Back end and front end rebates from manufacturers

Good <Time_Of_Day> dear B1Pros,
I have a good one for you I hope.
We are getting ready to deploy our manufacturing and VAR portion of the business into B1, we ran into this.
We sometimes get rebates from the manufacturers or providers, for say education or 90 days coupons rebates type. Those have to either be applied to the price of the item but not the value or simply monitored and applied if received (as with any coupons rebate, there is no waranty you will validate, some get rejected).
So, anyone has any ideas on the best way to work these into the B1 world? We fear the need to do some coding with the SDK but may end up resolved to do so.
Any hints or experienced shared will be greatly appreciated,
Implementation isn't for tomorrow, we have time.
Thanks Pros,
Marc

Are you suggesting a UDF to flag the rebates and an FMS ( seems to allow automatic UDF calculations/updates from what I've read ), so FMS to track status of rebates?
Sounds good but we have several types of rebates and I am learning they are treated very differently. We may have 4 and as many as 12 types of rebates per line of business (each line is a seperate company, thus database).
I feel the company is making this perticular issue more complicated than it needs, then I start putting it on paper and can't seem to simplify it.
Case One:
Receive 200 units, out of which, 25 gets sold to education with EduRebate applied once credentials verified (30-60days), 20 gets sold to goverment with instant rebate GovRebate, 100 sold regular price, another 20 sold with 10% rebate if sold within 20days of reception (manufactures rebate to be applied for before 25 days of reception), rest is still in stock.
I thinks this represents our best and most fun example. Now remember, credentials have to be approved so out of the 25 education and 20 gouvernment say 5 educations got rejected and become regular priced items after 60 days and 2 gouvernment get rejected.
That would make for some interesting Search parameters.

Re: DB Time , OLAP Time and Front end time?

Hi Gurus,
What is DB Time,OLAP Time and Frontend time? In which scenerio's generally consider them. please guide me, points will be rewarded.

Hi,
Query Runtime Statistics (Previously OLAP Statistics) (Changed)
Technical data
Function is
Changed
For Release
Software components
· Component: SAP NetWeaver
· Release 2004s
Assignment to Application Component
BW-BEX-OT
Country Setting
Valid for all countries
Use
With the new architecture for BI reporting, collection of statistics for query runtime analysis was enhanced or changed. The parallelization in the data manager area (during data read) that is being used more frequently has led to splitting the previous "OLAP" statistics data into "data manager" data (such as database access times, RFC times) and front-end and OLAP times. The statistics data is collected in separate tables, but it can be combined using the InfoProvider for the technical content.
The information as to whether statistic data is collected for an object no longer depends on the InfoProvider. Instead it depends on those objects for which the data is collected, which means on a query, a workbook or a Web template. The associated settings are maintained in the RSDDSTAT transaction.
Effects on Existing Data
Due to the changes in the OLAP and front-end architecture, the statistic data collected up to now can only partially be compared with the new data.
Since the structure of the new tables differs greatly from that of the table RSDDSTAT, InfoProviders that are based on previous data (table RSDDSTAT) can no longer be supplied with data.
Effects on Customizing
The Collect Statistics setting is obsolete. Instead you have to determine whether and at which granularity you wish to display the statistics data for the individual objects (query, workbook, Web template). In the RSDDSTAT transaction, you can turn the statistics on and off for all queries for an InfoProvider. The maintenance of the settings (such as before) from the Data Warehousing Workbench can be reached using Tools ® BW Statistics.
DB Time:
It is the time to read the Database
Front End Time:
It is the time the query has taken to run in the front end.
If the above info is useful, please grant me points

How can i configure Distributed cache servers and front-end servers for Streamlined topology in share point 2013??

my question is regarding SharePoint 2013 Farm topology. if i want go with Streamlined topology and having (2 distribute cache and Rm servers+ 2 front-end servers+ 2 batch-processing servers+ cluster sql server) then how distributed servers will
be connecting to front end servers? Can i use windows 2012 NLB feature? if i use NLB and then do i need to install NLB to all distributed servers and front-end servers and split-out services? What will be the configuration regarding my scenario.
Thanks in Advanced!

For the Distributed Cache servers, you simply make them farm members (like any other SharePoint servers) and turn on the Distributed Cache service (while making sure it is disabled on all other farm members). Then, validate no other services (except for
the Foundation Web service due to ease of solution management) is enabled on the DC servers and no end user requests or crawl requests are being routed to the DC servers. You do not need/use NLB for DC.

I upgraded to ios6 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved. Can I some how restore from the apps?

I upgraded to ios6.1.3 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved. Can I some how restore the apps to avoid having to pay for them again and having to recreate settings?

As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Coldfusion back-end, AngularJS front-end, and Security

The company I work for is building an application in which security is of the utmost importance. We're really hoping to use Angular as the client-side application, and we're exploring how best to create our back-end in ColdFusion (which we've used for a few years now).
I understand that only so much security can exist in the front-end of the app, and that the bulk of the work needs to happen on the server. But I'm really unsure about how to move forward in that regard. From what I've read, it sounds like we'll need some kind of Authentication Token to be created on login and stored on the backend. This token should come along with every http request, and the server can then decide on the validity of the request.
Does this sound about right? And if so, are there best practices for implementing it?
Any resources that might shed more light on the topic would be HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonathan

ThanksSimplest way would be to use web services.It is new thing for me to learn...
How efficient to do it compared to all in one either C# or java? I guess it would be slower.
Either C# or java can handle the job. Why both? I don't get it.It all depends on how big the teams are and how much "separation of concerns" you are looking for. In enterprise architecture what i aim to do is try to give the development groups freedom to use whatever technology they feel best suits their need...BUT...if they want to talk to other systems and vice versa, they have to follow certain standards (SOAP, REST etc). Architect the lines, not the boxes. If you are not looking for separation of concerns, sure build out everything in one technology..but keep it mind future changes.Thank,
It is good thing to learn. I used to work with java front end calling Cobol back end (using transactions)
I know C# and java can talk by SOAP or web services but only wondered about the reason.
If I am going to design everything new, one technology is the answer.

Diffrence between backend insert and front end insert into a table.

I am developing a conversion program for tax exemption. For this program only ZX_EXEMPTIONS table is used to populate the data and we got confirmation from Oracle also regarding this.For inserting the data into this table we are taking the max of tax_exemption_id which is pk for this table and adding one to it and inserting into the table. But problem here is after inserting from back end we are not able to insert from front end.
It seems backend data is holding the tax_exemption_id which is suppose to reserve by front end data.Please explain the different behavior of populating of tax_exemption_id from front end and back end.

Hi,
i think the problem is that you are using max-value + 1 for tax_exemption_id. But as ZX_EXEMPTIONS is using sequence ZX_EXEMPTIONS_S
for primary key generation, you encounter situation that you are increasing PK Id for this table without increasing sequence value.
When trying to insert rows from front end - which probably uses sequence value - it tries to use a sequence value already used by your backend
process (which generated it by Maxvalue + 1) and would then encounter a primary key violation.
I think you should use sequence mentioned above to generate your PK Ids in backend process as well. And before doing so, check current value
of ZX_EXEMPTIONS_S, as you might need to rebuild the sequence in order to select nextval sucessfully for both frontend and backend.

Search on App and Front End servers

Hi, we migrating from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. And I have a question for Search Service Application.
On SharePoint 2010 Search application we have Crawl hosted on APP server and index partitions hosted on Front-end servers.
On SharePoint 2013 Search application in Search Application Topology I see only App server with all components marked as OK.
Is it enough to have only one App server in Search Application Topology. Or should I add Front-end server to Search Application Topology too?

Hi,
For a good user experience and performance, it is recommend that WFE servers hold Query processing component, App servers hold Analytics processing component，Content processing component，Crawl component，Search administration component. Here is the PowerShell
Script for Configuring Enterprise Search Topology:
$hostWFE = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity "sp"
$hostApp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity "app"
Start-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $hostWFE
Start-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $hostApp
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $hostWFE
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $hostApp
$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$newTopology = New-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa
New-SPEnterpriseSearchAdminComponent -SearchTopology $newTopology -SearchServiceInstance $hostApp
New-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlComponent -SearchTopology $newTopology -SearchServiceInstance $hostApp
New-SPEnterpriseSearchContentProcessingComponent -SearchTopology $newTopology -SearchServiceInstance $hostApp

CMS Replication between Edge and Front End

Hello Support
We have a global Lync Deployment with CMS Store located in UK
We have installed new AU Lync-FE and Edge server but the CMS replication between Front End Server and Lync Edge is not working
I have test 4443 and certainly open. Lync Edge server or the FE server does not logs anything in event viewer.
I have used OCSlogger but I could not find any issue
I have checked certificates and they are all valid.
Can I please get some guidance.
Thanks

Naimesh Mistry

HI NImesh,
First if you are looking at Lync control panel you might see the Cross because Edge server is non domain machine.
you can check the command Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus
Also there are Cert problem which could lead this issue
The root CA certificate should be located in Trusted Root Certification Authorities ONLY,
and must be removed from any other container.
The intermediate CA certificate should be located in Intermediate Certification AuthoritiesAND Trusted
People ONLY, and must be removed from any other container
Also create the below registry values.
created2 registry values in:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL as follows (to prevent schnnell.dll from
interfering with validating the certificates by Edge server):
Value
1:
Name: SendTrustedIssuerList
Type: DWord
Value: 0
Value
2:
Name: ClientAuthTrustMode
Type: DWord
Value: 2
then try to reboot the server and run this command Invoke-CsManagementStoreReplication
Hope this works.

Are Registrar pool and Front end pool one and the same?

Hi,
What is the RegistrarPool parameter which is used in Enable-CsUser command?
Is it same as Front end pool because whenever I search for information on Registrar pool, I end up with the links explaining about Front end pools?
Are there any msdn or technet links which talk about this?
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
The registrar pool is the pool where user's Lync account is homed.
So if you have a single pool in your Lync environment, then the registrar pool will be same as front end pool. If you have multiple front end pools and you want to find out a user's registrar pool, you can
1. either check the user account in control panel
2. Check the parameter RegistrarPool for a user by running "get-csuser -identity useralias"
Hope this helps.
