What's the best transport strategy?

We create everything from scrach on BW 3.5 Development and now we would start to transport them to Test environment. We could start from InfoCube level in the Transport Connection by grouping them "In Dataflow Before and Afterwards", but someone says it's better to group them with "Only Necessary Objects", which one is better?
Also is this the correct way that we start from InfoCube level? Or ODS level? or some other levels?
Thanks

hey Anil/Sachdev,
In Transport Connection, if I click the picture icon of "Select Objects" under InfoObject, then all the InfoObjects are listed and I don't think that's a good idea to transport from InfoOjects first since there is no way to select all the InfoObjects from the selection window (there are so many infoobjects there). If I click "Select Objects" picture icon under InfoObject Catelog, then can a window pops up with only a few Object (with technical name/long description) listed, while if I go to RSA1 -> InfoObjects page, then I can see much more folders listed for all InfoObjects. Why the Select InfoObject Catelog is different from this InfoObjects page?
Thanks

What is the best SLD strategy for CE?

We have some options like a single centralized SLD or a local SLD or something between them, e.g. an SLD for dev systems, etc.
Could you share your opinion -- what is a good SLD strategy for CE? Thanks!

Hi,
It wud depend on the landscape u have and requirement stategy.............
If you have a productive version...............obviously centralised SLD wud be preferred.....
Either case......juz to touch-base features of CE 7.1 i.e for exploration and R&D purpose..........lacal SLD and developer edition wud do.......

What is the best strategy to save a file in client computer

I want to save some information in a file in client computer. What is the best strategy to do? There are some ways I can think about. But none of them is good enough for me.
1. I gave all-permission. So, I can actually write what I want. But, in order to make the program runs on all platform/all client computers, I can't make any assumptions on file system of client computer. So, this is not good.
2. I can write a file into .javaws directory. But, how can I get file path for this directory? JNLP API does not give this path to us. I can't think a way to get this path for all client computer (WIndown, Mac, Unix).
3. To write as a muffin. Seems fine. But, I often change server and path. So, once I changed server, the client will loss the file saved since muffin is associated with server and path.
4. I can just open one file with on path. I think J2SE will treat this file platform dependently. For example, for W2K this file will be put into Desktop. This is bad.
Any better idea?

In the past I have used the Properties class to do things like this. Using load and store, you can read and write key=value pairs.
I store the file in the user.home directory. You can use System.getProperty("user.home") to get this location.
No guarantees, but I thought that this user.home property was good for any OS with a home directory concept. If that turns out not to be true, maybe the System property java.io.tmpdir would be more consistent across platforms. This, of course, would be subject to delete by the OS/administrators.

What's the best strategy to implement ads?

Hello Everyone,
I’ve inherited a site as the content manager and the
owners would like to start selling ad space on certain pages.
Mostly the ad banners will be on the either side of the web pages.
To see the site with out signing-up this page is public:
http://www.kidstylesource.com/industry/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=2 7&Itemid=91
The site is built with Joomla and Dreamweaver. The site is
fairly removed from the Joomla structure that Dreamweaver will be
playing a big part here setting up ad banner areas. Joomla has
it’s own way of running ad banners but as mentioned
it’s very removed from the Joomla way.
I’m just wondering what is the best strategy to
implement the ads with placement on the page, tables and/or div
with out doing a whole rewrite of each page? The body of the pages
are a mix of tables and div.
Also I’d like to think about the future using an ad
server as I’ve never used one before and don’t know
what code/structure the ad server is expecting on the website. At
this time the website is just getting off the ground so I feel an
ad server is not necessary until traffic picks-up.
Many Thanks,
John V.

Hi Helen,
Are Form1, Form2 etc five different pages? Are they based on different tables?
Typically, a tree would be a heirarchical structure (child, parent, grandparent etc) - your structure is more like a simple list.
Also typically, a report is used as the front-end to a form. A link on the report would move the user to a form that allows them to insert/update/delete data. If the five "forms" are based on different data, I would have five tabs in your app - one for each - and have the front-end report as the main page for each tab.
Or, perhaps, I'm reading your requirement wrong?

What is the best strategy to use both Z10 and Q10?

Assume I have both a Z10 and Q10 and I'd like to use it on alternate days, what's the best strategy to do so?
BBM should be fine with the same BlackBerry ID and it can just keep switching between the 2 devices.
If I am using local contacts and calendars, is there an easy switch to keep them sync on both Z10 and Q10?
There are also other information to sync in Password Keeper, Remember...etc.
Is there a solution?

Hello,
For calendar and contacts, there is this:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Q10/How-To-OTA-Sync-BB10-and-non-BES-Outlook-Overv...
With that, I actually keep all of the following in sync:
Two instances of Desktop Outlook (2007 and 2010)
Z10
PlayBook
Outlook.com
And, before I decommissioned it, also an Android device. Any device that can synchronize with Outlook.com can use this solution to keep in sync for calendar and contacts. You, of course, need to not use solely local contacts and calendar but instead keep them synchronizing with Outlook.com.
For the other things you mention, I know of no solutions other than backup/restore...but I do not recall if LINK offers the selective method for those.
Good luck!

Need help editing for 14:9 broadcast -- what's the best strategy?

Hi,
I work for a station which broadcasts in 14:9. I can cope easily with this when using full screen images by visualising, roughly, what will be lost on the left and right. But now I want to use split-screens and image collages using smaller, scaled down pictures, and want to be able to design the material precisely within a 14:9 frame so that none of the material is lost.
What's the best strategy for this? Is there a cartesian co-ordinate I shouldn't stray beyond -- or better, is there an easy way with a mask, perhaps, to show 14:9 within a 16:9 timeline. (I'll be editing with a 16:9 timeline). Can I somehow create two vertical lines to visually provide the limits of the 14 component of the aspect?
Many thanks for any help.
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Well, you could certainly create a mask in PhotoShop that is 720x480 wide, but has a 630x480 hole in it. Then bring it in and set its anamorphic flag and put it on the top Video layer to see a 14:9 window.
I arrived at 630 by multiplying 720x14 and dividing the result by 16...

What's the best way to clone my boot drive?

I just bought a new 500GB drive for my G4. What's the best way to clone my boot drive?
Is there a way to put the new drive on the buss as a second drive and then copy everything from my boot drive to the new drive? How do I make the new drive bootable?
Or
Do I have to install OSX on the new drive, put the old boot drive on the buss as a second drive and migrate everything to the new drive with the Utilities Migration Assitant program?
Are there programs available to make this easier? Where & how much?
Thanks for any help I can get.

bamim2:
Dr. Smoke's FAQ Backup and Recovery has excellent advice on developing a backup strategy.
You already have a larger extrnal HDD (Hopefully it is firewire?) The next step is to format and partition the HDD. (see step-by-step below). And thirdly you will need a good cloning utility. Carbon Copy Cloner has already been suggested, and the latest version is excellent. I, personally, prefer SuperDuper for its ease of use and efficiency. Both are great tools and relatively simple to use.
I mentioned the hope that you have a firewire. One of the wonderful benefits of using an external firewire HDD for backing up is that you can make a bootable clone. This gives you an emergency boot drive in case of a problem. It also gives you an external device for running diagnostics and repairs from the extnernal to the computer and vice-versa.
Congratulations on taking the first step toward securing your computer and your data!
Formatting, Partitioning Zeroing a Hard Disk Drive
Warning! This procedure will destroy all data on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure you have an up-to-date, tested backup of at least your Users folder and any third party applications you do not want to re-install before attempting this procedure.
Boot from the install CD holding down the "C" key.
Select language
Go to the Utilities menu (Tiger) Installer menu (Panther & earlier) and launch Disk Utility.
Option for formatting an External HDD
Connect external HDD to computer
Turn on external HDD
Start up computer and log in
Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch DU.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
Select number of partition in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
(Note 1: One partition is normally preferable for an internal HDD. External HDDs usually have more than one. See Dr. Smoke’s FAQ Backup and Recovery for tips on partitioning external HDD
Note 2: For more partitions than one, after you have selected the number of partitions you can adjust the size of the partition by selecting the top partition and typing in the size; then move down if more adjustments need to be made..)
Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
Select Erase tab
Select the sub-volume (indented) under Manufacturer ID (usually Macintosh HD).
Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
Optional: Select on Security Options button (Tiger) Options button (Panther & earlier).
Select Zero all data. (This process will map out bad blocks on your HDD. However, it could take several hours. If you want a quicker method, don't go to Security Options and just click the Erase button.)
Click OK.
Click Erase button
Quit Disk Utility.
Good luck.

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)

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

Applying common styles to multiple HNCS: What is the best practice?

Hi Community
Adhering to best practices, we have built a SharePoint 2013 intranet with multiple Host Named Site Collections all accessible via HTTPs, for example
https://home.domain.com   - Landing Page
https://this.doamin.com
https://that.domain.com
https://other.domain.com
We have noticed issues with the home page on each site having an affect on the Meta Data Navigation Menu so thought it was time we reviewed our references.
Ok, we want to have a common master page and CSS, JavaScript, Fonts etc throughout the intranet. So what is the best way of implementing this
and what is a candidate provision strategy say from Dev
My thoughts are copy a common custom master page to each Master Page Gallery but with options as to how we reference external files
Option 1: replicate on each of the HNSCs:
Local copies of CSS, JS etc in •   /siteAssets/ and or, •   /Style Library/syles.css Or
Option 2: explicit reference to the styles held on the home site   collection
The master page might have common reference to
https://home.domain.com/SiteAssets/css/styles.css
Or
Option 3: use the _layouts file structure - not my favourite as not accessible in SPD 2013 or using sp2013 built in document management
Use the hive and not the content database structure. Hence, all master pages would have references similar to: •   _layouts/15/styles/mystyles.css •   _layouts/15/images/client/home.jpg
Would be interested to hear you thoughts as clearly there is more that one way to achieve styles nirvana!

Hi Daniel,
If you need to use the master page for multiple site collections, then you’d better to choose the option 2 or options 3, as you do not need to make copies of the CSS or JS files and re-upload them to each site collection.
And per my knowledge, option 3 is better. Because the CSS or JS files are stored at the local system of SharePoint server in option 3, it is faster than referring a file which is stored in database in option 2.
Generally, it depends based on your situation as you don’t like option 3 when the CSS or JS files are not accessible in SPD.

What is the best practice about IT Organization?

Hi IT and SAP Specialist,
I am SAP operation team lead in a company. And I'd like to make ISP (Information Strategy Plan) including ERP.
So could you let me know what is the best IT's organization.
And if it is possible, please consult my company organiztion about ERP.
I would like to explain my company Organization very roughly.
ERP ->
Local : Two factories. - SAP ESS6.0
Vietnam : Two factories. - SAP Business One
China : Three factories. - Chinese local ERP.
IT Organization ->
Local : Factory : 3 peoples, Head Office : 3 people, Legacy programer (Web) : 4 peoples SAP sustaining team : 4 peoples
Vietnam : 2 people.
China : 3 people
I think GSI (Global Single Incident ) is good solution for our company. For it, I should merge IT organization. And I will implemente SAP ESS 6.0 in the other plant.
But I don't know what is benefit or not. I need somebody's help. Please give me some comment for me.
Thank you so much.

Really? Honestly?
You ask that in a coffee corner?
How can you even think that there is any one that would even attempt to give you a 'best' IT strucutre. There is no such thing. Every organization is different. SAP is just one small part of most IT orgs. What about email? File Servers? Desktop support? Network infrastructure? Database support? Do you have everything in SAP? Mail? HR? Customer service? Qualty control? product specs? Asset tracking? Do you use SAP to actually run the mfg equipment? Who supports those computers?
There are consulting firms that get paid big dollars to do organizational reviews and make recommendations to CIO's on staffing levels. It's no small undertaking. Every org is different due to business needs, industry, (pharma vs. chemical vs. autos), support levels desired (24 hrs? 12 hrs?), customer base (worldwide? Regional? local?), no. of employees, government regulations, etc. etc.. etc..
If you have no ideas of what the benefit would be for you to merge you organizations how the heck would we? I would recommend you talk to some local consulting firms or maybe poll your peers at an industry meeting of some sort. Some universities and colleges often have professors that are willing to provide expertise in this.

What is the best way to audit data

What is the best way to audit actual changes in the data, that is, to be able to see each insert, update, delete on a given row, when it happened, who did it, and what the row looked like before and after the change?
Currently, we have implemented our own auditing infrastructure where we generate standard triggers and an audit table to store OLD (values at the beginning of the Before Row timing point) and NEW (values at the beginning of the After Row timing point) values for every change.
I'm questioning this strategy because of the performance impact it has (significant, to say the least) and because it's something that a developer (confession, I'm the developer) came up with, rather than something a database administrator came up with. I've looked into Oracle Auditing, but this doesn't seem like we'd be able to go back and see what a row looked like at a given point in time. I've also looked at Flashbacks, but this seems like it would require a monumental amount of storage just to be able to go back a week, much less the years we currently keep this data.
Thanks,
Matt Knowles

1. Implement your own custom auditing (as you currently do)
2. Flashback Data Archive (11g). Requires license.
3. Version enable your tables with Workspace Manager.

Unfortunately, auditing data always takes lots of space. You must also consider performance, as custom triggers and Workspace Manager will perform much slower than FDA if there is heavy DML on the table.

What is the best way to update Currency information in SRM?

Dear Experts,
there was additional information introduced in R/3, with respect to a certain currency (this currecy got a second abbreviation, whereas the first abbreviation was set as the primary ISO code).
Can you please help me understand, what is the best way to get this additional information updated in SRM 7.0 (Classic)?
- Do we replicate via the DNL_CUS_BASIS3 object?...and if yes, do we replicate from Development R/3 system to development SRM system and than transport it to SRM Quality and Production...or do we replicate level by level, i.e. from R/3 development to SRM development and than from R/3 Quality to SRM Quality and so on...
OR
- Do we update this change manually in SRM Development and than transport it to SRM Quality and Production?
Thank you very much.

Please elabotate what additional information regarding currency you need to update.
As per std. SRM we may use "BBP_GET_CURRENCY" that will update currency details from ECC to SRM.
But always you may add on required fields as required using enhancements.

What is the best way to move tablespace

i have to move one big tablespace (with 130-140 datafiles) from one instance to another (it's oracle 10.2.0.0.4), so what is the best way to do it?

anfy2002us wrote:
yeah and i think that transportable tablespace it the best way, but for such big database it might take several day, and there is no way to go offline for several daysWell, With TTS, Oracle won't actually export/import the data, it only export and import the metadata related to the tablespace and the schemas and tables of course. Most time you need to spend on the operation is copying files at OS level on storage. So it won't take days to copy the files unless your storage is terribly slow.

What is the best way to archive old footage (DVD, VHS, Super 8 etc.)

Hello,
I am starting a huge archiving projet of possibley 100-200 hours of footage from all kinds of sources (VHS tapes, Mini DV, Super 8 film).
What is the best way to archive this footage at the highest possible resolution?
What sort of file should be saved?
Im a complete starter at this.
Thank you!

One strategy is to purchase a Canopus ADVC300 analog/dv converter. It has a TBC incorporated.
You connect your original source material (for example - VHS deck) to the Canopus via analog cables then from the Canopus via firewire to your computer. This will turn everything into DV format.
Play the tape through the canopus and record to your hard drive.
Take good notes for each tape. Create a logging sheet and make notes as the system captures.
Once you have the tapes in the computer, break them into 1 hr or less segments by some reasonable system - chronologically, by personalities, locations or whatever makes sense to you.
Then write out each 1 hour segment back to a DV recorder. Give each tape a unique reel number - and make the reel number part of the file name on the computer.
When you are done in a year or two ( lol ) you should have two matching sets of material - one on the hard drives and one on tape - with names that make it easy to cross reference and a binder full of logging information. If you want to be fully digital, look into a nifty application like CatDV. It will help organize a mass of video info like this.
DV runs at ~13-14GB/ hr. Plan you storage accordingly.
Purchase professional quality DV tapes - not drugstore junk.
Good luck.
