Archiving and Migrating

 
Problem
Explanation/Solution

Base Archive Sets:

Base archive set status remains stuck in In Process.

First, verify that the objects in the Base archive set are from the Base Object Source (Base Final). Also, verify that you selected the All on Migration Path radio button in the Lock in Environment box on the Objects tab in the PeopleSoft® Change Management window.

A base archive set may remain in process if:

Any objects are locked in another CSR (for example, you have a reservation for an object in the Base database)

The Quest® Stat® Central Agent lost connectivity to the environment and/or the network

There are no objects that can be archived for the base environment on the CSR.

Printing

 
Problem
Explanation/Solution

When changing the printer (File | Print Setup) to generic text only, the font for the open description on CSRs changes to Roman 10cpi. This is the only available font listed until changing the printer back and re-opening the CSR.

Quest® Stat® has no control over font displays. This is a function of Windows®. Similar behavior occurs in Microsoft® Word.

Receive the following error message from the Stat Central Agent when printing a scheduled report “-9 error opening print job in Stat Central Agent scheduled report”

Verify that the printer to which you are trying to print your scheduled job exists on the machine where the Stat Central Agent is running. Also verify that the Host Printer name on the Stat Central Agent matches the printer name on the machine. For more information on the Stat Central Agent Printers, see the book Stat System Administration, Chapter 6, “Configuring the Stat Central Agent”.

Appendix: Migration Options

With the various wizards and migration tools provided by Stat, you can migrate objects in several different ways. However, depending on the kind of migration you want to perform, you must use certain wizards and tools instead of others. For example, you can use the Rapid Recovery Wizard to migrate an archive set that is in a closed CSR, but you cannot use the Archive Sync Wizard.

This appendix compares the various wizards and migration tools and tells you which ones you should use depending on the kind of migration you want to perform.

* 
NOTE: Access to certain migration tools and wizards is controlled by user class rights.

Appendix: User-Specific Parameters

This appendix provides instructions for defining user-specific post migration step parameters.

In the Post Migration Step Parameters Maintenance table, system administrators define public user-based parameters that can be included in the definition of post migration command steps. However, because these parameters specify a set of default values that may not be applicable to you, such as user ids or download directories, you can define parameters that apply specifically to you. You can define entirely new parameters, or you can define user-specific values that override the default values of public parameters.

For more information on post migration parameters, see the book Stat System Administration, Chapter 5, “General Maintenance Tables”.

To define user-specific parameters:
1
Select User Options | Pre/Post Migration User Parameters.
When first opened, the Post Migration User Parameters window displays the public user-based parameters that have been defined by system administrators in the Post Migration Parameters Maintenance table. Here you can create a new parameter that is specific to you, or you can define a value specific to you that overrides the values of a public parameter.
2
To define a new parameter, do the following:
a
Click New.
b
Enter the parameter name.
c
Enter the parameter value in the My Value field.
* 
NOTE: If you do not enter a parameter value, the value defaults to null.
d
(Optional) Select the encrypted option if you do not want the parameter value to be visible to users executing the post migration custom command step.
3
To define a user-specific value for a public parameter, do the following:
a
Select the parameter and enter the value you want in the My Value field.
When used in the definition of a custom command post migration step, this value will be used instead of the public value.
a
(Optional) Select the encrypted option if you do not want the parameter value to be visible to users executing the post migration custom command step.
4
Click OK.
