Repository database backward compatiblity.

Repository db: 10.2.0.4
OS: AIX 5.3
Target DB : 10.2.0.2
Hello Folks,
My repository database is 10.2.0.4 and catalog resides on that server, I have few target databases which is are on 10.2.0.2 and I am planning to upgrade all to 10.2.0.4, due to restriction from application side, I am not able to upgrade it to 10.2.0.4 so planning to use new upgraded (10.2.0.4) catalog repositry database.
My question is, Is it possible to have target database (10.2.0.2) has metadata information in 10.2.0.4 repository database? Any suggestion ?
Thanks.

Hi HG,
Recovery, cloning it all works as long as you recover/restore the database to the same rdbms version it had during the backup.
Also note the oradba's message about the rman executable version which is upwards compatible.
You could run all rman backups from one central server but you have to take into account the executable version is, within limits, on an equal or a lower version than the target rdbms.
(see metalink note 73431.1).

Tycho

  • Postgres update is not backwards compatible

    Hi all,
    the 8.4 postgresql server updated recently isn't backwards compatible, it refuses to read the old database files. Basically I have wasted 2 hours of my life because arch happily upgraded postgres without saying anything.  If I knew this beforehand I could just dump the database and restore the dump into 8.4. The problematic vim or php upgrades were at least announced on the arch news feed..
    Anyway my personal opinion is that a news feed isn't good enough.
    I'm wondering if we could have a functionality in pacman giving information about updates that would break a live server without user interaction, and asking for confirmation to proceed.

    None of the PostgreSQL major upgrades (ie, 8.2 -> 8.3 -> 8.4) can read the databases from other versions. They always require a full dump and restore of your databases. This is stated in the PostgreSQL documentation under "Upgrading":
    http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/inte … ading.html

    Pacman is a package manager, not a system administrator.

    If you're going to run software that is seemingly so important to your operations, then you should familiarize yourself with the software in question, not just rely on pacman (a package manager) to take care of it for you. At the very least, add 'postgresql' to the 'IgnorePkg' list in pacman.conf so it won't be upgraded until you force an upgrade.

  • Is ODBC 9i driver backward compatible?

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle 8i, but I was wondering if I can use the 9i ODBC driver? Is it backward compatible?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    As long as you have an Oracle 9i client installed, you should be using the 9i ODBC driver. If you have an 8i client, you should be using the 8i ODBC driver.
    The 9i driver will have no problem connecting to an Oracle 8 or 8i database. I have heard the some people have had difficulty when connecting to an Oracle 7 database, but I've never tried that.

  • The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol. My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this. Any idea how it can be fixed???

    Hello,
    You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
    However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy.  There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
    I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player?  Not  knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
    And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

  • XCelsius 2008 is not backward compatible with ver 4.5

    Post Author: Joseph
    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    I tried opening a project that was done with ver 4.5 but it just said that "Crystal Xcelsius is unable to load this file. This file may be corrupt or may have features that cannot be supported by this version of Crystal Xcelsius." So i guess I probably have to recreate the project in the 2008 version to take advantage of the new features available. So I imported the excel datasheet used in the old project to a new project in Xcelsius 2008 and tried recreating the objects from scratch. I had started with an accordion menu and two list boxes and then I decided to export to swf to test. However, the result was disappointing. I could only see the two list boxes but not the accordion menu. There was a message saying "Initializing..." that stayed. Does this mean I have to recreate the excel data from scratch as well?

    X2008 is backward compatible with CX4.5.  But Jim is correct. There is a bug in X2008 which prevents it from opening some 4.5 models by double-clicking on the filename.  They can be opened from the File > Open menu.  This only affects opening the model.Due to the many changes between CX4.5 and X2008, the migration of old CX4.5 models is not clean.  Differences will be seen.  Most are cosmetic affecting only the look of the model.  But some tidy up, color changes and re-alignment work must be done.   There was no way to gain the benefits of X2008 and still keep CX4.5 models unchanged.Andy  

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 Repository Database

    We've configured a new CRS 2008 server and have a "failed reports" report that worked in the old Crystal Enterprise 10 environment.   It would query the repository database CMS_InfoObjects table and report failed reports for the day.
    With the new version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 and the new repository database, the ObjName field and others in this table are now varbinary fields.
    How can we query this field like we did with the old version to get our "failed reports" report to work?
    I can't really find any informatin on the structure, etc. or how to query the repository database.

    Unfortunately, you can't query it directly from a report.  You have to use the query language that comes with the SDK.
    I'm not sure whether CRS comes with the same Query Builder tool that comes with BusinessObjects, but if it does you can access it through a url like this: http://<server name>/AdminTools/querybuilder/ie.jsp.
    To get the list of failed reports, you would run something like this query:
    Select SI_NAME, SI_ID, SI_CREATION_TIME
    from CI_INFOOBJECTS
    where SI_INSTANCE = 1
      and SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS = 3
      and SI_CREATION_TIME >= '2010/08/19,00:00:00'
    Unfortunately, there is no way to automate this with the Query Builder.  You would have to manually run this query every day to get the information you're looking for.
    If you can write code in Visual Studio or Java (or have someone available who can do this), this type of thing is not difficult to do in the SDK.  You could handle it a couple of ways:
    1.  Create a program that loads the information to a table in your database and then run a report in CRS that will show that data.
    2.  Create a program that loads the data into memory and runs a report off of the in-memory data.
    Either type of program could be set to run under the Windows Scheduler to automatically provide the information.

  • How to upgrade repository database from 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.3?

    I installed EM10gR3 on Linux. I chose Install Grid Control using a New Database option. The database is 10.1.0.4. How can I upgrade repository database to 10.2.0.3? Shall I install Oracle 10.2.0.3 and then use dbua to upgrade?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Yes. But first of all check that the 10.2.0.3 Repository is compartible with 10.2.0.3 database. You will find this in the Installation Guide. Then use any upgrade type (DBUA, Upgrade Script etc) to upgrade the database.

  • Thunderbolt/Firewire adapter backwards compatible?

    So I just bought a new 4TB G-Raid w/ Thunderbolt. Additionally, I bought a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, so I can connect my Firewire 800 equipped mac to the hard drive. IT DOESN'T WORK . I've read that they only work with a Thunderbolt equipped mac, to a female fw 800 cable. However, the deeper I've dug, I've heard that they are indeed backwards compatible (specifically with the G-tech drives), or that there can be software drivers that can make them backwards compatible. Anyone have any ideas??
    Speccs: 2010 mbp 17 inch. 2.53 ghz i5. 8gb RAM.

    Yes, I know that my mbp doesn't have a TB port, but I was hoping that the adapter would solve this problem, as it would change the connectivity to FW 800. I realize that is bottlenecking it, but I didn't have much choice because of the harddrive I had to buy. As for the eSata connections, I've never used that method. So I guess I wouldn't really know where to begin in considering that. However, the current drive I have now is:

    Thank you for your help! If all else fails, I'm just going to have to travel a bit further to buy a 4tb drive with FW, and return the one I just bought. Hopefully that's not the case....:/

    tnsping is working, but we are getting following error ;
    Database access error. Reason Loading shared object failed. First tried to load library oci and failed because of error: [%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
    ]. Second tried to load library oci.dll and failed because of error: [%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
    Problems installing Xi 3.1 sp3 with Oracle DB
    Same problem solve via using 32bit oracle client, how can i instalee 32 bit oracle client, because oracle path's using ths insttalion directory on same server,
    Could you please wirte the steps for how to install oracle client for boe on the same server via 64 bit oracle home
    Best Regards

    BusinessObjects is not a 64-bit application.  It is a 32-bit application that can be run on a 64-bit server.  My experience has been that because it is a 32-bit application, it will not work with 64-bit database drivers.  For example, we have to set up 32-bit ODBC connections in order to connect to MS SQL Server even though the server where BOE is installed is a 64-bit server.

  • Can anyone give me the steps for moving the repository databases in 9.3.0?

    We are in the 9.3.0 environment and I need to move the four repository databases for essbase, biplus and webanalysis/workspace to a new machine. I tested moving the databases and rerunning the config util, but I lost my sample reports I created earlier. Does anyone have a step by step procedure for moving the repositories?
    Thanks,
    -C.

    If you are moving reports why don't you bulk export them from workspace and then import them into your target.
    Are you talking about migrating the repository across different shared services environments, if so then I doubt you will have much luck with trying to migrate the workspace repository as it pretty tied in with shared services.
    Cheers

  • Is The iPod Touch Backward Compatible With USB 1.1 Connections?

    Hi. I intend to get the iPod Touch soon. But, before I make the leap, I'd like to know whether the iPod Touch is backward compatible with my older USB 1.1 connections. Any help will be appreciated here. Thank you.

    Hello Castlegard,
    As mentioned, the Minimum System Requirements for the iPod Touch does specify USB 2.0, see the requirements here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1323
    While it is theoretically possible to sync over a USB 1.1 connection, your mileage may vary. Consider that USB 1.1 has a transfer rate of 12Mbit/sec, where USB 2.0 is 480Mbit/sec, so USB 2.0 is basically 40x faster. Transferring small files may succeed, but when you try to get iTunes to update or restore an iPod Touch, it will be trying to push a 300MB file (approximately) through a 12Mbit pipe. Trying to do updates or restore via USB 1.1 will often result in iTunes timing out before the process is complete.
    If I were to try to sync a 1.5GB movie over a USB 1.1 connection, I could probably go to downtown Sydney and have a nice dinner and attend a concert at the Sydney Opera House and still get back before the sync was complete. BTW, I live in California...
    If your computer is a desktop tower, upgrading to USB 2.0 is a relatively inexpensive proposition. If you are not a handy person with a phillips screwdriver or electical devices, most computer dealers or resellers will install for a nominal fee.

  • Is Compressor 4.1.2 backwards compatible with FCP7?

    Last year I transferred FCP7 to my 2013 MBP from my 2008 MBP and for whatever reason Compressor did not migrate over. I tried copying it and moving it but it will not work. So I figured I would buy the new Compressor but I want to check first to see if it's backwards compatible.

    Is there any interoperability? No. Can you export self-contained movies from FCP 7 and import them into Compressor/  Of course.
    Many experienced FCP editors advise against "transferring" or migrating any of the FCS applications. If you were the purchaser of the Final Cut Studio suite yourself, you should still have the install disks, from which you can easily install C 3.5. That's the recommendation for most reliable performance,
