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?

I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family. I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases. I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet. My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses. I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work. However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account. Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses. Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Same apple id for multiple devices

I have been use the same apple id for multiple devices (both are iPhones running iOS 6 - one is a 4, the other a 4S.) I'd like to sync separate content for each device using the same instance of iTunes (iTunes V 10.7 installed on MacBook running OS X 10.6.8.) Can I assign the second device a separate apple id in odrer to differentiate the content? Thanks for your assistance!

No, a second Apple ID will not work. iTunes can already tell them apart.
When you connect the first iPhone to iTunes, check and uncheck the things you want and Sync.
Do the same with the second iPhone.

Can I use the same Apple ID for multiple devices

Can I use the same Apple ID for multiple devices?

Yes. Up to five devices can be authorized on a single computer using the same Apple ID. You can also use the same Apple ID on multiple devices is they are all going to use the same iTunes Library by the same user. But it's ill-advised if multiple users are involved who wish to keep their devices separate from the devices belonging to other users.
How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

You need to give more info..
Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
Change it to working as a router. That might help.
If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

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.

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.

Integrating Multiple systems - best practice

Hi,
I need to integrate the following scenario let me know the best practice with steps.
Scenario is end to end syncrhonous
A system(supports open tech i.e webservice client) => SAP PI<=>Oracle(call stored procedure) => Update in ECC=> Reponse back to A system (source)
Thanks
My3

Hi Mythree,
First get the request from the web service to pi and then map to stored procedure using synchronous send step (Sync Send1) in bpm and get the response back. Once when you get the response back from oracle then use another synchronus send step. Here take the response from the database and map to ecc (use either a proxy or rfc) which is Sync Send2 in the bpm and get the udpdates back. Once when you get the response back send back the response to source system. The steps in BPM would be like this:
Start --> Receive --> Sync Send1 --> Sync Send2 --> Send --> Stop
These blogs might be useful for this integration:

Fixed Layout EPUB - for multiple devices

We are looking to create an EMAGAZINE or EPUB with a fixed layout for employee benefit guides that will be viewed on multiple devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile - both PC and MAC devices) and I am wondering what is the best style to use to accomplish this? With the new fixed layout EPUB, it creatively meets our needs, but will it work on a PC? Or tablet that is not Apple?
What are the best options for a picture heavy/table heavy online "book" created in InDesign?
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi Jamie,
Yes you can view your fixed layout epubs on a PC/tablet, there are multiple fixed layout readers available on devices. For PC there is Readium that is a Chrome extension.
Thanks

Rip/ Encode DVD for multiple devices

I have multiple iOS devices (iPad; Apple TV 2; iPhone 4; iPhone 3GS) and want to rip/ encode a DVD so I can view it on all my devices. I do not care about HD.
I know that the 3GS has the lowest video settings. What would be the best settings for these devices? I know H.264 works but it is the other settings I do know about. Does Handbrake's Apple TV 2 setting work for all my devices. However, I would prefer not using Handbrake so what are the max video settings for the following I could use: Resolution? Frame Rate? Bit Rate?
I understand this question could fit in a number of different topics but I figured I would start here.

I have the original Apple TV, and based in the default Apple device settings included with HandBrake, I have found using the default original Apple TV settings works well with all my devices - with my original Apple TV (obviously), with my MacBook Pro, with my no longer activated iPhone 3G used as an iPod Touch, and with my iPhone 4.
Why would you prefer not using Handbrake and what do you plan on using instead?
As a test, use the default Apple TV 2 settings with Handbrake and see how it turns out for you and if to your liking with your iPad, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4 as well.

Responsive project slow on mobile devices compared to standard project

Hi,
I'm working on a responsive project and noticed that loading a slide on a mobile device is taking about 5 seconds.    I've created the same project as a standard captivate project with a 360X480 dimension.   Loading the same slide takes less than 1 second.
Does anyone have any experience or tips on the performance differences between project structures?   I can imagine the responsive project has a lot more to do in the background, but was hoping that displaying a slide would be faster.
The slide in question uses 6 smart shapes as question buttons which display answers when clicked using a Show/Hide advanced interaction.   There are a couple of text captions and a back button.   No images, audio, etc.
Looking forward to any feedback or experiences that support or contradict what I am seeing.
Thanks in advance for the input.
-Jon

Hi Jon,
I replicated the details you mentioned above and tried it on a mobile device (iPhone 5) and I cannot see a vast difference in the time taken to load a slide for either project.
May I know which mobile device are you using, and if it is Android or iOS?
Thanks,
Mohana

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).

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

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.
