
Mac Laptop type: Macbook Pro
Month and Year: November 2010
Where purchased: Amazon
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
Install DVD version: 10.6.3
Macbook Pro current version: 10.6.8

Ok so your trying to install Windows 7 on a bootcamp made partition? You don't need the OSX disk for this task. You do need an internet connection to download the windows7 drivers for your specific macbook pro. Do not install the drivers from the disk because they will be very old. Bootcamp will walk you through the whole process.

Adobe Reader 9.3.2 silent install package questions, please ...

Hello:
I am a network and Desktop Support person for a higher education facility. I was asked to take over automating software application
installs.
I have a script process, created by Auto-It (Scite script editor), that has been working well for Adobe Reader 9.1 with updates to 9.1.1, 9.1.2 and 9.1.3 (found on the Internet) -
msiexec /i \\<server>\<path>\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=\\<server>\<path>\AcroRead_10132009.mst /passive /norestart /update \\<server>\<path>\AdbeRdrUpd911_all_incr.msp;\\<server>\<path>\AdbeRdrUpd912_all_incr.msp; \\<server>\<path>\AdbeRdrUpd913_all_incr.msp
My questions:
Is there a similar process for installing Adobe Reader 9.3 silently and then updating to 9.3.2?
If so, what are the steps, ex. expand/extract the initial 9.3 .EXE, then create a transform using Orca/<transform making of choice>, etc.?
With having read of some issues in this forum regarding Adobe Reader 9.3.2, should I continue using 9.1.3 and wait?
Thank you for your time.

Well we have a wiki where I work, and here is then entry I have created on how to deploy Adobe Reader. See if any of this helps, if not, we'll take it from there.
Deployment
It is HIGHLY recommended that you read and follow the directions of the deployment guide provided by Adobe located at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/deploying_reader9.pdf. The documentation located here is simply for a quick reference for those who have already read the guide.
The rights to distribute Adobe Reader must be obtained by filling out the form found at http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/rdr_distribution1.html. After filling out the form and being accepted to distribute Adobe Reader, you will receive an email with a link to download the redistributable version of Adobe Reader. You will be prompted to download a .exe package containing the Reader MSI file. The general form of the command to convert a Nosso-compressed file to an MSI package is:
<path to>\AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe [<switches>...]
Switch
Description
-nos_ne
Do not execute any file after installation (overrides the -e switch) This switch should be used if user only wants to extract the installer contents and not run the installer.
-nos_o
Specifies the name of folder where the contents of the expanded package are to be placed. The folder name should be enclosed in quotation marks. It is best if you do not use an existing folder, and there should be no space following the “-nos_o”.
For example:<path to>\AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe -nos_o”TestFolder” -nos_ne
Using the extracted MSI, create an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using the command-line:
msiexec /a <path to>\AcroPro.msi transforms=<path to>\AcroPro.mst
The AcroPro.mst transform file is created by the Adobe Customization Wizard 9
You can apply any patches that may have been released since the major version release. Use the command-line:
msiexec /a <path to>\AcroPro.msi /p <path to>\AdbeRdrUpd931.msp;<path to>\AdbeRdrUpd932.msp
Once all this is complete, you can fully deploy the software by running the command-line:
<path to>\AcroRead.msi transforms=<path to>\AcroRead.mst /qb
More information can also be found in the Enterprise Administration Guide

Frame 12 install options question

In the Frame 12 install, a box comes up with Options:
-Adobe Framemaker 12 1.3 GB
On the side panel is a tick box with Adobe Framemaker and then indented under that is Adobe PDF Creation Add-On XI 156 MB
-Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CC
Here are my questions:
Is the "Adobe PDF Creation Add-On XI 156 MB" a crippled Acrobat XI?
(I've been told yes. As I have Professional Acrobat XI, I don't want this.)
If I uncheck the "Adobe PDF Creation Add-On XI", it unchecks the Adobe Framemaker12 box above it
BUT DOES NOT UNCHECK the Adobe Framemaker 12 (1.3 GB) box on the left.
I can't find any documentation about what is included in this package.
Do I want these files?

SLES10 SP4/OES2 SP3 32 bit Clean Install - Basic Questions

Hi everyone.
I am now an expert in installing the above software and ending up with a server which does not work as we require. Must be something I am doing wrong. Hope someone can spot it.
Have installed and supported Netware servers for 25 years without major problems. Decided now to move to SLES because Novell say we should and we need Groupwise 12 to replace GroupWise 8.
The operational environment we are targeting is an 80 user edirectory/NDS based single tree, single context containing two Netware 6.5 SP8 HP Proliant servers running uncomplicated file and print services , NSS volumes, Groupwise 8, DHCP, ifolder, Quickfinder and the like, spread across the two servers. It all works a treat. Client PCs are are all XP Pro with Novell client software.
The idea would be to replace one of the two Netware servers first with a SLES/OES server and then the second Netware server with a second SLES/OES server and move GroupWise functionality to one of the SLES/OES servers. Ideally users would continue to log on using their eDirectory accounts without noticing anything was going on in the background.
The test environment we have set up is a 5 user NDS/eDirectory single tree, single context already containing a single Netware 6.5 SP8 Proliant server running file and print, NSS volumes etc and Groupwise 8. Into this tree we are trying to install a 32 bit server with a empty 36 GB SCSI disc running SLES 10 SP4 with OES2 DP3 as an add in, with NSS data volumes.
Because it only takes a few hours to do we have repeatedly run the SLES 10/OES2 install (probably about 9 times!) with minor variations to see whether we can end up with a properly configured SLES/OES server but there is always one problem or another.
The major problem we have is how to configure NSS data volumes on the SLES server and how to allow users to be validated against their eDirectory entries and knowing whether the test server is 'good to go'.
The process we followed for each test install, after checking edirectory was clean and removing any entries placed in the tree by earlier attempts to install the SLES server in the same tree were:
1. Boot the SLES 10 SP4 32 DVD (downloaded ISO and burnt DVD) and selected Installation.
2. Followed the prompts on time zone and language etc and selected i386 OES CD (also downloaded ISO and burnt) as the Software Add-In.
3. Loaded SLES DVD and OES CD as and when requested
4. At the Partitioning stage we selected the EVMS proposal, and at the Software selection stage selected the base software, file server Role, Documentation, DHCP, eDirectory, iFolder, iPrint, Quickfinder, NSS and LDAP.
5. Miscellaneous errors would appear or not appear during the eDirectory stage (eg LUM error, or iFolder error) but the eDirectory stage would still seem to complete OK and get ticked.
6. The system would then reboot and appear to come up OK.
HOWEVER, we are not convinced we have created a fully working reliable server.
and
SPECIFICALLY we are unable to create NSS volumes and we cannot logon users via their eDirectory accounts.
NSSMU shows a single device sda (33.92 Gb) and three partitions sda1 (70Mb), sda2 (31.91GB), and sda3 (1.94GB). sda2 seems to contain all the 'spare' space on the disk (type Linux LVM) but says there is no spare space to create our NSS partitions.
iManager cannot see any devices to configure NSS data volumes on the SLES server but it connects OK
NSSCON status seems to show NSS to be running
EVMSGUI shows /dev/evms/lvm2/system/ro at 10 Gb, /dev/evms/lvm2/system/sw at 2GB and /dev/evms/sda1 at 70 Mb
So my questions are:
Does the above look right?
Why cannot we get at the spare disk space to set up NSS volumes? Did the EVMS proposal grab it all and if so how do we get it back?
Did not selecting the EVMS partitioning proposal do everything needed to run NSS?
[There seems to be some suggestion in the several hundred pages of SLES, OES and NSS Guides, Installation manuals, Configuration manuals etc that we have studied over several days, that we now have to edit a fstab file to make it work properly (Really? in this day and age where clicking on Setup.Exe will configure a fully working Windows server) Is that so? Is there anything else we need to do?]
How do we get the users to access their NDS accounts to log into SLES and Netware?
How do we know the server is OK for operaational use and 'works' ?
HELP!!!

You are partially correct. Admins who used NSS on NetWare likely did
install NSS on OES Linux but I suspect they used a separate drive for
NSS either by installing an additional drive, by carving out a chunk of
space on their RAID array and assigning it to a separate LUN, or by
running OES in a VM where storage space on a single disk/array can
appear as separate drives.

Semantics!
IDEAL = Recommended; EVMS != IDEAL; EVMS != Recommended;
IMO, Novell recognised that they had to provide a way for customers to
install NSS on a system that only had a single disk and provided this
procedure as a workaround. By the way, they also support 2-node
clusters but they aren't recommended either. I have also seen cases
where a supported configuration was deemed no longer to be supported as
NTS became aware of additional complications.
My point (and Simon's and ab/Aaron's) is this: Just because it is
supported doesn't mean you should do it. If we can agree on this point,
I'll try to help you to get it working. The last thing I want to do is
give others the impression that by helping you find a solution we think
this is a good idea!!!

Let's look at the default proposal. This is *not* what you have.

A single (SATA/SAS/SCSI) drive will be known as sda (/dev/sda).
/dev/sda1 is the first partition. In the example and in your
configuration this is the /boot partition. In both cases it is 70.5 MB.
/dev/sda2 is the second partition. The partition uses LVM so logical
volumes of various sizes can be created within the partition. The total
size of all logical volumes cannot be larger than the size of the
partition.
In the above example:
/root is 10.0 GB and swap is 1.1 GB. This leaves: 14.9 - (10.0 + 1.1) =
3.8 GB of additional space within /sda2 which can be used to create
additional logical volumes. Furthermore sda1 + sda2 use only ~ 15 GB.
Only 15 GB of the disk has been allocated. The remainder of the disk is
*unallocated* and *unpartitioned*. Presumably, it was left that way so
that the space could be used for NSS.
In your case: sda2 is 31.91 GB
This does not follow the Default EVMS Proposal for Devices over 20 GB
in Size. Either YaST did not allocate space according to the default
proposal or you changed it. Either way, sda2 (+sda3) consume *all* of
the available disk space. It is no wonder that there is no space
available for NSS!
> What do you reckon???
I reckon that something went wrong along the way. If you did not
specifically change the default allocation yourself, then consider this
one example of kinds the things that can happen when one tries to
exploit seldom used, but supported, features!
It looks like it is time for yet another installation. This time, make
sure you leave enough unpartitioned space on the drive for NSS and let
me know how you make out.

Hello,
Yes, normally holding alt key or option key will show your boot choices, but some Linux distros need a boot manager installed.

Server Specs for a 11.1.1.3 Install Important questions.

I've put together some specifications for a Development Server & Production Server, any comments appreciated. I hope this post acts as a good reference sample for anybody else out there looking to implement a Hyperion Planning.
Client Tier: (2 developers)
Windows
8 GB RAM
Dual Core Processor
Components: EAS client, Smart View, Excel Add-in
Web Tier:
HTTP Web and J2EE Servers:
Windows + (not sure which version would be best here, any ideas appreciated)+
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ, 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32 GB
Components: Foundation: HSS, Workspace, Planning, Web Applications: EAS, Financial Reporting, Web Analysis, Planning,
Services Tier:
Server1:
Windows (2003 SP1, R2)
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ 64 bit
RAM: 16 GB
Disk: 32GB
Components: Essbase Server 64 bit
Server2:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: Reporting & analysis, Financial Reporting Print Services, ODI
Server 3:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: FDM
Database Tier:
4 x 3 GHZ - 8 GB RAM
DISK: 100GB RDBMS
200GB Essbase Storage
The specifications will be similar for the production for abotu 25 - 30 users (10 concurrent), with RAM being a little bumped up.
One important question: I might need guidance on installing 32 bit planning or FDM on the 64 bit server - any known issues with this? Also any known issues with 64 bit Essbase working with 32 bit Planning?

obviously its hard to comment on whether it is the perfect spec for your environment, it looks alright to me, it is not under spec.
For the web tier as you are running reporting and analysis and the other machines are windows based personally I would stick with windows 2003.
Is there any reason why you have one machine dedicated just to FDM, seems a bit of an overkill just for one product, it may be worth combining services server 2 with FDM, just a suggestion though

Hello,
I'm installing SCM 2007 and have a questions on a coulpe of the post steps.
1. 5.18 BI-Specific Post-Installation Steps (pg 107 of install guide). Has anyone done these steps and can you explain them to me? It looks like it's wanting me to do a client copy. I already did one of those as part of the post insall steps. Are these steps to be done in the BI system or the SCM system. Thank you.
5.18 BI-Specific Post-Installation Steps
After you have installed the SAP SCM system , you need to perform the following post-installation
steps for BI ABAP.

4. Maintain a client.
5. Assign the logical system to the new client:
a) Call transaction SPRO.
b) Choose Integration with SAP components Integration via APO Core Interface (CIF) Basic Settings for
Creating the System Landscape Assign Logical Systems to a Client .
Note
If you need more than one client, repeat steps 4 and 5.
6. Log on to one of the new clients with sap/pass.The creation of the user sap can be disabled
with the parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar.
7. Install the liveCache according to the documentation Installation Guide SAP liveCache for NetWeaver 7.0,
available on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/install70.

11. Log on to the new client that was set in step 10.
2. 5.21 Activating Services for the Web UI for SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC). It tells me to look in Solution Manager to see which services I need to activate. Can someone describe where I find that in Solution Manager or which services I need to activate? Thank you.
5.21 Activating Services for the Web UI for SAP Supply
Network Collaboration (SAP SNC)
To be able to use the web user interface for SAP SNC, you must activate services with transaction

Middleware products install process questions

Hello,
I have to install middleware products (OID, OAM, OID, SOA, ...) on my configuration.
I first install Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12c, then I ran $MW_HOME/oracle_common/bin/rcu in order to create database schemas (Oracle AS Repository Components only).
Now, I have following questions :
1) As my policy is to create one domain per product, do I have to create an infra_domain or not?
2) Do you think this installation chronology is correct?
a) Install all middleware products.
b) Run rcu for each product.
c) Create all products domains.
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Yes Weblogic 12C would work with HTTP Server 12 .
Yes it is necessary to install WLS 10.3.6 because the 11g products which are Identity and Access Manager, Internet Directory, WebCenter would only be supported with 10.3.6.
So it is mandatory to install Weblogic 10.3.6 in a separate the Middleware Home.
Regards,
Prakash.

Knowledge Transfer Preparation Questions

Hi Friends
I have recently joined as a BW Analyst and will be attending another work location for Knowledge Transfer about the current system from one of the BW Consultant.
I would appreciate your views regarding important questions I need to ask during this session and also what preparation I need to make in advance so that I dont miss out anything.
Your valuable answers will be rewarded.
Many Thanks and Regards

HI P B,
For the KT perspective, following points are important.
1. Take a copy of all the documentation done at onsite...design docs, Func. Specs, Tech Specs
2. Have a list of all the object developed
3. You should be having all the business rule, if any, on your finger tips
4. Understand all the coding involved
5. Naming convention should be clarify.
6. Overall, you should have a bird's eye view of the project understanding.
hope its helpful

11gR2 em install / config question.

We just loaded 11gR2 onto a virtual server running Win 2008 Server R2. During the installation of the database,
I received 5 or 6 missing file messages and I told the installer to ignore and continue. One of those files was
dbhome_1\...\em.jar.
Will this preclude me from getting em up? Should I deinstall/reinstall the 11gR2?
When I ran emctl start dbconsole I received this message:
can't locate CompEMdbconsole.pm in @inc <@inc contains ..(list of files).......emctlCommon.pm line 598
From this question you'll probably surmise that I'm relatively inexperienced.
Suggested reading info is always appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Thanks for the reply. I used dbca to create a database which I had thought was done
during the original install. It ran forever and eventually gave me an error message
'Error Instantiating OC4J files'. When I looked in the emconfig.log file, there were
several missing xml files in E:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oc4j\j2ee\
OC4J_DBConsole\config\
jms.xml
rm1.xml
http-web-site.xml
server.xml
In fact, the 'config' folder was empty. Going back to my original question regarding
those missing files, why would they be missing? Is the oem a separate install
process or is it done when the 11g database is installed?
Thanks, Ron
