Siebel 8.1.1.8 upgrade from 8.1.1.0 - host with multiple components

Hi all,
I'm running some tests of an update from Siebel SIA 8.1.1.0 to 8.1.1.8 in preparation for a Production upgrade. Our entire estate is Windows based, currently running Windows Server 2008. The update is not working as I expected.
On one machine I have the Gateway and a Siebel Server (Object Manager). On another machine, I have a Siebel Server (eDocument).
- Upgrading the single server (eDocument) using the new OUI installer seems to work fine
- Upgrading the host with Gateway AND Siebel Server (Object Manager) seems to fail - where a DLL exists in both Gateway AND Server (i.e. sssaadmn.dll), only the Gateway DLL gets updated
The result is that the Siebel Server (Object Manager) on the same host as the Gateway fails to start, with 'cannot load xxx.dll' appearing throughout the server and component logs. The single server (eDocument) seems to start fine with all components showing as 'Running' and visible through srvrmgr.
Has anyone performed an update with the 8.1.1.8 OUI based installers and had a similar problem? Any idea how to resolve?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Oli

Hi all,
Looks like OUI can't cope with files with the Windows 'read only' attribute set. It will simply skip them altogether, without error. :(
Anyway, unsetting the read only attribute across the SBA81 folder, prior to running the upgrade, seems to have resolved the problem for us.
Regards,
Oli

Upgrade from 11i to r12 application servers with Discoverer 10g

Hello, one and all.
I have recently upgraded from 11i to r12 Oracle financial application server, after much patching and testing we finally came to the Discoverer application server.
Most workbooks open fine, however it seems that some of them (about 3%) reference columns that no longer exist in r12, for example, SET_Of_BOOKS_ID has become LEDGER_ID in r12 on the gl.gl_je_lines table.
This causes any workbook that references that business area to return an error 'Database Error - ORA-00904: " O974567"."SET_OF_BOOKS_ID": invalid identifier.
Well and good; I think that that's caused by the EUL not being refreshed after the upgrade, so I go to the Discoverer administrator and refresh the general ledger Business area. This unfortunately renames several objects inside the business area, including SET_OF_BOOKS_ID to LEDGER_ID, so instead of that error, we now get several 'Missing item or condition' errors until the workbook will not open at all with an 'Item dependency "" not found in the EUL.' error. This i assume is because the workbooks still reference the old items.
I'm guessing that several Business areas and objects therein have been renamed since nearly none of the workbooks will open now. I have restored the EUL from a backup (imported all the *.eex files) however I was wondering if anyone had faced this issue.
I apologize as I have very little understanding of Discoverer and this might be a simple fix, but I'm at this point willing to try anything for help.
Thanks!

Hi Srini
Srini,
To understand your above reply,
You say that
1) If they are based on 11i Discoverer EUL and Folders then export EUL And WorkBooks and Import them
into R12 Discoverer Environment..Refresh the EUL..So ORACLE will take care of the changes like 11i SOB vs R12 Ledegrs??Pl open a SR with Support on what to do with seeded EUL as part of this upgrade - I suspect you will need to import the R12 EUL as part of this upgrade.
>
2) If they are Custom SQL reports from 11i then just RECREATE them from SCRATCH..Correct - after you verify that they are changed to reflect the R12 data model

Am I right?
thanks

SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

Hi,
We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario? I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
We are running
- ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
- XI(PI) Java & ABAP
- SRM (Java & ABAP)
- Portal (Java only)
- PLM (Java & ABAP)
- BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
Thank You
Felicity

Hello,
You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
Are you clear on this one ?
Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
Thanks

Very slow encoding after upgrade from 5.03 to 5.5 with MXO2 mini

Hi all.
After upgrading from CS5.03 to 5.5 my encoding now takes 5 times as long. A 2 minute HD Video file would take 2 minutes, and still does on the PC I haven't upgraded (identical almost) but now with CS5.5 it takes almost 11 minutes.
Some explanation....
I create HD MJPEG files on a PC with Blackmagic Decklink.
I transfer these files to an HPz800 which used to run CS5.03 with Matrox Utils 5.1.1.37 and an MXO2 Mini with Max. (Nvidia Quadro fx4800 and 12GB of RAM)
On a Blackmagic timeline HD 1080i MJPEG with filters of Auto Color, Fast Color Corrector and Gamma correction a 2 minute timeline would encode in 2 minutes give or take a couple of seconds.
Now with CS5.5 and Mtx 5.5 an identical file takes 11 minutes to encode to Microsoft avi - Matrox 1920 x 1080i - 25fps.
If I remove the filters (which I need to be able to use) it will come down to 2 minutes as it used to be.....so it seems to be the filters are now slowing things down when they never used to. I have never rendered before exporting. Ever. So this time I tried rendering first and it brought the 11 minutes down to 7 minutes but when taking into account the 4 minutes rendering time I am no better off.
I have updated CS5.5 to CS 5.5.1 and MTX Utils to 5.5 and then 5.5.1 and it makes no difference. Still 11 minutes to decode 2 minutes with three filters, which is exactly what I have always been doing but now it doesn't work....
Can anybody help? or make a suggestion as to why using filters in 5.5 now multiplies the encode time by 5 when it never used to. Everything else bar Matrox Utils on this machine is as it was before the upgrade to 5.5 and as I say my older machine is still 5.03 it can do it all in 2 minutes even with the filters intact.
So have I really spent a small fortune upgrading to make my output 5 times slower. Not happy......

To go further, every single encode that I have done is slower than it was before with CS5.01 or 5.03.
This is odd because going from Blackmagic to any other codec doesn't necessarily need the Matrox box or Matrox utils
Blackmagic HD or SD to
Matrox HD
QT HD MP4
QT SD DV25
DV AVI SD
Mpeg2 - DVD
Every single encode is slow by 2x to 6x.
Why should Blackmagic HD to QT MOV MP4 take twice as long as it used to...... having said that The speeds I am seeing now are what it was like before I attached the box in the first place, whether a Matrox codec was involved or not.... It is acting like a blocked funnel. when it used to be a lovely wide and clear funnel.
Anyway Matrox have reproduced the problem and are investigating, so hopefully there will be an answer soon....

Upgraded from CS 6 to CC 2014 with CS4 Extension

I recently upgraded from Adobe CS6 to CC 2014. I had a custom DW CS4 extension installed and working in CS6. When I converted the mxp file to a zxp file, and then attempted to install the zxp file to CC 2014, I received an error message stating "THe extension can not be installed, it requires Dreamweaver version CS4 or greater." I obviously have CS4 or greater. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks
Mark

Each extension limits which versions of the host application can run it. Dreamweaver CC 2014 might fall outside the version range of the extension.
You have to repackage the extension using the new "Adobe Exchange Packager" and make sure the product version in the mxi encompass version 14.
Example:
<products>
<product version="14.0" primary="true" name="Dreamweaver"/>
</products>
In this, I assume you are in control of the source files of the extension. If not, this is an issue for the author.

Upgrading from ID CS6 to ID CC with templates

Hi everyone,
I am going to be upgrading from InDesign CS6 to InDesign CC soon. I have a lot of templates that I use and was hoping there will be no issues with them once I make the upgrade. Has anyone had any issues with their templates after going from CS6 to CC? Thanks!

There is no reason to uninstall CS5 unless you have no reason to keep it. Below is a link to a page that shows the various subscription plans available. There is one that is a special rate for Photoshop and Lightroom. I do not think CS5 qualifies you for a further discount on that package, but there is a special rate for another package if you are a CS owner.

No sound after Windows 10 free upgrade from WIN7 on G71-340US laptop with IDT CODEC.

After free upgrade from WIN7 to WIN10 my laptop no longer has any sound (with internal or external speakers). I have tried uninstalling IDT driver and allowing Windows 10 to reinstall the driver through scan for HW changes - still no sound. I would appreciate any guidance or fixes for this problem. Thank you.

I am happy to report I now have sound on my G71-340US laptop. After further trial and error troubleshooting I found that there is an app called IDT PC Audio (aka IDT HD Sound) installed on my laptop by HP (OEM) I think. While I'm not exactly sure what this app's function is it appears it is related to activating IDT HD Codec drivers functionality. Somehow I decided to look in Task Manager - Startup and saw this IDT PC Audio listed. I clicked on disable and then a minute later clicked on enable. After I did that, as simple as it appears, I now was able to hear sound both on internal and external speakers. This is the first time I heard any sound since upgrading to WIN10. I have checked it several times by re-booting my laptop and each and every time I now have sound. I'll continue to test this through the week and see if it continues to be OK. Meanwhile, I thought I would share this potential fix (or workaround) with all concerned. Perhaps others will find this useful and provide me your feedback. Keeping my fingers crossed! PS. BTW, if anyone out there knows what IDT PC Audio is by all means share your knowledge. I am curious why this app doesn't appear more often in the forum posts and how it may relate to the WIN10 upgrade. Sorry, but I don't recall what prompted me to look at Task Manager - Startup but I'm glad I did. It's great to hear sound again!

Upgrade from 8 to 8.1 fails with error code 0x80070004

My repeated attempts to upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 to prepare for the upgrade to Windows 10 fails with error code 0x80070004. Is anyone familiar with this problem and aware of a solution?

Firefox 12 won't start after upgrade from 3.6 in Windows XP with SP3

When I start up firefox after an upgrade to 12 on my Windows XP with SP3 I see the firefox.exe process in Window's Task Manager but it never starts i.e. I never see a browser page. If I try to start it again I get an error message that it is already running.
I have rebooted and even uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox but no browser appears.
Is it possible for my to download the version I had (3.6) and I can just live with that or is there a work-around to get Firefox 12 to work on my desktop?
Thanks

Well I was able to run the profile creator one time (firefox.exe -p) and I created a profile with it but still not able to start firefox. So I tried to start it again after rebooting. It starts a process which I can see in Task Manager but now I don't get either the Profile Manager dialog box or FF.
I also tried to start the profile manager with this command: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p.
I terminated the firefox process and tried again but get the same results.
BTW, this command: %APPDATA%\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES shows a profile called m6woxz30.default, which is not the name I choice for my profile the one time I got the Profile Manager to run.
BTW, thanks for your help and ideas.

Reset PDF bookmarks when saving as PDF from structured FM - Book 11.0 with fm components (*.book).

Hi,
I've read the forum discussions/solutions on setting PDF bookmarks, but I'm afraid the various solutions appear to only work if you are consistently working in .fm book files, not if your source files are in structured .fm format.
For example, I have to constantly reset the bookmark settings in FrameMaker when I follow our PDF process of saving the structured FM files via the File -> Save Ditamap As -> Book 11.0 with fm components (*.book) route. I can set the bookmarks in the first file of the book, and/or set them using the Format -> Document -> PDF Setup menu options. But an hour later, if I discover I need to make a change in our source material (.ditamap/.xml) and create a new PDF again, I must make the same exact bookmark settings at the .fm level in this process (i.e. creating new .fm files from the .ditamap/xml files overwrites the previous .fm files, requiring bookmark setting, again).
I think the only possible solution for a short-cut in this situation is to write a script to set those bookmarks each time we go from .xml to .fm. Does anyone see another way around this?
Thanks!
Diana

Hi Diana...
You're right that only FM binary files can store PDF setup information (in theory XML files could store this data, but that's not the way it's currently set up). In order to have this data available in files generated from XML, you'll need to set it up in the structure application template(s). You also need to make sure that all files in the book use the same tag names. The following topic was written for DITA-FMx users, but the concept should apply to regular FM-DITA as well ..

I hope that helps.

Upgrade from win 7 home to pro with xp mode

i wish to buy a laptop i see on the best buy web site which comes with win 7 home premium. i need win 7 pro with xp mode. can i order it with the win 7 pro with xp mode preinstalled by them or do i have to buy it as is and then bring it in to their store and have them do the upgrade?
thx

You'll either have to choose a different model which has Windows 7 professional on it from the manufacturer or buy the one with Home Premium and do an Anytime Upgrade to Professional via a PKC (SKU 1303126)
