Hadoop and SSIS
With the explosion of data, the open source Apache™ Hadoop™ Framework is gaining traction thanks to its huge ecosystem that has arisen around the core functionalities of Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS™) and Hadoop Map Reduce. As of today, being able to have SQL Server working with Hadoop™ becomes increasingly important because the two are indeed complementary. For instance, while petabytes of data can be stored unstructured in Hadoop and take hours to be queried, terabytes of data can be stored in a structured way in the SQL Server platform and queried in seconds. This leads to the need to transfer data between Hadoop and SQL Server.

Migrating Asset Intelligence Catalog
Has anybody tried to migrate custom labels from 2007 to 2012?
I have seen some problems with the migration process. I look at the 'All Inventoried Software Titles' in the CM2007 console and 'Inventoried Software' in the CM2012 console. But the same information will come back in reports, queries, …
- If you enter 2 different labels for different versions from the same product you can't predict which label will be attached in CM2012. This wouldn't be a problem in our environment but it's probably the cause of the second problem.
- Not only the label is migrated but also the version and the migrated version always seems to be wrong.
I found the results undesirable and I decided I won't use the current migration process.

Planned Duration Vs Actual Duration
Hi All
I am trying to report planned progress against actual,having some issues about that with MSP,
on the gantt chart you can see the progress bar against the dropdown line of the status date (or Current date)
What i am trying to report is an activity or summary task that is showing 45% as %complete is clearly behind just looking at the gantt chart view, should be about 65% how do i report that in a way either by customising a coulum in MSP
Reply:
Please note the plan is not resourced or costed so its only duration driven
------------------------------------
Reply:
Switch to the tracking table. Input (type) the actual start date and the actual duration.
The actual duration cannot (ie must not) be more than the duration from the actual start date to the status date.
It could be less.
If the actual duration does not extend all the way to the status date, you must re-schedule the planned duration in the past to the status date. (you cannot plan to do something in the past). Adjust the remaining duration to whatever you think it should be. Do not input % Complete because that is actual duration/total duration and it will be calculated for you.

RequestOffering: Display more fields from ActivieDirerectory objects ?
Hi
When you create a request offering, and select a field to query an AD object, e.g Group, you are only able to select the following DispalyFields:
Distinguished Name, FQDN, ObjectGuid,Org.unit, SID and UPN
Is it possible to extend this to include Descrption as well?
Background:
We've implemented the requestoffering found here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2012/06/25/add-user-to-group-automated-request-offering-walkthrough.aspx
When the enduser request membership in a group, they are only able to se the name of the group. In AD we have create a description on each group, what they give access to.
Since we cant display the Descrptionfield in the Requestofferings, enduser will have to guess which groups give the correct access they are requesting
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
with "Description" you mean the description field in AD, right? This property is not synced into SCSM by default so you can not use it. You can extend the user class with a new property and sync the additional property to SCSM for instance with an CSV import or Orchestrator. Later you can also add this column to your Request Offering.

Need guidance on writing MDX query
I am trying to create a report from source Cube..
My current mdx query retrieves the data of all units sold by state level..
Texas 10
NJ 20
NY 20
Now i want another record in the same dataset in the same state column saying
USA 50
If needed more details please let me know ..
Reply:
Hi Sri,
if I understood you question correctly, you'd like to display the US states plus the sum of all states.
For this I would suggest to use the visualtotals.
select [measure].[whatever_measure] on columns, -- non empty to leave out all of the empty values/states -- visualtotals to display the sum non empty(visualtotals( -- this is the upper level of the hierarchy (the country) [countrydimension].[hierarchy].[country].[USA], -- the range of the child members (the states) [countrydimension].[hierarchy].[state].[State1]:[countrydimension].[hierarchy].[state].[State1] ))on rows from cube where (whatever_you_wanna_filter)
Let me know if you have any questions! :)

Let me ask you this..I have the units grouped up by product,state,Year,Month in my existing query ..Can i still be able to get the totals for all states with above grouping? I will give it a shot and let you know..Thanks

you could use it for the state dimension, doesn't matter whether you have another dimensions in your query.
Let me know how it worked.

Thanks for the response Istvan ...As i am not good with MDX queries i am unable to get it..
Below is my existing query .. where i have states Dimension "[Account].[Ora Acct State].[Ora Acct State] " it doesn't have any parent hierarchy as country in that dimension ...Will i be able to implement visual totals without country parent heirarchy in the dimension..
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Month_to_Show] AS CASE WHEN [Date].[YQM].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION = "2011" THEN "2011 AVERAGE" ELSE [Date].[YQM].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION END
MEMBER [Measures].[Year_2011_AvgUnits] AS SUM([Date].[YQM].[Year].&[2011],[Measures].[Exf Units])/10
MEMBER [Measures].[Share] AS CASE WHEN [Date].[YQM].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION = "2011" THEN 1 ELSE [Measures].[Exf Units]/[Measures].[Year_2011_AvgUnits] END
MEMBER [Measures].[Units] AS CASE WHEN [Date].[YQM].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION = "2011" THEN [Measures].[Year_2011_AvgUnits] ELSE [Measures].[Exf Units] END
SELECT
NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Month_to_Show],
[Measures].[Units],
[Measures].[Share],
[MEASURES].[Year_2011_AvgUnits] } ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY ( {[Date].[YQM].[Year].&[2011], [Date].[YQM].[Month]} ) ON ROWS,
{[Product].[Product Name].[Product Name]* [Account].[Ora Acct State].[Ora Acct State] } ON PAGES
FROM (SELECT ( {strtoset(@Year),[Date].[YQM].[Year].&[2011]}, strtoset(@Product)) ON COLUMNS FROM [CUBE]
------------------------------------
Reply:
I suppose this would be the line you wanna sum up:
{[Product].[Product Name].[Product Name]* [Account].[Ora Acct State].[Ora Acct State] } ON PAGES
For visualtotals you should have a a parent hierarchy for country.
------------------------------------
Reply:
------------------------------------
Reply:
Can you try this?
([Product].[Product Name].[Product Name], {[Account].[State].children, [Account].[State]}) on pages
please replace the dimension accordingly.
It display once all states and after that also all together as sum. But if you have states not only for one country (let's say all of the states of Australia and the USA, than they will be summed up together,, not grouped by Australia and USA, because the dimension doesn't know which state to which country belongs).

Microsoft Forefront Client won't stay open
Hi,
I noticed that Forefront wasn't displayed in my tray so I thought I'd launch it and maybe do a quick scan, but when I try open Forefront it opens for a brief second before closing itself.
I fear there might be a virus or something preventing me from opening it. Is there anyway I can get it to remain open without closing itself?

[Sharing] -18500 Errors on Mac Outlook 2011 / Delegationoutl
Hello,
I have just been through a multi-week support call on a very odd issue. I've got it solved and it took MS Support to help me to do it. In order to share what I've learned, I am posting here.
Issue: Delegate cannot accept/decline meeting invitations using Mac Outlook 2011.
Delegate can use other applications such as Outlook (Windows), OWA, or Mac Mail to perform delegation duties. Outlook 2011 invitation responses, however, get stuck in the Outbox. Outlook shows an -18500 error.
Consider this scenario:
1. Exchange Administrator grants User B Full Access to User A's Exchange Mailbox.
2. User A sets up User B as a delegate.
3. User B uses Exchange Web Services exclusive client to perform delegate duties.
According to a tech on the Office for Mac team, this situation has the potential to cause permissions conflicts that only affect EWS clients (of which Mac Outlook 2011 uses EWS exclusively). The tech I spoke with says he's "seen it twice."
Solution: Remove User B's Full Access permissions from User A's mailbox.

SCCM 2012 on Private Cloud
Will it be possible to have SCCM 2012 on private cloud?
I read few articles looks Microsoft private cloud relies on only few System Center 2012 components such as SCOM 2012 for monitoring, SCSM for service management, App- Controller 2012 for Self service portal, VM 2012 for VM & cloud Management and Orchestor 2012 for Automation.
And don't see for SCCM 2012 and DPM 2012 , Will these are support on Private cloud
System Center 2012 can create a private cloud. The main components used to do this are the following:
System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2012, which provides the fundamental services for creating and managing clouds. It also provides the technologies used to deploy and update VMs and applications.
System Center App Controller 2012, a self-service portal for requests made directly to a private cloud created with VMM 2012. (As described later, this portal can also be used with Windows Azure.)
System Center Service Manager 2012, which provides automated IT service management and an associated self-service portal. If an organization wishes to define a process with human approvals for some private cloud scenarios, for example, Service Manager 2012 makes this possible.
System Center Orchestrator 2012, providing a way to automate interactions among other management tools such as VMM 2012 and Service Manager.
System Center Operations Manager 2012, which can monitor VMs, applications, and other aspects of a private cloud, then initiate actions to fix problems it detects.

AMD driver probleams
i am trying to install this AMD driver http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_win8-64.aspx
i install it but my video driver doesn't change so i go to device manager, display adapters, AMD Radeon HD 7300 series (Microsoft corporation - WDDM v1.20). I right click and go to properties then the driver tab. I hit update driver, in the window that opens i hit browse my computer..., then i go to let me pick from a list of drivers, i hit have disc, i go to the drivers section in my new amd folder (C:\AMD\Support\12-10_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql\Packages\Drivers\Display\W86A_INF) and select C7149042 (all of the setup files to the same thing i am just using it as a example) I then get a list of graphics cards, i select mine and get a error saying the driver selected for this device does not support this version of windows. HELP
the reason i am doing this is because some of my games require Open GL and they crash if i try to run them as-is.

I'm having the same problem, but with the 7500M, but I need it for photo/graphics processing software that requires OpenGL that was working perfectly with Win 7. If worse comes to worst, I can do a system restore, as I did make a full system image minutes before upgrading, but I would prefer to not have to go through all that. I checked the manufacturers website, and it's the same as on the AMD site.
EDIT: I downloaded and installed the beta version 12, and it worked. OpenGL and programs ability to use the graphics processor has returned. My thanks!

Windows 7 security vs. unix-like assumptions
Greetings,
I teach community college level intro to computer science courses part-time and covet your comments on the following thoughts. Keep in mind that in light of Microsoft's historically large market presence, community college education tends to favor instruction of microsft software. Yet, I hope to share holistic facts and truth with my students and currently find myself concerned that my facts may be blurred by my consistently positive Microsoft-centric experiences over the last 30 years, contrasted by my infrequent experiences with operating systems claiming to be more "unix-like".
I have hoped that, all things being equal (configuration, updates and user know-how), modern Microsoft's single-user operating systems have become as secure and invunerable as any desktop-like linux distribution. I have recently based my thoughts on an assumed stronger segregation of kernel mode and user mode operating situations within modern MS OSes. Still, people are always telling me that the linux kernel is simply superior due to its origins from a multi-user, server-like, UNIX-like OS, no matter what improvements Windows has seen recently. Still I assumed (or hoped) that they were simply ignorant about the actual nature and underlying operations of the MS windows kernel mode/user mode segregation.
My windows based machines run as well and as consistently has any unix-like OS (linux distros and OSX) running in my house. That fact, anedoctely at least, supports my assumption and reaffirmed my claim that the main factors leading to instability of the MS OS is/was bad third party software and (mostly) poor user actions.
I have no interest in one OS being better than the other and am resisting the pressure to call unix-like operating systems inherently any better than the operating systems I use most (microsoft). I am aware of Microsoft's history with unix-like oses (Xenix, etc...) and thusly assumed that Microsoft is/was implementing similiar security measures behind the scenes.
Where can a Microsoft OS apologist find concrete evidence to debate against the unix-like proganda militants? Or am I just wrong to think Microsoft non-server OSes can ever be as secure as a unix-like os?
Thanks for your time and consideration.
I look forward to your comments.

So since the mail app does not include support for pop3, what are Window 8 RT users supposed to do?
There is nothing you can do unless Microsoft updates the Metro app or you can find another POP3-capable mail app in the store. Windows RT users are totally hosed since they can't use any desktop mail app either.

So, what kind of interest would there be for a POP3 Mail App on the store?

There is right now no solution to the problem:
- the native mail client does not support it
- I have not found a mail app that does support it
- there is no announcement that either one is coming shortly.
I do not understand this business decision by Microsoft. Large Internet Providers such as Cox cable do only support POP3 email outside of Webmail.Especially since this device is designed for private people (and the licensing terms basically don't allow you to use it professionally) that do not run mail servers themselves and often use what they get with their cable provider and do not want to change their email accounts.
I love the surface RT device, I really do. I think that it is on a lot of accounts superior to the Apple iPad and any Android device. I am also patient enough to wait for a lot of apps that are still missing, but this is right now by far for me the biggest disadvantage.

Getting poor I/O performance when using DBWriteTest utility
Hi everyone,
First post ever over here :)
I'm a Storage Engineering and I'm currently involved in a project for my company to deploy Sharepoint 2010 and Groove Relay Server 2010.
One of the requirements for the installation of the Groove Relay Server is to run the DBWriteTest.exe utility (that can be found on the install media) to the target disk which will hold the application and get a minimum of 1.800.000 bytes/sec result.
We are using SAN storage (specifically a 3Par InServ T800 array) with 15k rpm Fibre Channel disks connected to a 4GB Brocade SAN Fabric; 2 4GB HBA ports on a Windows Server 2008 connects to the storage.
While applications like IOmeter and SQLIO gives us excellent performance results over this setup, DBWriteTest gives us a really bad performance. Here is our latest result for the DBWriteTest utility with default parameters:
Z:\>DBWriteTest.exe -D
GrooveDBWrite test Version 1.1
Doing 20000 operations of 1000 bytes each to GrooveDBWriteTest
91% free disk space, cluster size=4096
Finished 20000 operations 1 to 20000 of size 1000, elapsed time 31.597399 sec, 6
32.96 operations/sec, 632963.49 bytes/sec
Now here are a couple of interesting variations:
- Disabling SQL Transaction Log Sync, we get a huge leap on performance:
Z:\>DBWriteTest.exe -D -n
GrooveDBWrite test Version 1.1
Doing 20000 operations of 1000 bytes each to GrooveDBWriteTest
91% free disk space, cluster size=4096
Finished 20000 operations 1 to 20000 of size 1000, elapsed time 2.341951 sec, 85
39.89 operations/sec, 8539888.32 bytes/sec
- Using a bigger IO size (same amount of operations), we get an acceptable performance:
Z:\>DBWriteTest.exe -D -b 5000
GrooveDBWrite test Version 1.1
Doing 20000 operations of 5000 bytes each to GrooveDBWriteTest
90% free disk space, cluster size=4096
Finished 20000 operations 1 to 20000 of size 5000, elapsed time 38.507385 sec, 5
19.38 operations/sec, 2596904.46 bytes/sec
Could anyone point me in the right direction here? Our Application Engineering management team is requiring us to meet the 1.800.000 bytes/sec requirement and we have really run out of ideas. We have also tested this on our other Storage Arrays (namely HP XP24000, HP XP12000 and EVA's) and we didn't achieve the minimum as well.
Thanks a lot in advance to any ideas!!!
Best,
Jon

Windows 8 Observations
During the past few months I have been conducting a survey of various problems in forums, one factor keeps appearing, a high percentage are from PC / Laptops that have been upgrade with a previously install qualifying OS, and the operator has elected to retain Setting, data & personal files.
I do not think that data & personal files, cause many, if any problems but retaining settings may be causing a good majority of the problems, because the setting that were perfectly OK for the previous OS, XP, Vista or Windows 7, may not be completely suitable for Windows 8.
It is also unlikely that many PCs & Laptops have the exactly same settings, each individual user has set his / her PC/Laptop to their personal way of doing things, which includes settings for a variety of devices and functions. In fact I would go further and say every PC / Laptop is unique to its user. Other factors are the variety of PC / Laptop manufacturers, who put their own OEM version of the OS, plus their own (what I and many others call "Bloatware"), which is also mixed with the soup, what a mixture.
OK, MS may carry out extensive research into backward capability, but again I do not believe they can foresee every setup possibility.
The minimum system requirement as stated by MS for the installation of Windows 8, is really the very basic minimum requirements, the actual minimum requirements to run Windows 8 should be somewhat higher, personally upgrading from XP is a no go, upgrading from Vista is borderline.
The availability of upgraded device drivers for devices installed on XP and Vista, PC/Laptops is virtually non- existent, the variety of devices is so diverse and that is causing many problems. In Windows 7 it is not so much a problem.
I am of the opinion that the best way to upgrade ones OS, (which I have been doing since Win95) is a clean install and take nothing, have a good backup system in place. OK, so it takes a few hour/ days to reconfigure, but it is better than maybe months of suffering. This I realise is not possible in a business situation and not for everyone. Another thing I also do is dual boot with the previous OS, and once everything is configured on new OS, I sometime dump the old. I have one older PC with Vista / W7 which I use to run some programs that are too much trouble to convert and an even older PC with XP. (I use them as required)
Personal opinion of Windows 8 Pro, (using since the first release DP, CP, RTM), Modern UI, is perfect for devices such as Surface, etc. Do not use a lot on Desktop /Laptop, but is has some very good innovation, for instance I like the down ward swipe to close apps. In a dual monitor setup, I find it works very good, basically Modern UI on one monitor, Desktop UI on the other, I also find opening IE10 on separate monitors is great for cross referencing work, same IE10 (M) and Ms Word, better than working with Snap, larger working area. (On & on & on, when is he going to stop?) I can go on if you wish!
Finally, overall opinion of W8, really enjoying the challenge & the new innovations. (How can you love a machine?) I was in IT, (but it was not called that, I seem to remember the title Computer Consultant or something to that effect) been retired for 15 years.
I feel great now, got that of my chest.
Wish Everyone, a Great Christmas & a Prosperous New Year

Outlook 2010 Multiple Accounts , Sending Error On Behalf Of Other Users, 0X8004010F SBS 2011 Default Configuration
Hi Guys
scenario,
Default configuration of SBS 2011, all well,
Send on behalf Permissions etc working like a charm
User A has access to B ,C, D users mailboxes
Lets say user E has access to B mailbox, He faces the same problem as well.
Mailbox C & D is only accessed by A and are working fine
User can't send on behalf of B but can do for C, D
error on the staus bar is 0X8004010F, can't access UserA.ost
The email gets stuck in the outbox.
Steps checked.
1) permissions full
2) send Permissions are fine.
Has anyone faced this problem.
Also major point.
I have done about 7 sbs 2011 configuration from scratch and not upgrades. And all of them have the same issue.
Am i missing something ....?
Observation:
Multiple Users have access to B mailboxe as full permissions and also send permissions
Could that be an issue since the error message is after not able to locate the ost and since the ost resides on multiple machines at same time and is being acccesses at same time from multiple machines
OR this needs to be implemented in a particular way rather that i am doing it.....
Please help
Reply:
an update
When i go to accounts
and click on the mailbox with problem it sows the path of data file as mailbox\inbox
whereas for a working mailbox is shows as
c:\users\user\appdaata...\outlook\mailbox.ost
hope that helps

Solving "This is task is currently locked by a running workflow and can't be edited" using SharePoint Manager 2010
Hi,
I have a WF designed using SPD and the WF is working normally but some times I face the above mentioned error on approving tasks, I searched the internet and found that this may happen if task[SPBuiltInFieldId.WorkflowVersion] isn't equal 1 so I was asking if I can change this value using SharePoint manager 2010 as I navigated to the task list and opened the item but I don't have a property or a field called workflow version so kindly advise how can I access it using SP Manager or is there a way to change the status of the task to be completed?
Thanks in advance.
