Best Practice for Managing a BPC Environment?

My company is currently running a BPC 5.1 MS environment and will soon be upgrading to version 7.0 MS. I was wondering if there is a white paper or some guidance that anyone can give with regard to the best practice for managing a BPC environment. Which brings to light several questions in my mind:
1. Which department(s) in a company should u201Cownu201D the BPC application?
2. If both, whatu2019s SAPu2019s recommendation for segregation of duties?
3. What roles should exist within our company to manage BPC?
4. What type(s) of change control is SAPu2019s u201CBest Practiceu201D?
We are currently evaluating the best way to manage the system across multiple departments, however there is no real business ownership in the system, which seems to be counter to the reason for having BPC as a solution in the first place.
Any guidance on this would be very much appreciated.

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

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
mek

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:

Any "best practices" for managing a 1.3TB iPhoto library?

Does anyone have any "best practices" or suggestions for managing and dealing with a large iPhoto library? I currently have a 1.3 TB library. This is made up of anything shot in the past 8 years culminating with the past 2 years being 5D Mark II images. This also includes a big dose of 1080P video shot with the camera. These are only our family photos so I would hate to break up the library into years as that would really hurt a lot of iPhotos "power".
It runs fine in day to day use, but I recently tried to upgrade to iPhoto 11 and it crashes repeatedly during the upgrading library process.
(I have backups, so no worries there.)
I just know with Lion and iPhoto 9 being a bit old my upgrade day is coming and I'm not sure what my path is.

If you have both versions of iPhoto on your Mac then try the following; While running iPhoto 09 create a new, test library and import a few photos into it. Then try to convert that test library with iPhoto 11. If it converts OK then your big library is causing the problem.
If that's the case you can try rebuilding your working library as follows: make a temporary, backup copy of the library and try the following:
launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
select the options identified in the screenshot.
Click to view full size
Once rebuild try converting it to iPhoto 11.
NOTE: if you already have a backup copy of your library you don't need to make the temporary backup copy.

What is good practice for playing multiple video's in a single swf?

Hello,
I have build in the past a video wall with video's inside. After building this i came across some problems.
If you have too many video players loading at once it takes a lot of processing and the tweens in the
page while loading the video's where not moving fluidly, but more in a stuttering way.
After lot's of test i found a good working solution. I imported the flv video's into flash en exported them on the timeline
as a embedded swf. Then i externally loaded these swf files and that performed much better.
Is it even good practice to load multiple video instances at once? I used this time the LoaderMax of greensock but the video's
only play after it's completely loaded. I would like to find a way to progressive play all video's at.
Does someone has experience with this?
Regards,
Chris.

How about an XML file which supplies the title for each movie and the location or source of the video to be played? Simple version below.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <playlist>
<video src="Gfx/video/Alex1.f4v" title="John Deere 330" />
<video src="Gfx/video/Benni1.f4v" title="Hitachi Z240F" />
<video src="Gfx/video/Scotti1.f4v" title="Hitachi Z350F" />
<video src="Gfx/video/Scotti2.f4v" title="Hitachi Z350F" />

Best practice for managing Apple ID's in an enterprise enviroment.

We have just started to incorporate iPads into our Corporate enviroment. We have had them in use for the last couple of months and to be fair they have worked well but i guess now is the time to try and workout some of the issues we are experiencing with them, the re-occuring issues that just seem to keep haunting us.
As part of the deployment we gave those with current apple id's the option of using their own, particularly those Execs who already had iPads and iPhones. We are currently using active sync with our exchange server for access to email.
How do other people manage Apple ID's?
How do other people handle the password change scenario.. we have had users on holiday where their passwords have expired and they have been unable to access the email...also the issue of you reset your password on the network but you still need to re-authenticate it on the iPad...does anyone have a decent app that can get us round this?
what issues have others found?

Best practice for managing a Windows 7 deployment with both 32-bit and 64-bit?

What is the best practice for creating and organizing deployment shares in MDT for a Windows 7 deployment that has mostly 32-bit computers, but a few 64-bit computers as well? Is it better to create a single deployment share for Windows 7 and include both
versions, or is it better to create two separate deployment shares? And what about 32-bit and 64-bit versions of applications?
I'm currently leaning towards creating two separate deployment shares, just so that I don't have to keep typing (x86) and (x64) for every application I import, as well as making it easier when choosing applications in the Lite Touch installation. But I know
each deployment share has the option to create both an x86 and x64 boot image, so that's why I am confused.

Supporting two task sequences is way easier than supporting two shares. Two shares means two boot media, or maintaining a method of directing the user to one or the other. Everything needs to be imported or configured twice. Not to mention doubling storage
space. MDT is designed to have multiple task sequences, why wouldn't you use them?
Supporting multiple task sequences can be a pain, but not bad once you get a system. Supporting app installs intelligently is a large part of that. We have one folder per app install, with a wrapper vbscript that handles OS detection. If there are separate
binaries, they are placed in x86 and x64 subfolders. Everything runs from one folder via the same command, "cscript install.vbs". So, import once, assign once, and forget it. Its the same install package we use for Altiris, and we'll be using a Powershell
version of it when we fully migrate to SCCM.
Others handle x86 and x64 apps separately, and use the MDT app details to select what platform the app is meant for. I've done that, but we have a template for the vbscript wrapper and its a standard process, I believe its easier. YMMV.
Once you get your apps into MDT, create bundles. Core build bundle, core deploy bundle, Laptop deploy bundle, etcetera. Now you don't have to assign twenty apps to both task sequences, just one bundle. When you replace one app in the bundle, all TS'es are
updated automatically. Its kind of the same mentality as active directory. Users, groups and resources = apps, bundles and task sequences.
If you have separate build and deploy shares in your lab, great. If not, separate your apps into build and deploy folders in your lab MDT share. Use a selection profile to upload only your deploy side to production. In fact I separate everything (except
drivers) into Build and deploy folders on my lab server. Don't mix build and deploy, and don't mix Lab/QA and production. I also keep a "Retired" folder. When I replace an app, TS, OS, etcetera, I move it to the retired folder and append "RETIRED - " to the
front of it so I can instantly spot it if it happens to show up somewhere it shouldn't.
To me, the biggest "weakness" of MDT is its flexibility. There's literally a dozen different ways to do everything, and there's no fences to keep you on the path. If you don't create some sort of organization for yourself, its very easy to get lost as things
get complicated. Tossing everything into one giant bucket will have you pulling your hair out.

Update suggestion for Music Player N8 and other mo...

One thing I hate on this N8 is the music player. You can only sort by Album & Artist. I would prefer to sort by Album only or Artist only. My music list is all over the place because of it.
I think Nokia would be a much better phone if they concentrated on their music player.

I would like this to bee addressed to. Please separate Artist and Albums!
N8 FW: 022.014 -- Please separate Artist & Albums!
N86 8MP FW: 30.009 -- We need a new FW on this phone!
E51 FW: 410.34.001
E70 FW: 2.0618.07.10 -- Why no v3 for my code?

Good practice for async databinding, regarding entity-framework.

I have some issue to find a good pattern to keep my UI responsive using asynch databinding and entity framework which is not thread-safe. It would be a shame if the UI came to totaly freeze with no feedback for a connection lost.
So, entity framework is not thread-safe. Which mean I won't be able to rely on lazy loading here and involve than if I do async databinding to a collection of object, each object will have to load their navigations properties with their own context to display
data. Ok, I can handle this. But what if I need more than displaying data and I want to modify a navigation property ?
I need when I set the navigation property in my viewmodel to attach an entity from the same context than the parent entity is from. So here I have one context for multiple thread. What do I do ? =(
Does anyone have some experience in it and can help me to clear this mess from my mind ? =D
All the sample I can find about async databinding don't go any further than make a Thread.Sleep before returning a string, it's not realy helpfull.

There are reasons people post simple explanations.
One of those is because they post blog entries when they're learning something rather than when they are expert in it. The blog post is part of their learning process.
I sometimes share context.
What I do is put the context in Application.Current.Resources and then go get it from there when I need to re-use that particular one.
xxxDomainContext DBContext = new xxxDomainContext();
Application.Current.Resources.Add("DBContext", DBContext);
and using that:
context = (xxxxDomainContext)Application.Current.Resources["DBContext"];
You can alternatively share collections in a similar way. Depends on how many related tables you have, but reading a whole tree of static data is sometimes a good idea rather than just one table at a time.
One technique I use is to cache slowly changing data on the client and then go get changes since the last run off the server. For a fair few applications, yesterdays data is good enough for most data sets. It's just the odd one or two which you really
need up to date numbers or whatever.
You can see a collection shared in this sample ( but the sharing is for different reasons ) :

Good practices for ECC 6.0 wr.t. internal tables..

hi,
i am told that when defining internal tables in ecc 6.0, we shud avoid using OCCURS and WITH HEADER LINE. and always use work areas..
is this right ? is this a good practice or a must ?
i followed this and created an internal table without a header line .then i am using a collect statement in my programn which fails and says that IT is not with header line !!
COLLECT ITT.
what to do ?
thks

Yes, that is correct. SAP is pushing the use of ABAP Objects and you can not use OCCURS or HEADER LINEs in the ABAP OO context. You should always defined explicitly and a work area.
Data: itab type table of mara.
Data: wa like line of itab.
So then you must keep this in mind when doing any operations on internal tables, like in the case of the COLLECT statement, the syntax would be.
wa-field1 = '1'.
wa-field2 = '2'.
Collect wa into itab.

Best practices for Manage beans and Navigation flow

Hi,
I have the following scenarios along with the possible solutions. I need confirmation from JSF experts, which is recommended way of doing it.
Scenario
I need to show a list of item from database/config file to the user. User will select the show details from the menu and the details page will be shown with list of items.
User - > Menu - >Show Details -> Details Page.
Components
DetailsBean.java
menu.jsp
Details.jsp
Solution 1:
a) When user click show details, call DetailsBean.populate(),
b) DetailsBean.populate() method populate list from DB, store it as a property in it and returns the String for next flow
c) User will be navigated to the Details.jsp using the <from-outcome> for menu.jsp.
d) Details.jsp will read the property from DetailsBean() to show the list of items on page.
Solution 2
a) When user click show details, navigate user to the Details.jsp.
b) Details.jsp is tied with the DetailsBean.populate() method , will get the list and print the page.
I am little confused which one to be used and when ?. Are there any scenarios where we need to use specifically solution 1 , any sometimes specifically solution 2?
In Brief
*" Should we populate bean first and let the jsp page, just draw what ever is there in the bean, without thinking much about how the bean get populated"*
or
*"Should we let JSP to call methods on bean, get contents directly and show to user, no need to store in bean."*
Let me know, my you need more information about my question.
Expecting an quick reply on this.
Thanks,
Sudhir

In real world, I never use navigation cases. I always declare action methods void (or return null, if you want). I just show results at the same page, if necessary with help of the 'rendered' attribute. And then for plain page-to-page navigation I just use GET all the way using h:outputLink or plain HTML <a> elements, but not with commandLinks. Finally it's all much better for the User Experience.

Best Practice for managing variables for multiple environments

I am very new to Java WebDynPro and have a question
concerning our deployments to Sandbox, Development, QA,
and Production environments.
What is the 'best practice' that people use so that if
you have information specific to each environment you
don't hard-code it in your Java WebDynPro code.
I could put the value in a properties file, but how do I
make that variant? Otherwise I'd still have to make a
change for each environment to the property file and
re-deploy. I know there are some configurations on the
Portal but am not sure if that will work in my instance.
For example, I have a URL that varies based on my
environment. I don't want to hard-code and re-compile
for each environment. I'd prefer to get that
information on the fly by knowing which environment I'm
running in and load the appropriate URL.
So far the only thing I've found that is close to
telling me where I'm running is by using a Parameter Map
but the 'key' in the map is the URL not the value and I
suspect there's a cleaner way to get something like that.
I used Eclipse's autosense in Netweaver to discover some
of the things available in my web context.
Here's the code I used to get that map:
TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameterMap();
In the forum is an example that gets the IP address of
the site you're serving from. It sounds like it is going
to be or has been deprecated (it worked on my system
right now) and I would really rather have something like
the DNS name, not something like an IP that could change.
Here's that code:
String remoteHost = TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getWebContextAdapter().getHttpServletRequest().getRemoteHost();
Thanks in advance for any clues you can throw my way -
Greg

Hi Greg:
I suggest you that checks the "Software Change Managment Guide", in this guide you can find an explication of the best practices to work with a development infrastructure.
this is the link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/83/74c4ce0ed93b4abc6144aafaa1130f/frameset.htm
Now if you can gets the ip of your server or the name of your site you can do the next thing:
HttpServletRequest request = ((IWebContextAdapter) WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter()).getHttpServletRequest();
String server_name = request.getServerName();
String remote_address = request.getRemoteAddr()
String remote_host = request.getRemoteHost()
Only you should export the servlet.jar in your project properties > Build Path > Libraries.
Good Luck

What is a best practice for managing a large amount of ever-changing hyperlinks?

I am moving an 80+ page printed catalog online. We need to add hyperlinks to our Learning Management System courses to each reference of a class - there are 100s of them. I'm having difficulty understanding what the best practice is for consistent results when I need to go back and edit (which we will have to do regularly).
These seem like my options:
Link the actual text - sometimes when I go back to edit the link I can't find it in InDesign but can see it's there when I open up the PDF in Acrobat
Draw an invisible box over the text and link it - this seems to work better but seems like an extra step
Do all of the linking in Acrobat
Am I missing anything?
Here is the document in case anyone wants to see it so far. For the links that are in there, I used a combination of adding the links in InDesign then perfecting them using Acrobat (removing additional links or correcting others that I couldn't see in InDesign). This part of the process gives me anxiety each month we have to make edits. Nothing seems consistent. Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

what exatly needs to be edited, the hyperlink or content or?
