Latest best practice for folio renditions

Hi!
I released my first folio last year (http://www.psaltiki.org/journal/) and added renditions.
With the release of CS6 I can see in inDesign how there seem to be some special tools for preparing documents in multiple formats.
My question is if there is some documentation out explaining the best practice for preparing and uploading redintions of a folio that I could review before beginning the layout of my second folio?
Thanks!

Best practice for exporting a dps folio so a third party can work on it?

Hi All,
Keen for some thoughts on the best practice for exporting a dps folio, indd files, links and all, so a third party can carry on the work. Is their a better alternative to packaging each individual indd file and sharing the folio through adobe?
I know there have been similar questions here in the past, but the last (that i've found) was updated mid 2011 and I was wondering if their have been any improvements to this seemingly backwards workflow since then.
Thanks in advance!

Nothing better than packaging them and using Dropbox to share. I caution you
on one thing as far as packaging:

Kernel: PANIC! -- best practice for backup and recovery when modifying system?

I installed NVidia drivers on my OL6.6 system at home and something went bad with one of the libraries. On reboot, the kernel would panic and I couldn't get back into the system to fix anything. I ended up re-installing the OS to recovery my system.
What would be some best practices for backing up the system when making a change and then recovering if this happens again?
Would LVM snapshots be a good option? Can I recovery a snapshot from a rescue boot?
EX: File system snapshots with LVM | Ars Technica -- scroll down to the section discussing LVM.
Any pointers to documentation would be welcome as well. I'm just not sure what to do to revert the kernel or the system when installing something goes bad like this.
Thanks for your attention.

There is often a common misconception: A snapshot is not a backup. A snapshot and the original it was taken from initially share the same data blocks. LVM snapshot is a general purpose solution which can be used, for example, to quickly create a snapshot prior to a system upgrade, then if you are satisfied with the result, you would delete the snapshot.
The advantage of a snapshot is that it can be used for a live filesystem or volume while changes are written to the snapshot volume. Hence it's called "copy on write (COW), or copy on change if you want. This is necessary for system integrity to have a consistent data status of all data at a certain point in time and to allow changes happening, for example to perform a filesystem backup. A snapshot is no substitute for a disaster recovery in case you loose your storage media. A snapshot only takes seconds, and initially does not copy or backup any data, unless data changes. It is therefore important to delete the snapshot if no longer required, in order to prevent duplication of data and restore file system performance.
LVM was never a great thing under Linux and can cause serious I/O performance bottlenecks. If snapshot or COW technology suits your purpose, I suggest you look into Btrfs, which is a modern filesystem built into the latest Oracle UEK kernel. Btrfs employs the idea of subvolumes and is much more efficient that LVM because it can operate on files or directories while LVM is doing the whole logical volume.
Keep in mind however, you cannot use LVM or Btrfs with the boot partition, because the Grub boot loader, which loads the Linux kernel, cannot deal with LVM or BTRFS before loading the Linux kernel (catch22).
I think the following is an interesting and fun to read introduction explaining basic concepts:

Best practice for releases/iterations

I'm working with scenario 2+. I read all the tutorials and articles about JDI and branches (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?
blog=/pub/wlg/2408) but I couldnt find the answer about how to approach small versions and releases. Working with JDI, what is the best practice for small versions and for releases? Should I create a new track/branch for each release (1.0, 2.0) ? What should I do for iterations/small versions (1.1, 1.2, 2.1)? Could you tag a group of DCs so then you could return to that tagged version?
Thanks a lot for your reply!

Hi Deborah,
how you deal with SCs, SC versions and tracks depends on your use case.
If you are doing in-house-development there is often no need to maintain other than the last release. So you can work with one SC version and one track. But you can also work with several SC versions and tracks. This enables you to come back to a former release (or version) if you made some critical errors.
If you write software for different customers you always have to create a new SC version (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, ...) and then a new track if you implement new features. Your old releases have to be maintained. So you have to have a track as a basis for maintance.
If you say 'My customers always get the latest release even if they did not pay for the new features' you can of course work with a lower amount of SC versions and tracks.
The answer to your question 'Could you tag a group of DCs...' is: NO.
You have to create a new SC version and a new track.
There may also be other approaches but I hope this helps a bit.

Helmut

Best practice for getting all Activities for a Contact

Hello,
I am new to the Eloqua API and am wondering what is the best practice for downloading a list of all activities for a given contact.
Thanks

Hi Mike,
For activities in general, Bulk 2.0 Activity Exports will be the best way to go. Docs are here: http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/marketingcs_gs/OMCBB/index.html
But it can be a complex process to wrap your head around if you're new to the Eloqua API. So if you're in a pinch and don't care about the association of those activities to campaigns, and only need to pull activities for a few contacts, you can resort to using REST API calls.
The activity calls are visible (from Firebug or Chrome console) if you open any contact record and navigate to the "Activity Log" tab. If you have it set to all activities, it will fire off a dozen or more calls or you can choose an individual one from the picklist to inspect that call in more detail.
Best regards,
Bojan

What is best practice for installing Yosemite

I am currently on OS X Mavericks version 10.9.5 Macbook pro 13. 2.6 ghz intel for i5, 8gb 1600 mhz ddr3.
I am now downloading yosemite 10.10.1 but since i've been reading all these negative feedback so far, i am having second thoughts if i should continue to install the upgrade or not.
Any suggestion What is best practice for installing Yosemite? Or is it not yet time to upgrade since the platform is premature yet?
Thanks in advance.

Check your apps are compatible with 10.10 - roaringapps.com
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck can show what is running & installed - look for updates on the developer own sites.
If you have many kernel extensions or startup items look for updates to them too
Take a full bootable backup to another disk via Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper! or Disk Utility
Disconnect the backup before you begin any install (ideally set it aside & leave it untouched incase you need to go back to 10.9)
Personally I prefer a clean install when there are signs of multiple migrations (if you have upgraded several OS for a period of years). Setup Assistant/ Migration Assistant can import user data from a backup, but consider that Apps & 'other data' should be manually reinstalled from the latest versions.
If you clean install (erase the HD before installation) then make sure you deauthorise iTunes & any other apps that are associated online (like find my Mac).

Best practices for updating agents

We're getting ready to do our first system-wide update of agents to fix a critical bug. Our summer vacation is just ending, and teachers and students will be coming back very soon and turning on our Windows 7 computers for the first time in many weeks, although they won't all be turned on the same day. When they are turned on they will be attempting to get various updates, in particular Windows updates, but also Flash Player and Adobe Reader. I need to update the agents as quickly as possible, but I'm concerned about the possibility of the agent update conflicting with another update, especially Windows updates. Isn't it possible that Windows Update could restart a computer while the agent update is happening (or the other way around), leaving the machine in an unstable or unusable state? What are the best practices for dealing with this? I considered the possibility of deploying the agent to a dynamic workstation group whose members all have a certain file or files that indicate that they have already received the latest Windows updates. However, I can't see how to create a dynamic group based on such criteria.
So far I have only updated a few devices at a time using "Deploy System Updates to Selected Devices in the Management Zone". When those updates are done I cancel that deployment because that's the only option I can find that does anything. If you can offer general advice for a better strategy of updating agents I'd appreciate that. Specifically, how would you push an agent update to several hundred computers that will be turned on sometime over the next two weeks?
Thanks very much.

To be honest, you have to work around your other deploys, etc. The ZCM agent isn't "aware" of other deploys going on. For example, ZPM doesn't care that you're doing Bundles at the same time (you'll get errors in the logs about the fact that only one MSI can run at a time, for example). ZPM usually recovers and picks up where it left off.
Bundles on the other hand, with System Update, are not so forgiving. Especially if you have the agents prior to 11.2.4 MU1 (cache corruption errors).
We usually:
a) Halt all software rollouts/patching as best we can
b) Our software deploys (bundles) are on event: user login Typically the system update is on Device Refresh, OR scheduled time, and are device associated.
IF possible, I'd suggest that you use WOL, system update and voila.
Or, if no WOL available, then tell your users to leave their pc turned on (doesn't have to be logged in), on X night, and setup your system updates for that night, with the auto-reboot enabled. That worked well
But otherwise the 3 components of ZCM (Bundles, ZPM, System Update) don't know/care about each other, AFAIK.

Best practices for image compression in dps

Hi! I have been reading up on best practices for image compression in dps, and I have read that the source assets of panoramas, image sequences, pan and zoom images, and audio skins are not resampled on upload. So you therefore need to resize them and compress them before dropping them into your article, because dps doesn't do it for you. Okay can do!
So then Im also reading that the source assets of slideshows, scrollable frames, and buttons ARE resampled as PNG images. Does this mean that DPS will compress them for you when you build the article? So does that mean I shouldn't bother going to the trouble of resizing these images at all? I can just pop in the 15mb 300dpi files used in the print magazine and dps will compress them upon building the article - and this will have no affect on file size?
And this is also the case with static background images?
Thanks for your help!

All images are automatically resampled based on the size of the folio you make. You can drop in whatever resolution image you want, it doesn't matter.

Best practices for setting up users on a small office network?

Hello,
I am setting up a small office and am wondering what the best practices/steps are to setup/manage the admin, user logins and sharing privileges for the below setup:
Users: 5 users on new iMacs (x3) and upgraded G4s (x2)
Video Editing Suite: Want to connect a new iMac and a Mac Pro, on an open login (multiple users)
All machines are to be able to connect to the network, peripherals and external hard drive. Also, I would like to setup drop boxes as well to easily share files between the computers (I was thinking of using the external harddrive for this).
Thank you,

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.

Best-practice for Catalog Views ? :|

Hello community,
A best practice question:
The situtation: I have several product categories (110), several items in those categories (4000) and 300 end-users. I would like to know which is the best practice for segment the catalog. I mean, some users should only see categories 10,20 & 30. Other users only category 80, etc. The problem is how can I implement this ?
My first idea is:
1. Create 110 Procurement Catalogs (1 for every prod.category). Each catalog should contain only its product category.
2. Assign in my Org Model, in a user-level all the "catalogs" that the user should access.
Do you have any idea in order to improve this ?
Saludos desde Mexico,
Diego

Hi,
Your way of doing will work, but you'll get maintenance issues (to many catalogs, and catalog link to maintain for each user).
The other way is to built your views in CCM, and assign these views to the users, either on the roles (PFCG) or on the user (SU01). The problem is that with CCM 1.0 this is limitated, cause you'll have to assign one by one the items to each view (no dynamic or mass processes), it has been enhanced in CCM 2.0.
My advice:
-Challenge your customer about views, and try to limit the number of views, with for example strategic and non strategic
-With CCM 1.0 stick to the procurement catalogs, or implement BADIs to assign items to the views (I experienced it, it works, but is quite difficult), but with a limitated number of views
Good luck.

Best Practice for Securing Web Services in the BPEL Workflow

What is the best practice for securing web services which are part of a larger service (a business process) and are defined through BPEL?
They are all deployed on the same oracle application server.
Defining agent for each?
Gateway for all?
BPEL security extension?
The top level service that is defined as business process is secure itself through OWSM and username and passwords, but what is the best practice for security establishment for each low level services?
Regards
Farbod

It doesnt matter whether the service is invoked as part of your larger process or not, if it is performing any business critical operation then it should be secured.
The idea of SOA / designing services is to have the services available so that it can be orchestrated as part of any other business process.
Today you may have secured your parent services and tomorrow you could come up with a new service which may use one of the existing lower level services.
If all the services are in one Application server you can make the configuration/development environment lot easier by securing them using the Gateway.
Typical probelm with any gateway architecture is that the service is available without any security enforcement when accessed directly.
You can enforce rules at your network layer to allow access to the App server only from Gateway.
When you have the liberty to use OWSM or any other WS-Security products, i would stay away from any extensions. Two things to consider
The next BPEL developer in your project may not be aware of Security extensions
Centralizing Security enforcement will make your development and security operations as loosely coupled and addresses scalability.

Best practice for multi-language content in common areas

I've got a site with some text in header/footer/nav that needs to be translated between an English and Spanish site, which use the same design. My intention was to set up all the text as content to facilitate. However, if I use a standard dialog with the component's path set to a child of the current page node, I would need to re-enter the text on every page. If I use a design dialog, or a standard dialog with the component's path set absolutely, the Engilsh and Spanish sites will share the same text. If I use a standard dialog with the component's path set relatively (eg path="../../jcr:content/myPath"), the pages using the component would all need to be at the same level of the hierarchy.
It appears that the Geometrixx demo doesn't address this situation, and leaves copy in English. Is there a best practice for this scenario?

I'm finding that something to the effect of <cq:include path="<%= strCommonContentPath + "codeEntry" %>" resourceType ...
works fine for most components, but not for parsys, or a component containing a parsys. When I attempt that, I get a JS error that says "design.path is null or not an object". Is there a way around this?

Best practices for ARM - please help!!!

Hi all,
Can you please help with any pointers / links to documents describing best practices for "who should be creating" the GRC request in below workflow of ARM in GRC 10.0??
Create GRC request -> role approver -> risk manager -> security team
options are : end user / Manager / Functional super users / security team.
End user and manager not possible- we can not train so many people. Functional team is refusing since its a lot of work. Please help me with pointers to any best practices documents.
Thanks!!!!

In this case, I recommend proposing that the department managers create GRC Access Requests. In order for the managers to comprehend the new process, you should create a separate "Role Catalog" that describes what abilities each role enables. This Role Catalog needs to be taught to the department Managers, and they need to fully understand what tcodes and abilities are inside of each role. From your workflow design, it looks like Role Owners should be brought into these workshops.
You might consider a Role Catalog that the manager could filter on and make selections from. For example, an AP manager could select "Accounts Payable" roles, and then choose from a smaller list of AP-related roles. You could map business functions or tasks to specific technical roles. The design flaw here, of course, is the way your technical roles have been designed.
The point being, GRC AC 10 is not business-user friendly, so using an intuitive "Role Catalog" really helps the managers understand which technical roles they should be selecting in GRC ARs. They can use this catalog to spit out a list of technical role names that they can then search for within the GRC Access Request.
At all costs, avoid having end-users create ARs. They usually select the wrong access, and the process then becomes very long and drawn out because the role owners or security stages need to mix and match the access after the fact. You should choose a Requestor who has the highest chance of requesting the correct access. This is usually the user's Manager, but you need to propose this solution in a way that won't scare off the manager - at the end of the day, they do NOT want to take on more work.
If you are using SAP HR, then you can attempt HR Triggers for New User Access Requests, which automatically fill out and submit the GRC AR upon a specific HR action (New Hire, or Termination). I do not recommend going down this path, however. It is very confusing, time consuming, and difficult to integrate properly.
Good luck!
-Ken
