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

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.

Muhammad Daud

Here I want to know the best practice
and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
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.

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.

Best Practice in using Business Packages

Hi All,
Are there any Best Practices in the use of Business Package content? Do you assign the Roles delivered by the Business Package and do you make changes to the original iViews?
or
Do you copy the content delivered in the Business Package to a new folder and work with there?
These questions are purely at the configuration level and not at the Java coding level. For instance if I want to turn of the iView Tray, or change a parameter such as height, or even remove an iView from a page or Role.
I would like to know the various approaches the SDN community uses and the different challenges and benefits that result in each approach.
Look forward to hearing from you all
Paul

Hi Paul,
I also build my own roles. The only time I might use the standard roles is for demo purposes early in a project. You will find that in some cases the business packages like MSS don't always even include standard roles, so you have no choice but to build.
I never change any of the standard iViews/Pages/Worksets - ever.
The most contentious issue seems to be whether to do a full or delta link copy of the standard objects. I tend to initially do a full copy of the objects into a custom folder set in the PCD and modify those. Then I only use delta links from Page to iViews where I need the option of setting different properties for the same iView if it appears in multiple pages. Delta links can be a bit flakey at times, so I tend to only use them where I have to. I suspect that I may get to a point where I don't use them at all.
Just my 2 cents worth....

John

Best Practice Regarding Maintaining Business Views/List of Values

Hello all,
I'm still in the learning process of using BOXI to run our Crystal Reports. I was never familiar with the BO environment before but I have recently learned that every dynamic parameter we create for a report, the Business View/Data Connectors/LOV are created on the Enterprise Repository the moment the Crystal Report is uploaded.
All of our reports are authored from a SQL Command statement and often times, various reports will use the same field name from the database for different reports. For example, we have several reports that use the field name "LOCATION" that exists on a good number of tables on the database.
When looking at the Repository, I've noticed there are several variations of LOCATION, all which I'm assuming belongs to one specific report. Having said that, I see that it can start to become a nightmare in trying to figure out which variation of LOCATION belongs to what report. Sooner or later, the Repository will need to be maintained a bit cleaner, and with the rate we author reports, I forsee a huge amount of headache down the road.
With that being said, what's the best practice in a nutshell when trying to maintain these repository items? Is it done indirectly on the Crystal Report authoring side where you name your parameter field identifiable to a specific report? Or is it done directly on the Repository side?
Thank you.

Eric, you'll get a faster qualified response if you post to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum as that forum is monitored by qualified support for BOE

Best Practice to implement Business Packages

Hello All,
Need some clarification -
What is the best practice to implement ESS/MSS Business Package onto Portal -
(1) Should I just import and configure the content OR
(2) Should I import, create a copy and then configure it? If yes, are there any points to be kept in mind?
All blogs/articles that have been published show to configure the standard content.
The requirement is to maintain a different prefix/namespace for each Portal content that comes along the business package?
Thanks,
Ritu

[ASAP methodology|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/asap%2bfocus%]
ASAP methodology is one methodlogy used in implementing SAP .
The ASAP methodology adheres to a specific road map that addresses the following five general Phases:
Project Preparation, in which the project team is identified and mobilized, the project Standards are defined, and the project work environment is set up;
Blueprint, in which the business processes are defined and the business blueprint document is designed;
Realization, in which the system is configured, knowledge transfer occurs, extensive unit testing is completed, and data mappings and data requirements for migration are defined;
Final Preparation, in which final integration testing, stress testing, and conversion testing are conducted, and all end users are trained; and
Go-Live and Support, in which the data is migrated from the legacy systems, the new system are activated, and post-implementation support is provided.
ASAP incorporates standard design templates and accelerators covering every functional area within the system, as well as supporting all implementation processes. Complementing the ASAP accelerators, the project manager can create a comprehensive project plan, covering the overall project, project staffing plan, and each sub-process such as system testing, communication and data migration. Milestones are set for every work path, and progress is carefully tracked by the project management team.
Hope it will help you.

Best practices for EUL/Business Areas

What is the best way to handle multiple business areas? Even if they have no relations with each other?
Should I have one EUL with many business areas in it? Or many EULs with one business areas in each?
Does any one know where I can find the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Thanks,
Rob

Hey there (repost of a similar thread in this forum).
Many clients I've been at have the exact same discussion. And the one I push for is to have 1 EUL, let the BIS views have their own business areas and like you said, don't customize them.
For all corporate business areas, folders, etc. just create them in the same EUL but the business areas have a corporate prefix (ie: coca cola would have a CC_ prefix). That way ALL folders can access the BIS views if wanted (ie: join across business areas), special setups (ie: LOVs) could be in a particular business area where ALL folders could access) and updating BIS views with new versions would be a problem.
I really don't like multiple EUL as it's one of those simple things that can be a gotcha' for many end users that drives the helpdesk nuts trying to understand why a particular user can see his info.
Just my take (and of course, what I think is the 'best practice' 8-) ).

PI best practice and integration design ...

Im currently on a site that has multiple PI instance's for each region and the question of inter-region integration has been raised my initial impression is that each PI will be in charge of integration of communications for its reginal landscape and inter-region communications will be conducted through PI - PI interface . I havent come across any best practice in this regard and have never been involved with a multiple PI landscape ...
Any thoughts ? or links to best practice for this kind of landscape ?...
to Summaries
I think this is the best way to set it up, although numerous other combinations are possible, this seems to be the best way to avoid any signifcant system coupling. When talking about ECC - ECC inter-region communications
AUS ECC -
> AUS PI -
> USA PI -
> USA ECC

I need to get data from my local ECC to USA ECC, do i send the data to their PI/my PI/directly to their ECC, all will work, all are

If LocalECC --> onePI --> USA ECC is valid, then you dont have to go for other PI in between...why to increase the processing time....and it seems to be a good option to bet on.
The issue is
1. Which PI system should any given peice of data be routed through and how do you manage the subsequent spider web of interfaces resulting from PI AUS talking to ECC US, ECC AU, BI US, BI AU and the reverse for the PI USA system.
2. Increased processing time Integration Engine - Integration Engine should be minimal and it will mean a consistent set of interfaces for support and debug, not to mention the simplification of SLD contents in each PI system.
I tend to think of like network routing, the PI system is the default gateway for any data not bound for a local systems you send and let PI figure out what the next step is.
abhishek salvi wrote:
But then what about this statement (is it a restriction or business requirement)
Presently the directive is that each PI will manage communications with its own landscape only respectively
When talking multiple landscapes dev / test / qa / prod, each landscape has its own PI system generally, this is an extention of the same idea except that both systems are productive, from a interface and customisation point of view given the geographical remotness of each system local interface development for local systems and support makes sense, whilst not limited to this kind of interaction typically interfaces for a given business function for a given location (location specific logic) would be developed in concert with the interface and as such has no real place on the remote system (PI).
To answer your question there is no rule, it just makes sense.
