Service Model, Health Model, Best Practice (SML)

Hello
I am trying to explain to semi-technical people whom do not know SCOM the principle of SCOM when it come to monitoring concepts best practice.
Therefore what I am looking for please is a set of slides/short video/Q&A etc. which explains the concepts reasoning behind taking the time to workout a Service Model and Health Model at the 'start' of a project (e.g. before installing BusinessAppA)
so it can be problem monitored and alerts on etc.
Basically I am trying to get the architects/project managers to think about what I need as a SCOM engineer so I an discover and monitor etc. the Application/System they are proposing to install, rather then picking up this after the event
Does anyone know of any good resources to explain these concepts to get the message across.
Thanks All

Set filter criteria on page 1 for page 2 OData model - "best practice"?

Hello, I have a problem with an app - where I want to filter data on a second page, based on settings from the first page. I use an OData model.
The collections on both pages are not related in terms of "navigation" properties, that is my problem and I can not change the data source...
So I am looking for ideas/best practices to solve this because sometimes my filtering doesn't work... the following problem occurred: Request aborted
I have a page with a sap.m List with items="{/tabWorkPlace}" and and a local JSON model where I store relevant data during the app lifecycle.
handleListSelect - first page
var context = evt.getParameter("listItem").getBindingContext();
var dataModel = sap.ui.getCore().getModel("dataModel");
var workplace = context.getProperty("WORKPLACE_ID");
dataModel.setProperty("/WORKPLACE_ID", workplace);
this.nav.to("SubMaster", context);
The general App.controller.js handles the nav.to function:
var app = this.getView().app;
var page = app.getPage(pageId);
if(pageId == "secondPage") {
page.getController().filterData();
And the controller of the second page:
filterData: function() {
var oModel = sap.ui.getCore().getModel("odata");
var dataModel = sap.ui.getCore().getModel("dataModel");
var workplace = dataModel.getProperty("/WORKPLACE_ID");
var items = this.getView().byId("list");
var oFilter=new sap.ui.model.Filter("WORKPLACE_ID",sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.EQ,workplace);
items.getBinding("items").filter(oFilter);
I don't write this code into the onInit() or beforeRendering() function, because they are called only once and I am navigating back and forth between the two pages, because the pages are created only once and "just" the data is changed.
The desired page looks like this - with an other collection bound to it:
<List
id="list"
select="handleListSelect"
items="{/tabWorkstep_Status}"
>
But when I call it - then the request gets aborted:
The following problem occurred: Request aborted
But despite the fact the Request is aborted, the list on the second page is filtered!
The filter criteria for the model works when I type it into the browser with URL. Maybe this fails because the data binding for the list didn't took place at this phase?
I have this pattern (filter criteria on one page and result on the second page) more times - (and I think a better data model would be better with navigation properties would be better, but I cannot change it)
But at another constellation the filtering doesn't work - same error... the following problem occurred: Request aborted
I also don't want to change the pattern (page 1 to page 2) into popup lists or this fancy new filtering possibilities because it is not suitable for my use case.
Is there maybe a more elegant solution - because sometimes filtering works, sometimes don't..., do I have an error in my solution (general approach)?
Many thanks for any input!
BR,
Denise

Hello, yeah you are right, but it works without the odata> stuff because of this in App.controller.js:
var uri = "http://localhost:32006/JsonOdataService.svc";
var oModelMS = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel(uri);
sap.ui.getCore().setModel(oModelMS, "odata");
oView.setModel(oModelMS);
So my question is - how to navigate from one page to another - and on the other page first bind a collection to a select and then when selecting bind certain elements (a textfield) to the selected filtered entity.
The stuff with context and binding won't work, because the two Collections don't have a navigation/association property between them...
So for example:
page1
select a list item with property color: red and year 1985. Press one of the buttons and pass this criteria to another page.
page 2:
show a dropdown box with all car names which fullfill this criteria, and when one car is selected, then display the data for THIS car in several text fields.
This is not a master->detail navigation example, because on page 1 i select certain criterias, and then with buttons I navigate to several pages with those criterias.
But since the OData model has no relationships it is really hard to do it manually... With a dummy mock.json like in DJ Adams Fiori like SAPUI5 apps it is no problem... But with OData and no things related to each other it is hard...

Tabular Model Best Practice - use of views

Hi,
I've read in some sites that using views to get the model data is a best practice.
Is this related to the fact tables only right? Friendly names can be configured in the model, so views can be used to restrict data volume but besides from that what are the other advantages?
Model needs to know all the relation between tables, so using a unique view that combines joins to present one big view with all the data isn't useful.
Best regards

Yes, I think most people would agree that it isn't helpful to "denormalise" multiple tables into a single view. The model understands the relationships between tables and queries are more efficient with the multiple smaller related tables.
Views can be helpful in giving a thin layer of independence from the data. You might want to change data types (char() to date etc), split first/last names, trim irrelevant columns or simply isolate the model from future physical table changes.
In my view, there aren't any hard and fast rules. Do what is pragmatic and cleanest.
Hope that helps,
Richard

Data Model best Practices for Large Data Models

We are currently rolling out Hyperion IR 11.1.x and are trying to establish best practces for BQYs and how to display these models to our end users.
So far, we have created an OCE file that limits the selectable tables to only those that are within the model.
Then, we created a BQY that brings in the tables to a data model, created metatopics for the main tables and integrated the descriptions via lookups in the meta topics.
This seems to be ok, however, anytime I try to add items to a query, as soon as i add columns from different tables, the app freezes up, hogs a bunch of memory and then closes itself.
Obviously, this isnt' acceptable to be given to our end users like this, so i'm asking for suggestions.
Are there settings I can change to get around this memory sucking issue? Do I need to use a smaller model?
and in general, how are you all deploying this tool to your users? Our users are accustomed to a pre built data model so they can just click and add the fields they want and hit submit. How do I get close to that ideal with this tool?
thanks for any help/advice.

I answered my own question. in the case of the large data model, the tool by default was attempting to calculate every possible join path to get from Table A to Table B (even though there is a direct join between them).
in the data model options, I changed the join setting to use the join path with the least number of topics. This skipped the extraneous steps and allowed me to proceed as normal.
hope this helps anyone else who may bump into this issue.

Large object model best practices

Are there recommended practices for mapping large object models? Seems like there should be API support for this so that developers can automate map generation. I just can not see mapping 100s of classes by hand.
What about change management? How do folks manage schema changes?
Feel free to point me at the docs and tell me to FTFM. ;-)

Thanks for the reply James but I'm still unsure how to avoid hand mapping 100's of classes. Are you suggesting that TopLink can load my object model (1000+ classes) and generate DLL and mappings that will simply work?

ACE http health probes - best practice for interval and passdetect interval?

Hi,
Is there a recommended standard for http health probes in terms of interval and passdetect interval timings, i.e. should the passdetect interval always be less than the interval or visa versa? Can a http probe be 'mis-configured', i.e. return a 'false positive' by configuring an interval timeout thats 'incompatible' with the device it's polling?
I have a http probe for a serverfarm consisting of two Apache http servers and get intermittent 'server reply timeout' probe failures. I'm keen to ensure that the configuration of the probe isn't at fault so I can be confident that a failed probe indicates a problem with the server and not my configuration.
The probe is currently configured as below:-
probe http http-apache
interval 30
passdetect interval 15
passdetect count 6
request method get url /cs/images/ACE.html
expect status 200 304
Any advice on the subject woud be gratefully received.
thanks
Matthew

Hi Gilles,
Thanks for the advice. In another dicussion (found here https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/462397#462397) a poster has stated that:-
"(The) "Probe interval" should always be less then (open+recieve) timeout value. Default open & receive timeouts are 10 seconds."
Are you able to advise on whether the above is correct and if so, why? I currently have an interval value of 30 that obviously goes against the advice above (which I've interpretted to mean that if you leave the open & receive timeouts at their default settings your probe interval should be less than 20 seconds?).
thanks
Matthew

Health Check - Best Practice

Other than RSPCM - Process Chain Monitor (all our loads run in a process chain), is there an additional transaction I should be using to make sure that all our Infoproviders are being loaded without error?
Is there really any reason to check that the PSA statuses are green, check short dumps in ST22 and the system log in SM21?

Wardell.,
Run regular checks on the infocube indices using RSRV and also check the partitioning and is any indices have degenerated...
Also check the health of Aggregates and infocube designs...

Missing IMG steps for Best Practice CRM Service.

Dear SDN'ers,
I am working for a client and we are now implementing CRM Service.
In the Best Practice guide I found IMG step like
3.3.3.4.     Defining Time Allocation Types,
3.3.3.6     Defining Availability Template
3.3.3.8     Defining Service Area
etc.
However I cannot find these corresponding transactions in SPRO. They all refer to the path Customer Relationship Management  Workforce Deployment  WFD Server  Business Settings for WFD Server  only In our system this path doesn't excist. It calls IMG transaction like WFM_001 but the system doesn't recognize this IMG activity.
Please can anybody help me?
Kind regards,
Niels

Hi,
Have you carried out the prerequisite steps?
Also chk this path in SPRO
Customer Relationship Management>Transactions>Settings for Service Processes>Settings for Service Resource Planning>WFM Core-->Make Settings for the WFM Core.
And also ensure that no RFC connection has been assigned to the WFM Core if you are using it as an add-on in SAP CRM.

PePe

Best Practice - HCM service

Hi,
    The ESS latest package was uploaded initially into the portal. This package consists of mostly the Webdynpro iviews.
    Later it was decided to use the Best practice, so it is uploaded. Now all the services provided in the Best practice is available in one common folder, except for the ESS. The iviews available in this Best practice are mostly the transaction iviews.
    My query is that, why the HCM (ESS) services are not there under the best practice folder? Is it due to the already uploaded ESS package? What should i do to avail the HCM services of the best practice?
It's urgent. plz help. All useful answers will be rewarded.

ESS MSS Best Practice Methods

When implementing employee self service and manager self service what are the best practices when creating ids? Do most use active directory? Or employee Ids and or generated numbers?
Or would it be beneficial to use Employee IDs so that ABAP programming could make updates automatically?
I would like to know what the best methods some may recommend.
Thanks.

Thanks for clarifying!
Most companies which I have observed use the AD alias, which is also the email address SMTP name and easier to associate to the IT 0105 pernr via the employee first name and last name, and that in the user master address data as well.
First 7 characters are last name, last character is first character of first name, etc => 'BUSSCHEJ'
But then again, if your AD name is a generated number or cryptic value, then why not call yourself S123456789 like here at SDN, or R2D2 for that matter.
Using the pesonnel number is another option, but you should first check where else it is used. Perhaps it is like the US Social Security Number, which is meant to be kept "top secret" like a password...
