Look & Feel Best Practices and skeleton issue

Hello,
here are my 2 questions :
- what is the best way to create a custom look and feel ? Is it to duplicate the bighorn look and feel (.laf + skin + skeleton) ?
- I want to customize the help button behaviour and add a javascript function on the onclick event. I have found that the help button is generated by the abstractbutton.jsp. The line
<skeleton:control name="a" presentationContext="${abstractbuttonpc}" href="${param.href}" onclick="${param.onclick}">
makes me think that an onclick event can be set. But I don't know how to set this 'param.onclick'.
Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas
1. YES, use Bighorn as template to create your own Custom Look and Feel. Do not use any old look and feels like Default, Classic etc in WLP 10.3.1. Because the latest Releast WLP 10.3.2 uses only Bighorn based look and feels.
2. Do not copy all the files from Bighorn look and feel. Refer the bottom Thread for details on creating custom look and feel and modify only files that you want. Say you want to modify header or footer or just portlet titlebars etc. So to modify header or footer, in your custom look and feel skeletons folder, you modify code in only head.jsp or header.jsp. For example changing portlet titlebar or background etc, you modify css elements in custom.css file.
Heres the thread that has some useful information and linke: Creating Header and Footers in Weblogic Portal 10

Coherence Best Practices and Performance

I'm starting to use coherence and I'd to know if someone could point me out some doc on Best Practices and Performance optimizations when using it.
BTW, I haven't had the time to go through the entire Oracle documentation.
Regards

Hi
If you are new to Coherence (or even for people who are not that new) one of the best things you can do is read this book http://www.packtpub.com/oracle-coherence-35/book I know it says Coherence 3.5 and we are currently on 3.7 but it is still very relevant.
You don't need to go through all the documentation but at least try the introductions and try out some of the examples. You need to know the basics otherwise it makes it harder for people to either understand what you want or give you detailed enough answers to questions.
For performance optimizations it depends a lot on your use cases and what you are doing; there are a number of things you can do with Coherence to help performance but as with anything there are trade-offs. Coherence on the server-side is a Java process and often when tuning, sorting out issues and performance I spend a lot of time with the usual tools for Java such as VisualVM (or JConsole), tuning GC, looking at thread dumps and stack traces.
Finally, there are plenty of people on these forums happy to answer your questions in return for a few forum points, so just ask.

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.

Quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation.

Hi all,
I have a quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation for FT, NFS, ISCSI, VM traffic etc. I get that its best practice to try and separate traffic where you can and especially for things like FT however I just wondered if there was a preferred method to achieving this. What I mean is ...
- Is it OK to have everything on one switch but set each respective portgroup to having a primary and failover NIC i.e FT, ISCSI and all the others failover (this would sort of give you a backup in situations where you have limited physical NICs.
- Or should I always aim to separate things entirely with their own respective NICs and their own respective switches?
During the VCAP exam for example (not knowing in advance how many physical NIC's will be available to me) how would I know which stuff I should segregate on its own separate switch? Is there some sort of ranking order of priority /importance? FT for example I would rather not stick on its own dedicated switch if I could only afford to give it a single NICs since this to me seems like a failover risk.

I know the answer to this probably depends on however many physical NICs you have at your disposal however I wondered if there are any golden 100% rules for example FT must absolutely be on its own switch with its own NICs even at the expence of reduced resiliency should the absolute worst happen? Obviously I know its also best practice to seperate NICs by vender and hosts by chassis and switch etc

What is the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure of placing "FSMO Roles on Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and Additional Domain Controller (ADC)"??

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and have
2 Domain Controllers in my Company:
Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
Additional Domain Controller (ADC)
My (PDC) was down due to Hardware failure, but somehow I got a chance to get it up and transferred
(5) FSMO Roles from (PDC) to (ADC).
Now my (PDC) is rectified and UP with same configurations and settings. (I did not install new OS or Domain Controller in existing PDC Server).
Finally I want it to move back the (FSMO Roles) from
(ADC) to (PDC) to get UP and operational my (PDC) as Primary.
(Before Disaster my PDC had 5 FSMO Roles).
Here I want to know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
In case if Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
Example like (FSMO Roles Distribution between both Servers) should be……. ???
Primary Domain Controller (PDC) Should contains:????
Schema Master
Domain Naming Master
Additional Domain Controller (ADC) Should contains:????
RID
PDC Emulator
Infrastructure Master
Please let me know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles.
I will be waiting for your valuable comments.
Regards,
Muhammad Daud

Here I want to know the best practice

There is a good article I would like to share with you:http://oreilly.com/pub/a/windows/2004/06/15/fsmo.html
For me, I do not really see a need to have FSMO roles on multiple servers in your case. I would recommend making it simple and have a single DC holding all the FSMO roles.
In case if
Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
No. This is not true. Each FSMO role is unique and if a DC fails, FSMO roles will not be automatically transferred.
There is two approaches that can be followed when an FSMO roles holder is down:
If the DC can be recovered quickly then I would recommend taking no action
If the DC will be down for a long time or cannot be recovered then I would recommend that you size FSMO roles and do a metadata cleanup
Attention! For (2) the old FSMO holder should never be up and online again if the FSMO roles were sized. Otherwise, your AD may be facing huge impacts and side effects.

Best Practices and Usage of Streamwork?

Hi All -
Is this Forum a good place to inquire about best practices and use of Streamwork? I am not a developer working with the APIs, but rather have setup a Streamwork Activity for my team to collaborate on our activities.
We are thinking about creating a sort of FAQ on our team activity and I was thinking of using either a table or a collection for this. I want it to be easy for team members to enter the question and the answer (our team gets a lot of questions from many groups and over time I would like to build up a sort of knowledge base).
Does anyone have any suggestions for such a concept in StreamWork? Has anyone done something like this and can share experiences?
Please let me know if I should post this question in another place.
Thanks and regards,
Rob Stevenson

Activities have a limit of 200 items that can be included. If this is the venue you wish to use, it might be better to use a table rather than individual notes/discussions.

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?

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

Hope this helps a bit.

OIM best practice and E-Business

I have the business requirement to provision different types of users in EBS. There are different applications developed within EBS for which the user provisioning flow may vary slightly.
what is the best practice with regards to creating resource objects and forms ? should I create a separate RO and set of Forms for each set of users

EBS, and SAP, implementations with complex and varying approval work flows is clearly one of the most challenging applications of OIM. There are a number of design patterns but without a lot of detail about your specific implementation it is very hard to say which pattern is the most appropriate.
(Feel free to contact me on [email protected] if you want to discuss this in more detail but don't want to put all the detail in a public forum.)
Best regards

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.

Subversion best practices and assumptions?

I am using SQL Developer 3.0.04, accessing Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production. I am taking over a project and setting up version control using Subversion. The project uses 4 schema for its tables, PLSQL objects, etc. When saving a PLSQL object (a package specification for example) in SQL Developer (using the File->Save As menu option) the default name is PACKAGE_NAME.sql. The schema name is not automatically set up as part of the file name. In looking at the SQL Developer preferences, I do not see a way to change this.
In viewing the version control OBE, which uses files from the HR schema, there is an implicit assumption that the files all affect the same schema. Thus the repository directory only contains files from that one schema. Is this the normative/best practice for using Subversion with Oracle and SQL Developer? I want to set up our version-control environment to minimize the likelihood of "user(programmer) error".
Thus, in our environment, should I :
1) set up Subversion sub-directories for each schema within my Subversion project, given that each release (we are an Agile project, releasing every 2 weeks) may contain objects from multiple schema?
2) rename each object to include the schema name in the object?
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi
It makes sense to have the HCM system in the same system as rest of the components because
1) We are able to make use of the tight integration between various components, most importantly Payroll - Finance.
2) We can manage without tiresome ALE/interface development and management.
3) lesser hardware cost (probably)
It makes sense to have HCM in different systems because
1) because of different sequence of HRSP/LCP compared to other systems, we can have a separate strategy for HRSP application independent of other components. We can save a lot of effort in regression testing as only HR needs to be tested after patch application.
2) IN many countries there are strict data protection laws, and having HR in a separate system ensures that people from other functions do not have access to HR data even accidentally as they will not have user ids in the HR system.
Hope this is enough to get you started.
