What's best practice for logging messages in pageflow?

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.

Best practice for using messaging in medium to large cluster

What is the best practice for using messaging in medium to large cluster In a system where all the clients need to receive all the messages and some of the messages can be really big (a few megabytes and maybe more)
I will be glad to hear any suggestion or to learn from others experience.

publish/subscribe, right?
lots of subscribers, big messages == lots of network traffic.
it's a wide open question, no?

Best practice for logging

Hi All,
I would like to know if there is any best practice document for Firewall logging. This would include
1. What level of logging is ideal
2. If a log is stored in a logging server, how long is it best to store the logs and retain the logs by a backup tape etc.
This can include for various industries like IT, Banking etc.
Any document pertaining to these would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Best practices for logging results from Looped steps

Hi all
I would like to start a discussion to document best practices for logging results (to reports and databases) from Looped Steps
As an application example - let's say you are developing a test for one of NI's analog input or output cards and need to measure a voltage across multiple inputs or outputs.
One way to do that would be to create a sequence that switches the appropriate signals and performs a "Voltage Measurement" test in a loop.
What are your techniques for keeping track of the individual measurements so that they can be traced to the individual signal paths that are being measured?
I have used a variety of techniques such as
i )creating a custom step type that generates unique identifiers for each iteration of the loop. This required some customization to the results processing . Also the sequence developer had to include code to ensure that a unique identifier was generated for each iteration
ii) Adding an input parameter to the test function/vi, passing loop iteration to it and adding this to Additional results parameters to log.

I have attached a simple example (LV 2012 and TS 2012) that includes steps inside a loop structure as well as a looped test.
If you enable both database and report generation, you will see the following:
1) The numeric limit test in the for loop always generates the same name in the report and database which makes it difficult to determine the result of a particular iteration
2) The Max voltage test report includes the paramater as an additional result but the database does not include any differentiating information
3) The Looped Limit test generates both uniques reports and database entries - you can easily see what the result for each iteration is.
As mentioned, I am seeking to start a discussion for how others handle results for steps inside loops. The only way I have been able to accomplish a result similar to that of the Looped step (unique results and database entry for each iteration of the loop) is to modify the process model results processing.

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 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 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.

               it.next();
               it.remove();
          this.getFacesContext().renderResponse();
     }i also tried doing this another way by just using an action method attached to the a4j:support tag, but that introduced a different set of issue. so ill leave that out for now unless that is the direction someone would like to direct my issue in.
Thanks in advance

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 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 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.

What is the best practice for logging runtime error or uncheked exceptions

hello
my main problem is logging the nullPointerException to a file
suppose I have this method
public void myMethod()
   //..... some declaration here
   User user = obj.findUser("userx"); //this may return null
   System.out.println("user name is "+user.getName()); // I may have a null pointer exception here
}so what is the best practice to catch the exception ??
can I log the exception without catching it ???
thank you

A terrible way of logging exceptions.Not that im not agreeing with you, but why? (I havent
actually used this)Because it's always on, for one thing. It's not really configurable either, unless you go to some trouble to make it so. You'd have to provide an InputStream. How? Either at compile-time, which is undesirable, or by providing configuration, which a logging framework has already done, better. Then there's the fact that you can't log anything other than the stacktrace - not particularly helpful a lot of the time. In short, it's a buggy and incomplete solution to something that's already been solved much much better by, for example, Log4J

Oim11g - Best Practice for Logging

Hello all,
want to know the best practice or common usage of error logging in oim11g. As we know that oim has some sequence to run processes that will end in Java. For the best practice, where and when should I create the log? Should I create log inside each function called by oim adapter? If I make a sysout at the beginning of function, parameter names and values, e.getMessage() inside catch(Exception e) and at the end of function, is it okay? Or is there any better implementation? Using sysout or log4j, commons logging, etc.
in my idea (in each function):
<function_name>::BEGIN
- Time: <dd-MMM-yyyy>
<function_name>::PARAMETER
- <param_name1>: <param1_value>
- <param_name2>: <param2_value>
- <param_name3>: <param3_value>
if error, inside throw{}
<function_name>::ERROR
- Message: <e.getMessage()>
<function_name>::END
is it good?

This is what i've been doing with 11g logging. In every custom code class i run, i use this to declare my logger:
private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(<Class_Name>.class.getName().toUpperCase()); // Replace <Class_Name> with the actual class name
This lets me go go the enterprise manager and make changes to the logging level once the class has been used.
You can then use the following code:
LOGGER.log(Level.INFO, "Insert Information Message Here");
LOGGER.log(Level.CONFIG, "Insert More Detailed Debugger Information Message Here");
LOGGER.log(Level.WARNING, "Insert Error Message Information Here", e); //e is your exception that is caught
Personally, i like to put a start and end output in my logging, and then any details in the middle, i use the CONFIG level. This lets me know pieces are running successfully, and only need to see the details during testing or if needed. When deployed to production, i set the logger to WARNING level to only know about the problems.
By using these, you can set your logger appropriately in the enterprise manager to output more detailed when needed.
