August 2014 Scheduled Maintenance - Are Web and Worker Roles affected?

Are Web and Worker Roles affected by the Scheduled Maintenance that will be performed on Aug 2, 2014? The email that I received from Microsoft Azure states that it will affect VMs and Cloud Services and goes on to say how to keep your VMs available
despite the maintenance by setting up Availability Sets for VMs, but does not mention a strategy for Web and Worker roles.
What am I missing here?

Hello Farid_Azure,
Yes, the Web and Worker Roles are also affected by the scheduled maintenance as the web roles and worker roles are residing on the hardware that will go on maintenance.
The Cloud Service deployments will also reboot during the maintenance. You can increase the number of instances running for your web roles and worker roles to avoid being affected:

I hope that this answers your question.

What are Azure limitations for Websockets in Cloud Services (web and worker role)?

A WebSocket Server should be built on Azure platform with OnPrem connections and have questions regarding limitations for Websockets in Azure Cloud Services - web and worker roles.
Websockets can be configured for Web Sites and limitations are understood, but Azure Websites is not an option.
Nevertheless it is planned to run a web service (without UI - no web site) as a Cloud service which has secure websocket (WSS) connections to OnPrem machines. Websocket protocol is enabled for IIS8 on Cloud services web and worker roles. Azure Service Bus Relay
is not an option.
Questions:
1) Are Websockets supported for Azure Cloud services web and worker roles? we assume yes
2) What are potential limitations from Azure side to support concurrent Websocket connections? We are aware that CPU, memory etc are limitations, but are there additional limitations from MS Azure side?

Hi,
As I know, azure cloud service web and worker role support Websockets, users can connect to the role via the special endpoint, if we use Azure cloud service, I think we can monitor the metrics such as CPU, memory, etc... and scale our cloud service via these
metrics to keep the websockets working, refer to
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-how-to-scale/ for more information about how to scale a cloud service.

Is it possible to do Continuous deployment for azure cloud services(website,web and worker roles) using VSO Release management?

Hi,
I am trying to do continuous deployment using visual studio online and release management for Azure cloud services. But not able to find the way to do it(with the help of different blogs, those are describing using VM only).
I tried using Release management visual studio extension also. But no Luck.
Please help me if it is possible to do continuous deployment using release management.

My Mac suddenly stopped playing through my external speakers which are fine and working well with other devices.

My Mac suddenly stopped playing through my external speakers which are fine and working well with other devices.

Have a look in System Preferences -> Sound -> Output.
Plug the speakers out. Do you now see "Internal Speaker" as the name from the Built-in device? If you replug your speakers, is it now changing to "Headphone?

Hi,
you can use process monitoring or the alert function in the standalone TREXAdmin tool.

OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

I have a standard MacBook from 2007. My optical drive broke on this a while ago. I was wondering which external optical drives are compatible and work with this MacBook? Thanks.

I downloaded podcast from a polish radio site. They are fine and working on my macpro but when I try to copy them to my ipod I get a massage that " this podcast can not be played on this ipod" . what can I do?

Or because the episodes are video but are in a format which plays on iTunes but not on an iPod Touch. Only the originator of the podcast can do anything about that.

Time machine tells me last successful back up 19 August 2014. Have done restores and utility checks to no avail.

We need a bit more info.
You don't state that you are backing up to a Time Capsule but I am guessing that is the case.
1. I need to know, what TC??
A1xxx from the base please. They do go faulty as they age.
2. How is it connected into the network? Is it main router or bridged? Plugged into what router or modem?
3. How does the computer connect to it?
4. Is the computer running Lion as per your profile or is it Mavericks? This latest OS is problematic. Its network reliability is poor.
If you are running mavericks.. and using wireless then I recommend you plug the computer directly to the TC by ethernet.
You can turn off wireless and see if you can get TM to start.
Otherwise go through the Mavericks clean setup with the TC and see if that will get it going.
Airtport Utility can't find Airport Time Capsule on either of my 2009 Macs
The very simple version of this..
Mount the TC hard disk in Finder manually.
Type AFP://10.0.1.1 (or whatever IP is shown by the airport utility)
You will be asked for the disk password.. supply it and save it in the keychain.
Try TM.. if it still doesn't work, reset TM and try again.
A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Ensure that IPv6 is set to link-local only in both wireless and ethernet (if you use it).
No luck you will need to follow the clean setup instructions and start over from scratch.

Share Same DbContext between web role and worker role

HI
My "Windows Azure Cloud Service" project consists of one web role (.NET MVC) and one worker role, they are working fine under "Emulator".
The web role project is orginally a Azure web site application which is converted to a web role project and the connectionstring is located in the web role application
http://thinkfirstcodelater.com/blog/?p=1922
When I try to access the dbcontext in worker role like this
public override void Run()
            // This is a sample worker implementation. Replace with your logic.
            Trace.TraceInformation("CCDWorker entry point called", "Information");
            while (true)
                Thread.Sleep(50000);
MyContext context = new MyContext();
                List<MyEntity> ccds = context.MyEntity.ToList();
                Trace.TraceInformation("Working", "Information");
I got this exception: "The model backing the context has changed since the database was created." Please help
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
Thanks for posting!
Like jeff said in this blog(http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/08/03/using-ef-code-first-with-an-existing-database.aspx ),When a model
is first created, we run a DatabaseInitializer to do things like create the database if it's not there or add seed data. The default DatabaseInitializer tries to compare the database schema needed to use the model with a hash of the schema stored in an EdmMetadata
table that is created with a database (when Code First is the one creating the database). Existing databases won’t have the EdmMetadata table and so won’t have the hash…and the implementation today will throw if that table is missing. We'll work on changing
this behavior before we ship the fial version since it is the default. Until then, existing databases do not generally need any database initializer so it can be turned off for your context type by calling:
Database.SetInitializer<YourDatabaseContext>(null);
Also, you could refer to this thread,http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3600175/the-model-backing-the-database-context-has-changed-since-the-database-was-crea

Business Areas, Folders and Work Books

Hi,
We have approximately 20 business areas and around 200 workbooks. We are trying to reduce business areas. We are creating 4 new business areas ,under which I want to import all 20 business areas into 4 new business areas. So I am coying all folders under 20 business areas into 4 new business areas.
I am unable to do the same with workbooks. Now ,when we are trying to open the workbooks, we are having issue in opeing the workbook as workbooks are referring old business area folders. I want to opne the work books refering folders with in the new busiess areas.
Is there any way to do this other than creating workbook again?
Thanks.

Hi,
D4O do not uses any business are as it is used for OLAP reporting. You cannot have an option/prompt to user to select a particular analytic workspace.
If you grant access on AW$<AW Name> object to the user then the user can see everything inside that workspace. If you want the user to see both the workspace then you should grant the select privilege to both AWs.
Suppose the two workspaces are in two diferent schemas i.e. schema1 and schema2 having AW1 and AW2 as the workspace respectively. If you want to grant access to both the above workspaces to user say user1, then you should grant privilege like this
grant select on schema1.aw$AW1 to user1;
grant select on schema2.aw$AW2 to user1;
The above grants ensure that the user1 can see all the cubes in both the workspace. Ensure that the user1 should have D4OPUB and OLAP_USER role granted.
Thanks

I have two add-ons that are enabled AND working but they are their icons are not displaying.

I have Firebug and Adblock-Plus on my Firefox browser that are not displaying their normal shortcut buttons next to the search bar of Firefox. They were displaying fine yesterday, now today they are not displaying at all. They are installed and enabled. There were no changes on my end (user end), that could explain this occurrence. No new addons installed. No new plugins. Any help would be grateful.

I have Firebug and am on Ubuntu at present, so my options may differ slightly from Windows, and over time the Firebug options probably have changed.
If you reset the toolbars to default settings by resetting localstore.rdf you may need to make some changes to recreate whatever you had before.
I may display a full Firebug toolbar with keyboard key F12. That toolbar includes several display options from clicking the firebug icon. I also have Firebug showing as an option from
* Tools -> WebDeveloper -> Firebug.
If I use the customise toolbars option; for example from right clicking an empty space on a toolbar; the palette of icons includes one for Firebug that I may place where I like. If you try to create a custom toolbar remember it needs to be populated, if it has nothing on it it will not display.
P.S.
Presumably you are able to use Firebug, it is just an icon that you are missing ? is that correct ?

My iphone 5s keeps changing time on its own and keeps disconnecting from the wifi and cellular data. All other devices are connected and working. Is it a virus?

What can i do to fix it? My husband suggests I reset my phone but I'm afraid my data will be wiped off an that would be of total waste if the problem doesn't even get solved. Your help would be much appreciated!

There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPhone that has not been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store). If you have jailbroken it, you have exposed yourself to malware, and should restore the phone to factory defaults, without restoring a backup. All data will be lost, but that is unavoidable.
Most likely, you haven't jailbroken it, in which case you don't have to worry about malware. In that case, it's hard to say what's going on, but there are some things you can try.
First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.
