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.

Solved!
Go to Solution.
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

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
Solved!
Go to Solution.(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. -
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,
ScottPerformance 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 -
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 everyonethey 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.

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.

Powerpivot data connection will not save the password
I'm trying to create a Powerpivot workbook with data that users can refresh themselves before analysis. We don't have Powerpivot data refresh in Sharepoint active, so I can't make use of that service.
When I create a Powerpivot data connection to SQL server using SQL Server Authentication (unchanging read-only username and password), and checking the box to save the password, the connection works fine for refreshing the data as long as I leave the workbook
open.
If I close the file and re-open it, the password is gone from the data connection and the user cannot refresh the data.
I've tried configuring the data connection with the SQL native client provider and the SQL OLEDB provider and I see exactly the same results.
The connection string gets built with Persist Security Info=True and the Password shows up as hidden text (dots). It stays this way through refreshes as long as the workbook is open. However, once I close the file and re-open it, the
connection string no longer has the Password parameter listed at all, not even as hidden text. Persist Security Info is still there and set to True. As might be expected, the connection string does not have the information needed to access the
SQL Server instance.
This type of connection string using SQL Server Authentication still works fine with the password saved when used directly as an Excel data connection, or when used as a data source in Reporting Services. It's only Powerpivot where the password gets
blown away.
Is there a workaround for this issue?Thanks Jaynet.
Unfortunately, the procedure described in the link you provided does not work for PowerPivot, at least in Excel 2010.
If I create the PowerPivot data connection using "From Database/From SQL Server" there is no option to "Allow saving password". There is only the checkbox to "Save my password". There is an "Advanced" button that allows you to set many additional
properties of the data connection, but there is nothing like allow saving password.
If I create the PowerPivot data connection using "From Other Sources/Others (OLEDB/ODBC)" and then click the "Build" button, I get a dialog that is pretty close to the one in your link. For the Provider tab, I can choose either the Microsoft OLE DB
Provider for SQL Server or the SQL Server Native Client 10.0. In the connection tab I do have the "Allow saving password" checkbox. I check this and complete the rest of the data connection configuration. After I save the file with this data
connection and then re-open it, the data will not refresh. If I edit the existing connection from the PowerPivot design tab, the Password parameter is completely missing from the connection string. If I go back into the connection string builder,
there is nothing in the password field (not even dots) and allow saving password is no longer checked.
I've even tried creating my own connection string in Notepad and pasting it into the connection string box (definitely including Persist Security Info=True). This does not work either and PowerPivot erases the entire Password parameter just the same
as if I had used the builder and checked Allow saving password.
I'm beginning to think that the previous poster, David Hager, has it right. This may be a bug introduced with the latest version of PowerPivot. If there is no workaround, it is a total pain for me.

After I updated my Ipad2 to IOS5 my calendar lost all appointments. After re-entering a couple of appointments it froze. After getting it going again, the calendar will not populate an end date for the current day and consequently I can't save the appointment. Is this a common problem as I have just purchased this ipad and the calendar function is very important to me.
Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/

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

Hello,
I have to load data from a csv file to SQL Database. The file is placed into a directory by another program but the file name being same, has different extensions based on time of the day that it is placed in the directory. Since I know the file name
ahead of time, so, I want to strip off the date/time extension from the file name so that I can load the file using Flat File Connection Manager. I am trying to use 'variable' and 'expression editor' so that I can specify the file name dynamically. But I
don't know how to write it correctly. I have a variable 'FileLocation' that holds the folder location where the file will be placed. The file for example: MyFileName201410231230 (MyFileName always the same, but the date/time will be different)
Thanks,
jkrishI don't want to use ForEach Loop because the files are placed by a FTP process 3 times a day at a specific time, for ex. at 10 AM, 12 PM and 3 PM. These times are pretty much fixed. The file name is same but the extension will have this day time stamp. I
have to load each file only once for a particular reason, meaning I don't want to load the ones I already loaded. I am planning on setting up the SSIS process to load at 10:05, 12:05 and 3:05 daily. The files will be piling up in the folder. As it comes,
I load them. At some point in time, I can remove the old ones so that they won't take up space in the server. In fact, I don't have to keep the old ones at all since they are saved in a different folder anyways. I can ask the FTP process to
remove the previous one when the new one arrives. So, at any point in time, there will be one file, but that file will have different extensions every time.
I am thinking of removing the extensions before I load every time. If the file name is 'MyFileNamexxxxxxx.csv', then I want to change it to 'MyFileName.csv' and load it.
Thanks,
jkrish
You WILL need to use it eventually because you need to iterate over each file.
Renaming is unnecessary as one way or another you will need to put a processed file away.
And having the file with the original extension intact will also help you troubleshoot.

Extensions like Ghostery, WOT or AdBlock stop working after two or three times. Restarting the webpage in a new tab the extensions will work again for several times and then stop again. Has anybody an explanation or a workaround for this bug in Safari 5?
Remove the extensions, redownload Safari, reload the extensions.

have family plan with 250 data which I almost use each month. Going on vacation and will be on the road for two weeks. Should I up my data for a month then change back. Is it worth it or should I just run over and pay the extra 15 per gig?
Hello mlazaretti. Vacation time is awesome. (Especially a road trip!) Since you will be going out for two weeks, you never know if having extra data may come in handy. I highly recommend switching to the next tier up so this way you have more data. This way it is only $10.00 more versus $15.00, and you dont have to worry about overages. Then change back at the start of the next billing cycle.
If you need help making this change let us know! Have a safe trip!

Hi 1st time asking a ?. Like my ? above. I have been using firefox for a long time and never had a problem that's why its my !st time asking a ?'s here. I'm using windows 8.1 Lenovo laptop and this has just started 4 days ago. I shut down firefox and the next day I started laptop and opened firefox and I noticed every extension I had set up were all gone from browser and the get extensions page were all gone in the get more extensions add on page area. So I re added all of them to set up the browser the way I liked for years and it worked OK. Then when I re-started the computer and they were all gone again? Its driving me crazy why this is happening. And I do have the latest firefox. I even uninstalled browser and re add them all Ext's and then on next start up were all gone again.
And the reason its my 1st time asking a ?'s is because to help others, I am a 56 year old & I'm a 100% disabled army Vet. and I don't know enough about fixing my own computer problems to help any 1 else asking to help them fix any thing.
OH theres 1 more thing, every time I have to re-install the Ext's and when I turn off laptop and turn back on then re add the Ext's again I noticed in Ccleaner in the firefox tab all of the Ext's that are gone from the browser are all there and I can not delete them either in Ccleaner! Please explain in easy to follow steps how to fix this so I can use firefox again? Thanks for any and all help?It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

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

Library Duplicated
I just updated to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not work, because every track is listed as added on 12/12/2011 even though this happened today 12/19/2011.I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates.
