  Note on this question / comment

  "To understand at the time where we upgrade repository portal.  In my opinion, who runs the configuration wizard PFRD is that fact for us.  I will go through the video.    And me who runs the IDM upgrades OID configuration wizard. »

  PFRD Configuration Wizard does not upgrades the repository of the portal, it creates just a portal 11g AS Instance against the repository Portal 10g's existing. The Upgrade Wizard upgrades site two-step

  1 put Update Wizard (option "upgrade intermediate level Instance") upgrades 11 g base instance configuration so that it matches the source portal AS10g instance configuration

  2 Upgrade Wizard (option "Upgrade the repository in metadata schemas") upgrades the repository Portal 10 g.

  It's a similar story for instant messaging, only the IM Upgrade Wizard upgrades the configuration file system and the GI database schemas in a go (IE there is no upgrade wizard option separated to "Upgrade the repository in metadata schemas")

  I think that the Viewlet created the PFRD and IDM Upgrade Guides whether clear.

  The verbal and demo explanation does not use the original location/Oracle HOme of the previously
  installed for the binary PFRD base.   It probably should.

  In addition, for some steps to follow to patch binaries PFRD, I'd put it:

  Step 4.  I am guessing that the patch will establish an another sub dir Disk1 and don't want to overwright
  installation of the initial PFRD, therefore, moves the Group of hotfixes as follows.

  CD/opt/web/install/PortalUpgradeAdvisor/pfrd
  960 ls - ltr

  Specify the installation location.  Always to

  and
  An Oracle home directory: as_2 # I bet it must be as_1 because that is where the initial PFRD install binary files has occurred.

  NOTE: The summary of the Installation in the video screen escape the Oracle Home is the previous specified during the initial installation. That is to say. PFRD_Binaries.   I guess I should have named that instead of taking the default as_1. At least I would have to have done that.  Well.  Maybe this story might help the next guy.

  Also

  NOTE: The Installation screen is not "from" group of patches as in the video where it says
  Install Oracle Portal, forms, reports, and discover the Group of hotfixes.
  

  Hi Charlie
  I'm a little confused by this feedback. Especially when you say that you see the option "install - do not configure. Should this option is visible only when you run the Basic 11.1.1.2 PFRD the software installer. The Group of hotfixes 11.1.1.4 has his own 'runInstaller'... and this will display what you see in the viewlet. You definitely run the installer from the directory of stage in the Group of hotfixes? (I'll do my own validation test - if I find something strange going on... I'll report.)

  I now take the following action

  1. I will put the Viewlet so it is clear that the Group of hotfixes is staged in a different place from the base 11.1.1.2 media
  2. provide that nothing must be running (because at this point, no instance of 11 g of construction has been configured)
  3. There's a "slippage" that illustrates the Middleware and Oracle Home entries in the screen "Location of Installation to specify" IE

  Middleware homepage: / u01/alca_portal/middleware
  Oracle home: PFRD_Binaries

  However, you will see that this slide for 2 seconds (which is an error) and if you miss it probably.

  Just FYI - the House of Oracle 11 g correction is in general the same procedure as patching a mid-layer House AS10g i.e

  -You set the Oracle Home base using the installation of the basic software program
  -You patch the Oracle home using the installation program of the Group of hotfixes

• FMW: Portal Upgrade Advisor - General recommendation to put a scroll bar vertical on pages

• FMW: Links Portal Upgrade Advisor to the page build Middleware of Oracle 11 g Architecture

  Perhaps a link in the Advisor to each document for installation/upgrade is needed.   Would be very useful.  And, if the document refernence is not specific to the step, but it is more general in nature, then a shor comment indicating to view only the relevant sections of the document.   That, to me, would be the most valuable contribution.  Please ask for clarification if necessary.   The page I am referring here would be 'Building the Middleware of Oracle 11g Architecture basis'. Each of the steps listed there is extremely useful.   Also, small change to it would be great for it is according to put it as follows in the next video that Dan is putting together to address upgrade scenario.

  And as mentioned in a previous debate. Would be really nice if we know exactly what is supposed to be running for each of these steps.  Not so much after we're done, but how to start.  Also, what environment should be set to.

  Example: Ensure that portal db, earphone, IDM and former/current levels are rising and runing and environment is set for new construction/PFRD area (where are the new binaries) for the portal 11g Upgrade Wizard.

  Example: Ensure that db, listener, old idm level runs and defined environment to the new layer IDM of IDM Upgrade Wizard.

  NOTE: These are examples only and may be wrong, but (and please let me know if so)... There you have something to run with.

  FYI... So I made changes at the stage 'The base Middleware of Oracle 11g Architecture site'... so we have documentation References inline + some additional details added. When you find the time, take a look and let me know if the changes are for the clearest reading / understanding of the build process.

• Windows 7 upgrade advisor, Vista, says that Firefox must be uninstalled before the upgrade and that I won't be able to reinstall it, is it true?

  I'm currently running Vista, 32-bit. I am considering upgrading to Windows 7. I ran the report Upgrade Advisor and he said "Mozilla Firefox 20.0.1 must be uninstalled before the upgrade to Windows 7. You will be able to reinstall it after upgrading to Windows 7. "This seems inaccurate info, based on the Firefox site, but I want to check what I have to do before you start the upgrade. Leave Firefox installed and in place when I update or uninstall and reinstall then after the upgrade?

  Hello herplaw, you're right, this doesn't look good - firefox will work fine on windows 7. I leave it installed and to proceed with the update. in any case (if you need to reinstall it later), you can also save personal information that is stored in your firefox profile before continuing: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox

• failure of the system after the installation of windows 7 upgrade advisor

  original title: failure of the system after the installation of the Advisor to upgrade to windows 7, which now, I can't delete

  My Winows Vista worked fine until I downloaded the windows 7 upgrade advisor - the system crashed, only load windows in safe mode, and when I try to delete the Upgrade Advisor program, it tells me windows service install is not available...

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  .

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• HP Pavilion & "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor came across a problem.

  Windows 7 would work on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6132eu)?

  So I used "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" of the Microsofts. Which caused the error "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor stumbled into a problem that your scanning devices. Upgrade Advisor needs to be able to scan your devices to determine whether your computer is capable of running Windows 7 ".

  The laptop is probably not good enough for Windows 7, why?

  I assumed, the Upgrade Advisor would tell me, what pieces of hardware is / are not specific to Windows 7.

  In a forum Technet, say, the Adviser is blocked by some HP hardware. Which?

  Best regards, Willem

  My problem has been resolved.

  Previously, the problem with "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor BETA.

  I waited two months - now, I executed the Adviser again, resulting in "an important upgrade".

  And guess: update Advisor works like a rocket, finishing with a nice report with minor problems.

  So I think that the problem was a "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" - problem - not a HP computer laptop-problem.

  Hello

  I see a long list of drivers that need to be updated: O
  But I m not surprised because all the drivers of Toshiba pilots and as far as I know these drivers are designed for only the WinXP. Request as a result of update.

  But as you may know Vista is not official on the market and that's why you won't find any Toshiba Vista drivers on the Web site.
  I think that Toshiba will offer drivers if Vista will be official on the market.

• Windows 7 upgrade advisor, program compatibility HP Media

  owner of an HP dv6-1245dx. Always running vista, upgrade to 7 soon.

  I downloaded the windows Upgrade Advisor 7, I ran the program. 3 mistakes come in saying I have the version of the HP Media Smart DVD, HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, HP Media TV program

  I click on him "click here to get a compatiable version," programs.

  1. I click on HP Media Smart DVD, it takes me to a page where it wants me to download a version for HP touchsmart... but I do not have an HP smart touch, I a dv6 (wrong product).

  2. I click on the HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, which brings me to random about the software with no upgrade or products page

  3. I click on th HP Media TV, I see that he wants me to download an older version of the program.

  so I download, install, restart my computer, run the Upgrade Advisor, hoping to see that there are 2 errors, but NO, the HP mediaSmart TV said it must still be fixed... which I just did again!

  Basically the first link go to a page of bad product, and the second link sent me to a random page that talks about program and it does not recognize that I just fixed one of the questions that he told me to fix.

  Can you guys help out me?

  What are the program version compatiability of HP Media Smart DVD, HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, HP Media TV, which will allow me to level to windows 7 safely?

  Hello

  Windows 7 upgrade advisor is not so smart as you think. It showes sometimes bad results.

  According to this document from HP to down:

  The upgrade to Windows 7

  Question:

  Unable to uninstall HP MediaSmart DVD in Windows 7.

  Fix or workaround:

  Uninstall MediaSmart DVD before the upgrade to Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows 7, install the compatible version Windows 7 HP MediaSmart DVD the DVD Upgrade Wizard at level HP or www.hp.com/support .

  Which means then you just uninstall HP MediaSmart DVD before upgrade.

  When you're after update just install all of the latest software for MediaSmart and everything should be ok.
