Real Application Testing Cross-Platform upgradation

Hi,
We are planning to migrate Production database from Oracle 10.2.0.5 on Windows 64bit platform to Oracle 11.2.0.2 on RHEL 64bit platform.
My doubt is whether we can perform load capture on Oracle 10.2.0.5 Single instance database on Windows 64bit platform and replay it on Oracle 11.2.0.2 RAC database on RHEL 64bit platform.

No Pre-CS4 cross-platform upgrades anymore?

I bought CS3.3 Web Premium for Windows 2 1/2 months ago. Before I purchased I confirmed with Adobe Customer Service that I can exchange it to the Mac version for free.
This week I finally purchased a Mac and called Adobe to get the Mac version, and was told that my only option would be to upgrade to CS4 Mac (for $$$) and that they no longer sell / send out version 3.3.
Can this be for real? I just bought it 2 1/2 months ago and they are no longer honoring their free cross-platform upgrade policy. It's hard to imagine that they don't have 3.3 in stock any more. It's not like I am requesting a CS2 Win to CS2 Mac upgrade. I just spend a lot of money, and now they want me to spend even more money...
Any ideas? Anybody at Adobe reading this?
Greg

Now that makes sense. I'm beginning to thing that the techs and sales people at Adobe don't really know anything. I spoke to three, and none of them even hinted at that possibility.
I also spoke to someone at Apple who said that their software couldn't damage the Mac's hardware, as well. It's hard to believe they'd keep it on the market without warnings, recalls or disclaimers, knowing it could do that much damage.
Sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth about Adobe. Maybe it's time for me to look at other software.
Thanks,

Real Application Testing/Sql Performance Analyzer Docs in 10g....

I believed that both the tools mentioned in the subject are a part of 11g and so are in the 11g docs.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/e12253/toc.htm
But I was just looking at 10g book listing and I saw the same book in 10g documentation as well.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/e12024/toc.htm
Now my best guess is that this is due to the backporting of 11g tools for the previous releases. Means that we can do RAT or use SPA in pre 11g databases as well so this doc book is added. Is it correct or there is some other reason?
Cheers
Aman....

Real Application Testing was introduced as a new feature in Oracle Database 11g. The documentation for Real Application Testing was released in 4 phases.
In the initial phase, the usage of Real Application Testing was documented in the Performance Tuning Guide for release 11.1.
In the second phase, the Real Application Testing User's Guide was released for release 10.2 to document certain backported functionalities. For Database Replay, the capability to capture a database workload was backported. For SQL Performance Analyzer, the capability to capture a SQL workload into a SQL tuning set was backported. These functionalities were backported to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (version 10.2.0.4 or higher) to support customers who want to use Real Application Testing to test database upgrades from a previous version of Oracle Database to Oracle Database 11g.
In the third phase, the Real Application Testing Addendum was released for release 11.1 to document the added functionality to read SQL trace files from Oracle Database 9i to construct a SQL tuning set that can be used as an input source for SQL Performance Analyzer in release 11.1.0.7.
In the final phase, all available documentation for Real Application Testing contained in the above documents were consolidated into the Real Application Testing User's Guide for release 11.1. Going forward, this guide will contain all documentation of Real Application Testing and be updated for each release.

I need a cross-platform upgrade.

How can I get that? Did one of you has been able to get it?
Is it just me of ADOBE customer service is simply uncapable???
My story is a long one! I'll make it short.
I've moved from Windows to Mac.
So I've ordered a CS4 upgrade on your web site on may 26th. When, 3 weeks later, i wanted to activate it, it said my previous windows key was not valid.
I called, mailed, open cases, filled out LOD, sent them, uploaded them, faxed them, called again, again, etc, etc... Problem is the on the website, YOU CAN'T ORDER cross-platform upgrade!!!!! But it is not mentionned anywhere!!
I then tried to get reimbursed and just redo the process over phone. Refund? Did I say refund?? So I called, mailed, open cases, filled out LOD, sent them, uploaded them, faxed them, called again, again, etc, etc... End of July, I was completely resourceless, so I called MasterCard and told them my story. They reimbursed me.
10 days ago I called back by phone to order the cross-platform upgrade since they told me it was the way of doing it. I ordered, and even added on the order a lightroom 2. I paid again on credit card. They asked me again (!) to fill out a new LOD and upload it. I did. Now, 10 days later, today, I called back and guess what? They will escalate my case to upper level!!!!!!! They haven't ship anything yet!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!! Please tell me that someone cares for loyal customer at Adobe!!! I could just pirate the software but I want to pay and use it legally!!!! And this is how I am being served!!!!!
Is it just me or somebody else could help?? By the way, when I called today, the Indian guy hung-up on me!!!! I can't believe this!!!
Who else had the same problem and more important, How did you get your product shipped??
Serge

That's exactly what I did!! I called them, placed my order, paid for it, filled the Letter of Destruction they asked, uploaded it on the open case in the support portal and then, 10 days later, I call back to hear the same story again!
Nothing has been done and they will escalate my case!!!!!! Could you imagine?! I originally started the process of simply buying a product on May 26th and still can't get it!!!!!!!!!!
Again, I'm not surprised if a lot of people other alternatives!!!!! They really are lucky not real good alternatives existed to Photoshop cause I would be gone weeks ago!! The product is good and is the only one, so they know!
Do you have other suggestions?? Phone numbers? What about a VP Customer Service? VP Sales? Someone that is based in USA and cares for customers!!!!!
Thanks for any kind of help!!!

Can you still get a cross platform upgrade for CS3?

I'm a mac user and recently purchased CS3 Design Premium for windows used -- does anyone know you can still get a cross platform upgrade from windows to mac without upgrading to CS4?

I am very, very sorry to read that. My windows pc is just crashed because of a virus my payed anti-virus program could not deal with, and everything have to be cleared totally. (XP pro - browser used at the virus-time = Mozilla. Anti-virus program = The price winning PC-tools)
Have to start all over again from scratch.
Therefore I wanted to change to a new Mac machine for my CS3.
I know I could upgrade to CS4, but do not need the CS4 for the time being, so I have to stay with Windows.
Alle my other programs - Nikon - Topaz - Nik-software - Hemi. - Jason Odell - have been so very helpfull and trusted me and have send me new keys - THANK YOU, you have a lot of problems when this problem happens, so they removed some of the stones, , but not Adobe, they said by telephone (I also tryed a mail, but no answer), that I have to sit at the pc for installing and then try to call them by telephone to get help for autentification, and nobody can promise me it will be the same day.
Last time it took one and a half our to get through by telephone.
I really love your program (CS3 extended) ....... but not this.

How to use "Oracle Real Application Testing"

I am analyzing if/how my employer can make best use of "Oracle Real Application Testing". I therefore read various documentation and articles as well as the relevant sections in the "Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference". However, there is one conceptual question which I could not yet answer from this documentation.
From what I understood there are (at least) two possible approaches to capture and replay SQL workload:
1) Capture the workload into a STS (SQL Tuning Set) using DBMS_SQLTUNE. Replay the workload before/after changes made to the system using DBMS_SQLPA. DBMS_SQLPA can be further used to compare the before/after execution and to generate comparison reports thereof.
2) Capture the workload into OS files (and optionally into a SQL Tuning Set in addition to that) using DBMS_WORKLOAD_CAPTURE. Replay the workload using DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPLAY. DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPLAY can be further used to compare different replay runs and generate reports thereof.
Now my questions are:
{noformat}(i){noformat} Is the overview I sketched above correct or did I misunderstand/miss important points?
(ii) What is the conceptual difference between the two approaches depicted in (1) and (2) above / what is the intended use for each of them?
(iii) What is the difference between the information that DBMS_WORKLOAD_CAPTURE writes in the corresponding OS files and the information that is stored in a STS? From what I understand, both store information related to SQL execution during a certain period, including the impact of each SQL on the entire workload. Are the two just different formats to store the data (within and outside of the database) or is there any different information stored in them?

Here you have books related to that theme:

Real application testing

Hi,
Os:Windows 2003 and Red hat 5 ( two Environments)
Db:Oracle 11.1.6
How to check the Load Balancing in Oracle Real Application Testing.
For Ex:
Lets assume that we have 5 users 10
tranactions/SQl statement executions. How will be the system
perform, if we have 20% increase in the current workload or 10 users 20
transactions...
Currently we are having 2 node oracle 10gR2 cluster on windows 2003.
Regards,
Vinodh.N

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
Can i check the workload gradually(5users and 10 users and so on...) in Real Application Testing in oracle11g or oracle 10.2.0.4. ?
If n't,how can i check the workload in oracle 11g or oracle 10g?
Real Application Testing means only captured workload in production db and replay in test db.Is it correct?

Cross-platform upgrade?

Can I get cross-platform upgrade Adobe creative suite 5 Design Premium (student and teacher edition) from PC to Mac OS 10.10.2?

No, cross-platform swapping is only supported for the latest release CS version which is now CS6.

Cross-platform upgrade question

I'm posting this question here as I have had less than satisfactory results from asking Customer Support about this issue. I know this forum is moderated by some great folks at Adobe and am hoping someone can clear up this question for me.
I currently own CS3 Design Premium for Windows, and need to purchase CS5 for Mac. A search for "Cross platform swap" on Adobe brought me to this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html. However, the instructions there don't match what is offered on the support page. Under Return/Exchange/Refund I have only the following options:
Duplicate Order
Product Didn't perform/ work as expected
Purchased Incorrect upgrade
Purchased Wrong Product/Platform/Language
Shipping Problems
Unable to Download Order
Wrong Product delivered
None of those options is correct as described in the KB article. I decided to chat with Customer Support, and the rep told me that all I had to do is order the upgrade and I could choose which platform to install on first run. Really? The Rep said CS5 included two discs, one for Windows install and one for OS X. He assured me that I would have no problem installing a CS5 upgrade on my Mac, even though I have never installed CS3 on that machine.
I am skeptical about this solution for two reasons: one, Adobe has never offered Win and Mac discs together for CS versions. Two, when I go to pre-order CS5 I need to make a choice between platforms.
Has Adobe changed its method of delivering Creative Suite products? Are both platform discs really included? If not, there are two things that need to be done:
Article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html needs to be corrected. The steps as described cannot be completed.
Customer Support reps need to be notified that they are providing incorrect information regarding cross-platform upgrade procedures.
Finally, I need correct information as to how to go about upgrading my CS3 Windows to CS5 Mac. Do I purchase an upgrade disc and use my CS3 serial number to install? Do I do some sort of return, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance to anyone from Adobe who is willing to take the time to answer my question.

I don't represent Adobe in any capacity other than a mostly satisfied user. Here's what I did on a cross platform (Windows to Mac) exchange--not an upgrade, but my experience may help you.
I, too, found that the directions didn't match the support web site. So I used 'Purchased wrong...' as my subject. I then completely described what I wanted to do in the comments section. I included my current platform version and serial number in the comments. After posting I had a case number to enter onto the Letter of Destruction (LOD) which I then attached to the case. I don't know if a LOD is required in your situation as you will be paying for an upgrade. You should be able to keep both packages active-but customer support will probably know. In my case I had to certify that I had destroyed the original Windows package.
After this was posted to the Adobe Customer Support Portal I then had a case number I could give to the telephone customer support so I called them. While on the line with them they read my case file and informed me my credit card would be charged $5.95 for shipping. Six days later I had the CS4 Design Premium for the Mac. It *should* be just as easy for you.
I must say that I have had to call Adobe Customer Support a handful of times in the last couple of years. In each and every case I received prompt and accurate information that solved my problem or pointed me directly to the solution. I am aware that this is not always the case and wish you good luck.

Real Application Testing , hardware changes.

hi ,
Have always wondered How Real application test would over come one of the cost Common issues in Testing. Here is the scenario .
Lets say , Customer is running oracle 10.2.0.5 on a Server with 16 proc's and 24 cores and 150 GB RAM on his production box ,
Now he wants to test 11.2 on this test box, with lesser hardware specs. say 8 proc's and 12 cores and 60 GB RAM ,
My doubt is , how will the replay process in RAT overcome this change and compare the test with production ???

You must understand that RAT is actually a term. The underlying ways would depend on what you want to test and to what extent? Since you have mentioned a hardware change, the suggested way would be to use DB Replay using which you would capture the workload from the prod box, move it to the test box and replay that workload under the changed hardware. Using DB Replay would allow you to have a delta between the two runs and you can measure the performance gains(or loss) .
Have a read,

How to learn Real Application Testing

How to Learn and Test the Real Application Testing and SQL performance analyzer.
We only have oracle 10g. Does this require 11g.
Can I learn/test on 10g.

Hi,
RAT is the feature of 11g. You can capture the load from 10g though, but for playing it you will need 11g databse.

Are cross-platform upgrades allowed?

I own a copy of Adobe CS3 for Windows. I have recently purchased a Mac, and need to get Adobe Creative Suite (preferably CS6) set up on it. Do I need to buy a completely new version of Creative Suite for the Mac, or can I buy a Mac upgrade version, and then use my serial code from CS3 Windows version to validate the upgrade version on my Mac? If I can do that, is it allowed to also buy an upgrade version of CS6 for Windows, and install that using the same CS3 license key to validate the upgrade version on Windows?

Yes ,it is possible to upgrade from cs3 to cs6 & that also cross platform, yes it should accept the windows previous version serial key , The Enter Serial Number Upgrade dialog box also accepts the Windows serial number{if not then contact Adobe support }.
The best option is to place the order through the adobe sales team

Cross platform upgrade question between Photoshop CS5/CS6 and multiple Windows/Mac computers

Hello,
I'm currently using a Windows laptop and PC running Photoshop CS5 from a Student license I got in college. I am considering moving to an Apple laptop so I was looking at the cross platform update question on the forum that led me here: Order product | Platform, language swap
It's not really clear if I will be eligible for the upgrade, and Adobe support chat sent me to the forum, and that page sends me back to where I started to see if I am eligible. I would prefer to purchase the upgrade outright, rather than pay for the new monthly subscription model.
If I am eligible for a swap/upgrade to Apple CS6, will I still be able to use CS5 on my Windows PC?
Thanks.

I don't have a definitive answer, but I have a feeling that a student teacher version is not eligible for an upgrade discount. You own the CS5 perpetual license, and can install it on two computers at the same time as CS6, CC etc. That will be the case in perpetuity. (not sure why I didn't just type 'forever' back there, or alert the cliche police 'Going forward')
Photoshop CS6 Extended will cost you just shy of US$1600 according to this Amazon page The non extended version does not give you the 3D tools, and Photoshop CC comes as the full extended version as standard. If you got the Photoshop / Lightroom Photography plan at a mere $10 a month, the price of CS6 would keep you subscribed for > three years. Photoshop CC has a lot of wonderful features CS6 does not have, and will never have, and CC will be be constantly updated 'in perpetuity'. ;-) $10 a month! Heck, what's not to like about that?!!!

Cs2 cross platform upgrade

Hi there, I own cs2 and finally bought a mac and would like to upgrade, cross platform. I understand that I cannot upgrade past cs5, which is fine with me. But I can't figure out how to find cs5, help!
Thanks so much,
Beth

CS5 is no longer sold by Adobe. They only sell the current version CS6.
Your remaining option for upgrading is to find a secondhand copy. Just beware of buying secondhand software due to rampant piracy and ubiquitous invalid serial numbers.
