Deployment (Redistrubution) CR2008 - bloated (large) files and what's the best practice

Post Author: basit
CA Forum: Deployment
I am a rookie to CR ; and started deployment(CRXII) with my POS program written in .Net VB 2005 and the msi was really large (85mb) ; I bought the latest version (CR2008) after reading that it's much smaller. . .
I have a dilemma and frankly donu2019t know which one of the packages to bundle with my redistribution or how to do this?
You given three options :-
1)      The 25mb; exe version u2013 This is great as itu2019s very much smaller yet when executed it requires you to insert a serial number? ; how can I use this without having the client insert my serial number.
2)     The msi version which is almost twice the size of the above
3)     The click one version which is like the one above just does have some language folders
Please assist ; thanking you in advance

You dont need to insert your serial number. Just press NEXT and go right past it leaving the field blank. This only works with CR2008, the XI runtime needed this number.

WhatÃÂ¢ÃÂÃÂs the best practice for this scenario?

Hi,
My users want the ability to change the WHERE and/or ORDER BY clause at runtime. They may define user preferences on each screen ( which is bind to a view object). They want to see the same records based on WHERE/ORDER BY defined on the last visit. That is why I keep the users preferences and load the screen based on that, using :
View.setWhereClause(...);
View.setOrderByClause(...);
View.executeQuery();
This works good when only one user working with the application but faced low performance when more than one user working with the application.
What are the points to increase the performance and what is the best practice for this scenario?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Sung,
I am talking only about 2 users in my testing. I am sure i missed something but could not recognize that.
This page is my custom query page including a tag to instantiate app module in stateful mode at the top <jbo:ApplicationModule..> and a tag to instantiate data source <jbo:Datasource...> and release tag at the bottom <jbo:ReleasePageResources..> and some java code in the middle(body). The java code constructed the query statement and then fires the query to set the view object based on the query statement using the above methods.
So, I am facing very slow performance(speed) when two clients load this page at the same time. Looks like the entire application locks for others when one client load this page and fire the query. i realized the battle neck is where executeQuery() is executing.
what do you think.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

What is the best practice in securing deployed source files

hi guys,
Just yesterday, I developed a simple image cropper using ajax
and flash. After compiling the package, I notice the
package/installer delivers the same exact source files as in
developed to the installed folder.
This doesnt concern me much at first, but coming to think of
it. This question keeps coming out of my head.
"What is the best practice in securing deployed source
files?"
How do we secure application installed source files from
being tampered. Especially, when it comes to tampering of the
source files after it's been installed. E.g. modifying spraydata.js
files for example can be done easily with an editor.

Hi,
You could compute a SHA or MD5 hash of your source files on
first run and save these hashes to EncryptedLocalStore.
On startup, recompute and verify. (This, of course, fails to
address when the main app's swf / swc / html itself is
decompiled)

I am trying to rebuild my iPhoto library and noticed my backup contains aliases (pointers?) and not the actual file. What's the best way to rebuild my library?

I am trying to rebuild my iPhoto library and noticed my backup contains aliases (pointers?) and not the actual file. What's the best way to rebuild my library?
Facts:
In moving to a new iMac, I copied the iPhoto library to an external HDD assuming that I would point the new iMac to the backed up iPhoto Library
All worked fine when I pointed the new library but noticed that some folders contained aliases and not the original file. So when I attempt to open that photo it can't find it because the alias is pointing to another drive.
I do have all original photos from a couple of external HDDs. In the folders titled, "Originals" (from older versions of iPhoto) and "Masters" (from current iPhoto)
I'm thinking I can create a new folder and drop the original files and make that my new iPhoto library. Is there a better way to rebuild my library? I do not want to create any future aliases.
Thanks in advance for any help!

do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it -- and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

What is the best practice for AppleScript deployment on several machines?

Hi,
I am developing some AppleScripts for my colleagues at work and I don't want to visit each of them to deploy my AppleScript on their Macs.
So, what is the best practice for AppleScript deployment on several machines?
Is there an installer created by the Automator available?
I would like to have something like an App to run which puts all my AppleScript relevant files into the right place onto a destination Mac.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

There's really no 'right place' to put applescripts. folder action scripts nees to go in ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts (or /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts), anything you want to appear in the script menu needs to go in ~/Library/Scripts (or /Library/Scripts), script applications should probably go in the Applications folder, but otherwise scripts can be placed anywhere. conventional places to put them are in ~/Library/Scripts or in a subfolder of ~/Library/Application Support if they are run by an application. The more important issue is to make sure you generalize the scripts: use the path to command to get local paths rather than hard-coding them in, make sure you test to make sure applications or unic executables you call are present ont he machine, use script bundles rather tna scripts if you scripts have private resources.
You can write a quick installer script if you want to make sure scripts go where you want them. Skeleton verion looks like this:
set scriptsFolder to path to scripts folder from user domain
set scriptsToExport to path to resource "xxx.scpt" in directory "yyy"
tell application "Finder"
duplicate scriptsToExport to scriptsFolder with replacing
end tell
say "Scripts are installed"
save this as a script application, then open the application pacckage and create a folder called "yyy" in the resources folder and copy your script "xxx.scpt" into it. other people can run the app to install the script.

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

Database Log File becomes very big, What's the best practice to handle it?

The log of my production Database is getting very big, and the harddisk is almost full, I am pretty new to SAP, but familiar with SQL Server, if anybody can give me advice on what's the best practice to handle this issue.
Should I Shrink the Database?
I know increase hard disk is need for long term .
Thanks in advance.

Hi Finke,
Usually the log file fills up and grow huge, due to not having regular transaction log backups. If you database is in FULL recovery mode, every transaction is logged in Transaction file, and it gets cleared when you take a log backup. If it is a production system and if you don't have regular transaction log backups, the problem is just sitting there to explode, when you need a point in time restore. Please check you backup/restore strategy.
Follow these steps to get transactional file back in normal shape:
1.) Take a transactional backup.
2.) shrink log file. ( DBCC shrinkfile('logfilename',10240)
The above command will shrink the file to 10 GB.(recommended size for high transactional systems)

"NEVER SHRINK DATA FILES", shrink only log file
3.) Schedule log backups every 15 minutes.

What's the best practice to manage the page file?

We have one Hyper-v Server running windows 2012 R2 with 128 GB RAM and 2 drives (C and D). It setup Automatically manage page file size for all drives. What's the best practice to manage the page file?
Bob Lin, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Install and Configure Windows, VMware, Virtualization and Cisco on http://www.HowToNetworking.com

For Hyper-V systems, my general recommendation is to set the page file to 1-4 GB. This allows for a mini-dump should something happen. 99.99% of the time, Microsoft will be able to figure out the cause of the problem from the mini-dump. It does not make
sense on a Hyper-V system to set aside enough space to capture all the memory on the system because only a very small portion of that memory is used by the parent partition. Most of the memory is under control of the individual VMs.
Yes, I had one of the Hyper-V product group tell me that I should let Windows manage it. A couple of times I saw space on my system disk disappear because the algorithm decided it wanted all the space for the page file. Made it so I couldn't
patch my systems. Went back in and set the page file to 1-4 GB and have not had any issues since.

I'd like Time Machine to backup my personal account's files separately from my guest account's files. Both have big files. What's the best way to do this? Should I connect 2 external HD to my new iMac, one for each account?

Since my new external hard drive is have a lot of space, I'm thinking of splitting it for Time Machine and external storage.
This is a common mistake and I highly advise against it.
1: TimeMachine saves states of changes and thus requires more room on the TM drive than the boot drive it's backing up.
2: Something happens to the TM drive, loss, theft, dropped, power surge, etc., you lose both backups.
3: The storage drive might become a portable need, with it being on the TM drive, now your increasing the risk to the TM backup that something could happen to it along with the storage drive, due to increased movement.
Seriously, have a read,

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?

From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck

What is the best practice concerning View Objects and List of values

Hi,
Let's take these two tables :
Market_Descriptions
Id
Name
Desc
Language_Id
Languages
Id
Code
Desc
Now, if I am generating these business components with the help of the wizard, I will be having two entities and two views.
If I am creating a list of value on the field Language_Id in Market_Descriptions table, showing the language code, everything works fine as long as this is drop as a Form but not as a table or read-only form.
What is the best practice for me to include/replace the language_id with the language code, since it is more user-friendly, on a read-only form or a table?
Thanks.

Hi,
Always have LOV on the field which we want show it on UI. Suppose based on below scenario, If you want to display Langaugae Description on UI, have LOV on Desc but not on Language_Id. Even though we can set display attribute in LOV configuration, but it will work only in forms but not in tables. In tables it will show language id instead of description.
Have LOV on Desc and make one more join with location Id in LOV configuration, so as soon as we select desc in LOV, location_id will be populated.
here is the join condition inside LOV
Languages.Desc = ViewAccessor.Desc
Languages.Id - ViewAccessor.Desc
Hope this will help you.

What is the best practice to create IDM user and target accts via recon

usecase:
LDAP<--->idm---->AD.
User exists in LDAP. IDM and AD are empty. Need to create IDM user and AD acct from LDAP data.
I can recon against LDAP and create the IDM user. But I cannot create AD acct in the same recon process. What is the best practice to do the above.

i think you have to have a "Per-account Workflow" set which creates the user in AD.

What is the best practice for creating master pages and styles with translated text?

I format translated text all the time for my company. I want to create a set of master pages and styles for each language and then import those styles into future translated documents. That way, the formatting can be done quickly and easily.
What are the best practices for doing this? As a company this has been tried in the past, but without success. I'd like to know what other people are doing in this regard.
Thank you!

I create a master template that is usually void of content, with the exception I define as many of the paragraph styles I believe can/will be used with examples of their use in the body of the document--a style guide for that client. When beginning a new document for that client, I import those styles from the paragraph styles panel.
Exception to this is when in a rush I begin documentation first, then begin new work. Then in the new work, I still pull in those defined paragraph and or object styles via their panels into the new work.
There are times I need new styles. If they have broader applicability than a one-off instance or publication, then I open the style template for that client and import that style(s) from the publication containing the new style(s) and create example paragraphs and usage instructions.
Take care, Mike
