URGENT: Migration from EP6SP13 Test to EP6SP13 PRD

Hello All,
I've a Portal running on the EP6 SP13(J2EE, Portal and KMC) and i want to copy all the configuration and data to the another Portal which is also in the same environment EP6SP13(J2EE, Portal and KMC).
Both the Portal's are running on the Windows 2003 and Database is MS-SQL Server. Could you please let me know can i use the Homogeneous System Copy for this purpose.
Regards
Vaib

Well, looks like you missed one step of the system copy
process. Stage 1 creates install packages based on data
and code that SC finds on the source system. The major
trick of stage 2 is that you tell the install of the
target system to actually use the packages created during
stage 1 instead of the the regular install packages on
the install media.
System copy does NOT work with a fully installed target.
On alternatives: I'm not aware of any tools that can
create an exact copy of a given source installation.

URGENT - Migrating from 9i to 10g designer

Hi All,
I have installed new repository for Designer 10g (10.1.2.0.2) and
I have started Migration from Designer 9i (9.0.2.80.10).
I have error message from ckrau61 with cause:
"No Designer Repository has been detected.
Please check connection details and try again".
I have checked TNSNAMES.ORA and haven't found any error. Other
software works with old repository (9i) and i have checked the TNSNAMES.ORA on the server and not on the client ... Oracle is trying to build a db link and it is tested ok.
The Migration from 9i is not supported in 10g?
Help-me!!!!
Any tips would be helpful. Thanks.

You do not have to install a new Repository and "migrate" your data to upgrade from Designer 9i to Designer 10g. You just install the 10g Designer client, connect to your existing 9i Repository and "upgrade" it to 10g.
Please refer to the "Upgrading a Release 6i, 9i, or 10g Repository" section in the Repository Installation Guide for complete details.

Exchange 2013 Migration from 2010 Test (Shared split DNS)

Hi
Im testing a migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013. I have tried to run a single DNS name to both servers, so externally mail.test.com resolves to the external IP and that NAT's to the new Exchange 2013. Then internally mail.test.com resolves both to EXC13
and EXC10 ip adresses (Round Robin).
I have moved some mailboxes to 2013. If the IP resolves to the new Exchange and i try to login to a mailbox on the old server i get redirected as im supposed to. If the IP resolves to the old Exchange and i try to login with a mailbox on the new server i
get:
A server configuration change is temporarily preventing access to your account. Please close all Web browser windows and try again in a few minutes. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.
Should this be possible, or do i need to change the intarnal URL on all virtual directories on the old server to the local netbios name or what to do?

You should never use the server name in any of the URLs. You should use either a CNAME or a load-balanced VIP with a generic name like mail.company.com or webmail.company.com. Then you just point this name to the new server. If
you're currently using a server name, it's about time to change that first before trying to switch to Exchange 2013.
Curently im using a generic name, mail.test.com. But that's just a normal A record on the internal DNS. So i cannot use that on both?

URGENT: Migrating from SQL to Oracle results in very poor performance!

*** IMPORTANT, NEED YOUR HELP ***
Dear, I have a banking business solution from Windows/SQL Server 2000 to Sun Solaris/ORACLE 10g migrated. In the test environment everything was working fine. On the production system we have very poor DB performance. About 100 times slower than SQL Server 2000!
Environment at Customer Server Side:
Hardware: SUN Fire 4 CPU's, OS: Solaris 5.8, DB Oracle 8 and 10
Data Storage: Em2
DB access thru OCCI [Environment:OBJECT, Connection Pool, Create Connection]
Depending from older applications it's necessary to run ORACLE 8 as well on the same Server. Since we have running the new solution, which is using ORACLE 10, the listener for ORACLE 8 is frequently gone (or by someone killed?). The performance of the whole ORACLE 10 Environment is very poor. As a result of my analyse I figured out that the process to create a connection to the connection pool takes up to 14 seconds. Now I am wondering if it a problem to run different ORACLE versions on the same Server? The Customer has installed/created the new ORACLE 10 DB with the same user account (oracle) as the older version. To run the new solution we have to change the ORACLE environment settings manually. All hints/suggestions to solve this problem are welcome. Thanks in advance.
Anton

On the production system we have very poor DB performanceHave you identified the cause of the poor performance is not the queries and their plans being generated by the database?
Do you know if some of the queries appear to take more time than what it used to be on old system? Did you analyze such queries to see what might be the problem?
Are you running RBO or CBO?
if stats are generated, how are they generated and how often?
Did you see what autotrace and tkprof has to tell you about problem queries (if in fact such queries have been identified)?

Issue on migration from OTM 8 to 9

Hello,
I'm trying to migrate from Oracle Test Manager 8 to 9. I would like to use an old schema built on OTM 8. I've created a new Database Connection using OATS - Database Configuration in order to use my old schema. Anytime I try to log in OATS Administration Login using Administrator account, the application alert me that I'm trying to open a connection to an old version that must be updated. When I choose yes I get this error: "The Oracle Test Manager for Applications database could not be updated. Please make sure that the user has Administrator rights for the database and that the password entered is correct."
So I checked "User" table on db using this query:
SELECT * FROM "Users" where isactive = 0 and deleted = 0;
"Administator" account appears in the result list.
I've followed this guide: http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=995410&tstart=146, so I've tried to change isactive flag of default user to 1 from 0 but nothing changed.
Can someone give me some tips?
Thank you.

Version 8 I guess was pre OATS user...
There's a 'Oracle Application Testing Data Migration Tool' under in your ATS programs menu listing. I should be used for migrations, if I recall the default DB in 8 was MSAccess but the migration tool offers migrations from different DBs also previous Oracle DBs.
I haven't used it but it might help. You still need to know the owner of your OTM schema though... Use a DB management tool to find out.

Planning Migration from Development Server to Testing Server

Hi All,
I am doing migration from development env to testing env. I am stuck in the middle of the migration. Anyone please guide me in this situation. Its very urgent for me. I am following below steps for the planning migration
1. Create a new database on Production RDBMS Server for your planning application.
I created the new database for my planning application.
2. Configure a data source on Production Planning Server.
     I configured the new datasource on planning.
3. Create fresh planning application on Production Server and Ensure the admin is the same as your planning application on Development Server.
     I created the new planning application on production server. Its working fine with admin login.
4. Go into the database tables for the planning app on Production Server and look at table HSP_USERS; store the SID value against user 50001.
     I save the SID value against 50001 in a notepad
5. Go into the database planning system tables on Production Server and HSPSYS_APPLICATION, clear out the version field for the application you have created.
     I removed the version for the application i created
6. Stop Planning.
     I stopped the planning services
7. Restore the planning application database on Development over the one created in the first step (to the Production Server Database).
     In this steps only, i am facing diffculities.
     How to take the backup of development database? (Here, i want to the take the database backup of planning application schema or entire oracle databat in development server)
     How to restore to testing env database
Please anyone guide me in this situtation. Please......
8. Go into the HSP_USERS table and update the SID for user id 50001
9. Start planning
10. Go to planning web and you should see your application when you try and log in it should take you to a migrate screen.
11. If you are requiring to migrate users as well, you will have to make sure you create them in Shared Services and then use the updateusers utility in the planning bin directory.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Hi Mars,
Thanks for your reply. I did the same as you specified. I used Imp instead of import, exp instead of export.
7. Restore the planning application database on Development over the one created in the first step (to the Production Server Database).
I restored the Planning dmp here
8. Go into the HSP_USERS table and update the SID for user id 50001
Here, SID remains the same after restore the backup from the development server(SID same for Development and testing Server)
9. Start planning
I started the Planning Services.
10. Go to planning web and you should see your application when you try and log in it should take you to a migrate screen
I am facing problem here.
While login into planning application, its not redirect to migrate screen. Its normally login to the application
Thanks,
Lakshmi

What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV - Test - PRD?

Hi,
One of my customers recently asked me, Supposing I do the complete integrations and modelling in SOA Suite on the DEV Environment. Then,
What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV -> Test -> PROD ??
Also, since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?
Best Regards

Hi AJ,
Nice PDF !
Though the PDF does give a basic idea as to how we can go about the deployments using ANT and EM in Test and Prod, it doesn't really give extensive details. For eg. ANT would obviously need huge ANT scripts to be written for migrations to multiple Test servers, etc.
Similarly, when we talk about EM, does it mean each of the services has to be manually deployed on Production ?
I am sure we would be looking more towards a fully automated solution. No ?
Best Regards
Nitin

Regarding Migration from Testing to Development

Hi All,
I am going to migrate from Windows 32-bit to unix 64 bit. I am using hyperion 9.3.1. I dont know, how to migrate from windows 32 bit to unix 64 bit.
I want to migrate Planning, Essbase and Shared Services. This is the first time, i am doing the migration. Please guide me in this situation. Its very urgent for me.
My Doubts
1) What are the files(In planning, essbase and shared Services) i have to copy for the migration?
2) What are the steps, i have to follow during the migration?
Please guide me in this situation. If u have any documents for migration, please share with me. This is my mail id : [email protected]
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Hi,
I am doing the migration for Planning. I am following the below stepts for migration. I am stuck in the middle.
The below are some steps to use in Migrating .
1. Create a new database on Production RDBMS Server for your planning application.
I created a new database (MIGRDB)
2. Configure a data source on Production Planning Server.
I configured the datasource
3. Create fresh planning application on Production Server and Ensure the admin is the same as your planning application on Development Server.
I created the new planning application in developement server
4. Go into the database tables for the planning app on Production Server and look at table HSP_USERS; store the SID value against user 50001.
How to find the SID for the new database? Here i want to replace the 50001 with new database sid value(step 1 - MIGRDB)
Please guide me in this situation.

Planning 9.3 Applciation migration from test to prod

Hi Guys,
I wnated to migrate my planning applciation from Test to Production instance,
In both the instances I have Oracle 10g as a repository for my applications.
Please send me the steps to Migrate the same.
My Test instance has one Planning applciation "PlanApp"
In Production I just installed the Planning, I ahve not created any applicaion yet, but wanted to copy from my test instance.
Thanks

Hi,
This topic has been covered quite a few times now on this forum, a bit of searching will give you all the answers you need but in summary :-
Create a new planning app on production
Register with shared services.
Make it is the same admin name account betwen test and prod.
Go into the oracle schema on prod for your app, extract the SID value from the HSP_USERS table where the user_id = 50001
Stop Planning on prod
Take an export of the planning app schema on Test
Import the schema over the top of the schema on Prod
Update the HSP_USERS table with the stored SID value on prod.
Restart Planning.
Cheers
John

After DB migration from PRD to DEV

Dear Expert:
I install R/3 4.7 x110 in windows NT 2003 64 bit with MSSQL 2005 server.
and I did DB Migration from PRD to this DB server.
But after that SAP can't start.
I followed the note 551915 download the STM program but sadly it can't start.
So I manualy run the sql script in the 551915 note.
after that it can logon but come out an error as below~
SAP System Check
Can't execute sap_check_if_sick
Severe problems were detected during initial system check.
Please, do not use that system before fixing these problems.
Runtime errors START_CALL_SICK
Occurred on 25.02.2008 at 10:04:37
Database inconsistency: Start Transaction SICK.
Error analysis
The error probably occurred when installing the
R/3 system.
Error message of the error that appeared first:
"Can't execute sap_check_if_sick".
Can any one tell me what should I do next?
Regards
Jack Lee

I got a solution to this problem.We got the same error when we changed database instance from default to named.
Login to SQL management studio.Go to security -> Logins -> sid ->Right click
Click - properties
Choose u2013 "Securables" and then click "search"
Choose option u2013 The server ****
Look for permission u2013 'Control server' and grant it to SIDADM
Hope it helps.

When i am taking dump of database from DEV to TEST,its working fine.
But,i want migration by import/export of master and work repoitory.
Can you please suggest another solution of this issue.

Migrating from test to prod

Hi All,
After migrating a BPEL process from test to production changed the deployment descriptors for BAM hostname/username/password using BPEL PM (prod). However, the changes did not take effect. Sensor data was not sent to the production BAM server.
What's the best way to migrate from test to production a BPEL process that has BAM sensors?
Thanks.

If you are using BPEL 10.1.3.1 there is a bug with BPEL PM that any time you modify any of the descriptor values, you must retype the password. Failure to do this will cause BPEL PM to encrypt the *'s as the password.
Check and make sure the user account that BPEL is connecting to BAM with is not locked out because of this.
Once you get everything typed in and saved correctly, do a restart on the BPEL container to make sure everything is reset.

URGENT: Migrating AR(Receivables) data from 11.5 to R12

Hi All,
I have requirement like below..
I have to migrate the AR data(invoices and receipts) from 11.5.5 to R12.
can we migrate closed invoices as well as open invoices?
about receipts, how can we migrate applied receipts as well as unapplied receipts?
what all are the things we need to take care(like column mapping and other things)?
please respond, its bit urgent.
Thanks
Edited by: user627525 on Feb 12, 2009 10:39 PM
Edited by: user627525 on Feb 17, 2009 10:55 PM

Usually only Open Invoices and Unapplied Receipts are migrated from Old system to New Instance.
Post Migration Reconciliation shall be tough in that scenario. Reconsider/Rediscuss with Client.
Migration can be done using APIs or Custom Scripts using Standard Interfaces.
Hope this is helpful

Migration from Crystal IX to BO-XI using java sdk-- very urgent

Post Author: Pranav.Sharma
CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
Need help in migration from Crystal Report IX to BO-XI.
Currently we are using CR IX and Java SDK to access reports from J2ee application. These reports reside on remote server where we have shared access to that directory.
We are accessing these reports through our j2ee application.Can anyone please elaborate whether we can use same SDK here with slight change in code probably in authentication related to CMS etc and calling mechanism or we have to go for BO java SDK alltogether. Is anything we are missing here?
Can anyone please help as we have to complete migration in 1-2 days.

The first thing you will want to do is to publish all of your reports to Business Objects XI and make sure they all still work. Obviously they won't have the dynamic parameters anymore but you should just ensure they all work and are able to connect to their databases. You can use a tool like the publishing wizard to help you.
All the reports should now be available inside of XI.
Unfortunately you will need to manually modify all of the 400 reports to use the business objects Dynamic Cascading Parameters DCP.
There should be some DCP info in the Business Views documentation.
I hope this helps
