I'm trying to upgrade clearquest server 7.1.x.x to 8.x.x
I'm uninstalling 7.1.x.x and installing the version 8.
After upgradation how can i restore the connections that CQ had to schema repository and user DB?
If you're on Windows, The simplest way is to:
Open the ClearQuest Maintenance Tool
Select the profile you want to keep.
Select File/Export profile.
If the host is Unix, you should look for a directory in the clearquest install directory with one of these names:
cqdb_rgy
CQDB_rgys
cqdb_registry
Archive that directory and put it back when you have finished the upgrade. The Installation Manager upgrade process may do this for you.

I have a DB project in Visual Studio and I need to deploy it to a remote system as a pre-packaged script (or similar) as a new database.
The Publish option will generate a .publish SQL script but only if you supply a connection first, and the script includes machine-local information e.g. logging paths.
I want something I can copy onto the DB-server machine running SSMS and it will create the DB. What is the proper way to do this, I see I also have DAC and DLL files emitted during build.
What is the proper way to do this?
Connect to a server that doesn't have any version of your database, and publish. Publish calculates an incremental deployment, so it needs to see the current state of the target SQL Server.
I recently restored my old computer's system (running win XP SP2), on which I was using oracle 8i in addition to Forms and Reports 6i.
Unfortunately, restoring the system deleted the software, and thereafter I had no access to the local database nor the Forms and Reports I had earlier.
I then installed Oracle 9i v 9.0 as I think that Oracle DB usually has 2-updates compatibility. The installer didn't recognize my 8i database so I went on creating a new 9i database, but now I can't connect forms 6i.
Logging in to sqlplus 9 works fine, but sqlplus 8 requires
DATABASE CONNECTION (e.g. t:node:SID) [LOCAL]
What should the input be??
My 9i SID = ABD and tnsnames.ora is cloned from 9i network folder to 6i net80 folder.
Thank you in advance
Usually, 6i version should be installed in this order: database first, then Reports, and Forms at the end. Why? Because Reports installation overwrites Forms' configuration files, but Forms installation won't overwrite Reports' ones.
Apart from that, the rest should be relatively simple: if you don't use TNS_ADMIN environment variable (my suggestion: do use it), then you have to manually maintain all copies of TNSNAMES.ORA synchronized - that's what you already did: put copy into \developer_suite_home\network\admin directory.
Forms should then be able to recognize the database and connect to it.
We are using SSDT project in visual studio to manage my SqlServer deployments.
We create dacpac file and send it to our clients.
Then they update their DB using "Sql Server > Task > Upgrade Data-tier Application" option.
While doing this, we found it drop all the User which is not in dacpac but present in SqlServer DB. (though users are not droping - if we use SqlPackage.exe command line tool)
To prevent this DROP, we implement "Drop, Ignore & Exclude" setting in Advance Deployment Settings in SSDT project of Visual Studio.
But this seems not working.
Is I missing something?
How do i prevent USER from Drop?
SQL Server Version:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 12.0.4213.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.3.9600.17415
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 6.3.9600
Your best bet might be to package all of this up for the users with a Publish Profile set up to not drop users as well as a way they could easily use SQLPackage to do the changes. I know there's a NuGet package containing the DacFX now and Ed Elliott wrote up some stuff about using it in PowerShell here: https://the.agilesql.club/blogs/Ed-Elliott/DacFxed-Nugetized-DacFx-Powershell-Wrapper (see Solution 3)
If the customer is using an older version of DacFX, the "Ignore Users" etc. settings will be silently ignored.
Since you presumably don't control this, it might be an idea to package a current version along with your dacpac, and provide the customer with a deployment script.
uninstallion of sybase adaptive server enterprise suite is hanged at 0% since a long time. Does anyone know location of uninstall logs so that I can identify what is blocking uninstallation process.
Sybase does not uninstall for Control Panel but successfully uninstalls from Uninstall executable placed in Sybase Installed directory path.
I installed Oracle Database 11gR2 on Windows 7 using the OUI but just before the finish screen it gave a warning stating that Enterprise Manager could not be setup and gave a list of commands to execute through the command-line.
Just as I executed one of them the antivirus installed i.e. AVG Antivirus gave a threat from file emagent.exe. Along with this file many other files required for Enterprise Manager to be setup were deleted by the antivirus.
Is there a way to re-install Enterprise Manager for the database already created?
Yes, you can re-install OEM with an existing database repository. Just follow the installer screens for setting up an additional OMS node and fill in the database repository information when asked. If the first install completed correctly everything should work, if not you can start again and just delete the repository first (instructions to do this are in the install notes).
