• DB Upgrade during the R12 upgrade approach

  We have a 11.5.10.2 instance with 10.2.0.5 database and we have the intention to upgrade the database to 11.2.0.3 during our upgrade R12.1.1, as in the notes 761570.1 , we have the Patch C and D of path at our disposal. We decided to use the path C upgrade IE the database to 11.2.0.3 during the upgrade R12 itself and not two windows of downtime. According to this Note 761570.1, in the path c If the database upgrade is part of the R12 upgrade, perform all operations in the Interoperabity Notes except the following:
  
  Check the versions of the software
  Run adgrants.sql
  Implement and run the automatic configuration
  Recreate the grants and synonyms
  Restart the application server process
  Apply the Oracle human resources (HRMS) patch 7721754
  
  so that means that we do not have to apply all the patches mentioned under the versions of software to check like patch interoperability, ATG Patch 7456837 etc. on 11i?
  
  Thank you
  Murali

  You must run directly after the upgrade of database with the exception of the measures that require the application to be upward, then you can implement it after starting the application.

• Node of collapse during the R12 upgrade

  Hi all
  
  I have a question regarding the collapse of one of our nodes of E-Business.
  
  Our current environment is 11.5.9.2. Web/forms are on one W2003 node and "everything else" is on since the HP - UX node. Due to changes in our business, we look at the whole of the application running on a node, our HP - UX server. Of course, we would like to test this out first to make sure that no problem of performance.
  
  My question: in the 11.5.9.2 > R12 upgrade process, you run rapidwiz. Rapidwiz ask you what components are on which node. I think it should be possible to remove our W2003 node during upgrade (process rapidwiz). Rapidwiz should create services http, etc. on HP - UX and we should be ok? Good or bad?
  
  Thank you all... colin

  Colin,

  You must move the components you have on Windows server to the node in HP - UX (as shown (Note: 238276.1 - migration to Linux with the Oracle Applications 11i version) before you start the upgrade that you already have files on the Windows node and install quickly running during the upgrade isn't enough.)

  I think that your approach is not supported, you can check with the support of Oracle.

  Note: Please make sure that you have enough resources on the computer from HP - UX and test the performance before proceeding with this plan.

  Kind regards

• Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

  I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
  Thank you very much!

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?

   

  Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.

  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

   

  Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.

  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.

   

  Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.

   

   

  These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

  · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

  Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
   
  As long as you have a recovery disk which you should create or use the construction in the recovery partition, Yes, it will self activate.

• Questions on "configure and start the server process" step during the r12 upgrade

  There is a not listed in the 11i 12.1.1 to upgrade guide, 'the Server Configure and start processes. It looks like to includes two parts, run autoconfig tire to the database and run the quick installation of second time.

  so I have two questions here:

  1. looks like the quick second installation is just autoconfig, so can I just run autoconfig instead of the second quick installation?

  2. that we'll first? automatic configuration in the database or quick installation service?

  Thank you

  1. looks like the quick second installation is just autoconfig, so can I just run autoconfig instead of the second quick installation?

  AutoConfig will not start the services so I'd run fast install and it should run the automatic configuration for you.

  2. that we'll first? automatic configuration in the database or quick installation service?

  Quick installation.

  Thank you

• I have a question about the ESXi upgrade using Update Manager...

  This is probably a stupid question, but I've never played and update ESXi using Update Manager.  We need to update ESXi ESXi 4.1 4.1 servers before vCenter 5.0 U1 from U2 (there is a known issue where the ESXi 4.1 servers receive the GROUP after upgrading vCenter to 5.0 U1).  We used HP ESXi image to install ESXi on our servers for new installations.  This image contains ESXi.1 U2 as well as the drivers of HP and CIM.

  4.1_U2_Oct_2011_ESXi_HD - USB-SDImgeInstlr_Z7550 - 00241.iso

  Can this same image HP ESXi 4.1 U2 that we used to install to new ESXi servers, be used to upgrade our 4.1 4.1 U2 ESXi servers using the Update Manager?  Or, upgrade package should be used for the upgrade?  Also, if an upgrade package must be used, is it OK to use one provided by VMware, or will be losing our HP specific drivers and CIM to do this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can import custom HP ESXi 4.1 U2 ISO in Update Manager (don't forget to use the latest version of June 2012, available here: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM06) and update the hosts with her.

  In a second step, you can then import the last custom HP ESXi ISO 5.0 (available here: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM09) and update the hosts again with her.

  To be on the current ESXi 5.0 patch level you finally apply the latest patches from VMware via the Update Manager.

• Questions about the OEM upgrade repository 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.1 db in

  Hi all
  
  Since we installed the 10g grid control in Windows 2003 server who and the agent have been upgraded to 10.2.0.5 see below:
  
  D:\Oracle\Ora10g_GC\agent10g\BIN > emctl agent status

  The repository db (on the same server) stayed in 10.1.0.4 so we tried to upgrade this db. This is the step we did:
  
  (1) installed oracle 10.2.0.1 in a new oracle home.
  (2) listener configured in this new database using the port 1522
  (3) Ran pre upgrade util: utlu102i.sql
  (4) Ran oracle dbua new home
  
  Looks like that the upgrade is executed successfully with the exception of the configurations of EM.

  Oracle Server Oracle_Server.log successful
  Oracle_Server.log Oracle Workspace Manager successful
  Post PostUpgrade.log successful upgrade
  EmConfigUpgrade.log Enterprise Manager Configuration Failed *.
  Generate the successful generateSummary.log summary
  
  My questions are:
  
  (1) what does this failure?
  (2) how can I fix this?
  
  Thank you very much for your help in advance,
  
  Shirley

  EM is not configured for this database

  Which points to the control of stand-alone database (dbconsole). I'm not so familiar with DBUA, it could be THAT DBUA try to configure default dbconsole. But you have not need of a database repository gridcontrol, still more, such a data base should not have a repository dbconsole. So you can ignore the error message.

  He is the agent who speaks with the WHO and the repository database, so you should follow the instructions in the present note metalink inform the agent about the changes:

  How to: change the listening Port of the database that contains the repository of grid control

• A few questions regarding the hardware upgrade and the games on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hey,.

  I thought that posting this here because it's more about the lines for the games I could think on another topic.

  I'll get to the point... Basically, I bought a laptop from a guy that my friend knew. He barely used this laptop and didn't know anything about computers, and he tried to avoid as much as possible. So he got rid of this laptop for me for real cheap.

  Now I got it, I had expected either of two things with the laptop.

  (1) what I'll use it so I can sit in his bed and travel a little bit while having files, movies, music and internet access. (it wasn't my main idea)

  Or

  (2) it allows to play video games on it, or to update, so I have a better chance to do so.

  I was hoping to get for video games, mainly for my brother to use because his computer is lagging a lot while playing world of Warcraft. I was hoping that this notebook would give him a better experience for a while.

  But as I was installing the game on this, I noticed that the disk space is low, so I'm going to buy an external hard drive, so I can send files between the PC and the laptop, and I got an error message saying that the RAM was under "minimum requirements" for WoW.

  So I know that I got to level it with something big, but I know not what, so I'm not quite sure that this laptop will run the game at a decent rate. So I thought that I turn to a computer forum and ask.

  It's my laptop;
  [Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 45659 ie]

  This laptop will do the job don't you think?
  Or it will be better for simpler things, or less if I had the ram to 1gig?

  I don't know much on the laptop, and I'm not really willing to spend too much on fixing, if it's just a change of the ram, then it wouldn't cost much for than to upgrade around 1gig.

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that this notebook belongs to an older series laptop.
  It was equipped with the 1.8 Celeron CPU, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB or 30 GB HARD drive and a 16MB graphics card internal.

  What you can do is upgrade the RAM up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and the HARD drive. But I think that the maximum size of HARD drive that would be recognized by the BIOS is 120 GB.
  I think that the laptop supports one IDE controller and it limited because of the 28-bit LBA HARD drive size.

  So finally, it is important to mention that you can not pass the graphics card because it s soldered onto the motherboard. Upgrading the CPU is not possible or very difficult.

  I come to the conclusion that you will not be able to play games of new generation on this machine. The hardware specs are maybe too low a few simple games would run on this laptop but I'm sure that other newer games will not run smoothly.

• Question about the BIOS upgrade for Windows

  I tried to update my BIOS M200 of 1,20 to 1,80 using the Windows version. Error is telling me that I am not an authorized user. I am local and all administrator requirements ar fullfilled readme.

  Hello

  As far as I know you can only update the BIOS with the compatible reader.

• Question about the CS5 upgrade paths

  I bought a copy of Creative Suite 2 education for Windows some time ago, but never recorded the CD key in my Adobe account. The program, as far as I know, is never disabled correctly (computer - FRY mounted sudden power aren't fun) and I've never bothered trying to reactivate the program again.

  Well, turns out that I will buy Creative Suite 5 soon, and I was wondering if I can use my old license education upgrade to Creative Suite 5 at retail. I watched the tool of upgrade eligibility on this site, and while he said CS2 qualified for an upgrade, it did not mention if the education licenses have been accepted.

  I think that I also have an educational copy of Photoshop CS2 that I never used since I was the Creative Suite 2 at the same time. Could I use for detail of the Creative Suite 5 upgrade too?

  Thanks for your help!

  Yes you can use it. The upgrade of the suite is much cheaper than the upsell of the individual product. Education versions with full rights to level of detail. You will need the serial number for verification during the installation of CS5. Your timing is pretty good, too.

  CS2 is the oldest version that you can upgrade. In case you're interested, Amazon has a great deal on the CS2 to CS5 Design Premium Upgrade: http://amzn.to/eJQziD

• Questions about the upgrade to the 4.0 unit

  Hi all

  I have a few questions before the server upgrade to 4.0 to 3.1.3 and install a new Server 4.0. We currently have 7 servers unit all current 3.1.3 running with digital networks. We are planning to upgrade a Server 4.0 and install a new server with 4.0 costs. This is the beginning of the upgrade of the entire company and my questions are the following:

  1 will update the AD schema during the installation/upgrade to 4.0 problems with the 3.1.3 other servers?

  2 since there isn't that one account of the unit currently with the 3.1.3 configuration, creating 4 new accounts unit cause any problem or should I / can I use the current to the unityadmin the unit account or one of the other 3 new accounts? I would like to start over again with 4 new accounts and not use the current service account and migrate to new accounts during the upgrade other servers.

  3. is there a problem to have 3.1.3 servers running jointly with 4.0 servers in general?

  My impression is that this is very well that I would no problem to start the 3.1.3 servers alongside with 4.0 servers, there should be no problem to use new accounts of the unit and this update of the AD schema should not be a problem for the old servers, but I want to make sure before doing the update/install.

  Oh, it's all run with Exchange 2000.

  Thanks for your time!

  Keith

  (1) it is backward compatible

  (2) creation of 4 new accounts will be fine.

  (3) you can run 3.1 (x) alongside with 4.x

• R12 upgrade test

  Hi all

  We have improved of 11.5.10.2 to R12 (12.1.3) on linux (rhel 4.6 to 6.2) platform

  The one you suggest what testing (technical) we have to cross after the R12 upgrade has been done.

  Thank you

  In addition to what you can find in the manual to upgrade Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrade Guide the healthy list of mind, check question would include something like the following:

  Create/update users/responsibilities/functions/menus

  -Introduce the different types of concurrent programs

  S ' ensure cm and workflow works as expected

  -Check the OPMN components and log files

  -Check your custom tops (if any)

  .. etc.

  You should come up with your own list when you upgrade your instance to test and verify the same for the upgrade of production.

  You can Google "R12 Upgrade Lesson Learned" and/or "R12 Post technical Upgrade" and you should get many hits.

  Thank you

• Details on the obligation imposed by the post upgrade

  The post of the R12 upgrade steps tell to "Apply the latest legislative HRMS" referring to the notes 145837.1 . This note indicates the last patch of statutory for 12.1.3 Dec 2010. In our 11i instance, we have already applied through "U.S. & Canada end of year 2010 statutory update for 11i Phase3" before the upgrade. I'm assuming that we would apply this EOY Phase 3 patch for 12.1.3 and not legal base level in notes 145837.1. Is it a correct assumption? Thank you!

  Your assumption is correct. However, you should always consult Doc 145837.1 in case you need to apply the latest legislative HRMS patches if you have HR/Payroll set up and installed.

  Hello
  
  Need a clarification about 10.1.2.3 fixes over R12.1.1 to R12.1.3 upgrade
  
  I'm following the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 note 1080973.1 Readme and applying patches "forms and reports Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 . Document 437878.1 "
  
  I'm unclear if I apply the Patch 8919489 - R12. T2K. B.Delta.3 before applying other one-off patches, this patch seems to be included in R12.1.3 and I apply these patches to upgrade R12.1.13
  
  Thank you

  My question was out of the patches in the table, is 10.1.2.3 9593176 patch only which applies to the R12.1.3?

  Not only 12.1.3. It can be applied to any instance of R12 circulating 10.1.2.3
