Upgrade from GW8 to 2014 on new server

Hi all
We are looking to upgrade/move our current GW 8 (SLES10SP3 in a vm enviroment) to GW2014 (SLES 11 NEW vms). I've read alot about the in-place upgrade (thanks Danita!) but not so much on moving and upgrading. Just looking on some feedback on what the best steps would be for our situation? Thanks in advance!

Hi squartec,
I did this upgrade a couple of months ago and had some issues. Here are some links to forum discussions I had.
https://forums.novell.com/showthread...-case-question
https://forums.novell.com/showthread...-after-upgrade
A few things I can offer:
1. Purchase The Caledonia Upgrade Guide for Groupwise 2014 - definitely worthwhile.
2. If you are running your Groupwise system on OES with NSS now, I would plan on migrating to a box running only SLES and using dbcopy with the -m switch just to make sure the case of your data is good to go just to simplify the environment.
3. If you use ext3 for your native linux filesystem pay attention to noatime and review of this: https://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7010924
4. Make sure your post office / domain connections are ip only
5. Make sure the monitor screens for all domains and post offices look completely healthy (no down or unknown connections). They should all be using SSL as well. I had an issue with the SSL configuration for my post office monitor that prevented me from accessing the monitor screen of the post office after the upgrade.
5. Configure LDAP to edirectory in Groupwise before you start the upgrade.
6. Although I still had an issue with this, make sure you change the domain and post office paths in console one just before you take them down for the final migration to the new server.
There are some other things that are outlined nicely in the Caledonia guide but those are some things to think about.

Upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server

Hi,
I have been looking on adobe site to check if I can have an upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. I have Indesign CS3 license but need to migrate to Indesign CS5 server. Does anybody know whether it is possible to buy upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. Or will I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Any help on this is appriciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have been using Indesign CS3 for generating automated reports. These reports are large in numbers. Limitation with Indesign CS3 is it only allows single instance of the application. And hence I am forced to generate these reports in sequence using multiple servers. Indesign CS5 server on the other hand seems to allow multiple instances running at the same time. This would mean I can generate multiple reports at the same time. This will reduce time to generate these reports and also limit the number of servers. This is the reason I want to migrate from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. However, I am not sure if I can get direct upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server or I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Do you have any idea on this, please suggest. Thanks in advance for your response.

I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad. Somehow all of my old deleted emails (3000 ) keep showing up on my new ipad in clusters of 50. How do I stop this from happening.

I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad. After synching my new ipad, all of my deleted emails (3000+) keep showing up on my new ipad in my mail section. How can I stop this?

Thanks for responding.
I followed that 'How-To' when I did the transfer and watched iTunes process the backup, it also showed the 'Last Backup' date correctly at the bottom of the iTunes Summary screen. I did a restore from backup to my new iPad and on checking the iPad 4 it seemed that the transfer process duly transferred my books, documents, apps etc but did not transfer my photos and videos (they are all clicked to be included in the sync).
I have now clicked on each video title in iTunes and it tells me that it cannot locate any of the videos!
It seems for some bizarre reason that the transfer process has transferred some of the content of my iPad 1 and deleted other content - I don't get it!
I also have the same content (videos and photos) on my iPhone 4 and have connected that to iTunes, whereby it immediately did a backup and sync, however I still get iTunes telling me that it cannot locate the videos ... it's as though the backup that was taken does not exist - or does 'backup' not mean 'backup'?.

What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server)

Hi
What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server) , please let me know the steps to what would be the backup procedures and upgrades.
Regards
Gaurav

I'd suggest reading this guide to make sure you have prepared your environment to support 10.x first. The link below also contains the upgrade path to 10.0(1).
One of the ways you can do this is:
1/ Apply refresh upgrade cop file on all servers in cluster.
2/ Upgrade the cluster to 8.6(2). Take a backup of the cluster.
3/ Build a cluster of 8.6(2) servers on VMs, and assign them the same hostnames and IP address as the hardware cluster. (You may need to keep these on a separate network until switching off the hardware machines)
4/ Restore the backup taken from the hardware cluster on to the VM cluster.
5/ Upgrade VM cluster to 10.0(1).

SCOM 2012 upgrade to R2 - Move SRS to new server

I am currently working on an upgrade to our SCOM 2012 R1 environment to SCOM 2012 R2. As part of this I would like to move our SRS database from running SQL 2008 Enterprise to SQL 2012 Standard to save some licensing costs. The initial installation
used Enterprise Edition when it is not needed for our configuration.
Most of the procedures I have found for this involve also moving the OperationsManagerDW database and they seem to assume that the Data Warehouse DB and SRS/SCOM Reporting Roles are on the same server. In my case i have 3 SQL instances:
1 - OperationsManager (SQL 2008 Enterprise)
2 - OperationsManagerDw (SQL 2008 Enterprise)
3- SRS Report Server (SQL 2008 Enterprise)
As part of the upgrade I am looking to perform an inplace upgrade from SQL 2008 Enterprise to SQL 2012 Enterprise for the OperationsManager and OperationsManagerDW database servers. For the SRS database I would like to move that to a SQL Standard 2012
Server. I was hoping that I could perform this by trying to do the following steps prior to upgrade to R2:
1 - Stand up new SQL 2008 Standard Edition SRS box
2 - Uninstall Operations Reporting Role from current SRS Report Server running SQL 2008 Enterprise
3 - Install Operation Reporting Server Role for SCOM onto new SQL 2008 Standard Server
4 - Start SCOM upgrade -
5 - Upgrade in place all SQL 2008 instances in place to SQL 2012 Enterprise (OperationsManager and OperationsManagerDW) and Standard (SRS)
6 - Perform standard application update steps for R2.
Has anyone performed this downgrade for the SQL edition for SCOM before? In looking at the instructions from Technet (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457588.aspx)
to perform this it appears to me that they are moving both the SRS and DataWarehouse databases and not just the SRS server like i am trying to.
This would leave my SCOM 2012 environment running R2 with the following DB configuration:
1 - OperationsManager (SQL 2012 Enterprise)
2 - OperationsManagerDw (SQL 2012 Enterprise)
3- SRS Report Server (SQL 2012 Standard)
Any help is appreciated. This is being done to help save $ for enterprise SQL licenses.
..Jon
Jon Kaloz

Hi, your solution will work but you can simplify the process as following
1. Uninstall Operations Reporting Role from current SRS Report Server running SQL 2008 Enterprise and SQL server itself.
2. Start SCOM upgrade
3. Upgrade SQL 2008 Instances to 2012
4. Stand up new SQL 2012 Standard for SRS (most possibly on the server where old SQL 2008 Enterprise with SSRS was installed ) and install SCOM Reporting feature on it

Upgrading from RoboEngine 3.1 to RoboHelp Server 9

Old-time user, new ID. My company recently upgraded from RoboHelp 4 to RoboHelp 9. (Yes, we're slow about some things.) I was recently asked to upgrade our WebHelp Pro output, which had been posted to an old RoboEngine 3.1 server. Of course, the new RoboHelp 9 output does not play well with RE 3.1, and I got a "RoboHelp Engine server is not available" message when I attempted to upgrade the output. After doing a little research, I discovered that this lack of backward compatibility began with RoboHelp 7.
Fortunately, I made backups of my old WebHelp Pro output, and our users can still access the Help files. But I've been tasked with researching the upgrade path from our old version to the new one. So here's what I'd like to know:
Is buying RoboHelp Server 9 sufficient?
Is the process of publishing the Help files to the server reasonably similar?
The server that hosts RE 3.1 is a Windows 2000 machine. Will I be able to run RH Server 9 on it?
Will I need to provide new URLs for the Help links inside our Internet-based software after the upgrade, or will the old links, which use the format http://machine.org/roboapi.asp?project=ProjectName, still work?
Thanks in advance for your help. Nice to see that Rick, Colum, and Peter are still firing the big guns around here. I feel strangely reassured, as if everything will work out just fine
Chet

Welcome back Chet. I nearly typed the obligatory "Welcome to the RH forums" greeting when I saw your single post but that doesn't seem right here
The issue here is that the underlying RoboHelp and RoboHelp Server code was completely rewritten in Java. Personally I'm surprised you managed to get RH9 output running on RE 3.1 at all. It just goes to show what a error tolerant application it is.
You'd be far better off upgrading both the client and the server applications. I think you'll be surprised at just how easy RHServer is to install and use these days. No more fiddling with permissions. As for publishing, you still have a WebHelp Pro SSL in RH9. It does have some additional options and the UI of the RH Server application will have changed also. There is a lot of new functionality. You may find that the URL for the help is different though. There is an excellent guide that is worth reading called the RoboHelp Server Reviewers Guide. You can find it here and it will answer a lot of your questions.
One thing you may want to consider is migrating the data from RE3.1 to RHServer 9. The new app has a migration tool that can migrate from an earlier release. However I am not sure if it could cope with data from RE3.1. You could try, and it is doesn't get the data into the new database with SQL.

Upgrade from 10.6.8 to Mavericks server: issue with authenticated bind

Hello, I have tried upgrading a 10.6.8 server to 3.1.2 Mavericks server and found I can't bind 10.9.x clients.
I need to keep using authenticated bind to manage clients in Workgroup Manager
I have exported the 10.6.8 OD database and imported into a clean installation of Mavericks 3.1.2 server and everything went fine that far.
I then noticed that authenticated bind in Mavericks now requires SSL and the certiicate.
Once I have imported the 10.6.8 OD database into the new server (same name and IP), only the selfsigned certificate coming from the 10.6.8 server is being imported and OD service remains "unprotected" without any certificate assigned (it seems I can't change this)
The problem is I can successfully bind 10.8.x clients against the 10.9 server while this seems not to be possible with 10.9.x clients when using authenticated bind.
If I create a new OD domain, there's an intemediate certificate assigned by default and I can bind 10.9.x clients (authenticated bind).
Am I missing something obvious?
Many thanks for your help
Cheers
Carlo

Hello and many thanks to all for your hints
@Strontium90 I am aware I should move to profiles and I am working towards this goal, but I had mixed results as far as reliability here.
Anyway, I took my time to perform the upgrade once again from scratch and it's defenatly something related to certificates
The only way to (authenticated) bind a 10.9 test client is when I create a new OD domain and the server uses the intemediate certificate that it's automatically created and assigned to OD service
Using the sefl-signed certificate (the existing one - that is imported along with the OD DB - or a new one assigne to it) does not work with the imported DB.
This is the error I get when I try to bind with dsconfigldap
iMac-di-admin:~ admin$ sudo /usr/sbin/dsconfigldap -vsemgx -a my.ODserver.FQDN.com
Password:
dsconfigldap verbose mode
Using suggested computer ID <imac-di-admin>

Enforce packet encryption policy if server supports it.
Enforce packet signing policy if server supports it.

Would you like to continue (y/n)? y

Mite, I addI just upgrade from Mavericks to Yoseed a new user to my computer , however it doesn't show up at startup. What's going on?

I just upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, I added a new user to my computer however it does not show up on start up. What can I do to change this?

If you are in System Preferences > Users & Groups, click Login Items at the bottom of the list of users in the left side bar, and do you have the box checked to show the users?

Upgrading from CS to CS4 on new iMac

I currently run Creative Suite Premium (CS) on a G5 iMac. I will soon be buying a new iMac running Snow Leopard and would like to upgrade to CS4 Design Standard, I know there is an upgrade for this.
My question is: How do I install the CS4 upgrade onto the new imac which will have no earlier version of Creative Suite. Also is it necessary to upgrade to CS4 on my old G5.

CS4 will work on both computers.
To install CS4 on the New computer just enter the serial number of CS when prompted. Be sure to buy the upgrade from CS. It seems Snow Leopard has a few problems you may need to wait for a few updates from Apple before all your software runs correctly on the new computer. If it were me I would get a model that was still running 10.5.x and pay the $25 for Snow leopard.

Upgrading from 7 to 8 on new machine

I currently have a G4 Powerbook (Panther 10.3.9) with Logic Pro 7, version 7.1.1.
I am going to buy a new Mac Pro; I would like to upgrade to Logic Pro 8.
Does Logic Pro 7 need to be previously installed on this system in order for me to
install the Logic Pro 8 upgrade?

Are you sure, Sampleconstruct?
I was puzzled too when I upgraded from LE7 to Logic Studio 8, since the installer didn't ask me for my LE7 serial. I just needed to type in the LS8 serial number. And I did buy the upgrade version, not the full package...
So I guess it MUST somehow verify if a previous version had been installed.
Has anyone tried to install the upgrade on a newly installed mac already?
I would be really interested...

I own CS6, upgraded from CS5.5 and need new computer. Do I need to reinstall all CS s'ware I own?

I own CS6 (upgraded from CS5.5) and need a new computer. Will I need to reinstall every other CS package I own (in order) to get CS6 to work, or is there a quicker way to reinstall CS6?

There is a quicker way....Start with the CS6 installation directly, when prompted to enter the serial number for previous version, enter it and you should be good to go.

How can I easiest migrate my settings when upgrading from CC - CC 2014

Have upgraded several times before (CS5 -> CS6 for example) where settings such as workspace, keyboard shortcuts, actions etc. were easily migrated.
Now, with Creative Cloud, I would assume an even more seamless upgrade. I was a bit disappointed by the whole concept of installing a *new* app ("Photoshop CC 2014", alongside "Photoshop CC"). But even more disappointed when I saw none of my app settings were migrated.
Is this a "feature" or me doing something wrong?
(I would hope the latter, but afraid this is a feature after I talked to a guy on support chat)

There was a lot of discussion on this one. Adobe wrote sync of settings only work between dot releases, see: Photoshop Help | Sync settings using Adobe Creative Cloud
Considerations: Migration and Sync Settings
Sync Settings synchronizes settings between installations of the same major version of Photoshop. For example, settings are synchronized between a Photoshop CC version 15.0 installation and a Photoshop CC version 15.1 installation.
Sync Settings does not synchronize settings across installations of different Photoshop major versions. For example, Photoshop CC version 14.1 settings are not synchronized with an installation of the 2014 release of Photoshop CC (15.0).
Migrate settings from one major version to another
You can migrate presets/settings from one major version of Photoshop to another in one of the following two ways:
When you first launch the newer version of Photoshop, you are prompted to migrate the presets/settings. Choose Yes.
At any point in time, select Edit > Presets > Migrate Presets to migrate settings.
For more information, see Preset migration.
Note:
The main preference file is not migrated as part of presets migration.
This was discussed for example by other users in the topic: Syncing settings from CC to CC2014

How will upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5 Server work?

I need to order a new XServe to run as a Gateway Server now but am unsure when 10.5 comes out what the upgrade process will be from 10.4.
Will it be a simple upgrade, saving all of the settings? Or will it be a clean install, resulting in me having to reconfigure everything?
XServer Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Since 10.5 isn't yet available, no one can say for sure.
However, historically speaking, most upgrdes have been fairly seamless, with the most problems coming from configuration tweaks that you've made outside of Apple's tools.
For example, if you've customized your base apache or postfix configuration by hand those changes my not transpire, so a backup is always a good idea.
