Replace existing server with new server

Good Day Guys,
Could you please throw some light on the issue below,
Our QAS is down for more than a month and we are having problems with the server on hardware side,so our company has decided to scrap up the old server and bring a new server in its place.
Could you please share your ideas as of how to proceed from having new server.My concerns.
Installing sap and Mssql from scratch naming same as our old server.Here im stuck.......whether to install a new database and do DB refresh from the production database.
Please post me all the activities to considered for a new installation and to have a copy of production installed on it.
thanks in advance,

Hi,
This is how you should proceed.
1. Take a full backup of your production - make sure it is successful.
As you cannot use the sql server detach/attach from production - you will have to do a backup and restore.
2. Uninstall your quality - the uninstall steps are there in the installation guide.
3. Install your QAS using SAPINST as per the homogeneous system copy installation guide. And select the option db using "backup/restore" when SAPINST asks for it.
4. Restore the database using the production backup and logs via the SQL Server Enterprise Manager.
5. You will have to change your schema names by following the sap note 551915 - this is only needed if your SAP system uses the MCOD convention of the form SAP<SID>.
Also, check these SAP Notes 151603, 193816for a SQL Server Copy.
Hope this helps.

Replacing Exchange 2007 with another server with new server name

I am working with a client to move Exchange from the server it is on now to another server. This will be new hardware and new name. The current server Exchange is on will still exist by I want to move Exchange completely off of that server.
Current Network Setup:
Server 1: 1 SBS 2003 server is Domain Controller, Runs AD, DNS, DHCP, File Sharing, SharePoint 2003 and Remote Desktop
Server 2: Server 2008 running Exchange 2007, Backup Domain Controller, File Sharing, SharePoint 2007, Terminal Services.
Current Plan:
Introduce Server 3 to run just Exchange 2007. I would like to completely over a short period of time move exchange from Server 2 to Server 3. I have searched over the internet and found several articles but still have a few questions. There are roughly 75
mailboxes with 50 actual users. Some users are using Outlook 2003 that came with the SBS 2003 and others are using Later versions of office. Server 3 will be a Server 2008 R2 system.
1. What is the best method to perform this transfer. I found article TechNet
Article that explains with 2 remote offices how to do this but not sure if the same will apply.
2. Since I am not immediately decommissioning Server 2 how can I safely remove all the roles and add them to Server 3?
3. For the end user impact. Will the change make Outlook automatically pickup the new server name or will each user need to reconfigure their outlook profiles?
4. I will be moving OWA since there are several Remote and Terminal Service users that use OWA for email. I would like to keep the same certificate and domain name setup if possible.

Hi,
According to your description, I recommend you install another exchange 2007 on server 3, the exchange server role as the same as server 2.
And then, transfer all mailboxes and configurations(OWA,DNS..) from server 2 to server 3.
Finally, decommission the server 2 .
Thanks.

Replace existing footage with new footage, while keeping chapter markers ?

I have prepared my DVD with menus and chapter markers etc ready for burn.
I just noticed that my edit is wrong. Is their a way to replace exiting edit with the new one ? while maintaining chapter markers ?
Thanks in advance.

Replacing content like that almost always results in problems trying to encode/multiplex the project. You need to start a new project and reinsert your chapter marks. Sorry.

Replace existing datasource with new one

Hi
Current report in BW has a character limitation in the commodity code field (presently using the short description, Because of using short description The results in many of the commodity descriptions are getting cut-off from the report. so customer wanted to Display long description. To display the long description, ABAPer had created a new data source (ZMATL_GROUP_TEXT) where it will have long description. So now I should start using the new data source instead of the existing business content data source for 0MATL_GROUP_TEXT) I need to make the corresponding changes on BW side. I Guess this might be simple but I am new to BW can some one help me with the steps.
Thanks
Abhi

Hi Abhi,
If you are updating your master data using direct update then delete the data source assignment to the info-source and assign the new data source. For this you need to replicate the new data source in your BW system before you can actually use it.
If you are using flexible update then you can create a new info-source all together or you can keep the old info-source (by deleting the data source assignment as mentioned in the first step).
For replicating the data source: go to source system (RSA13) -> Select your source system -> double click -> selct the application component from the right hand side -> right click -> replicate data source
Then delete the data source assignment: go to info-source (RSA12) -> select your info-source -> right click -> delete source system assignment
You need to again assign the new data source: RSA12 -> right click -> assign data source
Hope it helps.
Thanks,

How to use webmail address book on Mac Mini Server with Lion Server.

I have a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server installed; the webmail is setup and working but I can not get the address book to work.
I have followed an instruction from this website on how to activate the address book icon in webmail but can not add any addresses. Is there something that needs to be activatied before it will work?

No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.

Mail in Mavericks not replacing existing mail with same name

Mail in Mavericks not replacing existing mail with same name.

I have the same situation as you - sending out pdfs of designed pages and wanting to overwrite them continually. It used to happen on an older version of Mail, then it disappeared and now it's back with the latest version.
It's more than annoying, it's downright driving me nuts. In the last hour I had to quit Mail seven times.
Please send a fix for this Apple.

Setup/synch existing iphone4 with NEW computer

I'm looking for best practice for synching my iphone on a NEW laptop. the old laptop is not operational. I backed up key content such as photo and music files but NOT items used ONLY on the iphone - ibooks, apps, playlists... I thought if I had all my content on my iPhone I could replicate//synch that to any computer but haven't tried it yet on the new one. Occurred to me if I synch i might erase what's already on my iphone.
Have read at least a dozen posts today but most were 2 years old - about ipods or moving new phones- not connecting existing phones with NEW computers with no access to the old one.
I found no good documentation. surely this is a common issue.

Any help here?

G62-234DX Hard drive dead. I replaced hard drive with new Samsung 250 GB. SATA II hard drive and used the recovery Windows 7 Home edition DVD. Error message appeared after windows loads files and starts windows from the recovery DVD. An error dialog box opens after completing and indicates, This computer is not supported by the recovery discs. You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these discs. error: 0100-1425 -3627-3628-3623-3624. Hit OK and system powers down.

Hi:
If you purchased the recovery disks from HP, please see if making and running this first helps.

How to connect message server with application server?

How to connect message server with application server?

Hello Damodar,
The connection is established at the time of installation only !!. At the time of installation you need to specify the Central Instance(message server in most cases unless you have a dedicated message-enque server).

Replaced my hardrive with new one. but when i turn the computer on, the hardrive doesnt show. pls help

Before installing a new drive - it is generally better to install it in a external usb enclosure and connect it to your Macbook so you can format/erase the new drive and make an exact clone of the drive you wish to install, unless you plan on doing a clean install.

Integrate On-Premises Exchange Server With Windows Server Essentials

I have Exchange Server 2013 installed on Win Server 2012 R2 joined to Windows Server Essentials domain. Attempting to integrate the Exchange Server into the Essentials domain from the Essentials Dashboard using the wizard fails with the error, "Cannot
locate an Exchange Server on the network. Make sure that your Exchange Server is setup and that it is connected to the network". I can communicate with the server in multiple ways from the Essentials Server and other computers on the domain. Mail
flow in and out of the Exchange Server works without issue. I can use the various management tools to administer the Exchange Server. The only task I cannot complete is integrating it into the Essentials environment which I need to do to move on
to creating user mailboxes for user accounts setup in AD.
All research to date has come up empty handed.
Help!

Hi RSUL,
Any update?
On current situation, would you please let me confirm something more? It may help me to understand this issue
clearly.
Would you please let me know how join the Windows Server 2012 R2 (which had been installed Exchange Server 2013) to Windows Server Essentials domain? Did use Connector software
(type http://servername/connect)?
On server essentials, please open Dashboard and navigate to DEVICES. Then check the Status of this server which had been installed Exchange Server 2013.
Currently, the Services Integration features, including on-premises Exchange integration, are only supported in a single domain controller environment. Meanwhile, the integration
wizard must be run on a domain controller.
In addition, please refer to the following article and check if can help you.
On
Premises Exchange Integration Windows Server 2012 Essentials
Integrate an On-Premises Exchange Server
with Windows Server Essentials
By the way, please check Event Viewer and some relevant logs if you can find some more clues.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Help Configuring PHP Server with new Flex project.

Hi,
I'm curious if someone can help me with a frustrating problem.
While creating a new flex project, I can't seem to validate the configuration of the php server. I keep getting the message: "Cannot access the web server. The server may not be running, or the web root folder or root URL may be invalid."
I'm running MySQL, PHP and Apache 2.2. These program have worked indepentally without flex, so I know the program isn't with the install of the stack.
For my web root I entered: "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs" the location where I installed Apache
And for root url I'm using "http://localhost"
The other wierd part of this is that even though Flex would not validate this connection, I went ahead and started the project anyway and made a succesful connection to mysql, obviously though when I tried to launch the project it couldn't connect to the server.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated because flex is pretty much useless to me unless I can figure out how to connect with php and mysql.
