Best Practices - Enforcing the review of  Firefighter Logs/Reports

Hi,
I am looking for some best practices as it pertains to the review of Firefighter Usage Logs.  How are companies these days reviewing, documenting, and enforcing that system generated FF logs/reports are indeed being reviewed and monitored?  Anything you can share is greatly appreciated.
I have seached the GRC forum, Firefighter Post, and reviewed the recently released "Super User Access" article, but have only found information on the tool's functionality and technical specs.
Regards,

Hi,
  There is no standard or best practices in enforcing the review of FF logs and reports. Every client/company plan their own strategy around this.
One of my client used to ask every controller to print out and file the printed paper with their signature on it. They were required to keep this for a year or so. Another client asked them to print it to pdf and save it to a secure location which will mean they have reviewed this log. If there is any issue, it will be the responsibility of the particular FF controller.

  • What are the best practices for the RCU's schemas

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is some best practices about the RCU's schemas created with BIEE.
    I already have discoverer (and application server), so I have a metadata repository for the Application Server. I will upgrade Discoverer 10g to 11, so I will create new schema with RCU in my metada repository (MR) of the Application Server. I'm wondering if I can put the BIEE's RCU schemas in the same database.
    Basically,
    1. is there a standard for the PREFIX ?
    2. If I have multiple components of Fusion in the same Database, I will have multiples PREFIX_MDS schema ? Can they have the same PREFIX ? Or They all need to have a different prefix ?
    For exemple: DISCO_MDS and BIEE_MDS or I can have DEV_MDS and this schema is valid for both Discoverer and BIEE.
    Thank you !

    What are the best practices for exception handling in n-tier applications?
    The application is a fat client based on MVVM pattern with
    .NET framework.
    That would be to catch all exceptions at a single point in the n-tier solution, log it and create user friendly messages displayed to the user.

  • Best practice for the test environment  &  DBA plan Activities    Documents

    Dears,,

    ( Is there any recommendations from Oracle related to this , any PDF files help me ............ )
    Also please , Can I have a detail document regarding the DBA plan activities?
    I appreciate your help and advise

    Follow your build document for the same steps you used to build production.
    You should know where all your code is. You can use the deployment manager to export your configurations. Export customized files from MDS. Just follow the process again, and you will have a clean instance not containing production data.
    It only takes a lot of time if your client is lacking documentation or if you re not familiar with all the parts of the environment. What's 2-3 hours compared to all the issues you will run into if you copy databases or import/export schemas?

    1. The intial steps starts with raising purchase order for the consignment item
    2. The vendor recieves the purchase order.
    3. GR happens for the consignment material.
    4. Stocks are recieved and placed under consignment stock.
    5. When ever we issue to prodn or if we transfer post(using mov 411) from consignment to own stock then liability occurs.
    6. Finally comes the settlement using mrko. You settle the amount for the goods which was consumed during a specific period.

  • Question - Best practice data source for Vs2008 and Crystal Reports 2008

    I have posted a question here
    CR2008 using data from .NET data provider (ADO.NET DATASET from a .DLL)
    but think that perhaps I need general community advise on best practice with data sources.
    In Crystal reports I can choose the data source location from any number of connection types, eg ado.net(xml), com, oledb, odbc.
    Now in regard to the post, the reports have all been created in Crxi 6.3, upgraded to Crystal XI and now Im using the latest and greatest. I wrote the Crystal Reports 6.3/ XI reports back in the day to do the following: The Reports use a function from COM Object which returns an ADO recordset which is then consumed fine.
    So I don't want to rewrite all these reports, of which there are many.
    I would like to know if any developers are actually using .NET Class libraries to return ADO.NET datasets via the method call or if you are connecting directly to XML data via whatever source ( disk, web service, http request etc).
    I have not been able to eliminate the problem listed in the post mentioned above, which is that the Crystal Report is calling the .NET class library method twice before displaying the data. I have confirmed this by debugging the class lib.
    So any guidance or tips is appreciated.
    Thanks

    This is already being discuss in one of your other threads. Let's close this one out and concentrate on the one I've already replied to.

  • Firefighter Log Report-Wrong entries being shown

    Hi all,

    described in notes n°:
    - 1064911 Firefighter Log Report-Wrong entries being shown
    - 1152284 Firefighter Log Report-Wrong entries being shown with
    dates
    The solutions described in these notes are not valid for my SAP
    release:

    Does someone know if are available the same corrections for my SAP FF Rel.?
    Thanks in advance,
    Claudio Orsi

    Hi Claudio,
    Not sure if this helps any....
    We recently upgraded FF 5.2 (520_620) to current SP levels and experienced some issues with the reporting feature
    We utilize the reports through the NetWeaver interface and were not receiving correct results; this happened after we went from SP 3 to SP 4
    We have backed out the SP4 level to get back to "what was working"; we have an issue opened with SAP and they have identified our experience as a bug and plan on a fix with the next release scheduled for end of June
    Are you experiencing report issues using the NetWeaver interface or the backend report tools? What is the SP level you are at?
    This information on our experience may or may not be helpfull but anything can be of some value as long as it is mentioned

  • Import data from excel file - best practice in the CQ?

    Hi,

    You can check a working example package [1] (use your Adobe ID to log in)
    After installing it, go to [2] for immediate example.
    Unfortunately it only supports the old OLE-2 Excel format (.xls and not .xlsx)

  • BEST PRACTICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF REPORTS CLUSTER

    Hi,
    i've read the noter reports_gueide_to_changed_functionality on OTN.
    On Page 5 ist stated that reports cluster is deprecated.
    Snippet:
    Oracle Application Server High Availability provides the industry’s most
    reliable, resilient, and fault-tolerant application server platform. Oracle
    Reports’ integration with OracleAS High Availability makes sure that your
    enterprise-reporting environment is extremely reliable and fault-tolerant.
    Since using OracleAS High Availability provides a centralized clustering
    mechanism and several cutting-edge features, Oracle Reports clustering is now
    deprecated.
    Please can anyone tell me, what is the best practice to replace reports cluster.
    It's really annoying that the clustering technology is changing in every version of reports!!!
    martin

    hello,
    in reality, reports server "clusters" was more a load balancing solution that a clustering (no shared queue or cache). since it is desirable to have one load-balancing/HA approach for the application server, reports server clustering is deprecated in 10gR2.
    we understand that this frequent change can cause some level of frustration, but it is our strong believe that unifying the HA "attack plan" for all of the app server components will utimatly benefit custoemrs in simpifying their topologies.
    the current best practice is to deploy LBRs (load-balancing routers) with sticky-routing capabilites to distribute requests across middletier nodes in an app-server cluster.
    several custoemrs in high-end environments have already used this kind of configuration to ensure optimal HA for their system.
    thanks,

  • Best Practice for the database owner of an SAP database.

    We recently had a user account removed from our SAP system when this person left the agency.  The account was associated with the SAP database (he created the database a couple of years ago). 
    I'd like to change the owner of the database to <domain>\<sid>adm  (ex: XYZ\dv1adm)  as this is the system admin account used on the host server and is a login for the sql server.  I don't want to associate the database with another admin user as that will change over time.
    What is the best practice for database owner for and SAP database?
    Thanks
    Laurie McGinley

    Hi Laura
    I'm not sure if this is best practise or not, but I've always had the SA user as the owner of the database. It just makes it easier for restores to other systems etc.

  • Best practice for the use of reserved words

    Hi,
    What is the best practice to observe for using reserved words as column names.
    For example if I insisted on using the word comment for a column name by doing the following:
    CREATE TABLE ...
    "COMMENT" VARCHAR2(4000),
    What impact down the track could I expect and what problems should I be aware of when doing something like this?
    Thank You
    Ben

    For example if I insisted on using the word comment for a column name by doing the following:
    CREATE TABLE ...
    "COMMENT" VARCHAR2(4000),
    What impact down the track could I expect and what problems should I be aware of when doing something like this?Using reserved words as identifiers is asking for trouble. You can expect to get what you ask for.
    Whatever benefits you may get from naming the column COMMENT rather than, say, CMNT or EMP_COMMENT (if the table is called EMP) will be insignificant compared to the extra debugging you will certainly need.

  • Best practice for the Update of SAP GRC CC Rule Set

    Hi GRC experts,
    We have in a CC production system a SoD matrix that we would like to modified extensively. Basically by activating many permissions.
    Which is a best practice for accomplish our goal?
    Many thanks in advance. Best regards,
      Imanol

    Hi Simon and Amir
    My name is Connie and I work at Accenture GRC practice (and a colleague of Imanolu2019s). I have been reading this thread and I would like to ask you a question that is related to this topic. We have a case where a Global Rule Set u201CLogic Systemu201D and we may also require to create a Specific Rule Set. Is there a document (from SAP or from best practices) that indicate the potential impact (regarding risk analysis, system performance, process execution time, etc) caused by implementing both type of rule sets in a production environment? Are there any special considerations to be aware? Have you ever implemented this type of scenario?
    I would really appreciate your help and if you could point me to specific documentation could be of great assistance. Thanks in advance and best regards,

  • Best Practice: Executing the same code from different triggers

    Swing supports the idea of Actions, which seems to be an implementation of the "Command" pattern. One can create an instance of an Action implementation and set it to several JComponents, like JButton and JMenuItem. Whenever the button or the menu item is triggered, the action gets executed. So far, so good.
    But there are more triggers in Swing that cannot get configured to trigger an action, namely Drops and pressing the window's [X] Close icon. Certainly these fire events, but they do not automatically trigger actions.
    Certainly one can react to importData(TransferSupport) and windowClosing() by manually calling the action's actionPerformed(ActionEvent) method, but as there is no setAction(Action) method at neither the TransferHandler class nor the WindowAdapter class, the question is: Where to take that Action instance from, and what command name to pass to it's constructor, and what to provide as the event source?
    It just seems like the Action framework has a gap here, as it nicely covers these questions for JComponents, but not for JFrame and JDialog.
    So unless there are JFrame.setDropAction(Action) and JFrame.setCloseAction(Action) methods added to the Swing framework (and I doubt they will get added any time near), my question is whether there have been establed some widely accepted best practices (i. e. something that 75% of the programmers will do, not something ONE programmer always does but just he does). Any Swing expert here answering this?

    The window decorations are handled by the OS. That [X] close button isn't a JButton at all.
    JFrame's and JDialog's, however, do have a root panes. And you can ask the root pane to take over window decorations via JFrame#setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true). JDialog has a similar method. When the root pane takes over window decorations, then the [X] icon is a JButton and you could, in theory, set its action to an Action object.
    The the metal LAF window decorations, however, are ugly (I think at least) and I'm not sure how many programs actually use it.
