I'm looking for best practice on allowing employees to install apps.

How does your company deal with employees uploading apps on company owned devices? Is there a request process? Can they expense them? What if they use their personal Apple accounts? Do you use an MDM to manage the devices? What are your security concerns? I'm in the process of formulating a policy (large multi national corp.) and am looking for some best practices.
Thanks

I think the main consideration is that you a multi-national organization, presumably widely distributed geographically. Local management via Configurator or USB IPCU really don't make sense over the long term. An MDM is designed for situations such as you describe. For licensing reasons,each iPad used by a different individual must have a unique Apple ID. One individual could use the same Apple ID on multiple devices he or she controls. Individual devices used by multiple individuals can also have a single Apple ID. In our environment, we typically ask each user to setup an individual Apple ID when they receive their device. They are allowed to download and pay for whatever personal apps they choose. Apps which would be used for Business purposes must be vetted by Security to ensure they protect organization data. Business apps can be deployed via the Apple VPP using our MDM, which is AirWatch. An MDM is included with Lion Server. You could look at this to get some ideas about what it does and how it does it. Airwatch offers a free trial. Some users of this forum have had experience with Meraki. That is another choice. You should also look at the Enterprise Deployment Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Enterprise_Deployment_guide.pdf
and the VPP
http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
Frankly, though it isn't completely applicable to your situation, the Education deployment guide has a great deal of good information
http://images.apple.com/education/docs/IOS_5_Education_Deployment_Guide.pdf
Hope this helps a bit.

Looking for best practice on application scope beans

Hey â€“ a portal newbie here. Iâ€™ve got some application scope beans that need to be initialized on startup. First thought was to create a servlet that would set the bean. Then I saw the GlobalApp setting, but I think that looks like it is more session scope than applicationâ€¦ Looking to be corrected here if I am wrong.
Is there a place where these type of things traditionally happen? Read only, so no cluster worries (I think) Using WLP 8.1 SP4 and looking for best practices. Thanks for the help!

To support "code sharing" you need an integrated source code control system. Several options are out there but CVS (https://www.cvshome.org/) is a nice choice, and it's completely free and it runs on Windows, Linux, and most UNIX variants.
Your next decision is on IDE and application server. These are usually from a single "source". For instance, you can choose Oracle's JDeveloper and Deploy to Oracle Application Server; or go with free NetBeans IDE and Jakarta Tomcat; or IBM's WebSphere and their application server. Selection of IDE and AppServer will likely result in heated debates.

Looking for best practice sending args to classes

Unfortunately, I'm stuck in a company that only employs MS developers, so I'm kind of stranded with no buddies to mentor my java skills... so thanks in advance for any help, I appreciate it.
Anyway, I think that I've been doing things the hard way for a while and I'm looking for some sort of best practice to start using. I'm currently working on a GUI that will take all the selections, via combo boxes, text fields, etc., and send them to a class (a web bot, actually) and run it.
I'm starting to run into the problem of having too many arguments to send to my Bot class. What's a good way that I should be doing this? I figure I can do it a couple of ways, right?
new Bot(arg1, arg2, ......... argX);
Bot bot = new Bot();
bot.setArg1("something");
bot.setArg2("something");
etc..
bot.run();Or, is there a better way? Can I package all the args in a collection somehow?? That way I only have 1 argument to send... I don't know... Thanks for the help.

Create a class "Data" (for example) that encapsulates all the data you want to pass to the Bot class. Then create an instance of the Data class and set all the relevant fields (i.e. setArg1 etc). Now you pass this Data instance to your Bot class. This way you only have to pass one Object around and you've encapsulated all your data.

Audio & Captivate: Looking for best practice

Good Morning,
i'am looking for some sort of best practice, handling a lot of audios within single captivate slides. Please let us take a look at the workflow:
I write concepts in Word or OpenOffice, describing on a slide-base the content, media (pics, animations, ...), interactions
The client read these concepts, and write a reading report with all changes, additions
We held a harmonisation meeting for every 3-5 hours calculated e-learning-concepts, argueing about the clients annotations and looking for a stable agreement
I produce the first version, in this case with Adobe Captivate, and for the audios i use text2speech.
The client checks this first Version, send me his audit report.
I produce version 1.
So, where is the problem? My problem is the handling of the audio-files, up to 10 per slide. In version 1, all audios are spoken by professional speakers from german radio-stations, recorded in our own studio. And i'am looking for a comfortable way to exchange all synthetic audios without leaving anything within captivate, the final version must be as clean and slim as possible.
For the handling and tracking i use AlienBrain, because in some projects, we have a few hundred of thousands assets to watch and track ... and it is no problem if anything wents wrong, just some clicks and i've restored the older version of a pic, audio or a complete project.
Using other tools, i do not care about this. Within the project-folders, they are stored within a modul-based audio-folder. And every single audio-files as an unique identifer (A024_37_12_004.mp4, "A" for Audio, then chapter_module_page_sequentialnumberperpage.mp4/mp3/wav). After i have recieved the spoken audios from the studio, i just overwrite the synthetic audios and the "real" audios are automatically embedded in my slides, so if i make a new release, everything is fine. Older, synthetic version kept by AlienBrain.
In Captivate, everything seems to be ... hm, i have to be polite ;-) ... a little more complicated. Or even worse, i'am unable to see the solution. Maybe somebody may share a working and fast way for the needed audio-procedure? Or something like a proofed workaround?
Kind regards
Marc :-)

Additional information:
Mostly, we have 3-5 audios per slide/page. 10 is absolutely maximum.
And because we are talk about overall thousands of audio-files, i hopefully find a good way to keep them as external sources and Captivate embedd them just at the moment, when i have to produce a new release. (That is the main problem - sorry, my english language modules are still asleep after a long and busy weekend) And as i've learned, object-audio can't be used with external audio-files.
At the company, we've talked about the best process (theres is another huge project running and the guys - experienced people - are also new to captivate). At this moment, the prefered solution is to connect all audios, 4 by example. And then we can "Play/Pause" the audio at our needs. It is a little bit like stumbling blindfolded through heavy mist.
Another idea, brought up by me, was to multiply the slide so the first slide shows paragraph/pic/audio. After a click, next slide loads, exactly in the same state as the previous slides ends, next text/pic/animation and the next audio. But with that, i will end up with thousends of slides only because of the audio-handling.
Maybe it is a good idea to explain a really typically update process which may show what we like to see:
The modul is ready, delivered and the client is happy
After 6 months, there is a technical change within one part and the client need a single new audio
In reality in one special module, part of over 200 hours learning, after a year we've been instructed to record new versions for 35 of 80 audios ... in just one of somehundred modules
In captivate we try to avoid touching every single slide again.
At the moment i own just a standalone version of Captivate (5.5), the eLearning Suite has been ordered and arrives next week.
Tools we've used in the past (and until now due to clients requirements) without any problems ... dealing with audios ;-) :
Toolbook
Sumatra
CourseLab
Individual Flash Solutions

Looking for best practices when creating DNS reverse zones for DHCP

Hello,
We are migrating from ISC DHCP to Microsoft DHCP. We would like the DHCP server to automatically update DNS A and PTR records for computers when they get an IP. The question is, what is the best practice for creating the reverse look up zones in DNS? Here
is an example:
10.0.1.0/23
This would give out IPs from 10.0.1.1-10.0.2.254. So with this in mind, do we then create the following reverse DNS zones?:
1.0.10.in-addr.arpa AND 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa
OR do we only create:
0.10.in-addr.arpa And both 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 addresses will get stuffed into those zones.
Or is there an even better way that I haven't thought about? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Base on your description, creating two reverse DNS zones 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa and 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa, or creating one reverse DNS zone 0.10.in-addr.arpa, both methods are all right.
Best Regards,
Tina

Looking for best practice on naming conventions

Does anyone out there have a best practice on naming conventions that they could share.
I'm starting to find the need to create objects and associated variables and actions.
I can see this getting very messy, very quickly and would love to learn if someone has come up with a good set of guidelines that are both easy to follow and make perfect sense. (I know....what a balance to ask for!)
Thanks
Alan

Hi Alan,
Welcome to Adobe Community.
There are couple of things that you can keep in mind while naming objects.
When creating custom text caption styles, be sure to follow the correct naming conventions. Each caption style has a unique name, and you must
use this name at the beginning of each associated bitmap filename. For example, if you create a text caption style named “Brightblue,” the five
bitmap images that constitute the new style should be named as follows:
Brightblue1.bmp, an image with no callouts
Brightblue2.bmp, an image with a callout to the right or upper-right
Brightblue3.bmp, an image with a callout to the left or upper-left
Brightblue4.bmp, an image with a callout to the lower right
Brightblue5.bmp, an image with a callout to the lower left
Flash button-naming conventions
Each SWF button contains three layers: a button, an icon, and an action layer.
The SWF filename consists of the following elements:
Acronym for playback control (“pbc”)
Playback element identifier (“Btn” for button, “Bar” for bar, and so on)
Name of the button (“play”).
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

HT201407 I administer 50 phones. Looking for best practices concerning iCloud. This program and my users have made it difficult to reuse phones when persons are terminated.

Several times I have had to chase after terminated employees for iCloud accounts and passwords. It has been a nightmare. How do I remove iCloud accounts from company devices, or better yet, prevent users from creating personal icloud accounts? What are the 'best practices' concerning the use of iCloud?

Looking for best practice Port Authentication

Hello,
I'm currently deploying 802.1x on a campus with Catalyst 2950 and 4506.
There are lots of Printers and non-802.1x devices (around 200) which should be controlled by their mac-address. Is there any "best practice" besides using sticky mac-address learning.
I'm thinking of a central place where alle mac-addresses are stored (i.e. ACS).
Another method would be checking only the first part of the mac-address (vendor OID) on the switch-ports.
Any ideas out there??
regards
Hubert

I'm looking for "best practices" advice for a project setup (Premiere CS5.5, Windows 7 Pro)

I have been tasked with updating an old Corporate video with new music, sounds, graphics and narration.
The ONLY video-camera material I have is from a corporate DVD (NTSC) - the original source material is simply not available. .
I can rip the DVD to MPEG 2 and import it into Premiere without issue, but would like to be able to use higher-resolutions for the updated graphics.
I plan to export to Youtube (HD) but may well export to DVD or BluRay as well.
My question really narrows down to how to manage Sequences. I figure that my Sequence settings should be the highest resolution I expect to work with (Youtube HD or Bluray) allowing me to easily export to lower quality, but I don't really know if it's as simple as that. Is there an industry standard methodology? Am I close?

Premiere can actually use .vob files from DVDs, just copy them from DVD to hard drive, then Import into Premiere.
Is the existing DVD video in a 4:3 or 16:9 format? If 4:3, consider how you will work that into a 16:9 program. Rather than having black pillar bars at the sides, many editors will put in some sort of background to fill that space. A popular solution is to duplicate the 4:3 video on a lower track, stretch to fill the screen and add Gaussian Blur effect. Since the colors/content of the side bars will match the main video, it is somewhat disguises the fact that the video is 4:3.
If you put SD footage into an HD program, it is going to look "soft" compared to HD footage. As a compromise, you might consider editing the new program as 720p rather than 1080p, so that the SD resolution is not being stretched as far. All computer video/YouTube video is non-interlaced, meaning editing sequences and exports should be done as Progressive.
Potential workflow issue - if you take the existing SD footage from the DVD, and upscale it into an HD sequence, then export back to DVD (SD resolution), the video is turned to mush. It has been upscaled, then dowscaled again, really kills the quality. Might need to copy the finished HD sequence to an SD sequence, fix any size/scaling issues for graphics and titles, and export DVD from the SD sequence to avoid the upscale/downscale of SD footage. Note that DVD video is highly compressed, so you are already working with a weak source material, recompressing again is going to be a quality hit in any case, but definitely avoid upscale/downscale again.
I don't have Adobe apps in front of me at the moment, but I believe the 720p Blu-ray export options are limited, perhaps 720p at 59.94 only, not certain. That may effect your decision of 1080p versus 720p.
Hope these tips help
Thanks

Looking for best practices advice

Hi all !!
We are planning to migrate an old application and are evaluating products, tools and frameworks. I've just finished the Netbeans tutorial at
http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/vwp-inserts_updates_deletes.html
The application is not too complex but it's not trivial either, and we need to develop it as a web application, but in its behavior it's more like a classic desktop application.
In the tutorial the CRUD operations are performed by data providers associated to visual components like tables, but we need to manipulate data by program.
So after finishing the tutorial I've created some entity beans with Hibernate and now I'm trying to use them within the sample tutorial. For example a "Process" button which extract data from many tables an insert into others.
I'm sure it will work, but I feel that I'm not using the proper techniques, like avoiding so much behavior in a button event handler. I would like to separate in tiers, have the SQL in stored procedures, etc.
Even the turorial has SQL code embedded in the data providers.
What would you advice me in order to get most clean code, productivity and maintanibility ??
Thanks and cheers,
Daniel

I've found this all answered in the Netbeans nbusers mailing list archives, basically it says Web and Visual Web Applications are different kind of projects as of yet, but will be completely merged in a near future, hopefully the upcoming NB 6 due approx. May this year.
For anyone interested in this issue I advice to search the nbusers archive for the keywords "visual web persistence" (without the quotes).
Also I acknowledge that the netbeans mailing list archives are a best place to ask this kind of questions that tis forum.
Cheers,
Daniel
