Building Resource Groups Best Practices

Hi. I'm looking for some advice on best practices when building resource groups to support sales/telesales.
Any information would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Monica

Based on the organization sales structure customer maintains,you create sales groups.Use territories for geography based customer ,lead accesses etc...please post if you find any alternatives and other good practices..

Building complex flash game in Flash Builder 4 - Workflow/Best Practices

I'm investigating switching to Flash Builder 4 for building a complex game that currently lives purely inside Flash CS4. CS4 is a pretty terrible source code editor and debugger. It's also quite unstable. Many crashes caused by bad behavior in the SWF will take out the entire IDE so are almost impossible to debug. And I've heard other horror stories. To be clear, for this project I'm not interested in the Flex API, just the IDE.
Surprisingly, it seems Flash Builder 4 isn't really set up for this type of development. I was hoping for an "Import FLA" option that would import my Document Class, set it as the main entry point, and figure out where other assets live and construct a new project. What is the best workflow for developing a project like this?
What I tried:
-Create a new Actionscript Project in the same directory where my CS4 lives
-Set the primary source file to match the original project's source file and location
-Set my main FLA as "export to SWC", and added "SWC PATH" to my flash builder 4 project.
-Compile and run.. received many errors due to references to stage instance. I changed these to GetChildByName("stagename"). Instead, should I declare them as members of the main class? (this would mimic what flash CS4 does).
-My project already streams in several external SWF's. I set these to "Export SWC" to get compile-time access to classes and varaibles. This works fine in cs4, the loaded SWF's behave as if they were in the native project. Is the same recommended with FB4?
-Should I also be setting the primary FLA as "export to swc"? If not, how do I reference it from flex, and how does flex know which fla it should construct the main stage with?
Problems:
-I'm getting a crash inside a class that is compiled in one of the external SWF's (with SWC). I cannot see source code for the stack inside this class at all. I CAN see member variables of the class, so symbol information exists. And I do see the stack with correct function names. I even see local variables and function parameters in the watch window! But no source. Is this a known bug, or "by design"? Is there a workaround? The class is compiled into the main project, but I still cannot see source. If FLEX doesn't support source level debugging of SWC's, then it's pretty useless to me. The project cannot live as a single SWF. It needs to be streaming and modular for performance and also work flow. I can see source just fine when debugging the exact same SWC/SWF through CS4.
-What is the expected workflow with artists/designers working on the project? Currently they just have access to all the latest source, and to test changes they run right through flash. Will they be required to license Flash Builder as well so they can test changes? Or should I be distributing the main "engine" as a SWF, and having it reference other SWF files that artists can work on? They they compile their SWF in CS4, and to test the game, they can load the SWF I distribute.
A whitepaper on this would be awesome, since I think a lot of folks are trying to go this direction. I spent a long time searching the web and there is quite a bit of confusion on this issue, and various hacks/tricks to make things work. Most of the information is stale from old releases (AS2!).
If a clean workflow I would happily adopt Flash Builder 4 as the new development tool for all the programmers. It's a really impressive IDE with solid performance, functional intellisense, a rich and configurable interface, a responsive debugger..I could go on and on. One request is shipping with "visual studio keyboard layout" for us C++ nerds.
Thanks very much for reading this novel!

Flash builder debugging is a go! Boy, I feel a bit stupid, you nailed the problem Jason - I didn't have "Permit Debugging set". I didn't catch it because debugging worked fine in CS4 because, well, CS4 doesn't obey this flag, even for externally loaded SWF files (I think as long as it has direct access to the SWC). Ugh.
I can now run my entire, multi SWF, complex project through FB with minimal changes. One question I do have:
In order to instantiate stage instances and call the constructor of the document class, I currently load the SWF file with LoaderContext. I'm not even exporting an SWC for the main FLA (though I may, to get better intellisense). Is this the correct way of doing it? Or should I be using , or some other method to pull it into flex? They seem to do the same thing.
The one awful part about this workflow is that since almost all of my code is currently tied to symbols, and lives in the SWF, any change i make to code must first be recompiled in CS4, then I have to switch back to FB. I'm going to over time restructure the whole code base to remove the dependency of having library symbols derive from my own custom classes. It's just a terrible work flow for both programmers and artists alike. CS5 will make this better, but still not great. Having a clean code base and abstracted away assets that hold no dependencies on the code seems like the way to go with flash. Realistically, in a complex project, artists/designers don't know how to correctly set up symbols to drive from classes anyway, it must be done by a programmer. This will allow for tighter error checking and less guess work. Any thoughts on this?
Would love to beta test CS5 FYI seeing as it solves some of these issues.

How are you launching the debug session from Flash Builder? Which SWF are you pointing to?
Here's what I did:
1) I imported your project (File > Import > General > Existing project...)
2) Create a launch configuration (Run > Debug Configuration) as a Web Application pointing to the FlexSwcBug project
3) In the launch config, under "URL or path to launch" I unchecked "use default" and selected the SWF you built (I assume from Flash Pro C:\Users\labuser\Documents\FLAs\FlexSwcBug\FlexSwcBugCopy\src\AdobeBugExample_M ain.swf)
4) Running that SWF, I get a warning "SWF Not Compiled for Debugging"
5) No problem here. I opened Flash Professional to re-publish the SWF with "Permit debugging" on
6) Back In Flash Builder, I re-ran my launch configuration and I hit the breakpoint just fine
It's possible that you launched the wrong SWF here. It looks like you setup DocumentClass as a runnable application. This creates a DocumentClass.swf in the bin-debug folder and by default, that's what Flash Builder will create a run config for. That's not the SWF you want.
In AdobeBugExample_Main.swc, I don't see where classCrashExternal is defined. I see that classCrashMainExample is the class and symbol name for the blue pentagon. Flash Builder reads the SWC fine for me. I'm able to get code hinting for both classes in the SWC.

Resource class best practice

I have created a reserved context with 20% min and max = to min in every resource
including sticky.
I also have the default resource class
I have also created another resource with 20% sticky but left everything else at default 0-100%
our network traffic doesnt carry a heavy load on the new loadbalancer..but what is a good rule of thumb?
most of the traffic is http and at this point we will create about 2 contexts after the Admin

Hello!
This is a very pertinent question, however as many things in life there is no one size fits all here.
We basically recommend, as best practice, to allocate for each specific context only the estimated needed resources. These values should always come from a previous study on the network patterns/load.
To accomodate for growth and scalability it is strongly advised to initially keep as many resources reserved as possible and allocate the unused resources as needed. To accomplish this goal, you should created a reserved resource class, as you did already, with a guarantee of 20 to 40 percent of all ACE resources and configure a virtual context solely with the purpose of ensuring that these resources are reserved.
As you might already know ACE protects resources in use, this means that when decreasing a context's resources, the resources must be unused before then can be reused by other context. Although it is possible to decrease the resource allocations in real time, it typically requires additional overhead to clear any used resources before reducing them.
Based on the traffic patterns, number of connections, throughput, concurrent SSL connections , etc, for each of the sites you will be deploying you will have a better idea on what might be the estimated needed resources and then assign them to each of the contexts. Thus this is something that greatly depends on customer's network environment.
Hope this helps to clarify your doubts.

Oracle Identity Manager - automated builds and deployment/Best practice

Is there a best practice as for directory structure for repository in version control system?
Do you recommend to keep the whole xellerate folder + separate structure for xml files and java code? (Considering fact that multiple upgrades can occur over the time)
How custom code is merged to the main application?
How deployment to Weblogic application server occur? (Do you create your own script or there is an out of the box script that can be reused)
I would appreciate any guidance regarding this matter.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
You can use any IDE (Eclipse, Netbeans) for development.
For, Getting started with OIM API's using Eclipse, please follow these steps
1. Creating the working folder structure
2. Adding the jar/configuration files needed
3. Creating a java project in Eclipse
4. Writing a sample java class that will call the API's
5. Debugging the code with Eclipse debugger
6. API Reference
1. Creating the working folder structure
The following structure must be created in the home directory of your project (Separate project home for each project):
<PROJECT_HOME>
\ bin
\ config
\ ext
\ lib
\ log
\ src
The folders will store:
src - source code of your project
bin - compiled code of your project
config - configuration files for the API and any of your custom configuration files
ext - external libraries (3'rd party)
lib - OIM API libraries
log - local logging folder
2. Adding the jar/configuration files needed
The easiest way to perform this task is to copy all the files from the OIM Design Console
folders respectively in the <PROJECT_HOME> folders.
That is:
<XEL_DESIGN_CONSOLE_HOME>/config -> <PROJECT_HOME>/config
<XEL_DESIGN_CONSOLE_HOME>/ext -> <PROJECT_HOME>/ext
<XEL_DESIGN_CONSOLE_HOME>/lib -> <PROJECT_HOME>/lib
3. Creating a java project in Eclipse
+ Start Eclipse platform
+ Select File->New->Project from the menu on top
+ Select Java Project and click Next
+ Type in a project name (For example OIM_API_TEST)
+ In the Contents panel select "Create project from existing source",
click Browse and select your <PROJECT_HOME> folder
+ Click Finish to exit the wizard
At this point the project is created and you should be able to browse
trough it in Package Explorer.
Setting src in the build path:
+ In Package Explorer right click on project name and select Properties
+ Select Java Build Path in the left and Source tab in the right
+ Click Add Folder and select your src folder
+ Click OK
4. Writing a sample Java class that will call the API's
+ In Package Explorer, right click on src and select New->Class.
+ Type the name of the class as FirstAPITest
+ Click Finish
Put the following sample code in the class:
import java.util.Hashtable;
import com.thortech.xl.util.config.ConfigurationClient;
import Thor.API.tcResultSet;
import Thor.API.tcUtilityFactory;
import Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf;
public class FirstAPITest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
System.out.println("Startup...");
System.out.println("Getting configuration...");
ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting config =
ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
System.out.println("Login...");
Hashtable env = config.getAllSettings();
tcUtilityFactory ioUtilityFactory = new tcUtilityFactory(env,"xelsysadm","welcome1");
System.out.println("Getting utility interfaces...");
tcUserOperationsIntf moUserUtility =
(tcUserOperationsIntf)ioUtilityFactory.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf");
Hashtable mhSearchCriteria = new Hashtable();
mhSearchCriteria.put("Users.First Name", "System");
tcResultSet moResultSet = moUserUtility.findUsers(mhSearchCriteria);
for (int i=0; i<moResultSet.getRowCount(); i++){
moResultSet.goToRow(i);
System.out.println(moResultSet.getStringValue("Users.Key"));
System.out.println("Done");
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
Replace the "welcome1" with your own password.
+ save the class
To run the example class perform the following steps:
+ Click in the menu on top Run, and run "Create, Manage, and run Configurations" wizard. (In the menu, this can be either "run..." or "Open Run Dialog...", depending on the version of Eclipse used).
+ Right click on Java Application and select New
+ Click on arguments tab
+ Paste the following in VM arguments box:
-Djava.security.manager -DXL.HomeDir=.
-Djava.security.policy=config\xl.policy
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=config\authwl.conf
-DXL.ClientClassName=%CLIENT_CLASS%
(please replace the URL, in ./config/xlconfig.xml, to your application server if not running on localhost or not using the default port)
+ Click Apply
+ Click Run
At this point your class is executed. If everything is correct, you will see the following output in the Eclipse console:
Startup...
Getting configuration...
Login...
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.opensymphony.oscache.base.Config).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Getting utility interfaces...

Content filters based on Group Best Practice

What is best practice for Content filters based on Group.
What we wanna accomplish.
We have few groups but i'll make an example on two.
We have one group that have allowed "Media" and another group that have allowed "Exe".
What is best practice if one user is in both group.
How would you do Content filtering?
I dont see in Content filtering condition
if (Envelope Recipient does not mach group) then Block.
Is the best way to create first?
If (attachment.type="Media") then (insert header="sometext);
and after in Content filter below
if (Envelope Recipient) and (Header does not contain "sometext") then Block.

What are Resource Bundle Best Practices techniques for Enterprise App?

Regarding JDeveloper: 11.1.1.6.0, Studio Edition
I was wondering if someone could provide advice on Best Practices for managing Resource Bundles for an international Enterprise Application.
I have been reading textbooks and throughout the web, and I can find different options available. And I can find cautionary tales to get it right at the beginning of Development, but I cannot find Best Practices suggestions.
For instance:
- Should I use XLIFF Resource Bundle, Properties Bundle, or List Resource Bundle?
- What are the benefits and disadvantages of storing the Key/Value pairs in the database?
- It seems that storing in the db would make maintenance easier, because applications do not need to be redeployed, but would they be slower?
- One textbook indicates that "One Bundle per Project" is preferred for ViewController Project, and "One Bundle Per File" is preferred for Model Project. However, I cannot help but think if the whole Enterprise used just one Resource Bundle, it would save typing cust_id/Customer Number in 10 different Bundles.
- One text indicates how to maintain translated versions of Access Keys, if the Bundle is a Properties Bundle, but provides no assistance for other Resource Bundles.
Advice regarding Best Practices would be quite helpful.
Sincerely,
Arie

Anyone?

When to use Resource Plans - best practice?

when would a Resource plan best be used instead of simply building a team within a project file with generic resources?
thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
The resource plan is meant to be used in an early planning phase before starting scheduling the project phases. The resource plan allows you entering the workload planned by resource skills by time period. It could also be by named resources if they are
already identified in this early phase (but usually they are not). The resource plan is really useful when you start using Project from the business case before the project even really started. Doing so, you'll be able to perform portfolio analysis and scenario
and manage your pipeline of projects based on the capacity available.
Then as soon as you are able to create a more detailed plan, you switch to MS Project were you can assign resources (generic and/or named) to phases/tasks. Note that you have a parameter in the resource plan which trigger how the capacity is calculated:
from the resource plan: in the early phase when you just have a resource plan,
from the project plan: when all your workload is transcrribed in the project plan and the resource plan is either empty or redundant,
from the project plan until : when the project plan contains the workload until a certain date; after this date, the resource are not yet identified and Project takes the workload from the resource plan to calculate the capacity.
Hope this helps,
Guillaume Rouyre, MBA, MVP, P-Seller |

P6 Resource Manageme Best Practices

Does anyone have any documented best practices on how to
use P6 client & web versions for managing resources
(capacity planning)? I am a resource manager (I manage PM
resources) and I was wondering how to effectively use the
tool to allocate and monitor my resources from a capacity
planning point of view.

Capacity planning is basically being able to monitor
your resources' allocation as well as plan them
(allocate) out in the future for future work with the
awareness that you are not overallocated them based on
the threshold that you (as a resource manager)
determines.
For example, I have
PM' that are working on projects today and new
projects are coming in that need PM's. I need someway
to both view their current allocation based on the
projects they are on, view what I may have originally
allocated them for on those projects, and as well view
any future commitments that I may have made with them
or projects have planned out. Once I have this
information, then I can make a decision on if I can
allocate them to a new project and for how much time.

Operating system image build and management best practices?

how do we create gold images for servers/desktops,
Best practices image management,
How do we control changes?
How do we prevent unauthorized changes (installation of software)?
What tools we can use for above.

I use MDT 2013 Lite Touch to create my images
http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2014/03/create-customised-reference-image-with.html
You should use in-built ConfigMgr Role Based Access Control to manage images afterwards (look at the Operating System Deployment Manager role).

MySQL custom build from sources best practices advices

Hi,
These days I'm setting up something that could be called a home server, basically a web server with DB support.
Of course it's based on Arch Linux (probably not the best choice while everyone around is speaking about CentOS, RHLE, Debian, etc as server-oriented linuxes, anyway I hope Arch is not worse).
Every application I need is available in packages, but the idea is to build every app to a custom and better organized location.
I'm not a fan of the applications' distribuition in /bin /sbin /lib /var /etc ...
I embrace the philosophy of "one application in one place" with a structure similar to
/appdir
|---/app1
|---/bin
|---/lib
|---/conf
|---/docs
|---/logs
|---/tmp
that's why I would like to build all my applications using the same pattern.
Now I want to build the MySQL database server, but the process it's not straightforward like for other applications.
I use the following configure inspired from --help, MySQL docs and PKGBUILD provided by the Arch mysql package:
CFLAGS="-fPIC -march=amdfam10 -mtune=amdfam10 -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -DBIG_JOINS=1 -fomit-frame-pointer" \
CXXFLAGS="-fPIC -march=amdfam10 -mtune=amdfam10 -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -DBIG_JOINS=1 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" \
./configure \
--sysconfdir=/usr/local/apps/mysql/conf \
--prefix=/usr/local/apps/mysql \
--exec-prefix=/usr/local/apps/mysql \
--sbindir=/usr/local/apps/mysql/sbin \
--docdir=/usr/local/apps/mysql/docs \
--mandir=/usr/local/apps/mysql/man \
--datarootdir=/usr/local/apps/mysql/share \
--libexecdir=/usr/local/apps/mysql/sbin \
--localstatedir=/usr/local/apps/mysql/data \
--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static \
--with-zlib-dir=bundled \
--enable-assembler \
--without-debug \
--without-docs \
--without-readline \
--with-mysqld-user=mysql \
--with-libwrap \
--with-charset=utf8 \
--with-collation=utf8_general_ci \
--with-extra-charsets=binary,ascii,cp1250,cp1251,koi8r,latin1,latin2,latin5,utf8 \
--with-embedded-server \
--with-unix-socket-path=/var/run/mysqld.sock \
--enable-local-infile \
--with-plugins=partition,ftexample,blackhole,csv,heap,innobase,innodb_plugin
Could someone with a deeper understanding of the process to give me some advices about optimization, plugins, etc, please?
I want to build a fast server without unnecessary stuff.
Some questions are about paths and directories:
1) is it possible to get the pattern described above without having paths like mysql/mysql/..., mysql/lib/mysql/<files>, mysql/include/mysql/<files> but mysql/lib/<files>, etc ?
2) is it OK to delete mysql-test and sql-bench directories if I don't need them ?

Locale Resource Bundle Best Practice

Hi
I have a Flex application that loads it's locale resource bundle from a service.
So when the httpservice loads the bundle it populates an instance of a class "I18NBundle" that contains all the bundle properties. For instance you could do:
i18nBundle.hello_message and it would return "Hello"
I'm currently using Cairngorm for this project so this i18nBundle instance it's on the model locator.
What I'm seeing and that I don't like is that for a component be able to get the bundle it must access to the model locator and then to the i18nBundle.
Instead of that what I would like is that each component doesn't rely on this for getting the bundle.
I guess I could create a "bundle" property on each component class and then pass it the reference to the bundle when it is instanciated. It seems it could be messy and a difficult task to initialize this property in some cases for instance on a datagrid cell renderer.
Other could be transforming the I18NBundle class into a singleton and then when the service response it's recieved the singleton it's initialized. Since all application components should/must access the same locale bundle I guess this could be a better option.
What do you think about this?
Do you think there is some a better way to achieve this with Flex?
Any opinion or recommendation would be appreciatted.
(I don't wish to use the Adobe Flex proposal of having the properties file on the Flex project and the compiling them into swf.)
thanks in advance.
Polaco.
ps: If you think I haven't expressed myself correctly please let me know and I will rewrite it.

I have managed to extend IResourceBundle and added it to ResourceManager.
The only problem now is that my bundle does not represent a language and it doesn't need a name either.
Since the localization part is done on the webapplication and then the apporpiate bundle returned in the request's response.
So it's locale attribute value is "".
And it's name is "".
I can display a property correctly if I use the following code:
(resourceManager.getResourceBundle('','')).content.helloMessage
but I doesn't work if I try to retrieve it like:
resourceManager.getString("", "helloMessage");
any ideas ?
thanks

Availability Groups Best Practice

When setting up the underlying cluster portion in Windows is it best to use the Node & Disk Majority or Node & File Share?
John M. Couch

Hello,
It's best to use what you can use and are comfortable with. If your file share isn't highly redundant then there really is no different between using the two. If your file share is highly redundant you may get a more solid voting solution using the file
share.
Edit:
It also has different flexibilities. For example, if using AOAGs then clustered shared drives isn't needed - so you can actually get away with local storage on each node. Maybe you don't have a SAN or NAS that makes it possible to setup clustered storage
and must use a file share. It always depends.

Range Extender best practices

Does anyone have any advice or resources on best practices when using a range extender?
I have a **bleep** client who has a large house. their e4200 router is one side of the house while their updstairs bedrooms are on the other side and they complain about horrible coverage.
We've tried the PLW400 and they didn't like having 2 SSIDs. So now we're trying the RE2000 and they are not thrilled about that either. I have yet to get specifics. Maybe it's too far away from the router, I dunno...
I should probably move the e4200 to a more central location in the house but there is no ethernet jacks their to connect to the modem.
So does any one else have any thoughts?

Did you check the thread on your last post (RE: e4200 and PLEK400...how to use the same SSID???)? I had made my insights on your previous post regarding the PLW400 SSID concern/problem.
Please try to check this link on how to maximizing the use of Linksys Wireless-N Range Extenders.
I would also suggest that you try to get the EA6500 or other EA series of routers. to have a more wireless range and speed, it might be an E4200 issue as well.

Best practices for building menus using resource bundles?

Greetings; I am curious to find out what the current best practices people are using to build menus/menu bars using resource bundles, specifically ListResourceBundle.
What I am trying to figure out is how best to write my Swing application so it does not need to know what menu items it needs to grab from the resource bundle.
The only idea I have come up with is this:
class MyBundle extends ListResourceBundle {
private Object[][] contents = {
{"menubar", { {"menu.file.item", "blah"}, ....} }
}Inside the GUI class:
Object[][] menubar = resourceBundle.getObject("menubar");I would then iterate over the menu bar items and build the menu. I would have to use a naming scheme and then parse appropriately to know when to start a new menu, when a submenu occurs, etc.
Is this the common practice, or does anyone know of a more clever way of doing this? I've searched various FAQs and googled about, but I have yet to come across any sort of tutorial or page that covers this.

Anyone have any input on this? Am I close to the solution people are
using out in real production environments?
