  • Oracle Custom Workflow Redesign best practices

    Hi All,
    Morning , need some help with this scenario.
    We are in the process of redesigning existing developed custom Oracle Workflows in our system ( Oracle Apps Release 12.0.6 )
    hence wanted to know if there are steps or guidelines/best practices which could be followed in this situation on points like handling performance issues with the workflow , how to handle the purging of the obsolete workflow data , design steps regards notifications, how to handle error conditions with workflow activities and how to retry activities ( means if any activity within the workflow process shows error how it could be retried or re executed in real time without any delay).
    means any pointers which could be considered for this redesign actvity , any best practices document/steps and guidelines would be really very very helpful here...
    Regards

    This is a very broad question - narrowing it to specifics might help folks respond better.
    There are a lot of documents on MOS that refer to best practices from a technology stack perspective.

  • Best Practices for Workshop IDE (Development Workstation Setup)

    Is there any Oracle documentation that describes best practices for setting up Workshop and developing on a workstation that includes Oracle's ODSI, OSB, Portal, and WLI? We are using all these products on a weblogic server for each developer's machine and experiencing performance and reliability issues. What's the optimal way to use these products on a developer's workstation. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Currently you dont see such best practice site with in workshop.
    but you can verify most issues from doc.

  • Logical architecture+best practice

    Hi,
    what does these mean for you regading Oracle applications :
    1-logical architecture
    2-best practice
    Regards.

    1-logical architecture -> I assume the technical architecture for deployment of Oracle Applications (Single node, multi node, HA, DMZ configuration etc)
    2-best practice -> Best Practices in each function within maintaining and implementing Oracle Applications.. like best practice for Upgrades, Coning Patching etc

  • Best practice DISK Layout for E-business suite 11i or R12 in SAN enviornmen

    Hi,
    Does any one have any document on best practices on DISK Layout for E-business suite 11i or R12 in SAN enviornment?
    My thoughts are :
    Mount point 1 =Oracle Binary
    Mount point 2 =Data files
    Mount point 2 =Index files
    Mount point 2 =Archived logs
    Please suggest

    On our HPUX node, we have each environment (PROD, TEST, DEV) on it's own separate mountpoint. Each mountpoint is a separate LUN (Vdisk) on our SAN (an HP EVA4400). No performance issues at all. Our Windows nodes runs Apache and forms, and that is on the internal disks on the windows machine itself. Hope this helps.

  • Oracle RAC /apps best practice

    New to RAC and trying to set up the filesystems according to best practice. For the /apps mountpoint (for oracle binaries etc.) we have made it seperate to each server, with the thought that 'rolling' oracle upgrades could be done rather than a shared storage to all servers in the cluster. Unfortunately by having it on the SAN it causes configuration issues when then presenting shared storage for data to the cluster.
    Do most (best practice) RAC clusters have local (on board) storage for the /apps oracle binaries rather than SAN presented storage?
    Thanks.

  • Want the best practices docs on Oracle database Admin provided by Oracle

    Hi there,
    I looked at everywhere and didn’t find the best practices docs on Oracle database administration especially on creating db in oracle 10g dbs. I can find bits and pieces here and there. But I didn’t find all incorporated in one. Could somebody direct/provide me on this?

    ok, I'm not looking for the oracle provided manual to find out the best practices in db field. I'm looking for the best practices when creating the db in oracle db, for example. I can read all the oracle manual in Oracle tihiti world. But I don't know the most used and practical things to do when creating the db:- If I have to define what should be the best practices when creating the db, here are the checklist:
    Here are the best practices when creating the Oracle 10 DBs:
    1.     Create meaningful database name
    2.     Create the directory structure following the Optimal Flexible Architecture(OFA)
    a.     Give suffix for the redo log .LOG
    b.     Give suffix for the data file .DBF
    c.     Give suffix for the Control file .CTL
    3.     Enable Password complexity
    4.     Enable ARCHIVELOG Mode
    5.     Use User Oracle Managed File
    6.     Create separate tablespace for data files and Indexes
    7.     Put archive log in different multiple drives
    8.     Multiplex redo log files, and control file
    etc.
    I want to see what other db gurus considers the best practices in the field.

  • Best Practice to fetch SQL Server data and Insert into Oracle Tables

    Hello,
    I want to read sqlserver data everry half an hour and write into oracle tables ( in two different databases). What is the best practice for doing this?
    We do not have any database dblinks from oracle to sqlserver and vice versa.
    Any help is highly appreciable?
    Thanks

    Well, that's easy:
    use a TimerTask to do the following every half an hour:
    - open a connection to sql server
    - open two connections to the oracle databases
    - for each row you read from the sql server, do the inserts into the oracle databases
    - commit
    - close all connections

  • Oracle EPM 11.1.2.3 Hardware Requirement and best practice

    Hello,
    Could anyone help me find the Minimum Hardware Requirement for the Oracle EPM 11.1.2.3 on the Windows 2008R2 Server? What's best practice to get the optimum performance after the default configuration i.e. modify or look for the entries that need to be modified based on the hardware resource (CPU and RAM) and number of users accessing the Hyperion reports/files.
    Thanks,
    Yash

    Why would you want to know the minimum requirements, surely it would be best to have optimal server specs, the nearest you are going to get is contained in the standard deployment guide - About Standard Deployment
    Saying that it is not possibly to provide stats based on nothing, you would really need to undertake a technical design review/workshop as there many topics to cover before coming up with server information.

  • JSP Best Practices and Oracle Report

    Hello,
    I am writing an application that obtains information from the user using a JSP/HTML form and then submitted to a database, the JSP page is setup using JSP Best Practices in which the SQL statments, database connectivity information, and most of the Java source code in a java bean/java class. I want to use Oracle Reports to call this bean, and generate a JSP page displaying the information the user requested from the database. Would you please offer me guidance for setting this up.

  • [XI 3.1] BEST PRACTICE method of Oracle connection for RPTs on Linux

    Business Objects XI (3.1) - SP3.
    Running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS.
    7,000+ Crystal Reports 2008 *.rpt objects ONLY (No Universe / No WebI).
    All reports connecting to Oracle 10g databases.
    ==================
    In the past, all of this infrastructure was running on Windows Server OS and providing the database access via a Named ODBC connection (eg. "APP_DATA".)
    This made it easy to manage as all the Report Developers had a standard System DSN called "APP_DATA" which was the same as the System DSN name on all of our DEV, TEST/UAT, and PROD servers for Business Objects.
    When we wanted to move/promote a *.rpt file from DEV to PROD we did not have to change any "Database Connection" info as it was all taken care of by pointing the System DSN called "APP_DATA" a a different physical Oracle server at the ODBC level.
    Now, that hardware is moving from Windows OS to Red Hat Linux and we are trying to determine the Best Practices (and Pros/Cons) of using one of the three methods below to access the Oracle database for our *.rpts....
    1.) Oracle Native connection
    2.) ODBC connection
    3.) JDBC connection
    Here's what we have determined so far -
    1a.) Oracle Native connection should be the most efficient method of passing SQL-query to the DB with the fewest issues and best speed [PRO]
    1b.) Oracle Native connection may not be supported on Linux - http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=118770&view=previous&sid=9cca754b468fc67888ab2553c0fbe448 [CON]
    1c.) Using Oracle Native would require special-handling on the *.rpts at either the source-file or the CMC level to change them from DEV -> TEST -> PROD connection. This would result in a lot more Developer / Admin overhead than they are currently used to. [CON]
    2a.) A 3rd-Party Linux ODBC option may be available from EasySoft - http://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/odbc_oracle_driver/index.html - which would allow us to use a similar Developer / Admin overhead to what we are used to. [PRO]
    2b.) Adding a 3rd-Party Vendor into the mix may lead to support issues is we have problems with results or speeds of our queries. [CON]
    3a.) JDBC appears to be the "defacto standard" when running Oracle SQL queries from Linux. [PRO]
    3b.) There may be issues with results or speeds of our queries when using JDBC. [CON]
    3c.) Using JDBC requires the explicit-IP of the Oracle server to be defined for each connection. This would require special-handling on the *.rpts at either the source-file (and NOT the CMC level) to change them from DEV -> TEST -> PROD connection. This would result in a lot more Developer / Admin overhead than they are currently used to. [CON]
    ==================
    We would appreciate some advice from anyone who has been down this road before.
    What were your Best Practices?
    What can you add to the Pros and Cons listed above?
    How do we find the "sweet spot" between quality/performance/speed of reports and easy-overhead for the Admins and Developers?
    As always, thanks in advance for your comments.

    Hi,
    I just saw this article and I would like to add some infos.
    First you can quite easely reproduce the same way of working with the odbc entries by playing with the oracle name resolution on the server. By changing some files (sqlnet, tnsnames.ora,..) you can define a different oracle server for a specific name that will be the same accross all environments.
    Database name will be resolved differently regarding to the environment and therefore will access a different database.
    Second option is the possibility to change the connection in .rpt files by an automated way like the schedule manager. This tool is a additional web application to deploy that can change the connection settings of rpt reports on thousands of reports in a few clicks. you can find it here :
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80af7965-8bdf-2b10-fa94-bb21833f3db8
    The last option is to do it with a small sdk script, for this purpose, a few lines of codes can change all the reports in a row.
    After some implementations on linux to oracle database I would prefer also the native connection. ODBC and JDBC are deprecated ways to connect to database. You can use DATADIRECT connectors that are quite good but for volumes you will see the difference.

  • Best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service

    Hi All
    What is the best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service? Is it using integration repository or calling the web service directly from the java class using a WS client?
    With Thanks & Regards
    Abhishek

    Using Integration Repository might cause performance overhead based on the operation you are doing, I have never used Integration Repository for 3rd Party integration therefore I am not able to make any comment on this.
    Calling directly as a Java Client is an easy approach and you can use ATG component framework to support that by making the endpoint, security credentials etc as configurable properties.
    Cheers

  • Best Practice to Setup an application to work with both oracle and db2 db

    Hi,
    We have an application that currently supports both oracle and db2 databases . It is currently using JPA with eclipselink as backend mechanism and we want to move to ADFBc as our backend . So what is best practice to do this?
    I came across an old post in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adf-methodology/UlJZSTu14Io that states to create two different model projects to support oracle and db2 .
    Is this still the standard ? Is there a way that we could work around rather than creating multiple projects?
    How do i get the view controller to work with multiple model projects if this is the case?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the response .
    The problem is i would have the same schema on both the databases (both in oracle and db2) .
    I don't see a scenario where i want both the application model projects at the same time . What i meant is , Application will either be deployed with Oracle DB or DB2 but not with both on a production environment .
    So is there a way where i just change the connection parameters alone rather having two different models ?
    If i have to use two model projects ,  would it be possible say i built the view controller for Oracle , and use it for DB2 if i make sure the BC objects names are similar between model projects and switch just the model jar based on the deployment environment ?

  • Best practice for making changes to Oracle apps business views and BAs/fold

    HI
    The oracle BI solution comes with pre-defined Business Views- database views and Business Areas and folders. If we want to customize those database views or BAs and folders what will be the best practice in order to avoid losing it during any upgrades.
    For ex Oracle out-of box Order Management BA that we are using heavily needs some additional fields to be added to Order Header and Order Lines folders and we also want to add some custom folders to this BA.
    If we do the changes to the database views behind this BA would they be lost during the upgrade or do we have to copy(duplicate) those views, updated them and create a custom BA and folders against those views.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you are adding new folders then just add them to the Oracle Business Area. The business area is just a collection of folders. If the business area was changed in an upgrade the new folder would not be deleted.
    If you want to add fields to the existing folders/views then you have 2 options. Add the field to the defining base view (these are the views beginning OEBV and OEFV) and then regenerate the business views. This may be overwritten if the view is upgrade but this is unlikely.
    Alternatively, copy the view to create a new version and then map the old folder to the new view and refresh. You may need to re-map the folder if the folder is upgraded, but at least you have a single folder used by both Oracle and custom reports.

  • Best practice for repositories during configuration - one or several DBs?

    Establishing my 11.1.2 dev box, we are in 9.3.1 in Production. Reading through documentation it states that one database is the repository for the Shared Services, Business Rules, Essbase, etc.
    Since I came to this new job with 9.3.1 installed not sure if this was verbiage that is the standard from version 9.3 or this is something new for 11.1.x
    So...what is the best practice? is it better to lump all foundation type activity into one DB (I realize Planning apps have their own db) or is it better to have a db for biplus, db for shared services, etc...
    JTS

    Here is what Oracle have to say
    "For ease of deployment and simplicity, for a new installation, you can use one database for all products, which is the default when you configure all products at the same time. To use a different database for each product, perform the “Configure Database” task separately for each product. In some cases you might want to configure separate databases for products. Consider performance, roll-back procedures for a single application or product, and disaster recovery plans."
    I would say in a development environment then there is no harm in using one db/schema for products, remember some products require separate databases/schemas e.g. Planning application.
    In production environment I tend to promote keeping them separate as it helps with troubleshooting and recovery.
