Re: ARS 7.6.04 SP2 Solaris installer Oracle db.
Just catching up on this thread that I overlooked... Understandably since the installer may need to shuffle data into temporary tables and back. Production probably had ~100,000 more records in CMDB staging datasets than test. It is possible that a back end forms like FB:History had way more records in one system than the other however the db sizes were pretty close. I am not sure a difference in number of records still explains the times when the installer log and a db trace are not showing any activity.

Of course there is some type of relation between hardware and time but I can't figure it out. In our case the production db is a physical server with 24 cores and 48 gb of ram and test is a VM with 4 CPUs assigned and 8 gb of ram. The production app server is a VM with 2 cores and 6 gb of ram and test is a VM with 2 cores and 4 gb of ram. There is a little more data in the production db vs. the test db. I would think this would fairly negligible since both were not really being used. I scheduled our production outage for 48 hours (with a little extra time) based on the time it took to perform the same steps in test with the additional step of running BPCU (I skipped this in production since we had about 6 custom/modified objects that I converted manually). Test took a little less than 48 hours and this included ironing out the process and had the extra BPCU time. I was pretty certain upgrading production would be much faster. It turns out that it took production longer than a lighter weight test environment.

Since there are almost 300 forms in that def file, I’m going to let BMC

HPD:Help Desk (one field, Reported Source was given Other as a Default

HPD:HelpDesk_AuditLogSystem, and neither of those is in the problematic def

Re: ARS 7.6.04 SP2 Solaris installer Oracle db.
I think that is why BMC is starting to promote the idea of doing the time consuming work on a staging server and then promoting that to production in a shorter outage window. It is an upgrade, just on an offline system then do a delta sync of the data to bring it up-to-date. Since this environment is very lightly used I skipped creating two more environments for upgrade and reference and took the 48 hour downtime (because I could at the time).

Re: ARS 7.6.04 SP2 Solaris installer Oracle db.
The hardware size appears to have little to do with the install times. Of course there is some type of relation between hardware and time but I can't figure it out. In our case the production db is a physical server with 24 cores and 48 gb of ram and test is a VM with 4 CPUs assigned and 8 gb of ram. The production app server is a VM with 2 cores and 6 gb of ram and test is a VM with 2 cores and 4 gb of ram. There is a little more data in the production db vs. the test db. I would think this would fairly negligible since both were not really being used. I scheduled our production outage for 48 hours (with a little extra time) based on the time it took to perform the same steps in test with the additional step of running BPCU (I skipped this in production since we had about 6 custom/modified objects that I converted manually). Test took a little less than 48 hours and this included ironing out the process and had the extra BPCU time. I was pretty certain upgrading production would be much faster. It turns out that it took production longer than a lighter weight test environment.

You may want to compare the data in the system between your test and prod envs. I'm not a DBA, but what I've seen seems to be that the more rows in your db that need to have columns added / changed / etc, the longer it takes. - Original Message - From: Jason Miller jason.mil...@gmail.com To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 6:01:43 PM Subject: Re: ARS 7.6.04 SP2 Solaris installer Oracle db. ** The hardware size appears to have little to do with the install times. Of course there is some type of relation between hardware and time but I can't figure it out. In our case the production db is a physical server with 24 cores and 48 gb of ram and test is a VM with 4 CPUs assigned and 8 gb of ram. The production app server is a VM with 2 cores and 6 gb of ram and test is a VM with 2 cores and 4 gb of ram. There is a little more data in the production db vs. the test db. I would think this would fairly negligible since both were not really being used. I scheduled our production outage for 48 hours (with a little extra time) based on the time it took to perform the same steps in test with the additional step of running BPCU (I skipped this in production since we had about 6 custom/modified objects that I converted manually). Test took a little less than 48 hours and this included ironing out the process and had the extra BPCU time. I was pretty certain upgrading production would be much faster. It turns out that it took production longer than a lighter weight test environment.

Delete all existing records in DLD:SYS:DataLoadStatus that were preventing SP2 from creating a unique index on InstanceId There were 126 old records in there with GUIDs that are NOT UNIQUE on a case-insensitive system (SQL Server). Looking at the production system which had no records in that form, it actually looks like the unique index was created by the upgrade to 7.6.04. – which is when I have been told it was introduced. Somehow, my test system got past that and SP1 both without the installation hanging – until SP2. The installation of ITSM 7.6.04 SP2 has been running since 10:30 AM; we’ll see how long it takes, but this is on a low powered VM and isn’t a good measure of what it will take on production grade equipment. From what you’re saying, Pat, it doesn’t do very well on MUCH higher-powered servers, either. I guess the Thanksgiving holiday will be my first window of opportunity for applying a service pack that runs for hours and hours and hours to the production environment.

Re: ARS 7.6.04 SP2 Solaris installer Oracle db.
My installs are failing after only 70 or 80 minutes. I cleaned up the first
defect and it has now failed on another. Apparently SP2 depends on things that
failed to happen properly during my 7.6.03 upgrades from earlier versions, so
it is unable to complete. Nothing here to instill confidence for planning a
rapid move to SP2 in the production environment.

Since there are almost 300 forms in that def file, I'm going to let BMC figured
out what they did wrong. The only form I overlaid on the server is HPD:Help
Desk (one field, Reported Source was given Other as a Default value) and one of
the 7.6.04 upgrades added an overlay for HPD:HelpDesk_AuditLogSystem, and
neither of those is in the problematic def file.

Re: ARS 7.6.04 SP2 Solaris installer Oracle db.
BMC Support indicates that there is a known defect with a view ID that
basically prevents the ITSM SP2 installer from completing successfully. It
looks like it will affect all of my available environments.

The rik.err error was:
Definition File (D:\Program Files (x86)\BMC
Software\BMCRemedyITSMSuite\ITSMT01\Workflow\install\7.6.04_sp2_overlay_install\systems\fnd\workflow\en\.\fnd_deplapp.def)
import failed with error code (392) :- (Field/VUI name must be unique for the
form -- there is already a field or VUI using this name)
Since there are almost 300 forms in that def file, I'm going to let BMC figured
out what they did wrong. The only form I overlaid on the server is HPD:Help
Desk (one field, Reported Source was given Other as a Default value) and one of
the 7.6.04 upgrades added an overlay for HPD:HelpDesk_AuditLogSystem, and
neither of those is in the problematic def file.

Oh, I doubt that (that there is any hope for me)... my downloads are from last
week. The Atrium SP2 applied clean on the second try, but the ITSM SP2 just
completed with a failure. So far the SP2 installers are NOT looking good at
all.
