By Default Microsoft is using our data !!!

I just downloaded latest Skype 7 and was looking whats new in this version. Well here we have Microsoft placing by default this option.
"Allow Microsoft to use your Skype profile information to show you more relevant ads in this application".
How do you like that?

I had that problem once, the way I fixed the two addons I had problems with was to find and manually download the xpi file from the author's page. Once you have that you can edit the install.rtf file that is inside it.
Here's a guide on how that works.

What's the default compression DB uses on data?

I read that prefix compression is used on the keys. But what about the data values? We've been trying out in-memory databases and the memory usage we're seeing is way less than the data we're putting in; without even considering the keys and data structure overhead. For instance, with a billion 64 bit integers as values stored against keys that are 10 to 16 bytes long, top is showing resident memory usage of around 5 GB. That seems almost too good to be true. Is there some hidden cost we're not looking at?

data value compression needs to be done at the application level. We do prefix compression on the data keys only.
thanks

Linked Server [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Hi I have SQL2012 installed on my local machine and have also installed MySQL 5.6.23 installed with a test database.
I also have my SQL connector installed and MYSQL ODBC Driver 3.51.
Which happily connects to the Mysqldb.
The Datasource Name : mySQL conn
TCP/IP Server : localhost and Port :3306
User root
with pwd
On the SQL side I have used the following
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'MYSQLSRV',
@srvproduct=N'mySQL conn',
@provider=N'MSDASQL',
@datasrc=N'mySQL conn'
However when I try to selet using open query
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY ( [MYSQLSRV], 'SELECT * FROM students' )
it comes back with
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQLSRV" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQLSRV".
I cant understand what I have done wrong . Any help in this would be great as Ive hit a bit of a brick wall

Hi Robert3975,
In addition to other post, please also note the following things.
1. If you use the 32-bit driver on a 64-bit machine, please run the 32bit version of "odbcad32.exe" by running "c:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"
from Start/Run menu and
create your ODBC DSN. However, for the 64-bit driver, use c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe to create your ODBC DSN. For more details, please review this similar
thread.
2. Expand the folder Providers under Linked server directory in SSMS and go to properties of MSDASQL provider and configure it properly as described in this blog:
Creating Linked server to MYSQL from SQL Server.

Did you add a System DSN or a User DSN? If you added a User DSN from your own login, the asp.net application will not be able to use it unless its application Pool in IIS is configured to run under the same credentials that you used for creating
the DSN. It's better if you add a System DSN.
Also, be careful to ensure that you are using a 64 bit DSN, unless you configure the application to run in 32 bits. If the 64 bit application attempts to use the 32 bit driver you get the same error message "Data source name not found and no default
driver specified". See this KB article:

SQL Server Reporting Services: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Hey everyone, So I am trying to get a report onto the server, and in BIDS I kept getting a login screen repeating over and over when I tried to deploy my report, so I tried to upload the file at http://<servername>/Reports This worked, but then trying
to run this report from http://<servername>/Reports did not work either because "An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Cannot create a connection to data source 'FTYDataSource'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) For more information
about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors" Anyways I tried to add a New Data Source (which I would use in the report) at http://<servername>/Reports, type ODBC, with the connection string Dsn=blah_blahblah.
I try to test the connection here and get the error ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified This is really getting old fast, everything I try, a new error comes up. Granted I am new at this,
but this still should not be this troublesome. Does anyone have any ideas on what could FINALLY allow me to just put a report out onto the server?!? THANK YOU in advance for ANY help.

Hi,
Please try setting the credentials of the datasource.
1. Double click and open the datasource in your project.
2. Click on the credentials tab, and click on option button 'Use this username and password'
3. Enter the username and password to connect to the datasource
4. Deploy or upload the datasource to the report server and try accessing the reports.
Hope this helps.

Is there any way to have Mail automatically use our default "Sent" folder?

We are a small college, with a fair number of users who use Macs and iOS devices, and we run an IMAP mail server. By default, our accounts are configured with Sent, Trash, Drafts, and Junk folders. Apple's Mail.app insists on "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" rather than "Sent" and "Trash".
We instruct our users to use the menu command Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > commands to select our server's folders on their desktops, and on iOS to use the Settings > Mail > Account > Advanced, but this is tedious and annoying. Most users get it about half right, so that some devices use our default "Sent", and some use "Sent Messages". (This happens with Trash as well, but most users are not concerned if their Trash differs device to device.)
Is there any server setting that can hint to Mail.app that it should use "Sent" rather than "Sent Messages"?
Apple has a support document about this issue, "Mountain Lion Mail: If messages aren't stored where expected on the server" ( http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11810 ).
However, that doc (and the similar one for Snow Leopard) merely says, "When Mail stores messages on the server, it looks for specific mailboxes, by name, in which to put the messages. If Mail doesn’t find those mailboxes on the server, it tries to create them on the server or, failing that, on your Mac."
The document does not specify what the "specific mailboxes" are, and certainly does not suggest that there is any way to have it cooperate better with our server, but perhaps there is a way?
(If I was trying to be a good IMAP client, I might look for any of "Sent", "Sent Messages", or "Sent Items", and use what I found before going to the next step of creating my own folder. Hard to imagine that any IMAP account would be initially configured without some "Sent" folder, so why not try to discover what the user has before pig-headly making your own.)

Unfortunately, I have not found a consise way to explain this to the general user, just a huge wall of text to work around something that Apple got wrong the first time they created an IMAP client, and has stubbornly persited with. Here's our documentation for this silly problem:
Special Folders on IMAP
The basic idea is that all IMAP mail programs keep all your mail on our server, so that, e.g. when you read or reply to a message, all of your devices can then show that message as read and replied to.
By convention, each IMAP program treats a few folders on the server as "Special", such as a "Trash" folder, that deleted messages get moved to, and a "Sent" folder, where each message you send gets copied. When they all pick the same special folders, all of your devices will show the same view of your mail. However, if different devices use different server folders for their "special" Sent folder, then the mail from these two devices will wind up in two different places, and be harder to find.
Unfortunately, Apple's Mail programs are particularly obscure and obtuse in the way they treat these folders: They show their special Sent and Trash folders on screen with the obvious names "Sent" and "Trash", but secretly, under the covers, they insist on using folders named, "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" instead. Even if the server already has perfectly usable "Sent" and "Trash" folders, Apple clients will ignore them and create their own special case "special" folders.
If you only ever use Apple devices to look at your IMAP mail, you might never even notice their deception. But, if you sometimes use another mail client, such as webmail, you will encounter the confusing truth: When we created your account for the very first time, we add a "Sent" folder (actually named "Sent") and a Trash folder, named "Trash", and this is what everything except Apple's mail will use by default, because those folders are already their the first time the client connects to your account. However, even though Apple shows your special sent folder at the top of the list, with a paper-airplane icon, and labels it "Sent", in fact they ignore the existing "Sent" folder and make and use their own "Sent Messages."
SO, if you send some mail from webmail, it will be in your actual "Sent" folder, whereas if you send it from an Apple mail program, it will be put into your "Sent Messages" folder. If you look into either "Sent" special folder, you'll only find part of your previously sent mail.
Similarly for Trash, though most users find it more problematic to have two different Sent collections than to have multiple trash buckets.
To unify things, you can either set your non-Apple mail programs to use "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Items"; OR, you can set all of your Apple devices to use "Sent" and "Trash". Doesn't really matter which way you go, though if a majority of your devices are doing it a particular way, you should change the non-matching devices to agree with the majority.
(All clear so far? Why did Apple make this so hard? It would have been utterly simple for them to check for an existing "Sent" folder, and to use one if there is one, rather than to always stubbornly create and use a new "Sent Messages" folder. Then, they add to the problem by pretending that their new "Sent Messages" folder is really just named "Sent". Stupidity all the way down.)
Anyways, to find out what the majority of your devices are doing, check them each to see which of the "sent" folders shows up in the "normal" list of folders rather than in the "special" location, that is, what folder name is in the list at the bottom of the folder area, rather than up at the special "Sent" icon, (because the special one will always be labeled "Sent", not matter what the actual folder name is).
For example, say that on all-but-one of your mail setups, you see a "Sent Messages" folder down in the normal list, and on the other device, you see "Sent" down in the normal list.
In that case, you'd want to set the "different" device to make the folder named "Sent" be the special one, instead of the "Sent Messages" that it was currently using.
Conversely, if all but one showed "Sent" down in the regular folder area, and only one showed "Sent Messages", then you'd want to make "Sent Messages" the special folder on the odd device.
Once you have decided, see the specific sections below for the procedure to set the "special" folders for Apple's Mail.app on a Mac, Apple's Mail on an iPhone/Pad/Pod, or for RoundCube webmail, or for Thunderbird.
Once you have every device using the same sent folder, then you can move any messages from the "extra" version of the folder into your special folder, and then you can delete the extra folder. (If you delete this extra folder and it later re-appears, then it means one of your mail programs is still using it as its "special" folder, and recreating it.)
Similarly for Trash, though probably you could delete the extra trash folder without moving the files, because they are trash.
Here are the details for changing the Special Mail Folders on the systems we use:
A) iPhone, iPad, iPod:
As a first step, use Settings > Mail to set your device to read your email account, then open the Mail program so that it will read the list of all of your folders from the mail server. After that, go back to Settings > Mail to make sure it is using the desired special mailboxes on the server.
Select your IMAP account in the settings tool, and then press the button for "Advanced" settings, and find the list of special mailboxes, e.g. Sent, Trash, Drafts. For each, scroll through the list of folders on the server to choose the folder you wish to use for that function.
Note: iPhones/Pads/Pods also can be set to keep sent mail locally on the device. This is a spectacularly stupid choice for normal IMAP, as none of your other devices will be able to see the messages you send from your phone.
B) Mail.app on Mac desktops and laptops:
Set up mail so that it reads your messages and folders from the mail server.
Select the "Sent" folder that you wish to use in the list of folders at the lower left of the mail window. (On newer Macs, the folders may be hidden by default. Use the "View > Show Folder List" menu command to display them if necessary.)
Use the menu command "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent" to specify that the selected mail box is the special folder for sent mail, and similarly for your Trash, Junk, or Drafts folders.
C) RoundCube Webmail (with the standard skin):
Login to your webmail site , and select the "Settings" icon in the upper right of the window, which has a "Gear" icon. This will display a "Settings" panel with buttons for "Preferences", "Folders", and "Identities" settings. When you first open the Settings panel, the "Section" panel shows a row of buttons for different Preferences.
Click "Special Folders" in the "Section" list to open a list of "Drafts", "Sent", "Junk", and "Trash". Each special folder is followed by a menu of all your server folders. Select the server folder to use for each special folder.
D): Thunderbird:
After you have set up your connection to your IMAP account, click "Get Mail" to fetch your existing mail and list of folders on the server.
Next, select the menu command "Options > Account Settings…" (Note that on current versions of Thunderbird, the default menu drops down from an icon of three horizontal bars, in the upper right corner of the mail window. You can use the Options command in this menu to display a menu bar at the top of the Thunderbird window if you wish. With the full menu, the menu command to access the special folders settings is "Tools > Account Settings…"
Select "Copies and Folders" in the list at the left of the Account Settings window. This panel has a section for Sent mail, Archives, Drafts, and Templates. Select "Junk Settings" in the list at left to specify the location of the Junk special folder.
For each special folder, the default choice is the the folder on the server with the "typical" name, e.g. "Sent" for sent, and "Trash" for trash. To use a different name, select the "Other:" option for the folder, and then choose the desired folder from the list of folders on the server.
Oof! That's a lot of explaining for a issue that Apple should have gotten right in the first place, or at least should have fixed in their next several tries. It would not break any existing functionality if they merely used whatever folder the server had created, and only made their own if there was none.

I found this (TS3579: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac Learn about If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac) useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up in Finder.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

Our organization uses an Oracle database hosted on a Unix platform and one of our data processing outputs is a “stuffer” document that has a barcode, and Unix jobs automatically send the document to a printer.
Is there a way, or does Adobe have a product or solution, to create a PDF version of the document including the barcode, before it’s sent to a printer?

What format is the document that is printed? Or what technology is used to format the printer? There isn't a standard way of doing things in Unix.

Record entry date - using system date as default not working

Hi,
I have a form which allow users to enter the information... I want to have a field to save the date when they've updated the record...
in order to accomplish the above, here is what I did:
1) I created an item on the form (put the source as table_column that I am using to save the record entry date on the table)...
2) In the Default field I put "sysdate" to capture the current date...
3) I made the item "Display only" so that no one should be able to change it...
so far so good... when my users open the form they see current date populated in the form...
my challenge is that when user saves the form, everything that they enter saves except for the "record modification date"... Not sure if it's due to date format or something else causing it, the date format on my form is DD-MON-YY and seems like the format on my table is DD/MM/YYYY... if it's the date formatting issue then please advice how to fix it...
I've saved a sample on APEX.ORACLE.COM for your review and comments... Here are the log in details
Workspace: tparvaiz
Username: [email protected]
Password: tparvaiz

Hi,
Default value only used when item value is null. So when you fetch the from it gets the value from database column and omit the default value. I use trigger to store audit information i.e. create date, username etc.
Here is an example if you want to use -
The following trigger will capture the date and username and store into the table.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_BI_TABLE_NAME
BEFORE INSERT
ON TABLE_NAME
REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
/* change the column name as of your table */
:new.create_date := SYSDATE;
:new.created_by := v('APP_USER');
END;This trigger will store user information and date when record been updated -
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_BU_TABLE_NAME
BEFORE UPDATE
ON TABLE_NAME
REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
/* change the column name as of your table */
:new.update_date := SYSDATE;
:new.updated_by := v('APP_USER');
END;Hope this helps,

Retrieving data from Microsoft Access using JDBC

I noticed that when i tried retrieving data from Microsoft access using JDBC, I realised that it was throwing SQLException when the column names were two word with spaces between them, e.g. Date Birth. But after i removed the space from the column names, my SQL queries were retrieving data. Was it because of the space in between the column names of the table?

Yeah, as far as I know having two word column names isn't allowed in SQL. There might be some way to escape it, but generally it's sensible to avoid it.

No. As long as she's connected to WiFi, no cellular data is being used.

Microsoft Websites using non-standard URL lengths to libraries causing firewall exceptions which prevent service usability

Hi,
Myself and
other Microsoft customers have been experiencing a problem behind our corporate firewalls with accessing Microsoft services (Microsoft.com, most Microsoft Support pages, Microsoft Downloads, etc.). I previously had the same problem early August with SharePoint
Online but that appears to have been corrected (at least for now).
The symptom:
Microsoft Webpage contents load but then the whole pages appear blank (in Chrome and IE 11). The body style is set to "visibility:hidden;".
The cause:
Many Microsoft websites use scripts/libraries from http://ots.optimize.webtrends.com and these particular URL's are extremely long and in a bizarre way. In this instance, it's sending Chrome and IE 11 webclients to a URL that is 3472 characters in length (that's
over 3.3KB for just the URL) and the URL retrieves a JS function call that's 157 characters in length.
Our corporate firewall is blocking HTTP GET requests to URL lengths greater than a particular length (to prevent infected web-clients from exploiting external web servers). I believe it's set to 2048 characters by default.
The workaround:
Set useragent string to IE 10 or lower. It doesn't serve pages that include such long URL lengths in these cases.
Modify the style of the page in developer mode and set visibility:visible on the body. Works in IE or Chrome then.
Convince IT to change our corporate firewall to ignore URL Path Length restrictions
I'm convinced that this is a bug from Microsoft for many reasons:
Microsoft claims IE's maximum URL length is 2083 characters. See
here.
It's arguably poor form to be requiring kilobytes of data just to locate a resource(such as a .js file)
It's wasting Microsoft's bandwidth. Using 3472 bytes to retrieve 157 bytes that run a function (in another .js file from MS) that sets the body style.
It's preventing Microsoft customers that are using IE11 on Windows 7/8, who are behind firewalls that check URL Path Length's, from using Microsoft services.
It does appear to serve content that is unique to the request but there's got to be a better way to accomplish whatever it is MS is actually trying to accomplish with the contents:
WTOptimize.fireEvent(new WTEvent(WTEvent.CONTROL_PART, WTEvent.STATUS_SUCCESS, {control:"WT3VtgdmLPVOceeXKd8U15PFuYs7rn2UxwpN_67li21nuTEqahNZFhhiLz-KXk~"}));
Is it trying to display the content on modern browsers only after the page has successfully loaded? I'm not sure, but that's what it's looking like to me.

Hi,
I do need more time to make test for your problem. Please be patient.
Thanks for your understanding.

IPad 2 chooses to use Cellular data instead of Wi-Fi (This is Sh*t!)

Just learned today, the hard way, that for some reason the iPad 2 in it's eternal wishdom chooses to use Cellular data (3G) over Wi-Fi while both are available!
If the iPad 2 is not smart enough or can not be made smart enough to strongly choose Wi-Fi over Cellular data (3G) at the very least an option should be added under Wi-Fi settings as well as Cellular data settings to allow the user to select it's preferrence.
I was stunned to learn today while downloading several Gb(s) of data that the iPad while having both available, that is Cellular data (3G) and Wi-Fi, it choose to use Cellular data (3G) and burn right through the $25 AT&T data plan for the month.
To speak with Steve Jobs: "This is sh*t!"
I hate to say it, but the Nokia phones resolve this better. They at least have an option that allows the user to choose so it defaults to Wi-Fi when available.

Yes, I found out about this issue after receiving a warning notice from ATT about data plan running out on my wife's ipad, even though it never left the house, and was always connected to our AP home network. Here is the link to my thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11636856#11636856
Since then, I have heard from both Apple and ATT (actually both called my cell). Neither one has an explanation, but they expressed concern about both claimed they are "looking into to this issue further". I suspect this is a wildfire about to run out of control for AT&T, given the abandonment of their unlimited plans. My suspicion is that some of this data lead is occurring in the middle of the night, with apple tapping into the logs.

The connection string for coded UI Data driven test using excel data source is not working

Hello,
I am using the visual studio 2012 coded UI test, i added the following connection strings to connect to an excel data source:
[DataSource("System.Data.Odbc", "Dsn=Excel Files;Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};dbq=C:\\Users\\shaza.said.ITWORX\\Desktop\\Automation\\On-track Automation Framework\\On-track_Automation\\Automation data file.xls;defaultdir=.;driverid=790;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5;readonly=true",

Thanks for Adrian's help.
Hi shaza,
From the error message, I suggest you can refer the Adrian's suggestion to check the date source connection string correctly.
In addition, you can refer the following about how to Create a Data-Driven Coded UI Test to check your issue:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624082.aspx
Or you can also try to use a Configuration File to Define a Data Source for coded UI test.
For example:
<?xml

encoding="utf-8"
?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section

How to use '*' as data Element in the NTE(Edi 850) Segment

Hi All,
I am facing a field level error while using '*' in EDI 850 (NTE segment). '*' is also used as Data Element.
For Eg: NTE*GEN*My Text *goes here
Here, NTE02 should be My Text *goes here. So, how can I use "*" here without changing anything in the EDI message?
I have asked this question before
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1668e8d8-ee99-4d79-961b-8d26f3a496f8/error-while-using-in-the-nte-edi-850-segment-where-is-also-used-as-data-element?forum=biztalkediandas2
The answer in the above forum was to ask client modify the EDI message.
Previously, our client was using a different technology (other than BizTalk) which was working fine with this format. So, they are insisting on this format only.
Thanks,

Sorry, the answer is the same.
It doesn't matter what EDI platform either side is using, the '*' in the field content conflicts with the '*' that is the element delimiter. That is invalid EDI, there is no way around that short of writing a custom EDI parser.
It's not clear if you're sending or receiving this message. But again, it's really doesn't matter.
1. Change the Element Delimiter to something other than '*'. < or > are not uncommon.
2. If you are receiving the EDI, create a custom Pipeline Component that "handles" NTE02 either by replacing the '*' with a substitute char or deleting it.
3. If you are receiving, you could add extra elements to NTE to accommodate extra fields (since that's how the parser will see them). Then you can join them again in a Map.
