Upgrade, migrating oracle application. Which is better way?

We have oracle application 11.5.5 run on Window NT 4 Server.
We want to upgrade Window NT4 to Window 2000 advanced Server or Window 2003 advanced Server.
We also want to upgrade oracle application 11.5.5 to 11.5.9 or 11.5.10.
Since we have a new server, we also want to deploy new production on the new box.
How should we go about to accomplish this task?
Is there any good documentation out there we can use to accomplish this task?
Thank.

hi
On windows
you have to do a upgrade on the server which is having 11.5.4 apply autoconfig enabled patch on it. Ones the autoconfig is enabled then you can start category wise approach and start from cate gory 1 ... in cate gory 2 you have to run rapid install(on new fresh server which is having windows2003) with the option upgrade file system ...thenin thord cate gory you have to upgrade the DB on old server then traanfer the dbf file to the location created by rapid install in category 2 and create the control file and complete the remaining step of category 3 and cateogry 4 ...

MIgrating Oracle Applications 11i from solaris 9 to Solaris 10

Hi All,
I want to migrate the two node oracle applications (11.5.10.2) from solaris 9 to soalris 10.
I want to know any technical doucument or metalink tech note regarding this migration.current OS
OS = Sun OS 5.9, 64 bit
Target OS
OS = Sun OS 5.10, 64bit
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I understand that the OP want to migrate from one server to another, and he is not going to upgrade the OS on the same machine.
If an OS upgrade will be implemented, then there is no need to use Rapid Clone or backup/restore the files, instead refer to this thread.

Which is better way to place images ?

I'm making huge catalog with a lot of products.
Which way is the proper way or better way to do?
Make individual product image paste on photoshop and bring in to InDesign and lay images (re-sizing smaller, not bigger) and text out.
or
Make multiple product images paste on one photoshop document which size to catalog size already, then place into InDesign.
My thought is, if you don't make images bigger in InDesign, it's easier to make individual images and bring to InDesign and playing around for layout.

placing many images can go fast, select all (or a part) images you like to import, before placing the first image, hold down COMMAND-SHIFT key, now you can draw a grid for the images, when you are drawing that grid, you can use the UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT keys to increase or decrease the number of collums and/or rows. That way you can place images at high speed.

Which is better way?

Hi
I have designed a UI in which the panel contains a tabbedPane and in each tabbedPane there are panels.While running the application i am getting the frame in some size that i have set in code.I am manually maximising it.Is there any way in which i can load the frame in maximum size initially.Also i want one tip,whether a application looks good in restored state or maximised state??
thanks for your reply

See Window#setExtendedState. And for which one looks better - that's a matter of taste, really.

Upgrade/Migrate Planning application from 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3

I have installed 11.1.2.3 on Window 2008 R2 servers. Our old environment is on 11.1.1.1 is still up and running on different server(windows 2003). I have successfully completed the following:
1.     All Hyperion products (HSS,BIPLUS,CALC MGR,EPMA,Planning,FDME installed successfully and everything working fine.
2.     I am able migrate the all FR reports successfully(Export/Import method) and Yet to test the reports after application migration.
3.     I created Planning apps in the new system which is similar to old application , I can open the Planning Application Administrator via WorkSpace URL.
My question :1) Can i migrate Planning repository DB schema from SQL server 2005 to New application schema on SQL server 2008.
                            (There is any update required before and all the repository table of 11.1.2.3 similar to 11.1.1.1
                   2) How can i migrate the Business rules to Calc manager(.i.e 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3)
                   3)How can i migrate the FDM application (.i.e 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3)
Please let me know if you need any further information.

First of all 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.3 direct migration is not supported so if you have issue upgrading planning then unfortunately that may be the reason.
SQL Server 2005 to 2008 should be ok but if you are concerned then upgrade the sql server 2005 version to 11.1.2.3 then use LCM to change database versions.
Business Rules read the following support doc - "Hyperion Business Rules (HBR) to Calculation Manager Migration White Paper (Doc ID 1528121.1)"
FDM - Upgrade utility.

Which is better way of creating BSP iView

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know how I can create BSP iView.
Approach 1:
One of creating BSP iView is as follows:
For this we have to say Create iView --> Select iView Template --> Select SAP BSP iView
Set following properties:
System: somesystem
Business Server Page (BSP) Application: ztest
Start Page: ztest.htm
Now we can call the iView in Page etc.
Approach 2:
Other way of creating BSP iView is that we can create URL for BPS application.
For this we should login into SAP BW. Go to transaction code bps_wb and then open the Web Interface. Then we can go to Edit --> Display in external browser.
Some link will appear. The link will look like:
http://mycompany:1080/sap(bD1lbiZjPTEwMCZkPW1pbiZpPTEmcz1TSUQlM2FBTk9OJTNhYmF1YzMzZzBfT0JTXzAwJTNhaXg3Sk5aVTV4RDVFWWtKQmFwWGMxTGlSRElJWGphc2x5aEQwYW9jRy1BVFQ=)/bc/bsp/sap/ztest/ztest.htm?bps-design_messages=X
We can create URL iView. We can directly provide this link in the URL iView.
I want to know which approach is correct and why? In second apprach we are not providing the details like
System: somesystem
Business Server Page (BSP) Application: ztest
Start Page: ztest.htm
From the link, iView finds out the entire detail.
Pls help me.
Thanks

Hardware Migration of Oracle Application

We have recently migrated oracle applications from one server to another server. Following steps were done.
1. Install operating system (Windows 2000 and related patch on new server)
2. Install oracle application on new server
3. Stop all services on old and new server
4. copy all folders from old server to new server
5. restart services on new sevrer
Everything is working fine, if the number of users are less than 5.
When 5th user logged on, the application starts creating problem. On server, application error mesage appears that shows "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on ok to terminate application". This starts from application ping.exe and then tnsping80.exe and then fndwrr.exe etc
After above erros shown on the server, concurrent manager ends up all request with error. The log of error shows that permission is denied to create file in temp folder of prodcomm.
Any help to sort out above problem and to save the data (entered by users on new server) is required.
Thanks

Thanks Fadi and Hussian for your valuable comments. I understand that this is not standard practice. In fact, we tried this logic after reviewing the whole process of cloning exercise. First we tried all this on test instance and it was working fine. After testing the method this is applied on PROD.
Anyway, as advised by Husain, I reviewed alert_PROD.log file there is an inidication of error wrote in prod_ora_5316.trc and prod_ora_5660.trc files.

Suggetions required for migrating Oracle forms 4.5 to 10G

Hi,
We are migrating an application, which is built using oracle forms 4.5 to oracle 10G forms. I have following queries:
1. We are trying to automate some steps in this process using following approach:
a. Migrating forms 4.5 to 6i using command line option
b. Migrating forms 6i to 10G using migration assistant
c. Using forms API for setting some properties automatically like Coordinate system, fonts etc.
But Still there are several steps that need to be taken care manually. Esp. GUI correction related. Can any body suggest any thing additional to this or any better approach.
2. What is the best way of approaching this migration? Are there standard tools available and are they realy useful ( or still lot's to be done manually).
3. Any other useful tip.
Regards
Arpan

Set Desname for PDF using Oracle Applications

We are running Oracle Applications 11i, 8i database on a Unix box and use windows 2000, internet explorer, acrobat 6.0 to run, and view the reports.
I just finished redesigning a Oracle report to output to PDF instead of printing on a preprinted form.
The user has requested that the output file (Report) be saved to a specific directory on a server that is on the windows platform.
The report is being run from the concurrent manager inside of Oracle Applications, which seems to be over writing my desname that is specified in my report (rdf). Our current workaround is that the user opens the file in acrobat and save it to the desired directory, which they have to set manually for each session.
Is there a way to run a report on UNIX and output the report to a windows directory?
Thanks in advance...

There is a better workaround than opening an saving on desktop...I have never tried this but have an idea...that would work 100%.
The standard configuration of apps 11i is that the output file is placed in $APPLCSF/out and its on the Unix Box...but if u have apps running on NT environemnt then just share the file system of $APPLCSF with the desktop...Pretty simple....
If apps is running on Unix then u need to install software like Samba on Unix so that the desktop will be able to share the file system of unix on desktop....
Try it out...
Best of luck

Oracle Application Server 10g/Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g

Hi folks, This question related to migration/upgrade of Oracle Application Server infrastructure.
I see that the Oracle has come up with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g. Is it the next release of Oracle Application Server 10g. I have the following questions. Appreciate if any one can provide answers to the following questions. Please correct me if my understanding of these oracle products is not right! Thanks
1. What is the future of Oracle Application Server?
2. Is it Oracle Fusion Middleware(OFM) 11g is the upgrade path if one need
to upgrade?
3. Is it expected that expected that customers need(if require) to move to OFM 11g?
4. Does OFM 10g comes with Oracle Application Server? If not what does
it comes with?
5. If it does not, what about customers having applications built using oracle forms and reports? Does OFG 11g
support Oracle forms and reports?
I understand that OFM 10g comes with Oracle web logic server!
Thanks in advance.
movva

To run Forms and Reports in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g you have to use the distribution "Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer" in the FMW 11g software pack.
The structure of what we used to call "the application server" has changed a bit however, in the following way:
- In 11g you need to install the Javaserver WebLogic software (version 10.3.3 for the current Forms 11g version 11.1.1.3) first.
In 10g the installation of the Javaserver (OC4J) was part of the App server install.
Note that you just have to install the software, the configuration script for creating a Forms app server instance creates the WebLogic domain (comparable with the OC4J instance) for you.
- In 11g the Fusion Middleware software installation is separate from the creation of an application server instance.
This is more convenient and comparable to Oracle database and Weblogic installation.
- The Fusion Middleware Configuration script installs two parts of the product: 1. A WebLogic Domain. 2. A Fusion Middleware instance.
The first contains everything related to Java, such as the servlet configuration file (formsweb.cfg), while the latter contains everything that has less to do with the Javaserver
- No more Infrastructure server
The Infrastructure server does not exist anymore. If you want to use Single Sign On with Forms/Reports 11g you can install Identity Management 10.1.4.3 (or use Identity Management 11g, and configure separately the 10.1.4.3 Single Sign On) or keep your old 10g Infrastructure installation.
During installation you just have to specify you want to use OID and SSO and it configures out of the box.
Under normal circumstances the same licenses apply to 10g and 11g (as long as you do not use WebLogic for other purposes).

Upgrade, migrating oracle application. Which is better way?
