Sharing Process Servers Between Version

The CPS version at my company is 6.0.2. We are going to a later version of CPS (7 or 8, not sure yet) and want to know if the process servers can be shared between the 6 version and the 7 or 8 version. We are wanting to migrate jobs gradually instead of the big bang approach. We have a fair amount of complex jobs that will take considerable time to upgrade and test in the new version. The goal is to keep the current number of process servers to minimize the cost of moving to the newer version. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi George,
If you are looking for the option to have Process Servers of two versions on the same box: that is possible to a large extend. You do need to take special care to separate the environments used by the process servers if you install v6 and v7 on the same box. On Unix this is easy, on Windows this is more work.
V6 (or V7) and V8 Process Servers on the same box is no problem, both on Unix and Windows.
In both cases, this may help preparing for the upgrade, as a lot of the installation work can be done before the actual upgrade.
Coming to your gradual migration question: you cannot have Process Servers of one version connect to a repository of another version. So this means that in order to keep the migration simple, you would need to migrate complete flows from one repository to another repository.
Although technically it is possible to migrate partial flows and create dependencies between the partial flows in different repositories (through events for example), but this makes monitoring and maintenance much more complex.
Due to the large number of dependencies that tend to exist between applications in complex environments, the above logic can result in the situation that if you migrate one flow, almost all the others have to be migrated as well due to the inter-dependencies.
Without knowing more about your environment, it is a bit difficult to suggest the best approach. Sometimes customers start with a new version of CPS on a new set of processes that needs to be implemented, sometimes on another new application that has to be implemented, and then later they add the existing processes.
Most of the times, customers upgrade the full environment in one go, also in complex environments, of course after proper testing in the test environment and proper preparation.
Hope this helps you a bit, let me know if you need anything else.

Anton Goselink

  • Sharing Motion projects between versions

    I've tried to search for it but didn't find something about it.Is it possible to share a Motion project between users that have different versions of Motion (1.0.1, 2, 2.1.1) and if so how should it be exported?

    AFAIK, Motion 1 and 2 can share projects, the only problem arises when a project contains effects/behaviors not available in Motion 1 or maybe renamed between Motion 1 and 2.
    But I've honestly not done sharing - the Fun With... that I post are always saved from Motion 2. In theory any that don't use the Replicator or new filters/behaviors should work in Motion 1... perhaps someone running Motion 1 will answer.
    I recently posted that Gas Sign project specifically not using Motion 2 constructs, but that guy never posted back...

  • I am unable to drag songs from a shared music library between computers.  This was working until about a month ago.  I have updated to the newest versions of Itunes on both computers (a macbook and an older Toshiba satellite).  I have also rebooted both.

    I am unable to drage songs from a shared music library between computers.   This used to work perfectly until a month ago.   I have installed the newest version of Itunes on both computers and have rebooted them, but nothing happens when I try to drag a song to another playlist or another shared folder.  Any ideas how to fix this?

  • Home Sharing not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router.

    Home Sharing is not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router.  I installed a new Verizon FIOS ActionTec  MI424WR GigE wireless / ethernet router, replacing the original FIOS router.  With the old router Home Sharing worked fine across and among all iOS and Windows wired and wireless devices.  With the new router Home Sharing works between and among the Wired PC's but not between the wired PC's and the Wireless connected PC's or iOS devices.  Home Sharing also works between and among the wireless connected PC's and iOS decices but not between them and the wired PC's.
    Only the router was changed.  No changes were made to any of the devices except all were updated with the latest version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 and the iSO devices were updated to iOS vrsion 6.01.  Three PC's are wired and all are running Windows 7.  There also is a Windows Home Server connected to the router by ethernet port.  It does not run iTunes but does provide WebDAV services to my iOS devices.  This works fine.  Two PC's are wireless, one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8.  All of the PC's are connected to the same (new) router via it's ethernet ports and it's wireless access point.  Two of the wired PC's are connected via a high-speed  ethernet hup that is connected to the router (Home Sharing works fine between the two PC's on the hub and the PC on the router).  All wired and wireless devices on the router are visible and members of the router's Home/Office virtual network.
    All of the PC's are visible in the Windows network and all shared files are accessable from all PC's, both wired and wireless.
    Obviously the router seems to be the issue, something between the ethernet and the wireless access point components.  I checked the settings and found nothing that would prevent Home Sharing between the wired and wireless devices.  There is no setting that isolates the wireless network.  I have done the following:
    Read the router user manual and checked all the settings
    Rebooted the router and tested.
    Turned off the router's firewall and tested.
    Home Sharing is turned on all the devices and all use the same Apple ID.
    Restarted iTunes and tested.
    Verified iTunes is "Allowed" in each PC's firewall.
    Again, I can Home Share between the two wireless PC's but not between either of the wireless PC's and any of the wired PC's.  I can Home Share between my iPads and iPhones and either of the two wireless PC's but not with any of the wired PC's.  I can Home Share between any of the wired PC's but not between any wired PC and a wireless PC or iOS device.
    I hope someone may have had a similar problem and has a fix suggestion.  I'm stumped!  I have a;so contacked ActionTec and awaiting an answer.

    Solution from ActionTec is:
    Log into your router.
    Click the Advanced icon
    Cclick Yes
    Click on the IGMP Proxy
    Select Disable
    Click Apply

  • When I "share" to DVD the file is transcoded.  When it reaches 66% it starts to "finishing", but the process stops and does not proceed beyond 66%.  When I stop the sharing process I receive the following message "the share operation dvd has failed".

    When I "share: to DVD the file is transcoded.  When the sharing process gets to 66%, it changes to "finishing" "CreateDVD:waiting fro create disk to finish.  The sharing process does no go beyond 66%, and when I stop the sharing process, I receive the message "the share DVD operation has failed."
    Is this a problem with FCPX or Create DVD?  How can this problem be resolved?

    The handshake between FCP and a hidden app called Create Disk wasn't completed.
    Try this. Select a short range and Share>DVD. In Output Settings. set it to Hard Drive to save as a disk image. (Save to your Desktop so you can find it.) For menu Background, click the Add button, then cancel. That is often enough to wake up the disk burning part of this process. If it makes a disk image, try a physical disk.

  • Is there a way to create a shared net conn. between Airport and Ethenet?

    Is there a way to create a shared internet connection between one airport computer and another via ethernet?
    I have one computer (lets call this computer 'A') connected to the net via Airport which connects to a router, which is directly connected to my ADSL line.
    However, my other computer (computer 'B') is not located within range of this wireless router.
    Is there a way for me to send my internet connection via computer A to computer B, via an Ethernet cable or Airport connection or otherwise?
    ADSL---Wireless Router---(Airport)---Computer A---(Ethernet)---Computer B

    Is there a way for me to send my internet connection via computer A to computer B, via an Ethernet cable or Airport connection or otherwise?
    Yes, it's called Internet Sharing, and here's how to set it up...
    To setup for Internet Sharing (Wireless to Wired):
    Enable Software Firewall (Computer A)
    System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
    o Click Stop to start the software firewall
    Setup the Network
    ADSL Modem > (Ethernet cable) > (Ethernet port) Wireless Internet Router > (wireless) > (AirPort Card) Computer A (Ethernet port) > (Ethernet cable) > (Ethernet port) Computer B
    Setup Port Order (Computer A)
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    o Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
    o Verify that "AirPort" is at the top of the list, followed by "Built-In Ethernet."
    o Click "Apply Now."
    Configure the Internet Connection (Computer A)
    System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > TCP/IP
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Enable Internet Sharing (Computer A)
    System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
    o Share your connection from: AirPort
    o To computers using: Built-In Ethernet (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)

  • How do you use home sharing on the latest version of itunes?

  • My home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2.

    my home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2, even during watching a movie.  I go to the mac to re-turn on home sharing but it is still on.  Any tips?  I also have to turn off and back on at the mac every time i switch on my apple tv.

    Sharing Stopped working again over night.
    I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
    As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    Firewall Section
    5. Check Firewall Settings
    If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
    In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
    If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
    For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
    Block all incoming connections
    Allow only essential services
    If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
    It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day.  This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
    Tommorrow will be the true test.

  • Sharing Photo's between Aperture and iPhoto and syncing to iPads, etc

    Here is my problem.
    I have 5 Macs (1 iMac, 4 laptops.) There are 4 people in my family and we have the family pack of iLife. The iMac is where everything sits with a time capsule and Drobo hanging off of it - about 6 TB's of data. Each Mac sync's with a variety of iPods, iTouchs and iPads. All linked to a user. So for example, all my oldest son's devices sync with only his laptop.
    Well, I finally fixed my media (songs, movies, TV shows, etc) problem by leveraging home share in iTunes and authorizing all my Macs. But not so lucky yet for Photo's.
    Here is the my photo dilemma.
    I like Aperture for the editing and ability to handle large libraries better. So I have Aperture installed on the iMac where everything sits. iPhoto is also installed on the iMac and iPhoto is on all 4 other laptops. Prior to moving to Aperture, sharing photo's between computers was relatively easy using sharing in iPhoto - although it appears sharing in iPhoto is different than home share in iTunes. I converted my iPhoto library on the iMac to Aperture - now sharing is a pain in the neck.
    Ideally, a Home Share like feature would be built into Aperture and iPhoto with another feature that would allow you to "check for new photos" on the laptops and pull them into Aperture - but wishful thinking right now.
    So my while my 2 new iPads are awesome - they are basically useless for Photo's as they are synced to 2 laptops that use iPhoto, but all my Photos are in Aperture on the iMac.
    Thoughts anyone????
    Thanks

    What was the question?

  • Process flow between edit ,renderlistitem and show form in XML form builder

    Hi all ,
    i'm building from in xml from builder . i'm confused with the process between edit ,renderlist item and show froms .can any one please explain me the Process flow between those
    thanks,
    rajeev.

    Hi Rajeev!
    There is no process flow between those forms. They are seperate views of the same document, nothing more.
    The Edit form is always used if you create or edit a xml document based on the form.
    The renderlist item form is used if more than one XML document is shown, for example in a list.
    The show form ist used if the document should be displayed in full, eg by clicking on an XML document in a list.
    It is even possible to add more custom forms and display them. If you "preview" an XML document, you get the choice to display the document with all display forms available (default Renderlist item and Show). If you watch the URL when previewing a xml document you'll see an URL parameter selecting the form to show.
    Regards,

  • What are the differences between version 9 and X of the Reader?

    I have been running various releases of Version 9 of the Adobe Reader for a long time. I have noticed that when there is an update available for Version 9 and I click on the "more information" button on the update, it takes me to a web page where there is information on the latest levels of both Version 9 and Version X, but I cannot find any information on what the differences are between version 9 and X. I read the FAQ and found nothing on this, and I even searched this forum and was surprised that there were no topics on this question already.
    Can someone tell me the differences between the 2 versions. I am running Windows 7; is that important as to which version of Reader I should use?
