OIM: Best practices for day-to-day management

Facing a go live within short time and preparing guidelines for the day-to-day administration and control. I am looking for best practices with regard to have an overview of what is going on in OIM like open provisionings due pending tasks and approvals assigned to all users.
Anything to share?
Thanks

Best practices for Refreshing Unv Structure for SAP based universes

This may sound basic and I apologize for asking this, but the refresh structure in SAP based universes is somewhat different from noraml universes.
Here is what i'd like to do:
- Hide all the L00 objects.
- Rename all the L01 objects and move them to a new Class.
- Change some of the detail (attribute) objects to dimension objects.
- Hide the format and Unit for key figures.
- Hide all of the classes/subclasses that get automatically generated when a SAP based universe is created.
I have noticed that when I do the above and refresh the universe, it assumes that all these objects have gone missing from the original classes and adds them back to the universe.
I also want to make sure that if the select of an object gets updated and the object is re-named, then it should automatically pick up the change.
Lastly, I have some reports which were built prior to this renaming. I want to make sure that the reports do not break.
Thanks,
Kashif

Hi,
This thread is really old.
Yes it was a common problem back in the earlier XI 3.x days . a lot of bugs in this area were eliminated by the time of XI 3.1 SP03 FP3.x - you don't quote your version.
Actually, you need to be aware that a refresh structure is often not needed, and can corrupt the olap universe . Pls check out Note 1278216 - What are the best practices for OLAP Universe Change Management when using SAP Integration Kit?
in essence :
Only use 'Refresh Structure' functionality If:
- A new Object (Dimension/Characteristic) has been added to the BEx query (Rows/Columns/Free Characteristics)
- A new Variable Restriction has been added to the Bex query Filters
Do not use 'Refresh Structure' functionality after:
- Having modified a STRUCTURE in BEx. i.e. 'Detail view of Formula' or 'Details of Selection', or changing the General Description of structure members.
- Doing manual actions on objects/classes in the OLAP Universe like: Move ; Cut/Paste ; Drag/Drop ; Hide ; Delete.
(because these workflow can lead to corruption)

Basic Strategy / Best Practices for System Monitoring with Solution Manager

I am very new to SAP and the Basis group at my company. I will be working on a project to identify the best practices of System and Service level monitoring using Solution Manager. I have read a good amount about SAP Solution Manager and the concept of monitoring but need to begin mapping out a monitoring strategy.
We currently utilize the RZ20 transaction and basic CCMS monitors such as watching for update errors, availability, short dumps, etc.. What else should be monitored in order to proactively find possible issues. Are there any best practices you all have found when implimenting Monitoring for new solutions added to the SAP landscape.... what are common things we would want to monitor over say ERP, CRM, SRM, etc?
Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions!

Hi Mike,
Did you try the following link ?
If not, it may be useful to some extent:
http://service.sap.com/bestpractices
---> Cross-Industry Packages ---> Best Practices for Solution Management
You have quite a few documents there - those on BPM may also cover Solution Monitoring aspects.
Best regards,
Srini

JSF - Best Practice For Using Managed Bean

I want to discuss what is the best practice for managed bean usage, especially using session scope or request scope to build database driven pages
---- Session Bean ----
- In the book Core Java Server Faces, the author mentioned that most of the cases session bean should be used, unless the processing is passed on to other handler. Since JSF can store the state on client side, i think storing everything in session is not a big memory concern. (can some expert confirm this is true?) Session objects are easy to manage and states can be shared across the pages. It can make programming easy.
In the case of a page binded to a resultset, the bean usually helds a java.util.List object for the result, which is intialized in the constructor by query the database first. However, this approach has a problem: when user navigates to other page and comes back, the data is not refreshed. You can of course solve the problem by issuing query everytime in your getXXX method. But you need to be very careful that you don't bind this XXX property too many times. In the case of querying in getXXX, setXXX is also tricky as you don't have a member to set. You usually don't want to persist the resultset changes in the setXXX as the changes may not be final, in stead, you want to handle in the actionlistener (like a save(actionevent)).
I would glad to see your thought on this.
--- Request Bean ---
request bean is initialized everytime a reuqest is made. It sometimes drove me nuts because JSF seems not to be every consistent in updating model values. Suppose you have a page showing parent-children a list of records from database, and you also allow user to change directly on the children. if I hbind the parent to a bean called #{Parent} and you bind the children to ADF table (value="#{Parent.children}" var="rowValue". If I set Parent as a request scope, the setChildren method is never called when I submit the form. Not sure if this is just for ADF or it is JSF problem. But if you change the bean to session scope, everything works fine.
I believe JSF doesn't update the bindings for all component attributes. It only update the input component value binding. Some one please verify this is true.
In many cases, i found request bean is very hard to work with if there are lots of updates. (I have lots of trouble with update the binding value for rendered attributes).
However, request bean is working fine for read only pages and simple binded forms. It definitely frees up memory quicker than session bean.
----- any comments or opinions are welcome!!! ------

I think it should be either Option 2 or Option 3.
Option 2 would be necessary if the bean data depends on some request parameters.
(Example: Getting customer bean for a particular customer id)
Otherwise Option 3 seems the reasonable approach.
But, I am also pondering on this issue. The above are just my initial thoughts.

Best Practice for Managing a BPC Environment?

My company is currently running a BPC 5.1 MS environment and will soon be upgrading to version 7.0 MS. I was wondering if there is a white paper or some guidance that anyone can give with regard to the best practice for managing a BPC environment. Which brings to light several questions in my mind:
1. Which department(s) in a company should u201Cownu201D the BPC application?
2. If both, whatu2019s SAPu2019s recommendation for segregation of duties?
3. What roles should exist within our company to manage BPC?
4. What type(s) of change control is SAPu2019s u201CBest Practiceu201D?
We are currently evaluating the best way to manage the system across multiple departments, however there is no real business ownership in the system, which seems to be counter to the reason for having BPC as a solution in the first place.
Any guidance on this would be very much appreciated.

Best practice for highly available management / publishing servers

I am testing a highly available appv 5.0 environment, which will deploy appv packages to a Xenapp farm. I have two SQL 2012 servers configured as an availability group for the backend, and two publishing / management servers for the front end.
What is the best practice to configure the publishing / management servers for high availability? Should I configure them as an NLB cluster, which I have tested and does seem to work, or should I just use the GPO to configure the clients to use both
publishing servers, which I have also tested and appears to work?
Thanks,
Patrick Sullivan

In App-V 5.0 the Management and Publishing Servers are hosted in IIS, so use the same approach for HA as you would any web application.
If NLB is all that's available to you, then use that; otherwise I would recommend a proper load balancing solution such as Citrix NetScaler or KEMP LoadManager.

Best practices for implementing OIM

We plan on putting OIM servers behind LB (hardware). When I develop OIM client I am required to specify OIM endpoint(s) via property java.naming.provider.url. In case of LB I'd specify a virtual host there. The question is what is the best practice for configuring LB - timeout, persistence, monitoring? I don think LB vendor is relevant, but just in case, I have a choice of F5 BigIP and Citrix Netscaler.
My understanding is that Java class tcUtilityFactory is supposed to be instantiated once (in a web client) and maintain the connection, but LB will close the connection after timeout is exceeded. So another question is if I want to use LB I have to take care of rebuilding connection when it is expired, or open/close connection every time tcUtilityFactory is needed. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

No i was not going to sync timeouts - just let it close connections after say, 5 min of inactivity. The reason is that performance data is horrible - from my desktop environment, initialization takes almost 9 sec, while reading data from OIM - only 150 milliseconds. I can't afford more than .5 sec on the whole OIM operation, as we are talking about customer experience.
Thanks,
Alex

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

What are the best practices for Database management and performance tuning?

Hello,
I want to ensure that I am using the best practices for managing and maintaining our Database.
Is there any documentation out there that outlines how to maintain and ensure top performance out of our database?
Thank you!
John Sefton

I appreciate the responses, however this is not the information I am looking for.
I am specificaly looking for best practices invloving the managment and performance tuning.
Example: are their tools that I can install that will monitor the size and response time of the database and alert me if there is degradation in performance?
Are there specific periodic activities I should be doing to garuntee that my database will continue to function that way it is supposed to?
Or is this a fire and forget solution that does not need this attention?
