Quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation.

Hi all,
I have a quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation for FT, NFS, ISCSI, VM traffic etc. I get that its best practice to try and separate traffic where you can and especially for things like FT however I just wondered if there was a preferred method to achieving this. What I mean is ...
- Is it OK to have everything on one switch but set each respective portgroup to having a primary and failover NIC i.e FT, ISCSI and all the others failover (this would sort of give you a backup in situations where you have limited physical NICs.
- Or should I always aim to separate things entirely with their own respective NICs and their own respective switches?
During the VCAP exam for example (not knowing in advance how many physical NIC's will be available to me) how would I know which stuff I should segregate on its own separate switch? Is there some sort of ranking order of priority /importance? FT for example I would rather not stick on its own dedicated switch if I could only afford to give it a single NICs since this to me seems like a failover risk.

I know the answer to this probably depends on however many physical NICs you have at your disposal however I wondered if there are any golden 100% rules for example FT must absolutely be on its own switch with its own NICs even at the expence of reduced resiliency should the absolute worst happen? Obviously I know its also best practice to seperate NICs by vender and hosts by chassis and switch etc

New to ColdFusion - Question regarding best practice

Hello there.
I have been programming in Java/C#/PHP for the past two years or so, and as of late have really taken a liking to ColdFusion.
The question that I have is around the actual seperation of code and if there are any best practices that are preached using this language. While I was learning Java, I was taught that it's best to have several layers in your code; example: Front end (JSPs or ASP) -> Business Objects -> Daos -> Database. All of the code that I have written using these three languages have followed this simple structure, for the most part.
As I dive deeper into ColdFusion, most of the examples that I have seen from vetrans of this language don't really incorporate much seperation. And I'm not referring to the simple "here's what this function does" type of examples online where most of the code is written in one file. I've been able to see projects that have been created with this language.
I work with a couple developers who have been writing in ColdFusion for a few years and posed this question to them as well. Their response was something to the affect of, "I'm not sure if there are any best practices for this, but it doesn't really seem like there's much of an issue making calls like this".
I have searched online for any type of best practices or discussions around this and haven't seen much of anything.
I do still consider myself somewhat of a noobling when it comes to programming, but matters of best practice are important to me for any language that I learn more about.
Thanks for the help.

Frameworks for Web Applications can require alot of overhead, more than you might normally need programming ColdFusion, I have worked with Frameworks, including Fusebox, what I discovered is when handing a project over to a different developer, it took them over a month before they were able to fully understand the Fusebox framework and then program it comfortably. I decided to not use Fusebox on other projects for this reason.
For maintainability sometimes its better to not use a framework, while there are a number of ColdFusion developers, those that know the Fusebox framework are in the minority. When using a framework, you always have to consider the amount of time to learn it and succesfuly implement it. Alot of it depends on how much of your code you want to reuse. One thing you have to consider, is if you need to make a change to the web application, how many files will you have to modify? Sometimes its more files with a framework than if you just write code without a framework.
While working on a website for Electronic Component sourcing, I encountered this dynamic several times.

Question regarding best practice

Hello Experts,
What is the best way to deploy NWGW?
We recently architected a solution to install the 7.4 ABAP stack which comes with Gateway. We chose the Central Gateway HUB scenario in a 3 -tier setup. Is this all that's required in order to connect this hub gateway to the business systems ie ECC? Or do we have to also install the gateway add-on on our business system in order to expose the development objects to the HUB? I'm very interested in understanding how others are doing this and what has been the best way according to your own experiences. I thought creating a trusted connection between the gateway hub and the business system would suffice to expose the development objects from the business system to the hub in order to create the gateway services in the hub out of them? Is this a correct assumption? Happy to receive any feedback, suggestion and thoughts.
Kind regards,
Kunal.

Hi Kunal,
My understanding is that in the HUB scenario you still need to install an addon in to the backend system (IW_BEP). If your backend system is already a 7.40 system then I believe that addon (or equivalent) should already be there.
I highly recommend you take a look at SAP Gateway deployment options in a nutshell by Andre Fischer

What is the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure of placing "FSMO Roles on Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and Additional Domain Controller (ADC)"??

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and have
2 Domain Controllers in my Company:
Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
Additional Domain Controller (ADC)
My (PDC) was down due to Hardware failure, but somehow I got a chance to get it up and transferred
(5) FSMO Roles from (PDC) to (ADC).
Now my (PDC) is rectified and UP with same configurations and settings. (I did not install new OS or Domain Controller in existing PDC Server).
Finally I want it to move back the (FSMO Roles) from
(ADC) to (PDC) to get UP and operational my (PDC) as Primary.
(Before Disaster my PDC had 5 FSMO Roles).
Here I want to know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
In case if Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
Example like (FSMO Roles Distribution between both Servers) should be……. ???
Primary Domain Controller (PDC) Should contains:????
Schema Master
Domain Naming Master
Additional Domain Controller (ADC) Should contains:????
RID
PDC Emulator
Infrastructure Master
Please let me know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles.
I will be waiting for your valuable comments.
Regards,
Muhammad Daud

Here I want to know the best practice
and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
There is a good article I would like to share with you:http://oreilly.com/pub/a/windows/2004/06/15/fsmo.html
For me, I do not really see a need to have FSMO roles on multiple servers in your case. I would recommend making it simple and have a single DC holding all the FSMO roles.
In case if
Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
No. This is not true. Each FSMO role is unique and if a DC fails, FSMO roles will not be automatically transferred.
There is two approaches that can be followed when an FSMO roles holder is down:
If the DC can be recovered quickly then I would recommend taking no action
If the DC will be down for a long time or cannot be recovered then I would recommend that you size FSMO roles and do a metadata cleanup
Attention! For (2) the old FSMO holder should never be up and online again if the FSMO roles were sized. Otherwise, your AD may be facing huge impacts and side effects.

Best Practices and Usage of Streamwork?

Hi All -
Is this Forum a good place to inquire about best practices and use of Streamwork? I am not a developer working with the APIs, but rather have setup a Streamwork Activity for my team to collaborate on our activities.
We are thinking about creating a sort of FAQ on our team activity and I was thinking of using either a table or a collection for this. I want it to be easy for team members to enter the question and the answer (our team gets a lot of questions from many groups and over time I would like to build up a sort of knowledge base).
Does anyone have any suggestions for such a concept in StreamWork? Has anyone done something like this and can share experiences?
Please let me know if I should post this question in another place.
Thanks and regards,
Rob Stevenson

Activities have a limit of 200 items that can be included. If this is the venue you wish to use, it might be better to use a table rather than individual notes/discussions.

Infomation regarding Best Practices Required,

Dear Friends,
Happy New Year......
Im working as a part BI Excellence team in a reputed company.
I jst want to say a client to install the BI Best Practice(Scenario - SCM), inorder to do that i need to present him the advantages and difference between Best practice (SPECIFIC FOR BI) over General Implementation.
When i search in Help.sap.com, it generally speaks about the time consumption n guidelines of Overall SAP Best Practices.
Can anyone help me wrt to BI (From Blue Print to Go Live), Time line diferrences between SAP BI Best Practice and General Implementation.
An Example with Specific Scenario Like SCM, Taking a Cube for IM and describing the Start to End Implemenation process and its timeline. How the same differs, when we go by using a SAP BI Best Practice installation?
Please provide your Valuable suggesstions, as i dont hav any Implementation experience.
Requesting your Valuable Guidence.

Coherence Best Practices and Performance

I'm starting to use coherence and I'd to know if someone could point me out some doc on Best Practices and Performance optimizations when using it.
BTW, I haven't had the time to go through the entire Oracle documentation.
Regards

Hi
If you are new to Coherence (or even for people who are not that new) one of the best things you can do is read this book http://www.packtpub.com/oracle-coherence-35/book I know it says Coherence 3.5 and we are currently on 3.7 but it is still very relevant.
You don't need to go through all the documentation but at least try the introductions and try out some of the examples. You need to know the basics otherwise it makes it harder for people to either understand what you want or give you detailed enough answers to questions.
For performance optimizations it depends a lot on your use cases and what you are doing; there are a number of things you can do with Coherence to help performance but as with anything there are trade-offs. Coherence on the server-side is a Java process and often when tuning, sorting out issues and performance I spend a lot of time with the usual tools for Java such as VisualVM (or JConsole), tuning GC, looking at thread dumps and stack traces.
Finally, there are plenty of people on these forums happy to answer your questions in return for a few forum points, so just ask.

Architecture/Design Question with best practices ?

Architecture/Design Question with best practices ?
Should I have separate webserver, weblogic for application and for IAM ?
If yes than how this both will communicate, for example should I have webgate at both the server which will communicate each other?
Any reference which help in deciding how to design and if I have separate weblogic one for application and one for IAM than how session management will occur etc
How is general design happens in IAM Project ?
Help Appreciated.

The standard answer: it depends!
From a technical point of view, it sounds better to use the same "midleware infrastructure", BUT then the challenge is to find the lastest weblogic version that is certified by both the IAM applications and the enterprise applications. This will pull down the version of weblogic, since the IAM application stack is certified with older version of weblogic.
From a security point of view (access, availability): do you have the same security policy for the enterprise applications and the IAM applications (component of your security architecture)?
From a organisation point of view: who is the owner of weblogic, enterprise applications and IAM applications. In one of my customer, application and infrastructure/security are in to different departments. Having a common weblogic domain didn't feet in the organization.
My short answer would be: keep it separated, this will save you a lot of technical and political challenges.
Didier.

Question regarding the "mcxquery" and "dscl -mcxread" commands:

Question regarding the mcxquery and dscl -mcxread commands:
Does anyone know why the mcxquery and the dscl . -mcxread commands don't show any info about MCX managed login items & printers? The System Profiler's "Managed Client" section does. Id like to see info regarding managed printers and managed login items using the mcx tools. I have Mac users running 10.5.2 with both login items and printers that are pushed out to them via MCX. The System Profiler app shows all of their policies, but the dscl . -mcxread and mcxquery tools dont. Why not?

How do you "call procedures/functions" without sql code? You need at least the call statement like
{call myProc(?,?,?)}that you wrap into a CallableStatement.
Other than that: when you switch off autocommit, you need to call commit/rollback at the end. Usually, if you don't commit/rollback a non-autocommitted connection, the transaction get's committed/rollbacked when you close the connection - that depends on the JDBC driver. But it's never a good idea to ommit the commit/rollback calls on a non-autocommit connection. Usually you enclose your code in a try/catch block like this:
con.setAutocommit(false);
try {
   con.commit();
} catch (Exception e) {
   con.rollback();
} finally {
    con.setAutocommit(true); //or:
    con.close();
}

Few questions regarding Oracle Scorecard and strategy management.

Hi,
I have following questions regarding Oracle Scorecard and strategy management:
1. What are the ways in which i can show status of a KPI, like we have colors and symbols, what are others?
2. can we keep log of KPIs, store them, keep report of feedback/action taken on that?
3. Does Scorecard and strategy management have ability to retain history on feedback and log of
entries i.e. date/time, user name?
4. Does Scorecard and strategy management have ability to use common mathematical formulas e.g. median, average, percentiles. Describe.?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I got a question regarding running iOs and Windows using virtual software.

Greetings!
I got a question regarding running iOs and Windows using virtual software. I recently bought a monitor so I can display Windows on it and run both OS at the same time.Now,I'm using BootCamp. I downloaded VirtualBox for "tranferring" Windows on it. Since I'm a new iOs user , what do I need to do in order to make work?
Do I need to un-install Windows from BootCamp,install VirtualBox and then install them again?
Any information would be appreciate it!

That should work to use OS X, you can run MS Windows using Virtual Box and use a seperate display for the Virtual Box window. That way you can run OS X and MS Windows simultaneously. However remember Virtual Box is freeware and not a commercial application like Parallels or VMWare Fusion and may not have the features of a commercial application. Support for Windows run in any virtualization application (Virtual Box, Parallels or Fusion) is not generally done on this forum as they are not OS X related. To get help on those apps you usually will need to go to their forums.
Remember IOS will not run on either OS X or MS Windows, it only works on IOS devices.
Good luck with your installation.

[XI 3.1] BEST PRACTICE method of Oracle connection for RPTs on Linux

Business Objects XI (3.1) - SP3.
Running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS.
7,000+ Crystal Reports 2008 *.rpt objects ONLY (No Universe / No WebI).
All reports connecting to Oracle 10g databases.
==================
In the past, all of this infrastructure was running on Windows Server OS and providing the database access via a Named ODBC connection (eg. "APP_DATA".)
This made it easy to manage as all the Report Developers had a standard System DSN called "APP_DATA" which was the same as the System DSN name on all of our DEV, TEST/UAT, and PROD servers for Business Objects.
When we wanted to move/promote a *.rpt file from DEV to PROD we did not have to change any "Database Connection" info as it was all taken care of by pointing the System DSN called "APP_DATA" a a different physical Oracle server at the ODBC level.
Now, that hardware is moving from Windows OS to Red Hat Linux and we are trying to determine the Best Practices (and Pros/Cons) of using one of the three methods below to access the Oracle database for our *.rpts....
1.) Oracle Native connection
2.) ODBC connection
3.) JDBC connection
Here's what we have determined so far -
1a.) Oracle Native connection should be the most efficient method of passing SQL-query to the DB with the fewest issues and best speed [PRO]
1b.) Oracle Native connection may not be supported on Linux - http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=118770&view=previous&sid=9cca754b468fc67888ab2553c0fbe448 [CON]
1c.) Using Oracle Native would require special-handling on the *.rpts at either the source-file or the CMC level to change them from DEV -> TEST -> PROD connection. This would result in a lot more Developer / Admin overhead than they are currently used to. [CON]
2a.) A 3rd-Party Linux ODBC option may be available from EasySoft - http://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/odbc_oracle_driver/index.html - which would allow us to use a similar Developer / Admin overhead to what we are used to. [PRO]
2b.) Adding a 3rd-Party Vendor into the mix may lead to support issues is we have problems with results or speeds of our queries. [CON]
3a.) JDBC appears to be the "defacto standard" when running Oracle SQL queries from Linux. [PRO]
3b.) There may be issues with results or speeds of our queries when using JDBC. [CON]
3c.) Using JDBC requires the explicit-IP of the Oracle server to be defined for each connection. This would require special-handling on the *.rpts at either the source-file (and NOT the CMC level) to change them from DEV -> TEST -> PROD connection. This would result in a lot more Developer / Admin overhead than they are currently used to. [CON]
==================
We would appreciate some advice from anyone who has been down this road before.
What were your Best Practices?
What can you add to the Pros and Cons listed above?
How do we find the "sweet spot" between quality/performance/speed of reports and easy-overhead for the Admins and Developers?
As always, thanks in advance for your comments.

Hi,
I just saw this article and I would like to add some infos.
First you can quite easely reproduce the same way of working with the odbc entries by playing with the oracle name resolution on the server. By changing some files (sqlnet, tnsnames.ora,..) you can define a different oracle server for a specific name that will be the same accross all environments.
Database name will be resolved differently regarding to the environment and therefore will access a different database.
Second option is the possibility to change the connection in .rpt files by an automated way like the schedule manager. This tool is a additional web application to deploy that can change the connection settings of rpt reports on thousands of reports in a few clicks. you can find it here :
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80af7965-8bdf-2b10-fa94-bb21833f3db8
The last option is to do it with a small sdk script, for this purpose, a few lines of codes can change all the reports in a row.
After some implementations on linux to oracle database I would prefer also the native connection. ODBC and JDBC are deprecated ways to connect to database. You can use DATADIRECT connectors that are quite good but for volumes you will see the difference.
