ADF Faces & BC: Best pratices for project layout
Season greetings my fellow JDevelopers!
Our software group has been working with ADF for around 5 years and through the years we have accumulated a good amount of knowledge working with JDeveloper and ADF. Much of our current application structure has been resurrected in the early days of JDeveloper 10 where there were more samples codes floating around then there were "best pratice" documentation. I understand this is a subjective topic and varies site to site, but I believe there is a set of common practices our group has started to identify as critical to streamlining a development process(reusable decorated ui components, modular common biz logic, team development with svn, continuous integration/build, etc..). One of our development goals is to minimize dependency between each engineer as everyone is responsible for both client and middle layer implementation without losing coding consistency. After speaking with a couple of the aces at the last openworld, I understand much of our anticipated architectural requirements are met with JDeveloper 11(with the introduction of templates, declarative components, bounded task flows, etc..) but due to time constraints on upcoming deliverables we are still about an year away before moving on with that new release. The following is a little bit about our group/application.
JDeveloper version: 10.1.3.4
Number of developers: 7
Developer responsibilties: Build both faces & bc code
We have two applications currently in our production environments.
1.A flavor of Steve Muench's dynamic jdbc credentials login module
2.Core ADF Faces & BC application
In our Core ADF Faces application, we have the following structure:
OurApplication
-OurApplicationLib (Common framework files)
-OurApplicationModel (BC project)
-src/org/ourapp/module1
-src/org/ourapp/module2
-OurApplicationView (Faces project)
public_html/ourapp/module1
public_html/ourapp/module2
src/org/ourapp/backing/module1
src/org/ourapp/backing/module2
src/org/ourapp/pageDefs/
Total Number of Application Modules: 15 (Including one RootApplicationModule which references module specific AMs)
Total Number View Objects: 171
Total Number of Entities: 58
Total Number of BC Files: 1734
Total Number of JSPs: 246
Total Number of pageDefs: 236
Total Number of navigation cases in faces-config.xml: 127
Total Number of application files: 4183
Total application size: 180megs
Are there any other ways to divide up this application? Ie: module specific projects with seperate faces-config files/databindings? If so, how can these files be "hooked" together? A couple of the aces has recommended that we should separate all the entity files into its own project which make sense. Also, we are looking into the maven builds which should remove those pesky model.jpr files that constantly gets “touched”. I would to love hear how other groups are organizing their application and anything else they would like to share as an ADF best pratice.
Cheers,
Wes
After discussions over the summer/autumn by members of the ADF Methodology Group I have published an ADF Coding Standards wiki page that people may find useful:
[http://wiki.oracle.com/page/ADF+Coding+Standards]
It's aimed at ADF 11g and is intended to be a living document - if you have comments or suggestions please post them to the ADF Methodology google group ( [http://groups.google.com/group/adf-methodology?hl=en] ).

Best pratices for the customizing about the performance
Hello,
I would like to know the list of the best pratices for the customizing BPC NW 7.5 about the performance.
Best regards
BastienHi,
There are few how to guides on SDN which will give you a basic idea on script logic. Apart from this, you can refer to the help guide on help. sap.com.
The templates might also effect the performance. The number of EVDRE functions, the number of expansion dimensions, the number of members on which expansion takes place will effect the performance. A complex formatting in the template will also effect.
Hope this helps. -
Hi all,
I am not able to download best pratices for GATP by SAP from http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv250/BBLibrary/HTML/ATP_EN_DE.htm. Seems the documents are removed. Can some one who already downloaded share the same with me?
Also can you provide working links for best pratices for SNP and PP/DS?
Thankyou,

Adf faces skin-family change for page or component
I know how to change this by editing adf-faces-config.xml tile. Is it possible to change the skin-family at a page level or for even for an individual component?
You can change the skin at the page level by setting the value of the skin-family property to an expression language:
<adf-faces-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config">
<skin-family>#{skinFamily.skinSelection}</skin-family>
</adf-faces-config>
Where skinFamily is a managed bean and skinSelecion can be implemented as follows:
public String getSkinSelection()
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
UIViewRoot viewRoot = context.getViewRoot();
String viewId = viewRoot.getViewId();
System.out.println(viewId);
if ( viewId.startsWith("/blaf/") ) {
skinSelection = "oracle";
else if ( viewId.startsWith("/minimal/") ) {
skinSelection = "minimal";
else if ( viewId.startsWith("/vantive/") ) {
skinSelection = "vantive";
return skinSelection;
If you want to have two components, let's say, two tables, at the same page but with a different style you can accomplish that by using the inline-style tag.

Best pratices for ODI interfaces
I was wondering how everyone is handling the errors that occur when running an interface with ODI.
Our secinaro:
We have customer data that we want to load each night via ODI. The data is in a flat file and a new file is provided each night.
We have come across an issue where a numeric field had data that was non numeric in it ... so ODI created a bad file ... with the bad record in it .... and an error file with the error message. We then had some defined constraints that forced records into the E$ table.
My question is how does everyone handle looking for these errors. We would like them to just bereported to one place ( an oracle table ) so when the process runs we can just look at the one table and then act on the issues.... as shown above ODI puts errors in two different places... DB ones in a flat file and user defined in the E$ tables.....
I was wondering if anyone has come across this issue and might be able to tell me what was done to handle the errors that occurr .. or what the best pratices might be for handling these errors?
Thanks for any assistance.
Edited by: 832187 on Sep 29, 2011 1:18 PMIf you have got few fields affected by conversion problem you could try insert an ODI constraint or you could modify LKM to load bad file if present.

Just getting started and testing. I am using a FW external drive for my media (the Scratch drive assigned via System Prefs). All is going well (so far).
Is there a best location for the Project.fcp file? I think that I read that it best reside on my startup drive.
But, I also read (I think) that the media files and project files should be kept in the same folder (I don't understand why). I would suspect that the Project.fcp file can be anywhere, just like any other document file. Correct?
Thanks,
SonnyI asked the same question over three years ago!
Here was Tom's reply to me that has an added bit of info that might be useful:-
"+Putting the project file on the system drive is generally considered good practice. I'm not sure how much actual performance improvement you'll see, but the media might be less likely to have dropped frames. It also means, if your autosave vault is on the media drive, that you have project file backups on a second hardware device in case one fails."+ -
ADF Faces and multiframe window for master/detail view
Hi,
I have a web page divide into 2 frames : frame1, the master view and frame2 the detail view.
When I load the whole web page, the master frame print all the paginated list. Each row has a "show more" button. When I click one, the corresponding detail view is displayed in the detail view (frame2). And, when I clicked again the "show more" button, the paginated list (present in the master view) is displayed in the detail view !!! WHY ??
When I click a third time on the "show more" button, the detail view display the corresponding detail information (work well like first click)....and alternatively clicking on the "show more" button, this problems occurs.
Where does this problem come from ?
The ADF Faces code shown in the master view (targetFrame attribute means to display on the detail view when show more button is clicked).

Hello - First time doing a keynote presentation of paintings for my husband's work. I started with scanning his transparencies at 1200 DPI. I wanted them to look their best (detail) when being projected. Now I am thinking this might be over doing it but, I don't know. Can anyone give me some advice on this?
Thanks.While it is important to scan at a high DPI setting for printing quality purposes, it is not what you need to concern yourself with for projection purposes. It is most important for you to determine what the pixel resolution capabilities are for your projection system and create your presentation size (and saved image sizes) accordingly.
Unless you are digitally archiving these paintings you can probably save yourself some image resizing work down the line and scan at a lower DPI setting. However if you are scanning these for archival purposes you can save copies of the images at a lower resolution for presentation purposes. I'll put some general guidelines on this below.
If you are not using your own projection system, or if you will be presenting in many different venues where the projector systems will vary, then chances are it will be safest for you to use the standard size of 1024x768 when creating your Keynote presentation. (I'll use that size as the example for this response).
Then it really depends on how you will be displaying the images within the presentation when you select what image size (width/height in pixels) to save the individual images at. I'm guessing that the paintings don't all fit neatly into a 4:3 aspect ratio frame. But unless you will be zooming into the details of the images, chances are you won't need to save the images at any higher than either 1024 pixels in width or 768 in height, especially if you will be scaling down the images so that the entire painting fits within the 1024x768 presentation window.
BUT, if you will be zooming into details of the pictures, or if you will be masking/cropping out portions of the pictures and then scaling the masked/cropped picture up to fill the presentation window more completely, then it is a good idea to save the images at a higher resolution. How much higher depends on how much you will be scaling the portion of the image up -- you may want to save at twice or three times the presentation window size just to be safe, or even more if you are zooming way into certain details.
Keep in mind, the higher the resolution of the image, the larger the actual file size in MB, so a presentation can become quite large if your images are much larger than they need to be. Large images can also cause problems when animating certain effects. So it can be a trade off depending on how much disk space you have available, or how smoothly you need certain animation effects to happen during the presentation, etc.
If you don't have access to image processing software (such as Photoshop) you can use the Mac Preview tool to resize your scanned images. Simply open the image in Preview, go to the Tools menu and select "Adjust Size". Change the width/height unit display (pull down menu to the right of these settings) to Pixels and make sure "Scale proportionally" and "Resample image" are both selected. Then change either the width or the height value as needed, but do not worry about the pixels/inch Resolution setting (again, this is only important for printing, not display/projection) and save the image. -
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.
MarcI 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".

I have a Mac Pro and one very full drive, so I've purchased an external drive to back-up all of my files and a new internal drive as well. It may be important to note that the FCP projects I create aren't true video projects. It's pretty simple -- I use FCP to bring together recorded audio with still images, and add some motion in to create "movies". Each of my movies (around 30 so far), and their specific associated files (audio and project-specific images) reside in their own file folders. My trouble comes in that I also have a huge folder of purchased stock images which resides in a separate file folder. Each of my individual movies connect to several of these stock images that exists outside of the movie's folder.
I'm stuck on what I should do. The purchased stock image folder is common to all of the movies. Over time it will continue to grow. What I think I need to do is move this folder off of my main working drive and onto another drive that can handle the load. I would like to move my completed movie projects either to a self-contained disk for future reference and edits if necessary. I have no idea how to proceed, but I need to, and quickly. Can anyone offer a best practice on how to set this up and and tips/tricks to avoid potential pitfalls in doing this?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!Because I edit in a few locations with several external drives I try not to use "common folders" anymore. Just gets too difficult if I have footage spread over multiple drives.
I normally create a project and save it to a "projects" folder on the system drive.
I capture to the root of an external drive.... I do not create any folders for this, FCP will create the project specific folders for scratch and renders.
I then create a project specific "elements" folder on my external "project elements" drive. Any graphics or titles or stills or music that I create or use on the project gets placed here. So if I had, as you do, "a huge folder of purchased stock images" I would copy the pics I need for the specific project to it's elements folder before importing them into FCP. In my case it's usually old footage that is common to various projects. This does, of course require more drive space, but anything that helps keep my disorganized brain more organized is worth it to me.
When I want to archive projects I just copy the project file and it's "elements" folder to my archive drive. I delete the capture scratch and render folders for that project as they can be recaptured and re-rendered if the need arises.

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. -
Hello All,
Making an iMovie for a school presentation from stills, so the format option should be pretty open correct? It will be projected by a computer video projector, what format will give the best resolution?
Would I be better off showing it out of iMovie, make a QT movie or burn an IDVD?
Thanks in advance.
GaryHello Gary,
first off, I'm no photo/stills expert, but there have been a number of threads regarding image quality in slideshows that were either exported from iPhoto, or created in iMovie/iDVD. Here's two of them (there's plenty more ... try a serch):
The SOLUTION to bad iDVD Photo Quality
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4083684�
Photo quality--why so bad?
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3276994�
Bottom line is that if you try to put a fairly big hi-res image into a rather small DV-frame (only 720x480) something is bound to happen. In addition to that, digital stills are composed of pixels, whereas video (as displayed on TV) works with fields of interlaced lines - two things that are not very compatible.
IMHO, a good option could be to create your slideshow in iPhoto and play it straight from the mac to the projector (no export). But I'd strongly recommend trying it out before the actual presentation.
There's a third party tool that is reputed to build very good and crisp slideshows:

Best pratices for RMAN backup management for many databases
Dear all,
We have many 10g databases (>40) hosted on multiple Windows servers which are backup up using RMAN.
A year ago, all backup's were implemented through Windows Scheduled Tasks using some batch files.
We have been busy (re)implementing / migrating such backup in Grid Control.
I personally prefer to maintain the backup management in Grid Control, but a colleague wants now to go back to the batch files.
What i am looking for here, are advices in the management of RMAN backup for multiple databases: do you guys use Grid Control or any third-party backup management tool or even got your home-made solution?
One of the discussion topic is the work involved in case that the central backup location changes.
Well... any real-life advices on best practices / strategies for RMAN backup management for many databases will be appreciated!
Thanks,

Thanks for your reaction.
So, i understand that Grid Control is for you not used to manage the backups, and as a consequence, you also have no 'direct' overview of the job schedules.
One of my concern is also to avoid that too many backups are started at the same time to avoid network / storage overload. Such overview is availble in Grid Control's Jobs screen.
And, based on your strategy, do you recreate a 'one-time' Oracle scheduled job for every backup, or do your scripts create an Oracle job with multiple schedule?
You're very welcome!
Well, Grid Control is not an option for us, since each customer is in a separate infrastructure, and with their own licensing. I have no real way (in difference to your situation) to have a centralized point of control, but that on the other hand mean that I don't have to consider network/storage congestion, like you have to.
The script is run from a "permanent" job within the dba-scheduler, created like this:
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name => 'BACKUP',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/home/oracle/scripts/rman_backup.sh',
start_date => trunc(sysdate)+1+7/48,
repeat_interval => 'trunc(sysdate)+1+7/48',
enabled => true,
auto_drop => false,
comments => 'execute backup script at 03:30');and then the "master-script", determines which level to use, based on weekday from the OS. The actual job schedule (start date, run interval etc) is set together with the customer IT/IS dept, to avoid congestion on the backup resources.
I have no overview of the backup status, run times etc, but have made monitoring scripts that will alert me if/when a backup either fails, or runs for too long. This, in addition with scheduled disaster/recovery tests makes me sleep rather well at night.. ;-)
I realize that there (might be) better ways of doing backup scheduling in your environment, since my requirements are so completely different than yours, but I guess that we all face the same challenges in unifying the environments as much as possible, to minimize the amount of actual work we have to do. :-)
Good luck!

Best settings for project with multiple format sources
New to Premiere Pro after leaving FCP behind and I feel like I've got enough under my belt to start a new project. Working in PP CS6.
Question: my source footage is going to be in many different formats from ripped flash video to footage shot on a C300; includes stills, QT files, etc. (My work involves a lot of found footage, image recycling, etc.)
I want to finish most likely at 1920x1080; exhibition will be festivals, but also DVD, streaming, etc. And I want to work in 24p.
What would be the best settings to use for this project? What codec? Etc?
In FCP I would have used Prores 422, but wonder if something native to PP would be better.
Thank you.Assuming the C300 footage will be 1080p/24, I'd probably work in that sequence myself. Or possibly 720p/24 if the other assets were smaller than 1080.
