Industry standard for alloting Flash Development time

Does anyone the industry standard for the time it takes for
Flash development in general. In other words, How much developement
time does it take to do one minute of flash animation. For example,
with video and motion graphics, it's one hour of editing time to
accomplish one minute of edited video.
Is there a similiar industry standard for Flash development?
Obviously, there are variations in the how robust the
animations are, how interactive they are, and how complicated the
code is...but I'm really just looking for a general rule of thumb
for professional Flash developement..
Anyone know?... or know a good place to find this
info?

I appreciate your willingness to respond but I find it hard
to belive that a standard does not exist. As a multimedia developer
at a high profile corporation, I have been asked for this
information....and I gurantee that if I have been asked....others
at large companies have been asked also.
can anyone that works in the industry share their own
guidelines based on personal experience? I have my own SWAG for the
amount of time it takes indivdualy for custom animations,
interactivies, and games...but would like to compare that to other
estimates.
Maybe it's better to ask for a Multimedia developemnt
standard instead of a Flash development standard.

Industry standard for database backup time

We have many databases in our company for which our Database backups are forced to be run by System Administrators at 3PM since their tape backups are starting from 4PM.
As a DBA I am suggesting to run all the tape backups late night so that I can schedule my Database bacukps at atleast 10PM daily.
What is the industry standard for running daily database backups time? Can somebody please provide some links for such standards from a authorising body like Gartner, etc?
Thanks in advance.

There is no such standard. To have one would be simply implausible.
It would depend massively on your infrastructure and where you take backups to. If it's tape, how fast is your networking to the tape, how fast is your tape drive. If it's disk, how fast is the disk you're backing it up to. For both, it depends on the size of the database, what type of backup you're taking and how loaded your database is, how fast your servers are. There are too many variables.
Only you will know how fast your backups take and whether they're taking longer than they should (based on your observations on how long they usually take).

Industry standard for packaging midlets?

I am somewhat new to Midlets and have created some basic midlet's but I am wondering what the traditional way of shipping out a midlet would be?
Should I merely stick it all in a jar/jad?
Or is there some other technique that might include a JVM (such as IBM J9)? Is there some kind of Industry standard for this?

Industry Standards for the Retail Industry

I want to know " SAP recommends which of these Industry Standards for the Retail Industry?
1.GS1
2.ANSI ASC X12
3.eCOM
4.GSMP
5.EPCglobal
6.GDSN
7.GCI
8.VICS

SAP has avoided making any recommendations. I specifically asked one of their architects a similar question a couple of weeks ago.
In general the X12 and EDIFACT standards are king within the retail industry. Within the United States X12 has been the default standard for many years and is used by all the giants. Within the European Union EDIFACT is the default standard and is used by the vast majority of retailers. However the UK has a standard which is called Tradacoms. In my experience UK retailers have, when pushed, also offered EDIFACT messaging. It should be noted that these formats are not XML. However many XML convertors exist for them. X12, EDIFACT and Tradacoms are what are commonly referred to as Traditional EDI.
The GS1 standard called eCOM is being increasingly adopted. I do know that Accenture and CapGemini have recently been heavily involved in promoting GS1 and eCOM. This is because eCOM standard is realistically the most heavily backed replacement for the Traditional EDI standards. The several of the largest US and European retailers and manufactures are now throwing their weight behind eCOM.

Good tutorial book for non-flash developer?

I need to learn flex for our company. I am a .NET developer
although I have used Flex 1.0 before and was doing well with it. I
am by no means a flash developer, so I'm looking for a good
beginner to intermediate book for someone who is looking more at
flex application development rather than design.
I need a book that focuses more on database/XML/webservice
integration and not something that focuses SOLEY on rich GUI's.
Yes, I would like for the book to focus also on design, but not
have that purely be the focus.
What do you all recommend? Thanks!
Ryan

I found the book Adobe Fex 2 Training from the Source VERY
helpful. I read and did everything and am also finding it useful as
a reference. One reason I liked it is that it takes you through an
appliation step by step refining the application over time as you
"discover" more succinct/efficient ways to do things (e.g. making
components and a more reusable design). It takes you through
multiple ways to get at server stuff too. I also highly recommend
reading the Cairngorm articles posted on Adobe's website to help
you get off on the right foot using good design principles for
Flex.
P.S. I am very much a newbie myself and am still climbing the
learning curve.

What is the industry standard for body copy text size?

11pt? Using a brochure for an example. I know it depends on the font but if we were going just standard what would the recommendation be?
Also include a too small reference as well. Thanks!

I don't think there would be an "industry standard."
As an example, I work at a large advertising company with hundreds of employees. Body copy must be 10-point or larger; this has been set by the man in charge. If you want to make it smaller, he has to approve it. The reasoning being that if the dimensions of the piece are that small, the copy should just be rewritten. That said, the type size can be changed smaller if the font used is still legible enough.
And small type? For "legal" text, the lawyers have said it can be any size. Just by being there it's meeting legal requirements.

Industry Standard for Adobe LiveCycle Users/Groups on AIX environments.

I wanted to know if there is an industry standard in creating users/groups for Adobe LiveCycle in *NIX environments.
What’s the usual set of users/groups created in most of the Installations.

Industry standard for CoS value mapped to DSCP EF?

Hey,
I was looking for some documents configuring HP switches to work with cisco phones and running QoS. I found somehow other vendors (HP and Juniper) are by defualt mapping DSCP 46 or EF to CoS 6. My memory servers that Cisco mapps EF or DSCP 46 to CoS 5.
I know the DSCP-COS mapping can be modified but which one is the standard really?
/S

If you looking for some industry standard documentation on QOS marking then you can refer IEEE 802.1P.. It is a mechanism for implementing QoS at the MAC level..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_P802.1p
But since you are working with Cisco Phones, they will mark RTP traffic at layer 2 (COS=5).. so i think you should configure your HP switch with cos value 5 for RTP traffic.. Hope this helps..

Industry standard for CNC script?

Dear All,
Is there some kind of industry standard on "CNC-type motion control script".
Basically, the user script will be lines of text
Each line is OP-CODE Parameter0 Parameter1 ...
Like MOVE_TO 123.45 345.67
and our software will parse the text and generate the corresponding command for the NI motion controller card.
e.g. the user-entered parameter 123.45mm will be converted to number of pulses.
Some poster mentioned G-Code, what is that?

Hey John_,
I would recommend that you check out the following discussion forum posts:
- How to use CNC G-CODES and M-CODES in LabVIEW
- Has anybody used motion control card like a CNC contol with G-codes with part program editor?
- can you send me the gcode interpretor for the pci-7334,7344.. thanks
These are just a few threads that discuss what you are asking about, but there are a few more out there if you do a search on "CNC Motion"
I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Industry Standard TIME for database daily backup?

What is the industry standard for running daily database backups time? Can somebody please provide some links for such standards from a authorising body like Gartner, etc?
Thanks in advance.

There is no standard time as this depends on many factors (business working hours, scheduled concurrent programs, activities on the system, whether you have global offices with different timings, ..etc). For most companies, I believe the best time to take a backup is when there are less activity on the system (which is usually late at night).
The question is, what type of backup you do? If it is an offline backup, and you are not affected by any of the above factors, then you should be OK to run it whenever it is suitable for you. If you use an online backup, you could simply keep the application/database running and take a backup.
Thanks,
Hussein

Industry Standard documentation for Technical Information related to Netweaver Portals

Hi.
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I want to create documentation related to our Netweaver Portals, but I want the documentation to be based on Industry Standards related to Netweaver Portals.
Information which I will include in this document, will include the following, but not limited to:
Naming Conventions
Folder Logic
Roles (How to create and use them)
Pages
Worksets
iViews
etc..
Does someone know of a template which I can use and alter to fit my requirements?

Hi Juandre,
There is not such template called Industry standard for NW portals.
Each firm have there own format and contents required by them .Objective of such documentation is to cover all the data points which can enable Technical support to provide necessary support for Portal environments.
Normally we include System landscape, URL details, OS details, Hardware details, DB details, SAP Portal technical details like version and patch level.
Business point of contacts,
SOP to start and stop systems
Known problems and resolutions
You may work out template based on above inputs.
Hope this helps.

Is there a industry standard studio monitor in 2009?

Hey, just wondering what monitors you guys use with your studio setup. Is there an actual industry standard monitor in 2009. I remember Yamaha and Mackie held the title at one point. For you guys that work and go into pro studios what are people using?
Thanks

There is no "industry standard" but there are several brands that you'll see over and over in the best studios.
Yamaha has NEVER been an industry standard for monitors, but the NS10s were an industry standard for "if it sounds good on these crappy speakers it will sound good anywhere."
I'm using JBL 4328. They list for $1700/pair. Genelec 8030A list for the same. You can't go wrong with either of those as they are found in professional studios worldwide. Those are both self-powered.
Then there are Westlake monitors, which are in major studios. And there's Blue Sky and ADAM.
It depends on your budget. If you spend $1300 - $1700 you can get monitors that any professional engineer would be happy with. For the stuff <$1,000, the lower priced Genelecs are good. Very accurate.
You can spend >$3,000 on a pair if you want. But I'd rather spend $1700 for monitors and another $1500 on room treatment than buy a $3200 pair of monitors for an untreated room. Makes a huge difference.
And if you do a lot of dance or club music or hip-hop, you might want a subwoofer. But if your room isn't treated, the subwoofer will only make your mixes worse.
Whatever you do, go to the store and listen to the monitors with a CD you know well. And most stores will let you take monitors back and exchange them if they don't work out in your room.
Have fun.

Industry standard Bugs

Dear All,
Is there any industry standard for bugs trend in our SAP software per month/year ? I know this varies from company to company and it depends on various factors but still I would like to know your view ?
We will get average 20 abap tickets per month and what about your company ? what is overall sap bugs ?
Thanks,
Vinay.

As you anticipated, one can only answer that "it depends".. on the size of your user base, their expertise, the SAP modules you are using, the release you are on, which countries you operate in, what issues you classify as a 'bug'....
You might just as well ask, how much tea & coffee does your company consume?
The answers you get will be just as (ir)relevant. Sorry.
cheers
Paul
