Best Practice / Standards to design a Scorecard in PL-SQL

I am attempting to put together a Scorecard for my client who wants to track set of employees with different job role and title. Basically he identified several cetegories, criteria under those categories that he wants to score them by set weightages
Example
Category 1
Productivity
Category Weightage
80%
Criteria
WorkTypeA Weightage 25%
WorkTypeB Weightage 25%
WorkTypeB Weightage 25%
WorkTypeB Weightage 25%
Category 2
Quality
Category Weightage
20%
Criteria
Quality Type 1 50%
Quality Type 2 50%
He wants to rank each employee and rate then on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being best. He also wants to rank by Role and Title as well
My question...is there a standard methodology/template to design this in pl-sql? I can put something together but I have a feeling there should be existing best practice on this kind of scorecard design. Any ideas?

Hi
Thanks for the response. I dont have any model yet. All I have at this time, is a set of main categories, criteria under the category, weightage at the category level and criteria level. The Criteria they want to weigh on, is located in the datamart.
I guess I could build a pl-sql packaged routine using the Analytic functions and start building snapshot tables holding the score.
Is this how scorecard work is done?

Best Practice For Cube Design

All,
First post here and was wondering if anyone out there has a best practice for cube design or optimisation. Currently have 7 Cubes that have been populated for the last 6 months and am now looking at ways of speeding up their population.
Are there any hard and fast rules about dimensions?
Should they be kept to a percentage of the fact table?
When should line item dimensions be used?
Regards
Gary Boyle

Hi Gary,
Ideally the DIM tables should be 20% of the fact table and preferably less. You can check the size ratios in RSRV using the Database tables test > Database info about InfoProvider tables. Line items dimensions should be employed where the char has a large number of unique values (like 0MATERIAL, or 0CUSTOMER), so that anothe DIM ID is not created, but the SID values are used directly in the Fact Table.

What are the best practice in report design ?

Hi,
According to you, what are the best practices in report desing about layout, fonts and colors ?
Thks

Hi,
It all depends that what type of report you are designing and what tool you are using - WebI or Crystal.
And in WebI, if it is cross tab or Tabular report etc.
One most important thing is that what is client requirement. May be client does not like which is best practice.
On the base of my personal experience I will create few demo reports using different options - layout, colors and fonts and show them to client so that they may decide.

Best Practice/Standard for Securing and Attaching Files in a Web Service

Thanks in advance.
Being new to Web Services as well as most of my team. I would like to know what is the best practice for transporting files via a Web Service. I know of several methods and one that seems to be the standard, but you can't really tell in this ever changing world of Web Services. Below are the options that I have found.
1. MIME encoded the file and embed in the payload of the SOAP message
2. SwA (SOAP with Attachments) which applies MIME attachments to SOAP. I think this is similiar to the way emails are handled.
3. DIME (Direct Internet Message Encapsulation) similiar to MIME encoding but is more efficient
4. MTOM (Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism) I really not understand this method, but it seems that this is the NEW standard. I just don't understand why.
5. Utilize HTTPS and download the file from an accessible file server w/ a login id and password.
Is there someone out there that understands this problem and can assist me in understanding the pros and cons of these methods? Or maybe there is a method that I'm overlooking altogether.
Thanks

JWSDP supports securing of attachments [1]and will soon support securing MTOM attachments too. [1]http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/2.0/xws-security/ReleaseNotes.html

Any Oracle best practice/standards for inter-DataCente links for Oracle RAC

Hello Oracle Experts,
Am working for a customer to set up Oracle RAC architecture hosting SAP/Non-SAP applications per SLA levels(MC/BC/Standard) specs. Currently my network team needs calculation to arrive at whether we will go for a (1), (2) or (3) 10Gig links for inter DC (Data-Center) for Oracle RAC.. below is additional background:
•     Porting all client SAP/Non-SAP Oracle databases to new 2 data-centers.
•     There will be 10 blades (4x BL680s and 6x BL460s) in each DC (can scale-up/out later on).
•     Clusters architecture to support Extended/Stretched RAC cluster feature
•     Clusters 2-node each(1-datacenter1, 1-datacenter2) and nodes distributed across 2 x c7000 such that no cluster has more than one node in an enclosure.
•     Each node will have - 4 NIC ports ( 2 x public and 2 x private) , 2 dual-port HBA
•     Oracle ASM/ACFS (ASM Cluster File System), Voting Disk, OCR and Database files
•     the versions are Oracle 11g RAC, Oracle 10g RAC and Oracle 9i (for DataGuard/Standby) on RHEL 6 on Proliant Blades (x86) + BladeMatrix
My network colleagues considering using DWDM across the 2 DCs(given the lesser cost?). Am still looking around if there are any Oracle/industry-best practices around this and having a calculation to support that..
Many Thanks in advance..

Abhijit

Hi ,
There are no specific set of steps / practices for batch loading contents to ucm . It would be very much dependent on how many contents does the user have to load to UCM and how well the server is configured in terms of performance .
You can get more details from the following documentation link : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/doc.1111/e10792/c02_settings009.htm

Any best practices on workflow design??

I feel difficult when migrating applications from DEV->TEST->PROD.
       This is because I have created web services in .net.
       So, for each migration, I am suppose to change all the WSDL links in all forms and Workflows.
       Currently:
          I do open the processes in notepad replace all wsdl connection with TEST/PROD connections.
          I do open each form and goto XML Source and replace all WSDl strings.
        Is there any other best practice(s) to do that?
Nith

I followed a different approach for one of my project as:
created several form variables which hold the WSDL for each different servers.
Calling the web service from javascript code (instead of data connections).
This solves the problem but increases the development overhead.
http://groups.google.com/group/livecycle/web/form%20variables.PNG
Another way is to design all your web services within adobe itself. In this case we will have the same host name (localhost) forever which doesn't require any modification throughout its lifetime.

Best practices for network design on WLC 2504 and 5508

Dear all:
I'm looking for some recommendations on WLC 2504 and 5508 about the the following:
Maximum amount of AP per port
The scenario when to use all ports in both WLC
Maximum number of clients(users) per port
Bandwidth comsumption of management vs data in order to assign one port for management
I've just found this:
Cisco 5508 controllers have eight Gigabit Ethernet distribution system ports, through which the controller can manage multiple access points. The 5508-12, 5508-25, 5508-50, 5508-100, and 5508-250 models allow a total of 12, 25, 50, 100, or 250 access points to join the controller. Cisco 5508 controllers have no restrictions on the number of access points per port. However, Cisco recommends using link aggregation (LAG) or configuring dynamic AP-manager interfaces on each Gigabit Ethernet port to automatically balance the load. If more than 100 access points are connected to the 5500 series controller, make sure that more than one gigabit Ethernet interface is connected to the upstream switch.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/6-0/configuration/guide/Controller60CG/c60mint.html
Thanks for your help.

The 5508-12, 5508-25, 5508-50, 5508-100, and 5508-250 models allow a total of 12, 25, 50, 100, or 250 access points to join the controller.
This is an old document. 5508 can now support up to 500 APs if you run firmware 7.X. 2504 can support up to 75 APs if you run firmware 7.4.X.
I'm looking for some recommendations on WLC 2504 and 5508 about the the following:
Best practice and recommendation is to LAG all ports so you will be able to form a link redundancy. If one link goes down, you have other link to push traffic.

PI best practice and integration design ...

Im currently on a site that has multiple PI instance's for each region and the question of inter-region integration has been raised my initial impression is that each PI will be in charge of integration of communications for its reginal landscape and inter-region communications will be conducted through PI - PI interface . I havent come across any best practice in this regard and have never been involved with a multiple PI landscape ...
Any thoughts ? or links to best practice for this kind of landscape ?...
to Summaries
I think this is the best way to set it up, although numerous other combinations are possible, this seems to be the best way to avoid any signifcant system coupling. When talking about ECC - ECC inter-region communications
AUS ECC -
> AUS PI -
> USA PI -
> USA ECC

I need to get data from my local ECC to USA ECC, do i send the data to their PI/my PI/directly to their ECC, all will work, all are

If LocalECC --> onePI --> USA ECC is valid, then you dont have to go for other PI in between...why to increase the processing time....and it seems to be a good option to bet on.
The issue is
1. Which PI system should any given peice of data be routed through and how do you manage the subsequent spider web of interfaces resulting from PI AUS talking to ECC US, ECC AU, BI US, BI AU and the reverse for the PI USA system.
2. Increased processing time Integration Engine - Integration Engine should be minimal and it will mean a consistent set of interfaces for support and debug, not to mention the simplification of SLD contents in each PI system.
I tend to think of like network routing, the PI system is the default gateway for any data not bound for a local systems you send and let PI figure out what the next step is.
abhishek salvi wrote:
But then what about this statement (is it a restriction or business requirement)
Presently the directive is that each PI will manage communications with its own landscape only respectively
When talking multiple landscapes dev / test / qa / prod, each landscape has its own PI system generally, this is an extention of the same idea except that both systems are productive, from a interface and customisation point of view given the geographical remotness of each system local interface development for local systems and support makes sense, whilst not limited to this kind of interaction typically interfaces for a given business function for a given location (location specific logic) would be developed in concert with the interface and as such has no real place on the remote system (PI).
To answer your question there is no rule, it just makes sense.

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 OOP - good design

I started to write a chat application [server + client]
and I wanted to optimise it [good OOP + reuse of classes,objects].
So, I have a class that handles the interface, a class that handles the socket [reading, writing], a class that handles the events, etc...
As Iwanted to write it the best way possible, I looked a little in patterns and OOP design books in order to make it better.
After reading, digging ..., an idea came to me.
A problem I came across many times, in my past projects also was the fact that, when I was in the interface class, and i needed the socket class I couldn't find a way to get it and instantiate it when I needed it. I always had to pass it as an argument to the constructor of the interface class [just for this example] or in the class where i instantiate the interface class, i had to appeal a method on the object=interface in order to put the socket object in the interface class , for future manipulation.
It could get more complicated if i wanted to use the socket object only when a certain event appear, and i wanted it in who-knows what class.
So i trid this implementation of noname pattern [with influences from all the books I read] :
I create an instatiator of objects [say class ObjectManager] with the following methods:
void addObject(Object o,String nameObj)
Object getObject(String nameObj)
Now I instantiate [in the meanwhile i present to the user a pretty JWindow with loading...] all the objects I will use in the application and the objects-resource > [Colors, Fonts,etc...] and also add them to the ObjectManager.Also, all the objects will have a reference to this ObjectManager.
and when I need a specific Object, I will get it with [specyfing its name]
ObjectManager.getObject(nameObj).
What I want from the guys from this forum:
1) comments on this [is it good, i just go crazy, all of this is garbage, i am wrong(specify why)]...
2) Is this a well-known pattern, or a version of a well-known pattern and I can't recognize it?
3) If anybody understood my problem, is this the best way to achieve it[getting objects already instantiated whenever and wherever I want], and if not, which is it
4) The problem is put wrong, an application should be thought differently - please guide me to some URLs, tutorials...
Thanx in advance
Gabi

In some ways, this is similar to a Factory pattern: a place that you go to get objects.
The difference is that a typical Factory creates (or returns from somewhere!) objects of a limited number of related types, based on some configuration input (a FooFactory, for example, doesn't typically return a Bar object, unless Bar is a subclass of or implements Foo).
For an atypical factory, consider the java.rmi.Naming class. On the one side, a server registers the objects that it serves; on the other, a client requests those objects. As far as the client is concerned, this fits the Factory pattern exactly; on the server side, it doesn't.
Personally, I like having a singleton "Manager" object for various semi-related objects within an application. For example, a DialogManager that holds onto all the application's dialogs. Someone has to know about them, and it could be the application's main class, but that tends to more clutter than I like.

Best Practice for ViewObjects when inserting data through pl/sql procedure

My applications is oracle form based enterprise level application and we are now developing new module in ADF 11g but there is restriction that all data insertion, updation, and deletion will be through oracle pl/sql procedures. Now my question is that adf pages should be binded with ViewObjects based on Entity Object or with Viewobjects not based on Entity / sql query. Currently I have developed pages with programmatic ViewObjects which are neither based on Entity Objects nor on sql query. In those view objects, i create transient attributes and then used it to create adf pages. Then on save, i extract the data from ViewObject's current row and pass it to procedure. This is working fine but just wondering whether this approach is ok or there is better alternative for that. Ideally i want to create ViewObjects based on EntityObject but don't finding any way to synchronize entityObjects with data inserted through procedures.

Hi,
I create a EO for the Database-View and override the doDML()-Method. For insert/update and delete I call the pl/sql-functions.
See "38.5 Basing an Entity Object on a PL/SQL Package API" in Oracle® Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development
Framework.

Best practice game design

Having decided to use java to develop what will be for the most part a 2D (overhead) tile-based RPG game I'm wondering what the best practice is for designing a game like this.
At the minute I'm intending on using a 'state' system, varying game states (main game, shop, battle, world map etc., state transitions and single use states to create further immersion in the game) implement a State interface that defines how the main game engine interacts with the state (mainly a tick method called on each game loop). When the program wants to switch the game state it makes a call to the main engine, something like setState(State).
Has anyone written an RPG along these lines? What kind of memory usage did you have, and did you encounter any problems along the way with this design?

So far, I've identified two perspectives.
The first is to consider yourself as a sort of "overmind" that tracks each object within the game as a seperate entity. The primary advantage seems to be that it is trivial to add objects as you go along. The primary disadvantage is dealing with all the message passing.
For example, say you are fighting a horde of goblins when a dragon flies overhead and breathes fire on the battlefield. You would have to call each goblin instance, and have that particular goblin check to see if it dies, and if so, call its death routine. You would have to call your own player object, and have it check to see if you are carrying potions. Each potion then would have to check to see if it boils and explodes in reaction to the dragon breath. And so on. But it would be trivial to add an orc to the battle, or change the dragon into an evil wizard.
This consumes quite a bit of memory (for all the objects and references), and it can be a little tricky incorporating it into the game loop.
The other aspect is to code the player as the "center of the universe" and everything happens with respect to that player. It becomes easier find relevant objects and interact with them, but it becomes much harder to just drop an object in place.
Using the prior example, the dragon becomes your combatant. Damage is done to a goblin in the array and it dies. The next enemy in your array dies. Do so much damage to your inventory and remove them as appropriate. Keeping track of what's going on appears to be much more straightforward, but it would be harder to add the evil wizard to the mix.
This consumes less memory - the game is only worried about things that happen around you as opposed to well... a whole bunch of "entities" at the same time, and is significantly faster and easier to add to the game loop.
State machines tend to follow this approach, event driven games tend to follow the prior approach.
Obviously, I don't code games for a living. I would think that most games these days are somewhat of a mish-mash. Use a basic state machine as in the FF7 example to keep track of broad activities, and within each activity, let the objects manage themselves in response to events.
For example, each game tick could switch among movement activities, "peaceful magic" activities, battle activities, clean up activities (such as death and xp rewards), and finally general inventory and shop activities, skipping steps as appropriate.
And say within the movement event, you could have an monster object scream and add itself to the battle mode queue if it detects your player object within such and such a distance.
Anyway, I've been toying with the idea of coding or volunteernig to work on an RPG as well, so I'd be interested in hearing from you guys on how to organize things too.
