    A workflow best practices document targeted more towards System Administrators is published. Please read metalink note 453137.1. Please note that this is not a troubleshooting guide. This is more of a practices that can lead to a healthier workflow system.
    Any suggestions/improvements from the field is welcome.

  • Best practices for E-Business R12 WAN Deployment

    Hi
    Can anyone point me in the direction of a best practices for deployment of Oracle E-Biz R12 (12.1.3) over a WAN.
    We will be using F5 routing for the web servers (multi tier) and a port expeditor routine.
    What I am hoping to plan for is security and speed.
    Anyone got any experience in this type fo deployment?

  • Best practices for an oracle application upgrade

    Hello,
    We have an enterprise application deployed on Oracle Weblogic and connecting to an Oracle database (11g).
    The archive is versioned and we are using Weblogic's feature to upgrade to new versions and retire old versions.
    In a case of emergency when we need to rollback an upgrade, the job is really easy on Weblogic but not the same on Oracle DB.
    For most of our releases, the release package is an ear plus some database scripts.
    Releases are deployed with minimum downtime, so while we are releasing our clients are still writing to the DB.
    In case of a rollback is needed, we need to make sure the changes we made to the DB structure (Views, SP, Tables...) are reverted but data inserted by clients stayed intact.
    Correct me if I am wrong, but Flashback and RMAN TSPITR are not the good options here.
    What other people usually do in similar cases? What are best practices and deployment plans for our case?
    Guides and direction are welcomed.
    Thanks!

    Hi Magnus
    I guess you have to install again to ensure no problems. BP installation also involves ensuring correct SP levels (cannot be higher) for all software components.

  • What are best practices for rolling out cluster upgrade?

    Hello,
    I am looking for your input on the approaches to implement Production RAC upgrade without having a spare instance of RAC servers. We have a 2-node database RAC 11.1 on Production. We are planning to upgrade to 11.2 but only have a single database that the pre-Production integration can be verified on. Our concern is that the integration may behave differently on RAC vs. the signle database instance. How everybody else approaches this problem?

    you want to test RAC upgrade on NON RAC database. If you ask me that is a risk but it depends on may things
    Application configuration - If your application is configured for RAC, FAN etc. you cannot test it on non RAC systems
    Cluster upgrade - If your standalone database is RAC one node you can probably test your cluster upgrade there. If you have non RAC database then you will not be able to test cluster upgrade or CRS
    Database upgrade - There are differences when you upgrade RAC vs non RAC database which you will not be able to test
    I think the best way for you is to convert your standalone database to RAC one node database and test it. that will take you close to multi node RAC

  • Best practices for cleaning up and upgrading

    Apologies in advance, as I know there is a wealth of info and ideas on this topic, but I'm looking for the best possible combination of simplicity and effectiveness and the community has done well by me in the past.

    This machine is running very very slowly, and not much hard disk space left.  I'm not doing very well at cleaning up.
    I have brand new Time Machine backup and I have some pretty old Time Machine backups, pre Mavericks.
    I have a new 2TB external drive.
    I'm looking for the most effective way to speed this one up and make it as lean as possible and, if advisable, upgrade to Yosemite.
    Any recommendations?
    I'm willing to spend a little money if it can make a substantial difference.
    Thanks and apologies for length of post.

    Hi,
    First thanks for this.  This application has been really helpful.  I've deleted a lot of the easy stuff (music, pics, videos) and am now getting down to some of the stuff I'm less comfortable whacking without some guidance.  Here's an example.  I don't use the Mail application at all (use Gmail).  Here is what I see on OmniDisk Sweeper:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/6iedkj46u4jaxbf/Screenshot%202014-11-08%2010.26.33.png ?dl=0
    I think the bulk of this is just messages from my gmail account, from a failed attempt to use Mail a bit years ago.  So can you help with at which point I can delete?  Hope question make sense.  You've helped a lot so far and I've freed up about 45 gb so far.

  • Best practice for Java stand alone upgrade into maint org area?

    I have a Java standalone running EP 6.0 on SAP netweaver 04 at SP 20.
    I want to upgrade to SAP Netweaver 2004s.  I think the equivalent of SPS 20 of NW 04 in NW 2004s is SPS 11 (ie all the SCAs are named *11...).
    NW 2004s SPS 11 download requires use of maintenance_organizer.
    Does this mean I should change the SMSY definition of my java solution to reflect SAP Netweaver 2004s now, rather than after I actually upgrade, even though the upgrade may be several weeks away?
    Is changing the SMSY def the only way to get the SPS 11 media? 
    I am currently in the process of collecting all of the media required for a sucessful upgrade.
    Thx

    Suggestions reordered to suit my reply..
    kevjava wrote: 2. Line numbering, and/or a line counter so you can see how much scrolling you're going to be imposing on the forum readers.
    Good idea, and since the line count is only a handful of lines of code to implement, I took that option. See the [line count|http://pscode.org/stbc/help.html#linecount] section of the (new) [STBC Help|http://pscode.org/stbc/help.html] page for more details. (Insert plaintiff whining about the arbitrary limits set - here).
    I considered adding line length checking, but the [Text Width Checker|http://pscode.org/twc/] ('sold separately') already has that covered, and I would prefer to keep this tool more specific to compilation, which leads me to..
    kevjava wrote: 1. A button to run the code, to see that it demonstrates the problem that you wish for the forum to solve...
    Interesting idea, but I think that is better suited to a more full blown (but still relatively simple) GUId compiler. I am not fully decided that running a class is unsuited to STBC, but I am more likely to implement a clickable list of compilation errors, than a 'run' button.
    On the other hand I am thinking the clickable error list is also better suited to an altogether more abled compiler, so don't hold your breath to see either in the STBC.
    You might note I have not bothered to update the screenshots to show the line count label. That is because I am still considering error lists and running code, and open to further suggestion (not because I am just slack!). If the screenshots update to include the line count but nothing else, take that as a sign. ;-)
    Thanks for your ideas. The line count alone is worth a few Dukes.

  • Best practice for upgrading task definition without deleting task instances

    best practice for upgrading task definition in production system without deleting or terminating task instances
    If I try and update a task definition with task instances running I get the following error:
    Task definition 'My Task - Add User' may not be modified while there are active task instances
    Is there a best practice to handle this. I tried to force an update through the console but that didn't work. I tried editing the task from the debug page and got the same error.

    1) Rename the original task definition.
    2) Upload the new task definition with the original name.
    3) Later, after all the running tasks have timed out, delete the old definition.
    E.g., if your task definition is "myWorkflow":
    1) Rename "myWorkflow" to "myWorkflow-old-2009-07-28"
    2) Upload the new task definition as "myWorkflow".
    Existing tasks will stay linked to the original (renamed) workflow definition.
    New tasks will use the new definition.
    As the previous poster notes, depending on the changes you are making, letting the old task definitions stay active could have bad side-effects and might be better avoided.

  • SAP Best Practice For Unicode Upgrades - NetWeaver 2004s

    Team SAP,
    I have a customer that is starting to plan for a Unicode upgrade.  The question from the customer is as follows:
    What is the SAP Best Practice for Unicode Upgrades?  They will be upgrading from a BW 3.5 System to NetWeaver 2004s, and their question is ... should they:
       a) Perform the Unicode Upgrade At The Same Time As Their BW 3.5 > NetWeaver 2004s Upgrade, or
       b) Perform NetWeaver 2004s Upgrade first, and then at a later date, perform the Unicode Upgrade?
    Thank you in advance for any guidance or counsel you may be able to offer.

  • Best practices for setting up users on a small office network?

    Hello,
    I am setting up a small office and am wondering what the best practices/steps are to setup/manage the admin, user logins and sharing privileges for the below setup:

    Thanks for your posting.
    When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.

  • What are the best practices for using the enhancement framework?

    Hello enhancement framework experts,
    Recently, my company upgraded to SAP NW 7.1 EhP6.  This presents us with the capability to use the enhancement framework.
    A couple of senior programmers were asked to deliver a guideline for use of the framework.  They published the following statement:
    "SAP does not guarantee the validity of the enhancement points in future releases/versions. As a result, any implemented enhancement points may require significant work during upgrades. So, enhancement points should essentially be used as an alternative to core modifications, which is a rare scenario.".
    I am looking for confirmation or contradiction to the statement  "SAP does not guarantee the validity of enhancement points in future releases/versions..." .  Is this a true statement for both implicit and explicit enhancement points?
    Is the impact of activated explicit and implicit enhancements much greater to an SAP upgrade than BAdi's and user exits?
    Is there any SAP published guidelines/best practices for use of the enhancement framework?
    Thank you,
    Kimberly

  • Best practice for migrating IDOCs?

    Subject: Best practice for migrating IDOC's? 
    Hi,
    I need to migrate some IDOC's to another system for 'historical reference'.
    However, I don't want to move them using the regular setup as I don't want the inbound processing to be triggered.
    The data that was created in the original system by the processed IDOC's will be migrated to the new system using migration workbench. I only need to migrate the IDOC's as-is due to legal requirements.
    What is the best way to do this? I can see three solutions:
    A) Download IDOC table contents to a local file and upload them in the new system. Quick and dirty approach, but it might also be a bit risky.
    B) Use LSMW. However, I'm not sure whether this is feasible for IDOC's.
    C) Using ALE and setting up a custom partner profile where inbound processing only writes the IDOC's to the database. Send the IDOC's from legacy to the new system. Using standard functionality in this way seems to me to be the best solution, but I need to make sure that the IDOC's once migration will get the same status as they had in the old system.
    Any help/input will be appreciated
    Regards
    Karl Johan
    PS. For anyone interested in the business case: Within EU the utility market was deregulated a few years ago, so that any customer can buy electricity from any supplier. When a customer switches supplier this is handled via EDI, in SAP using ALE and IDOC's. I'm working on a merger between two utility companies and for legal reasons we need to move the IDOC's. Any other data is migrated using migration workbench for IS-U.

    - there are best practice in order to copy this applications from an environment to another environment (another client)
    - there are best practice in case the client has got a newer version of SAP BPC (they should install the 7.5, while we're still stucked with the 7.0).
