[SOLVED] Recommendations needed - Arch + Apache for local development

Hello,
I'm a new Arch user, and relatively new with Linux. I'm getting to like Arch very much.
I do web development, and I do most of my programming in PERL.
I have already installed perl and some tools, and I'm about to install apache. The Idea is to have the apache server just for local development and testing.
So the question is: Do you recommend me to install some firewall?
What security measurements should I take?
Is there any easy way to enable and disable Internet access to the apache server?
Thank you!

Thank you friends.
Yes, my Internet is via router. I like the Idea to set the server to listen at local address, I will try that.
Now, as I'm new to Linux and Arch, I will like to know if I should take any extra security measurements. In windows I used anti-virus + firewall all the time, and I blocked apache to access the Internet with the firewall.
I have set a strong root password, but the "normal user" has sudo. Is that secure enough?
Is there any "must have" security tools or measurements to set is a box like mine (Desktop usage + local network (3 machines) + apache for local usage and testing only)?
Is it common to get some malware, worm, trojan, spyware or some kind of phishing just by surfing the web without user "action" to install it?
I know Linux is much safer because users and permissions. I like that very much, It feels a lot safer.
Now, I have used Arch for a week or so with no firewall (router firewall is disabled also) and no anti-virus. Absolutely no special security measurements and there seems to be no log-in attempts in logfiles .. and no problems at all. Windows without firewall and anti-virus will die in a few hours just by leaving it connected to Internet....
I just wanted to ask you all (Arch users) if you normally use Firewall, and if you take some special measurement to stay free of trojans, spyware, etc...
I will appreciate your comments.
Thank you!

Where can we get GP APIs for local development?

I just realized that my local GP APIs (sap.comcafeugpapi.sda and sap.comcafeugpapi~wd.sda) are not longer valid as of SP7 due to some interface naming changes.
it'd be better if the IDE group finally incorporate the GP APIs in their build because this is a know problem for quite some time already (the missing GP APIs in NWDS).
But i'd appreciate any other ways to get them asap. Thanks, Andre

useful note Jan. thank you but only if i can get a hold of the gp apis in my local eclipse environment to reference as used Development Components for local development. Gave you the points anyway

Need some tips for Database Developer Role.

Dear All,
Next week, I'm going to face an Interview for Database Developer role.
For this, I need some more & useful information on these recommended points.

3. Analyse trends in key metrics.
4. Monitoring and optimizing the performance of the database.
Please help get the vital information on these points.
All help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

1. Involve in a designing part of Data warehouse from
scratch
Design Database...
This needs lot of information about business and its fonctionnalités, and so many.. Tables, relationships etc...

[Request] GJay -- Need Arch pkgnames for some .debs

I'm having a little trouble building GJay, because on the website it only lists the names of the debian packages needed, and I am not sure what the Arch equivalents are. I am quite fine with making the rest of the PKGBUILD once I know that though... This is what I have so far.

GL account needs to block for local currency & another cur. needs to post

Hi,
I need GL account that should block for posting in local currency, it should post other(forgien) currencies. how can i handle this scnerio.
if there is any balance,is it possiable to maintain validation.could you please let me know,how i can resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Jaya

Hi,
Though a document is created in foreign currency, system will also update the amount in local currency based on the conversion rate given in the document or maintained in OB08 table.
If your requirement is to allow only foreign currency transaction for a GL account, then write validation with the condition that - If GL account no is XXXXX, check document currency is not equal to local currency (BKPF-WAERS).

Configure NWDI for local development Server only.

Hello Gurus,
I have a Netweaver 7.0 AS JAVA + ABAP installed in my local machine.
I wanted to create a Development Track for NWDI based development, but when i go to Change Management Service for to create a track I see that CMS domain is not setup!
Can anyone help me in configuring my AS JAVA's NWDI to use only one DEV server(for practice purposes)
regards,
Ganesh

Hi,
you have 2 options.
Either you run the DI-All-in one configuration wizard from the NWA which helps you amongs others to configure the NWDI domain,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/49/11f10fcf292810e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm
Or you do it manually.

Rebuild folio for local development vs. cloud-based development

Now that the 'Preview on Device not working for iOS devices' issue is behind us how do I make my folio available locally versus being on the cloud? Do I import all 100+ articles from the cloud and recreate a local folio version? Or is there a better approach?
Tidbit:
Prior to the issue I built my folio locally and when the issues occurred I ended up uploading to the cloud to continue development as an interim solution. Working on the cloud is not practical since it consumes unecessary data usage especially for folks with a capped monthly data plan with local internet service provider.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks John. That makes sense.
One thing that I noticed since the recent fix though is when I plug in my iPad version1 via USB, the Folio Builder menu panel recognizes my iPad. However, on the iPad/ACV screen it does not show the USB blue strip on the top left corner on my app. Instead I see the lightning bolt blue strip. On the other hand if I plug my iPad mini via USB, iPad Mini/ACV shows the USB blue strip which is the expected behaviour. See attached photo.

Need Some Pointers for adapter development

All,
Can you point me some starting point, to write a adapter? We are using Adapter module to do SFTP(FTP over SSH) and trying to change it as a separete adapter.
Thank you
Ganges Leaves

Hi,
there's a sample adapter shipped with the XI
/people/gowtham.kuchipudi2/blog/2006/01/04/testing-sample-adapter
you can have a look at it
but you don't always need an adapter module
if you use it sor only a few interfaces you can do it much easier with a java proxy for instance

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

I tried
ant deployTestSuites
this works. If i do that with the wrong domain (dep_cotrol vs dep_me) name it fails with
ORABPEL-02052Cannot lookup BPEL domain.The BPEL domain "dep_cotrol" cannot be found; the domain may not have initialized properly.Please verify that the BPEL domain loader has a valid set of initialization properties in the application properties file.
So i think my config is ok. There is a bug in this ant bpelTest which ignores the domain?

Hey experts, need your recommendation on Hardware Infrastructure for PT 8.5

Hi,
One of my clients asked me to recommend Hardware Infrastructure details for the following load/traffic
1.Development Environment: 100-300+ concurrent connection (Work station connections)
2.Prod Server : 20,000+ End user concurrent connections (web connections)
Recommending amazon services is good option?
Thanks a lot

1.Development Environment: 100-300+ concurrent connection (Work station connections)Whether you may have 100-300 developpers, which seems to me quite high, are you really sure you'll have simultaneous 100-300+ developpers onto the database ? And are you sure they will all develop onto the same database (would be strange to me) ?
2.Prod Server : 20,000+ End user concurrent connections (web connections)Same question, whether you may have 20,000 end users, are you really sure they all will be connected at the same time (simultaneously) ?
Bear in mind, if you have the application available for users around the world, some may sleep when others may work, that dramatically can reduce the simultaneous connections.

Need java 1.6.0_4 for SQL developer 3.2 64bit, Win 7

Hi All
I Need java 1.6.0_4 for SQL developer 3.2 64bit, Win 7.
SQL developer behaves weirdly sometimes. It frequently drops connection, doesn;t show compile button when i open a procedure and certain other things.... I found ver 3.0 quiet stable.
I think it may be because of my incorrect java version (1.6.0). Please tell me how can I get this Java version 1.6.0_4. I checked oracle.com, version 35 is available there....
Can you please help me by providing this ?
Thanks

No - we can't provide it. You have to download it yourself. If you have trouble with the download you should report the problem to Oracle.

If you checked at the Java SE Downloads page
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Then you should have seen the 'Previous Releases' link jus above the download Icons near the top of the page.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u1-oth-JPR
All of the available prior versions are available at that link.
But I strongly suggest you heed the advice given to use the latest 1.6 version of Java available unless you have a very good reason not to.
