What's the least expensive way to upgrade from 10.4.11?

I have neglected to upgrade in a timely manner. Now what?

Hello, skip the incredibly expensive 10.5 Upgrade.
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

I won't use the phone's much tak time,but I'll want to be able to use internet, whilst on the move.
Appart from leave the phone at home. What is the most cost effective and practical way of doing this?

Assuming your phone is carrier locked to O2, put your phone in Airplane mode. This turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn both WiFi & Bluetooth back on.

To recover the photos from an iPod Classic you'll need to use third-party software and the photos gained will be quite low resolution.

What is the least expensive quality chroma key software...?

What is the least expensive chroma key software for the mac...
Also, I'm correct that using chroma key does not require that you go frame by frame, right?

You shouldn't really need 3rd party software, as FCP and FCE both come with decent keying filters, but I have heard good things of the FxFactory. I believe that software does keying (among other things).
And yes, as long as your green/blue/whatever background doesn't change in hue/saturation/luma inside the clip, you should not have to keyframe.

What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server)

Hi
What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server) , please let me know the steps to what would be the backup procedures and upgrades.
Regards
Gaurav

I'd suggest reading this guide to make sure you have prepared your environment to support 10.x first. The link below also contains the upgrade path to 10.0(1).
One of the ways you can do this is:
1/ Apply refresh upgrade cop file on all servers in cluster.
2/ Upgrade the cluster to 8.6(2). Take a backup of the cluster.
3/ Build a cluster of 8.6(2) servers on VMs, and assign them the same hostnames and IP address as the hardware cluster. (You may need to keep these on a separate network until switching off the hardware machines)
4/ Restore the backup taken from the hardware cluster on to the VM cluster.
5/ Upgrade VM cluster to 10.0(1).

Upgrading from BW 3.0B to BW 7.0 (Netweaver 2004s)
Introduction
This Wiki contains my teams experiences in upgrading our Business Warehouse System from 3.0B to BW 7.0.
Hopefully it will be useful to anyone else who's about to embark on this. If there's anything I've missed or got wrong, then please feel free to edit it or contact me and I'll try to explain.
Rob Moore - BW Manager, Edwards Limited.
Overview & Scope
This was to be a technical upgrade of BW only. The new BW 7.0 web functionality & tool suite which requires the Java stack rather than the ABAP stack was out of scope. We had heard that the latter was where most of the problems with the upgrade lay. Our plan is to wait for this part of BW 7.0 to become more stable. Also it has a big front end change and the business didn't have sufficient resource to cope with that much change management.
Drivers
3.0B at the end of its maintenance
Opportunities to do better reporting
Options to utilise BI Accelerator
Environment
Our R/3 system was at 4.6C and was not going to be upgraded. We have APO at version SCM4.0.
Our BW system is approximately 300 GB, with 125 global users. It was at version 3.0B SP 18
We have Development, Acceptance and Production environments.
Resource & Timescales
The Project ran for 3.5 months from Feb to May 2007. We used the following resources. The percentages are the approx. amount of their time spent on the project.
Project Manager * 1 70%
BW technical team * 3 50%
ABAP coder * 1 10%
SAP Systems Development expert * 1 20%
Basis * 1 25%
High Level Plan
These are the basic areas. We planned to complete this process for each environment in turn, learning our lessons at each stage and incorporating into revised plans for the next environment. However we did the Support Packs and Plug-Ins in quick succession on all environments to keep our full transport path open as long as possible.
Upgrade BW to the minimum support pack.
Install R/3 Plug-ins PI 2004.1
Run PREPARE on BW
Dbase upgrades (Database & SAP Kernel upgrade)
System Upgrade
Summary Task List
This list contains all the basic tasks that we performed. A more detailed check list is shown below for each of the headings.

Lessons Learnt
Testing is all! We picked up on a lot of issues, but would have picked up more if we'd had a full copy of our production environment to test over.
Our approach of doing a full upgrade on each environment before moving to the next one paid dividends in giving us experience of issues and timescales.
Write everything down as you go, so that by the time you get to upgrading production you've got a complete list of what to do.
We succeeded because we had people on our team who had enough experience in Basis and BW to be able to troubleshoot issues and not just read the manual.
The SAP upgrade guide is pretty good, if you can understand what they're on about...
Remember the users! The fact that the loads have been successful doesn't count for anything unless the users can see the data in Excel! There's a tendency to get caught up in the technology and forget that it's all just a means to an end.
Issues & Fixes
I've listed the main issues that we encountered. I have not listed the various issues where Transfer rules became Inactive, DataSources needed replication or we had to reinstall some minor Business Content.
Unfixed Issues
We could not fix these issues, seems like SP 13 will help.
Cant delete individual request from ODS
After PREPARE had been run, if we had a load failure and needed to set an ODS request to Red and delete it, we found that we could not. We raised an OSS with SAP but although they tried hard we couldn't get round it. We reset the PREPARE and still the issue persisted. Ultimately we just lived with the problem for a week until we upgraded production.
Error when trying to save query to itself
Any query with a re-usable structure cannot be saved (more thsan once!)
OSS 975510 fixed the issue in Dev and Acc, but NOT in Production! SP 13 may solve this once it's released.
Warning message when running some queries post-upgrade
Time of calculation Before Aggregation is obsolete. Not a big issue so we haven't fixed this one yet!
Process Chain Scheduling Timing error
Process chains get scheduled for the NEXT day sometimes and has to be manually reset.
See OSS 1016317. Implement SP13 to fix this. We will live with it for now .
Fixed Issues
Duplicate Fiscal Period values in Query
If you open up a drop down box ("Select Filter Value") for Fiscal Year/Period to filter your query, you are presented with duplicate entries for Month & Year.
Due to Fiscal Year Period InfoObject taking data from Master Data not InfoProvider. Thus it picks up all available periods not just Z2.
Auto-Emails being delayed
Emails coming from BW from process chains are delayed 2 hours on BW before being released
Due to userids that send these emails (e.g. ALEREMOTE) being registered on a diffferent timeazone (i.e. CET) from the BW system (i.e. GMT)
Pgm_Not_Found short dump
Whenever a query is run via RRMX or RSRT
Call transaction RS_PERS_ACTIVATE to Activate History and Personalisation
Characteristics not found
When running a query the warning message Characteristic does not exist is displayed for the following: 0TCAACTVT, 0TCAIPROV, 0TCAVALID
We activated the three characteristics listed and the warnings stopped. NO need to make them authorisation-relevant at this stage.(also did 0TCAKYFNM)
System generated Z pgms have disappeared
Post-upgrade the system Z-pgms ceased to exist
Discovered in Development so we compared with pre-upgraded Production and then recreated them or copying them from production.
Conversion issues with some Infoobjects
Data fails to Activate in the ODS targets
For the InfoObjects in question, set the flag so as not to convert the Internal values for these infoobjects
InfoObject has Conversion routine that fails, causing load to fail
The routine prefixes numeric PO Numbers with 0s. SD loads were failing as it was not able to convert the numbers. Presumably the cause of the failure was the running of the Pre-Prepare RSMCNVEXIT pgm.
Check the Tick box in the Update rule to do the conversion prior to loading rather than the other way round.
Requests fail to Activate on numeric data
Request loads OK (different from above issue) but fails to Activate
Forced conversion within the update rules using Alpha routine. Deleted Request and reloaded from PSA.
Database views missing after pre-PREPARE work
Views got deleted from database, although not from data dictionary
Recreated the views in the database using SE14.
Workbook role assignations lost
We lost a few thousand workbook assignments when we transported the role they were attached to into Production
The workbooks did not exist in Development, thus they all went AWOL. We wrote an ABAP program to re-assign them in production
Regression Testing Process
Introduction
We were limited to what we could do here. We didn't have a sandbox environment available. Nor did we have the opportunity to have a replica of our production data to test with, due to lack of disk space in Acceptance and lack of sufficient Basis resource.
Set up
We manually replicated our production process chains into test. We didn't have any legacy InfoPackages to worry about. We asked our super-users for a list of their "Top 10" most important queries and did a reverse transport of the queries from Production back into test (as we do not generally have a dev/acc/prodn process for managing queries, and they are mostly created solely in prodn). We made sure every application was represented. In retrospect we should have done some Workbooks as well, although that didn't give us any problems.
Actions
Prior to the various changes we loaded data via the Process chains and ran the example queries to give ourselves a baseline of data to test against. After the change we ran the same queries again and compared the results against the baseline. We tried to keep R/3 test environments as static as possible during this, although it wasn't always the case & we often had to explain away small changes in the results. After upgrading BW Development we connected it to Acceptance R/3, so that we had pre-upgrade (BW Acceptance) and post-upgrade (BW Development) both taking data from the same place so we could compare and contrast results on both BW systems. We did the same thing once BW Acceptance had been upgrading by connecting it (carefully!) to Production R/3. To get round the lack of disk space we tested by Application and deleted the data once that Application had been signed off. Once we got to System test we involved super-users to sign off some of the testing.
Security
We chose to implement the new security schema rather than choosing the option to stick with old. For us, with a relatively small number of users we felt we could get away with this & if it all went wrong, just temporarily give users a higher level role than they needed. Our security roles are not complex: we have end user, power-user and InfoProvider roles for each BW application, together with some common default roles for all. In the event we simply modified the default "Reports" role that all our users are assigned, transported it and it all went smoothly. Apart from the fact that everyone's workbooks are assigned to this role and so we "lost" them all !
Transport Freeze
Once you've upgraded Development you've lost your transport path. We planned around this as best we could and when absolutely necessary, developed directly in Acceptance or Production, applying those changes back to Development once the project was complete. Depending on what other BW projects you have running this may or may not cause you pain!
Web Applications
Dashboards
We had various dashboards designed via Web Application Designer. All these continued to function on the upgraded system. However there were various formatting changes that occurred e.g. Bar graphs were changed to line graphs, text formats on axes changed etc. SAP provides an upgrade path for moving your Web applications by running various functions. However we took the view that we would simply re-format our dashboards manually, as we didn't have very many to do. Plus the external IGS (see below) powered all our environments and needs upgrading separately as part of the SAP method. Thus we couldn't have tested the SAP path in Development without risking Production. Sticking with manual mods was a lower risk approach for us. We did find we had to re-activate some templates from BC to get some of the reports to continue to work.
Internet Graphics Server (IGS)
We had an external IGS server with v3.0B. Post-upgrade the IGS becomes part of the internal architecture of BW and thge external server is redundant. We found no issues with this; after the upgrade BW simply stops using the external IGS and no separate config was needed.

What is the least expensive option to export to a pdf form from forms central?

I have created forms in Forms Central and love the functionality but now I want to save it as a pdf file on my desktop and it says I need to purchase Adobe Pro to do this. Is there a less expensive option like the $1.99 Export to PDF that would work for this?

Assuming your phone is carrier locked to O2, put your phone in Airplane mode. This turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn both WiFi & Bluetooth back on.

What's the right/best way to publish from Captivate 7 for use in Presenter 9

Just upgraded to captivate 7 and have presenter 9. We are updating some old training courses created using Presenter with demos created in Captivate. I've gotten as far as upgrading the old .cp files to .cpx files and now am ready to publish the files within Captivate so I can import them into Presenter 9.
When I hit 'publish' in captivate there are options to publish as .swf and/or .html5. So I am trying to fugre out what will work best given what I'm trying to do. In presenter I don't see an option to import HTML5, only video files or .swf files, is that correct? in which case i need to publish as .SWF files? Is that the best way to do it in order to be able to import into Presenter 9?
If that's the case, and I need to have .SWF files, how do I choose which Flash Player version I want to use when I publish the files in Captivate? It's got the drop down box containing Flash 10, 10.2 and 11. My instinct would be to use the newest (flash 11). Is that correct? If not, why would I want to use a lower Flash version?
thank you!

Hi,
You can publish to either as .mp4 (Go to publish >Media >Mp4 ) or .swf from Captivate 7. In presenter 9 you do have an option to either import .swf or .mp4 files. See the image below to import these two formats in presenter:

What is the most portable way to print from the IPAD to a "standalone" printer

I am using an app called INVOICE 2 GO and I need to print invoices via the APP..... However, it looks for an airprint printer...
Looking around and not being able to find a "portable" solution, I am thinking that I may buy a HP P1102W laser printer and take it into customers shops when I need to print..
However, I do not want to be carrying a router, etc, to make it networked.
These printers that say "airprint"..... will the IPAD just be able to see the printer and "off I go"
There is a free lite version of INVOICE 2 GO if someone could try it before I commit and buy the printer.....
Thanks in advance all.
