What are best practices for connecting asa to nexus 5000

just trying to get a feel for the best way to connect redundant asa to redundant nexus 5000
using a vpc vlan is fine, but then running a routing protocol isn't supported, so putting static routes on 5000 works, but it doesn't support ip sla yet so you cant really stop distributing the default if your internet goes down. just looking for what was recommended.

you want to test RAC upgrade on NON RAC database. If you ask me that is a risk but it depends on may things
Application configuration - If your application is configured for RAC, FAN etc. you cannot test it on non RAC systems
Cluster upgrade - If your standalone database is RAC one node you can probably test your cluster upgrade there. If you have non RAC database then you will not be able to test cluster upgrade or CRS
Database upgrade - There are differences when you upgrade RAC vs non RAC database which you will not be able to test
I think the best way for you is to convert your standalone database to RAC one node database and test it. that will take you close to multi node RAC

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.

What are best practice for packaging and deploying j2EE apps to iAS?

We've been running a set of J2EE applications on a pair of iAS SP1b for about a year and it has been quite stable.
Recently however we have had a number of LDAP issues, particularly when registering and unregistering applications (registering ear files sometimes fails 1st time but may work 2nd time). Also We've noticed very occasionally that old versions of classes sometimes find their way onto our machines.
What is considered to be best practice in terms of packaging and deployment, specifically:
1) Packaging - using the deployTool that comes with iAS6 SP1b to package is a big manual task, especially when you have 200+ jsp files. Are people out there using this or are they scripting it with a build tool such as Ant?
2) Deploying an existing application to multiple iAS's. Are you guys unregistering old application then reregistering new application? Are you shutting down iAS whilst doing the deployment?
3) Deploying ear files can take 5 to 10 mins, is this normal?
4) In a clustered scenario where HTTPSession is shared what are the consequences of doing deployments to data stored in session?
thanks in asvance for your replies

You may want to consider upgrading your application server environment to a newer service pack. There are numerous enhancements involving the deployment tool and run time layout of your application that make clear where you're application is loading its files from.
If you've at a long running application server environment, with lots of deployments under your belt, you might start to notice slow downs in deployment and kjs start time. Generally this is due to garbage collecting in your iAS registry.
You can do several things to resolve this. The most complete solution is to reinstall the application server. This will guarantee a clean ldap registry. Of course you've got to restablish your configurations and redeploy your applications. When done, backup your application server install space with the application server and directory server off. You can use this backup to return to a known configuation at some future time.
For the second method: <B>BE CAREFUL - BACKUP FIRST</B>
There is a more exhaustive solution that involves examining your deployed components to determine the active GUIDS. You then search the NameTrans section of the registry searching for Applogic Servlet *, and Bean * entries that represent your previously deployed components but are represented in the set of deployed GUIDs. Record these older GUIDs, remove them from ClassImp and ClassDef. Finally remove the older entries from NameTrans.
Best practices for deployment depend on your particular environmental needs. Many people utilize ANT as a build tool. In later versions of the application server, complete ANT scripts are included that address compiling, assembly and deployment. Ant 1.4 includes iAS specific targets and general J2EE targets. There are iAS specific targets that can be utilized with the 1.3 version. Specialized build targets are not required however to deploy to iAS.
Newer versions of the deployment tool allow you to specify that JSPs are not to be registered automatically. This can be significant if deployment times lag. Registered JSP's however benefit more fully from the services that iAS offers.
2) In general it is better to undeploy then redeploy. However, if you know that you're not changing GUIDs, recreating an existing application with new GUIDs, or removing registered components, you may avoid the undeploy phase.
If you shut down the KJS processes during deployment you can eliminate some addition workload on the LDAP server which really gets pounded during deployment. This is because the KJS processes detect changes and do registry loads to repopulate their caches. This can happen many times during a deployment and does not provide any benefit.
3) Deploying can be a lengthy process. There have been improvements in that performance from service pack to service pack but unfortunately you wont see dramatic drops in deployment times.
One thing you can do to reduce deployment times is to understand the type of deployment. If you have not manipulated your deployment descriptors in any way, then there is no need to deploy. Simply drop your newer bits in to the run time space of the application server. In later service packs this means exploding the package (ear,war, or jar) in to the appropriate subdirectory of the APPS directory.
4) If you've changed the classes of objects that have been placed in HTTPSession, you may find that you can no longer utilize those objects. For that reason, it is suggested that objects placed in session be kept as simple as possible in order to minimize this effect. In general however, is not a good idea to change a web application during the life span of a session.

What are best practices for rolling out cluster upgrade?

Hello,
I am looking for your input on the approaches to implement Production RAC upgrade without having a spare instance of RAC servers. We have a 2-node database RAC 11.1 on Production. We are planning to upgrade to 11.2 but only have a single database that the pre-Production integration can be verified on. Our concern is that the integration may behave differently on RAC vs. the signle database instance. How everybody else approaches this problem?

you want to test RAC upgrade on NON RAC database. If you ask me that is a risk but it depends on may things

What are best practices for back up drives when they become full?

I've got an external hard drive that is now full. What do I do? Delete the oldest files on it, right? If so, do I delete the full backup and ALL the incremental backups since then? Do I have to do this manually now; isn't there a way to automate this?

The "usual" procedure is to move the oldest incremental backups from the hard drive to permanent storage media such as DVD.
However, if your backup drive is the same size as your main drive, then you could do incremental backups that delete files on the backup druve that have been deleted from the source drive. This prevents the drive from filling up with old and out of date files. However, if you need to maintain archives of even the incremental backups, then move the oldest to permanent storage media and delete them from the backup drive to free space.

Best Pactice for Connecting ASA to Catalyst Switch with Mulitple VLANs

Hi all,
Have the following network topology that was in place when I started the job (See attached pdf). Am thinking it might be better if I could eliminate the Cisco 2811 router and connect directly from the ASA to my 12 port fiber switch (192.168.7.1). In my thinking this would eliminate an unnecessary piece of equipment and also give me a gig link to my ASA as opposed to the 100 meg link I have now with the old router. The 12 port fiber has links to most of my IDFs and is acting as my VLAN gateway for all inter VLAN routing.
Is my current topology ideal or would I be better served to remove router and connect directly to the 3750G-12s Fiber switch or my Master Switch (192.168.7.4)? Only thing I don’t like about direct connect to Master switch is that it takes scheduling a major outage for me to reboot it. However, if that is best practice in this case, I can live with it.
It appears the 12 port fiber cannot have IP addresses assigned directly to Ports, only to VLANs. So would I have to create a separate vlan for my ASA and assign IPs to the vlan on each end of the connection?
I have read some suggestions that say it is better to terminate all VLANs on the ASA. So as I understand that would require creating subinterfaces on my ASA LAN port and assigning each subinterface to its own VLAN Inter VLAN routing would then be controlled by ASA.
Does not seem practical to me as I have about 15 VLANs total. Not showing everything in the drawing.
Guess my main question is “What is best practice for topology and routing in my scenario?”

Hi Mcreilly,
You should be able to assign an ip address on cat6k sup720 if you are running native ios on sup 720.
If you are running catos then you will not be able to do that and you can have it configured as trunk and connect to the router.Also I do not think that you need subinterfaces on router and trunk on switch because your cat6k with sup720 must be doing intervlan routing between vlans.
You can just connect it on some port on any vlan and same subnet ip address which you have it on msfc for that vlan you can assign on the router interface and anybody want to go out via t3 link will get routes on sup720 and move out via router vlan.
For suppose you do not want the router to be part of existing vlan you can create one vlan on cat6k sup720 and assign one port to that new vlan and connect the royter to that new vlan port and then create logical interface on msfc for that new vlan and assign an ip address range on that logical vlan and same subnet ip address range you can assign on router physical interface.
Any one from other vclan get routed on sup 720 msfc and will move out via the vlan on which you have connected the router.
because you have only one router you will not be able to maintain box level redundancy by which i mean if the router goes down t3 will be unreachable.

Best practices for connecting to DB

Hi,
I am having 3 different java classes which will contact the DB for getting the data from the table. I wrote a separate java class for DB connection like this :
public class DBConnection {
private Connection con;
public Connection getConnection() {
try {
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/StrutsDB", "username", "password");
} catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(DBConnection.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(DBConnection.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
return con;
How to use this single connection object in all of the 3 classes? What are all the ways of doing so?
Is there any best practices for connecting to DB?
Thanks in advance,

The problem with "best practice" is it really depends on your situation. If you are creating a single user, desktop application then what you are doing will work but would be more efficient if the connection was declared as static and you used the singleton pattern.
public class DBConnection {
    private static final Connection con;
    private DBConnection() {
        try {
            Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver");
            con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/StrutsDB", "username", "password");
        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(DBConnection.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(DBConnection.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    public static Connection getConnection() {
        return con.
}The private constructor guarantees only one instance of the class will be created (since you can't use 'new' to create one) and initialized the database connection. Then any other object that require a connection simply call DBConnection.getConnection() and they will get the same database connection each time.
Note that this is a little simplistic and is not thread safe. If your classes will be executing on different threads you will need a more sophisticated approach. You will also need to make sure you commit or rollback any transactions when done or the next time you get the connection you may be in the middle of an existing transaction.

What is best practice for installing Yosemite

I am currently on OS X Mavericks version 10.9.5 Macbook pro 13. 2.6 ghz intel for i5, 8gb 1600 mhz ddr3.
I am now downloading yosemite 10.10.1 but since i've been reading all these negative feedback so far, i am having second thoughts if i should continue to install the upgrade or not.
Any suggestion What is best practice for installing Yosemite? Or is it not yet time to upgrade since the platform is premature yet?
Thanks in advance.

Check your apps are compatible with 10.10 - roaringapps.com
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck can show what is running & installed - look for updates on the developer own sites.
If you have many kernel extensions or startup items look for updates to them too
Take a full bootable backup to another disk via Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper! or Disk Utility
Disconnect the backup before you begin any install (ideally set it aside & leave it untouched incase you need to go back to 10.9)
Personally I prefer a clean install when there are signs of multiple migrations (if you have upgraded several OS for a period of years). Setup Assistant/ Migration Assistant can import user data from a backup, but consider that Apps & 'other data' should be manually reinstalled from the latest versions.
If you clean install (erase the HD before installation) then make sure you deauthorise iTunes & any other apps that are associated online (like find my Mac).

What's best practice for logging messages in pageflow?
Workshop complains when I try to use a Log4J logger by saying it's not serializable. Is there a context similar to JWSContext that you can get a logger from?
There seems to be a big hole in the documentation on debug logging in workflows and JSP pages.
thanks,
Rodger...

Make the configuration change in setDomainEnv.cmd. Find where the following variable is set:
LOG4J_CONFIG_FILE
and change it to your desired path.
In your Global.app class, instantiate a static Logger like this:
transient static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Global.class);
You should be logging now as long as you have the categories and appenders configured properly in your log4j.xml file.

What is the best practice for connecting to different schemas?

Hi all,
We are porting an application from SQL Server to oracle and would like to know what the best practices are in oracle for user connections to an Oracle instance.
More or less the question could be put like this:
1) The equivalent of a SQL Server Database in Oracle is a Schema. (more or less)
2) A specific application has it's own schema where it keeps all related objects (Tables, etc)
3) In SQL Server you grant access to the Database and its objects (Tables, etc) to all users of the application.
4) In Oracle do you grant access to the Schema and its objects (Tables, etc) to all users of the application also? Or do all users log
in as the schema owner?
So in Oracle if there existed [SchemaApplication].[table1], how would [userChris] and [userDave] query [SchemaApplication].[table1]?
Would Chris and Dave log in as [userChris] and [userDave], or would they normally log in as [userApplication]?
finally, is it good practice to log in as a unique user eg [userChris] and then issue the
alter session set current_schema = shemaApplication;
command to change the way references to tables are interpreted?

4) In Oracle do you grant access to the Schema and its objects (Tables, etc) to all users of the application also? Or do all users log
in as the schema owner?There are ways to implement the same.
Case 1.
Create different roles, such as APP_ROLE, READONLY_ROLE. Create public synonym for objects in SchemaApplication user. Grant these role to single user say appUser this is different from you SchemaApplication user. Use appUser to connect to application and for different user like userChris, userDave provide another layer of security. Say userDave is allowed only to deal with cash related transaction, so allow him to open only those screens which are related to cash transaction only.
Case 2.
Create public synonym and grant privilege on tables from SchemaApplication to different users (say userChris, userDave).
So in Oracle if there existed [SchemaApplication].[table1], how would [userChris] and [userDave] query [SchemaApplication].[table1]?This is resolved by public synonym. There are private synonym as well, you can create this also but in this case you have to create private synonym for each of the users.
Would Chris and Dave log in as [userChris] and [userDave], or would they normally log in as [userApplication]? I would suggest you to connect either using a new user(Case 1) or the user itself has account in the database(Case2).
finally, is it good practice to log in as a unique user eg [userChris] and then issue the
alter session set current_schema = shemaApplication;
No. It is not a good practice to allow the user to login to database using the application owner.
command to change the way references to tables are interpreted?The public/private synonym can be used to resolve the schema.object value. For example, if SchemaApplication has table T, then you can create public synonym as 'CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM T FOR SchemaApplication.T'; and now you can refer this table as T from any other schema(user).

What is best practice for conditional rendering?

i have a set of radio buttons that conditionally render another set, which in turn conditionally render a 3rd set.
i am doing this by using a valueChangeListener on an h:selectOneRadio
when i click yes on the 1st set it renders the 2nd set.
when i click yes on the 2nd set it renders the 3rd set.
when i click no on the 1st set now it correctly removes the 2nd & 3rd sets, the method also nulls the values.
when i click yes on the 1st set, it renders the 2nd set with the old values even though they were nulled. and i can see in the debugger they are still null.
so there seems to be an issue updating the model, but i dont know what that issue is. im sure it just has something to do with the way i am trying this conditional render. please see below for my first field and my valueChangeListener method.
any help with what is a best practice for this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

Similar issue is covered and explained here: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/10/populate-child-menus.html]. Not sure if it solves your problem as you're using ajax4jsf whereas I don't, but it might give new insights. To the point you might need to bind the component(s) and use setValue(null) or setSubmittedValue(null).

What is best practice for dealing with Engineering Spare Parts?

Hello All,
I am after some advice regarding the process for handling engineering spare parts in PM. (We run ECC 5)
Our current process is as follows:
All materials are set up as HIBE's
Each material is batch managed
The Batch field is used for the Bin location
We are now looking to role out PM to a site that has in excess of 50,000 spare parts and want to make sure we use best practice for handling the spare parts. We are now considering using a basic WM setup to handle the movement of parts.
Please can you provide me with some feedback on what you feel the best practice is for dealing with these parts?
We are looking to set up a solution that will us to generate pick lists etc and implment a scanning solution to move parts in and out of stores.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
I hope all the 50000 spare parts are maintained as stock items.
1. Based on the usage of those spare parts, try to define safety stock & define MRP as "Reorder Point Planning". By this, you can avoid petty cash purchase.
2. By keeping the spare parts (atleast critical components) in stock, Planned Maintenance as well as unplanned maintenance will not get delayed.
3. By doing GI based on reservation, qty can be tracked against the order & equipment.
As this question is MM & WM related, they can give better clarity on this.
Regards,
Maheswaran.

New mac - what is best practice for accounts?

I am about to get a new mac (imac g5), and would like it to work well (ie file transfer and backup to from) my existing powerbook.
Is there a best practice for account set up? should I use the same accounts between the two or can I set up a new account on the new mac?
Related to this: what will key change sync give me? does that only work with the same accounts on two macs?
thanks
John

With Tiger there is a migration assistant that will move everything over from your Powerbook to your new iMac G5. All you need is a firewire cable and when prompted in your first start-up select migration assistant and connect the two computers. You will need to boot up your Powerbook holding down the 't' key before you connect the two together. Good luck, Jack.
