Best practice for repositories during configuration - one or several DBs?

Establishing my 11.1.2 dev box, we are in 9.3.1 in Production. Reading through documentation it states that one database is the repository for the Shared Services, Business Rules, Essbase, etc.
Since I came to this new job with 9.3.1 installed not sure if this was verbiage that is the standard from version 9.3 or this is something new for 11.1.x
So...what is the best practice? is it better to lump all foundation type activity into one DB (I realize Planning apps have their own db) or is it better to have a db for biplus, db for shared services, etc...
JTS

Here is what Oracle have to say
"For ease of deployment and simplicity, for a new installation, you can use one database for all products, which is the default when you configure all products at the same time. To use a different database for each product, perform the “Configure Database” task separately for each product. In some cases you might want to configure separate databases for products. Consider performance, roll-back procedures for a single application or product, and disaster recovery plans."
I would say in a development environment then there is no harm in using one db/schema for products, remember some products require separate databases/schemas e.g. Planning application.
In production environment I tend to promote keeping them separate as it helps with troubleshooting and recovery.

What are the best practice for CQ5.5 configuration?

Hello,
What are the best practice for CQ5.5 configuration which handle for High availability.
Last time I had a issues on server when I was uploaded 2 GB of DAM and then after that the server is not able to start and always getting error regarding Tar Persistance.
So kindly request you to please let me know what are the best apache felix configuration.
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Satish

Hi,
A DAM upload, regardless of the size of the assets, never should result in TarPM problems, unless you run into an OOM, which left the repository in an unclean state. So if you regularly do DAM uploads of that size, you should check the Garbage Collection logs and probably adjust the heapsize if necessary. You might want to limit the number of concurrent running workflows to keep the memory consumption a bit lower.
To your question: HA in a traditional sense you cannot achieve with a single box, even with optimized settings. In an author usecase you would need clustering.

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

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 if/else when one outcome results in exit [Bash]

I have a bash script with a lot of if/else constructs in the form of
if <condition>
then
<do stuff>
else
<do other stuff>
exit
fi
This could also be structured as
if ! <condition>
then
<do other stuff>
exit
fi
<do stuff>
The first one seems more structured, because it explicitly associates <do stuff> with the condition. But the second one seems more logical because it avoids explicitly making a choice (then/else) that doesn't really need to be made.
Is one of the two more in line with "best practice" from pure bash or general programming perspectives?

I'm not sure if there are 'formal' best practices, but I tend to use the latter form when (and only when) it is some sort of error checking.
Essentially, this would be when <do stuff> was more of the main purpose of the script, or at least that neighborhood of the script, while <do other stuff> was mostly cleaning up before exiting.
I suppose more generally, it could relate to the size of the code blocks. You wouldn't want a long involved <do stuff> section after which a reader would see an "else" and think 'WTF, else what?'. So, perhaps if there is a substantial disparity in the lengths of the two conditional blocks, put the short one first.
But I'm just making this all up from my own preferences and intuition.
When nested this becomes more obvious, and/or a bigger issue. Consider two scripts:
if [[ test1 ]]
then
if [[ test2 ]]
then
echo "All tests passed, continuing..."
else
echo "failed test 2"
exit
fi
else
echo "failed test 1"
fi
if [[ ! test1 ]]
then
echo "failed test 1"
exit
fi
if [[ ! test2 ]]
then
echo "failed test 2"
exit
fi
echo "passed all tests, continuing..."
This just gets far worse with deeper levels of nesting. The second seems much cleaner. In reality though I'd go even further to
[[ ! test1 ]] && echo "failed test 1" && exit
[[ ! test2 ]] && echo "failed test 2" && exit
echo "passed all tests, continuing..."
edit: added test1/test2 examples.

What is the Best Practice for A1000 LUN Configuration

I have a fully populated 12 X 18GB A1000 array, What is the optimal LUN configuration for a A1000 Array
running RAID5 in a read intensive oracle financials environment.
1. 1 (10 X 18GB + 2 X 18GB HS ) (Use format to split at OS level) - Current Setting
2. 1 (10 X 18GB + 2 X 18GB HS ) (Use RM6 to split into 3 LUNS)
3. 3 (3 X 18GB + 3 X 18GB HS )
I would like to know if option 2 or 3 will buy me anything more than 3 queues?
Thanks
F.A

Well, natural combination of dimensions connected to the fact would be a natural primary key and it would be composite.
Having an artificial PK might simplify things a bit.
Having no PK leads to a major mess. Fact should represent a business transaction, or some general event. If you're loading data you want to be able to identify the records that are processed. Also without PK if you forget to make an unique key the access to this fact table will be slow. Plus, having no PK will mean that if you want to used different tools, like Data Modeller in Jbuilder or OWB insert / update functionality it won't function, since there's no PK. Defining a PK for every table is a good practice. Not defining PK is asking for a load of problems, from performance to functionality and data quality.

Best practice for .war? Configure and deploy or deploy and configure?

In Apache Tomcat for example, I can deploy an app, stop the server, reconfigure the app in situ, then start the server again...
Is this recommended for deploying Java web apps to Oracle App Server 10g?
We currently have a consulting firm that is recommending to configure the web app before deploying. Sounds reasonable, except that they want this done via JDeveloper so that the Sys Admin can right click on the "deploy to OAS" button (ie: have the tools generate the .war file after configuration and deploy automagically).

Thanks for your feedback.
Are you aware of any way to use the *.deploy configuration file that is created by JDeveloper in an ANT script to create the .war or .ear file?
If not, I can picture the Sys Admin and developers groaning when they're told that they're JDeveloper web-app configuration cannot be used for production -- and that they must somehow duplicate that functionality in an ANT script!
I do have the below ANT scripts from Debu to do the deployment etc. But they only help after the .ear is built.
EAR file deployment:
<target name="deploy" depends="core">
<java jar="${j2ee.home}/admin.jar" fork="yes">
<arg value="${oc4j.deploy.ormi}"/>
<arg value="${oc4j.deploy.username}"/>
<arg value="${oc4j.deploy.password}"/>
<arg value="-deploy"/>
<arg value="-file"/>
<arg value="${this.build}/${this.ear}"/>
<arg value="-deploymentName"/>
<arg value="${this.application.name}"/>
</java>
</target>
Web application binding:
<target name="bind-web-app" depends="deploy">
<java jar="${j2ee.home}/admin.jar" fork="yes">
<arg value="${oc4j.deploy.ormi}"/>
<arg value="${oc4j.deploy.username}"/>
<arg value="${oc4j.deploy.password}"/>
<arg value="-bindWebApp"/>
<arg value="${this.application.name}"/>
<arg value="${this.war}"/>
<arg value="http-web-site"/>
<arg value="/${this.uri}"/>

Best practice for migration to new hardware

Hi,
We are commissioning new hardware for our Web Server. Our current webserver is version 6.1SP4, and for the new server we've decided to stay with 6.1 but install SP7.
Is there a best practice for migrating content from one physical server to another?
What configuration files should I watch out for?
Hopefully the jump from SP4 to SP7 won't cause too many problems.
Thanks,
John

unfortunately, there is no quick solution for migrating from 1 server to other. you will need to carefully reconstruct
- acl rules
- server hostname configurations
- any certificates that have been created on the old machine

Best Practices for CS6 - Multi-instance (setup, deployment and LBQ)

Hi everyone,
We recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 and migrated to a multi-instance server from a single-instance. Our current applications are .NET-based (C#, MVC) and are using SOAP to connect to the InDesign server. All in all it is working quite well.
Now that we have CS6 (multi-instance) we are looking at migrating our applications to use the LBQ features to help balance the workload on the INDS server(s). Where can I find some best practices for code deployment/configuration, etc for a .NET-based platform to talk to InDesign?
We will be using the LBQ to help with load management for sure.
Thanks for any thoughts and direction you can point me to.

Best practice for server configuration for iTunes U

Hello all, I'm completely new to iTunes U, never heard of this until now and we have zero documentation on how to set it up. I was given the task to look at best practice for setting up the server for iTunes U, and I need your help.
*My first question*: Can anyone explains to me how iTunes U works in general? My brief understanding is that you design/setup a welcome page for your school with sub categories like programs/courses, and within that you have things like lecture audio/video files and students can download/view them on iTunes. So where are these files hosted? Is it on your own server or is it on Apple's server? Where & how do you manage the content?
*2nd question:* We have two Xserve(s) sitting in our server room ready to roll, my question is what is the best method to configure them so it meets our need of "high availability in active/active mode, load balancing, and server scaling". Originally I was thinking about using a 3rd party load balancing device to meet these needs, but I was told there is no budget for it so this is not going to happen. I know there is IP Failover but one server has to sit in standby mode which is a waste. So the most likely scenario is to setup DNS round robin and put both xserves in active/active. My question now is (this maybe related to question 1), say that all the content data like audio/video files are stored by us, (We are going to link a portion of our SAN space to Xserve for storage), if we are going with DNS round robin and put the 2 servers in Active/Active mode, can both servers access a common shared network space? or is this not possible and each server must have its own storage space? And therefore I must use something like RSYNC to make sure contents on both servers are identical? Should I use XSAN or is RSYNC good enough?
Since I have no experience with iTunes U whatsoever, I hope you understand my questions, any advice and suggestion are most welcome, thanks!

wht is the Best Practice for having server pool i.e
1) having a single large serverpool consisting of "n" number of guest vm
2) having a multiple small serverpool consisting of less of number of guest vm I prefer option 1, as this gives me the greatest amount of resources available. I don't have to worry about resources in smaller pools. It also means there are more resources across the pool for HA purposes. Not sure if this is Official Best Practice, but it is a simpler configuration.
Keep in mind that a server pool should probably have up to 20 servers in it: OCFS2 starts to strain after that.

SAP Best Practices for Data Migration :repositories only on MS SQL Server ?

Hi,
I'm implementing the "SAP Best Practices for Data Migration" (see https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/bp-datamigration).
As part of the installation you have to install MS SQL Server Express Edition. The installation guide contains detailed steps to do this. All repositories for Data Services should be running on SQL Server, according to the installation guide.
The customer I'm working for now does not want to use SQL Server, but DB2, as company standard.
So I use DB2 for the local and profiler repositories.
I notice however that the web application http://localhost:8080/MigrationServices does not support DB2.The only database type you can select in the configuration area is MS SQL Server.
Is this a limitation, a by design ?

Hans,
The current release of SAP Best Practices for Data Migration, v1.32, supports only MS SQL Server. The intent when developing the DM content was to quickly set up a temporary, standardized data migration environment, using tools that are available to everyone. SQL Server Express was chosen to host the repositories, because it is easy to set up and can be downloaded for free. Sone users have successfully deployed the content on Oracle XE, but as you have found, the MigrationServices web application works only with SQL Server.
The next release, including the web app, will support SQL Server and Oracle, but not DB2.

Best Practice for SSL in Apache/WL6.0SP1 configuration?

What is the best practice for eanbling SSL in an Apache/WL6.0SP1
configuration?
Is it:
Browser to Apache: HTTPS
Apache to WL: HTTP
or
Browser to Apache: HTTPS
Apache to WL: HTTPS
The first approach seems more efficient (assuming that Apache and WL are
both in a secure datacenter), but in that case, how does WL know that the
browser requested HTTPS to begin with?
Thanks

A getScheme should return HTTPS if the client is using HTTPS or HTTP if it
is using HTTP.
The option for the plug-in to use HTTP or HTTPS when connecting to Weblogic
is up to you but regardless the scheme of the client will be passed to
WebLogic.
