Do we need Test and Development instances

I would like to know that apart from the production instance, Test and Development 2 instances are required or only one is sufficient. If required how it will be useful.

I depends on your change management philosophy.
In our organization, the Development instance can differ a great deal from production in terms of setups, patch levels, etc. The Test instance is meant to be as close to production as possible in terms of setups and freshness of data. Only when patches are demonstrated to have resolved a problem in Dev are they promoted to Test, and shortly afterward to Production, as long as testing continues to be successful.
This allows our users to train and play in the Test instance without wondering what wacky things the IS team might be doing, be cause we're doing our work primarily in Dev. ;-) In addition, if we have a problem in our production instance, we can have a high degree of confidence that we can replicate it in Test, with identical setups and data. If it is necessary to get more recent data to troubleshoot a production problem, we can quickly clone production to Test without impacting any project work underway in Dev.
In reality, you're likely to find that you'll be lucky if you can get away with running only 3 EBS instances. :-) I'm currently managing 10 instances, but that's a little unusual for us...it's usually more like 4-5.

How to test and develop the HTML/Backbone custom content viewer on IPad?

Hi
I have been tasked with developing and amending the HTML/Backbone custom content viewer as nicely detailed and explained by Derek Lu here:
https://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/html-default-library.html#
I can see that by removing the reference to libs/AdobeLibraryAPI.js in Index.html i am able to "test" on the desktop.

and that data is bought in via the fulfilment XML feed and the parse method is called on Librarycollection.
I have made the changes to hook up the viewer to bring in some folios that we are developing.
However, although this provides the ability to test and develop on the desktop in one form since we are using JS and Backbone, there are various checks within the provided code to see if ADOBE.isAPIAvailable.
If it is, then the behaviour is different than on the desktop, so once the viewer is packaged up and put on the IPad there is disparity between what you were able to check and test on the desktop version against what is shown on the IPad.
The question therefore is... is there a quick way to develop and test on the Ipad ... it doesnt seem like a viable option to develop blindly on the desktop and then package up the content viewer within Adobe DPS to check how those changes behave on the IPad?
To re-iterate the viewer is to make use of backbone / js example to provide greater functionality and options for customisation.
Thanks in anticipation.
Dave

Thankyou for taking the time to respond and for providing such detailed articles on adobe dps development, it is much appreciated.
I had completely missed that article and was struggling to find anything useful from googling!

Service product replication for test and developement system

Hi Experts,
In our scanario service product is created in production system and later manually created in test and developement system.
Is there is any standard function module avilable to replicate the product master data into test and developement system
Or Is it possible to use the middleware functionallity to replicate the service product details.
Please advice on this issue.
Thanks,
Senthil .R

You can use the FindFile method in the TS API:
FindFile Method
Syntax
Engine.FindFile ( fileToFind, absolutePath, userCancelled, promptOption = FindFile_PromptHonorUserPreference, srchListOption = FindFile_AddDirToSrchList_Ask, isCommand = False, [currentSequenceFile])
The function itself returns a boolean which indicates if the file exists or not.
Then just use a Call Executable step to run command line string to delete the file.
Hope this helps!

Create a test and development environment : only one CMS running

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create a test and Develpment environment for one CMS?
I'm running BO XI 3.1 enterprise edition.
Thanks
Peter

If you only have one server, you'll need to create an extra folder. Use security to stop non-test/dev users seeing the content. Then publish to it.
Once tested, move reports to 'proper' folders.

Do I need xCode and developer tools?

Hi,
Do I need Xcode and the developer tools? I'm not a software developer and don't see a time when I will be. I did a quick check and the Developer file on my HD is taking up roughly 6 GB of space. If I don't need them, I'd love to free up that space for other things (i.e. movies, music, photos, etc.). If I don't need them, what is the best way of going about getting rid of them?
Thanks

You dont need them at all if you're not a developer or do not use any of the utilities for troubleshooting or any other purpose. To uninstall the developer tools, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools -mode=all
Supply your password, and you should be all set once the script is done running.

TOSHIBA Please Read - Beta Testing and Developer Community

Hello Jim,
I wanted to respond to your posting about the status of the update but the thread has been locked, so I started a new one. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a chance that we could get a beta test version of the software provided to experienced and brave individuals that can report back to the dev team with various issues and bugs to be fixed?
The public beta will not only appease the people angry at Toshiba for missing the deadline for the update, but also provide necessary feedback to the development team that can be used to create a more feature complete update. As an Android developer myself, I would take every oppurtunity to report bugs and issues and even provide code to help implement fixes for various issues if said source is availible. I believe it would be a great idea for Toshiba to create an open source development community on these forums and to provide us with bleeding edge code for us to implement and mess around with.
Such communities already exist on various sites like XDA Developers but not with vendor support, if Toshiba provided a vendor-supported developer community around the Thrive and other Android devices such as the Excite and Folio. With a vendor supported community, we would have a place where Toshiba can make better software for the devices and developers and brave regular users can participate in the process of getting updates for our various devices. I believe that moving away from such a closed development environment would not only help Toshiba develop better devices and software, but also give the company a leg up on its competitors who do not have such a community pitching in allowing for better software to be coded.
I hope that this message is read by someone at Toshiba that can make this happen, as the benefits are truly mutual, since Toshiba would be getting better software for its devices and developers get the resources and code needed to turn Toshiba into one of the best supporters of this great open-source project.
If anyone from Toshiba would like to contact me to help coordinate such an undertaking, I may be reached at [email protected]
Thank You For Your Time,
Rob Gries
Android Developer

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the thoughtful message. Your points are well made and, while I don't disagree that there are mutual benefits, Toshiba has no current plans for directly building or supporting a developer community.
On the other hand, private beta testing for the Thrive product line was first launched last summer and I expect it to be ongoing as major software updates reach reasonably usable states within the development process. However, you won't see discussion of beta testing in the message boards because beta testers are under NDA.
Thanks again for the thoughts and for your interest in developing for Thrive!
Jim

A query Transport from test to development

Hello,
I want to transport a query from the test server to te development one. How to do that?
I have create the order but i cannot specify that the target is the test server, how to do that? When i do the se10 transaction, my order appear in "local modification" and so i cannot transport it, can you help me please??
I want to do that because I have done a mistake in my query in the development area and so i would restore the first version of this query (the version that i have already transport in the test server)
Thanks a lot for your help,
Regards,
Julien

I doubt there will be a transport path setup between your test and development server. Ask the basis guys. If the path is setup then you can double click on the transport request number and change the target server.
Otherwise, if the basis guys are your friends then release the transport and ask them to import the request in development and the query will come in. bare in mind some settings has to be done before you release the transport. the basis guys will walk you through that.
Hope this helps.

ESR role in different development, test, and production systems

Hello,
I want to know the role of ESR in development, test, and production system. Do I have to install ESR in every seprate installated SAP CE machine??? or should It be centrally and development., test and production systems can use it?? Does software release process effects in the whole landscape??
does Test and Production system requires ESR??? or all used services are embed into released software SCA files to test and production system???
Regards,
Naeem

Hey,
as far as I understood the ESR is a design time tool, i think you don't need to have a productive instance.
I think it should be installed on your PI systems. And I would prefer to have at least a devel and a test installation, to
separate services on test machines from those who are running on productive systems.
as you can't differentiate the services by their name but just by their systems, you should have separate ESR Instances.
Nevertheless I think it could be possible to run only one ESR....
Kind Regards
Christof

Can I change my development instance DV1 to DV2 and send transports to prod

We have several divisions and want to pgrade our landscape specifically ERP ECC to EHP6 after ramp-up is finished. We will leave our DV1 instance which is our development and QV1 Test and copy those two to DV2 and QV2 for the EHP6 upgrade.
Production will not be copied but will be upgraded after DV2 and QV2 are upgraded. Is there an issue with transport coming out of DV2 and going to our PV1 production instance.
Originally our PV1 instance recieved transports from DV1 but now they will be from DV2, is there an issue with the version in production or any issues with object versioning?
Thanks
Loot Hudson

Hi Loot,
Is there an issue with transport coming out of DV2 and going to our PV1 production instance.
- Once DV2 and QV2 are ready, you have to define transport routes to PV1 in DV2.
Originally our PV1 instance recieved transports from DV1 but now they will be from DV2, is there an issue with the version in production or any issues with object versioning?
- Should not be a problem. Please make sure you disabled transport routes to PV1 from DV1/QV1.
Hope you are answered.
Thanks,
Siva Kumar

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support.
Did you try deleting the app and redownloading it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad, and contacting the developer of the app ? If you did contact them and you didn't get a reply then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

In Need of a developer for Photoshop and Illustrator plugins

I am in need of a developer interested in developing plugins for Photoshop and Illustrator for a specific industry of Textiles and Fashion. Please contact me if you are a developer with experience in plugin development. [email protected]

Hmmm... I'm using JSF but it's my first project so I don't really know it's powers.
I instantiated all classes that will eventually populate the combo box (through reflection) and now I'm trying to find one which of the objects did the user select.
Would it be a problem for you to give me at least a rough scatch of what I should do?
I tried it like this:
in my managed bean:
public HtmlSelectOneMenu getProductsMenu() {
        //instantiate and populate the list of products (prodlist)
        for (Product p : prodlist){
            optionlist.add(new SelectItem(p, p.getName()));
        final UISelectItems items = new UISelectItems();
        items.setValue(optionlist);
        productsMenu.getChildren().add(items);
        return productsMenu;
    }and in my JSP:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{managedBean.productsMenu}" />but then, in the bean, when I try:
((Product)productsMenu.getValue())I get a Class cast exception. it says it can't can't cast String to Product...
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

Probably wasn't a good idea to install beta software on a device when you're not a developer.
Apple clearly states that beta software is not to be installed on production devices.
Not really much you can do except wait for iOS 6.1 to be officially released and then install it.
