SAP Adapter Best Practice Question for Deployment to Clustered Environment

I have a best practices question on the iway Adapters around deployment into a clustered environment.
According to the documentation, you are supposed to run the installer on both nodes in the cluster but configure on just the first node. See below:
Install Oracle Application Adapters 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) on both machines.
Configure a J2CA configuration as a database repository on the first machine.
Perform the required changes to the ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml files before deployment.
This makes sense to me because once you deploy the adapter rar in the next step it the appropriate rar will get staged and deployed on both nodes in the cluster.
What is the best practice for the 3rdParty adapter directory on the second node? The installer lays it down with the adapter rar and all. Since we only configure the adapter on node 1, the directory on node 2 will remain with the default installation files/values not the configured ones. Is it best practice to copy node 1's 3rdParty directory to node 2 once configured? If we leave node 2 with the default files/values, I suspect this will lead to confusion to someone later on who is troubleshooting because it will appear it was never configured correctly.
What do folks typically do in this situation? Obviously everything works to leave it as is, but it seems strange to have the two nodes differ.

What is the version of operating system. If you are any OS version lower than Windows 2012 then you need to add one more voter for quorum.

SAP Adapter Best Practice Question for Migration of Channels

I have a best practice question on the SAP adapter when migrating an OSB project from one environment (DEV) to another (QA).
If my project includes an adapter channel that (e.g., Inbound SAP Proxy listening on a channel), how do I migrate that project to another environment if the channel in the target environment is different.
I tried using the search and replace mechanism in the sbconsole, but it doesn't find the channel name in the jca and wsdl files.
What is the recommended way to migrate from one environment to the other when the channel name changes?

Best Practice/Validation for deploying a Package to Azure

Before deploying a package to Azure, What kind of best practice/Validation can be done to know the Package compatibility with Azure Enviroment?

What do you mean by the compatibility of the azure package with the azure environment? what do you want to validate? would be great if you provide bit of a background for your question.
As far as the deployment best practice is concerned, the usual way is to upload your azure cloud service deployment package and configuration files (*.cspkg and *.cscfg) to the blob container first and upload it to the cloud service by referring from uploaded
container. This will not only give you flexibility to keep different versions of your deployments which you can use to roll back entire service but also the process of the deployment will be comparatively faster than that of deploying from VS or by uploading
manually from file system.

Best practice question for Bounded task flows

We are new to Jdeveloper/ADF and I was wondering if we should always try to use a bounded task flow for our applications... is this considered the best way to develop an app? even the small single page ones?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
let me turn teh question around: How many tools do you have at home beside of a hammer ? In other words, its the problem you need to solve (and use cases are problems) that should determine the use of bounded task flows and its granularity. Note that for each use case the bounded task flow makes a good candidate for delivering it. Doesn't mean that every single page needs to go into its own task flow. For general bounded best practices have a look here

Best practice question for implementing a custom component

I'm implementing a custom component which renders multiple <input type="text" .../> controls as part of it. The examples I've seen that do something similar use the ResponseWriter to generate the markup "by hand" like:
     writer.startElement("input", component);
     writer.writeAttribute("type", "text", null);
     writer.writeAttribute("id", "foo", null);
     writer.writeAttribute("name", "foo", null);
     writer.writeAttribute("value", "hello", null);
     writer.writeAttribute("size", "20", null);
     writer.endElement("input");
I don't know about anyone else, but I HATE having to write code that manufactures this stuff - seems to me that there are already classes that do this, so why not just use those? For example, the above could be replaced with:
     HtmlInputText textField = new HtmlInputText();
     textField.setId("foo");
     textField.setValue("hello");
     textField.setSize(20);
     // just to be safe, invoke both encodeBegin() and encodeEnd(),
     // though it seems like encodeEnd() actually does the work in this case,
     // but who knows if they might change it at some point
     textField.encodeBegin(context);
     textField.encodeEnd(context);
So my question is, why does everyone seem to favor the former over the latter? Why not leverage objects that already do the (encoding) work for you?

Got it!
You JSP should have this:
<h:panelGroup styleClass="jspPanel" id="jspPanel1"></h:panelGroup>
And your code page ValueChangeListener/ActionListner should have this:
          if (findComponent(getForm1(),"myOutputText") == null)
               FacesContext facesCtx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
               System.out.println("Adding component");
               HtmlOutputText output =
                    (HtmlOutputText) facesCtx.getApplication().createComponent(
                         HtmlOutputText.COMPONENT_TYPE);
               output.setId("myOutputText");
               output.setValue("It works");
               getJspPanel1().getChildren().add(output);
               System.out.println("Done");
               DebugUtil.printTree(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot(),System.out);
          else
               System.out.println("component already added");
I just have to figure out this IOException on the closed stream - probably has to do with [immidiate="true"].
Thanks.

Best practice question for Availability Groups setup

I have created a 2012 WFC with 2 nodes (server 1 and server2). Each node will host 2 instance of SQL Server 2014. I am planning to use 2 Availability Groups.
So
Server1\instance A
Server1\instance B
Server2\instance A
Server2\instance B
Thus "instance A" will have AG_A
instance B will have AG_B,
What is the recommend configuration for configuring the Quorum witness? A file share or disk witness? Note that the WFC does not have any shared disks since I'm only using AG (not a clustered SQL server service).
Thanks,
Pete

Best Practice Question for Date Compares

Hello,
I'm far from an expert on Oracle and PL/SQL, so I may have this all wrong. I'm working on some selection scripts, and the guy that wrote these before me likes to convert parts of dates to numbers in order to do a compare. It seems to me a trunc(date, part) would be much more efficient. Can anyone confirm my thoughts here?
I'm seeing this a lot:
AND TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (scheduleddate, 'YYYY')) = TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (SYSDATE - 1, 'YYYY'))
Seems to me that I'd be better off just doing:
trunc(scheduleddate, 'YEAR') = trunc(SysDate, 'YEAR').
Does that make sense?
Thanks!
Chad

however , you might want to play around with it a bit to confirm you get the behavior you want in your context. I've not had much reason to use trunc, and in testing a few things just now to reply to admin1, I got some results that surprised me. Another little learning project for me now.
But I stand behind the essence of my original reply. The guy that wrote your original code was jumping through too many hoops (transform functions).

Where do I find rawio mentioned in "Best Practices: PreReqs for RAC instal"

Hello,
In the document "Best Practices: PreRequisites for Real Application Clusters Installation with SAN Storage", a pointer to http://otn.oracle.com/tech/linux/content.html is advised for the "rawio" utility.
Where can I find it? I really have no clue on where to find this tool on the website.
//magnus

Magnus,
please check out the Oracle's linux projects at
http://oss.oracle.com/
specificaly the OCFS project
the Lib- AIO project might also shed some light.
OCFS allows you to experience near RAW IO performance, without the headache of managing RAW volumes.

ECATT: SAP's Best Practice For eCATT

Hello All,
If multiple projects are handled on same server, then the master data keep on changing due to which the screen sequences of transactions may change and hence causing the failure of earlier automated eCATT scripts.
What is the best practice recommended by SAP for such situation both in long term as well as short term considering project deadlines?
Thanks & Regards.

Hi SAP Developer,
as far as I know there are no best practice guides for that from SAP.
But from common experience in automating testing one can propose:
For long term:
- organize your processes to be tested aligned as a number of szenarios; do a test case design also incorporating test data to be used; on that base derive (master) data that can be used in common by all szenarios; all other data should be used from single szenarios exclusively;
- use scripts also for creation of (master) data;
- try to use internal number assignment or create numbers in your eCATT script, so that every process run uses new new data accroding it's needs
- try to check customizing using CHETAB or BC Sets, stop the process if important settings are not there
The target of all this is to ensure, that neither customizing nor master data properties can raise different screen sequences.
Another option is to make your scripts more flexible regarding 'small' sequence changes like upcomming popups etc. when using SAPGUI command. This can be achieved by setting the 'Active' option of 'ProcessedScreen' elements.
If you use 'O' like optional, eCATT will only process the ProcessedScreen branch if the programm and dynpro number are matching the screen currently shown by SAP Gui.
Hope I could help a bit.
Best regards
Jens

SAP ASE Best Practice latest update

Hello experts,
just wondering if somebody already reviewed thoroughly latest guide for best practices on SAP Sybase ASE?
I am talking about the document from note 1680803 - SYB: Migration to SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise - Best Practice (former note 1722359 - SYB: Running SAP applications on SAP ASE - Best Practice).
The guide for normal runtime operation was merged with the guide for migration, but there are some contradictory statements.
Apart from that the study case is again designed for server with huge memory and lot of CPU cores (so not so real case normally, I wonder who setup so often such huge servers...), I have found some inconsistencies.
E.g. in part "Reconfigure Engines and Parallel Processing", they talk about to limit ASE engines to 16, but the command configures 32.
alter thread pool syb_default_pool with thread count = 32, idle timeout = 2000
No change to the previous setup for migration. Is this just typo? I understand it should be 16, and then also number of network tasks for normal operation would be 4 (as mentioned in the beginning of guide that normally you set up 1 per 3-4 engnes). If this is not typo, then number of network tasks is wrong as it should be 8.
Also they introduced idle timeout, but only talking about ERP and possible lower value for Solman - does this mean that for BW you keep default value (which if I am not mistaken is 100)? As per ADM540 you should even decrease this timeout when SAP system is sharing server with database - I know that document is old, but is again contradictory, not saying that it is wrong, but not well explained.
If anybody checked new version of guide, please let me know, I think it is bit messed up and is bit difficult to distinguish what you should set up for migration case and what for normal operation case.
Thanks!
Regards,
Matus

Actually, quite a few customers run with that many engines/memory.   In fact, it is difficult these days to even buy a server with less than 128GB of memory and 16 cores/32 threads.    Pretty much the only time we see less is when the install is in a VM.   Interestingly, we had comments from the first version suggesting the numbers were not realistic given the typical size of systems being deployed were much larger....    In addition, in my experience with customers on SAP systems, they were not aware of how much memory was necessary to really support medium to large systems based on the configurations they were attempting.
I am sorry that you feel some of the examples are contradictory. You are correct in pointing out that the text refers to 16 engines and the example configures 32....   So yes, for that specific example, it should have been 16.
Secondly, not having seen ADM540, but I think there is a bit of a problem if they suggest that.   I my opinion (and I have spent a lifetime tuning ASE), the idle timeout for ERP and BW should likely both be 1000+ and 2000 is not unreasonable.   The comment in ADM540 is likely due to if ASE and a NW CI are sharing the same cores - e.g. you have a 4 core box and ASE is running on 2 cores (we will ignore threads for this discussion) and you have 30 NW worker processes - which obviously will need to bump ASE off the cpu in order to run.   This may be fine in a test/dev or even a solution manager system, but bumping ASE off the core is NOT a good thing for a production system. In fact, I would encourage using numactl or similar to fence off the the cores used for ASE from NW worker processes if at all possible.   We have seen cases of overloaded NW installations with multiple CI instances with hundreds of worker processes each starving cpu away from ASE......sooo....I would tend to actually be a bit more than firm on suggesting that 100 is a very bad starting point.   Given the number of client side joins that SAP uses to avoid [DBMS proprietary] temp tables, it is critical that ASE's (or any DBMS) response time be minimized as much as possible.....having ASE yield the core practically as soon as it gets done processing one task (and puts it to sleep pending an IO) just really causes things to run slow.   Think of a typical query that returns 10 rows - say wide enough that each row fills 1 packet.   If the packet transmit time (and client ACK) takes more than 100 microseconds on CPU (almost a given for network interactions...as clock ticks are in nanoseconds and networking is minimally milliseconds - 1000 microseconds), ASE would yield the CPU every time it sent a packet.    When the client wanted the next packet, the OS would have to wake up the ASE process (an interrupted sleep) which is a nasty heavy weight operation.   Hence it is best for ASE to hang out on the CPU until reasonably sure that nothing more is going to happen very soon....and on current cpus...and having it run for 1-2ms (1000-2000 microseconds) shouldn't be a hardship.     If you created a separate thread pool for batch worker processes, then I could see maybe using a lower idle timeout such as 200 or 250......100 is just plain too low in my mind...it is like saying ASE is expecting an odd query every few seconds vs. a steady workload. Basically at that level, there had better be a task in the ASE job queue or one on the way on the network already, or that engine is going to sleep.
While I state that with regards to ADM540 itself, I have not seen the class (perhaps)...one customer did show me the notebook of a class (ASE Sys Admin) they went to and it was really targeted at non-SAP installations more than SAP installations - from a reality/experience aspect.   Part of the issue with the class the customer showed me was it borrowed liberally from the old SY classes as a starting point, but at the point the class was developed there was not a lot of experience with running SAP installations on ASE to really point out the fine tweaking areas such as idle timeout.
However, the document was really aimed primarily at Business Suite vs. BW systems or a Solution Manager install (which are much smaller) - there are a lot of other considerations for BW the guide doesn't get into - although some of the sizing is a better start than the defaults provided by SAPINST
The former runtime guide essentially was just merged in to the Post-Migration Steps section.
May do a quick refresh in the near-future (due to some recent experiences), so if you have other specific examples of the text and SQL not aligning - please let me know.

What is the best practice in securing deployed source files

hi guys,
Just yesterday, I developed a simple image cropper using ajax
and flash. After compiling the package, I notice the
package/installer delivers the same exact source files as in
developed to the installed folder.
This doesnt concern me much at first, but coming to think of
it. This question keeps coming out of my head.
"What is the best practice in securing deployed source
files?"
How do we secure application installed source files from
being tampered. Especially, when it comes to tampering of the
source files after it's been installed. E.g. modifying spraydata.js
files for example can be done easily with an editor.

Hi,
You could compute a SHA or MD5 hash of your source files on
first run and save these hashes to EncryptedLocalStore.
On startup, recompute and verify. (This, of course, fails to
address when the main app's swf / swc / html itself is
decompiled)

Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR

What is the Oracle Best Practice for install/deployment and configuration of ODI 11g for Disaster Recovery?
We have a project that is using Oracle ODI 11g (11.1.1.5).
We have configured all the other Oracle FMW components as per the Oracle DR EDG guides. Basically using the Host ip name/aliasing concept to ‘trick’ the secondary site into thinking
it is primary and continue working with minimal (or no) manual reconfiguration. But will this work for ODI? The FMW DR guide has sections for SOA, WebCenter and IdM, but nothing for ODI.
Since ODI stores so much configuration information in the Master Repository..when this DB gets ‘data guarded’ to the secondary site and promoted to Primary…ODI will still think it is at the ‘other’ site. Will this break the actual agents running the scenarios?
Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR ODI properly?
We are looking for a solution that will allow a graceful switchover/failover with minimal manual re-configuration.

Hi all,
I m currently testing external components with Windows Server and I want to test Oracle 11g R2.
The only resource I have is this website and the only binaries seem to be for Linux OS.You have one other HUGE resource that, while it won't answer your current question, you'd better start getting familiar with if you are going to use Oracle. That is the complete and official documentation, found at tahiti.oracle.com

Does anybody know how I can upgrade my Oracle 11.1.0.7 version to the R2 release?
Thanks,

Development System Backup - Best Practice / Policy for offsite backups

Hi, I have not found any recommendations from SAP on best practices/recommendations on backing up Development systems offsite and so would appreciate some input on what policies other companies have for backing up Development systems. We continuously make enhancements to our SAP systems and perform daily backups; however, we do not send any Development system backups offsite which I feel is a risk (losing development work, losing transport & change logs...).
Does anyone know whether SAP have any recommendations on backuping up Development systems offsite? What policies does your company have?
Thanks,
Thomas

Thomas,
Your question does not mention consideration of both sides of the equation - you have mentioned the risk only. What about the incremental cost of frequent backups stored offsite? Shouldn't the question be how the 'frequent backup' cost matches up with the risk cost?
I have never worked on an SAP system where the developers had so much unique work in progress that they could not reproduce their efforts in an acceptable amount of time, at a acceptable cost. There is typically nothing in dev that is so valuable as to be irreplaceable (unlike production, where the loss of 'yesterday's' data is extremely costly). Given the frequency that an offsite dev backup is actually required for a restore (seldom), and given that the value of the daily backed-up data is already so low, the actual risk cost is virtually zero.
I have never seen SAP publish a 'best practice' in this area. Every business is different; and I don't see how SAP could possibly make a meaningful recommendation that would fit yours. In your business, the risk (the pro-rata cost of infrequently needing to use offsite storage to replace or rebuild 'lost' low cost development work) may in fact outweigh the ongoing incremental costs of creating and maintaining offsite daily recovery media. Your company will have to perform that calculation to make the business decision. I personally have never seen a situation where daily offsite backup storage of dev was even close to making any kind of economic sense.
