Upgrade path and cost

Hi,
We are looking at upgrading our Current Ciscoworks platform. It is
currently operating on a windows 2000 platform. The current configuration is as follows:
Product Name Version With Patch Level Installed Date
1. CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.6 23 Oct 2008, 16:03:33 PDT
2. Campus Manager 4.0.10 24 Oct 2008, 08:17:52 PDT
3. CiscoView 6.1.5 07 Aug 2007, 09:50:01 PDT
4. Device Fault Manager 2.0.10 24 Oct 2008, 09:16:15 PDT
5. Internetwork Performance Monitor 2.6.0 24 Jan 2006, 17:49:10 PST
6. Integration Utility 1.6.0 24 Jan 2006, 09:46:50 PST
7. Resource Manager Essentials 4.0.6 23 Oct 2008, 16:48:00 PDT
We would like to go to a 2008 server the discussion is to a virtual server on our network.
What are the pros and cons for this senerio and what is the best choice.
Currently we are tracking 200 + cisco devices.
Please suggest.

Just my opinion, but I believe you would find that this subject would be better answered on the Network Management forum (versus optical).
Good luck!

Upgrade path from CCP 9.3R2 to 9.3.2

Hi Team,
Can someone help on the process involved in upgrading a CCP9.3 R2 environment to 9.3.2.
Is the upgrade faily straight forward or do we have to do some customizations to make this happen??
I have a CCP 9.3R2 and CPO 2.2 in a DEV system, have lot of custom content in this environment.
I am upgrading CPO 2.2 to CPO 2.3 engine but not importing the content because I have custom content built on 2.2.
I am liking to know the process doing an upgrade for CCP
- is the inplace upgrade of CCP 9.3R2 to 9.3.2 valid???
OR
- building new CCP 9.3.2 and export / import content from 9.3 R2 to 9.3.2 valid??
Thanks
Satish

CCP upgrade should be straight forward. Refer to the CCP doc for upgrade paths and instructions. You would have to test the content you built in 9.3 R2 as I do not know all the inner parts difference in the two versions.

Upgrade Path for migrating Essbase 7.1 to Essbase 11.1.2.1??

Can any one tell me the upgrade path (and related documents) for migrating Essbase 7.1 to Essbase 11.1.2.1??

Thanks Nathan for your response.
Will the below Essbase Upgrade steps work (From version 7.1 to Version 11.1.2.1 directly)?
1. Install Essbase 11.1.2.1 in one server (new) and Shared Services in another server (new). Both the new servers with Win 2008 OS.
2.Login to EAS console in the new server. Open the outline version 7.1 and then migrate to version 11.1.2.1.
3. Copy the artifacts (such as Calc Scripts and Rule Files etc.) from the Old Essbase directory (Version 7.1) to the new Essbase directory (Version 11.1.2.1).
4. Extract data from the old system and import into the new system.
5. Export Essbase security from old system and import to the shared services of the new system. This might requires some manual interventions.
Or, do I have to upgarde from version 7.1 to 11.1.1.3 and then from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1?

Upgrade path from Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 to Adobe Media Server 5 Professional

Hi All,
We are currently using Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 for streaming video via flash. We want to upgrade this to Adobe Media Server 5 Professional.
I would like to understand the complete upgrade path and any specific pre-caution that I may need to take for existing videos.
Please direct me if you there already exists some support material or let me know if any specific details may be required.
Regards,
Amresh

FMS isn't reall suiatable for serving a website or CMS. I suppose you -could- use the included Apache installation to handle your HTTP traffic, but it would require installing a database, an application server, and whatever else you would need. You'd then need to maintain the installation yourself... FMS doesn't have any sort of package manager to handle updating Apache or anything else you might want to attach to it.
I think you'd be better off using a package manager like Plesk or Cpanel, and let it take care of your httpd server and supporting services. My advice is to just use FMS for purposes that specifically call for it.

Hi, I currently have Lightroom 5.6 for MAC and Adobe has launched Lightroom 6 - I am trying to understand if there is an upgrade path for 5.6 users and how much does it cost, if any or is a forklift upgrade i.e. new software all together. Thanks

Hi, I am a Lightroom user and currently have 5.6 version (DVD Version). The lightroom 6 version, for existing lightrrom users, is there an upgrade path or it is a new software entirely. In either cases, what costs are associated.
Thanks,
Raj

LR 6 is a new payfor upgrade, $80 in the US if you have the serial-number-licensed LR 5. If you're already using the CC version of LR+PS then it just comes along as a new app you can install.
It’ll run alongside your LR5 so you can try it out and see if it’s something you want.
The only trial is a LR-6-CC version that you can convert to a serial-number-licensed version if you buy a serial-number. I think the download in LR 5 when it notifies you of an upgrade is what you can use to try it, although I don’t have personal experience with that seeing as I have the CC version of LR+PS so the CC App provided the Install button for me.
The main issues people are having are for some system configurations performance is worse. Adobe rewrote it to use the GPU in the Develop module but some people’s video cards aren’t up to the task, and for some people even turning off the GPU, while speeding things up, doesn’t make it as fast as LR 5.
On my system it seems to work great.

I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) . Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) . Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

The cost of the Full Logic Pro 9 from the App Store is less than the cost of the discontinued Boxed Upgrade set for Logic Studio (if you could find one) ... so you might as well purchase the full Logic Pro 9 from the App store and be done.

Upgrading Unity 4.0.5 to version 8 and replacing the server. Need advice for most efficient upgrade path.

Hello,
I need to upgrade Unity 4.0.5 without failover to Unity 8, and we are replacing the server as well.
What would be the most efficient upgrade path for this?
Thanks!!

Brian,
The most efficient path is to use COBRAS. I have a number of posts explaining the overall process. At the highest-level, this allows you to build out the new Unity 8x environment, get it integrated with AD/Exchange, and then build out configurations that don't migrate over (there are a few which are highlighted in the COBRAS help). From there, you migrate data over from the 4x system. There may or may not be a few steps along the way but they are outlined in numerous posts I've contributed to regarding COBRAS and also in the COBRAS Help which is located at www.ciscounitytools.com.

ADF and WebCenter 11g libraries upgrade paths for WLS 12.1.3

We want to upgrade one of our WLS from 10.3.6 to 12.1.3.
(1) The application hosted on this instance uses the following ADF and WebCenter libraries (also deployed on the same WLS). Please confirm if these can be deployed in WLS12c without any changes or if we need to check on an upgrade path to ADF or Webcenter 12c components as well:
adf.oracle.businesseditor(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
adf.oracle.domain.webapp(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.dconfigbeans(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.desktopintegration(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.desktopintegration.model(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.management(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.model.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.view.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.webcenter.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.composer(11.1.1,0.1)
oracle.bi.jbips(11.1.1,0.1)

oracle.wsm.seedpolicies(11.1.1,11.1.1)
orai18n-adf(11,11.1.1.1.0)
(There are other libraries too but not anything related to ADF or Webcenter)
(2) We also have EM extension template in WLS 10.3.6. How can we upgrade this? Do we need to delete this and install FMW infra 12c with the additional DB schema and then try to extend the 12c domain?

Moved your thread to the WLS Communities since you are not asking if products are certified.
Thanks,
Lisa Fedynich

Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 3.0 to Final Cut Pro X?

Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 3.0 to Final Cut Pro X ?

The price of FCPX pretty much is the cost of the upgrade of FCPStudio, but a much better value (at least so far -- every update has been free.) However, it's only the single app so you might feel like you're not getting as much for your money. Don't be fooled. Most of Color and Soundtrack Pro are built into FCPX. FCPX will conform video automatically so Cinema Tools aren't really needed anymore. The Motion engine is part of FCPX, although I do recommend buying Motion 5 (an extra 50 bucks.) (Motion 4 seems to have died in Yosemite - you can't even launch it.)
I "upgraded" from Final Cut Studio 3... it took me about a week to decide to pack up all the old software for good. YMMV. However, if you use DVD Studio Pro... hang on to that.

Upgrade path for iMac 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo from OSX 10.5.8 to mountain lion

Hi,
I have an Apple iMac 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gbytes of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
It is currently running MAC OSX 10.5.8 --
I would like to know the proper upgrade path to the most current version of OSX which is
compatible with this hardware.
Thanks!

The starting point is to call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask to purchase a copy of Mac OS 10.6 "Snow Leopard." It will cost about US$20 plus shipping. When you receive it, install it and use Software update to get to OS10.6.8; the updates are free to that point.
Now you will have the App Store app in your Dock. You can use that to purchase Mac OS 10.8 "Mountain Lion," the lastest. According to the MacTracker database, your iMac--which is either a Mid-2007 or Early 2008--can support 10.8.
CAVEATS:
• your iMac is at or near the minimum level to suport 10.8; performance may not be stellar
• if you currently run any old PowerPC apps (like Office 2004), they will still work unders 10.6 but no higher. You will have to upgrade to newer versions to continue using them. Office 2008 runs on either PPC or the newer Intel Macs. Office 2011 runs only on Intel Macs.

Is there an upgrade path from Logic Pro 9 to Logic Pro X?

I convinced a friend to purchase Logic Pro 9, not knowing version X was about to be released 3 weeks later. Even though upgrade path always crosses my mind prior to a software purchase, I was not worried - this was Apple. Now it's looking like there's not a built-in upgrade path at all (as there IS with just about every other software company I have bought from). Is this for real? This friend has version 9, and I have version X. So this friend learned everything there is to know about version 9, then I bought version X not even knowing we were out of synch on versions. We were hoping to work on songwriting together, but paying $200 again is out of the question. I notice that the file save under version X has extension .logicx, so is it even possible to exchange files?

my friend with Logic Pro 9 can send files to me but they cannot accept files created with Logic Pro X.
Which is exactly what i said earlier....
You can open Logic Pro 9 projects in LPX but not the other way around.
Apple wouldn't even give me a refund on Logic Pro X (purchased just 3 days ago), which is useless to me now.
There are no refunds from the App Store... That is what you agreed to when you purchased a license for LPX.
Your choice is simply for your friend to update to Logic Pro X or use the audio stem process I outlined earlier (Not something i would recommend doing for any period of time)... or spend even more money on purchasing two copies of a different DAW... and taking the time to learn them and spending time converting over what your friend has already created... and hope your friend hasn't been using the internal plugins found only in Logic Pro... otherwise you have even more work to do...
The reality is, the sensible solution is simply to upgrade LP9 to LPX for $200... (and think of it as the upgrade price even though you can buy the full version for the same amount but that really doesn't matter does it?) Less outlay, less time lost and less hassle, but as always the choice is yours...
I have never, EVER, encountered a software company that treated customers that way.
Then you haven't been in the computer business that long......
Seriously though, you haven't been treated that badly...
You bought LPX at a price that is basically a steal.... and your friend bought LP9 at the same 'deal' of a price.. compared to what Logic Pro used to cost ($1000)
You can 'upgrade' from LP9 to LPX for $200 which is much cheaper than it used to cost to upgrade from , say LP8 to LP9... and the same price as it cost to upgrade to LP9 via the App Storeprior to the release of LPX
The alternatives at this stage would cost you much more money......time.. and hassle..
The only things that truly frustrating is the timing of your friend's purchase of LP9... For that he has my sympathies but it happens... Some people who bought Logic Pro 9 within a month of Logic Pro X being released were given refunds on the LP9 purchase if they bought LPX... Your friend just left it way too late.... Apple has since stopped such refunds.... and you didn't do the research you should have done before you jumped in and bought LPX... Unfortunate but sadly true.
Again, you and your friend have my sympathies for whatever they are worth... but at least the obvious solution is still cheap compared to what the alternatives could cost you now and in the past!

No upgrade path to FCP !?

Well I made a very costly assumption. I assumed that the reason for FCE is to get people hooked on the basics of the app and enticing them to eventually upgrade to the full verion of Final Cut and/or the studio. Imagine my suprise when I went search ing for the price, to learn there is NO upgrade path from Express to the Studio. Crossgrades or upgrades for everything else, BUT Final Cut express,... thats disapointing!
FYI I have purchased a Panasonic DVX100b and Final Cut Express DOES NOT support 24p editing. If you want to edit at 24P you can not use Final Cut Express.

24pa is designed for film out or delivery on DVD. It is not suitable for for delivery on tape or television delivery at standard 29.97. The pulldown used in 24pa looks very poor when you go back to 29.97 tape.
FCE will not create a 23.98 sequence. FCP does. If you want to create a film look for display on television, outputting to tape, you want to shoot 24p normal, editing in a 29.97 sequence.
