Best practice for large form input data.

I'm developing an HIE system with FLEX. I'm looking for a strategy, and management layout for pretty close to 20-30 TextInput/Combobox/Grid controls.
What is the best way to present this in FLEX without a lot of cluter, and a given panel being way too large and unweildy.
The options that I have come up with so far.
1) Use lots of Tabs combined with lots of accordions, and split panes.
2) Use popup windows
3) Use panels that appear, capture the data, then, make the panel go away.
I'm shying away from the popup windows, as, that strategy ALWAYS result in performance issues.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

In general the Flex navigator containers are the way to go. ViewStack is probably the most versatile, though TabNavigator and Accordion are good. It all depends on your assumed workflow.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

Best practice for Plan and actual data

Hello, what is the best practice for Plan and actual data? should they both be in the same app or different?
Thanks.

Hi Zack,
It will be easier for you to maintain the data in a single application. Every application needs to have the category dimension, mandatorily. So, you can use this dimension to maintain the actual and plan data.
Hope this helps.

Best practices for deploying forms in a 'cluster'?

Anyone know of any public docs that discuss typical best practices for
- forms deployment;
- forms apps management and version control; and/or
- deploying (and keeping) the .frm/frx in sync when using multiple forms servers in a HA or load balancing envrionment?

Hi adil,
Based on your description, you want to know the best practices for search service in a SharePoint farm.
Different farms have different search topologies, for the best search performance, I recommend that you follow the guidance for small, medium, and large farms.
The article is about the guidance for different farms.
Search service can run with other services in the same server, if condition permits and you want to have better performance for search service and other services including BI performance, you can deploy search service in dedicated server.
If condition permits, I recommend combining a query component with a front-end Web server to avoid putting crawl components and query components on the same serve.
In your SharePoint farm, you can deploy the query components in a WFE server and the crawl components in an application server.
The articles below describe the best practices for enterprise search.

Best Practices for converting SAP HR data (4.7 to ECC)

Hello Experts ...
We are going from 4.6 to ECC ... no upgrade ..it will be a new implementation ...
I am looking for best practices to convert SAP HR data from one sap instance(4.6) to another(ECC) ...
I am not sure if direct input or LSMW or any other method/tool is the best way ...
Will really appreciate and award point if I can get good advise or documentation ...
Let me know if my question is not clear enough.
Thanks,

Hi
You can check SAP Marketplace and there follow the download link. You will require a SAP Marketplace login to download the Best Practices. Fortunately Best practices for ECC 5.00 and 6.00 are available there but they are country specific versions. I know HCM for US is available there.
Reward points, if helpful.

Best practice for phone number column data type

Hi,
I hope I have posted this in the right forum, if not just notify me and i will remove it to the correct area.
What would be considered best practice for storing a phone number.
Number of Varchar2.
Ben

Well I was thinking that Number would have the following disadvantages,
1. Users entering phone numbers into a form may be tempted to pre format with spaces, thereby throwing up an error.
2. Mobile phone numbers may have leading zeros
3. Calculations are not carried out on phone numbers.
I was leaning towards a varchar2 type.

In the Begining it's Flat Files - Best Practice for Getting Flat File Data

I probably should have posed this question here before I delved into writing Java to get data for reports, but better late than never.
Our ERP is written in COBOL. We have a third party ODBC which allows us to access data using a version of SQL. I have several Java sources compiled in my database that access the data and return something relevant. The Java sources are written in a procedural style rather than taking advantage of object oriented programming with attributes and methods.
Now that I am becoming more comfortable with the Java language, I would greatly appreciate any feedback as to best practices for incorporating Java into my database.
My guess is that it would be helpful to model the ERP "tables" with Java classes that would have attributes, which correspond to the fields, and methods to return the attributes in an appropriate way. Does that sound reasonable? If so, is there a way to automate the task of modeling the tables? If not reasonable, what would you recommend?
Thanks,
Gregory

OO is a choice not a mandate. Using Java in a procedural way is certainly not ideal but given that it is existing code I would look more into whether is well written procedural code rather than looking at the lack of OO.

You then implement using whatever means seem expedient in terms of other business constraints to closely model that data model.
It is often the case that there is a strong correlation between data models and tables but certainly in my experience it is rare when there are not other needs driven by the data model (such as how foreign keys and link tables are implemented and used.)

Best practice for including additional DLLs/data files with plug-in

Hi,
Let's say I'm writing a plug-in which calls code in additional DLLs, and I want to ship these DLLs as part of the plug-in. I'd like to know what is considered "best practice" in terms of whether this is ok (assuming of course that the un-installer is set up to remove them correctly), and if so, where is the best place to put the DLLs.
Is it considered ok at all to ship additional DLLs, or should I try and statically link everything?
If it's ok to ship additional DLLs, should I install them in the same folder as the plug-in DLL (e.g. the .8BF or whatever), in a subfolder of the plug-in folder or somewhere else?
(I have the same question about shipping additional files too, such as data or resource files.)
Thanks

Best Practices for Accessing the Configuration data Modelled as XML File in

Hi,
I refer the couple of blof posts/Forum threads on How to model and access the Configuration data as XML inside OSB.
One of the easiest and way is to
Re: OSB: What is best practice for reading configuration information
Another could be
Uploading XML data as .xq file (Creating .xq file copy paste all the Configuration as XML )
I need expert answers for following.
1] I have .xsd file which is representing the Configuration data. Structure of XSD is
<FrameworkConfig>
<Config type="common" key="someKey">proprtyvalue</Config>
<FrameworkConfig>
2] As my project will move from one env to another the property-value will change according to the Environment...
For Dev:
<FrameworkConfig>
<Config type="common" key="someKey">proprtyvalue_Dev</Config>
<FrameworkConfig>
For Stage :
<FrameworkConfig>
<Config type="common" key="someKey">proprtyvalue_Stage</Config>
<FrameworkConfig>
3] Let say I create the following Folder structure to store the Configuration file specific for dev/stage/prod instance
OSB Project Folder
|
|---Dev
|
|--Dev_Config_file.xml
|
|---Stage
|
|--Stahe_Config_file.xml
|
|---Prod
|
|-Prod_Config_file.xml
4] I need a way to load these property file as xml element/variable inside OSb message flow.?? I can't use XPath function fn:doc("URL") coz I don't know exact path of XMl on deployed server.
5] Also I need to lookup/model the value which will specify the current server type(Dev/Stage/prod) on which OSB MF is running. Let say any construct which will act as a Global configuration and can be acccessible inside the OSb message flow. If I get the vaalue for the Global variable as Dev means I will load the xml config file under the Dev Directory @runtime containing key value pair for Dev environment.
6] This Re: OSB: What is best practice for reading configuration information
suggest the designing of the web application which will serve the xml file over the http protocol and getting the contents into variable (which in turn can be used in OSB message flow). Can we address this problem without creating the extra Project and adding the Dependencies? I read configuration file approach too..but the sample configuration file doesn't show entry of .xml file as resources
Hope I am clear...I really appreciate your comments and suggestion..

If you can enforce some sort of naming convention for the transport endpoint for this proxy service across the environments, where the environment name is part of the endpoint you may able to retrieve it from $inbound in the message pipeline.
eg. http://osb_host/service/prod/service1 ==> Prod and http://osb_host/service/prod/service2 ==> stage , then i think $inbound/ctx:transport/ctx:uri can give you /service/prod/service1 or /service/stage/service1 and applying appropriate xpath functions you will be able to extract the environment name.
Chk this link for details on $inbound/ctx:transport : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/userguide/context.html#wp1080822

Data Model best Practices for Large Data Models

We are currently rolling out Hyperion IR 11.1.x and are trying to establish best practces for BQYs and how to display these models to our end users.
So far, we have created an OCE file that limits the selectable tables to only those that are within the model.
Then, we created a BQY that brings in the tables to a data model, created metatopics for the main tables and integrated the descriptions via lookups in the meta topics.
This seems to be ok, however, anytime I try to add items to a query, as soon as i add columns from different tables, the app freezes up, hogs a bunch of memory and then closes itself.
Obviously, this isnt' acceptable to be given to our end users like this, so i'm asking for suggestions.
Are there settings I can change to get around this memory sucking issue? Do I need to use a smaller model?
and in general, how are you all deploying this tool to your users? Our users are accustomed to a pre built data model so they can just click and add the fields they want and hit submit. How do I get close to that ideal with this tool?
thanks for any help/advice.

I answered my own question. in the case of the large data model, the tool by default was attempting to calculate every possible join path to get from Table A to Table B (even though there is a direct join between them).
in the data model options, I changed the join setting to use the join path with the least number of topics. This skipped the extraneous steps and allowed me to proceed as normal.
hope this helps anyone else who may bump into this issue.

Best practice for having separate clone data for development purposes?

Hi
I am on a hosted Apex environment
I have a workspace containing two instances/ copies of the application: DEV and PROD
I would like to be able to develop functionality and data in/ with the DEV instance and then insert it into DEV.
I gather that I can insert pages from DEV to PROD via Create -> New page as copy -> Page in another application
But I don't know how I can mimic this process with database objects, eg. if I want to create a new table or manipulate the data in an existing table in a DEV environment before implementing in a PROD environment.
Ideally this would be done in such a way that minimises changing table names etc when elevating pages from DEV to PROD.
Would it be possible to create a clone schema that could contain the same tables (with the same names) as PROD?
Any tips, best practices appreciated :)
Thanks

Hi,
ideally you should have a little more separation between your dev and prod environments. At the minimum you should have separate workspaces each addressing separate schemas. Apex can be a little difficult if you want to move individual Apex application objects, such as pages, between applications (a much requested improvement), but this can be overcome by exporting and importing the whole application. You should also have some form of version control/backup of export files.
As far as database objects go, tables etc, if you have tns access to your hosted environment, then you can use SQL Developer to develop, maintain and synchronize between your development and production schemas and objects in the different environments should have identical names. If you don't have that access, then you can use the Apex SQL Workshop features, but these are a little more cumbersome than a tool like SQL Developer. Once again, scripts for creating and upgrading your database schemas should be kept under some sort of version control.
All of this is supposing your hosting solution allows more than one workspace and schema, if not you may have to incur the cost of a second environment. One other option would be to do your development locally in an instance of Oracle XE, ensuring you don't have any version conflicts between the different database object features and the Apex version.
I hope this helps.

Andre

Best Practice for Significant Amounts of Data

This is basically a best-practice/concept question and it spans both Xcelsius & Excel functions:
I am working on a dashboard for the US Military to report on some basic financial transactions that happen on bases around the globe. These transactions fall into four categories, so my aggregation is as follows:
Year,Month,Country,Base,Category (data is Transaction Count and Total Amount)
This is a rather high level of aggregation, and it takes about 20 million transactions and aggregates them into about 6000 rows of data for a two year period.
I would like to allow the users to select a Category and a country and see a chart which summarizes transactions for that country ( X-axis for Month, Y-axis Transaction Count or Amount ). I would like each series on this chart to represent a Base.
My problem is that 6000 rows still appears to be too many rows for an Xcelsius dashboard to handle. I have followed the Concatenated Key approach and used SUMIF to populate a matrix with the data for use in the Chart. This matrix would have Bases for row headings (only those within the selected country) and the Column Headings would be Month. The data would be COUNT. (I also need the same matrix with Dollar Amounts as the data).
In Excel this matrix works fine and seems to be very fast. The problem is with Xcelsius. I have imported the Spreadsheet, but have NOT even created the chart yet and Xcelsius is CHOKING (and crashing). I changed Max Rows to 7000 to accommodate the data. I placed a simple combo box and a grid on the Canvas u2013 BUT NO CHART yet u2013 and the dashboard takes forever to generate and is REALLY slow to react to a simple change in the Combo Box.
So, I guess this brings up a few questions:
1)     Am I doing something wrong and did I miss something that would prevent this problem?
2)     If this is standard Xcelsius behavior, what are the Best Practices to solve the problem?
a.     Do I have to create 50 different Data Ranges in order to improve performance (i.e. Each Country-Category would have a separate range)?
b.     Would it even work if it had that many data ranges in it?
c.     Do you aggregate it as a crosstab (Months as Column headings) and insert that crosstabbed data into Excel.
d.     Other ideas that Iu2019m missing?
FYI: These dashboards will be exported to PDF and distributed. They will not be connected to a server or data source.
Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Best practices for administering Oracle Big Data Appliance

-        Best practices as part of administration of Oracle Big Data Infrastructure
-        How do we lock down max space usage per project
Eg: Project team A can have a max limit of 10 TB space allocated
-        Restricting roles, access ( Read, Write), place holder for common shared artifacts
-        Template/procedure for code migration across dev,qa and prod environments etc

Your data is bigger than I run, but what I have done in the past is to restrict their accounts to a separate datafile and limit its size to the max that I want for them to use: create objects restricted to accommodate the location.

SolMan CTS+ Best Practices for large WDP Java .SCA files

As I know, CTS+ allows ABAP change management to steward non-ABAP objects. With ABAP changes, if you have an issue in QA, you simply create a new Transport and correct the issue, eventually moving both transports to Production (assuming no use of ToC).
We use ChaRM with CTS+ extensively to transport .SCA files created from NWDI. Some .SCA files can be very large: +300MB. Therefore, if we have an issue with a Java WDP application in QA, I assume we are supposed is to create a second Transport, attach a new .SCA file, and move it to QA. Eventually, this means moving both Transports (same ChaRM Document) to Production, each one having 300 MB files. Is this SAP's best practice, since all Transports should go to Production? We've seen some issues with Production not being to happy with deploying two 300MB files in a row. What about the fact that .SCA files from the same NWDI track are cumulative, so I truly only need the newest one. Any advice?
FYI - SAP said this was a consulting question and therefore could not address this in my OSS incident.
Thanks,
David

Best practices for large ADF projects?

I've heard mention (for example, ADF Large Projects of documentation about dealing with large ADF projects. Where exactly is this documentation? I'm interested in questions like whether Fusion web applications can have more than one ViewController project (different names, of course), more than one Model project, the best way to break up applications for ease of maintenance, etc. Thanks.
Mark

I'd like to mention something:
Better have unix machines for your development.
Have at least 3 GB of RAM on windows machines.
Create all your commonly used LOVs & VOs first.
If you use web services extensively, create it as a seperate app.
Make use of popups, it's very user friendly and fast too. You no need to deal with browser back button.
If you want to use common page template, create it at the beginning. It's very difficult if you want to apply it later after you developed pages.
Use declarative components for commonly used forms like address, etc.
Search the forum, you will see couple of good util classes.
When you check-in the code, watch out some of the files don't show up in JDev like connections.xml
Make use of this forum, you will get answers immediately from great experts.

Best practice for making form read-only at certain steps in process?

I have a process with a single form and 4 Assign Task operations. During Assign Task operations 1 and 3, the form is edited. During Assign Task operation 2 and 4, it should be read-only (it is reviewed and acknowledged, but not changed). There is no single criteria in the form data that indicates whether a form should be read-only or not -- this is only signaled by the step in the process. What is the best way to manage the read-only state?
Is there a way to make the form read-only via a setting in Workbench, or should I do this via a script in the form?
Thanks!
Toby
