Question on Upgrade Process

I have two GW12 servers, one with the primary domain and po the other has a secondary domain and gwia and dva (Windows 2008R2). Can I have both servers agents down when I upgrade the primary domain/post office to GW2014 and then upgrade the secondary right after that, or does the secondary need to have the agents running while the primary/po gets upgraded. The reason I'm asking is that these are VM's and I wanted to snapshot each server with the agents down and then do the upgrade (that way I would have a good backout incase of any issues). Is this feasible?
Thanks!

The secondary does not have to be up and running. It will need to "talk" to the
primary when it comes back up of course to get the "permission" to upgrade.
Once the two MTAs are conversing and you can see that messages were delivered
between the two, then the secondary should upgrade with no issues.

Upgrade process to SAP Solution Manager 7.1

Hello!
We use SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) and plan to upgrade to the new SAP Solution Manager 7.1.
We currently do not have Java Stack there.
Some questions about Upgrade process
1) Can a direct Upgrade from SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) to SAP Solution Manager 7.1 be realized?
2) Should we first install Java Stack and then proceed with the Upgrade or otherwise?
3) Will Windows 32 Bit and None-Unicode Version of SAP Solution Solution Manager be supported?
It will be great to get some helpful information.
kind regards

Hello!
Trying to answer your question
1) As described in note 1244225, there no restriction to upgrade the Solman EHP1 to solman 7.1. Refer to the section:
In case you do not participate in this current Solution Manager 7.1 beta shipment there are no restrictions for implementing now SP stack 25 and upgrading in the future to an equivilant SP stack of release 7.1."
2) The Solman EHP1 must always be a dual stack system, I am not sure, how you are running the Solman EHP1 without a Java Stack, you should have one.
3) I am not sure if there will be a Solman 7.1 32Bit Non-UNICODE version. But, SAP recommends to run Solution Manager on Unicode (see also customer letter on http://service.sap.com/Unicode). At solman EHP1 there are some issues when running the system as Non_UNICODE, refer note 1383407.
I am not sure if I could clarify all your doubts.
You may check the following URL:

- Solution Manager 7.1
As this is a very new software there is few documents in it, but soon you should see a upgrade guide here.

IDSM-2 upgrade process questions.

Hello,
I started a new job and have been tasked with looking into what we can do with the IDSM-2 module we have in our 6509. The company has not been using the module so it hasn't been updating in a few years. I do not have a current license so I know I cannot install new signature updates, but what I would like to do is upgrade the software to version 7.0(5a)E4. Once I have it upgraded I would like to configure it in our environment and then see about getting a signature license.
I have a few questions regarding the upgrade process, and could use some assistance.
First the IDSM is currently running version 5.1(3)S256.0. From what I have read I don't believe I can go directly to 7.0(5a)E4 so my Planned Upgrade Path is: 5.1(3)S256.0 -> 5.1(8)E3 -> 7.0(5a)E4.
Am I able to upgrade this way or is there another recommended way that I should do this upgrade?
The files I have for this are below, will they be enough or am I missing any?
Do I apply them in the order listed?
Can I apply all of these files from the IDM GUI?
IPS-K9-5.1-8-E3.pkg
IPS-engine-E3-req-5.1-8.pkg <--- Is this included in the above file?
IPS-K9-r-1.1-a-5.1-8-E3.pkg
IPS-K9-7.0-5a-E4.pkg
IPS-K9-r-1.1-a-7.0-5a-E4.pkg
I plan on backing up my configuration first just in case, but should this process have any affect on the configuration?
I also saw that the upgrade will convert the configuration, so should I back it up a second time between the 5.1(8)E3 and 7.0(5a)E4 step?
Will there be any effect on network traffic or downtime during this process?
Is there any thing else I need to be aware of or that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance,
Will

Hi Will. Since you indicated that this sensor has not been in-use, it would be quickest/easiest to simply re-image it directly to the desired version (7.0(5a)E4). Additional benefits of doing this are that the sensor's filesystem will be created clean, OS/binaries cleanly installed, no potential config conversion issues, etc.
Step-by-step instructions for doing this can be found here.
And, the System Recovery Image file you will need ('IPS-IDSM2-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.0-5a-E4.bin.gz') can be downloaded here.
Will there be any effect on network traffic or downtime during this process?
That depends on whether the sensor is configured in Promiscuous Mode or Inline [VLAN Pair] Mode. You can determine this from the Catalyst config. If the sensor is installed in Inline [VLAN Pair] Mode, then certainly the re-image (and even just upgrade) could be traffic-impacting (if there is no alternative/backup path for traffic to take), as in both scenarios, the sensor is rebooted and not available for ~10 minutes (during which time, it would not be forwarding traffic (if it were installed Inline)). Additionally, since re-imaging results in a clean/default config, if the sensor were configured Inline, that portion of the config would have to be re-input post-reimage so that the sensor would know to forward traffic accordingly again. Details about the modes can be found here.

BPC 7.5 upgrade process - Doubts

Hi,
Once we had the confirmation and approval to upgrade the system from SP00 to SP03 (on .NET server components), we noticed that some functional configurations had been made in the meantime. This new scenario where new things had been done from a functional perspective makes me wonder if any of that configuration could be lost while or after upgrading the server component?
Also, after reading Note 1453797 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP03 NW Central Note, section "Before you install" to be more specific it says to uninstall any previous version of the .NET server and client components. Also Scott recommended me that as a best practice. This applies when the upgrade is being done from BPC 7.0 to BPC 7.5 for example or it also applies to my case (uprading BPC 7.5 system from SP00 to SP03)?
Thanks again for your help.
Regards

Hi Ethan,
Thanks for the quick response.
Actually I'm new installing BO BPC and maybe I've not used the correct words to describe that configuration I've detected while trying to install SP03. What I've noticed is that an Initial Application Set has been created. Actually, this is the only thing I have found but I'm not sure if that imply any other configurations either in .NET server or ABAP server that could be lost after upgrading the server component from SP00 to SP03. The same question arises if I decide to uninstall the current installation to perform a fresh one using SP03 directly as its described in note 1453797.
In summary, is there any chance to lost the configuration made on a BPC system (.NET and ABAP servers or client) if any of the above upgrade process is performed?
Hope being clear enough this time thanks so much for your help.
Kind regards

Question re: upgrading to OS 10.6.2 and Time Machine settings

Hello all - and Happy New Year.
A friend of mine who received a Mac Air for Christmas also received an Apple Time Machine to go with it. (I have to say that he is loving the Mac!)
When we (I) tried to install the Time Machine for him we ran into a lot of problems. Specifically, he is the director of a school and is using his Mac on a LAN that is fairly well restricted and "fire-walled" for a variety of security reasons. This made it impossible for me to get the wireless portion of the Time Machine working properly. We finally called the administrator of the LAN and explained the problem. Without getting into details - he was able to configure the Air Port to have access to 4 static IP addresses: 1 for the Time Machine and 3 others that Time Machine can allow other devices to use (specifically, the Mac Air, my friend's iPhone, and a guest).
Now, after hearing about the benefits of upgrading to Snow Leopard, my friend would like to go with the upgrade.
My question is this: Is there a risk that all the hard work that we went through to configure Time Machine will be wiped away? In other words, will the upgrade process save this configuration or will we have to call the LAN administrator once again to set it up?
Any assistance would be welcome.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, I appreciate your assistance.
The OS version that he is using reads 10.5.8. Yes, I agree that it should already have Snow Leopard installed - perhaps he received an upgrade disk as well with the computer. I'll have to check that out.
I apologize, I was using the wrong terminology in my original post. The device is a "Time Capsule" that includes a 1TB hard drive and a Wi-Fi base station. The configuration that we went through for the Wi-Fi is what concerns me. As I mentioned in the question, the configuration that we went through to get it to work properly was time consuming (and a bit confusing). I would not want to go through that again if we were to upgrade my friend's computer to 10.6.2.
If I understand your response correctly the configuration is a software issue and the upgrade should preserve all the settings on the Mac. The settings in the Time Capsule itself should not be affected.
Thanks again for allowing me to work through this. I appreciate it.
Take care,
Mike

Upgrade Process from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012

Hi All,
I have gone thru multiple threads and would like to understand some steps in detail for me to upgrade SQL 2005 to SQL 2012.
Below is my understanding and questions around it, I would be setting up a new environment with OS 2007/2008 with SQL 2012:
Environment Readiness - Ensure new environment is ready with Win 2007/2008 with SQL 2012 Server
Run Upgrade Advisor on the new environment and point to SQL 2005 instance
Find the breaking/discontinued changes to be done before or After Upgrade
<Question>: Over here I would like to know what should be our approach to make the required changes
<Question>: Obviously I should not be making changes directly on the Production SQL 2005 server, then in that case should I take a backup/restore on the new SQL Server 2012 and then make the required changes to the database objects
like (Table schema(changing column names/datatypes etc.), Stored Procedure, Functions & Views)
<Question>: When I do a backup/restore I would also get the data along with it, so is this a recommended approach or should we only run/use the table schema creation scripts, fix the issues identified by UA and then do an Table to Table import,
any thoughts on this ?
<Question>: If I have to do a table to table Import then I should ensure there's a downtime during the Import or would I have any other better approach
So, basically my questions are around the approach of fixing the issues identified by UA and moving the database to SQL Server 2012 environment, I have around 300 databased to me upgraded.
Please do let me know what should be a good/proven approach ? Pl. do let me know if you would need any more details from me.
---Umesh

Thanks all for the replies.
I am trying summarize what I have understood here:
Document SQL Server 2005 environment details, Is there any tool which could give us all relevant details
I would take the backup from the SQL Server 2005 Production environment and then restore the same in a test environment which again has SQL Server 2005 and Run Upgrade Advisor on that
Probbaly run SQL Profiler as well to find out the deprecated changes to be done
I should fix all the breaking, discontinued changes on the Test system identified by UA
I should fix all the deprecated changes on the Test system identified by SQL Profiler
Steps 3 & 4 should give me the changed scripts for all database objects (i.e. Table Schema, Stored Procedures, Functions & Views)
<Question> Perform test, I understand this acitivity test can be captured by having SQL profiler running in the background on the SQL Server 2005 production environment where we can identify some days in a week or a month where maximum activity is
expected to ensure we cover most the scenarios, let me know is this approach looks fine or is there a better approach
Now, with regards to acutal upgrade I need to identify a time window where in less activity is done during which I could have a downtime for the actual SQL Server 2005 production environment
Post downtine, I should do a BackUp for all databases from SQL Server 2005 production environment
Test on environment readiness of SQL Server 2012 can be compared against the documentation done as part of the first Step
<Question> Ideally I should a restore first in the new environment which has SQL Server 2012
<Question> Then run the Scripted changes where we fixed all the breaking, discontinued & deprecated changes
<Question> Does above sequence of Step 9 & 10 make sense or is there a better approach of doing it
<Question> Post Upgrade and running of changed scripts, I should run the Upgrade Advisor again and see if everything looks fine
<Question> Perform test again which we ran on SQL Server 2005 Test environment
<Question> These steps should complete the Upgrade process.
Please do let me know if the above sequence look ok to all of you and does it really work in a practical scenario, do let me know your feedback or any change in sequence/process or any other tools that can be used here.
Thanks Again ...

Questions about upgrading from Exchange 2010 RTM to Exchange 2010 Service Pack 3

I am preparing to perform an maintenance upgrade on our current Exchange 2010 Server, to Service Pack 3 (and any post-SP3 roll ups), but I have a couple questions about the process.
Current Exchange Server details:
Exchange 2010 Standard
Version: 14.0 (Build 639.21) - from Exchange Management Console
Version: 14.0.702.4000 - from Outook client
Active Directory forest and domain levels: Windows 2008 R2 native
The questions I have are:
1. Can I assume that because it's version 10.0.702.4000 I am on Exchange Server 2010 RTM Update Rollup 4?
2. Can Exchange 2010 Standard RTM be patched directly to Service Pack 3, or would I need to perform incremental patches (i.e. SP1, SP2, etc.) before going to SP3?
3. Do I need to manually perform the AD domain schema prep before applying Service Pack 3, or will the Service Pack 3 update process automatically handle the modifications of the AD schema?

Hi,
Here are my answers you can refer to:
1. Firstly, I’d like to explain , we can use connection status to check our Exchange server version from Outlook client:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/determine-the-version-of-microsoft-exchange-server-my-account-connects-to-HA010117038.aspx
And I check my version from both EMC and Outlook client. It’s same.
2. We can directly update RTM version to SP3 , and the update will take an additional 30 minutes or longer per database.
3. Since Exchange 2010 SP3 makes updates to the Active Directory schema, we need prepare AD domain schema. However, it will automatically prepare AD and the domain when you install the update.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj965774(v=exchg.141).aspx
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

Greetings,
I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
Thank you,
Tim

Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
no need.

CF 9 Upgrade process Ran All Scheduled Tasks

I just completed the upgrade process from CF8 Enterprise to CF9 Enterprise on our test system, Windows 2003 R2P2 using IIS6 and SQL Server 2000. I have no schedule tasks with an active schedule, but the upgrade process ran all of the tasks. Running all of the scheduled tasks created 200+ e-mails.
Any ideas on what happened? I ran the coldfusion_9_wwe_win.exe and installed the CF9 ODBC and CF9 SOIR services.
If this happened on my TEST system (with no actively scheduled tasks) what's going to happen when I upgrade my production system?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Libby

I can't answer your specific question (*), but I would seriously reconsider your approach of UPGRADING a CF server. Set up CF9 in parallel, and migrate the application/website across to it.
If you do an inline upgrade and it fails: you've got nothing to fall back on. If you to a "cross-grade", your working CF8 instance is still there as a fail-over, if anything goes wrong with the CF9 install.

Is "Geography Name Referencing Program" part of upgrade process?

Hi all,
We have been upgraded to R12.1.3 and currently into first iteration.
When querying the old transaction from Transaction workbench window we get, ""The system cannot determine geographical information for this location and cannot derive a tax jurisdiction. Please contact your system Adminstrator" error.
I have run the "Geography Name Referencing Program" after getting this error. and that error got resolved.
Kindly Advice, "Geography Name Referencing Program", is it a part of upgrade process or we have to manually run the program.
Thanks,
AtulR

I have seen the same document and ran the Geographu run referencing program. But my question here is, should we run this program immediately before releasing to Application team which is going to work on Applications
Have you reviewed the post concurrent programs which are kicked off as part of the upgrade process to verify if the concurrent program was completed successfully or not? The program will be submitted by the upgrade process (as mentioned in the doc that you have already reviewed) and if that's the case the point here is to verify if it completed successfully or not.
If the program ran successfully and you still hit the same issue then please review the docs in my previous reply. If the docs don't help then please log a SR.
If the program failed to run then you will need to run it manually.
If the program was never run by the upgrade then run it manually.
Thanks,
Hussein

Several Questions about upgrading APEX

Hello,
I a several questions about upgrading APEX.
I want to upgrade my APEX 2.0 to 2.2 and hopefully in a few month to 3.0.
Is there a How To about upgrading APEX?
What would happen to my applications?
Would there be any problems about the applications when the APEX version is upgraded to another version?
Thank you,
Tim

Tim,
Yes there is (detailed) upgrade documentation provided with the upgrade itself, which you should definitely look through. The 2.2 and 2.2.1 releases are currently available here -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
You applications will be 'upgraded' as part of the upgrade process (i.e. they will continue to work with the new software once the upgrade is complete).

Question regarding upgrading from LR3 to LR4

I currently have Lightroom 3 installed on my PC and want to upgrade to Lightroom 4.
I have not had Lightroom 3 all that long and not too many files are there. I have two questions:
1. Is it better to uninstall Lightroom 3 and then install a fresh copy of Lightroom 4 or could I just upgrade the current Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 4.
I know I have heard in the past is is usually better to to a fresh install. As I have only had Lightoom 3 for a few months and few files I wondered if
this was the way to go or would an upgrade be ok.
2. I actually have the full version of Lightroom 4 (as opposed to an upgrade edition). Luckily for me, my father-in-law purchased it but turned out it was
not what he wanted so he gave it to me. Can I use this full version to upgrade (if that is the solution to my first question)? I know I can use it to do a fresh install.
Also, if you can recommend any links to directions or video tutorials on migrating from LR3 to LR4 that would be great as I am very new to Lightroom.
Thanks for the advice.

Yes, it is very easy, as your existing LR3 installation will not interfere with the new LR4 installation.
Just download LR4.3 from Adobe.
Then start it, and go for File-Open catalog, and point to your exsiting LR3-catalog. The program will tell you that it needs to upgrade the catalog, which you confirm. This will create a new version-LR4 of your latest LR3-catalog.
You might not like the name automatically chosen by this upgrade process, so close LR4 and use Windows Explorer to rename it into something meaningful like "LR4 Master Catalaog" or some such. Then double-click on it and work from there.
Your previous images will show an exlamation mark in develop module for LR3's old process version 2010. Do not do anything on a batch basis for it, as this is not needed.
Only for images, for which you do not like your previous LR3-develop results so much, click on the exclamation mark and upgrade it to LR4's process version 2012, and manually tweak from there.

After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process.

After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process but cannot remember.
Tried to run firefox.exe -P but receive error message:
XML Parsing error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/profileSelection.xul
Line number 18, Column 1:
<dialog
^
Running on Windows XP SP3. No problem whatsoever before upgrading to 27. Sending this from Chrome as I cannot open Firefox at all.

Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
Thank you very much again.
Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.
