I am trying to migrate reports from BOBJ 4.1 SP5 Patch 3 from Development to Production using Upgrade management tool.
However after the upgrade is completed, I see that no security for folders or reports is migrated. Is there anything I need to select or the Upgrade management cannot migrate security.
Best way to "migrate" (publish I said) is Central Management Console > Promotion Management. With this option you can choose whatever you select (folders, access levels, universes, connections...)
Is this what you were looking for?
Best regards

I would like to know the steps involved in migrating the Oracle Iplanet webserver(v6) to WAS Liberty profile. Also please let me know the feasibility and the challenges involved.
The changes needed will depend on the application being migrated. You can use the binary scanner tool to scan your application for changes needed to migrate to liberty. Run the tool against your war/ear/jar file(s) with the --sourceAppServer=other --targetAppServer=liberty options.
I only installed TFS 2013 on the application tier and didn't go through the configuration wizard to upgrade to 2013.2. Do I need to restore any databases if I restore a snapshot of the application tier? (Does just installing new bits of TFS on the app tier affect the data tier?)
No installing the bits does not affect the data tier. You need to configure the application tier to point at the data tier before it will have any effect.
If you already have databases and you are upgrading in place then you can just "configure app tier only".
If you are on new hardware then you need to follow the new hardware workflow to install...

I can't find this answer anywhere and maybe I'm just not getting it. I am installing TFS 2013.3 and I no matter what wizard I choose, there is no option to configure reporting services.
Environments tried:
Windows 7 Enterprise / MS SQL 2012 Express / TFS 2013.3 Express
Windows 8 Professional / MS SQL 2012 Developer / TFS 2013.3 Standard
I am about to try on a Windows Server 2012 SP1 machine shortly in case it has to be a server level machine. I looked on the MSDN for hardware and software support for both SQL/TFS and the above configurations are ok.
Pre-configuration tasks
SQL server pre-installed
SQL configured with Reporting and Analysis services enabled
User to install and configure both SQL and TFS is in the local Admin group
Used both the Basic and Advanced wizards during setup
I'm not sure what I am missing, but it seems that not doing something to be able to use the built in reports. It doesn't look like I need SharePoint for that.
Any ideas?
From MSDN:
You can install Team Foundation Server on a client computer that is
running one of the operating systems in the table. However, client
operating systems do not support integration with SharePoint Products,
reporting, or the ability to run TFS proxy. ...
If you want to use any of these features, you must install Team
Foundation Server on a server operating system.
Emphasis mine.
In our organization we are using Hyper-V VMs. We are using Progress Database and apps in the workstations.
For us to migrate into the Microsoft Azure cloud, do we have to migrate our existing Progress database to SQL and rewrite our apps ?
No. You haven't given us much detail about your applications or architecture, but if I make the assumption that you are using the embedded database product by Progress software, then I see no reason that can't run on an Azure VM.
There is a WCF service which is running under IIS. This service accesses the files in its folder, it accesses a SQL Server database and it writes messages to the EventLog.
The deployment platform is Windows Server 2008 in some datacenter. I developed the service, but I'm really still a beginner.
The deployment will causes the creation of a new Windows user account and, possibly, a role that is assigned to that user. This is needed to start the service from a separate account with strictly defined rights (as I understand, this approach is recommended, but not to start the service from NT Service account).
Obviously, the deployment needs to run scripts to create database, tables, scheduling of tasks.
What tools could you advice to accomplish such a deployment? Maybe I can use the standard Setup Project? Or some third-party tools such as WiX Toolset? Should I use PowerShell to create windows user account and role?
There is also a question: should I pull the prerequisites, such as .NET framework installer, SQL Server installer?
You can rely on Windows installer using tools like WIX, InstallShield or Advanced Installer. WIX is the only free one albeit it has a higher learner curve. There are other free windows installation software solutions available as well such as NSIS. You can also write your own scripts such as in Powershell to create the IIS virtual directory, application pool and connect to the RDBMS to create the schema. You'll probably also would like to have an undeployment solution so you can uninstall it and upgrade it in the future. The Windows installer based tools almost gives you uninstall for free because it maintains a database of everything that was done during installation sans the custom actions you write such as the database schema setup.
For the user configuration part, some of these tools such as Advanced Installer can create new user accounts. However to define user rights assignment you might have to rely on a custom script using ntrights.exe from the Windows resource kit.
As of my knowledge there is no automated deployment tool available for WCF because its require lots of manual configuration.
But you can try Octopus for .NET applications
