Wiki blog best practice for teachers

I am running Web services on a 10.5.8 server with wiki, blog, and calendar features enabled for a particular group.
What is the best practice for allowing a teacher to post assignments, media, etc., to his/her page while also allowing students to submit assignments (in video form) up on that page - BUT not allow them to edit the part the teacher has entered? It sounds like it should be a blog “comment”, but that does not allow them to upload files. I see there is the capability to “allow some group” members to write to this page – but how do I select which users (does not take me to a user selection option) - not sure that this is indeed what I am looking for anyway. If I allow all members to edit the page (wiki), there is little control for the page owner (teacher) to reduce student error, sabotage, or intentional goofiness.
Thanks for any advice.

Best practices for office 365 SHARED CALENDAR for whole school / organization

hi
we need guidance on best practice for setting up SHARED CALENDAR on Office365 exchange server for entire organization (school)of150 staff.
Requirements
+ all staff should have read only / reviewer permissions on calendar
+handful staff should have editor permissions on calendar
+ the calendar should synchronise custom categories and colors
Current Solution
at the moment we have found that a shared mailbox is the best solution because;
- allusers can add the shared mailbox on outlook 2010as additional mailbox as readonly
- all the categories & colors for the calendarare automatically synchronised because the color categories are stored within this mailbox.
- you can edit calendar permissions in outlook to allow some users as "editor" of the calendar.Problem with Current Solution
the problem however is that the users also need to access this...

Hi Aleksei,
I think Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online is the feature that you want. This feature makes it possible for you to preserve (store and archive) the contents of deleted mailboxes indefinitely.
A mailbox becomes inactive when an In-Place Hold or a
Litigation Hold is placed on the mailbox before the corresponding Office 365 user account is deleted.
But I'm afraid that it might be impossible to "easily share certain folders or even whole mailbox with people in the company". As can been seen from below articles, this only allows administrators, compliance officers, or records managers
to use the In-Place eDiscovery feature in Exchange Online to access and search the contents of an inactive mailbox:

Best Practice for External Libraries Shared Libraries and Web Dynrpo

Two blogs have been written on sharing libraries with Web Dynpro DC, but I would
like to know the best practice for doing this.
External libraries seem to work great at compile time, but when deploying there is often an error related to the external library not being a deployed component.
Is there a workaround for this besides creating a shared J2EE library which I have been able to get working? I am not interested in something that works, but really
what are the best practice for this. What is the best way to limit the number of jars that need to be kept in a shared library/ext library. When is sharing ref service/etc a valid approach vs. hunting down the jars in the portal libraries etc and storing in an external library.

Security is mainly about mitigation rather than 100% secure, "We have unknown unknowns". The component needs to talk to SQL Server. You could continue to use http to talk to SQL Server, perhaps even get SOAP Transactions working but personally
I'd have more worries about using such a 'less trodden' path since that is exactly the areas where more security problems are discovered. I don't know about your specific design issues so there might be even more ways to mitigate the risk but in general you're
using a DMZ as a decent way to mitigate risk. I would recommend asking your security team what they'd deem acceptable.

Best practice for mouseless ADF applications

I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse.
So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
I am already using the accessKey functionality and subforms defaultCommand
But I have had problems setting focus to objects on a page like tables. I would like a button to return the focus to the table after it has made the command like delete.
I have implemented a solution where I have found inspiration several threads and other webpages (see below).
Is this solution okay?
Are there any problems with it?
I would also like to know if there are better pathways to go like
out of the box solutions,

Hi,
I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse. So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
Well HTML (and this is the user interface you see) follows a tab index navigation that you follow with "tab" and "shift+tab". Anything else is a short cut for which you use mnemonics (as you already do) or shortcuts (explained in http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html). There is a distinction to make between non-web environments (which I think you and your users have abackground in) and client desktop environments. Browsers block some keyboard functionality for their own purpose. So you may have to find a list of keys first that work across browsers. Unlike desktop clients, which allow you to "press a button" without the button to take focus, this cannot be done on the web. So you need to be clever here, avoiding buttons at all.
The following paper is about JavaScript in ADF and explains the basics for what Chris Muir explains in : http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/1-2011-javascript-302460.pdf
It has the outline for how to register short cut keys that perform a specific action (e.g. register ctrl+d to delete the current row you are on, or press F11 to execute a query (similar to Oracle Forms frmres files)). However, be aware that this includes some code you have to write (actually quite some code to be honest).
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/79-global-template-button-strategy-360139.pdf (are there an example implementation?), or
http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
Actually these are implementations as they come with example code for you to use and customize, do they? So what is this question asking for more ? Also note that global buttons don't quite have anything in common with the question you asked. I assume you want to see it as an implementation of the Forms toolbar that operates on the form or table the focus is in. This however does not work for the web as there is nothing that keeps track of which component has a focus and to what iterator (data block) it belongs. This would involve even more coding (though possibly doable)

Best practice for RDGW placement in RDS 2012 R2 deployment

Hi,
I have been setting up a RDS 2012 R2 farm deployment and the time has come for setting up the RDGW servers. I have a farm with 4 SH servers, 2 WA servers, 2 CB servers and 1 LS.
Farm works great for LAN and VPN users.
Now i want to add two domain joined RDGW servers.
The question is; I've read a lot on technet and different sites about how to set the thing up, but no one mentions any best practices for where to place them.
Should i:
- set up WAP in my DMZ with ADFS in LAN, then place the RDGW in the LAN and reverse proxy in
- place RDGW in the DMZ, opening all those required ports into the LAN
- place the RDGW in the LAN, then port forward port 443 into it from internet
Any help is greatly appreciated.
This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights

Hi,
The deployment is totally depends on your & company requirements as many things to taken care such as Hardware, Network, Security and other related stuff. Personally to setup RD Gateway server I would not prefer you to select 1st option. But as per my research,
for best result you can use option 2 (To place RDG server in DMZ and then allowed the required ports). Because by doing so outside network can’t directly connect to your internal server and it’s difficult to break the network by any attackers. A perimeter
network (DMZ) is a small network that is set up separately from an organization's private network and the Internet. In a network, the hosts most vulnerable to attack are those that provide services to users outside of the LAN, such as e-mail, web, RD Gateway,
RD Web Access and DNS servers. Because of the increased potential of these hosts being compromised, they are placed into their own sub-network called a perimeter network in order to protect the rest of the network if an intruder were to succeed. You can refer
beneath article for more information.

Best Practice for Tranport request Naming

Hi,
We are using SolMan 4.0 during implementation of ECC 6.0.
We have placed the blueprint and we are in configuration phase.
We have a IMG project created in the DEV system and was assinged in Solution Manager project under System Landscape->IMG Projects.
Now that consultants are going to dev system and customizing they are creating their transport requests.
Is there any best practice for the naming convention or the transport requests..
By creating one IMG project for entire implementation is that going to create any problem..!!
Please sgugest.
Thanks & Regards

As per MSFT best practices(Mentioned by Scott) keep it short as much as possible. You can use SP for SharePoint-SUBSite
also check this blog for best practices.
http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/simple-naming-conventions-improve-end-user-experience-sharepoint-sites
also one more thing you should consider, never use the reserved words into the SharePoint URLs. you will able to create the site/lis/library/folder but when you browse get the 404 errors.

Best practice for consuming web services

Hi
we are consuming web service in orchestration by "Add Generated Item".By using this option it creates 1 orch,1xsd file and some bindings.
we have different projects for schemas,maps and orchestration under our solution in visual studio.
Now i need to know that what will be the best practice for consuming web service in orchestration i mean in which project should i use "add generated item" (in orchstration project or in schemas project) coz it generates both 1 orch and 1
schema.
thanks

From a service orientation perspective you should abstract the service artifacts from the other artifacts. Otherwise it will be very difficult to update the service interface without affecting the other artifacts. For example you don't want to have to redeply
your entire application if only one field changes in the service you consume.
So I typically generate the items, remove the unnecessary stuff, and put them in a separate project.
Depending on the control you have over the services you want to consume, it would even be better to create another layer of abstraction. By that I mean create your own interface (schema) and map that one to the one the service exposes. This basically
is only necessary if you consume external services that are beyond your control. By abstracting the interface it exposes, you limit the impact of changes of that interface on the rest of your system. All changes are abstracted behind your own interface.
If you consume internal services, you can probably control the way the interface is defined. In a service oriented world all internal services expose a well known interface, based on the domain objects you have within your organisation.

Best practice for calc measures

Hi,
I read in one of the olap blog from experts which says that best practice for creating the calc measures is to have them in a seperate cube.
My question is that suppose I have two cubes in a AW of different dimensionality. Both the cubes has some calc measures to be created.
So can I create one more cube(dedicated to calc measures) considering all the available dimensions in the AW and create the calc measures for both the cube which has different dimensionality?
If I cannot do this then this means that if I have two cubes having different dimensionality then I would need two more cubes to create the calc measures for them? if yes then what would be the size implecation of the AW?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Brijesh

"Can I create one more cube(dedicated to calc measures) considering all the available dimensions in the AW and create the calc measures for both the cube which has different dimensionality?"
Yes, you can.
This is a pretty common thing to do. Store your base measures efficiently and then use calculated measures with the 'superset' dimensionality to bring different shaped measures together for the purposes of calculations or simply to get them all in one 'hypercube' to simplify access by SQL query tools and apps.

Best practice for licence server for RDS Farm & Certificate errors

Hello,
I am in the process of creating an RDS farm using Server 2008 R2. I have three Session Hosts and a Connection Broker.
I have a set of 10 user CALs available and also another 20 on our current RDS server which will need migrating once we go live with the farm.
I understand the User CALs need to be installed on another Server 2008 R2 and I am wondering what is best practice. We are running on an entirely virtual environment and it would be simple enough to create another server and install the CALs on there.
The only issue with that is that I would need to create a replica of this new machine for DR purposes, but this would take up valuable space which may not be necessary.
We are planning on creating replicas of one of the Session hosts and the broker for DR, so I am guessing I would need to install some CALs on the Session Host which is going to be replicated.
There are a few options and I am just wondering what is the best way to go about things.
Also, as an aside, I am getting an annoying certificate error each time I log a test user onto the RDS farm - I think this is because I am using the DNS alias of the RDS Farm to log on. Is there an easy way to get around this, other than the 'Do not show
this message again'. I have been doing some research and the world of Certificates is very confusing!!
Thanks,
Caroline
C.Rafferty

Hi Caroline,
Firstly for your License related issue, you can perform the step on any VM or can create the new VM as replica for RDSH server also. But please be sure that you have installed RD License server on it, activate it and then install RDS CAL on it. But be safe
if possible don’t install RD License server with RDCB, please make that out of it as little away. As you can also install RD License server with AD or make replica of that and install RDL on that.

Best practice for promoting roles

I would like to know what is the best practices for promoting Administrative and/or normal Roles between environments. If I make a change to the capabilities of a role, I'd rather not create a whole new build if I didn't have to.

Best practice for releases/iterations

I'm working with scenario 2+. I read all the tutorials and articles about JDI and branches (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?
blog=/pub/wlg/2408) but I couldnt find the answer about how to approach small versions and releases. Working with JDI, what is the best practice for small versions and for releases? Should I create a new track/branch for each release (1.0, 2.0) ? What should I do for iterations/small versions (1.1, 1.2, 2.1)? Could you tag a group of DCs so then you could return to that tagged version?
Thanks a lot for your reply!

Hi Deborah,
how you deal with SCs, SC versions and tracks depends on your use case.
If you are doing in-house-development there is often no need to maintain other than the last release. So you can work with one SC version and one track. But you can also work with several SC versions and tracks. This enables you to come back to a former release (or version) if you made some critical errors.
If you write software for different customers you always have to create a new SC version (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, ...) and then a new track if you implement new features. Your old releases have to be maintained. So you have to have a track as a basis for maintance.
If you say 'My customers always get the latest release even if they did not pay for the new features' you can of course work with a lower amount of SC versions and tracks.
The answer to your question 'Could you tag a group of DCs...' is: NO.
You have to create a new SC version and a new track.
There may also be other approaches but I hope this helps a bit.
Regards
Helmut

Best practice for copying help...

I am creating a webhelp project to be accessed from an internal homegrown intranet app(by clicking on a help button within the app it fires up the help screens in a new window).... I published the help out to a network share however now in testing opening this from my app it takes a long time to fire up the new window...
Is there a best practice for this type of scenario?? Do I need a way to copy the help project down locally for each user? If so what is the best technique being that they are accessing the help in a webapp not a winapp?
Thanks!

Hi there
Typically you leave WebHelp on a server and access it from wherever. That's the beauty of it.
You might begin by creating a simple shortcut or hyperlink from your desktop to open the help. Check the time it takes. If it opens really fast, you know there is an issue to be addressed with the way your application is opening it.
Cheers... Rick
