NSM Event Agent for AD location - Best practice

Hello,
We are currently designing our NSM 3.1 for AD implementation and would like some guidance with regard to installing the NSM Event Agent. We have come up with two options:
The first option is to install the NSM Event Agent on a Domain Controller where new user accounts are provisioned.
The second option is to install the NSM Event Agent on a server with the other NSM components.
The argument for option 1 is that NSM will be notified as soon as an account is created.
The argument for option 2 is that MS best practice is that no other software should be installed on a DC and that the NSM Event Agent will perform a network request to talk to the nearest domain controller to obtain a list of changes since it last connected.
Is there any preferred option, or does it not matter?
Regards,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
Unlike eDirectory event monitoring, Active Directory event monitoring is
accomplished with a polling mechanism. Therefore putting your Event
Monitor on the domain controller will not significantly increase
performance. As long as the Event Monitor is in a site with a domain
controller, it should pick up events as quickly as it can.
For further reading on AD sites and domain/forest topology we recommend
reviewing http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc755294.aspx.
Remember that for AD, NSM requires only one Event Monitor per domain
(and in fact you'll only be able to authorize one Event Monitor per
domain through the NSM Admin client.) However, deploying a second Event
Monitor as a backup may be helpful. When the AD Event Monitor is
installed and configured for the first time, it first has to build a
locally-cached replica of the domain it resides in. In a large domain
this can take a long time, so having a second EM already running, which
can be authorized immediately if the primary EM goes down, will ensure
that you catch up with events in AD more quickly.

Bandwidth Utilization Avg or Max for capacity Planning best practice

Hello All - This is a conceptual or Non-Cisco product question. Hope you can help me to get this best industry practice
I am doing a Capacity planning for the WAN Link Bandwidth. To study the last month bandwidth utilization in the MRTG graph, i am seeing two values
Average
Maximum.
To measure how much bandwidth my remote location is using which value i have to use. Average or Max?
Average is always low eg. 20% to 30%
Maximum is continuous 100% for 3 hour in 3 different intervals in a day and become 60% in rest of the day
What is the best practice followed in the networking industry to derive the upgrade size of the bandwidth by using the Utilization graph
regards,
SAIRAM

Hello.
It makes no sense to use average during whole day (or a month), as you do the capacity management to avoid business impact due to link utilization; and average does not help you to catch is the end-users experience any performance issues.
Typically your capacity management algorithm/thresholds are dependent on traffic patterns. As theses are really different cases if you run SAP+VoIP vs. youtube+Outlook. If you have any business critical traffic, you need to deploy QoS (unless you are allowed to increase link bandwidth infinitely).
So, I would recommend to use 95-percentile of maximum values on 5-15 minutes interval (your algorithm/thresholds will be really sensitive to pooling interval, so choose it carefully). After to collect baseline (for a month or so) - go and ask users about their experience and try to correlate poor experience with traffic bursts. This would help you to define thresholds for link upgrade triggers.
PS: proactive capacity management includes link planning for new sites and their impact on existing links (in HQ and other spoke).
PS2: also I would recommend to separately track utilization during business hours (business traffic) and non-business (service or backup traffic).

Resources for from design - best practices for layout?

Hi,
I have made a number of forms fo the past few years. I feel like they look dated and are somewhat stale...   I have found a few resources out there on Javascript best practices and more mechanical focused articles, but nothing really specific design as it relates to usability and "feel". I realized some of this is subjective and varies depending on the form's purpose, but I am just looking for some new ideas.
Does anyone have a resource or listing of froms they think are outstanidng from a design perspective?
Is anyone willing to share forms they think are outstanding? Just that baisics like information collection?
How much color and line type objects become to much?
What are some design elements used in "web 2.0" (whatver that really means) that we sould be using in our forms. tempered with what can be done.
I am looking for this to be an open disucssion and am curious to hear what works for others. I hope others will find this interesting and helpful.
Cheers,
Tom

And the second snippet code validates any form to check every fields if values are not null, if a value is null it will setFocus on the first null field
2. Validate Form and Focus on First Field that Fails Validation
     2.1 Create a script Object with two small methods to return a table of fields that have null values
Script Object :
form1.#variables[0].myForm - (JavaScript, client)
//Tab for field's expressions and field's exceptions
var tabExpression;
var tabException;
function validateAllFields(rootObject){
          //If a field is null, stop everything
          if (tabExpression.length > 0)
                         return;
          //If the 'presence' property is by default 'visible' in the form and the object value is 'visible', the 'presence' property doesn't exist
          //If its default value is "hidden", the property always exist
               if (!rootObject.isPropertySpecified("presence") || rootObject.presence == "visible"){
                              //Verify if the object contains an interface 'button'
                              //The button is considered as a 'field', so if it's not a button the statement is true
                              if (!(rootObject.isPropertySpecified("ui") && rootObject.ui.nodes.item(0).className == "button")){
                                             //If the object contains nodes and if it's not a 'field' or a RadioButtonList
                                             if (rootObject.nodes.length > 0 && (rootObject.className != "field" && rootObject.className != "exclGroup")){
                                                            //Recall this method for each nodes in the object to find every fields (Recursive Method)
                                                      for (var i = 0; i < rootObject.nodes.length; i++){

                                                                                          //Verify if the field is in the exception list
                                                                                          if (tabException.indexOf(rootObject.name) != -1){
                                                                                                   boValidate = false;
                                                  //Add if the object is not in the exception table
                                                  if (boValidate)
                                                            tabExpression[tabExpression.length] = rootObject.somExpression;
     2.2 Create this method in your object as well, and will be called on a click_event
function getValExpressions(rootObject, tabExcption){
     //Create new table
     tabExpression = new Array();
     //Put the exceptions fields value in the exception table
     tabException = tabExcption
     //Validation
     validateAllFields(rootObject);
     //Return a null field
     return tabExpression;
     2.3 The click event is where you write the special validation for different forms
//Create a table with exception fields, can be used for special validation fields or no validation
var tabExceptionFields = new Array("dateField1", "txtComments", "txtTotal");
//Call the validation
var tab = myForm.getValExpressions(Main, tabExceptionFields);
if (tab.length > ){
     xfa.host.setFocus(tab[0]);
} else{
     var boValidate = false;
     var strExpression;
     //write your validation according to the fields you need special validation.
     if (statement == false){
          strExpression = Reference_Syntax.Field.somExpression;
          boValidate = false;
      if (boValidate){
          xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
     } else{
          xfa.host.setFocus(strExpression);
I will post a form template as an exemple for these function
Enjoy!

Search for ABAP Webdynpro Best practice or/and Evaluation grid

Hi Gurus,
Managers or Team Leaders are facing of the development of SAP application on the web. Functional people propose to business people Web applications. I'm searching for Best practice for Web Dynpro ABAP Development. We use SAP Netweaver 7.0 and an SAP ECC 6.0 SP4.
We are facing of claims about Webdynpro response time. The business wants to have 3 sec response time and we have 20 or 25 sec.
I want to communicate to functional people a kind of recommendation document explaining that in certain case the usage of Webdynpro will not be a benefit for the business.
I know that the transfer of data, the complexity of the screen and also the hardware are one of the keys but I expect some advices from the SDN community.
Thanks for your answers.
Rgds,
Christophe

Hi,
25s is a lot. I wouldn't like to use an application with response time that big. Anyway, Thomas Jung has just recently published a series of video blogs about WDA performance tools. It may help you analyzing why your web dynpro application is so slow. Here is the link to the [first part|http://enterprisegeeks.com/blog/2010/03/03/abap-freakshow-u2013-march-3-2010-wda-performance-tools-part-1/]. There is also a [dedicated forum|Web Dynpro ABAP; to WDA here on SDN. I would search there for some tips and tricks.

Authorizations for tasks (R_UC_TASK) / Best Practice SEM-BCS authorization

Dear Experts,
I am quite new to authorizations and in particular to SEM-BCS authorization. So I would be happy if you could help me with the following requirement:
We have to setup an authorization concepts for SEM-BCS. Among others we want to setup authorizations for consolidations tasks using authorization object R_UC_TASK. With this authorization object certain tasks can be restricted to certain characteristic values u2013 e.g. for a certain consolidation group or a certain consolidation unit. We have defined a role each for certain consolidation tasks. These roles are not restricted to any characteristic value yet. We have for instance a role u201Cregional controlleru201D who is allowed to perform certain BCS tasks on a regional level (consolidation unit level). This would mean that we would have to create the role u201Cregional controlleru201D for all consolidation units u2013 see example below:
Role 1: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit 1000
Role 2: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit 1100
Role 3: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit 1200
Role n: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit n
We have more than 400 consolidation units. So this would require a high effort. Is there instead a possibility of creating one role based on authorization object R_UC_TASK which just defines which activities can be performed (without restricting access to a certain consolidation unit). , and using second role which defines the consolidation unit access? u2013 see example below:
A
Role: Regional Controller
Role: Cons Unit 1000
B
Role: Regional Controller
Role: Cons Unit 1100
C
Role: Regional Controller
Role: Cons Unit 1200
In this case we only would have to maintain one role u201CRegional Controlleru201D and we only would have to assign the restriction for the consolidation unit. How could this be realized? Or do you have any other ideas to solve this requirement in a simple way?
Moreover I would be happy if you could tell me where I could find best practice scenarios for SEM-BCS authorizations.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards
Marco

Hello Marco,
you can enter a master role in the description tab of a role. All fields populated via program PFCG_ORGFIELD_CREATE can be maintained in the role. All other fields will be taken from the master role. So you only need to populate the field for unit with the program.
Good luck
Harry

Setting Disks/Caches/Vault for multiple projects - Best Practices

Please confirm a couple assumptions for me:
1. Because Scratch Disk, Cache and Autosave preferences are all contained in System Settings, I cannot choose different settings for different projects at the same time (i.e. I have to change the settings upon launch of a new project, if I desire a change).
2. It is good practice to set the Video/Render Disks to an external drive, and keep the Cache and Autosave Vault set to the primary drive (e.g. user:Documents:FCP Documents). It is also best practice to save the Project File to your primary drive.
And a question: I see that the Autosave Vault distinguishes between projects, and the Waveform Cache Files distinguishes between clips. But what happens in the Thumbnail Cache Files folder when you have more than one project targeting that folder? Does it lump it into the same file? Overwrite it? Is that something about which I should be concerned?
Thanks!

I don't. And I don't think it matters. But you should back that file up to some other drive (like Time Machine).

Looking for team development best practices

We are new to Flex and have a team of five developers with
JEE background. My question is how to best organize a flex project,
so it's efficient for everyone to work together. Coming from
typical JEE Web application development, it's quite straightforward
to break up features into separate Java classes and JSP pages. It
reduces chances of multiple people working on the same file and the
merging hassle. I am looking for best practices for breaking up
flex code especially for MXML, so it is easy for a team of
developers to work on the project.

Thank you

Orientation strategy for mobile. Best practice?

Hi all.
What's the best way to handle orientation changes on a mobile device when you have several child movies loaded in the background?
I'm thinking:
1. Each child movie have it's own listener for an orientation change. (calls function to adjust graphics as needed so they are ready when the movie is added to stage)
or
2. One primary listener on the main stage which the child movies respond to.
Thoughts? Am I way off-base on this?
Thanks!
JP
PS. Don't think this matters, but just in case, the app is for iOS only.

It's not difficult to make your own event, which you can use custom information in it. I prefer this method.
Here's a full example of a custom event I use all the time called AppEvent:
package
     import flash.events.Event;
     public class AppEvent extends Event
          public static const APP_EVENT:String = "appevent";
          public var params:Object; // where you stick your custom goodies
          public function AppEvent(type:String, params:Object, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false)
               super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
               this.params = params;
          public override function clone():Event
               return new AppEvent(type, this.params, bubbles, cancelable);
          public override function toString():String
               return formatToString("AppEvent", "params", "type", "bubbles", "cancelable");
To dispatch this event with a piece of data, you'd do this:
this.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.APP_EVENT, {customVarA:"something",customVarB:"something"}));
In that example I sent "customVarA" and "customVarB" both set to the string "something". I'd read it like this:
function someHandler(e:AppEvent):void
     trace("A: " + e.params.customVarA + ", B: " + e.params.customVarB);
It sends an object through called e.params. You set whatever objects you want inside it.
To add a listener from a child clip just use the .parent property.
e.g.
this.parent.addEventListener(AppEvent.APP_EVENT, someHandler, false, 0, true);
Any time the parent dispatches the event the child will get it, with whatever custom parameters you need.

Event on Servicing task status : best practice

hello,
I work on ORACLE Servicing module with Service requests, for each service request it could have some tasks to do, each task has got a status : I want to launch an email when for some status transition : ( Open to Close for example ).
What is the best way to do such a thing ?
- using workflow ?
- a trigger ?
or some other way.
( working on ORACLE APPLICATION 11i 11.5.9 )
Thanks.
Romeo.

How obnoxious! :-) This functionality already there.
If you check the the Notification checkbox in the task type setup, every update should send the notification to the owner of the task.
jtf_wf_task_events_pvt.publish_update_task raises the event.
jtf_task_wf_subscribe_pvt.update_task_notif_subs reads the event raised
Checks wthere the notification check box is enabled if yes
sends the notification using jtf_wf_task_util.create_notification (uses another workflow of item type JTFTASK).
Try it out. This code should give a good idea how it works.
Thanks

Schema Design for Worklist Application - best practice?

Hello,
we are designing the Schema for a workflow application now. I'm wondering what kind of XML Schema would be best suited for the JSP generation of the Workflow Wizard.
So far I've found out with some tests (please correct me if I'm wrong):
- Only elements will be mapped to JSP fields, not attributes
- If elements have single-letter name, the field label will be eliminated totally in JSP (bug?!)
- For EVERY parent node, an HTML table is generated in the JSP containing all the simple nodes in the parent. If a parent node contains another parent node, both tables will be generated on the same level.
And I haven't found any way to create drop-down list or checkbox/radiobuttons out of the XSD definition (enumeration as element type).
I would really appreciate it if someone could share some experience in this area, many thanks in advance!

ZHU Jia

Server 2012 with HQ and 2 branch locations - Best practice?

Hello. I'm trying to plan a domain for a company with 1 Headquarters and 2 branch offices.<o:p></o:p>
Currently both branch offices are communicating with headquarters via site-to-site VPN. However, most if not all of our services are cloud based. The routers in each
location are performing DHCP and DNS. The speed at each location is good, 10 mbps at the branches and 70 at HQ. Both branch offices have about 30 people at them. HQ has around 80-100<o:p></o:p>
We want to implement a domain so there is user authentication for accessing the computers and preferably a print server at HQ for HQ printers. We may want to move DHCP to
a domain controller. We also want to utilize group policy.<o:p></o:p>
My questions are the following:<o:p></o:p>
1. Since we are primarily cloud based, would putting a DC on Amazon EC2 or other product be advisable?<o:p></o:p>
2. Should I put RODC at the remote locations?<o:p></o:p>
3. If I have redundant DC's at HQ on 2 different Xenservers and have credential caching, would only have the 2 DC's at HQ be advisable?<o:p></o:p>

1. Makes sense to put DCs in each location. That way, even when the network to the internet is down, resources are still available locally.
2. Dependent on applications you are installing in remote offices. Most applications are okay, but some require access to a rewritable domain controller.
3. Two DCs are HQ is the minimum you should have at HQ. Then one in each remote site.

Looking for information on best practices using Live Upgrade to patch LDOMs

This is in Solaris 10. Relatively new to the style of patching... I have a T5240 with 4 LDOMS. A control LDOM and three clients. I have some fundamental questions I'd like help with..
Namely:
#1. The Client LDOMS have zones running in them. Do I need to init 0 the zone or can I just +zoneadm zone halt+ them regardless of state? I.E. if it's running a database will halting the zone essentially snapshot it or will it attempt to shut it down. Is this even a nessessary step.
#2. What is the reccommended reboot order for the LDOMs? do I need to init 0 the client ldoms and the reboot the control ldom or can I leave the client LDOM's running and just reboot the control and then reboot the clients after the control comes up?
#3. Oracle. it's running in several of the zones on the client LDOM's what considerations need to be made for this?
I am sure other things will come up during the conversation but I have been looking for an hour on Oracle's site for this and the only thing I can find is old Sun Docs with broken links.
Thanks for any help you can provide,

Before you use live upgrade, or any other patching technique for Solaris, please be sure to read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23823_01/html/E23801/index.html which includes information on upgrading systems with non-global zones. Also, go to support.oracle.com and read Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade Information Center [ID 1364140.1]. These really are MANDATORY READING.
For the individual questions:
#1. During the actual maintenance you don't have to do anything to the zone - just operate it as normal. That's the purpose of the "live" in "live upgrade" - you're applying patches on a live, running system under normal operations. When you are finisihed with that process you can then reboot into the new "boot environment". This will become more clear after reading the above documents. Do as you normally would do before taking a planned outage: shut the databases down using the database commands for a graceful shutdown. A zone halt will abruptly stop the zone and is not a good idea for a database. Alternatively, if you can take application outages, you could (smoothly) shutdown the applications and then their domains, detach the zones (zoneadm detach) and then do a live upgrade. Some people like that because it makes things faster. After the live upgrade you would reboot and then zoneadm attach the zones again. The fact that the Solaris instance is running within a logical domain really is mostly besides the point with respect to this process.
As you can see, there are a LOT of options and choices here, so it's important to read the doc. I ***strongly*** recommend you practice on a test domain so you can get used to the procedure. That's one of the benefits of virtualization: you can easily set up test environments so you cn test out procedures. Do it! :-)
#2 First, note that you can update the domains individually at separate times, just as if they were separate physical machines. So, you could update the guest domains one week (all at once or one at a time), reboot them into the new Solaris 10 software level, and then a few weeks later (or whenever) update the control domain.
If you had set up your T5240 in a split-bus configuration with an alternate I/O domain providing virtual I/O for the guests, you would be able to upgrade the extra I/O domain and the control domain one at a time in a rolling upgrade - without ever having to reboot the guests. That's really powerful for providing continuous availability. Since you haven't done that, the answer is that at the point you reboot the control domain the guests will lose their I/O. They don't crash, and technically you could just have them continue until the control domain comes back up at which time the I/O devices reappear. For an important application like a database I wouldn't recommend that. Instead: shutdown the guests. then reboot the control domain, then bring the guest domains back up.
3. The fact that Oracle database is running in zones inside those domains really isn't an issue. You should study the zones administration guide to understand the operational aspects of running with zones, and make sure that the patches are compatible with the version of Oracle.
I STRONGLY recommend reading the documents mentioned at top, and setting up a test domain to practice on. It shouldn't be hard for you to find documentation. Go to www.oracle.com and hover your mouse over "Oracle Technology Network". You'll see a window with a menu of choices, one of which is "Documentation" - click on that. From there, click on System Software, and it takes you right to the links for Solaris 10 and 11.

Responsive projects autosizing for multiple devices -- best practices?

While it's a nice idea to have the three different breakpoints on width that allow you to make some major layout changes, I'm having trouble making this work well across multiple devices. With the high resolutions of current mobile devices, this model just doesn't seem to work well. For example, the iPad 2 in landscape mode select the desktop layout, which isn't bad, but in portrait mode gets the tablet layout, which by default is set up to be landscape. I changed the heights for both breakpoints to better fit the iPad, but then the iPhone in landscape gets the tablet layout, requiring a lot of scrolling.
Given the wide range of resolutions on mobile devices, it's not at all clear how this a simplistic mechanism like this could ever work. For one thing, it sure seems like you need to provide for both portrait and landscape layouts on tablets and phones, with Captivate using both width and height to select the best one. Also, is there any way to tell it to fill the screen without scrolling? How about automatically leaving the area clear where there's a status bar (or telling it to hide the status bar)?
I could just create a separate version of the project for each device, but then lose much of the value of creating a Responsive Project in the first place. Have those of you with more experience found good ways to deal with these variables, or is the best option to just create separate versions of the project?
