Best Practice Question - Activate Company Code - Open client or transport?

Hello.
When activating Company Codes in a newly productive system, is it best practice to do it directly in an open client, or to change the setting via transport?
Thanks and Regards,
D Flores

What do you mean by activating company code?
Is it productive check box you are talking about in OBY6.
If so, open client for manual change, make the setting and put it back the client settings.

  • Best Practices Question: How to send error message to SSHR web page.

    Best Practices Question: How to send error message to SSHR web page from custom PL\SQL procedure called by SSHR workflow.
    For the Manager Self-Service application we’ve copied various workflows which were modified to meet business needs. Part of this exercise was creating custom PL\SQL Package Procedures that would gather details on the WF using them on custom notification sent by the WF.
    What I’m looking for is if/when the PL\SQL procedure errors, how does one send an failure message back and display it on the SS Page?
    Writing information into a log or table at the database level works for trouble-shooting, but we’re looking for something that will provide the end-user with an intelligent message that the workflow has failed.
    Thanks ahead of time for your responses.
    Rich

    We have implemented the same kind of requirement long back.
    We have defined our PL/SQL procedures with two OUT parameters
    1) Result Type (S:Success, E:Error)
    2) Result Message
    In the PL/SQL procedure we always use below construct when we want to raise any message
    hr_utility.set_message(APPL_NO, 'FND_MESSAGE_NAME');
    hr_utility.raise_error;
    In Exception block we write below( in successful case we just set the p_result_flag := 'S';)
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN APP_EXCEPTION.APPLICATION_EXCEPTION THEN
    p_result_flag := 'E';
    p_result_message := hr_utility.get_message;
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    p_result_flag := 'E';
    p_result_message := hr_utility.get_message;
    fnd_message.set_name('PER','FFU10_GENERAL_ORACLE_ERROR');
    fnd_message.set_token('2',substr(sqlerrm,1,200));
    fnd_msg_pub.add;
    p_result_message := fnd_msg_pub.get_detail;
    After executing the PL/SQL in java
    We have written some thing similar to
    orclStmt.execute();
    OAExceptionUtils.checkErrors (txn);
    String resultFlag = orclStmt.getString(provide the resultflag bind no);
    if ("E".equalsIgnoreCase(resultFlag)){
    String resultMessage = orclStmt.getString(provide the resultMessage bind no);
    orclStmt.close();
    throw new OAException(resultMessage, OAException.ERROR);
    It safely shows the message to the user with all the data in the page.
    We have been using this construct for a long time for all our projects. They are all working as expected.

  • Best practice question -- copy container, assemble it, build execution plan

    So, this is a design / best practice question:
    I usually copy containers as instructed by docs
    I then set the source system parameters
    I then generate needed parameters / assemble the copied container for ALL subject areas present in the container
    I then build an execution plan JUST FOR THE 4 SUBJECT AREAS and build the execution plan and set whatever is needed before running it.
    QUESTION - When i copy the container, should i delete all not needed subject areas out of it or is it best to do this when building the execution plan? I am basically trying to simplify the container for my own sake and have the container just have few subject areas rather than wait till i build the execution plan and then focus on few subject areas.
    Your thoughts / clarifications are appreciated.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    I would suggest that you leave the subject areas and then just don't include them in the execution plan. Otherwise you have the possibility of running into the situation where you need to include another subject area in the future and you will have to go through the hassle of recreating it in your SSC.
    Regards,
    Matt

  • Best practice to run Microsoft Endpoint Protection client in VDI environment

    We are using Citrix XenDesktop VDI environment. Symantec Endpoint Protection client (VDI performance optimised) has been installed on the “streamed to the clients” virtual machine image. Basically, all the files (in golden image) have been “tattooed” with
    Symantec signature. Now, when the new VM starts, Symantec scan engine simply ignores “tattooed” files and also randomise scan times. This is a rough explanations but I hope you’ve got the idea.
    We are switching from Symantec to Microsoft Endpoint Protection and I’m looking for any information and documentation in regards best practice for running Microsoft Endpoint Protection clients in VDI environment.
     Thanks in advance.

    I see this post is a bt old but the organization I'm with has a very large VDI deployment using VMware. We also are using SCEP 2012 for the AV.
    Did you find out what you were looking for or did you elect to take a different direction?
    We install SCEP 2012 into the base image and manage the settings using GPO and the updates for defs are through the normal route.
    Our biggest challenge is getting alert message from the client.
    Thanks

  • SAP Adapter Best Practice Question for Deployment to Clustered Environment

    I have a best practices question on the iway Adapters around deployment into a clustered environment.
    According to the documentation, you are supposed to run the installer on both nodes in the cluster but configure on just the first node. See below:
    Install Oracle Application Adapters 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) on both machines.
    Configure a J2CA configuration as a database repository on the first machine.
    Perform the required changes to the ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml files before deployment.
    This makes sense to me because once you deploy the adapter rar in the next step it the appropriate rar will get staged and deployed on both nodes in the cluster.
    What is the best practice for the 3rdParty adapter directory on the second node? The installer lays it down with the adapter rar and all. Since we only configure the adapter on node 1, the directory on node 2 will remain with the default installation files/values not the configured ones. Is it best practice to copy node 1's 3rdParty directory to node 2 once configured? If we leave node 2 with the default files/values, I suspect this will lead to confusion to someone later on who is troubleshooting because it will appear it was never configured correctly.
    What do folks typically do in this situation? Obviously everything works to leave it as is, but it seems strange to have the two nodes differ.

    What is the version of operating system. If you are any OS version lower than Windows 2012 then you need to add one more voter for quorum.

  • SAP Adapter Best Practice Question for Migration of Channels

    I have a best practice question on the SAP adapter when migrating an OSB project from one environment (DEV) to another (QA).
    If my project includes an adapter channel that (e.g., Inbound SAP Proxy listening on a channel), how do I migrate that project to another environment if the channel in the target environment is different.
    I tried using the search and replace mechanism in the sbconsole, but it doesn't find the channel name in the jca and wsdl files.
    What is the recommended way to migrate from one environment to the other when the channel name changes?

  • Informatica and Essbase Best Practice questions

    We now have the Informatica adapter for Essbase installed and working. We have been able to get Informatica to upload data successfully. Now I have a few questions that I have not been able to find answers to in any documentation or forums for Informatica or Essbase. I have submitted these same questions to the Informatica Support but thought I would also post the questions here to see if many folks are using Informatica against Essbase.
    We are using:
    Informatica 8.6.1 (Linux)
    Essbase 11.1.1.3 (Windows 2003)
    1) I can see in Informtica that when we load data to Essbase (Target) it gives me the option to run a calc script AFTER it loads the data. However, if I need to run a Calc script BEFORE the load to Essbase (Target) what is the best practice? The work around I have found was to add the same session twice and for the 1st instance select the option to 'ONLY RUN THE CALC SCRIPT' on the mapping tab. The problem with this is the log shows that it will still run the query against the Source tables. This will impact run times and double to querying against the Source database. What is the Best Practice and proper way to build the workflow to Run a Calc Script BEFORE the load?
    2)Since you do not see the list of Calc Scripts for Essbase in Informatica (you have to manually type the Calc name), If I want to run the 'Default' calc for Essbase what is the syntax to run the 'Default' Calc Script? Tried 'Default' but didn't seem to work.
    3)I have other tasks in Essbase I want to do before actually having Informatica load the data. I would like to run the MAXL commands via a Command task. What is the Best Practice for doing this and the syntax to run MAXL commands in a Command Task in Informatica? I previously had Shell scripts built on the Informatica server that would be kicked off within Informatica, but we are trying to move away from shell scripts and instead have the scripting codes IN the workflows/sessions to make it easier to review the code and follow the logic, rather than having to find the scripts and open each of them.
    Any assistance you have with the two products working together I would GREATLY appreciate it!
    Robert

    AS i know addUser(User user){ ... } is much more useful for several reasons:
    1.Its object oriented
    2.its easy to write , because if Object has many parameters its very painful to write method with comma seperated parameters

  • Best Practice to configure tnsnames.ora on client of MAA environment in 10g

    Hi,
    I have a MAA environment, 1 RAC Primary of 2 nodes and 1 RAC standby of 2 nodes too. I want to configure the tnsnames.ora on clients (we have many clients on each PC) and I need to configure the tnsnames.
    I have read some papers but the information is not clear regarding to configure the tnsnames on clients. I just want to have only one entrie on tnsnames that I can use on clients to connect to RAC Primary and/or Standby depending on what site is primary in that moment, I was thinking in something like this:
    SALES.WORLD =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = site1a)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = site1b)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = site2a)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = site2b)(PORT = 1521))
    (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = sales.world)
    (FAILOVER_MODE =
    (TYPE = SELECT)
    (METHOD = BASIC)
    (RETRIES = 180)
    (DELAY = 5)
    Where site1 is RAC Primary now, and site2 is standby. But in case of switchover, I want that clients recognize automatically to which site connect.
    I was thinking to stop listeners on site that is not primary on that moment.
    The question is if this is the best practice on this scenario?.
    Thanks for your advice.
    Luis

    Hi Louis,
    you need to setup a service with clusterware. On both sides: primary and standby.
    On primary you start them. On standby the services are also configured but stopped.
    In case of switchover or failover, data guard will notice clusterware to bring them up.
    You need to use this service name in your clients tnsnames.
    Another issue are TCP timeouts, to protect against them you use
    outbount_connect_timeout in your sqlnet.ora
    Also have a look at

  • Bean best practice question

    Simple questions (hopefully), I know how to code this but just want some advice on the best way to do the following:
    1. User enters data into HTML form and submits
    2. Some Java at the backend grabs these details and emails them off somewhere
    I am thinking of doing the following, but what’s the best way?
    1. HTML form submits and data is sent directly to a JavaBean (FormBean.java)
    2. FormBean.java contains standard getters/setters but also contains a method called sendMail(), is this bad practice? Do I need a second Bean sendMail.java? Or is this completely the wrong way to do things i.e. should I do this entirely in a servlet with only 1 bean to grab the data (FormBean) and then access from servlet?
    Just a bit confused on what’s best practice for this stuff?
    Thanks!

    2. FormBean.java contains standard getters/setters but also contains a method called sendMail(), is this bad practice? Do I need a second Bean sendMail.java? A better approach is this way
    a) Have all the form data in the form bean
    b) Write sendMail in a all together different class, as action.
    c) Send the form bean as a parameter to sendMail for processing and sending an email
    This way your sendMail() will become a kind of a service. Tomorrow you might have some other data, which you will have to send it in an email. In that case, you just reuse sendMail() method. Otherwise, if you have sendMail() in form bean itself, then if there are many form beans, then you would have to write sendMail() in every form bean, which is a bad practice. One principle of OOAD is to separate the functionality, which is redundant in your classes and make it as a separate module. If there are changes to the sendMail() functionality then, by having it in one module, you only have to change it at one place.
    Or is this completely the wrong way to do things i.e. should I do this entirely in a servlet with only 1 bean to grab the data (FormBean) and then access from servlet?You can have a servlet which acts like a controller, which receives the request parameters, constructs the form bean and invokes appropriate Action (in your case sendMail()). This is same as an MVC framework. Instead of you re-inventing the wheel to create a servlet controller, form bean, action etc. You could use one of the several MVC frameworks available in the market, such as Struts or Spring MVC.

  • Best Practices: Question about Passing DataSet to Crystal through C#

    I have used the tutorial provided by Business Objects and have successfully passed a dataset from C# code to Crystal Reports.
    I have a few questions about "best pratices" though.
    It appears that when passing the dataset to crystal then you no longer have the ability to put SQL Expressions in the report anymore otherwise errors will occur.
    So, I'm trying to come up with a way to have a custom field in the SELECT statement and have it show up on the report as a field. So, in the below example I created a custom SQL field called TIMES7 in the query.
    "Select CLM_ID, CLM, PAID_111X, *(PAID111X * 7) As TIMES7*_ From WIKI.MULCRICKET WHERE CLM_ID < 5"
    If I create a formula field in Crystal and set it's value to {MULCRICKET .TIMES7} then it works like a hybrid SQL Expression at run-time.
    This does work but has issues because the database field doesn't really exist in the design environment which causes error when the formula is saved. But it does work at run-time.
    I was wondering if their was a best practice for this?

    So why are you using a formula that doesn't work? If it errors in the designer it's telling you it's not supported.
    Drop the formula into a filed and hide it if you don't want it displayed, this way it gets into the record selection formula.
    "Best Practices" is don't use formulae that won't verify in the Designer. "If it doesn't work in the designer it won't work in code"
    If you need to add an "unknown" field at run time then use RAS to insert the field.

  • Best Practices question re Windows XP & Parallels 4.0 installation

    To Apple Gurus here:
    I am a new convert from Windows to Mac. Just bought a Macbook Pro (4G/320G, 2.4Gz) and a copy of Parallels 4.0. I have an OEM copy of Windows XP Pro & Photoshop CS4 for Windows. The question before me is what sequence should I go about installing Windows & Parallels. Logically, I think I should install:
    1) Windows XP using Boot Camp first,
    2) then install PhotoShop CS3 for Windows in the Windows partition
    3) then install MS Office
    4) and finally install Parallels 4.0.
    Is this the right sequence or indeed a "Best Practices" scenario?
    Any tips for a 'Best Practice' installation will be highly appreciated.
    Also, is anyone here using the SAP GUI for Mac OS-X & Citrix Presentation Server Client for Mac OS 10.0 (now renamed XenApp)?

    First, my creds. I don't consider myself an Apple guru. I have been running a MB since last December and at that time, I installed Parallels 3.0. If I remember correctly, after installing Parallels, I installed Windows Vista, and then Office and while I was impressed to be able to run MS Office on a MB, it took what I considered to be TOO long to load and then the performance was not that great. So, mostly I've stayed on the Mac side of the operation and only loaded Parallels if I had to run some MS program.
    About a week ago I got an offer from Parallels to buy 4.0 at an upgrade price of $40. I went with the box version since it was the same price as the download version. Tonight I got my courage up to do the upgrade. I was leery because I thought I might have to reinstall all my MS stuff (Office Pro, etc.) When I put the disk in to install the program, I receive a message saying there was a later edition available with the option to download it or install the box edition. After a few minutes of thought, I decided to do the download version. I would still recommend getting the box version since you get a manual with it although the download version comes with a PDF manual.
    When I finished, I then clicked on upgrade/install and the installation proceeded without much input from me. Lo and behold, the installation finished and it booted up to my previous Vista installation with all my programs intact.
    So far, I must stay I'm VERY impressed with this upgrade Parallels edition. It seems to load much faster, the programs are more responsive, Vista so far seems very stable and the ability to switch back and forth from Windows to OS X is totally better. From what I've seen so far, I would highly recommend anyone using Parallels 3.0 get this upgrade. While I've only been using it a few hours, it seems like the best upgrade for ANY program/system (Windows 95-->Vista) that I've ever done.
    A few months ago I saw a piece on an upgraded version of Fusion which stated that it moved Fusion ahead of Parallels. If that were so, I think the ball must be back in Parallels court with 4.0.

  • Best Practice question - null or empty object?

    Given a collection of objects where each object in the collection is an aggregation, is it better to leave references in the object as null or to instantiate an empty object? Now I'll clarify this a bit more.....
    I have an object, MyCollection, that extends Collection and implements Serializable(work requirement). MyCollection is sent as a return from an EJB search method. The search method looks up data in a database and creates MyItem objects for each row in the database. If there are 10 rows, MyCollection would contain 10 MyItem objects (references, of course).
    MyItem has three attributes:
    public class MyItem implements Serializable {
        String name;
        String description;
        MyItemDetail detail;
    }When creating MyItem, let's say that this item didn't have any details so there is no reason to create MyitemDetail. Is it better to leave detail as a null reference or should a MyItemdetail object be created? I know this sounds like a specific app requirement, but I'm looking for a best practice - what most people do in this case. There are reasons for both approaches. Obviously, a bunch of empty objects going over RMI is a strain on resources whereas a bunch of null references is not. But on the receiving end, you have to account for the MyItemDetail reference to be null or not - is this a hassle or not?
    I looked for this at [url http://www.javapractices.com]Java Practices but found nothing.

    I know this sounds like a specific apprequirement,
    , but I'm looking for a best practice - what most
    people do in this case. It depends but in general I use null.Stupid.Thanks for that insightful comment.
    >
    I do a lot of database work though. And for that
    null means something specific.Sure, return null if you have a context where null
    means something. Like for example that you got no
    result at all. But as I said before its's best to
    keep the nulls at the perimeter of your design. Don't
    let nulls slip through.As I said, I do a lot of database work. And it does mean something specific. Thus (in conclusion) that means that, in "general", I use null most of the time.
    Exactly what part of that didn't you follow?
    And exactly what sort of value do you use for a Date when it is undefined? What non-null value do you use such that your users do not have to write exactly the same code that they would to check for null anyways?

  • Best Practice Question

    I have 3 Areas for my DWH
    The first area is Staging then validation and core
    Staging is just do load date from the source systems
    validation is to validate data (every city has to have a countrie ....)
    core is my DWH shema.
    The First step in ETL is to load the data from core to validation, let's say my GEO_DIM Dimension goes to Countries, Cities and Regions in core. Additionaly I build a CRC SUM when I downlaod from Core to Validation and store the CRC Checksum in a Staging table.
    The second step is to load target from the source systems to staging, but only those date that are non equal to the previous downloadet CRC schecksum, so only changed or new data going to staging.
    The third step is do load that new/changed data from staging to core and proof some dependences. It's just validation.
    My Question is, what is the best practic to bring three tables (Countries, cities and region) to one Dimension
    thanks and regards
    Andreas

    Andreas,
    I guess the correct is depends... Without kidding, are you planning to use a flat star table for this dimension? If that is the case you would be joining the sources together and loading this into the table.
    Now this sounds way to simple, so I guess there is something more to the question...

  • Best Practice Question - Business Logic in Value Objects?

    Just wondering what people's thoughts on best practices for setting properties of Value Objects.
    For instance, I have several getter/setters in one of my Value Objects with logic in the setter that uses the value to set values of other properties.
    For example, I have a Value Object that has the following properties:
    category (of type Category, which is another Value Object with properties "name" and "id")
    categoryId (of type int)
    categoryUpdated (of type Boolean)
    I have a collection of Category Objects in the Model. When I set the categoryId of this class, I set the "categoryUpdated" to true, and dispatch an CairngormEvent to that find the "category" with the specified "categoryId" and set the "category" property to this item.
    So what is the best practice? To simply make the "categoryId" a public variable, and create a new Event/Command to perform all this logic? Or is it ok to do it all in the Value Object setter?
    Thanks.

    Hi Eric,
    I can't speak for best practices, but the only logic I've ever added to a VO were getters: an example was a set of getters on an airline flight VO to get overall flight departure/arrival times/cities from an array of flight segments in a property of the VO.
    I feel uneasy (in the nicest possible way) about your VO for two reasons: firstly it has a strong dependency on bits of the Cairngorm framework to look up the category (and VOs normally don't need to depend on anything), and secondly the intent of Commands in Cairngorm is more to represent user gestures than to wire up VO properties (I often see people shoehorning stuff into Commands that might be better of as plain old business utility classes). I would rather see an UpdateCategoryCommand (that's what the user is trying to do?) that updates categoryId and hits a delegate to populate the category property.
    That said you might have a very good reason for doing this. Could you tell us where the code is that's setting categoryId, and if anything is using categoryUpdated?
    Cheers,
    Robin
