Best Practice for Managing Cookies in an Enterprise Environment

We are upgrading to IE11 for our enterprise. One member of the team wants to set a group policy that will delete all cookies every time the user exits IE11. We have some websites that users access that use cookies to track progress in training,
but are deleted when the user closes the browser. What is the business best practice regarding deleting all history, temp internet files and, especially cookies when closing a browser.
If you can point me to a white paper on this topic, that would be helpful.
Thanks
Bill

Hi,
Regarding cookie settings, we could manage IE privacy settings using Administrative templates for IE 11:
Administrative templates and Internet Explorer 11
Delete and manage cookies
The Administrative templates for IE 11, we could download from here:

Hope this may help

Best Practice for Managing a BPC Environment?

My company is currently running a BPC 5.1 MS environment and will soon be upgrading to version 7.0 MS. I was wondering if there is a white paper or some guidance that anyone can give with regard to the best practice for managing a BPC environment. Which brings to light several questions in my mind:
1. Which department(s) in a company should u201Cownu201D the BPC application?
2. If both, whatu2019s SAPu2019s recommendation for segregation of duties?
3. What roles should exist within our company to manage BPC?
4. What type(s) of change control is SAPu2019s u201CBest Practiceu201D?
We are currently evaluating the best way to manage the system across multiple departments, however there is no real business ownership in the system, which seems to be counter to the reason for having BPC as a solution in the first place.
Any guidance on this would be very much appreciated.

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

Best practices for managing Movies (iPhoto, iMovie) to IPhone

I am looking for some basic recommendations best practices on managing the syncing of movies to my iPhone. Most of my movies either come from a digital camcorder into iMovie or from a digital Camera into iPhone.
Issues:
1. If I do an export or a share from iPhoto, iMovie, or QuickTime, what formats should I select. I've seem 3gp, mv4.
2. When I add a movie to iTunes, where is it stored. I've seen some folder locations like iMovie Sharing/iTunes. Can I copy them directly there or should I always add to library in iTunes?
3. If I want to get a DVD I own into a format for the iPhone, how might I do that?
Any other recommedations on best practices are welcome.
Thanks
mek

1. If you type "iphone" or "ipod" into the help feature in imovie it will tell you how.
"If you want to download and view one of your iMovie projects to your iPod or iPhone, you first need to send it to iTunes. When you send your project to iTunes, iMovie allows you to create one or more movies of different sizes, depending on the size of the original media that’s in your project. The medium-sized movie is best for viewing on your iPod or iPhone."
2. Mine appear under "movies" which is where imovie put them automatically.
3. If you mean movies purchased on DVD, then copying them is illegal and cannot be discussed here.

Best practice for managing a Windows 7 deployment with both 32-bit and 64-bit?

What is the best practice for creating and organizing deployment shares in MDT for a Windows 7 deployment that has mostly 32-bit computers, but a few 64-bit computers as well? Is it better to create a single deployment share for Windows 7 and include both
versions, or is it better to create two separate deployment shares? And what about 32-bit and 64-bit versions of applications?
I'm currently leaning towards creating two separate deployment shares, just so that I don't have to keep typing (x86) and (x64) for every application I import, as well as making it easier when choosing applications in the Lite Touch installation. But I know
each deployment share has the option to create both an x86 and x64 boot image, so that's why I am confused.

Supporting two task sequences is way easier than supporting two shares. Two shares means two boot media, or maintaining a method of directing the user to one or the other. Everything needs to be imported or configured twice. Not to mention doubling storage
space. MDT is designed to have multiple task sequences, why wouldn't you use them?
Supporting multiple task sequences can be a pain, but not bad once you get a system. Supporting app installs intelligently is a large part of that. We have one folder per app install, with a wrapper vbscript that handles OS detection. If there are separate
binaries, they are placed in x86 and x64 subfolders. Everything runs from one folder via the same command, "cscript install.vbs". So, import once, assign once, and forget it. Its the same install package we use for Altiris, and we'll be using a Powershell
version of it when we fully migrate to SCCM.
Others handle x86 and x64 apps separately, and use the MDT app details to select what platform the app is meant for. I've done that, but we have a template for the vbscript wrapper and its a standard process, I believe its easier. YMMV.
Once you get your apps into MDT, create bundles. Core build bundle, core deploy bundle, Laptop deploy bundle, etcetera. Now you don't have to assign twenty apps to both task sequences, just one bundle. When you replace one app in the bundle, all TS'es are
updated automatically. Its kind of the same mentality as active directory. Users, groups and resources = apps, bundles and task sequences.
If you have separate build and deploy shares in your lab, great. If not, separate your apps into build and deploy folders in your lab MDT share. Use a selection profile to upload only your deploy side to production. In fact I separate everything (except
drivers) into Build and deploy folders on my lab server. Don't mix build and deploy, and don't mix Lab/QA and production. I also keep a "Retired" folder. When I replace an app, TS, OS, etcetera, I move it to the retired folder and append "RETIRED - " to the
front of it so I can instantly spot it if it happens to show up somewhere it shouldn't.
To me, the biggest "weakness" of MDT is its flexibility. There's literally a dozen different ways to do everything, and there's no fences to keep you on the path. If you don't create some sort of organization for yourself, its very easy to get lost as things
get complicated. Tossing everything into one giant bucket will have you pulling your hair out.

Best Practice for FlexConnect Wireless roaming in MediaNet environment?

Hello!
Current Cisco best practice recommendations for enterprise MediaNet design, specify that VLANs be local to a switch / switch stack (i.e., to limit the scope of spanning-tree).
In the wireless world, this causes problems if you want users while roaming to keep real-time applications up and running. Every time they connect to a new AP on a different VLAN, then they will need to get a new IP address, which interrupts real-time apps.
So...best practice for LAN users causes real problems for wireless users.
I thought I'd post here in case there's a best practice for implementing wireless roaming in a routed environment that we might have missed so far!
We have a failover pair of FlexConnect 7510s, btw, configured for local switching for Internal users, and central switching with an anchor controller on the DMZ for Guest users.
Thanks,
Deb

Thanks for your replies, Stephen and JSnyder.
The situation here is that the original design engineer is no longer here, and the original design was not MediaNet-friendly, in that it had a very few /20 subnets bridged over entire large sites.
These several large sites (with a few hundred wireless users per site), are connected to an HQ location (where the 7510s in failover mode are installed) via 1G ethernet hand-offs (MPLS at the WAN provider). The 7510s are new, and are replacing older contollers at the HQ location.
The internal employee wireless users use resources both local to their site, as well as centralized resources. There are at least as many Guest wireless users per site as there are internal employee users, and the service to them consists of Internet traffic only. (When moved to the 7510s, their traffic will continue to be centrally switched and carried to an anchor controller in the DMZ.)
(1) So, going local mode seems impractical due to the sheer number of users whose traffic bound for their local site would be traversing the WAN twice. Too much bandwidth would be used. So, that implies the need to use Flex / HREAP mode instead.
(2) However, re-designing each site's IP environment for MediaNet would suggest to go routed to the closet. However, this breaks seamless roaming for users....
So, this conundrum is why I thought I'd post here, and see if there was some other cool / nifty solution I wasn't yet aware of.
The only other (possibly friendly to both needs) solution I'd thought of was to GRE tunnel a subnet from each closet to the collapsed Core / Disti switch at each site. Unfortunately, GRE tunnels are not supported in the rev of IOS on the present equipment, and so it isn't possible to try this idea.
Another "blue sky" idea I had (not for this customer, but possibly elsewhere in the future), is to use LAN switches such as 3850s that have WLC functionality built-in. I haven't yet worked with the WLC s/w available on those, but I was thinking it looks like they could be put into a mobility group, and L3 user roaming between them might then work. Do you happen to know if this might be a workable solution to the overall big-picture problem?
Thanks again for taking the time and trouble to reply!

Best practice for managing Apple ID's in an enterprise enviroment.

We have just started to incorporate iPads into our Corporate enviroment. We have had them in use for the last couple of months and to be fair they have worked well but i guess now is the time to try and workout some of the issues we are experiencing with them, the re-occuring issues that just seem to keep haunting us.
As part of the deployment we gave those with current apple id's the option of using their own, particularly those Execs who already had iPads and iPhones. We are currently using active sync with our exchange server for access to email.
How do other people manage Apple ID's?
How do other people handle the password change scenario.. we have had users on holiday where their passwords have expired and they have been unable to access the email...also the issue of you reset your password on the network but you still need to re-authenticate it on the iPad...does anyone have a decent app that can get us round this?
what issues have others found?

What is a best practice for managing a large amount of ever-changing hyperlinks?

I am moving an 80+ page printed catalog online. We need to add hyperlinks to our Learning Management System courses to each reference of a class - there are 100s of them. I'm having difficulty understanding what the best practice is for consistent results when I need to go back and edit (which we will have to do regularly).
These seem like my options:
Link the actual text - sometimes when I go back to edit the link I can't find it in InDesign but can see it's there when I open up the PDF in Acrobat
Draw an invisible box over the text and link it - this seems to work better but seems like an extra step
Do all of the linking in Acrobat
Am I missing anything?
Here is the document in case anyone wants to see it so far. For the links that are in there, I used a combination of adding the links in InDesign then perfecting them using Acrobat (removing additional links or correcting others that I couldn't see in InDesign). This part of the process gives me anxiety each month we have to make edits. Nothing seems consistent. Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

what exatly needs to be edited, the hyperlink or content or?

Best practice for management of Portal personalisation

Hi
I've been working in our sandpit client figuring out all portal personalisation and backend/frontend customisation for ESS (with some great help from SDN). However I'm not clear on what best practice is when doing this for 'real'.
I've read in places that objects to be personalised should be copied first. Elsewhere I've read about the creating of a new portal desktop for changes to the default framework page etc
What I'm not clear on is the strategy for how you manage and control all the personalisation changes. For example, if you copy an iview and personalise where do you copy it to? Do you create "Z" versions of all the folders of the standard content or something else?
Do you copy everything at the lowest possible object level and copy or highest?
Implications of applying support or enhancement packs?
We're going pretty vanilla to begin with in that there will just be a single ESS role so things should be fairly simple from that point of view, but I've trawled all around SDN without being able to find clear guidance on the overall best pratice process for personalisation.
Can anyone help?
Regards
Phil
Edited by: Phil Martin on Feb 15, 2010 6:47 PM

Hi Phil,
To keep things organized I would create an new folder (so don't use the desktop one). The new folder should sit under Portal Content. In that folder create a folder for ESS, then inside that one for iViews (e.g. COMPANY_XYZ >>> ESS >>> iViews) then copy via delta link the iViews you want from the standard SAP folders.
Then you will have to create another folder for your own roles (e.g. ESS >>> Roles). Inside this folder create a new role and add your iViews (again via delta link). Or you could just copy one of the standard SAP roles into this folder and not bother with copying the iViews. What you do depends on how many changes you intend to make, sometimes if the changes are only small it is easier to copy the entire SAP role (via delta link) and make your changes.
You should end up with something link this in your PCD:
Portal Content
     COMPANY_XYZ
          ESS
               iViews
                    iView1
                    iView2 etc..
               Roles
                    Role1
                    Role2 etc...
Then don't forget to assign your new roles to your users or groups.
Hope that makes sense.
BRgds,
Simon

Advice re best practice for managing the scan listener logs and list logs

Hi friends,
I've just started a job as a RAC dba administrator for some big 24*7 systems, I've never worked with clusterware and RAC.
2 Space problems
1) Very large listener_scan2.log in /u01/11.2.0/grid/log/diag/tnslsnr/<server name>/listener_scan2/trace folder
2) Heaps of log_nnn.xml files in /u01/11.2.0/grid/log/diag/tnslsnr/<server name>/listener_scan2/alert folder (4Gb used up)
Welcome advice on the best way to manage these in the short term (i.e. delete manually) and the recommended practice and safest way (adri maybe not sure how it works with scan listeners)
Welcome advice and commands that could be used to safely clean these up and put a robust mechanism in place for logfile management in RAC and CLusterware systems.
Finally should I be checking the log files in /u01/11.2.0/grid/log/diag/tnslsnr/<server name>/listener_scan2/alert regulalrly ?
My experience with listener logs is that they are only looked at when there are major connectivity issues and on the whole are ignored.
Thanks for your help,
Cheers, Rob

Have you had any issues that require them for investigative purposes? If not, just remove them. Are the logs required for some sort of audit process? If yes, gzip them to a location where you can use your OS tape backup policies to retain them for n-days. Once you remove an active file, it should recreate the file and continue without interruption.

Best Practice for managing variables for multiple environments

I am very new to Java WebDynPro and have a question
concerning our deployments to Sandbox, Development, QA,
and Production environments.
What is the 'best practice' that people use so that if
you have information specific to each environment you
don't hard-code it in your Java WebDynPro code.
I could put the value in a properties file, but how do I
make that variant? Otherwise I'd still have to make a
change for each environment to the property file and
re-deploy. I know there are some configurations on the
Portal but am not sure if that will work in my instance.
For example, I have a URL that varies based on my
environment. I don't want to hard-code and re-compile
for each environment. I'd prefer to get that
information on the fly by knowing which environment I'm
running in and load the appropriate URL.
So far the only thing I've found that is close to
telling me where I'm running is by using a Parameter Map
but the 'key' in the map is the URL not the value and I
suspect there's a cleaner way to get something like that.
I used Eclipse's autosense in Netweaver to discover some
of the things available in my web context.
Here's the code I used to get that map:
TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameterMap();
In the forum is an example that gets the IP address of
the site you're serving from. It sounds like it is going
to be or has been deprecated (it worked on my system
right now) and I would really rather have something like
the DNS name, not something like an IP that could change.
Here's that code:
String remoteHost = TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getWebContextAdapter().getHttpServletRequest().getRemoteHost();
Thanks in advance for any clues you can throw my way -
Greg

Hi Greg:
I suggest you that checks the "Software Change Managment Guide", in this guide you can find an explication of the best practices to work with a development infrastructure.
this is the link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/83/74c4ce0ed93b4abc6144aafaa1130f/frameset.htm
Now if you can gets the ip of your server or the name of your site you can do the next thing:
HttpServletRequest request = ((IWebContextAdapter) WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter()).getHttpServletRequest();
String server_name = request.getServerName();
String remote_address = request.getRemoteAddr()
String remote_host = request.getRemoteHost()
Only you should export the servlet.jar in your project properties > Build Path > Libraries.
Good Luck

JSF best practice for managed bean population

hi;
consider a simple session scope managed bean with 1 attribute which is calculated dynamically.
there seem to be 3 ways of populating that attribute (that i could think of):
1. have the bean's get<attribute> get the data and populate it
2. have the constructor of the bean get the data and populate it
3. have an action get the data, and set it from the action code (maybe use a valueBinding to get the bean if the bean which needs population is not the same bean that holds the action) .
option 1 seems ok for situations where i need my data to be calculated for every valueRef for that attribute but is an overhead for data that need not be calculated for every valueRef.
option 2 will ensure that te data is calculated only once per session. but it still looks kinda strange to do it
with option 3, it seems you should populate the dynamic content of the next page and its intuitive but some places in the page might be common content with dynamic data and this has nothing to do with navigation and the next page to be displayed.
is there a best practice of how to populate a managed bean data?
are different cases fit different ways?
any thoughts are appriciated.

I think it should be either Option 2 or Option 3.
Option 2 would be necessary if the bean data depends on some request parameters.
(Example: Getting customer bean for a particular customer id)
Otherwise Option 3 seems the reasonable approach.
But, I am also pondering on this issue. The above are just my initial thoughts.

Any "best practices" for managing a 1.3TB iPhoto library?

Does anyone have any "best practices" or suggestions for managing and dealing with a large iPhoto library? I currently have a 1.3 TB library. This is made up of anything shot in the past 8 years culminating with the past 2 years being 5D Mark II images. This also includes a big dose of 1080P video shot with the camera. These are only our family photos so I would hate to break up the library into years as that would really hurt a lot of iPhotos "power".
It runs fine in day to day use, but I recently tried to upgrade to iPhoto 11 and it crashes repeatedly during the upgrading library process.
(I have backups, so no worries there.)
I just know with Lion and iPhoto 9 being a bit old my upgrade day is coming and I'm not sure what my path is.

If you have both versions of iPhoto on your Mac then try the following; While running iPhoto 09 create a new, test library and import a few photos into it. Then try to convert that test library with iPhoto 11. If it converts OK then your big library is causing the problem.
If that's the case you can try rebuilding your working library as follows: make a temporary, backup copy of the library and try the following:
launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
select the options identified in the screenshot.
Click to view full size
Once rebuild try converting it to iPhoto 11.
NOTE: if you already have a backup copy of your library you don't need to make the temporary backup copy.

Best Practice for managing Groups and Users

We want to create a Corporate Portal for the Department and it's Organizations. We want to have one Portal Public page as the main entry for all our users. When a user login, he will be re-direct to is Organization Portal page.
I need to find a good document, a case study if possible, on how to define my Groups in OID to achieve this. I need a document that explain how to setup and manage Groups for a Corporate Portal.
Thank you!

Hi!
The Portal Admin Guide gives a good overview about the groups administration.
I don't know about case studies that address your problem.
When you have different home pages for different groups you can administer this with the Portal Group Profile portlet in the admin section of Portal.

Best Practices for management VLAN

Hi guys,
I have a client with a data center where they have lots of VLANs running off a 3750 (main switch) and then they have a 3550 and a 2950 running off from this main 3750.
They have lots of VLANs configured and I see that Vlan1 is not being used. Currently, all the IPs of the switches and routers belong to one of the customer Vlan's.
I've read that this is bad practice and that a management VLAN should be created. But I think I've also read that when it comes to management Vlans, one needs to stay away from Vlan1
So I am not sure how to tackle this.
any help?
thanks
