Create OLE DB synthetic that has failover ability if proxy is down much like resource pools

As the title indicates, I would like to create a monitor that is fault tolerant and queries an OLE DB datasource. Today you can target multiple agents to perform a synthetic transaction using the OOB templates, however I only want a single agent
performing the query at any given time. If the primary proxy/agent is down, I would like the synthetic transaction to failover to the other proxy node(s). This behavior is like network or unix/linux devices which use resource pools.

You must create unhosted class or it can be unhosted singleton class (group) and target your monitor on this class.

I assume I would then create a rollup monitor so that I don't trigger an alert should one proxy be down or experience a technical issue.

HOWTO: Create a Boot Configuration That Has No Driver Signature Checks. Disable Driver Integrity Checks and Install a Custom Non-Signed Driver

Hello,
Recently, I had a task where I needed to install a custom non-signed driver onto my Windows 8 64-bit setup. As it is known, Windows has driver enforcement policies that, as a security measure, do not allow you to install non-signed drivers.
I did not want to alter my current boot configuration so I decided to create a separate boot entry that would have driver signing policies disabled. For some reason I did not find any good source that would contain a step-by-step instruction on completing
this task, so I decided that I'd better share my experience here.
Lastly, there are multiple ways how you could turn off driver enforcement policies, but I find the way to do this via boot manager.
Here's how you can do that.
1. Press WindowsKey and type 'cmd' (without quotes) to find Command prompt, then click Command prompt icon. If you have User Account Control turned on, hold Ctrl+Shift keys pressed when clicking the icon.
This will force Windows to ask you for elevation of command prompt. Elevation is necessary for editing Boot Configuration Database (BCD), the database used by Windows boot manager to store boot settings.
2. In the User Account Control window click Yes to confirm elevation of command shell.
3. At the command prompt type
bcdedit
to list your BCD entries.
This will give you an output like:

The section that starts with Windows Boot Manager lists current settings for the boot menu. Here you find what boot entry is chosen by default, this is the one what you will boot into if you do not select any boot entry in the
boot menu.
The following record
default {current}
indicates that by default my Windows boots into configuration which I use at the moment (currently booted Windows configuration).
To find out what exactly is current configuration, look into the list of boot entries, records that contain boot loader configuration and are titled as Windows Boot Loader in the bcdedit output.
For example, the entry shown above is one of my boot configurations. This is one of the boot entries listed on the boot manager screen when I start my PC and it looks like:
Windows Boot Loader
identifier {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}

resumeobject {a329b5cf-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}

This record has a unique GUID identifier that can be used to reference this boot entry, which is:
identifier {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
If we look at the Windows Boot Manager settings, we'll see this entry is the first in order to be displayed in the boot menu on OS start (I marked the unique bits):
displayorder {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
{a329b5cc-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
It references my VHD drive, a virtual hard drive where my Windwos 8 setup is residing:
device vhd=[D:]\win8prowmc01.vhdx
And it also specifies that the boot manager must use UEFI BIOS extension code to access my Windows boot partition:
path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
3. Now locate the current boot entry.
Current boot entry contains boot settings used to boot into Windows configuration to which you are currently booted. It is referenced in the list of boot entries as a Windows Boot Loader record that has the {current} keyword inside and may
look like:
Windows Boot Loader

Because we are more than happy with current configuration and want to base our new boot configuration on these settings, we need to copy this boot entry ({current}) to a new boot entry.
This is done by running the following command:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /copy {current} /d "No Driver Signature Check"
Parameter /d here indicates that the following sequence of characters specifies the display name for the new boot entry that we are creating. The name inside the double quotes will be displayed in the boot menu when you boot your Windows.
In other words, if you know restart your system, you'll see the new No Driver Signature Check in the boot menu.
When copied, the entry is automatically given a new GUID identifier, so upon running the command above, you'll see the following line returned (you'll have an other GUID since these are unique identifiers):
The entry was successfully copied to {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}.
4. Make sure the entry has been successfully created.
Run the same bcdedit. (You may specify /enum or /v, or both /enum /v parameters at the prompt to get more detail about boot entries, but simple bcdedit is just enough to see the new entry):
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit

The entry has been created and given a unique a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240 ID. It now has exactly same boot settings as the boot entry we used to boot into current configuration of Windows.
5. Modify created No Driver Signature Check entry and specify that Windows must have driver integrity checks disabled when booted using this boot entry.
Any modifications to boot entries are made using /set parameter. To indicate that we modify a specific boot entry, we must specify the GUID for the No Driver Signature Check record, which is:
identifier {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
In other words, to edit (add or change) an option for the boot entry, we need to use the following command syntax:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set GUID <boot_option> [<option_value>]
First, we must specify that we don't want integrity checks be made. This is done by adding the loadoptions option and setting it to DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS value:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240} loadopti
ons DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
The operation completed successfully.
6. Verify that load option has been added.
Run the bcdedit command:

7. Add the option that turns on test signing mode and disables checks of driver signature.
Adding the testsigning option and setting it to ON does the trick for us:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240} TESTSIGNING ON
8. Now we have a boot entry that enables Windows not to do integrity checks and digital signature validation.
We check it by running bcdedit:

9. Type 'exit' without quotes to exit from command prompt, and restart Windows.
Upon booting you will be present with a new boot option to start Windows in configuration that allows you to install custom non-signed drivers.
Hope this will help anybody to create their own custom boot configurations.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

How does failover and load distribution work in Operations Manager resource pools?

Hello everyone,
I have a couple of questions in regard to failover and load distribution in resource pools.
What is the criteria for an x-plat or network device to initiate a failover?
How is load distributed in a resource pool - Is it round-robin, performance based or something completely different?
In case more than two management servers are in the same pool, and a management server becomes unavailable, how is load distributed among the remaining resource pool members?
Any help is appreciated.
Thx,
Claus

Hi,
Resource Pools are a collection of Health Services working together to manage instances assigned to the pool.
Workflows targeted to the instances are loaded by the Health Service in the Resource Pool that ends up managing that instance.
If one of the Health Services in the Resource pool were to fail, the other Health Services in the pool will pick up the work that the failed member was running.
And I would like to share this article with you. Hope it helps.

Create A Form That Has The Ability To Be Filled In

Hi, I'm new to PDF creation and what I am attempting to do is create a PDF that I can email to clients, have them fill it out and then email it back to me. Right now, I can create the PDF with no problem. What I am having a challenge with is creating a PDF that they can fill in the blanks and then send it back to me. What am I missing?
Thanks
Don

From what I read in your e-mail, you don't know where to start. The manual is the first place to hit (it is under the HELP). You have a choice of using AcroForms done directly in Acrobat. Just select the FORMS menu and then add form fields or such a menu item. You can also use Designer for creating forms (but can then no longer edit the PDF in Acrobat, only Designer). The tow methods have pros and cons, but I would suggest you start out with AcroForms.
Allowing for the form to be saved depends on the extent to which you expect it to be used. If the use will likely exceed 500 over time, then do not use this option. Simply create a button field that will allow for submission of the form and submit the form to a URL for processing (you will need help there) or a mailto:<mail address> with the pitfalls of the mailing. You should not include any private info, like credit cards if you use the email submission, and even with web submission without a secure server. I would suggest you have the form data submitted as a FDF data file (one of the selections in the submission setup). When you receive such a FDF file, simply open the PDF and then go to the form menu and import the data file. The result will be identical to what the customer had.
If this is confusing, sorry. It is best to start out creating a simple form and see if you can process it for yourself. Then go back and try to fix it with the desired form when you have a better idea where you are going.

How do I create an excel file that has the volume output and the time at which it occured?

Hello:
I am using Labview to control a New Era Pump Systems automatic syringe pump and to record diameter measurements from a LaserMike optical comparator. My program is fully functional, the code is attached with all auxilliary files in the NE-50X folder. I mostly understand my program, I used drivers for the NE-50X pump found on the NI website to build my code and added to it as needed.
If anyone has ideas about how to do any of these three things, your help is greatly appreciated. I have the output from the syringe pump going into a line graph while I run the test with the time on the x-axis and volume on the y-axis. How would I be able to create an excel file from this information? I would like the excel file to have the time in one column and the volume at that time in the next column. I though that I had wired it correctly, however I feel that the time seems to be a little off and very exact. Attached is the block diagram of what I have done.

Let me start by answering the specific question, and then I will provide some suggestions on the code.
The function you want is the "Write to Spreadsheet File", which you're already using, albeit in a confusing means (more later). I was not able to find any place in your code where you're actually acquiring time information, so I don't understand your comment about the time not being exact. (I'm assuming you mean "not", even though that word was not in your actual sentence.)
As for the code:
As I mentioned, you're using the "Write to Spreadsheet File" twice, as well as the "Write to Measurement File" Express VI. All three seem to be logging the same information, though one of the "Write to Spreadsheet File" functions is logging some sort of volume and diameter information. Please pick one.
You're looping around the path for one of the "Write to Spreadsheet File" functions, but not for the other two functions. Why are you looping the path in the first place?
You' re continuously accruing data into an array to put onto an XY Graph. Please keep in mind that this means the program will slow down as it progresses as this array gets larger and larger, and LabVIEW needs to shuffle memory around. Depending on how fragmented your memory is, you may find the program will crash since LabVIEW cannot allocate a large enough contiguous block of memory for the array.
Your wiring really needs to be cleaned up. Tip: Right-click on a wire and select "Clean Up Wire".
In the middle of the diagram you have a case structure in which the True part has a single iteration loop that's adding 1 to the iteration and updating some local variable, and in the False part you're doing something else with it. I have no idea what you're trying to do, but surely there must be a better way to do it.
You seem to have two tank indicators on top of each other on the front panel and then flipping the visibility of them based on some value. I would think that it would be easier to simply display both at the same time, no? As a user, I would find it somewhat perturbing to see the tanks appear and disappear.

How to create a ROLAP Cube that has two fact tables.

I want to know if it is possible to create a ROLAP Cube with two fact tables.
Suppose that I have these two star schemas:
The first star schema has only a measure and a time dimension. The time dimension has three levels (Year -> Month -> Day)
The second star schema has the same measure of the first schema and a time dimension. In this schema the time dimension has only two levels (Year -> Month). The values of the measure of this schema come from the first schema, this is, the value of the measure for a defined year and month results of the sum of all fact values of the first schema, that have the same year and month.
I want to know if is possible to create a ROLAP cube that can get the information of the two star schemas, according to the level that the user are consulting.
For example, if the user consults the cube with "OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In", and if the user is consulting the first two levels (Year and Month), then the ROLAP cube would get the information of the second star schema.
But if the user does a drill down in a month to get information of the days, then the ROLAP cube would get the information of the first star schema.
Is it possible to do this?
Regards,
Rui Torres

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do. Sorry if I get this wrong.
You have two fact tables, one with data values at the day, month and year levels and a second fact table with data values at just the month and year levels. If this is the case, in the CWM2 APIs or OWB Paris, you would create a view that joins the two tables together and then map this view to the ROLAP cube.
For CWM2 details, please refer to the Oracle OLAP Reference.

Create an Image Component that has a scale9Grid border

Hello, I want to start the process of creating a custom Image
Component that has a property of Scale9GridBorder, which upon
setting, will use Scale9Grid to create a frame around an image. I
was wondering if someone has any tips?
I'm familiar with custom components, all written in
Actionscript 3.0, and with the common createCHildren,
commitPorperties, measure, updateDisplayLIst mehtods that Ill have
to implement. I'm just not sure if classes like RectangleBorder,
etc. will be of help for me.
Maybe someone has already created a similar component?
Thanks,

I guess, where I'm getting stuck is trying to use scale9Grid
dynamically at runtime. Is this possible, or does scale9Grid only
work with embeded images? (I can't find any samples of runtime
setting a background image and then setting the innerRectangle of
scale9Grid.

Creating a brochure/booklet that has one page that folds out?

Hello,
I am trying to use Indesign for the first time, I have created a travel brochure that is around 30 pages (3.75" * 8.375")
anyway I need one of the pages to fold out so the final unfolded page would be 3.75 * 3, with print on front and bak... how?
Thank you,

Your example is missing....
You have to ways:
1. Create separate file for cover and make it dfferent size. That´s actually good way if you use different paper for cover, thicker or glossier etc. Because then your printhouse has to print it separately anyway.
2. Use so called "Island Spread" which means create extra pages for your foldout (one for both sides), uncheck Allow Documents Pages to Shuffle from Pages panels menu and drag your 1. foldpagethumbnail in Pages panel to coverpage´s thumbnail so it docs to it. Do the same thing for your second foldpagethumbnail/backcoverpages thumbnail...

I can configure the wireless network using the IPCU but cannot set the proxy server settings.
I'm sure that this is simple but just can't work it out!

IPCU does not currently allow entry of proxy server settings. This must be done, from the device, for each wi-fi network. It would be great if it did.....
