Hi,
When defining an InfoCube, characteristics for dimensions are grouped together to enable them to be stored in a star schema table (dimension table).
The grouping of classification groups (characteristics) whose content is logically connected, under a single generic term. If the dimension contains a characteristic whose value already uniquely determines the values of all other characteristics from a business-orientated viewpoint, then the dimension is named after this characteristic.                                                      
The customer dimension could, for example, be made up of the customer number, the customer group and the levels of the customer hierarchy.
The sales dimension could contain the characteristics ‘sales person’, ‘sales group’ and ‘sales office’.                                            
The time dimension could be given using the characteristics ‘day’ (in the form YYYYMMDD), ‘week’ (in the form YYYY.WW), ‘month’ (in the form YYYY.MM), ‘year’ (in the form YYYY) and ‘period’ (in the form YYYY.PPP).
If related char are in different dimensions it will affect the reporting performance.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
JituK

    We use win2003,win2008,win2012 servers.
    I heard somewhere that Microsoft recommendation threshold of disk usage monitoring is ( free disk space >= 15- 20 %) , if I remember correctly, but how about CPU usage and memory usage monitoring ?

  • What is the guideline and/or best practice for EMC setup on ASM?

    We are going to use EMC CX4-480 for ASM storage on RAC. What is the guideline and best practice for EMC setup on ASM?
    Thanks for the advice!

    Probably a poor choice of words. Sorry.
    So basically, I have gotten further, but I just noticed related problem.
    I'm using the WebServices(WS) 1.0. I insert an account, then, on a separate WS call, I insert my contacts for the account. I include the AccountID, and a user defined key from the Account when creating the Contact.
    When I look at my Contact on the CRMOD web page, it shows the appropriate links back to the Account. But when I look at my Account on the CRMOD web page, it shows no Contacts.
    So when I say workflow or Best Practice, I was hoping for guidance on how to properly write my code to accomplish all of the necessary steps. As in this is how you insert an account with a contact(s) and it updates the appropriate IDs so that it shows up properly on the CRMOD web pages.
    Based on the above, it looks like I need to, as the next step, take the ContactID and update the Account with it so that their is a bi-directional link.
    I'm thinking there is a better way in doing this.
    Here is my psuedocode:
    AccountInsert()
    AccountID = NewAcctRec
    ContactInsert(NewAcctRec)
    ContactID = NewContRec
    AccountUpdate(NewContRec)
    Thanks,

  • What do you find to be best practice when it comes to writing AS code to manage a big app ?

    Right now I am considering 3 options:
    1) I write all the code in a root component that extends group for example like this:
    <s:Application>
         <s:AppGroup>
                   <s:List />
         </s:AppGroup>
    </s:Application>
    So in it I will write the code to manage the list. Ok but Imagine now I have 10 views inside that AppGroup each having a list which needs to be managed. So here comes my option 2.
    2) I write code in the AppGroup component to manage what's on it's level and for new level (view for example) I create another component like ViewGroup1, ViewGroup2 etc which extends group or something else and I write code in it to manage what's inside of it. This looks like this:
    <s:Application>
         <s:AppGroup>
              <s:ViewGroup1>
                   <s:List />
              </s:ViewGroup1>
              <s:ViewGroup2>
                   <s:List />
              </s:ViewGroup2>
         </s:AppGroup>
    </s:Application>
    So this time the code to manage the views will be in AppGroup and the code for managing the Lists will be in the ViewGroup1/2 component.
    3) of course sometimes mixed architecture if for example the ViewGroup1 is very simple and doesn't have list but a label or something like that the code could be written in the AppGroup.
    What do you think of this code structure? Is my logic good or there's something else considered a best practice at the moment ? Thanks!

    Thank you all for the thoughts. Could we please stick to flex only for now...
    Currently I have a project where I see this structure:
    <Application creationComplete="init();">
         <fx:Script source="MainApp.as" /> - all initialization code is here
         <components /> - many components
    </Application>
    In the creation complete of the Application which is in MainApp.as, dataProviders are set and a controller class is initiated to which the Application is passed as Object and everything is manipulated from that controller. As you mentioned I guess you can always create additional controllers and pass them the Application or some other components from which they could start controlling so to speak.
    I am not sure if this structure is good or not, I started comparing it with mine and I ended up here...
    What I see at this point compared to mine is that:
    - in the included MainApp.as in Application I have question marks when i type something like "stage" in a function, I needs me to type "this.stage", which I don't like. To me it looks like including is bad and maybe everything should have started with creationComplete in the Application mxml with importing and initiating the controller with passing him the Application right away. Is that correct?
    - in the example given above, after MainApp initiates the controller by passing him the Application, the controller looses all of the nice code hints since now the Application is an object... maybe it's wrong for it to be object ? Should it be something else?
    Compared to my approach when I separate my logic into AS Group which is then extended as MXML Group. All I have to do is declare the instances in AS which I have as IDs in MXML and voila... I can control them and write their logic with all the nice code hints present.
    So basicly at this point you say instead of extending Group in AS every time I want to separate logic, write a controller right ?
    Here is what I summarized for now:
    1) Create a RootController class
    2) Initiate it in the creation complete of the Application passing the Application (as what type - object or something else?)
    3) manage all logic in that controller
    4) if parts of the application are too complex they can be separated into additional controllers.
    5) the RootController can initiate SubControllers which can initiate SubSubControllers
    6) to all controllers a component must be passed as a starting point for the logic
    Is this correct? If yes, what about the code hinting compared to my approach?
    Would be very nice if someone of you could make a very very very simple app with the model you are talking about, or if you have an article you took it from share the link! Thanks!

  • What are default Zend Session handling best practices to prevent Cross Site Request Forgery?

    I have enjoyed the David Powers book Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP:  Training from the Source - and have put many of the examples into practice.  I have a security related concern that may be tied to the Zend::Auth example in the book.  While this is installed an working on my site:
    <?php
    $failed = FALSE;
    if ($_POST) {
      if (empty($_POST['username']) || empty($_POST['password'])) {
        $failed = TRUE;
      } else {
        require_once('library.php');
        // check the user's credentials
        try {
          $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
          $adapter = new Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable($dbRead, 'user', 'login', 'user_pass', 'sha1(?)');
          $adapter->setIdentity($_POST['username']);
          $adapter->setCredential($_POST['password']);
          $result = $auth->authenticate($adapter);
          if ($result->isValid()) {
            $storage = $auth->getStorage();
            $storage->write($adapter->getResultRowObject(array(
              'ID', 'login',  'user_first', 'user_last', 'user_role')));
            header('Location: /member/index.php');
            exit;
          } else {
            $failed = TRUE;
        } catch (Exception $e) {
          echo $e->getMessage();
    if (isset($_GET['logout'])) {
      require_once('library.php');
      try {
        $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
        $auth->clearIdentity();
      } catch (Exception $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage();
    Apparently, there is  very limited protection against Cross Site Request Forgery, where the resulting SessionID could be easily hijacked?  I am using the Zend Community edition (I have 1.11.11).     I have an observation from a client that this authentication is not up to snuff. 
    To boil it down: 
    1.  Is there a Zend configuration file that might have some settings to upgrade the Session and or authentication security basics? I'm wondering specifically about the settings in /library/Zend/session.php? Ie secure the session against a changing user IP, and invoking some other session handling stuff (time-out etc). 
    2.  If I understand it correctly, "salting" won't help with this, unless it's added/checked via a hidden POST at login time? 
    Ideally, the man himself, David Powers would jump in here - but I'll take any help I can get!
    Thanks!

    Might ask them over here.

  • What is "SAP Best Practices Baseline Versions"?

    Could you help explain what is the relationship between "SAP Best Practices Baseline Versions " and
    other SAP products?
    Thanks!

    1)SAP Best Practices Baseline Versions will deliver preconfigured organizational settings for different scenarios with regard to the following areas: common organizational structures, logistic organizational structures, and intercompany organizational structures. these can be implemented on any of the component based on the platform availability, and cannot be directly used. For example with out installing an SAP sysetm you cannot implement baseline versions. So the relation would be Component or Product is primarily available to use the secondary component i.e Baseline versions on it.
    The SAP Best Practices Baseline Package is available in different country versions (for example, for France, Nordics, Germany,
    the United States, and the U.K.). The scope of these localized versions might differ depending on country-specific needs. Please check this link: http://www.sap.com/services/pdf/BWP_SAP_Best_Practices_for_Baseline_Package.pdf
    2)The other products are
    Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
    Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
    Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
    Supply Chain Management (SCM)
    Supplier Relationship Management (SRM)
    The SAP NetWeaver technology platform enables the composition, provisioning, and management of SAP and non-SAP applications across a heterogeneous software environment (release version from 640 to 700 and above)  Prior to the introduction of SAP NetWeaver as an integrated technology platform, SAP has developed a number of integration technologies and offered them as individual products, among them for example SAP Enterprise Portal, or SAP Exchange Infrastructure.

  • Best practice in HCM

    Hi,
    1) Can you please advise,what all processes comes under SAP Best Practices for HCM?
    2) What all infotypes comes under Payroll implementations?
    Thanks!
    Manish

    Hi,
    You can read every thread in this forum.
    1.Personnel Administration - it deals with the HR Master Data
    2.Organization Management - It deals with the personnel planning all about Business Units,Cost centers etc this will give the picture how your organization look virtually.
    Keep these modules as base must know modules
    3 Time Management - This manages employee times ,leaves,quotas,shifts,working schedules etc working patterns etc
    CATS ,Cross Application Time sheets
    Shift Planning etc are part of Time Management but these are individually separate knowledge of these is not necessary when you start your career going forward it would be helpful to grow.
    4.Payroll- This manages employee payment part and payment including the off cycle payments
    These 4 can be considered to be the basic modules of HCM
    5 Recruitment -Deals with process of recruitment from manpower planning to on-boarding
    Apart from these we have
    6.Benefits -which deals with the fringe benefits (applicable to USA ) and some other countries-I t deals with the insurance ,medical etc
    7,ESS/MSS This is self service module employee self service and manager self service these are Portal based modules
    We have new generation modules
    Such(8) E- Recruitment this deals with the E Recruitment this is portal based modules
    Learning Solution
    Succession Planning
    Personnel Development
    Talent Visualization by Nakisa
    Enterprise compensation Management (this is again a separate module)
    These all part of Talent Management Suite and portal based modules knowing these would give you an edge.
    This module is very upcoming and hot
    To become an effective HCM consultant you need have good business process knowledge combined with the any of 4 to modules (indepth)
    Outside HCM if you knowledge of HR ABAP and MS Excel and MS Word of great advantage.
    To start your choose Personnel Management,Org Management combined with Time Management and Payroll

  • Best Practice E-Business 12.1.3/11gR2 Hardware Configuration

    Hi
    We are in the design phase for a new install of E-Business 12.1.3 / 11gR2
    From a hardware services point, what is deemed to be the "best practice"?
    Option 1
    1 x Web/Forms Node
    1 x Concurrent Manager Node
    1 x Database ode
    Option 2
    1 x web/forms/concurrent manager node
    1 x database node
    Option 3
    1 x web/forms/concurrent manager/database node
    In the past I have always gone with Option 2 so that the database traffic is minimised between conc managers / database. That to me seemed most logical. But wanted to ask the oracle community about their thoughts
    We are using redhat linux / Cisco Blades (USC/VMWARE) and all connecting to a NetApp FAS3270.
    PLease advise if you pick this up.
    Thanks

    Exactly what I was thinking but its nice to get someone elses clarity too.
    The PCP option is certainly something I need to take into consideration - but with the new abilities of 12.1.3 cloning processes - it would be easy enough to split the admin Conc Nodes away at a later date should the requirement exist.
    i.e.
    Initially have 1 x forms/web server plus 1 x database / concurrent manager node
    If we need to go to PCP and / or forms load balancing
    we could easily go to 2 x forms / web server and add the Conc Node into it brining in PCP too.
    I have to admist, the way Oracle have sorted the cloning process is 12 is very good indeed.
    Do you agree?I totally agree :)
    You just need to run preclone on the source apps tier node, then copy the files to the second node (add new node), and run adcfgclone.pl/adaddnode.pl scripts.

  • Order Process Best Practice Suggestions?

    Hey CF World,
    I have to revamp an online order process. The process is broken into 4 steps.
    The app as it exists today was built by a different developer and for the life of me, I have wasted about 5 hours trying to figure out exactly what the person is doing in the code just so I can make some basic tweaks to the process.
    Could anyone offer what might be considered today's best practice for a step by step order process?
    The thought is, if the user could complete step 1, upon clicking next the data elements of the form would be validated and then they would be taken to step 2, etc, etc... until the end where upon submission, the order would then be written to the database and next process triggered internally.
    Should I have one page that upon submit of step 1 cycles back to itself, processes the data and then loads a separate div of info for step 2 or...?
    Any suggestions would be great.  Thank you so much in advance for your help, I sincerely appreciate it.
    Ciao'
    D.

    Hello,
    Thank you so much for that. Let me qualify a few things as I probably should have in the first place. (my apologies)
    Coldfusion 8
    SQL Server  2005
    There is no payment or credit card information being provided.
    The user comes online, goes through a basic order process for some work to be done. As mentioned, it is a multi step process for gathering their information.
    Once the entire order is in and all the fields validated along the way to ensure they were populated where required, the order is to be written into the pending orders table and an email is sent to the branch closest to the customer notifying them of the new order with a link into the details. The branch then calls them directly to confirm the details of the order before activating it.
    So, the code I received, is next to impossible to follow through, for the life of me I can not figure out what the former developer has done. I need to make some changes to the process and if I can not even follow the flow to figure out where to make my changes, that could pose a problem.
    I have not coded too much in Coldfusion for the past two years but did so quite extensively before that. I totally agree on the CFTransaction suggestion. I guess what I was looking for is, are there any best practices for coding that I should be aware of, especially considering what I want to accomplish? Previously we used the "fusebox" concept of coding and had most of our code in CustomTags in a very reusable and easy to follow structure and flow.
    Any thoughts/suggestions would be great! Thank you very much!

  • Best Practice Suggestions?

    Hey CF World,
    I have to revamp an online order process. The process is broken into 4 steps.
    The app as it exists today was built by a different developer and for the life of me, I have wasted about 5 hours trying to figure out exactly what the person is doing in the code just so I can make some basic tweaks to the process.
    Could anyone offer what might be considered today's best practice for a step by step order process?
    The thought is, if the user could complete step 1, upon clicking next the data elements of the form would be validated and then they would be taken to step 2, etc, etc... until the end where upon submission, the order would then be written to the database and next process triggered internally.
    Should I have one page that upon submit of step 1 cycles back to itself, processes the data and then loads a separate div of info for step 2 or...?
    Any suggestions would be great.  Thank you so much in advance for your help, I sincerely appreciate it.
    Ciao'

    I'm not going to attempt to answer the user interface side, that's not my area of expertise.
    In terms of validation, ideally this should occur at three levels
    1) Client-side - immediate response. Traditionally this is Javascript. For instance, if the user tries to enter a letter into a numeric field, they get feedback as soon as they press the button.
    1a) Client side - on submit. Any extra validation (blank mandatory fields, comparison of fields) that doesn't require a trip to the server. Also traditionally Javascript.
    2) Application level. Assume that the user had Javascript disabled, and none of your previous validation had happened. Also, there are tools such as Firebug that let them edit your HTML before running it: adding extra items to a SELECT, for instance. Redo all previous validation!
    This is also where you check things against your database - and parameterise any database interface. SQL injection is a Bad Thing. Do as much as you can via stored procedures called by CFCs, and if your code only needs read access, use a datasource that only has read access.
    3) Database level. Assume they've somehow got in via a route other than your application: maybe a malicious or careless employee using command-line SQL. Enforce all business rules and all data integrity constraints at database level: constraints, triggers, whatever your database provides.
    Sounds horribly paranoid, doesn't it? But that trick of editing the SELECT is done by 13-year-olds hacking games, so if you're dealing with real money and adults, it's the sort of thing you have to allow for.

  • Best Practice - existence of details

    There are many ways to manage the question of existence of details. All will work. What I am interested in is Best Practice.
    Example. There is a Customer table in the source, and there are Sales tables (order and detail). However, some people are recorded as Customers but there are no Sales associated with them. I am only interested in passing forward into the mapping a) customers signed-up in a recent date range and b) customers with an associated sales record i.e. an order. Obviously Sales are in a zero-to-one-or-many relationship with Customer.
    In this scenario, I do not want any Sales data. I merely want to select Customers if Sales exist, and the Customers fit a category in Customer.
    So, I am asking what the OWB experts here consider Best Practice to perform an IF EXISTS test on a related record. What would the mapping look like?
    Regards,
    Donna

    Your solution should work, but test it against
    expected results, as I am not familiar in detail with
    your requirements. I did, and I get sub-second times. It is really fast.

    a) To create a bitmap index (non unique) in Oracle it
    is sufficient to issue a "create index INDEX_NAME on
    TABLE_NAME (COLUMN_NAME). You can achieve this with
    OWB by specifying NO_INDEX as index type in the
    configuration properties of the table (where you
    define indices).Umm. I do not want a bitmap index. I want a b-tree. Is that what you meant?

    b) To create a index-organized table, you have to add
    the "ORGANIZATION INDEX" clause to the create table
    command.Splendid. Thank you.

  • Questions VLAN design best practices

    As per best practices for VLAN design:
    1) Avoid using VLAN 1 as the “blackhole” for all unused ports.
    2) In the local VLANs model, avoid VTP (use transparent mode).
    Point 1
    In a big network, I'm having VLAN 1 as the blackhole VLAN. I'd like to confirm that, even if we're not complying with best practices, we're still doing fine.
    a) all trunk ports on all switches have the allowed vlans explicitly assigned.
    b) about all ports on all switches are assigned to specific data/voice vlans, even if shutted down
    c) the remaining ports (some unused sfp ports for example) are shutted down
    d) we always tag the native vlan (vlan dot1q tag native)
    So, no data is flowing anywhere on VLAN 1. In our situation, it is safe to use VLAN 1 as blackhole VLAN?
    Point 2
    Event if we're using local VLANs model, we have VTP in place. What are the reasons of the best practice? As already said, we allow only specific VLANs on trunk ports (it's part of our network policy), so we do not have undesired layer 2 loops to deal with.
    Any thoughs?
    Bye
    Dario

    We are currently using VTP version 3 and migrating from Rapid-PVST to MST.
    The main reason for having VTP in place (at least for use) is to have the ability to assign ports to the correct VLAN in each site simply looking at the propagated VLAN database and to manage that database centrally.
    We also avoid using the same VLAN ID at two different sites.
    However, I did find something to look deeped: with MST and VTP, a remote switch can be root for a VLAN it doesn't even use or as active ports into, and this doesn't feel right.
    An example:
    1) switch1 and switch528 share a link with allowed vlan 100
    2) switch1 is the root for instances 0 and 1
    4) VLAN 100 is assigned to instance 1
    5) VLAN 528 is not assigned to any particular instance so it goes under instance 0
    6) VLAN 528 is the Local Data LAN for switch528 (switch501 has VLAN 501)

  • Best practice for Recruitment

    Hi Guys,
    My client is located in 500 places, all over the India. The operational head of each client place will recruit the employee as & when requires & send ESI, PF enrollment forms to the Head Office.
    Now they are asking me,  what SAP Best Practice will suggest. Can any one tell me what is "SAP Best Practice" & what it suggests.
    Regards
    Prasad

    I think what they are looking for is Best Practices in SAP enabled Recruitment processes in light of the new hire forms (based on below statement).
    What that means is what is the right approach to do this based on different SAP Recruitment implementations.
    You may be able to get some of this information from SAP Service marketplace.
    Based on what I have seen, the best practice is to provide for an online tool (I think SAP E-Recruitment offers this) for the applicants to sign in with a given id and passwd and collect documents electronically. Then the paper documents can later be mailed to head office at a later date.
    Hope that helps.

  • Best Practices for a Legal Department Datamart/Datawarehouse

    Hello,
    Doaes anyone have a bestpractices document for a Legal Department DataMart/Datawarehouse?
    Thanks

    Over and above what I'd think where 'standard' best practices for data modelling couple with OBIEE develment? Off the top of my head Steve Hoberman wrote a few books on dimensional modelling with real world contexts, pretty sure I saw some legal models in there, maybe some cross over into insurance etc. etc.

  • Want the best practices docs on Oracle database Admin provided by Oracle

    Hi there,
    I looked at everywhere and didn’t find the best practices docs on Oracle database administration especially on creating db in oracle 10g dbs. I can find bits and pieces here and there. But I didn’t find all incorporated in one. Could somebody direct/provide me on this?

    ok, I'm not looking for the oracle provided manual to find out the best practices in db field. I'm looking for the best practices when creating the db in oracle db, for example. I can read all the oracle manual in Oracle tihiti world. But I don't know the most used and practical things to do when creating the db:- If I have to define what should be the best practices when creating the db, here are the checklist:
    Here are the best practices when creating the Oracle 10 DBs:
    1.     Create meaningful database name
    2.     Create the directory structure following the Optimal Flexible Architecture(OFA)
    a.     Give suffix for the redo log .LOG
    b.     Give suffix for the data file .DBF
    c.     Give suffix for the Control file .CTL
    3.     Enable Password complexity
    4.     Enable ARCHIVELOG Mode
    5.     Use User Oracle Managed File
    6.     Create separate tablespace for data files and Indexes
    7.     Put archive log in different multiple drives
    8.     Multiplex redo log files, and control file
    etc.
    I want to see what other db gurus considers the best practices in the field.
