Best deployment practices?

I've been working with LiveCycle about 4 weeks and now I'm so wondering what the best practices for deployment are.
Normally, in any software development efforts, there are three different environments (Dev - Test - Production) or two (Dev - Production) at least. And each environment has configurations so the software runs smoothly within the environment it runs on.
For example, communications between other machines (web services, database connections, etc...) are highly configurable because each environment has its own set of copies to isolate one environment from another. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to achieve this with LiveCycle.
Say I have a process that's fully tested under development environment and want to promote it to test environment. How can I change the database connections or web services connections for test environment? And say, I have a fully functioning PDF (including web services calls in development environment) in development environment and want to promote it to test environment. How can I promote it to the next environment easily (not by modifying the PDF to interact with test environment web services)? The only way I've learned is to modify the PDF to talk to the other machines in test environment which is not feasible if you have to handle a few hundreds of PDF files and each one has tens of web services calls - Well, even if it's only one file, it shouldn't have to be this way.
I think this is very very common scenario but I haven't found any documents or help about this. And it seems that LiveCycle is not designed to cover this common development scenario.
Maybe I'm struggling because I do not know LiveCycle very well. But still it shouldn't be hard to figure this out.
So, what is the best deployment practices in LiveCycle?
Any comments or workarounds are highly appreciated.

Look into using Configuration Parameters - essentially variables that can be set when you import an LCA from one system to another.

Whats the BEST Deployment Practice for appsTier (2 Node) with RAC Database

Hi All,
Whats the BEST Deployment Practice for appsTier on Shared APPL_TOP between two application tier Nodes and a RAC Database.

Satish,
Could you elaborate; are you looking for how to distribute the tiers(forms, web, conc., etc.); are you asking about PCP (parallelt concurrent processing)..

What are the best security practices for your forms and databases

What are some of the best security practices to follow to
ensure your database isn't attacked with injections, forms abused
with snippets of code, and mass spam DB inserts on your

Hi,
Lets first start from your Select Statement.....Replace your SELECT ....ENDSELECT by SELECT Into Internal Table
Your program is having a SELECT...ENDSELECT within LOOP...ENDLOOP........One should avoid doing this as far as possible.
SELECT mkpf~mblnr
              mkpf~xblnr
INTO itab
for all entires i_list
from    mkpf inner join mseg
    on   mkpfmandt = msegmandt
    and mkpfmblnr = msegmblnr
    and mkpfmjahr = msegmjahr
    where mseg~matnr = i_list-matnr
       and mseg~charg = i_list-charg
       and mseg~kunnr = i_list-kunnr
       and mseg~sobkz = i_list-sobkz
       and mseg~werks = i_list-werks
       and mkpf~budat in budat.
Restructure youe complete code with this approach and Share your Finding's.
You can also think of using a SAP Standard FM.

Best/Easiest Practice for Distribution of Webhelp files for Fat(ish) Client Application

So another in my long line of questions in trying to change the implementation of the help systems at my new employer.
So, the pressure is to convince the existing guard to toss out the old method and go with a new method... One of the issues has come up for CSH Webhelp (via RH10)...
Apparently, in the old method (where every help topic was it's own CHM - no, I'm not kidding). They kept it that way so that any time a help file was updated, they could just send out that one chm to update that one topic.
Now they are worried that if we switch to webhelp using topics in one single big project that we can't just send out a single updated file any more...
So I'm trying to get ammunition as to how updates to the help can be distributed without it being a big hassle...
We do have small updates that go out about every week, and they are afraid that going to the webhelp (1 project with lots of topics) method will require more time and effort for the techs because they will have to complete the update of a huge help system every time.
One solution we have suggested is that we only update help files on major releases and add any changes to help procedures in the Release Notes or in a separate PDF and also include a note that the help files "will be updated to reflect this change in the XX/2015 XYZ Release).
Does ANYONE have any other ideas of how distribution could be done efficiently so that we don't have to continue this "project per topic" fiasco?
HELP!!! PLEASE!!!!

Amebr - you hit the nail on the head... i want to apologize to everyone for all this mass hysteria...but this has been a freaking rollercoaster... one day they are happy with the plan, the next day they decided they want to complicate it more... So now my job is to find out how viable and how tricky and perhaps how dangerous it will be to send out JUST the files that have been changed. Especially for CSH!
Anyone have any experience with this or have any advice? Peter? I suspect you might know how this might work... are they any pitfalls to watch out for.. I just have this fear of sending out a few files from an entire project... Altho, it appears when I publish, ONLY the files that have been edited in some way show a new date.. that includes non-topic files - so i'm assuming sending all those will keep the TOC, Index, and Search features working properly... as well as incoming and outgoing links from an edited topic?
Another question would be how to handle new images in a project... as the image folder tends to be the largest, i don't want to have to send the entire image folder... Thoughts...???? Advice? Jeff? Peter? Amebr? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller....?
THANKS!Best/Easiest Practice for Distribution of Webhelp files for Fat(ish) Client Application
OH... and Jeff... my apologies for the misnomer of using the term "Fat-ish" client in reference to this... I totally misspoke and should have said Mobile App... but in my mind, any time you have to download something to use it, it's a fat client... sorry! :-/

What are the best printer deployment practices for Win Server 2012 R2?

I have about 40 printers deployed around my school. My users move around my building and log into several computers throughout the day. I need to consistently get the correct group of printers to map to the computer upon startup and set a default printer.
I have tried to use GP, but the inability to set a default printer within the computer policy is a crippling issue. I have tried using third party software (Kaseya DPM) where I can set printers and default printers, but the real-world, daily deployment is
inconsistent. I have a logon script that I used to use, but the printers were trying to map before the network was established; the printer mapping was failing because the script was too fast.
This is not a new idea. What is the best way to consistently deploy printers that are mapped to specific computers?

Why not using user policy with item level targeting for the computer name?

Best/Recommended Practices regarding realms & psearches

Update: I've found documentation and materials stating that the performance issues related to having multiple realms and their associated psearches (persistent searches) has been fixed in OpenSSO. While this is reassuring in that my initial design should work, it doesn't necessarily mean it is the best method for deployment. If anyone has an opinion on this I would like still like to hear it.
Hi everyone,
First of all, thank you for any information you have provided/will provide to me. I am new to OpenSSO, so this forum has been a useful early stop for answers to questions.
In my scenario I have a small number of applications (less than 10). Each one has different requirements for HTTP Header variables/parameters, and there are no authorization requirements (fine or coarse). My question is regarding the initial realm configuration:
I have been planning to deploy a single sub-realm for each application. The idea was that it would allow for greater flexibility and customization for each application down the road. I have heard some interesting stories regarding multiple realms, persistent seaches and performance from Access Manager 7.1. In the documentation, I see that persistent searches are disabled by default in OpenSSO 8.0 and that there are a significant number of configuration options available.
-In OpenSSO 8.0, is one sub-realm for each application a recommended or even a good practice method?
--If not, can I still separate header variables by application, or will I need to deliver all the variables to each application and let them take what they want?
-Should I be aiming to configure persistent searches?
--If so, what sort of configuration would be a good baseline to start from?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

sirinek,
I want to provide the ability for other systems, outside of my network domain (Linux and VMS servers), to deliver data files to my server for processing on a regular recurring basis. These file transfers will be unattended and executed via scheduling utilities on those remote systems.
While these remote systems are managed by a trusted sister organization, I want to provide this access in a way that minimizes risk to servers under my responsibility.
What tools and configurations are best suited for this? SFTP? SSH Authorized keys?
Should the account be configured in a manner that limits access?
Thanks for your help.

Cross Farm Continuous build and deployment practice

Hi All,
What is the best practice to move the wsp deployments and content deployment from dev server to test server
and then test server to production?
powershell commands is one of the solution , but for continuous build and deployment is their any better practice?
Is there any tool which keeps track of the deployments (similar to cruise control for build)
Thanks and Regards,

Best organizing practice for Apple Loops

Did a search for this, but to no avail.
I recently bought some big fish apple loops. They import beautifully using drag and drop, except for one thing:
On the big fish DVD, each folder of the loop is called something non-descript, like 'Eflat40bpmfull'. So in the loops browser, it's not really possible to search for some of these things, unless you have the original DVD open and know what you're looking for.
So how best to import these - or am I just not using the loops browser in the right way? One idea I had was to change the names of the loops before importing them, so they would be easier to locate, but I'm unsure if that destroys any of the looping tags on them.
Thoughts?

Hi Peter,
I don't think renaming them will destroy the metadata (tags).
If its a hassle renaming every one, maybe a workaround to aid searching, assuming they've come in various sub-folders depending on their content would be to drag & drop them onto the loop browser whilst inside their various folders, giving the folders descriptive names e.g. 'bigfish guitars' & 'bigfish drumfills' - then although the samples would still have their slighty useless names at least you could choose a folder from the jampack organiser drop down menu in the loop browser & flick through a lesser number of slightly uselessly named loops that are at least in the right ballpark for the type of thing you're looking for?
I do find it annoying when sample banks aren't practically named - although samplemagic do seem to have got it right on this count from what I've seen
Cheers
Adam
