Project management tools for complex publishing project?

I was wondering what project management tools people use for managing complex InDesign projects? Software-oriented project management tools, or are there tools specifically for publishing projects?

The "Yes" is a link to a list of them. There are also a number of web-based services like 37 Signals.

Web content management tools for enterpise portal

I'm currently trying to research web content management tools for enterprise portal.
My general requirements are:
- Tool should sit on top of the portal/km and not require another landscape infrastructure, in other words we don't need another document management repository, but rather a way an easier interface to KM.
- Should be geared towards end-user management of actual content. In other words IT provides the site framework and the business user handles the rest, with approvals with business unit
- Compatible with EP 7.0
My research so far has turned up two possible solutions:
- Webpage composer delivered by SAP
- EasyWCM by btexx
Are there any other solutions that people are using which might meet these needs or alternative web content management tools that could live with the portal on the same physical hardware environment? I have searched this forum and ecohub and have not found much besides this thread which is now almost 4 years old:

Thank you,

Hi Stephen
I'm not aware of too many other options than the ones already mentioned here. Also Iu2019m probably not the right person to ask as I have been part of the development team for the KMD product. So Iu2019m a bit biased on that part.
You could try to have a look at this presentation where other WCM solutions are mentioned (page 5):
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d07b5354-c058-2a10-a98d-a23f775808a6
However if you are looking for a WCM solution with no extra landscape infrastructure and low initial setup effort you are (in my opinion) down to 3 options (Web Page Composer, Btexxu2019s or KMDu2019s product). I think all of them can be used for external content. Try to have a look at this web site u2013 made entirely with the web page composer:

Version management tool for Eclipse Juno / fiori apps

HI All,
We have working with fiori apps. We are using Eclipse Juno. I was wondering what would be the best tool for version management.
THanks for your suggestions,
Gopi

Hi Gopi,
yeah, that's right. When your eclipse recognize a git repository, you can't use the share-functionality of the Team-Provider plugin. But there's a little trick to use it, even if you have a git repo.
Just right-click on your git-project in eclipse, go to "Team" and click on "Disconnect". After that, you can share your project via Team-Provider plugin. The problem with this approach is, that you always have to work with the console or git-bash, when you want to execute git-task.
Sry, i have no experience with NWDI. The only thing i can say is, that it should be no problem to work with multiple people on a project based on git. You can work with a central repo or with a decentralized (beacuse git is a distributed version control system).
Regards
Michael

Management Tools for Oracle

Hi Guys,
Is there a consensus view on a decent GUI interface for managing Oracle instances. In particular something equivalent to SQL Server Management Studio - something that allows you to do DBA tasks and write ad hoc queries against the database?
The reason I ask is that I'm just having a play with Enterprise Manager (the web based version) and I've got to be honest - it's pretty hard going. Even something as simple as adding a table is very tedious when compared to SQL Server Management Studio.
I'm just downloading SQL Server Developer to see how that looks but was wondering if there was a de facto standard that lots of people like and use.
Many thanks in advance
Simon
PS - Typing the SQL in by hand is not an option for me
:-)

Hi Simon,
Many thanks for your thoughts. I've heard people say similar things about SQL Server - e.g. if you don't know how to make indexes, filegroups, schemas etc using TSQL, you aren't a proficient DBA. Thing is, I still manage to make a decent wage consulting on SQL Server and I'm sure the same arguments were applied to the Windows command prompt in the past.No Simon, you took me wrong. A proficient DBA is NOT the one who remembers each command by heart and can immediately type it. Heck what is the need of remembering syntaxes, commands when there is whole bunch of information of them over the entire web, in the documentation? But merely knowing that there is a command and does create an index doesn't make /prove anyone as a super-duper dba. Knowing at which stage to apply which command is the trick which differentiates best from the good dbas and certainly from average ones as well. People who say windows is a bad o/s are wrong. If it would be bad, it wouldn't had been used by so many people. Its good that's why it stayed and dominated for so long. Its just the people who use it, they tend to behave it like a bad o/s. A very simple, example, ask any pure winddow admin, what does it mean by mount point and he would be blank as the term never comes across to him since window has made things so simple, there is no need to know all these things. Its hard to make windows do what you want so we tend to adopt whatever it gives to us and there, things start getting different from Linux/Solaris(put any *nix here). Does that mean all window admins are bad? Nope, I know some guys who make window based servers up much efficiently and use its fullest power. But when things are tied to a shiny interface, we tend to use that more and more often, what they say, comfort zone kinda thing happens. That's it.
s I mentioned, I can write decent, very high performing queries, but when it comes to administrator style tasks I tend to want to use a graphical user interface. That's not to say I don't have a good understanding of what the UI is actually doing for me - it's just I don't care to type it all in by hand :-)No admin would like to type things. If they really would had loved typind so much, they probably would had become developers <g> . That's why we make scripts , schedule them , just to make sure that we can sit back, have a cup of coffee and can truly live up to expectations that dba's don't do anything (just kidding).
suppose the best anology I can come up with is if I want to go to the New York Times website, I don't open telnet and do:
GET /default.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.nytimes.com
I open Firefox and type in New York and then press enter :-)I agree to what you said but doesn't matter how hiteck we may become, how many I's we include in our phone, life, we still have to eat by our hands only and that's the only way to enjoy it too isn't it ;-) .
Now for the Sql Server, Oracle difference in the Management tools, here comes an analogy from me which I give pretty often. Getting married for the first time and making sure that the married life goes smooth itself is a very big and tough task. And if you decide to get married, things only would become tougher. If you really want to make the second marriage a successful one, you need to forget all teh good/bad points of the last partner and have to live with and be happy with the ones of teh second one. If you would keep on comparing, you are going to be ending up screwing up things in a very nice manner. That's what is doing Sql Server in the first place and then oracle or vice-versa. There would be differences, theree would be some good/bad new things but that's what it is and with which you have to live with.
Hope you would have fun learning oracle and surely being over here as well.
Cheers
Aman....

Sql/xml - powerful tool for complex reports

I just want to share euphoria...
HTMLDB itself provides powerful ways how to control the design of the page - various types of regions, page types, templates...
Nevertheless sometimes you need even more precise control over the content and format of the displayed page. The combination of SQL/XML and HTMLDB solves it in very elegant way.
- create page with common SQL report region.
- prepare the SELECT gathering the data to be displayed
- prepare another SELECT using SQL/XML functions adding HTML formating tags upon the first select.
Example:
select
XMLTYPE.getStringVal(
XMLElement("table",
XMLAttributes('5' as cellpadding),
XMLConcat(
XMLElement("tr",
XMLElement("td",
XMLAttributes('left' as align, 'top' as valign),
XMLElement("a",
XMLAttributes(provider_url as href),
XMLElement("img",XMLAttributes(provider_icon as src, provider_name as alt, provider_name as title))
XMLElement("td",
XMLAttributes('left' as align, 'top' as valign, '150' as width),
XMLElement("a",
XMLAttributes(event_url as href),
XMLElement("div",XMLAttributes('font-weight:bold; font-style:normal; font-size:10px; ' as style), event_name_part2)
XMLElement("div",XMLAttributes('font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-size:10px; ' as style), event_name_part1)
XMLElement("td",
XMLAttributes('right' as align, 'top' as valign),
XMLElement("div",
XMLElement("a",
XMLAttributes( edit_url as href),
XMLElement("img",
XMLAttributes( '#IMAGE_PREFIX#ed-item.gif' as src, '14' as width, '14' as height, 'Editovat článek/pořad' as alt, 'Editovat článek/pořad' as title)
XMLElement("div",
XMLElement("a",
XMLAttributes( delete_url as href),
XMLElement("img",
XMLAttributes( '#IMAGE_PREFIX#wastebasket.gif' as src, '16' as width, '16' as height, 'Smazat článek/pořad' as alt, 'Smazat článek/pořad' as title)
) as event_description
from (select

events.url as event_url,
my_events.issue_date,

join events on my_events.event_id=events.event_id
join providers on EVENTS.PROVIDER_ID= PROVIDERS.PROVIDER_ID
where my_events.user_id=:IAL_USER_ID
order by my_events.issue_date desc)
P.S. It's cool to use XMLAGG function in combination with GROUP BY clause - it enables you to easily display list of strings as a single filed on the formular....

Tools for SAP development work management?

Hi fellow SAP developers!
As you know, in a big software company the management of development work can be a challenge. Everyone should be able to see quickly who is doing what, who is available for new work, how did some old requests get solved and where is their documentation. We are talking about more than just some simple ticket management system here. It would be a central repository and work management tool for years to come.
I am interested to hear some suggestions for good tools that can be used for development work management in SAP world.
- It should be a tool where development requests can be input, reviewed, approved, documented and stored.
- It should support storing attachments
- It should support a project structure, under which the development items are created.
- It should be searchable and have different views to the development requests (for example by project, request raiser, developer, status etc.)
- It should have some kind of approval system or workflow.
- It should also support email notifications when the status or person assignment changes.
- It should run on large corporate network (accessible in intranet, perhaps via browser).
- A nice bonus would be a mobile client access for urgent cases
I'm keen to hear any proposals, even if not all the points in the wishlist are fullfilled
I'm interested to hear any comments on your exeperiences on various work management tools. What worked and what not?

Well, a SAP based product would be efficient as it is integrated and there would be no need for additional licenses etc.
I have to investigate the Solution manager offerings more, if that indeed could handle this task. Have you got any further information or experience?
Rally sounds interesting as well! Are there any other tools like that, proven good in SAP development?
For simply using Abap workbench, I'm afraid that is not good enough for what I'm after. How would you manage for example work queues, project based issue views and extensive solution documentation with it? And everything would have to be searchable and visible for also for non-technical managers who do not log in to SAP.

Help define the requirements for an Oracle Spatial management tool

Hi,
We are developing a tool that, we hope, will be indispensable for all Oracle Spatial and Locator dbas/users. We've released version 1.0, but we need your help to define the requirements for the next version.
What features would you like to have in a management tool for your spatial databases?
The features we've got so far:
1. Viewing of vector data in a map + attributes
2. Loading from shapefiles
3. Exporting to shapefiles
4. Validating metadata, indexes and spatial data.
We are adding editing of vectors in the next version - basic stuff for add, update and delete.
But there must be a lot more. What do you find difficult to do in Oracle Spatial/Locator? What would you like in a tool such as this?
Any feedback either to myself or the forum is much appreciated.
cheers,
Andrew
[email protected]
PS If you like to have a look at what we have done so far, go to http://www.geometryit.com/products/spatialConsole.php

Andrew knows what I have asked for but for others to think about and to start
the ball rolling, here's what they are:
1. Ability to enter own SQL commands but with PARAMETERS for attributes
and shapes as in the following examples:
SELECT ...
FROM my_spatial_table a
WHERE a.ATTRIBUTE = :attr
AND MDSYS.SDO_RELATE(a.shape,:polygon,'mask=anyinteract') = 'TRUE'
When executed the attribute value is asked for via a input box (data type?)
and the user is asked to define the SDO_GEOMETRY for the :polgygon parameter via mouse clicks on the screen.
Similarly, this would work for INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE...
INSERT INTO my_spatial_table (shape) values(:polygon)
The data type of an attribute parameter could be determined in two ways:
a) By querying the Oracle catalog;
b) By using a "PARAMETERS" command before the query as follows
PARAMETERS name type [(size)] [, name type [(size)] ...]
The PARAMETERS declaration has these parts:
name     The name of the parameter.
type     The type of the parameter.
size     The size of the parameter in characters or bytes.
2. When executing an SQL SELECT statement I would like the tool
to suggest the HINTS that are needed to improve performance.
3. Following on from 2, I would like to Tick an option that would return the
EXPLAIN PLAN that the query optimizer used when executing my query.
4. The tool has to support ALL Oracle's spatial vector data types.
5. It would be nice to be able to work with GeoRasters. Since Spatial Console
imports/exports shapefiles why not the same for rasters. However, the problem
with supporting foreign data formats is WHERE DO YOU STOP!!!!!
6. You could allow for the styling of the Spatial Console to be stored in the MapViewer catalogs or use the MapViewer catalogs when styling an Sdo_Geometry if it exists (I note that your tool extracts the SDO_METADATA
why not the MapViewer metadata as well)?
regards
S.

Software Management Tool

Hey everybody!
I just want to know, if anybody would also prefer a management tool for the software in the mac. 2 years ago, I used Linux. It has a management tool for the software. So you can install software easier from the web and updates for EVERY INSTALLED software can be seen in this tool. You haven't to start every tool to update. Just open the software management tool and take a look if something new is availlable.
I am interessted in your opinion.
Thx

It's not a typical Mac way-to-do ... Some months ago i've heard something about a project but it's not useful because many applications as AdobeCS3 for example needs their update clients to patch apps.
So what use of a program that search updates and notify you if there are something new but it can't update your apps?
On Linux what you're talking about is very useful because of many daily updates (for system or for apps), you can install applications from Synaptics (ubuntu) and track their updates.
Usualy Mac programmers use to add a module inside their products (located under program name on the right of apple menu) that search on app launch for updates.
If you need only System Updates they are automatic , go to Apple menu and choose Software Update
for some options.

VoIP Monitoring and Management Tools

Does anyone have suggestion on VoIP monitoring and management tools for large enterprise voip infrastructure?
We are in the final phase of 8000 phone cut-over across 2 location (2clusters) and need some advice on choosing the right monitoring system.
I saw Qovia have Cisco approved monitoring tools.
Does anyone ever use this? any suggestions or advice?
Thanks in advance
Bonaldi Kresnanto

Bonaldi,
Monitoring voice quality is just one aspect of ongoing operations. It is equally (if not more) important to have the ability to remotely troubleshoot end-user problems, manage configuration changes, and perform active testing on a regular basis before users are impacted.
In addition, whenever you make changes to your IPT system (e.g. CallManager upgrades/patches, IOS upgrades, power outages) you'll definitely want the ability to verify the system is still operating as design. Using the active tests you can do this easily and in an automated fashion.
ClarusIPC Operations is the only product that addresses these needs. It is also just as valuable during the deployment as ongoing operations to help you make changes and deploy new phones with the same product you day-to-day.
I'd like to talk to you more about the product and how it can be used in your environment.
