Best Practices for KM Reports

Hi all,
Does anybody have some tip about the best practices to delivery reports for KM activities? Ex.: Users that access the a file, what's the file that a user has accessed and so. I'll need to define input criterias for it. Its better read the statistics file and publish reports with a Web Dynpro application, or use KM Reporting API and publish reports like https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7d28a67b-0c01-0010-8d9a-d7e6811377c0?
Have some facilities to generate graphs from KM info?
Best regards

Hi Isaias,
Have you read this blog: "How to use the Activity Data Collector" ?
The ADC provides data on portal requests and stores them to flat files in a filesystem.
The collected data can include items such as:
u2022      Requested iView
u2022      Processing time
u2022      Browser type
u2022      Requested headers
u2022      etc.
The collector creates a set of files that contain a line for each request. You can take these files to create reports about portal activity using Business Intelligence, Microsoft Excel or other analytics tools.
For KM data collection:
For example you can specify which KM operations should be monitored. Also you can define a positive or negative RID list. If you mark the checkbox u201CPositive Listu201D only the comma-separated RIDs listed in u201CRID Listu201D are monitored, if you donu2019t mark the checkbox and enter RIDs in u201CRID Listu201D these RIDs are not monitored (negative list). Details of the property description can be found here.
For more information you can read:

What are the best practices for audit report for SharePoint 2013 farm ?

Hello,
I am looking for the best practices for audit reporting in SharePoint 2013 farm.Can anyone please provide me checklist/tools/guidelines on same ?
your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Dipti Chhatrapati

This is quite open ended question. A sharepoint farm should be well maintained as per :
1. Microsoft's recommendations on : Topology, Hardware and Software requirements, Operational procedures and most important Capacity guidelines:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758645(v=office.15).aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office.15).aspx
2. Organisation's IT policies and procedures : Farm Configuration, Workload and monitoring
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758658(v=office.15).aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748651(v=office.15).aspx
3. Industry best practices
I would suggest to start thinking over these lines and create a plan for your Sharepoint farm.
You can then create powershell scripts to run these reports at certain frequency to find the changes, any deviation from the standard and health of the entire farm.
Hope this helps!!
I LOVE MS..... Thanks and Regards, Kshitiz (Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.)

Best practice for test reports location -multiple installers

Hi,
What is recommended best practice for saving test reports with multiple installers of different applications:
For example, if I have 3 different teststand installers: Installer1, Installer2 and Installer3 and I want to save test reports of each installer at:
1. C:\Reports\Installer1\TestReportfilename
2. C:\Reports\Installer2\TestReportfilename
3. C:\Reports\Installer3\TestReportfilename
How could I do this programatically as to have all reports at the proper folder when teststand installers are deployed to a test PC?
Thanks,
Frank

There's no recommended best practice for what you're suggesting. The example here shows how to programmatically modify a report path. And, this Knowledge Base describes how you can change a report's filepath based on test results.

The best practice for creating reports and dashboard

Hello guys
I am trying to put together a list of best practice on how to create reports and dashboards using OBIEE presentation service. I know a lot of those dos and donts are just corporate words that don't apply consistantly in real world environment, but still I'd like to know if Oracle has any officially defined best practice or not.
the only best practice I can think of when it comes to building reports and dashboards is:
Each subject area should contain only one star schema that holds data for a specific business information
Is there anything else?
Please advice
Thanks

Read this book to understand what a Dashboard is, what it should do and look like to be used by the end users. Very enlightentning.
Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Communication of Data by Stephen Few (There are a couple of other books by Stephen and although I haven't read them yet, I anticipate them to be equally helpful.

Best Practices for creating reports/Dashboards from BW systems

HI Gurus,
Best Practices of creating BO Dashboards / Xcelsisus from BW systems
Prasad

You can use the BICS connector that leverages BW queries directly. It is listed in the Connection Manager as "SAP NetWeaver BW Connection". You will need both the ABAP and Java stack and SSO configured between the two. You will also need to have SAP GUI and BEx installed on the machine you are doing development on. Note that dashboards using this connection can only be hosted in NW Portal for the time being until the next release of BI 4.x platform.
Here are some links on getting started with the BICS connector:

Unity Connection 7.x - Best Practice for Large Report Mailboxes?

Good morning, We have 150 mailboxes from Nurses to give shift reports in. The mailbox quota is 60MB and the message aging policy is on. Deletede messages are deletede after 14 days. The massage aging policy is system wide, and increasing the quota would cause storage issues. Is there a way to keep the message aging policy and reduce it for 1 group of users? Is there a way to bulk admin the mailbox quota changes?
Version 7.1.3ES9.21004-9
Thanks

As for UC 8x, you're not alone. I don't typically recommend going to an 8.0 release (no offense to Cisco). Let things get vetted a bit and then start looking for the recommended stable version to migrate to.
As for bulk changes to mailbox store configurations for users, Jeff (Lindborg) may be able to correct me if I am wrong here. But with the given tools, I don't think there is a way to bulk edit or update the mailbox info for users (i.e., turn on/off Message Aging Policy). No access to those values via Bulk Edit and no associated fields in the BAT format either.
Now, with that said - no one knows better than Lindborg when it comes to Unity. So I defer to him on that point.

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 report output of CRM Notes field data

My company has a requirement to produce a report with variable output, based upon a keyword search of our CRM Request Notes data. Example: The business wants a report return of all Service Requests where the Notes field contains the word "pay" or "payee" or "payment". As part of the report output, the business wants to freely select the output fields meant to accompany the notes data. Can anyone please advise to SAP's Best Practice for meeting a report requirement such as this. Is a custom ABAP application built? Does data get moved to BW for Reporting (how are notes handles)? Is data moved to separate system?

Query Best Practice for Reports

I am new to Apex and I am wondering what is the best practice for store your sql quries for reports. I am a believer of storing all sql behind pacakge functions or procedures. And it looks like the only options for report pages are to use a direct SQL query, or a function that returns a query as a string. Yes the function method counts as putting the code in Oracle but not really. It is still getting compiled and parsed on the Apex side. It would be nice if Apex could handle a cursor but I have read that it doesn't directly. You have to have a function that returns a cursor and then create a pipelined function that calls the cursor function. That is kind of silly. Is there some other way to do this?
Apex 4.2
Oracle 11.2.0.2
Thanks for any input.
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
I'm not necessarily a believer in packaging queries. I'm a little more pragmatic in that I believe it may make sense in environments where you have a client environment that just expects a result set that is then manipulated by the client for the purposes of presentation, pagination etc. Apex has a different architecture in that the client is purely an HTML presentation layer (browser) and the presentation, pagination etc is formulated in the database along with the data using the Oracle web toolkit, which is a set of internal packages that produce HTML. Note that handling and manipulating ref cursors inside PL/SQL is not a joy, they were mainly designed to be passed out to external clients. (Often to shield programmers who don't or won't even try to understand relational concepts)
This means that when you create a report based on a query, the Apex engine will manipulate that base query, depending on the display requirements and pagination requirements of your report, before it submits that query to the database for execution. To get an idea of how this manipulation occurs, you can run your report in debug mode and check the actual query that is submitted to the database. If the query is presented as an already executed ref cursor, then the Apex engine can't execute in the way that it does. As you have already found out, the only way of using packaged queries returning ref cursors is by the use of a pipelined function, so that the Apex engine can treat the result as a normal query.
This is the architecture of Apex, and I suspect that re-engineering the Apex engine to handle ref cursors natively, as opposed to using a pipelining trick, would be a considerable change. I hope this at least helps to explain why ref cursors and Apex don't mix. I personally don't see the purpose of having an abstraction layer of packaged queries below an abstraction layer of an API such as Apex. SQL is a perfectly good API.

Best Practice for embedding webi reports in hyperlinks..

SAP Community
What is the best practice for embedding hyperlinks (email) from webi and sending to a user?so the users can quickly consume the report with minimal effort (click link and launch infoview/report).
John

As mentionned already, BI has it's own inbox, and/or SMTP integration for broadcasting.
Else, if you go to Folders, right click on your report instance, then select "Copy URL" (or 'docuemnt link' i cannot remember the exact term.) - that woudl give you an open document link to invoke the viewer .

Is there a best practice for deleting a published report?

Post Author: matthewh
CA Forum: General
Is there a best practice for deleting a published report from C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\FileStore on Crystal Reports Server or can I just delete the subfolders? Does it reference them elsewhere? I have a load of old reports I need to shed, but can't see how to do it.

Hi,
You can refer the SRND guide. As per document (page -292)
you can configured -You can add a maximum of 50 agents per team.

Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting

Hi,
I would like to know whether there are any Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting.
I have seen 2 types of Design:
1) The Planning Book Extractor data is Loaded first to the APO BW system within a Cube, and then get transferred to the Actual BW system. Reports are run from the Actual BW system cube.
2) The Planning Book Extractor data is loaded directly to a cube within the Actual BW system.
We do these data loads during evening hours once in a day.
Rgds
Gk

Hi GK,
What I have normally seen is:
1) Data would be extracted from APO Planning Area to APO Cube (FOR BACKUP purpose). Weekly or monthly, depending on how much data change you expect, or how critical it is for business. Backups are mostly monthly for DP.
2) Data extracted from APO planning area directly to DSO of staging layer in BW, and then to BW cubes, for reporting.
For DP monthly, SNP daily
You can also use the option 1 that you mentioned below. In this case, the APO cube is the backup cube, while the BW cube is the one that you could use for reporting, and this BW cube gets data from APO cube.
Benefit in this case is that we have to extract data from Planning Area only once. So, planning area is available for jobs/users for more time. However, backup and reporting extraction are getting mixed in this case, so issues in the flow could impact both the backup and the reporting. We have used this scenario recently, and yet to see the full impact.

Best Practices For Household IOS's/Apple IDs

Greetings:
I've been searching support for best practices for sharing primarily apps, music and video among multple iOS's/Apple IDs. If there is a specific article please point me to it.
Here is my situation:
We currently have 3 iPads (2-kids, 1-dad) in the household and one iTunes account on a win computer. I previously had all iPads on single Apple ID/credit card and controlled the kids' downloads thru the Apple ID password that I kept secret. As the kids have grown older, I found myself constantly entering my password as the kids increased there interest in music/apps/video. I like this approach because all content was shared...I dislike because I was constantly asked to input password for all downloads.
So, I recently set up an individual account for them with the allowance feature at iTunes that allows them to download content on their own (I set restrictions on their iPads). Now I have 3 Apple IDs under one household.
My questions:
With the 3 Apple IDs, what is the best way to share apps,music, videos among myself and the kids? Is it multiple accounts on the computer and some sort of sharing?
Thanks in advance...

Hi Bonesaw1962,
We've had our staff and students run iOS updates OTA via Settings -> Software Update. In the past, we put a DNS block on Apple's update servers to prevent users from updating iOS (like last fall when iOS 7 was first released). By blocking mesu.apple com, the iPads weren't able to check for or install any iOS software updates. We waited until iOS 7.0.3 was released before we removed the block to mesu.apple.com at which point we told users if they wanted to update to iOS 7 they could do so OTA. We used our MDM to run reports periodically to see how many people updated to iOS 7 and how many stayed on iOS 6. As time went on, just about everyone updated on their own.
If you go this route (depending on the number of devices you have), you may want to take a look at Caching Server 2 to help with the network load https://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#caching-server . From Apple's website, "When a user on your network downloads new software from Apple, a copy is automatically stored on your server. So the next time other users on your network update or download that same software, they actually access it from inside the network."
I wish there was a way for MDMs to manage iOS updates, but unfortunately Apple hasn't made this feature available to MDM providers. I've given this feedback to our Apple SE, but haven't heard if it is being considered or not. Keeping fingers crossed.
Hope this helps. Let us know what you decide on and keep us posted on the progress. Good luck!!

Best Practice to implement Reporting Exits

Hello,
I want to know the best practice to implementing reporting exits.
We have a case statement there and i_vnam.
THen we write like
WHen i_vnam
Code for filling the variable values.
The above method has a drawback that if one person is changing the program another person cannot at the same time and if one person transports it all the other changes are also transported. So if there is some code which is not ready to be used even it will be transported.
Another option is if we creae an include for each variable eg. ZBW_'variable name'...
And then for each variable we just have to transport the include and not the entire exit...
Do you see any drawbacks in this method or is there any other better way?

Hi,
You can create your program in SE38 for your own variable & call ZXRSRU01 program in it & pass the value to a variable which will in turn pass to to variable for CASE ivnam = "".
in this way the ZXRSRU01 will become accessible & can be called in any program.
But it will impact all the variables.
Its a good practice so that ZXRSRU01 is not impacted after that.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Rashmi.
