Is there a best practice for deleting a published report from C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\FileStore on Crystal Reports Server or can I just delete the subfolders? Does it reference them elsewhere? I have a load of old reports I need to shed, but can't see how to do it.

Hi,
You can refer the SRND guide. As per document (page -292)
you can configured -You can add a maximum of 50 agents per team.

Also you can check the Bill of Material document of UCCE , under the section "Operating Conditions, Unified ICM, Unified CC" What are the number should configure in UCCE.

Best Practice for Deleted AD Users

In our environment, we are not using AD groups. Users are being added individually. We are running User Profile Service but I am aware that when a user is deleted in AD, they stay in the content database in the UserInfo table so that some metadata can be
retained (created by/modified by/etc).
What are best practices for whether or not to get rid of them from the content database(s)?
What do some of you consultants/admins out there do about this? It was brought up as a concern to me that they are still being seen in some list permissions/people picker, etc.
Thank you!

Personally I would keep them to maintain metadata consistency (Created By etc as you say). I've not had it raised as a concern anywhere I've worked.
However, there are heaps of resources online to delete such users (even in bulk via Powershell). As such, I am unaware of cases of deleting them causing major problems.

Best Practice for BEX Query "PUBLISH to ROLE"?

Hello.
We are trying to determine the best practice for publishing BEX queries/views/workbooks to ROLEs.
To be clear of the process I am referring: from the BEX Query Designer, there is an option QUERY>PUBLISH>TO ROLE. This function updates the user menu of the selected security role with essentially a shortcut to the BEX query. It is also possible to save VIEWS/WORKBOOKS to a role from the BEX Analyzer menu. We have found ROLE menus to be a good way to organize BEX queries/views/workbooks for our users.
Our dilemma is whether to publish to the role in our DEV system and transport to PROD,... or if it is ok to publish to the role directly in the PROD system.
Publishing in DEV is not always possible, as we have objects in PROD that do not exist in DEV. For example, we allow power users to create queries directly in PROD. We also allow VIEWS and WORKBOOKS to be created directly in PROD. It would not be possible to publish types of objects in DEV.
Publishing in PROD eliminates the issues above, but causes concerns for our SECURITY team. We would be able to maintain these special roles directly in PROD.
Would appreciate any ideas, suggestions, examples of how others are handling this BEX publish-to-role process.
Thank you.

Hi Joel,
Again as per the Best Practices.Nothing to be created in PRD,even if we create them in PRD for Power users its assumed as temprory and can be deleted at any time.
So if there are already deviations then you can go for deviations in this case as well but it wont be the Best Practice.Also in few cases we have workbooks created in PRD as they cud nt be created in DEV due to various reasons...in such cases we did not think of Best Practice ,we had a raised an OSS on this aswell.
In our Project,we have done everything in DEV and transported to PRD,in case there were any very Minor changes at query level we have done in PRD and immedialtely replicated the same in DEV so that they are in SYNC.

Best practice for deletion of SAP standard configuration

Does anyone have any documentation related to deletion of standard SAP configuration? My client is requesting deletion of all the standard delivered company codes and I believe it is best practice to never delete them. I am looking for supporting documentation that supports this.

Rhonda,
I have never seen a system where the standard delivered company codes did not exist, so I can't say what the implications of deletion are. I suppose it is possible to do....
For documentation, I guess you could search through service.sap.com/support.
I would think you would respond to the request as follows:
Tell the client it will be extra work to delete the items. Which will translate into additional billable fees.
Tell the client (in writing) that you cannot predict what all possible outcomes will be, but that you are willing to work with him to fix anything that gets broken in the process. For additional billable fees.
In the end, the client is paying for your advice and your services. In the end, he owns the license and the system upon which it is running. He can have anything he wants, there is no other 'right' or 'wrong'.
I suggest you don't delete anything in client 000. Most companies keep this as a reference. If the client later decides to reconstruct, this would be a nice source of info.
Since company codes greatly affect FI/CO, you might want to post the question in one of those forums.

Bad bind variable & best practice for delete

I am working with three tables and very new to SQL. I need to create a procedure that will accept an ID and go through two sub tables and delete child records. Item is the main table. I am passing in the ID into the procedure and I want to use it as below. I keep getting a bad bind variable error message. I have verified that the table is setup as a number and my procedure accepts a number. I also want someone to review this from best practice as I am new to procedures.
PROCEDURE DeleteItem (p_ItemID IN NUMBER, p_RowsAffected OUT number)
IS
p_RowsAffected NUMBER;
-- select the itemdetail for the analysis
CURSOR c_itemdetail
IS
SELECT
itemdetailid
FROM itemDETAIL
WHERE itemid = :p_ItemID;
BEGIN
-- loop through each itemdetail and delete the itemdetailoutlay
FOR r_itemdetail IN c_itemdetail
LOOP
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEMDETAILOUTLAY
WHERE itemdetailid = r_itemdetail.itemdetailid;
COMMIT;
END;
END LOOP;
-- delete the itemdetail
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEMDETAIL
WHERE itemid = :p_ItemID;
COMMIT;
END;
-- delete the main item
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEM
WHERE itemdid = :p_ItemID;
COMMIT;
p_RowsAffected := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
END;
END DeleteItem;

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
As you may notice, this site normally compresses white-space. Whenever you post code, or any formatted text, on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
I don't think you mean to use bind variables anywhere, so don't use colons before any variable names. You were doing this correctly with p_RowsAffected; do the same thing with p_ItemID.
Try this:PROCEDURE DeleteItem (p_ItemID IN NUMBER, p_RowsAffected OUT number)
IS
-- p_RowsAffected NUMBER;     -- Don't name local variables the same as arguments
-- select the itemdetail for the analysis
CURSOR c_itemdetail
IS
SELECT
itemdetailid
FROM itemDETAIL
WHERE itemid = p_ItemID;     -- No : before p_ItemID
BEGIN
-- loop through each itemdetail and delete the itemdetailoutlay
FOR r_itemdetail IN c_itemdetail
LOOP
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEMDETAILOUTLAY
WHERE itemdetailid = r_itemdetail.itemdetailid;
COMMIT;
END;
END LOOP;
-- delete the itemdetail
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEMDETAIL
WHERE itemid = p_ItemID;     -- No : before p_ItemID
COMMIT;
END;
-- delete the main item
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEM
WHERE itemdid = p_ItemID;     -- No : before p_ItemID
COMMIT;
p_RowsAffected := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
END;
END DeleteItem;
The most important "best practice" with PL/SQL is to avoid doing it whenever possible.
If SQL offers a way o do the same thing, it's usally best not to code anything in PL/SQL.
Have you considered foreign key constraints, with "ON DELETE CASCADE"? That way, you could simply "DELETE FROM item", and all the dependent rows in the other tables would automatically be deleted.   You wouldn't need to remember to call a procedure like this; in fact, you would have no need for a procedure like this.
Given that you do have such a procedure:
You're doing row-by-row processing, which some mad wags like to call "slow-by-slow" processing.
For example, iYou're xplicitly finding each ItemDetailID separately, and deleting each one separately, like this:... CURSOR c_itemdetail
IS
SELECT
itemdetailid
FROM itemDETAIL
WHERE itemid = p_ItemID;
-- loop through each itemdetail and delete the itemdetailoutlay
FOR r_itemdetail IN c_itemdetail
LOOP
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEMDETAILOUTLAY
WHERE itemdetailid = r_itemdetail.itemdetailid;
COMMIT;
END;
END LOOP;
It's more efficient for the system (and less coding for you) if you let SQL handle as much as possible, so do this instead...     DELETE FROM ItemDetailOutlay
     WHERE ItemDetailID IN
          ( SELECT itemdetailid
          FROM     itemDETAIL
          WHERE     itemid     = p_ItemID
Do you really want to COMMIT 3 times? 0 or 1 times might be better.
What happens if there is some kind of error, say, after you've delete rows form ItemDetailOutlay and ItemDetail, but before you've delete from Item? Wouldn't you want the entire transaction to fail, and leave all three tables in a consistent state? If so, either have the calling procedure COMMIT, or have a single COMMIT at the end of DelteItem.

Is there a best practice for multi location server setups including mac mail server?

Afternoon all,
Last year I setup a client with Snow Leopard Server including hosting his mail on the server with Mac Mail Server and calendaring. He now has plans to open other sites with the same setup, how can this be done using Mac Server? The implementation of a new server on the new site would be straight forward my concerns / question are:
1. How would the two servers communicate?
    a.)Do they need to communicate?
3. How will mail across the two sites work?
    a.) How will DNS work for email internally?
    b.) How will DNS work for emai externally?
4. How will calendaring work across the two sites?
Is Mac Server the best platform for moving ahead with this type of business need?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Anthony

Camelot,
many thanks for the speedy reply. Your comments are very helpful thank you, if I may I will give you some for information and some other questions.
The offices will be from 5 miles to 25 miles apart, the new office and ones that follow will be considered as branches of the main office for example the company name is Sunflower and it serves area 1, then new will office will serve area 2 and so on. So in theory I could leave the main server domain and mail mx record as sunflower and then add further servers as 2.sunflower.com, 3.sunflower.com as domains and mx records? This would then provide unique mail records and users within the organisation such as [email protected] and [email protected], which doesnt look to good I would prefer all users to be name@sunflower how can this be acheived?
With regard to user activity in the whole users will be fixed but their will be floaters such as managers and the owners that may at times float from one office to the other and would beneift from logging into any machine and getting their profile.
I have thought about VPN's as I have acheieved this type of setup with Microsoft server products, I have found speed issues in some cases, how can this be acheived using OS X, are there any how to docs around? In the Microsoft setup I acheived this using netgear VPN Firewalls which ofcourse adds an overhead, can this be acheived using OS X propietary VPN software?
So ultimatley I would prefer to have the one domain without subs "sunflower.com" and users to be able to login to their profiles from either location. The main location now will remain as headoffice and the primary location and the new will be satelites.
I hope that covers all of your other question, again many thanks for your comments and time.
Kind Regards
Anthony

BEST PRACTICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF REPORTS CLUSTER

Hi,
i've read the noter reports_gueide_to_changed_functionality on OTN.
On Page 5 ist stated that reports cluster is deprecated.
Snippet:
Oracle Application Server High Availability provides the industrys most
reliable, resilient, and fault-tolerant application server platform. Oracle
Reports integration with OracleAS High Availability makes sure that your
enterprise-reporting environment is extremely reliable and fault-tolerant.
Since using OracleAS High Availability provides a centralized clustering
mechanism and several cutting-edge features, Oracle Reports clustering is now
deprecated.
Please can anyone tell me, what is the best practice to replace reports cluster.
It's really annoying that the clustering technology is changing in every version of reports!!!
martin

hello,
in reality, reports server "clusters" was more a load balancing solution that a clustering (no shared queue or cache). since it is desirable to have one load-balancing/HA approach for the application server, reports server clustering is deprecated in 10gR2.
we understand that this frequent change can cause some level of frustration, but it is our strong believe that unifying the HA "attack plan" for all of the app server components will utimatly benefit custoemrs in simpifying their topologies.
the current best practice is to deploy LBRs (load-balancing routers) with sticky-routing capabilites to distribute requests across middletier nodes in an app-server cluster.
several custoemrs in high-end environments have already used this kind of configuration to ensure optimal HA for their system.
thanks,
philipp

Best practice for deleting data based on mismatch

I have two tables which share the same key columns (one is an extension table of the other, basically)
INVPARTINSTOCK_C is current data
INVPARTINSTOCK_D is a date extension table
I want to remove all data in D which is not in C
I can gather a list of mismatched data by using:
select
d.Contract,
d.Part_No,
d.Location_No,
d.Lot_Batch_No,
d.Serial_No,
d.Eng_Chg_Level
from invpartinstock_d d
MINUS
select
c.Contract,
c.Part_No,
c.Location_No,
c.Lot_Batch_No,
c.Serial_No,
c.Eng_Chg_Level
from invpartinstock_c c but how do I apply that to a DELETE FROM INVPARTINSTOCK_D WHERE... ?
Thanks

1) It depends on, at least, the data volumes we're talking about, but
DELETE FROM dtable
WHERE (column_list) IN (your_minus_query)should be functionally correct. Probably more efficient would be
DELETE FROM invpartinstock_d d
WHERE NOT EXISTS(
    SELECT 1
      FROM invpartinstock_c c
     WHERE c.contract = d.contract
    )2) Why isn't there a foreign key relationship that prevents this sort of mismatch in the first place?

Best practice for deleting data

I need to clear several years' worth of data from our environment. In addition, we have a number of categories that need to be cleared as well. Is there any need to actually clear the data prior to making making the dimension changes? Or is it enough to simply remove the time periods and categories in question and process those dimensions?

Hi Pablo,
If your requirement is clearing only transactional data you can clear via clear data manager package and if you want delete master data of time and category, first you need to clear all the trasactional data of that member and then delete master data. You can not delete directly master data without deleting trasactional data, if there is data associated to that member system will not allow to delete member.

Is there any best practice for printer configuration for test environment?

My Oracle ebs test environment has a scheduled refresh period where it will be refreshed with production test data and configuration time to time for BA, Dev to work on their enhancement.
However, all the printer configurations are still pointing to production ones after refreshed, which means whenever there is a testing on-going, the doc / label / invoices will be printed to production printer.
May I know if there is a way to globally change all the printer setup for the test environment, so that nothing will be directly to production?... Please assist.
(currently, the only way is to change one by one and only if you are aware of it...)
In case your organization has any other strategy on this matter, pls share also... Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.If you do not want to use same printers then you have to it to point to the (TEST/BA Printers) after you are done with Rapid Clone. Any new printers need to be added manually (just the same way you defined you PROD printers) -- Rapid Clone Documentation Resources For Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]
If you want to edit the configuration, you could use FNDLOAD to download printers definition from the source instance, update the ldt file and use FNDLOAD to upload printers definitions.

Is there a best practice for copying or moving tasks between schedules?

Working Project Pro 2010 and PWA/ Server 2010.
What is the best way to copy or move tasks from one project schedule to another, with out using copy and paste?

Hi ShayKm,
Without using copy/paste, a solution is to save the project file containing only the tasks to copy as XML format.
Then use the import wizard (file, open, select XML format and the wizard will launch) which will propose you to merge the XML file to the current (ie new) file or to add it to the current file.
The same process can be done with XLS format, eventhough it is a bit more complicated to map fields.
Then of course VBA could be used to automatize a copy/paste process between files.
Hope this helps.

Are there any "Best Practices" for the setting of the variables in the magnus.conf file when configuring iWS4.1 ?

The default values written to magnus.conf are suitable for most installations.
If you are interested in tuning your web server for performance, the "Performance Tuning, Sizing, and Scaling Guide" at http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/enterprise.html

What is the best practice for running a long report/query against an active database?

We are using SQL Server 2012 EE but currently do not have the option to run queries on a R/O mirror though that is my long term goal. I am concerned I may still run into the below issue in that scenario as well since the mirror would also be updating data I
am querying.
I have a view that joins across several tables from two databases and is used by an invoicing program on existing data. Three of these tables are also actively updated by ongoing transactions. Running a report that used this view did not use to be a problem
but now our database is getting larger and we have run into some timeout problems for the live transactions coming in.
First the report query was timing out so I set command timeout to 0 and reran the query which pegged all 4 CPUs 100% for 90 minutes and so I finally killed it. Strangely there were no problems with active transactions during that time so I'm wondering if the
query was really running doing anything useful or somehow spinning and waiting. I reviewed the view and found a field I was joining on that was not indexed so created an index on that field, reran the report, which then finished in three minutes and all the
CPUs were busy but not at all pegged out. Same data queried both times. I figured problem solved. Of course later, my boss ran a similar invoice report, with the same amount of data, and our live transactions started timing out 100% while his query was running.
I did not get a chance to see the CPU usage during that time.
I looked at the execution plan of the underlying view and added the suggested index but that did not help. When I run the just the view at SQL Server it does not seem to cause any problems and finished in a couple seconds. Perhaps something else going on in
the reporting tool using the view.
My main question is - Given I have to use the live and active database, what is the proper way to run a long R/O query/report so that active transactions can still continue to update
tables that I am querying? sp_who2 did show transactions being blocked so I guess a long query accessing the tables blocks live transactions accessing those same tables, but certainly I'm not the only one doing this. I
am considering adding "with (nolock)" but am hoping there is a better standard practice as that clause can return dirty data and I understand why. Thx, Dave
Thanks, Dave
Dave

Hello
You can change the DB isolation level to Read uncommitted
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378149(v=sql.110).aspx
or use WITH (NOLOCK)
I do use NOLOCK option for the dirty reads to avoid locks on the tables
