Best practices for deploying forms in a 'cluster'?

Anyone know of any public docs that discuss typical best practices for
- forms deployment;
- forms apps management and version control; and/or
- deploying (and keeping) the .frm/frx in sync when using multiple forms servers in a HA or load balancing envrionment?

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.

Hello,
What would be best practice for deploying agent(10204) on RAC 9i? Should the agent be deployed on each node or should the agent be deployed on the cluster file system? What are the advantages/disavantages deploy on individual nodes vs. on cluster file system? Please advice. Thank you in advance.

Please use agent push application to deploy agent on all the nodes at one shot

Best Practice for Deploying ADF application

I am tasked with developing a best or prefered practice of feploying a large ADF application. Background: we are in the process of redeveloping a UI for a large system. We have broken the system down into susbsytems. Each of these susbsystems UI will be a ADF aaplicaion(?). This is a move from a MS .Net front end. The backend (Batch processes etc) is being dveloped in Java. So my question is if I have several ADF projects for each subsystem and common components that they all will use - what is the best practice to compile package and deploy? The deployment will be to weblogic server or servers(Cluster).
We have a team of at least 40 -50 developers worldwide so we are looking for an automated build and deploy and would like to follow Oracle best practice. So far I have read Deploying ADF Applications (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/e15470/deploy.htm#BGBJHGFH) and have followed the links. I have also look at the ADF evangalist blogs - lots of chatter about ojdeploy. My concern about ojdeploy is that dependent files are also being compiled at the same time. I expected that we want shared dependent files compiled only once (Is that a valid concern)?
So then when we build the source out of subversion (ojdeploy ? Ant? ) then what is best practice to deploy to a weblogic server (wslt admin console) - again we want it to be automated.
Thank you in advance for replies.
RK

Rule 1: Never use the "Automatically Expose UI Componentes in a New Managed Bean" option, create your bindings manually;
Rule 2: Rule 1 is always right;
Rule 3: In doubts, refer to rule 2.

Best practices for deployment from Dev /Staging /Production in SharePoint ?

Hi All,
What is a best practices to deploy SharePoint Portal to dev / staging / Production.
I have custom solution deployed using WSP file. But I have done some changes using sharepoint designer.
Like as Designer workflow, master pages etc.
How can I deploy my document libraries and list to dev to prod using best practices?
Thanks
Balaji More

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know the best practices to deploy SharePoint Portal in different SharePoint environment.
If the site is not existing in the production server, we can save the site from the development server, and then import it to the production server.
But if the site is already existing in the production server, we should follow these steps to just add the taxonomy and content types to the production server:
Save the site from Dev as a template
Import the template as solution in Visual Studio
Remove unnecessary items from the solution(Please pay more attention on it. If a content type/list... in the solution is existing in the production site too, it will replace the
same object existing in the production after deployment)
Package the solution
Deploy the solution in the production
For more detailed, please see:
http://ahmedmadany.wordpress.com/2012/12/30/importing-sharepoint-solution-package-wsp-into-visual-studio-2010/
There is a similar thread for your reference.

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 industrys 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,
philipp

Best Practice for Distributed TREX NFS vs cluster file systems

Hi,
We are planning to implement a distributed TREX, using RedHat on X64, but we are wondering which could be the best practice or approach to configure the "file server" used on the TREX distributed environment. The guides mention file server, that seems to be another server connected to a SAN exporting or sharing the file systems required to be mounted in all the TREX systems (Master, Backup and Slaves), but we know that the BI accelerator uses OCFS2 (cluster file systems) to access the storage, in the case of RedHat we have GFS or even OCFS.
Basically we would like to know which is the best practice and how other companies are doing it, for a TREX distributed environment using either network file systems or cluster file systems.
Thanks in advance,
Zareh

I would like to add one more thing, in my previous comment I assumed that it is possible to use cluster file system on TREX because BI accelerator, but maybe that is not supported, it does not seem to be clear on the TREX guides.
That should be the initial question:
Aare cluster file system solutions supported on plain TREX implementation?
Thanks again,
Zareh

Symantec Antivirus Best Practice for Hyper-v 2012 R2 Cluster

Hi Team ,
I am Working with Hyper-v 2012 R2 Cluster with 5 Node . All are working fine .
Now i am Planning to install Antivirus Symantec in to each node. Please let me know if there is any Best practice guide to install Symantec Antivirus for Hyper-v 2012 R2 Cluster node.
I am using full version of Windows 2012 R2 with hyper-v.
Thanks

I would also look strongly at no antivirus as well, but if you do, here are the recommended exclusions and possible issues with Anti-Virus to look out for.
Look for the Hyper-V section:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/953.microsoft-anti-virus-exclusion-list.aspx
Big things to stay away from from a VM level too:
1. Do not have a set time when all VMs will kick off a scheduled full disk scan. This can create an I/O storm on your hosts as well as saturate the CPUs as well. Look for products or settings that allow for randomization of full disk scans on
the VMs or do not do full disk scans and only keep the real time scanners active on the VMs for incoming writes.
2. Watch for Antivirus products that update all the VMs at the same time. Again, sometimes you can randomize or exclude a scheduled full disk scan, but sometimes an automated update that kicks off say at 12am can then automatically kick off a
mini scan. This can also create disk I/O and CPU storms.
The problem that still exists with many Antivirus products today is that they try to scan as fast as they can and then get out of the way. This works ok for endpoint desktops or laptops, but when you have 50 or more VMs on a host all ramping up trying
to get done as quick as they can, then this can cause some issues.

Best practice for deploying the license server

Was wondering if there is a best practice guideline or a rule of thumb out there for deploying the license server. For instance, is it better to have one license server and all your products connect to that, dev, QA, prod. Or is it better to have a license server for each deployment, i.e. one for dev one for QA.. etc.

Best Practice for deploying in Production Cluster

          I have the following.
          2 Physical machines each running 2 jvm's, thus I have 4 jvm's in my cluster.
          We access the jvm's via an IIS plug-in.
          When it comes time to do a new .war file migration, do you need to stop the jvm's
          first ?
          I have tried deploying with the jvm's live, it technically worked but we then
          noticed several 404 errors during the day on a servlet that was there. (Called
          successfully around the 404)
          Anyway, I'm just looking for recomendations on how others deploy to production.

          You should be able to redeploy a web application without any
          problems? When you get this 404 errors, do you see any stacktrace
          on the server window

Best practice for making form read-only at certain steps in process?

I have a process with a single form and 4 Assign Task operations. During Assign Task operations 1 and 3, the form is edited. During Assign Task operation 2 and 4, it should be read-only (it is reviewed and acknowledged, but not changed). There is no single criteria in the form data that indicates whether a form should be read-only or not -- this is only signaled by the step in the process. What is the best way to manage the read-only state?
Is there a way to make the form read-only via a setting in Workbench, or should I do this via a script in the form?
Thanks!
Toby

Best practice for large form input data.

I'm developing an HIE system with FLEX. I'm looking for a strategy, and management layout for pretty close to 20-30 TextInput/Combobox/Grid controls.
What is the best way to present this in FLEX without a lot of cluter, and a given panel being way too large and unweildy.
The options that I have come up with so far.
1) Use lots of Tabs combined with lots of accordions, and split panes.
2) Use popup windows
3) Use panels that appear, capture the data, then, make the panel go away.
I'm shying away from the popup windows, as, that strategy ALWAYS result in performance issues.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

In general the Flex navigator containers are the way to go. ViewStack is probably the most versatile, though TabNavigator and Accordion are good. It all depends on your assumed workflow.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

Best Practices for Multiple Forms-Reports Instances (WebLogic) on Win2008R2

Hello all,
I’ve succeeded in creating two instances of Forms/Report (FR) in WebLogic and am looking at about 5 or 6 FR instances on a one Windows Server 2008R2 box. I understand each instances will have its own folder (FR_Inst1) structure under the Middleware folder. Currently I have two instances configured each with its own Home (FR_Home1 & FR_Home2) and Domain (FR_Domain1 & FR_Domain2). Both the of the separate FP applications function correctly.
Can multiple similar type instances share a single Home (FR_Home)? Can multiple similar type instances share a single Domain outside of the WebLogic Domain, such as FR_Domain?
Thanks,
Ron

Thanx for the reply! I read through the documents and they are very good at explaining how to install the different components individually. I still can't find much on installing them together. I hope it's not just going to be a trial and error thing.
So far I've installed done the following successfully:
Installed 10.3.5 weblogic
Forms and Reports 11g on top of 10.3.5
I've created an additional managed server for our ADF applications.
My next step is upgrading the JSF to 2.x. I would have to stage patches 12917525 and 12979653. I'm afraid it will break the forms and reports though. Any ideas?

Best practices for deploying common object services

Hi,
Our team has broken out from our main application around 10 services that largely are used to return objects from 10 common tables in the database. We are thinking that these services should be reusable amongst the 5 or so applications that we are going to have in the near future. We're now trying to decide what the best way to make these common services available to the applications is and after considering several ideas, these are the options we've come up with:
1. Putting jars for all of the services in each application and adding entries to the sessions.xml for any Toplink project mappings that are in the jar files. Also are considering having just one many services jar.
2. Exposing the services through web services and only giving the client apps the client side code to invoke the web service. Realize this may mean a performance hit, but would mean less code on the client.
3. Stateless session EJB's.
4. parent-application tag or some other way to make these jar's be available to all applications on the app server through classloading
5. Some sort of messaging service
Would appreciate some input on this, as this seems like it would be a fairly common problem.
Thanks,
Mark
