The Best Practices

Hi All,
We are building some reporting solution (POC) for the EBS kind of tables where we are having the Base and the TL tables. When a user logins in to the OBIEE the OBIEE session variable WEBLANGUAGE gives the code as 'en' for english and for the chinese it gives as 'zh', whereas in EBS we have the LANGUAGE column storing the data as 'US' for (US (english) language) and ZHS (for the simplified chinese) and so on and so forth for the rest of the languages.
My question is what is the best practice to have the mapping between 'en' to 'US', 'zh' to 'ZHS' and so on, so that the proper language rows are picked from the TL tables.
Looking forward for your replies.
Thanks

Hi,
I guess the best way is via a connection script on the connection pool and additional variables and initialization blocks. In Oracle's EBSAnalyticMaster.rpd which they deliver with eBS it's working that way. Maybe you can get your hands on this rpd.
Also check Gerard Braat's blog to see how the authentication works;

What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

It depends on a various factors. There is no "generic" solution or best practice recommendation. Which migration tool are you planning to use?
Quest (QMM) has a VPN migration solution/tool.
ADMT - you can develop your own service based solution if required. I believe it was mentioned in my blog post.

What is the best practice for changing view states?

I have a component with two Pie Charts that display
percentages at two specific dates (think start and end values).
But, I have three views: Start Value only, End Value only, or show
Both. I am using a ToggleButtonBar to control the display. What is
the best practice for changing this kind of view state? Right now
(since this code was inherited), the view states are changed in an
ActionScript function which sets the visible and includeInLayout
properties on each Pie Chart based on the selectedIndex of the
ToggleButtonBar, but, this just doesn't seem like the best way to
do this - not very dynamic. I'd like to be able to change the state
based on the name of the selectedItem, in case the order of the
ToggleButtons changes, and since I am storing the name of the
selectedItem for future reference.
Would using States be better? If so, what would be the best
way to implement this?
Thanks.

I would stick with non-states, as I have always heard that
states are more for smaller components that need to change under
certain conditions, like a login screen that changes if the user
needs to register.
That said, if the UI of what you are dealing with is not
overly complex, and if it will not become overly complex, maybe
states is the way to go.
Looking at your code, I don't think you'll save much in terms
of lines of code.

Is dao pattern is the best practice in projects

let me know if dao pattern is the best followed in all almost all the
projects though finding alternatives to it. please clarify this for me and also i do want to know the best practices of the industry in using design patterns.

There is no 'best' pattern. It is just all abouthow
and where to apply them. This is very true,but these are common
design patterns used in industry for standard
problems.
ost of the time patterns are used not for some
special reason but for more manageability and ease of
change.So if you have a small application than it's
ok but if you are working on big application which
are needed to be maintained over a time and changes
are frequent.Than its better to start learning about
patterns because their will be problems which right
now you can't see but eventually you have to take
care of.That is either incorrect or phrased poorly.
Patterns come about because someone analyzes different existing code bases and notes that there are similarities in the way they are built.
It isn't that they are easier to maintain but rather that because the pattern has similarities it is easier to comprehend, understand the limitations, understand the possible related patterns, etc. That might lead to easier maintainance but it isn't the reason. The reason is because, if and only if, the requirements/architecture lead to a situation where that pattern could be properly used.

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)

What is the best practice for setting up warehouse inventory for oil & gas tank farm

Hi, i want to know the best practice for setting up warehouse inventory for oil & gas tank farm. SAP has these levels for inventory management in warehouse environment: warehouse-aisle-shelf-bin. To me the bin seems to be the central location for inventory. So do i set up each oil tank as a bin location?

What is the best practice for inserting (unique) rows into a table containing key columns constraint where source may contain duplicate (already existing) rows?

My final data table contains a two key columns unique key constraint. I insert data into this table from a daily capture table (which also contains the two columns that make up the key in the final data table but are not constrained
(not unique) in the daily capture table). I don't want to insert rows from daily capture which already exists in final data table (based on the two key columns). Currently, what I do is to select * into a #temp table from the join
of daily capture and final data tables on these two key columns. Then I delete the rows in the daily capture table which match the #temp table. Then I insert the remaining rows from daily capture into the final data table.
Would it be possible to simplify this process by using an Instead Of trigger in the final table and just insert directly from the daily capture table? How would this look?
What is the best practice for inserting unique (new) rows and ignoring duplicate rows (rows that already exist in both the daily capture and final data tables) in my particular operation?

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:
https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
>> My final data table contains a two key columns unique key constraint. [unh? one two-column key or two one column keys? Sure wish you posted DDL] I insert data into this table from a daily capture table (which also contains the two columns that make
up the key in the final data table but are not constrained (not unique) in the daily capture table). <<
Then the "capture table" is not a table at all! Remember the fist day of your RDBMS class? A table has to have a key. You need to fix this error. What ETL tool do you use?
>> I don't want to insert rows from daily capture which already exists in final data table (based on the two key columns). <<
MERGE statement; Google it. And do not use temp tables.

The best practice for data mart to different BW System.

Hi All,
Would you like to suggest me what i have to do for this case ??
I have 2 SAP BW systems e.g. BW A & BW B.
I wanna transfer data from info cube within BW A into info cube within BW B.
The things that I did :
1. 'Generate Export Data Sources' for info cube BW A.
2. Replicate source system in BW B. In BW B, it will show datasource from info cube BW A.
3. In SAP BW B, I create info package, then I can fetch data from SAP BW A.
What I wanna ask are:
1. Could I make it automatically?? Because everytime I wanna fetch data from Info Cube SAP BW A, I must run info package in SAP BW B / what's the best practice.
2. Could RDA make it automatically ?? Automatic in my case is everytime I have new/update data in Info cube SAP BW A, I don't have to run info package in SAP BW B.
SAP BW B will automatically fetch the data from Info Cube A.
If yes, could you give me step-by-step how to use RDA to solve my case please..
Really need ur guidances all .
Thanks,
Best regards,
Daniel N.

Hi Daniel,
You can create a process chain to load your cube in BW A. SImilarly create a process chain in your BW B system to load its cube.
Now in your system BW A you create a process chain to load your cube. After that you can run automatically the procewss chain in BW B. You can use the Remote chain option for this.
This will trigger a chain automatically in the remote system.

What is the best practice to display info of completed task in process flow

Hi all,
I'm starting to study BPM modeling with CE7.1 EHP1. Thanks to the tutorial and example on SDN site and I can easily build my own process in NWDS and deploy to server, start it, finish it.
I like the new runtime which can show a BPMN diagram to the processors. However, I can't find a way to let the follow up processor to review the task result completed in previous step. I'm more familiar with Guided Procedure, and know there is "Display Callable Object" which can used to show some info of a completed task when the processor/owner/admin/overseer click on a completed task. Where is the feature in BPM ? What is the best practice to show such task information in BPM environment.
For example, A multiple level approval process, the higher level approver need to know the comment written by the previous approver. Can he read this information from process flow ?
I think it is very important feature for a BPM platform. In Guided Procedure, such requirement can be done with Display Callable Object + View Permission, and you just need some coding for the UI. If BPM is superior to GP, I think there must be a way to achieve this, I just do not know how ?
Can anyone shed me some light on it ?

Oliver,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, Notes and Attachment CAN BE USED for the purpose. But I'm still looking for a more elegant solution.
With the solution of using Notes/Attachment, the processor need to give input at two places : the task UI and Note/Attach , with similar or same data. It is really annoying.
Is there any SAP BPM real-world deployment ? None of customer has the requirement ?

What is the best practice for APO - Demand planning implementation

Hi,
M client wants to implement demand planning.
Cient has come up with one scenario like a New Customer is created in ECC, and if I use BI and then APO flow for Demand planning, user will have to wait for another day. (AS BI is always having one day delay).
For this scenarios user is insisting on ECC and APO-DP interface.
Will anybody suggest what should be the best practice for Demand planning.
ECC -> Standalone BI -> Planning area (Planning is done in APO) -> Stand alone BI
Or ECC -> APO-DP (Planning is done in APO) -> Standalone BI system
I hope I am able to explain my scenario.

What is the best practice for full browser video to achieve the highest quality?

I'd like to get your thoughts on the best way to deliver full-browser (scale to the size of the browser window) video. I'm skilled in the creation of the content but learning to make the most out of Flash CS5 and would love to hear what you would suggest.
Most of the tutorials I can find on full browser/scalable video are for earlier versions of Flash; what is the best practice today? Best resolution/format for the video?
If there is an Adobe guide to this I'm happy to eat humble pie if someone can redirect me to it; I'm using CS5 Production Premium.
I like the full screen video effect they have on the "Sounds of pertussis" web-site; this is exactly what I'm trying to create but I'm not sure what is the best way to approach it - any hints/tips you can offer would be great?
Thanks in advance!

Use the little squares over your video to mask the quality. Sounds of Pertussis is not full screen video, but rather full stage. Which is easier to work with since all the controls and other assets stay on screen. You set up your html file to allow full screen. Then bring in your video (netstream or flvPlayback component) and scale that to the full size of your stage (since in this case it's basically the background) . I made a quickie demo here. (The video is from a cheapo SD consumer camera, so pretty poor quality to start.)
In AS3 is would look something like
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
// determine current stage size
var sw:int = int(stage.stageWidth);
var sh:int = int(stage.stageHeight);
// load video
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var vid:Video = new Video(656, 480); // size off video
this.addChildAt(vid, 0);
vid.attachNetStream(ns);
//path to your video_file
ns.play("content/GS.f4v");
var netClient:Object = new Object();
ns.client = netClient;
// add listener for resizing of the stage so we can scale our assets
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
stage.dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.RESIZE));
function resizeHandler(e:Event = null):void
// determine current stage size
    var sw:int = stage.stageWidth;
    var sh:int = stage.stageHeight;
// scale video size depending on stage size
    vid.width = sw;
    vid.height = sh;
// Don't scale video smaller than certain size
    if (vid.height < 480)
    vid.height = 480;
    if (vid.width < 656)
    vid.width = 656;
// choose the smaller scale property (x or y) and match the other to it so the size is proportional;
    (vid.scaleX > vid.scaleY) ? vid.scaleY = vid.scaleX : vid.scaleX = vid.scaleY;
// add event listener for full screen button
fullScreenStage_mc.buttonMode = true;
fullScreenStage_mc.mouseChildren = false;
fullScreenStage_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goFullStage, false, 0, true);
function goFullStage(event:MouseEvent):void
    //vid.fullScreenTakeOver = false; // keeps flvPlayer component from becoming full screen if you use it instead
    if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
        stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
    else
        stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;

What is the Best practice for ceramic industry?

Dear All;
i would like to ask two questions:
1- which manufacturing category (process or discrete) fit ceramic industry?
2- what is the Best practice for ceramic industry?
please note from the below link
[https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000409682008E ]
i recognized that ceramic industry is under category called building material which in turn under mill product and mining
but there is no best practices for building material or even mill product and only fabricated meta and mining best practices is available.
thanks in advance

Hi,
I understand that you refer to production of ceramic tiles. The solution for PP was process, with these setps: raw materials preparation (glazes and frits), dry pressing (I don't know extrusion process), glazing, firing (single fire), sorting and packing. In Spain, usually are All-in-one solutions (R/3 o ECC solutions). Perhaps the production of decors have fast firing and additional processes.
In my opinion, the curiosity is in batch determination in SD, that you must determine in sales order because builders want that the order will be homogeneus in tone and caliber, and he/she can split the order in diferents deliveries. You must think that batch is tone (diferents colours in firing and so on) and in caliber.
I hope this helps you

Eduardo

Database Log File becomes very big, What's the best practice to handle it?

The log of my production Database is getting very big, and the harddisk is almost full, I am pretty new to SAP, but familiar with SQL Server, if anybody can give me advice on what's the best practice to handle this issue.
Should I Shrink the Database?
I know increase hard disk is need for long term .
Thanks in advance.

Hi Finke,
Usually the log file fills up and grow huge, due to not having regular transaction log backups. If you database is in FULL recovery mode, every transaction is logged in Transaction file, and it gets cleared when you take a log backup. If it is a production system and if you don't have regular transaction log backups, the problem is just sitting there to explode, when you need a point in time restore. Please check you backup/restore strategy.
Follow these steps to get transactional file back in normal shape:
1.) Take a transactional backup.
2.) shrink log file. ( DBCC shrinkfile('logfilename',10240)
The above command will shrink the file to 10 GB.(recommended size for high transactional systems)

> Should I Shrink the Database? .
"NEVER SHRINK DATA FILES", shrink only log file
3.) Schedule log backups every 15 minutes.
Thanks

What is the best Practice to improve MDIS performance in setting up file aggregation and chunk size

Hello Experts,
in our project we have planned to do some parameter change to improve the MDIS performance and want to know the best practice in setting up file aggregation and chunk size when we importing large numbers of small files(one file contains one record and each file size would be 2 to 3KB) through automatic import process,
below is the current setting in production:-
Chunk Size=2000
No. Of Chunks Processed In Parallel=40
file aggregation-5
Records Per Minute processed-37
and we made the below setting in Development system:-
Chunk Size=70000
No. Of Chunks Processed In Parallel=40
file aggregation-25
Records Per Minute processed-111
after making the above changes import process improved but we want to get expert opinion making these changes in production because there is huge number different between what is there in prod and what change we made in Dev.
thanks in advance,
Regards
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
The SAP default values are as below
Chunk Size=50000
No of Chunks processed in parallel = 5
File aggregation: Depends largely on the data , if you have one or 2 records being sent at a time then it is better to cluster them together and send it at one shot , instead of sending the one record at a time.
Records per minute Processed - Same as above
