Design Suggestion for a new setup for a small office

Hi Guys,
We have a client requirement to setup a small business office to connect to its Head Quaters.
Attached here with the sample High level design.
My Question here is the above mentioned load balancer can used for this setup or not??? It can be connected to once again a router???
Internet / Broadband BW would be 15 or 25 Mbps.
Regards
Karthik

Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

Set up each Mac for Time Machine backups in the normal way. Time Machine will keep each backup separate on the Time Capsule, so users will only be able to see the backups of their own Mac.
Yes....there are convoluted workarounds that might allow one user to see the backups of another.....IF...they know the administrator password of the "other" Mac.
As far as Internet sharing, all users will have access to the Internet if they have a wired or wireless connection. If a Mac connects using wireless, it is possible to limit the time that they are allowed to connect to the network.
For example, you might limit the ability to connect to the wireless from say each Weekday from 8 AM to 6 PM.
With a wired Ethernet connection, you cannot limit access times to the Internet.

Advise about setting up a permissons on Lion server for a small office.

What is the common wisdom and advise about setting up permissions optimally for a small office using OS X Lion Server as a file server? I thought I had this solved by setting the ACL permissions so that all users and appropriate groups can read and write all files on the server. This works great until a new file is created. Then it appears that the POSIX umask kicks in and takes priority over the ACL permissions. I need to allow group write permissions on all new files. My options seem to be:
Make everyone an admin - not great for obvious security reasons
Change the umask for the whole machine - also security problems, though perhaps fewer than the everyone-an-admin route above
Write a folder action applescript to add group write permission on all new files. This works fine if you have a static number of folders With new folders it has the problem: How do new folders created by non-admin users get this folder action automatically applied to them - some cronjob to hunt down the new folders; an applesscrpt folder action that adds a folder action to all new folders (sounds recursively complicated)?
Have a cron job regularly do something like `chmod -R 664` on all files. This will break during those between the cracks times between when someone creates a new file and when the cronjob runs - not ideal.
Seems like this should be easier which makes me think I'm missing something obvious.
Any help great appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Good-heart's advice is certainly your first step, but if you've already done that and still have the problem you've described, you might have the 10.7.3 ACL bug, particularly if your users and groups are in an OD or AD rather than being local accounts on the server. The problem is that ACL's for directory accounts are incorrectly ignored, resulting in POSIX permissions coming into play.
I've descibed my workaround for this here;
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18037703
I haven't yet tried the other trick I've read about, which is to ensure your Share's data directories are at least one level down on the volume - there is a post here on the Communities that mentions this;
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18028746
I seem to remember that this helped with an earlier version of AFP, if using external firewire or usb storage.
Let us know if you find a fix, it seems a number of people have problems with this.

Ian

Design Suggestions for Multiple DaqMX Task Streaming App?

I'm working on a LabVIEW application in which I'm streaming high-speed data to disk from multiple PXI devices simultaneously. Each device has its own DaqMX task, and all tasks stream to the same file. The PXI device configuration (which devices are in the chassis, which slots they're in, and which channels to read from each device) is determined at runtime.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a design model for this? To make matters worse, I'd like to be able to specify a channel to monitor its data during the streaming. I'm thinking the Producer-Consumer model is the basic approach, and I'm at the point where I have an array of DaqMX tasks, one for each device. I could probably extend that array to be an array of clusters containing:
   1) DAQ Command (e.g. Initialize, Start, Stop, Acquire, etc)
   1) Task ID
   2) Control reference to 2-D array (where each DaqMX read can be stored)
   3) Array of channel names (to allow selection of channel to be monitored
This could be passed as notifier data, to a data collection subVI, but the part I'm struggling with is finding the best way to run X number of tasks in parallel, where X is not known until runtime.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the input. With regards to the file format, the decision has been made by my superiors not to use TDMS - unfortunate, but NI hasn't provided the information to write a MatLab file reader, which is a requirement. So, I've created a custom file format tailored to the needs of my application, but generic enough to be used for other apps. With it, I've been able to stream 8 channels at 800KHz (4 channels each from 2 PXI-6120s) without breaking a sweat. However, the performance varies greatly depending on which slots the cards are in (but that's a whole different discussion - see the PXI forum for that one). Once NI solves that one, I'll feel a lot more comfortable.
I have already made reentrant subVIs that can perform a specific DAQ task. The problem with a for loop is that the VI sits and wait for a start trigger, then acquires the streaming data. I can't start the next VI because I'm in the first one. I thought about creating a data collection VI, and this VI would start up to 6 other VIs in parallel, based on how many and which cards were present. It's a bit messy, because each slot can contain one of two devices, so I'd need to check which type it was before calling it. I'm thinking I'll have to create the task list and the references to the data in the main GUI loop, and then pass this using a notifier or queue to the data collection loop.

Suggestion for what small printer for clamshell ibooks

Hi all
I need suggestions for small printers that can work with clamshells OS 10.3 and OS 9.2.

You've just learned a hard lesson. Put your current energy into your education, not finding a way to wallow in ignorance.
There already is a hardware device that will do what you want. It's called a "manual". In particular, the sections that relate to "where the program stores media". Pay very close attention to those sections and set up your computer so that all the scratch and storage pointers are aimed where you want. It's very simple to have them all go to one drive.
Then, when it's time to archive the project because you are starting a new project, just purchase another hard drive for the new project. They are absurdly inexpensive these days.
Remove the drive with your project to be archived from your computer (since you now know how to keep all the files organized, they will be all together) - and plug in a new disk for the next project.
If you want a backup, use carbon copy cloner to simply duplicate the drive (or simply just copy the relevant folders- you'll know which ones) to another drive (or get a RAID 1 device)
good luck,
x

Design suggestion for application-wide configuration properties

Hello all
I am seeking opinions on how to design an application in which multiple classes have access to a common set of configuration properties that may change at runtime.
Until now, I would create an abstract class dedicated to initializing the properties set and enabling access to them from anywhere in the application through appropriate get/set static methods (most probably using an internal java.util.Properties object). Lately, my confidence in that approach seems to diminish.
So, I thought I should ask... do you see any issues with the above approach? Would you suggest any alternatives?
What I am essentially looking for here is a best practice to stick with from now on.
Thanks in advance

For example a 24x7 service that is supposed to handle requests on port X is very unlikely to need to change to port Y while running.
Or what happens if you have a plugin architecture and someone changes the root plugin directory to another directory.On the other hand, the maximum draw distance in a virtual world, an application's "skin", or a filesharing client's bandwidth limit are, in my view, properties that may very well need to change at runtime.
Seems reasonable to me. That is the easy part. The hard part is
1. How/when do you reload
2. How do you code your app so it gets the new values and uses themAs for 1, apologies if I haven't explained correctly: I am talking about properties that may change programmatically at runtime, e.g., by a user through a configuration dialog. Ok.
I can think of at least one way to deal with 2 (classes interested in all or a few of the properties implement some property listener interface and accordingly re-get values when notified about changes).That is how you detect it. It has nothing to do with whether the current running process is in a state that allows changes to be made.
all over the code reflects a wise design decision vs using a singleton property manager, references to a single property manager object (maybe even a java.util.Properties object) passed around through constructors, approaches involving dependency injection (not relying on any framework though), or else.Depends on the application. For example with a distributed system propogating the changes correctly so systems are not out of sync can be problematic.
Depends on the context in which your user makes changes. If it is an admin then it has the same context has if you were using a file. In that case I would use a singleton.
If it is a user changing part of the system, then you can't use a singleton. In that case you would need a context object from which other code derives the configuration values it uses. That is a one layer hierarchy and of course more levels require more complexity via a context object for each level.

Design Suggestion for Custom ADF Application

Hi
I have a custom database table.
I have a custom database view which has query from multiple tables including the above table.
The custom table in the view is joined with other tables by columns like inventory_item_id, organization_id etc.
I have to show user a screen where the results of this view are shown in a table.
The user should be able to enter some data in the screen for these rows.
(he will be able to enter the data only for fields from my custom table)
When he press save button, we should enter the new data given by user into the custom table
along with some other values from view rows .. like inventory_item_id, organization_id etc ..
Can you suggest a best approach to achieve this ?
I have to use BC4J for Model and ADF For UI.
As far as my knowledge goes, I think we will not be able to do this with an updateable view since we might hit the error
ORA-01779: cannot modify a column which maps to a non key-preserved table
Is there a design pattern we can follow in BC4J so that this can be achieved?
Thanks for any help.
Sameer

Any view can be made updatable if you write INSTEAD OF triggers for it. That might be a good solution for you. You can also base a View Object on more than one Entity Object, and as long as there are good associations between the EOs it ought to work fine.

IBook design suggestion for Apple

For background, I've spent many years in the PC [but not Windows] world, and done plenty of work inside those spaghetti cable boxes. When I added a hard drive to my dual G5 powermac, I was duly impressed by the clean, elegant design, inside [!] the box.
Meanwhile, I realized the time had come to put a bigger hard drive into my iBook, moving from 20 Gb in two partitions, to 100 Gb in three. There is excellent photographic advice on the web for the procedure, which is intricate but straightforward. There was the little issue of a stripped screw head, and some breath holding while I used a power drill to turn a phillips into a flat head.
But all is well. Firewire target mode disk image and restore made that part of the process very simple, if time consuming. The new drive is faster and has a 16 Mb cache on board, so the iBook is more responsive.
To the point of this subject:
For some reason, the hard drive is buried in the bowels of the iBook, behind a wall of many many screws, phillips and torx head, to unscrew and screw, and cables to unplug and plug. Of all the hardware in there, the hard drive is probably the most likely to fail and need replacement.
It should be EASILY accessible!!!
For example, it could slide on rails similar to the ones that now hold it, and come out through a panel in the side where it sits. A panel that could be held by two screws [to make one think about opening it] and no more [to make it easy and quick].
Flipping out the keyboard to install an airport card takes 5 minutes. Replacing a hard drive should take no longer. It would save Apple techs a lot of time, too.
I'd like Apple to sprinkle some of that elegant design pixie dust onto this.
Please.

This is a user-to-user to forum, so it is unlikely that Apple will read your suggestion here.
Try using the Feedback Form. In the PowerBook drop-down menu, you will find the iBooks listed. Leave your suggestion there. I would have already upgraded my hard drive if it were as easy as it is on a Windows laptop.

Universe Design Suggestion for a Report

Hi Guys,
I am building a trend report from a fact table that was newly built in SQL server 2012.
Prior to this table there was a manual process of data importing into SQL Server and then bringing into BO universe for reports.
With the new change the fact table has data from both the old and new process.
Basically the column looks like -
Defect Type 2
1 - new process
2 - new process
3 - new process
4 - new process
Missing - old process
lost - old process
Found - old process
the developer has added id's instead of the description in the new process.
When I bring this in universe I join the id's to the look up table so that I can get the description.
My question to you is regarding the data that already has description from old process - How can I bring all together in one report or if you can can suggest me a way to do this trend report.
Also, there is a cut off date when the old process has moved to new code. OR Should I bring this in 2 different tables.
Any suggestions will be really helpful.
Thanks,
Jitan

I was thinking of putting a filter on the fact table and do the join with all dimensions. This will give me data going forward with the automated process.
For the manual process data that is sitting in the same table I will create a derived query to give me data for the old process and will bring it as another class.
I am just thinking by doing this if I can combine both the dataset into one at report level.
Let me know if i am going the right direction.
Thanks,
Jitan.

BI design suggestion for KPI's

Hi all,
Need experts help on this.
The customer has an online questionnaire that is collected across all the op. companies . The question will be an indicator that will have a value when the user fills it . It gets stored in a database. Being a question (indicator) to the end user it will be little elobarate for e.g How many male employees working in your company (except subcontractors) or what is the production volume. The value could be 100 or 12000KG respectively. Each question will have a validity period and a indicator ID, text in the database. This needs to be extracted into BI/BO for further analsyis based on the user responses.
My assumption would be that the indicator will become a keyfigure in BI and I assume we have restriction of 60 chars length for char and keyfigure text . Is there a way to handle this in SAP BW of is there better way in designing this in BI
Version we are going to use is SAP BI 7.01 and BO DS as ETL tool.
Thanks and Regards,
Srini

Hi,
Have you thought already on the solution like this:
The assumption is that you have X KPIs in the questionaries .
In BW cube you do not create X KeyFigures but only one or two (one per quantities and one per values in currency)
In the fact table in the cube ther is an indicator what kind of KPI it is (the name of the KPI). As this indicator is build as characteristic you can maintain texts and attributes of KPIs.
The fact table looks like this:
KeyFigure1   KeyFigure2      KPI                         Customer
100                    -                 Name of the KPI 1          A
-                      1200             Name of the KPI 2        A
100                 -                   Name of the KPI 3         B
etc...........................................
Additionally you can switch on some attributes of the KPI as navigational characteristic in the cube so you can report on this.
Such design is flexible and allows to load data without any changes in the BI even if new KPIs has been created in questionaries.
In the report you can use hierarchies or report in the standard way (with columns) e.g.
HIERARCHY REport
Name of KPI 1                  100
    Name of the KPI 2         1200
or STANDARD COLUMN BASED REPORT
Customer A           KPI 1             KPI        2             KPI 3
A                           100                 1200                  -

Design suggestions for a four 6500 layer 3 network?

Hi folks,
We've just purchased two 6509's with redundant sup720's and two 6506's with sup32's, and I need to configure them to replace our aging Extreme switches.
Two will be in the MDF on ground floor, and two in the IDF on second floor. All floors have their own VLAN and IP subnet, and there is a datacenter VLAN for servers, and a firewall VLAN acting as a glue network to the internet.
I'll use GigE channels for trunks between them in a fully meshed configuration.
My question concerns how to configure the VSI's on each switch. Each subnet has a default gateway, but how to virtualize this among the sup modules? It seems that HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP are available, with GLBP being preferred(correct me if I'm wrong).
Would I need to configure a separate VSI for each VLAN on each switch, then setup GLBP for all of them? Can this even be done?
Help please because I'm out of my depth on this one. Thanks for any responses,
Ian

Couple of options here:
1) You keep the Sup32's in the IDF Layer2 only, connecting with DOT1Q trunks to the 720s in the MDF. Only the 720s have the Layer3 SVIs.
2) You configure the Sup32s as Layer3, with 'no switchport' Layer3 links to the 720s in the MDF. Each Sup32 has an SVI for each VLANs on its switch.
Option 1 is your typical Campus Wide VLAN approach.
Option 2 is a Routed Campus Design.
Take a look at the attached document.
Hope this helps.
Please rate all helpful posts.

Brad

Design Suggestions for Default Web Template

I am starting to develop some web applications for 7.x and do not want to use the default BEx Web Template only because it offers so much functionality that either is too complicated for users, not needed by users, or we don't want them using.
I am wondering how to approach this effort in developing a good default web template. Does it make sense to use a default template since each query can be so different?
Does anyone have any suggestions about what to include, exclude and why? Any details about the template you designed would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Single server as Soft AP, DC, DNS, DHCP for a small office

The server is running 2012 R2 Foundation with a wired network for internet (Comcast). It has a WiFi adapter so it can host a wireless network (as a Soft AP). The WiFi host has a static IP 1.1.1.1.
On the server I have setup AD, DNS, and DHCP services (all bind to that static IP).
All clients need to connect server and internet via WiFi, and join the domain for work.
But it looks like the DHCP/DNS services don't like the virtual adapter - although all clients can connect, they cannot get their IP.
Without AD/DNS/DHCP I can share internet connection with ICS perfectly, so I think the hosted WiFi network is setup correctly.
I tried to remove the DHCP service, and use ICS to assign IP - it works, but clients cannot see the DNS server and thus cannot join AD.
What am I missing? Thanks for your help!

It is never a good idea to run a DC with two NICS. It causes all sorts of problems. (The only exception was SBS server which was designed as a one-box solution). Also, a domain will not run behind ICS. If you are running a domain, the domain clients
must use the local DNS (on the DC) for DNS, not the DNS relay system of ICS. RRAS/NAT will work because you can configure it so that it does not run its own DHCP function. ICS is not configurable.
Even if you overcome that problem, you still have the multihomed DC problem. It really isn't worth the effort to save a few bucks.

Need a printer recommendation for a small office

hey folks, hoping someone might be able to suggest a recommendation for our business. We’ve had an OkiData color laser printer that’s lasted over 6 years but it’s been giving us some trouble over the last year and yesterday it stopped printing with an error we can’t resolve. Would have to bring a tech in to fix and we’d basically already decided that once this thing bit the dust we’d move on to something else. It’s time.
We are looking for something in the $200-$400 range, would consider going a little higher if it was clearly worth it. We want something that connects wireless, prints quickly and reliably in Snow Leopard over an Airport Extreme network, decent color print quality is important but doesn’t have to be photo quality (we have an HP Photosmart for that kind of stuff), and it needs to have reasonable printing cost per page. We don’t print a tremendous amount of stuff, but we probably go through 100-200 pages a day and it adds up.
Was looking at the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless and that looks like a nice unit except half the people who buy one hate it. Looks like HP quality control is lacking and if you get a good unit, great, but the odds are good you’ll get a lousy one.
Also looking at the Brother HL-3070CW, but reviews say it has a high consumable cost.
Basically, the more I look into this the more I head spins and now I've got myself wrapped around the axle and don’t know what to do.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

I would steer clear of the 500 express. Since you seem to be new to cisco products, I would use the opportunity and buy what most of your potential customers already have. Get yourself a pix/asa and a 2900 series switch as first poster suggested. If you are interested in certifications, you will need to learn the command line interface. The 500 express will do you no good as it is all gui. This is only my opinion of course. Oh, and did I see not expensive and cisco in the same sentence. :)
