What You Should Know About Forefront Identity Manager

Rabu, 25 Juni 2014

By Rhea Solomon


There is no organization that is able to stand to its feet without dedicated forefront identity manager . This is because there is nobody to oversee the work of others and motivate them to work harder. Talk of goals and objectives too whereby it will be like working towards nowhere. Hence there is need for administration of any organization for all work to run smoothly and efficiently.

In its broader view it means the organizing and coordinating of activities of the business so that a business organization is able to meet its objectives and goals. For this to happen there should be factors of production available and the principal to administer this.

But for the managers to do these functions as required, they are supposed to have skills, knowledge and experience on the same. Some of skills include conceptual skills, communication skills, human relations and technical skills. Technical skills is the professionalism and expertise they have that can be used to aid performance of various duties. Where the employees have no know9how, the manager can come in to assist them.

Human relations skills however are the most important. They go hand in hand with the staffing function. The skills are required so that the manager gets to know how to handle the employees in the organization; treating them fairly and motivating them so that they can be satisfied with the job environment for them to be more productive. Harsh managers are likely to build a poor working relationship with the manager and they are likely to produce poor results.

Controlling is another important function. It involves monitoring of activities and taking necessary measures to deal with any deviations if any. The manager does this by visiting all departments to see if there is any working on less capacity or identify any hitch in the entire production activities. This will avoid waste as some employees may not be keen in the production process. The manager can also use their skills to foresee any sides that are likely to reduce production to affect the business negatively and then take a necessary course of action.

Controlling is also another function that is supposed to be done by the managers. It involves monitoring the activities and operations in different departments to identify any deviations from what is planned and necessary measures taken to make it right. The manager identifies the department that is not working and decides on what to do. However problematic areas can be identified earlier enough and right measures taken.

At times the managers will need to delegate their power and authority to their juniors for a variety of reasons. They may want to relieve themselves from some work they do in the organization. They may also want to give the juniors a chance to prove themselves so that they can feel part and parcel of the firm.

Given the many advantages of forefront identity manager in management, it is a tool that should be used in every organization. It enables the business to compete in the market appropriately. Also it makes living standards grow and the economy due to more productivity.

What to Know Before You Upgrade From XP to Windows 7

Selasa, 10 Juni 2014

What to Know Before You Move From XP to Windows 7
With Windows 7 coming out next month, there are, no doubt, a lot of Windows XP users who opted to skip over Windows Vista and are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to upgrade. Unfortunately, the switch may not be such an easy one. There is a lot of planning to do and a lot of learning to be done, but with the Windows 7s October 22 release date just around the corner, its never too early to start.

One of the first things you will want to do is check your hardware. If your computer was made in the last few years, you more-than-likely wont have a problem. If youre not sure about your current hardware situation, Microsoft offers a Windows 7 Upgrade advisor at their website. The advisor will perform a scan of your system and display a report that lets you know if you meet the requirements. Should there be a problem, the report lets you know what your options are for the upgrade.

Another thing you must understand is that you will have to perform a custom installation. Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 will not allow you to keep all of your settings and applications. A custom installation gives you the option to install Windows on a specific drive or partition, or completely replace your old operating system. When you do the complete replacement, a folder called "Windows.old" will show up on your hard disk and while it will contain your Windows, Documents, Settings, and Program Files, your applications will no longer be in working order. This means backing up and transferring important data, reinstalling applications, and reconfiguring your settings.

Its always helpful to have an inventory of all of your applications. Youll also want to make sure they are compatible with Windows 7. Once you have your list in place, you can gather up the information for what youll need once youve got Windows 7 installed including installation CDs and various websites from which youve downloaded applications.

One thing you may want to consider is a multiboot configuration. This means having both Windows XP and Windows 7 at your fingertips, which can help make the switch a little smoother. All you have to do is reboot into Windows XP at any given time to see exactly how something is installed or configured. To do this, you must install both XP and 7 on the same hard disk but on separate partitions. To make room for Windows 7, you will have to repartition your hard disk and there is software you can purchase to help you do this. Once youre finished, just set Windows 7 as your primary operating system and remove Windows XP all together.

As with any major change you make to your computer, youll want to back up all of your data. Youre more than likely going to use either a third-party back-up program or Windows XPs native Backup Utility. If youre using a third party program, make sure you check with your manufacturer to see if it will be compatible with Windows 7. If youre not sure or dont trust either backup system, you can, of course, make copies of all of your data and store it on CDs and external hard drives.

Now that you know you will need to transfer your data, how will you do it? Youll probably want to use a program that will scan your XP system to find all of your data and settings and that can transfer the information to Windows 7. Luckily, Windows 7 has an Easy Transfer feature that can do this for you, but. The transfer utility should come embedded within Windows 7, but also as a separate DVD.

Something else you can do to be prepared is become familiar with Window 7s new user interface (UI) as it is very different from that of Windows XP. To avoice what many call "UI Shock," you can visit Microsofts Windows 7 webpage. That will give you an idea of what to expect once youve installed Windows 7. The webpage features a Windows 7 Features section and a Windows 7 Help & How-to section. Microsofts website also features a Windows Training Portal which includes Windows 7 "Learning Snacks" (interactive presentations) and Microsoft Press Sample Chapters from upcoming Windows 7 books.

Finally, this seems simple enough but ask questions and share information. So many people will be switching from XP to Windows 7; you most certainly wont be alone. Visit technical forums and websites and connect with others who are in your shoes.

5 handy eclipse tips you must know

Selasa, 18 Februari 2014



It is imperative to be able to quickly navigate through your code as in commercial projects there will be thousands of artifacts. You will find more debugging tips using eclipse and other tools. The following tips are must know, and if you dont know any of this already, apply these tips and see how productive you become. Especially the control clicking shown here will help you fly through your code.


Tip #1 : Navigating between web resource files and Java classes

<div>
<s:link rendered="#{!myAccounts.viewAccounts}" reRender="myAccounts" styleClass="link-excel" view="/view/accounts/myaccounts.excel.xhtml" > Export </s:link>
......
</div>

you will often want to navigate from one xhtml or JSP page to another. In the above example to navigate to myaccounts.excel.xhtml page from your current page, highlight the text "myaccounts.excel.xhtml" in the above code and then press "ctrl+shift+r" short-cut to select the file and go to that file directly. In the above code, "myAccounts" within #{!myAccounts.viewAccounts} is an annotation attribute in the Java based backing bean. To get quickly to the backing Java bean, you will need to highlight the text "myAccounts" in the above code and the press "ctr+h" short-cut to bring up the search dialog to search for that text. The Java snippet will look like this
    
@In(value = "myAccounts")
private MyAccounts myAccountsController;

Once you have found the Java source file that has the text "myAccounts" annotated attribute, you can go directly to the method with the context helper short cut "ctrl+o" and then typing the first few charaters of the method "viewAccounts" to go to that method. This tip can be applied for other Web frameworks as well if you want to navigate between Web resources and Java source files.

The "highlighting + ctrl+h" is also handy for navigating to relevant Java or web resource file from a spring config file or any other configuration file like web.xml.

Tip #2: If you are navigating between Java source files then the code snippet below
   
public void init(Long accountId) {
logger.debug("Initialising accounts .... ");
this.selectedAccount = this.serviceFacade.getAccount(accountId, user);
this.authoriser.checkPermission(new AccountsPermission(this.user, this.selectedAccount));
...
}

may require you to navigate to "AccountsPermission" class. Highlight the "AccountsPermission" and press "F3" function key to go to that class. If you want to see the type hirarchy (i.e. its interfaces, super class, sub class, etc) press "F4". You can also highlight a varible like "selectedAccount" or a method like "checkPermission" and then press "F3" to go to that variable or method declaration.


What is even more efficient is "ctrl + clicking". All you have to do is press the ctrl key and then click on a variable or class to name to navigate to it. If a particular method has both interface and implementation, you will get a contextual option list to choose either the interface or the implementation with this control clicking.

So, both "ctrl + clicking" and "highlight  + (ctrl+shift+r or ctrl+h) are very handy commands for navigating around.


Tip 3#: If eclipse is slow in opening your files or starting up, etc it is likely that some plugins might be making it slow.

Recently I had this issue, and after removing a number of plugins, for example Atlasian Maven/Bamboo build plugins and some JBoss plugins for JSF and Seam UI development, my eclipse is much faster and responsive. 


Tip #4: If you are working on a large project with lots of modules or projects

 it is worth creating "working sets" to group relevant projects together. This will also enable you to open and close projects or modules based on "working sets". You can also search for resources based on a "working set". Google for "How to create a working set in eclipse".


Tip #5:Code assist to type less

No body wants to type a lot of code. While working on your code, you can use "ctrl + space" to auto complete some variable names, methods, class names, etc.



The above short-cut keys will help you navigate quickly through your code. Feel free to comment with other useful tips. There are more tips on

What all new Oracle users should know about SQL Plus

Senin, 03 Februari 2014

Ok, I realize anyone who’s used oracle much will already know this, but I still get asked this question a lot. Usually its from people who know SQL, but havent worked a lot with Oracle.

If you are using SQL Plus with Oracle, you may be surprised by the odd way it displays results. This is because by default SQL Plus assumes your screen is only 80 characters wide, and 14 rows tall, and wraps accordingly.

You can fix this by entering the following in SQL Plus:
set pagesize 50000 
set linesize 32767

By default those values are 14 and 80 respectively. 32767 is the maximum size for linesize and 50000 is the maximum size for pagesize.
