Recommendations for upgrade & migration path/documentation

I have a client running portal 3.0.9.8.0 and Forms/Reports 6i on Windows 2000. The repository database is running on some flavor of HP unix, HPUX I believe.
They want to upgrade portal and reports to the latest, but not forms (apparently there is some functionality that they use that is no longer present in the more recent version). They also want to move the portal and reports to a second unix box...
and they only want ot give me one day of downtime to accomplish this (Sunday of course).
Would it be better to migrate the midtier ot unix and then upgrade, or upgrade and then migrate to unix? I'm thinking probably the latter since getting the older installation media for HPUX might be a challenge...
Also, can I just move the .rdf files and recompile on the HP machine, or is there something more that needs to be done there? Not finding a lot of documentation on migrating reports... mostly just seeing forms.
Can anyone point me to some good documentation?
TIA

GPS is actually easy and quick for the most part - typically an event easily assigns to a single location so you open the info pane for the event and assign the GPS to the whole event at once
In other instances when you are moving you still can assign a location to the first photo in a location, copy the photo (edit menu ==> copy or Command-C) and select the remaining photos at that location and paste the location (edit menu ==> paste location)
Of course I got a GPS camera which is even better - and reason to get a new camera
The places display is fun - especially on the iPad - and the maps for books are great for vacations

Recommendations for upgrading to snow leopard

Any recommendations/suggestions prior to upgrading from tiger to snow leopard?

As Allan already said, you should have a complete backup - whenever doing a major upgrade, it is recommended that you make sure you have your contents backed up. In case of failure (doesn't necessarily happen, but could.....), at least you haven't lost all your stuff.
So, either get an external hard drive and create a bootable clone (that means you use SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner to copy all the info to the external and it will be bootable so you can boot from that external in case of a major hiccup with your internal drive) or, at the very least, get a smaller drive and copy (simply drag and drop) your own files over.
Run verify disk BEFORE install: Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility; highlight your drive and click on verify disk.
Repair Permissions: do AFTER upgrade: same path; this time click on Repair Permissions.

Recommendation for upgrading to R2

Trying to map out a plan for upgrading Service Manager 2012 SP1 RU2 to R2. All clients, whether installed locally on the workstation or via Citrix use the SP1 console. I believe all the clients are RTM SP1 so no rollups installed.
Servers are SP1 RU2 installed. We only have 4 servers. The Orchestrator which has already been upgraded to R2 because we don't use it now. The Data Warehouse, the Service Manager server itself and a self service portal on SharePoint.
Trying to figure out whether to upgrade the clients for and then servers or servers first and then circle back and upgrade clients. I tested the SP1 console again an R2 test sever and it seems to work just fine as does an R2 console against a Prod SP1 server.
Really confusing.
MS can't expect you to upgrade all your clients at once so there has to be compatibility between the product versions. Any suggestions on how to approach it?

Need Oracle 12c whitepaper recommendation for upgrade assessment

Hi: Good morning!
This is not an urgent request, but appreciate your recommendation! I need documents about Oracle 12c (our os is IBM AIX power system, 6.1, 64 bit), because we are planning upgrade current oracle database 11.2.0.4 to 12c, we need a thorough assessment to 12c since 12c introduced many innovative, new features, major component changes, as well as impact to java application. The document I have so far is-
1. database upgrade guide
http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/UPGRD/preup.htm#UPGRD002
2. Deprecated API (oracle database JDBC Java API Reference)
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/JAJDB/deprecated-list.html
3. Tom Kytes Top 12 new features for Oracle 12c (from web).
There are many things to look for. I want to know the major things I should focus in new features & impact to java application.
what document can provide me the info!
thank you very much in advance!

Hi all:
Can anyone gives me advice after upgrade from 11.2.0.4 database to 12c database, which 'core-DB new features' impact to Java application more, and that we should focus on assessment?
There are too many new & innovative features introduced in 12c. Should I convert our single instance database (on non-cluster server) to 'CDB/PDB' during upgrade? Is it a 'Must-to-do' or not? We have a physical standby DB, how to do with the standby?
Oracle Documents I reviewed are: 'Oracle 12c database document', 'Oracle 12c Java Developer's Guide'. I recommend this to our developers based on 'Oracle 12c Java Developer's Guide':
Oracle JVM ( JDK6, JDK7 support in 12)
[note:need to check jvm components for application: library manager, compiler, interpreter, class loader, server-side JDBC internal driver, server-side SQLJ, translator, system classes; Java stored procedure, SQLJ, JDBC, etc]
2. Oracle Memory Space management      (         garbage collection)
3. Multithreading
4. Footprinting
5. Dynamic class loading
6. JNDI class support
7. Auditing for Java ( alert/execute/audit/grant is enabled in auditing)
8. Support for logging
9. Support for customizing default java.security resource
10. Improved for debugging
However, I may lost myself in core-DB new features for:
1. advanced analytics features
2. OLAP features
3. Partitioning enhance
4. Performance for zero effort
5. Compression and Archiving features (depends on application tables design)
6. Database Overall
   - Integrate With Operating System Processor Groups
   - Oracle Data Pump Support
   - Multitenant Architecture (Not sure)
   - PDBs Backup and Recovery (Not sure)
   - PDBs Point-in-Time Recovery (Not sure)
   - PDBs Resource Plans (Not sure)
   - Utilities
7. High Availability
   - Application Continuity
   - Transaction Guard
   - Logical Replication
   - Global Data Services
   - Online Operations
   - Oracle Data Guard Enhancements (Depends on our standby design)
8. Manageability
   - PGA Size Limit
   - Resource Manager Runaway Query Management
   - Spot ADDM
9. General
   - DBMS_QOPATCH
10. Performance
11. Security enhance
12. Improve Security Manageability, Administration and Integration
    - Database vault
Is my above suggestion (text in red-color) correct?
Thank you very much!

Recommendations for upgrade of iBook G4

Dear Fellow Mac Users,
I have an old mac that works pretty well but I am thinking of upgrading some of the hardware to keep up with the new software upgrades from mac. Here are the specs:
Model: iBook G4
OS: Mac OS X Ver. 10.4.11
Processor: 1.2 Ghz PowerPC G4
Memory: 256 MB Built-in
I am looking forward for your generous expert advice to also upgrade my mac user experience.
Thanks!

I also have an iBook G4, running OS 10.4.11, with 800 MHz PowerPC G4 processor, and the original 256MB DDR SDRAM memory. I've already upgraded the operating system once, and I'm wondering if it's really worth my while to upgrade (fill empty memory slot w/640MB max. vs. 1.25 GB per recommendations in this post??) hardware and software again. Can I? Should I? Or, am I better off going to a new computer at this point? I'm curious to the opinions of similar users trying to stretch the use of their computer. I've had this one 5 years, and enjoyed the small sized laptop immensely. But, I am getting frustrated with the slowness of it all. The hard drive had reached maximum capacity, so I moved photos and music to an external hard drive. But I don't think it helped with anything speed-wise, even securely emptying trash. Any other suggestions? I'm also having frequent trouble with Safari locking up and watching video in Safari - runs really slow. Thanks in advance for sharing your input!
Your machine apparently comes with 128 MB permanently soldered onto the main board. The standard configuration was apparently a 128 MB module pre-installed for 256 MB total. Apple officially declared that it would max out at 640 MB, although unofficially it can handle a 1 GB module for a total of 1152 MB (1-1/8 GB).
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/stats/ibookg4_80012.html
The following upgrade should work. I personally have one of these for my iBook G4 1.42:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145068
Your machine won't load Leopard without some sort of third-party hack. The retail copy of Leopard would just refuse to upgrade on your machine. It requires that the machine be at least a G4 running at 867 MHz.
Running any kind of high-def video is a no go. Even with my iBook G4 1.42 maxed with memory, it massively drops frames with high-def video. It noticeably slows down when running several embedded web page Java or Flash apps. The PowerPC G4 processor was dated a long, long time ago. The switch to dual-core Intel processors was the best thing Apple did for the usability of their portable computing, since it was clear that IBM was never going to be able to produce a G5 processor suitable for portable computing. I mean - the initial Power Mac G5 desktops ran so hot and used so much power that they had to be liquid cooled.
I wouldn't say that you need to get rid of it, but if you can afford it, maybe a new or even used MacBook would make many of those performance problems go away. The new white MacBook is a killer deal at $999, and it would be cheap and easy to upgrade the hard drive.

Performance Recommendations for Upgrade from 2009 MBP

i am looking to upgrade from a 13" 2009 MBP which I am using to run Parallels 7 (among other things) and which i have not been happy with performance-wise. I went ahead and put a full 8 GB of RAM in it and still too many hangs and delays. I am however pretty happy with my old Mac Pro.
Can anyone help me with recommendations on buying a new laptop? I mean, I don't really see myself running computationally intensive operations and this thing is pretty much a drag.
Also, battery life is 3 hours with it just sitting there with no apps running which means when i use it I am under 2 hours and that just seems inexusable to me.
TIA

When the time is right, buy the most powerful hardware you can afford and good case like a MacTruck.
Take good care of your hardware because you need to make it last 5-7 years or even more.

Recommendations for upgrading from Tiger

I have Tiger 10.4.11
Model Name: iMac
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
I have an unopened version 10.5 Leopard. Should I start by installing that, then the upgrade of Snow Leopard? Or should I buy the $169 upgrade of Snow Leopard & star there? Any input would be appreciated! Thank you!

If you have Leo then start by installing it using Archive and Install option:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
After you have a successful Leo system running you will need to purchase Snow Leopard ($29.00) which can be used to upgrade the Leo system.
Also do this:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions on your current system.
2. Make and test a bootable clone of your existing system before doing any upgrades.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup drive.
Source means the startup drive.

Migration Path for Organizer?

Out of curiousity, what are the "natural" migration paths from Organizer? Do any software "read" the Organizer DB and convert to their own format (ACDSee? Lightroom?)?
I'm not planning to move off Photoshop Elements any time soon, but Organizer doesn't appear to get a lot of attention from Adobe and lots of us like to have a Plan B.
I'm not too concerned about Slide Shows (I like JAlbum) or the "map" feature (other free or cheap applications do map tagging in an easier and more standard way). I'm mostly concerned about tags, notes and collections.
I know you can force Organizer to write the tags out to the fiel in a standard way (IPTC categories I think) and comments and dates are written to the EXIF header. But that's "Plan C" ;-}

Before jumping into the migration/conversion process, I would like to get an excellent understanding of the problems and limitations of the conversion process. Is there a book or document that provides an extensive description of the conversion process and identifies comprehensively and fairly the problems and limitations of such a conversion?
Also, in order to learn to use efficiently Lightroom: is there one or two books that you would recommend me more than others?
Finally I have also a probably simple question: I am not motivated at all to use RAW because of the huge amount of Disk Space required for 30'000-50'000 RAW Photos (andbecause of the time and Disk space required for Backups of such large amounts of Photos). Will I be able to use all (or most?) nice features of Lightroom, even if I continue to use jpeg File formats?
There is no book that covers conversion from PSE to Lightroom.
In general, the conversion from PSE to Lightroom does most of what you would want it to do, so I wouldn't fear the process. The conversion from PSE to Lightroom is not perfect; for one thing, version sets are lost, as there is no concept of version sets in Lightroom. Stacks are maintained upon conversion. Tag hierarchies don't show up in LR exactly as they were in PSE; but its relatively easy to recreate your hierarchies in Lightroom.
I recommend Martin Evening's book, The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers. I have become quite dis-illusioned with Scott Kelby's books for a number of reasons, so I dis-recommend them.
Your disk space problems exist whether or not your photos are in Lightroom or PSE or neither or both. Lightroom doesn't make this worse or better. Getting more disk space makes this better. Lightroom is an excellent program for RAW photos; it is just as excellent for .jpg photos. What you lose in photo quality is not because of Lightroom's ability to handle .jpg photos; you lose in photo quality because your originals are .jpg and what ANY program can do with these is less than what ANY program can do with RAW photos.
And by the way, I find myself frightened by the thought that someone has 30000 to 50000 photos and doesn't do backups because of disk space problems. This is a recipe for having zero photos some day when your hard drive crashes. If you can't make backups because of disk space issues, I would strongly recommend that you remedy this by getting another hard disk before you address any conversion to Lightroom issues. Spend that money on a disk drive rather than on Lightroom

When i see the log it says "There are no conversions to run for upgrade path PF89 (18028,10003)". Please let me know why it didnt do any conversion. Am i missing something?

yes, that app engine didnt inserted any rows. So now when i tried to drill down i found that there was no data in the "new demo" database on table UPG_DATACONV. That is the reason for all this.
When i applied required for upgrade patch in demo it said couple of patch already exists so those update i skipped. Now when i check upd877654 has a step which imports the data in this table. my change assistant told that the update is already available in my demo so i skipped. Now i am not sure what to do.
I tried reimporting the data and running the analyzer again. But worried that there can be any issues due to this.

Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
Thanks...

Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

HT201210 My Ipod-touch was ios5 when I bought. You recommend to upgrade ios6, because set-up icon always shows me "+". For that on facebook I can't see wall photos. So I want my ipod touch to be back as initial version ios5. How can I do? please tell me.

Unfortunately, I don't think it solved the problem. I believed the new iPod thing solved the weird behavior problem, but after that the button stopped working.
Do you know how to contact Genius? Because I don't think I can find a store in my area, when I tried to.

Suggested migration path for 10G rel 1 (90400) installation to 10.1.2.0.2?

We are a heavy forms/reports shop. We have just gotten done installing 10G Rel 1 (9.0.4.0.0), and now that the latest version of the App Server has been released, I'm wondering what the suggested Migration Path should be? And whether there are any "must have" features that will make an appreciable difference in forms/reports. Or, should we just install the latest patchset for our 904 installation and be done with it?
Thanks in advance.
Phil McDermott

Hmm... well, I'm going to be testing the forms/reports features of 10.1.2.0.2 just as soon as I get time, but what I'm hoping for most is that forms will work with SSO through the webcache. There is a bug in 9.0.4 that I'm aware of where SSO fails while working through the webcache. Oracle said they were working on the issue...
...anyone here know if Oracle fixed that bug? It may be a while before I'll have the time to play with 10.1.2.0.2.

Thanks Mende1; I know that PPC apps won't function on Intel machines but I can migrate the Universal apps, right? There is such a large gap between Tiger and Mountain Lion - can I still migrate files directly from one to the other taking the Universal apps as well? Sorry, I'm not very computer savvy!
