Upgrading questions regarding applications

Hey all,
I am upgrading from my black macbook running snow leopard to a new macbook pro 15''. A quick question about my applications- I have several licensed programs (Microsoft Office, Photoshop, some video games, etc.). When I move everything over from my time machine to the new computer, will I have to reenter these codes? I'm afraid they've been misplaced over time, and I don't want to have to pay again for these applications.
Thanks in advance!!

Good luck. Also, there is a great app that I couldn't live without, called Wallet (http://www.acrylicapps.com/wallet). It's probably the best $20 I've spent. This will keep all your personal information secure and help organize serial numbers, web passwords, bank accounts, etc. You can customize the categories to add as many options as you need. I don't know how much money this has saved me over the years as I surely would have forgotten serial numbers and would have had to re-buy the software.

11gR2 Post-Upgrade Questions Regarding tnsnames, listener, pwd, and init

Hello.
Am planning on upgrading a significant # of RHEL5 10gR2 RAC and non-RAC DBs to 11gR2 (11.2.0.3.1, specifically). The servers are still not available to me, but I have been poring on the install and upgrade documents as well as referencing several blogs of users who have done them. I have almost literally read the guides verbatim. I will be using the DBUS - not doing a manual upgrade. Since I cannot test of the upgrade yet, I have a few questions related to POST_UPGRADE actions in terms of the listener, tnsnames, password, and init files.
1.) The upgrade document indicates on p 3-24, "DBUA then proceeds to create new configuration files (parameter and listener files) in the new Oracle home." Will the init file (assuming spfile will be copied as we are using one everywhere now) have deprecated parameters REMOVED after it is copied over to the NEW/TARGET home?
2.) While the install/upgrade guides do not call for it, several blogs indicate that the tnsnames and password files should be copied over from the old/source DB network/admin location ($TNSNAMES/admin) to the new/target DB /network/admin location. Do I need to do this or with the DBUA also copy them over? If all 4 files (tnsnames/listener/spfile/password) are copied over, I am not sure why the document doesn't indicate this.
3.) Other than the spfile being copied over and modified, I don't see any difference between the old/source and new/destination copies of the listener, tnsnames, and password file. Do you agree?
I am just trying to figure out what really need to be copied over and what doesn't in lieu of the DBUA doing it for me.
Thank you all for your help. If I had HW to test this out, I would do it. In the meantime, I am writing the procedures to do the actual upgrade.

page 3-24 corresponds to following
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e23633/upgrade.htm#CHDDCBHG
which states
You must run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant before running DBUA. See "Configuring the Listener When Upgrading from Oracle9i".
If you are upgrading an existing Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control or if you are configuring a new Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control for the new Oracle Database 11g release, then the listener must be running before upgrading Oracle Enterprise Manager. If DBUA detects that an Oracle Enterprise Manager upgrade or configuration is requested, and DBUA does not see a listener running, then it prompts you and starts the default listener in either of these cases.
running netca from new home results in creating a new listener.ora file, this could complain that listener is already used if the old listener is running with the same name or port (default 1521) taken.
I think the "+DBUA reloads the listener.ora file in both the old and new Oracle Database environments.+" which point c in that list has to be taken in context with the two previous points a, b, where the usecase is shown how services , entries are removed from one listener.ora file and added to another. So to make sure those services are started from the "now" correct home those listener.ora are reloaded.
If you look in the 11.1 upgrade guide this text is written as "DBUA removes the entry of the upgraded database from the old listener.ora file and reloads the listener of the old database." http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28300/upgrade.htm#i1011982
If after the upgrade old oracle home is not used anymore (no database is running out of that) you can ignore the listener.ora on the old home.

Exchange 2010 SP2 to SP3 upgrade question regarding Forefront

When doing an upgrade from 2010SP2 to SP3 is it recommended stopping all exchange services manually before installing the update? I know there is a prereq of stopping forefront or you may have an issue with services starting. I have not run into
this issue in my test environment. I do not know if the SP3 install requires any checks of services to be running or not.
I have also notices on a cas/ht server with forefront installed, you can't stop forefront without shutting down the transport service. So is it best to just shut all services down first before doing the upgrade?

Hi,
Based on the article below, you can stop all Exchange services before you decide to install an Exchange service pack, if you really require this.

Upgrading question regarding software to download for bo xi r2 to bo xi 3.1

We are going from BO XI R2 Enterprise to BO XI 3.1 Enterprise. I checked out the downloads section for BOX XI 3.1 and found these instances for downloads:
BOE XI 3.1 (SERVER/CLIENT TOOLS) WIN (under installs)
BOE XI3.1(SRVR/CLNT TOOLS) Patch WIN (under upgrades)
We are probably going to do a fresh install and then migrate the data over using the import wizard. Is the first one the one we need to download? Also, if we are going to do an in-place upgrade, wouldn't the first version (under installs) be able to do detect and perform the upgrade without having two separate download instances?
Thanks,
Tommy

No, Xi3.0 users have to use upgrade package for in-place upgrades. Full package won't work for that purpose.
Why would anyone publish 2 packages if one of them was useless ?
To confuse customers on purpose ?!?!?
Each package has it's own niche, it's own usage scenario and advantages over each other.

Security Question Regarding Application Synchronization

In the case of a user with one iTunes account being used on multiple iOS devices by multiple members of that users family, is there a way to specify one app on one device that should not replicate to other devices as it's business use and not for the rest of the family?
Is this an all or nothing feature?
Thanks!!

It's an all or nothing feature as long as everyone has full access to the Apple ID. But every device can have a custom build. You don't have to put every bit of content in the libraries on every device.
Otherwise, you need a separate Apple ID for business.

Question regarding ASO application in Essbase 11 version

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies to my previous posts.
I have a question regarding the ASO applications for telecom company built in Essbase 11 version. Please provide your feedback on the design.
The ASO application has the following number of Dimensions:
Dimensions     Number of Levels     Number of Level 0 Members     Number of Attribute Dimensions
Dimension1     2     6.5 million     15
Dimension2 1     3
Dimension3     1     4
Dimension4 1      6
Dimension5 1     6
Dimension6     1     5
Dimension7 1     3
Dimension8     5     1700
Dimension9     2     800
Dimension10 2     40000
Dimension11 3     750
Dimension12 2     34000
Dimension13 1      15
The number of Measures is 8.
The outline size is around 2.12 GB.
The data is mostly sparse. Does this design yield a good performance. Should I change some of the attributes to UDAs to increase the performance.I think Attribute dimensions are more flexible than UDAs but it affects the performance of the retrieval.
Thanks in advance.
Kannan.

In ASO attribute dimensions are treated like regular dimensions, That is to say they are materalized just like a regular dimension. Changing them to UDA's won't buy you the same performance as having them as dimensions will. The one nice thing about Attributes in ASO cubes (and BSO cubes) is you don't clutter us the screen with dimensions that are not used a lot. If your attrubite dimensions are used often in your ASO cube, there would be no performance difference if you made them regular dimensions.

Questions regarding upgrade from 4th gen to 5th gen iPod

I recently received a new 80 gig 5th gen iPod and had 2 questions regarding it and my old 40 gig 4th gen. PC meets minimun requirements and is running XP Pro.
1) Do I need to do anything before synching the new 5th gen iPod with my existing Library (i.e. uninstall iPod Updater for 4th gen)?
2) If I don't need to uninstall the 4th gen Updater, can I run both iPods off the same Library, same user (obviously not simultaneously)?
tia - joggy
N/A Windows XP Pro

Hey, joggy!
1) No, I don't believe you do. Be sure to disconnect the 4th gen iPod before connecting the 5th generation iPod to the computer.
2) Yes, you can.
There are basically two methods with managing muleiple iPods on one computer:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each resgistered iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
I hope that helps you.

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
QUESTION 2:
I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
QUESTION 3:
Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
QUESTION 4:
Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
QUESTION 5:
If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

Well said.
Steps to set up RAID
Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
4. Name the RAID set.
5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
6. Click Create.
Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
7. Click Rebuild.

Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
/Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
Media files as needed.
Things that hurt performance:
Page outs
Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StandardRAIDlevels
(normally I'd link to Wikipedia but I can't load right now)
Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

Kernel Upgrade reflecting in application servers

Hello All,
I have question regarding kernel upgrade .
while performing kernel upgrade ,we uncar the files and replace the exe file in central instance (/sapmnt/<sid>/) .
After restarting the server , it is automatically getting reflected in appl.servers too.
Can any one tell me the work around beyond it .On what basis this is exactly getting updated by default in appl. servers too ?
Best Regards
Rakesh

If you look in the start profile of the application servers you will find the sapcpe program that runs at startup. This program is responsible for going out and looking to see if there is a newer kernel available at the CI. If it does see a newer version it will copy the correct files out to the application server.

Question regarding roaming and data usage

I am currently out of my main country of service, and as such I have a question regarding roaming and data usage.
I am told that the airplane mode is sufficient from keeping the phone off from roaming, but does this apply to any background data usage for applications and such?
If the phone is in airplane mode, are all use of the phone including wifi and application use through the wifi outside of all extra charges from roaming?

Ann154 wrote:
If you are getting charged to use the wifi, then it is possible. Otherwise no
Just to elaborate here, Ann154 is referring to access charges for wifi, which is nothing to do with Verizon, so if you are using it in a plane, hotel, an internet cafe etc that charges for Wifi rather than being free . Verizon does not charge you (or indeed know about!) wifi usage, or any other usage that is not on their cellular network (such as using a foreign SIM for example in global phones) So these charges, if any, will not show up on the verizon bill app. Having it in airplane mode prevents all cellular data traffic so you should be fine

Question regarding ONT connection via Ethernet and Cable cards

Hi,
We recently upgraded to Fios Quation 150Mbps/65 plan. We are not getting the advertised speeds (we only get like 5mbps upload) so verizon is sending a tech to switch the ONT connection from coax to ethernet.
I have 2 questions regarding this new setup:
1. If the ONT communicates with the Fios Actiontect router via ethernet instead of coax from now on, How will the set top boxes and Tivo-esque cable card powered device I currently have connected to coax, talk to the verizon system from now on, if coax is taken out of the equation? Will fios signal still flow through the internal coax wiring of the house? And moreover, I was under the impression that coax was the way set top boxes communicated and derived independent ip addresses from the Fios router, for on deman purposes and what not. How will this work from now on?
Quiestion 2.
Right next to the wall where the ONT sits, theres's a basement office where we have a PC that connects to the Fios system via an Actiontect MoCa adapter (ECB2500C) which I assume derives it internet connection from the Fios Actiontec router which sits upstairs in the living room.
Again, with the Coax about to be disabled next Friday in favor of ethernet connection from the ONT, I assume this PC will be left without internet because of the lack of internet signal in the coax? Is this correct?
Question 2.5 If my above assumption is correct, since this office is right on the other side of the wall where the ONT sits outside the house, would it be possible to run an ethernet wire through the wall that connects straight from the ONT to an ethernet switch inside the office, from which I would derive a connection for this basement PC (properly firewalled of course) and then, from said switch, continue running the ethernet wire that would ultimately reach the Actiontec Fios router upstairs from which the rest of the house derives it's internet? and would this setup affect in any way the propper functioning of the cable boxes in the house?
I'd appreciate your input and any help you can provide so I can have a ballpark idea of what to tell the Fios guy to do when he comes on Friday.
Cheers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not valid to have two devices connected to the ONT, PC and VZ Router. Must be a single device. The ONT locks onto the MAC Address of the first device it sees. Since you have TV you should have the VZ router as the internet facing router.
Other options:
1. Have the VZ Router located next to the PC in the basement and then use Wireless for all other PC's.
2. Have the VZ Router located next to the PC in the basement but run one wire upstairs and connect a switch where other PCs and devices can connect via a wire.
Hope that helps.

Questions regarding creation of vendor in different purchase organisation

Hi abap gurus .
i have few questions regarding data transfers .
1) while creating vendor , vendor is specific to company code and vendor can be present in different purchasing organisations within the same company code if the purchasing organisation is present at plant level .my client has vendor in different purchasing org. how the handle the above situatuion .
2) i had few error records while uploading MM01 , how to download error records , i was using lsmw with predefined programmes .
3) For few applications there are no predefined programmes , no i will have to chose either predefined BAPI or IDOCS . which is better to go with . i found that BAPI and IDOCS have same predefined structures , so what is the difference between both of them .

Hi,
1. Create a BDC program with Pur orgn as a Parameter on the selection screen
so run the same BDC program for different Put organisations so that the vendors
are created in different Pur orgns.
2. Check the Action Log in LSMW and see
3.see the doc
BAPI - BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) are the standard SAP interfaces. They play an important role in the technical integration and in the exchange of business data between SAP components, and between SAP and non-SAP components. BAPIs enable you to integrate these components and are therefore an important part of developing integration scenarios where multiple components are connected to each other, either on a local network or on the Internet.
BAPIs allow integration at the business level, not the technical level. This provides for greater stability of the linkage and independence from the underlying communication technology.
LSMW- No ABAP effort are required for the SAP data migration. However, effort are required to map the data into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload program of the LSMW.
The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.
The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.
So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.
We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.
The SAP transaction code is 'LSMW' for SAP version 4.6x.
Check your procedure using this Links.

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install tiger discs version 10.4.10. Is it safe to downgrade or not please help

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac

Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

Question regarding PO approval

Hi All,
I have a question regarding PO approval.
I know we can do the delegate at the application level, but if I grant a read-only access of my outlook inbox to person1 and person1 accept a notification, is there a way, at the application level, to know that it's person1 who accepted the request and not me?
I guess with the NID, Oracle knows the email was sent for approval to me and will be accepted by me, even if person1 accepted it?
In the workflow inbox, I can see it was person1. But I want to know at the application level if there is anything that can be done to know it was person1.
Do not hesitate if I am not clear.
Thank you~

It is not possible.
When you grant someone access to your outlook, it is as if the person is sitting in your chair and clicking on the notification.
Oracle has no way of knowing it was you or someone else.
Hope this answers your question,
Sandeep Gandhi

Question Regarding Mesh with 3702 and non AC ap´s

Hello!
quick question regarding MESH deployments with 2 different sorts of AP´s: AC and non-AC modells: If my 3702i is my root AP´s, and 3602i my MAP - will AC still work in 80Mhz, or will I have to switch to 40mhz (and thus crippling (???) AC performance?)
Not 100% sure on this... I *think* it should still work for the normal 802.11n connection, but I´m not sure if the 80mhz channel width (needed??) for AC, will cause the non-ac 3602i to be stranded?
Thanks alot for your insight!

Currently, my network DHCP server is a software based DHCP server. In reading over your post if I understood correctly it sounds like the managed switch would have its own hardware based DHCP server to assign IP addresses to those clients identified on the "external" VLAN. Did I understand that correctly or did misread something?
DHCP server will be software based, even though you defined it on your switch, it is DHCP service running on its OS.
I am configuring this setup for a small business application and will need to purchase a managed switch with 16 or 24 ports. Do you have any recommendations on a particular managed switch that will handle the VLAN configuration and include POE while keeping costs in mind.
