Worst case scenario for spam update error

hi friends
i need to know what is the worst case scenario if our support package stack update(SPAM) process fails. I am asking this question because we dont have a DR system.I mean we dont have test server to check our restore & recovery. We have ECC 5.0 and our SPAM updates are long overdue. I need to convince the management to prioritize this activity and my boss thinks that since we dont have test server if anything goes wrong then we might have to restore the db which he is not in favor of.
i would really help if you could provide me some suggestions.
thanks in advance.
regards

Hello Nathan,
Very first you need to convince your management that since you didn't had the Support package update in your system actually you are not having the latest corrections available in the system. As per Best practise you should keep the systems to the latest available support package levels.
Now, to your question.Support package update is a easy but critical activity. Easy because it is bit effortless and critical because major changes are involved with the corrections. UPdate for BASIS support package can bring your system to HIghly unstable state (I am just talking about Worst case scenarios) as they update the system basis tables. Application component packages if aborted due to some errors can have problems in the business cycles.
So anyways you'll have to keep proper backup of your system available just to make sure if, by chance you are not able to complete the SP update under the given downtime window you should have the possibility to restore and release the systems to the business users.
This will not be the new thing you'll be doing as majority of the customers don't have DR server to the rescue.
You can discuss with your team and decide a suitable backup strategy.
I hope it helps.
Best Regards
NIraj

HT5787 How can I recover my password if my account is blocked and I have no access to my email? And, worst case scenario, I forgot the answers for security questions? How can I proceed further?

Hi,
How can I recover or re-activate my password if my account is blocked and I have no access to my email adress associated with my apple id, and worst case scenario, I forgot the answers for security questions...
Thanks,

I forgot my password
Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
I forgot my security answers and have no rescue email
Go to https://getsupport.apple.com click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'.

Typical business case scenarios for SharePoint 2013 Apps

What are the typical real time business case scenario for 1. SharePoint Hosted apps 2. Auto Hosted apps 3. provider hosted Apps? Why people choose any of this model apps model in comparison to typical On-Premise solution?
Another question comes is when should one go for On-Premise solution rather than Apps? What are real time scenarios?

Let's discuss first whether to develop apps or full trust solution.
Talking about technical aspect, On-Premise solution is popular choice for organizations who have SharePoint hosted on premise (not SharePoint Online). However, if you are using SharePoint Online, there's no choice except Apps (and possibly sandbox but deprecated).
So for SharePoint Online only viable solution is developing apps. However for on-premise you can develop full trust or apps. However since apps requires a bit more configuration and not yet full feature set as you can do with full trust, most people are still
developing full trust solution on premise.
Talking about business requirement at hand, you can develop apps (even in on-premise), if your requirement is really looks like an app. For example, you would like to develop a SharePoint solution, that will show data from SAP inside SharePoint. The solution
mostly nothing to do with SharePoint but calling SAP services to perform stuffs. So you can develop an apps and deploy inside SharePoint. Another example is import CSV files in SharePoint list, you can write an apps. But mostly I think you need to decide whether
to develop apps depends on the Apps API ability. The API is still very limited in features/functionalities. So even if your requirement looks like apps you can't develop apps if the current SharePoint Apps API doesn't support the functionality.
Now let's talk about which apps model you would like to use SharePoint Hosted apps means everything hosted inside SharePoint and no other external infrastructure is required. One example is the CSV file upload apps. However, with SharePoint hosted apps,
you can't use C# rather you just have javascript to develop the apps. There's rumours that auto hosted apps will be deprecated not sure but there's not more conceptual difference apart from where the apps is hosted (both hosted outside SharePoint). Provider/auto-hosted
apps will be running outside SharePoint (i.e., in IIS web site), and communicate to SharePoint through REST or client object model. One provider hosted apps in the office app market is adlib pdf conversion. The apps allows you to select multiple files and
covert them to pdf file. Basically the conversion site is hosted somewhere outside (in the provider's infrastructure). When you select all the files and click 'convert' from ribbon user is redirected to the provider site (different url) and the files are merged
and converted to pdf. Since it's outside of sharepoint, you can use any development language (C#, java, php etc.). The provider hosted app talks to sharepoint through REST or client object model.
So in summary, sharepoint hosted app has less complexity as it doesn't require another infrastructure and runs inside sharepoint. However you are limited to use only javascript to develop your apps. On the other hand with provider hosted apps, you can use
any development language but you need to consider extra level of security/complexity to integrate the app with sharepoint.

Thanks for this nice reply. Plz clarify if only Auto hosted apps will be deprecated or provider hosted apps also may be deprecated by MS?

Is apple working of a fix for this update error. 8.0.1 needs 610mb of space.

Is apple working of a fix for this update error? 8.0.1 needs 610mb of space. Every time I try to install the latest update, I get this error: "Updating to iOS 8.0.2 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available." There is way more space than that on my phone, (about 12gB) and no matter what i do, I keep getting this error. And what the heck are media sync options?
Also, my phone will not backup, giving me another error. iTunes could not backup this phone, because it could not back up to this computer, or something to that effect. Even trying to manually backup to iCloud, i get the same message about this computer. Seems like it started with the last update to iTunes.

Dear Domenick,
This issue you are facing is most probably because of a force reset of SPAM queue in IMPORT_PROPER phase.
You might have reset the queue forcibly which has created inconsistency in the system and has destoyed SPAM transaction
related program sources.
Now in order to resolve this you can try out a small fix.
You can pick up the class/interface CL_OCS_RT_ANALYSIS============CP from a system which has already been patched with SAPKD70142. You can transport this class to the affected system.
Once done, try to do the SPAM import. If the SPAM import is successfull it is fine.
If it not successfull, there is no other way apart from restoring the sytem since the SPAM sources are corrupt.

Abhishek

SAINT/SPAM Update error

Hii master,
I have a problem SAINT/SPAM update.
I update SAINT/SPAM 7.01/0052
but have a error :
please information resolution master..

Hi
You should re-construct missing object in the application layer, since it is missing & it can be done by any one of the option as below;
1) By re-transport - Check with your ABAP team for the transport, looks like they created this Z index (ZIR) for table IMRG & you can re-import the required transport request.
2) This should be performed by DDIC user, You can re-construct it from SE14 as below; -
SE14 -> objects IMRG --> Edit --> this will display the screen as per Siva's update.
From here, go to Menu opton "Table", then Select "Reconstrct" this should create the missing object at application layer or say runtime objects.

Solution for AAM Updater Error : U44M1I210

After getting Creative Cloud a couple of days ago then running into Updater Error U44M1l210 over and over and making the mistake of calling tech support (which was no help - "just reset it / download from the site" - even though resetting does nothing and the site doesn't have all the updates AAM does), I've finally got a working solution.
Essentially it's a permissions issue. Not sure why it affects some and not others, but I was logged in as an administrator and it still failed to have permissions to update despite admin password entry.
So, here's what you do. You need to open AAM and Update with superuser permissions.
1. Open Terminal
2. Copy and Paste the following, then hit enter:
sudo "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager.app/Contents/MacOS/PDApp"
3. It will prompt you for your password, enter it.
4. The Adobe Application Manager will open with sudo (elevated/superuser) permissions.
5. Open one of your Creative Cloud programs.
6. Go to Help>Update...
7. The updater dialog will open. Update as normal, it will work this time.

After multiple phone calls and emails to tech support about this issue I was hoping that this would solve the issue for me. I've tried command line fixes a few times now and like the others this one doesn't fix the issue for me.
Still get:
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I210
I can install applications but can't update them (OSX 10.9). I guess I could delete and install each time there is an update, but major PITA.
Unfortunately calling Adobe tech support is a very frustrating experience. I've had dropped calls, had to repeat my information every time (spelling out each letter of my email address with a word) and finally get offered the same solution that doesn't work.

Case statement for interactive report error

The case computation does not work for me :
statement
CASE WHEN G = 7 THEN G ELSE C END
Error message ' Invalid computation expression. THEN'
It does not seem to matter what the case statement is IE :
CASE WHEN I = 'DEMO' THEN 'LOW' ELSE 'HIGH' END
I have tried this on the Sample Application that is installed on my oracle workspace account
Column G : order number ( number)
Column C:order total (Number)
Column I:sales Rep ( String)
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong ?
Thanks

Worst case scenario backup?

I have a general question about backing up my files. I currently have an external hard drive connected to my iMac. I keep my work files on my internal hard drive and time machine backs them up to my external hard drive which is always connected. If I ever had a lightning strike (which my neighbor just had), I would most likely lose both in one shot. Of course I'm also using a surge protector on that outlet, but really don't know how reliable those are with lightning. With approx. 20 gb of files, is iCloud storage a better option? Since these files are constantly edited, would that take forever to keep uploading revisions?

With SugarSync you can select any folders on your Mac to sync. It does block-level incremental uploading which makes uploading changed files a very quick process. Changes to the folders are automatically detected while the program is running and uploaded - a remarkably quick process as only the individual blocks of a file which has changed are uploaded
It doesn't have a background process: you leave the application running (it appears in the menu bar) - the Preferences give you the choice of having it run automatically at startup. There is a free 5GB plan: paid plans start at $4.99 per month ($49.99 p.a.) for 30GB. It's received good reviews: I've been using it and found it's flexible and easy to use; it would be my choice of the available methods.
(I have no connection with this company.)
Some other online services are examined here: http://rfwilmut.net/missing3
This is useful in case of a disaster like a fire or a lightning strike, but you would also be advised to do local backups, particularly as there is a practical limit to the amount of data you can reasonably store online. A clone is useful as you can boot up from it if the internal disk fails: if you want to be ultra-cautious you could alternate two and keep one off-site.

Worst case scenario going on,..

okay my old computer had itunes,but now its gone.everything was wiped out.no more itunes,and i didnt have any of my songs,photos,videos backed up. my ipod still has everything in it (thank god) and i just downloaded itunes a couple of minutes ago. Now i changed the settingss so tht itunes wouldnt automatically sync the emmpty library with the ipod. and im trying to drag and drop the files from my ipod to the library,but it wont let me. Is there i can do this,or am i stuck this way?
also,i have my ipod conected right now,and its showing its summary page,and at the bottom it says 'sync",if i click that will all my content dissappear?or will all of it get transferred to itunes?

I've never used that utility. I actually paid for this one
http://www.zeleksoftware.com/liberator.htm
because I it works well and has a few extra features, such as saving playlists.
But yamiPod probably works the same way. The utility probably asks for a location to put the files. Select a place that you can easily access later, in your hard drive. Let the utility do it's thing and copy the files to that location.
Once it is done, spot check the location to confirm the files are there. Then run iTunes. First, go to preferences Advanced tab to check two things. The checkbox for +Keep iTunes Music folder organized+ should be checked, as well as the one for +Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library+. If those options are checked, when you add the songs to the iTunes library, iTunes will make a copy and put it into your designated +iTunes Music+ folder AND organize the song files by Artist and then by Album. iTunes will access the copied music files from the +iTunes Music+ folder going forward.
To get the songs files into your iTunes library, open a Windows Explorer (or My Computer) window to show the location where yamiPod placed the files. Drag the folder with all the files from that window and drop it onto an open iTunes window; drop it onto the main pane that shows your Music LIBRARY. iTunes should look for all the music files in that folder and put them into your iTunes library (as well as copy the files to your +iTunes Music+ folder).
Once iTunes finishes, you should spot check your +iTunes Music+ folder to makes sure the files are there. You can also do a +Get Info+ on a few random songs, and make sure their files are stored in your +iTunes Music+ folder.

Worst case scenario: Dead HDD, no backup. What can I do?

Hello,
So today was not a good day. My Macbook's HDD just upped and died, for no apparent reason. It was working as normal, shut down, it hangs, I restart, and I see a "?" and if I put my ear very close to the Macbook, I can hear faint clicking repeatedly. I took it to the Apple store and my nightmare was confirmed.
Here's the thing: they won't get the replacement HDD until Wednesday, and they offered to attempt to get the data off my old HDD for $150. I said no, thinking I had made backup DVD+R's at home. Turns out, I really didn't
At this point, I would indeed have them try to salvage my data for $150, but the HDD is sitting here right next to me, and if I shake it I can hear something rattling around. I have memories of a broken spindle arm of a iPod. I'm thinking that this is not salvageable.
What do you guys think? I have until Wednesday, as they told me once the new HDD comes in, I have to give them the old one back. Can Apple indeed do it? What if they can't? Anyone else?
Thanks much.

Hi, sorry to hear about your problem. There are several ways you can try and recover your files. One way is to purchase a utility like DataRescue 2 that may be able to recover your information. The other is like was said before, have apple or someone else try and do it for you at a high price. One way that you may not have heard or tried (its very old) is to remove the hard drive from the macbook and put it in ziplock bag (make sure its well sealed) and then put the bag in you freezer for a while. Then remove the bag, and reinstall your hard drive, restart and try to copy the data from it to another hard disk. Here is a link to research this in google: http://www.google.com/search?q=harddisk+infreezer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Anyway good luck,and regards

Worst case scenarions for Oracle database

Hi.
I have Oracle 11g on my personal computer (XP) and would like to run through the situations that could arise in a production environment - fir example losing datafiles, losing a control file, incomplete recovery, DR rebuild etc. The intention is to improve my understanding.
Can someone offer any advises on how to best do this? Is there perhaps a source from the internet that I can use?
Thanks you.

Thanks you.With Data Recovery Advisor being introduced in 11g, I am not really sure that the backup/recovery skills would be requiring very huge amount of precision. Sure enough that all the things which are doable in the past can still be done on 11g as well if you happen to avoid the tool path.
About the mishaps, there is no one site or I should say, any site which hosts them. So best would be to read the 11g Backup/Recovery guide and practice all what is mentioned there. If you can do it all and understand the nitty-gritty details about it, you would know almost all what can and does happen in real world. Other than that, try out your issues what you can think of.
And one last thing, if you are really serious about learning Oralce, learn it over any other operating system than windows, there is a lot that doesn't work in the way window does the things and that surely is a difference maker.

Time for an update i th

WELL VISTA HAS BEEN CONSUMER RELEASE GETTING ON FOR A FORTNIGHT NOW SO TO CAT AND DALE
please can we have an updated eta considering we the users blessed the march eta as a worst case scenario , in that we wouldnt think that CL would let its customers(financers) down that much... could they?

CL's new name is Cash-N-Run. No support whatsoever. Expensi've sound card is worthless without driver support. Cash-N-Run doesn't seem to care! My customers are bitching about these worthless but expensi've sound cards. Cash-N-Run is costing me & I'm pissed about it. Cash-N-Run says no Vista support. This company li'ves in the past. Not good in the computer world. Days are like years in the world of tech. I can remember XP driver updates being slow from this company also. I think it's time to dump Cash-n-Run!
