SSIS 2012 Deployment Standards/Best Practices

Hi guys! I've been tasked with creating a set of standards for SSIS 2012, more specifically surrounding deployment standards. Is there any guide or something I can read for best practices so I can put a document together. Appreciate your
help!

None that I am aware of because it largely is constrained by the business rules, project requirements, etc.
In my view, use the Project Deployment Model, automation from the PowerShell side, protect the sensitive data, use domain proxies to run packages, sensitive variables, use baselining, get periodic health checks done.

Standard/best practice of Naming for MM authorisations

Dear All,
Can anybody please send the document related standard/best practice for naming convention for MM roles in authorisation.
As we want to redo the authorisation system for a Client right from the scratch.(Already having SAP).
to have an idea on standard/best practice of giving naming convention,i need the connected document.
Can any body please send to my mail id: [email protected]
Advance thanks.
Regards,
Dayanand

Dear,
Usually the role nomenclature is for the company as a whole
Hence the std way is as below
XX- 2 leter to repsenet the module
XXXXXXXXXXXX-To represent the function(example-phy inv)
XXXX-to repsent the plant it is applicable
XXXX-to present- is it create/change/display/execute....
XXXX- to repsent the variant
hence it is as below
Role is as below
XX:XXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX

SQL 2012 service accounts best practice

I'm installing SQL Server 2012 for ConfigMgr 2012 r2 and I wonder what is the best practice for SQL service accounts.
During the installation of SQL Server, in the server configuration/Service accounts menu I'm allowed to configure following service accounts: SQL Server Agent, SQL Server Agent Database Engine, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server Browser.
Do I have to create separate domain user (not admin) accounts for each service and configure service principal name (SPN) for all of them?
For example: Domain user account named SQLSA for SQL Server Agent, another domain user account
SQLADBE for SQL Server Agent Database Engine etc.

During the installation of SQL Server 2012, the user is prompted to provide service account
credentials. The default service accounts suggested vary depending on whether SQL Server
2012 is installed on a computer running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 or on a computer
running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. On computers running Windows Vista
or Windows Server 2008 operating systems, the following default service accounts are used:
- NETWORK SERVICE Database Engine, SQL Server Agent, Analysis Services,
Integration Services, Reporting Services, SQL Server Distributed Replay Controller,
SQL Server Distributed Replay Client
- LOCAL SERVICE SQL Server Browser, FD Launcher (Full-Text Search)
- LOCAL SYSTEM SQL Server VSS Writer
On computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems, the following
default accounts are used:
- Virtual Account or Managed Service Account Database Engine, SQL Server Agent,
Analysis Services, Integration Services, Replication Services, SQL Server Distributed
Replay Controller, SQL Server Distributed Replay Client, FD Launcher (Full-Text Search)
- LOCAL SERVICE SQL Server Browser
- LOCAL SYSTEM SQL Server VSS Writer
For Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, you can use a Managed Service Account
(MSA) or a Managed Local Account. The differences between these account types are as
follows:
- Managed Service Account (MSA) This special kind of domain account managed
by a domain controller is assigned to a single member computer and used for running
services. The MSA password is managed by the domain controller. MSAs can register
a Service Principal Name (SPN) with Active Directory. MSAs use a $ name suffix; for
example, CONTOSO\SQL-A-MSA$. You must create the MSA prior to running SQL
Server Setup if you want to use an MSA with SQL Server services.
- Virtual Accounts or Managed Local Accounts These virtual accounts can access
the network in a domain environment and are used by default for service accounts
during SQL Server 2012 setup when run on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
Such accounts use the NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>format. You don’t need to specify
a password when using virtual accounts with SQL Server 2012 because this is handled
automatically by the operating system.
You should run SQL Server services, using the minimum possible user rights, and use an
MSA or virtual account when possible. If you are manually configuring service accounts, use
separate accounts for different SQL Server services. If it is necessary to change the properties
of service accounts used for SQL Server 2012, use SQL Server tools such as SQL Server
Configuration Manager. This ensures that all necessary dependencies are
updated, which does not happen if you use only the Services console.
Although you can configure domain accounts as service accounts, this strategy requires
more effort because you must ensure that service account passwords are changed regularly.
You must also manage SPNs, which are required for Kerberos authentication.

Oracle BPEL standard, best practice and naming convention

Hi, folks,
Is there any standard or best practice associated with Oracle BPEL, regarding development, performace, what to avoid, etc? And is there any naming convention for the process, variable partner link name, etc? Similar to naming convention in writing Java code?
Thanks

ADF Deployment Granularity - Best Practices

Hi People,
If anyone can spare some time to discuss this, I would like some pointers about ADF applications deployment best practices. For example, we have some customers that complain about having to re-deploy the entire application EAR just to add a field "rendered" condition on a single page, and also having to re-deploy the ADF BC model JARs even though the application has only been changed on the view layer.
What level of deployment granularity can we JDeveloper + ADF developers provide to our customers, without the risk of having inconsistency or dependency problems? So far, our strategy is to deploy the BC Model layer to separate JARs and the View Layer in a WAR file, packaging everything in an EAR. Is it feasible to allow the developers to change one single page and generate a deployment archive for just that single page? If not, which arguments can i provide in a discussion to support the single-deployment point of view?
Thanks for your time, and regards!
Thiago

Hi Thiago
Interesting question and one that comes up from time to time with JEE applications. I've been doing some research on this issue, and recently blogged about how OC4J and BEA Weblogic handles this scenario. Hopefully the post and reference to the OTN post gives you more information, though I'd be interested if you're research reveals a different approach.
I'm also hoping this issue comes up at the OOW ADF Methodology chat among the JDev experts, it would be good for the experts to share their different approaches to this common issue.
I know this doesn't give you a direct answer but hopefully will be useful.
Cheers,
CM.

Ssis 2012: deployment heartburn

Has anyone seen a symptom when creating an SSIS job step, the environment checkbox is unavailable and the connections are still tied to a previous environment even though the ssisdb catalog is there with the environment settings in place.
as an aside, i deployed the projects from tfs/vs2010.
is there anywere i can look to tell where ssis may think there's a fixed connection?

@buddylee17, the very short answer to this is yes.
Here's my story: I set up my job agents before I set up the environment location\parameters in the Integration Services Catalogs. This happened because I scripted the job agents that I created in the development environment and imported/ran the scripts on
my test server. If your story is similar, script out and save your job agents into files. Go back and create the Project(s) and the Environment(s) folder locations in the Integration Services Catalog. Redeploy. If your development env defaults have arrived
as the catalog values--or no env values have arrived, add/modify the values. Run the files of the agent job scripts. The grayed out environment checkbox will show up as empty, but no longer grayed out. Click and pick. The folder location should show up.
You may not need this link, but here it is in case you do.
Setting up the Integration Services Catalog Folders
If this works for you, please mark this as the answer--since I just happened upon this by accident, I can't be sure this is the "fix" until you give it a try! :)

Deployment guide / best practices for CR 2008 on Vista

Post Author: plokolp
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi there,
Is there a deployment guide for application developers who need to deploy CR2008 as part of their application? There seems to be scattered information around the website, however it would be good to have an official, consolidated document that simply outlines what's needed for this situation.
At the moment I'm trying to find information about whether to use a merge module, or the .msi. This .msi seems to deploy a whole lot of stuff that simply isn't needed for simply displaying reports within an application, yet BO seem to say this is the best method for deployment? This turns a relatively small install package into a monster!
If it talked about Vista Certification also that would be great also.
Thanks,
Rod

SCCM 2012 R2 Driver - Best Practices on Updating Driver Packages?

Example the new Surface Drivers were Release We are currently using September what is the best way to update the drivers? If Import it shows multiple drivers old and new... Thoughts? Blog Post?

No. You must always import drivers to be able to either one of the Apply Driver task types in a task sequence.
However, you can also run a driver installer provided by the vendor as a package because the driver installer is a generic exe that does whatever its supposed to do outside the control of ConfigMgr.
Note that although you can't use an Auto Apply Driver task in stand-alone media, you can absolutely use an Apply Driver Package in stand-alone media. In general, most folks do not rely on Auto Apply but instead rely on Apply Driver Package for multiple reason.

HyperV 2012 best practice question (storage of guests)

I was reading this post:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/03/10/windows-server-2012-hyper-v-best-practices-in-easy-checklist-form.aspx
and I saw two things, one where it says fiber channel is not support and one where is says loopback is not support?
so my question is for a best practice, would local storage (say a local attached raid 10) be considered best practice? or a shared
san lun? and if a san, would virtual stuff like IBMs SVC be supported?

Using a SoFS with SMB3 as a Storage for Hyper-V and SQL Server/Clusters is Microsoft Nr.1 and you will see more and more push for that Design in every next Version.
The TOP Features for me in that Combo is, you get 100% of all Features on Day One when new Version comes out, within Microsoft SMB 3.x are some realy sexy Things in it and you can use all the Standard Ethernet Stuff yu have and know already for years. If
you Need super Speed you can do that with some RDMA Cards, still Ethernet :-) and if you do a Live Migration between any Combo of Clusters and Single Nodes you never Need to move the Data and Config Files :-) they always stay on
\\SoFS\VMs :-)
All Information you need are on http://smb3.info , Jose, my Mr. SoFS collects and blogs about all Features and Step-by-Step Guides to test and prove that even on one sinlge Notebook, very very cool.
As a Backend fot the SoFs you have many choices, from the new Wave of JBODs togehter with Storage Spaces up to the old Style SAN Boxes with or without Special Features. Allways check the Windows Server Catalog for supported Confgs, specially on the JBOD
Side, make sure you get one with R2 Support und also with SES Support (SCSI Enclosure Services ). Jose also Blogs about that Topics very well.

Hyper-V Cluster up to 64 Nodes and SoFS up to 8 Nodes depending on your Scaling Needs and having Storage splitted over separat DataCenters should be a good start :-)
Just let me know of you need some Advice after doing a Design Session.

Best Practices for standardizing long text for EP GUI version

Hello, I have a question that is related to standardizing best practices for all portal applications that use EP
1) The portal team has recommended activating the GUI version from portal to allow the long text to have the same features as the standard GUI. Since this solution is per transaction, we will need to identify what transactions need to have this temporary solution built in. Also, business users will need to remember which transactions they will access via portal or GUI.
(2) Even though the long text function is activated via GUI per transaction, the system will prompt a message of u201CRuntime Error! Program C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXEu201D. This may create frustrations to the users each time they maintain the long text. The risk of this may be losing the use of long text throughout the maintenance orders, production orders, notifications, material masters, equipment masters, maintenance task lists, production routings, etc.
All feedback welcomed
Thanks Mark

I found the solution, make everything in Illustrator (well text anyway) at a big size then bring it ibto Photoshop in a dicument 1024 x 576 (so no widescreen pixel ratio) then when saving document bring size of Image to 720 x 576 then you get great anti aliased pictures.
Solved.

Best Practices - VMware ESX 4.0 in a Cisco Environment?

Hello,
I'm presently designing a VMware ESX 4.0 deployment and integrating it with our Cisco environment. I've found the following document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Data_Center/vmware/VMware.html "VMware Infrastructure 3 in a Cisco Network Environment" and I was just wondering if there was a newer document applicable to ESX 4.x or if these best practices still applied?
I'm particularly interested in proper vlan design for the various port-groups with in ESX and etherchannel configuration between ESX hosts and Cisco switches.
Thanks,
Rob

Well, in that this is a Storage group, I'll answer froma storage noetworking point of view.
ESX hosts are no different to any other host, Just stick with the standard best practice of single initiator zoning and you'll be fine.
As a slight aside, from an array point of view, I've tended to configure all the pWWN's of the whole cluster into one "host" definition, as this makes LUN mapping easier.

Database Administration - Best Practices

Hello Gurus,
I would like to know various best practices for managing and administering Oracle databases. To give you all an example what I am thinking about - for example, if you join a new company and would like to see if all the database conform to some kind of standard/best practices, what would you look for - for instance - are the control files multiplexed, are there more than one member for each redo log group, is the temp tablespace using TEMPFILE or otherwise...something of that nature.
Do you guys have some thing in place which you use on a regular basis. If yes, I would like to get your thoughts and insights on this.
Appreciate your time and help with this.
Thanks
SS

I have a template that I use to gather preliminary information so that I can at least get a glimar of what is going on. I have posted the text below...it looks better as a spreedsheet.

As for "Best" practices, well I think that you know the basics from your posting but a lot of it will also depend on the individual system and how it is integrated overall.
Some thoughts I have for best practices:
Backups ---
1) Nightly if possible
2) Tapes stored off site
3) Archives backed up through out day
4) To Disk then to Tape and leave backup on disk until next backup
Datafiles ---
1) Depending on hardware used.
a) separate datafiles from indexes
b) separate high I/O datafiles/indexes on dedicated disks/lungs/trays
2) file names representative of usage (similar to its tablespace name)
3) Keep them of reasonable size < 2 GB (again system architecture dependent)
Security ---
At least meet DOD - DISA standards where/when possible

Best practice for external but secure access to internal data?

We need external customers/vendors/partners to access some of our company data (view/add/edit). It’s not so easy as to segment out those databases/tables/records from other existing (and put separate database(s) in the DMZ where our server is). Our
current solution is to have a 1433 hole from web server into our database server. The user credentials are not in any sort of web.config but rather compiled in our DLLs, and that SQL login has read/write access to a very limited number of databases.
Our security group says this is still not secure, but how else are we to do it? Even if a web service, there still has to be a hole in somewhere. Any standard best practice for this?
Thanks.

Security is mainly about mitigation rather than 100% secure, "We have unknown unknowns". The component needs to talk to SQL Server. You could continue to use http to talk to SQL Server, perhaps even get SOAP Transactions working but personally
I'd have more worries about using such a 'less trodden' path since that is exactly the areas where more security problems are discovered. I don't know about your specific design issues so there might be even more ways to mitigate the risk but in general you're
using a DMZ as a decent way to mitigate risk. I would recommend asking your security team what they'd deem acceptable.
