Thinking about migrating from BPC MS 7.0 to BPC NW 7.0 or 7.5

Has anyone gone through a migration from the MS 7.0 platform to the NW 7.0 platform?  If so, what were the biggest challenges that you came across?  Do you see any benefits from doing this?

Matt -
Migration to BPC NW is not straight forward and here are few areas of concern:-
1. Complete re-write of SSIS to SAP Process Chains
2. Re-visit (almost a re-write) your Script Logic
3. Fix Reprots/Input Schedules
4. Post Migration:
    a) Migration doesn't take time and goes well in weekend window (say 10-12 hrs..even less)
    b) Post migration validation process takes a long period (depending on how much functionality you have rolled-out in BPC MS)
5. Security, which is different in BPC
6. Case-sensitivy is another thing to consider (tool will take care of it)..still need to validate
Hope this gives you some idea.
Cheers!

  • Im Thinking About Migrating to QuickBooks Online, But My Files Too Big!

    Thinking about migrating from QuickBooks desktop to QuickBooks Online Edition? What if your file is too big? There is a way around this obstacle, but first, a little background. It used to be that if your QuickBooks file was bigger than 200MB, it wouldn’t migrate to QuickBooks Online…too big. You’d get an error when you… Continue reading →

    Well, a couple of thoughts:
    1. In CS3 if you have your photos converted to DNG format [and I think you can convert TIFFs] then ACR 4 that is included as a plug in when you installed CS3 [I hope I have the terminology right here, I do lots of things rote from previous experience and sometimes my directions are off] will open and DNG file [that I am sure of]. Then you can resize using the ACR controls. You can open multiple files and operate on them all at once.
    2. I think you can do this in CS3 directly as well since you can operate on multiple files there as well. The problem you will have is available ram. If you start opening 30 MB files [lots of them] you will bog down pretty fast.
    3. I think this discussion has got beyond the bounds of LR and I am willing to continue the discussion off line at [email protected]

    i have a mac and am thinking about upgrading from snowlepard to lion , is it a good idea and hard to adapt to

    This is my "About This Mac" ... it shows I have Intel i7 CPU.  If you are running SL, you at least have Intel, but would need at least Core2Duo an 2 GB (most people suggest 4 GB) RAM.
    If you want to run Lion, remember that the discussions in this forum from last summer when Lion first came out (and since) were highly charged at times.  Certain features that vanished or were added caused great heartache for some.  Others love Lion, though.  And some live with the changes waiting for any fixes they would desire.
    Any PPC (PowerPC) applications you depend upon will not work under Lion.  Use this page to see what applications will not run:  http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    AND
    Recall that you can clone your SL to an external disk to keep it safe.  Then you can "experiment with" the new OSX (Lion or ML) until you know it works for you while still having your old SL safe in case you need it.
    Good luck.

  • Data migration from OutlookSoft 4.2 version to BPC 7MS

    A quick search on this topic did not yield any results.  We're currently in the process of pilot testing our BPC 7MS installation. Our production system is OutlookSoft 4.2.
    We would like to keep the BPC data in synch with our production 4.2 system. Has anyone done this before? What is the most optimal approach?
    Is it as simple as dumping all the rows from the BPC FACT tables and repopulating the tables with the 4.2 FACT table rows? Or do I have to use the BPC/OutlookSoft data manager packages to export and import the data?

    Hi Hitesh,
    We have done migration activities. From the data perspective, it is not very difficult to manage. When you are doing the migration, you take the backup of the production, and then proceed with the migration activities. Keep testing your new BPC 7.0 environment. Once satisfied, and you want to finalize it, then you can take the final member list from the OS prod system and update in the BPC. So, no troubles, even if there are frequent changes in the metadata. You update that in BPC as a one time activity and then going forward, OS system will be scrapped.
    As already indicated, BPC doesnt allow you to store data at parent nodes, which was feasible in OS. So, you need to be little cautious about that. The SQL script shared is incomplete, You need to use
    Select * from tblfact<appname> where <dimensionID> not in (select <dimensionID> from mbr<dimensionname> where calc = 'N')
    For example, Select * from tblfactEPS where TIMEID not in (select timeid from mbrTIME where calc = 'N')
    The above statement needs to be used in all the fact, fac2, and factwb tables of all the applications, and all the dimensions. However, I would suggest that you first run the migration. During the step where you process the applications, you will get an error if you have any records in the parent node.
    There is a very detailed document published by me on migration activities on SDN. You can search for it. It will give you all the details.
    Hope this helps.

  • About migrating from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3 (page events)

    Hi forum,
    As authentication based on public key certificates only works under jdev 10.1.3.1, I'm upgrading my 10.1.2 application to that version. I'm following the Oracle document "Converting to the ADF Page Lifecycle from 10.1.2" (http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/jdeveloper/10.1.3?topic=adf_convertingfrom10_1_2_html) that it's a really great help. However, this document doesn't explain how to migrate page events. In UIX, a submitButton may have an "event" attribute that fires the method called onEventName in the DataPage class. In ADF Faces, I don't know how to do that. The document previously mentioned doesn't say anything about this topic. The solution I've tryed is the following:
    As document "API Changes from ADF UIX" (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/api-changes.html) explains, submitButton turns into commandButton and event attribute is replaced by an actionlistener. So, in my jspx page:
    <af:commandButton id="myButton" text="Search" actionListener="#{pageCode.listen}"/>
    <af:commandButton id="myOtherButton" text="All" actionListener="#{pageCode.listen}" />
    In faces-config.xml:
    <managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>pageCode</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>com.mycompany.web.struts.actions.MyPageController</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
    </managed-bean>
    In controller class, I replace DataActionContext by PageLifecycleContext in events parameters. Furthermore, a listen method is added:
    public class MyPageController extends PageController
    // I want to migrate this event
    public void onSearch (PageLifecycleContext ctx)
    // code of page event inherited from 10.1.2
    // I want to migrate this event
    public void onAll (PageLifecycleContext ctx)
    // code of page event inherited from 10.1.2
    // This is the method I've just added
    public void listen (ActionEvent e)
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
    PageLifecycleContext plc = (PageLifecycleContext)request.getAttribute("ADFLifecycleContext");
    String idButton = (String)e.getComponent().getAttributes().get("id");
    if (idButton.equals("myButton"))
    onSearch(plc);
    else if (idButton.equals("myOtherButton"))
    onAll(plc);
    I'd like to know if there is any other simplier way to do event migration from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3.
    Thanks in advance.
    Luis Serrano.

    If you change your view objects to use the new named bind variables in 10.1.3, then you can do what you were doing in prepareModel in a declarative way now using the invokeAction executable in your page definition to trigger the firing of an executeWithParams action.
    You can study example #76 on my blog to see an example of doing this:
    http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html#76
    If you want to do things programmatically still, which is fine of course, then you can reference section 10.5.4.3 "Using Custom ADF Page Lifecycle to Invoke an onPageLoad Backing Bean Method" in the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers on the ADF Learning Center at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html The key benefit of this approach is that if you have a backing bean for your page, it allows you to put your prepareModel code inside the backing bean in an onPageLoad() method so you don't end up with both a backing bean and a page controller class for that page.
    Of course, you can also still use a customized PageController class and override prepareModel() as you did before. All of these ways are viable.

  • Several questions about migrating from iPhoto to Aperture

    I'm currently a heavy iPhoto user and am looking into migrating to Aperture. Can anyone give me a sense of what I to expect if/when I make this switch?
    Here are several particular things I'm wondering about:
    1. iPhoto works great as a computerized photo album for casual browsing. (I can see a page of different events with mouse-over previews, plus I can hide poorer shots so that I can just view the highlights.) Will Aperture be a step back in this department? If so, is it possible to "share" my Aperture photos with iPhoto without keeping two parallel copies of everything?
    2. When I import an edited photo from iPhoto to Aperture, will the iPhoto "original" become the Aperture "original" and the iPhoto "modified" become the Aperture "modified? Is the same true if I export an edited photo from Aperture to iPhoto?
    3. Does Aperture have an analog for "hidden" photos? I currently mark my best shot from a series by hiding the rest. Will I lose this marking if I migrate to Aperture or is there a way to preserve it?
    4. I currently have a number of short video clips (taken with my point-and-shoot's video feature) mixed in with the iPhoto albums. (iPhoto really does let me keep everything organized in one place!) If I understand correctly, Aperture won't let me store these in my Aperture library alongside the still-photos of the same subjects. Is this correct? If so, how have other people handled this?
    5. Do EXIF tags get re-read upon import from iPhoto to Aperture? I've got a number of iPhoto files which I've retroactively geotagged with HoudahGeo. Will the tagging be lost (since iPhoto is not currently aware of the geotagging as the EXIF tags have not been re-read)... or will Aperture now recognize this metadata?
    6. If worst-comes-to-worst and I give up on Aperture after a few months, how painful will it be to un-migrate back to iPhoto? More importantly, what album metada (e.g. events, albums, ratings, tags, notes, dates, hidden-ness, links between original and modified versions of a photo, iWeb references, etc.) will be lost? In other words, if I were to import everything from iPhoto to Aperture, wipe my iPhoto library clean, and then export everything back from Aperture to iPhoto, what information will have been destroyed?
    Thanks in advance for any answers to this long list of questions!

    Here are several observations (read: warnings) in case anyone else is considering migrating a significant iPhoto library to Aperture...
    A) Pictures marked as "hidden" appear to be silently skipped over (along with video clips, as was expected) when importing an iPhoto library to Aperture. They do not appear in the relevant Aperture project regardless of the filtering options.
    B) Both iPhoto originals and modifieds are imported. The former are given the keyword "iPhoto original" and the latter are given the keyword "iPhoto modified." Each pair of photos is put into a single Aperture "stack." Both photos are given the same tags/ratings (so, for example, the un-rotated, uncropped, poorly balanced original will show up alongside the nice clean "modified" if you were to filter for 5-star images), and both files are given identical "version names" (equal to the "name field" in iPhoto). In most cases the original -- not the modified version -- was set as the stack's "pick" and displayed when the stack was collapsed. *Significantly, I could find no way of creating a view in Aperture that showed one copy of each picture, with the "iphoto modified" version displayed for photos that had been modified in iPhoto and the original version displayed for photos that had never been modified in iPhoto!* (This is, of course, the way they are shown in iPhoto.)
    C) My understanding of "stacks" is that they are designed to help organize multiple "tries" at the same shot (e.g., I want to make sure that nobody's eyes are closed in the group photo, so I press the shutter six times in quick succession -- I'm going to pick a "best" one will be mostly interested in that shot from then on). This is a fantastic idea! However things get confusing if you are already using stacks to track original and modified versions (as described above)... particularly if your stack should contain six pictures plus original versions of each. Plus, as I mentioned, the "original" version is usually the default "pick" in each stack.
    D) After import, "iPhoto original" versions of portrait photos appear un-rotated. Normally, my cameras (including a Nikon D80, an iPhone, and others) mark photos' orientations and they are automatically displayed in the correct orientation. Aperture appears to consider this auto-rotation an iPhoto edit and helpfully displays the "iPhoto original" always in landscape.
    E) Aperture may incorrectly import events whose names contain a "/" or a ".", so if your event names contain dates, rewrite them with "-"s before importing to Aperture.
    F) Aperture does have a rough mouse-over-the-icon-to-flip-through view, similar to the "events" pane in iPhoto... although you will lose your choice of which photo serves as the default icon for each event when you import your library from iPhoto, and you cannot "hide" photos from appearing in the flip-through as you can with iPhoto.
    G) Perhaps it's my inexperience with the program, but I could find no way to sort the project list by date (vs. alphabetically), nor could I find any way to make a correction to a single photo's date/time.
    As a bottom line, remember that Aperture is definitely not "iPhoto Plus." It lacks a number of iPhoto's features, but in exchange gives you a number of really slick tools aimed at streamlining a digital photography workflow.
    I'd also encourage people to think very carefully before moving a large, well-organized iPhoto library to Aperture. You may lose a fair amount of information, and the result will take a lot of work to "make pretty" again. It does look like a nice program, though. Are you ready to relegate all of your existing pictures to an iPhoto "pre-history" and start over with a blank -- but much fancier -- slate in Aperture?

  • IBook G3, thinking about upgrading from panther to tiger?

    Hello all
    This is my first apple computer that I've owned, it's my mom's hand me down after she got herself a spanking new macbook pro but it actually runs decently fine, iBook G3 500Mhz, 40gb HD, 640mb memory
    It currently runs a clean copy of panther 10.3.9, but with some effort, I think I could get my hands on tiger as well. However, before I do, would it be worth it to try to upgrade it on this laptop? I think panther runs fine, but I hear for each successive mac osx, it's been running faster, so in that case, I'd try to get it, but if I happen to find that it's about the same or worse, then maybe not worth the effort. I definitely like to be up to date with my software and such, so it would be nice if people with ibook G3's with specs similar to mine could tell me their experience going from panther to tiger.
    Thanks in advance

    Welcome To  Discussions daonesteven!
    Here are images of the Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, referred to by cornelius, that must be used.
    If you know what to look for, those install discs, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, etc.
    The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
    As the Tiger Media Exchange Program is no longer being offered, if the iBook doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.
    Info here Installing Tiger without a DVD drive.
    Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.10 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
    And additional RAM may speed the iBook up.
    Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

  • Question about migration from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2

    Hi,
    I've 10g 10.1.0.5 installed (by installing some patches).
    Now I need 10.2.
    Can I reach this with pathches (and which one(s)), or do I have to install from scratch an 10.2 ?
    Any reaction will be appreciated.

  • Doubt about migrating from exchange 5.5 to Java Enterprise Communication

    Hi all,
    I guest this is the proper forum to make this question if not sorry for the disturbs.
    Currently we're using exchange server 5.5 as mail server, now my boss want to migrate the mail server and is my moment to change to a real mail server "messaging Server".
    Main problem here is the migration process, I've looked for info in "docs.sun.com" and I've found several documentation about this migration process, but the best I've found is the document about SGMT toolkit.
    If this toolkit is free a big part of my problems will dissapear.
    Therefore here are my questions:
    * Is the SGMT toolkit free?, if not anyone knows about the cost?
    * Just in case SGMT is too expensive, anyone knows about a different way to migrate the exchange mails to Messaging Server? (any url or doc will be welcome)
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Kind Regards

    As far as I know, SGMT toolkit itself is free, but you must attend a training session to get it, and that training is not free.
    You have to contact your sun salesperson to get it.
    There are a variety of free IMAP tools available to migrate messages, if you either know or can change user passwords.
    If your users can be trusted, you can have them use IMAP to migrate their own mail.
    I don't know Exchange, at all, but if it can export mailboxes to unix format, Messaging Server can accept that with "imsimport".

  • Thinking about reverting  from 10.5.6 from 10.5.5

    I have had numerous issues since "upgrading" from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 and have seen no
    mention of a 10.5.7 update in the works from Apple. Some of the unresolved 10.5.6
    issues are:
    - Had to disable Sleep since turns into a coma and will not wake
    - Hangs on restarts requiring a 2nd restart 50% of the time.
    - Slow shut downs and slow startups compared to 10.5.5
    - Several Time Machine and permission related issues
    - Cannot mount the External Firewire Drive without a restart
    - Mouse freezes and erratic corded Mighty Mouse operation
    I have done the reset, zapped the pram, repaired permissions and even
    run AppleJack and several utilities. I am about ready to toss in the towel
    but I do not know the procedure to go from 10.5.6 to 10.5.5. I am
    concerned there may be no easy way to go back to 10.5.5 that worked.
    I wonder if I should limp along and wait for 10.5.7 or bite the bullet and
    try to revert to 10.5.5?
    Is there a procedure to revert to from 10.5.6 to 10.5.5?
    I wonder if others have reverted to 10.5.5 and did it really help?
    Does Apple have a 10.5.7 Combo update in beta test?

    I seriously doubt that any further update (10.5.7) will fix your

    I had no problems with 10.5.5 until I ran the Combo 10.5. 6 upgrade. I consider all
    of the issues directly related to the 10.5.6 update and have been hoping Apple will
    correct most of them with the next release. If not I may have to wait for the Snow
    Leopard
    Please re-read my response. I have an Intel iMac just like you and I'm NOT having any problems. If your issues were directly caused by the 10.5.6 update then why don't I (and most other Intel iMac owners) have the same issues? Your issues are NOT related to 10.5.6. Your issues are related to a update installation gone bad for any number of reasons, such as a corrupted download, a bad file system to start with, etc. You can hope all you want but Apple usually doesn't fix something that isn't broken to begin with and 10.5.6 is not broken. Get to work, take the excellent advice of several others here and fix your system. You need to either re-download and re-apply the 10.5.6 combo update or archive and install your system. Backup all important files and documents first, run Disk Utility to verify your boot drive and repair permissions, and then re-apply the 10.5.6 combo update. That's the easiest and least destructive route to try first. If that doesn't fix things then you will need to re-install the whole system. The best option, but also the most time consuming, is to erase and reformat your hard drive and then install from scratch. Then you will have to re-install your third party software and restore your documents from your backups. It ain't fun but those are your options. Waiting for another update isn't.

  • I'm thinking about converting from a PC to a Mac but....

    Okay so the laptop i have right now is a Toshiba Satellite PC. I do love it to death but I hate that there are a million and a half viruses for it >.< I'm getting into Graphic Design and computer gaming more. Right now I have a ton of PC software and I've heard that Mac can read almost all software. So I'm wondering if some of my PC only games will run on a Mac as long as it has Windows XP on it? The only reason I'm asking is because I'm about to buy a small bundle in Adobe Web Bundle..My possible future Mac will be farther along before I buy one. I'm a college student so I want to wait, save, and try to buy it myself. SO I guess my question is....would it be worth it for me since I have soooo much PC software..<br>

    well I don't hardcore game or anything but I do play online games (I.E. Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, Black and White)My newest passion has been making graphics...hence why i'm getting the adobe web bundle ...I love computers and my boyfriend is also into computers. He was going to college for computers but he's not sure if thats what he truely wants to do with his life. That's why I'm asking about switching over to a Mac. The Mac I want is the really nice black one...mmm...but since I just bought this computer last year it's going to be a very long while until i get my desktop Mac (saddness).

  • Question about migrating from iPhoto to Aperture 3

    I have been using the free trial of Aperture 3 after importing my iPhoto library with the option chosen of storing the files in their original location. I am now considering purchasing the program. My question is: Should I just carry on, or would it be better (or worse) to import the files into Aperture, placing them in a new Aperture library, then deleting my iPhoto library? I have not done any significant work in the trial so this is the time do redo it if it is preferable. If this question does not make sense then I would appreciate knowing that too. Many thanks!

    Andrew
    One of the ways that Aperture is much more powerful than iPhoto is in how it relates to the Master files.
    From your post I understand that you imported to Aperture leaving the Originals in iPhoto, right?
    There is no need to now move the original files into Aperture. You can leave them where they are, move them elsewhere or bring them over to Aperture. Whichever decision you make Aperture can work with and help you do do it.
    Check out 'Relocate Masters' in the Aperture Help for more.

  • Thinking about changing from Droid 2 and getting Droid X

    I got the droid 2 because I thought that I would want the slide out keyboard... but I never use it anymore.  I am wondering if I should return it and get the Droid X?  Other than the option of having a slideout keyboard is there anything is better about the Droid 2 compared to the X? 
    It seems like the larger screen, the better camera and the 16gig. memory makes the X better then the 2.  Am I missing something that you Droid X users hate about the phone and that I should reconsider just keeping my Droid 2?
    Troy

    I've had the Droid X since it came out in July and have enjoyed it roundly. I've had a few small bugs pop up here and there, but nothing major, and nothing a little research couldn't fix.
    The FroYo update threw a curve. But a factory reset got it back into shape. I've experienced no major issues since. I've found 2 small bugs in the phone dialer, and they can be worked around for the most part.
    I have discovered at least one app, WHERE, churns processor even though it's not active on screen. I've de-installed it pending a fix update the coders say is on the way. I've found the Astro file management program exceptional at tracking down rogue programs. It lists running processes and the processor percentages they use, and gives you the chance to kill any app outright.
    I suppose software updates go like that. Some are quite smooth, some a little rocky, and some are total disasters. This one was a bit rocky, but just a bit. Had to spend some time rebuilding my phone, but it's been worth it. No surprise: most OS upgrades play that way, especially in the Windows world. Clean it out, start fresh. Best bet. It's all well and good to thrash MotoRizon for the update snags; it keeps them awake.
    I purchased an extended battery and even with fairly heavy use (some texting and email, map checks, traffic updates, news reader updates, note taking, phone calls, and newspaper and ebook reading), I still have about 30-40% left at the end of the day.
    I like that it's thinner, and the larger screen is a huge bonus. Keyboard software is quite solid, with Swype preloaded. SwiftKey works with it, too, though there's at least one small bug still waiting to be squashed (force close on initial input method switch, then works fine). If you read e-books it's ideal, and videos look awesome. Screens loaded with keys (like RealCalc, a scientific calculator) are much easier to use.
    A colleague has the Droid 1, which I suppose is close enough in form factor to say it feels rather small in my mitts. My larger hands have some trouble reaching the top left screen with my right thumb, so I put what few widgets I use in the upper left corners, and cluster the app icons in the lower right. I can manage nearly all apps with that configuration.
