USMT Data Capture & Restore

Hi All,
Can we capture user data using USMT from one domain & transfer it to another domain. Like i am capturing data of a user say in ABC domain (account - ABC\User1) & i want to restore it in another domain say xyz (account - XYZ\User1). The user name
will be the same just the domain gets different.
This is all done on the same machine, so here a single machine is joined from ABC domain to XYZ with the user account name being same. So, basically i have to transfer the data on the same machine but from ABC\User1 to XYZ\User1.
Can we achieve this using USMT.
Thanks,
Pranay.

That's exactly what the /md parameter is meant to be used for.
Example scenario: You capture the user data of USER1 in the CONTOSO domain, you reimage the machine and you restore the user data of USER1 in the FABRIKAM domain. In this case you need to specify the following in the loadstate command
/md:CONTOSO:FABRIKAM

UDI Wizard - Capture/Restore USMT data Page Question

I'm having some trouble figuring out why on a new pc deployment after a pxe boot on my select target page of the UDI defaults to local and everything else is greyed out. I would like to be able to choose No Data to Restore or Network. I can get
the network location to become selected by default but it is greyed out and selected however the local is not greyed out and if i click on Local I can't click back to Network. Also how to I pre-populate the password for the account to use for the backup.
I did get the domain\user pre-filled. I tried adding OSDUserStateKeyPassword=P@ssw0rd1 in my customsettings.ini file but that didnt seem to work.
Thanks!

Nope I didn't lock anything. I had it set to restore as I would only want to restore any data if im booting to PE.
I did manage to figure it out I think but I am not certain why it works the way it does. So if you remove the volume page it appears to default to unchecked, partition and format disk 0. Perhaps this can be set in the customsettings.ini by some
value. By placing this page back I can check and uncheck the box and replicate the results I am getting (unchecked) plus the result I want (checked) but I don't understand why it would default to being unchecked or even matter if I remove the page. I
certainly don't need or want the page in the wizard. Plus if you are going to deploy an OS from PE anyways doesn't the TS always reformat the drive as it would in a new computer scenario? It's set to Restore data anyways on Select Target. It
should only not reformat if you do a refresh which is run from within windows since it would store USMT data on the local disk as opposed to the network or USB drive.
Upon leaving that page in and testing my USMT share, which is directly mapped back to where the replace TS runs USMT and places its data, I can connect fine but it says that there is no directory that contains backed up user data which I don't really understand
why. There are sub folders that appear to be named in HEX and some have a USMT sub folder with a USMT.MIG file in them. I figured the way it would work is that it would allow me to select any folder i want to pick from to restore user data. Perhaps
not?? I need to figure out a way when i run a replace(IE Manual Backup) TS that it backs up and places data in a computer name folder rather than the 8E344E42B2...etc name under the SMPSTOREd_62FB22D0$ share. I assume this can be set in the customsettings.ini
file.
So ultimately I would like to run a new pc scenario TS and choose to either be a new pc (no data to restore) or replacement pc (choose data to restore from running the replace TS within windows) This is more a manual way of doing a replace pc scenario
rather than assigning X to be the old pc and Y the new and then automating everything in SCCM. Because sometimes we want to control what we restore and when we restore data on computers. I think if I can get all that working the way I envision
it if possible I would like to still have it work by changing the USMT to store its data in raw file format rather than in a .MIG file so if need be someone can manually poke through a users backup and get any particular file they want at any time.

User State Migration Data Capture Failure MDT 2012 Update 1

Hello All
Trying to capture data on a Win7 x64 machine so that I can keep the data and restore once the computer is done re-imaging. This is an offline MDT deployment on the same computer. See the error below:
CNAME loop detected. (Error: 000025EB; Source: Windows)

Lots of good information out there. Even stuff that says it's for MDT 2010 also applies to MDT 2012 Update 1 for the most part. Here's a few to get you started:

http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/MMS/2013/DC-B301 (great video with Johan presenting, focused on USMT 5.0)
You should create a default Standard Client Task Sequence and look at the State Capture and State Restore groups to see what MDT sets up for you by default that you may have removed from your current Task Sequence. But the direct answer to your question,
is that ScanState (part of USMT) is the part that creates a backup. LoadState is the piece that restores it to a machine.

Using Change Data Capture in SSIS - how to handle schema changes

I was asked to consider change data capture for a database recently. I can see that from the database perspective, its quite nice. When I considered how I'd do this in SSIS, it seemed pretty obvious that I might have a problem, but I wanted to
confirm here.
The database in question changes the schema about once per month in production. We have a lot of controls in our environment, so everytime a tables schema is changed, I'd have to do a formal change request to deal with a change to my code
base, in this case my SSIS package; it can be a lot of work. If I wanted to track the data changes for inserts, update and deletes using an SSIS package to send the data changes to the destination tables, would I have to change my SSIS package
with every schema change, or is there a way to keep the exact same SSIS package with CDC without having to change it every month?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith,
What is your exact requirement?
If you want to capture the object_created, object_deleted or object_altered informations, you can try using
Extended events .
As mentioned in your OP:
"If I wanted to track the data changes for inserts, update and deletes using an SSIS package to send the data changes to the destination tables, would I have to change my SSIS package with
every schema change, or is there a way to keep the exact same SSIS package with CDC without having to change it every month?"
If you want the databases in two different environments to be in sync, then take periodic
backup and apply(restore) on the another destination DB.
(or)
you can also try with
SQL Server replication if it is really needed.
As I understand from your description, if you want the table data & schema to be in sync in two different database:
then create job [script that will drop the destination DB table & create the copy of source DB table ] as per your requirement:
--CREATE DATABASE db1
--CREATE DATABASE db2
USE db1
GO
CREATE TABLE tbl(Id INT)
USE db2
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM SYS.OBJECTS WHERE name = 'tb1' and TYPE = 'u')
DROP TABLE dbo.tb1
SELECT * INTO db2.dbo.tb1 FROM db1.dbo.tbl
SELECT * FROM dbo.tb1
--DROP DATABASE db1,db2

Upgrade of Database with Oracle Change Data Capture

Hello,
We are upgrading and moving our database to a different server.
The move is from 10G R1 database on Solaris to 11G R2 on Linux.
Our database uses Oracle Change Data Capture.
What is the best way to perform this migration? Unlike in the approach below, ideally, it would be without any manual steps to drop and recreate CDC subscriptions, change tables, etc.
Thanks.
Considerations for Exporting and Importing Change Data Capture Objects
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B13789_01/server.101/b10736/cdc.htm#i1027532
Starting in Oracle Databse 10g, Oracle Data Pump is the supported export and import utility for Change Data Capture. Change Data Capture change sources, change sets, change tables, and subscriptions are exported and imported by the Oracle Data Pump expdp and impdp commands with the following restrictions:
After a Data Pump full database import operation completes for a database containing AutoLog Change Data Capture objects, the following steps must be performed to restore these objects:
1. The publisher must manually drop the change tables with the SQL DROP TABLE command. This is needed because the tables are imported without the accompanying Change Data Capture metadata.
2. The publisher must re-create the AutoLog change sources, change sets, and change tables using the appropriate DBMS_CDC_PUBLISH procedures.
3. Subscribers must re-create their subscriptions to the AutoLog change sets.

Hello,
I opened SR with Oracle Support, they are suggesting to perform full database import/export
Change Data Capture change sources, change sets, change tables, and subscriptions are exported and imported by the Oracle Data Pump expdp and impdp commands with the following restrictions.
Change Data Capture objects are exported and imported only as part of full database export and import operations (those in which the expdp and impdb commands specify the FULL=y parameter). Schema-level import and export operations include some underlying objects (for example, the table underlying a change table), but not the Change Data Capture metadata needed for change data capture to occur."
CDC has different implementation methods:
You may use the below query to determine-
select SOURCE_NAME, SOURCE_DESCRIPTION, CREATED, SOURCE_TYPE, SOURCE_DATABASE, SOURCE_ENABLED from change_sources;
– Synchronous CDC: with this implementation method you capture changes
synchronously on the source database into change tables. This method uses
internal database triggers to enable CDC. Capturing the change is part of the
original transaction that introduces the change thus impacting the performance
of the transaction.
– Asynchronous Autolog CDC: this implementation method requires a staging
database separate from the source database. Asynchronous Autolog CDC uses
the database's redo transport services to transport redo log information from
the source database to the staging database1. Changes are captured at the
staging database. The impact to the source system is minimal, but there is some
latency between the original transaction and the change being captured.
As suggested in the document-
Change Data Capture objects are exported and imported only as part of full database export and import operations (those in which the expdp and impdb commands specify the FULL=y parameter). Schema-level import and export

SCCM 2012 r2 Deploy USMT Don´t Restore User State

Hi everybody
I am migrating my computers from Win Xp to Windows 8.1,
with SCCM 2012 R2 with HardLink, my problem is that USMT does not restore the user state on all my computers, it does in some and not in others. the only difenrecia between the teams is the computer model and brand (Hp and Dell).
I use USMT 5.0 to capture the user state running on Xp and restored with USMT 6.3 for Win 8.1 (Now run the hotfix from Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2910552 and it´s work )
Also try SMP, capture user state ... but not restores either ...
Anyone have any idea what might be happening

Can you help me about change data captures in 10.2.0.3

Hi,
I made research about Change Data Capture and I try to implement it between two databases for two small tables in 10g release 2.MY CDC implementation uses archive logs to replicate data.
Change Data Capture Mode Asynchronous autolog archive mode..It works correctly( except for ddl).Now I have some questions about CDC implementation for large tables.
I have one senario to implement but I do not find exactly how can I do it correctly.
I have one table (name test) that consists of 100 000 000 rows , everyday 1 000 000 transections occurs on this table and I archive the old
data more than one year manually.This table is in the source db.I want to replicate this table by using Change Data Capture to other stage database.
There are some questions about my senario in the following.
1.How can I make the first load operations? (test table has 100 000 000 rows in the source db)
2.In CDC, it uses change table (name test_ch) it consists of extra rows related to opearations for stage table.But, I need the orjinal table (name test) for applicaton works in stage database.How can I move the data from change table (test_ch) to orjinal table (name test) in stage database? (I don't prefer to use view for test table)
3.How can I remove some data from change table(name test_ch) in stage db?It cause problem or not?
4.There is a way to replicate ddl operations between two database?
5. How can I find the last applied log on stage db in CDC?How can I find archive gap between source db and stage db?
6.How can I make the maintanence of change tables in stage db?

Asynchronous CDC uses Streams to generate the change records. Basically, it is a pre-packaged DML Handler that converts the changes into inserts into the change table. You indicated that you want the changes to be written to the original table, which is the default behavior of Streams replication. That is why I recommended that you use Streams directly.

Yes, it is possible to capture changes from a production redo/archive log at another database. This capability is called "downstream" capture in the Streams manuals. You can configure this capability using the MAINTAIN_* procedures in DBMS_STREAMS_ADM package (where * is one of TABLES, SCHEMAS, or GLOBAL depending on the granularity of change capture).

A couple of tips for using these procedures for downstream capture:
 1) Don't forget to set up log shipping to the downstream capture database. Log shipping is setup exactly the same way for Streams as for Data Guard. Instructions can be found in the Streams Replication Administrator's Guide. This configuration has probably already been done as part of your initial CDC setup.
 2) Run the command at the database that will perform the downstream capture. This database can also be the destination (or target) database where the changes are to be applied.
 3) Explicitly define the parameters capture_queue_name and apply_queue_name to be the same queue name. Example:
 capture_queue_name=>'STRMADMIN.STREAMS_QUEUE'
 apply_queue_name=>'STRMADMIN.STREAMS_QUEUE'

Change Data Capture How to Tell which you are running Sync or Asyn

Hi ,
I am taking over a new system that has change data capture running, but Im really confused how this is running. Most of the CDC is set up using Sync(triggers), but I have about 5 tables that DO NOT have system generated triggers on them. I know Streams is NOT running/configured. I know Capture is not running/configured (because nothing in DBA_CAPTURE table). I can tell that these 5 tables are still getting updated in the change table schema. I can not figure out how the 5 tables that DO NOT have triggers on them are updating the change data set tables.
I had thought the the 5 tables, must be configured with HOTLOG, but when I look at the CHANGE_SETS table they all (including these 5 tables) are set to CHANGE SOURCE NAME = SYNC SOUCE. I would expected that to be HOTLOG_SOURCE. So I "assume" they aren't set up using Asnc. hot log mode. So maybe the other Async modes are used, but not pushed to another database? Is that possible?
Any other ideas on how to figure out how the CDC is set up for these 5 tables?
thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply, but I think I must have not stated the problem clearly. I dont WANT to set the source I want to figure out how this CDC is working. I see ALL the sources are currently set to SYNC_SOURCE. Almost all of the tables are set up with system triggers on them, but 5 dont have system triggers, yet the source says SYNC_SOURCE. I did validate that the change tables are getting updated for these tables. my question is how are they getting updated? I "assume" since they dont have system triggers ont eh table they aren't synchoronus cdc (like the other tables are). yet the source says SYNC_SOURCE. What am I missing? How can I tell if the redo log is populating those changes tables? Im pretty sure it is (Becuase there aren't triggers or jobs running), but Im curious if there is a way to tell for sure.
Thanks,

I would like to know how to draw up a list in a cell (like a pull-down menu) to ease data capture, but I don't know how to do that ! Do you get the idea ? Thanks !

You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

I have lost all my notes data after restore. Anyone know how to retrieve notes after restore?

I have lost all my notes data after restore. Anyone know how to retrieve notes after restore?
I havent' took any backup of my notes in icloud. The moment I enter the password after restore my notes will be empty. The only option to get notes back is that after restore skip entering icloud password. But any time I enter icloud password anywhere again my notes will be empty. I have huge data saved in my notes. Apple need to look into this issues very seriously. This is the 5th time I restoring my iphone today just to get my note back.

I have the issue with losing all my notes and I don't even know why. I can't remember changing any email account info. What happened to them?

OWB Support for Change Data Capture

Hi All,
Has anyone got OWB working with the Change Data Capture feature in the Oracle 9i database? I understand that CDC works by publishing changes through an advanced queue, which in theory OWB 9.0.4 upwards can have as a data source, but there doesn't appear to be any explicit support within the GUI for capturing CDC changes.
I'm also working on the assumption that we're talking about Synchronous CDC as found in 9i. 10g comes with Asynchronous CDC which I guess presents a different interface to the receiving program.
So - is there any support for 9i Change Data Capture in OWB, and has anyone got this to work in practice?
thanks
Mark

Mark,
There is currently no explicit support for the 9i CDC. You can use Advanced Queues to propagate the changes, but you will have to custom-build the capture infrastructure on the source side (set up the CDC, enqueue the changes in the appropriate form into the AQ etc.)
OWB will explicitly support CDC (10g async, which is the least invasinve method) in our next major release currently scheduled to be release in November of this year.

"Delete data and restore" option in Nokia N8

I want to restore my N8 to fresh state as I have installed and uninstalled too many apps and they all have created and left a lot of files on C drive even after uninstalling them. They have ocupied some space on C drive.
I am going for "Delete data and restore" option in phone management. I will back up all data with Nokia Suite before the procedure. I just want to know what all apps which are installed by default will be lost. Please enumerate every app or thing that will be lost.
I know that default wallpapers, songs will be lost. I'm interested in default apps only. Likes dictionary, Zip, Communicator, Video editor, Photo editor, My Nokia, Recorder, Shazam, Msg. reader, Adobe reader, Nat Geo, Movie Teasers, YouTube, E! etc. I have mentioned most here, may have missed some. Please enlist in detail.
Thanks a lot.
One more thing, this are should be improved by Nokia-uninstalling any app should remove it completely without any footprints.

If you go to this page (and are logged in to the store) you will find all apps your previously downloaded and these are the apps that will be removed when you do a full reset. You can re-install them again afterwards provided you have not done so 10 times before.
Please follow the steps below if you decide to completely reset your N8 and start with a fresh device:
If you have data on the N8-00 you wish to keep create a backup using Nokia Suite but when asked deselect the option to include settings in the backup. You can start a backup through Tools>Backup in the Nokia Suite menu.
Now disconnect your N8-00 from the PC and select the offline profile, press the on/off switch and from the menu which appears select and activate the profile offline.
Enter the code *#7370# followed by the security code 12345. Please be aware this reset may take a while. Your N8-00 will restart when finished.
After the N8-00 restarts go through the Device First Use sequence to setup the N8-00 correctly.
Now connect the N8-00 to your PC again and let Nokia Suite install the requires files on N8-00. After this (re)install the latest system update. When you go to the update screen in Nokia Suite your will either be presented by a system update or you can choose to re-install the current (up to date) version again.
After the update verify if there are any additional updates and install these as well.
After this you can restore the backup if you made one.
