Best Practise of maintaining user stories in MTM

Hi
I have below questions.
1.In MTM the best way to maintain the user stories can be which way
User story1- Under this sprint1,sprint 2...
User story2 - Under this sprint 2,sprint 3-...
or
Sprint 1- Under this User story1
Sprint 2- Under this User story 1,User story 2
Which is the best practice in the MTM. Any sample will be good

Hi Santhu,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
MTM is used to define and manage your test plans for manual and automated system tests. These test plans are stored in TFS, and are closely integrated with its build and application
lifecycle management tools.
As you said that about the best way to maintain the user stories, as far as I know that the user story is maintained
by web access. So if you want to maintain the user story, I suggest you can maintain it by the TFS web access.
Reference:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ee523998(v=vs.120).aspx
In addition, as you said that you want to the User story1- Under this sprint1,sprint 2.... or Sprint 1- Under this User story1. I know that the user story1 can not under this sprint1,sprint 2.... as the same time,
it just can under one sprint.
About this issue, since I am not the TFS experts, so I suggest you can ask this issue directly to the
TFS forum,
it will be better support.
Thanks for your understanding.

Best practise for SAP users who leave the company

Hi
Could anyone reccommend a best practise document or give advice on how to deal with SAP user ID's when employee's/contractors/consultants leave? I am the basis admin just starting an SAP implementation and we have no dedicated authorisation team at the moment, so I have been asked to look into this :
Currently we set the validity date in SU01 to the termination date.
We chack there are no background jobs scheduled under that user id, if there are, we change the job owner to a valid user (we try to run all background jobs under an admin account).
We do not delete the user as from an audit point of view I believe it restricts information you can report on and there are implications on change documents etc, so best to lock it with validity dates.
Can anyone advise further?
We are running SAP ECC 5.0 on Windows 2003 64 Bit/MS SQL 2000.
Thanks for any help.

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 practise to retrieve user specified UI Locale in ADF BC Model

Hello,
Situation:
In my application the UI locale is based on a Managed Bean property by using the locale attribute of the f:view tag. e.g. <f:view locale=#{SessionInfo.currentLocale}>.
The user has the ability to change the UI locale by means of a simple popup which contains a <af:commandLink> with a <af:setActionListener from="#{locale}" to="#{Session.currentLocale}"/> for every supported locale.
Questions:
<ul>
<li>Which is the best way to make the current UI locale available on the Model?</li>
<li>Are there other (better) solutions then the once I propose?</li>
</ul>
Possible solutions:
<ol>
<li>Use the BindingContext in the SessionInfo Managed Bean to retrieve the RootApplicationModule and store the locale in the Session UserData Map. This requires to overwrite the activateState and passivateState methods to prevent problems when the AM is released to the pool.</li>
<li>Use the ADFContext object to store the UI locale on the HTTP Session object by using ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope(). The ADFContext object is shared between the UI and the Model.</li>
<li>Use the ADFContext object and its locale property e.g. ADFContext.getCurrent().setLocale(locale)</li>
</ol>
Remarks:
Solution 1: should be chosen when you are working in a clustered environment.
Solution 2: can be difficult to work with in clustered environments since its hard to share the HttpSession object over different clusters.
Solution 3: I'm not sure if this works! The JavaDoc isn't very helpful.
Environment:
Oracle JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.2.0 Build JDEVADF_MAIN_GENERIC_090826.1233.5475 on MicroSoft Windows 7
Oracle RDBMS 11gR1 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
Regards,

Frank,
Thanks for the hint.
I have read the thread and gave the example by Steve Munch a go (Updated URL to the example on [Steve Munch Dive into ADF Blog|http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/#95] ).
Since I'm using ADF 11g and the example given is for ADF 10g I had to make some modifications to the example in order to make it work.
Let me explain in short the difference for the people who are interested:
<u>Extending the ADF/Faces Lifecycle</u>
Since the ADF 10g ADFPhaseListener class has become deprecated in ADF 11g we have to use a different approach.
Instead of using the CustomADFPhaseListener and CustomFacesPageLifecycle classes for extending the ADF/Faces Lifecycle we have to use the a custom oracle.adf.controller.v2.lifecycle.PagePhaseListener.
In this class we overwrite the beforePhase method and use a slightly modified version of Steve's code.
public void afterPhase(PagePhaseEvent pagePhaseEvent) {
if (ADFLifecycle.PREPARE_RENDER_ID == pagePhaseEvent.getPhaseId()) {
    App app = (App)ELHelper.get("#{App}");
    Locale preferredLocale = app.getPreferredLocale();
    UIViewRoot uiViewRoot = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot();
    boolean changedLocale = false;
    if (preferredLocale == null) {
      app.setPreferredLocale(uiViewRoot.getLocale());
    } else {
      if (preferredLocale != uiViewRoot.getLocale()) {
        uiViewRoot.setLocale(preferredLocale);
        changedLocale = true;
    if (changedLocale) {
      for (ControlBinding cb : (List<ControlBinding>)pagePhaseEvent.getLifecycleContext().getBindingContainer().getControlBindings()) {
        if (cb instanceof JUCtrlListBinding) {
          JUCtrlListBinding lb = (JUCtrlListBinding)cb;
          // If the list has a translatable null value
          if (lb.hasNullValue()) {
            // Force the list of values for the list binding to be recalculated
            // so that the null value text will be in the new locale.
            ((JUCtrlListBinding)cb).setValueList(null);
}Next we need to register this CustomPagePhaseListener. This should be done in the adf-settings.xml configuration file.
This file should be placed at *\ViewController\adfmsrc\META-INF* where ViewController is the name of your ADF Rich Faces project.
Example of adf-settings.xml file content.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<adf-settings xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/settings> ">
   <adfc-controller-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/config">
      <lifecycle>
         <phase-listener>
            <listener-id>CustomPagePhaseListener</listener-id>
            <class>CustomPagePhaseListener</class>
         </phase-listener>
      </lifecycle>
   </adfc-controller-config>
</adf-settings>Good information about extending the Faces Lifecycle is found in the Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide chapter [19.4 Customizing the ADF Page Lifecycle|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15051_01/web.1111/b31974/adf_lifecycle.htm#CIAJGBID]
Hope this information is useful.

Steven.

When granting a user or a role access to a group of pages, it is best practise to grant that access to what type of file or component?

My question is same while granting user or role in the application, what is the best practise? How to decide the level of applying role to pagedef's, xml files, or some other file that i have missed out.

As for my concern I would go for page definition files.

BEST PRACTISE on users deletions HR/SU01

Hi
we use CUA/SSO.
The records are fed from HR records and sent to Active Directory (AD)
AD brings backs the records and creates/changes users in SU01
A function module populates the CVR (timesheet) parameter dependent on whether you are an employee or a contractor
Occasionally, our HR department request records to be deleted from the SAP Support team - for example if the employee or contractor hasn't in fact joined the company.
Until some time ago, the deletion was causing problems because:
a) the record does not get deleted in AD and there is no way to send the deletion across after
b) when AD tries to reprocess that specific record, LDAP connector will not find it as HR record so what happens in SU01 for some reasons, the VALID from field gets wiped out and the CVR parameter for Timesheet also...
We have changed the process for the deletion however, I would like to ask if you know what is the best practise for this?? HR want to delete the record so it can be re-utilised
I cannot delete those records from UMR unless I am 100% sure they have never used the system (will have to check that)
I hope I have provided enough info on what the issue is..
Thank you
Nadia

Best practice is not to delete.
> HR want to delete the record so it can be re-utilised
So many people with the same name? Perhaps a suffix of 2 numbers when the ID naming convention produces a clash. Besides, do your AD admins not want unique names in the AD as well?
E.g. (just an imperfect example)
MUSTERMA = Alfred MUSTERMan
MUSTERMM = Manfred MUSTERMan
MUSTER01 = Mechtilde MUSTERMuller
> I cannot delete those records from UMR unless I am 100% sure they have never used the system (will have to check that)
Surest way is to determine that they have never logged on before. But that does not exclude that records might exist for them, which may eventually do a "user existence check" to be read. One such example is the Security Audit Log, e.g. there may have been failed login attempts.
Good luck,
Julius

BRFplus Best Practises

This is a question to Carsten or anybody that has some thoughts on the subject:
I'm appointed BPM general on my project and will use this power to enforce separation between business logic and the application whenever possible. This means heavy use of BRFplus. I also plan to leave the business logic to key business users that are unusually competent for this type of project.
This means that the business users have to build, maintain, test and monitor all the rules built by BRFplus (as well as all other business logic). We have to integrate them in SolMan test scenarios, mass test them with scripts, monitor execution results, have easy UI's everywhere, etc, etc. We will be on EH 702.
So, what have other customers used BRFplus to do? Which good examples and ideas can you provide? Best practises? Good solution customers are happy with?
I have a pretty good idea what we should achieve with this product but more ammunition to force a best practise in the BPM arena is always good to have. Also, I'm lazy, who figure out what someone else has already done.
Cheers
Martin

Hi Martin,
Do you plan to use BRFplus (rules engine for the ABAP stack) or NW BRM (rules engine for the Java stack)? In the current release both engines can call into the other. In future of course we want to go one step further for rules exchange. In case you use BPM I assume you know BRM, since it is tightly integrated into BPM. Of course you could call BRFplus from BPM through a WebService or RFC.
Goring live with EHP 702 is strongly recommended for complex scenarios. EHP 701 is only good for simple scenarios.
Maybe it is best we setup a call to discuss the other questions. Will yo attend TechEd? We can also meet at TechEd Vienna or Phoenix. My colleagues will do the Bangalore and Shanghai sessions.
BR,
Carsten

Using two User Stores for one relying party trust

Hi all,
We got a request to implement a trust with an external party.
Internal users should be able to make use of that application. But also external users, which have their account stored in a different user store (question is asked if its a SQL or LDAP kind of store).
Is it possible to have a SSO effect for both internal and external users?
Somehow ADFS has to know if the user is internal or external. I can imagine an internal user being in the office will get a nice SSO feeling. From what i think this is not possible for external users. External users should still authenticate once on our sts
(adfs). Lets say this is true, is it possible for ADFS to see if a user is external, and then use the User Store that belongs to that external user?
You also must take in mind that an internal user could also be in a internet cafe, so SSO is not possible. Also this time the user should authenticate to the sts. But this time it has to use Active Directory as User Store.
I know internal users have a username in a different format then external users.
Is it possible for ADFS to know which User Store to pick based on the format of the username?
Thanks in advance for the reaction.

Best Practises for Email Addresses?

Hi Guys,
Are there any best practise guides / documents / etc. for configuring user's E-mail addresses? We have a large turnaround of users and obviously sometimes they have the same name as previous/current employees (we
do not delete any old accounts / mailboxes.) My question is whether or not it is OK to use numbers in an email address (i.e. [email protected])?
Thanks
Stephen

Hi,
It's OK to use numbers in an email address.
The format of email addresses is local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the domain name may have a maximum of 253 characters.
The local-part of the email address may use any of these ASCII characters RFC 5322
Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a–z, A–Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
Digits 0 to 9 (ASCII: 48-57)
Characters !#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63, 94-96, 123-126)
Character . (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not the first or last character, and provided also that it does not appear two or more times consecutively (e.g. John..[email protected] is not allowed.).
Special characters are allowed with restrictions. They are:
Space and "(),:;<>@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, 91-93)
The restrictions for special characters are that they must only be used when contained between quotation marks, and that 3 of them (The space, backslash \ and quotation mark " (ASCII: 32, 92, 34)) must also
be preceded by a backslash \ (e.g. "\ \\\"").
For more information, please refer to this similar thread.

Request for howto - error processing best practise

Hi JDev Team. Something I would like to see in a future HOWTO would be error handling in a BC4J/JSP application. What is best practise? How do we make sure that when a database error occurs, we can trap the error and provide a friendly error message, or failing that, at least ensure the standard error is usable by a maintenance programmer. For eg. the following error occurs if a referential constraint restricts the delete:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: JBO-26041: Failed to post data to database during "Delete": SQL Statement " DELETE FROM TECHTRANSFER.TTSITES Sites WHERE SITEID=:1".
in fact the same error message is displayed for almost any database error - the programmer can't fix the problem when he has no idea what it is!! (same with update and insert)
I wasn't going to request this until I had read all of the help available on error processing but the way this project is going I won't get time. If you think that it is adequately covered in the help, then fine, just let me know where.
Thanks,
Simon

You can enclose your bc4j/jsp code with a try / catch expression. That way if a failure occurs, you can trap it, display a friendy error, and do whatever you want with the exception.
What I have been doing for develpment purposes, is send via email a modified errorpage.jsp. Here is what gets emailed to me (*'s in potentially sensitive data) and displayed to the screen (I'm eventually going to replace all the displayed garbage with something friendly):

Best practise around handling time dependency for flat file loads

Hi folks,
This is a fairly common situation - handling time dependency for flat file loads. Please can anyone share their experience around handling this. One common approach is to handle the time validity changes within the flat file where it is easily changeable by the user but then again is prone to input errors by the user. Another would be to handle this via a DSO. Possibly, also have this data entered directly in BI using IP planning layouts. There is a IP planning function that allows for loading flat file data but then again, it only works without the time dependency factor.
It would be great to hear thoughts or if anyone can point to a best practise document for such a scenario.
Thanks.

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?

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!

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).

Exchange 2013 Archive mailbox best practise

Current senario:
Migrating to Exchange 2013 CU3 from lotus Domino
in lotus domino the customer is having huge archive files(nfs file size is around 30 GB, like wise users are having multiple archive file with same size.)
Requirement is all these file need to migrated to exchange 2013 CU3. whcih we are taking care by using thrid party tool.
My concern is exchang e2013 support for huge mailbox size. if so what maximum size supported for online mailbox and archive mailbox.
can I assign multiple archive mailbox to users.
we have got separate Exchange 2013 archive server in place
We would like know the best practise/guide line for archive mailbox/live mailbox size.
refered below link:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ashwinexchange/archive/2012/12/16/major-changes-with-exchange-server-2013-part-1.aspx

The key decision is that the content in the primary mailbox is synchronized with the client when in cached mode, while the content in the archive is not. So I'd want to keep the primary mailbox populated with the content the user needs on a daily basis,
and put the rest in the archive. Unfortunately, that answer is not a number, and it isn't the same for all users.
Each user can have zero or one archive mailboxes, not multiple.

Exception Propagation - Best Practises

Hello,
I was thinking what is the best practise for exception propogation.
The way I know and have been doing is to specify an error page in my web.xml and in that I get a request paramater from the sesion ( which I populate in the catch blocks across the various classes) and display it to the user and ask him to contact the admin. Ofcourse I log them using log4j.
I was wondering if there are other ways people do this (other than just displaying a "Sorry, Application Error" page and what do you think should be the best practise of exception handling and more importantly exception propagation.
Thanks in advance for your time

...what do you think should be the best practise of exception handling and more importantly exception propagation.The very best practice is to always handle the exception, that is to say: never use empty "catch blocks".
As already stated there are many correct ways to handle exceptions depending largely on the result you desire according to the exception. If you want feedback for debugging: I've made the errors descriptive... class/method and exception/error included in the message to the end user. This almost never works, since they never read it and if they report it, they just say: "I got this error thingy and it said to call you..." I got smarter the second time around and put the errors in logs, so when they actually called, then I could have them look up the error for me, or even better, just send me the log so I could see any other problems they didn't bother to report.
It sounds like you are doing web development, one thing I have done in the past is to just pop up an e-mail ready to go with all the info in it. All the end user had to do is hit send.

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.
