Eclipse / Workshop dev/production best practice environment question.

I'm trying to setup an ODSI development and production environment. After a bit of trial and error and support from the group here (ok, Mike, thanks again) I've been able to connect to Web Service and Relational database sources and such. My Windows 2003 server has 2 GB of RAM. With Admin domain, Managed Server, and Eclipse running I'm in the 2.4GB range. I'd love to move the Eclipse bit off of the server, develop dataspaces there, and publish them to the remote server. When I add the Remote Server in Eclipse and try to add a new data service I get "Dataspace projects cannot be deployed to a remote domain" error message.
So, is the best practice to run everything locally (admin server, Eclipse/Workshop). Get everything working and then configure the same JDBC (or whatever) connections on the production server and deploy the locally created dataspace to the production box using the Eclipse that's installed on the server? I've read some posts/articles about a scripting capability that can perhaps do the configuration and deployment but I'm really in the baby steps mode and probably need the UI for now.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

you'll want 4GB.

Deploy to production (best practices)

I am wondering if there are some best practices published somewhere in regard to deploying an app from your dev environment to a production environment?
I currently do the following.
1) export/inport application
2) generate a sync script (toad) to get the schema objects in sync. Maybe it's better to do an export/import (expdp) of the schema here.
3) import images/files needed by the application

Hi,
Have a look at:
Book: Pro Oracle Application Express
Author: John Edward Scott
Author: Scott Spendolini

Year: 2008
It has a good section on migrating between environments.
Hope this helps.

CF10 Production Best Practices

Is there a document or additional information on the best way to configure multiple instances of CF10 in a production environment? Do most folks install CF10 as a ear/war J2EE deployment under JBoss or Tomcat with Apache as the webserver?

There’s no such document that I know of, no.
And here’s a perfect example where “best practices” is such a loaded phrase.
You wonder if “install CF10 as a ear/war J2EE deployment under JBoss or Tomcat with Apache as the webserver”. I’d say the answer to that is “absolutely not”. Most folks do NOT deploy CF as a JEE ear/war. It’s an option, yes. And if you are running A JEE server already, then it does make great sense to deploy CF as an ear/war on said container.
But would it be a recommended practice for someone installing CF10 without interest in JEE deployment? I’d say not likely, unless they already have familiarity with JEE deployment.
Now, could one argue “but there are benefits to deploying CF on a JEE container”? Sure, they could. But would it be a “best practice”? Only in the minds of a small minority I think (those who appreciate the beenfits of native JEE deployment and containers). Of course, CF already deploys on a JEE container (Tomcat in CF10, JRun in CF 6-9), but the Standard and Enterprise Server forms of deployment hide all that detail, which is best for most. With those, we just have a ColdFusion directory and are generally none-the-wiser that it runs on JRun or Tomcat.
That leads then to the crux of your first sentence: you mention multiple instances. That does change things quite a bit.
First, a couple point of clarification before proceeding: in CF 7-9, such “multiple instance” deployment was for most folks enabled using the Enterprise Multiserver form of deployment, and created a Jrun4 directory where instances were installed (as distinguished from the Enterprise Server form I just mentioned above, which hid the JRun guts).
In CF10, though, there is no longer a “multiserver” install option. It’s just that CF10 Enterprise (or Trial or Developer editions) does let you create new instances, using the same Instance Manager in the CF admin that existed for CF Enterprise Multiserver from 7-9. CF10 still only lets you create with the Enterprise (or trial or developer) edition, not Standard.
(There is a change in CF10 about multiple instances, though: note that in CF10, you never see a Tomcat directory, even if you want “multiple instances”. When you create them, they are created right under the CF10 directory, as siblings to the cfusion directory (and while that cfusion directory previously existed only in the CF 7-9 multiserver form of deployment, it does not exist even in CF10 Standard, as the only instance it can use.)
So all that is a lot of info, not any “best practices”, but you asked if there was any “additional info”, and I thought that helpful for you to have as you contemplate your options. (And of course, CF10 Enterprise does still let you deploy as a JEE ear/war if you want.)
But no, doing it would not be a best practices. If someone asked for “the best way to configure multiple instances of CF10 in a production environment”, I’d tell them to just proceed as they would have in CF 7-9, using the same CF Admin Instance Manager capability to create them (and optionally cluster them).
All that said, everything about CF10 does now run on Tomcat instead of JRun, and some things are improved under the covers, like clustering (and related things, like session replication), because those are now Tomcat-based features (which are actively updated and used by the Tomcat community), rather than JRun-based (which were pretty old and hardly used by anyone since JRun was EOL-ed several years ago).
I’ll note that I offer a talk with a lot more detail contrasting CF10 on Tomcat to CF9 and earlier on JRun. That may interest you, snormo, so check out the presentations page at carehart.org.
Hope all that’s helpful.
/charlie
PS You conclude with a mention of Apache as the web server. And sure, if one is on a *nix depoyiment or just favors Apache, it’s a fine option. But someone running CF 10 on Windows should not be discouraged from running on IIS. It’s come a long way and is now very secure, flexible, and capable, whether used for one or multiple instances of CF.

Delivering demo or trial versions of a product - best practice?

Hello there RoboHelp gang,
I am using RH8 HTML to create a knowledge product for commercial resale to clients and customers. One of the things I need to do is offer a 'trial' version of the end the end product. I imagine doing this by creating an instance of the knowledge product with selected areas freely available but with the bulk of the content 'locked down'.
I understand from the instructions that i can do this via condition conditional text function... the reason for posting to find out if anyone had any additional best practice comments, suggestions or tips on setting up and managing a demo or trial version of applications built in Robohelp 8 HTML? The end format of mine will be ADOBE AIR.
fyi - i've tried searching online and in these forums for more on this but can't find anything (... and that maybe because i've over-complicating it?!:)) but i'll happily post my findings (if any) once it's all set up to satisfaction.
Thanks,
DK

KeepItSimpleStupid!
That is, make it as functional as possible, but don't raise expectations needlessly with a lot of fancy foldarol; there'll be plenty of time to add cute stuff, and only as user feedback warrants. Yes, there are wonderful things you can add, but just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Note also that the topics you have retained (not conditionalized away) must not contain links to the ones that are missing (you can try explaining away such broken links, but they'll leave a bad taste nonetheless). In addition, their Index entries will be missing, and the topics will not be included in a Search.
Good luck,

Real time logging: best practices and questions ?

I've 4 couples of DS 5.2p6 in MMR mode on Windows 2003.
Each server is configured with the default setting of "nsslapd-accesslog-logbuffering" enabled, and the log files are stored on a local file system, then later centrally archived thanks to a log sender daemon.
I've now a requirement from a monitoring tool (used to establish correlations/links/events between applications) to provide the directory
server access logs in real time.
At a first glance, each directory generates about 1,1 Mb of access log per second.
1)
I'd like to know if there're known best practices / experiences in such a case.
2)
Also, should I upgrade my DS servers to benefit from any log management related feature ? Should I think about using an external disk
sub-sytem (SAN, NAS ....) ?
3)
In DS 5.2, what's the default access logbuffering policy : is there a maximum buffer size and/or time limit before flushing to disk ? Is it configurable ?

Usually log-buffering should be enabled. I don't know of any customers who turn it off. Even if you do, I guess it should be after careful evaluation in your environment. AFAIK, there is no configurable limit for buffer size or time limit before it is committed to disk
Regarding faster disks, I had the bright idea that you could creating a ramdisk and set the logs to go there instead of disk. Let's say the ramdisk is 2gb max in size and you receive about 1MB/sec in writes. Say max-log-size is 30MB. You can schedule a job to run every minute that copies over the newly rotated file(s) from ramdisk to your filesystem and then send it over to logs HQ. If the server does crash, you'll lose upto a minute of logs. Of course, the data disappears after reboot, so you'll need to manage that as well. Sounds like fun to try but may not be practical.

I should ask, how realtime should this log correlation be?

Best Practice type question

Our environment currently has 1 Connection factory defined per JMS Module. We also have multiple queues per JMS Module.
          In other J2EE AppServer environments I have worked in, we defined 1 connection factory per queue.
          Can someone explain if there a best practice, or at least a good reason for doing one over the other.
          The environment here is new enough that we can change how things are set up if it makes sense to do so.

My two cents: A CF allows configuration of client load-balancing behavior, flow-control behavior, default QOS, etc. I think its good to have one or more CFs configured per module, as presumably all destinations in the module are related in some way, and they therefore likely all require basically the same client behavior. If you have very few destinations, then it might help to have one CF per destination, but this places a bit more burden on the administrator to configure the extra CFs in the first place, and on everyone to remember which CF is best for communicating with which destination.

Best Practices needed -- question regarding global support success stories

My customer has a series of Go Lives scheduled throughout the year and is now concerned about an October EAI (Europe, Asia, International) go live. They wish to discuss the benefits of separating a European go Live from an Asia/International go live in terms of support capabilities and best practices. The European business is definitely larger and more important than the Asia/International business and the split would allow more targeted focus on Europe. My customer does not have a large number of resources to spare and is starting to think that supporting the combined go live may be too much (i.e., too much risk to the businesses) to handle.
The question for SAP is regarding success stories and best practices.
From a global perspective, do we recommend this split? Do most of our global customers split a go live in Europe from a go live in Asia/International (which is Australia, etc.). Can I reference any of these customers? If the EAI go live is not split, what is absolutely necessary for success, etc, etc? For example, if a core team member plus local support is required in each location, then this may not be possible with the resources they have u2026u2026..
I would appreciate any insights/best practices/success stories/or u201Cwaru201D stories you might be aware of.
Thank you in advance and best regards,
Barbara

Hi, this is purely based on customer requirement.
I have a friend in an Organization which went live in 38 centers at the same time.
With the latest technologies in networking, distances does not make any difference.
The Organization where I currently work in, has global business locations. In my current organization the go live was in phases. Here they went live in the region where the business was maximum first because this region was their largest and most important as far as revenue was concerned. Then after stabilizing this region, a group of consultants went to the rest of the regions for the go live in that region.
Both the companies referred above are successfully into SAP and are leading partners with SAP. Unfortunately I am not authorized to give you the names of the Organizations as a reference for you as you requested.
But in your case if you have shortage of manpower, you can do it in phases by first going live in the European Market and then in phases you can go live in the other regions.
Warm Regards

Parallels Server For Mac configuration (or any VM product), best practices

What is the recommended practice for configuring Parallels Server For Mac on an XServe? The xserve has 3 hard drive bays. What do most people do to maximize uptime, failover, disaster recovery, etc. We do have 3 different physical xserves with PSfM also.
Is a software RAID recommended for the boot OS drive? for the drive storing the VMs if not the same drive?
How are your hard drives configured?
I'm concerned that mirroring two 1TB hard drives and using that for both the host OS and for the VMs will present problems:
When creating new VMs, copying large amounts of data, etc, I'd guess that moving 10-100 GB of data is tasking for the software raid and will noticeably affect performance for all VMs.
If one of the mirrored drives fails and the raid needs to be rebuilt, this probably would bring the entire system to a crawl, at best, and possibly be unusable while it works to repair the raid. Thus it would have to be done during off peak hours. This would prevent a complete outage though.
are these correct assumptions?

Hello there,
There is no upgrade path from Server 2012 Essentials to R2. R2 is not an upgrade, it is a new build. Essentials does not upgrade easily, you will want to perform a migration of the server. This will require additional hardware. You
can possibly backup the 2012 Essentials, build a temp server on workstation hardware just to do the migration from, restore the backup to the new server and then perform the migration to R2.

Setting up a general Dev Machine: best practices

Hi
I would like to be less reliant on my local VMs for working with SharePoint and WordPress. So I would thought I would spin up new server fwith VS2015 Preview.  I guess it would make smart choices form the start so any advice
on these please
Users which user to create - I just created a random user which I think must be local or default domain since it is not in my AD . Is it easy to add more?
VS2015 updates. - do these happen automatically
How easy is to migrate to another VM and take settings with me
Where to store my code / and project files - I want to work on stuff in  mapped virtual / clolud drive from any VM then check in to VSOnline once I am happy. Are thee any recommendations
The RDP connection stability and timeout. - the former isn't that great but anyone set the latter:

Hi Daniel,
Since this forum is to discuss:
Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
And you know that actually one thread for one issue, if possible, you could post different questions in different threads, of course, it seems that some issues are not the VS General issues, so I will provide you the correct forums.
>>Users which user to create - I just created a random user which I think must be local or default domain since it is not in my AD . Is it easy to add more?
Do you mean that you want to know whether you could use the VS IDE if the current user is not the admin? I think it would be the VS setup issue, as far as I know, we would install the VS as the admin.
But you could post this issue to the VS setup forum for better response if I understanding this issue correctly.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vssetup
If not, please feel free to let me know.
>>VS2015 updates. - do these happen automatically.
The latest VS2015 is the VS2015 ctp 6, the RTM version is not released now. As far as I know, no update package for the VS2015 ctp 6 now.
>>How easy is to migrate to another VM and take settings with me.
The "settings" means the VS settings, am I right? As far as I know, we could use the VS settings synchronized on different computers with the same user ID to log on VS from the VS2013 version, so as my understanding, the VS2015 would support
this feature.

If this issue is related to the VSO, maybe this forum would be better for you:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=TFService
>>The RDP connection stability and timeout. - the former isn't that great but anyone set the latter:
It seems that it is related to the window, maybe you could share me more information about it.
In addition, if you meet any SharePoint development issue, please post the issue here:

Database best practice theoretical question

Hi Forums
I wasn't sure which forum to post this under- general non-specific Database question.
I have a client server database app, which is working well with a single network client currently. I need to implement some kind of database record locking scheme to avoid concurrency problems. I've worked on these kind of apps. before, but never one this complicated. Obviously I've scourged the web looking into this, but found not too much good reference material.
I was thinking of making some kind of class with several lists- one for each table that requires locking having record locks whilst transactions are occuring. Then having clients request locks on records, then release locks when they are finished.
I'm wondering if client requests a lock..then crashes without releasing locks. Should there be a timeout set to enable server release record? Should the client be polling the server to show its still working on the record? This sounds a mess to me!
If anyone can direct me to some good reference material on this I would appreciate it.

EDT* OK now I feel silly! Theres a great article on [Wiki |http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_control] showing some often used methods.

thanks for the response, yes there are many columns that violate 3NF and that is why the column count is so high.
Regarding the partition question, by better I meant by using "interval" the partitions could be created automatically at the specified interval instead of having to create them manually.The key is to understand the logic behind these tables and columns. Why it was designed like this, if it's business requirement then 200 some columns are not bad, if it's design flaw 20 columns could be too much. It's not necessarily always good to have strict 3NF design, sometime for various reason you can denormalize the tables to get better performance.
As to partitioning Q, you have to do the rolling window (drop/add partition as time goes by) type of partitioning scheme manually so far.

Transports to Production - Best Practice for Timing Imports

I would like to compile a list of possible issues/problems which can occur through Transporting requests to the Production system during Productive time, i.e. 'Business Time'.
This is obviously against SAP recommendations that, little if not no user activity should take place during a import, but i would like if possible some more detail on the risks.
Thanks for any help.

Best practice - a question on how best do somethin...

Hi,
The problem: To be able to geotag my location, adding a pin and some text to mark a particular point of interest at that location and then be able to navigate back to it in future. Ovi maps is not available in-browser which was my first choice (where you can add a POI) and I cannot seem to do this in Ovi Maps for N900.
(Of course the ideal for me would be to have desktop widget which I could press and it would mark my GPS location on a map with space for a comment but I know this isn't a wish list :-)
Could I please ask people their approach to this problem, what software they use and how.
Many thanks
Tom

Would be a nice feature. Not sure exactly what's coming in future updates or when Meego hits the servers. But someone over at Maemo.org forums may be able to suggest a couple of apps that are available or being developed.

Best Practice for Significant Amounts of Data

This is basically a best-practice/concept question and it spans both Xcelsius & Excel functions:
I am working on a dashboard for the US Military to report on some basic financial transactions that happen on bases around the globe. These transactions fall into four categories, so my aggregation is as follows:
Year,Month,Country,Base,Category (data is Transaction Count and Total Amount)
This is a rather high level of aggregation, and it takes about 20 million transactions and aggregates them into about 6000 rows of data for a two year period.
I would like to allow the users to select a Category and a country and see a chart which summarizes transactions for that country ( X-axis for Month, Y-axis Transaction Count or Amount ). I would like each series on this chart to represent a Base.
My problem is that 6000 rows still appears to be too many rows for an Xcelsius dashboard to handle. I have followed the Concatenated Key approach and used SUMIF to populate a matrix with the data for use in the Chart. This matrix would have Bases for row headings (only those within the selected country) and the Column Headings would be Month. The data would be COUNT. (I also need the same matrix with Dollar Amounts as the data).
In Excel this matrix works fine and seems to be very fast. The problem is with Xcelsius. I have imported the Spreadsheet, but have NOT even created the chart yet and Xcelsius is CHOKING (and crashing). I changed Max Rows to 7000 to accommodate the data. I placed a simple combo box and a grid on the Canvas u2013 BUT NO CHART yet u2013 and the dashboard takes forever to generate and is REALLY slow to react to a simple change in the Combo Box.
So, I guess this brings up a few questions:
1)     Am I doing something wrong and did I miss something that would prevent this problem?
2)     If this is standard Xcelsius behavior, what are the Best Practices to solve the problem?
a.     Do I have to create 50 different Data Ranges in order to improve performance (i.e. Each Country-Category would have a separate range)?
b.     Would it even work if it had that many data ranges in it?
c.     Do you aggregate it as a crosstab (Months as Column headings) and insert that crosstabbed data into Excel.
d.     Other ideas that Iu2019m missing?
FYI: These dashboards will be exported to PDF and distributed. They will not be connected to a server or data source.
Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Best practice for a deplomyent (EAR containing WAR/EJB) in a productive environment

Hi there,
I'm looking for some hints regarding to the best practice deployment in a productive
environment (currently we are not using a WLS-cluster);
We are using ANT for buildung, packaging and (dynamic) deployment (via weblogic.Deployer)
on the development environment and this works fine (in the meantime);
For my point of view, I would like to prefere this kind of Deploment not only
for the development, also for the productive system.
But I found some hints in some books, and this guys prefere the static deployment
for the p-system.
My question now:
Could anybody provide me with some links to some whitepapers regarding best practice
for a deployment into a p-system ??
What is your experiance with the new two-phase-deploment coming up with WLS 7.0
Is it really a good idea to use the static deployment (what is the advantage of
this kind of deployment ???
THX in advanced
-Martin

Hi Siva,
What best practise are you looking for ? If you can be specific on your question we could provide appropriate response.
From my basis experience some of the best practices.
1) Productive landscape should have high availability to business. For this you may setup DR or HA or both.
2) It should have backup configured for which restore has been already tested
3) It should have all the monitoring setup viz application, OS and DB
4) Productive client should not be modifiable
5) Users in Production landscape should have appropriate authorization based on SOD. There should not be any SOD conflicts
6) Transport to Production should be highly controlled. Any transport to Production should be moved only with appropriate Change Board approvals.
7) Relevant Database and OS security parameters should be tested before golive and enabled
8) Pre-Golive , Post Golive should have been performed on Production system
9) EWA should be configured atleast for Production system
10) Production system availability using DR should have been tested
Hope this helps.

Deepak Kori

Best Practice for Production environment

Hello everyone,
can someone share the best practice for a production environment? or is there a SAP standard best practice to follow in a Production landscape?
