RestoreSQL2008 DB backup into new SQL2014 Instance

I was operating SBS2008 with imbedded SQL2008. I did a DB backup of an application DB. I now am MS 2012 R2 with SQLServer 2014. Can I restore the 2008 DB version into SQL2104?

Hello John,
Sure; you can ...
- restore databases from an older SQL Server version to a newer one, but not from a newer to an older one.
- the server version can have at least 3 version difference, means a 2008 database can be restore to 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 (the current version)

Import data backup into another DB instance

Hello all.
I need to import a Data Backup into Another Database instance. MaxDb version 7.3.
On higher versions of MaxDb I performed this operation without any problems (http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/43/d5ebc2c9ed3ab3e10000000a422035/frameset.htm).
For this version of MaxDB I have such problem:
the commands don't coincide with help description, I define backup template, transfer DB instance to admin state, open utility session and try to srart recovery (there is no command db_activate RECOVER <template>)
dbmcli on Q46>util_connect
OK
dbmcli on Q46>recover_start DEMO
ERR
-24988,ERR_SQL: sql error
-903,Message not available,blockcount mismatch
What I can do? How can I start recover from data backup from another DB on this version of MaxDB?

I have tried to perform backup of original system and recovery to another database one more time.
There is the another error:
dbmcli on Q46>recover_start DemoD46_recover
ERR
-24988,ERR_SQL: sql error

ThanksWhen discuss about restoring then there is not think "creating" control file (CF),there is restoring files(like control,data or archive logs).I exactly do not know which operation you did for this restoration but you can not be create CF without restoring data files.If you have COLD backup then you need just create need directories for traces(background,user dumps) and files(control/data/online log) and set environment variable(ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_SID) then start database using STARTUP PFILE='PFILE_LOCATION',in this case if you want restore datafiles different location then source database then STARTUP MOUNT PFILE='PFILE_LOCATION' and rename files names using ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE 'OLD_NAME' TO 'NEW_NAME' then open database as ALTER DATABASE OPEN.If you have HOT backup then after restoring database STARTUP MOUNT and need recover it using RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL and apply all available archive logs then you an open database using ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.And Finally if you have RMAN backup(HOT or COLD) then firstly you have to restore spfile from autobackup using RESTORE SPFILE FROM 'AUTOBACKUP_LOCATION'(you need execute this command after STARTUP NOMOUNT) and need again STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT.After that you have to restore controlfile as same as RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'AUTOBACKUP_LOCATION'.Now you can restore database as RESTORE DATABASE and RECOVER DATABASE then open database with RESETLOGS option.But remember that in oracle 9i you must copy all backups to original/same location as target database.

Moving old backups into new air capsule

is it possible to set up an air capsule to inherit the backups that time machine made on an external USB hard drive? I'd hate to lose all the backups i have since 2011. Thanks

The problem here is that Time Machine stores backups differently on an external hard drive compared to a network drive like the Time Capsule. You will not be able to combine the backup files into a single file.
Life will be tons easier if you simply start new backups on the Time Capsule and keep the USB drive around for another 5-6 months until you have some backup history on the Time Capsule.
If you find that you don't really need to go back and look at backups that were made two years ago, you might want to consider erasing the USB drive at some point and using it as a general purpose drive....or a second Time Machine backup drive.
In other words, have Time Machine backup to both the Time Capsule and hard drive. The application will automatically alternate backups between the Time Capsule and hard drive. When....not if...one drive fails, you will have a solid backup history on the "other" drive.

I have been restoring the backup into a new iphone for a week. My pictures do not get restored however. Is there anything I can do?

Not unless the phone was backed up to the icloud or in iTunes at some point. I know you said it's crushed but can it be connected to a computer? If so you can still back it up in iTunes and then when the new phone comes use iTunes to restore that back up on it.

TS4036 I have restored a backup into a new iPad but it did not downloaded all my photos. There is a message saying " downloading 515 of 1230" but it never finishes downloading. How can I get all my photod downloadeda.

Sorry this solution is late but I just got off of the phone with Apple support and this worked.
Open iTunes
Connect your iPhone and keep it connected during this entire process.
In the iTunes menu at the very top (File, Edit, View) choose STORE> Sign in and sign into your iTunes account.
Once this is complete look at the upper right corner of iTunes and you will see an iPhone and Store button, cick STORE. Now you will be in the iTunes store where you see the advertisements of the various albums, songs etc. Look on your upper left of the window for your itunes account name and in the black band next to your iTunes account name, you will see a House icon, then Music, Movies, TV Shows etc.
Make sure the HOUSE icon is selected.
Stay on this screen in iTunes and on the lower RIGHT, you will see an area that says- QUICK LINKS. In that area click - Purchased
After you do this you will be transported to another area of iTunes. Here there will be a menu across the top- Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Books are the choices.
Choose APPS and you will see the apps that you have purchased. You will also see the apps that didn't download to your phone.
Find the apps that didn't download and click the cloud next to their name. Doing this will download the chosen apps to the computer you are on.
Once you have downloaded the apps in question, in the upper right corner click LIBRARY.
Now you should see the button that says iPhone because your phone is still plugged in. Click the iPhone button and then click SYNC on the lower right to sync your iPhone.
The apps you downloaded will now be on your phone.
Sorry for the long instructions but this is what works.

Restoring a RMAN backup to a new database instance

Hi Mates,
I have an issue with restoring a RMAN backup that i have with me to a new database instance. What i have with me are:
1. Backup of SPFile. (O1_MF_NCNNF_CTLFILE_BU_92DVGYO2_.BKP)
2. Backup of Control file (O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
3. Full database backup (O1_MF_NNSNF_FULLPROD_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
I have received these files from a customer environment and I need to restore these to a new database instance in a local machine. I have given a attempt as follows (in Oracle 10g):
1, Created a new database instance (Test75) using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant
2. SET ORACLE_SID = Test75
3. Connected to this instance using RMAN
4. Tried to restore the SPFILE from the received BKP file.
I am getting errors and cannot proceed. I am not sure whether I am executing the correct steps. Please help me out by telling me how should I achieve this.
Thank you.

1. Backup of SPFile. (O1_MF_NCNNF_CTLFILE_BU_92DVGYO2_.BKP)
2. Backup of Control file (O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
The first backuppiece looks like a ControlFile and the second one looks like an SPFILE'
>I am getting errors and cannot proceed
What is the error ? (I assume that you tried to restore the SPFILE from O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP
Note that you also have to SET DBID before you restore the controlfile

HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup. I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out. I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it. All I need are my contact

Sorry for short novel I am writing. I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
So, here it goes. I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie. The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty. A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup. The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie. I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore. So I attempted another restore. All was well at this point. I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source. A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer. I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes. Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh). Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck. The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine). We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive. Ok, this is where it gets weird. We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files. Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought. The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders. When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored). This left tech support and I both scratching our heads. My service issue was escalated to the next level. I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through. As usual, apple disappoints again. I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s. I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files. Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.

How can you merge multiple daily backups into one backup for that day?

Ok, so I had some trouble getting Time Machine to backup some new files and finally had a force a "deep traversal." But now I have 20+ backups for today before I did the "deep traversal" because I was selecting "Back Up Now" to get it to backup up the new files.
Because it is annoying to have so many backups for one day, which differ only by incoming and outgoing emails, I am wanting to combine all the backups for today into a single backup for today. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

Yes. Wait 24 hours, and Time Machine will do it for you. It keeps all backups for 24 hours, but only one (the first of the day) for a month. Thereafter, it keeps one per week, deleting the others, as long as there's room. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Are Virtual Copies saved in Backups? How do I insert a backup into an existing catalog?

Are Virtual Copies saved in Backups? How do I insert a backup into an existing catalog
I deleted a tif image file that I didn't intend to, which had several LR virtual copies created from it. The virtual copies had a lot of important history that document my print preparation edits. Are these virtual copies saved in the LR backups?
If so, how can I insert them into the catalog I am using? I have made a lot of edits in the two days since my last backup and don't want to lose that history either. Do you suggest I make a current backup before retrieving files from my last backup? I know I'm supposed to go to the backup location and open the last backup, but how do I blend that with the current work from the last 2 days?
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Tom

Rob,
That was exactly what I was after. However, I'm still having trouble getting the virtual copies imported. The master file was in my trash, I restored it to the original hard drive folder. Before I got your message I re- imported it to LR but of course LR came up with a new name since I was importing from and saving it to the same folder in LR. And of course no copies. This may have been a mistake, but before starting the procedure you described, I re-named the master file (it seemed that the import from backup would re-create it so I didn't want a conflict).
Then I did what you said and used the 'Import From Another Catalog' feature. I found the virtual copies in the backup and checked them. But when the import completed, the it gave me file names xxx/Copy1, xxx/Copy2 but there was no image or history or metadata. When I tried to find the folder containing the files, it said it couldn't be found. So I missed something in the settings. When I tried again, there was a warning saying the file(s) exists in the catalog and its settings differ. I went ahead anyway and the message I got was "No Photos in previous import"
Here's what the import from backup shows:
A box with catalog contents and all the folders and files within them, that you can check.
A New Photos section, which gives 2 file handling choices: a)add new photos to the catalog without moving them or b) don't import new photos
A Changed existing photos section with 2 replace options: a) nothing or b) Metadata and develop setting only. If you choose this you can check a box to preserve old settings as a virtual copy.
Not sure what to do. I changed the master file back to its original name, but that didn't make a difference. Suggestions? Thanks, Tom

How to undo update of checkbox after triggering when-new-record-instance

Hi,
I am using eBusiness Forms Personalization in 11.5.10 to alter the Receipts form in Purchasing. I want to prevent users checking the rcv_transaction checkbox if the destination is "Multiple" and, instead, click the "+" sign to explode the multiple record into it's many component records.
I can do this by invoking the when-new-record-instance trigger to make the "multiple" record fields unalterable and issue a warning message when the user selects such records. However, my problem is that - if the user clicks the checkbox as the first field in a "multiple" record, then this updates the checkbox to "Yes" BEFORE the trigger fires, which then locks the record for update.
What I need is a solution that either sets the checkbox to unalterable for "multiple" records BEFORE the user clicks into such records, OR a method of undoing the update of the checkbox after the record has been selected (I cannot do this by simply setting it to "No" by the trigger as this is still technically an update and locks the record).
Cheers
Graham

Hi Navnit,
Yes you are right, but it can work even we not plase quotation mark in it. But Yes I forget to place semi colon so now it is
IF :System.Cursor_Record = 1 THEN
   :Block.Col1 := '02:00';
ElsIF :System.Cursor_Record = 2 THEN
   :Block.Col1 := '07:00';
   ------and so on

Restoring from backup to new location + not wanting files renamed

Hi there - I am a newbie to this forum.
I have a Win XP machine that recently needed to have the hard drive wiped and the OS re-installed. Fortunately I had a recent backup of all my data so I'm in a good starting position for a restore. However I have some questions as the re-install of the OS has had a change in profile name.
Before my machine was wiped, I had a "Daniel" profile and so my "iTunes Media folder location" was set to C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel\My Documents\My Music.
After my PC was rebuilt, a new profile was created called "dnl". iTunes has been re-installed (version 10.1.2.17). The first time I launched iTunes the "iTunes Media folder location" was set to C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music. I did NOT choose to have iTunes browse/load my files and so currently iTunes shows no files or playlists.
I have recreated the C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel\My Documents\My Music folder from my backup so all the music files and the previous libraries are presently in this location. However even if I change the "iTunes Media folder location" within iTunes to point to the "old" location, it doesn’t find the files or libraries.
I have tried deleting the following files from C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music\iTunes:
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
I did this assuming that the next time iTunes was launched, it would refer to the old location (as specified as my "iTunes Media folder location"), find the old library files there and use them. However it seems to ignore them and simply re-creates the files above in the location I deleted them from.
So…I am unclear as to the best strategy to have iTunes point back to the old location to find the music files and retain all the playlists I had.
I found this thread: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364. It mentions a method that will find all the files in the old location and move them to the new location, retaining playlists, artwork etc. Once the data has been copied, it advises to delete the files from the original location.
However I see that it mentions checking the ‘Keep iTunes Media folder organized’ option. From reading other threads I know this to be a source of one very irritating problem – it renames all the file names. I have specifically ripped my music using software other than iTunes for the express purpose of being able to tag the filenames with more specific info than iTunes would. I like the files to named <artist>-<album>-<track no>-<track title>.<file extension> and am not a fan of the very basic filenames that iTunes assigns.
So…I want to have iTunes simply point back to the old location and not do any file renaming. I am happy enough to have iTunes simply point to a location that isn’t technically part of my current profile. I don’t have a desperate need for the files to be moved to the dnl profile.
So…I am guessing there has to be some other file (or registry setting?) that knows where best to point to? Can this modified?
I would be appreciative of any assistance.
Thanks!

Hi Daniel, welcome to Apple Discussions.
The default location for the iTunes library folder is <Profile><Music>iTunes with the media folder at *<Profile>\<Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media*. For XP the <Music> folder is My Documents\My Music.
When iTunes starts up it looks for a set of library files in the last location it used. If that location is also the default location and it can't find the library files it assumes it has just been installed and creates a new set.
Changing the location of the *iTunes Media* folder in preferences does not change which set of library files it opens, nor will it automatically detect all the media in that location.
Ideally you should restore the folder iTunes and all its subfolders from your backup into *C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music* and start iTunes. All should work perfectly and, as far as iTunes is concerned, you will be using the same library as you used to. Any iDevices should sync without problems.
If you media was not is the usual locations or you are unable to restore the entire iTunes folder then things become more complicated. Post back if you still have trouble and I will try to go into more detail.

Creating New Entity Instances within OPA

This is another one that I think I know the answer to, but I think it is best to confirm.
In prior versions, it was not possible to create entity instances within RuleBurst/Haley Office Rules. Is that still the case in OPA?
For example, my rules are determining the status of a case and the reason(s) why that status was determined. The case status may be Denied and the reasons may be "invalid customer Id", "expenses to income ratio too high", "primary customer not employed long enough", etc. I want to return all the reasons for the status. While the list of reasons is pre-determined, the ones that apply to a particular case are dynamic, as any, but not all can apply.
Given this situation using a database, I would create an instance of reason for each applicable one and link it to the case. In the past, with OPA's predecessor(s), it was not possible to create new instances from within. They either had to all be passed into the rulebase or a list of all allowable reasons attributes had to be created and then set to true for the ones that applied.
My preference is to create the instances inside OPA. Is that functionality provided in the current version?
Thanks,
Terry

Hi Terry,
Michael is correct that you can't write rules at design time which will dynamically create new entity instances at runtime. However, perhaps the new inferred relationships functionality in v10 could address what you're trying to do.
You can write rules which conclude membership of an inferred relationship. So you might always have, say, 10 instances of 'the reason' in every case, but as for which of those instances apply in any particular case, it depends on the details of the case. You could use an inferred relationship to collect up the entity instances which apply in the case.
First you'd need to set up a regular one-to-many relationship to instantiate the 10 instances at runtime - this would be done in the usual way. Then you'd also need to set up an inferred relationship and write rules to conclude the members of the inferred relationship. The instances which are members of the inferred relationship are then effectively the list of entity instances you wanted to create in your example above.
Have a look at this OPM Help article: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/policy-automation/help/opm10_1/Content/Rules%20using%20entity%20instances/Reason_about_relship_between_2_entities.htm
