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

It is a general recommendation to the vertical scroll bars on pages that are long.  The pages have a horizontal scroll bar that makes it easy to navigate to the desired section of the text. However, it lacks a bar vertical srcoll on all pages.  See text below that of the current view, to click and drag the mouse - and, only occasionally do the up and down of work arrow keys to scroll through the content of the page.

Thanks for the comments... have to admit that I had not noticed... guess I'm used to with my mouse wheel scrolling
The design of the interface of the upgrade wizard as a whole is managed by the life cycle program team... then I will send this feedback their

  • FMW: Portal Upgrade Advisor - confusing info on JDK in WLS Installation Guide

    Post this thread on behalf of Charlie - technical contact at one of the customers drivers Middleware sites:
    Concerning

    (Expert in the field of life cycle)

    Charlie sent me the following e-mail:

    NOTES about the Upgrade Advisor in
    Oracle® Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server 11 g Release 1 (10.3.4) Part Number E14142-05

    Looks like there may be a confused statement in Chapter 2 on «jdk previosly» installed

    "A JRE is packaged in the 32-bit Windows and x 86 Linux installation programs"

    Chapter 2:

    Before you start the installation program
    Before starting Setup, verify the following information:

    If you install the software in graphics mode on a UNIX or Linux machine, you must set the DISPLAY environment variable before you run the installation program.
    If you use an installer of the synchro .bin file, replace JAVA_HOME with the installation of the JDK supported location you have installed for your platform.

    ...

    [Then goes on to say]

    Functions of the base directory

    The directories in the home directory of Middleware vary according to the installation program you use and the products that you have selected for installation.
    For example, WebLogic Server Setup creates the directories and files listed in the table below if you have selected all the components for installation.

    Table 2-4 Directory Description for Middleware House

    Directory or file Description

    JDKVersion

    This directory contains the software for the JDK from Sun, if it is installed with your software. The JDK provides the environment to run Java (JRE) and tools for compiling and debugging Java applications.

    Good suggestion. Thank you.

    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
    Group of hotfixes mkdir 961
    Group patches 962 mv p11060983_111140_LINUX.zip

    Yes, VNC gui and
    / opt/Web/Install/PortalUpgradeAdvisor/pfrd/Patchset/disk1

    RE: Get the message again on this screen "installs the software only. After said is finished, use

    Specify the installation location.  Always to
    Oracle Middleware homepage: / opt/oracle/Middleware
    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: 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.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    If this does not work, maybe it's time to try refresh (called "Reset" in older versions of Firefox) which can resolve many issues by restoring Firefox as his default from factory and save your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

    Note: When you use this feature, you will lose all the extensions, toolbar customizations, and certain preferences. See article Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information.

    Refresh for Firefox:

    1. Open the troubleshooting information page using one of the following methods:

      • Click the menu button

        click Help

        and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

      • If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
    2. At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says 'Refresh Firefox' ('reset Firefox' in older versions of Firefox). Click on it.
    3. Firefox closes. Once the update process is complete, Firefox will display a window with the imported information.
    4. Click Finish and reopen Firefox.

    This corrects the problem? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor didn't finish and restore to Windows Vista

    I try to install Windows 7 and started using Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to examine the State of Vista.

    A number of questions appeared so I did the updates or of facilities such as specified. I then re-ran and it shows now no problems.

    The only things without green ticks are the wireless printer which he cannot evaluate but does report does not as a problem.

    The upgrade of Windows runs almost until the end and then fails and rolls back to Vista. When you are finished, he said to use Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor!

    Where should I go now?

    Notes:

    • Collect all the important application discs and discs of hardware driver, you might need to be reinstalled.
    • Consult the manufacturer and the site of developers of software for available updates and inquire about the status of compatibility with Windows 7. It is possible that if the software is compatible with Windows Vista it probably will work with Windows 7, because they share the same driver model.
    • If you use software like iTunes or Adobe programs, don't forget to remove and disable them before you run the installation program.

    Back up your data:

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. Windows Vista, depending on the edition you are running includes a form of backup. If you run editions such as Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition, you can use the built in backup of the computer of your Vista installation. This can be handy if your installation of Windows 7. For instructions on how to use the backup of the computer, see article following here. Of course, you'll need an external hard drive for this task.

    If you are running editions such as Windows Vista Starter, Home Basic or Home Premium, the only option available to backup the standard backup and restore that archive the records of your account with some settings. If you need a similar to the complete PC backup option, you will need a third party too.

    See the following article from Microsoft MVP JW Stuart on how to make a backup of a Windows here installation using Acronis True Image here

    Alternatively, you can use for backup of Windows Vista is Easeus backup, JW Stuart also has an article about it here

    Other steps that you can use to check your data is secure before the upgrade creates a backup of Windows Easy Transfer. Learn more here , this option is very limited and should be used only if do not plan to return to Windows Vista because the easy transfer of backups can be restored in Windows 7 or Windows 7.

    What you can do before performing the upgrade?

    You can perform certain tasks of pre-required to ensure a migration smoothly between Windows Vista and Windows 8. If you use a computer such as a Dell or HP brand name, go to the website of manufacturers for the model computer you are using and download the latest drivers available for this computer. Store them on a disk or a USB key. You should try to get important factors include network and video drivers. Its possible that they might have only Windows Vista, those that will work with Windows 7.

    Other things you can do:

    1. Uninstall all security software before attempting to upgrade.
    2. Disable any encryption software, that you may have installed such as file encryption, BitLocker Drive encryption.
    3. Disable/uninstall software utility to drive such as CD/DVD burning utility or third-party programs such as perfect disk defragment.
    4. Make sure your computer is updated (devices and applications).
    5. Disconnect external devices before installing.
    6. Check your hard drive for errors:
      -Click Start
      -Type: CMD
      -Right click on CMD, and then click Run as administrator
      At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
      Exit the command prompt.

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.
  • Another thing you can do is to disable startup items:
    • Click Start
    • Type: MSCONFIG.
    • Press enter on your keyboard
    • On the general tab, click Selective startup.
    • Under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
    • Click the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
    • Click OK.
    • When you are prompted, click on restart.
    • After the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  • 64-bit Windows 7 upgrade advisor report

    Hi, I have an HP pavilion tx1000 laptop that has windows vista and I want to upgrade to windows 7 so I ran the windows Upgrade Advisor 7 to check compatibility. Everything seemed fine except for the UC report. My processor is AMD Turion Mobile technology 64 clocked at 1.6 ghz, but on the Upgrade Advisor, it says my CPU speed is 800 mhz and it has not satisfied the criterion of 1 ghz. However, everything seemed fine. What I am doing wrong? He is the Advisor to upgrade windows 7 who is mistaken? Without this problem would be easier to upgrade my laptop to windows 7? THX!

    Hello

  • You want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional?

    I want to install Windows 7 Professional.  I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?

    You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

    If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

    What Upgrade Options are available for Windows 7?
    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business
