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 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.

Hi.
I have a similar problem. But I still can not edit the properties of the ejb-jar.xml.
I tried to stop the web service, but the properties still remain unmodifiable.
Could you advise me how to change them?

Best Practices for CS6 - Multi-instance (setup, deployment and LBQ)

Hi everyone,
We recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 and migrated to a multi-instance server from a single-instance. Our current applications are .NET-based (C#, MVC) and are using SOAP to connect to the InDesign server. All in all it is working quite well.
Now that we have CS6 (multi-instance) we are looking at migrating our applications to use the LBQ features to help balance the workload on the INDS server(s). Where can I find some best practices for code deployment/configuration, etc for a .NET-based platform to talk to InDesign?
We will be using the LBQ to help with load management for sure.
Thanks for any thoughts and direction you can point me to.

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.

Best practices for EUL/Business Areas

What is the best way to handle multiple business areas? Even if they have no relations with each other?
Should I have one EUL with many business areas in it? Or many EULs with one business areas in each?
Does any one know where I can find the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Thanks,
Rob

Hey there (repost of a similar thread in this forum).
Many clients I've been at have the exact same discussion. And the one I push for is to have 1 EUL, let the BIS views have their own business areas and like you said, don't customize them.
For all corporate business areas, folders, etc. just create them in the same EUL but the business areas have a corporate prefix (ie: coca cola would have a CC_ prefix). That way ALL folders can access the BIS views if wanted (ie: join across business areas), special setups (ie: LOVs) could be in a particular business area where ALL folders could access) and updating BIS views with new versions would be a problem.
I really don't like multiple EUL as it's one of those simple things that can be a gotcha' for many end users that drives the helpdesk nuts trying to understand why a particular user can see his info.
Just my take (and of course, what I think is the 'best practice' 8-) ).

Best practice for .war? Configure and deploy or deploy and configure?

In Apache Tomcat for example, I can deploy an app, stop the server, reconfigure the app in situ, then start the server again...
Is this recommended for deploying Java web apps to Oracle App Server 10g?
We currently have a consulting firm that is recommending to configure the web app before deploying. Sounds reasonable, except that they want this done via JDeveloper so that the Sys Admin can right click on the "deploy to OAS" button (ie: have the tools generate the .war file after configuration and deploy automagically).

Thanks for your feedback.
Are you aware of any way to use the *.deploy configuration file that is created by JDeveloper in an ANT script to create the .war or .ear file?
If not, I can picture the Sys Admin and developers groaning when they're told that they're JDeveloper web-app configuration cannot be used for production -- and that they must somehow duplicate that functionality in an ANT script!
I do have the below ANT scripts from Debu to do the deployment etc. But they only help after the .ear is built.
EAR file deployment:
<target name="deploy" depends="core">
<java jar="${j2ee.home}/admin.jar" fork="yes">
<arg value="${oc4j.deploy.ormi}"/>
<arg value="${oc4j.deploy.username}"/>

Suggest the Best Practice for Procurement of Commodities like crude, copper

Dear Gurus,
Please suggest the best practice for following business Process.
My client is having the procurement need for a comodity whose prices are fluctuating. Say Crude Oil . The prices are changing every day. Now The client would like to pay to vendor on day of good receipt. But it may be possible that the price on GR day is much higher. How to control these kind of procurement. Presently I have activated the price variance through invoice posting but this is not working.
Can you suggest best practice for procurement of comodities.
Thank you for your consistant support.
Regards
Vinod Kakade
Edited by: vinodkakade on Jul 14, 2011 2:34 PM

Hi Vinod,
Would you know the price by the time the GR is to happen, in this case you can ask the vendor to send the confirmations, just prior to that with the correct price.
Please refer this link

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.

Best practice for Video over IP using ISDN WAN

I am looking for the best practice to ensure that the WAN has suffient active ISDN channels to support the video conference connection.
Reliance on load threshold either -
Takes to long for the ISDN calls to establish causing the problems for video setup
- or is too fast to place additional ISDN calls when only data is using the line
What I need is for the ISDN calls to be pre-established just prior to the video call. Have done this in the past with the "ppp multilink links minimum commmand but this manual intervention isn't the preferred option in this case
thanks

This method is as secure as the password: an attacker can see
the hashed value, and you must assume that they know what has been
hashed, with what algorithm. Therefore, the challenge in attacking
this system is simply to hash lots of passwords until you get one
that gives the same value. Rainbow tables may make this easier than
you assume.
Why not use SSL to send the login request? That encrypts the
entire conversation, making snooping pointless.
You should still MD5 the password so you don't have to store
it unencrypted on the server, but that's a side issue.

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.

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.

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.
