Upgrade from 8i to 9i using Database Upgrade Assistant

Hi
I installed 9i on a server that already has an 8i database. I am trying to use the upgrade assistant in 9i to convert the database to 9i. After selecting the 8i db, I get dialog saying 'Getting databse information. Please wait..' then error 'ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error'. I tried setting the 9i listener to a different port (1522) and restart listener, no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanx

You need to try the database forum, whose ID i think is 145
All Oracle database upgrade stuff will be handled there

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012? I have not found the option to do so.

My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...). I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource. Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800. Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people. In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza. Not a bad deal. If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months. For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced. I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner. Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications. I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision. If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers. But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time. What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade. NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month. These Germans tend to hold grudges.

Using Database Upgrade Assistant

I have one db installation with several (3) instances on.
Do I have to upgrade each instance or it is enough with one?
Best regards
Peråke

You have one ORACLE_HOME and 3 instances using it?
Then You have to for first upgrade ORACLE_HOME and then all 3 databases.
Only be a little bit more specific what kind of upgrade it is? Sometimes it's wiser to create a new ORACLE_HOME, upgrade it, then switch instances one by one to it and upgrade databases. Smaller downtime and in case of any failure much easier to rollback.

Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard using Backup

I am upgrading from Tiger to Leopard and created a backup using Backup. Everything I've read so far online talks about using SuperDuper or TimeMachine for backing up. Should I use something else for my backup or will my backup work? Should I do a complete wipe or just the simple upgrade?

See this from SuperDuper

Upgrading from Aperture 2 to Aperture 3: Upgrade issues

1) I installed Aperture 3 from my upgrade disk. I am getting a message that there isn't enough memory in my Aperture library... I have 13.45 gb of space on my Macbook Pro's hard drive.
2) I have a lot of images, Aperture projects located outside of Apeture in folder and a few Aperture libraries on an external hard drive that I want to be able to use with my Aperture 3, how can I be sure that I will be able to access & use all the information on my external hard drive with Aperture 3
3) I connected my external hard drive to my Macbook pro and was going to update Aperture 2 to 3 but first wanted to backup my computer but now Time Machine is telling me that my backup failed but I can't figure out why. I have 222gb available on my external hard drive.
4) Now I can't access my Aperture library without completing the upgrade, but I can't complete the upgrade because Im getting the error message "Insufficient Space There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library Volume" huh?
Anyone have a clue what is going on??

You did not mention what OS version you are running. There is a technical paper somewhere in the Apple site (?) about removing the Aperture library from Time Machine backups. I know this could be outdated, but are you aware of this?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1878
THe issue of running Aperture while restoring still applies.
To open Aperture 3 and start with a fresh library you can do the following:
Start Aperture holding down the Option key. This will allow you to create a new library. Create this library on your external drive (navigate in the window to the location desired on your external) and make sure you name it something different than the original Aperture library name. Now Aperture 3 will be installed on your computer.
Open Aperture 3 with this new Library. Now you can merge the libraries OR perhaps switch from the current library to your original version.
Make sure you have a full backup of your library before proceeding.

NE2 upgrade disappointing. Can I use NE2 upgrade/discount again to exchange for new device?

I just used my New Every Two ("NE2") to upgrade from a Blackberry to the Droid Incredible 2. But frankly, the more I use the Droid, I more I don't like it. It's especially annoying when the battery drains after only an hour on standby. I need reliability, and this isn't it. Plus, it's loaded with apps I have no use for and can't get rid of. It's been a hell of a disappointment honestly since I so wanted to give the Droid a chance over the iPhone (reason being is that I already own several Apple devices including the iPod Touch (4th gen.) and the iPad 2 (WiFi + 3G).
I'd like to get the iPhone 4 instead. So here's my question: If I return my Droid within the 14 days (tomorrow is the 14th day, btw), will I get my NE2 opportunity back in order to apply it to the iPhone 4? I am not a new customer. I've been a loyal one for years, but somehow I think that wouldn't help in this matter.

Make SURE you return it within the 14 day window. You will have to pay a $35 restocking fee so don't be surprised when they charge you for that. But yes, this can be done easily. Just take it back to the store you got it at.

CSM upgrade from standard 25 to professional 50 Upgrade

I have the license for upgrading CSM standard 25 to professional 50(CSMSTPR-U-4.0-K9). Would like to know the upgrade procedure. Can I directly upgrade from the standard to professional with only the license upgrade or do i need to do a full/fresh instalaltion of Professional. Pls. help.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Rajeesh,
You only need to install your professional license on your standard setup and you should be good to go, no need to start from scratch.

"Upgrading" from leopard to tiger.. Migration Assistant cant see 10.5

10.5 runs like a pig on my 12" G4. I re-installed 10.4 onto a new volume and it runs just like it used to. For comparison I had also tried a clean 10.5 and it ran just as slow.
So anyway, what I wanted to do was use the migration assistant to pull my data from 10.5 over to 10.4 but when I point to the 10.5 volume MA doesnt see anything. I suspect maybe this is by design and such a "downgrade" isnt supported.
Has anyone tried this?
My other option is to create a backup of the 10.5 volume then just try an archive+install of 10.4 over the top.
Lets hope 10.6 runs better!

WEll, it;s not that easy Darrin,
Leopard puts things in different places than Tiger did.
Hopefully one of the people that recently posted on how to do it will drop in, because I can't find it!
suspect maybe this is by design and such a "downgrade" isnt supported.
Nope... how would they know what Leopard would do with files when they made Tiger?
My other option is to create a backup of the 10.5 volume then just try an archive+install of 10.4 over the top.
Lots of stuff you have now won't be in the right places.

EBS upgrade from 11i to R12 using Maintenance Wizard question

I have installed Maintenance Wizard in development envrionment. I picked module to upgrade 11i to R12. When I am defining the node it not only picked up 11i nodes but required me to configure R12 nodes. So Do I have to to create upgrade file system(for R12) and then configured R12 nodes in Define nodes? My configuration is in In configuration at this time as I did not configured R12 nodes.
Please help me resolve this issue.

My question is which database oracle_home we have to consider to upgrade R12? and What about another one oracle_home?
When you run Rapid Install, provide the details of the already upgraded/installed 11.2.0.3 ORACLE_HOME.
For 11gR1 ORACLE_HOME which is installed by Rapid Install, please see (How to upgrade Oracle E-Business Suite from 11i to 12.1.1 and keep the existing 10g Database? (Doc ID 1345020.1)).

Upgrading from FMS_4_5_0_r297 to FMS_4_5_1_r484 using ffmpeg will kill recording append ability

I would like to warn anyone using ffmpeg that upgrading to FMS_4_5_1_r484 will kill your append recording.
As discussed in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4280166 even fmle encoders are having problems appending recordings with absolute time enabled.
Reseting the recording with this query "adbe-live-event=croaporter&adbe-record-mode=record" or a change in your main.asc might be a solution for some but this will cause a disruption for clients connected to the stream.
For myself and I'm sure many others this is not a solution it seems like a bug. We need a solution that does not require a client to reset their browser page or client application which means overall disruptions in the viewer experience.
I can vouch that in FMS_4_5_0_r297 appending to a recording was done seemlessly on a 24/7 stream (and i have over 30 streams running). Sometimes for some reason an encoder will attempt to republish or will require a flush (forced restart) and with FMS_4_5_1_r484 this is not possible. Yes you can start a new recording but what happened to appending the recording, it was working.
I have tried to insert into the Event.xml a maxrestartage and removed absolute time code from Application but it will not work.
I dont know if FFmpeg has absolute time code implemented in the librtmp libraries to emulate fmle time synchronisation but even fmle users have this problem so I believe that this should be fixed in the next upgrade but for now I suggest all others who want to use a more efficient encoder such as ffmpeg as compared to fmle to be very careful when upgrading.
I did notice some new hls buffering issues that have arised from this new upgrade as well which 4.5.0 didnt have.
I am even willing to pay for support to solve this problem because 4.5.1 seems to have better monitoring in the administration console. But for now I am downgrading to FMS_4_5_0_r297 because it works.
Regards
Bashir

So did i just loose all my pictures (no i have not backed them up, that i know of anyway)

Repeat after me...
I will not upgrade in the middle of a project
I will not upgrade in the middle of a project
I will not upgrade in the middle of a project
Especially as big an upgrade as a whole new OS!!
O.K. for starters, have you done the routine maintenance, repairing permissions, etc..?
Have you installed the Pro Application support specifically for Tiger?
Let's start there...

Sony/Tektronic Data Generator DG2020, driver to be upgraded from v3.1 to use in v6.0

I only have labview V6.0 and I have an tektronic instrument, it is a Data Generator, model DG2020. Its driver is for Labview V3.1 and encountered such problem V3.1 and V6.0 are not compatible. I asked support from Tektronix and they advise me that from V3.1, it is recommended to upgrade to V4.0 then after to V6.0, not from V3.1 straight to V6.0. However, I do not have V4.0. Can u pls help me how to resolve this? Thanks.

Hi Dora,
First check with your local NI Field rep. They may be willing to help you out, free of charge.
Otherwise,locate an NI Select Integrator or an Alliance Member in your area (NI web site will help with this).
If they have been around long enough, they should be able to round-up some of their old disks and set up a system to do what you need. Warning, this will not be easy or quick, so you may have to pay for the time, BUT, it will generally be cheaper than trying to re-write it yourself from scratch.
