Best Practices for image layout and positioning using anchored frames in Framemaker 10

Hi,
I'm looking for the best practices in how to layout my images in Framemaker 10 so that they translate correctly to Robohelp 9. I currently have images inside of Anchored frames that "Run into" the right side of my text. I've adjusted the size of the anchored frame so that my text flows correctly around the image. Everything looks good in Framemaker! Yeah! The problem is that when I link my Framemaker document to Robohelp, the text does not flow around my image in the same manner. On a couple of Robohelp screens the image is running into the footer. I'm wondering if I should be using tables in Framemaker in order to get the page layout that I'm looking for. Also, I went back and forth...is this a Framemaker question or is this a Robohelp question. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I wish I could offer some advice, rather than simply adding to your question. I think there is something odd that happens with anchored frames.
I have been going through fits trying to figure out why the placement of my graphics shifts when I run them through Frame 10-to-RoboHelp 9 conversion. The placement in our books is flush left to the body text area. However, when they convert, some are flush left, some are centered, and a very few are flush right. My boss is very unhappy with me, as I have been unable to figure out why this is happening. I didn't create these files, so I don't know if it's something that goes back to how the graphics were initially imported. But I can't figure out why everything looks right in Framemaker, with the frame attached to an anchor tag, etc. but the placement goes hinky when they convert.
Any insights are appreciated. I'm wondering if it's going to come down to deleting them and recreating the graphic frame.

Best practices for image compression in dps

Hi! I have been reading up on best practices for image compression in dps, and I have read that the source assets of panoramas, image sequences, pan and zoom images, and audio skins are not resampled on upload. So you therefore need to resize them and compress them before dropping them into your article, because dps doesn't do it for you. Okay can do!
So then Im also reading that the source assets of slideshows, scrollable frames, and buttons ARE resampled as PNG images. Does this mean that DPS will compress them for you when you build the article? So does that mean I shouldn't bother going to the trouble of resizing these images at all? I can just pop in the 15mb 300dpi files used in the print magazine and dps will compress them upon building the article - and this will have no affect on file size?
And this is also the case with static background images?
Thanks for your help!

All images are automatically resampled based on the size of the folio you make. You can drop in whatever resolution image you want, it doesn't matter.

Best practices for graphic divs and classes

Nice day webmates, I am looking for good and simple tutorials
on creating divs with attractive looks, such as rounded corners,
own-customized (made in FW), displaying shadows... so I can type
content inside them... what are the best practices for this ?
thanks a lot in advance...

Bad example. When you increase text size that site becomes
unusable.
Best practice, don't use absolutely positioned divisions (aka
layers).

Best practice for OSB, OER and OSR

Hi,
I would like to know what are the best practices for using OSB, OER and OSR together in a run-time environment for a simple WSDL service.
From how I see it:
1) Create service-definition in OER
2) Create proxy and business service in OSB
3) Use harvester to harvest the proxy and business services in OER
4) Use Exchange Utility to publish the proxy service to OSR
Then the client and discover the proxy service and use OSB for invoking the operations from service.
Kindly correct me where I am wrong.
Some questions:
1) Do we ever publish business service to OSR? Or is it only meant for proxy services?
2) Is synching of OSB and OSR only meant when we are not using OER?
Looking forward...

Hi Anuj,
Thanks for the links, they have been helpful.
I understand now that OSR is only meant to contain only Proxy services. The synch facility is between OSR and OSB so that in case when you are not using OER, you can publish Proxy services to OSR from OSB. What I didn't understand was why there was a option to publish a Proxy service back to OSB and why it ended up as a Business service. From the link you provided, it mentioned that this case is for multi-domain OSBs, where one OSB wants to use the other OSB's service. It is clear now.
Some more questions:
1) In the design-time, in OER no Endpoints are generated for Proxy services. Then how do we publish our design-time services to OSR for testing purposes? What is the correct way of doing this?
Thanks,
Umar

Best practice for Error logging and alert emails

I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I have Excel files that are imported with Exel Source and OLE DB Destination. Scheduled Jobs runs every night SSIS packages.
I'm looking for advice that what is best practice for production environment.Requirements are followings:
1) If error occurs with tasks, email is sent to admin
2) If error occurs with tasks, we have log in flat file or DB
Kenny_I

Are you asking about difference b/w using standard logging and event handlers? I prefer latter as using standard logging will not always data in the way in which we desire. So we've developed a framework to add necessary functionalities inside event handlers
and log required data in the required format to a set of tables that we maintain internally.

Best Practice for Multiple iTunes and One Account?

My wife and I share our account for our iPhone Applications and Songs in iTunes.
Can someone point me to a topic that covers a best practice for multiple iTunes syncing?
I travel a lot and keep my iPhone synced to my Macbook Pro while she uses the workstation at home to sync to. We keep the addresses and contacts and calendars synced through MobileMe, however, I'm trying to find the best way of pushing applications and songs I've bought over to the other PC so they're still around while I'm traveling for her to sync with.
Thoughts?

Hi Steve,
Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
Hope this Helps!!!
Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

Best practices for handling elements and symbols (including preloading)

I am trying to learn Edge Animate and I have not seen enough animations to know how this is typically handled and I searched the forum and have not found an answer either.
If you have many different elements and symbols for a project, what is the best practice for having them appear, disappear, etc. on the timeline? I ask this question not only from a performance based perspective, but also keeping in mind the idea of preloading. This is a 2 part question:
Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:
Since artwork is always imported directly to the stage in an "always on" status, should we place a visibility OFF on every item until we need it?
or should they be opacity 0 until I need them?
or should they be set to visibility hidden until I need them?
Which of these is the best option if you don't want the element / symbol visible until later in the timeline? Does it matter?
Part 2: Impact on page loading
Does the above question have any impact upon page loading speed
or is this something handled in preloading?
or do you need to make a special preloader?
Thanks for the help.

Hi, escargo-
Good questions!
Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:
Since artwork is always imported directly to the stage in an "always on" status, should we place a visibility OFF on every item until we need it?
or should they be opacity 0 until I need them?
or should they be set to visibility hidden until I need them?
Which of these is the best option if you don't want the element / symbol visible until later in the timeline? Does it matter?
I would recommend that you set your visibility to "off" instead of simply changing the opacity. The reason I suggest this is that when your visibility is set to off, your object's hit points also disappear. If you have any type of interactivity, having the object still visible but with 0 opacity will interfere with anything you have underneath it in the display order.
Part 2: Impact on page loading
Does the above question have any impact upon page loading speed
or is this something handled in preloading?
or do you need to make a special preloader?
Thanks for the help.
No, none of this has any impact on page load. As you already noticed, all of the assets of your project will load before it displays. If you want only part of your composition to load, you may want to do what we call a multi-composition project. There's a sample of that in the Edge Animate API in the Advanced section, and plenty of posts in the forums (and one in the team's blog) explaining how to do that.

Best Practices for BI, ADF and Oracle Forms installations on Weblogic

Hi, I'm researching options on upgrading to Oracle 11g Middleware. My company currently has Oracle Forms 10g running on Oracle Application Server.
We are interested in using Oracle Forms 11g, ADF and Jdeveloper, and Business Intelligence with Oracle's Weblogic 10.3.5.
Is there any whitepapers or documentation on best practices for installing alll of these components together?
For instance, can ADF ( with JSF 2.x ) be installed in the same domain as Oracle Forms 11g but use different managed servers?
Will Business Intelligence need to be in a seperate Oracle Home with it's own weblogic installation? I spend a lot of time trying to get the JSF upgraded to 2.x in the Business Intelligence installation and could not get it to work.
I know it's a pretty broad question but thank you for any direction on this.

Thanx for the reply! I read through the documents and they are very good at explaining how to install the different components individually. I still can't find much on installing them together. I hope it's not just going to be a trial and error thing.
So far I've installed done the following successfully:
Installed 10.3.5 weblogic
Forms and Reports 11g on top of 10.3.5
I've created an additional managed server for our ADF applications.
My next step is upgrading the JSF to 2.x. I would have to stage patches 12917525 and 12979653. I'm afraid it will break the forms and reports though. Any ideas?

What are the best practices for Database management and performance tuning?

Hello,
I want to ensure that I am using the best practices for managing and maintaining our Database.
Is there any documentation out there that outlines how to maintain and ensure top performance out of our database?
Thank you!
John Sefton

I appreciate the responses, however this is not the information I am looking for.
I am specificaly looking for best practices invloving the managment and performance tuning.
Example: are their tools that I can install that will monitor the size and response time of the database and alert me if there is degradation in performance?
Are there specific periodic activities I should be doing to garuntee that my database will continue to function that way it is supposed to?
Or is this a fire and forget solution that does not need this attention?

Best Practice for Portal Patches and effort estimation

Hi ,
One of our client is applying the following patches
1. ECC 6.0 SP15(currently SP14)
2. ESS MSS SP15(currently SP14 with some level of functional customization )
3. EP 7 SP18(currently SP14)
We would like to kwow the best practice for applying portal patches and the effort estimation for redoing the portal devt on the new patch.
o   What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
o   How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
     manually re-entered?
o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
    Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
Regards,
Revathi Raju.

Hi Revathi,
o What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
overall effort to apply the patch is apprx 1/2-1 days for NW7 system. This is exclude the patch files download because it's based on your download speed.
o How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
manually re-entered?
Depending on your customization. Normally it wont effect if you created the customzation application apart from SAP standard application
o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
Any change that related to NWDI, you might be need to re-deployed from NWDI itself.
Thanks

AZLY

Best practice for component layout?

Hi,can people tell me their views on best practice in this area, using JSF.
Eg, say I want this:
    LabelSml    InputField
    LabelLarge InputField... ie 2 labels, 2 fields, vertically alligned, and with some space between the label and the field.
and this one:
    Field                             Field... ie 2 fields with a lot of space between them.
Finally, are there any examples on the web of UIs with many discrete fields on them (as opposed to logon/helloWorld and matrix data control), where I can look at how the design has been done.
Marc

I don't know if our solution is a best practice. We are not using the label property of input components because the alignment does not satisfy then. Instead we are using a <h:panelGrid> and nest <ui:label> and <ui:textField> (Studio Creator components) components in it. Multiple components in one cell are surrounded with a nested layout or grid panel. The number of columns is set by the attribute "columns" and width is controlled by the attribute "columnClasses".

Best practice for image inserts

I am planning to create new webhelp topics and edit existing
topics in my project. Is it the best practice to place graphics
files in the same folder as the HTML input files?

I personally have always avoided the use of folders, maybe
because most of my projects were large merged projects, which
already contain multiple project "folders." Also, renaming/deleting
these beasties later on can be a bear, as evidenced by many
angst-ridden threads in this forum.
Let RH place them in its own "virtual" Images folder and
leave it at that. Unless...do you feel lucky?
By the way, best practice (at least mine) is to name
everything (projects, topics, graphics) with no spaces, very brief,
and possibly with 2- to 3-character prefixes to more easily
identify them (possibly application features, for example). Such
as: sa_user_cfg.gif for a screenshot of the User Configuration
window for System Administration.
Good luck,
Leon

Best practice for image resolution

Although my source images files are high quality and look great in photoshop etc when they are viewed within a folio on the iPad the image quality drops. I'm using JPEG high when creating the folio but it still looks pretty blurry. It's OK, but nowhere near as sharp as i feel it could be.
There seems to be something going during the conversion process that reduces the quality.
Given that I have some nice, sharp hi-res masters, how should I be putting them in the folios to maximise image quality. I tried creating the folio at the highest quality and there was no difference. I've resaved the images at the size that they will appear in the folio.
(*bangs head against the wall*)
Thanks
