Best practice for upgrading task definition without deleting task instances

best practice for upgrading task definition in production system without deleting or terminating task instances
If I try and update a task definition with task instances running I get the following error:
Task definition 'My Task - Add User' may not be modified while there are active task instances
Is there a best practice to handle this. I tried to force an update through the console but that didn't work. I tried editing the task from the debug page and got the same error.

1) Rename the original task definition.
2) Upload the new task definition with the original name.
3) Later, after all the running tasks have timed out, delete the old definition.
E.g., if your task definition is "myWorkflow":
1) Rename "myWorkflow" to "myWorkflow-old-2009-07-28"
2) Upload the new task definition as "myWorkflow".
Existing tasks will stay linked to the original (renamed) workflow definition.
New tasks will use the new definition.
As the previous poster notes, depending on the changes you are making, letting the old task definitions stay active could have bad side-effects and might be better avoided.

The best way for upgrade purposes is to use the rename function of the TaskDefinition from the lh command line utility.
Basically renames all current task instances with the TaskDefinition name. You can then alter the existing TaskDefinition and upload into identity manager.

Best Practice for upgrading to 11.1.1.3

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is the best practice to upgrade FMW to 11.1.1.3...
I followed the following steps to set up FMW 11.1.1.3.
1. Oracle Enterprise edition Database 10.2.0.1 and applied 10.2.0.4 patch
2. Installed RCU 11.1.1.3
3. Installed Weblogic server 10.3.3 (11gR1)
4. Installed Soa Suite 11.1.1.2 and applied patch for 11.1.1.3
Is this the right way of installation or do i have to install 11.1.1.2 first f and then install 11.1.1.3..
Regards,
Sundar

Yes, that seems to be fine.

Best practice for upgrading from ADS 9.1 to ADS 11

So we will need start upgrading installs from Advantage Database Server (ADS) version 9 to ADS version 11. Is there a set of best practices? Certain procedures? How do we gracefully fall back if it doesn't work? Does anyone have experience with the dual install setup of ADS 9 and ADS 11? Did anyone else run into any issues with this upgrade path?
Thanks in advance!
Rodney

Rodney,
My first recommendation is to read the "Effects of Upgrading" section of the help file. I put the links below.
Effects of Upgrading to Version 10
Effects of Upgrading to Version 11
Effects of Upgrading to Version 11.1
The server will always work with an older client so I would recommend upgrading the server and testing it with your current application. The next step would be to upgrade the client and re-compile your application. I wouldn't anticipate any issues other than those outlined in the effects of upgrading.
You can install multiple instances of Advantage, beginning with version 10, on the same machine. Keep in mind that only one instance, the first one installed, will be discoverable. To connect to other instances you will need to use <IP Address>:<Port> in the connection string. Details on installing additional instances of Advantage are here

Best practice for upgrading an old system?

My Archlinux installation seems to have been upgraded over three years ago for the last time. Today, a naive pacman -Syu resulted in a number of file conflict errors and wasn't carried out.
I then checked the list of announcements since 2011 and identified a few that included the string "manual intervention required". I believe that it was the update of the "filesystems" package that didn't work, again due to conflicts, probably related to the move from /lib to /usr/lib around that time.
My attempt to update glibc resulted in misconfigured libraries, which took a while to sort out. While I can run commands again, I doubt that my system is in a very healthy state now.
What should I do, what should I have done to update my Archlinux installation, untouched for 3.5 years?

Well, I asked the question because nothing worked after following a few of those "manual intervention required" notes. More precisely, the result of the last pacman was that literally no command worked. It turned out that the system didn't find libraries anymore, in particular the loader ld-linux.so. It took me a while to figure this out and to patch the system up enough to have it limp along. Good learning, by the way.
After that and the suggestion in this forum that a reinstall was the best solution anyway I did just that. Since my only applications were Samba and the acpi daemon, that was not too bad. Unfortunately it's not Archlinux anymore, but Centos, which I am simply more familiar with.

Best Practice for Upgrade in FPN-Landscape

Hi there,
we have already implemented a consumerportal with two producerportals.
Now we want to upgrade our consumerportal from SPS12 to SPS15.
It´s better to disconnect the producer and reconnect these portal after upgrading again?
Or it´s not a problem to upgrade a consumerportal while producer are connected?
Same question in other way. If we upgrade a producersystem. May we disconnect these portals until the upgrade on producersystem is done and connect again?
Wait for your helpful experience :o)
Best regards
Christian

It´s better to disconnect the consumersystem from producer.
After Upgrad all is fine.

Best Practices for Upgrade UCS firmware from 2.0 to 2.2?

Hi
I have Cisco UCS system ( 2 FI, 4 Chassis with 32 Server ) running 2.0 firmware. Now I want upgrade to 2.2. When I check document "Upgrading Cisco UCS from Release 2.0 to Release 2.2", I see have 2 solution:
- 1. Upgrading from Release 2.0 with Auto Install -> Step simple but all server reboot at same time.
- 2. Manually Upgrading from Release 2.0. -> Step more complex but can upgrade server one by one.
My question:
- Can I "Upgrade the infrastructure firmware with Auto Intall but upgrade Server with Manual"?
- What is best for my case?
Thanks

Hi Phamcongtuan,
In UCS you can create host firmware policy that can be used to upgrade the firmware of your blades. Once you upgrade the infrastructure firmware, you can apply the host firmware policy to the service profiles of your blades. If you are using service profiles templates you will need to unbind the service profiles and apply the policy to the individual servers.

Best practices for upgrading Windows Server Essentials 2012 to R2?

Hi,
I need to upgrade my Windows Server Essentials 2012 on an HP microserver to Essentials R2 (specifically the R2 role on Standard rather than as a VM). After a reasonable amount of searching, I haven't found anything online that specifically addresses this in-place
upgrade scenario. Since this is already an Essentials server, it's the PDC in its own domain, etc. Has anyone that's done this upgrade have any experiences or warnings to share?
Thanks,
Sean

Hello there,
There is no upgrade path from Server 2012 Essentials to R2. R2 is not an upgrade, it is a new build. Essentials does not upgrade easily, you will want to perform a migration of the server. This will require additional hardware. You
can possibly backup the 2012 Essentials, build a temp server on workstation hardware just to do the migration from, restore the backup to the new server and then perform the migration to R2.

Best Practice for Instance

Hi
what is the best practice for weblogic in terms of creation of instance. Suppose I have 10 applications which are independent but can be grouped in 3 bunch. So whether all should go under once instance or more than one instance is advisable.
Thanks
Vishal

Start with 1 if you can run all 10 apps on 1 instance and your apps are not going to handle much load.
But you still have to do your homework to plan your infrastructure properly. For instance, you may need more than 1 physical server due to network topology, you may need a cluster with many instances simply due to the amount of load your applications may need to handle (or you may have strict HA requirements), you may need different domains because your apps require different versions of the app server, etc.

Best Practice for Deleted AD Users

In our environment, we are not using AD groups. Users are being added individually. We are running User Profile Service but I am aware that when a user is deleted in AD, they stay in the content database in the UserInfo table so that some metadata can be
retained (created by/modified by/etc).
What are best practices for whether or not to get rid of them from the content database(s)?
What do some of you consultants/admins out there do about this? It was brought up as a concern to me that they are still being seen in some list permissions/people picker, etc.
Thank you!

Personally I would keep them to maintain metadata consistency (Created By etc as you say). I've not had it raised as a concern anywhere I've worked.
However, there are heaps of resources online to delete such users (even in bulk via Powershell). As such, I am unaware of cases of deleting them causing major problems.

SAP Best Practice For Unicode Upgrades - NetWeaver 2004s

Team SAP,
I have a customer that is starting to plan for a Unicode upgrade. The question from the customer is as follows:
What is the SAP Best Practice for Unicode Upgrades? They will be upgrading from a BW 3.5 System to NetWeaver 2004s, and their question is ... should they:
a) Perform the Unicode Upgrade At The Same Time As Their BW 3.5 > NetWeaver 2004s Upgrade, or
b) Perform NetWeaver 2004s Upgrade first, and then at a later date, perform the Unicode Upgrade?
Thank you in advance for any guidance or counsel you may be able to offer.

Best practice for mouseless ADF applications

I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse.
So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
I am already using the accessKey functionality and subforms defaultCommand
But I have had problems setting focus to objects on a page like tables. I would like a button to return the focus to the table after it has made the command like delete.
I have implemented a solution where I have found inspiration several threads and other webpages (see below).
Is this solution okay?
Are there any problems with it?
I would also like to know if there are better pathways to go like

Hi,
I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse. So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
Well HTML (and this is the user interface you see) follows a tab index navigation that you follow with "tab" and "shift+tab". Anything else is a short cut for which you use mnemonics (as you already do) or shortcuts (explained in http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html). There is a distinction to make between non-web environments (which I think you and your users have abackground in) and client desktop environments. Browsers block some keyboard functionality for their own purpose. So you may have to find a list of keys first that work across browsers. Unlike desktop clients, which allow you to "press a button" without the button to take focus, this cannot be done on the web. So you need to be clever here, avoiding buttons at all.
The following paper is about JavaScript in ADF and explains the basics for what Chris Muir explains in : http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/1-2011-javascript-302460.pdf
It has the outline for how to register short cut keys that perform a specific action (e.g. register ctrl+d to delete the current row you are on, or press F11 to execute a query (similar to Oracle Forms frmres files)). However, be aware that this includes some code you have to write (actually quite some code to be honest).
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/79-global-template-button-strategy-360139.pdf (are there an example implementation?), or
http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
Actually these are implementations as they come with example code for you to use and customize, do they? So what is this question asking for more ? Also note that global buttons don't quite have anything in common with the question you asked. I assume you want to see it as an implementation of the Forms toolbar that operates on the form or table the focus is in. This however does not work for the web as there is nothing that keeps track of which component has a focus and to what iterator (data block) it belongs. This would involve even more coding (though possibly doable)

What are best practice for packaging and deploying j2EE apps to iAS?

We've been running a set of J2EE applications on a pair of iAS SP1b for about a year and it has been quite stable.
Recently however we have had a number of LDAP issues, particularly when registering and unregistering applications (registering ear files sometimes fails 1st time but may work 2nd time). Also We've noticed very occasionally that old versions of classes sometimes find their way onto our machines.
What is considered to be best practice in terms of packaging and deployment, specifically:
1) Packaging - using the deployTool that comes with iAS6 SP1b to package is a big manual task, especially when you have 200+ jsp files. Are people out there using this or are they scripting it with a build tool such as Ant?
2) Deploying an existing application to multiple iAS's. Are you guys unregistering old application then reregistering new application? Are you shutting down iAS whilst doing the deployment?
3) Deploying ear files can take 5 to 10 mins, is this normal?
4) In a clustered scenario where HTTPSession is shared what are the consequences of doing deployments to data stored in session?
thanks in asvance for your replies
Owen

You may want to consider upgrading your application server environment to a newer service pack. There are numerous enhancements involving the deployment tool and run time layout of your application that make clear where you're application is loading its files from.
If you've at a long running application server environment, with lots of deployments under your belt, you might start to notice slow downs in deployment and kjs start time. Generally this is due to garbage collecting in your iAS registry.
You can do several things to resolve this. The most complete solution is to reinstall the application server. This will guarantee a clean ldap registry. Of course you've got to restablish your configurations and redeploy your applications. When done, backup your application server install space with the application server and directory server off. You can use this backup to return to a known configuation at some future time.
For the second method: <B>BE CAREFUL - BACKUP FIRST</B>
There is a more exhaustive solution that involves examining your deployed components to determine the active GUIDS. You then search the NameTrans section of the registry searching for Applogic Servlet *, and Bean * entries that represent your previously deployed components but are represented in the set of deployed GUIDs. Record these older GUIDs, remove them from ClassImp and ClassDef. Finally remove the older entries from NameTrans.
Best practices for deployment depend on your particular environmental needs. Many people utilize ANT as a build tool. In later versions of the application server, complete ANT scripts are included that address compiling, assembly and deployment. Ant 1.4 includes iAS specific targets and general J2EE targets. There are iAS specific targets that can be utilized with the 1.3 version. Specialized build targets are not required however to deploy to iAS.
Newer versions of the deployment tool allow you to specify that JSPs are not to be registered automatically. This can be significant if deployment times lag. Registered JSP's however benefit more fully from the services that iAS offers.
2) In general it is better to undeploy then redeploy. However, if you know that you're not changing GUIDs, recreating an existing application with new GUIDs, or removing registered components, you may avoid the undeploy phase.
If you shut down the KJS processes during deployment you can eliminate some addition workload on the LDAP server which really gets pounded during deployment. This is because the KJS processes detect changes and do registry loads to repopulate their caches. This can happen many times during a deployment and does not provide any benefit.
3) Deploying can be a lengthy process. There have been improvements in that performance from service pack to service pack but unfortunately you wont see dramatic drops in deployment times.
One thing you can do to reduce deployment times is to understand the type of deployment. If you have not manipulated your deployment descriptors in any way, then there is no need to deploy. Simply drop your newer bits in to the run time space of the application server. In later service packs this means exploding the package (ear,war, or jar) in to the appropriate subdirectory of the APPS directory.
4) If you've changed the classes of objects that have been placed in HTTPSession, you may find that you can no longer utilize those objects. For that reason, it is suggested that objects placed in session be kept as simple as possible in order to minimize this effect. In general however, is not a good idea to change a web application during the life span of a session.

Best practice for running multiple sites on 1 CF install?

Hi-
I'm setting up a new hosting environment (Windows Server 2008 Standard 64 bit VPS configuration, MySQL, IIS 7, CF 9)
Has anyone seen any docs or can anyone suggest best practices for configuring multiple sites in this environment? At this point I'm thinking simple is best, one new site in IIS for each client (domain) and point it to CF.
Given this environment, is anyone aware of any gotchas within the setup of CF 9 on IIS 7?
Thank you in advance,
Rich

There's nothing wrong with that approach. You can run as many IIS sites as you like against a single CF install.
As for installing CF on IIS 7, I recommend that you do the following: install CF 9 without connecting it to IIS, then installing the 9.0.1 upgrade and any hotfixes, then connecting CF to IIS using the web server configuration utility. This will keep you from having to install the IIS 6 compatibility layer that's needed with CF 9 but not with CF 9.0.1.
