Upgrade Service pack

Hi.
We currently use NW 6.5 SP6
We have been advised to upgrade to SP8
We use the following products
(IDM 3.0.1, Zenworks 7, Edirectory 8.7.3)
Has anyone recently upgraded to Sp7 or Sp8 and encountered issues especially around the versions of IDM etc that we are using?
Do we need to upgrade incrementally i.e. to SP7 then SP8?
Does anyone have any documentation on what is changed when the SP is applied? Have looked on they Novell site and seems that a lot of content has been removed?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Simon.

Latest version of IDM suitable for install on NetWare is 3.5.1.

No you can go directly from SP6 to SP8 as SP8 includes all the fixes
from SP7.

Readme for SP8 is @
http://www.novell.com/documentation/...ta/readme.html
and TID 7002362 lists the issues fixed in SP8.

I suggest you read the SP8 Wiki page @

Upgrade Service Pack (pros and cons)

Hi,
We need to upgrade the PI 7.0 from SP16 to SP17, could you please guide with the positive & negative aspects of it.
Regards
Prathibha

Hi,
Upgrading Service pack in PI environment is a common task,
The new service pack always offers some new benefits like (SAP solves some bugs in current version SP), so chance of getting bug/error will be less. Some times it offers new features.
Negatives some times java mapping programs, if you used any external jar files, it may create some problems (few times).

Upgrading Service Pack in SAP BI 7.0

Hi All,
We are using BI 7.0. and need to upgrade the Service pack from SP 14 to SP 16.
Can anyone please let me know
1. The Impact on the system we would be facing with this upgrade.
2. The things that need to be taken care - pre or post upgradation. Any check list or Test
Plan to take care after the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
-Maddy

Hi,
On uograding the service pack, unit testing needs to be perfromed for all the objects.
For e.g.
1. Perform the loads for all the infoproviders as well as master data.
2. Execute all queries, web templates etc....
3. Check all workbooks.
4. check if roll up and change run are executing fine.
Hope this helps!!!

Upgrade Service Pack 4.0 - MS SQL 2000

Hi
We are at MS SQL 2000 SP3.0. We are planning to upgrade the SP to level 4.0. I need to know the steps involves, any issue that need to aware off.
Thanks
Yuva

Hello Yuva,
It is a good idea to move to SP4. SAP note 417089 thoroughly discusses the installation of SQL Server 2000 Service Packs in an SAP system. Please read it carefully. SAP note 62988 contains quite a bit of detail on various SQL Server Service Packs and hot fixes.
All in all, the application of SP4 is easy and straightforward.

Portal problem in navigation after upgrade Service Pack 25 (SP25)

Hi experts,
We have upgraded our NetWeaver 2004 (6.40) environment with Portal 6.0 to the latest Service Pack 25 (SP25).
After the whole upgrade a strange problem occurs in the Portal when using the portal navigation. After a few clicks in the navigation a JavaScript error in the browser occurs. We use Internet Explorer 7 and 8.
When the error occurs, we have to refresh the browser to use the portal again. I have the idea that the problem is relating to the session management but i can't figure it out.
Any ideas?
JavaScript error details:
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.2; Trident/4.0; GTB6; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Dear Benjamin,
Thank you for your answer. I think it helped us with the scope of the problem.
We use a FQDN for the Portal and also a FQDN for the backend (R/3). There is nothing changed in those hostnames between the upgrade from SP19 to SP25. The browser problem occurs after a few clicks (10 - 30) in the left-side navigation and is not based on time or specific iView. So its difficult to find a routine structure in the presents of the error.
I have also used the tool to analyse the JavaScript code. It gives a error on a not defined object value within the file js13_epcf.js?6.0810.
It seems that the part of the code had to do something with the iFrame usage of the Portal. But it's to difficult to find the real cause of the issue.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

NI Update Service: Upgrades & Service Packs: LabVIEW 2012 FPGA Module Xilinx Tools 10.1

Hi,
I downloaded / installed the newest LV 2012 release - everythin fine so far (its great )
NI-Update Service proposed the installation of a service pack - download and installation worked too.
NI-US also suggests to update the Xilinx tools for the FPGA module, but the download is not working. Seems like the download-link is broken??
Any suggestions?
Another interesting question: I live in Austria (German speaking), but we use Windows & LV entirely in English in our company. The NI-US however is heavily localized - even the item description is in German. While this is OK for me, I still wonder if I could change it to English too.
(for the attachment: "Fehler beim Herunterl..." => "failed to download")

Hi Benjamin,
OK, I see, if the PC doesn't have any Xilinx tools installed at all, then Update Service will not offer you the update. It only displays upgrades to software that is already installed.
This log from the other PC shows that the Xilinx 10.1 update fails to download, as your message said initially, but unfortunately it doesn't say anything more.
We released a bunch of new updates last week, and since then there have been a few cases like this, but it doesn't seem widespread or easily reproducible. I can see in our server reports that other users successfully downloaded this update yesterday.
I attached a downloader file that you can try. Unzip the file and run the exe. All it does is point to the same download location that Update Service is using to download this file. If the downloader works, then the problem is with Update Service. If the downloader doesn't work, then we'd know that something on our web servers isn't delivering this file properly.
Also, if you happen to have any HTTP traffic monitoring software (like Fiddler), I'd be interested to know what it says is happening during the file download request.

Tried to download itunes and now my iphone does not even work.I have been on the phone with apple for 3 hours and it still won't work.I have a service pack 2 in this land computer and it won't upgrade .I do have the latest verision of itunes.Then we put

I tried to download itunes to my phone.First it wanted it to download the new itunes.We also updated our Windows xp.I kept coming up can't complete because there was an error when setting up.One time is was error 9 and they tried to help me.I have a laptop with the internet and we tried it there.We were able to get service pack 3 downloaded.So we did upgrade the itunes on the laptop even though I have never put music on there but there is some from someone .I never heard of many of the songs.Any how I did try to download and restore on the laptop and then come to the land computer and see if the box comes up to restore the contacts.Well it didn 't work and now my phone won't even turn on .I have no one to call if something happened to me.I am going to the Apple store right off the bat tomorrow morning.I have everything in the box and the phone and reciept and see if they make it work or give me another one.I have to take my sim card again since They gave it back to me.I bet it means I can't sync the photos in the phone.Even with 2 computers and talking with 3 people it still did not work.All because I wanted to download the itunes to my phone.I don't care now if I can just get my phone to work and my contacts are in there.I hope I don't have to buy the ringtones again I bought 4 of them.Any one have this problem and what did you do to fix it?

The Apple rep tried both those ideas and both failed. The rep was connected to my computer so she
could see my screen and show me exactly what to do. My iPhone (not ipad) never has synced photos to my computer,
I have to use explorer to copy and paste or cut and paste them to my PC . It is the syncing back to my iPhone of only the much smaller selected photos that used to sync in itunes but now the itunes sync button cannot be clicked to make that happen. And the reason I only sync back selected photos is that my total PC pictures file is about 40 Gb. Also I find it a lot more useful to have a small number of folders ( no sub-folders of course) so I can quickly locate on my iPhone pictures from different categories such as family, autos, etc. None of this posed any problems for over a year until just recently. I am reading on other threads of many people with other iTunes syncing problems, and wonder now if it is the latest iTunes updates that are causing the problems? While I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes on my PC, I don't know how or if you can, install a previous version?

As I know last SP for BPC 7 (MS version) is SP 6, you can find solved issues, installation/upgrade instructions and related OSS notes on OSS note 1388412.
Hope this helps,

Upgrade SQL server 2008 r2 to latest available Service Pack in SP 2010 farm.

Hi,
We have 2 server's in the farm ( WFE+App server and SQL server).
We are planning to upgrade SQL server 2008 r2 to latest available Service pack [10.50.6000 (SP3)] version.
So before upgrading SQL server , need to take any necessary actions from SharePoint server side ?
And once patching is done on SQL server, need to run SharePoint Configuration wizard ?
Please provide best way for this upgrade.
Cheers,
RameshNK

You certainly can turn off SharePoint/stop IIS if you wish, but it isn't required. SharePoint will be unavailable during a portion of the SP3 upgrade and will reconnect once SQL is back online.

MS SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 upgrade

Hi,
I need to upgrade my actual SAP DataBase SQL Server 2000 from Service Pack 2 to Service Pack 4 in order to be more secure as a MS consultant is requesting, but following the comments on the SAP note 1026116 attached file, which references this MS article:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/B/D/1BDF5B78-584E-4DE0-B36F-C44E06B0D2A3/ReadmeSql2k32sp4.htm
Referenced Text:
"If your instance of SQL Server 2000 is being used by an application, first check with the provider of the application whether there are any SQL Server 2000 upgrade considerations specific to that application. "
So following this instructions is there any SQL Server 2000 upgrade to Service Pack 4 considerations for a SAP Database of an ERP R3 ECC 6.0.
Could anyone can help me please with this question?
Best Regards,
Erik Espinosa

Hi,
Service Pack 4 is supported and recommended for SAP ERP ECC 6.0. There are currently no known issues with upgrading to this service pack. The mentioned collation change don't have to be performed as long as you are not planning to upgrade to SQL Server 2005.
Best regards

Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 upgradation

Hi,
I need your support to upgrade and migrate to Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 in my development server.
I am currently upgrading my Crystal enterprise version 9 with the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2. I have the below questions to be clarified. Appreciate if you can reply me ASAP. Thanks.
My Environment:
O/S - Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition; Version 5.2 (Build 3790); Service Pack - 1
RAM size - 1 GB
Installed software - Crystal enterprise 9
1) After successfully upgraded with the XI version, all my current user accounts and existing reports are not available in the upgraded version. Pl. suggest me, how to migrate my existing connections and all the existing reports?
2) In my server, SQL Server is not installed. But SQL Server instance (SQL Server 7.00.623) is running in my taskbar (desktop). If I stopped the SQL Server instance, the "Crystal APS" in the Crystal Configuration Manager is stopped. What information is stored in the SQL Server?
3) What is the default SQL server version bundled with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Service Pack 2? What is the SQL server version you recommand?
4) Will the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP2 supports the SQL Server 7.00.623?
Regards
Sanrajesh

Hello, Sanrajesh,
You have been using Crystal Enterprise 9.0 and now you are installing Crystal Reports XI R2. Is that correct?
Crystal Reports XI R2 is just the Crystal Reports designer and runtime for development.
Crystal Reports XI R2 does not have the functionality of Crystal Enterprise. The upgrade would be Crystal Enterprise 9.0 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. (11.5)
A full BusinessObjects Enterprise installation will install the appropriate MS SQL Server for it's own use.
Will this be the Enterprise server or just the Development system to create an application connecting to your BusinessObjects Enterprise server?
What development language will you be programming in?
If you have BusinessObjects Enterprise installed elsewhere you only need the appropriate development components on your system and connect to the server in code.
Our BusinessEnterprise Support team would assist you in the upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 if that was your plan.
Then we could discuss the development requirements.

Questions about upgrading from Exchange 2010 RTM to Exchange 2010 Service Pack 3

I am preparing to perform an maintenance upgrade on our current Exchange 2010 Server, to Service Pack 3 (and any post-SP3 roll ups), but I have a couple questions about the process.
Current Exchange Server details:
Exchange 2010 Standard
Version: 14.0 (Build 639.21) - from Exchange Management Console
Version: 14.0.702.4000 - from Outook client
Active Directory forest and domain levels: Windows 2008 R2 native
The questions I have are:
1. Can I assume that because it's version 10.0.702.4000 I am on Exchange Server 2010 RTM Update Rollup 4?
2. Can Exchange 2010 Standard RTM be patched directly to Service Pack 3, or would I need to perform incremental patches (i.e. SP1, SP2, etc.) before going to SP3?
3. Do I need to manually perform the AD domain schema prep before applying Service Pack 3, or will the Service Pack 3 update process automatically handle the modifications of the AD schema?

Hi,
Here are my answers you can refer to:
1. Firstly, I’d like to explain , we can use connection status to check our Exchange server version from Outlook client:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/determine-the-version-of-microsoft-exchange-server-my-account-connects-to-HA010117038.aspx
And I check my version from both EMC and Outlook client. It’s same.
2. We can directly update RTM version to SP3 , and the update will take an additional 30 minutes or longer per database.
3. Since Exchange 2010 SP3 makes updates to the Active Directory schema, we need prepare AD domain schema. However, it will automatically prepare AD and the domain when you install the update.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj965774(v=exchg.141).aspx
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,
