Upgrade from BO DI 6.5 to DI XI 3.0 : information please
Hello,
I received the following one-sentence mail today:
"could you recommend an architecture for BODI XI 3.0 so that we could have an idea of the required hardware/software ?"
Translation: My client is considering upgrading from BODI Version 6.5.1.4 to BODI XI 3.0
I have done developments at the client, so I know the dataflows. Most of the flows are simple extract-transform-load flows, with nothing much special happening in the transform part. Most flows select data from Oracle 9i and/or flat files (csv), then do a simple calculation (sum/average/...) and load the data into an Oracle 9i Database. In some dataflows a stored procedure (Oracle) is called.
Most probably they will ask me to do the upgrade to BODI XI. Now, I've never worked with BODI XI 3.0 before, so i'd be grateful if somebody could help me out with the following questions:
- what is the required hardware?
What hardware do you recommend for the servers? What is the minimum processor speed, what is the recommended /required RAM?
To be honest, I have no idea what servers the client has right now. I don't know either if these servers will be re-used or replaced by new servers.
- what is the required software?
What changes? What remains? What needs to upgraded? What gets dropped? Which components remain the same? Is there e.g. still a Repository Manager and a Server Manager in DI XI 3.0?
- what are the bugs and issues I can expect?
Most probably, the BO/SAP Sales Rep will answer me that everything will go smooooooth...
Now, what do you technical guys say? What are the known issues? What is the way to follow? I don't expect it to be "Click, click, upgrade done".
Any way... I'm catching up on XI 3.0, so maybe I'll find the answers somewhere else. Nevertheless, all replies are kindly welcomed.
Thanks in advance!
Daniel
The previous post mentioned the supported platforms document, this should solve your questions around hardware and software requirements.
Also important to check is this document on behavior changes in different DI versions. From 6.5 to XI 3.0 is a big step, so there are some changes along the way to you should now about and could have an impact in existing jobs. Some things I can think of : changes in NULL/varchar behavior & changes in memory management. The former might require some changes in existing jobs ("= NULL" is not supported anymore, needs to be changed in "IS NULL"). The later should not impact existing jobs, but provides new functionality (pageable cache) to boost up memory intensive transforms.
Here's the document : [Migration Considerations PDF|http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_ds_migration_considerations_en.pdf]
If you browse other parts of this [documentation website|http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/product_guides/default.asp], you can also check out the Release Summary documents for different release. The Release Summary gives an overview of what's new in a release.

Database upgrade from 7.5 to 7.6.0.12 - AK Catalog information not found:00
I just upgraded a database to 7.6.0.12. The catalog of the upgraded database is corrupt for one user. When I try to view the triggers defined for the user I get this message :
General error;-9205 POS(1) System error: AK Catalog information not found:0000000000000000007200
SELECT * FROM "DOMAIN"."TRIGGERS"
All other entities, tables, sequences, procs appear to be valid. Another user's entities are all present and correct, including triggers.
How can I repair the catalog to allow me to recreate the missing triggers?Hi again Joe,
with the help of the vtrace you provided, we found out the TABID of the involved table: 0x000000000000051E
We now need to find out which table it is:
SELECT SCHEMANAME, TABLENAME FROM TABLES WHERE TABLEID = x'000000000000051E'
After finding out the relevant table, there are two options:
1. delete the triggers for this table
or
2. copy the table in a new table, delete the old table and rename the new table to the old table:
CREATE TABLE <schema>.<new_table> AS SELECT * FROM <schema>.<old_table>
DROP TABLE <schema>.<old_table>
RENAME TABLE <schema>.<new_table> TO <schema>.<old_table>
This all (point 1 AND 2) should preferably be done within a transaction, so it can be rollbacked, should anything go wrong.
Please note that in point 2 that all given privileges, defined views and indexes no longer apply or exist, these have to be regiven/recreated.
It might thus be a good idea to check if there are views defined using the table <schema>.<old_table> BEFORE following the steps of point 2.

N100 SODIMM upgrade from 1GB to 2GB ... not working as expected, help please
I have recently bought some RAM modules for my N100 3000 series laptop which was originally bought around 1.5 years ago. The original modules that came with the laptop were 512MB x2. I am upgrading to 1GB x2 modules.
I ordered them from Ebuyer.com and they were Kingston modules, who declare on their website and on the packaging that the modules are compatible with the laptop. After installation and attempting various configurations, the overall outcome is that slot A accepts new RAM (both modules work in this slot), slot B doesn't accept new RAM (but does accept the original RAM), and all RAM modules work without errors.
Would you know what either I am doing wrong when installing the new RAM, or if there is a configuration setup I need to do to be able to install the new RAM in the BIOS?
Thank you in advance for any advice given.Now you're talking about the internal bits that make Excel
behave the way it does. There is an entire section in MSDN (
http://msdn.microsoft.com)
devoted to Office XML, which is what you'd have to use to serve up
a fully-functioning XLS file.
You can find an example on this site. The Google Groups

Am upgrading from OS 10.5.8 to Lion... Help please!
Greetings,
I'm in the process of upgrading my MacBook Pro from 10.5.8 to Lion. I've installed the Leopard OS 10.6 - but I see I need to have 10.6.6 to get any further to download Lion.
Where do I find the 10.6.6???
Not finding it anywhere.
Thanks!!Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. This will update you to 10.6.8.
You can also just open Software Update and let it do the updating for you. Select Software Update from the Apple menu in the screen menubar. -
Out place upgrade from 11.1.1.4 to 11.1.2.2. Please suggest.
We are planning to do an out place upgrade. We are on 11.1.1.4 right now. And the plan we have come up with is, is to install 11.1.1.4 on new server, perform lcm migartion, and then upgrade 11.1.1.4 to 11.1.2.2. Is there anything wrong or is there a better approach to the one we are taking? Please suggest.
Thanks,
Tej.You can upgrade directly from 11.1.1.4 to 11.1.2.2 and they don't have to be installed on the same server.
Everything is in the documentation - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_1112200/launch.html
If still is not clear then it may be worth getting someone in to discuss your upgrade options.
Cheers

LDAP synch not supported during OIM upgrade from 9.x to 11g
Hi Experts,
Following line is mentioned in OIM upgrade guide for 9.x to 11g (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/upgrade.1111/e10129/upgrade_oim.htm)
“LDAP Sync is not supported when you upgrade from Oracle Identity Management 9.1 to Oracle Identity Management 11g”
Please help me in understanding the above line.
I have a pretty simple setup of OIM (version 9.1.0.2) with AD and Exchange connected. I guess I don't have any impact of above line.
LDAP synch is required when we integrate oracle identity manager with oracle access manager.
Please suggest.
Thanks
M SYes LDAP Sync has most of the features when you have OIM and OAM integrated with each other. You can go ahead with upgrade if LDAP Sync is not part of your requirement.

Is it really possible to upgrade from a Treo 650 to a Treo 750?
I am not a very happy customer at the moment, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I upgraded from my old Palm Tungsten to a Zire, then to a Cingular Treo 650, combining three devices into one. I have since discovered that the Treo 650 seems to have a faulty transmission mode, as I can rarely be clearly understood by whomever I call. Am on the second (or third, I have lost track) and continue to have the same problem. I get five bars of reception but can't be understood on the other end. A bit of a problem when one is trying to call 911. Am constantly told I am "breaking up". The repair shop says it "Can't duplicate the problem". OK, then I do not want to give up all the info I have stored in the fool thing, and the 750 seems to have a different system, so I thought I would try that. All the stuff I could find seemed to indicate it wouldn't be a problem to upgrade. When the 750 arrived, I tried to install the software from the CD on my Windows XP computer. No dice. Setup encounters an error and closes. Can't even look at the files, because setup tries to run any time I access the CD. From any drive. Gave it to my girlfiend to check on her computer, and the CD seemed to run fine. Other CDs work just fine on my computer. Must be some kind of conflict, but what? Tried calling the AT&T number that suggested they could help with setup, and was first connected to the business center, they routed me to the laptop center, who routed me to the network center, who said they would have to bring in the Palm customer service and connected me to a Mac guy that dumped me back to a menu that took me to someone for whom English is a second language with whom I was trying to communicate over a very poor satellite connection. They made no sense anyway. telling me first that I couldn't have two desktops running (wrong, my girlfriend has my old Zire and the CD worked fine) and then insisting that the serial number on my device had to start with a P, when it clearly does not have any alpha characters in it. Gave up on that route of assistance. Managed to get the new ActiveSync installed from my girlfriends computer over the network. Great. Now let's get my 650 synced with Outlook (which I have not used at home) and see if we can move on. Nope. First I have to update Outlook 2000 from the old Win98 to my current XP. Find the old CD, and square that away. OK, now sync to Outlook. Nope. The sync program gives an error, saying it will only sync with Outlook 98, 2000, and XP(2002). Good grief. I have Outlook 2000, and the software apparently does not recognize it. If the Palm doesn't work, there is no reason for me to keep this phone, and I am very close to returning it and abandoning the Palm entirely when I upgrade to something that works, although I dread re-entering all that information.

This question was solved.
View Solution.Thanks for the feedback. Today I installed an Enterprise version of Office 2007 I purchased a while back, but had not yet installed. Microsoft presented a few challenges, but they were quickly resolved. I then downloaded the appropriate conduit from Palm, and synced the 650 with the handheld overwriting the computer. Then used Active Destop to sync the 750. Satisfied I had moved as much info as possible, I called AT&T and had them move the phone number to the new Treo.
Bonus! When the guy at AT&T called me on the new phone to verify it, he said it sounded better than my landline.
Sorry for the streaming paragraph. When it is late I tend to write like I think.

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?
Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

Can't print from IE 8 after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7
My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) uses two HP printers: Color LaserJet CP3525x (at work) and Deskjet 6940 (at home). Both printers are accessed across a local network.
I recently upgraded from Vista Enterprise to Windows 7 Enterprise.
Everything still prints fine (from Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.), except for IE 8! When I try to print a web page from IE, it prints only the page header, and otherwise the sheet is empty. This symptom occurs on both printers. (And of course this worked fine before the upgrade.)
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

If anyone else is having this problem, I found the solution on another forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/920588e5-ccc4-4e24-83d6-606...).
Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:
1. If it doesn't already exist, create a directory named "Low" in your directory "C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\".
2. From a command prompt, issue this command: ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

Fields in read-only mode for BP transaction in upgrade from 4.72 to ECC6.0
Hello,
This is regarding the query for BP transaction in upgrade from 4.72 to ECC 6.0.
While creating BP / Changing BP system is disabling the fields in compnay code & sales area option. There is a SAP not provided 907860; and specified that the proplem is because of the delta customizing.
All the customization settings are as per the note. And the Synchronization Control is also activated. But still the fields are disabled only.
I have checked the field settings also in Cross-Application-Components & Logistic-Genral.
But these are not working for compnay code & sales area data.
please let me know if anyone has faced this type of problem / found any solution on this.
Best Regards,
ShubhadaSAP IMG -> Cross Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization  Synchronization Control -> Synchronization Control -> Activate Synchronization options
This setting allows you to activate synchronization of BP with R/3. Not maintaining the values may result in certain fields being read-only in BP.
Suggested Values:
Source Object: BP | Target Object: CUSTOMER | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: BP | Target Object: VENDOR | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: CUSTOMER | Target Object: BP | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: VENDOR | Target Object: BP | Active Indicator : X
Have you set all of the above settings??
