Any suggestions for best practice when creating assets for tablets?

General community question,
I'm about to start creating a tablet demo of a few assets that have already been created for web that need adapting for tablet (namely iOS on iPad). I was wondering if anyone could share some pointers about what to avoid doing or some top tips to ensure that they can be converted as quickly and easily as possible, particularly given the state of the current version of EA.
Any suggestions or links to relevant websites would be welcome!
Cheers,

Looking for best practices when creating DNS reverse zones for DHCP

Hello,
We are migrating from ISC DHCP to Microsoft DHCP. We would like the DHCP server to automatically update DNS A and PTR records for computers when they get an IP. The question is, what is the best practice for creating the reverse look up zones in DNS? Here
is an example:
10.0.1.0/23
This would give out IPs from 10.0.1.1-10.0.2.254. So with this in mind, do we then create the following reverse DNS zones?:
1.0.10.in-addr.arpa AND 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa
OR do we only create:
0.10.in-addr.arpa And both 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 addresses will get stuffed into those zones.
Or is there an even better way that I haven't thought about? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Base on your description, creating two reverse DNS zones 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa and 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa, or creating one reverse DNS zone 0.10.in-addr.arpa, both methods are all right.

Tina

Transfer file clean up: What is best practice when creating files with timestamps?

Created an SSIS package to create files that will be sent which are created with a time stamp. What is the best procedure of clean up for the files? I'd like to keep at least a day of files for verification purposes.

Run http://filepropertiestask.codeplex.com task to get the file creation date and if older delete it or a Script Task that uses the .Net FileInfo
CreratedDate method to find it Then you can use
Precedence Constraints to either skip the file deletion or not.

Migration Best Practice When Using an Auth Source

Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on migration best practices or more specifically, how to choose whether to import/export groups and users or to let the auth source do a sync to bring users and groups into each environment.
One of our customers is using an LDAP auth source to synchronize users and groups. I'm trying to help them do a migration from a development environment to a test environment. I'd like to export/import security on each object as I migrate it, but does this mean I have to export/import the groups on each object's ACLs before I export/import each object? What about users? I'd like to leave users and groups out of the PTE files and just export/import the auth source and let it run in each environment. But I'm afraid the UUIDs for the newly created groups will be different and they won't match up with object ACLs any more, causing all the objects to lose their security settings.
If anyone has done this before, any suggestions about best practices and gotchas when using the migration wizard in conjunction with an auth source would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

The best practice here would be to migrate only the auth source through the migration wizard, and then do an LDAP sync on the new system to pull in the users and groups. The migration wizard will then just "do the right thing" in matching up the users and groups on the ACLs of objects between the two systems.
Users and groups are actually a special case during migration -- they are resolved first by UUID, but if that is not found, then a user with the same auth source UUID and unique auth name is also treated as a match. Since you are importing from the same LDAP auth source, the unique auth name for the user/group should be the same on both systems. The auth source's UUID will also match on the two systems, since you just migrated that over using the migration wizard.

Best practices when carry forward for audit adjustments

Dear experts,
I would like to know if someone can share his best practices when performing carry forward for audit adjustments.
We are actually doing legal consolidation for one customer and we are facing one issue.
The accounting team needs to pass audit adjustments around April-May for last year.
So from January to April / May, the opening balance must be based on December closing of prior year.
Then from May / June to December, the opening balance must be based on Audit closing of prior year.
We originally planned to create two members for December period, XXXX.DEC and XXXX.AUD
Once the accountants would know their audit closing balance, they would have to input it on the XXXX.AUD period and a business rule could compute the difference between the closing of AUD and DEC periods and store the result on an opening flow.
The opening flow hierarchy would be as follow:
F_OPETOT (Opening balance Total)
F_OPE (Opening balance from December)
F_OPEAUD (Opening balance from the difference between closing balance of Audit and December periods)
Now, assume that we are in October, but for any reason, the accountant run a carry forward for February, he is going to impact the opening balance because at this time (October), we have the audit adjustments.
How to avoid such a thing? What are the best practices in this case?
I guess it is something that you may have encounter if you did a consolidation project.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Cookman and I have been arguing about this since the paleozoic era. Here's my logic for capturing everything.
Less wear and tear on the tape and the deck.
You've got everything on the system. Can't tell you how many times a client has said "I know that there was a better take." The only way to disabuse them of this notion is to look at every take. if it's not on the system, you've got to spend more time finding the tape, and adding "wear and tear on the tape and the deck." And then there's the moment where you need to replace the audio for one word from another take. You can quickly check all the other takes (particularly if you've done a thorough job logging the material - see below)_.
Once it's on the system, you still need to log and learn the material. You can scan thru material much faster once it's captured. Jumping around the material is much easier.
There's no question that logging the material before you capture makes you learn the material in a more thorough way, but with enough selfdiscipline, you can learn the material as thoroughly once it's been captured.

Suggest the Best Practice for Procurement of Commodities like crude, copper

Dear Gurus,
Please suggest the best practice for following business Process.
My client is having the procurement need for a comodity whose prices are fluctuating. Say Crude Oil . The prices are changing every day. Now The client would like to pay to vendor on day of good receipt. But it may be possible that the price on GR day is much higher. How to control these kind of procurement. Presently I have activated the price variance through invoice posting but this is not working.
Can you suggest best practice for procurement of comodities.
Thank you for your consistant support.
Regards
Vinod Kakade
Edited by: vinodkakade on Jul 14, 2011 2:34 PM

Hi Vinod,
Would you know the price by the time the GR is to happen, in this case you can ask the vendor to send the confirmations, just prior to that with the correct price.
Please refer this link

though the thread is marked unanswered.

I downloaded two movies from itunes at the same time (both free digital copies from a dvd) and when they finished downloading... they disappeared. I've not been able to re-download them or find them.. anywhere. Any suggestions for tracking them down?

If you downloaded them on your computer's iTunes then they should have gone into the Movies part of your iTunes library, if on a device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then into the Videos app - they haven't appeared there ?
If you downloaded on your PC and they don't show in the Movies section then you could try searching for them by name (or part of their name) via windows explorer and see if that finds them. Or if you downloaded them on a device and they aren't in the Videos app then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them, and if not can you find them via the device's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?

In the text file the ~ ... | creates a radio button group and a #....| creates a checkbox group which all works fine. The problem I am having is with the more complicated options/addons such as having a choice between 0-n number of object 1 and/or object 2, having 0-4 powers out of a 7 checkbox power group, or having 0-n special units added to the squad that all are the same but all can have different powers/addons. I suspect you need to write a data model for the information you want to capture. Seems like you've made a pretty good start with your various types and capabilities, now you just need to extend that to your more esoteric stuff.
I'd also try to think about it a bit more generally, rather than applying it to a specific Swing component. For example:
A Radio button is a "one of many" choice (ie, a "Selector"), whereas a Checkbox is a "0 or many of many" (possibly with limits). If you think about it this way, you leave the decision of how to represent them until later on, which is usually good practise.
If you create a good model, you'll also be better prepared if you later decide to store these things in a database.

Best practices when making service requests

Best practices when making service requests
We've been working on moving our old services that were built with an different service request tool into RequestCenter and were wondering if anyone had any thoughts about best standards or practices for the new forms that they would be willing to share. For example, one such standard might be that the customer - initiator information will always be displayed at the top of the request.
Are there any other standardizations you could share that help lend consistency and provide improved readability for request forms? Maybe someone has a design framework guide they would be willing to share?
Thanks!
Tim

Thanks for the comments and the book suggestion.
We've been placing the customer information at the top because wanted the customer to review the information before subbmitng the form. Our LDAP data is somewhat spotty and we want to make sure we have the right information when the form is submitted but I can see the advantages to placing it at the bottom as well. I'll have to think that over more.
Does anyone find tha certain fields work better than others? For example, we've not had much

Books / links on best practices when writing on-line Help

Hi everyone
Not sure were to place this topic...
I have not posted in here for ages...
I am a RoboHelp user and I am looking for one or several
books about best practices when writing on-line help. For examples,
what are the "rules" or "do's" and "don'ts" for CSS, topic linking,
number of clicks, links within a topic, index building, etc.
Just wondering if some people on this forum know about some
good books where all of the rules or do's would be compiled?
Thanks in advance for any input.

KeepItSimple,Stupid!
That is, just because there are neat things like drop-down
text, marquees, and such, doesn't mean you should use them.
Stick to the basic HTML fonts and colors (use the
w3schools web site for all
things HTML and CSS.
Instead of styles, create your lists by selecting Normal
paragraphs and formatting with the Bullet and Number toolbar
buttons.
Keep your tables as simple as possible (try not to nest them
and have all sorts of row and column spans, and try to avoid lists
and figures, if you can). Also, break up very long tables into
functional groupings with introductory headings.
Use
Peter Grainge's web
site and

Any Suggestions for Bus/Aux, Sub/Stems Organization, Naming?

Hello Fellow Macers!
Using Logic Pro and learning step by step using Logic Pro 9 Manual. When it comes time to mix your first song (see pg 758: "Understanding The Basic Mixing Stages") under "Stage 1 Making Preparations" the manual suggests that you define some logical channel strip groups, grouping tracks, for example, roughly by type (drums, guitars, keyboards, eg.) in order to link their parameters so that you can adjust the whole group at once. My question is what is the best layout or organization to do this. Is it to select all your drums, create a group "Aux" Channel strip, name this group "Drums, and then assign all sends of this to Bus 1?
If that makes sense, then does it also make sense so set up a standard convention for Bus assignments for those Auxillary Channel Stips that you create, like below....
Bus 1 > Drums
Bus 2 > Percussion
Bus 3 > Bass
Bus 4 > Guitar
Bus 5 > Keyboards
Bus 6 > Orchestral
Bus 7 > Backup Vocals
Bus 8 > Wet
Bus 9 > Dry
etc, etc....while creating other Groups and assigning Buses for those...e.g.
Bus 20 > Strings
Bus 21 > Horns
While perhaps also using Buses 30-40 for grouping EFX, eg., ....
Bus 30 > Tape Delay
Bus 31 > Instrument Reverb
Bus 32 > Snare Reverb
Also, would 20-40 above be considered Stems, or submixes, or
FYI, This article, together with going through the manual, got me thinking on this subject:
http://logicblog.info/logic-pro-blog/2011/12/03/tips-on-organizing-and-bouncing- aux-buses-in-logic-pro.html
Also, any suggestions for a color convention to help organization, easy identification?
Hope this makes sense and I appologize in advance if it doesn't. Feel free to set me straight, ask for clarification, etc.
Thanks!!

looks like your database is in a deadlock situation. check you logs and try finding out where the deadlock is occuring.

Best practice when using Tangosol with an app server

Hi,
I'm wondering what is the best practice when using Tangosol with an app server (Websphere 6.1 in this case). I've been able to set it up using the resource adapter, tried using distributed transactions and it appears to work as expected - I've also been able to see cache data from another app server instance.
However, it appears that cache data vanishes after a while. I've not yet been able to put my finger on when, but garbage collection is a possibility I've come to suspect.
Data in the cache survives the removal of the EJB, but somewhere later down the line it appear to vanish. I'm not aware of any expiry settings for the cache that would explain this (to the best of my understanding the default is "no expiry"), so GC came to mind. Would this be the explanation?
If that would be the explanation, what would be a better way to keep the cache from being subject to GC - to have a "startup class" in the app server that holds on to the cache object, or would there be other ways? Currently the EJB calls getCacheAdapter, so I guess Bad Things may happen when the EJB is removed...
Best regards,

Hi Gene,
I found the configuration file embedded in coherence.jar. Am I supposed to replace it and re-package coherence.jar?
If I put it elsewhere (in the "classpath") - is there a way I can be sure that it has been found by Coherence (like a message in the standard output stream)? My experience with Websphere is that "classpath" is a rather ...vague concept, we use the J2CA adapter which most probably has a different class loader than the EAR that contains the EJB, and I would rather avoid to do a lot of trial/error corrections to a file just to find that it's not actually been used.
Anyway, at this stage my tests are still focused on distributed transactions/2PC/commit/rollback/recovery, and we're nowhere near 10,000 objects. As a matter of fact, we haven't had more than 1024 objects in these app servers. In the typical scenario where I've seen objects "fade away", there has been only one or two objects in the test data. And they both disappear...
Still confused,
/Per

Any Suggestions for CGI Script for Web Slide Slow?

Do you have any suggestions for creating a slideshow for my web site, 6 same-size jpgs that rotate automatically?
I think I prefer a cgi script. However, I've tried two that don't work on Firefox or Safari. One developer tells me that he can see the rotating photos.
I'm also open to software to create this. However, I'd prefer to use html code.
Of course, it must work cross platform.
Any suggestions?

Oh, what a beautiful baby! Is he/she yours?
She is mine. At least that's what the Mrs. tells me!
When you say gif, I am assuming that you mean the
format really must be gif and not jpg. Is that
correct?
Yes, the file is a GIF file. It's actually an animated GIF file, meaning that the images that you see are all frames of animation in a single GIF file. There are a lot of apps out there that can create animated GIFs. I happen to use Adobe ImageReady because that is what is on the hard drive.
Can you give me a hint about the dithering issue? Do
I dither or not dither, that is the question.
This is the major downside of the GIF format. It is a really old format...from back in the CompuServe bulletin board days...maybe older. Anyways, it is my understanding that GIFs can only hold information for 256 colors....any 256 colors, but no more and no less. So now in the days of "millions of colors" jpegs, you can imagine that a 256 color palette is limiting. But if the colors of your images are sufficiently close, its possible that 256 colors makes for perfectly acceptable images across all images. This is the one variable of converting images to GIF that can make it or break it for you. If your image has a pretty broad tonal range...like fleshtones or any other gradient...then 256 colors is going to represent things poorly. Then you will get dithering artifacts which is like averaging errors...colors are close...as close as possible...but not close enough to make a smooth gradation. Anyways, that's my layperson's understanding.
But for some images, it looks just fine.
