Queries Migration from 3.5 to 7.0

Hello,
My clients wants to migrate about 2000 queries from 3.5 to 7.0
But before starting to do my client wants to make sure all objects are migrated and if there will be any dependencies or if the query result might change due to something.
Therefore they want to create some sample queries with
Customer Exits,
Formulas,
Key figure Structures,
Conditions,
Cell references
Calculated key figure,
Restricted Key Figures
Global and local objects.
and check if the query result will be same when executed in 3.5 and 7.0 and if there will be any dependencies.
Please suggest on this?

Hi,
As you said you laready have 2000 queries. The easiet way would be
Copy few of the queris (which are having all required objects) using RSZC tcode in 3.x then open the same query in 7.x.
It will upgrade the query and you may check the impact.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,
S

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

Difference in behavior of sql and pl/sql after migrating from 9i to 11g

after migrating our database from oracle 9i to oracle11g, the developpers are worry that the behavior of the queries and pl/sql procedures/functions will change
example :
in 9i, select salary,count(*) from emp group by salary, it will display the rows sorted by salary
in 11gi, select salary,count(*) from emp group by salary, it will display the rows not sorted by default, we have to add the clause order by salary.
somebody could give the list of other difference in behavior (SQL and PL/SQL) agter migrating from 9i to 11g
Thanks a lot.

Tell your developers: garbage in - garbage out. In relational databases only ORDER BY ensures row order. If your developers relied on GROUP BY implemented by SORT and therefore returning ordered rows they had to realize code they wrote is Oracle release dependent and sooner or later code would require changes. And that "sooner or later" is now reality. In newer versions ORACLE can do GROUP BY via SORT or via HASH. And if it is done via HASH - don't expect ordered results. So tell your developers "payback time".

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard to new iMac running Mountain Lion

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard time machine files to new iMac running Mountain Lion. I can run connection doctor OK. But the activity window is blank. If you try to open message viewer window then mail program crashes. Would really like to get my old emails back as the old imac is totally dead. Thanks for any help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Problem with foreign and primary keys migration from SQL Server to Oracle

Hi folks, i'm using SQL Developer to migrate from a SQL Server database to Oracle and i'm stuck with a couple issues:
The worst of them so far is the fact that i can't migrate any of the PKs and FKs. After successfully capturing the SQL Server DB model and converting it to Oracle, when the tool generates the scripts, all ALTER TABLE queries that add the PKs and FKs have their target columns duplicated.
for example: when i'm trying to migrate a simple table that contains an Id (PK) and Name columns, the tool generates the following scripts:
PROMPT Creating Table TestTable...
CREATE TABLE TestTable (
Id NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL,
Name VARCHAR2 NOT NULL
PROMPT Creating Primary Key Constraint PK_TestTable on table TestTable ...
ALTER TABLE TestTable
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TestTable PRIMARY KEY
Id,
Id
ENABLE
As for the FKs, the tool duplicates the columns as well:
ALTER TABLE SomeTable
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_SomeTable_SomeTable2 FOREIGN KEY
SomeTable2Id,
SomeTable2Id
REFERENCES SomeTable2
Id,
Id
ENABLE
Does anyone have a clue on how to solve these issues? I'd be greatly thankful for any answers!

Hi Fernando,
I was unable to replicate this issue. My primary / foreign keys where defined using unique columns.
PROMPT Creating Primary Key Constraint PK_Suppliers on table Suppliers ...
ALTER TABLE Suppliers
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Suppliers PRIMARY KEY
SupplierID
ENABLE
I tried a few things like
capturing twice and renaming both models the same
renaming the converted models
but with no luck.
I think this issue is occuring either at the capture or convert phase.
1) Are you performing the capture online or offline?
2) Can you provide a the entire DDL for one of these tables and its indexes to see if I can replicate?
3) Did the capture or convert fail or have to be redone at any stage ?
I all else fails I would attempt a capture and convert again using a brand new repository (create a new schema in Oracle and associate the migration repository with it).

Very difficult migration from MS Access to Oracle with SQL Developer

Dear Developers
I have tried to used for one Project Oracle Sql Developer Migration from Access to Oracle (Application Express). Was about an evaluation if Oracle Express (with Application Express) or Mysql (with PHP) as target database.
I am working with Oracle for 14 years and i earn my money in projects related with Oracle. Of course i am sentimental and i push every time when an opportunity comes to have as an option Oracle.
This time beside my sentimental approach the decision was different.
I will tell you why and i hope that someone there will listen and make something for a better Product.
I was trying yesterday the whole day to migrate an Microsoft Access database. A nightmare....
1. Microsoft Access Exporter 2000 was too slow. For a 25 MB Access database, running time was 15 Minutes. And 15 minutes to obtain an undocumented error. I followed your instruction and eliminate all references etc... as you described in HELP. a lot of time necessary to read and do..... After that i obtained an Error #..16. Sorry that i don't provide you with an exact number error. i don't have it right know and personally i am not interested anymore. For this error i don't find nothing in forums about it.... Search again and again..... Every time after waiting 15 Minutes in which you don't know exactly what application does or if really does something. I decided to delete sequentially macros, modules, forms, querys from Access database and see where Exporter stops... Time and time lost for trying and searching.... Finally i obtained my XML file only by keeping my Access tables. The file was produced even if i obtained at the end Error #5:..... Because was an error i am not really sure if the file was completly consistent with my database.
2. I followed the next steps and with some errors (enabling, disabling constraints, objects couldn't be created because of different reasons) i had my Model and Oracle Schema. I have tried to export the data from Access and import it in Oracle. data exported was in UTF8 and SQL Loader Control file doesn't have
LOAD DATA
character set utf8
So i tried to add the string "character set utf8" in my dozens of CTL files - with a freeware of course.....
Maybe you can say that if i knew that from the beginning i would have set my character set in SQL Developer. I don't know and i will not ever try with this product!
So finally after hours of working and trying and playing with my nerves, reading a lot of forums and documentation, i had an Oracle schema, maybe incomplete because of different errors at so much migration stages.
And now i have tried for the first time in my life MySQL Migration Toolkit. I read that for migration to MYSQL this tool is what i needed.
I recommend you to try the product and see something about the quality required for a piece of software. Is not enough if your product runs OK with Nortwind DEMO Access database. It should run OK with all ACCESS databases.
With the tool i have done the job in 5 MINUTES. Simple, efficiently and without errors. At the end i had the SQL Scripts and the DATA imported in the database.
Difficult to say something now. I am sentimental but i asked mysef if you can do something to improve the quality of the product.
What arguments can we provide for a client in Migration from Access to Oracle ???? Can you honestly answer at that?
Please try this MYSQL Migration Toolkit.....Maybe this give you some ideas about simple tasks and about what we really need...
Best regards
Adrian

Dear Barry and Kgronau
Thank you very much for your response. My Post was after a long day of trying to import an MDB file.
Maybe you can understand why i was so angry...
Yes i understand that your tool try to do more than other even if actually you don't really convert too much.
From Modules to make some procedures where the whole code is commented! .....
For other MDB which i tried to import in APEX the forms where really not usable. Queries are full of errors requires most of the time manual corrections.
I am sorry that i can not provide you with this MDB which cause these problems.
Data and software doesn't belong to me and the company which own it can not provide to you.
What i hope from your product is, even when errors come, to show a better error explanation. At what object in Access error ocures ? This is very important because i can correct my MDB or just delete the module,form,query in cause if SQL Developer doesn't like it....
Just showing an error Error #.... doesn't help me too much. And if an error occurs i don't know if program continues to work or is dead. No information about this. Maybe you can show that your application is alive and does something (working status etc...) ! Anyway we wait long minutes in front of dead screen....
Again, thank you very much for your attention

Hi,
The auditLevel is set to production.
I made the rollback to version 10.1.3.4, after the rollback to the version 10.1.3.4, the environment throughput is very better.
My feeling is the database utilization on version 10.1.3.5 is very high comparing to version 10.1.3.4. The cost of queries is most elevated.

Query Migration from BW 3.5 to BW 7.0

Dear All,
We are in the process of migrating from BW 3.5 to BW 7.0 and need to find answers to the following-
Will the query variants created with BEx 3.5 and BW 3.5 be available with BEx 7.0/ BEx 3.5 in BW 7.0.
What all settings need to be made to ensure tht the queries are migrated intact, with variants and other features.
Are there any tables where this data can be found.
We are planning to go-live with 3.5 functionalites as they were, its a technical upgrade.
Regards,
Saurabh Diwakar

Hi Diwakar,
For Query migration - u have to do one simple thing only...
i.e just open the query in 3.x and save it ... then it will be automatically migrated to 7.0...
Hope it helps..
Regards,
V. Vijay

Migration from Brio8 version to Hyperion Interactive reporting version11

Hi,
We are migrating from Brio8 environment to Hyperion Interactive Reporting version 11 environment. I am referring hs_migration.pdf version 11. I am using migration utility tool to do migration.
my question is if I am migrating artifacts from Brio 8 repository to Hyperion 11 reposotory. Will it migrate all the old UUIDS of all the reports to the new repository or will it create new UUIDS for the reports. If that is the case reports which were saved offline referring to webbased queries will work?

Hi.
We are just now attempting an upgrade from Brio 6.5 and the On-Demand Server to Hyperion 9.3. Are any of you able and willing to address questions as they come up? I understand the set up and security of the Brio product thoroughly .. and create reports and EIS sections. BUT ... the terminology change from Brio to Hyp 9 is daunting and I'm needing to know how to begin to construct what in Brio I think of as the "Catalog". I'm interested in keeping our initial Hyp9 implementation simple ... and not take advantage of all the options in Hyp 9 which are not part of Brio.
Thank you!

Concept questions (editing jpegs, migrating from Album/Elements)

Hi Lightroom experts,
I have a collection of jpegs which I have been organizing in Adobe Album, and now Elements 5.0. I was pleased to see that Elements 5 could write the metadata (keywords) to the jpegs rather than relying upon a proprietary database. It was clear to me that in Elements the keywords were in a separate database and one had to expressly write the tags to the files.
In Lightroom there is also a separate database (which requires management - like backing it up on a regular basis). What is not clear to me is how to write the metadata/tags to the original jpeg files. Does that happen automatically or must I instruct Lightroom to do so?
Must I export the files in order to write the adjusted metadata? If so, that means I have two copies (original and exported).
Secondly, I have both Photoshop CS2 and Elements 5.0. Lightroom only has an option to Edit In Elements but I want that option to be Edit in Photoshop. It is unclear how to change that configuration.
Finally, does anyone have any comments regarding migrating from Album/Elements to Lightroom for an amateur photographer like myself? Would you advise that? (I do like what I've seen in Lightroom but need to understand much more).
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.

Fielding,
I switched from Elements 5 after only a few weeks with it when I saw the great improvements in Lightroom from beta 4 to version 1. Several reasons for my switch. One, Elements only supports a few metadata tags, mostly keywords. I needed more to do what I wanted to do. Many people use collections in Elements for things that aren't in my opinion suitable, like for keeping trip or event pictures together. You can have that information in metadata by choosing an appropriate metadata field and using it. I'm using Job Identifier in Workflow myself. So I find the metadata support far superior in Lightroom. I was also concerned that Elements, being a product for hobbyists, would not be able to handle the large number of images I intend to put into the database. I already had trouble with the elements database ballooning so I was very concerned. I also think it has about the ugliest interface I've seen in a long time. I suppose the latter doesn't matter, but LR is SO beautiful!
I can't help you with how to get photoshop to show up. Did you try Edit/Preferences? If Elements is the first one there, the second one allows you to choose. Which Photoshop do you have? Before I got CS2 I think I did have PS find it for Lightroom.
You can ask Lightroom to write out the metadata but it does not do it in such a way that you can see it in some other applications. When it says it writes it out as XMP it means it. It's in there, but you can only see it with applications that can read XMP as opposed to IPTC etc. When you export, it does write the metadata in the way most products expect it. I've decided not to worry about this though because a) I back up my lightroom database, and b) if I do decide to abandon Lightroom, or it abandons me, I will in any case have to export everything because without exporting you don't have the Develop adjustments either. Then I back up my LR backups and my image repository, usually nightly.
My migration from Elements did not go very well but I was lucky because I'd just started entering stuff in Elements when I abandoned it -- so I didn't lose much. You can do a search of this forum, maybe on the word elements, to see several threads about the problems people have had. If you have everything in Album you might try a transfer from that first and see if it works. You can always toss your LR database if you want to try a different way of loading it. You do not have to move your files to import them into LR.
If you want a catalog, you will need a database so you get reasonable response on queries, which is presumably the reason for wanting a catalog. Both the Elements database and the LR database are standard databases that you can manipulate yourself, should you choose to do so. Elements is Access, LR is SQLite. I did look at the Elements db but haven't done anything with the LR database. I hope I don't have to because LR can export the metadata. Collections are not in metadata so I'm using collections only for things I don't need to keep.

Where can I find information on migrating from Business Objects 5 to XI R2?

We want to migrate several Business Objects implementations - some of which are Business Objects 5 and some Business Objects 6 to consolidate them into a XI R2 environment.
I have the document that describes migration from 6.x to XI R2 but what is the process for migrating from Business Objects 5. Do I need to migrate from 5 to 6 and then follow the 6.x to XI R2 migration?
Any pointers to additional hints and tips on migration or how to estimate how much effort is involved would also be welcome.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Following are the detailed steps for migration via Import Wizard:
1] Go to Start > Programs > Business Objects XI Release 2 > BusinessObjects Enterprise > Import Wizard.
2] The Welcome dialog box appears. Click Next.
Setting source and destination environments:
3] In the Specify source environment dialog box, set the following:
u2022 Source: Business Objects Enterprise BO 6.5.x.
u2022User Name:
u2022 Password: visor
BOMain key
Note: Do not check the Import Application Foundation contents option since you are not performing Performance Management migration at this time.
Click Next.
4] The Warning page appears. Click Next.
Note: The source repository can store any file, not just supported agnostic documents. Since the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 architecture requires a plug-in for each file extension, it does not import unsupported files (for example, .zip files and as .svg documents used in corporate dashboards).
5] The Specify destination environment page appears. Set the:
u2022 Destination: Business Objects Enterprise BOXI R2
u2022 User Name:
u2022 Password:
u2022 Domain key file to: Default drive: \Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2
Click Next.
6] Select the types of objects you want to import in this stage of the importing process. At a later stage, you select the objects themselves.
u2022 Select the option u2018Import universes u2018.
Click Next.
7] Import options for universes and connections dialog box appears.
Select the third option: Import all the universes and connections that the selected Web Intelligence and Desktop Intelligence documents use directly.
8] The Please choose a merge scenario dialog box appears. Select I want to merge the source system to destination system and check the automatically rename top-level folders that match top-level folder on the destination system option.
Click Next.
9] The Incremental Import dialog box appears.
You may need to import some objects more than once from the source repository to the destination repository.
In this situation, you have the following update options:
u2022 Overwrite object contents
You select the types of objects for which the content overwrite applies:
u2022 Documents (including dashboards and analytics)
u2022 Universes
u2022 Connections
When you re-import an object, it will completely overwrite and replace the matching object (and its associated files) that you imported earlier.
u2022 Overwrite object rights
When you re-import an object, its associated security rights will overwrite the rights of the matching object you imported earlier.
If you decided not to import security in the Security Migration Options dialog box, then the Overwrite object rights option is not relevant, and is therefore not available.
If you don't select any overwrite options, the matching object in the destination repository will not change when you try to import it again.
Note: This dialog box appears only if you select update as the import scenario.
Click Next.
10] Select the specific universe
Click Next
11] Information Collection complete dialog box appears.
Click Finish
12] Import Progress dialog box appears.
Click Done
Hope this helps !!
Please revert in case of any queries.
Regards,

Migrated from BT BB - Cancellation of Service/Dire...

I recently migrated from BT BB to O2, and received a letter beforehand from BT Broadband stating that my BT BB service would be cancelled on 03/06/2010.
However, the monthly DD mandate has not been cancelled with my bank, even though the Billing team told me it had been (they confirmed there were no outstanding charges to pay).
Also, if I log onto BT Yahoo Mail, My Account still shows me on the 'Broadband Option 4' product - I was expecting it to have now been downgraded to a PAYG account?
(n.b. I do intend to take out a Premium Mail subscription, to keep my primary/secondary email accounts, once I'm positive the BB account has been fully terminated)
If I cancel the DD myself, am I likely to get caught out if BT incorrectly try to debit me for BB this month? (I was on an old tariff, which was paid monthly and separately to the phone bill)
Any ideas who I should contact, as I've already tried to get assistance from the Billing Team?

Hi ama99,
Sorry you have had trouble with your bills on the old BT Yahoo account. I'll be happy to clear things up here.
Could you send me in an email please to [email protected] with your BT account and telephone number and a link back to this thread.
Cheers
Craig

Creation of domain issues - migration from weblogic 10.3.0 to 10.3.5 versio

Hello,
i would like to kindly ask for a help with following issue:
Basically we are migrating from the 10.3.0 to the 10.3.5 version. We are building the domain using the template in "silent mode". And when i try to create the domain with new weblogic 10.3.5 im getting some errors.
The command to run the creation of the domain is following:
${WL_HOME}/common/bin/config.sh -mode=silent -silent_script=${SILENT_SCRIPT} -log=${WLLOGFILE} >> ${LOGFILE} 2>&1
returnCode=$?
SILENT_SCRIPT contains following commands:
read template from "/local/wg372/BM/appl/config/NEW_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED.jar";
write domain to "/local/wg372/BM/appl/BmDomain";
set OverwriteDomain "true";
close template;
When i setup new env(solaris) with weblogic 10.3.5 im getting following error when the silent_script command (*write domain to "/local/wg372/BM/appl/BmDomain";*) is executed:

I tried to google for this issue, look into the weblogic documentation but with no luck.
So i would like to kindly ask, if anyone of you perhaps could give me a hint/advise with this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
thanks for the reply but im not sure if we are talking about the same thing. What i need is to upgrade the weblogic "DOMAIN" not the weblogic installation itself.
Anyway,
after some googling and testing im again stucked with another issue:
1. First i have created the old doman (10.3.0)
2. Then i have tested the domain with the new weblogic version 10.3.5 - as it should be (and is) compatible within those 2 versions
---> worked fine
3. Then via offline WLST(of weblogic 10.3.5) i have managed to create new template with command writeTemplate(nameOfTemplate.jar)
4. But when i try to create the new domain with the new template via WLST(of weblogic 10.3.5) im again stucked (im able to read the template in wlst but not able to writeDomain ) - error:
wls:/offline> readTemplate('/home/wg372/tmp/new_template.jar')
wls:/offline/BmDomain>writeDomain('/home/wg372/tmp/new_domain')
Error: writeDomain() failed. Do dumpStack() to see details.
wls:/offline/BmDomain>dumpStack()

I tried to have a look around for the "The application location must have write permission." problem but again with no luck.
Furthemore when i try to do the same with old domain template, with old version of WLST (of weblogic 10.3.0), i have no problems with creating of the domain.
Any ideas?
Ill keep you updated :-)
