DFSR Replicated Folder Best Practice

I have been looking for something that documents a DFSR best practice around the number of replicated folders per replication group.  Specifically, I found a reference in the forum post
here to a best practice published somewhere that there should be a 1:1 mapping between RFs and RGs.  Other than the link above, I've had no luck with any of my searches in finding anyone else with this question nor have I found any best practices
in this space.
I've got a number of RGs with multiple replicated folders, and it works fine, but it leads to management headaches if we need to move one folder to a new server in the same RG.  I'm considering moving to a 1:1 configuration and migrating those RGs with
more than one RF to a single RF per RG, but I'd like a little backup on this.  Where might I find best practices for this?  If there aren't any, then relevant discussions that I've not seen on this or other forums would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jamie,
Here are several articles which should help on this topic. First one is a blog:
Microsoft Windows: Make the Move to DFS
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg690154.aspx
And actually "1:1" or "x:1" are both supported in setup replication groups. It depends on your requirement. "1:1" is easier for management as you said, while sometimes we just need to replicate a batch of folders together.

  • Best practice for iTunes' music folder

    i keep my music on an external drive, but want itunes to be able to play the songs.
    currently, the itunes music folder is set to its default location. i changed the preference to prevent iTunes from copying music to this location. i added music to iTunes using File | 'Add folder to Library' menu.
    my friend, who also has his music on an external drive, set his itunes music folder to the Music folder on his external drive.
    what are the differences between these two approaches? what are the issues?
    is there a best practice for using iTunes w/ music stored on an external drive?
    thanks for your time.
    craig

    Thanks Paul for helping
    I am getting the symbol and can locate the song but it is very time consuming and I can't do whole albums .
    I tried dragging the entire music folder into iTunes . Is this it , iTunes Music Library.xml ? These are all the files and folders I found
    iTunes 3 Music Library Data file
    iTunes 4 Music Library Data File
    iTunes 4 Music Library (Old) Data File
    iTunes Music folder
    iTunes Music Library.xml document
    Temp File Document
    I unchecked the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder "
    before I dragged the xml. doc into the iTunes symbol in the dock .
    This seems to have made matters worse . Now I can't find the file at all except through the finder .

  • Best practice for making changes to Oracle apps business views and BAs/fold

    HI
    The oracle BI solution comes with pre-defined Business Views- database views and Business Areas and folders. If we want to customize those database views or BAs and folders what will be the best practice in order to avoid losing it during any upgrades.
    For ex Oracle out-of box Order Management BA that we are using heavily needs some additional fields to be added to Order Header and Order Lines folders and we also want to add some custom folders to this BA.
    If we do the changes to the database views behind this BA would they be lost during the upgrade or do we have to copy(duplicate) those views, updated them and create a custom BA and folders against those views.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you are adding new folders then just add them to the Oracle Business Area. The business area is just a collection of folders. If the business area was changed in an upgrade the new folder would not be deleted.
    If you want to add fields to the existing folders/views then you have 2 options. Add the field to the defining base view (these are the views beginning OEBV and OEFV) and then regenerate the business views. This may be overwritten if the view is upgrade but this is unlikely.
    Alternatively, copy the view to create a new version and then map the old folder to the new view and refresh. You may need to re-map the folder if the folder is upgraded, but at least you have a single folder used by both Oracle and custom reports.

  • Best practice for infoview and which folder to save webi or crystal reports

    All,
    I was wondering what are your thought about the following question.Imagine you have a customer using at the same time webi reports and also crystal reports against BW.
    The thing is that he is transporting the crystal report thru SAP using the rsadmin transaction to manage his crystal reports, but also use the SAP transport to move them to PROD .As far as webi, he is using the import wizard to move them to PROD. \
    As you know the crystal reports will end up into an SAP folder .. something that is such as SAP/(description of the menu role).
    Well webi reports happen to be inside the public folder.
    The question was .. what would be the best practice
    1 u2013 store all your crystal reports against BW in the SAP menu roles as it is ending up thru the SAP transport and have the webi reports inside the public folder ?
    2 u2013 Copy your webi reports from the public folder to the SAP /Menu role folder where my crystal reports are ?
    3 u2013 copy your crystal reports from the SAP/(menu role folder) to the Public folder ?
    Let me know what is your feeling as best practice
    Thank you
    Philippe

    Just a hint:
    The path SAP/2.0 is not mandatory. You can configure the SAP BW publisher on the BW side (transaction /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN) so that your reports will be stored in another folder on the BOE side. Please note that the addition of the role name in the path cannot be overrided.

  • Best Practices for Removing Shots from BDMV folder

    CS6 Production Premium Suite
    Win7x64
    Canon XA10
    I would appreciate feedback on the best practices for the following situation:
    Using Windows Explorer, I copy the BDMV folder from the XA10 to my Talk2 project folder.
    The BDMV folder has three one hour shots (talks) where each shot is one hour called Talk1, Talk2, and Talk3.
    Each shot consists of several MTS files in the STREAM folder since MTS files have a maximum file size so a new MTS file is created when a given MTS file reaches the maximum file size.
    Since I only want to have Talk2 stuff in my Talk2 project folder, I need to remove the Talk1 and Talk3 stuff from the BDMV folder.
    I delete the Talk1 and Talk3 MTS files from the STREAM folder.
    I delete the Talk1 and Talk3 CPI files from the CLIPINF folder.
    I leave the PLAYLIST folder as is.
    Using the Media Browser, I import Talk2 (which consists of two MTS files).
    I edit the clip.
    This procedure seems to work, but I do not know if there are any "got you" issues.
    Thanks in advance.

    Oh, don't do it that way.  I know a lot of people do, heck, my boss does, but it's just asking for trouble.
    Treat your card as if it was your original tape master (because it is).  It is the most important thing you have.  Don't delete or move any part of it. 
    If you want to break up the talks, do it as you shoot them.  Use separate cards for each talk and archive each one separately.  There is too much valuable information in the structure of the card format.  You may not need it now but your editing program may need it later.

  • Best practice to populate metadata of the content based on the folder

    Hi,
    What is the best practice to follow to automatically populate metadata of a content being checked-in based on the folder in which it is coming in?!
    The folder I have may be a contribution folder or a collab project folder.
    But I would like to populate the metadata of the content automatically when the content is dropped into a folder using the desktop integrator.
    Thanks,
    Leo

    Yes Leo, that's correct, all documents inheriting the metadata of the folder and the option to propagate changes to documents and sub-folders is out-of-the-box functionality.
    Just create a folder and set the metadata fields you want, then add some documents via the desktop integartion or simply via webdav (you can map ucm as a web folder in windows explorer without having to install the UCM desktop integration).. all the document should have the folder's metadata by default.
    Give it a try and let me know how you go.

  • Best practice height "above the fold" ?

    Hi,
    Are there any best practice dimensions that I could lean against if I want to build a site with lots of images that should look good on a 1024x768 monitor?
    I am thinking about how much height space I have at my disposal for presenting image content "above the fold", and how all different browsers and tab bars take up different space at the top and for Windows XP/7 the taskbar at the bottom of the screen are of different thickness as well.
    Are there best practice pixel dimensions for height?
    Thanks!

    @pziecina: That was tall, at least for a 768px high monitor on Windows running IE which eats up as much as 185px top and bottom in default mode.
    But anyway, thanks for your input.
    @JoeyD1978: That's a really nice link. Thanks a lot for it.

  • Best practices for EasyDMS Public Folder usage/management

    Hi,
        We are implementing EDMS and are looking for best practices on the use of the Public Folder in EDMS.  We have different sites that have different business models, such as Engineer to Order or a "Projects" based business.  While other sites have a large Flow operation of standard catalog products with ordering options.   Initial thoughts are to put only documents in the public folders that are common to all users at a site, such as document templates or procedures.  Others suggest putting project folders there where anybody can browse through the different documents for a project.   And that raises the question about who is the owner or manager of that public folder.  We don't want the masses to be able to create random folders so that soon the structure of the Public Folder is a big unorganized mess.  Any thoughts on best practices you have implemented or seen in practice are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joseph Whiteley

    Hi!
    My suggestion is to skip the folders all together! It will end as a total mess after a couple of years. My recommendation is to use the classification of the document type and classify the document with the right information. You can then search for the documents and you don't need to look through tons of folders to find the right document.
    I know that you have to put the document in a folder to be able to create it in EasyDMS but at my customers we have a year folder and then month folders underneath where they just dump the documents. We then work with either object links or classification to find the right documents in the business processes. Another recommendation is to implement the TREX engine to be able to find your documents. I donu2019t know if this was the answer you wanted to get but I think this is the way forward if you would like to have a DMS system that could be used to 10+ years. Imagine replacing Google with a file browser!

  • Best practices for folder structure in SOA Project

    Actually, In my project, I have more than 10 BPEL process and several DBAdapters and some HumanTasks. For each BPEL process, JDeveloper creates .bpel, .componentType, wsdl files. For DBAdapters JDeveloper creates lot of files, and same for HumanTasks as well.
    By default Jdeveloper puts all these files in root directory of the Project. It looks messy having 100's of files in root directory.
    How can I organize all these files?
    What are the best practices for folder structure in SOA Project ?
    Thanks

    Yes Yatan. I did noticed that Polling service WSDL disabled in EM . But I want to try this approach beacause I want to move all database related stuff to one composite. I have another composite with 3 BPEL Processes. One BPEL queries external webservice and save the response in DB. One BPEL just fires the first Process(Query) and respond to caller with an unique id. I have Another BPEL which keeps polling on database for 5 sec(I'm using PICK Activity), if there is any new record in database it will retrun to caller. If no new records in database, returns empty to the caller after 5 sec.
    If I put all these in one composite, having lot of files in root directory, the composite really looks very messy.
    As you said, I want to have 2 composites. First Compoiste will have 3 BPEL processes, and 2nd Composite will have DB Polling and DB Save. I will have another project for MDS to store XSDs.
    So because I can't have Polling service as exposed service, I have to keep Polling service in the same Composite where the BPEL is. Now again it goes back to Big and messy project.
    Is there any way I can separate all DB related including polling in a separate Composite ?
    Thanks

  • DW:101 Question - Site folder and file naming - best practices

    OK - My 1st post! I’m new to DW and fairly new to developing websites (have done a couple in FrontPage and a couple in SiteGrinder), Although not new at all to technical concepts building PCs, figuring out etc.
    For websites, I know I have a lot to learn and I'll do my best to look for answers, RTFM and all that before I post. I even purchased a few months of access to lynda.com for technical reference.
    So no more introduction. I did some research (and I kind of already knew) that for file names and folder names: no spaces, just dashes or underscores, don’t start with a number, keep the names short, so special characters.
    I’ve noticed in some of the example sites in the training I’m looking at that some folders start with an underscore and some don’t. And some start with a capital letter and some don’t.
    So the question is - what is the best practice for naming files – and especially folders. And that’s the best way to organize the files in the folders? For example, all the .css files in a folder called ‘css’ or ‘_css’.
    While I’m asking, are there any other things along the lines of just starting out I should be looking at? (If this is way to general a question, I understand).
    Thanks…
    \Dave
    www.beacondigitalvideo.com
    By the way I built this site from a template – (modified quite a bit) in 2004 with FrontPage. I know it needs a re-design but I have to say, we get about 80% of our video conversion business from this site.

    So the question is - what is the best practice for naming files – and especially folders. And that’s the best way to organize the files in the folders? For example, all the .css files in a folder called ‘css’ or ‘_css’.
    For me, best practice is always the nomenclature and structure that makes most sense to you, your way of thinking and your workflow.
    Logical and hierarchical always helps me.
    Beyond that:
    Some seem to use _css rather than css because (I guess) those file/folder names rise to the top in an alphabetical sort. Or perhaos they're used to that from a programming environment.
    Some use CamelCase, some use all lowercase or special_characters to separate words.
    Some work with CMSes or in team environments which have agreed schemes.

  • DFSR - This member is waiting for initial replication for replicated folder SYSVOL Share - How long should it take?

    Yesterday we were forced to perform a non-authoritative sync of the SYSVOL folder as replication had stopped because one of the DCs had been disconnected from it's replication partner for more than 60 days (caused by a unexpected shutdown and we did not
    pick up on the fact replication had stopped until now).
    I performed the non-authoritative sync of the SYSVOL folder and now the folder is in state 2
    ReplicatedFolderName  ReplicationGroupName  State
    SYSVOL Share          Domain System Volume  2
    and has been for more than 12 hours.  The DFS replication health report, reports "This member is waiting for initial replication for replicated folder SYSVOL Share".
    How long should it take and is there anyway to force it so that replication can resume?

  • DFS Error 9061 (Replicated folder offline for too long) won't go away

    We have a server that got disconnected from a DFS replication group for too long. The error says to remove the server from the group and re-add it. I've done that about 6 times and I keep getting the error. I even tried deleting the replicated folder on
    the server so it would copy from other servers but the error just won't go away. How can I get rid of it and get the folder replicating again?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, we can try to following the steps described in the section

  • Storage Server 2012 best practices? Newbie to larger storage systems.

    I have many years managing and planning smaller Windows server environments, however, my non-profit has recently purchased
    two StoreEasy 1630 servers and we would like to set them up using best practices for networking and Windows storage technologies. The main goal is to build an infrastructure so we can provide SMB/CIFS services across our campus network to our 500+ end user
    workstations, taking into account redundancy, backup and room for growth. The following describes our environment and vision. Any thoughts / guidance / white papers / directions would be appreciated.
    Networking
    The server closets all have Cisco 1000T switching equipment. What type of networking is desired/required? Do we
    need switch-hardware based LACP or will the Windows 2012 nic-teaming options be sufficient across the 4 1000T ports on the Storeasy?
    NAS Enclosures
    There are 2 StoreEasy 1630 Windows Storage servers. One in Brooklyn and the other in Manhattan.
    Hard Disk Configuration
    Each of the StoreEasy servers has 14 3TB drives for a total RAW storage capacity of 42TB. By default the StoreEasy
    servers were configured with 2 RAID 6 arrays with 1 hot standby disk in the first bay. One RAID 6 array is made up of disks 2-8 and is presenting two logical drives to the storage server. There is a 99.99GB OS partition and a 13872.32GB NTFS D: drive.The second
    RAID 6 Array resides on Disks 9-14 and is partitioned as one 11177.83 NTFS drive.  
    Storage Pooling
    In our deployment we would like to build in room for growth by implementing storage pooling that can be later
    increased in size when we add additional disk enclosures to the rack. Do we want to create VHDX files on top of the logical NTFS drives? When physical disk enclosures, with disks, are added to the rack and present a logical drive to the OS, would we just create
    additional VHDX files on the expansion enclosures and add them to the storage pool? If we do use VHDX virtual disks, what size virtual hard disks should we make? Is there a max capacity? 64TB? Please let us know what the best approach for storage pooling will
    be for our environment.
    Windows Sharing
    We were thinking that we would create a single Share granting all users within the AD FullOrganization User group
    read/write permission. Then within this share we were thinking of using NTFS permissioning to create subfolders with different permissions for each departmental group and subgroup. Is this the correct approach or do you suggest a different approach?
    DFS
    In order to provide high availability and redundancy we would like to use DFS replication on shared folders to
    mirror storage01, located in our Brooklyn server closet and storage02, located in our Manhattan server closet. Presently there is a 10TB DFS replication limit in Windows 2012. Is this replicaiton limit per share, or total of all files under DFS. We have been
    informed that HP will provide an upgrade to 2012 R2 Storage Server when it becomes available. In the meanwhile, how should we designing our storage and replication strategy around the limits?
    Backup Strategy
    I read that Windows Server backup can only backup disks up to 2TB in size. We were thinking that we would like
    our 2 current StoreEasy servers to backup to each other (to an unreplicated portion of the disk space) nightly until we can purchase a third system for backup. What is the best approach for backup? Should we use Windows Server Backup to be capturing the data
    volumes?
    Should we use a third party backup software?

    Hi,
    Sorry for the delay in reply.
    I'll try to reply each of your questions. However for the first one, you may have a try to post to Network forum for further information, or contact your device provider (HP) to see if there is any recommendation.
    For Storage Pooling:
    From your description you would like to create VHDX on RAID6 disks for increasment. It is fine and as you said it is 64TB limited. See:
    Hyper-V Virtual Hard Disk Format Overview
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831446.aspx
    Another possiable solution is using Storage Space - new function in Windows Server 2012. See:
    Storage Spaces Overview
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831739.aspx
    It could add hard disks to a storage pool and creating virtual disks from the pool. You can add disks later to this pool and creating new virtual disks if needed. 
    For Windows Sharing
    Generally we will have different sharing folders later. Creating all shares in a root folder sounds good but actually we may not able to accomplish. So it actually depends on actual environment.
    For DFS replication limitation
    I assume the 10TB limitation comes from this link:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/csstwplatform/archive/2009/10/20/what-is-dfs-maximum-size-limit.aspx
    I contacted DFSR department about the limitation. Actually DFS-R could replicate more data which do not have an exact limitation. As you can see the article is created in 2009. 
    For Backup
    As you said there is a backup limitation (2GB - single backup). So if it cannot meet your requirement you will need to find a third party solution.

  • Best Practice in using Business Packages

    Hi All,
    Are there any Best Practices in the use of Business Package content?   Do you assign the Roles delivered by the Business Package and do you make changes to the original iViews?
    or
    Do you copy the content delivered in the Business Package to a new folder and work with there?
    These questions are purely at the configuration level and not at the Java coding level.   For instance if I want to turn of the iView Tray, or change a parameter such as height, or even remove an iView from a page or Role.
    I would like to know the various approaches the SDN community uses and the different challenges and benefits that result in each approach.
    Look forward to hearing from you all
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    I also build my own roles. The only time I might use the standard roles is for demo purposes early in a project.  You will find that in some cases the business packages like MSS don't always even include standard roles, so you have no choice but to build.
    I never change any of the standard iViews/Pages/Worksets - ever.
    The most contentious issue seems to be whether to do a full or delta link copy of the standard objects.  I tend to initially do a full copy of the objects into a custom folder set in the PCD and modify those. Then I only use delta links from Page to iViews where I need the option of setting different properties for the same iView if it appears in multiple pages.  Delta links can be a bit flakey at times, so I tend to only use them where I have to.  I suspect that I may get to a point where I don't use them at all.
    Just my 2 cents worth....
    Regards,
    John

  • Best practices for managing Movies (iPhoto, iMovie) to IPhone

    I am looking for some basic recommendations best practices on managing the syncing of movies to my iPhone. Most of my movies either come from a digital camcorder into iMovie or from a digital Camera into iPhone.
    Issues:
    1. If I do an export or a share from iPhoto, iMovie, or QuickTime, what formats should I select. I've seem 3gp, mv4.
    2. When I add a movie to iTunes, where is it stored. I've seen some folder locations like iMovie Sharing/iTunes. Can I copy them directly there or should I always add to library in iTunes?
    3. If I want to get a DVD I own into a format for the iPhone, how might I do that?
    Any other recommedations on best practices are welcome.
    Thanks

    1. If you type "iphone" or "ipod" into the help feature in imovie it will tell you how.
    "If you want to download and view one of your iMovie projects to your iPod or iPhone, you first need to send it to iTunes. When you send your project to iTunes, iMovie allows you to create one or more movies of different sizes, depending on the size of the original media that’s in your project. The medium-sized movie is best for viewing on your iPod or iPhone."
    2. Mine appear under "movies" which is where imovie put them automatically.
    3. If you mean movies purchased on DVD, then copying them is illegal and cannot be discussed here.
    From the terms of use of this forum:
