We are planning to upgrade CC/CQ version 7.1.2.13 to 8.0.x.x as the earlier version has gone out of support. As we do not have a test machine where we can try out these things and also there is no dedicated team to do this, we are all novice in this regard. Can someone please help me with the following:
Server: Windows 2008 server enterprise edition.
We use installation manager 1.6.3 for installation or upgradation.
Is it required that we uninstall 7.1.2.13 using installation manager and then install 8.0.x.x. or does the installation manager do it automatically.
Also, there is an 'upgrade' option in installation manager, should we use it to upgrade, instead of uninstalling earlier version and then installing the latest version?
If un-installation is required, then could you please let me know the steps to restore the VOBs for CC and shcemas, schema repository,user database for ClearQuest. Basically how can we make things work like before.
Thanks
If you have multiple Rational products on the same machine, e.g. CC and CQ 7.X, I think the upgrade path wont work at all because IBM IM will complain that another incompatible version is on the system if you tried. Extremely stupid but I've learnt to accept this for all the Rational products.
So complete uninstall and reinstallation of all products is the way to go.
Is it required that we uninstall 7.1.2.13 using installation manager and then install 8.0.x.x.
I find it easier to uninstall/install than upgrading.
Simply make sure to backup your registry and stirage (vob and views)
And you can start upgrading to the latest IM you can find (currently 1.8)
Most of the steps are described in:

Hi can someone provide detailed installation steps to install Oracle data integrator 11g or 12c on my mac book pro. I am very new to Mac and I am a business analyst, so would appreciate if you could be specific in giving the instructions.
ODI can be run in OS X.
Today I have installed ODI 12c2.1.3 version in my macbook pro.
For sure, there is no information is available to fix the issues. I hope this will help others.
As we know the default installation directly doesn't work. I have done some changes in default configurations and lib. I am running setup on jdk8. I am assuming you have already installed ODI
Changes you have to made is as follows
odi.conf
File Path - <Oracle Home>/Middleware/Oracle_Home/odi/studio/bin
Append the below lines to odi.conf
AddVMOption -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.apple.laf.AquaLookAndFeel
AddJavaLibFile ../extensions/oracle.odi.navigator.12/lib/jide-common.jar
Download the latest jidesoft demo zip from http://www.jidesoft.com/products/download.htm
Link I have used - http://www.jidesoft.com/products/1.4/jide_demo.zip
extract the zip file and rename the file to jide-common.jar and copy it to location
<Oracle Home>/Middleware/Oracle_Home/odi/studio/extensions/oracle.odi.navigator.12/lib
After this go to
cd <Oracle Home>/Middleware/Oracle_Home/odi/studio/bin/
./odi -verbose
You should not see any error.
As this jidesoft jar is an evaluation version. you should follow their terms and conditions.
ODI Studio 11g can be installed on Mac OS X by downloading the Oracle Data Integrator Companion. I'm not sure it's the most reliable way to use ODI though.
You will first need that you have the right version of Java installed. You can check on the certification matrix and if needed install a new JDK.
Then unzip the companion archive, browse to the studio folder, unzip the other archive in there, browse to oracledi/client and start odi.sh. There might be a dialog box asking for the location of the JDK on the first start.
ODI Studio 12c doesn't run on OS X so far.
If the goal is just to try ODI and quickly learn it, I actually would rather recommend to download the free ODI Getting Started Virtual Machine that runs on Virtual Box. Everything will already be set up with an Oracle database, Golden Gate and much more.
I've had a look at the chef community cookbook for installing sql server and it appears that it's tailored for installing SQL express, but I can't seem to work out how to install a standard or developer edition.
The README on the GitHub page (https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/sql_server) says you can just point it to any installation package, however I can't see how you would do this for an ISO (or even the extracted contents of an ISO) given that there's no single EXE package on the ISO media.
Am I missing something obvious, or will I need to roll my own recipe for installing SQL from an ISO (or contents of ISO)? Ideally I would like to host the installation media on a central package repository behind my firewall.
Option 1:
Customized cookbook is the best option for you use case. Like you said, host .ISO on central repo and create a cookbook that mounts the .ISO drive to run the installation. You should leverage that cookbook template and re-write that windows_package block in the server.rb to install using keyword 'source' with path to the mounted installation files. However, this will be a major work (from past experience...) so if you have only one or two nodes that need to run the cookbook, go with Option 2.
Option 2:
If you have only one or two nodes that need to run the cookbook, I would suggest you to run the basic 'sql_server::server' then upgrade to the version you want using the GUI with the PID product key.
Note that this process can be automated as well using Powershell script. If you are familiar with Powershell, you can automate it using powershell_script block.
ISOs are intended for DVD images but if you have an ISO shredder (search online for free tools) you'll see a setup.exe in there. Run that and it'll bring you to the installation center where you can choose to install a new instance and do a bunch of other things. It's a wizard type interface so just read the instructions on each page and you should be able to provide the relevant info where needed to successfully complete the installation
I'm using MySql server on Mac OSX 10.6.7, and I've installed latest version of MySQL Workbench GUI to administrate it. When I try to Export a database, I get a message about mysqldump being version 5.1.34 and therefore incompatible with the server whose version is 5.5.9.
How can I update the mysqldump version to be compatible with my server?
Thanks
Look at the mysql installation folder. Most likely it is /usr/local/mysql/bin
You will find the mysqldump compatible to your mysql version. You need to tell mysqlworkbench to go and fetch mysqlworkbench from this location. To do that, open mysqlworkbench - preferences - admin
Your best bet is to trash what ever mysql server u have installed, and install it via Brew
Link
You can also just install mysql from in addition to the one you are running however this isnt advised.
brew install mysql
hopefully the brew version will be new enough to support it.
Before dumping your old mysql install however, it might be a good idea to do an export via a tool like navicat.
I had some problems to exactly know what and where to put the local path in the preferences.
here are some more detailed infos:
1- Go to mysqlworkbench and edit the preferences:
mysqlworkbench/preferences.../Administartion
2- Edit the "Path to mysqldump Tool:" field and select your local mysqldump
example: /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.21/bin/mysqldump
I download jdeveloper studio edition and install it in C:\Oracle\Middleware
then I install weblogic instance using C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\bin\config.exe
to C:\myproject\domains\myweblogic
Then download DMS_11.1.0.0.0_WINDOWS.zip and install it to C:\Oracle\Middleware\Mobile.
thereafter cant start
C:\Oracle\Middleware\Mobile\Mobile\Server\bin\runmobileserver.bat
unless i change the variable to this batch file
set DOMAIN_DIR=C:\myproject\domains\myweblogic
what do I do next to see that it works?
is there a simple example that creates a sigle table and synchronized between server and mobile clients?
very difficult to find information on this technology. interfere very popular tags (Oracle, Database).
If you install Database Mobile Server directly in the WebLogic directory, you will not need to edit the batch file. For instance, I believe the default install directory is:
C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
So if you used the default install directory, you would install Database Mobile Server there, with no added 'Mobile' or other directory. If you chose to install WebLogic elsewhere, then replace the above with that directory.
There is another small issue to be aware of.
The installer will give you warning about installing in a non-empty
directory. You should click through the warning. This is a known issue
documented in the Release Notes.
Regarding your other question about a demo, there is a Java demo found in
<MOBILE_HOME>\Mobile\Server\demos\consolidator_api
You will need to download a client and perform a sync, which is documented here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E22663_01/doc.11100/e22681/instsqlite.htm#BABGAACI
I hope that helps, good luck with your project. Let me know if you have further questions.

I have a client version of a software called KRONOS and i need to update this via a batch file that will run a MSI. First I need to check to see if the application is installed. If it is, I need to see what version it is to see if I need to uninstall prior to installing the new version. I was thinking of using something to check the Registry DisplayVersion but not sure how todo the compare within the BAT file.
The version that is installed is 3.64 but I need to upgrade to 3.611.
I was hoping to do this upon logon based on a certain date and certain users since not all users have this software BUT if a user logs on to a pc, the software gets installed, I still want it to get installed on another pc if the same user goes there.
Does anybody have something like this
Thanks in advance
You can make an MSI that will do the upgrade for you by uninstall the product if it is installed, this way you will basically only need to run the MSI and it will take care for everything.
You need to specify how you create the MSI in order to configure it to support upgrades.
