Is there a Mac OS X manual/best practice/performance enhancement guide?

Hi
I just got all Mac'ed up and am pretty new to it. I've been a PC looser for ages, but at least I knew what I was doing with it! Although my Mac is super fast and efficient now, I am paranoid that, like all the PC's I've ever owned, this "new car smell" state will not last for ever, unless some maintenance is kept up. Is there any kind of manual or maybe a website out there that can tell me about best practice with Macs. Stuff like keeping the registry clean (like on a PC), the best way to remove applications (entirely!), managing memory for best performance, etc. I'd also like to know about stuff like how using non-Apple made/brand applications effects the integrity of the system. Basically just find out how Mac software works and how best to use it.
Thanks in advance.

Best Practice for enhancing the SAP delivered standard WD ABAP application

Hi,
I am new to WebDypro ABAP.
To enhance the SAP delivered Standard WebDynpro Component (complex component with Business objects & powl).
Kindly let me know the best practice for enhancing the Standard WD ABAP from the below 1 or 2.
1) To copy & create a "Z" of the component & make changes in that (or)
2) to enhance directly on the same standard component without making "Z".
Regards,
NS

Hi NS,
If it is a standard component its better we go for enhancing the component rather than copying it into Z component.
If there is any issue with in the standard component , SAP supports it through notes and OSS messages. If it is a Z component, SAP doesn't support it.
If there is any up gradation of business packages, changes will be done to standard , but not the Z components, wherein we could miss it.
Further, since it is a standard component it might have been used at many places, changes that has to done to reflect all changes might be difficult in this case if it is a z component.

IronPort best practices and configuration guide

Hi there,
I manage a Cisco IronPort ESA appliance for my organisation and made a quick blog post last night about things I thought should be a best practice for a new ESA appliance.
The reason I wrote this is because some of these things are not configured from the start or are configured poorly by default.
Take a look and let me know what you think - I plan to make a part 2 because there are some things I did not have time to go through and it was quite long already!
Remember that your environment will be different from mine so you should understand the things I say before blindly implementing them!
http://emtunc.org/blog/06/2014/cisco-ironport-e-mail-security-appliance-best-practices-part-1/

First of all, I think your question is related to the WebCenter (Framework) as such, not just OUCSS.
As for JDev. vs. run-time, this question is well discussed in Yannick Ongena's tutorial: http://www.yonaweb.be/webcenter_tutorial/part1_configure_webcenter_portal_application
"Let me first talk a bit about the architecture of WebCenter and the runtime customizations. ADF (and WebCenter) has an additional component since 11g called the MDS (MetaDataServices). The MDS is a repository that stores all the customizations. The page we just created at runtime is not stored in the project folder of JDeveloper but is instead stored in the MDS."
I guess the answer when to use which methods depends on the situation what page you want to create.
I am surprised, however, that you state that
Pages created in JDeveloper are not searchable online. It is possible to link it to a Navigation Model but the path needs to be manually entered.Could you elaborate on your use case?
As for navigation models, you can check another tutorial: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_navigation.htm#BABJHFCE
Maybe, what your are looking for is the way how to create a navigation model according to your needs?

Archiving Best Practices / How To Guide for Oracle 10g - need urgently

Hi,
I apologize if this is a silly question. But i need a step by step archiving guide for Oracle 10g and cannot find any reference document. I am in a rather remote part of S.E. Asia & can't seem to find DBA's with the requisite experience to do the job properly. I have had 1 database lock up this week at a big telecoms provider and another one at a major bank is about to go. I can easily add LUNS & re-structure mirrors etc at the Unix level [ i am a Unix engineer ]
but i know that is not the long run solution. I am sure the 2 databases i am concerned about have never been archived properly.
This is the sort of thing DBA's must do all the time. Can someone point me to the proper documentation so i can do a proper job and archive a few years data out of these databases. I do not want to do a hack job. At least i can clone the databases and practise on the clones first before i actually do production.
-thanks very much

I'm not so sure this is a general database question, as it would be specific to an application and implementation, and as the technology has changed, the database options to support it has too.
So for example, if you have bought the partitioning option, there may be some sensible procedure for partitioning off older data.
Things may depend on whether you are talking about an OLTP, a DW, a DSS, or mixed systems.
DBA's do it all the time because the requirements are different everywhere. Simply deleting a lot of data after copying the old data to another table (as some older systems do) may just wind up giving you performance problems scanning swiss-cheesed data.
Some places may not archive at all, if they've separated out OLTP from reporting. If all the OLTP stuff is accessed through indices, all the older stuff just sits there. The reporting DB may only have what is needed to be reported on, or be on a standby db where range scans are sufficient to ignore old data. There there's exadata, which has it's own strengths.
Best Practices have to be on similar enough systems, otherwise they are a self-contradiction.
Get yourself someone who understands your requirements and can evaluate the actual problem. No apology needed, it is not a silly question. But what is silly is assuming what the problem is with no evidence.

Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services?

Hi all;
I was talking with a Sql Server expert today and learned that Azure Sql Server can take up to a minute to respond to a query that normally takes a fraction of a second. This is one of those things where it's really valuable to learn it when architecting as
opposed to when we go live.
Cloud Services are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services? If so, what are they?
We will be placing the cloud services in multiple datacenters and using traffic manager to point people to the right one. The cloud service will set between an IMAP client & server, pretending to be the mail client to the server, and the server to the client.
Mostly it will pass all requests & responses across from one to the other.
thanks - dave

hi dave,
>>Cloud Services are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services? If so, what are they?
For this issue, I have collected some blogs and document about best practices for azure cloud service, you can view them, but I am not sure they are your need.

For your scenarioes, If you'd like to communicate with each instances, I recommend you refer to this document (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh180158.aspx ). And generally, if we want connect the client to server on Azure, the service bus is a good choice (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-multi-tier-app-using-service-bus-queues/

Are there best practices or guidelines for CP 8 quizzes via Connect?

I'd like to add quizzes and feedback forms to Adobe Connect meetings and events (no learning module) and before investing time to explore how to best do this, wondered if there are guidelines, hint/tips, or best practices out there?
If the meeting has multiple folks, would they each be on their own quiz? how and where do the results appear? Is it possible without the connect learning module ?
I've also run across EduGameCloud and not sure if that would be a viable alternative or not - any experience?

Hi There,

What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

It depends on a various factors. There is no "generic" solution or best practice recommendation. Which migration tool are you planning to use?
Quest (QMM) has a VPN migration solution/tool.
ADMT - you can develop your own service based solution if required. I believe it was mentioned in my blog post.

Hi,
You have a good start. What you need to do is 1.) Find out what the requirements are -- what does your user want.... if this is a fact finding mission (e.g., they want to see what's in the system) then your requirement becomes load the data in R/3, so figure out what they configured in PM and use those definitions as your requirements.   2.) Use those requirements to find data in the fields listed in the MultiProvider, InfoCubes, or DataStore Objects sections in your first link ... in other words, now that you know what data to look for, look for it in the Data Targets (MP's, Cubes and DSO's). If you find some of the data you want, then trace back the infosources and determine what datasources in R/3 load the data you are looking for. After all that, check those datasources for any additional fields you may need and add them in.
So, if your company doesn't maintain equipment costs or maintenance costs for equipment, then you don't have to worry about 0PM_MP04. Use this type of logic to whittle down to what your really need and want, then activate those object only.
Good Luck,
Brian

Seaching for Best Practice links that work

Hi,
past few years I have been able to access SAP Best Practices documents like SAP Best Practices SAP Best Practices for CP and Wholesale Industries
(this one still works and guides me to the building block and process overview documents!).
Recently any link I can find to SAP Industry or Baseline Best Practices ends up with a dead link. See for example trying to get from here SAP Best Practices Baseline packages – SAP Help Portal Page
to Localized for Netherlands V1.607 SAP Best Practices package further below on that page, results in screen shot attached. I have seen that in many more examples (different countries, or in Industry Best Practice Packages instead of Country Baseline packages....)
Does any know whether and how SAP redesigned their access to Best Practices documents (Configuration Guides, eCatts, Scenario Process Overviews etc.?
Thanks for your reply.
Thijs

Hi, Thijs,
There is currently a problem with Best Practices on the Help Portal. On the home page of the portal (http://help.sap.com/) there is a message that reads "Stay Tuned - There are temporary problems when accessing some content types, for example PDF documents or Best Practices. We are working on a solution."
Our Wholesale Distribution industry group does not manage the Help Portal pages, so, unfortunately, I don't know the status of the problem or when it might be resolved.

Best Practice to Integrate CER with RedSky E911 Anywhere via SIP Trunk

We are trying to integrate CER 9 with RedSky for V911 using a SIP trunk and need assistance with best practice and configuration. There is very little documentation regarding "best practice" for routing these calls to RedSky. This trunk will be handling the majority of our geographically dispersed company's 911 calls.
My question is: should we use an IPsec tunnel for this? The only reference I found was this: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/enterprise-networks/virtual-office/deployment_guide_c07-636876.htmlm which recommends an IPsec tunnel for the SIP trunk to Intrado. I would think there are issues with an unsecure SIP trunk for 911 calls. Looking for advice or specifics on how to configure this. Does the SIP trunk require a CUBE or is a CUBE only required for the IPsec tunnel?
Any insight is appreciated.
Thank you.

you can use Session Trace in RTMT to check who is disconnecting the call and why.

Best practice for Documenting SOA Composites

Hi,
I am looking for any general guideline or best practice to create documentation for composites developed as part of a project.
Are there any plugins which help export in Visio or other tool?
I don't see a create JPEG button on composite editor similar to BPEL, so any suggestions for documentating that?
In general, i would like to take your opinions/suggestions to adapt a process for a better documentation.
Thanks.

Hi,
As such there is no such guidelines or best practices which are followed for documentation.
You may plug in your source control system with Jdeveloper but it will help during the coding process.
We have used OER in our project for maintaining documentations and the relationships among different files (be it xsd's, wsdls, bpels, mediator , etc)
Thanks

Best practice for implementing a scalable ecommerce solution

Hi,
I'm new to SAP Business One, is there a white paper on the best practice of implementing a scalable ecommerce solution with SAP Business One using IIS/ASP.NET? What licensing and software(version)is need to implement a scalable ecommerce solution. How to integrate with trade partners via BizTalk server? Any help on these topics would be most helpful. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Viet

There already is a very robust ecommerce package certified by SAP that runs on ASP.Net and integrates into Business One. It is called NetPoint Commerce and it is made by Praxis Software Solutions. http://www.praxissoft.net you can see a working B2C site of it at http://www.yakpak.com and it also has robust B2B functionality you can email [email protected] for a demo. The cost is only a little more than it would cost to cover all appropiate licenses with SAP (included in the NetPoint cost) plus it works with SBO 6.5 and SBO 2004 and the DI Server is only available with SBO 2004

Is there a Mac OS X manual/best practice/performance enhancement guide?
