SAP Archiving - Migrating from one archive backend to another.

Hi,
We use SARA for archiving and the archiving system is IBM Provided Filenet Database with ACSAP middle-ware.
From 1999 till 2009 we have archived terabytes of data into Filenet Database.
We plan to discontinue Filenet as our choice of archiving backend system and will like to migrate all existing archived data to the new archivingsystem. We are yet to decide what new system will will move to.
We are looking for help from SAP to answer following questions:
1) Is it possible migrate all past data from existing archiving system to a new one?
2) If Yes, then what is the broad approach? Does the data have to be retrieved back to SAP OR Can it be directly migrated from one backend to another one?
Retrieving the data and reloading into another tool in my opinion would be rather cumbersome and stupid method until this is the only option.
In Any case, at the end of day we want that all the data should be readable from SAP like before.
3) Is there any SAP provided tool that we can use rather then going for a 3rd party product?
4) Please guide to migration related documentation.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Regards,
Chandra.

Hello Chandra
yes- there are ways to migrate data out of Filenet into 3rd party tool without retrieving them back through SAP. I am not aware of any SAP tool itself but we have one and could help you with this effort. Please contact me at 610 3508677 and we can discuss the possibilities.

What components of VM are lost after its migration from one physical host to another?

Hi, I found this post very helpful for me, it is very easy to understand about the live VM migration. I have a confusion regarding VM migration that if any
VM is migrated from one physical host to another what components of VM (vCPU, vBIOS, vRAM, vHD, vNIC, OS, Apps) will be changed?
Kindly help me to understand that:
1.Will Operating System running on VM be changed? 2. Will BIOS and Boot Loader information be changed?
Thanks Looking forward for your response.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing. We're talking about "live-migration" not VM conversion from one hypervisor to another, like a VM from VMWare or XenServer to a VM on Hyper-V, right?
As mentioned above, when a VM is
live-migrated from one Hyper-V host to another, nothing changes. Bios does not change. A
Gen1 VM with traditional BIOS firmware will not turn into a Gen2 machine with UEFI firmware for example.
Boot loader will not change when a VM is live-migrated from one Hyper-V host to another.
MAC address on VM NICs will change when a VM is live-migrated from one Hyper-V host to another, unless the VM NIC is configured with a static MAC address. A Changed MAC address will be interpreted by the VM as a new NIC, which will lose its old IP settings.
Stopping and restarting a VM on the same Hyper-V host changes nothing about the VM synthetic hardware such as NICs, BIOS firmware, or its internal startup files like boot loader.
Stopping a VM, and restarting it on another Hyper-V host changes nothing except the VM NIC's MAC address if it is configured to have a dynamic MAC address as described above.

secondly can we copy part of org structure or total org structcture to new org plan. if we need to create new org structure which interface is advisable and why?
i request experts opinions on this.

Migration from one oracle DB to another Oracle DB

Hi ,
We are migration data from one oracle DB to another Oracle DB. Lets take it as DB1 and DB2.
Both are having many tables and many columns. So some tables contains common columns with different data types and same datatype with different datasize.
I am trying to map the columns in both the DB's. Then I will retrieve what are the equal columns and what are columns have difference in data types and datatype lengths.
for Eg : Please find the below tables and the structures.
DB1                                                              DB2
EMP                                                             EMPLOYEE
ENO   VARCHAR2(10)                                  EMP_NO Number(8)
ENAME Varchar2(25)                                   EMP_NAME Varchar2(20)
SAL   NUMBER(8)                                        JOb    VARCHAR2(20)
Description BLOB/CLOB                              Department   Varcgar2(20)
                                                                   SAL number(8,3)
                                                                   JOB_DESC varchar2(30)
I would like to migrate DB1 to DB2
Here I found the differences as follows.
1. There is relation between EMP and EMPLOYEE tables.
2. Datatype is different for EMPNO(DB2) compare to DB1. ( Here in DB1 datatype is Varchar and in DB2 it is Number )
3. in DB1 Ename datatype length is 25 and in DB2 it is 20...
So can any one suggest me any pl/sql automation code how can we map the columns,datatypes,datalengths and other required information.
Can you please suggest me and give your suggestions to write automation code if possible or how can we resolve these type of issues.
Thanks,
Vas

So can any one suggest me any pl/sql automation code how can we map the columns,datatypes,datalengths and other required information.
No such 'automation code' exists. You need to write your own mapping functions and exception handling processes.
Can you please suggest me and give your suggestions to write automation code if possible or how can we resolve these type of issues.
Finish what you started. The most important step you can take is to create a Functional Requirements document that includes, at a minimum:
1. Mapping of each source table to each target table
2. Lists of possible errors, or dirty data issues, that might be encountered
3. The business rules that should be applied to each of those possible errors
You already made a good start on the mapping for the one table above. And you made a good start of identifying the possible errors:
2. Datatype is different for EMPNO(DB2) compare to DB1. ( Here in DB1 datatype is Varchar and in DB2 it is Number )
Good - it should be easy for everyone in your org to agree that you can't put 'TEXT' data into a NUMBER column so now you need to document that issue:
1. Identify data in DB1.ENO that is not numeric
2. Remove, ignore, fix that data?
What do the business users want to do with text data in that DB1.ENO column that is not numeric? They need to tell you. They may want a report or excel file that contains that 'dirty' data so they can review and/or fix it. They may want to query that data for themselves. They may want to know where that data came from - especially if the data is all supposed to be numeric.
3. in DB1 Ename datatype length is 25 and in DB2 it is 20...
Good - use the same process as above
1. Identify data in DB1.ENAME that is longer than 20.
2. Remove, ignore, fix that data? Truncate it?
Again - it is usually the business users that need to actually determine what should be done. Your job is to identify that 'dirty' data and/or make it available to the business users so they can research it
You don't need to wait for the business users to actually provide all of those answers. You can begin writing pseudo-code that contains steps to deal with those issues - you just can't write the actual code until you have the answers.
You can certainly begin writing queries or procedures that look for 'dirty' data. Just based on the two problems you posted you can write queries to find data that has those two issues.

Sharepoint 2010 - Archiving the files from one document library to another document library in sharepoint site

I have a requirement to move the documents from one document library to another document library.
Source Library - DocumentLib
Destination Library - Archive
Archive document library will have folders by fiscal year.
Source documentlibrary has files from year 2012 till date.
Archive folder will have folders by fiscal year -(fiscal year starts from July1st -June 30th )
If the document is created date between 1st July 2012 -June 2013 then move the document to Archive document library and in folder Fiscal Year 2013.
If the document is created date between 1st July 2013 -June 2014 then move the document to Archive document library and in folder Fiscal Year 2014.
The structure of destination document library folder should be same as source document library.
Please find attached the screenshot of the requirement.
Files Type - Excel,pdf,microsoft outlook item
Could we use Sharepoint designer workflow to achive this task?
Any help on this will be appreaciated.

Hi Asritha,
According to your description, you want to create a workflow to meet the need.
Per my knowledge, there is no built-in action which can move the documents from the current library to a folder in another library.
I recommend to use the custom activity 'Copy List Item Extended' which need to be downloaded from
http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/.
Please per the steps below to deploy the custom activity to SharePoint:
Download the activity form http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/
Open Dos command prompt.
Browse to the directory that you can access stsadm.exe. The default location in version 3.0 is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\bin
Type the stsadm commands: stsadm -o addsolution -filename C:\UsefulSPDWorkflowActivities_0.5.0\DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.wsp (“C:\UsefulSPDWorkflowActivities_0.5.0\” is the file path)
Type the stsadm commands: stsadm -o deploysolution -name DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.wsp -allowgacdeployment -force -immediate
Open the Center Administration, Click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to the Web Application.
After that, we can create a workflow to meet the need.
Here is the detailed steps to create the workflow:
Create a workflow associated with the Source Library DocumentLib and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
Select If current item field equals value, change the settings to be If Current Item: Created is greater than 7/1/2012.
Select If current item field equals value, change the settings to be If Current Item: Created is less than 6/30/2013.
Select Copy List Item Extended, change the settings to be Copy item in Current Item to list at Fiscal Year 2013 folder url.
Select Delete Item, change the settings to be Delete Item in Current Item.
Select If current item field equals value, change the settings to be If Current Item: Created is greater than 7/1/2013.
Select If current item field equals value, change the settings to be If Current Item: Created is less than 6/30/2014.
Select Copy List Item Extended, change the settings to be Copy item in Current Item to list at Fiscal Year 2014 folder url.
Select Delete Item, change the settings to be Delete Item in Current Item.
Publish the workflow.
Best regards.
Thanks

Objects to migrate from one environment to other environement

Hi Gurus,
I have a few questions
1>When we are migrating from one environment to other environment what are all the objects we have to move.
2>If there are 100 reports migrated from one environment to other environment and again we did small changes for 2 reports and if we want to migrate that 2 reports which was the best way to migrate is it possible any by XML.
3>One subject area can consist more than one fact table...?
4>Is it possible join fact-fact table if yes in which type of scenarios we will go for that.
Thanks,

1>When we are migrating from one environment to other environment what are all the objects we have to move.
->Based on changes: Informatica mappings, DAC (mostly manual ) , RPD and Webcat (can use archive method)
2>If there are 100 reports migrated from one environment to other environment and again we did small changes for 2 reports and if we want to migrate that 2 reports which was the best way to migrate is it possible any by XML.
->Can go for archive 2 reports or manually using XML from advance tab, its depends on your migration process
3>One subject area can consist more than one fact table...?
->Yes; You may have to specify the Implicit fact Column
4>Is it possible join fact-fact table if yes in which type of scenarios we will go for that.
->Can go by Fact and Fact Extension tables. Generally we go for multiple fact sources like fact and aggregate fat table
Pls mark if helps

Exchange Migration from One domain to another domain on same forest

Team,
we are in the process of migrating exchange infrastructure from one child domain to another child domain within same forest.
root domain - root.com
child domains - US.root.com and EMEA.root.com
EMEA and US Domains setup are different from each other. Like EMEA has different email address policy , Email Flow than US , connectors etc.
Now we need to migrate all emea users under US Domain. based on the geographical locations, we are building a new dc, mailbox , cas servers on EMEA location , but these servers will be part of US Domain.
for CAS Servers - we are planing to register respective sites ( site affinity), so all the local requests will be handled by new cas server which is built under US Domain.
Mailbox Servers - we would be creating new db's and the limits on new mbx server and going to replicate as its on EMEA Mailbox server.
can some one please let us know what are the precautions , recommendation, sequence which we need to follow to perform smoother migration. as of now , I can think of below topics.
Mailbox Migration -I Have a script , which
will take care of mailbox movement once the objects are being moved.
Contacts Migration - Willard Martin blog helped me to perform migration
DL Migration - I believe there is no mechanism to migrate DL. only option is to recreate.
Email address Policy:we would be creating a new address policy and apply to OU's
DB Consistency check – do we have to perform the health checks on source mailbox server to see , the servers are free from errors /corruption.
Check outlook configuration - After the migration, we need to check and see , the exchange server/ auto discover works and identify the new exchange servers.
Internal /External Email flow.-
Active Sybc , OWA
Public folder Migration -
Offline Address Book
Certificates
any help or suggestions would be great.

How to migrate mail system from one hard drive to another under 10.6.8 in a macpro

how do you migrate mail settings, calendar information, etc from one hard drive to another under 10.6.8 in the same computer? Migration Application does not show this option. It shows from an old computer to another, etc.

You have to install the OS onto the new HD and then use the setup assistant on first boot to migrate from the original HD.

How can I migrate from one user to another within the same computer?

My main user account in my desktop is becoming buggy after to many migrations from different computers and long time usage. I would like to migrate from one user to another user within the same computer to see if this improves my current problems.
How can I do it in a reasonably safe and quick way?
Thank you very much, cheers, Rui
iMAC, OS 10.6.8... and yes, I love Snow Leopard light and handy... and all my programs work on it...

Move small groups of files to the /Users/Shared/ folder or another location and see if the problems disappear. Moving everything to a new user account will in all probability transfer the problems.

Setups migration from one instance to another

Can any one please tell me how to migrate AME (Oracle Approval Management) setups and GL Setups?
We are using AME.B.(11.5.10.2). There will be quite a few of these setups required, and migrating by hand in all the eBS instances will be difficult.
Is there any other way (API/other tools) to achieve this? Can we use FNDLOAD?
Thanks in advance,

Velusamy Raja

Hi Anugrah,
Unfortunately there isn't a facility to allow a customer iStore site to migrate from one environment to another (e.g. Test to Productions) easily. Currently the staging and migration of iStore environments are done manually, and some installations have utilized their own change control systems and adopted their own naming conventions for JSP customization and iStore content to make the environment promotion process more managable.
With that said, there are concurrent programs that allow customers to perform site administration around migrating template mappings between instances (import and export). You can refer to the iStore Implementation & Admin. Guide under the iStore Template Mapping Import / Export Concurrent Programs.

Can I choose what to migrate from one mac (Powrebook G4) to another mac (New iMac)? I do not want everything to be migrated, as some programs are not compatible with Mountain Lion or an intelIntel mac!
As it is a brand New iMac I would also like to keep it clean of unnecessary files that have become imbedded in the Powerbook over its time.Therfore it would be nice if I can pick and choose what is to be transferd. If you can give me a heads up on if and how it would be appreciated!!!

Thanks for your input!… I have now come across an Article from Apple
Migration Assistant tips and tricks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3231?viewlocale=en_US
Controlling what is migrated
With Migration Assistant you control the data that is migrated from another Macintosh computer. By clicking the triangle next to a user's name, you can select which User Accounts to migrate and choose which folders to migrate. You can also choose whether to migrate Applications, Network and Computer settings, or Volumes. Migrating only what you need can reduce the time it takes to complete your migration.

usually you don't have to care too much about the tools used (r3ldctl = R3load control | r3szchk = R3 size checker | r3load = R3 Load), because you normally use r3setup/sapinst to fulfill the copy/migration. r3setup/sapinst will call the appropriate tools with the needed options...
-> which release are we talking about?
-> which os and which database do you use?
-> how big is your source database?
-> do you have any time issues while making the copy?

Business Rules Migration from one server to other server

Hi All,
Can some body help on business rules migration from one server to other server? and also wt is the difference there in Export and import BR's and Administration repository to migrate.........i fail to understand if we export and import br's and need to change in xml target server and after import whether all users can able to see this imported BR's ?
then wt is the use of Administration option under Business Rules-->right click-->repository...connect--->need to connect oracle info....wt is this process? can some body help on this please........
thanks,
huser

Hi,
The methods are pretty much the same in what they do.
When you export rules it creates an xml file based on the selection you have picked, you can just log into EAS and do this you don't have knowledge about the repository, it is also useful for migrating across versions. You also have the option of changing the xml file before importing it into your target.
When you migrate the respository you have to physically connect to the database repository and have knowledge of the connection details, it is probably aimed directly at a system admin.
The options in both methods are pretty much the same, you can choose what you want to export or migrate.
You hit issues when you export/migrate for instance the location names change and need to be updated, you can update the xml file to change the locations though if you choose the migrate option you won't have that ability.
The next issue is the user/group accounts which is the biggest flaw, if the users/groups exist on the target and have the exact same SID then they will migrate otherwise they will usually get dropped.
Cheers
