Managing Tasks on Ethernet cDAQ - Best Practice

Hi all,
I'm currently working on a multi-station machine to perform functional product tests using an NI cDAQ 9188. Each station in the machine performs the same function but is intended to run independently. Basically a given station is loaded with a part, tested, sorted, a new part is installed and repeats. During this process other stations are undergoing the same procedure and sharing the same cDAQ.
During this testing digital signals (48) are turned on/off and analog signals (24) are being read between all stations. I've found that in contrary to a PCI task, the ethernet cDAQ tasks have quite a delay (~750 ms) when starting / stopping. Prior to this project I've only had experience using PCI tasks where I could read N Samples when needed without much start-up delay. Same goes for writing digital samples.
The solution I've implemented for this is to create a continuous analog read VI that reads all analog signals and loops in the background continuously writing to a global variable. When a given station gets to a point where it needs to read signals, it pulls the desired index from the global array at that point in time. I also have a similar solution set up for the digital task, except it is reading a global variable for digital states and applies that to the task on each loop iteration. Normally I try to avoid continous loop senarios but the PC I'm using lets me get away with it.
Basically what I really need is subVI that starts the analog or digital task, but is idle until called by any module and returns N samples. This VI needs to act as a gate for analog read requests to avoid any reserved resource issue. I can't really think of how to accomplish this.
Any ideas?

If you're looking for more control over the DAQmx task, perhaps you could utilize the DAQmx Control Task VI to control which state the task is in?

Oracle Identity Manager - automated builds and deployment/Best practice

Is there a best practice as for directory structure for repository in version control system?
Do you recommend to keep the whole xellerate folder + separate structure for xml files and java code? (Considering fact that multiple upgrades can occur over the time)
How custom code is merged to the main application?
How deployment to Weblogic application server occur? (Do you create your own script or there is an out of the box script that can be reused)

Hi,
You can use any IDE (Eclipse, Netbeans) for development.
For, Getting started with OIM API's using Eclipse, please follow these steps
1. Creating the working folder structure
2. Adding the jar/configuration files needed
3. Creating a java project in Eclipse
4. Writing a sample java class that will call the API's
5. Debugging the code with Eclipse debugger
6. API Reference
1. Creating the working folder structure
The following structure must be created in the home directory of your project (Separate project home for each project):
<PROJECT_HOME>
\ bin
\ config
\ ext
\ lib
\ log
\ src
The folders will store:
src - source code of your project
bin - compiled code of your project
config - configuration files for the API and any of your custom configuration files
ext - external libraries (3'rd party)
lib - OIM API libraries
log - local logging folder
2. Adding the jar/configuration files needed
The easiest way to perform this task is to copy all the files from the OIM Design Console
folders respectively in the <PROJECT_HOME> folders.
That is:
<XEL_DESIGN_CONSOLE_HOME>/config -> <PROJECT_HOME>/config
<XEL_DESIGN_CONSOLE_HOME>/ext -> <PROJECT_HOME>/ext
<XEL_DESIGN_CONSOLE_HOME>/lib -> <PROJECT_HOME>/lib
3. Creating a java project in Eclipse
+ Start Eclipse platform
+ Select File->New->Project from the menu on top
+ Select Java Project and click Next
+ Type in a project name (For example OIM_API_TEST)
+ In the Contents panel select "Create project from existing source",
click Browse and select your <PROJECT_HOME> folder
+ Click Finish to exit the wizard
At this point the project is created and you should be able to browse
trough it in Package Explorer.
Setting src in the build path:
+ In Package Explorer right click on project name and select Properties
+ Select Java Build Path in the left and Source tab in the right
+ Click Add Folder and select your src folder
+ Click OK
4. Writing a sample Java class that will call the API's
+ In Package Explorer, right click on src and select New->Class.
+ Type the name of the class as FirstAPITest
+ Click Finish
Put the following sample code in the class:
import java.util.Hashtable;
import com.thortech.xl.util.config.ConfigurationClient;
import Thor.API.tcResultSet;
import Thor.API.tcUtilityFactory;
import Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf;
public class FirstAPITest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
System.out.println("Startup...");
System.out.println("Getting configuration...");
ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting config =
ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
System.out.println("Login...");
Hashtable env = config.getAllSettings();
tcUtilityFactory ioUtilityFactory = new tcUtilityFactory(env,"xelsysadm","welcome1");
System.out.println("Getting utility interfaces...");
tcUserOperationsIntf moUserUtility =
(tcUserOperationsIntf)ioUtilityFactory.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf");
Hashtable mhSearchCriteria = new Hashtable();
mhSearchCriteria.put("Users.First Name", "System");
tcResultSet moResultSet = moUserUtility.findUsers(mhSearchCriteria);
for (int i=0; i<moResultSet.getRowCount(); i++){
moResultSet.goToRow(i);
System.out.println(moResultSet.getStringValue("Users.Key"));
System.out.println("Done");
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
Replace the "welcome1" with your own password.
+ save the class
To run the example class perform the following steps:
+ Click in the menu on top Run, and run "Create, Manage, and run Configurations" wizard. (In the menu, this can be either "run..." or "Open Run Dialog...", depending on the version of Eclipse used).
+ Right click on Java Application and select New
+ Click on arguments tab
+ Paste the following in VM arguments box:
-Djava.security.manager -DXL.HomeDir=.
-Djava.security.policy=config\xl.policy
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=config\authwl.conf
-DXL.ClientClassName=%CLIENT_CLASS%
(please replace the URL, in ./config/xlconfig.xml, to your application server if not running on localhost or not using the default port)
+ Click Apply
+ Click Run
At this point your class is executed. If everything is correct, you will see the following output in the Eclipse console:
Startup...
Getting configuration...
Login...
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.opensymphony.oscache.base.Config).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

PS 2010: Task Updating via PWA best practice?

Can anyone suggest a best method of tracking task progress via PWA? In MS Project, you would expect task owners or project manager to enter the following:
Actual Start, Actual Finish, Actual Duration or Work, Remaining Duration or Work, and then “update” all un-started/finished work after the Status Date.
Is it possible to use the same update process using PWA? I noticed that some fields mentioned above are greyed-out (can’t enter data) in PWA.
Any guidance will be much appreciated.

Project Server 2010 User --
I want to commend you for having the foresight to ask these important questions before your people actually begin using Project Server 2010. It is the easiest to set up the default method of tracking progress in the beginning, and much harder to change
it to something else after you go live. My answer is based on the assumption that you will NOT be using the Timesheet page in PWA, as this requires a totally different method of tracking than what you describe.
Based on your comments about how your PMs track progress in Microsoft Project 2010 desktop projects, you would want to select the Actual Work Done and Work Remaining method of tracking in Project Server 2010. To prevent people from freelancing how
they enter progress, you should also select the Force Project Managers to Use the Progress Reporting Method Specified Above for All Projects option. You should be able to leave all of the other options set to their default values on the Task Settings
and Display page.
Next, you should set up the Tasks page to include the following columns, along with other default columns that are necessary:
Actual Start
Actual Work
Remaining Work
Actual Finish
By doing this, you will capture the EXACT information in PWA that your PMs would be capturing in their projects in Microsoft Project. The difference is that when team members enter their progress in PWA, your PMs will no longer need to manually enter
the progress in their Microsoft Project files. The methodology you would need to require your team members to follow on the Tasks page in PWA would be this:
If you begin work on a new task this week, enter the date you began work on the task in the Actual Start field.
Enter the total amount of work done so far on each task in the Actual Work field.
Adjust the Remaining Work field value, if necessary, for any task. Team members can increase or decrease the value as needed.
On the day you finish work on a task, enter this date in the Actual Finish field for the task.
If you change the Remaining Work value for any task, optionally add a note to the task document the reason for the adjustment.
Submit the task updates for the week on the last day of each reporting period.
Just some thoughts. Perhaps others in this group will have some good ideas for you as well. Hope this helps.

Periodic task in web container best practice

Hi All,
My wep application has to monitor a specific directory on the hard disk for new incoming files (I know about the difficulties here - that's not the problem). Right now I'm planning to write a servlet which does nothing more but create a java.util.Timer in init() and schedule a java.util.TimerTask with it (and of course cancel() the timer in destroy()).
How would you solve this?

Site Maintenance Task Best Practice

As per our understanding, we need to either enable "Clear Install Flag" task or "Delete Inactive Client Discovery Data" task.
please do let us know, what will be consequences if we enabled the both tasks & what are the best practices.
Prashant Patil

Clear Install Flag
task is highly dependent on heartbeat discovery. If you install client on computer and heartbeat sent the information to Site making its Install flag as Active in Database and at later stage ,If you uninstall client,still the Install Flag will be active
until it is discovered by heartbeat Discovery. When the client is not discovered by Heartbeat discovery,Install Flag will be cleared.
As a thumb rule,When
enabling this task, set the Client Rediscovery period to
an interval longer than the Heartbeat Discovery schedule.
More information about how Clear Install Flag works is given here http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jgilbert/archive/2008/10/18/client-is-installed-flag-explained.aspx
Delete Inactive Client Discovery Data:

Best practice for server configuration for iTunes U

Hello all, I'm completely new to iTunes U, never heard of this until now and we have zero documentation on how to set it up. I was given the task to look at best practice for setting up the server for iTunes U, and I need your help.
*My first question*: Can anyone explains to me how iTunes U works in general? My brief understanding is that you design/setup a welcome page for your school with sub categories like programs/courses, and within that you have things like lecture audio/video files and students can download/view them on iTunes. So where are these files hosted? Is it on your own server or is it on Apple's server? Where & how do you manage the content?
*2nd question:* We have two Xserve(s) sitting in our server room ready to roll, my question is what is the best method to configure them so it meets our need of "high availability in active/active mode, load balancing, and server scaling". Originally I was thinking about using a 3rd party load balancing device to meet these needs, but I was told there is no budget for it so this is not going to happen. I know there is IP Failover but one server has to sit in standby mode which is a waste. So the most likely scenario is to setup DNS round robin and put both xserves in active/active. My question now is (this maybe related to question 1), say that all the content data like audio/video files are stored by us, (We are going to link a portion of our SAN space to Xserve for storage), if we are going with DNS round robin and put the 2 servers in Active/Active mode, can both servers access a common shared network space? or is this not possible and each server must have its own storage space? And therefore I must use something like RSYNC to make sure contents on both servers are identical? Should I use XSAN or is RSYNC good enough?
Since I have no experience with iTunes U whatsoever, I hope you understand my questions, any advice and suggestion are most welcome, thanks!

wht is the Best Practice for having server pool i.e
1) having a single large serverpool consisting of "n" number of guest vm
2) having a multiple small serverpool consisting of less of number of guest vm I prefer option 1, as this gives me the greatest amount of resources available. I don't have to worry about resources in smaller pools. It also means there are more resources across the pool for HA purposes. Not sure if this is Official Best Practice, but it is a simpler configuration.
Keep in mind that a server pool should probably have up to 20 servers in it: OCFS2 starts to strain after that.

Backup validation best practice 11GR2 on Windows

Hi all
I am just reading through some guides on checking for various types of corruption on my database. It seems that having DB_BLOCK_CHECKSUM set to TYPICAL takes care of much of the physical corruption and will alert you to the fact any has occurred. Furthermore RMAN by default does its own physical block checking. Logical corruption on the other hand does not seem to be checked automatically unless the CHECK LOGICAL is added to the RMAN command. There are also various VALIDATE commands that could be run on various objects.
My question is really, what is best practice for checking for block corruption. Do people even bother regularly checking this and just allow Oracle to manage itself, or is it best practice to have the CHECK LOGICAL command in RMAN (even though its not added by default when configuring backup jobs through OEM) or do people schedule jobs and output reports from a VALIDATE command on a regular basis?
Many thanks

To use CHECK LOGICAL clause is considered best practice at least by Oracle Support according to
NOTE:388422.1 Top 10 Backup and Recovery best practices
(referenced in http://blogs.oracle.com/db/entry/master_note_for_oracle_recovery_manager_rman_doc_id_11164841).

Data warehousing question/best practices

I have been given the task of copying a few tables from our production database to a data warehousing database on a once-a-day (overnight) basis. The number of tables will grow over time; currently it is 10. I am interested in not only task success but also best practices. Here's what I've come up with:
1) drop the table in the destination database.
2) re-create the destination table from the script provided by SQL Developer when you click on the 'SQL' tab while you're viewing the table.
3) INSERT INTO the destination table from the source table using a database link. Note: I am not aware of any columns in the tables themselves which could be used to filter added/deleted/modified rows only.
4) After data import, create primary key and indexes.
Questions:
1) SQL Developer included the following lines when generating the table creation script:
<table creation DDL commands>
then
PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING
STORAGE (INITIAL 251658240 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "TBLSPC_PGROW"
it generated this code snippet for the table, the primary key and every index.
Is this necessary to include in my code if they are all default values? For example, one of the indexes gets scripted as follows:
CREATE INDEX "XYZ"."PATIENT_INDEX" ON "XYZ"."PATIENT" ("Patient")
-- do I need the following four lines?
PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 COMPUTE STATISTICS
STORAGE(INITIAL 60817408 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "TBLSPC_IGROW"
2) Anyone with advice on best practices for warehousing data like this, I am very willing to learn from your experience.
Thanks in advance,
Carl

I would strongly suggest not dropping and recreating tables every day.
The simplest option would be to create a materialized view on the destination database that queries the source database and to do a nightly refresh of that materialized view. You could then create a materialized view log on the source table and then do an incremental refresh of the materialized view.
You can schedule the refresh of the materialized view either in the materialized view definition, as a separate job, or by creating a refresh group and adding one or more materialized views.

Best practice for upgrading task definition in production system

If I try and update a task definition with task instances running I get the following error:
Task definition 'My Task - Add User' may not be modified while there are active task instances
Is there a best practice to handle this. I tried to force an update through the console but that didn't work. I tried editing the task from the debug page and got the same error.

The best way for upgrade purposes is to use the rename function of the TaskDefinition from the lh command line utility.
Basically renames all current task instances with the TaskDefinition name. You can then alter the existing TaskDefinition and upload into identity manager.

Hai,
Organizational Structure
Use
In order for the workflow system to establish the relationship between the requester and their superior, you must create an organizational plan in the system.
For this tutorial, of course, this organizational plan does not have to be complete and valid across the enterprise. To keep the test as simple as possible initially, define an organizational plan that only contains one administrator and one head of department.
Assign both items to yourself. As a result, all work items will appear in your own Business Workplace. Later you will modify the organizational plan such that you will have to work through the scenario with two users.
Procedure
The organizational plan required for this tutorial consists, when complete, of one organizational unit (= "department"), which contains two positions: a head of department and an administrator.
Each position is described by one job and each position is assigned one user as holder. The head of department position is also designated as chief position of the organizational unit.
Of course, a "real" organizational plan is created by arranging several organizational units with their positions in a hierarchy. Usually several positions are described by one job.
For further information, refer to the documentation Organizational Plan.
The procedure in this unit is divided into four parts:
1.     You create an organizational unit.
2.     Enter necessary jobs as required.
3.     You create a position for the head of department in the new organizational unit.
You define a position in three steps:
i.     You create a position that is assigned your organizational unit.
ii.     You assign a holder to the position.
iii.     You assign a job to the position.
3.     You create a position for the administrator in the organizational unit.
Creating an organizational unit
1.     Choose Tools  SAP Business Workflow  Development Definition tools  Organizational Management  Organizational plan  Create.
2.     Confirm the validity period proposed in the dialog box Creating a Root Organizational Unit.
This takes you to the Create Organization and Staffing (Workflow) screen. This user interface is divided into four screen areas:
3.     On the Basic Data tab in the details area, enter an abbreviation and a name in the Organizational unit input fields.
Abbreviation: <ini_sales>
Name: <OrgUnit: Sales (ini)>
4.     Choose .
You can now create the position for a head of department and one administrator.
Create jobs
When enhancing an organizational unit, the necessary jobs are usually already available. For this tutorial however, you create the necessary jobs for head of department and administrator yourself.
1.     Choose Edit  Create jobs.
You go to the dialog box Create jobs. The lower area contains a list of existing jobs and the upper area contains an input table in which you can create new jobs by entering abbreviations and names.
2.     In the input table, enter an abbreviation and a name for each of the new jobs.
Job - head of department:
Object abbreviation: < ini_dhead_C >
Name: < job: head of department (ini) >
Job administrator:
Object abbreviation: < ini_admi_C >
Name: < job: administrator (ini) >
3.     Choose .
Creating Position for Head of Department
1.     Change to the overview area in the staff assignments of the organizational unit, in order to assign positions, jobs and holders. Choose the arrow on the right next to the and then the staff assignments (list).
2.     Choose .
A new position is then created in the staff assignments and is displayed in a new line in the table. The position is vacant and no job is assigned to it.
3.     Open the details view for the new position in the details area by double-clicking on the entry in the table.
4.     On the Basic Data tab, enter a code and a description in the Position input fields. Overwrite the previous contents.
Abbreviation: < ini_dhead_S >
Description: < position: head of department ( ini ) >
Assigning a holder to the position
You now assign R/3 users to the positions. The staff assignments for your organizational unit are displayed and you see the vacant position in the table.
5.     Select User in the search area and enter the search criteria in order to find your user names.
All of the user names that match your search criterion are listed in the selection screen.
6.     Select your user name in the selection area and drag it to the Person/User column of the position in the overview area.
Confirm the message that the relationship period of the validity has been changed.
7.     Set the Head of own organizational unit indicator in the details area.
Assigning a job to the position
Assign the job of the head of department you created earlier to the position.
8.     Select Job in the search area and enter the search criteria in order to find the job of the head of department.
All jobs that match your search criterion are listed in the selection screen.
9.     Select job: head of department ( ini) in the selection area and drag it to the Job column of the position in the overview area.
10.     Choose .
The job is assigned the position. Check this by switching to the staff assignments of the organizational unit. Select the organizational unit in the overview area, choose the arrow on the right next to the and then the staff assignments (list). The newly created job is displayed in the job column.
Create position for administrator and assign holder and job
You are now in the staff assignments of the organizational unit.
1.     Choose .
A new position is then created in the staff assignments and is displayed in a new line in the table. The position is vacant and no job is assigned to it.
2.     On the Basic Data tab in the details area, enter an abbreviation and a name in the Position input fields. Overwrite the previous contents.
ID: <ini admiS >
Description: < position: administrator ( ini ) >
3.     Choose .
4.     Select User in the search area and enter the search criteria in order to find your user names.
5.     Select your user name in the selection area and drag it to the Person/User column of the position in the overview area.
Confirm the message that the relationship period of the validity has been changed.
6.     Select Job in the search area and enter the search criteria in order to find the job of the administrator.
7.     Select job: administrator ( ini) in the selection area and drag it to the Job column of the position in the overview area.
8.     Choose .
Result
Display your entire staffing schedule again and make sure that all the information listed is correct.
You can display a detailed view of jobs, users, and positions. Choose the relevant cell in the table by double-clicking it.
In the details view of a position or job, all of the assigned tasks are displayed on the Tasks tab.
You have now completed the first unit (defining the organizational plan). You can now start on the next unit. To exit processing of the organizational structure, choose Back.

What is a best practice for managing a large amount of ever-changing hyperlinks?

I am moving an 80+ page printed catalog online. We need to add hyperlinks to our Learning Management System courses to each reference of a class - there are 100s of them. I'm having difficulty understanding what the best practice is for consistent results when I need to go back and edit (which we will have to do regularly).
These seem like my options:
Link the actual text - sometimes when I go back to edit the link I can't find it in InDesign but can see it's there when I open up the PDF in Acrobat
Draw an invisible box over the text and link it - this seems to work better but seems like an extra step
Do all of the linking in Acrobat
Am I missing anything?
Here is the document in case anyone wants to see it so far. For the links that are in there, I used a combination of adding the links in InDesign then perfecting them using Acrobat (removing additional links or correcting others that I couldn't see in InDesign). This part of the process gives me anxiety each month we have to make edits. Nothing seems consistent. Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

what exatly needs to be edited, the hyperlink or content or?

Best practices for managing Movies (iPhoto, iMovie) to IPhone

I am looking for some basic recommendations best practices on managing the syncing of movies to my iPhone. Most of my movies either come from a digital camcorder into iMovie or from a digital Camera into iPhone.
Issues:
1. If I do an export or a share from iPhoto, iMovie, or QuickTime, what formats should I select. I've seem 3gp, mv4.
2. When I add a movie to iTunes, where is it stored. I've seen some folder locations like iMovie Sharing/iTunes. Can I copy them directly there or should I always add to library in iTunes?
3. If I want to get a DVD I own into a format for the iPhone, how might I do that?
Any other recommedations on best practices are welcome.
Thanks
mek

1. If you type "iphone" or "ipod" into the help feature in imovie it will tell you how.
"If you want to download and view one of your iMovie projects to your iPod or iPhone, you first need to send it to iTunes. When you send your project to iTunes, iMovie allows you to create one or more movies of different sizes, depending on the size of the original media that’s in your project. The medium-sized movie is best for viewing on your iPod or iPhone."
2. Mine appear under "movies" which is where imovie put them automatically.
3. If you mean movies purchased on DVD, then copying them is illegal and cannot be discussed here.
