Best practices for CF app deployment?

Hello, fellow CF users.
Do any of you have procedures you follow to deploy your CF apps? Our Software Quality person is really eager for us to provide a very simple build procedure ... for example, a "make .car file starting with source control" procedure.
Has anyone thought through this problem and created a nice makefile or build.xml to do this? (Is there something obvious in the documentation that I'm missing?)
We use subversion, Linux, cfmx7 behind Apache, migrating to cf9 when it's ready.
Thanks in advance!

The book "Adobe ColdFusion 8 Advanced Application Development" by Ben Forta has some information on using archive files for deployment using the CF administrator.

What are best practice for packaging and deploying j2EE apps to iAS?

We've been running a set of J2EE applications on a pair of iAS SP1b for about a year and it has been quite stable.
Recently however we have had a number of LDAP issues, particularly when registering and unregistering applications (registering ear files sometimes fails 1st time but may work 2nd time). Also We've noticed very occasionally that old versions of classes sometimes find their way onto our machines.
What is considered to be best practice in terms of packaging and deployment, specifically:
1) Packaging - using the deployTool that comes with iAS6 SP1b to package is a big manual task, especially when you have 200+ jsp files. Are people out there using this or are they scripting it with a build tool such as Ant?
2) Deploying an existing application to multiple iAS's. Are you guys unregistering old application then reregistering new application? Are you shutting down iAS whilst doing the deployment?
3) Deploying ear files can take 5 to 10 mins, is this normal?
4) In a clustered scenario where HTTPSession is shared what are the consequences of doing deployments to data stored in session?
thanks in asvance for your replies

You may want to consider upgrading your application server environment to a newer service pack. There are numerous enhancements involving the deployment tool and run time layout of your application that make clear where you're application is loading its files from.
If you've at a long running application server environment, with lots of deployments under your belt, you might start to notice slow downs in deployment and kjs start time. Generally this is due to garbage collecting in your iAS registry.
You can do several things to resolve this. The most complete solution is to reinstall the application server. This will guarantee a clean ldap registry. Of course you've got to restablish your configurations and redeploy your applications. When done, backup your application server install space with the application server and directory server off. You can use this backup to return to a known configuation at some future time.
For the second method: <B>BE CAREFUL - BACKUP FIRST</B>
There is a more exhaustive solution that involves examining your deployed components to determine the active GUIDS. You then search the NameTrans section of the registry searching for Applogic Servlet *, and Bean * entries that represent your previously deployed components but are represented in the set of deployed GUIDs. Record these older GUIDs, remove them from ClassImp and ClassDef. Finally remove the older entries from NameTrans.
Best practices for deployment depend on your particular environmental needs. Many people utilize ANT as a build tool. In later versions of the application server, complete ANT scripts are included that address compiling, assembly and deployment. Ant 1.4 includes iAS specific targets and general J2EE targets. There are iAS specific targets that can be utilized with the 1.3 version. Specialized build targets are not required however to deploy to iAS.
Newer versions of the deployment tool allow you to specify that JSPs are not to be registered automatically. This can be significant if deployment times lag. Registered JSP's however benefit more fully from the services that iAS offers.
2) In general it is better to undeploy then redeploy. However, if you know that you're not changing GUIDs, recreating an existing application with new GUIDs, or removing registered components, you may avoid the undeploy phase.
If you shut down the KJS processes during deployment you can eliminate some addition workload on the LDAP server which really gets pounded during deployment. This is because the KJS processes detect changes and do registry loads to repopulate their caches. This can happen many times during a deployment and does not provide any benefit.
3) Deploying can be a lengthy process. There have been improvements in that performance from service pack to service pack but unfortunately you wont see dramatic drops in deployment times.
One thing you can do to reduce deployment times is to understand the type of deployment. If you have not manipulated your deployment descriptors in any way, then there is no need to deploy. Simply drop your newer bits in to the run time space of the application server. In later service packs this means exploding the package (ear,war, or jar) in to the appropriate subdirectory of the APPS directory.
4) If you've changed the classes of objects that have been placed in HTTPSession, you may find that you can no longer utilize those objects. For that reason, it is suggested that objects placed in session be kept as simple as possible in order to minimize this effect. In general however, is not a good idea to change a web application during the life span of a session.

Lun Size best practice for UC apps and VMWare?

Hi,
We have UCS manager v2.1 with FI 6248 direct FC attached to NetApp with plenty of storage.
Per following doc, Lun size for UC apps should be 500GB - 1.5TB and 4 to 8 VMs per Lun.
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Storage_System_Design_Requirements#Best_Practices_for_Storage_Array_LUNs_for_Unified_Communications_Applications
We have four B200M3 blades and 3 to 4 UC apps (CUCM, Unity, UCCX) will be hosted on each blade. May add more VM the blades in the future.
I am thinking four 1 TB Luns and one for each blades. (actually 8 Luns in toal, 4 boot luns for ESXi and 4 for UC apps).
What is the best practice (or common deployment) to create Lun size and design?
Thanks,
Harry

UC apps need low IO，nothing special，Reference vmware LUN design is ok.

Best practice for locations to deploy AP3602i's?

I am doing an install for a new building for my company. We have 2 office floors and 19x 2602's. They will be switched through a WLC-5508. I am looking to find a best practices guide on how to deploy them (location wise). For instance, should they be spaced certain distances from each other, at least X feet away from walls/obstacles, at least X high off the floor, in a triangular pattern, etc etc. Anyone know where to find documentation such as this?
Each one of our floors are rectangular in shape, around 20k square feet, have mechanical and elevator shafts in the center of the floors. So it is a large squarish oval. Nine AP's per floor, I thought about placing them along the center line of the oval, but in sort of a zig-zag pattern, not in a straight line along the perimeter. They would all be ceiling mounted. I am looking for any info to let me know if that is a good plan, or how I should change it to confirm to best practices.

Either you do voice or just data only, I recommend you do site survey before and after. Make sure you leave some slacks of cables so that you can re-position APs after the post-deployment site survey. Lowest SNR for a good solid connection is 20~25dB due to the fact that you need some fade margine, so perform site survey with that in mind.
Those lighting fixtures are not big of deal if they are recessed and mounted above access points. Bigger concerns are firedoors, leaded walls, elevator columns, etc.
Remember that a site survey after the deployment is very important for a good wireless network.
Good luck.

Best Practices for Packaging and Deploying Server-Specific Configurations

We have some server-specific properties that vary for each server. We'd
like to have these properties collected together in their own properties
file (either .properties or .xml is fine).
What is the best-practices way to package and deploy an application (as an
ear file), where each server needs some specific properties?
We'd kind of like to have the server-specific properties file be stored
external to the ear on the server itself, so that the production folks can
configure each server's properties at the server. But it appears that an
application can't access a file external to the ear, or at least we can't
figure out the magic to do it. If there is a way to do this, please let me
know how.
Or do we have to build a unique ear for each server? This is possible, of
course, but we'd prefer to build one deployment package (ear), and then
ship that off to each server that is already configured for its specific
environment. We have some audit requirements where we need to ensure that
an ear that has been tested by QA is the very same ear that has been
deployed, but if we have to build one for each server, this is not
possible.
Any help or pointers would be most appreciated. If this is an old issue,
my apologies, would you please point me to any previous material to read?
I didn't see anything after searching through this group's archives.
Thanks much in advance,
Paul

The one draw back to this is you have to go all the way back to ant and the
build system to make changes. You really want these env variables to be
late binding.

Paul,
I have a similar situation in our project and I don't create ear filesspecific
to the environment. I do the following:
1) Create .properties file for every environment with the same attributename
but different values in it. For example, I have phoneix.properties.NT,phoenix.properties.DEV,
phoenix.properties.QA, phoenix.properties.PROD.
2) Use Ant to compile, package and deploy the ear file
I have a .bat file in NT and .sh for Solaris that in turn calls theant.bat or
ant.sh respectively. For the wrapper batch file or shell script, you canpass
the name of the environment. The wrapper batch file will copy theappropriate
properties file to "phonenix.properties". In the ant build.xml, I alwaysrefer
to phonenix.properties which is available all the time depending on theenvironment.

It works great and I can't think of any other flexible way. Hope thathelps.

Best practice for JSP app- multiple windows

Hi all,
I am looking for some opinions on whether I should construct my app so it uses multiple windows. eg. If someone opens a master record and clicks a link, I can display details in a seperate window. Obviously this has the advantage of being more user-friendly ala a thick client as the user can view multiple windows at once, etc. I've seen many web apps that do this but many that have opted not to also.
I am interested in the common 'pitfalls' associated with multiple-window web apps and why I should/should not use them. Obviously, opinions vary but I'd like to get some feedback on this. Also, any link(s) discussing this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Err...
JSP is generally used to embed sippets of Java code within otherwise existing HTML pages. It is possible to dynamically generate the resulting Javascript code that will create additional windows, or the Applet code that will likewise spawn new windows in response to user activities.
For the most part, I do something along the lines of the former suggestion, that is, I write code like:
out.write( "<A HREF=\"show_detail.jsp?id=" + id + "\" TARGET=\"detail_window\">" + id + "</A>\n" );...and the result is that if the user clicks on a link, a new web page is loaded into some other window.
Is this a valid way to go? Certainly. Are there any drawbacks? Yes. Many users actually don't want multiple windows, that is, they click on the link, it opens a window - fine. They click on a similar link, it should load the relevant data into that companion window, not load yet another window. The primary reason being that closing all those windows is a bit of a pain in the behind.
Beyond that, I can't really offer any suggestions that are not application specific. If I think of any, I'll come back to the thread.

Best practice for using App Module Interface vs Impl

Hello all,
I understand the benefit and desire to use an Application Module via an Interface vs directly using the Implementation (Impl) class. This works fine for custom methods exposed on the interface, however, it does not address getters for view objects that are in the data model. Similarly, if I do use the Impl class, it returns a View Object Implementation - same issue here.
Any thoughts?
John

Hi John,
you can write custom method returning ViewObject class.
    /**Container's getter for DeptView1
    public DeptViewImpl getDeptView() {
        return (DeptViewImpl)findViewObject("DeptView");
    // This method can be exposed to client
    public ViewObject getDepts() {
        return getDeptView1();
    }When your view object will have custom method exposed to client then getDepts() method can return DeptView interface.
Method returning impl class cannot be exposed as it probably doesn't follow rules (some rules are described in documentation - ch. 8.4.4).
Or you can create your own interface and implement it in view object impl class. Getter returning this interface can be exposed to client.
We found it very useful to use own java interfaces in our project. You can then create common logic working with any view object implementing specific interface.

Best Practice for SRST deployment at a remote site

What is the best practice for a SRST deployment at a remote site? Should a separate router such as a 3800 series be deployed for telephony in addition to another router to be deployed for Data? Is there a need for 2 different devices?

Hi Brian,
This is typically done all on one ISR Router at the remote site :)There are two flavors of SRST. Here is the feature comparison;
SRST Fallback
This feature enables routers to provide call-handling support for Cisco Unified IP phones if they lose connection to remote primary, secondary, or tertiary Cisco Unified Communications Manager installations or if the WAN connection is down. When Cisco Unified SRST functionality is provided by Cisco Unified CME, provisioning of phones is automatic and most Cisco Unified CME features are available to the phones during periods of fallback, including hunt-groups, call park and access to Cisco Unity voice messaging services using SCCP protocol. The benefit is that Cisco Unified Communications Manager users will gain access to more features during fallback ****without any additional licensing costs.
Comparison of Cisco Unified SRST and
Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
â¢ First supported with Cisco Unified CME 4.0: Cisco IOS Software 12.4(9)T
â¢ IP phones re-home to Cisco Unified CME if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. CME in SRST allows IP phones to access some advanced Cisco Unified CME telephony features not supported in traditional SRST
â¢ Support for up to 240 phones
â¢ No support for Cisco VG248 48-Port Analog Phone Gateway registration during fallback
â¢ Lack of support for alias command
â¢ Support for Cisco UnityÂ® unified messaging at remote sites (Distributed Exchange or Domino)
â¢ Support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Basic Automatic Call Distributor (BACD), Call Park, softkey templates, and paging
â¢ Support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0 on same computer
â¢ No support for secure voice in SRST mode
â¢ More complex configuration required
â¢ Support for digital signal processor (DSP)-based hardware conferencing
â¢ E-911 support with per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for IP phones (Cisco Unified CME 4.1 only)
Cisco Unified SRST
â¢ Supported since Cisco Unified SRST 2.0 with Cisco IOS Software 12.2(8)T5
â¢ IP phones re-home to SRST router if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. SRST allows IP phones to have basic telephony features
â¢ Support for up to 720 phones
â¢ Support for Cisco VG248 registration during fallback
â¢ Support for alias command
â¢ Lack of support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Call Park, and BACD
â¢ No support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0
â¢ Support for secure voice during SRST fallback
â¢ Simple, one-time configuration for SRST fallback service
â¢ No per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for SCCP Phones (E911 is a new feature supported in SRST 4.1)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/prod_qas0900aecd8028d113.html
These SRST hardware based restrictions are very similar to the number of supported phones with CME. Here is the actual breakdown;
Cisco 880 SRST Series Integrated Services Router
Up to 4 phones
Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router
Up to 8 phones
Cisco 2801 Integrated Services Router
Up to 25 phones
Cisco 2811 Integrated Services Router
Up to 35 phones
Cisco 2821 Integrated Services Router
Up to 50 phones
Cisco 2851 Integrated Services Router
Up to 100 phones
Cisco 3825 Integrated Services Router
Up to 350 phones
Cisco CatalystÂ® 6500 Series Communications Media Module (CMM)
Up to 480 phones
Cisco 3845 Integrated Services Router
Up to 730 phones
*The number of phones supported by SRST have been changed to multiples of 5 starting with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(15)T3.
From this excellent doc;

Best practice for managing a Windows 7 deployment with both 32-bit and 64-bit?

What is the best practice for creating and organizing deployment shares in MDT for a Windows 7 deployment that has mostly 32-bit computers, but a few 64-bit computers as well? Is it better to create a single deployment share for Windows 7 and include both
versions, or is it better to create two separate deployment shares? And what about 32-bit and 64-bit versions of applications?
I'm currently leaning towards creating two separate deployment shares, just so that I don't have to keep typing (x86) and (x64) for every application I import, as well as making it easier when choosing applications in the Lite Touch installation. But I know
each deployment share has the option to create both an x86 and x64 boot image, so that's why I am confused.

Supporting two task sequences is way easier than supporting two shares. Two shares means two boot media, or maintaining a method of directing the user to one or the other. Everything needs to be imported or configured twice. Not to mention doubling storage
space. MDT is designed to have multiple task sequences, why wouldn't you use them?
Supporting multiple task sequences can be a pain, but not bad once you get a system. Supporting app installs intelligently is a large part of that. We have one folder per app install, with a wrapper vbscript that handles OS detection. If there are separate
binaries, they are placed in x86 and x64 subfolders. Everything runs from one folder via the same command, "cscript install.vbs". So, import once, assign once, and forget it. Its the same install package we use for Altiris, and we'll be using a Powershell
version of it when we fully migrate to SCCM.
Others handle x86 and x64 apps separately, and use the MDT app details to select what platform the app is meant for. I've done that, but we have a template for the vbscript wrapper and its a standard process, I believe its easier. YMMV.
Once you get your apps into MDT, create bundles. Core build bundle, core deploy bundle, Laptop deploy bundle, etcetera. Now you don't have to assign twenty apps to both task sequences, just one bundle. When you replace one app in the bundle, all TS'es are
updated automatically. Its kind of the same mentality as active directory. Users, groups and resources = apps, bundles and task sequences.
If you have separate build and deploy shares in your lab, great. If not, separate your apps into build and deploy folders in your lab MDT share. Use a selection profile to upload only your deploy side to production. In fact I separate everything (except
drivers) into Build and deploy folders on my lab server. Don't mix build and deploy, and don't mix Lab/QA and production. I also keep a "Retired" folder. When I replace an app, TS, OS, etcetera, I move it to the retired folder and append "RETIRED - " to the
front of it so I can instantly spot it if it happens to show up somewhere it shouldn't.
To me, the biggest "weakness" of MDT is its flexibility. There's literally a dozen different ways to do everything, and there's no fences to keep you on the path. If you don't create some sort of organization for yourself, its very easy to get lost as things
get complicated. Tossing everything into one giant bucket will have you pulling your hair out.

What is the best practice for AppleScript deployment on several machines?

Hi,
I am developing some AppleScripts for my colleagues at work and I don't want to visit each of them to deploy my AppleScript on their Macs.
So, what is the best practice for AppleScript deployment on several machines?
Is there an installer created by the Automator available?
I would like to have something like an App to run which puts all my AppleScript relevant files into the right place onto a destination Mac.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

There's really no 'right place' to put applescripts. folder action scripts nees to go in ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts (or /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts), anything you want to appear in the script menu needs to go in ~/Library/Scripts (or /Library/Scripts), script applications should probably go in the Applications folder, but otherwise scripts can be placed anywhere. conventional places to put them are in ~/Library/Scripts or in a subfolder of ~/Library/Application Support if they are run by an application. The more important issue is to make sure you generalize the scripts: use the path to command to get local paths rather than hard-coding them in, make sure you test to make sure applications or unic executables you call are present ont he machine, use script bundles rather tna scripts if you scripts have private resources.
You can write a quick installer script if you want to make sure scripts go where you want them. Skeleton verion looks like this:
set scriptsFolder to path to scripts folder from user domain
set scriptsToExport to path to resource "xxx.scpt" in directory "yyy"
tell application "Finder"
duplicate scriptsToExport to scriptsFolder with replacing
end tell
say "Scripts are installed"
save this as a script application, then open the application pacckage and create a folder called "yyy" in the resources folder and copy your script "xxx.scpt" into it. other people can run the app to install the script.

Best practices for deploying forms in a 'cluster'?

Hi adil,
Based on your description, you want to know the best practices for search service in a SharePoint farm.
Different farms have different search topologies, for the best search performance, I recommend that you follow the guidance for small, medium, and large farms.
The article is about the guidance for different farms.
Search service can run with other services in the same server, if condition permits and you want to have better performance for search service and other services including BI performance, you can deploy search service in dedicated server.
If condition permits, I recommend combining a query component with a front-end Web server to avoid putting crawl components and query components on the same serve.
In your SharePoint farm, you can deploy the query components in a WFE server and the crawl components in an application server.
The articles below describe the best practices for enterprise search.

Best practice for RDGW placement in RDS 2012 R2 deployment

Hi,
I have been setting up a RDS 2012 R2 farm deployment and the time has come for setting up the RDGW servers. I have a farm with 4 SH servers, 2 WA servers, 2 CB servers and 1 LS.
Farm works great for LAN and VPN users.
Now i want to add two domain joined RDGW servers.
The question is; I've read a lot on technet and different sites about how to set the thing up, but no one mentions any best practices for where to place them.
Should i:
- set up WAP in my DMZ with ADFS in LAN, then place the RDGW in the LAN and reverse proxy in
- place RDGW in the DMZ, opening all those required ports into the LAN
- place the RDGW in the LAN, then port forward port 443 into it from internet
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The deployment is totally depends on your & company requirements as many things to taken care such as Hardware, Network, Security and other related stuff. Personally to setup RD Gateway server I would not prefer you to select 1st option. But as per my research,
for best result you can use option 2 (To place RDG server in DMZ and then allowed the required ports). Because by doing so outside network can’t directly connect to your internal server and it’s difficult to break the network by any attackers. A perimeter
network (DMZ) is a small network that is set up separately from an organization's private network and the Internet. In a network, the hosts most vulnerable to attack are those that provide services to users outside of the LAN, such as e-mail, web, RD Gateway,
RD Web Access and DNS servers. Because of the increased potential of these hosts being compromised, they are placed into their own sub-network called a perimeter network in order to protect the rest of the network if an intruder were to succeed. You can refer
beneath article for more information.

Best Practice for trimming content in Sharepoint Hosted Apps?

Hey there,
I'm developing a Sharepoint 2013 App that is set to be Sharepoint Hosted. I have a section within the app that I'd like to be Configuration-related, so I would like to only allow certain users or roles to be able to access this content or even see
that it exists (i.e. an Admin button, if you will). What is the best practice for accomplishing this in Sharepoint 2013 Apps? Thusfar, I've been doing everything using jQuery and the REST api and I'm hoping there's a standard within this that I
should be using.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can weigh in here.
Mike

Hi,
According to
this documentation, “You must configure a new name in Domain Name Services (DNS) to host the apps. To help improve security, the domain name should not be a subdomain
of the domain that hosts the SharePoint sites. For example, if the SharePoint sites are at Contoso.com, consider ContosoApps.com instead of App.Contoso.com as the domain name”.
More information:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161237(v=office.15)
For production hosting scenarios, you would still have to create a DNS routing strategy within your intranet and optionally configure your firewall.
The link below will show how to create and configure a production environment for apps for SharePoint:

Best practice for customizing EJB property after deployment

Hi Gurus,
What is the best practice for customizing EJB property after deployment in NW7.1? I have a stateless session bean and it needs to get some environment information before acting. While the information can only be known at runtime. What should I do to achieve it? I thought I can bind the property with a JNDI context but I did not find out where to declare and change the context value. Please advise. Thanks.

Best practices for apps integration with third party systems ?

Hi all
I would like to know if there is any document from oracle or from your own regarding best practices for apps integration with third party systems.
For example, in particular, let's say we need customization in a given module(ex:payables) need to provide data to a third party system, consider following:
outbound interface:
1)should third party system should be given with direct access to oracle database to access a particular payments data information table/view to look for data ?
2) should oracle create a file to third party system, so that it can read and do what it need to do?
inbound:
1) should third party should directly login and insert data into tables which holds response data?
2) again, should third party create file and oralce apps will pick up for further processing?
again, there could be lot of company specific scenarios like it has to be real time or not... etc...
How does companies make sure third party systems are not directly dipping into other systems (oracle apps/others), so that it will follow certain integration best practices.
how does enterprise architectute will play a role in this? can we apply SOA standards? should use request/reply using Tibco etc?
Many oracle apps implementations customizations are more or less directly interacting with third party systems by including code to login into respective third party systems and vice versa.
Let me your know if you have done differently and that would help oracle apps community.
thanks
rrb.

you want to send idoc to third party system (NONSAP).
what kind of system is it? can it handle http requests
or
can it handle webservice?
which version of R/3 you are using?
what is the mechanism the receiving system has, to receive data?
