Best practice to implement different Xcelsius dashboard for different users

I'm implementing an Xcelsius dashboard that requires to show each individual user with different content (e.g. When a user logins in, the dashboard shows her name and job title, her performance and her subordinate's performance). I'm just wondering what's the best practice to implement scenario like this? Thanks.

Hi Thomas
What you are looking at is "Row Level Security" within BusinessObjects and the options you have are determined by what type of data you are reporting off of (relational data, OLAP data, BW data, etc.)
For instance, if you are using relational data with a Universe you could setup a database table with the BusinessObjects username to correspond with their e-mail address or other unique identifier. From there, you could add security to your universe using the @variable('BOUSER')
That way, any objects created off of the universe (whether it is a Crystal Report, Web Intelligence, BI Web Service, QaaWS, LiveOffice, etc.) will filter the data based on this security model. So any Xcelsius dashboard based on this underlying data will also be filtered.
And that is just one of the options you have, depending on your data source.

Best Practice? - Implementing different sap portals on the same hardware

We have a very large intranet portal implementation today spanning multiple boxes with 30k+ users on it.
A different business group is asking us to build a sap vendor portal system, but would like to know if we can run it on the same equipment.
The intranet uses ldap where the vendor will authenticate/authorize against the database. Aside from this, other configurations will be different. My gut feel is that this is something we should not do (mixing both intranet and vendor systems on the same hardware with different config's).
Is there a best practice document that outlines if this is something that should be done or avoided. Also, if you have run into this and have an answer, would appreciate the feedback.
Thanks in advance for the assistance,
Todd

Hi Todd,
Technically there isn't a reason you couldn't run both portals on the same hardware assuming it is sized properly. You could even use the same portal if you wanted to.
The thing I would be concerned with is security. I assume you have more stringent security requirements for external facing applications than internal applications like the need for additional firewalls and reverse proxies. Usually if you pursue the security requirements you will find the need for separate portal hardware.
Hope this helps

Best Practice to implement Business Packages

Hello All,
Need some clarification -
What is the best practice to implement ESS/MSS Business Package onto Portal -
(1) Should I just import and configure the content OR
(2) Should I import, create a copy and then configure it? If yes, are there any points to be kept in mind?
All blogs/articles that have been published show to configure the standard content.
The requirement is to maintain a different prefix/namespace for each Portal content that comes along the business package?
Thanks,
Ritu

Hi Paul,
I also build my own roles. The only time I might use the standard roles is for demo purposes early in a project. You will find that in some cases the business packages like MSS don't always even include standard roles, so you have no choice but to build.
I never change any of the standard iViews/Pages/Worksets - ever.
The most contentious issue seems to be whether to do a full or delta link copy of the standard objects. I tend to initially do a full copy of the objects into a custom folder set in the PCD and modify those. Then I only use delta links from Page to iViews where I need the option of setting different properties for the same iView if it appears in multiple pages. Delta links can be a bit flakey at times, so I tend to only use them where I have to. I suspect that I may get to a point where I don't use them at all.
Just my 2 cents worth....

John

Best Practice to implement Reporting Exits

Hello,
I want to know the best practice to implementing reporting exits.
We have a case statement there and i_vnam.
THen we write like
WHen i_vnam
Code for filling the variable values.
The above method has a drawback that if one person is changing the program another person cannot at the same time and if one person transports it all the other changes are also transported. So if there is some code which is not ready to be used even it will be transported.
Another option is if we creae an include for each variable eg. ZBW_'variable name'...
And then for each variable we just have to transport the include and not the entire exit...
Do you see any drawbacks in this method or is there any other better way?

Hi,
You can create your program in SE38 for your own variable & call ZXRSRU01 program in it & pass the value to a variable which will in turn pass to to variable for CASE ivnam = "".
in this way the ZXRSRU01 will become accessible & can be called in any program.
But it will impact all the variables.
Its a good practice so that ZXRSRU01 is not impacted after that.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Rashmi.

MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk?

MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk?
I have just downloaded a Hello Kitty MMO app for research (for my kid of course).
I am developping my English teaching app with LOADS of classical music, mp3 sentences and heavy background bgs. Would the best idea be for client to download these to their hardisk ie I would not need to stream them and therefore save a fortune on bandwidth charges from my ISP???
Cheers

I see what you mean ie: they have to get the file to their computer one way or another BUT
a. If they are going to repeatedly use that file ie: a custom cursor or classical piece of music every week when they log on then it would be better for them to have it on their hardisk wouldn't it? If not, they would have to download it every time they log on. I take it that's why the hello kitty site makes you download 130 megas so you have everything on your hardisk, ie: you will be reusing all those assets MANY times in the future. The experience wil be very FAST as you have it on your local disk and needn't have to wait for streaming.

Best Practice to implement row restriction level

Hi guys,
We need to implement a security row filter scenario in our reporting system. Following several recommendations already posted in the forum we have created a security table with the following columns
userName Object Id
U1             A
U2             B
where our fact table is something like that
Object Id    Fact A
A                23
B                4
Additionally we have created row restriction on the universe based on the following where clause:
UserName = @Variable('BOUSER')
If the report only contains objects based on Fact table the restriction is never applied. This has sense as docs specify that the row restrictions are only applied if the table is actually invoked in the SQL statement (SELECT statment is supposed).
Question is the following: Which is the best practice recommended in this situation. Create a dummy column in the security table, map into it into the universe and include the object in the query?
Thanks
Edited by: Alfons Gonzalez on Mar 8, 2012 5:33 PM

Hi,
This solution also seemed to be the most suitable for us. Problem that we have discover: when the restriction set is not applied for a given user (the advantage of using restriction set is the fact that is not always applied) the query joins the fact table with the security table withou applying any where clause based on @variable('USER'). This is not a problem if the secuity table contains a 1:1 relationship betwwen users and secured objects , but (as in our case) relathion ship is 1:n query provide "additional wrong rows".
By the moment we have discarded the use of the restriction sets. The effect of putting a dummy column based on the security table may have undesired effects when the condition is not applied.
I don't know if anyone has found how to workaround this matter.

Best way to implement a countdown timer for a turn based LCCS game

Hello,
I am trying to build a turn based game and sketching out the high level map, so I can focus my efforts towards the direction I should be digging.
One thing I have not seen much in the sample apps is how a turn based game is best handled.
For example, a countdown timer. Should it be a shared property? Or a Baton which is supposed to manage workflows and has a timeout property?
Or, should I forget those two, and time this on the server, although if it would become popular keeping track of all the times in the rooms would cost an arm and leg. Would love to hear some best practices on this.

good idea.
Which one or all of them?

Best practice to Deployment Oracle WebCenter Suite for enterpsie

I have a lead with enterprise client; and we need to proposed to this client best practice to deploy high availability on cluster environment contains the following components:
- oracle web center content: it will used for WebCenter portal (spaces) repository for x-trantent portal as well as it will used to build internet website using WCM
- oracle WebCenter portal; to build x-intranet portal
- oracle access manager for single sign on authentication
- oracle web tier for HTTP server and web cache.
i reviewed the enterprise deployment "http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/core.1111/e12037/intro.htm" and contains rich information on the configuration.
However; my question is could you provide us a best practice to deploy above components on a high availability cluster environment "on a Linux environment prefared" to support and tested around 20k users? By the way client already had oracle exadata 11g server and it will used for this deployment.

Any best practice/suggestion on giving Id's for UI Component

Hi,
I came to know that for better performance, id's on naming containers shall be less than 7 characters in length.
What about UI Components other than container components?
Is there any best practice available for giving Id's for UI Components and its length?
Do we face any issue if we give ids with more than 7 characters (just to make the id meaningful one)?
Thanks in Advance
Raguraman

a quotation from
Oracle® Fusion Middleware Performance and Tuning Guide book
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
E10108-02
>
The "id" attribute should not be longer than 7 characters in length. This is
particularly important for naming containers. A long id can impact
performance as the amount of HTML that must be sent down to the
client is impacted by the length of the ids.

Looking for best practices when creating DNS reverse zones for DHCP

Hello,
We are migrating from ISC DHCP to Microsoft DHCP. We would like the DHCP server to automatically update DNS A and PTR records for computers when they get an IP. The question is, what is the best practice for creating the reverse look up zones in DNS? Here
is an example:
10.0.1.0/23
This would give out IPs from 10.0.1.1-10.0.2.254. So with this in mind, do we then create the following reverse DNS zones?:
1.0.10.in-addr.arpa AND 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa
OR do we only create:
0.10.in-addr.arpa And both 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 addresses will get stuffed into those zones.
Or is there an even better way that I haven't thought about? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Base on your description, creating two reverse DNS zones 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa and 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa, or creating one reverse DNS zone 0.10.in-addr.arpa, both methods are all right.
Best Regards,
Tina

Best Practices to update Cascading Picklist mapping for Account record type

1. Most of the existing picklist values name in parent and related picklist has been modified in external app master list, so the same needs to be updated in CRMOD.
2. If we need to update picklist value, do we need to DISABLE the existing value and CREATE a new picklist.
3. Is there any Best Practices to avoid doing Manual Cascading picklist mapping for Account record type? because we have around 500 picklist values to be mapped with parent and related picklist.
Thanks!

Mahesh, I would recommend disabling the existing values and create new ones. This means manually remapping the cascading picklists.

HT201407 I administer 50 phones. Looking for best practices concerning iCloud. This program and my users have made it difficult to reuse phones when persons are terminated.

Several times I have had to chase after terminated employees for iCloud accounts and passwords. It has been a nightmare. How do I remove iCloud accounts from company devices, or better yet, prevent users from creating personal icloud accounts? What are the 'best practices' concerning the use of iCloud?
