Customer has 2 data centers that about 20 miles apart have a P2P link between the D.C and a backup WAN link as well
My question is
If customer wants HA or redundancy across both the D.C, how do I design the solution
Can I just double the quantity in the VM and replicate all the components in the other D.C ?
Please let me know what is the ideal solution to achieve the HA.
I referred the SRND BUT, I am unable to get what I need
ashwin (from egain) response was "Yes, it will be equivalent to doing a new deployment in DC2. You will also need to setup database replication jobs between the SQL DB of DC1 and that of DC2. This is a standard Microsoft procedure. Plus, when DC1 goes down, DC2 must be brought up manually – procedure called cold standby. This deployment is outside of the main product-supported deployments, because of additional factors such as SQL replication, cold standby steps, etc, so more often than not, will involve eGain PS engagement."
My biggest concren is that if I place the componenst across two D.C is that even a supported model. I don't want the customer to deploy an unsupported model . Please recommed the right architecture. I have attcahed the arch diagram & blade mapping as well

Optimum approach to architect BI solution in Business Object and SAP BI

Hi Expects , I as long as my experience going in delivering BI solution in Business Object and SAP BI We have option to connect to SAP BI via Building BO Universe on SAP BI cube or BEX Query . Now take a example we have 1000s of BEX queries in production. So Should I architect the solution recommending creation of 1000s of BO Universe. Which I donu2019t feel fusible option. You may reply me back saying create BO Universe on SAP BI Cube/Multiprovider, which will reduce no of universe to be created . But at the same time couple of questions comes in my mind u20131. Will I be able to leverage SAP BIA (SAP Business Intelligence Accelerator) to get best performance . 2. As of now BIA dose not accelerate queries build on Multiprovider ??? I believe When I Build Universe on BEX Query It will leverage BIA , But Not sure what will happen if I build BO Universe on Cube. Can we collectedly arrive at Optimum approach to architect Bi solution in Business Object and SAP BI ?? Comments are welcomed Regards Ashutosh D

Best way to architect a solution for XML.

Hi All,
I am attempting to ascertain the best method to deal with this scenario:
A third party piece of software produces an xml which contains a product list.
I want to take this xml strip out some unrequired strings and then compare the differences between the current live product list - which is a web based product list stored in an oracle database and the incoming xml.
I then want to take the delta, i.e. the change since product list was last loaded and generate xml for the new/changed product - to load into another database.
My initial thoughts were to load the xml into a staging table in the database - do a compare with a master table and then generate the delta xml.
Does this sound like a good idea or am I missing a trick?
If this is a reasonable sounding method can anyone point me in the direction of an example piece of code for loading the xml file into the database?

Possibly (for a good generic answer)
Here are some things to read to help you along with that decision and to find examples.

EIM integration with Siebel CRM

Hi Folks,
I have a customer who wants to integrate EIM solution with Siebel CRM solution and their basic requirement is to record all the chat, email conversation and other activities including the articles shoud save in Siebel CRM and Agent must be be able to get the info.
EIM version is 4.3.x
UCCE 8.5

hi there
Siebel does offer email functionality directly within Siebel CRM. so to have everythign within the CRM it would be the most straigth forward approach to handle all the medias from the beginning within Siebel --> having all contact history already at the place in the CRM where your customer requests to have it.
for the voice and mail channel there is a multi channel adapter available integrating Cisco UCCE and Siebel CRM. Siebel does today not contain of a dedicated chat modul - so this isn't integrated (yet).
is chat a requirement you do face today? or as you talk about EIM "only" voice and mail?
if an approach for voice and mail would help to cover your customers requirements then i do auggest to have a look at http://www.bucher-suter.com/en/products/bucher-suter-software/siebel-integration.html.

I have Struts 1.1 working in the portal

Hello all,
I was having the same problem you have all seen. The long:
com.bea.netuix.nf.UIControlException: No ActionResult returned for action [/Home] in Struts module []. Please ensure that both module and action are correct in portlet StrutsContent element.
Here's how you solve it. Follow the "Integrating Struts Applications" tutorial, except realize the following: Workshop creates a Java Page Flow (JPF) application for you when you create a new Portal Web Project. JPF is a proprietary extension to struts by BEA. You cannot have a JPF application and a struts application in the same "module". So you are all probably doing exactly what I did and putting all your struts app's JSP's, images, html files, etc. in the root of the web application folder. This won't work because the root folder is a "module" that already is owned by JPF.
Instead create a sub folder in the web app root. Call it whatever you want, like "strutsModule" for example. Put all your struts applications jsp's, etc. that you would normally put in the web root in there instead. Still put all your source for the action classes, etc. in the web-inf/src folder like normal. Put your struts config in the web-inf folder but call it struts-auto-config-strutsModule.xml. Then when you create the "portlet" in step 4 specify "/strutsModule" as your "module" uri, and the first struts action your app should run as the struts action.
Everything will magically work now.
Good luck

Cost Of Sales

Hey Good People,
I have a client who is having problems with the calculation o Cost of sales.
The Client is a retailer who imports most of his products for local sale. Import and pricing is handled in foreign Currency - USD or EUR, whilst sales is in Local currency
The Company places and Sales Order say for 10 Items at 10 Dollars Each = 100 Dollars.
At time of Purchase order (01.02.09) and GRN (28.02.09) the Local Currency Monthly Exchange rate to the dollar is say 10. Therefore the Equivalent in Local currency (LC) at the time of placing the order is 10 items at 100 (LC) = 1000 (LC). At the GRN Stage, landed Costs are recorded in Local currency = Total is 500 (LC)
Thus the total Item cost in Local currency is Purchase Price (1000) + Landed Costs (500) divided by qty (10) = 15 LC Per Item
All this is recorded within SAP. The problem occurs on Purchase invoicing and recoding/adjustment of Cost of Sales (Delivery/Invoice Item Cost).
As the goods are already in the store, they begin sales 01.03.09 - sales price marked up appropriately to 25 (LC).4 items are sold and the Cost of Sale for this Sales Delivery/Invoice is 6*15 = 80 (LC). 4 Remain in Stock
The client is then sent the Purchase Invoice to pay on the 05.03.09 - here the Exchange Rate has risen to 11. Thus the Invoice is for 1100 (LC) - Equivalent to 100 USD as the order and GRN. This is paid with no problem and SAP Makes Appropriate adjustments - This will reflect in the P& L and the variance reduces overall profitability
The problem that exists is the Sales Analysis Gross Profitability Report in SAP - by Items and by Customer. This takes the Values in the Invoices/Deliveries whose COS cannot can never be adjusted.
The only option would be to spread the additional cost to the other Items and this would result in some items being sold at a loss.
Take the Example above
4 items remain in stock - additional Cost due to Exchange differences is 100, Spread evenly to products = equals 25 added to Costs = New Cost is thus 40 (Old Item Cost plus revaluation). The selling price cannot be adjusted (need to remain competitive/consistent). Thus the remaining four are sold at a loss.
Has anyone encountered this problem ? Can anyone propose any Solutions/Workaround
Your input will be greatly appreciated
Regards,
Michael Mbiyu
SAP B1 Consultant
EIM Solutions, Kenya

Hi Micheal
Your problem is not uncommon, and one cannot expect a system to allow you to change the cost on sales afterwards as this would involve a lot of adjustments. This is normal behavior and the only workarounds would be to block imported goods from sale until the invoice has been processed, or to keep the exchange rate the same from the Goods Receipt to the invoice and allow the exchange rate difference to be absorbed when paying the invoice at the final exchange rate. This can be achieved by using the same date for the invoice as was used for the Goods Receipt.
Is there a reason why the dates of the GRPO and Invoice differ? Usually with imports a Pro Forma Invoice is issued in order to get bank and forex approvals prior to importing goods.
Let me know so I can better understand the timing difference in invoicing.
Kind regards

Need help in GRC Migration

Hello Gurus,
I am looking for an Expert who could assist me in GRC Migration.
I have downloaded the Migration guide, which is available on Market Place.
There is a Migration Tool available (Java Tool), howevre there is nothing mentioned about the migration tool in Migration Guide. This is confusing.
Currently there 2 active modules in GRC 5.3 and those are RAR and SPM.
ARM need to be configured once we migrate to GRC 10.
I need help for migration planning or making a roadmap for Migration and also require help on requirement gathering / Business Blueprinting for ARM.
Please revert back on the same thread.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Atul Rajwade

Hi Atul
I need help for migration planning or making a roadmap for Migration and also require help on requirement gathering / Business Blueprinting for ARM.
This type of help is architecture and strategy experience. Have you done design work before?
If you are hoping for some assistance, you might get a better response if you provide what you are intending to do first and seek clarification on your thoughts rather then just say you need help without specify which parts your need assistance with.
Asking someone to revert back to you this information to close to completing system design for you.
If you do not know how to architect a solution, I recommend you seek a consultant to provide this service to you. The planning and roadmap will come back to the business process design, understanding what data needs to be migrated from 5.3 (e.g. rule set, mitigating controls, etc) as well as how GRC 10 is to be used.
Regards
Colleen

Best practises for Hub and spoke Metro Etherent network

Hi there,
It is my first MAN deployment. I will use the 6513 as the core switch and the 3550 as the edge switches to the customer.
The customer has 9 locations. The customer asked for interconnection between the 9 locations and his Data center in his HQ.
Additionally his Internet connection is at the HQ too.
What is the best practice to architect this solution addressing security? How I deploy VLANs (like one vlan for the internet, one vlan for each department, one management vlan. Etc)
Any advises

Hi Sam,
Let me add my two cents here, when speaking about MAN deployments the name of the game is MPLS, so I guess you are using the same on your Cat 6500s and connecting your customers on 3550s using Vlans.
Regarding your questions:
a) Upgrading Ethernet to L3 for traffic shaping: This is basically done at 3550, so I suppose that's what you intend to do, plus you will be letting Spokes talk to only Hub site, so inter Vlan, atleast between Hub and each spoke will be required, hence inter valn routing. Other way is to configure P2P circuits between Hub site with Vlan mapping (per spoke) and Spoke sites with Port mapping, in this scenario Inter Vlan routing is not a necessity.
b) Security: This depends on what exact architecure you have deployed, in my case I have simply installed a Gateway router with BGP peering with PEs, a separate VRF alongwith redistribution does the trick.
Hope I addresses the query correctly, let me know if that helped..
Cheers

Need info on how PTG connects to OID

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me how PTG can connect to OID and how to architect the solution? In this situation does a wireless device connect to the PTG server first and with a hook redirect the login request to OID? How do we bypass the PTG security and utilize the OID security?
Thank you

MY Internet provider is Time Warner / Roadrunner cable..Does this help you to solve my problem. Nothing wrong with the modem..just my wrt 610N settings, I'm guessing it carried over from my wrt 310N..this was working fine until a couple of months ago and then nothing for this one website.
I'm running XP
Thank you in advance for any help or info

Download Bloomberg data to SAP

Dear all,
at a customer we want to download energy prices from specific companies from Bloomberg and compare it with the prices they agreed upon with these companies.
My question is, what's the best way to get this data from Bloomberg on any given time and then store it in SAP to be compared with at any given moment.
The customer has PI as middleware and our idea was to download the wanted data from Bloomberg into a SAP table but whether it has to go via PI or if PI can be bypassed is not clear to me. I suppose the data has to be made readable to SAP so some sort of mapping has to be done. And when PI is used would the data be put in a flat file in the form of an idoc?
Also I would like to know how we can call the Bloomberg tool with the request to send their data.
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
Mark

Hi,
first things first, consider - what are the constraints & requirements you are operating in?
In what format is your data?
Where is it hosted?
By what application or database?
Using what connectivities or semantic layers are you hoping to connect to this data?
the questions above are for you to think about. We may not have the immediate answer , so i'd like to encourage you to think about how you are architecting this solution/integration.
Regards,
H

Black background in a pivot table

Hiiiii, I have a page in sharepoint that contains tables and charts from Excel and it was working perfectly.One of a sudden some parts of this page gives me black background in the pivot table or the charts or the tables that have BI tools.. can u plz helped me 2 solve this weird issue. Regards

I have had a very difficult time with PivotTable Report formatting, holding onto the formatting that has been set.. The only way I was able to achieve the formatting necessary for one client was to build the pivot report in one location and reference it with the appropriate formatting from another.... Not very fun...

WSDL nullPointerException

Hi All,
I have a problem with some wsdl files.
Situation:
1. BEA Server 9.0
2. Starting point for web service is WSDL file.
3. WSDL file imports XSD schema type definitions!
4. Web service generated with Bea 9 Ant tasks "wsdlc" and "jwsc".
5. Service generation, deployment and test OK.
However, if the WSDL file is requested online from the service
e.g. "http://host/service/AService.jws?WSDL"
the WSDL file does not contain directly the XSD schema type definitions but still import statements like
<xs:import namespace="http://anamespace"
schemaLocation="AService.jws?WSDL/sub/in/ATypeIn.xsd" />
When I try to generate a Service Control with Weblogic Workshop 8.1.4 I receive a NullPointerException at line 0 column 0.
Question:
1. Is this a bug? or
2. Is it possible to configure the Server (or web service generation Ant task or ...) in such a way that the web service response with a WSDL file that contains directly all XSD schema type definitions?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Cord

Hi guys,
I had the same problem and what I had to do was import the Schema project that holds all schemas included in the WSDL that I was trying to generate a control from. In my case I had the Schema project because I was the one that developed the WebService too, in your case it's possible that you have to create an Schema project and somehow extract the schemas from de WSDL and create .xsd files to put in the project.
After doing this you will see the popup window (when you try to generate a service control from the WSDL file) asking if you want to use the XMLBeans generated from the xsd files in your Schema project otherwise it will generate inner classes based in the WSDL's schemas, you must choose YES (use the existing XMLBeans) and that should be it for creating a Service Control based on a WSDL file.
Hope this helps in most cases.

Digitally Signing specific SOAP elements using Java Mapping

Hello SDNers,
Iu2019m having trouble creating java mappings to sign and verify digital signatures. Iu2019m new to Java so this is proving difficult. I understand the basic concepts of OO programming and utilizing classes/objects to build the program, but Iu2019m having trouble with the conceptual understanding of how I would like to get this done.
I have outbound and inbound messages. The outbound messages are originating from an ECC backend. The messages are processed through PI with a basic Message Mapping, then it is wrapped in a SOAP envelope with specific information using a XSL mapping and then I would like to use a Java Mapping to Digitally Sign specific portions of the entire message; specifically around an element in the SOAP header and sign the SOAP body. I also need to verify these sections for all inbound messages.
The simple pseudo code I have for the outbound messages is as follows:
<ol>
<li>1. read in xml (file input stream)</li>
<li>2. find the (specific information)</li>
<ol>
<li>a. assign that string to a variable</li>
<li>b. sign this variable with the security profile (keystore, private key)</li>
<li>c. e-write the variable into the main xml file</li>
</ol>
<li>3. find the soap body</li>
<ol>
<li>a. assign that string to a variable</li>
<li>b. sign this variable with the security profile (keystore, private key)</li>
<li>c. re-write the variable into the main xml file</li>
</ol>
<li>4. write the output file with both variables written (file output stream)</li>
</ol>
Currently Iu2019m using PI 7.1 so there is no more Visual Administrator tool.
Iu2019ve seen the examples from the last link, but I canu2019t seem to put it together when mixed with basic java mapping example. I have been searching the SDN forums for a while now, but hereu2019s my specific question: how do you create a java mapping to sign and verify specific elements of a SOAP message?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Hi Jason, did you ever architect a solution for this?
