Best Practice regarding a Re-classification

Hi
We are on 4.7. An amount had been transferred from Trade Debors to Trade Debtors Retention (Special GL) using FB01 (Cr. customer A & Dr. Customer A - with Sp GL. This caused us an issue during month-end by creating a DUMMY PC entry. This, I understand is due to the fact that, when transferring between subledgers without touching a Balance Sheet account the document is not carrying a PC entry. Therefore resulting in DUMMY entry.
I would like to know the best practice of such reclassification so that I can ask the users to avoide such postings in furture.
Thanks
Nadini

Best Practices regarding AIA and CDP extensions

Based on the guide "AD CS Step by Step Guide: Two Tier PKI Hierarchy Deployment", I'll have both
internal and external users (with a CDP in the DMZ) so I have a few questions regarding the configuration of AIA/CDP.
From here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780454(v=ws.10).aspx
A root CA certificate should have an empty CRL distribution point because the CRL distribution point is defined by the certificate issuer. Since the roots certificate issuer is the root CA, there is no value in including a CRL distribution point for
the root CA. In addition, some applications may detect an invalid certificate chain if the root certificate has a CRL distribution point extension set.A root CA certificate should have an empty CRL distribution point because the CRL distribution point is defined
by the certificate issuer.
To have an empty CDP do I have to add these lines to the CAPolicy.inf of the Offline Root CA:
[CRLDistributionPoint]
Empty = true
What about the AIA? Should it be empty for the root CA?
Using only HTTP CDPs seems to be the best practice, but what about the AIA? Should I only use HTTP?
Since I'll be using only HTTP CDPs, should I use LDAP Publishing? What is the benefit of using it and what is the best practice regarding this?
If I don't want to use LDAP Publishing, should I omit the commands: certutil -f -dspublish "A:\CA01_Fabrikam Root CA.crt" RootCA / certutil -f -dspublish "A:\Fabrikam Root
CA.crl" CA01
Thank you,

Is there any reason why you specified a '2' for the HTTP CDP ("2:http://pki.fabrikam.com/CertEnroll/%1_%3%4.crt"
)? This will be my only CDP/AIA extension, so isn't it supposed to be '1' in priority?
I tested the setup of the offline Root CA but after the installation, the AIA/CDP Extensions were already pre-populated with the default URLs. I removed all of them:
The Root Certificate and CRL were already created after ADCS installation in C:\Windows\System32\CertSrv\CertEnroll\ with the default naming convention including the server name (%1_%3%4.crt).
I guess I could renamed it without impact? If someday I have to revoke the Root CA certificate or the certificate has expired, how will I update the Root CRL since I have no CDP?
Based on this guide: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/15037.ad-cs-step-by-step-guide-two-tier-pki-hierarchy-deployment.aspx,
the Root certificate and CRL is publish in Active Directory:
certutil -f -dspublish "A:\CA01_Fabrikam Root CA.crt" RootCA
certutil -f -dspublish "A:\Fabrikam Root CA.crl" CA01
Is it really necessary to publish the Root CRL in my case?
Instead of using dspublish, isn't it better to deploy the certificates (Root/Intermediate) through GPO, like in the Default Domain Policy?

Best Practices regarding program RCOCB004

Dear Colleagues
I'd like to discuss the Best Practices regarding the setup of jobs to send Process Messages
In my company we have a batch job with two steps. Each steps contain one variant of program RCOCB004.
The first step will send messages with Status "To be sent", "To be resubmitted" and "To be resubm. w/warng"
The second step will send messages with Status "Destination Error", "Terminated", "Incomplete"
However, this job sometimes fails with error "Preceding job not yet completed (plant US07)"
I'd like to discuss what is best way to set up this job in order to avoid this error and also improve performance.
Thanks and Regards

Dear,
To keep the number of message logs in the system low, proceed as follows:
      1. Check the report variants for report RCOCB004 used in your send jobs.The sending of messages in status "Destination error" or "Terminated" is only useful if the error is corrected without manual intervention;for example with messages of category PI_PHST, if the sequence of the messages or time events was swapped in the first send process.
      2. Regularly delete the logs of the messages that were not sent to the destination PI01 using report RCOCB009 (Transaction CO62).
      3. Check whether it it is actually required to send messages to the destination PI01.This is only useful if you want to evaluate the data of these messages by means of the process data evaluation, or if the message data including the logs are to be a part of the process data documentation or the batch log. Remove destination PI01 for the message categories to which the above-mentioned criteria does not apply.You can activate destination PI01 again at a later stage.
      4. If you still want to send process messages to destination PI01, carry out a regular archiving of your process orders.As a result of the archiving, the message copies and logs in the process message record are also deleted.
      5. If the described measures do not suffice, you can delete the logs using Transaction SLG2.
Control recipe send = RCOCB006 and you need to set the job to run after event SAP_NEW_CONTROL_RECIPES
Process message send = RCOCB002 (cross plant) and RCOCB004 (specific plant). You need to create variants for these.
Check the IMG documentation in PPPI for control recipes and process instructions where there is more information about this. Also standard SAP help is quite good on these points.
Finally, if you are automatically generating process instructions then you need program RCOCRPVG plus appropriate variants.
Hope it will help you.

Looking for some best practice regarding Content Administrator access

Hi. I am looking for some best practice or rule of thumb from SAP or from different companies how they address Portal Content Administrator access in Production environment. Basically, our company is implementing portal to work with SAP BW. We are on SP 9. Basically, I am trying to determine if we should have 1-2 Portal Content Administrator in Production with 24/7 access or we should limit them from NOT having this. Can you share with me some ideas of what is right? and what is not?
Should we have access in Production? Or Should we have this access but limited? By the way, our users are allow to Publish BI reports/queries into Production.

Hello Michael,
Refer to this guide about managing initial content in portal.

Best Practice regarding using and implementing the pref.txt file

Hi All,
I would like to start a post regarding what is Best Practice in using and implementing the pref.txt file. We have reached a stage where we are about to go live with Discoverer Viewer, and I am interested to know what others have encountered or done to with their pref.txt file and viewer look and feel..
Have any of you been able to add additional lines into the file, please share ;-)
Look forward to your replies.
Lance

Hi Lance
Wow, what a question and the simple answer is - it depends. It depends on whether you want to do the query predictor, whether you want to increase the timeouts for users and lists of values, whether you want to have the Plus available items and Selected items panes displayed by default, and so on.
Typically, most organizations go with the defaults with the exception that you might want to consider turning off the query predictor. That predictor is usually a pain in the neck and most companies turn it off, thus increasing query performance.
Do you have a copy of my Discoverer 10g Handbook? If so, take a look at pages 785 to 799 where I discuss in detail all of the preferences and their impact.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Best Practice Regarding Large Mobility Groups

I was reading the WLC Best Practices and was wondering if anyone could put a number to this statement regarding the largest number of APs, end users, and controllers which can contained in a Mobility Group.
We would be deploying WiSMs in two geographically dispersed data centers. No voice is being used or is planned.
"Do not create unnecessarily large mobility groups. A mobility group should only have all controllers that have access points in the area where a client can physically roam, for example all controllers with access points in a building. If you have a scenario where several buildings are separated, they should be broken into several mobility groups. This saves memory and CPU, as controllers do not need to keep large lists of valid clients, rogues and access points inside the group, which would not interact anyway.
Keep in mind that WLC redundancy is achieved through the mobility groups. So it might be necessary in some situations to increase the mobility group size, including additional controllers for
redundancy (N+1 topology for example)."
I would be interested in hearing about scenarios where a Catalyst 6509 with 5 WiSM blades is deployed in data centers which back each other up for cases of disaster recovery.
Can I have one large Mobility group? This would be easier to manage.
or
Would it be better to back up each blade with a blade in the second data center? This would call for smaller Mobility Groups.
Be glad to elaborate further if anyone has a similar experience and needs more information.
All responses will be rated.
Thanks in advance.
Paul

Well, that is a large group indeed, and I would say most organizations use nested groups instead of adding these behemoths to the directory as they are quite difficult to work with. If it's a one-time thing, you could create it manually in bite-sized
chunks with LDIF or the like, so that FIM only has to do small delta changes afterwards.
The 5,000 member limit mostly applies to groups prior to the change to linked value storage. What is your forest functional level, and have you verified that this group is using linked values?

Best practice regarding package-private or public classes

Hello,
If I was, for example, developing a library that client code would use and rely on, then I can see how I would design the library as a "module" contained in its own package,
and I would certainly want to think carefully about what classes to expose to outside packages (using "public" as the class access modifier), as such classes would represent the
exposed API. Any classes that are not part of the API would be made package-private (no access modifier). The package in which my library resides would thereby create an
additional layer of encapsulation.
However, thus far I've only developed small applications that reside in their own packages. There does not exist any "client code" in other packages that relies on the code I've
written. In such a case, what is the best practice when I choose to make my classes public or package-private? Is it relevant?
Thanks in advance!

Is it relevant?I've always gone by this rule of thumb: Do I want others using or is it appropriate for others to use my methodes. Are my methods "pure" and not containing package speicific coding. Can I guarentee that everything will be initialized correctly if the package is included in other projects.
Basically--If I can be sure that the code will do what it is supposed to do and I've not "corrupted" the obvious meaning of the method, then I usually make it public--otherwise, the outside world, other packages, does not need to see it.

Best Practice Regarding Maintaining Business Views/List of Values

Hello all,
I'm still in the learning process of using BOXI to run our Crystal Reports. I was never familiar with the BO environment before but I have recently learned that every dynamic parameter we create for a report, the Business View/Data Connectors/LOV are created on the Enterprise Repository the moment the Crystal Report is uploaded.
All of our reports are authored from a SQL Command statement and often times, various reports will use the same field name from the database for different reports. For example, we have several reports that use the field name "LOCATION" that exists on a good number of tables on the database.
When looking at the Repository, I've noticed there are several variations of LOCATION, all which I'm assuming belongs to one specific report. Having said that, I see that it can start to become a nightmare in trying to figure out which variation of LOCATION belongs to what report. Sooner or later, the Repository will need to be maintained a bit cleaner, and with the rate we author reports, I forsee a huge amount of headache down the road.
With that being said, what's the best practice in a nutshell when trying to maintain these repository items? Is it done indirectly on the Crystal Report authoring side where you name your parameter field identifiable to a specific report? Or is it done directly on the Repository side?
Thank you.

Best practice regarding work flow (cutting, applying effects, exporting etc)

Hi!
I've been asked to shoot and edit a music video for a friend of mine, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage this project in PrE (in what order to do things and so on). I have a picture in my head which make sence, but I'd like to have it confirmed. If you've been following the "Very disappointed with Premiere Elements" thread, you know I'm not a fan of how the applying of effects works, when having a lot of cuts between scenes and clips etc. A few of the steps below is meant to make that process more effective.
So, here's my idea, from the begining and in detail:
1. Download the appropriate clips from the camera (in this case 1280x720, H.264 mov's from an EOS 500D).
2. Create a PrE-project for each clip and maybe trim the in and outs a bit, if needed.
3. Export each clip to uncompressed avi's.
4. Create the main project file and import all the uncompressed avi's.
5. Insert the clips in on appropriate tracks in the timeline.
6. Do all the cutting, triming and sync as complete as possible, without thinking about effects.
7. When finished, open up each of the smaller clip projects and add the desired effects. This will mainly include contrasts, color corrections, noise etc, in order to get the right look and feel to each clip/scene.
8. Again, export the clips to uncompressed avi's and overwrite the previous versions.
9. Open up the main project, which now should contain the clips with look-and-feel effects visible.
10. Add some additional effects if needed.
11. Export/share, and you're done.
Of course I will end up going back and forth through these steps anyway, but as a basic plan it seems reasonable. I see three main positive aspects:
1. The look-and-feel effects will be applied on the raw material, before the converting process. This should result in a slightly better quality. Perhaps not noticeable, but anyway.
2. The main project will be more CPU friendly and easier to work with.
3. If I want to tweek the look-and-feel effect to a clip/scene, I don't have to do it on every split (I will have a lot of splits, so applying and changing the effect parameters will be time consuming and ineffective). Of course, opening up the clip's specific project, changing the effect and then export to avi, will also take time, but point 1 and 2 makes up for that.
Have in mind that it is a music video project, to put things in the right context. We'll probably have a few parallel stories/scenes, with lots of cutting in and out between them. The timeline will probably look insane.
So, am I thinking in the right direction here? Any traps I might fall into along the way?
Regards
Fredrik

Fredrik,
Though similar to your workflow, here is how I would do it.
Import those "raw" Clips into a Project, and do my Trimming in that Project, relying on the Source Monitor to establish the In & Out Points for each, and also using different Instances of any longer "master Clip.". I would also do my CC (Color Correction), and all density (Levels, etc.) Effects here. Do not Trim too closely, as you will want to make sure that you have adequate Handles to work with later on.
Use the WAB (Work Area Bar) to Export the material that I needed in "chunks," using either Lagarith Lossless CODEC, or UT Lossless CODEC *
Import my music into a new Project and listen over and over, making notes on what visuals (those Exported/Shared Clips from above) I have at my disposal. At this point, I would also be making notes as to some of the Effects that I felt went with the music, based on my knowledge of the available visuals.
Import my Exported/Shared, color graded Clips.
Assemble those Clips, and Trim even more.
Watch and listen carefully, going back to my notes.
Apply any additional Effects now.
Watch and listen carefully.
Tighten any edits, adjust any applied Effects, and perhaps add (or remove existing) more Effects.
Watch and listen carefully.
Output an "approval" AV for the band/client.
Tweak, as is necessary.
Output "final approval" AV.
Tweak, as is necessary.
Export/Share, to desired delivery formats.
Invoice the client.
Cash check.
Declare "wine-thirty."
This is very similar to your proposed workflow.
Good luck,
Hunt
* I have used Lagarith Lossless CODEC with my PrE 4.0, but have not tried UT. Both work fine in PrPro, so I assume that UT Lossless will work in PrE too. These CODEC's are fairly quick in processing/Exporting, and offer the benefit of smaller files, than Uncompressed AVI. They are visually lossless. The resultant files will NOT be tiny, so one would still need a good amount of HDD space. Neither CODEC introduces any artifacts, or color degredation.

Any "Best Practice" regarding use of zfs in LDOM with zones

I have 3 different networks and I want to create a guest-domain for each of the three networks on the same control domain.
Inside each guest-domain, I want to create 3 zones.
To make it easy to handle growth and also make the zones more portable, I want to create a zpool inside each guest domain and then a zfs for each zoneroot.
By doing this I will be able to handle growth by adding vdisks to the zpool(in the guest domain) and also to migrate individual zones by using zfs send/receive.
In the "LDoms Community Cookbook", I found a description on how to use zfs clone in the control domain to decrease deploy time of new guest domains:
" You can use ZFS to very efficiently, easily and quickly, take a copy of a previously prepared "golden" boot disk for one domain and redeploy multiple copies of that image as a pre-installed boot disk for other domains."
I can see clear advantages in using zfs in both the control domain and the guest domain, but what is the downside?
I ends up with a kind of nested zfs where I create a zpool inside a zpool, the first in the control domain and the second inside a guest domain.
How is zfs caching handled, will I end up with a solution with performance problems and a lot of I/O overhead?
Kindest,
Tor

I'm not familiar with the Sybase agent code and you are correct, only 15.0.3 seems to be supported. I think we'd need a little more debug information to determine if there was a workaround. May be switching on *.info messages in syslogd.conf might get some more useful hints (no guarantee).
Unfortunately, I can't comment on if, or when, Sybase 15.5.x might be supported.

Best practice regarding automatic IU documents

Hi Team,
In case of automatic postings at IU elimination how to configure document type in order to allow different subassignments like segments.
This sub assignments field in case of automatic posting documents allowing at header level and at the time of posting system allowing to post documents with different sub assignemnts at document but when you go and see individual docuement, system is not displaying that document and throughing error message.
Can any one advice.
Thanks and regards
Naveen.KV

The subassignments are not changeable for automatic IU documents as the values are the same as those of the source records.
One option is to post manual adjusting entries to change the IU elimination subassignments.
Another option is to create a reclassification method/task to automatically change the subassignments for the IU eliminations.

Nested regions best practice regarding inheritance of editable regions.

Have a template page, http://www.satgraphics.com/templates/main_01.dwt in which I have an area labeled "div#main_wrapper".
When attempting to make it an "editable" region, I received the following comment: "The selection already contains or overlaps with an editable, repeating, or optional region".
I had already made the "header" and "column_left" regions editable, but as the "column_left" is nested within the wrapper, my question would be; Would the correct process be to un-do the "column_left" editable region, make the "div#main_wrapper" editable, and be able to edit the "column_left" area as an inherited editable area?
When I did try to do so to the "main_wrapper" div, I did not get the identifier label (blue text block at top left of each area) and received the warning as mentioned previously.
Thank You...

I did attempt to specify the "main_wrapper" div, but did so after already creating the "column_left" div region as editable, (nested in the "wrapper") and that is when I received the error message.
As an aside, the site is fairly simple, so I am using a single template in which I do make content changes to header, column_left, and hopefully within the wrapper itself) for each new page, thus intentionally wanting editable region in content of "wrapper".
The "footer" and "menu" are the two areas in which I did not open up for change; the "menu" is a library item, so any changes are made from there.
So, question now becomes that of getting the "main_wrapper" div editable and how can that be done without the aforementioned message?

Thank You for your help.

2821 CCME K9 best practice regarding ADSL

Hi. Im in the process of speccing up a replacement for our UC500.
Im wondering if it is wise to use the 2821 as our Internet gateway (ADSL) aswell as our phone system (so general day to day web design, remote VPN connections to customer sites and allowing remote telephone workers in). Eventually there will be around 40 users needing web access.
OR would it be better to use the 2821 as a phone system only and use another router, such as the 1841 ADSL router with the K9 pack for dealing with a few VPN's and the remote workers?
Id be interested in your opinions.
Thanks

This is the classic dilemma, single box Vs many many boxes.
Advantages of 'single box': Less cost (sometime), less admin, less points of failure (what isn't there can't break).
Advantages of 'many boxes': clear demarc between roles and no possibility that one functionality influences the other (E.g.a crash in VPN code brings down the telephones too).
Cisco as always touted the 'all integrated' approach as an advatage agaisnt the competition that often cannot do it,
except that the very moment of closing the deal with customers, invariably the second approach become much more recommended for reasons easy to understand.
Bottom line, the 2821 can do both things (and more) without any problem. Also having two boxes is nice and has advantages. This is really up to you to decide!

Best practice for Active Directory User Templates regarding Distribution Lists

Hello All
I am looking to implement Active Directory User templates for each department in the company to make the process of creating user accounts for new employees easier. Currently when a user is created a current user's Active directory account is copied, but
this has led to problems with new employees being added to groups which they should not be a part of.
I have attempted to implement this in the past but ran into an issue regarding Distribution Lists. I would like to set up template users with all group memberships that are needed for the department, including distribution lists. Previously I set this up
but received complaints from users who would send e-mail to distribution lists the template accounts were members of.
When sending an e-mail to the distribution list with a member template user, users received an error because the template account does not have an e-mail address.
What is the best practice regarding template user accounts as it pertains to distribution lists? It seems like I will have to create a mailbox for each template user but I can't help but feel there is a better way to avoid this problem. If a mailbox is created
for each template user, it will prevent the error messages users were receiving, but messages will simply build up in these mailboxes. I could set a rule for each one that deletes messages, but again I feel like there is a better way which I haven't thought
of.
Has anyone come up with a better method of doing this?
Thank you

You can just add arbitrary email (not a mailbox) to all your templates and it should solve the problem with errors when sending emails to distribution lists.
If you want to further simplify your user creation process you can have a look at Adaxes (consider it's a third-party app). If you want to use templates, it gives you a slightly better way to do that (http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_WebInterfaceCustomization_AllowUsingTemplatesForUserCreation.htm)
and it also can automatically perform tasks such as mailbox creation for newly created users (http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_AutomatingDailyTasks_AutomateExchangeMailboxesCreationForNewUsers.htm).
Alternatively you can abandon templates at all and use customizable condition-based rules to automatically perform all the needed tasks on user creation such as OU allocation, group membership assignment, mailbox creation, home folder creation, etc. based on
the factors you predefine for them.

Unicode Migration using National Characterset data types - Best Practice ?

I know that Oracle discourages the use of the national characterset and national characterset data types(NCHAR, NVARCHAR) but that is the route my company has decide to take and I would like to know what is the best practice regarding this specifically in relation to stored procedures.
The database schema is being converted by changing all CHAR, VARCHAR and CLOB data types to NCHAR, NVARCHAR and NCLOB data types respectively and I would appreciate any suggestions regarding the changes that need to be made to stored procedures and if there are any hard and fast rules that need to be followed.
Specific questions that I have are :
1. Do CHAR and VARCHAR parameters need to be changed to NCHAR and NVARCHAR types ?
2. Do CHAR and VARCHAR variables need to be changed to NCHAR and NVARCHAR types ?
3. Do string literals need to be prefixed with 'N' in all cases ? e.g.
in variable assignments - v_module_name := N'ABCD'
in variable comparisons - IF v_sp_access_mode = N'DL'
in calls to other procedures passing string parameters - proc_xyz(v_module_name, N'String Parameter')
in database column comparisons - WHERE COLUMN_XYZ = N'ABCD'
If anybody has been through a similar exercise, please share your experience and point out any additional changes that may be required in other areas.
Database details are as follows and the application is written in COBOL and this is also being changed to be Unicode compliant:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16

##1. while doing a test convertion I discovered that VARCHAR paramaters need to be changed to NVARCHAR2 and not VARCHAR2, same for VARCHAR variables.
VARCHAR columns/parameters/variables should not by used as Oracle reserves the right to change their semantics in the future. You should use VARCHAR2/NVARCHAR2.
##3. Not sure I understand, are you saying that unicode columns(NVARCHAR2, NCHAR) in the database will only be able to store character strings made up from WE8MSWIN1252 characters ?
No, I meant literals. You cannot include non-WE8MSWIN1252 characters into a literal. Actually, you can include them under certain conditions but they will be transformed to an escaped form. See also the UNISTR function.
## Reason given for going down this route is that our application works with SQL Server and Oracle and this was the best option
## to keep the code/schemas consistent between the two databases
First, you have to keep two sets of scripts anyway because syntax of DDL is different between SQL Server and Oracle. There is therefore little benefit of just keeping the data type names the same while so many things need to be different. If I designed your system, I would use a DB-agnostic object repository and a script generator to produce either SQL Server or Oracle scripts with the appropriate data types or at least I would use some placeholder syntax to replace placeholders with appropriate data types per target system in the application installer.
## I don't know if it is possible to create a database in SQL Server with a Unicode characterset/collation like you can in Oracle, that would have been the better option.
I am not an SQL Server expert but I think VARCHAR data types are restricted to Windows ANSI code pages and those do not include Unicode.
