Best Practice for Many Complex Elements In One PNG File

I use Fireworks all the time, but I'm still embarrasingly ignorant on how to do some things property.
For instance, when I do mockups of a new customers homepage, there may be many small or medium sized complex objects on the page. By "objects" I mean like lots of modules advertising their different services, and each module has its own graphics, text, backgrounds, etc all with lots of different effects applied.
Should all of these things reside in one large png file, or does Fireworks offer some way for me to create some of these as separate png files and just drop an "instance" of them into the main file? I read something about adding files to the Common Library, but I will only need these files for one single customer so that may be overkill.
Or do I even need to worry about separating them at all and should just continue having everything for a single customer in one big single png file?
Please let me know if my question is not clear.

In reading a bit further, it looks like a good option for me might be to just select everything that makes up a specific module and just "group" it. That way I can move it around and turn it off and on easier.
So I'm thinking that unless theres something Im going to reusing more than once in a document (which in this case I'm not) then its fine to have everything all in one png? And the only time I use the Common/Document Library is when i'm reusing things?
I'm just trying to wrap my head around what all my options are in Fireworks, as so far my experience is limited to just dragging around rectangles and shapes and stuff on one single canvas to create website mockups.

Best Practice for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi All,
I would like to know what is the Best pratice for Migration of BO from One server to another.
i have Installed BO Xi R2 on my server.
Thanks,
Anendu Bothra
Edited by: Anendu Bothra on Mar 5, 2009 10:24 AM

You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
Choose Copy, then click OK.
Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
password).
When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

Best Practice for VPC Domain failover with One M2 per N7K switch and 2 sups

I Have been testing some failover scenarios with 4 nexus 7000 switches with an M2 and an F2 card in each. Each Nexus has two supervisor modules.
I have 3 VDC's Admin, F2 and M2
all ports in the M2 are in the M2 VDC and all ports on the F2 are in the F2 VDC.
All vPC's are connected on the M2 cards, configured in the M2 VDC
We have 2 Nexus representing each "site"
In one site we have a vPC domain "100"
The vPC Peer link is connected on ports E1/3 and E1/4 in Port channel 100
The peer-keepalive is configured to use the management ports. This is patched in both Sups into our 3750s. (this is will eventually be on a management out of band switch)
Please see the diagram.
There are 2 vPC's 1&2 connected at each site which represent the virtual port channels that connect back to a pair of 3750X's (the layer 2 switch icons in the diagram.)
There is also the third vPC that connects the 4 Nexus's together. (po172)
We are stretching vlan 900 across the "sites" and would like to keep spanning tree out of this as much as we can, and minimise outages based on link failures, module failures, switch failures, sup failures etc..
ONLY the management vlan (100,101) is allowed on the port-channel between the 3750's, so vlan 900 spanning tree shouldnt have to make this decision.
We are only concerned about layer two for this part of the testing.
As we are connecting the vPC peer link to only one module in each switch (a sinlge) M2 we have configured object tracking as follows:
n7k-1(config)#track 1 interface ethernet 1/1 line-protocol
n7k-1(config)#track 2 interface ethernet 1/2 line-protocol
n7k-1(config)#track 5 interface ethernet 1/5 line-protocol
track 101 list boolean OR
n7k-1(config-track)# object 1
n7k-1(config-track)# object 2
n7k-1(config-track)# object 5
n7k-1(config-track)# end
n7k-1(config)# vpc domain 101
n7k-1(config-vpc-domain)# track 101
The other site is the same, just 100 instead of 101.
We are not tracking port channel 101, not the member interfaces of this port channel as this is the peer link and apparently tracking upstream interfaces and the peer link is only necessary when you have ONE link and one module per switch.
As the interfaces we are tracking are member ports of a vPC, is this a chicken and egg scenario when seeing if these 3 interfaces are up? or is line-protocol purely layer 1 - so that the vPC isnt downing these member ports at layer 2 when it sees a local vPC domain failure, so that the track fails?
I see most people are monitoring upstream layer3 ports that connect back to a core? what about what we are doing monitoring upstream(the 3750's) & downstream layer2 (the other site) - that are part of the very vPC we are trying to protect?
We wanted all 3 of these to be down, for example if the local M2 card failed, the keepalive would send the message to the remote peer to take over.
What are the best practices here? Which objects should we be tracking? Should we also track the perr-link Port channel101?
We saw minimal outages using this design. when reloading the M2 modules, usually 1 -3 pings lost between the laptops in the diff sites across the stretched vlan. Obviously no outages when breaking any link in a vPC
Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Nick

Nick,
I was not talking about the mgmt0 interface. The vlan that you are testing will have a link blocked between the two 3750 port-channel if the root is on the nexus vPC pair.
Logically your topology is like this:
| |
| Nexus Pair |
3750-1-----------------------3750-2
Since you have this triangle setup one of the links will be in blocking state for any vlan configured on these devices.
When you are talking about vPC and L3 are you talking about L3 routing protocols or just intervaln routing.
Intervlan routing is fine. Running L3 routing protocols over the peer-link and forming an adjaceny with an router upstream using L2 links is not recommended. Teh following link should give you an idea about what I am talking here:
http://bradhedlund.com/2010/12/16/routing-over-nexus-7000-vpc-peer-link-yes-and-no/
HSRP is fine.
As mentioned tracking feature purpose is to avoid block hole of traffic. It completely depends on your network setup. Don't think you would be needing to track all the interfaces.

Best Practices for Placing Microsoft Word (doc or docx) Files?

What is the best way to place Word files into InDesign CS3?
Every time I place a Word file into InDesign, ID applies unwanted character styles and paragraph overrides to all of my text. For example, if I place a Word document with "Pal-Body" as the paragraph style, ID places the text with the *character* style "Pal-Bold" applied to all of the text, and ID applies an override to all of the paragraphs to remove the bold.
Essentially, the text almost looks correct since the paragraph override undoes the bold caused by the unwanted character style. But "almost correct" is not good enough, so I have to manually remove the override, remove the character styles, and reapply any character styles to the text that are supposed to be there.
This happens regardless of whether I select "Use InDesign Style Definition" or map the styles from Word to InDesign.
By the way, my styles in Word are exactly the same as InDesign. I saved my InDesign template as an RTF file, and then saved that as a DOT Word Template.
Also, I didn't seem to have this problem with InDesign CS2.
What is going on and how do I fix it?

There are a bunch of reasons why you might get paragraph overrides on imported text. In my case, it's because Word appends styling information for all complex & Asian text to my styles exported from ID. When I place the revised (or translated) RTF, I get paragraph overrides. I just clear 'em all at once. It almost always snaps back to the specs I set in my original ID doc.
Every once in a while, I'll get some Normal or some auto-named Word style gibberish in my ID doc; it's usually faster to go and fix the styling in Word and re-import than it is to try to fix it in ID.
What happens when you select all text and clear all overrides? If you don't get what you want, then probably new style info is being auto-generated while you work in Word. To test this: Export your RTF, and then place it again without opening it up in Word. If you don't find any paragraph overrides when you do this, then you can assume that the way you're working in Word is causing this. When I roundtrip through Word in this way, I always examine my styling before saving and placing, and there's always something to fix.
Also, you don't want "Available Styles" you want "Formatting in use." It's a dropdown at the bottom of the sidebar in Word. That will hide "Normal," if that style does not appear in your doc.

Best Practices for many Remote Objects?

Large Object Model doing JDBC over RMI
Please read the following and provide suggestions for a recommended approach or literature that covers this area well?
N-Tiered Architecture
JSP/Servlet (MVC) - Database Access Layer - Database
Applets - JSp/Servlet Engine - Database Access Layer - Database
Application Layer - Application Layer - Database Access Layer - Database
I have an object model developed using Torque (A JDBC Object Relational modeling framework) for over 100 tables (to be over 160) that I am commencing to enable over RMI. I have got several remote methods up and running. For some of the simple methods starting up has been easy. Going forward I forsee issues.
Each table has a wrapper or data object and a peer object that have setters/getters and special methods as desired. The majority of these classes are extended from Base Objects that have basic common functionality for retrieving, creating, and manipulating with a database using SQL.
I have started building a Remote Interface and an Implementation class that invoke the necessary methods and classes within the Object Model to pull successfully off or update the database. Additionally the methods will need to return objects that represent non-primitive serializable dataobjects and collections of objects.
Going forward client applications, servlets, and jsps will be using the database in more complex and comprehensive methods over rmi. Here are a couple of things I am concerned about.
1) When to use java.rmi.server.codebase for class loading? In my implementation several of the remote methods will return objects (e.g Party, Country, CountryList, AccountList). These objects themselves are composed of other objects that are not part of the jvm. For all remote methods that return non-primitive objects must you include the classes in the codebase for the client to operate upon them. Couldn't this be pointless as you have abstract and extended classes all residing within the codebase? In practice do people generally build very thin proxy objects for the peer/data objects to hold just the basic table elements and sets?
2) Server Versioning/Identity - Going forward more server classes will be enabled via rmi. Everytime one wants to include more methods on interface that is available must you update the interface, create new implementation classes, and redistribute the Remote Interface, and stubs/skels to client apps to operate on again? Is there some sort of list lookup that a client can do to say which processes are available remotely presently (not just at initialization)? As time changes more or fewer methods might be available?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

More on Why other approaches would be better?
I have implemented some proxy objects for the remote Data Objects produced by Torque. To ease the pain, I have also constructed a proxy Builder that takes the table schema and builds a Proxy Object, an inteface for the proxy, and methods to copy between the Torque Data Object (which only lives on the server) into the Proxy Object (accessible by client and/or server).
The generated methods are useable in the object implementing the Remote Interface but are themselves not remoteable. Only the Server would use these methods. Clients can only receive primitives, proxy Objects, or collections of ProxyObjects.
This seems to be fairly light currently. I had to jump hoops to use Torque and enable remote apps to use the proxy objects. What would be the scaling issues that will come up? Why would EJBs with containers and all kinds of things about such as CMP vs BMP to be concerned with be a better approach?
Methods can be updated to do several operations verses Torque and return appropriately (transactions). In this implementation the client (Servlet, mini App or App) needs the remote stub and the proxy objects (100 or so) to stand in for the Torque generated Data Objects. A much smaller and lighter set of classes, based on common JDK classes, instead of the torque classes (and necessary abstracts/objects/interfaces/exceptions for Torque).

What are the best practices for average size of an Adobe PDF file on a Web Server to be downloaded?

We know at a certain point, an extremely large file can be slow in downloading/accessing from a web site, and lessens the end-user's experience. How large is too large? What is a good average or suggested size for Adobe PDF files in general?
Thank you for any guidance.

I'm sure it varies depending on one's opinion but we have a policy that they should be under 1- 1.5MB. This isn't always posible of course. Our PDF's are mostly informational and contain little or no graphics.
I would say that it greatly depends on the PDF. If you get up over that size, you should do your best to optimize it for your users. Sometimes you can only do so much.

Best practices for handling elements and symbols (including preloading)

I am trying to learn Edge Animate and I have not seen enough animations to know how this is typically handled and I searched the forum and have not found an answer either.
If you have many different elements and symbols for a project, what is the best practice for having them appear, disappear, etc. on the timeline? I ask this question not only from a performance based perspective, but also keeping in mind the idea of preloading. This is a 2 part question:
Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:
Since artwork is always imported directly to the stage in an "always on" status, should we place a visibility OFF on every item until we need it?
or should they be opacity 0 until I need them?
or should they be set to visibility hidden until I need them?
Which of these is the best option if you don't want the element / symbol visible until later in the timeline? Does it matter?
Part 2: Impact on page loading
Does the above question have any impact upon page loading speed
or is this something handled in preloading?
or do you need to make a special preloader?
Thanks for the help.

Hi, escargo-
Good questions!
Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:
Since artwork is always imported directly to the stage in an "always on" status, should we place a visibility OFF on every item until we need it?
or should they be opacity 0 until I need them?
or should they be set to visibility hidden until I need them?
Which of these is the best option if you don't want the element / symbol visible until later in the timeline? Does it matter?
I would recommend that you set your visibility to "off" instead of simply changing the opacity. The reason I suggest this is that when your visibility is set to off, your object's hit points also disappear. If you have any type of interactivity, having the object still visible but with 0 opacity will interfere with anything you have underneath it in the display order.
Part 2: Impact on page loading
Does the above question have any impact upon page loading speed
or is this something handled in preloading?
or do you need to make a special preloader?
Thanks for the help.
No, none of this has any impact on page load. As you already noticed, all of the assets of your project will load before it displays. If you want only part of your composition to load, you may want to do what we call a multi-composition project. There's a sample of that in the Edge Animate API in the Advanced section, and plenty of posts in the forums (and one in the team's blog) explaining how to do that.

Best practice for reclassifying Cost Center/Element

Dear experts,
Currently the company I'm working for are using SA document (FB50) if there are mistakes when posting cost to Cost Center, they will DR New Cost Center and CR Old Cost Center.
However, it is seem a bit difficult to trace the changes later on. Hence, I would like to ask for opinions on what is the best practice for reclassifying cost center or cost element.
Right now, I'm planning to propose of using KB11N to reclassify cost center. Is this a good practice and easy to trace the cost movement? Is there any different with normal journal adjustment via FB50 and KB11N?
Need some advices from experts.

Hi:
Both options are viable. If you reverse posting in FB50 then FI GL account postings will also be reversed and along with cost center postings. Hence here advantage is that cost center reversal will be with referenced to the original document with which wrong posting were made. Disadvantage here is that you will to post the entry again in FB50 . In KB11N you will simply transfer cost center amount from wrong to new one that should be in place of it but here you will have no reference . I personally think reversing posting through FB50 is viable options , reverse postings can be seen in KSB1 as well against that cost center.

Best Practice for Multiple iTunes and One Account?

My wife and I share our account for our iPhone Applications and Songs in iTunes.
Can someone point me to a topic that covers a best practice for multiple iTunes syncing?
I travel a lot and keep my iPhone synced to my Macbook Pro while she uses the workstation at home to sync to. We keep the addresses and contacts and calendars synced through MobileMe, however, I'm trying to find the best way of pushing applications and songs I've bought over to the other PC so they're still around while I'm traveling for her to sync with.
Thoughts?

Hi Steve,
Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
Hope this Helps!!!
Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

Best practice for dealing with Recordsets

Hi all,
I'm wondering what is best practice for dealing with data retrieved via JDBC as Recordsets without involving third part products such as Hibernate etc. I've been told to NOT use RecordSets throughout in my applications since they are taking up resources and are expensive. I'm wondering which collection type is best to convert RecordSets into. The apps I'm building are webbased using JSPs as presentation layer, beans and servlets.
Many thanks
Erik

There is no requirement that DAO's have a direct mapping to Database Tables. One of the advantages of the DAO pattern is that the business layer isn't directly aware of the persistence layer. If the joined data is used in the business code as if it were an unnormalized table, then you might want to provide a DAO for the joined data. If the joined data provides a subsiduray object within some particular object, you might add the access method to the DAO for the outer object.
eg:
In a user permissioning system where:
1 user has many userRoles
1 role has many userRoles
1 role has many rolePermissions
1 permission has many rolePermissions
ie. there is a many to many relationship between users and roles, and between roles and permissions.
The administrator needs to be able to add and delete permissions for roles and roles for users, so the crud for the rolePermissions table is probably most useful in the RoleDAO, and the crud for the userRoles table in the UserDAO. DOA's also can call each other.
During operation the system needs to be able to get all permissions for a user at login, so the UserDAO should provide a readPermissions method that does a rather complex join across the user, userRole, rolePermission and permission tables..
Note that f the system I just described were done with LDAP, a Hierarchical database or an Object database, the userRoles and rolePermissions tables wouldn't even exist, these are RDBMS artifacts since relational databases don't understand many to many relationships. This is good reason to avoid providing DAO's that give access to those tables.

Best Practice for Servlets

I guess I'm asking for most peoples' input on what I'm planning to do here ....
Here's what I want to do, and know a bit about.
o I want to make a servlet that serves only XML.
o After that, I want to transform the XML into web pages, RSS feeds etc.. using XSLT.
Here's what I'm not so sure about...
o How should I implement the interface to the web-based aspects? Should the servlet be coded to display HTML pages on "GET" requests? Or should I use a pile of HTML files to make forms?
o What do I use to perform the XSLT transformations? Where should the set of solutions be placed relative to my servlet? Would a user then access this solution rather than the servlet itself?
o How do I code the servlet on one machine, and then test it on another without breaking the libraries? How do I set up any libraries I might have to use (like for XSLT transformations) on the server?
Any other advice here? I'm sure this is done often, but I can't find a resource that explains the best practices for it all.
I know this sounds like a lot of stupid questions. I've had lots of programs working with Java before, but I'm at a loss as to how I'm supposed to package libraries I use in my programs - moreso with a servlet. To make matters worse, I plan on using MySQL as the database.
If there's some wizard on the forums here who's willing to say more than just "RTFM" (of which there is none to answer my questions together as one), I'd be very very happy ":^)

Let me re-pose my question so as to be specific
enough to not be picked apart in my answer.
I want to FIRST AND FOREMOST, create a servlet that
serves up XML based on parameters given to it (how?
who cares.).What does "serves up XML" mean?
Let's be precise. Do you intend the servlet to send the XML back to the client? Or is the XML an intermediate step in your processing? (Yes, it matters.)
Then, I want to create interfaces (HTML, RSS,
boogledeedoo) to this XML data by having either JSP,
another servlet or insert something else here,
transform the XML into whatever the desired format
is."interface" is a loaded term in Java. What do you mean by it?
>
My assumption is that I'll make the servlet that is
capable of outputting my desired XML data and then
create another servlet that will poke it for data as
needed to transform the XML into HTML. This servlet
would also likely serve as the web site itself and
would manage user logins etc...(persistance yaddy
yadda)You're not thinking about this properly.
"yadda yadda" == muddled thinking.
My other assumption is that I'll make another servlet
that will poke the XML servlet and transform that
into RSS or anything else I can dream up.How does "poke the XML servlet" fit into the request/response protocol that is HTTP? Please explain.
-=-!REASONING!-=-
Previously, when I was working with PHP, I liked to
make scripts that would display interfaces and post
to themselves. OK, now I see. "interface" == GUI in a browser to you. Very good.
You can create a JSP that is an interface. You can have that JSP submit the HTTP POST or GET request to itself. No problem there, as long as "itself" knows what to do with the request.
It was a nice way of creating a
complete little package. Everything for one function
was encapsulated nicely under one roof. No excessive
HTML files all over the place to nurture.A simple problem, a simple solution. You can do that with a JSP.
Look. Part of my inability to describe this well is
because I DO feel like I'm in a lot of directions at
once. Or you don't understand the technology very well.
But I have to be in order to pull together
some sort of plan for myself. I understand many
concepts and have just finished studying object
oriented design etc..."Just finished"? How long did it take?
I know things about how Tomcat does connection
pooling for SQL connections.Great. Not much to understand there. It's harder to figure out how to do n-tier apps with more than one page well.
I do know how to use Google, probably a lot better
than most. But rest assured, I've yet to find a
little guide as complete as any of the "LAMP" books
there are out there. Which by the way, I have never
purchased.That's because Java Enterprise Edition isn't intended for little problems. LAMP is. Maybe the limitation is that you are used to "little" problems and not bigger ones.
If JEE seems scattered and complex, it's because it is. It encompasses more than LAMP.
I'm confident in good guidance, and not a heartfelt
smackdown. I'm still waiting for some clear suggestions.I gave you one, you just didn't know it: go read about Spring.
http://www.springframework.org
It'll help you structure complex apps from the user interface to the database in the back.
You're welcome.

Best-practice for Catalog Views ? :|

Hello community,
A best practice question:
The situtation: I have several product categories (110), several items in those categories (4000) and 300 end-users. I would like to know which is the best practice for segment the catalog. I mean, some users should only see categories 10,20 & 30. Other users only category 80, etc. The problem is how can I implement this ?
My first idea is:
1. Create 110 Procurement Catalogs (1 for every prod.category). Each catalog should contain only its product category.
2. Assign in my Org Model, in a user-level all the "catalogs" that the user should access.
Do you have any idea in order to improve this ?
Saludos desde Mexico,
Diego

Hi,
Your way of doing will work, but you'll get maintenance issues (to many catalogs, and catalog link to maintain for each user).
The other way is to built your views in CCM, and assign these views to the users, either on the roles (PFCG) or on the user (SU01). The problem is that with CCM 1.0 this is limitated, cause you'll have to assign one by one the items to each view (no dynamic or mass processes), it has been enhanced in CCM 2.0.
My advice:
-Challenge your customer about views, and try to limit the number of views, with for example strategic and non strategic
-With CCM 1.0 stick to the procurement catalogs, or implement BADIs to assign items to the views (I experienced it, it works, but is quite difficult), but with a limitated number of views
Good luck.

Best Practices For Household IOS's/Apple IDs

Greetings:
I've been searching support for best practices for sharing primarily apps, music and video among multple iOS's/Apple IDs. If there is a specific article please point me to it.
Here is my situation:
We currently have 3 iPads (2-kids, 1-dad) in the household and one iTunes account on a win computer. I previously had all iPads on single Apple ID/credit card and controlled the kids' downloads thru the Apple ID password that I kept secret. As the kids have grown older, I found myself constantly entering my password as the kids increased there interest in music/apps/video. I like this approach because all content was shared...I dislike because I was constantly asked to input password for all downloads.
So, I recently set up an individual account for them with the allowance feature at iTunes that allows them to download content on their own (I set restrictions on their iPads). Now I have 3 Apple IDs under one household.
My questions:
With the 3 Apple IDs, what is the best way to share apps,music, videos among myself and the kids? Is it multiple accounts on the computer and some sort of sharing?
Thanks in advance...

Hi Bonesaw1962,
We've had our staff and students run iOS updates OTA via Settings -> Software Update. In the past, we put a DNS block on Apple's update servers to prevent users from updating iOS (like last fall when iOS 7 was first released). By blocking mesu.apple com, the iPads weren't able to check for or install any iOS software updates. We waited until iOS 7.0.3 was released before we removed the block to mesu.apple.com at which point we told users if they wanted to update to iOS 7 they could do so OTA. We used our MDM to run reports periodically to see how many people updated to iOS 7 and how many stayed on iOS 6. As time went on, just about everyone updated on their own.
If you go this route (depending on the number of devices you have), you may want to take a look at Caching Server 2 to help with the network load https://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#caching-server . From Apple's website, "When a user on your network downloads new software from Apple, a copy is automatically stored on your server. So the next time other users on your network update or download that same software, they actually access it from inside the network."
I wish there was a way for MDMs to manage iOS updates, but unfortunately Apple hasn't made this feature available to MDM providers. I've given this feedback to our Apple SE, but haven't heard if it is being considered or not. Keeping fingers crossed.
Hope this helps. Let us know what you decide on and keep us posted on the progress. Good luck!!
