So what is best prctice SAP Identify Management?

When looking at a 3rd party engagement for your SAP support should you allow you Identity management go with it?
Obviously you need to keep ownership of the segregation of duties but are there any good reasons why the use admin and password management should or shouldn't be past to your support partner.
I've been looking for whit papers or similar on the subject!

I would say that Identity management could be bundled with 3rd party support as long as you have practices that verify user identitiies.  Even access management could be given to a 3rd party vendor as long as approval of access is controlled from within the organization, and that there are clearly defined authority levels.

  • What is best Creative Cloud Font Management System?

    What is the best font management app/system to use on Mac OS x with CC?

    Welcome to the forum,
    Most software are still not listing CC compatibility for feature such as auto-activation, etc., for example:
    Extensis Compatibility with Adobe Creative Cloud
    http://blog.extensis.com/auto-activation-plug-ins/extensis-compatibility-with-adobe-creati ve-cloud.php
    http://www.fontexplorerx.com/macfeatures/
    etc...
    I would suggest to contact any of the font management companies/developers directly if you have questions of compatibility concerning CC and features you may have been used to working with in the past before CC was released, to ensure your expectations are accurate when buying.

  • Whats the best practice to simply manage data using php sql?

    Hi
    I'm trying to follow some tutorials but there is too much old material and I'm getting confused.
    This is basic. I have a db and I want to movement data from flex.
    So, this is how I'm trying to do so. As a newbie, I will try to be clear.
    I have created a simple table called "teste" using myphpadmin with only 2 fields for testing.  (id, name).
    I have created the services automaticly using flex to generate a php code.
    This code is a simple exercise with buttons to add, update, and delete a Item.
    Although there is a lot of auto-generated code, I had a lot of work (due to my ignorance) to make it work.
    It fairly works, but I know veteran users would make it better, smarter, shorter, and ALL I WANT is a better (and simple) example to follow
    Please.
    Thanks in advance
    ps. I have set my table field "name" to the 'utf8_unicode_ci' while creating it and I it seems the adobe's generated php can't handle latin chars.

    Sorry - I had to read up on what a base table block was.
    I think I am. In this particular form I have one block - a customer block which has its items pulled in from the customer table, no problems there, it works fine.
    My problem is I need to make it as user friendly as possible, if the user inputs the wrong customer ID (or does not know their name) I want them to be able to scroll through the customer list using an up or down button.
    When do you have the commit_form statement run, (the OK button) after every change or after a block of changes ? Commit writes the changes to the database giving other users access to that data right ?! How often should it be used ?

  • Mixed library - managed and referenced - and not sure what's best

    I've just come back to try iPhoto after a long time away. In the old days I used it exclusively to manage my photo library but wasn't a fan of how it forced all my photos into it's slightly unfriendly folder structure in the Finder and hence sort of force me to only ever use iPhoto to manage them.
    I graduated to learning Photoshop, got a DSLR, ditched iPhoto and maintained my own folder structure on the Finder. I was happy!
    But now I've got iPhoto '08 and I see you can import to iPhoto but NOT copy to the Library. Great! So I've started loading in all my personal 'event' photos as opposed to the more arty stuff that 75% of my photos consist of. It's nice to view them in iPhoto. But now it's getting complex. Now I have some older photos from before that are managed wholesale by the app, and all these others that are allegedly only 'referenced'. So, why is the Library expanding pretty heavily? And why, if I move a photo or even delete it in the Finder, are those changes not reflected whatsoever in iPhoto. What's actually going on in that Library???
    Furthermore, some of these new photos are Adobe RGB and others are sRGB. If I want to print a photobook via iPhoto, do I need to change them all to sRGB to maintain consistent colour in the book? And does that mean deleting all the photos in iPhoto, re-saving the originals as sRGB, then re-importing the referenced files? I ask because like I say, changing the FInder-based files does not seem to reflect in iPhoto.
    So far I'm not liking this. I'm very unwilling to import duplicates into the Library, thereby doubling the space taken up by my images!

    owen-b
    Here's my 2 cents.
    Best option: let iPhoto manage the files.
    2nd best option: You manage them
    Recipe for Disaster: A mixture.
    Here's why: The folder structure in iPhoto is very plain and easy to follow (and has been since v6 - which is also when the ability to reference files came in). A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
    You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.
    Finding files is easy: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop or any editor as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically.
    If you run iPhoto outside the default setting, with referenced files, then you become responsible for all the file management. Importing and deleting are multi-stage operations and migrating to a new disk or Mac can be more complex. To be honest - and always allowing for personal preference - I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    The problem with the third option - mixed - is that it's far too easy to forget who's managing which file - you or the app - and that way, data loss lies.
    To specific questions:
    And why, if I move a photo or even delete it in the Finder, are those changes not reflected whatsoever in iPhoto.
    iPhoto is a database. Like any database it cannot know about changes you make outside of the application. Think of it this way. You hire a filing clerk, let the clerk loose organising your files. Then the clerk goes home for the day and you go into the filing room and re-arrange things. Next day you complain because the clerk can't find your files?
    If you use iPhoto referencing your files, then deleting is a two stage process. Move the files to the iPhoto trash and empty it removes them from iPhoto. Then remove them from your own filing structure. If iPhoto manages the files, trashing them in iPhoto removes them from the HD as well. Moving files around in the Finder is hiding them from the filing clerk
    So, why is the Library expanding pretty heavily?
    Check out the structure of the library as described above. In the referenced library the Originals is populated with aliases, but the Modifieds does include pics that are flagged for auto rotation.
    I'm very unwilling to import duplicates into the Library, thereby doubling the space taken up by my images!
    Understandable. So don't waste the space. Let iPhoto manage the files and trash your own structure! A big leap, perhaps too big, so think about the referenced format. However, I have to say that a mixed library increases the risk of data loss exponentially.
    I'll leave the questions on color management to those more knowledgeable than me.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards

  • Memory management - what is best way?

    Hi All,
    I was wondering what is the best way of doing certain things in SBO especially with regards to memory usage and proper memory management. If I have an edit text which I want to set a value in what would be the best way?
    Option 1:
            Dim oEdit As SAPbouiCOM.EditText
            oEdit = oForm.Items.Item("myItem").Specific
            oEdit.Value = "Hello"
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oEdit)
    Option 2:
            oForm.Items.Item("myItem").Specific.Value = "Hello"
    In the first option I declare a variable, set its value and free it. In the second option I just set the value without creating an instance of the object. Does the second option use the same amount of memory as the first (because it also refers to the same object) and it doesn't free it, or what is best?
    I have tried to test it, but couldn't get a definate answer.
    Your input is appreciated!
    Adele

    option 1 is to much of a hassle.  You should release the objects only when your using business objects, specially in row records in matrixes and when using recordsets.  Specially recordsets.

    Hi,
    Solution Manger is a central platform for all solutions.
    Its a Support hub and gateway between SAP serivce market and the customer.
    It helps in providibg tools, content, procedures,services to implement and operate the SAP solutions.
    It helps in improving the IT services for a business and reduce the Downtimes to reduce the production loss.
    It also helps in facing and solving technical risks.
    Initially to upgrade the SAP related softwares Solution manager was not in need, but in the Netweaver level to upgrade Solution manager is a must decided but SAP at Germany.
    So in a landscape Solution manager is also installed in a separate system and oneside connected to servicemarket and otherside to the landscape at your place.
    Its mostly related to Basis Part of SAP.
    I think this would give you an idea of what is SolMan.

  • What is exactly a IBASE in SAP Solution manager

    Dear all
    I'm making the configuration of service desk on SAP Solution manager, and then i have to make a set up of IBASE. Can anyone tel me what exactly is IBASE in solution manager?
    thanks
    Edited by: hchabi on Apr 1, 2010 1:45 PM

    Hi
    In solman you have SOL_MAN_DATA_REP as main IBASE or 1 and other managed systems will be attached to it as a component.
    and you can check it in IB53 by entering "1" in the initial screen
    For automatic generation you can use tcode IB_GEN and all the connected systems ibase will be generated and attached to ur ibase
    Morever theoretically,
    An installed base can be described as a multilevel structure of installed base components for managing objects (for example, devices, machines, software) that are installed, or are going to be installed on site at the customer site. An installed base can represent the reference basis for services.
    An installed base describes the hierarchical structure of these objects and their individual parts (components
    In business processes, an installed base can be referred to as a general unit or as an individual element (component).
    The set of installed objects at the customeru2019s can be used, for example:
    ·        To determine the exact object for which a problem has been reported
    ·        To determine in detail what the transaction (for example, visit by field service representative, repair by a service employee) refers to
    ·        By the service employee as information about which object is affected and the parts it consists of
    ·        For documenting changes made to objects
    Hope it helps and doubt is cleared

  • Whats the best way to manage 100s of thumbnails?

    I'm trying to build a simple photo management app in java, like Picasa2. I want to be able to scroll through 100s of thumbnails. Whats the best way to manage them from a memory standpoint?
    a) can I load up 100s of thumbnails into a JScrollPane? If so, will it do anything special to manage memory for the thumbnails that are offscreen?
    b) should I just draw up a grid of JLabels and page through them like you would in html?
    Is there another approach? Is there any special way to manage the thumbnails that are offscreen (besides loading them all in memory ) and still get a fast response time?
    BTW, if anyone wants to join me in this project, I'm happy to opensource and share.

    Because for some of us, it takes a lot longer than 5 mins. Besides, I was on someone else's computer.
    Regardless, I've implemented JList for images, and it works really well. For those of you who are following in my footsteps, the answer is:
    JList renders ImageIcons by default.
    If you want to render a JLabel with an ImageIcon set to an image, you need to write a custom ListCellRenderer, but it turns out that is not too hard. But here is a follow-up problem:
    My app has JLabels that subscribe to an ImageLoader that loads images in the background. On init() the JLabel just has the ImageIcon set to a placeholder image:
              myJLabel.imgIcon = new ImageIcon();
              myJLabel.imgIcon.setImage( myPlaceholderImage );
    However, once the actual image is loaded, I call a refresh method to set the ImageIcon to a new image:
              myJLabel.imgIcon.setImage( myLoadedBufferedImage );
    My problem is getting the JList to render the updated JLabel. Right now, I keep a reference to the JList with myJLabel and call revalidate() on refresh, but that doesn't seem very clean.
    Is there an easy/natural place to get the JList to revalidate()?
    Can I easily know which JLabels are in the viewport of the JList scrollpane? That way I could revalidate only the visible JLabels or when scrolling.

  • What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

    Hi - was looking to buy a macbook air soon but wanted to get it with lion software....anyone know when that is available and second question is what is best software for personal money management that works with lion.....use quicken now   thanks

    quicken should work with lion.
    Quicken Essentials will work with Lion.  Most people that have used Quicken for a while (i.e. Quicken 2007) have found that Quicken Essentials isn't much better than a basic spreadsheet.  It is a significant step down from previous versions and does not offer many of the features previously offered.  Right now, it seems like the two most common options are iBank and MoneyDance.
    Frankly... this is a major opportunity for these companies.  The largest commercial distributor of this type of product has been Intuit (Quicken).  That makes it hard for any other company to get any of that market as so many people were already using Quicken and may have had years of data stored in it.  Now, with Quicken effectively out of the picture, it's a great chance for another company.  Just imagine if iPhones were suddenly off the market.  That would give other manufacturers a tremendous opportunity since they wouldn't have to fight an up hill battle against a market giant.
