• How to install a 2nd 10.2.0.5 SGD without the "upgrade database" step?

  Colleagues DBA...
  
  We have Environment OEM using SGD version 10.2.0.5 - it has recently been upgraded to the 10.2.0.1 Basic version.
  
  We are trying to install a 2nd SGD. To do this, we install 10.2.0.1 base release and apply then the 10.2.0.5 patch - however, during the patch installation, Setup tries to 'upgrade' once again - the database, this causes the installation to hang, and finally we crash out of the facility.
  
  Anyone know how to bypass this? Is there a flag to skip this step? I thought it would be something like "softwareonly", but I can't find anything that works...

  Hi lisah64134956

  Greetings.

  • Please specify what adobe patch are you talking about?
  • A you kept a backup pf your LR catalog and images somewhere before moving on to Windows 10.
  • You have access to your original images, or they went too?
  • Try to search the catalog using windows search, .lrcat is the extension of the catalogue, see if you find something.

• is there any document/step by steps on the upgrade of esx4 to esxi4?

  is there any document/step by steps on the upgrade of esx4 to esxi4?

  Welcome to the Forums - there is no way to upgrade to move form ESX to ESXi because basically they are the same product, the difference is the way they are managed - ESX has the Service Console for manangement and ESXi you manage directly through the vmkernel - there going to the ot to be fresh install.

• Re-create the delayed data post-upgrade migration work?

  Hi all
  
  After setting up our new 12 c SGO (approach-system-2, which is both an old and new are running at the moment), I spent a number of test for the new OMS12 machines and performed the work of migration of data charges and deferred taxes.
  Delayed data migration job "metrics" has failed, and - unfortunately not check documentation first - I killed the work failed because I hoped that this would enable me to restart.
  
  Oracle documentation:
  "To revive a failed job, click the status icon to the work page. On the page of work performed, click on change. On the Edit < JobName > work page, click on submit to rerun the task. »
  
  Now I can revive neither labour nor the system seems to be able to recreate - y at - it a possiblity of getting this job back in there? Or maybe run it at least manually? Historical metrics data collected has been one of the reasons that we have decided to approach system-2 in the first place, and go through the process of establishing WHO 12 once seems excessive to us.
  
  Every help is very appreciated!

  Sinan,

  I guess I'm not sure if families and patchsets packs can be substitutes for each other.

  Sorry, but I'm really confused with your answers.

  You're talking about what a family pack?

  What patchsets you speak?

  For both, please mention the name of patch and number.

  Is there a document MOS you can direct me to learn more about these two types of patches?

  See the links following/documents.

  Note: the 457566,1 - patch FAQ for version 11i Oracle Applications
  Note: the 459156,1 - patch FAQ for release 12 Oracle Applications

  Products and families and Versions - Oh, my!
  http://blogs.Oracle.com/stevenChan/2009/04/products_and_families_and_vers.html

  And finally, I will then need to apply all the packs families and patchsets listed as two sections in the report above (completely at the top)?

  Depends, you can find some of the patchsets included in family packs and in this case, you do not have to apply it-when you find the number of patch via MOS, it must list all patches which include this fix.

  Thank you

• SSD upgrade/migrate inside 23 tilt of HP Envy TouchSmart?

  (model: 23-k001hk all-in-One)

  Hello all - asking for suggestions advice from wise and kind people on the best way - and operating instructions - for upgrading the speed of my current hdisk 1 TB + SSD 16 GB cache scheme of HP storage by one of these itineraries:

  1) upgrade the disk installed cache 16 GB SSD mSATA disk (limit Intel RST) 64 GB mSATA

  Why: I update regularly a slap (10-15GB) of data from the Agency.

  so given that the daily volume of modified files is comparable to 16 GB,

  I'm assuming that a larger cache will actually add value

  (2) install an SSD 'broad' to serve the main startup disk by replacing

  the existing hdisk of 1 TB (I use a tiny fraction of it) with a 2.5 SSD "

  with a suitable support (and deleting or disabling the 16 GB SSD disk cache)

  Thanks in advance for any advice on this point, HP does not have any information on that, nor any obvious way to access or review the settings of the RST (firmware?) used in their SSDcache + hDisk arrangement (Yes, tried Ctrl-I, the boot, etc.-no joy).

  -Rob in Hong Kong

  Hi WAWood,

  A late thank you for your advice. Based on this feedback and having discovered just that software ExpressCache 'hidden' on my system quietly stopped working after the upgrade to Windows 10 (and HP support does not currently have updated software ExpressCache for Windows 10), I decided to install a large SSD drive and use it as a boot drive.

  In the this could help other all-in-One HP Envy owners tilt, here is a summary of the steps that worked with obvious disclaimers that even if it worked for me, it is not a 'universal' solution and also that if you mess with the hardware/software of your system, you are of course on your own, without guarantees or responsibility for this author) :

  (also, my apologies for the format - in a hurry)

  System:

  HP Envy tilt (23-k001h model) running Windows 10

  Basic purpose:

  Change the original storage configuration:

  Hdisk (boot drive) 1 TB + 16 GB mSATA SSD cache ("linked" to the hdisk via ExpressCache)

  TO:

  Hdisk (spare drive) 1 TB + new Samsung Evo 850 mSATA SSD 500 GB (as boot drive)

  Result

  Many, many "zippier" system: QuickStart, app launch, etc..

  Measures

  Disable ExpressCache

  (HP Envy models tilt seem to use this supplement Windows 3 rd-party, instead of Intel RST):

  In my case, as my recent visit to Windows 10 has taken care of this for me (haha), I don't have to do;  Otherwise, I guess we should stop the ExpressCache service, uninstall the software from ExpressCache and/or drivers, then reboot - suggest you only look it up in the forums, because I can't offer my own experience on this one.

  Clear/unloading as much unnecessary data from drive C: (1 TB hdisk) as possible.

  The goal would be to have used space on C: be greatly below your 500 GB (or other) new drive (in my case, I cut the used space on the C: 100 GB).

  Also a good idea to run the defrag Windows on C:, as may be useful (necessary?) for the reduction of this partition in the next step

  Disk management Windows allows you to shrink the Windows partition (mapped as C

  Goal: you want a net size of all partitions on hdisk (Windows + hidden/recovery/system partitions) to be a little less than the actual size of your new SSD (my "500 GB" SSD was actually more as 465 GB)

  Warning: disk management can claim "not enough space" to shrink Windows (C when it's clearly not partition so - in my case, the problem was due to my Windows partition is not the last partition on the disk before the unallocated space (if any) - obviously this disrupts the management of disks.)  If so, you need to move partitions using a 3rd party soft as AOMEI (free app - has worked well for me) all for the Windows partition is the last partition on the hdisk, with unallocated space located immediately after the Windows partition.

  Result: when the dust settles, the partitions allocated on your hdisk must have a net size which is comfortably at less than the actual capacity of your new SSD (in my case, the partitions was 440 GB on a capacity 465 GB SSD).

  Physics card mSATA SSD upgrade

  • Power PC, unplug from the mains and remove the rear plastic cover:
  • http://support.HP.com/in-en/document/c04100400
• Remove the metal shield covering the RAM:
  • http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04007922 (only the first 3 steps)
• Remove the metal shield covering the motherboard:
  • Locate/remove the 3 screws holding it down.
  • Lift on board as possible shielding at the booth of PC;
• Locate the SSD of origin (see tiny map labeled as SanDisk or some of these) and remove 2 tiny screws to attach to the motherboard.
• While keeping you constantly connected to the Earth (strap, touch metal chassis, etc.):
  • gently remove original SSD and save it in some static container (if upgrade fails and you want to restore the system to the original state of the material)
  • Gently insert the new card in lateral connector mSATA SSD,
  • and to the motherboard with the same 2 live
• Replace the motherboard of armour, armour of RAM and plastic cover

Check the new SSD 'visible' to the BIOS:

At first startup, use ESC to enter the BIOS settings, then check that BIOS 'sees' the new SSD as the original hdisk

Clone all partitions on hdisk--> new SSD

Start & connect to Windows and use Macrium Reflect (free) to clone all the partitions on hdisk for the new SSD - see large portico advice to:

http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/

Do not forget:

• Suggestion from the link above, you must first a Macrium recovery disk
• You can clone * all * the partitions on the SSD's original hdisk

Result: cloned partitions now visible on new SSD. may have little extra/no allocated space on SSD (can deal with that later)

In the BIOS change the boot to new SSD drive

Reboot PC, press ESC to enter the BIOS to change the boot order:

• make the first boot drive in SSD
• also suggest to disable booting from originals hdisk (night before you really start SSD)
• Save the BIOS settings and exit the BIOS

Make sure that you have started of SSD and clean the unwanted drive mappings

Start & log Windows

(the fact that you can reach this point means that you have passed the first test)

Use Windows Disk Manager to

* ensure that C: is mapped to your new SSD.

* make sure that you can still see original hdisk, too

* suggest remove you mappings of unnecessary letters drive

(with the exception of the C: drive!) for all other partitions on hdisk or SSD

Test through full reboot

As a further test, do a reboot of Windows to make sure there are no problems with the start-up of SSD; again, once in Windows, use disk management to check again once your C: drive is the partition on the new SSD

Optimizing Windows SSD

There are several Windows setting changes that you should do when your primary/boot disk is an SSD, either:

• If you have purchased a Samsung SSD, you can download/use their app "Samsung magician" to do so (see "Optimization of OS" section), or
• Google "Optimizing windows 10 ssd" to find any number of guides to achieve this, such as:
  • http://www.disk-partition.com/Windows-10/SSD-optimization-Windows-10-4348.html
• Note: one of the most important changes are those related to mode AHCI (ability to GARNISH)
• Note: some suggested parameters cannot be 100% essential, for example:
  • pagefile on SSD: some authors suggest no page on the DSS file, others say "keep" small'(?) "; most compelling advice I've seen are to retain the page file on the SSD, but let Windows manage the size; in all cases, should make sure that your system has * sufficient * RAM (8 GB and more) for your usage requirements.
  • 'leave free space' (aka overprovisioning): SSD experts suggest that current-technology SSDS, it is not necessary
  • "do not defrag": 10 Windows recognizes SSD and disable defrag automatically

All the problems?

Note that at this point, you still have your original hdisk with windows/data for a few days, so if this migration does not work, you can always go back by turning off the SSD and change the startup disk (in BIOS) originally hdisk

After a few days: some cleaning

When you are reasonably comfortable that your system is booting from SSD and Windows/apps work correctly, you can perform the following operations:

• Use Macrium Reflect (free) or similar to save a snapshot of your current partition SSD
• After the backup, delete old/unnecessary partitions on original hdisk. For some, drive management works; others may need to resort to using the command line program Admin "diskpart" (read the instructions carefully!) and use "Delete Partition Override" (be very sure that you have selected a partition on the * original hdisk * (IE, 'old'))
• Disk management allows you to create a new simple volume on hdisk original now empty, as a reader of alternative utility
• Regular backup of SSD Annex: SSDS, as with mechanical parts, will fail - it's only a matter of time. It 's going to happen. Thus, strongly suggest that you configure regular (daily) snapshots of your SSD partitions. Again, I use Macrium Reflect to do this with a full backup weekly + differential daily backups and save the images in the now empty original hdisk in the PC
• If your SSD has any sense space not allocated, you may want to expand the Windows partition on the SSD drive use disk management to make use of this space

• The upgrade with an SSD

  I plan on migration to an SSD soon. After the upgrade SSD will appear as drive E:? If so, how can I change the C: drive SSD? I use a computer house built, based on the motherboard ASUS P5K - E. The processor is Intel E8400 3.0 GHz. I have 2 GB of RAM. Please ask me for more details if you need it. Thank you!

  If I understand you correctly, you want to change your system so that the first disc (the one where Windows is installed, as well as all your programs) is a new SSD.

  Assuming that the new SSD is at least as large as your current system (c) partition and assuming that there are no other partitions on your current hard drive more (I assume that your current D: is a CD or DVD drive) the right way to achieve your goal would be to do the following:

  • Clone the current C: drive on the SSD drive (preferably, but not necessarily, in an external USB enclosure)
  • Turn off computer
  • Remove the existing computer C: drive
  • Physically install the SSD to the computer (for example, out of the outer shell)
  • Turn on the computer and restart
  • At this point, you can stop (a) or (b) install the old hard drive as a second internal drive or (c) put the old hard drive in the external box.  For one of the last two options, you can use the old hard drive for backup.  I would hold off the coast on the restructuring of the old hard drive for at least a few weeks until you are sure that all cloned correctly.

  If you are not using an external enclosure during the cloning operation (for example, you install the SSD as a secondary internal drive), you MUST shut down the computer WITHOUT REBOOTING and remove the original hard disk before rebooting.  (See, however, notes Anna me at the end of this response.)

  If you want to have the two former players and new internally, be sure to log in using the appropriate connector and set the jumpers to ensure that the SSD is considered to be the main or the "master" drive

  Cloning software

  If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

  Acronis True Image Home
  EASEUS ToDo Backup
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

  XXClone

  Macrium Reflect free
  What follows is a very old post of 'Anna' in the Microsoft support newsgroups (the predecessor of "Microsoft Answers", which, in turn, was the predecessor of the current "Microsoft Community."  I edited the message refer only to cloning, rather than "Disc imaging" as well (another method of backup not useful in your situation). Although some details have changed with the new versions of the software, it is always interesting to read:

  Detailed instructions for the use of Acronis True Image leprogramme to clone a hard drive

  Within the framework either of these two backup & recovery process, you are
  dealing with two hard drives - source & destination records say.
  the source is the HARD disk drive you want to save and the destination disk
  is the HARD disk that will be the recipient of the cloned content of the
  source disc or the recipient of the disk image that you create.

  When you use both methods, it is usually best for most users to use a
  drive external HARD as the disk of destination, i.e. the recipient of the cloned
  content of the source diskette or the recipient of the disk image created. This

  
  can be either a USB or Firewire cable or external SATA HARD drive. While the other internal
  HARD drive can also serve as the destination disk, that there is an additional element
  safety in the use of an external HARD drive because this player will normally be
  disconnected the system except for the cloning disk or recovery
  process.

  Here are the step by step instructions for
  by using the Acronis True Image 9 program to clone the content of a HARD disk to
  external HARD disk. (The steps are essentially the same using the latest ATI 10)
  (version):

  1. with two hard drives (source & destination disks) connected, start.
  Ensure that no other storage device, for example, flash drives, ZIP drives, etc.,.
  are connected. It is also probably a good idea to close all programs, you
  may have to work in the shadow - including any antivirus antispyware
  programs - before this disk-to-disk cloning operation.

  2. access to the Acronis True Image 9 program, under "Pick a task", click
  on 'Clone disk '. (In version 10 of ATI, click "manage hard disks" in the)
  "Choose a tool" box, and on the next screen click 'Clone disk').

  9. on the next window, click on the button continue. A message box appears
  which indicates that a restart will be required to undertake the drive cloning

  10. the cloning operation will pronounce on reboot. With modern
  components and a medium to high power processor, data transfer rate will
  be in the range of approximately 450 MB/min at 800 MB/min during cloning to
  an external USB HARD disk. much faster when cloning to another internal
  HARD DRIVE.

  11. when the cloning operation has been completed, a message
  indicating the disk cloning process was a success, and ask you to
  Shut down the computer by pressing any key. Do it and unplug your USB
  external HARD disk.

  If, however, the destination drive was another * internal * HARD drive, see the
  NOTE below.

  12 note that cloned content now residing on the external USB HARD drive take
  on the file system of the source drive. For example, if before the
  disk cloning operation your USB external HDD was formatted FAT32 and
  your XP operating system has been formatted to NTFS, the cloned content will be formatted in NTFS.
  There is no need to format the USB external HARD disk before the disk cloning
  operation. Similarly, it is not necessary before the operation of disk cloning
  to format a drive HARD internal if use you a drive HARD internal as the
  destination drive.

  13. the system restore can be performed by cloning the content of the
  data from the external DRIVE for a normal HARD internal disk drive
  process of cloning such drive as described above.

  NOTE: Just another point which should be emphasized with regard the
  the recipient of the clone disk cloning operation would be an another intern
  HARD drive and not a USB cable or Firewire external HARD disk. Immediately after the disk
  cloning of the machine must be decommissioned and the source that HARD drive should
  be disconnected. Boot ONLY on newly cloned drive. CAN I NOT BOOT
  IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OPERATION OF CLONING WITH TWO CONNECTED DRIVES.
  It is quite possible that in doing so, it is likely to cause future
  starting with the cloned disk problems. Of course there is no problem in this
  area should be a port USB or Firewire EHD be the beneficiary of the clone since
  device is not usually bootable in an XP environment.

  **************************************************************************************************

  LEM:

  As you may know not my previous posts about this issue of cloning/disk-image disk, I am rather partisan passionate about Casper 6 - disk cloning program and highly recommend this comprehensive program for most PC users as a backup tool. (I recognize that this is probably of little interest to the OP because I guess it is concerned primarily or exclusively with cloning just the content of its failure (apparently) HARD drive to a newer HARD disk. And it seems that it may have other problems as well!)

  The reason for this post is in my "NOTE" (quoted above) caveat regarding the sea program. I wanted to mention that one of the main reasons we prefer program Casper to other disk cloning programs (for example, the Acronis one) is that, unlike these other programs Casper completely avoids this potential problem I did reference.

  During the two years since we started working with the Casper drive cloning program we had done (or were involved with) hundreds of disk cloning operations, involving a wide variety of PC brands/models, hard disks (both PATA & SATA), etc. During this time, we have never met a * single * instance of the problem raised. IE a user could clone the contents of his HARD 'source' to another disc * internal * HARD drive and would not (possible) later problem affecting the ability to start the (cloned) destination HARD disk even when the system was booted to the HARD drive with the cloned HARD disk connected source * immediately * after the disk cloning operation.

  Under this scenario the cloned HDD would be obviously treated as a HARD secondary, a drive letter assignment drive of (obviously) other than C:. However, the source disk HARD later disconnect so that would imply the boot * only * the newly cloned HARD drive, this drive would start without incident and be granted the 'normal' C: drive letter assignment.

  In addition, two hard drives must be connected in the system and the user changes the BIOS boot priority setting to accommodate a first start at the cloned disk as HDD will start without incident. And, of course, the ancient source THAT HDD would be then treated by the system as a secondary as HDD should in these circumstances.

  And if the user decides to start at the disk of origin at a later time (for some reason any), the boot of this player would normally occur.

  I thought that the information above might be interesting for you & others.

• Looking for a Vista Upgrade Advisor software see if our XP Pro computer can get the upgrade of Vista * with out having to reinstall the software / programs *.

  where can we get this Vista Upgrade Advisor Software?  Anywhere, there is a link saying need us for this software - it's rather Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor...

  We want to upgrade to Vista without having to reinstall all the software/programs, set up users, etc., on this computer.

  This software "Advisor" we apparently will tell if we can do it.

  Hello

  Do you have an upgrade copy or a full copy of the Windows Vista product?

  Vista Upgrade Advisor in is no longer available for download.

  Check if your computer meets the criteria of minimum system requirements to install Windows Vista.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/system-requirements

  If you want to keep your files, settings and programs, you will need to perform an upgrade installation. Before installing, uninstall any security (antivirus)
  and CD burning software.

  NOTE: You can backup all your data before moving to Vista to be a good side.

• Impossible to get the upgrade to 2.3.2 to 3.2 to work

  A customer asked me to update their meter consumption for them and for me, it seems that the upgrade process does not at all.  I have made several attempts following the instructions in the documentation, and each ends with the same failure; Java Exception errors on the device of the user Web interface login.

  1. I have download the EGGS and make the basic configuration of the device, import of EGGS post I was just setting the password of the user Web interface and time zones.  I tried to connect and configure the basic customer information in the system, I also tried doing nothing and leave it alone.
  2. I opened on the 2.3.2 SSH source server running "service sshd start.
  3. On the destination machine 3.2, I run "importum 10.1.1.13 232" complete the order with errors, request never passwords as expected.  When you look at the message logs, I found that the connection between the destination server has been denied.   Try connecting manually, the SSH connection is denied.  During the migration attempt fails like this, the appliance will be unusable.  Just open the user Web interface product of Java Exception errors.

  I managed to solve the problem of connection by adding sshd: ALL the files hosts.allow, but that did not help my migration to complete.  When you run updateum, it now invites me as expected for the source root password.  It seems that it ends, and now the login page for the user interface will go up.  But when I login I get a Java Exception error message.

  Hello. Thanks for the detailed description of the problems. I believe that we can correct the problem.

  In Version 3.0, we started to encrypt the password for the mail Server Page manage (if one was supplied). This required a manual step to hide this password before the migration. We have neglected to mention this fact in the current migration instructions. I apologize for this error. You have two ways to proceed. I recommend the B method.

  Method A:

  1. delete the e-mail server on the 2.3.2 password system (Page manage), repeat migration, and then restore the password

  Method B:

  1. SSH to the system 3.2 (or open a vSphere client console)
  2. execute: stopping tomcat service
  3. run: sql (this is an alias for a command that will put you in an interactive shell to PostgreSQL)
  4. type: update 'EmailServer' set password = ";
  5. type: Ctrl + D (hold CTRL and press D). We must return to the Linux shell.
  6. run: service start tomcat
  7. Go to the page manage 3.2 webapp and give the password to the e-mail server in

  Please let me know what happens. Thank you.

  Noted that it was version 3.0 where the change was introduced. The error reported here affects only the migration of 2.3.2.

• The upgrade of Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005 Express

  I think I know the answer to that, but I need to confirm.  I have an environment vSphere 4.1 and am planning on the upgrade to vSphere 5.  When I installed vsphere 4.1, I used the Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005 Express database because I didn't have a license and my environment is low.  The question I have is that if I upgrade to vSphere 5 that comes with Microsoft SQl 2008 express edition installation will improve my SQL 2005 Express?

  Thanks for your help.

  I don't believe it - I believe that you use on the vcenter data migration tool to move data from sql 2005 to sql exp 2008 exp - there steps http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-upgrade-guide.pdf

• After the upgrade to 38.01, cannot display some web pages.

  I am running Windows Vista. It started just occurring after the upgrade. Not all pages are scrolling. Help! I'm technically rudimentary.

  Thank you

  You get a pop-up dialog box or style style without a menu or the toolbar either? In this case:

  38 of Firefox has a little problem with this combination of circumstances:

  (1) viewing a page in a private window
  (2) tabbed browsing is powered down
  (3) you click on a link encoded with target = "_blank", which launches the link in a new window

  The new window opens without menus, toolbar, scroll bars, etc.

  Work on this bug is in progress, but I don't know if the fix will be available in the coming weeks. These are the known workarounds so you can continue using windows browsing private - one of them will work around the bug:

  (1) use tabbed browsing (there is a checkbox in Options > general > "Open new windows in a new tab instead");

  (2) shift + click the links to open in a new window with standard features. or

  (3) change a bunch of hidden settings as explained below - it will not you make changes to the way you use Firefox, but sometimes you need to enlarge some small pop-up windows that have been sized for a window with no toolbar displayed.

  # 3, here are the steps:

  (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste feat and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (C) for each preference that begins with dom.disable_window_open_feature. , if it is not 'true', double-click it to true.

  You may find that you prefer this anyway, given that sites can band is more these pop-up windows features.

  Who is relevant or do you have a different question?
