BFC Design guidelines

Hi!
Can any body put some light on design guidelines availability? I tried to find documents related to BFC design guidelines but not able to find specific topic. Can any BFC project team member put some light on this topic?
Regards

Design Guidelines

Hi,
is there a kind of document "Design Guidelines" like e.g. Java Look and Feel Design Guidelines ?

What are you designing? Clothing? Furniture?
For just about anything, there are usually all kinds of design guidelines. Each one completely different.

Case design guidelines missing corners/radius dimensions

Trying to design cases for iPhone 5 and 5c. Most dimensions are outlined clearly in Apple's case design guidelines. But the corner radiuses are conspicuously missing. Seems all the community advice I find is to measure it yourself... Being a risk averse perfectionist, I am looking for something more precise, if available. It must be out there, and think it could help quite a few with same dilemma. Anyone?

Video over ip design guideline

Hi
I want some guideline for designing video over ip setup.
We have central monitoring system and multiple sites connected to central site.
Now sites will have cameras and alrm system.
Live videos will be recorded at sites.
Now this is BOD application where we will pass video may be voice
and also data.
Central site may take archived data from sites at any time.
Now in such scenario what solution is best and cost-effective?
Whether DMVPN or MPLS/VPN or any other solution as we
require bod and not continuous dedicated bandwidth?
Pls let us know any document having such type of solutions.
Regards
Vaishali

What "flavor" of video over IP are you looking for?
If it's streaming video, then the Cisco IPTV would do the trick. There are four basic models: A control server, a broadcast server, an archive server, and a "starter kit" that can do all of the above, but with limited resources.
Do a site search for IPTV to get the docs & application info.
If you were looking for video conferencing, there are also several possibilities.
So, streaming video or conferencing? What's the application ?

Generic design guidelines?

I`m currently writing an 2d/3d engine and I`m using generics in my design. But I`m getting in design problems: the design is getting to complicated because I`m using a lot of generics. I know how generics work, and I can apply them in'simple' systems. But this is the second time I`m getting in trouble with a large system using much parametric polymofism. Are there guidelines for using Generics?

Everytime I`m getting an abstraction level higher
I have to add the typevariables of a lowerlevel
WHY?
By that I dont mean that you don't have to, but that it might be helpful to stand back and ask yourself that question, then answer it. p.s. I am not particulary interested in your answer.
The whole purpose of abstraction is to hide the implementation, and separate concerns, so your statement suggests to me that your architecture/design might not be ideal. If you believe your statement, (and I assume you do, since you wrote it), then there is a possibility that this belief needs to be questioned, so that you either 1. Understand it (and believe it) more confidently, or 2. Ammend or discard it.
I have done a bit of tinkering with the generics compiler which is written with generics and is quite a large application. It does not exhibit the problems you are having.
If I were having the problems you are having, I would be starting to ask myself Have I done something fundamentally wrong in this approach? Because every time I take a step forward, I get deeper and deeper into something that feels like mud.
Usually, once those doubts start to rise, they just get keep coming, and the sooner you address them, the sooner you start moving forward again. (albeit, usually, in a different direction).
On the other hand, maybe there is a real problem here. That is the exciting part about pioneering the use of new solutions, you get to find a whole new world of new problems, and contribute to their solution.

BI Design Guidelines

Gurus,
I am looking for some guidelines for building the Data Model, and developing a Query?
Example, what are the Dos and Donts.
Data Model
1) Always have the MultiProvider build on the top of each model
Query
1) All query must (as much as possbile) to be developed from MultiProvider
2) Query must not have a lot of Calculated Key Figure etc
Please advice, thank you.

     A MultiProvider builds up a data union of basic InfoProviders.
The complete data of all basic InfoProviders are available for reporting. A MultiProvider is interpreted at runtime as independent BI queries on each basic InfoProvider where the results are merged into a single result set.
MultiProvider Reporting
     When the reporting scenario is to be extended, use a MultiProvider as central interface between query definition and basic InfoProviders. When another InfoProvider is added to the MultiProvider definition, the technical name of a query based on the MultiProvider remains unchanged.
     Use a MultiProvider to reduce the size of the basic InfoProviders. Advantages: parallel access to underlying basic InfoProviders, load balancing, resource utilization, query pruning.
     Make sure that your MultiProvider only retrieves data from relevant basic InfoProviders at query runtime by
u2022     Using constants in the design of the basic InfoProviders
u2022     Using different key figures in the design of the basic InfoProviders
u2022     Using characteristic 0INFOPROV when designing a query on the MultiProvider
     Are you planning to use a MultiProvider? If so, you have to ensure that the characteristics you want to report exist in all basic InfoProviders.
     Do not use more than one non-cumulative InfoCube (InfoCube with at least one non-cumulative key figure) because this could lead to incorrect query results.
     Do not use calculations before aggregation on MultiProvider because this may lead to wrong query results.
     Do not combine basic InfoProviders having inhomogeneous data models in a MultiProvider. Use the report-report interface between queries defined on the basic InfoProvider instead.
     Avoid using only parts of compound characteristics in the constituent basic InfoProvider of a MultiProvider.
     Use a multi-provider approach carefully.
If the multiprovider is made up of infocubes with the same data model, but the cubes cannot use structure-specific infoobject properties (that is, the cubes are made up of disjoint sets of data, where the partitioning characteristic has a range of values in each cube), then BW must query each cube in order to retrieve the result.
However, a homogenous multi-provider is useful if the underlying cubes have a constant value defined for a partitioning characteristic and queries restrict on that characteristicu2014as a result, only cubes that contain relevant data are accessed.
Therefore, it is recommended that you examine the multi-provider approach for your installation to ensure the optimizer can adequately determine which cubes to access. The result will be improved query performance.
To improve system performance, it is recommend to use MultiProviders in Business Content.
Every BasicCube has a MultiProvider to which the queries relate. This has the following advantages:
Advantages
     If a BasicCube contains too much data, you can simply create an identical BasicCube and link it to the existing MultiProvider. The advantage of this is that you do not have to change the design of the queries because they are on the MultiProvider and remain unaffected by the BasicCube change.
     By using MultiProviders, you can partition the BasicCubes better into particular data retention time periods. Using constants, you can make a setting in a BasicCube, for example, so that the only calendar year available is 2002. This can significantly improve the performance of reporting.
     The MultiProvider concept allows you to partition data technically using time characteristics and logically by characteristic.

InDesign GUI Design Guideline Document?

Hi all,
I was asked for a GUI Guideline Documentation for InDesign product (plugin), I searched the SDK and the only thing I found close to this "ww-user-interface.pdf" =, I Just wondering if you aware of any other resource that describes gui elements, usage, ... for designing User Interface in InDesign.
TA

Nothing in descriptive prose that I know of.
There are tools - The debug build has a palette with plenty live information, including the boss class in use. If I need more details I use an own plugin to iterate through the widgets and produce a dump.
Besides there is also the Eclipse based resource editor, but I prefer copy-paste from my own sources using computed exact dimensions rather than manually approximated layouts.
Sometimes I'd wish for icon templates - use that gradient angles and start/stop colors and transparency for a palette icon on that background...

Spatial database model design guidelines?

Are there public guidelines on how to design a Spatial Database
Model?
i.e.
- is it better to have one table of geometries (elements) or is
it better to have many?
- is it better to store structured data (alphanumeric) in the
same table with spatial data or is it better to reference them
with foreign keys?
- etc
I guess all I need is some kind of methodology for building a
spatial model. Is there anything like this available?
Regards

Hi Pablo,
From a database design perspective, spatial data should be
modeled in the same way other data is modeled. For instance, if
you have river data that has 1 row in a database for every river,
then you might add another column in the same table stored with
the other information about the river that includes the location
information about the river. The same would be true of other
information. For instance, if you wanted to store the location
of all of the customers in your customers table, it is simple
another column in the customers table.
<< - is it better to have one table of geometries (elements) or
is it better to have many? >>
So geometries are just column information like other column
information that you store in a table. There shouldn't be
separate tables that hold only geometry information.
<< - is it better to store structured data (alphanumeric) in the
same table with spatial data or is it better to reference them
with foreign keys? >>
Treat spatial data the same way from a design standpoint as other
data.
Hope this helps.

Universe design guidelines

Hello Friends,
For new customers implementing webi on OLTP systems, is there any basic guidelines to refer. Some of the questions that arise are:
1. How many universes on an avergae would a companies have and maintain if implemented on OLTP system using around 50 tables
2. Is the logical grouping of tables for universe by business area like finance/logistics/inventory/etc
3. What is the suitable schema -Star or Snow flake for the universes
4. Is it good to have separate universes for transaction and master data
5.How are the joins between the tables determined--is it based on the reports drawn or keys of the tables..
Are there any implementation sucess stories with these details. Please share your experiences.
-Thanks
Tanya

ODS database design guideline

Hi,
One of our data architect have designed the model for one subject area, here is few points of that design
1. there are no relationship b/w tables, i.e. no primary keys foreign key relationships
2. dimention tables first column is varchar2 and i have to join with this column to fact table (unique index is created on first column of every dimention table)
3. all columns are not null in every table, functionally it is not required to put not null in all columns
4. I have created views and M views for reports -- joins are b/w tables as mentioned in point 2
Database - oracle 11gR2
Is this design cause performance problem when we run reports in database?
Please suggest..any document link will be highly appriciated.
Thanks

Design Guidelines Needed

I'm currently part of project which requires the implementation of Analytical Platform for a logistics domain. We have identifed some KPIs that has to be implemented within Analytical Platform. In addition there have also been request from users to have
ability to generate daily transactional reports also which would even include things like remarks,comments etc up to lowest transaction level. Just wanted to ask approach to be followed for including these also.
Currently we've planned for SSAS Cube in MOLAP mode for the Analytical part. But we feel including things like comments/remarks etc to get up to transactional level detail inside cube wont be a good approach. Can anyone suggest whether our thoughts are correct?
Do you suggest including this also in the cube? Or do you suggest an alternate mechanism?
Also the end user wants to have the ability to select fields they want to see against each other in the transactional report platform so we cant go with static reports. They're currently planning to use Excel powerpivot to browse the cube so thoughts are
around how we can integrate the transactional reports also through the same tool itself so as to minimize the end user overhead in getting all data from a single place.
Any insights on how we can achieve the above be really appreciated.

Hi Visakh,
As far as my knowledge, Writing a one time Macro in Excel to Fire a SQL Stored procedure(With Hardcoded Connection string) and connect the cube with that Excel and You can use SQL Report as an Drill Through this would be the ideal Option for your problem
in the Long Run.
Problem1: User dont need to know Macro. As part of Development you can write Macro to call the StoredProcedure and render the Result in the New Excel sheet on Double click on the Data Region of Excel Pivot. Share these Excel with Users.
You can Host the Cube in IIS with the XMLA Configuration and connect the Excel Pivot to this IIS XMLA Virtual Directory so the the Dimension Level Security can be applied and you dont need to change the Username and password to connect to the Cube for each
user. Security will be applied Based on the Windows Account. Check this URL on how to configure XMLA for Cube :http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/gg492140.aspx.
Problem2: If the Data Level Security is applied on a Single Level Dimension or on the Highest level of Hierarchy then, we wont have any issues since the Drill through happens only on the Data Member shown on the Excel Pivot is based on the
Rights applied on Cube(Stored Procedure Input <Dimension Level>=<Member 1,2..n> will take care of Dimension security).
If the Data Level Security is applied on the least level then Data Level Security in drill through can be applied with the Help of MetaData with the Windows UserName and its corresponding Dimension member level rights.(In the Stored procedures you can implement
Data Level Security with the help of Dynamic Queries with the Stored Procedures Input: <Dimension Level>=<Member 1,2..n> and Windows UserName).we tried Implmenting an Logic to read
the Security of cube with MDX and Fill this SQL Metadata table to automate this process. But we failed. you can try to do it to make it an complete Solution.

JTable: How do you get the sort indicator shown in the design guidelines ?

http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/at/book/Idioms4.html#996747
As opposed to Volume 1, they don't provide any code :-(
(http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/)

You need to put your own TableCellRenderer into the table header. You implement the same interface as an ordinary cell renderer, but you install it differently. Here's a snippet of my code that does this:
     private void setupHeaderRenderers()
          for (int i = 0; i < model_.getColumnCount(); i++)
               TableColumn tc = t_.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
               tc.setHeaderRenderer(new SortHeaderRenderer(/* my ctor args */));
     }and the renderer itself is as below. Apologies for dependencies on other stuff of mine, but you get the idea.
private class SortHeaderRenderer extends    DefaultTableCellRenderer
RenderInfo r_;
SortHeaderRenderer(RenderInfo r)
    r_ = r;
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(javax.swing.JTable table,
                                                Object value,
                                boolean isSelected,
                                                boolean hasFocus,
                                                int     row,
                                                int     column)
      if (table != null)
        JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
        if (header != null)
          setForeground(header.getForeground());
          setBackground(header.getBackground());
          setFont(header.getFont());
      setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
      setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
      setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
      setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LEFT);
      // Check if we are the primary sort column and if so, which
      // direction the sort is in
      if ((orderItems_ != null) && (orderItems_.contains(r_)))
        if (sortDescending_)
          setIcon(sortDescending__.getIcon());
        else
          setIcon(sortAscending__.getIcon());
      else
        setIcon(null);

Hello,
- Which version of Adobe Live Cycle Designer should I ask for?
above 8, can recommend you to install 8.1
- The integrated install should be in my machine or in the server?
don´t understand/ haven´t heard about this
- Is this install integrated in the SAP install CD or should I ask for a new license?
you need no extra licence because you´re a Developer:))
I can recommend you get it yourself to speed it up. Find the newest GUI patch a the LCD yourself:))
use these:
Adobe LiveCycle Designer
