Best practices for multiple developers?

I am currently working on a fairly large application. At this
time, I have been the only developer on it, so it hasn't been a
problem in keeping all of my files up to date or anything. However,
I know in the future some new blood will be brought in to assist
me. To this end, I'm looking for suggestions on the best ways to
set up the project for multiple developers, especially in terms of
using VSS.
So far, I have the main HTML, JS, and FLA/SWF files located
on a web server - easy enough to create a project in Flash and
synch up with VSS. But what about the supporting .as files? The
help files seem pretty straight-forward on this kind of thing, but
I am curious about other people's experiences.
Any suggestions for me? Thanks!

HI,
You can install it on one common desktop, for example you can use citrix program neighborhood. you can install a common desktop in citrix program neighborhood and every time you need to apply some patches you can apply over there. so that you dont need to install it on each and every users desktop. so who ever needs business objects client tools they will be accessing through citrix program neighborhood.
I hope its clear.
Thanks,
SK.

Best Practice for Multiple iTunes and One Account?

My wife and I share our account for our iPhone Applications and Songs in iTunes.
Can someone point me to a topic that covers a best practice for multiple iTunes syncing?
I travel a lot and keep my iPhone synced to my Macbook Pro while she uses the workstation at home to sync to. We keep the addresses and contacts and calendars synced through MobileMe, however, I'm trying to find the best way of pushing applications and songs I've bought over to the other PC so they're still around while I'm traveling for her to sync with.
Thoughts?

Hi Steve,
Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
Hope this Helps!!!
Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

Best Practices for multiple authors using single project?

We are having many issues, particularly with moving, renaming, and multiple check out warnings. We have a single project with many authors and it seems like RH is not designed to work that way. There is an article in the RH devnet-archive in an article entitled "Sharing RoboHelp Project Among Multiple Authors" that says"
"At first there may be the temptation to let every author work on every file in a project. This is certainly not a best practice. Regardless of source contraol, it is always best to designate certain authors as owning certain content-related sections, folders, or topics within a project -particulary at the folder level."
This statement, and our experience seems to indicate that RH is not a true CMS as we had envisioned. What are the best practices for this scenario to avoid stepping on each others toes and having problems with source control.

I have moved this to the source control forum for the gurus there to answer.
Meantime I must admit I read that statement the same way as you first time. However, on rereading I think what the author is saying is not that what you want cannot be done, rather it is best practice to guide authors to work in discrete areas.
I will leave it to the author or another guru to give you a more complete answer.

Best practice for multiple instances of the same BEX query

Hi there,
I'm wondering what's the best way to use multiple instances of the same BEX query. Let me explain what I mean:
I have a dashboard with different queries feeding different period of time such as: week to date, month to date and so on. One query for each since it is based on a user exit.
For each query I want to show different data in different sections of my dashboard. Per example: sales per directors or sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week and the like.I tried to connect a simple bar chart via a direct connection but with no success due to the multiple lines generated by the addition of the sales director, customer group, week number and so on.
My question is about the way to connect the different queries efficiently in order to show the different data while avoiding multiple useless lines.
The image above shows the query browser where, per example, for a Month to date query there will be mutiple line for each week as well as one line for each director. If, for two different components, I want to show data per week and data per director or other representation what is the best practice:
Add another instance of the same query and only put the week information and another one will only the director info?
Should I bind those to the excel file and use formulas to make final calculations?
Will there be a performance issues for adding different instances of the same query
I have 6 different queries (read 6 user exit that filters time via user exit).
Depending on the best practices there might be 4 instances for each for a total of 24 instances in the query browser.
I hope my question is clear enough, if not please do not hesitate I'll clarify as much as possible.
Regards,
Steve

Best practice for multiple email accounts

Hello
I have set up a Mac mini server with virtual hosts. So, how is the best practice to set up email accounts for each host? I want to have emails like
[email protected]
[email protected]
and
[email protected]
[email protected]
and so on.
Should I create groups for each domain, and then user "info" and "contact" in each group. Or just add a user something like "infomysite1" and have a second short name "[email protected]"
Advices are welcome
Best regards, Magnus

If user1@domain1 and user1@domain2 are the same person then you just add the other domain to Hosting-> Local Host Aliases. Same user will get all mail for both domains.
However, I'm presuming that the user1@domain1 and user1@domain2 are two separate people (i.e., same name but different mail account). If so...
See Chapter: A Mail Service Virtual Host in Apple's Mail Services Administration PDF download at http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html
Also, see MakingVirtual_Mail_Users_in_OS_XServer.pdf from http://osx.topicdesk.com (downloads sections)
The topicdesk pdf was written for 10.5 server but I think it is still applicable to 10.6 (but follow the Apple doc just in case). However, it is good for explaining why you might want postfix-style aliases rather than the simpler Apple server-style aliases.

Best practice for multiple VIs talking to same PXI

I am looking for a reccomended practice for my use case, which I feel has to be what a lot of people do/need.
I have a NI-SCOPE PXI device, but this applies to most instruments on some level. I have multiple VIs that do simple things, such as one VI that changes the horizontal settings, one VI that changes trigger settings, one VI that reads the current trace from the scope. How can I have multiple VIs talk to the same instrument, some of them might even be called at the same time.
Some more specifics about my use case is that I am calling these VIs from a web service, and the trace VI is called very frequently and streamed to the user (via the web service).
I was thinking of implementing a VI that would give me the VISA connection for the instrument and a semephore. I would then have the VI doing the work aquire the semephore, make the instrument calls and then release the semephore. Are there better or different ways? Maybe something I am over looking with the semephore implementation?

Typically for this sort of thing I would have a device handler VI which contains your VIs for talking to the instrument. This VI acts like a 'server' and does your device communications and then you can send commands to the device handler VI (e.g. via a queue/event) and it will return the result.
I would implement this as a state machine (normally using queues) - states for initialising the device, a state for each action you want to perform and a close/shutdown state when your application finishes.

PC Convert - Configuring Mail & Best Practices for Multiple Users

I finally came to the light side last night. I bought an iMac and now I'm trying to figure out how to best set it up for use by me and my wife. Our PC is set up with a single login account and I've created multiple Outlook (not Express) profiles, one for her and one for me.
Can I do the same thing on the iMac? Am I better off creating multiple login accounts and just keeping everything separate? Being new, I would rather set things up the right way the first time and not have to undo things due to my lack of experience with iMac.
Thanks!

Hello,
Welcome to the Discussions, and welcome to Macs!
If you each wish not to see the email messages of the other, then your only real choice is to set up separate User Accounts (what you are calling login accounts). Of course using a single User Account, you can set both email accounts up in Mail, and if you keep the Inbox and Sent mailboxes expanded to show the separate Inbox (and Sent) for each account, then that works pretty well. It will not distinguish New Mail without looking in the the Inbox -- the red dot in the Dock will not separate for whom new mail has arrived. But the Address Book will be the same and shared.
The advantage of multiple User Accounts is that the entire Dock can be customized for the applications each of you like to use, if they are different.
The disadvantage will be in not sharing will include not sharing the Address Book, music and photo libraries, etc.

Best practices for multiple users on a network?

We have a centralized server storing all of our media, and a Final Share system allowing about 10 clients to connect. The details of the system aren't important, it mounts just like a local drive on each client and bandwidth is higher than FW800.
My question is what is the best way to handle cache files, sidecar files, autosave, etc. when passing edits between editors? What should be stored locally, what can be placed on the server? Of course all media has to be placed on the server, but can everything else sit alongside the footage?
The reason I ask is we started by pointing everything at the server, but now are having the good old Serious Error whenever two editors (in different project files) are referencing the same media. We'd love to resolve this... assistant editors can't log footage if doing so causes the editor's project file to lock up.
Thanks!
P.S. first tried called adobe phone support about this... not making that mistake again. The most apathetic customer service rep I think I've ever spoken with told me they wouldn't provide support because our Serious Error was the result of network issues and not their fault. And then that we should be storing our media files locally. I didn't see it necessary to mention that local storage on 10 machines isn't that viable with almost 50TB of data.

Hi Klonaton.
Are you using two Premiere projects or one Prelude project (for logging) and one Premiere project (for editing) ? I'll have to check tomorrow to be absolutely sure but we do sometimes have simultaneous logging and editing with -respectively- Prelude and Premiere through our small network, with no issues.
Changes to metadata and comment markers created into Prelude instantly appears and update into Premiere. Subclip don't and have to be sent from Prelude to Premiere on the same computer (or the media has to be imported again inside Premiere). I think it's normal considering how subclips work a bit differently in Prelude and Premiere.
Every files are on a thunderbolt raid drive shared on the network through an iMac. The Media Cache and Media Cache DB are on the network shared drive too, and common to every users and computers.
Also I don't get if crashes happen when your two projects are running simultaneously or not (in the latter case, that's a huge problem).

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 Practice for Multiple source.

Hello gurus:
The scenario is the following
I have a material which can be purchase from Supplier A o from Supplier B using a 60/40 distribution..
What set of steps should i follow from here to make sure every time a purchase requisition it is triggered from MRP a quota arrangement will be suggested to buy the goods from A and B?
Is it possible to change the quota arrangement once it is confirmed by the MRP?
Some times we will decide the source determination at the time of converting the Purchase Order, how to handle this if there is no master data like quota arrangement?
Regards,

What set of steps should i follow from here to make sure every time a purchase requisition it is triggered from MRP a quota arrangement will be suggested to buy the goods from A and B?
Create the quota arrangement and in the source list enter 1 for MRP field
Is it possible to change the quota arrangement once it is confirmed by the MRP?
quota arrangement can not be changed once it is assigned by MRP except you delete the reqs generated by MRP
Some times we will decide the source determination at the time of converting the Purchase Order, how to handle this if there is no master data like quota arrangement?
if oyu don't have quota then system will sugget the source from source list (if you have not make Fix sourcelist in source list)

Best Practice for using multiple models

Hi Buddies,
     Can u tell me the best practices for using multiple models in single WD application?
    Means --> I am using 3 RFCs on single application for my function. Each time i am importing that RFC model under
    WD --->Models and i did model binding seperately to Component Controller. Is this is the right way to impliment multiple            models in single application ?

It very much depends on your design, but One RFC per model is definitely a no no.
Refer to this document to understand how should you use the model in most efficient way.

Best practice for running multiple sites on 1 CF install?

Hi-
I'm setting up a new hosting environment (Windows Server 2008 Standard 64 bit VPS configuration, MySQL, IIS 7, CF 9)
Has anyone seen any docs or can anyone suggest best practices for configuring multiple sites in this environment? At this point I'm thinking simple is best, one new site in IIS for each client (domain) and point it to CF.
Given this environment, is anyone aware of any gotchas within the setup of CF 9 on IIS 7?
Thank you in advance,
Rich

There's nothing wrong with that approach. You can run as many IIS sites as you like against a single CF install.
As for installing CF on IIS 7, I recommend that you do the following: install CF 9 without connecting it to IIS, then installing the 9.0.1 upgrade and any hotfixes, then connecting CF to IIS using the web server configuration utility. This will keep you from having to install the IIS 6 compatibility layer that's needed with CF 9 but not with CF 9.0.1.

Best practice for linking fields from multiple entity objects

I am currently transitioning from PHP to ADF. I'm looking for the best practice for linking data from multiple entity objects.
Example:
EO 'REQUESTS' has fields: req_id, name, dt, his_stat_id, her_stat_id
EO 'STATUSES' has fields: stat_id, short_txt_descr
'REQUESTS' is linked to EO 'STATUSES' on: STATUSES.stat_id = REQUESTS.his_status_id
'REQUESTS' is also linked to EO 'STATUSES' on: STATUSES.stat_id = REQUESTS.her_status_id
REQUESTS.his_status_id is independent of REQUESTS.her_status_id
When I create a VO for REQUESTS, I want to display: REQUESTS.name, REQUESTS.dt, STATUSES.short_txt_descr (for his_stat_id), STATUS.short_txt_descr (for her_stat_id)
What is the best practice for accomplishing this? It appears I could do it a few different ways:
1. Create the REQUESTS VO with a LOV for his_stat_id and her_stat_id
2. Create the REQUESTS VO with the join to STATUSES performed within the query for the VO. This would require joining on the STATUSES EO twice (his_stat_id, her_stat_id)
3. I just started reading about View Links - would that somehow do what I'm looking for?
I also need to be able to update his_status_id and her_status_id through the by selecting a STATUSES.short_txt_descr from a dropdown.
Any suggestions on how to approach such a stupidly simple task?
Using jDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0 if that makes a difference in the solution.
Thanks ahead of time,
CJ

CJ,
I vote for solution 1 as it's just your use case. As you said you what to update the his_status_id and her_status_id through the by selecting a STATUSES.short_txt_descr by a drop down. This is exactly the LOV solution.
ViewLinks are used fro master detail navigation (which you don't do here) and Joining the data make it difficult to update (and you still need a LOV for the drop down box.

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.
