Best practice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?

Does anyone know the best pratice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?
Current users have Microsoft Excel 2003 with Smartview 9.3.1.2.1.003.
Computers are being upgraded to Microsoft Excel 2007.
What is the best pratice for Smartview in this situation?
1. Do nothing with Smartview and just install Excel 2007.
2. Install Excel 2007 and then uninstall and reinstall Smartview
3. Uninstall Smartview, Install Excel 2007, and then install Smartview
4. Somthing else??
Thanks!

We went with option 1 and it worked out fine. Be aware that SV processes noticeably slower in Excel 2007 than 2003. Many users were/are unhappy with the switch. We haven't tested SV v11 yet, so I'm not sure if it has improved performance with Excel 2007 or not (hopefully it does).

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 Practice for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi All,

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.

Any comments are appreciated.

Both Windows 2003 Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition are certified platforms for Oracle 10g Rel. 2.
I can see you are currently working with patchset 10.2.0.2.0. You didn't mention if you are planning to upgrade to 10.2.0.3.0 but if you are willing to do so, there are several issues reported by the oracle community, I have included verbatim transcripts from the referred sites, just to name a few:
http://www.pythian.com/blogs/356/oracle-10203-patchset-known-issues-and-bugs
Other platforms to watch out with 10.2.0.3 patchset are Windows and Linux 32 bit - Metalink Note 403616.1 “Many Child Cursors create in 10.2.0.3 on Windows and Linux”. This will likely affect applications with heavy usage of bind variables (perhaps, ones with cursor_sharing=force/similar as well) and busy OLTP is a good candidate. See for yourself the note I mentioned above - it describes some symptoms and consequences (latch contention, ORA-4031, ORA-600) pretty well. The good news is that Linux platform has one-off patch available already - patch 5705795.

Oracle 10.2.0.3 patchset is out
December 5th, 2006 - by Marc Fielding
My colleague Vamsi Chikkam noticed that the Oracle 10.2.0.3 patchset has been released for Linux and Windows 32-bit. The major bugfixes are the same as my original post with a few additions:
* Identical SQL run in different schemas may modify the wrong schema’s tables (bug 5458753)… we have run into this problem at a client site and it’s not pretty. Workarounds include qualifying schema names in SQL and one-off patches for 10.2.0.2. MetaLink note 329673.1 has more details.
* When cursors are being reloaded frequently in the shared pool, PLS-306/ORA-1722/ORA-1858 errors can occur (bug 4752541)
* Under Windows platforms, triggers referencing :NEW/:OLD using NCHAR/NVARCHAR character sets can error out (bug 5388136)
* The same issue as bug 5388136 above also causes compilation errors on 10.2.0.2 databases upgraded from previous releases under Windows(bug 5383828)

Dear All,

We are using ODI 11.1.1.6 version.
In my ODI project, we have separate installations for Dev, Test and Prod. i.e. Master repositories are not common between all the three. Now my code is ready in dev. Test environment is just installed with ODI and Master and Work repositories are created. Thats it
Now, I need to know and understand what is the simple & best way to import the code from Dev and migrate it to test environment. Can some one brief the same as a step by step procedure in 5-6 lines? If this is the 1st time you are moving to QA, better export/import complete work repositories. If it is not the 1st time then create scenario of specific packages and export/import them to QA. In case of scenario you need not to bother about model/datastores. keep in mind that the logical schema name should be same in QA as used in your DEV.
Some questions on current state.
1. Do the id's of master and work repositories in Dev and Test need to be the same?It should be different.
2. I usually see in export file a repository id with 999 and fail to understand what it is exactly. None of my master or work repositories are named with that id.It is required to ensure object uniqueness across several work repositories. For more understanding you can refer
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/integrate.1111/e12643/export_import.htm
http://odiexperts.com/odi-internal-id/
3. Logical Architecture objects and context do not have an export option. What is the suitable alternative for this?If you are exporting topology then you will get the logical connection and context details. If you are not exporting topology then you need to manually create context and other physical connection/logical connection.

Best Practices for creating reports/Dashboards from BW systems

HI Gurus,
Best Practices of creating BO Dashboards / Xcelsisus from BW systems
Prasad

You can use the BICS connector that leverages BW queries directly. It is listed in the Connection Manager as "SAP NetWeaver BW Connection". You will need both the ABAP and Java stack and SSO configured between the two. You will also need to have SAP GUI and BEx installed on the machine you are doing development on. Note that dashboards using this connection can only be hosted in NW Portal for the time being until the next release of BI 4.x platform.
Here are some links on getting started with the BICS connector:

Best practices for periodic reboot of MS Windows 2003 Server

Hi there,
We are a 4-month old v9.3.1 Essbase environment running on a 8-CPU MS Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition server and we run data loads twice daily as well as full outline restructures overnight. Data loads are executed both via SQL retrieves (ie, from a view set up on another server) and via data file loads after clearing the outline and rebuilding it.
Over time, I have noticed that the performance of the server was degrading markedly and that calculation scripts are taking longer. Funnily enough, the server's performance goes back to what I would expect it to be after a full reboot.
My questions are as follows:
1. Is it typically best practice to reboot MS Windows 2003 servers when dealing with a heavily accessed environment?
2. If yes, is it mentioned anywhere in the Essbase manuals that MS Windows servers ought to be rebooted on a periodic basis in order to perform at their optimal best?
3. Does Microsoft recommend such a practice of rebooting their servers on a periodic basis? I looked throughout their KnowledgeBase but couldn't find any mention of this fact in spite of the fact that it is obvious that a periodic reboot boosts the performance of MS Windows servers.
Thanks in advance for your responses/recommendations

A bit of non essential additional info:
We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services over to the new infrastructure . We are planning on rolling out
2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
We have read these and others:
Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100),
Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.
Again, thanks for any information, best practices, cookie cutter or otherwise that you can share.

Symantec antivirus Best practice for oracle database on windows server 2003

Hi all,
I have an oracle database server on windows server 2003 platform of version 10.2.0.4. what would be best practice of running symantec antivirus on that server as well as database file exclusions from scanning them.
My server had rebooted unexpectedly for many times. in event log i have id as 6008. what may be cause of it..?

Normally, you don't run a virus scanner on a database server because your database server isn't vulnerable to viruses. It's behind firewalls, people aren't reading mail on it, people aren't plugging thumb drives into it, etc. If you do decide that you need to run a virus scanner on a database server, at least exclude the Oracle data files from the scan. Oracle gets very unhappy if someone else tries to open its data files (or, worse, if someone opens a data file before it gets the chance to acquire exclusive access).

"This field name is not known" error when upgrading from VS 2003 to VS 2005

When we upgraded our web servers from VS 2003 to 2005, our crystal reports web viewer began having a problem with reports that contained sub-reports. We now are getting the following error on the web page. The reports were developed in Crystal 10, but I upgraded them to Crystal 11 but still recieved the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
This field name is not known. Error in File C:\DOCUME1\DMDEVB1\ASPNET\LOCALS~1\Temp\CategorybyStateProductDist {B0FCB37B-A7DB-4786-AD69-55568EC94923}.rpt: Error in formula . '{usp_wd_RptCategoryByStateProductDist;1.State} = {?@State} ' This field name is not known.

HI Karl,
Also Try to update the database connection for the report.
You can do that by opening report in designer, then
Go To Database Menu -> Setdatasource Location
Connect to the datasource you want and update the datasource.
Save the report.
Hope this Helps !!!

Crypt acquire context failed with 0x8009000f after upgrade from sms 2003 to SCCM 2007 SP1

I've upgraded clients from SMS 2003 SP3 to SCCM 2007 SP1.
In the SCCM console some ressources are showing as not being client.
If I look on the machine, I can see that client is installed but the client cannot communicate with the management point.
CCMEXEC.log shows the following error message :
Crypt acquire context failed with 0x8009000f.
Failed to create certificate 8009000f CcmExec 21/04/2009 9:49:10 1948 (0x079C)
CCMDoCertificateMaintenance() failed (0x8009000f).
So, the issue is related to certificate
If I go to C:\documents and settings\all users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys and delete the file begining by 19c5cf... and then restart the client the problem is solved.
Can someone explain what is happening ?
What can I do to prevent this problem
Kind regards

In Server 2008 R2 SP1 (when Pushing Out SCCM 2012 clients)
I just added another account to the security (local Administrators) for the key which starts with 19c5cf...
and restarted the SMS AGENT HOST SERVICE.
Thats also resolved the problem. (NETWORK was the only security account on the key file).

"Best practice" for accessing a class from a custom component?

My app utilizes a simple class to hold global properties such as username, session data, and similar data. The class is initialized at app startup via code similar to: appGlobals:myGlobals=new myGlobals.
Many of the custom MXML components and AS classes need to access that data. I have been able to work with it using Application.application.appGlobals.propertyname.
Is this method the best way to communicate from components and classes to a class initiated at the application level, or should I learn something new before I build a lot of code on this method?
Thanks.
Paul

The WizardModel class is interesting, it is a "singleton" where it is designed to only have one instance, and the class actually has a static variable of its own class. Because that variable is static, an instance is created the first time the class is accessed.
As to where the WizardModel is "first accessed" and thus its own variable of type WizardModel instantiated, is hard to say, as you really need to understand the application and component startup lifecycle indepth. I have a certain depth of knowledge of that but not enough depth to say definitively when WizardModel is first accessed, but here are some possibilities:
WizardModel.wizardTitle = WizardModel.wizardTitleBase;      In the WizardController "wizardTitleChangeHandler" event handler
creationComplete="WizardModel.app = this;"      In the Wizard.mxml main app creationComplete handler
<mx:Panel title="{WizardModel.wizardTitle}" width="100%" height="100%">    Opening tag of Panel in Wizard.mxml
I know its confusing, but just try to absorb what you can for now, and over time it will become gradually more clear.

Best Practice for DHCP when Anchoring to a Guest Wireless LAN Controller

Hi all,
I'm interested in the communities opinion in relation to DHCP provisioning when using auto-anchor/guest tunneling.
As far as I can tell, one cannot use the internal DHCP on the anchor controller when using auto-anchor due to incompatibility between the auto-anchor feature and DHCP Option 82.
The scenario is as follows:
Guest controller is the anchor which provides Internet access to guests.
There is a foreign controller which is configured to anchor to the guest controller.
The internal DHCP server is configured on the guest anchor controller, therefore DHCP proxy must be enabled for DHCP to work.
DHCP proxy enables Option 82.
The guidlines for guest tunneling state that DHCP Option 82 isn't supported. (Ref: Deploying and Troubleshooting Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers - Ch14)
So, the internal DHCP server requires DHCP proxy to be enabled; this in turn enables Option 82, which stops DHCP leases being made to clients connected to the foreign controller.
Given that a guest WLC would normally be placed in a DMZ, the internal DHCP server may often be the only DHCP solution available.
I look forward to hearing your opinions.
Thanks
Rhodri Jenkins

There are a couple of options here if you need to get proxy disabled
1) pinhole with an ACL that allows dhcp to pass your internal servers
2) run dhcp on a switch, router, or firewall in the dmz
3) if you are using a cab,e modem or dsl for the guest users, you can let that do the dhcp
In general I've seen most of these in play, but I like option 2 myself
