Replace Publisher with minimal impact

Hi all,
I have an existing cluster of 2 CUCM server running 6.1(2). They are using MCS-7825-H3.
I will be adding a new MCS-7835 server which I intend to make this the Publisher instead due to its better performance and power redundancy.
Was wondering if its possible to replace the existing Pub with the new MCS-7835 server. The "downgraded" Pub will serve as a Subscriber node instead.
Thank you.

yes it is possible, just make sure to make a backup up current PUB and restore on new HW, the old PUB will require a reinstall in order to work as a SUB.
just make sure to ask for a license rehost before this to have it before the actual process takes place

Migrating SQL Server Published databases with minimal downtime

All,
I have a requirement in which databases in Server A has to be mirated to Server B. Server A has two databases in Merge replication and one with Transactional replication. Server A act as the distributor itself.
My question is how can I migrate all these production databases which are also publishers to new sever B with minimal downtime, and with out breaking replication.
I read that if the Server B is renamed as Server A then replication will continue with out any errors.Please suggest how to migrate the publisher to Server B with minimal downtime.
Also I would like to know if the replication is Server A->Server C->Server D, then if I can migrate Server A to Server B with out dropping replication, will it affect the replication setup from Server C to Server D. Does it cause any replication errors.
Thanks in advance!

Just to throw some thoughts out there.
It sounds like the "blocker" in the overall migration strategy is the Distribution database and the fact that it is local to a Publisher.
Once you have migrated the Distributor, the remainder of the problem
is more straightforward, using solutions such as Database Mirroring to failover to a new server with minimal downtime for example.
If I were performing this migration project, I would agree with the business that there was to be a
short replication service interruption whilst we migrated to a new Distribution database/server. I would also apply Hillary's recommendation to use the opportunity to split-out the Distribution database to a dedicated server.
Using this approach, you could build and configure the new Distribution database before the migration "cut over" phase. The cut-over would require that you Drop the replication topology and re-create it, using the new Distributor DB/Server. You can script
ALL the steps required for this ahead of time, resulting in the actual cut-over to the new Distributor being completed in a couple of minutes max (the database involved are already in Synch).
Once done, you can proceed ahead with the remainder of the migration.
Overall this is not a trivial project you have on your hands and in my opinion you absolutely must perform the process in a test environment before attempting to do so in Production.
Good luck.

Replace Null With 0 in Pivot Table in a BI Publisher Report (Not OBIEE Answ

I have a problem with nulls in a pivot table. I got a measure column in my BI Answers analysis and I made a report with a model based in this analysis. When I add a pivot table to my report the 0 measures don't display.
In first place I found that there's a bug (13054445). I download and ran the patch, then I tried editing data format in my analysis column and in BI Answers and this worked. The 0 displays correctly, but in the report it's still not displaying.
I tried editing the formula in the analysis with:
IFNULL(column,0)
CASE WHEN column IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE column END
CASE WHEN column IS NOT NULL THEN column ELSE 0 END
IFNULL(cast("column"as varchar (10)), '0')
And nothing works
When I tried this: CASE WHEN column IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 656565656 END
in the report the 6565656565 display correctly but the 0 still doesn't display.
Does anybody know if that is a bug? Or does another option exist that can I try?

Hi,
Following on with this post, I followed the document posted and the formula worked fine. I was able to replace nulls with strikethrough in a pivot table. Since combining the report into a compound layout, the strikethrough has reverted back to nulls. Even when just viewing the pivot table, the same applies.
I have double checked the column properties and the condition(is null) and formatting(strikethrough) still exists but does not take effect in the pivot table.
I hav also checked that no data exists in the fact table under the null categories and they are true.
Can anyone help with this problem, I have also removed the condition and re-applied but still face the same problem.
Thanks

Question about minimizing. why ddid apple remove minimizing and replace it with NOTHING?

on tiger, i could double click in the "gray bar" on top of every window in order to minimize it. this was a very good idea, since the buttons to minimize, close or maximize are very small and i also tend to activate my upper left hot corner when moving my cursor to the buttons....
i think it's good to always change stuff. but if apple removes a function to replace it with nothing at all, i just don't get the point of removing it, since it was a good idea. i know: less is more! but i don't think it's meant this way

They didn't remove it. You just don't know where to turn it on. The "gray bar" is called the title bar.

Replacement order with vendor

Hi experts
I have a question on if SAP supports an replacement order with vendor.
The scenario is the client could do a return PO with their vendor and then create another replacement order just to exchange the physical goods, there is no cost incurred for the replacement.
The thing is if we handle such scenario with one return PO + new PO, there would definitely by financial impact as in invoice creation, LIV, etc.
Therefore, would like to see if there is any SAP best practice / standard functions that we can make use of.
Thanks and BR
Dom

hi,
Could anyone please tell me why PO with vendor unknown is needed ?
> Its mostly required when you wanna raise the procurement in any urgency or if the person entering the PO donot have a right to directly send the PO to the vendor or in case the vendor is required to be decided when the PO is being made...
And what is the difference between PR and PO with vendor unknown ( If vendor is unknown , to whom should we send the PO then ) ?
> When you save such PO, it is indirectly saved as PR only(internally), so there is no such difference physically....It not send to any of the vendor untill the PO is entered with the required vendor and send and saved as PO...
What is the process cycle if we use a PO with vendor unknown . I know the process cycle with Vendor known .
When you make such PO the system will ask you while saving with the tab " Save as PR" or PO with no vendor defined.....you need to click on it and save the PO as PR...

Replace Publisher and subscriber!!

One of our customer have TWO MCS7825 CCM 4.13.
They want to replace both server with better hardware and bigger harddrive.
Any documentation I can read???
Here is my thought, presintall at offline network, with same name, ip address, etc:
1. Install CCM4.13 in new server which is publisher.
2. Install CCM4.13 in second new server which is subscriber.
3. Test the new cluster to make sure to have good data replications, for instance, add one IP Phone to test.
4. Delete the IP Phone.
5. Use BARS to backup existing CCM cluster.
6. Use the same verison BARS at new Cluster and then restore it.
7. Shut down the old existing CCM cluster.
8. Power on the new CCM cluster.
Thanks
Ken

Do you have any SRs on the old server ?
I would do this.
1. Install CM 4.13 on the new server (publisher) with same name, ip as old publisher. This should be on an isolated network. Dont apply any SRs yet.
2. Install subscriber to the same version (same name, ip etc as old subscriber). Put this also in the isolated network. Make sure replication is good. Test with an ip phone.
3. Now if you did have SRs (4.1.3SR3a) in old server, then apply SR on the new publisher and new subscriber.
4. Use BARS to backup existing publisher
5. Use same version bars to restore the database on the newly installed publisher.
6. Replication should get all the database info in publisher to the subscriber if you tested replication good in step 2.
7. Shutdown existing cluster
8. Move new servers to the production network.

Replacing BC with SAP XI-URGENT

Hi Experts ,
I have a query related to a case in which we want to replace SAP BC with SAPXI.
The client is going for an upgradation from SAP R/3 4.6 c to ECC 6.0 and they have architecture like 4.6c--- BC-SAP Adapter--- Customized Adapters(Third party).
The customized adapters make synchronous RFC calls to 4.6 c through SAP Adapter and BC.
Basically MQ series flow is there between customized adapter and SAP ADAPTER which further updates R/3 through BC.
Now they want to upgrade from 4.6c to ecc 6.0 and replace BC with SAP XI without making any changes to SAP Adapter and customized adapters
Now my questions are :-
1) If i replace BC with SAP XI will there be any development changes required or it will be only configuration changes that can be done by BASIS?
2)Is it possible that Third Party continues to make RFC calls to XI and XI make RFC calls to R/3.
3) In XI we will be configuring JMS adapter for MQ series or MQ series adapter.
4) What difficulties can be faced during replacement of BC with SAP XI ? What can be the impact of replacement?
I would appreciate an early response as this is very urgent.
Regards
Saras Jain

Only some parts of the SAP BC can be migrated to SAP XI like xslt mappings

> 2)Is it possible that Third Party continues to make

yes, 3rd party can make calls to XI and XI will make RFC calls to R/3 calls using the RFC adapter in XI.
> 3) In XI we will be configuring JMS adapter for MQ

you will have to configure the JMS adapter in XI.

Replacing hubs with switches help needed

I'm new at this so bear with me.
I have two LANs, 10.0.0.x and 10.1.0.x, connected via firewall/router with 10.0.0.245 and 10.1.0.5 address. Clients and servers are connected to hubs on both networks. I want to replace the hubs with 2960TT switches already purchased but not configured.
The 10.1.0.x Windows clients have a default gateway of 10.1.0.5 which is the firewall routing to the 10.0.0.x network which then has a default gateway of 10.0.0.253 to Internet.
I suppose I would like to get rid of the firewall but must I replace it with another routing device or can the switches themselves be configured to allow these two networks to co-exist? I need the 10.1.0.x clients to see the 10.0.0.x network and resources but not vice-versa.
I need help configuring the switches. Thanks!

You could likely use your new switches as "drop in" replacements for your hubs with minimal or possibly even no configuration. However, to maintain distinct subnets, you're going to continue to need some type of L3 device, such as your existing firewall/router.
One issue you might have with your existing firewall/router is it might be performance challenged for traffic moving traffic between your two subnets. (Likely your Internet side is limited by your Internet bandwidth.) If there is a performance issue between your subnets, you might look at obtaining a faster L3 device to either replace your existing firewall/router or in addition to it. (The "in addition to" L3 device, could be an "inexpensive" L3 switch, perhaps the 3560-8PC, to handle LAN traffic, while your existing firewall/router continues to handle Internet traffic. Optimal physical configuration of something like the 3560-8PC with your new switches might be linking your two new switches on a VLAN trunk gig port and one switch to the 3560-8PC also on a VLAN trunk gig port. The existing firewall/router might then connect to the 3560-8PC on one of its 100 Mbps ports.)

Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10?

Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10? We have a remote desktop farm setup with 2012 R2 servers and we are publishing some web links that only work with IE10. As a result, we need to
downgrade the remote desktop servers to IE10. I have a feeling that this isn't possible, but if I could get a definitive answer, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

Hi,
Agreed with DonPick.
Internet Explorer 11 is preinstalled with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

BARS data (when replacing publisher server)

Hi there,
I gonna replace the publisher server and then connect the new publisher with the existing subscriber.
My question is:
When I run BARS and choose the data source server, should I choos both publisher and subscriber server?
Or just publisher server?
I read the BARS document as follows,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00807a78ce.html
And "Replacing Servers During the Upgrade" as follows, http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/4_1/install/upgrade/upg413/replace.htm
Those documents don't include the detailed information.
Thanks.

Hi Qinghao, Thanks man!
Good stuff, you are halfway there! The db replication problem and DC directory health problem are most likely related;
Interpreting the Results
The validation results display in the Upgrade Assistant Summary window. At the top of the window, a report summarizes the results for all modules and displays which modules failed, which modules produced warnings, and which modules passed. A link to the folder that contains all log files, including the Upgrade Assistant Summary report, displays also.
To identify a problem with the failed validation module, review the following information that displays in the Summary window:
The first link points to the log file that specifies the error or warning.
Click the first link and search for the error or warning; for example, ERR: or WARN: .
The second link points to the corrective action file that describes the log file error message and recommends the corrective action.
Click the second link to open the corrective action file. Search the corrective action file for the error message that is noted in the log file. Review the description and corrective action.
Caution After you correct all problems that the utility identifies, Cisco strongly recommends that you run the utility again on every server in the cluster before you begin the upgrade.
Obtaining the Log File
You can obtain the results from the utility in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cisco\Logs\UPGRADEASST (for example, UPGRADEASST-05-15-2003_13.47.58)
To access the log file, click the Summary file.
Tip A link to the log file displays in the Summary window for every failed validation module. To access the log file, click the link in the Summary window.
The Summary.html file, which is the Upgrade Assistant Summary report, provides the exact same information that displays in the Upgrade Assistant Summary window.
Each time that you run the utility, the utility creates a new log folder and new set of log files. The utility does not remove the log files, even if you uninstall the utility. You erase the log files when you reimage the server or manually delete the files.
From this good doc;
Using Cisco CallManager Upgrade Assistant Utility 4.1(3) for Cisco CallManager Release 3.3(5) and Later Releases
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_installation_guide09186a00803f5c59.html#wp262763
**This db replication between Pub and Sub(s) is broken**
The publisher database server upgrade requires that all call-processing processes that the server handles fail over to the configured subscriber servers. Database replication must exist prior to the upgrade, so failover occurs.
This utility verifies the database replication status for all subscriber servers in the cluster. This utility validates that the database contains the latest information about the system. Validation results include Running, Idle, Failed, or Succeeded.
Have a look at this doc for the method to fix the db replication issue;
Using DBLHelper to Reestablish a Broken Cisco CallManager Cluster SQL Subscription

After soak test update, I get error messages repeatedly. The majority are "unfortunately, messaging has stopped", but you can replace messaging with "android os", or any other process, as it happens with more than just messaging. I have had numerous people call and ask why I didn't reply to their texts...and I look, but have not received any new texts. YES, I have restarted phone. I have cleared data as well as cache on all apps. I have downloaded the vzw messaging app, which seems silly, since it happens with several different processes and apps, but all to no avail. I am missing texts from my employer, from my family. This did happen, but rarely, before this "soak test". It is now Kitkat version 19.6.3.obake_verizon.en.US. THIS is when I started having problems...like 50 times a day kind of problems! I have seen hundreds of posts all over the internet over the past 3 days. Does no one know how to fix this??? Shouldn't there be a way to revert phone to a pre-update state? and no, hard reset did NOT work!!!! I have been with verizon for well over 15 years, but I have not upgraded my lines and will not in July either. This is ridiculous. It's not like my games aren't working, it is my messaging and "android os"...my lifeline at work!

kristinaf333,
Oh no, I am sorry to hear your messages are not working since the software update. I greatlly appreciate doing all that troubleshooting to try and get the messaging application back in business. I know how much I rely on my messages so I can understand the urgency to get this resolved. Have you had a resolution ticket opened since you started experiencing issues with your messages? Does this happen with all contacts or just some? Please provide additional information to ensure we get to the bottom of this for you.

I have a MacBook Pro 15.4" 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo (A1286) - Mid 2009 MC118LL/A and I think the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868 is going out. Should I replace it with the exact same drive or is there a better one that is compatible?

I went to my local Apple store last weekend with a similar issue on my 2007 C2D MBP and they quoted me a price of around £60 (excluding VAT) to replace the optical drive. That's about the same price as the external optical drive a bought for my RMBP.
Alternatively you could just buy a 3rd party external drive if you want to save cash but note that the external Apple superdrive is not compatible with MacBooks with built in optical drives.

I have changed computers and installed iTunes on my new computer. I want to sync my iphone now but the "sync" program indicates that it will remove all data on my phone and replace it with the newly installed itunes that does not have my information.

I have a new computer and have installed iTunes on it.
Now I want to sync my iphone but the new itunes on the new computer wants to remove everything on my niphone and replace it with what's on the newly installed itunes data but it does not have my data.
How can I sync the new itunes with my iphone and not have my phone data wiped out?
Thanks,

There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem. You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back.
