Displaying double quote best practice

If a user enters a double quote and it gets saved to the database then displaying it fails in the value="" of an input field.
To fix this I can do a .replaceAll("\"", """) on the form... but it doesn't seem like a good solution to have to do that to every field that should allow a double quote. And while in my case the number of fields is small and setting this up in all the cases that it would be needed is feasible, it seems like it would be better to do this on the front end then to change something in java... somewhere I'm bound to end up with &quot saved to the database if I'm not careful.
so is there a best practice for this? should I use an EL function inside my ${} to do the replace?
Thanks

I tried what you said, but it messed the page all up.
The replace is inside an input field
value="${fn:replace(name,'"','& quot;')}"it caused a bunch of errors. I probably would have had to do it inside a <set></set> tag and then referenced that value in the input field I guess.... But I convinced the boss that double quotes are not needed in the name or description. So I just added an onkeydown event to disable double quotes. Hope it doesn't come back and bite me.

What is the best practice to display info of completed task in process flow

Hi all,
I'm starting to study BPM modeling with CE7.1 EHP1. Thanks to the tutorial and example on SDN site and I can easily build my own process in NWDS and deploy to server, start it, finish it.
I like the new runtime which can show a BPMN diagram to the processors. However, I can't find a way to let the follow up processor to review the task result completed in previous step. I'm more familiar with Guided Procedure, and know there is "Display Callable Object" which can used to show some info of a completed task when the processor/owner/admin/overseer click on a completed task. Where is the feature in BPM ? What is the best practice to show such task information in BPM environment.
For example, A multiple level approval process, the higher level approver need to know the comment written by the previous approver. Can he read this information from process flow ?
I think it is very important feature for a BPM platform. In Guided Procedure, such requirement can be done with Display Callable Object + View Permission, and you just need some coding for the UI. If BPM is superior to GP, I think there must be a way to achieve this, I just do not know how ?
Can anyone shed me some light on it ?

Oliver,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, Notes and Attachment CAN BE USED for the purpose. But I'm still looking for a more elegant solution.
With the solution of using Notes/Attachment, the processor need to give input at two places : the task UI and Note/Attach , with similar or same data. It is really annoying.
Is there any SAP BPM real-world deployment ? None of customer has the requirement ?

When displaying just One WDiView in the Portal what is the best practice?

Hi,
I´m configuring some Roles to display WebDynpro iViews and I´m concerned because when a page has to display just one iView I don´t create the Page but instead I call the iView directly into the Role and the Displayed iView is viewed correctly, my concern began cause I´m checking SAP standard roles, WDiviews and WDPages and eventhough there is just one WDiView to be displayed a WDPage is been created to display it and the WD page id assigned to the Role.
Does anyone knows what is the best practice in this case?
Thanx in Advanced and Kind Regards,
Gerardo J

there is no harm in assigning iview directly to a role but usually assigning to a page ,page to a workset and workset to a role is followed universally

Double Quotes Display Question Marks

I have some data in a tabe that is rendered as some read only output in my JHS app. This works fine in JDeveloper on Linux and JDeveloper as well as deployed on Windows. However in the version that is deployed on Red Hat the double quotes are not displaying correctly and instead display question marks in their place. The import of the database schema worked and the data is in fact double quotes. Wondering what setting I can change that makes this server treat the same data as the other environments?

Hi,
This sounds like a JDeveloper/ADF issue that is not related to JHeadstart. Can you please ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at JDeveloper and ADF ? Thanks!

Coding best practice display name vs internal name in itemUpdated event receiver

Hi,
In an itemupdated event receiver, when referring to list fields, is it better to use the field's internal name, or its display name?
Is there a clear guideline or best practice, or is this a subjective discussion?
Thanks in advance for your replies

Hi Jorge,
One of the best practice I follow is Repository pattern for list access, on that scenario I always use Internal Names.
The rational behind this decision is Fristly, I will have full control, Secondly I need not to worry about column names changes by business/endusers through SharePoint UI which I cannot control of. Though we had governance in place and trained
the users, still no avail, users will go and change the column names.
Thirdly, My code will not break when there is a display name change. One of my client was too UI rather than business logic, since the enduser are high profile managers, spacing between columns and readabiltily are first class citizen. Those changes
that we made to the list library did not affect our code and the application was running without code refactoring.
Backto your question, I will use Internal names in my CAML query to minimize error as follows
item["internalName"]
Your question is subjective, I have not seen any best practices on this subject, being said that, if you are looking for best practice and guidance I would suggest you to start here -
SharePoint 2010 Guidance
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff770300.aspx ( no idea on SP 2013 guidance availablity)
Go through the code and doc, You will get the design rational behind each choice.
Hope this helps!

Best Practice For Display Description and getting Id from af:selectOneChoice

HI Experts,
I have a table DeptTable with the two attributes. 1) DeptId and 2)DeptName
I want to diplay List of all DeptName in <af:selectOneChoice component. and in backingbean or managedbean I want to get
corresponding DeptId for Selected DeptName in <af:selectOneChoice.
To be precise, IN UI I want to see -
Dept A
Dept B
Dept C
And in bean I want to get-
101
102
103.
If I select DeptA I want to get 101.
Therefore what is the best practice to achieve it.
Regards,

CJ,
I vote for solution 1 as it's just your use case. As you said you what to update the his_status_id and her_status_id through the by selecting a STATUSES.short_txt_descr by a drop down. This is exactly the LOV solution.
ViewLinks are used fro master detail navigation (which you don't do here) and Joining the data make it difficult to update (and you still need a LOV for the drop down box.

Best practices to configure files to display and play in order?

I'm looking for best practices to get saved recordings (songs and business trainings) on my PC correctly configured so they will show up correctly (artist, song title, track number) and play incorrect order.
I have lots of MP3 files (and other formats) on my PC but when i transfer them to iTunes and sync to iPod they don't play in correct order or show up as unknown artist (and other issues).
I typically have them in a folder by artist name then folder with name of course or album then each song begins with a number.
EXAMPLE: Eagles (folder) - Hotel California (folder) - 1.HotelCalifornia.mp3, 2.NewKidInTown.mp3, etc etc.
I've also right-clicked and went into properties and add the track number, artist name, album name, contributing artist etc but it still comes up with these issues
--it's also very time-consuming to do this.
EXAMPLE: instead of it being track 1,2,3 etc it will be 1,10,11,2,21,3...
I've tried dragging them or copying them into the "automatically add" folder and also adding to library in iTunes.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Narendra,
Oracle User and the FTP user are 2 different users.
I'm assuming you'll be reading the file from R12 through File Adapter and writing it to Bank using FTP Adapter.
Oracle User is able to login into R12, do some operations, submit some concurrent programs/requests based on responsibilities and generate the file to be transferred (like in my case it did by running a Concurrent Request). The file so generated should be placed at a location from where File Adapter can read it within the BPEL process. Now to read the file, the user that is used is a SOA server user (again different from R12 user). This is the same user that you use to login into your SOA server physical box. Hence to be able to read the file, your file should have appropriate privileges (we set that as 777) so that it can be read by the SOA process (using SOA user).
FTP user, on the other hand, is the user that allows connection to Bank FTP server. This has absolutely no connection with R12. Bank who hosts the FTP server must give you the FTP user details that you'll use inside your FTP JNDI Configuration on Weblogic. When you deploy and run your process (you don't deploy adapter), it picks up the connection details from FTP JNDI properties that you defined in weblogic.
Hence both the jusers can be different and I don't think any best practices are required or do exist for this.

CO-PA: product hierarchy predefined from best practice

Hi guys,
unfortunately I have as basis a best practice system, where product hierarchy with 3 levels is already defined in CO-PA:
PAPH1     ProdHier01-1     ProdH01-1     CHAR     5     MVKE     PAPH1
PAPH2     ProdHier01-2     ProdH01-2     CHAR     10     MVKE     PAPH2
PAPH3     ProdHier01-3     ProdH01-3     CHAR     18     MVKE     PAPH3
PRODH     Prod.hierarchy     Prod.hier.     CHAR     18     MVKE     PRODH
Those ones are already assigned to a best practice operating concern:
10UK     Best Practices
1. we have 7 levels in our product hierarchy
2. I need to read it from mara and not mvke
When trying to ad product hierarchy as characteristic in KEA5 in our new operating concern, I gut the message below.
This data element is used in tons of tables and the whole precdure looks risky + after transport I might have issues again?
Creating ww* characteristics for product hierarchy is not an option, since then I would need to maintain the whole product hiearchy as characteristc values again (like before release 4.5) and this is far more than 1000 entries and is double maintenance after go live.
Deleting the best practice operating concern is also difficult, since there are several clients where customizing still sits for 10UK.
Anybody experience? What did you do?
regards
Bjoern
Here is the text from KEA5 when trying to ad mara fields (since date elment lenghts is different due to more levels):
Product hierarchy field PAPH1 cannot be adapted to the new structure
Message no. KE691
Diagnosis
The definition of the product hierarchy has changed (structure PRODHS). The hierarchy field generated in CO-PA, PAPH1 cannot be adapted to the new definition, because it is already being used in structures or tables.
System Response
The field PAPH1 does not appear in the list of fields that can be selected.
It can no longer be used as a characteristic.
Procedure
If you still want to define hierarchy field PAPH1 as a characteristic, proceed as follows:
1. Display the where-used list for data element RKEG_PAPH1 in database fields using transaction SE12. For hierarchy field PAPH1 to be adapted, a data conversion must be carried out for all the tables listed!
2. First change the number of characters in the domain RKEG_PAPH1 to match the new definition of the product hierarchy, following the example below. You can do this using transaction SE11.
Structure PRODHS     Domain
Field    Length      name       Number of characters
PRODH1     3         RKEG_PAPH1      3
PRODH2     2         RKEG_PAPH2      5
PRODH3     5         RKEG_PAPH3     10
PRODH4     8         RKEG_PAPH4     18

Just as Info,
I needed to go for deletion of those characteristics - quite some work, like:
1. delete all where-used entries for the characteristics in ALL CLIENTS of this system (important: e.g. planning layout - recommended to change and not simply delete, because the change can be transported)
2. when then trying to delete characteristics (with "unlock" in KEA0 > value fields) - tons of tables and strucutres popped up, where this data element is still needed - follow note 353257
3. generate best practice operating concern new (10UK in our case)
4. create PAPH1 etc. new from table MARA (not mvke in our case - depends)
all good - hopefully no issues after transport - we will see.

[SOLVED]xpra + winswitch - best practice due to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*

tl;dr: 5-nvidia.conf is trying to get loaded after xf86-video-dummy is loaded (which is the default for xpra).
Now to the question: What's the best practice because there's no information about this issue, and i can't be the only one who's run in to this since the xorg.conf was removed. At the moment I move all my nvidia configs out of the way, start xpra and move them back in. This works for the better part as long as i execute xpra with my own scripts.
But is there a better way (which doesn't perhaps include recreating xorg.conf since that appears to be something you should walk away from)?
Last edited by Torxed (2013-10-04 10:29:35)

Good thinking! (xpra is basically just screen but for x, or a X11 tunnel via SSH).
After a really quick poking around and remembering that xpra really just uses xorg-server-xvfb and at the very bottom of /etc/xpra/xpra.conf there's a line that says:
xvfb=xpra_Xdummy -dpi 96 -noreset -nolisten tcp +extension GLX +extension RANDR +extension RENDER -logfile ${HOME}/.xpra/Xorg.${DISPLAY}.log -config /etc/xpra/xorg.conf
Appending -configdir appears to be working.
Here are the full steps:
[torxed@archie ~]$ sudo cp -r /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d /etc/xpra/
[torxed@archie ~]$ sudo rm /etc/xpra/xorg.conf.d/*nvidia*
[torxed@archie ~]$ sudo sed -i '$s/$/ -configdir \/etc\/xpra\/xpra.conf.d/' /etc/xpra/xpra.conf
*nvidia* would have to match your graphic-driver-config that would cause xorg-server-xvbf to crash.
I'll update the wiki and put a mention on the package about it because this either has to be standard or well known from the start because it really just breaks the package all together.

Best practice on monitoring Endeca health / defining outage

(This is a double post from the Endeca Experience Management forum)
I am looking for best practice on how to define Endeca service outage and monitor the health of the system. I understand this depends on your user requirements and it may vary from customer to customer. Specifically what criteria do you use to notify your engineer there is a problem? We have our load balancers pinging dgraphs on an interval. However the ping operation is not sufficient in our use case. We are also experimenting running a "low cost" query to the dgraphs on an interval and using some query latency thresholds to determine outage. I want to hear from people on the field running large commercial web site about your best practice of monitoring/notifying health of the system.
Thanks.

The performance metric should help to analyse the query and metrics for fine tuning.
Here are few best practices:
1. Reduce the number of components per page
2. Avoid complex LQL queries
3. Keep the LQL threshold small
4. Display the minimum number of columns needed

Exchange Best Practices Analyzer and Event 10009 - DCOM

We have two Exchange 2010 SP3 RU7 servers on Windows 2008 R2
In general, they seem to function correctly.
ExBPA (Best Practices Analyzer) results are fine. Just some entries about drivers being more than two years old (vendor has not supplied newer drivers so we use what we have). Anything else has been verified to be something that can "safely be ignored".
Test-ServiceHealth, Test-ReplicationHealth and other tests indicate no problems.
However, when I run the ExBPA, it seems like the server on which I run ExBPA attempts to contact the other using DCOM and this fails.
Some notes:
1. Windows Firewall is disabled on both.
2. Pings in both directions are successful.
3. DTCPing would not even run so I was not able to test with this.
4. Connectivity works perfectly otherwise. I can see/manage either server from the other using the EMC or EMS. DAG works fine as far as I can see.
What's the error message?
Event 10009, DistributedCOM
"DCOM was unable to communiate with the computer --- opposite Exchange server of the pair of Exchange servers--- using any of the configured protocols."
This is in the System Log.
This happens on both servers and only when I run the ExBPA.
I understand that ExBPA uses DCOM but cannot see what would be blocking communications.
I can access the opposite server in MS Management Consoles (MMC).
Note: the error is NOT in the ExBPA results - but rather in the Event Viewer System Log.
Yes, it is consistent. Have noticed it for some time now.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Since normal Exchange operations are not affected, I'm tempted to ignore it, but I have to do my "due diligence" and inquire.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

Hi David,
I recommend you refer the following article to troubleshoot this event:
How to troubleshoot DCOM 10009 error logged in system event
Why this happens:
Totally speaking, the reason why DCOM 10009 is logged is that: local RPCSS service can’t reach the remote RPCSS service of remote target server. There are many possibilities which can cause this issue.
Scenario 1:
The remote target server happens to be offline for a short time, for example, just for maintenance.
Scenario 2:
Both servers are online. However, there RPC communication issue exists between these two servers, for example: server name resolvation failure, port resources for RPC communication exhaustion, firewall configuration.
Scenario 3:
Even though the TCP connection to remote server has no any problem, but if the communication of RPC authentication gets problem, we may get the error status code like 0x80070721 which means “A security package specific
error occurred” during the communication of RPC authentication, DCOM 10009 will also be logged on the client side.
Scenario 4:
The target DCOM |COM+ service failed to be activated due to permission issue. Under this kind of situation, DCOM 10027 will be logged on the server side at the same time.
Event ID 10009 — COM Remote Service Availability
Resolve
Ensure that the remote computer is available
There is a problem accessing the COM Service on a remote computer. To resolve this problem:
Ensure that the remote computer is online.
This problem may be the result of a firewall blocking the connection. For security, COM+ network access is not enabled by default. Check the system to determine whether the firewall is blocking the remote connection.
Other reasons for the problem might be found in the Extended Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Error information that is available in Event Viewer.
To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
Ensure that the remote computer is online
To verify that the remote computer is online and the computers are communicating over the network:
Open an elevated Command Prompt window. Click Start, point to
All Programs, click Accessories, right-click
Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If the
User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click
Continue.
At the command prompt, type ping, followed by a space and the remote computer name, and then press ENTER. For example, to check that your server can communicate over the network with a computer named ContosoWS2008, type
ping ContosoWS2008, and then press ENTER.
A successful connection results in a set of replies from the other computer and a set of
ping statistics.
Check the firewall settings and enable the firewall exception rule
To check the firewall settings and enable the firewall exception rule:
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type wf.msc, and then click OK. If the
User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click
Continue.
In the console tree, click Inbound rules.
In the list of firewall exception rules, look for COM+ Network Access (DCOM In).
If the firewall exception rule is not enabled, in the details pane click
Enable rule, and then scroll horizontally to confirm that the protocol is
TCP and the LocalPort is 135. Close Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.
Review available Extended RPC Error information for this event in Event Viewer
To review available Extended RPC Error information for this event in Event Viewer:
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type comexp.msc, and then click OK. If the
User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click
Continue.
Under Console Root, expand Event Viewer (Local).
In the details pane, look for your event in the Summary of Administrative Events, and then double-click the event to open it.
The Extended RPC Error information that is available for this event is located on the
Details tab. Expand the available items on the Details tab to review all available information.

Best Practices for Export

I have recently begun working with a few AIC-encoded home movie files in FCPX. My goal is to compress them using h.264 for viewing on computer screens. I had a few questions about the best practices for exporting these files, as I haven't worked with editing software in quite some time.
1) Is it always recommended that I encode my video in the same resolution as its source? For example, some of my video was shot at 1440x1080, which I can only assume is anamorphic. I originally tried to export at 1920x1080 but then changed my mind as I assumed the 1440x1080 would just stretch naturally. Does this sound right?
2) FCPX is telling me that a few of my files are in 1080i. I'd like to encode them in 1080p as it tends to look better on computer screens. In FCPX, is it as simple as dragging my interlaced footage into a progressive timline and then exporting? I've heard about checking the "de-interlace" box under clip settings and then doubling the framerate but that seemed to make my video look worse.
3) I've heard that it might be better practice to export my projects as master files and then encode h.264 in Compressor. Is there any truth to this? Might it be better for the interlaced to progressive conversion as well?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

1) yes. 1440 will display ax 1920.

Hai,
Organizational Structure
Use
In order for the workflow system to establish the relationship between the requester and their superior, you must create an organizational plan in the system.
For this tutorial, of course, this organizational plan does not have to be complete and valid across the enterprise. To keep the test as simple as possible initially, define an organizational plan that only contains one administrator and one head of department.
Assign both items to yourself. As a result, all work items will appear in your own Business Workplace. Later you will modify the organizational plan such that you will have to work through the scenario with two users.
Procedure
The organizational plan required for this tutorial consists, when complete, of one organizational unit (= "department"), which contains two positions: a head of department and an administrator.
Each position is described by one job and each position is assigned one user as holder. The head of department position is also designated as chief position of the organizational unit.
Of course, a "real" organizational plan is created by arranging several organizational units with their positions in a hierarchy. Usually several positions are described by one job.
For further information, refer to the documentation Organizational Plan.
The procedure in this unit is divided into four parts:
1.     You create an organizational unit.
2.     Enter necessary jobs as required.
3.     You create a position for the head of department in the new organizational unit.
You define a position in three steps:
i.     You create a position that is assigned your organizational unit.
ii.     You assign a holder to the position.
iii.     You assign a job to the position.
3.     You create a position for the administrator in the organizational unit.
