Queries About Migration From MS BPC 7.0 to NW BPC 10.0

Hi,
This is about undertaking a migration exercise from BPC 7.0 MS Version to BPC 10.0 NW Version.
I would like to know about the changes that might affect the entire applications setup when the migration takes place - as in what would be the scope of changes in the functions, scripts, business rules, input forms and reports? Also please give an overview about the risks associated with the same - both from the design and technical perspectives would be helpful.
Thanks,

Hi,
Pls chk this :

  • Thinking about migrating from BPC MS 7.0 to BPC NW 7.0 or 7.5

    Has anyone gone through a migration from the MS 7.0 platform to the NW 7.0 platform?  If so, what were the biggest challenges that you came across?  Do you see any benefits from doing this?

    Matt -
    Migration to BPC NW is not straight forward and here are few areas of concern:-
    1. Complete re-write of SSIS to SAP Process Chains
    2. Re-visit (almost a re-write) your Script Logic
    3. Fix Reprots/Input Schedules
    4. Post Migration:
        a) Migration doesn't take time and goes well in weekend window (say 10-12 hrs..even less)
        b) Post migration validation process takes a long period (depending on how much functionality you have rolled-out in BPC MS)
    5. Security, which is different in BPC
    6. Case-sensitivy is another thing to consider (tool will take care of it)..still need to validate
    Hope this gives you some idea.
    Cheers!

  • Problem with some queries after migration from MS Access

    Hi everyone!
    We've just finished a migration from a MS Access database and we notice some errors when running some queries like :
    Query1:
    SELECT A.field1, A.field2, B.field1 as FieldTmp
    FROM A,B
    where (B.field1 <=10);
    Query2:
    SELECT Query1.field1, Query1.field2, Query1.FieldTmp
    FROM Query1 LEFT JOIN Table3
    ON (Table3.field1 = Query1.Field2) AND
    (Table3.field5 = Query1.FieldTmp)
    WHERE ((Table3.field5) Is Null)
    ORDER BY Query1.field1, Query1.FieldTmp;
    The Query1 runs as expected, but when I try to run the Query2 I got a ORA-00904 error message. If I remove the (Table3.field5 = Query1.FieldTmp) statement or modify to compare with another field (as instance, field2) everything goes fine.
    If I modify the first query to a make-table query, the Query2 request runs as desired too.
    Is there anything that we can do to keep the queries statement as it is when using the MS Access DB?
    Thanks in advance,
    Elaine Viel Denadai

    Hi Turloch! Thanks for your help!
    Those SQL Statements were extracted from the MS Access application that we will continue to use to access the data , now on an Oracle Database.
    I don't know what I can do to make this kind of statements works as it is on Access database. The first query, that I called Query1 works fine on Oracle, I just mentioned it because the 2nd Query , named Query2, use it.
    I'm not able to understand why when I change the 1st. query to a "make-table" query the Query2 works as desired, but if I keep the Query1 and Query2 as it is on the MS Access Application I got the ODBC error message and the ORA-00904 error message , related (I think!) to the FieldTmp field used on the LEFT JOIN statement (AND).
    As I told before, if I change the AND clause to compare to another field, as instance, field1 :
    FROM Query1 LEFT JOIN Table3
    ON (Table3.field1=Query1.Field2) AND
    (Table3.field5 = Query1.Field1)
    it works.
    Please, is there anything that I can do to keep the MS Access Application unchanged?
    Oracle = 8.1.6
    Oracle ODBC Driver = 8.1.6.4
    Oracle Migration Workbench = 1.3.1
    Thanks in advance,

  • About migrating from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3 (page events)

    Hi forum,
    As authentication based on public key certificates only works under jdev 10.1.3.1, I'm upgrading my 10.1.2 application to that version. I'm following the Oracle document "Converting to the ADF Page Lifecycle from 10.1.2" (http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/jdeveloper/10.1.3?topic=adf_convertingfrom10_1_2_html) that it's a really great help. However, this document doesn't explain how to migrate page events. In UIX, a submitButton may have an "event" attribute that fires the method called onEventName in the DataPage class. In ADF Faces, I don't know how to do that. The document previously mentioned doesn't say anything about this topic. The solution I've tryed is the following:
    As document "API Changes from ADF UIX" (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/api-changes.html) explains, submitButton turns into commandButton and event attribute is replaced by an actionlistener. So, in my jspx page:
    <af:commandButton id="myButton" text="Search" actionListener="#{pageCode.listen}"/>
    <af:commandButton id="myOtherButton" text="All" actionListener="#{pageCode.listen}" />
    In faces-config.xml:
    <managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>pageCode</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>com.mycompany.web.struts.actions.MyPageController</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
    </managed-bean>
    In controller class, I replace DataActionContext by PageLifecycleContext in events parameters. Furthermore, a listen method is added:
    public class MyPageController extends PageController
    // I want to migrate this event
    public void onSearch (PageLifecycleContext ctx)
    // code of page event inherited from 10.1.2
    // I want to migrate this event
    public void onAll (PageLifecycleContext ctx)
    // code of page event inherited from 10.1.2
    // This is the method I've just added
    public void listen (ActionEvent e)
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
    PageLifecycleContext plc = (PageLifecycleContext)request.getAttribute("ADFLifecycleContext");
    String idButton = (String)e.getComponent().getAttributes().get("id");
    if (idButton.equals("myButton"))
    onSearch(plc);
    else if (idButton.equals("myOtherButton"))
    onAll(plc);
    I'd like to know if there is any other simplier way to do event migration from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3.
    Thanks in advance.
    Luis Serrano.

    If you change your view objects to use the new named bind variables in 10.1.3, then you can do what you were doing in prepareModel in a declarative way now using the invokeAction executable in your page definition to trigger the firing of an executeWithParams action.
    You can study example #76 on my blog to see an example of doing this:
    http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html#76
    If you want to do things programmatically still, which is fine of course, then you can reference section 10.5.4.3 "Using Custom ADF Page Lifecycle to Invoke an onPageLoad Backing Bean Method" in the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers on the ADF Learning Center at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html The key benefit of this approach is that if you have a backing bean for your page, it allows you to put your prepareModel code inside the backing bean in an onPageLoad() method so you don't end up with both a backing bean and a page controller class for that page.
    Of course, you can also still use a customized PageController class and override prepareModel() as you did before. All of these ways are viable.

  • Several questions about migrating from iPhoto to Aperture

    I'm currently a heavy iPhoto user and am looking into migrating to Aperture. Can anyone give me a sense of what I to expect if/when I make this switch?
    Here are several particular things I'm wondering about:
    1. iPhoto works great as a computerized photo album for casual browsing. (I can see a page of different events with mouse-over previews, plus I can hide poorer shots so that I can just view the highlights.) Will Aperture be a step back in this department? If so, is it possible to "share" my Aperture photos with iPhoto without keeping two parallel copies of everything?
    2. When I import an edited photo from iPhoto to Aperture, will the iPhoto "original" become the Aperture "original" and the iPhoto "modified" become the Aperture "modified? Is the same true if I export an edited photo from Aperture to iPhoto?
    3. Does Aperture have an analog for "hidden" photos? I currently mark my best shot from a series by hiding the rest. Will I lose this marking if I migrate to Aperture or is there a way to preserve it?
    4. I currently have a number of short video clips (taken with my point-and-shoot's video feature) mixed in with the iPhoto albums. (iPhoto really does let me keep everything organized in one place!) If I understand correctly, Aperture won't let me store these in my Aperture library alongside the still-photos of the same subjects. Is this correct? If so, how have other people handled this?
    5. Do EXIF tags get re-read upon import from iPhoto to Aperture? I've got a number of iPhoto files which I've retroactively geotagged with HoudahGeo. Will the tagging be lost (since iPhoto is not currently aware of the geotagging as the EXIF tags have not been re-read)... or will Aperture now recognize this metadata?
    6. If worst-comes-to-worst and I give up on Aperture after a few months, how painful will it be to un-migrate back to iPhoto? More importantly, what album metada (e.g. events, albums, ratings, tags, notes, dates, hidden-ness, links between original and modified versions of a photo, iWeb references, etc.) will be lost? In other words, if I were to import everything from iPhoto to Aperture, wipe my iPhoto library clean, and then export everything back from Aperture to iPhoto, what information will have been destroyed?
    Thanks in advance for any answers to this long list of questions!

    Here are several observations (read: warnings) in case anyone else is considering migrating a significant iPhoto library to Aperture...
    A) Pictures marked as "hidden" appear to be silently skipped over (along with video clips, as was expected) when importing an iPhoto library to Aperture. They do not appear in the relevant Aperture project regardless of the filtering options.
    B) Both iPhoto originals and modifieds are imported. The former are given the keyword "iPhoto original" and the latter are given the keyword "iPhoto modified." Each pair of photos is put into a single Aperture "stack." Both photos are given the same tags/ratings (so, for example, the un-rotated, uncropped, poorly balanced original will show up alongside the nice clean "modified" if you were to filter for 5-star images), and both files are given identical "version names" (equal to the "name field" in iPhoto). In most cases the original -- not the modified version -- was set as the stack's "pick" and displayed when the stack was collapsed. *Significantly, I could find no way of creating a view in Aperture that showed one copy of each picture, with the "iphoto modified" version displayed for photos that had been modified in iPhoto and the original version displayed for photos that had never been modified in iPhoto!* (This is, of course, the way they are shown in iPhoto.)
    C) My understanding of "stacks" is that they are designed to help organize multiple "tries" at the same shot (e.g., I want to make sure that nobody's eyes are closed in the group photo, so I press the shutter six times in quick succession -- I'm going to pick a "best" one will be mostly interested in that shot from then on). This is a fantastic idea! However things get confusing if you are already using stacks to track original and modified versions (as described above)... particularly if your stack should contain six pictures plus original versions of each. Plus, as I mentioned, the "original" version is usually the default "pick" in each stack.
    D) After import, "iPhoto original" versions of portrait photos appear un-rotated. Normally, my cameras (including a Nikon D80, an iPhone, and others) mark photos' orientations and they are automatically displayed in the correct orientation. Aperture appears to consider this auto-rotation an iPhoto edit and helpfully displays the "iPhoto original" always in landscape.
    E) Aperture may incorrectly import events whose names contain a "/" or a ".", so if your event names contain dates, rewrite them with "-"s before importing to Aperture.
    F) Aperture does have a rough mouse-over-the-icon-to-flip-through view, similar to the "events" pane in iPhoto... although you will lose your choice of which photo serves as the default icon for each event when you import your library from iPhoto, and you cannot "hide" photos from appearing in the flip-through as you can with iPhoto.
    G) Perhaps it's my inexperience with the program, but I could find no way to sort the project list by date (vs. alphabetically), nor could I find any way to make a correction to a single photo's date/time.
    As a bottom line, remember that Aperture is definitely not "iPhoto Plus." It lacks a number of iPhoto's features, but in exchange gives you a number of really slick tools aimed at streamlining a digital photography workflow.
    I'd also encourage people to think very carefully before moving a large, well-organized iPhoto library to Aperture. You may lose a fair amount of information, and the result will take a lot of work to "make pretty" again. It does look like a nice program, though. Are you ready to relegate all of your existing pictures to an iPhoto "pre-history" and start over with a blank -- but much fancier -- slate in Aperture?

  • Question about migration from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2

    Hi,
    I've 10g 10.1.0.5 installed (by installing some patches).
    Now I need 10.2.
    Can I reach this with pathches (and which one(s)), or do I have to install from scratch an 10.2 ?
    Any reaction will be appreciated.
    Leo

    Can I reach this with patches No, you have to install the base release of 10.2 and then migrate.

  • General queries about going from Tiger Quadcore to Leopard Octocore

    For those who have switched from their Tiger Quadcore MacPros to the new Leopard Octocore MacPros...I had some questions about the set up and how things are running now since its already upto 10.5.2
    I run basically these programs:
    Adobe Photoshop CS2
    ImageReady CS2
    Illustrator CS2
    InDesign CS2
    Dreamweaver / Flash / Fireworks 8
    Office 2004
    ProTools LE
    is there a general lack of support for the CS2 Applications and the Macromedia Applications?
    I dont have the funds at my disposal to unload on the entire CS3 Suite ( I REALLY WOULD BUT cant now...so CS2 is my only bet)
    Is there still support for the future with CS2 and Macromedia8?
    i realize theyre old Apps but they have faired well for me for the past few years
    Im just trying to get a general conscious of what to expect ~ i have tried running leopard on this set up ran CS2, Macromedia 8 and Office 04 didnt seem bad at all..but i wasnt sure as i didnt spend all day every day with them and moving to that specific platform id like to kind of be aware of any issues anyone has experienced first hand as there is no going back then - lol.

    Moved to Leopard with new Machine and the Bridge in CS2 stopped working and all I can get out of
    Adobe is so or this will not be supported.

  • Doubt about migrating from exchange 5.5 to Java Enterprise Communication

    Hi all,
    I guest this is the proper forum to make this question if not sorry for the disturbs.
    Currently we're using exchange server 5.5 as mail server, now my boss want to migrate the mail server and is my moment to change to a real mail server "messaging Server".
    Main problem here is the migration process, I've looked for info in "docs.sun.com" and I've found several documentation about this migration process, but the best I've found is the document about SGMT toolkit.
    If this toolkit is free a big part of my problems will dissapear.
    Therefore here are my questions:
    * Is the SGMT toolkit free?, if not anyone knows about the cost?
    * Just in case SGMT is too expensive, anyone knows about a different way to migrate the exchange mails to Messaging Server? (any url or doc will be welcome)
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Kind Regards

    As far as I know, SGMT toolkit itself is free, but you must attend a training session to get it, and that training is not free.
    You have to contact your sun salesperson to get it.
    There are a variety of free IMAP tools available to migrate messages, if you either know or can change user passwords.
    If your users can be trusted, you can have them use IMAP to migrate their own mail.
    I don't know Exchange, at all, but if it can export mailboxes to unix format, Messaging Server can accept that with "imsimport".

  • Question about migrating from iPhoto to Aperture 3

    I have been using the free trial of Aperture 3 after importing my iPhoto library with the option chosen of storing the files in their original location. I am now considering purchasing the program. My question is: Should I just carry on, or would it be better (or worse) to import the files into Aperture, placing them in a new Aperture library, then deleting my iPhoto library? I have not done any significant work in the trial so this is the time do redo it if it is preferable. If this question does not make sense then I would appreciate knowing that too. Many thanks!

    Andrew
    One of the ways that Aperture is much more powerful than iPhoto is in how it relates to the Master files.
    From your post I understand that you imported to Aperture leaving the Originals in iPhoto, right?
    There is no need to now move the original files into Aperture. You can leave them where they are, move them elsewhere or bring them over to Aperture. Whichever decision you make Aperture can work with and help you do do it.
    Check out 'Relocate Masters' in the Aperture Help for more.

  • Migration from G4 iMac to new(ish) Macbook

    My daughter is graduating HS (yay!) and going to a great college in the fall (double yay!) and her grandma has given her a nearly-new white MacBook (2.16Ghz) (triple yay!) as a graduation present. Grandma, bless her heart, decided she needed a faster machine. Some people buy sports cars, Grandma likes having the newest and sleekest Mac. We love Grandma!
    I am reading up on the steps to help daughter migrate her data from the G4 iMac (which also came from grandma) to the Macbook. It seems fairly simple, and I've done Target Disk before so don't think I can go far wrong but if anyone can check/correct these steps:
    1. Backup everything important from the iMac. (mainly her photo and music libraries as all her work is HS related and she's happy to be rid of it) DONE
    2. MacBook has grandma's account and preferences set, so we should restore from the install disks to get a fresh start. Right?
    3. Once the MacBook is set up with her new account, migrate her stuff over via TDM. I think Migration Assistant won't work due to the disparity between machines.
    4. De-authorize the iMac from our family iTunes account (already maxed out) and authorize the MacBook.
    5. Install any needed software (MS Office & ?) from disks or .dmg.
    6. Either pass iMac on to sibling or completely wipe it and sell it for $10. It has some ailment that is causing me to have to reset the PMU, so I suspect imminent component failure. Excellent time to upgrade!
    Thanks for any tips, suggestions, or corrections!

    Please read the following about migrating from a PPC to an Intel Mac:
    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.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
    Intel In Macs
    Apple Guide to Universal Applications
    MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
    MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
    MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
    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, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
    will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
    1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    5. 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.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

    MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
    MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
    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)

    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.

  • Macbook air migration from mbook pro

    hi i currently have 76gb on my hard drive on my macbook pro. when the mb air arrives with 80gb will their be enough room on the Air to do a migration or will i have to delete things off the macbook pro first to do the full migration?
    Thanks
    Rob

    i have NOTHING nice to say about migrating from a macbook pro to this thing you call a computer. my client put it best when he called it a "glamorized cellphone." its a lemon people. hang onto your macbook pros, this thing is like totally ********. all i can say is with migrating or "upgrading" from your "old" macbook pro, GOOD LUCK!
    the first thing apple said to me yesterday when i was trying to get support for migrating was "*oh, you can use firewire to firewire*" "what, the macbook air doesn't have firewire?" *no kidding*. it took them forever to tell me how to get the ethernet to usb adapter working +(I needed to plug both computers into a router--not so wireless sounding!? nope, and there is no direct computer-to-computer way, apparently, although he did mention usb to usb, the one thing I didn't try)+. wireless transfer was going to take 8 hours for 4 gigs of info , I finally saw that I could migrate using a time machine backup, but even that was ridiculous. His initial user folder was 60 gigs, which wouldn't fit. I would have had to backup his old computer by stripping it down first, which would just be ridiculous. I mean, this is his setup, why is Apple releasing something that is having us have to strip our machines down to the barest of bones. Its 2008, not 2000!
    i spent 7 hours trying to migrate my client from his "old" computer. his mail alone filled up half the memory available, and we couldn't fit his photos, his MUSIC, any of that. so he has to lug a hard drive around with him wherever he goes, luckily his firewire glyph porta drives have a usb 2 connection, but we had to order him a powered usb port! he was SO BUMMED he spent as much money as he did to get the one with the super fast (64 gig) harddrive.
    at the end of it all we gave up. i think he is going to send his back to apple and keep his macbook. i've set up his computers for 10 years, he always gets the latest. this migration was for all intents and purposes, miserable! she looks great though, and she is a fast machine.

  • Migration from macmini to 2014 macmini (yosemite)

    Any advice about migration from an 2009 to a new 2014 macmini using yosemite on both machines.
    Apple does not provide guidence as they seem stuck in earlier os.

    This is the best information that I have found.     Move your data to a new Mac - Apple Support
    I have run it successfully for my applications, but my user pictures, music, and documents didn't come across.
    It may be because I cancelled and restarted the migration several times so I wouldn't recommend doing that.

  • Migrating from G4 PowerBook to i7 MBP: Use assistant?

    Just received my new 17" i7 MBP and I'm planning to migrate from my old PowerBook this weekend. Would I be better off using Migration Assistant for everything, or just for some things, or not at all? I don't mind re-installing applications from scratch if that's the healthier way...

    Jo,
    Using MA would be fine however I would only use it for your data files. I don't recommend using it for migrating your applications, for those you should manually install each app which also give you the opportunity to update those that need it. There are many many threads about migrating from PPC machines to Intel based machines, you may want to look though some to see if you can pick up some valuable hints.
    Regards,
    Roger
