Best Practices for Reprocessing or Reexecuting a mapping

Hi All
Please,
May someone tell me which is the best practice to execute a mapping when it fails?
How does Oracle Warehouse Builder manage the re execution and re processing of a map from a Source system to staging area tables?
- Truncate the stage table and start again?
- Populate an identical error table and reprocess only this table after fixing each Extraction mistake? This to avoid a whole processing when the quantity of mistakes is considerably lower than successful records
- Has OWB a log table of error records? Can I process over this table?
- Any valuable link ?
(The questions applies for mappings between staging area tables and the Warehouse tables too)
I`m working with DB v 9.2.0.5, and OWB v.10g.
Thanks in Advance

Best practices for ARM - please help!!!

Hi all,
Can you please help with any pointers / links to documents describing best practices for "who should be creating" the GRC request in below workflow of ARM in GRC 10.0??
Create GRC request -> role approver -> risk manager -> security team
options are : end user / Manager / Functional super users / security team.
End user and manager not possible- we can not train so many people. Functional team is refusing since its a lot of work. Please help me with pointers to any best practices documents.
Thanks!!!!

In this case, I recommend proposing that the department managers create GRC Access Requests. In order for the managers to comprehend the new process, you should create a separate "Role Catalog" that describes what abilities each role enables. This Role Catalog needs to be taught to the department Managers, and they need to fully understand what tcodes and abilities are inside of each role. From your workflow design, it looks like Role Owners should be brought into these workshops.
You might consider a Role Catalog that the manager could filter on and make selections from. For example, an AP manager could select "Accounts Payable" roles, and then choose from a smaller list of AP-related roles. You could map business functions or tasks to specific technical roles. The design flaw here, of course, is the way your technical roles have been designed.
The point being, GRC AC 10 is not business-user friendly, so using an intuitive "Role Catalog" really helps the managers understand which technical roles they should be selecting in GRC ARs. They can use this catalog to spit out a list of technical role names that they can then search for within the GRC Access Request.
At all costs, avoid having end-users create ARs. They usually select the wrong access, and the process then becomes very long and drawn out because the role owners or security stages need to mix and match the access after the fact. You should choose a Requestor who has the highest chance of requesting the correct access. This is usually the user's Manager, but you need to propose this solution in a way that won't scare off the manager - at the end of the day, they do NOT want to take on more work.
If you are using SAP HR, then you can attempt HR Triggers for New User Access Requests, which automatically fill out and submit the GRC AR upon a specific HR action (New Hire, or Termination). I do not recommend going down this path, however. It is very confusing, time consuming, and difficult to integrate properly.
Good luck!

Basic Strategy / Best Practices for System Monitoring with Solution Manager

I am very new to SAP and the Basis group at my company. I will be working on a project to identify the best practices of System and Service level monitoring using Solution Manager. I have read a good amount about SAP Solution Manager and the concept of monitoring but need to begin mapping out a monitoring strategy.
We currently utilize the RZ20 transaction and basic CCMS monitors such as watching for update errors, availability, short dumps, etc.. What else should be monitored in order to proactively find possible issues. Are there any best practices you all have found when implimenting Monitoring for new solutions added to the SAP landscape.... what are common things we would want to monitor over say ERP, CRM, SRM, etc?
Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions!

Hi Mike,
Did you try the following link ?
If not, it may be useful to some extent:
http://service.sap.com/bestpractices
---> Cross-Industry Packages ---> Best Practices for Solution Management
You have quite a few documents there - those on BPM may also cover Solution Monitoring aspects.

Best practice for consuming web services

Hi
we are consuming web service in orchestration by "Add Generated Item".By using this option it creates 1 orch,1xsd file and some bindings.
we have different projects for schemas,maps and orchestration under our solution in visual studio.
Now i need to know that what will be the best practice for consuming web service in orchestration i mean in which project should i use "add generated item" (in orchstration project or in schemas project) coz it generates both 1 orch and 1
schema.
thanks

From a service orientation perspective you should abstract the service artifacts from the other artifacts. Otherwise it will be very difficult to update the service interface without affecting the other artifacts. For example you don't want to have to redeply
your entire application if only one field changes in the service you consume.
So I typically generate the items, remove the unnecessary stuff, and put them in a separate project.
Depending on the control you have over the services you want to consume, it would even be better to create another layer of abstraction. By that I mean create your own interface (schema) and map that one to the one the service exposes. This basically
is only necessary if you consume external services that are beyond your control. By abstracting the interface it exposes, you limit the impact of changes of that interface on the rest of your system. All changes are abstracted behind your own interface.
If you consume internal services, you can probably control the way the interface is defined. In a service oriented world all internal services expose a well known interface, based on the domain objects you have within your organisation.

Best practice for how to access a set of wsdl and xsd files

I've recently beeing poking around with the Oracle ESB, which requires a bunch of wsdl and xsd files from HOME/bpel/system/xmllib. What is the best practice for including these files in a BPEL project? It seems like a bad idea to copy all these files into every project that uses the ESB, especially if there are quite a few consumers of the bus. Is there a way I can reference this directory from the project so that the files can just stay in a common place for all the projects that use them?
Bret

Hi,
I created a project (JDeveloper) with local xsd-files and tried to delete and recreate them in the structure pane with references to a version on the application server. After reopening the project I deployed it successfully to the bpel server. The process is working fine, but in the structure pane there is no information about any of the xsds anymore and the payload in the variables there is an exception (problem building schema).
How does bpel know where to look for the xsd-files and how does the mapping still work?
This cannot be the way to do it correctly. Do I have a chance to rework an existing project or do I have to rebuild it from scratch in order to have all the references right?
Thanks for any clue.

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 practice for dealing with Recordsets

Hi all,
I'm wondering what is best practice for dealing with data retrieved via JDBC as Recordsets without involving third part products such as Hibernate etc. I've been told to NOT use RecordSets throughout in my applications since they are taking up resources and are expensive. I'm wondering which collection type is best to convert RecordSets into. The apps I'm building are webbased using JSPs as presentation layer, beans and servlets.
Many thanks

There is no requirement that DAO's have a direct mapping to Database Tables. One of the advantages of the DAO pattern is that the business layer isn't directly aware of the persistence layer. If the joined data is used in the business code as if it were an unnormalized table, then you might want to provide a DAO for the joined data. If the joined data provides a subsiduray object within some particular object, you might add the access method to the DAO for the outer object.
eg:
In a user permissioning system where:
1 user has many userRoles
1 role has many userRoles
1 role has many rolePermissions
1 permission has many rolePermissions
ie. there is a many to many relationship between users and roles, and between roles and permissions.
The administrator needs to be able to add and delete permissions for roles and roles for users, so the crud for the rolePermissions table is probably most useful in the RoleDAO, and the crud for the userRoles table in the UserDAO. DOA's also can call each other.
During operation the system needs to be able to get all permissions for a user at login, so the UserDAO should provide a readPermissions method that does a rather complex join across the user, userRole, rolePermission and permission tables..
Note that f the system I just described were done with LDAP, a Hierarchical database or an Object database, the userRoles and rolePermissions tables wouldn't even exist, these are RDBMS artifacts since relational databases don't understand many to many relationships. This is good reason to avoid providing DAO's that give access to those tables.

Best practice for Global Address?

Good Morning,
I am new to Cisco firewalls and would like to know what is the best practice for creating an external ip address and port into my network and then redirecting that to a specific machine. I am thinking of using a global ip address and then only allowing this type of traffic to talk to the specific destnation and on that specific port. Is this the correct course of action? Or os there a better or more effecient way of allowing this process using ADSM.
Troy

Hi,
Basically when you are attempting to allow traffic from the external public network to some of your servers/hosts you will either use Static NAT or Static PAT
Static NAT is when you bind a single public IP address to be used by only one internal host. This is usually the preferred option if you can spare a single public IP address for your server, meaning you probably have a small public subnet from your ISP.
Static PAT is when you only allocate certain ports on your public IP address and map them to a local port on the host. This is usually the option when you only have a single public IP address that is configured on your ASAs external interface. Or perhaps in a situation when you just want to conserver your public IP addresses even though you might have a few of them.
In Static NAT case you configure the Static NAT and use the interface ACL to allow the services you require.
In Static PAT you only create a translation for a specific port/service so only connections to that port are possible. Naturally you will also have to allow those services/ports in the interface ACL just like with Static NAT.
Again if you can spare the public IP addresses then I would go with Static NAT or if you only have a single or few IP addresses you can consider Static PAT (Port Forward) also.
I dont personally use ASDM for configurations but can help you with the required CLI format configurations. These can actually be done through ASDM also from the Tools -> Command Line Interface menus at the top.
Hope this helps

Best practices for setting up users on a small office network?

Hello,
I am setting up a small office and am wondering what the best practices/steps are to setup/manage the admin, user logins and sharing privileges for the below setup:

Best-practice for Catalog Views ? :|

Hello community,
A best practice question:
The situtation: I have several product categories (110), several items in those categories (4000) and 300 end-users. I would like to know which is the best practice for segment the catalog. I mean, some users should only see categories 10,20 & 30. Other users only category 80, etc. The problem is how can I implement this ?
My first idea is:
1. Create 110 Procurement Catalogs (1 for every prod.category). Each catalog should contain only its product category.
2. Assign in my Org Model, in a user-level all the "catalogs" that the user should access.
Do you have any idea in order to improve this ?
Saludos desde Mexico,
Diego

Hi,
Your way of doing will work, but you'll get maintenance issues (to many catalogs, and catalog link to maintain for each user).
The other way is to built your views in CCM, and assign these views to the users, either on the roles (PFCG) or on the user (SU01). The problem is that with CCM 1.0 this is limitated, cause you'll have to assign one by one the items to each view (no dynamic or mass processes), it has been enhanced in CCM 2.0.
My advice:
-Challenge your customer about views, and try to limit the number of views, with for example strategic and non strategic
-With CCM 1.0 stick to the procurement catalogs, or implement BADIs to assign items to the views (I experienced it, it works, but is quite difficult), but with a limitated number of views
Good luck.

Best Practice for Securing Web Services in the BPEL Workflow

What is the best practice for securing web services which are part of a larger service (a business process) and are defined through BPEL?
They are all deployed on the same oracle application server.
Defining agent for each?
Gateway for all?
BPEL security extension?
The top level service that is defined as business process is secure itself through OWSM and username and passwords, but what is the best practice for security establishment for each low level services?
Regards
Farbod

It doesnt matter whether the service is invoked as part of your larger process or not, if it is performing any business critical operation then it should be secured.
The idea of SOA / designing services is to have the services available so that it can be orchestrated as part of any other business process.
Today you may have secured your parent services and tomorrow you could come up with a new service which may use one of the existing lower level services.
If all the services are in one Application server you can make the configuration/development environment lot easier by securing them using the Gateway.
Typical probelm with any gateway architecture is that the service is available without any security enforcement when accessed directly.
You can enforce rules at your network layer to allow access to the App server only from Gateway.
When you have the liberty to use OWSM or any other WS-Security products, i would stay away from any extensions. Two things to consider
The next BPEL developer in your project may not be aware of Security extensions
Centralizing Security enforcement will make your development and security operations as loosely coupled and addresses scalability.
Thanks

Best practice for multi-language content in common areas

I've got a site with some text in header/footer/nav that needs to be translated between an English and Spanish site, which use the same design. My intention was to set up all the text as content to facilitate. However, if I use a standard dialog with the component's path set to a child of the current page node, I would need to re-enter the text on every page. If I use a design dialog, or a standard dialog with the component's path set absolutely, the Engilsh and Spanish sites will share the same text. If I use a standard dialog with the component's path set relatively (eg path="../../jcr:content/myPath"), the pages using the component would all need to be at the same level of the hierarchy.
It appears that the Geometrixx demo doesn't address this situation, and leaves copy in English. Is there a best practice for this scenario?

I'm finding that something to the effect of <cq:include path="<%= strCommonContentPath + "codeEntry" %>" resourceType ...
works fine for most components, but not for parsys, or a component containing a parsys. When I attempt that, I get a JS error that says "design.path is null or not an object". Is there a way around this?
