Siebel 7.8 -- 8 upgrade process and environments
Hi,
I'm new to Siebel Upgrade and I'm trying to figure out the upgrade process searching on the bookshelf and white papers (best practices).
I still can't comprehend the upgrade architecture and where the new Siebel sw (for ex. Siebel 8 in my case) has to be installed:
Let's suppose to have 3 starting environments: development (7.8), test/production replication (7.8) and production (7.8).
According to the bookshelf there's an initial phase (and this is valid for development environment too) called "upgrade infrastructure" in which they talk about "upgrading" the server, gateway, SWSE, etc. and about installing Siebel software.
For example at pag. 26 in Upgrade Guide version 8.1, during the development environment upgrade explanation, you can read:
"...Upgrade the Gateway Name Server, Siebel Servers, and Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE).
For information upgrading these Siebel Enterprise components, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
3 - Install the Siebel Database Server files on the Siebel Server you will use to perform the upgrade.
You only need to install the database server files for the database type that you are upgrading.
4 Install language packs for your currently deployed languages and any new languages...."
Now, starting with a 7.8 development environment, what do they mean: Do I need to install on the same development box (where the 7.8 already resides) also a new 8 development environment (server, gateway, etc.) in order to execute the development upgrade process?
And then, should I install another new 8 environment on the Production/Test machine, in order to perform the production/test environment?
Finally, should I use the test machine (once all is tested as the new production environment?
Probably I'm a bit confused. Can you help me?
Thank you,
Best Regards
Your upgrade process depends on how you want to carry out.
For a Inplace upgrade, whicih means you will be using the existing hardware where earlier version exists, you need to uninstall the earlier version install the new version and the kick of your siebel database upgrade.
The other process is where you obtain new hardware, in this case install new version of siebel software as per requirements and then start your siebel database upgrade. For this you may need to replicate your existing siebel database.
This process applies to all the environments.

IDSM-2 upgrade process questions.
Hello,
I started a new job and have been tasked with looking into what we can do with the IDSM-2 module we have in our 6509. The company has not been using the module so it hasn't been updating in a few years. I do not have a current license so I know I cannot install new signature updates, but what I would like to do is upgrade the software to version 7.0(5a)E4. Once I have it upgraded I would like to configure it in our environment and then see about getting a signature license.
I have a few questions regarding the upgrade process, and could use some assistance.
First the IDSM is currently running version 5.1(3)S256.0. From what I have read I don't believe I can go directly to 7.0(5a)E4 so my Planned Upgrade Path is: 5.1(3)S256.0 -> 5.1(8)E3 -> 7.0(5a)E4.
Am I able to upgrade this way or is there another recommended way that I should do this upgrade?
The files I have for this are below, will they be enough or am I missing any?
Do I apply them in the order listed?
Can I apply all of these files from the IDM GUI?
IPS-K9-5.1-8-E3.pkg
IPS-engine-E3-req-5.1-8.pkg <--- Is this included in the above file?
IPS-K9-r-1.1-a-5.1-8-E3.pkg
IPS-K9-7.0-5a-E4.pkg
IPS-K9-r-1.1-a-7.0-5a-E4.pkg
I plan on backing up my configuration first just in case, but should this process have any affect on the configuration?
I also saw that the upgrade will convert the configuration, so should I back it up a second time between the 5.1(8)E3 and 7.0(5a)E4 step?
Will there be any effect on network traffic or downtime during this process?
Is there any thing else I need to be aware of or that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance,
WillHi Will. Since you indicated that this sensor has not been in-use, it would be quickest/easiest to simply re-image it directly to the desired version (7.0(5a)E4). Additional benefits of doing this are that the sensor's filesystem will be created clean, OS/binaries cleanly installed, no potential config conversion issues, etc.
Step-by-step instructions for doing this can be found here.
And, the System Recovery Image file you will need ('IPS-IDSM2-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.0-5a-E4.bin.gz') can be downloaded here.
Will there be any effect on network traffic or downtime during this process?
That depends on whether the sensor is configured in Promiscuous Mode or Inline [VLAN Pair] Mode. You can determine this from the Catalyst config. If the sensor is installed in Inline [VLAN Pair] Mode, then certainly the re-image (and even just upgrade) could be traffic-impacting (if there is no alternative/backup path for traffic to take), as in both scenarios, the sensor is rebooted and not available for ~10 minutes (during which time, it would not be forwarding traffic (if it were installed Inline)). Additionally, since re-imaging results in a clean/default config, if the sensor were configured Inline, that portion of the config would have to be re-input post-reimage so that the sensor would know to forward traffic accordingly again. Details about the modes can be found here. -
how can i format my macbook 10.5.8 to snow leopord i am doing first time format how its process and do i need to formet or upgrade and i have a snow leopard DVD???
First, I'd advise you to make a backup. Time Machine is fine, but I recommend making a bootable backup with Carbon Copy Cloner if possible.
Then, insert the Snow Leopard DVD (it's a retail version, right? Not a grey disk meant for another machine?) and run the installer on the disk. Should be automatic from that point in. You don't need to reformat your drive.

After upgrading my iPhone, I lost all my contacts and they were replaced with my wife's contacts even though she upgraded after I did. I did a time machine backup before I started the upgrade process, how do I get that saved data back to my phone?
Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade iPhoto. Now when I try to open iPhoto I get the following message:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete .
Question is...how do i upgrade the photo library?You can't back up an open iPhoto...
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store -
After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process but cannot remember.
Tried to run firefox.exe -P but receive error message:
XML Parsing error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/profileSelection.xul
Line number 18, Column 1:
<dialog
^
Running on Windows XP SP3. No problem whatsoever before upgrading to 27. Sending this from Chrome as I cannot open Firefox at all.Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
Thank you very much again.
Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition. -
After iTunes upgrade, calendar and bookmarks no longer update during sync
After completing the most recent iTunes upgrade, my phone will complete a backup and seems to go through the sync process. However, the calendar items and bookmarks will not update with any changes that were applied in Outlook or Internet Explorer. Also, previously, I would receive a "syncing calendar" message (or something similar) during the process, and that no longer occurs.
same problem here after itunes 9.1 update. seems to be a common problem:

BPC 7.5 upgrade process - Doubts
Hi,
Once we had the confirmation and approval to upgrade the system from SP00 to SP03 (on .NET server components), we noticed that some functional configurations had been made in the meantime. This new scenario where new things had been done from a functional perspective makes me wonder if any of that configuration could be lost while or after upgrading the server component?
Also, after reading Note 1453797 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP03 NW Central Note, section "Before you install" to be more specific it says to uninstall any previous version of the .NET server and client components. Also Scott recommended me that as a best practice. This applies when the upgrade is being done from BPC 7.0 to BPC 7.5 for example or it also applies to my case (uprading BPC 7.5 system from SP00 to SP03)?
Thanks again for your help.
RegardsHi Ethan,
Thanks for the quick response.
Actually I'm new installing BO BPC and maybe I've not used the correct words to describe that configuration I've detected while trying to install SP03. What I've noticed is that an Initial Application Set has been created. Actually, this is the only thing I have found but I'm not sure if that imply any other configurations either in .NET server or ABAP server that could be lost after upgrading the server component from SP00 to SP03. The same question arises if I decide to uninstall the current installation to perform a fresh one using SP03 directly as its described in note 1453797.
In summary, is there any chance to lost the configuration made on a BPC system (.NET and ABAP servers or client) if any of the above upgrade process is performed?
Hope being clear enough this time thanks so much for your help.
Kind regards -
I clicked "yes" to upgrade iTunes and now it doesn't work. I get an error message stating my computer is missing MSVCR80 and then a message stating Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I've tried reloading iTunes twice. What can I do?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
