What are the best practices for a new employee to learn inside the instance of their business of Eloqua as efficiently as possible?

We have companies everything changed at some point in our lives. And we all go through the process in the first weeks, where you feel new and are just trying to figure out how not to get lost on your way in the mornings.

On top of that, trying to familiarize yourself with your new company Eloqua instance can be a daunting task, especially if it's a large organization.

What are the best practices for new employees to learn as efficiently and effectively as possible?

I am in this situation right now. Moved to a much larger organization. It is a huge task trying to understand all the ins and outs not only society, but also of the eloqua instance, especially when she is complex with many points of integration. I find that most of the learning happens when I really go do the work. I spent a ton of time going through the programs, documentation, integrations, etc., but after awhile, it's all just words on a page and not absorbed.

The biggest thing that I recommend is to learn how and why things are made the way they are currently, ask lots of questions, don't assume not that things work the same as they did with your previous employer.

Download some base in place level benchmarks to demonstrate additional improvement.

Make a list of tasks in the long term. As a new pair of eyes, make a list of things you'd like to improve.

  • Using PowerPoint and Captivate together - what are your best practices?

    HI - here are my two questions...

    (1) it seems that when you insert PowerPoint slides in CP7 and duplicate a slide - slide 2 is not a fresh new creation.  It is always related to the original slide & all changes to one of them in PowerPoint, a direct impact on other related slides.  I realize now that I can go back in PP and duplicate it... But it just seems like extra which steps.  Am I missing something here?

    (2) I would like to hear how others approach developers creating a new project of CP, using PowerPoint as a starting point.  Go you back or do you create new themes based on the drawings of PP and then copy and paste the content?  I guess I'm looking here for best practices.

    I appreciate your help!

    Hello

    If you start from scratch, PowerPoint is a terrible thing to consider. Don't get me wrong it's a great tool for what it does. But the reason we see even any possibility for Captivate shoot in a PowerPoint presentation is because there are still masses of people out there who have hundreds of thousands of PowerPoint presentations they want to reallocate in e-learning. So it is to get this way managed job 'quick and dirty '.

    The process of importing a PowerPoint performs a conversion of the PowerPoint slide in Flash SWF file. Then, the SWF file is configured as the subject of the slide background. That's why when you duplicated the slide, you have seen the behaviour you have done.

    Here is that if you start from scratch, start with a blank Captivate project. Use PPT if you wish, but only as a design tool. Copy the images of PPT, then insert into Captivate.

  • Best practices for starting new projects...

    Hope this does not seem too much question "nooob.

    I was editing a small project from a few months back and has problems with a lag, someone on here suggested, I give in and which would sort all late development issues and he has done much to my relief, I could edit in peace.

    What I want to ask is - are there any other good practice like that I could use to make my life easier...

    Or just basic things I should do before editin, base workflow...

    Just need a few thank you very basic pointers in advance.

    A few...

    (1) do NOT trust auto-enregistre to save your project... with one-s set for say 10 minutes/20saves, in a day's work on a sequence of a project of 4 sequence. The day following a different sequence of work, finding it had been corrupted somehow the day before... and find out ALL auto-enregistre them is recent enough that they are ALL corrupted even. Very bad... very bad.

    Make a backup - as increments from time to time and of course on another drive your standard project files to pass is not a bad idea, because you automatically have a backup system in the event of corruption or disk problems. Not perfect but you will survive.

    (2) Organization of assets is your friend! In came video stops, it is a VERY different beastie. With a structure of folders on your drives hard is wise, if you have a drawing and know where things are... more... learn how to use the thing 'locations', virtual folders and not things really moving on disk, but it can help to keep your projects feasible they get largest & most complex.

    I've seen diagrams for several different people and they were all different... ask about or look at Organization of video projects, organizing first pro online projects... you will get a lot of samples.

    (3) one word: AUDIO! Yet once, from stills I went immediately after learning to make things look pretty (involving a LOT of time learning SpeedGrade)... which is fine, really. I have spent so much time perfecting my audio capture & cleaning PrPro or hearing. I learned my choice muchly and I am now learning hearing. Audio cleanup is for most of the people most important to have the most beautiful images in your videos. Most I have eyeballs do not seem to be as critical as mine are... but surprisingly, the brand I ear is quite commonly used. Well...

    (4) know your Machine! Tools of the trade, including the basic courage of our computers, are very important. MANY posts here are dealing with questions from people not having not actually their rig set up right, including the people who put thousands of dollars/francs/that it is in their "beast"... but it is not really 'balanced' that advocates Page of the Tweaker (the bible to the PrPro/Ae hardware problems).

    Spending $ 2500 on a map of Quadro hot video because you get a little behind in reading will normally squat... because there is no that many 'effects' cards Quadro really help with first, second... that "dragging" is probably because of things like not enough disks to spread parts of the project to avoid read/write and crash that causes the ENTIRE process to wait for traffic to cross... not enough 'real' nuclei (i7 chips as) my studio platform to say that they have '8' hearts, but four are 'virtual'... ninou, he's only got 4 cores REAL), not enough RAM, too few/slow 'ways' or 'tracks' on the bus of the motherboard, not enough of space on one or more drives from spinning, so there is a hangup as things are cached on this drive for read/write... all sorts of things.

    Enough for now...

  • What is a best practice for objects created and literals

    If I have to run a method several times, is it better to do this:
    int i = 0;
    public void test(){
         i = rand.nextInt();
         System.out.println(i);
    } 
    Or is it better to do:
    public void test(){
         int i = 0;
         i = rand.nextInt()
         System.out.println(i);
    }
    Assuming that the variable 'i' will NOT again the program, considering that I have will take place probably this method a hundred times or more, I just want to know which is faster or better.

    And if it was an object rather than a literal? -What changes it?

    What happens if the method is static? -What changes it?

    It is best to declare variables in the lowest scope possible. So, given the choice between these two pieces of code and other assumptions you mention, the second part of the code is better.

    (By the way the rule is true because it makes your code easier to understand. In the second part of the code you posted, it is obvious that variable 'i' isn't used everywhere except in the "test" method In the first part of the code, the reader cannot tell. Less the player should reflect the code you write, the better code.)

    However if the second part of the code is what you want, then it is too long. Why you initialize the variable to zero, and then in the next line assign another value to it? Why not simply initialize this another value in the first place?

    It's a line too.

    Then, if you are going to assign a value to a variable and then print the value of this variable, why not just print the value directly? Why have the variable at all?

    This is so two lines too.

    It is usually best to write less code, and no more code. Most code you write more code must contain errors. Beginners used to write a lot too much code. However, it is possible to go overboard with the idea of writing less code; It is possible to write a long and unreadable 'one-liners', which do the work, but when some other poor decoration needs to change to something else, it's impossible.

    You will notice that I have not address the issue of the "faster" at all. This is because that things like when you declare variables are a triviality in terms of speed things run.

    SpeedGrade 2015.0 RAM eating bug, didn't matter what parameters have been set, SG would eat all the RAM

    I paste the link to the thread here related Speedgrade eat all my 32 GB of RAM - question?

    After SpeedGrade 2015.0 came SpeedGrade 2015.0.1 (or was it a different number?). Now the current version is 2015.1

    If you want to avoid the RAM eating problem, consider an update - but also consider that it is not recommended to update to mid-project. Also consider that when direct linking of first in SpeedGrade versions must match. If you update a you will be locked out of each other - as in if you update SpeedGrdae, but not first, your first will be able to open your "latest version SpeedGrade.

  • Best practices for dealing with Exceptions on members of storage

    We recently encountered a problem where one of our DistributedCaches was closing himself and restart due to a RuntimeException is thrown from our code (see below). As usual, it's our own code and we have updated to not throw a RuntimeException in all circumstances.

    I would like to know if there are some best practices for Exception handling, other than catching Exceptions and their record. We should always catch the Exceptions and ensure that they do not spread back to code that is running from the pot of consistency? Is it possible to configure consistency so that our DistributedCaches are not completed even when filters custom and other throw RuntimeExceptions?


    Thank you, Aidan


    Exception below:

    2010-02-09 12:40:39.222/88477.977 Oracle coherence GE < error > 3.4.2/411 (thread = DistributedCache:StyleCache, Member = 48): a (java.lang.RuntimeException) exception occurred reading Message AggregateFilterRequest Type = 31 for Service = DistributedCache {Name = StyleCache, State = (SERVICE_STARTED), LocalStorage = active, PartitionCount = 1021, BackupCount = 1, AssignedPartitions = 201, 204 = BackupPartitions}

    We have reproduced you problem in the House and it looks like a global filtering does not
    the correct thing (i.e. having caught a processed) when moving from a runtime exception.
    In general runtime exceptions should simply be exploited and returned to the application
    without compromising the cache server, so we will be solving it.

  • What are the best practices for creating only time data types, and not the Date

    Hi gurus,

    We use 12 c DB and we have a requirement to create the column with datatype of time only, if someone please describe what are the best practices for the creation of this.

    I would strongly appreciate ideas and suggestions.

    Kind regards
    Ranjan

    Hello

    How do you intend to use the time?

    If you are going to combine with DATEs or timestamps from a other source, then an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND or NUMBER may be better.

    Will you need to perform arithmetic operations on time, for example, increase the time to 20%, or take an average?   If so, the NUMBER would be preferable.

    You are just going to display it?  In this case, DAY INTERVAL in SECONDS, DATE or VARCHAR2 would work.

    As Blushadow said, it depends.

  • What are the best practices for use of GLOBAL Variables

    Hello

    Please guide how Global Variables can be declared and how they can be initialized.


    Further please guide what are the impacts of the Variables(if any) world on the memory of the CLIENT or the SERVER, if they are not initialized or released after use.


    Thank you.

    Kind regards.

    There are 255 characters (fixed) - or a less than before, don't know if they still are that length.
    My preference is not to use and use the settings or package variables. There is no real control of globals, so you may find yourself with an applications which has a good number of them which is used only once but which persists during the user's session.

  • What is the best practice for a 'regular' Server VMware and VDI environment?

    What is the best practice for a "regular" VMware Server and VDI environment?   A single environment (ESXi and SAN) can accommodate two if it is a whole new configuration?  Or even better to keep separate?

    Enjoying inputs.

    Quick and dirty answer is that "it depends."

    serioulsy, it depends really two things budget and IO.  If you had the money for two without then buy two and don't have to host your server environment and the other for VDI desktop, their IO profiles are completely different.

    If this is not the case, try to keep each type of use for their own dedicated LUN.

  • What are the best practices framework OA customizations autour?

    Hello

    We make many customizations in our case.

    What are the best practices around customizations.

    How to document?

    What is a good practice to make all the customizations by using functional Adimistrator?

    Kind regards

    Sandra

    Best place for this question would be OA Framework

    What are the best practices around customizations.

    What do you mean by that? There is one way you can do customization. But the functionality can be achieved differently, in this case, it will be very specific in what you want to achieve.

    If you reference how to do customization, such as aid of the functional administrator or go to the page and clicking in the Customize link in the page or by using the xml file and using XMLImporter, it is not really important.

    If ask you questions about the migration of customization, you can either export to leave an instance and import them into another instance using functional administrator or XML importer. Or do it manually again.

    The XML importer is usually easy and need less documentation from the point of view of migration.

    How to document?

    If you migrate manually, could better document the steps with screenshots.

    If not, document changes in the screen as well as the reference to the downloaded file customization.

    What is a good practice to make all the customizations by using functional Adimistrator?

    This is one of the option.   I don't see anything wrong with that.

    By accessing the page could be more easily test the change.

  • What are the best export settings for a first Pro CS4 video HD?

    Hello!

    I had so much trouble with this issue and that's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video what are the settings for it

    23.98 FPS

    1920 x 1080, then a few lines down he says 1408 x 792

    16-bit,

    2 channels

    48000 Hz

    What should be the parameters when I do a new sequence?

    When I look into the window in Premiere Pro I constantly have to "shrink" the image to fit the window, is that something I should do or he says that the configuration of the sequence is bad?

    But more importantly what should be the parameters of export? I exported a long video of 4 minutes and the size was 1 GB, I know that it's too big.

    I need to export without losing quality and export another one which is consistent with the limits on the size of Youtube and Vimeo.

    Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I download 4 videos per week. I think that Youtube, you can download 500 MB at a time.

    I need to get the smaller size with lose the least possible quality AND the best export quality settings, so I suppose I have 3 separate issues.

    What are the best settings of sequence for HD video?

    What are the best export settings for HD without losing quality?

  • What are the best options for the composition of math in InDesign CS4?

    What are the best options for the composition of math in InDesign CS4?

    I tried a few versions of the composition of mathematics test. All have their advantages and disadvantages, but I can't decide on which the plugin/script will be the best in the long run (in taking account of the ePub and MathML).


    So far the two best seems to be InMath (if it becomes compatible CS4) or Math + Magic Pro.


    The biggest pro of InMath is editable on the screen, but it seems to have some risk: http://InDesignSecrets.com/InMath-update-with-new-reader-functionality.php


    Math + Magic Pro works well with CS4, but need of equations to modify in the window of their plugin, and because they are EPS format. The file size and the ability to work with a digital player disappeared.

    And MathType seems pretty useless...

    Someone at - it had positive experiences?

    Not exactly the kerning, but you can move blocks wherever you want with the arrow keys. And you can change the spacing between the elements by changing the spacer between them. There are also defects of spacing.

    Batch edit can be something again. I use 6.0, and I see that the most recent version is 6.5.

    I had problems with files EPS of Mathtype, which may include a preview, but do not include fonts. So, I opened each equation of the word with my default settings (they automatically change the default fonts, spacing, size, etc.), copy, paste in Illustrator and save as have. So when I'm finished, my equations are always vector (if that's what you mean by text).

    Microsoft has chosen to implement a version of Mathtype dumbed-down as the editor of Word equations for many years. So for me at least, long term has already been decided. There are several things wrong with Mathtype, but given the choice between the use of Mathtype to * convert * equations and using InMath or mathemagiques to * recreate * equations, I'll take Mathtype, warts and all.
