Best exporting practices for complex artwork for indesign to print file

Hey there,
Just a question, I have 4 moderately complex vector art works that are being used in a print campaign. These have a few transparencies and multiply effects (eg shadows and shines etc)
Now to get these files into indesign for the designer to put into the print material, what is the best practice a) to keep printers happy b) keep artwork accurate to signed off proof.
I understand cleaning up file and checking for spots, bleed, rgb, rich black vs 100 black, overprinting white problems blah blah. What I want to know is - is it better to keep it layered eg. pdf 1.4 or flatten it from the start as 1.3 pdf set to "high" for flattening etc? Which gets the best end results and what keeps printers happy?
Any feedback advice would be gold.
Cheers ...

Shouldn't matter in any way. ID will do any flattening if and when necessary based on the native AI file's properties.

IMPLEMENTING PAGEWISE CONCEPT FOR COMPLEX QUERIES FOR WEB BASED TECHNOLOGIES

Dear Friends
how do i implement Page Wise concept for complex queries. Complex queries includes 'Group by', 'from selects'. Mere Rownum selection doesnt solve my problem. I have 3 buttons 'Previous', 'Next' and 'display of No. of records' . Kindly suggest me with a solution.

The only widespread way is dynamically bild a SQL clause then parse and execute it using dynamic sql (package dbms_sql) or native dynamic sql (execute immediate clause).
You can go through your already built cursor and display only those records you need (for example from 10th to 20th). I think there is no way to leave cursor open and reuse it another time. Every time You hit next, back or count button you need build new cursor (either selecting context columns to show some records or selecting count(*) to show number of records). You can generate this code with Oracle Designer, making webserver modules. Of course this will cost rather many $$$. Another tip - Designer makes this code for all situations and therefore it is somewhat difficult to understand it in the beginning. If you really need some example I can send something to you.

How to convert an Indesign CC print file to ePub

I have an InDesign CC 2014 book created for print and now need to convert it to an ePub for iPad, Kindle etc. It has a number of large illustrations so would be best a fixed layout, not relfowable, ePub. Is it best to increase the font sizes to something like 16pt and are there any other tips for exporting to ePub?
Prompt help will be appreciated, this needs to be done fairly quickly.
Thanks.

If you want to produce your eBook quickly and easily produce it as a PDF. If you need to produce it as an ePub (fixed or variable) and as a mobi (for Kindle), you will need to repurpose your original inDesign file and learn how to do so, which will take some time.
There are a number of excellent tutorials on Lynda.com and books, such as those by Liz Castro, and, of course, help on the InDesign ePub forum with individual issues.

Searching artwork for only one song at a time

When I use the "Get Artwork" feature in iTunes it searches my entire library for artwork that i'm missing (which i don't think it does a very good job at it anyway). this takes too long and just isn't what i want. Is there a way to have it only seach for album artwork for just one song.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I don't believe iTunes will focus on one track when finding Cover Art.
However, I use the Album Art Widget, which will supply the cover art (if it's available on Amazon) for the track, or album currently playing.
Very easy to use.

Musician Wanting To Add Artwork For CD

I'm a musician who has just released a new CD. Where can I submit my album artwork so that people who buy my CD will see it when they import it into itunes.

That makes sense .
I could be mistaken but I thought that Apple used an
external entity to retrieve artwork and I was hoping
to submit to them directly.
I do plan to submit my CD to Apple in the near future
but I thought that this might be a quick option in
the mean time.
Apple uses an external provider called Gracenote (as in Gracenote CDDB) to obtain track/album/artist information when you insert an Audio CD. However Gracenote do not provide Album Artwork.
Apple therefore use their own iTunes store as the source of Album Artwork pictures for iTunes. Currently there are about 4 million tracks on the iTunes store with the notable exception of the Beatles. (A friend recently wanted to know why iTunes would not automatically add artwork for his Beatles CDs, it is of course because they are not [yet] on the iTunes store.)
The majority of Album Artwork on the iTunes store is 600x600 pixels, this compares with Microsoft's WMP and their equivalent source of Album Artwork which (even ignoring the incredible number of inaccuracies in their database) is a rather pathetic 200x200 pixels. Amazon and Walmart internet stores use 500x500 pixels.
Finally, yes, in order for your artwork for your CD to work in iTunes using this "Get Album Artwork" facility, your CD or tracks have to be on sale on the iTunes store. Part of the process of submitting your music to the iTunes store for sale will include providing artwork to Apple for inclusion.

Best practice or good pattern for developing complex swing UI

When I develop some a bit complex swing UI which maybe contain many labels, fields etc. my code becomes massive. Especially when I use GridbagLayout, when there are many components on a panel, if I want to add or remove or change one component's position sometimes I need to modify many x, y to adjust. Are there any good pattern or solution for dealing with this? Should I write my own layout? Or to find a UI designer Plugin in eclipse (but I feel the codes generated by designer are usually hard to maintain)? Thanks.

I've recently been working with GridBagLayout. My current solution for working with this layout is to, whenever possible, create a panel builder class that builds the panel. This only works well, however, if your panel layout can be described in a generic fashion.
For example, I have a particular layout I want to use that consists of headers that can span the entire width of a panel with sections between the headers that consist of two roughly centered columns such that each section has the same center line between the columns. I can accomplish this with GridBagLayout. So I wrote a panel builder with methods addHeader(Component) and addRow(leftComponent, rightComponent), a few other helper methods, and behind the scenes, it prepares it all using a GridBagLayout.
Sort of like this:
MyPanelBuilder builder = new MyPanelBuilder();
builder.addHeading("Section 1");
builder.addRow(fooPanel, barPanel);
builder.addHeading("Section 2");
builder.addRow(aPanel, bPanel);
builder.addRow(cPanel, dPanel);
JPanel myPanel = builder.build();Behind the scenes, the panel builder keeps a list of everything it needs to add to the panel. Then when build is called, it lays it all out in a panel using GridBagLayout and returns it.
As for extending JFrame for your main application frame and JPanel for specific purpose application panels, I'm still not convinced it's a bad idea.

Best practices to reduce downtime for Database releases(rolling changes)

Hi,
What are best practices to reduce downtime for database releases on 10.2.0.3? What DB changes can be rolling and what can't?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
RJiv.

I would be very dubious about any sort of universal "best practices" here. Realistically, your practices need to be tailored to the application and the environment.
You can invest a lot of time, energy, and resources into minimizing downtime if that is the only goal. But you'll generally pay for that goal in terms of developer and admin time and effort, environmental complexity, etc. And you generally need to architect your application with rolling upgrades in mind, which necessitates potentially large amounts of redesign to existing applications. It may be perfectly acceptable to go full-bore into minimizing downtime if you are running Amazon.com and any downtime is unacceptable. Most organizations, however, need to balance downtime against other needs.
For example, you could radically minimize downtime by having a second active database, configuring Streams to replicate changes between the two master databases, and configure the middle tier environment so that you can point different middle tier servers against one or the other database. When you want to upgrade, you point all the middle tier servers against database A other than 1 that lives on a special URL. You upgrade database B (making sure to deal with the Streams replication environment properly depending on requirements) and do the smoke test against the special URL. When you determine that everything works, you configure all the app servers to point at B and have Streams replication process configured to replicate changes from the old data model to the new data model), upgrade B, repeat the smoke test, and then return the middle tier environment to the normal state of balancing between databases.
This lets you upgrade with 0 downtime. But you've got to license another primary database. And configure Streams. And write the replication code to propagate the changes on B during the time you're smoke testing A. And you need the middle tier infrastructure in place. And you're obviously going to be involving more admins than you would for a simpler deploy where you take things down, reboot, and bring things up. The test plan becomes more complicated as well since you need to practice this sort of thing in lower environments.

Best for making event flyers: InDesign or Illustrator?

Hi everyone, I am new here. I am a novice with Adobe products, but I do have the Creative Suite. I have used Illustrator tons and am very comfortable with it. I used InDesign once to make a pamphlet.
I am part of a charity group that often puts on events. I will be making all the flyers. Printing budget is low and will probably consist of going to Kinkos and printing on A4 paper. So these flyers are really not all that involved, but I want to make them the very best that they can be.
Now my question. Is it better to use InDesign or Illustrator to make the flyers?
And as a bonus, if you know of any sites that might give me inspiration to make flyers, I would appreciate it! I try to keep my eyes peeled and learn new things all the time. I want to give credibility to our group with the flyers, and I dont want them to look cheesy or home-made. Thanks for any tips you might have!

This exact question came up at work today. The person in question was
ordering ID, but it was on the only program available for content
creation for flyers, posters, and all artwork. I suggested that if only
one program for artwork, posters, and flyers, I'd go with Illy. However,
if I had my choice I'd go with the Design Standard package, since there
are uses for Illy, PS, and ID (and of course Acrobat). In the end we
will try to get the package, but the choice if ID or Illy depends upon
not only what you need to do, but what other tools are available to help
you out.
I'd hate to do multi-page documents in Illy (or PS), but I'd also hate
making ID my sole artwork program as well.

Best practice MPLS design/configuration for small service provider

We are a small regional service provider and did not have MPLS supported on our network. To start supporting MPLS, I’d like to get opinions and recommendations on the best practice configuration.
Here is what we have today –
We have our own BGP AS and multiple /24s.
We are running OSPF on the Cores and BGP on the Edge routers peering with ISPs.
We peer with multiple tier-1 ISPs for internet traffic. We do not provide public transit.
What we want for phase one MPLS implementation –
Configure basic MPLS /vpn functionality.
No QoS optimization required for phase 1.
We have Cisco ME 3600X for PE. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Not sure what kind of devices or routers you have in your network but looks for if you have support for labeled multicast for MVPN support. That will avoid other complexity of using other control protocols (like PIM) in core.
PE redundancy can be obtained by BGP attributes, CE-PE connectivity can be tunned using IGP or VRRP/HSRP...
You can have mutiple RSVP TEs for various contract traffic and you can bind various kind of traffic to different RSVP Tunnels based on contract or service with your customer.
RSVP-TE with link/node protection design will be of great help to achieve quicker failover.

Best practice to define length for varchar field of table in sql server

What is best practice to define length for a varchar field in table
where field suppose Remarks By Person varchar(max) or varchar(4000)
Could it affect on optimization in future????
experts Reply Must ...
Dilip Patil..

Hi Dilip,
Varchar(n/max) is a variable-length, non-unicode character data. N defines the string length and can be a value from 1 through 8,000. Max indicates that the maximum storage size is 2^31-1 bytes (2 GB). The storage size is the actual length of the data entered
+ 2 bytes. We always use varchar when the sizes of the column data entries vary considerably. While if the filed data size might exceed 8,000 bytes in some way, we should use varchar(max).
So the conclusion is just like Uri said, use varchar(max) or varchar(4000) is depends on how much characters we are going to store.
The following document about varchar in SQL Server is for your reference:

Best practice for application module for scalability

if i compare application module with forms 6i runtime session.(correct me if i wrong)
In forms 6i, we create for single form for purchase entry. in which we select table like po , po_item, item_master, customer master
also single form for sales entry. in which we select table like sales , sales_item, item_master, customer master, po , po_item
So my question is. in jdeveloper , we planning to make separate jsp page and applicaiton module for purchase entry,
separare jsp page and application module for sales.
is it ok.
or
what is the best practice in this senario.?? ( or in scalability senario)
if i made one single application module for whole application (let say 300 entity's(tables)) will performance of my app server degrade.

Best practice for Web Dynpro for Java to connect to SAP HR

What is best way to connect Web Dynpro for Java application deployed in SAP portal to connect to SAP HR ?
Is it good practice to connect to underlying SAP database ( eg oracle) directly to get the data or is there a better way ?
This below article describes to connect to external DB, however Is there any other way for SAP HR ?
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDJava/WebDynproApplciationwithDatabaseMS+Access

Hi,
There are 2 supported ways :
First is to use JCO connections to call abap RFC enabled function modules. (BAPIs for example)
Second is to call SOAP web services (HR enterprise services for example)
You should never access directly database tables...

Best practice for licence server for RDS Farm & Certificate errors

Hello,
I am in the process of creating an RDS farm using Server 2008 R2. I have three Session Hosts and a Connection Broker.
I have a set of 10 user CALs available and also another 20 on our current RDS server which will need migrating once we go live with the farm.
I understand the User CALs need to be installed on another Server 2008 R2 and I am wondering what is best practice. We are running on an entirely virtual environment and it would be simple enough to create another server and install the CALs on there.
The only issue with that is that I would need to create a replica of this new machine for DR purposes, but this would take up valuable space which may not be necessary.
We are planning on creating replicas of one of the Session hosts and the broker for DR, so I am guessing I would need to install some CALs on the Session Host which is going to be replicated.
There are a few options and I am just wondering what is the best way to go about things.
Also, as an aside, I am getting an annoying certificate error each time I log a test user onto the RDS farm - I think this is because I am using the DNS alias of the RDS Farm to log on. Is there an easy way to get around this, other than the 'Do not show
this message again'. I have been doing some research and the world of Certificates is very confusing!!
Thanks,
Caroline
C.Rafferty

Hi Caroline,
Firstly for your License related issue, you can perform the step on any VM or can create the new VM as replica for RDSH server also. But please be sure that you have installed RD License server on it, activate it and then install RDS CAL on it. But be safe
if possible don’t install RD License server with RDCB, please make that out of it as little away. As you can also install RD License server with AD or make replica of that and install RDL on that.
