Best practices and tips help needed to create animation

Hi There
I am producing my first project in AE and came across this example which is similar to what of which I need to implement in the project.
http://www.lonja.de/wikipen/
(see 8 seconds in on the imagespot video)
My scenario is I need to portray a network of nodes that are all interlinked (and possibly increasing in number, network links and nodes flourishing from spawn points of other nodes portraying that the network is an infinite expandable entity).
Could anyone suggest how I'd create this, point me to tutorials, or let me know what the actual term for that kind of linked kinetic motion is?
The important thing I suppose is how I manage the workflow efficiently. There must be a more effective way than animating 50+ nodes individually, also how would I best tie the network links that connect the nodes (as in the example) so that they follow the nodes wherever they are (this motion can be random).
Any help appreciated
thanks
Matt

What is the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure of placing "FSMO Roles on Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and Additional Domain Controller (ADC)"??

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and have
2 Domain Controllers in my Company:
Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
Additional Domain Controller (ADC)
My (PDC) was down due to Hardware failure, but somehow I got a chance to get it up and transferred
(5) FSMO Roles from (PDC) to (ADC).
Now my (PDC) is rectified and UP with same configurations and settings. (I did not install new OS or Domain Controller in existing PDC Server).
Finally I want it to move back the (FSMO Roles) from
(ADC) to (PDC) to get UP and operational my (PDC) as Primary.
(Before Disaster my PDC had 5 FSMO Roles).
Here I want to know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
In case if Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
Example like (FSMO Roles Distribution between both Servers) should be……. ???
Primary Domain Controller (PDC) Should contains:????
Schema Master
Domain Naming Master
Additional Domain Controller (ADC) Should contains:????
RID
PDC Emulator
Infrastructure Master
Please let me know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles.
I will be waiting for your valuable comments.

Here I want to know the best practice

There is a good article I would like to share with you:http://oreilly.com/pub/a/windows/2004/06/15/fsmo.html
For me, I do not really see a need to have FSMO roles on multiple servers in your case. I would recommend making it simple and have a single DC holding all the FSMO roles.
In case if
Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
No. This is not true. Each FSMO role is unique and if a DC fails, FSMO roles will not be automatically transferred.
There is two approaches that can be followed when an FSMO roles holder is down:
If the DC can be recovered quickly then I would recommend taking no action
If the DC will be down for a long time or cannot be recovered then I would recommend that you size FSMO roles and do a metadata cleanup
Attention! For (2) the old FSMO holder should never be up and online again if the FSMO roles were sized. Otherwise, your AD may be facing huge impacts and side effects.

Coherence Best Practices and Performance

I'm starting to use coherence and I'd to know if someone could point me out some doc on Best Practices and Performance optimizations when using it.
BTW, I haven't had the time to go through the entire Oracle documentation.
Regards

Hi
If you are new to Coherence (or even for people who are not that new) one of the best things you can do is read this book http://www.packtpub.com/oracle-coherence-35/book I know it says Coherence 3.5 and we are currently on 3.7 but it is still very relevant.
You don't need to go through all the documentation but at least try the introductions and try out some of the examples. You need to know the basics otherwise it makes it harder for people to either understand what you want or give you detailed enough answers to questions.
For performance optimizations it depends a lot on your use cases and what you are doing; there are a number of things you can do with Coherence to help performance but as with anything there are trade-offs. Coherence on the server-side is a Java process and often when tuning, sorting out issues and performance I spend a lot of time with the usual tools for Java such as VisualVM (or JConsole), tuning GC, looking at thread dumps and stack traces.
Finally, there are plenty of people on these forums happy to answer your questions in return for a few forum points, so just ask.

Best Practices and Usage of Streamwork?

Hi All -
Is this Forum a good place to inquire about best practices and use of Streamwork? I am not a developer working with the APIs, but rather have setup a Streamwork Activity for my team to collaborate on our activities.
We are thinking about creating a sort of FAQ on our team activity and I was thinking of using either a table or a collection for this. I want it to be easy for team members to enter the question and the answer (our team gets a lot of questions from many groups and over time I would like to build up a sort of knowledge base).
Does anyone have any suggestions for such a concept in StreamWork? Has anyone done something like this and can share experiences?
Please let me know if I should post this question in another place.
Thanks and regards,
Rob Stevenson

Activities have a limit of 200 items that can be included. If this is the venue you wish to use, it might be better to use a table rather than individual notes/discussions.

Quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation.

Hi all,
I have a quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation for FT, NFS, ISCSI, VM traffic etc. I get that its best practice to try and separate traffic where you can and especially for things like FT however I just wondered if there was a preferred method to achieving this. What I mean is ...
- Is it OK to have everything on one switch but set each respective portgroup to having a primary and failover NIC i.e FT, ISCSI and all the others failover (this would sort of give you a backup in situations where you have limited physical NICs.
- Or should I always aim to separate things entirely with their own respective NICs and their own respective switches?
During the VCAP exam for example (not knowing in advance how many physical NIC's will be available to me) how would I know which stuff I should segregate on its own separate switch? Is there some sort of ranking order of priority /importance? FT for example I would rather not stick on its own dedicated switch if I could only afford to give it a single NICs since this to me seems like a failover risk.

I know the answer to this probably depends on however many physical NICs you have at your disposal however I wondered if there are any golden 100% rules for example FT must absolutely be on its own switch with its own NICs even at the expence of reduced resiliency should the absolute worst happen? Obviously I know its also best practice to seperate NICs by vender and hosts by chassis and switch etc

Help Needed in Creating Java Class and Java Stored Procedures

Hi,
Can anyone tell how can i create Java Class, Java Source and Java Resource in Oracle Database.
I have seen the Documents. But i couldn't able to understand it correctly.
I will be helpful when i get some Examples for creating a Java Class, Java Source and Stored Procedures with Java with details.
Is that possible to Create a Java class in the oracle Database itself ?.
Where are the files located for the existing Java Class ?..
Help Needed Please.
Thanks,
Murali.v

Hi Murali,
Heres a thread which discussed uploading java source file instead of runnable code on to the database, which might be helpful :
Configure deployment to a database to upload the java file instead of class
The files for the java class you created in JDev project is located in the myworks folder in jdev, eg, <jdev_home>\jdev\mywork\Application1\Project1\src\project1
Hope this helps,
Sunil..

Help Needed For Creating A Game

Hi, I recently decided to make a MMORPG.A game people will enjoy and have fun, I would of course keep it free sense I have play many games that cost 5-15 dollars a month.I have many creative ideas, but I need someone to show me the ropes and teach me how to use Java and i currently looking for a site to download it at.If anyone would care to teach me how to use this or would like to help me create this game(Medievil type game, Swords armor gold houses dragonslaying and plenty more) post here or send me a pm and we can talk more private.
I need:
*A site to download the best possiable Java console
*Helpful tutorial sites
*Or any other sites or tips you think i should know.
Extra Info On Me:
I dont know if this matters or not probably doesnt but I know how to handle and make a site, ive had some dbz rpgs back in the day(kinda rusty but i can manage).
Some more recent information:
I tried game maker and that doesnt seem to helpful.It would only be helpful if I played them 20 bucks which I am not going to do.
Also i am downloading now JS2E 5.0 for Java.
I am stilling waiting on some type of input or even a mentor.

Hi there!
I'm not really a game programmer.. but here's some links anyway.
Someone pointed out this tutorial to me, and I think it is worthwhile:
http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/~ad/jg/
It has stuff on Java 3D, networking, games for mobile phones/PDAs, isometric tile games, etc. It also has an appendix on loaders and Java Web Start.
Also, if you want to create 3D games, you might want to check out
http://www.3dcafe.com/asp/freestuff.asp
They have free 3D models in various formats.
For more 3D links and tutorials try:
http://www.3dlinks.com/
For a 3D tool, I like Anim8or. That it's free helps a lot ;)
http://www.anim8or.com/
And... ms paint!?! You will not be able to draw decent graphics with that. Adobe Photoshop Elements is a nice, low-cost program for 2D images.
There are lots of sites devoted to java game programming. Try the google. Love the google. Google is your friend. ;)

Best practice for copying help...

I am creating a webhelp project to be accessed from an internal homegrown intranet app(by clicking on a help button within the app it fires up the help screens in a new window).... I published the help out to a network share however now in testing opening this from my app it takes a long time to fire up the new window...
Is there a best practice for this type of scenario?? Do I need a way to copy the help project down locally for each user? If so what is the best technique being that they are accessing the help in a webapp not a winapp?
Thanks!

Hi there
Typically you leave WebHelp on a server and access it from wherever. That's the beauty of it.
You might begin by creating a simple shortcut or hyperlink from your desktop to open the help. Check the time it takes. If it opens really fast, you know there is an issue to be addressed with the way your application is opening it.
Cheers... Rick

Music on Hold: Best Practice and site assignment

Hi guys,
I have a client with multiple sites, a large number of remote workers (on and off domain) and Lync Phone Edition devices.
We want to deploy a custom music on hold file. What's the best way of doing this? I'm thinking
Placing the file on a share on one of the Lync servers. However this would mean (I assume) that clients will always try to contact the UNC path every time a call is placed on hold, which would result in site B connecting to site A for it's MoH file. This
is very inefficient and adds delay onto placing a call on hold. If accessing the file from a central share is best practice, how could I do this per site? Site policies I've tried haven't worked very well. For example, if a file is on
\\serverB\MoH\file.wma for a site called "London Site" what commands do I need to run to create a policy that will force clients located at a site to use that UNC path? Also, how do client know what site
they are in?
Alternatively, I was thinking of pushing out the WMA file to local devices via a Group Policy, and then setting Lync globally to point to %systemdrive%\MoH\file.wma. Again, how do I go about doing this? Also, what would happen to LPE devices that wouldn't
have the file (as they wouldn't get the GPO)?
Any help with this would be appreciated. Particularly around how users are assigned to sites, and the syntax used to create a site policy for the first option. Any best practice guidance would be great!
Thanks - Steve

Hi StevehootMITS,
If Lync Phone Edition or other device that doesn’t provide endpoint MOH, you can use PSTN Gateways to provide music on hold. For more information about Music On Hold, you can check

Help needed to create Quik Time VR movies, step by step

Hello,
thank you for your attenction.
I need to create Quick time vr movies, and I need to know the exact sequance of steeps to do it, and if the starting point I use is correct.
1) I shooted a sequence of photos with my digital camera (for example: www.stebianchi.com/quicktimevrhelp/still-photo.jpg).
2) Then, with photoshop (CS4) I choose: Automate/photomerge and I select all them to joint them in a bigger 360° panoramic one (www.stebianchi.com/quicktimevrhelp/pan.jpg). If, untill here, all is correct, the first question: in photoshop Photomerge layout option, do I have to choose one voice "auto, perspective, cylindrical, spherical, etc..." rather than anoter one of these?
3) from here, I really need your help.
First of all: the great doubt:
My photos can not cover a spherical panorama, they're only a "ring" around a center (and not a spherical texture). To cover all the surface (or almost all, ok...) of my ambient, do I have to use a wider lens on my camera or there is a different solution (for ex a vertical photomerge?).
4) Done this, I think I shuold buy a software like Cubic converter, to set and export the QTVR movie. Right?
Thanks a lot guys,
all the best!
Stefano

You can call your local apple store(find one on the home page of apple.com) and they will give you instructions how to convert DVD to iPod. That is what they told me, but from what I heard, you may need more than Quicktime Pro. Just call and ask them, because if you make a manual of how to do it, it could help me a lot.
(I'm looking for a good DVD converter, already know some, beside the internet download ones)

Best practice for application help for a custom screen?

Hi,
The system is Netweaver 7.0 SP 15 with e-recruiting .
We have some custom SAP GUI transactions and have written Word documents with screen prints and explanations. I would like to make the procedure document accessible from the custom transaction or at least provide custom help text that includes a link to the full documents.
Can anyone help me out with options and best practices for providing customized application help for custom SAP GUI transactions?
Thanks,
Margaret

Hello Margaret,
sorry I though you might be still in a design or proof of concept phase where the decision for the technology is still adjustable.
If the implementation is already done things change of course. The standard in-system documentation is surely not fitting your needs as including screenshots won't work well.
I would solve the task the following way:
I'd make a web or pdf document out of the word document and put it on a web ressource - as you run e-recruiting you have probably the possibility for that.
I would then just put a button into the transaction an open a web container to show the document.
I am not sure if this solution really qualifies as "best practise" but SAP does the same if you call the Help for application in the help menue. This is implemented in function module SAPGUIHC_OPEN_HELP_CENTER. I'd just copy it, throw out what I do not need and hard code the url to call.
Perhaps someone could offer a better solution but I think this works a t least without exxagerated costs.
Kind Regards
Roman

Real time logging: best practices and questions ?

I've 4 couples of DS 5.2p6 in MMR mode on Windows 2003.
Each server is configured with the default setting of "nsslapd-accesslog-logbuffering" enabled, and the log files are stored on a local file system, then later centrally archived thanks to a log sender daemon.
I've now a requirement from a monitoring tool (used to establish correlations/links/events between applications) to provide the directory
server access logs in real time.
At a first glance, each directory generates about 1,1 Mb of access log per second.
1)
I'd like to know if there're known best practices / experiences in such a case.
2)
Also, should I upgrade my DS servers to benefit from any log management related feature ? Should I think about using an external disk
sub-sytem (SAN, NAS ....) ?
3)
In DS 5.2, what's the default access logbuffering policy : is there a maximum buffer size and/or time limit before flushing to disk ? Is it configurable ?

Usually log-buffering should be enabled. I don't know of any customers who turn it off. Even if you do, I guess it should be after careful evaluation in your environment. AFAIK, there is no configurable limit for buffer size or time limit before it is committed to disk
Regarding faster disks, I had the bright idea that you could creating a ramdisk and set the logs to go there instead of disk. Let's say the ramdisk is 2gb max in size and you receive about 1MB/sec in writes. Say max-log-size is 30MB. You can schedule a job to run every minute that copies over the newly rotated file(s) from ramdisk to your filesystem and then send it over to logs HQ. If the server does crash, you'll lose upto a minute of logs. Of course, the data disappears after reboot, so you'll need to manage that as well. Sounds like fun to try but may not be practical.

I should ask, how realtime should this log correlation be?

ASAP methodology is one methodlogy used in implementing SAP .
The ASAP methodology adheres to a specific road map that addresses the following five general Phases:
Project Preparation, in which the project team is identified and mobilized, the project Standards are defined, and the project work environment is set up;
Blueprint, in which the business processes are defined and the business blueprint document is designed;
Realization, in which the system is configured, knowledge transfer occurs, extensive unit testing is completed, and data mappings and data requirements for migration are defined;
Final Preparation, in which final integration testing, stress testing, and conversion testing are conducted, and all end users are trained; and
Go-Live and Support, in which the data is migrated from the legacy systems, the new system are activated, and post-implementation support is provided.
ASAP incorporates standard design templates and accelerators covering every functional area within the system, as well as supporting all implementation processes. Complementing the ASAP accelerators, the project manager can create a comprehensive project plan, covering the overall project, project staffing plan, and each sub-process such as system testing, communication and data migration. Milestones are set for every work path, and progress is carefully tracked by the project management team.
Hope it will help you.

IronPort best practices and configuration guide

Hi there,
I manage a Cisco IronPort ESA appliance for my organisation and made a quick blog post last night about things I thought should be a best practice for a new ESA appliance.
The reason I wrote this is because some of these things are not configured from the start or are configured poorly by default.
Take a look and let me know what you think - I plan to make a part 2 because there are some things I did not have time to go through and it was quite long already!
Remember that your environment will be different from mine so you should understand the things I say before blindly implementing them!

First of all, I think your question is related to the WebCenter (Framework) as such, not just OUCSS.
As for JDev. vs. run-time, this question is well discussed in Yannick Ongena's tutorial: http://www.yonaweb.be/webcenter_tutorial/part1_configure_webcenter_portal_application
"Let me first talk a bit about the architecture of WebCenter and the runtime customizations. ADF (and WebCenter) has an additional component since 11g called the MDS (MetaDataServices). The MDS is a repository that stores all the customizations. The page we just created at runtime is not stored in the project folder of JDeveloper but is instead stored in the MDS."
I guess the answer when to use which methods depends on the situation what page you want to create.
I am surprised, however, that you state that
Pages created in JDeveloper are not searchable online. It is possible to link it to a Navigation Model but the path needs to be manually entered.Could you elaborate on your use case?
As for navigation models, you can check another tutorial: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_navigation.htm#BABJHFCE
Maybe, what your are looking for is the way how to create a navigation model according to your needs?
