What is the recommended procedure for upgrading the OS?

I'm a creative cloud subscriber and am about to perform an upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8. Has this scenario been tested? Should I deactivate and/or uninstall my Adobe products before the upgrade, and then reinstall after? Will this be considered a 'new' computer, and cost me another install?
Let me know if there is any documentation available for 'best-practices' when upgrading an OS with Adobe products installed.
Thank you.

The only thing would be an adapter, for example World Travel Adapter Kit from the Apple Store.
The power supply will accept the 240V input in Europe.

HT1338 Do you have a recommended procedure for upgrading from os x 10.4 to 10.6? The machine is a MB with a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo.

What is the procedure to upgrade a MacBook 2GHz Core 2 Duo from Tiger (10.4.11) to Snow Leopard (10.6.6)? We have the new os and apps disks; wish to retain data files.

Back up the system, insert a retail DVD, double-click the installer, and follow the instructions. The retail DVD will be either 10.6 or 10.6.3; Mac OS X 10.6.6 DVDs can't be used to upgrade.

Step by step procedure for Upgrade to ECC6.0

Hi,
I gained a lot from this forum . Can someone please mail me at

step by step procedure for upgrade .
Will award full points for helpful documents..
With regards,

SAP defined a roadmap for upgrade.
1) Project Preparation
Analyze the actual situation
Define the objectives
Create the project plan
Carry out organizational preparation for example identify the project team
2)Upgrade Blueprint
The system and components affected
The mapped business processes
The requirements regarding business data
3)Upgrade Realization -- In this phase the solution described in the design phase is implemented in a test environment. This creates a pilot system landscape, in which the processes and all their interfaces can be mapped individually and tested on the functional basis.
4)Final Preparation for Cutover -- Testing, Training, Minimizing upgrade risks, Detailed upgrade planning
5)Production Cutover and Support
The production solution upgrade
Startup of the solutions in the new release
Post processing activities
Solving typical problems during the initial operation phase.
SAP expects at least 2 to 3 months for Upgrade and that again depends on project scope and complexity and various other factors.
STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
     Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
     Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary objects that have been modified by the client. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
     After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified. This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
     Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
     Then we need to move Z/Y Objects. Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is
     Includes
     Function Groups / Function Modules
     Programs / Reports
     OSS Notes
     SAP Repository Objects
     SAP Data Dictionary Objects
     Domains, Data Elements
     Tables, Structures and Views
     Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
     BDC Programs
     Print Programs
     SAP Scripts, Screens
     User Exits

What are Novells recommended settings for policies

Hello,
Who can tell me please what are Novells recommended settings for policies? Should we make a few big Policy where everything is handled (for example a policy for standalone workstations, one for desktop PCs, one for notebooks etc..) or single policies (for example "Desktop Wallpaper", "Enable Active Desktop", or "Turn off Aero Shake window minimizing mouse gesture" and so on) and put them in a PolicyGroup. What is the best way?

The fewer the policies the better.
Generally Folks do something such as a WS assigned policy as a baseline
and then a user one to over-ride.
Trying to create one policy per setting would likely cause windows great
confusion as well as being very slow.

What is the correct procedure for upgrading to aperture 3.4

I am working in South Sudan and am shortly going to be in a place where I can download all the updates. The last time I did an update was around 2 weeks ago.
I presume that there will be updates for Mountain Lion, iPhoto and Aperture, plus a whole pile of iOS updates. From the support questions I see that there is a number of people having problems.
I presume that the first thing to do will be to rebuild the library of aperture.
What is the correct procedure after that?

If I do an upgrade through AppStore, and find it does not work, do I uninstall first by removing to trash? What do you mean by revert to an earlier version, and which previous version of Aperture should I use.
Neville,
So you did buy Aperture from the AppStore?
Then move the Aperture application to the Trash, but do not empty it, just in case
Sign into the AppStore and reinstall. In this case you do not need to revert to an earlier version. If the AppStore installer does not find an Aperture in your Applications folder, it will have to make a full install, and no incompatible frameworks should remain, as is the problem with the partial upgrades right now.
Yes, I have a bootable clone,
And have you checked, if you really can boot from your clone? Just being very cautious.
Do you use facebook? Some posters are having problems, even after reinstalling, if the want to publish to Facebook. Post back, if you encounter that problem.
Good Luck

Recommended procedure for SOLMAN_SETUP when CUA is Active

We have upgraded to Ehp1/SP20 in Solution Manager. As recommended, we want to use the guided procedure SOLMAN_SETUP to automatically generate the roles and userids required in the managed systems. DEV/BWD/PID etc. We use CUA and it is active in the managed systems so the Userids, Roles, Profiles etc are not in the managed system nor are they in the CUA parent client.
What is the recommended approach/Best Practice to configure Solution Manager with CUA active?
TIA

HI,
Please refer to the RCA- User Administration Guide.
This is under https://service.sap.com/diagnostics.
The guide contains all the details, including the scenario for CUA, closely follow the guide and make sure everything is in place for authorizations.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to revert for any issues.

General Recommended Procedures for Restarts in BI Apps ETL process

I have two question...
What are recommended procedures to follow if informatica abends occur in the ETL batch? For example, increasing the error count or copying the program to another folder and executing, then marking the step complete in DAC?
I had the error count increased and was going to restart the step. DAC documentation states to then update the status of the task to queued and restart the etl flow. Unfortunately, for some reason the etl flow won't start. Prior times I had just left as failed and restarted however this time I figured I would follow the documentation. so then I went in and marked the flow complete..now when I try to starta new one..nothing happens. has anyone seen this before?

in the past when restarting...due to a timeout error..we would always just go to current run and select start and it would restart...however the documentation for DAC says to update the status to queue (from failed) prior to restarting...so I did that. For some reason...with the status as queued..the flow would not execute....so based on documentation for failed run it says you can mark it as complete which is what we did...however that causes the last step to not execute..we were only 3 tasks from completion when this occured and I checked the PLP_ARsnapshot sessions and feel comfortable that we can not run those. If the end date of the last completed becomes the start date of the next run..then if I run the last session in the execution plan which marks complete, then our next run should grab the correct dates. I would NEVER take this approach if I new we were not 3 tasks from the bottom. However if we restart from the day we just got near completed..i would think I would have bigger issues.

Recommendations for Upgrading

I purchased a W520 last year around this time.
Have been very happy with it so far. I am at that point now where I am looking for more.
What is the first upgrade I should do?
I have...
- 8GB of ram
-160 GB SSD it came with (thinking about upgrading here)
- i7 2760
-windows 7 pro
I have never cloned hard drives before is it hard?
Thanks

The W520 is a relatively new model. (Certain users would rather hang on to it than upgrading to the latest W530.) That means all the components cannot be considered "out of date." The main bay, in particular, supports SATA 6Gbit/s or, as certain people put it, SATA III.
Your 160GB SSD, which I suppose to be Intel, supports SATA 3Gbit/s. You may want to upgrade to a SSD of higher storage capacity and, most likely, the new SSD supports SATA 6Gbit/s although I doubt the increase in transfer speed will bring any perceptible improvements.
I'd recommend bumping the RAM up to 16GB total. Although your applications might not need all of it, Windows SuperFetch can take full advantage of the available RAM.
Cloning? Use Acronis True Image, for example. Very easy.

Procedure for upgrading V3 to V5

What steps should be taken to upgrade Version 3 to 5

1. Backup everything, just in case...
2. Install Lr5 and open your Lr3 catalog with it - it'll create a copy of the catalog that is in Lr5 format.
3. Optional: view Lr5 tutorials (and/or read Lr5 documentation), esp. how to edit using newer process version: PV2012 (same PV as introduced in Lr4).
4. Optional: after verifying Lr5 is operational, and catalog is intact, delete Lr3 catalog, and uninstall Lr3 program.
Note: trial is same as registered software, only difference is whether Lr is happy with the reg key (and therefore stops nagging you about it).

Procedure for Upgrading My Hard Drive

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro full of 1.5 TB+ hard drives to store video and other files. My primary drive, however, is only 320 GB and since it is used to hold temporary files while editing and converting video, I have completely filled it up several times and had to move stuff around to get some free space back.
Ever since the drive was maxed out, my Mac has been running really slow. I checked Drive Genius 3 for fragmentation, and it says my drive is 60% fragmented, so I'm guessing this is where my performance problems are coming from. I bought a new 2 TB drive that I plan to swap out. My only question is how to go about restoring the data.
I have been backing up with Time Machine for quite a while, so once I swap the drive, should I do a Restore System from Backup, or should I reinstall, then use the Migration Assistant?
Thanks

There are a few ways to do this..
1. Buy Carbon Copy Cloner and use it to create an image of your current disk.. install the new disk, then create new system disk using Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Drag and drop all your user files to a backup drive including iTunes and iPhoto libraries.. install your new disk and then drag and drop these files back in. This approach requires you to reinstall MacOS from the system disks 1&2 that came with the original computer, install subsequent upgrades with 10.6.6 Combi upgrade software, and application install disks(images) including iLife '11.
3. If you used TC to backup your entire disk then "restore" would work as long as you can boot from another disk before you attempt to restore using TC. I am not sure how this in done though so you should get help before you attempt this approach. Some people have had problems associating the old TC backup image with the new user account on the new disk. Maybe macjack (from above) can offer advice on the correct procedure to follow. I just don't know what it is..
I did a hard disk upgrade on my MBP with approach #2 and a 750GB disk from macsales.com. It worked out fine.

Suugested procedure for upgrading

A recurring theme I see in the posts of those having problems, is that they just clicked on "Upgrade" instead of using either "Archive and Install" or "Erase and Install"
You should never, never use the "Upgrade" option when installing a .0 release. This is because coorupt or incompatable files may cause problems with the new OS.
The Archive & Install and Erase & Install procedures are the recommended ways to install a major .0 upgrade, with the latter probably being the best for "purity", though the price is having to re-install all of you applications. I use the Archive & Install method. However, when going from the .0 to the .1, then .2, etc. updates the "Update" procedure works fine. But I still backup beforehand.

A Mitchell wrote:
There is no shortage of posts from users who chose the Clean Install option and still encountered problems on restarting.
Really? I haven't seen a one. I suppose it could happen due to a hardware failure/incompatibility or incompatible plug-ins in the user's library folder.
Just as there is no shortage of posts from users who chose an Upgrade path and encountered no trouble whatsoever.
That's true. I still would never do an upgrade on a major version release like this. That is just asking for trouble.
Obviously if a simple Upgrade were a road to disaster,
There is no such thing as a "simple" upgrade. An upgrade is the most complicated install method there is and one most likely to cause problems.
then Apple would not have the installer set to default to this method.
I think that Apple considers it "not their problem", and I think they are right. The vast majority of 10.5 installs (via upgrade or anything else) have been fine. I think Apple could have done a better job of warning people that they had 3rd party system modifications and that an upgrade install, while still low risk, is more risky than normal. And I've been a good boy and submitted this idea via the official Apple feedback page.

[Gnome 3.8] Recommended way for upgrade? [SOLVED]

Hi folks,
upgrading Gnome from version 3.6 to 3.8 by using "pacman -Syu" doesn't seem to be the best way to do this. When I gave it a try yesterday, pacman asked me on a lot of packages (Gnome 3.6) if I want to replace them with different packages from Gnome 3.8 (looks as if the packages are arranged/renamed in a new way). In the end, pacman stopped because of some conflicting dependencies.
So, would it be better to re-install Gnome using
# pacman -S gnome gnome-extra
although Gnome is already installed on my system?
Or do you know any other appropriate way to upgrade from 3.6 to 3.8?
Thanks

WRONG! !
pacman -Syu is the only way you should be upgrading. Remember, partial upgrades are not supported and will lead to a clusterfuck
Actually, like the OP, I originally tried #pacman -Syu, which because of at least some Gnome 3.8 packages hitting testing, which I have enabled, would not succeed mainly because of the changes made within gnome-games and it's dependency with gnome-games-extra-data. I had to manually remove gnome-games-extra-data first before running #pacman -Syu again and answering yes to all the name changed gnome-games to be replaced by the new counterparts. I rebooted after that and ran the pacman upgrade command again which came up clean. I was still experiencing some little issues here and there and it didn't seem like everything 3.8 got pulled in and subsequent pacman runs were wanting to downgrade some of the packages I just upgraded. I read in this thread below, where folks had been testing gnome 3.8 from unstable, a suggestion after it hit testing, that running #pacman -S testing/gnome-extra was necessary to get everything working:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1257391
When I later ran #pacman -S testing/gnome testing/gnome-extra, it wasn't really a matter of cherry-picking anything anymore than running that without testing enabled would be. In this case, it was merely reinstalling all the gnome and gnome-extra newest stuff (and maybe pulling in anything that somehow got missed) because of the quirks I was seeing with pacman's behavior. Normally, pacman seems to pull from testing fine if something newer is there. I keep the testing repos enabled and, at least once a day, run #pacman -Syu to obtain my updates / upgrades. I also install packages that are new to my system with #pacman -S pkgname, normally allowing pacman to pull in whatever it decides per it's conf file. I wasn't recommending that the OP turn on testing, grab what he wanted without doing a full upgrade first, then turn off testing, because I know that will quickly lead to a borked system.
