What is the best practice way of stopping a sub-domain from being indexed?

Hi there
I notice that a client site is being indexed as both xxx.com.au [their primary domain] as well as xxx.PARTNERDOMAIN.com.au.
I have Googled quite a bit on the subject and have browsed the forums, but can't seem to find any specific best practice approach to only having the primary domain indexed.
One method that seems to be the most recommended is having a second robots.txt site for the sub-domain xxx.PARTNERDOMAIN.com.au with Disallow: /
Does anyone have a definitive recommendation?
Many thanks
Gavin

Sorry I assumed they were two different sites, they are the same "content" just two different URLs?
Canonical links will help but it wont stop or remove you being indexed it only adds higher index weight to the Canonical linked URL. Plus only search engines that support that meta tag will work.
You essentially need two robots.txt to do this effectively or add the META TAG if you can split the sites somehow.
There is a more complex way, you could host the second domain somewhere else, use htaccess or similar to do a reverse proxy to the main site to pull the contents in realtime, all except the robots.txt file. This way you could have two sites with only 1 to update but still have two robots.txt's
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy
I've done this for a few sites, you are essentially adding a middle man, it will be a tad slower depending on how far the two servers are apart, but it is like having a cname domain but with total control.

What's the 'best practice' way to get email and fax number from vendor?

Hello *,

What's the best (easiest way) to clear up voice recorded from far away?

I decided to record my professor during one of his lectures.
I sit in the back (power outlet~), and thus the voice is really muffled.
I figured I'd be easily able to clear up the sound later in CS6.
Sounds easy anyways, but for some reason, I'm not having any luck in it.
I've done much more complex restoration stuff (no where near pro, just ocd haha), but never worked with voice before.....
Any ideas will be helpful. Pretend like I've only used audition for a few days.
Thanks all~!

Unfortunately there isn't an easy or even very successful way to do this in any audio software. See the long discussion at:

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

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.

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 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 are the best practice to design Dashboard?

Hi Friends,
What are the best practice to design Dashboard?
Thanks

1) Use section name instead of Title View to name your report. This way sections can be collapsed and user can still see report name.
2) Enable alternate coloring in tables and pivots for easy readablity and set table and pivot widths to 100% (for reports in dashboards) to reduce white space and achieve a more "professional look."
3) Use column selectors and view selectors to reduce the width of reports and reduce the amount of columns user sees to a "practical minimum."

Terabyte Plus Libraries - What is the Best Practice?

In my current Aperture library I have 150 gigs and I have only been using it for about a year. Previous to that I used iPhoto for a short time which still has a 60 gig library and previous to that I stored my images in file folders on a windows servers which I have around 500+ gig there. Then there are are those non electronic images which should be scanned in one day.....
My hope was to have import everything into one tool and eventually to have some better organization and management of my images. At the rate I am shooting now it won't be long before I break the terabyte mark and am wondering as I try to pull al these sources together what is the best Practice?
I know I can have more than one library now with Aperture, do folks manage their libraries by themes? Weddings, Family, Commercial, etc? I just picked up a 2 terabyte drive to start moving stuff off my Mac Book but am not sure if I should use the Archive tool to do this or break apart my images into libraries and store them them and just keep a working library on my Mac?
Within Aperture I am using the Project -> Album hierarchy to manage my shoots now as well.
Also, I don't have a ton of video yet, but have started shooting a little, plus have been making slideshows and books now, so I need to start planning for that as well. Just wondering what is the best, most efficient way of large data management with Aperture.
Thanks!

The solution is to avoid the (unfortunately default) Managed Masters and instead use a Referenced Masters Library kept on an internal drive. Back up originals prior to importing and keep Masters off the Library drive. That way the Aperture Library will remain small enough to live on a standard internal drive without overfilling it.
Note that working drives (as opposed to backup-only drives) should not be allowed to exceed ~70% full for ideal speed and stability.
Multiple Libraries is almost always poor images management in a digital world unless all rights to the images, including the right to simply view any image (such as security work), belong exclusively to the client. Usage of multiple Libraries is a big backward step into film-think and very significantly limits the power of digital images management.

What is the best practice to perform DB Backup on Sun Cluster using OSB

I have a query on OSB 10.4.
I want to configure OSB 10.4 on 2 Node Sun Cluster where the oracle database is running.
When im performing DB backup, my DB backup job should not get failed if my node1 fails. What is the best practice to achieve this?

Hi,
Each Host that participates in an OSB administrative domain must also have some pre-configured way to resolve a host name to an IP address.Use DNS, NIS etc to do this.
Specify cluster IP in OSB, so that OSB always looks for Cluster IP only instead of physical IPs of each node.
Explanation :
If it is 2-Node OR 4-Node, when Cluster software installed in these nodes we have to configure Cluster IP so that when one node fails Cluster IP will automatically move to the another node.
This cluster IP we have to specify whether it is RMAN backup or Application JDBC connection. Failing to second node/another Node is the job of Cluster IP. So wherever we install cluster configuration we have to specify in all the failover places specify CLUSTER IP.
Hope it helps..
Thanks

What is the best practice for BADI?

Hi all, this is my first post.
I've seen many BADI examples here at SDN and elsewhere where after defining the badi at SE18, and the implementation at SE19, you just create a Z program and call the badi and its method. No brainer. I know how to use the new badi of 'get badi' and 'call badi' instead of the classic exit handler. So I do know how to call a badi properly, in a Z program.
However, SAP's intention of BADI is to replace the traditional user exit. My question is how do you guys use badi in replacement of user exit?
User exits have 'call customer-functions' where you put your code in the Z includes, without touching standard SAP programs. Where/how do i link standard programs to call my badi? Even if I implement a standard bapi, my implementation is a Z. And a standard bapi and its methods are, well, standard. How do I call the Z stuff.
1. If using cmod, call customer-function and the z include to call my badi and method, how does that replace user exit if I'm still using cmod???
2. I've seen people add includes in a standard function-pool. The Z include calls the badi. But doing so is a modification, which I thought is to be avoided.
So my question is what is the best practice out there, how do you guys use badi for enhancement in replacement of user exit? In combination of cmod, adding includes in standard programs, other methods?

Hi Shawn,
Welcome to SDN
First thing, you got the whole concept of BADI partially wrong.
BADI are like user-exits only and the difference is it uses ABAP OO an some more functionalities.
As you find in the code CALL CUSTOMER FUNCTION, the same way there are exit handlers for BADI.
User Exits are not completely removed. They are still there and will be there. Its just the extra flexibility with BADI.

What is the BEST practice - use BO or Java Object in process as webservice

Hi All,
I have my BP published as web service. I have defined My process input & output as BOs. My BP talks to DB through DAO layer(written in JAVA) which has Java objects. So I have BO as well as java Objects. Since I am collecting user input in BO, I have to assign individual values contained in BO to Java object's fields.
I want to reduce this extra headache & want to use either of BO or Java object.I want to know What is the best practice - use BO or Java object as process input. If it is BO,how I can reuse BOs in Java?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Sujata P. Galinde

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your response. I also wanted to use java object only. When I use java object as process input argument..it is fine. But when I try to create Process web service, I am getting compilation error - "data type not supported".....
To get rid of this error, I tried to use heir (BO inheriting from java class). But while invoking process as web service, it is not asking for fields that are inherited from java class.
Then I created Business Object with a field of type java class... This also is not working. While sending request, it is giving an error that - field type for fields from java class not found.
Conclusion - not able to use java object as process(exposed as web service) input argument .
What is the Best & feasible way to accomplist the task - Process using DAO in Java & exposed as web service.
Thanks & Regards,
Sujata

What is the best practice to handle JPA methods in JSF app?

I am building a JSF-JPA web app(No EJB).
I have several methods that has JPA QL inside.
Because I have to put those methods inside JSF beans to inject EntityManagerFactory (am I right about this?).
And I do want to separate those methods from regular JSF beans which are used by page authors.
And I may need to use them in different JSF managed beans.
My question here is that what is the best practice to handle that?
I. write a or a few separate JSF Beans and inject them into regular Beans?
II. write a or a few separate JSF Beans and access them into regular Beans using FacesContext?
III. others?
Waiting to hear from you opinions.

You can create named queries on your Entities themselves then just call entityMgr.createNamedQuery("nameOfQuery");
Normally, we put these named queries in the class of the entity which will be returned. This allows for all information pertaining to a given entity and all ways of accessing that entity (except em.find() and stuff, of course) to be in one place. As long as the entity is defined in your persistence.xml file, any named queries which reside on that entity will be available through the EntityManager.
As for the EntityManagerFactory, we normally create an application scope bean which holds the factory itself (because this is a heavy-weight object) and then just get all EntityManager instances from that by injecting this bean into whatever needs it. For example, I might have:
//emfBB is the injected app scope bean which holds the entity manager factory.
private EmfBB emfBB;
private void lookupSomeData()
EntityManager em = this.getEmfBB().getEmf()
I hope this answered your question?
