BT Infinity Data Extension Kit Performance

Hi,
I am due to get BT Infinity installed and I anticipate I will need about 20m of the Data Extension Kit supplied during installation. Does use of this kit make any difference to the download\upload performance? I would be keen to hear of performance of people that use this kit.
Many thanks,
Scott

Performance will not degrade enough for you to notice, i have 3 20m extensions to 3 pc's across the house, all of them report 35mb download speeds without any loss of performance.
Using a Draytek Vigor 2820 router with the infinity modem going straight into it, i don't use the BT Homehub.
The extension is just a standard cat5 cable.
Good luck

Purchase Infinity data extension kit?

Hi
Sometime in the future I intend to get BT Infinity, but just at the moment I am doing some building work where I would like to put in place the 30 meter data extension cable so it’s there ready.
Does anybody know where I can purchase the BT Infinity data extension kit?
Thanks

(corrected ... ryant 704 is quite right)
Put in cat5e or cat6 wiring. If that is terminated with telephone type connections it will act as a data extension kit.
Or it may be better (you didn't give details of your house arrangements) to keep the modem near the current master socket, and connect it via the same cable with ethernet termination to a remote router. There is always some speed loss from data extension kit (maybe trivially small), but shouldn't be any loss with a modem/router connection up to 100m or so.
Either way, once the cable is in you can decide later how to use it.

QUERY REGARDING INFINITY DATA EXTENSION

Im having Bt Infinity installed on thursday and I want to have Hub in the room upstairs where the pc is located.My master socket is downstairs in the hall. Im very confused after reading some entries on this forum. Is their a charge for installing the data extension kit or is it part of the free install ?? http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9652 The information on this link seems to suggest their is a fee for any internal wiring work undertaken (data or telephone extensions). Is their any of the mods who can give me a definitive yes or no regarding a charge for this. Thanks

I had Infinity installed last week with a similar setup to what you describe. The OR guy made the existing extension socket upstairs the master and the downstairs socket which was the master an extension. He used a spare pair of cores in the existing extension cable to do this so no additional wiring as such was required. Everything works just as it should.

Infinity Data Extension - will it spoil the decor?

I'm seriously thinking about Infinity but the master socket is downstairs and the existing hub and everything connected to it is upstairs. Obviously I need the data extension kit. So, how discreet is this? Will the engineer run it along the same path as existing phone extensions? Will he provide a nice neutral grey to match the paintwork and keep SWMBO happy? Will he run it under carpets? Distance from master socket to hub location is about 2.5m vertically and 7m horizontally.

Would this cost money to have the kit installed? I understand it is simply an Ethernet cable where the most standard cable can deliver speeds of 100mb which you can buy for £5.00 or less.
I just want to know as I would happily install it myself if this was the case...
Thanks

BT Infinity Home Extension Kit - Wall socket to Da...

Hi,
I have two lovely house rabbits that I want to throttle, although I've guarded their access to the area, have bitten through the cable from the wall socket to the data extension kit.
The cable between the two appears to be bespoke 2 pin RJ11 twisted pair cable for this purpose and the RJ11 cable I have that fits the socket is a 4 pin connection without a twisted pair doesn't work.
BT have been great as when I asked what the cable the guy who dealt with my call didn't know and just offered to send a cable pack, which is fantastic but I need some spares for a pre-emptive strike against the fluffly ones.
Anyone have any ideas? My google-fu is turning up lots of questions regarding the connection to the home hub.
Thanks in advance.

Its should be two or three pair cat5. You can use normal 4pair cat5, if you cant get hold of two pair. Only one pair is required if its a vdsl data extension for the infinity modem.

BT Infinity - Data extension costs?

So I've just ordered BT Infinity, and it's likely I'll need a few metres data extension to place the router someplace suitable. Now I assumed this was a free option, but after reading the last two lines of this page, I'm not sure. Does data extension cost more to install, and if so, how much?
Thanks everyone

they run it along skirting boards and drill a hole through your door frame,just ask the engineer when he arrives,he will explain everything in detail they will put a new front cover on your exsisting main box...this will have two sockets.
one for your normal phone line and the other for infinity.
Q. There is smoke coming out of my open reach box... so can I have a new one.
A. Sorry sir, The fault is showing at the exchange so your box should be ok.

ADSL Extension Kit and BT Infinity

Hello,
A couple of years ago, whilst renovating the front room, I installed a NTE5 Master ADSL Adaptor and "BT Engineers ADSL Extension Kit" with a dual RJ11 (ADSL+telephone) socket. The extension cable is twisted pair but there are only 3 twisted pairs of wire. Can somebody please advise if this extension setup will work with BT Infinity. I hope it will as my main telephone socket is a corner of the room away from power. I don't mide changing sockets at either end but it's the bit in the middle I cannot easily change.
Thanks in advance
PJ

The cable you have run, does it only have 3 twisted pairs or is it Cat5 cable with 4 but you have only used 3?
Would you be able to replace this cable with CAT5e if you could?
I have recently had Cat5e cable run from the connection plate were the BT cable come into the garage to my master socket so i would also like to know the answer to your question.
Id like to think that 3 TP cable would be enough since 4 TW will give you 100MB network and infinity is only around 30MB.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Can not view 24 hours data in Websphere performance page

We configured EM 10.2.0.5 to monitor Websphere 6.1 on AIX.
Now we can see current data in the performance page.
But when we switch to 24 hours view, there is not any data shown in the page.
Does EM 10.2.0.5 support viewing Websphere historical data?

This issue is solved.
The OMR parameter job_queue_processes is set to 0.
It should be 10 or above.

Power View in SharePoint Server - The data extension type for a data source is not valid

Hi All,
All of a sudden I am getting following error when trying to create Power View report using shared report data source (no error testing the connection):
"The current action cannot be completed. The data extension type for a data source
'http://dev/Shared Ducuments/Sales.rsds' is not valid for this operation"
I already have a data source (I had created it after creating my site collection a week ago) and when I use this source to create Power View report then there is no error but I am getting above error when I create another similar data source and use it to create
a Power View report.
Please help me to resolve the error.
Thanks

I am going nuts! I had selected 'Analysis Services' instead of 'Microsoft BI Semantic Model for Power View'

How to Test SSRS Custom Data Extension in TSql

Hi There,
I have created a custom data extenstion for SSRS 2008 Reporting Service.
I can test the CDE in the Report DataSet -> DataSet Properties -> Query Designer -> Run Query.
In the Command Text I pass parameters to the invoked VB code which is of type "BaanstedeCds" then name of my custom data extension.
I can even Attach the Visual Studio VB Code Project that is invoked by the Query Designer an debug the code.
The custom data extension works perfectly in SSRS.
However I have not found a way yet to run BaanstedeCds (with a parametertext) from within SSMS 2008 by using an T-SQL statement!!! Is there a way to use the SSRS Custom Data Extension in Sql Server Management Studio using the dataset type I used in
SSRS 2008?
Because I am leaving the path of using Custom Assemblies in SSMS, for deploying an testing that way is undoable for me.
I is to complicated and in order to properly debug these routines the entire solution of multiple projects is deployed each time even the slightest change has been made to the VB code. Also if I want to deploy from Test to Production it is very hard. I have
to detach the databases etc, ect. Note my previous question about this subject that remained unanswered!!!
Using the Custom Data Extension the problems are a lot less. However I how do I use a routine in the CDS in T-SQL, like I could invoke a routine in the Custom Code Assemblies?
I "hate" CLR routines. I have extreme trouble managing these CLR's as I explained in my post and other posts in the past.
You just cannot build a maagable system that way.
I had to convert all the CLR's (I had a lot of them) to Custom Data Extension Functions, as they do not have all the drawbacks of CLR's.
And using the CDE with all the converted CLR's in it works much better for me in the Report Manager.
However in order to test de CDE I must invoke the CDE in a Windows Form something like this:
Private Sub cmdGetData_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdGetData.Click
Dim CommandText As String = ""
' Get Parameters for CDE GetData
CommandText = txtAdoCds.Text
Dim Rdr As New BstCds.BaanstedeCdsReader(CommandText)
' Invoke GetData Function of CDE Rdr
' Input: CommandText: txtAdoCds.Text = TextBox on TestForm
' Output: DataTable: RdrDataTable
Call Rdr.GetData(CommandText)
If Not Rdr.RdrRetVal Then
GoTo End_Method
End If
' Show DataTable: RdrDataTable (in Excel)
If Not BstOff.ToonTabel(DataTabel:=Rdr.RdrDataTable) Then
Exit Sub
End If
End_Method:
End Sub
'=========================================================================
' File: BaanstedeCdsReader.vb
' Summary: Provides a means of reading one or more forward-only streams
' of result sets obtained by executing a command at a data source,
' and is implemented by Baanstede Data Processing Extensions
' that access BaanstedeIw3-routines.
'=========================================================================
Public Class BaanstedeCdsReader
Implements IDataReader
#Region "Public Variables"
Public RdrRetVal As Boolean = False
Public RdrSqlSel As String = ""
Public RdrDataTable As DataTable = New DataTable
#End Region
#Region "Constructors"
#End Region
#Region "IDataReader Members"
#End Region
' GetData '
#Region "GetData Method"
'==================================================================================================
'We are executing the command using the connection string that connects to the Active Directory.
'Hard coding of the connection string is because it is the same for all the ADs.
'Once we read the data using a DataReader, we place the same in a DataTable so that can be used for
'Other processings.
' Public Sub GetData(ByVal _CommandText As String)
' Output in Public RdrDataTable As DataTable
'==================================================================================================
Public Sub GetData(ByVal _CommandText As String)
' Ophalen Data in DataTabel '
RdrRetVal = False
' Fills RdrDataTable Using _COmmandText
RdrRetVal = True
End Sub
But can I invoke Report Manager Source Type BaanstdeCds's .BaanstedeCdsReader.GetData(CommandText) in TSQL any other way then using CLR ?
Regards Jos
It works, but it does not work (The program runs, but does not produce the desired result)

Hi Josje,
Thank you for your question.
I am trying to involve someone more familiar with this topic for a further look at this issue. Sometime delay might be expected from the job transferring. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Question: New Hard Drive and Data Transfer Kit Device

Yep, I go another HDD this time for my lil Compaq Persario 700 series notebook OS Win XP. I bought a DriveWire Univeral Adapter & Data Transfer Kit. I want to know if there would be any issue transferring my iTunes Library to my new HDD? I do have some music apart of my iTunes Library that's DRM protected. Should still deactivate my account during the transfer . . . that is, if it's possible. Thank you for any assistance your can give me. Itunes 10 by the way.

From what you posted, you should be able to set the itunes media folder location to the exHD and then run the ituens consolidate library command.
That will put your itunes library content onto the exHD.
Here's Apple's article on that
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364
Pay attention to this note from it
+Note: If you move your library to an external drive, you'll need to power up and connect the drive before starting iTunes. If you don't, iTunes will prompt you to either locate the library or to create a new library (which will result in an empty library). No matter what, it's always a good idea to have a backup of the media you have in iTunes.+
That means you MUST have the exHD connected BEFORe starting itunes. WHat it doesn't mention is, it always needs to have the same drive letter. WIndows can change USB port drive letter without telling you it's doing it. Best practice, is to assign a permanent drive letter such as m: for Media. You can assign drive letters using windows disk manager.
There's no need to deactivate any account during this procedure - why do you think you should?

Upgrade from VS 2010 to VS 2012 - SSRS Data Extension no longer works.

I have upgraded to VS 2012 (with BI Tools) installed. We have an SSRS Data Extension that worked fine with VS 2010, both in the VS designer and on the SSRS server. I made the same changes as VS2010 to RSReportDesigner.config and RSPreviewPolicy.config
in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ and the data extension name is there in the data source dropdown, but it isn't the localized name from the assembly - so obviously the assembly does not appear to be
loading properly. In ProcMon, I can see devenv finding the DLL and even doing a load image on it, but clearly I am missing something. Any ideas or at least hints on how to troubleshoot this?
My dev machine is Windows 7 x64. The VS 2010 version was compiled for Any CPU (I have tried this one). I have also tried to build an x86 version, since I read somewhere it needs to be compiled for 32 bits. I also tried a debugging version that logs every
call and clearly VS isn't calling anything, since a log isn't even created.
Please help!
Thanks
Mitch vH
btw; not related - but it is kind of lame that I am having to use Chrome to create this, since IE went to a spiral of death trying to sign me into my live account.

Hi Mitch vH,
According to your description, the issue is that you cannot load the assembly in the Reporting Services. Based on my research, when the process or configured impersonation account does not have permissions access to the ASP.NET temporary files folder will
cannot load the assembly. To avoid this issue, please try to specify the Read/Write permission for an account to:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\ReportSerever
And please check have you referenced there some other special assembly in your DLL, which is may missing on the server? There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13379804/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-in-reporting-services
Hope this helps. If the issue is persist, please check if you have get any error message. Could you please post the error message? It is benefit for further analysis.

Date Extension on Crystal Output Filename in Scheduler

Post Author: mek
CA Forum: General
We use Crystal Reports 10. When we schedule reports through the CMC scheduler we add the date to the output filename by selecting the DateTime option from the variable properties list ( ex. ExpoSalesSummaryReport_%DateTime%.xls generates a file named ExpoSalesSummaryReport_2007-04-25-10-46-33.xls). The date format that is automatically concatenated onto the filename by Crystal is not what we need. We do not want the time in the date extension and we want the date format simplified, without dashes.
Our team needs to have additional values available in the variable properties list of the report scheduler that would allow us to select a specific date format to be concatenated to the filename when we schedule reports. For example, we would like to have the following selections in the picklist (new options that we want to add and use are bolded), ex:
Title
ID
Owner
DateTime
FileExtension
DateMMDDYY
DateMMDDYYYY
DateMONDDYY
DateMONDDYYYY
Is it possible to create new parameters for the scheduler picklist that can add a date extension to the filename in the format we want? I would think that there must be some way to customize the file extension mask behind the scenes in Crystal 10.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Raafje,
Like I've already discussed in my Blog ,Using Date Expressions on Filenames of Burst Query has its own limitations. This date expression that you have tried for sysdate-1 (%d-1%m%y) will not hold good to the requirement. Anyways you can resolve the issue using other work arounds.
Method I (Using CAST and DATE Functions)
1.Previous Day -> CAST(DAYOFMONTH(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1, CURRENT_DATE)) AS CHAR)
2.Month of Previous Day -> CAST(MONTH(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1, CURRENT_DATE ) ) AS CHAR)
3.Year of Previous Day -> CAST(YEAR(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1, CURRENT_DATE)) AS CHAR)
Sample Code
+'ReportName'||'-'||CAST( DAYOFMONTH(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1, CURRENT_DATE)) AS CHAR)||'-'||CAST(MONTH(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1, CURRENT_DATE ) ) AS CHAR)||'-'||CAST( YEAR(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1, CURRENT_DATE)) AS CHAR)||'.pdf'+
Method II (Using Server Variables)
1. Create a Dynamic Repository Variable like Previous_Date(Non-System Session variables can also be used)
2. Create a Initialization blocks
In Data Source Section - Edit Data Source and place the below query
Select TO_CHAR(SYSDATE-1,'MM/DD/YYYY')
FROM Dual (you can use any date format as required)
3. In Variable Target Section
Edit Target -
Give the Name as Previous_Date (as you created in Step1) and Enable the Radio Button as Dynamic
Place date in Default Value like '9/22/2010'
4. Now use this Repository Variable in the filename parameter of the burst query as VALUEOF("Previous_Date") for Repository Variable
and VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Previous_Date) in case you have created a session variable for the query
Thanks & Regards,
Goushalya
