WebAnalyticsServiceApplication_ReportingDB log file and secondary DB files issue

Hello everyone,
So we have a problem, a customer has a SP2010 farm, SP on one server and SQL 2008r2 on another. Little (read none by the looks of things) maintenance has been applied to the server (both SQL and SP other than patching and windows backups) over nearly a year
and we are here now to upgrade to SQL 2012, found the current state and the situation is as follows (up-to now):
The SP install was done from the search server binaries to give better search options (thought this may be prudent to disclose)
The WebAnalyticsServiceApplication_ReportingDB log file is HUGE and will not truncate, Ive done the following:
backed up (full) the DB for web analytics
backed up log files for same DB (with truncate selected) (both through gui in SQL MS)
Tried to shrink log file (this told me through the gui that 99% was free in the log file, but it freed up only 1%, even after trying again and selecting 'reorganise pages before releasing unused space' and selecting 0MB for the 'shrink to' size)
Also, there are over 30 secondary DB files for this database, Ive seen other threads about these files but am stuck as how to do the following...
no one uses the web analytics
the data is not needed
I understand it maybe needed in the future
we do not need the data
how should I get rid and stop future log file and secondary DB file growth?
Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

For reference, you can control how long SP keeps the Web analytics data (which does generate one extra .ndf per week).
To set the limit on the data retention period:
On the Central Administration Web site, in the Application Management section, click
Manage service applications.
Click the Web Analytics Service Application row to select it and in the
Operations group of the ribbon click Properties.
In the dialog box, in the Data Retention Period section, set the data retention period, which can range from 1 month to 25 months.

I write digital port by 'DAQmx Configure Logging.vi' and receive TDMS file with 8 boolean channels. How can I write to 1 integer channel?

Hello!
I want to write 1 digital port from PXI-6536 with streaming to TDMS file.
I'm writing by 'DAQmx Configure Logging.vi' and become TDMS file with 8 boolean channels.
How can I write to 1integer channel?

Hey Atrina,
The actual data stored on disk is just the raw data (that is, a byte per sample in your case). It's really just a matter of how that data is being represented in LabVIEW whenever you read back the TDMS file.
I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this, but here is a way to accomplish what you're wanting:
Read back the TDMS file as a digital waveform. Then there's a conversion function in LabVIEW called DWDT Digital to Binary. This function will convert that set of digital channels into the "port format" that you're wanting. I've attached an example of what I mean.
Note: When looking at this VI, there are a few things that the downgrade process did to the VI that I would not recommend for these TDMS files. It added a 1.0 constant on the TDMS Open function, and it set "disable buffering" on the TDMS Open function to false; you can get rid of both of those constants.

Part 2: Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?

I will appreciate some clarification on the some points made in response to my previous post "Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?"
1.
" ...youd better analyze those cubes for data redundancy and presence of data youll never use. " I will appreciate some clarification on the type of analysis you are referring to. Examples will help.
2.
"If you want to combine several found IOs in your custom dataprovider, then again you must know (or figure out) relationships between these IOs." I will appreciate some clarification on the type of relationship you are referring to. Examples will help.
3.
I am a bit confused with "..include into ODS structure ALL fields required for the cube" but you also noted noted that "...except navigational attributes and chars and KFs that are going to be determined in TRs or URs."
If you exclude ALL these, haven't you excluded all the fields you included in the ODS structure?
4.
"Consider carefully the ODS key fields selection. Their combination should not allow data aggregation that you dont need."
I may be missing the point here, I understand that you need to select the fields which will form the unique ID for the records in the ODS under the Key Field (please correct me if I am wrong with the purpose of the Key Field), but I don't understand the discussion of "aggregation" in the context.
Thanks in advance

Hallo
I try to give some exaplanation based on the previous answer.
1. Data redundancy - make sure you do not store the same information. does not make sense to have data redundanty across you Data Warehouse. this is also a cost. just sotre the same information one time if you get all what you need.
2. whatwhever you build you dp, which consist of IO, you need to know with kind of relation (1:1 or 1:n - n:n and so on) exist between them. that will help you when you model you infoprovider. For example I would never pit togheter IO (n:m) in the same dimension if you expect an high number of cardinality. Sometime an IO can be an attribute of another one (depend on relation. For example
Business Partner and his Address. Usually you have a relation 1:1, in this case address is an attribute of BParten and store it in the Masterdata instead then DP
3. Sometime when you load from ODS to CUBE, you can fill some IO (which are in the infocube and not in the ODS)through ABAP routine in TR-Start Routine of Update Rule. Does not make sense to include these IO in the ODS as they are NULL or Blank (the deault value). This can happen when for example, you first load in the ODS (Price and Quantity) and then you calculate Sell price later (Price * Quantity). of course it could be doen also in the Bex. Depends on other factors (Performance - Loaidng -Sizing)
4. Make sure that the KEY definition of ODS is accordingly to the data otherwise you will aggregate the data and later maybe if you need the detail you miss it.
for example: customer - product - Distr Chan - Sell Price
if each Customer can buy each product for any Distrution Channel, then when you build your ODS(Customer - Product and Distribution must be KEY) otherwise (if you have only Customer - Product KEY for example) you will lose the details for Distribution Channel.
I hope eveyrhting is clear

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Hi, I upgraded to OX X Mountain Lion, and now I can't upload any pictures from iphoto/desktop to email, etc. After I choose my file and hit "attach file" to upload, it says: "Invalid File Specified". I am using jpg, so I'm confused. Any suggestions?

I converted aif files to mp3 files in I tunes so I could put them on a flash drive. Now when I transfer an album to the flash drive I get both the aif files and the mp3 files in the flash drive. How do I get the iTunes to only copy the smaller file?

My suggestion to use the smart playlist was more along the lines of making one list with rules to show everything in your library as long as it was kind "mpeg" (= mp3).
Smart playlists cannot be edited manually, only by changing the rules. You can use them as the basis for another smart playlist though.
There is added overhead to using smart playlists, so don't go overboard.

VBScript to read the content of a .csv file and delete old files mentioned in the .csv

I have a Windows 2003 file server.
I have generated a report in .csv format, about the files which are older than 1 year.
I need a VBScript to read the .csv file and delete the files which are enlisted there.
Can someone please help me with this?

Look into the "Learn" link above. There are resources and instructions on how to write VBScript code. Look into how to use the FileSystemObject.

PDF file and Microsoft Word files

I love all the big improvements apple is making to their product lines. But I am a practical person who needs to open pdf. files and Microsoft Word files on the go. That is why I will still pick a Treo, Dash, and any other pda over the Iphone. When is apple going to make a real war against PDA's and produce these kinds of software? This would make the Iphone the ultimate phone.

Actually you CAN store them on your phone -- you need to download the free program FileMarkMaker (Its in versiontracker for mac, don't know if it is available for PC users)
It allows you to attach any PDF within a URL address and save it as a bookmark, and sync it to your iPhone. You can then read it anytime (you don't need an internet connection) by going to the name of the link you created for the file in Safari. Works perfectly -- I have everything from Maps of the subway stations for the cities I visit to manuals and documents on it.
Just one caveat -- you can't search or use other features from within that Safari page - it will just crash the safari application -- you need to change to a blank safari page before you can use google or other safari features.

Zip files and Adobe Acrobat files

Hello all,
I have a couple of kinda distinct questions that I wanted to ask. I hope I've chosen the right sub-forum to post them in. My questions are
1) when I try to unzip a .zip file in my Documents folder I get the following error message
"Archive Utility - unable to unarchive "CdnEnergy.zip" into "Documents". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)"
ditto if I move it to the Desktop and try there. This doesn't seem to be a 'space' problem as my computer is very new and I haven't loaded it up with lots of stuff. I have unzipped this file before (admittedly not on a Mac).
2) How can I set Adobe Acrobat to be the default application for .pdf files so that when I click on a pdf file it's opened by Adobe Reader rather than the Mac Viewer? I know I can select Adobe with a Ctrl+click, but can I set it so that it's always the default?
Thanks very much for your help,
Eoghan

Welcome to the Discussions!
The first problem is not obvious, but I would suggest using Disk Utility to repair permissions. Also, you could download the free Stuffit Expander to have an alternate unzip program.
The second problem is easy. In the Finder, select a pdf file and then select File->Get Info. In the window that appears, select the Acrobat as the Open With application and select the option to always use this application.

Burn music files and a pdf file?

Is it possible to burn some music files and a pdf file on the same CD using iTunes? If not, maybe using some other software?

iTunes can only burn files that are in its library, so forget about PDFs.
Yes it can be done with other programs, using a data (not audio) CD format.

In principle you can't. LabVIEW does not support Unicode (yet)! When it will officially support that is a question that I can't answer since I don't know it and as far as I know NI doesn't want to answer.
So the real question you have to ask first is where and why do you want to read and write Unicode file. And what type of Unicode? Unicode is definitly not just Unicode as Windows has a different notion of Unicode (16 Bit characters) than Unix has (32 Bit characters). The 16 Bit Unicode from Windows is able to cover most languages on this globe but definitly not all without code expansion techniques.
If you want to do this on Windows and have decided that there is no other way to do what you want you will probably have to access the WideCharToMultiByte() and MultibyteToWideChar() Windows APIs using the Call Library Node in order to convert between 8 bit multybyte strings as used in LabVIEW and the Unicode format necessary in your file.

How to read multiple files and generate multiple files

Dear all, I would like to process some LTE measurement files. Currently I can only load a single file and process the data and save it to a single binary file. Since I would like to run the code continously, could someone show me how I can modify the code to load multiple files and specify multiple files to save the process the data please? I have attached the code to the question. Many thanks for your help.

What you could do is use "list folder" with *.bin as pattern, and use a FOR loop and iterate over all *.bin files found in a selected folder.
In any case, your code uses some weird constructs and you seem to do way to much. Are you using "continuous run" mode? Don't!
Use a proper state machine instead ot these stalling loops. Why do you need to query the queue after each enqueue? Why do you need a queue at all?

.xml file and iTunes library files are missing from the music folder

I recently made a second itunes library on my external hd, today when I open itunes and choose this library, the .xml file and itunes music file are invisible or translucent, therefore I can't open my library. But when I go to my music folder they are missing. Another odd thing is that all my music is still in the folder. Is there a way to re-open my library w/o re-importing all my music? Can I some how get a new itunes library file?
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This is not an answer but I have the same problem. From time to time I clone my music drive to an external drive for back up. When I do, I burn a copy of the album artwork folder, iTunes Music folder, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Libraru.xml, and iTunes Library file to CDRW. This is so I can copy them into the music folder in my user home drive of my laptop then hook up the external and have access my library. Trouble is the .xml file and iTunes library files don't always show up when I go to the iTunes folder in my Music folder. There either is a blank where they should be or the names appear with no icon and when I click to select, that dissappers too. I thought I had a solve by exiting iTunes and letting it save everything. It seems to bring the .xml file back but not the itunes Library file. Any thoughts?
