Ideas for initial recon and provisioning

Hi,
We have an existing AD environment that we are going to integrate with OIM. Here is our plan:
1) Full target recon to create resource for all existing users and bring in current AD attributes.
2) Add AD to Access Policies for new users and use prepops to fill in many of the data elements.
We are trying to figure out the easiest ways to:
1) Update existing AD users with new attributes (our new mapping rules for AD include several new attributes that do not exist today)? Would you use OIM somehow or would you create ldif files to update the existing users?
2) Update existing AD users with modified attributes (in somecases we are improving the data that exists for each user in AD)? Would you use OIM or would you create ldif files to update existing users?
We can not wait for all users to get their main OIM form updated to update these values.
Thanks.

All the reputable devs are busy and out of reach.
Apple takes 30% from the price, so you're left to figure profit after knowing how many you will sell/did sell.
Development costs can range from less than USD$10k to six figures or more.

Ideas for lastest chipsets and computing hardware

i have many ideas for silicone based builds and i would like input from everyone if you wish.
discrete graphics are great and i believe that both Intel and AMD have made great recent leaps in this architecture and i give them both respect.
i believe low cas is the way to go for memory to assist in optimal multi-core usage and rendering capability.
3-d technology looks amazing to me although i have yet to try it out myself as well as a lot of the newest touch screens.
i would like to see 4-8 system threads with high physics per thread and as low of frequency as possible for less power draw after all if we are going to be innovative we should be energy efficient at the same time.
my point of view is from a gamers and over clocking perspective with little understanding of the hard work that goes into the programming and server end of the computing industry.

Creative ideas for Remote Backups and Working from Home??

Here's my problem in a nutshell:
My primary workstation is at my office where all my important files are stored. I backup once a month onto an external firewire drive which I (usually) keep off location in case of fire/theft etc.
In the future I'm going to need to conduct about 75% of my work from my office and the remainder from home. I'd like to be able to work on a file at my office. Go home. Sleep. And be able to work on the same file from home the next morning.
Any ideas for how I should do this? One solution I had was to run a nightly backup of my office computer (a tower) to a remote firewire drive at home (basically a clone). I could then plugin into the firewire drive with my laptop. This would also serve as a remote backup of my client's files.
Does this make sense? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions or pointers in terms of easy-to-use backup software. And how complicated would it be to set this up to a remote drive? And will there be problems with remotely backing us, say, a 500 MB file?
Cheers!

What O/Ss are involved; are they both OS X? Home OS X, work Windows?
Many people telecommute by running the applications remotely, with a display server connecting their application to the system they're using. For instance, my work system is Linux; all applications use X windows as their display interface. My home system is OS X, which includes an optional X windows display server. Most of the time, when I need to work from home, I run a VPN client and use 'ssh -X' from an xterm under X on OS X to log in to my office system; and then I can run any application on my office system and have it display on my OS X system.
Similar solutions exist for most common OSs. Windows systems can run VNC or Citrix to export their display to clients that can run on OS X, Linux, or Windows; OS X can run Remote Desktop to export their display to clients that can run on Linux or OS X; etc.

IDES for Aerospace & Defense and/or IMC

I am brand new to SAP and am looking to understand whether or not the industry solutions for A&D and/or IMC exist in an IDES system that we could load to our training landscape. A google search turned up some help.sap.com page that was created for 4.6 which listed documentation for ordering an engine located at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/fr/d3/6813361f5af635e10000009b38f839/frameset.htm . Does this mean that the A&D solution is included as part of the IDES installation? Apologies in advance for any incorrect verbiage/terminology... I was raised on JD Edwards and am just learning Saponese..
Thanks,
JC

KC,
You did answer your own question here. Yes, you probably have to build out your health and safety solution. You would have to look at the individual technical requirements for each IDES instance to understand what might be possible.

Need Ideas for Minimalist Website and Image Gallery

I am looking for ideas for creating a minimalist online image gallery/portfolio? I want to either use html for the site and then flash for the portfolio images or some other method. I want to click on the thumbnails and then a large image will open.
Should I use Flash, Dreamweaver, Would it be easier to load the images dynamically to a folder. Does anyone have an example they could show me. Thanks.

I second Mahendra's suggestion for JAlbum Excellent product! Just so you know, you don't need to use their image hosting. Simply download the software and install it on your PC. The beauty of JAlbum is that it generates thumbnails and HTML pages for you from your folder of images. Lots of different Skins available. CSS can be customized. And you can't beat the price.
Minimalism is nice but on the web, if you don't have some real text in the HTML markup you're essentially invisible to search engines, language translators and web assisting technologies like screen readers. I realize this is a portfolio, but you want to maintain some degree of visibility so people can find you. For this reason, Flash sites don't do well. HTML is preferred.
Good luck with your project,

Recon and provisioning of user-defined object class ICF Active Directory

I have followed the documentation instructions for reconciliation of a user-defined object class in the ICF Active Directory connector. I am using OIM 11gR2 with the ICF Active Directory 11.1.1.5 connector patched to 11.1.1.5.0A. The procedure states to create the new object class in AD and then change the objectClass value in the Lookup.Configuration.ActiveDirectory lookup. In my case I am using the existing ObjectClass of contact, rather than a new object class. Just for completeness I am using a clone of the AD User Resource Object which I call AD User Contact and so my lookup name is Lookup.Configuration.ActiveDirCon.
When I changed the ObjectClass from User to Contact, and ran the Active DirCon User Target Recon scheduled job, with Object Type also = contact. The first issue I noticed was that the connector wanted a different set of lookups, which is not in the documentation. It is looking for a lookup in my Configuration lookup where code key=contact Configuration Lookup (which I should have expected since there are code keys for User, Group, and organizationalUnit). I added a line to the lookup where code key=contact Configuration Lookup and the Decode=Lookup.ActiveDirCon.CM.Configuration and then I created a new lookup by that name, assigning the 5 values to be the Lookup.ActiveDirCon.UM.xxx lookups. I did not see any need to create a new set of Lookup.ActiveDirCon.CM.xxx lookups with the exact same values.
I re-ran the scheduled job and it ran successfully, but did not generate any Recon Events, even though I had objects in the OU and I have that same OU in the Lookup.ActiveDirCon.OrganizationalUnits lookup (from the Org Lookup Recon). Everything looks good but getting no results. Looked at the log file from the ConnectorServer and it is building the query properly and executing it properly with the correct syntax, getting no errors, but the SearchAndReturnObjects method is returning zero results.
Looking to see if anyone has successfully reconciled in user-defined or other non-User objectClass objects from Active Directory, and if so, can you provide Lookup configuration and Connector Server information so I can troubleshoot.
I resolved this issue by changing the recon lookups to a blank lookup called Lookup.ActiveDirCon.CM.ReconAttrMap and only added in the parameters that are used by a Contact object. Only populate the ReconAttrMap with parameters that exist for the custom object.

Flat-File Recon And Provision to DB Apps Table

Hi,
I have a query relating to the process for recon with Oracle HRMS and creating/updating users in OIM and then approval to provision to target resource.
The following is detailed process that I am looking for -
1. Run Recon to get the users from flat file location.
2. Create users in OIM and based on information from flat file trigger approval process for creation of the users in target resource
Please tell me what is the process I need to follow to configure the flat file gtc and also to trigger the approval/provisioning process for target resource.
Thanks.

Hi,
To configure the flat file gtc, just go through Admin console guid there you will find all the required steps for flat file recon. Or you can refer the OIM Labs also.
Now to trigger the db provisioning with approval, you can crete access policy on ALL User group as all the user get created in that particular group. While you will create access policy there is option to check for Approval Required,just chyeck that option and your approval will start tirgger automatically.
On the other end you need to create an resourceobject, it resource, provisioning process and approval process for database provisioning.
Let me know if you have any query for the same.

Looking for some ideas for setting up and xServe RAID

Everyone,
Here is what I would to do. I have a new xServe and 7TB RAID. I would like to set all of my end users up with Portable Home Directories. They all have laptops and I would like to use their PHD as my backup source. I would set them to sync in the background a couple of times per day and then write to tape at night.I have about 60 end users. I would also like to use the same xServe and RAID as my Kerio mail server and mail store. What I am looking for is some ideas of how to go about setting up the RAID. I was orginially thinking of setting up as one big RAID 5 using all 14 drives. What I would like to know is what is the number of drives that would need to fail that would render the RAID unrebuildable? I am now thinking about splitting the RAID into two 7 drives in RAID set up as RAID 1+0.
I am not sure if I phrased a lot of this currently, but here is quick recap of what I would like to know. What would be the best way to set up a 7TB RAID to store PHD and my Kerio mail store that provides me the most redudant and fastest acccess.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Daniel Krajc

Daniel,
I'd suggest a 6 disk RAID 5 plus a hot spare for each side. It will give you about 2.4 TB capacity per side (4.8 total), and it can tolerate 2 drive failures per side without losing data, provided there is sufficient time between failures for the RAID set to automatically rebuild on the hot spare. This window is 8-12 hours.
Note with Xserve RAID the two sides are totally independent in the data path -- it will look like 2 separate LUNs. If you want to combine these at the host level, as RAID 0 or RAID 1 to look like a single volume, you can. But the Xserve RAID will not combine them itself... the RAID controllers are independent... it might as well be two separate RAID volumes in the same chassis.
I assume you'll plug this into an Xserve that is serving as an Open Directory server and a file server?

I have a great idea for Mini's and or other Notebook's / Laptops.

I just bought an Hp Mini 210 and i love it but there are a few things that bother me.
When i am using my mini at night or in a car i cannot for the life of me see the letters i am pushing. tho i have the keyboard memorized in my head so i don't need to look at the keys to know that i am entering the right one at night the problems is i cannot see the out line of the keys and i can never see any of my key's letters numbers or function.
My solution is simple and would not draw anymore power from the battery.
what i am suggesting is that the keyboard keys on all MINI"S are Glow in the Dark. Like the stars that you buy for your rooms that you put on your ceiling. This would be simple to do. and also improve the night time use of your mini's or other 's. As i look at my keyboard now i see the white letters and numbers on the black buttons. if the white used to make the letters and or numbers and etc... were mixed with glow in the dark property's then you would have made the use of the Mini's ten times better. you could even add more. put borders around the keys just a small strip of white glow in the dark to define the keyboard.
If you implement this please offer me a free keyboard install of the glow. thanks

Ideas for improvements in and additional flexibility for the menu widget

Recently in the Muse help forum, I discussed in great detail some current limitations in the menu widget, along with some detailed suggestions for future features that would both solve these limitations and increase its flexibility. I hope the Muse team will take a moment to read through this discussion and consider these ideas: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6073318#6073318

Hi Chuck,
I just wanted to assure you that we on the development team have followed your thread. We have a long list of improvements we'd like to make to the menu widget. Most of the items you raised were already on our "to do" list. The one item I specifically added from your thread was the observation that it would be helpful to be able to set the alignment for the entire menu bar in order to control the direction the menubar grows/shrinks as top level pages are added/removed in Plan view. (The need for additional alignment/positioning controls for individual menu items and submenus was on the list.)
Thank you for your continued thoughts on how we can improve Muse. If you'd like more insight into upcoming changes, the Muse Private Beta Program is open to any active subscriber who can accept the terms of the Non-disclosure Agreement. You can join via the Help menu in Muse. (The program is currently dormant, as we're between releases, but it will become active again soon.)

Alternate idea for XMP storage and issue over RAW-JPG pairs.

Posted by me first in http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc35b1d/16
>DonRicklin - 3:25pm Mar 10, 07 PST (#16 of 17)
I'm think that maybe what needs to happen here is not necessarily having the JPEGs show in LR, but when they are present that they are used as the Sidecars to the RAWs for storing the Metadata for both, instead of having a third file, ie XMP sidecars.
Now for me, my camera does not produce both together, so LR would do the current XMP sidecars, but for others it would use the JPEGs instead, and update them for the preview. Also, if desired, by option show them in a stack with the RAWs. I think this would be much the best option for many that Adobe could provide.

hi all,
as a professional photojournalist i am with you rory. the fact that i can not import and store both RAW and JPEG at the same time and keep them side by side is really serious oversight on adobe's part. it makes LR all but unusable for me. as i said in my library hell post, i am on tight deadlines and don't have time to mess around. i need to keep and manage both kinds of files for work purposes.
camera manufactures have implemented the RAW/JEPG combo because the pros have demanded it. canon even allows the RAW and JPEG files to be stored on separate cards as a back up in case one card gets corrupted.
so, please alex, don't try to market this bug to me as a benefit because adobe has crossed the final frontier of image editing software and i just don't "get" their hip new idea. even a program as humble as iphoto keeps jpegs and raws together without issue. what is the point in having a library at all if images can not be stored and organized in a logical manner?? also, for those who wish to shoot only one format there is a very easy option - don't turn it on in the camera.
and don, i would be interested to hear more of your idea, though for me i would like to see all files treated equally be they JPEG, RAW. TIFF, PSD. at any rate i think it is really urgent for adobe to address this issue.
i would like to request that adobe implement the standard storge/organizational scheme with RAWs and JPEGs being imported simultaneously and stored side by side. further, i am requesting that any other file types of the same image also be stored side by side with the master image.

Nooooooooo! If corners are supposed to be round then square ones is'nt graceful gradation to me.

Need ideas for integrating BW and XI

Hi,
I am in the process of developing a proof of concept, where XI can be used to integrate BW, where data is fetched in from boh R/3 and non-SAP system.
Can anyone guide me regarding how this can be done.

Hi Balaji,
I've just completed a POC in this regard. It is not a straight forward HowTo process on the BW side, but on the XI side it is. There are a few documents in the HowTo section that discusses the process of linking XI to BW via a WebService and Proxy call. The same applies to R/3.
In BW though there is alot to be done to ensure the end-to-end process is OK. In which area will you be focussing so that i will be able to give you the right documentation...

OIM with EBS HR for recon and UM for provisioning - urgent

Hi All
I am trying to setup OIM with EBS HR mod as the trusted source and EBS User mod for user provisioning. I am using the OOB EBS connector version 90430 with OIM 9.1.0.1. I have configured the reconcialiation and provisioning as per the oracle documentation. But only few of the parameters are reconciled into the OIM->USR table. When I go to Reconciliation Manager, I can see only few data fields in the processed data region and rest are in the unprocessed data region. The recon engine is able to pick up the corresponding values from the HR system but is not able to process the same.
Please let me know where can be the problem reside.
Also when I provision a record into Oracle EBS User mod, even if I give all the required data in the direct provisioning form, an account is created in the EBS system with partial data e.g. email is not getting provisioned.
Please help me in setting up recon and provisioning in OIM - EBS.
This is really urgent.. please help !!!
Thanks

The standard suggestion for that is:
- What's the reeson for using EBIZ connector version *9043*. That's an older version and may be these things which you are referring to could not be part of that connector.
- Use the ORCL_EBS_UM_91000 and ORCL_EBS_ER_91000. You can download it from OTN. This should resolve the outstanding issues for you.
Thanks
Sunny
