Best Practise for managing SRM user setup

Hi ... I am looking for some best methods that you are following in your projects, in order to manage the SRM user setup.
My users are concerned about the time taken from user submitting a request for user creation or org plan setup or changes to user profile ..... to the actual work done in SRM. Lot of time and effort are spent in manage this task.
Other concern is, each user request has to be dealt individually. They are looking for some automation of the process which would process bulk requests belongs to differnet users from different departments. From my experience, one thing we can think of is generating a upload program. But I think that would also be complicated for chaning the existing profile.
Just thought of checking with you .... whether you have any process which results in less time and effort spent in managing these activities? Please share your thoughts.
Thanks,
Arun

Hi,
Different people will tell you different versions of what they believe is best practice, but in my opinion you are already doing reasonably well.
What I prefer is
1. Lock ID & set validity date.
2. Assign user to user group LEAVER or EXPIRED or something similar (helps with reporting) out of SUIM/S_BCE* reports.
3. Delete role assignment (should you need it, the role assignment will be in the change history docs anyway).
4. Check background jobs & act accordingly.
For ease of getting info I prefer not to delete the ID though plenty of people do.

Best practice for managing unofficial user repo with git?

G'day Archers,
(I hope this is the right subforum for my question -- feel free to move.)
I am currently playing around with setting up an unofficial repo. So far so good, except I am trying to make sure I do things "properly".
I am currently deploying my website according to this tip I've seen recommended. I.e. on the server, set up a bare repo in say ~/src/www.git with a post-receive hook that states something like
GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME/www_public git checkout -f
where ~/www_public is the apache directory root for the website.
Doing it this way, I can push and pull changes between my desktop, the server and my laptop and the .git files don't end up visible to the public.
Now I want to add my repo to this system, but repo-add creates ".tar.gz" files. According to github help, these are better off ignored by git.
One solution that occurs to me is to add a pre-commit that decompresses the db into plain text and a post-receive that recompresses to a form that pacman will understand. However, I wonder if there is a simpler solution that I'm missing? I notice that Debian seems to have a tool that will do what I want, for Debian users. Does something equivalent exist for Archlinux, or do any Archers who run unofficial repos have any tips for me based on their experience/mistakes/successes of the past?

Best Practise for rebooting ISE Nodes?

Hello Community,
I administer an ISE installation with two nodes (I am not an ISE Specialist, my job is just to manage the user/mac-adresses... but now I have to move my ISE Nodes from one VMWare Cluster to another VMWare Cluster.
(Both VMWare environments are connected to our enterprise network, but are different environments. vMotion not possible)
I would shutdown ISE02, move it to our new VMWare environment and start it again.
Than I would do this with our ISE01 Node...
Are there any best practises for doing this? (Shutdown application first, stopl replikation etc)?
Can I really simply reboot an ISE Node - or have I consider something bevor I doing this? After I doing this?
Any tasks after reboot?
Thank you for any answer!
ISE01
Administration, Monitoring, Policy Service
PRI(A), SEC(M)
ISE02
Administration, Monitoring, Policy Service
SEC(A), PRI(M)

There is a lot to consider here. If changing environments means changing IP Address and IP Scopes, then your policies, profiles, and dACLs would also have to change among other things. If this is the case, create a new ISE VM in the new environment using the built in evaluation license and recreate the deployment from the old environment using the addressing scheme of the new environment. Then spin-up a new Secondary node and register it on the Primary. Once this is done, you can re-host the license from your old environment onto your new environment. You can use this tool to re-host:
https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/loadDemoLicensee?FormId=3999
If IP Addressing is to remain the same, it gets simpler.
First, and always, perform a configuration and operational backup.
If downtime is not an issue, or if you have a maintenance window of an hour or so: Simply shut down both nodes. Transfer them to the New Environment and turn them on, Primary Node first, of course.
If downtime is an issue, shut down the Secondary Node and transfer it to the New Environment. Start the Secondary Node and when it is up, shut down the Primary Node. Once services on the primary node have stopped, promote the Secondary Node to Primary Node.
Transfer the OLD Primary Node to the New Environment and turn it on. It should assume the role of Secondary Node. If it does not, assign that role through the GUI.
Remember, the correct way to shut down an ISE node is:
application stop ise
halt
By using these commands, the risk of database corruption decreases by about 90% (Remember to always backup).

Best practises for replication

Hi,
I want to know what is best practise for duration of replicaation of database between two Cisco ACS.
Regards,
Atif.

Hi Atif,
The replication time interval should always be higher.
Reason: Everytime you replicate the data it requires ACS services to restart so doing this frequently may affect your production enviroment.
However, if you want to replicate internal user's password then there is an option to replicate password changes right awayvwithout a full replication. You can enable this option under System Configuration -> Local Password Management. With this enabled you could potentially set the replications to a larger interval.
It also depend how often you do changes in your ACS. If its normal then I would say set it to every sunday 12:00 PM.
This is how replication happens:
The primary ACS stops its authentication and creates a copy of the ACSinternal database components that it is configured to replicate. During this
step, if AAA clients are configured properly, those that usually use the primary ACS fail over to another ACS. The primary ACS resumes its authentication service.
After the preceding events on the primary ACS, the database replication process continues on the secondary ACS. The secondary ACS stops its authentication service and replaces its database components with the database components that it received from the primary ACS. During this step, if AAA clients are configured properly, those that usually use the secondary ACS fail over to another ACS. The secondary ACS resumes its authentication service.

Question for Kappy: Best guide for moving a user to a new Mac?

Really anyone could answer, but Kappy, you gave me such a great, detailed step-by-step guide on migrating to a new drive ( My 3rd Party SSD won't mount ) that I use it religiously. I wanted to ask you if you could point to the best process for moving a user from one Mac to another, the absolute best way. I typically use this website:
http://pondini.org/OSX/Setup.html
But I thought I'd ask for your sage wisdom first.
Thanks for reading!

Best Practise for connecting to Ethernet based device

Hi,
I have inherited a system where we have a cDAQ-9181 controlling an vehicle access barrier, with a LabView application on a PC talking to it via Ethernet.
(The application is very simple - press a button > send a value to the 9181 unit > opens the barrier )
All works fine most of the time.
( We occasionally get network related errors. The LabView application sometimes thinks another PC has reserved the unit, or gives “error 89130 - device not available for routing” )
The users would now like to be able to easily run the application from a second PC ( not at the same time ), but this seems to be a problem. If I exit the application on PC “A” and run it on PC “B” it struggles to reserve the chassis, and throws the “89130” error and I have to restart the unit via MAC.
While I’m a “veteran” control programmer, I’m new to LabView, and would be very grateful for any pointers on “best practise” for talking to devices via Ethernet, or any specific suggestions for handling multiple PCs talking to a single device.
Thank You.
Tim.

Hi Tim,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the NI forums.
There are lots of knowledgebase articles on our website and you should be able to find documentation for most of our hardware.
There is a good troubleshooting guide for cDAQ Ethernet here (http://ae.natinst.com/public.nsf/web/searchinternal/e67b4e4749f378ff862577270059bd4b?OpenDocument) - it outlines the steps to take to ensure you have a stable a connection as possible. You may have already seen it, but the quick-start guide for your specific device may also be worth consulting for best practices. Are these helpful?
As for using more than one PC - this shouldn't be too much of an issue. I would expect that the resource isn't being closed correctly - when you exit the App on PC 'A', how are you closing off the resource?

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

Best Practice for Managing a BPC Environment?

My company is currently running a BPC 5.1 MS environment and will soon be upgrading to version 7.0 MS. I was wondering if there is a white paper or some guidance that anyone can give with regard to the best practice for managing a BPC environment. Which brings to light several questions in my mind:
1. Which department(s) in a company should u201Cownu201D the BPC application?
2. If both, whatu2019s SAPu2019s recommendation for segregation of duties?
3. What roles should exist within our company to manage BPC?
4. What type(s) of change control is SAPu2019s u201CBest Practiceu201D?
We are currently evaluating the best way to manage the system across multiple departments, however there is no real business ownership in the system, which seems to be counter to the reason for having BPC as a solution in the first place.
Any guidance on this would be very much appreciated.

ingridlisa,
I'd suggest to ask them to create Shared PhotoStreams and to invite you to view the streams, see:
iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams

Added:

Will you be collecting the photos in iPhoto on your iPhone or on a Mac? On a Mac a Shared PhotoStream requires Mac OS X 10.8.2.

What is the best practise for setting dirty flag of a page/view?

For a page/view, normaylly there are 2 things to do for diry data:
1. when it's clean, Save button is disabled, when it's dirty, save button is enabled.
2. when it's dirty and the window is closed, a popup says "you have unsaved data, close will lose the data".
My thought is: it must be handled at client side, because not all valuechange is auto submitted. E.g., you type the 1st letter of a string in a input box, the server side does not know it, but save button should be enabled immediately.
Is it possible to capture all valueChange events in a page or a view at client side?
I'm not sure what is the best practise for setting dirty flag? If there is better solution? Does ADF provide facility for this?

public void save(ActionEvent event){
boolean formValid = isFormValid();
   if (formValid) {
save button is enabled.
    private boolean isFormValid() {
        boolean valid = true;
        if (Check Condition 1) {
            valid = false;
           showErrorMessage1();
        if (Check Condition 2) {
            valid = false;
           showErrorMessage1();
        return valid;
    private void showErrorMessage1() {
                when it's dirty and the window is closed, a popup says "you have unsaved data, close will lose the data".

APC Back-UPS XS 1300. $169.99 at Best Buy.
Our power outages here are usually only a few seconds; this should give my server about 20 or 25 minutes run-time.
I'm setting up the PowerChute software now to shut down the computer when 5 minutes of power is left. The load with the monitor sleeping is 171 watts.
This has surge protection and other nice features as well.

ECC 6.0 upgrade to Best practise for chemical industry implementation

Dear All.,
Please tell me what all the EHP3 must be updated in the SAP erp ecc 6.0. I have already updated
SAP_APPL 60304.
Tell me what is the next Ehp3 required before i start best practise in saint.
Thanks & Regards,
Manju

Dear sir.,
I have installed SAP ECC 6.0 for a chemical industry, now am planning to implement Best practise to reduce implementation time.
1) As per the SAP Quick quide i have downloaded best practise for chemical industry(IS) and implemented through SAINT, and the prerequisites were maintained as per the SAP notes 774615,1301301,1064635,
2)The above mentioned notes explains minimum stack11 and sapka=18,sapkb=18,sapbw=20,PI_Basis-2005_1_700=20 and sap_ap=15 to update Ehp3 for SAP_APPL603.
3) After updating all the above mentioned patch level i implemented the Best practise in saint and that was successful.
But still the problem persist in activation of BP by tcode /n/smb/bbi only 70% has been completed and activation stoped with *ABAP program error ASSIGNSUBSTRING_NOT_ALLOWED and relevent note is 1295083*_
Please any one tell me, is that required to update all the EHP3 components since i have maintained only SAP_APPL60304.
What all Ehp3 components should be updated to get a smooth activation og BP for chemical industry.

Wats the best practise for performance

Hi all,
In my out line i have 15 dimensions and for one dimension i have 39000 members so wat is the best practise for performance , If we have more dimensions and more meebers is there any problem for performance
so wat is the best practise for dimensions and members??
Thanks in advance??

If it is ASO application it is not a problem.
If it is a BSO application surely it will hit the performance.
More dimensions will create performance issues.
If the said 39000 members dimension is a Flat dimension. It will be another issue.
If BSO is obvious try to split into two models.
Create intermediate groupings for the Filat dimension.
