Corporate ERP of the Next decade: Microsoft/Unix/Java – Coexistence & Harmony?

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:07:12 +0000

While in 1990th we saw very fierce fighting between Microsoft Windows and Apple Computer PowerMac for the workstations market, when two systems were practically not compatible and didn’t have plans to understand each other, plus all the blends of Unix/Linux were trying to step in and take workstation market over, the next decade in our opinion will be the decade of coexistence, integration, cross-platform heterogeneous data distribution and querying. Good example would be this – imagine you are freight forwarder and your company has Microsoft Business Solutions Great Plains implemented as accounting and partly distribution application and on the other hand you have Oracle based cargo delivery / tracking system. You do not have to phase out one or the other – you make them coexist: if you need Great Plains user to lookup shipment status – you use heterogeneous query from MS SQL Server (Great Plains) to Oracle via linked server and have instant result set on the screen. Similar heterogeneous query you can have from Oracle side to MS SQL Server. Let’s look at the trends:

o XML – is platform independent way to communicate: transfer inbound/outbound streams of data. This is the sign of future coexistence and it is very simple in reading and understanding by human being

o IT Budget. Evolution versus Revolution: the old days of restructuring your company business operation around new computer system are probably over. Nowadays IT budget is pretty limited and corporate management considers IT as regular (not elite) internal services department. So – you, as IT manager or director has limited resources to revolutionize the company, so you follow the step-by-step evolution

o The sunset of proprietary languages. Good example is Great Plains Dexterity – this is the core of recent Microsoft Great Plains, former Great Plains Dynamics. Dexterity had the history of evolution, and now it is using SQL Stored procs to do the majority of database querying and updating, Microsoft plans to phase it slowly out and replace with the future .Net language of choice (not sure which one will win: C# or VB.Net – but this is not important at this moment). In the close future SQL with XML inbound/outbound will be the language of integrations

o The end of heavy custom programming. At least in the US – majority of the project will be outsourced. In the USA we will be mostly dealing with project management and specifications writing, plus physical hardware support. Even if you are dealing with, say Microsoft Business Solutions partner in San Francisco – partner itself will be using either overseas facility or simply contractors over there. When the majority of us will become project managers, thinking about business logic, not the way of realizing it in the code – we will stop heating the opposite platform -no more Microsoft VB.Net programmer hatred toward Java/EJB/J2EE programmer

We are already doing cross platform integrations from Microsoft Business Solutions products: Microsoft CRM, Great Plains to Oracle, DB2, Lotus and other databases, plus Microsoft CRM email messaging through Lotus Domino to begin realize the strategy

How can I manually change my play count for iTunes with Windows?

I need a safe and easy way to manually change my play count for some of my songs in iTunes. I have tried a lot of things while searching google, such as Library.xml file stuff and .js file stuff. I need to find another way. I have Windows, so no Mac stuff will work obviously.

Blu-Ray Discs – What’s New With Subtitling & Closed Captioning For Blu-Ray?

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:09:11 +0000

Since Blu-ray is now accepted (for the most part) as the new HD disc format standard, many questions have come up about closed-captioning and subtitling for Blu-ray Disc (also referred to as BD). First off, to get the record straight, Blu-ray does not support closed captioning. This is for a very logical reason: Subtitles can be turned on and off through the disc’s menu (just like an SD DVD), therefore there is no need to add the closed captioning option. Consequently, BD does not carry Line 21 due to its High-Definition Multimedia Interface specs (HDMI). These specs were designed to displace the older digital and analog standards.

Converting SD captions to HD subtitles

You have a DVD or any other standard def video that you are putting on Blu-ray Disc. The SD version already contains closed captioning and you don’t want to have to pay or take the time to get it subtitled all over again. Don’t worry, there is a solution. Your closed captioning company (like Aberdeen!) can convert your old caption files to Blu-ray compatible subtitles for your authoring system. Depending on how it was captioned there may need to be some reformatting.

Some Cool “Blu-ray” Features

The really nifty thing about Blu-ray subtitles as opposed to normal SD subtitles is that multiple layers can be created. SD subtitles must have the same font type, font size and color throughout the entire program. With BD (and with the right service provider with this capability), you can add up to six different colors, fonts, and sizes. For example, to subtitle on-screen signs, you can subtitle them in the same font, color, and size that is different from the dialogue. Maybe you want each character to speak in a different font and/or color. This could help in the area of speaker identification. It’s now possible to have all your sound effects stand out from dialogue as well. The options are endless. If you want them to, HD subtitles can turn your boring subtitles from straight text on the screen, to an artful masterpiece.

Files Type for Subtitling for Blu-ray

The file type used for Blu-ray subtitles is an xml based textual format along with pictures (jpg) of each subtitle, similar to the type of files that are sent to DVD authoring systems. The xml file is considered the directory file that tells each subtitle picture when and where to be placed.

Microsoft Exchange Implementation & Configuration

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:09:05 +0000

Because of the complexity of Microsoft Exchange Server management and administration, many companies want to consolidate thousands of Exchange users on one server. As a deployment grows, its increasing number of servers can make administrative tasks such as adding, moving, and deleting users extremely time-consuming for Exchange administrators. Administrators must use a combination of applications to administer and manage the Exchange environment, which makes administration of large implementations more difficult. Future versions of Exchange Server will simplify some of these management and administrative tasks and will enable administrators to perform all Exchange administrative tasks through one application. However, for now, Exchange Server’s diversity of tasks and tools leads many companies to want to consolidate as many users as possible on each Exchange Server machine.

Microsoft has been using the Security Development Life cycle (SDL) across its product lines for several years now, and we’ve seen an across-the-board improvement in product security as a result. As a security practitioner, this situation makes me happy indeed, but as an Exchange Server administrator, I want functional improvements to the product as well. Given that Microsoft is already actively working on the next version of Exchange, I wanted to set down a few things I’d like to see in the Exchange Server of the future.

Keep in mind that for every feature we get, there are other features that don’t make the cut. Even with the company’s massive resources behind them, Microsoft’s developers have constraints that prevent them from adding every desired feature while still meeting their schedules and deadlines. That said, here are a few items from my wish list for the next Exchange release.

Let’s start with a relatively easy one: The next version of Exchange should include full support for Outlook Web Access’ premium mode in Firefox and Safari. Multiple-browser support is an important check box for the education market (where you’re likely to find more people using non-Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers), but it’s also something that I would expect to see from the company that pioneered the commercial use of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) in Web applications–not to mention that Microsoft Office Communicator Web Access and all of IBM’s Lotus products already fully support these browsers.

How about certificates? Microsoft Exchange Server has a Certificate Wizard that helps you get the right set of machine names and subject alternative names in your certificate requests. Now that the OCS and Exchange product lines are part of the same business unit within Microsoft, perhaps the two teams could collaborate to produce a single certificate tool that collects all the necessary parameters for certificate requests? Network security and Exchange administrators everywhere would greatly appreciate and benefit from such a feature.

I’ve heard many requests for running Exchange services on Windows Server Core, the bare bones install option with Windows Server 2008; the obstacle here is that the current version of Windows Power Shell won’t run on Server Core. The Windows or Power Shell teams might address this problem on their own; personally, I’d rather they spent their engineering efforts on giving us complete support for running Exchange under Hyper-V.

Filemaker & XML

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:18:04 +0000

Introduction

We can exchange information and messages between two computers,which uses XML data sent over the web via Http.But why xml? The reason is xml is faster,is a standard and well documented.

REQUESTING XML DATA FROM FILEMAKER PRO

Syntax:

xyz.com:591/FMPro?-db=myDB.fp5&-format=-fmp_xml&-max=all&-find

The above syntax specifies the protocol that is needed to communicate with the server. When we need to use FileMaker Pro over the Web, the protocol has to be http, the hypertext transfer protocol.

Let us now discuss the parts in detail:

the host: xyz.com

This describes the name or IP address of the server on which FileMaker Pro is running on.

the port: 591

Normally HTTP servers run on port 80. However if FileMaker Pro is sharing a machine with another web server say Apache or WebStar, then in that case you have to choose a different port.

the file path: /FMPro

This tells the server which file to serve.When using the FileMaker Web Companion as your server to serve XML,this is always /FMPro.

the query string: -db=myDB.fp5&-format=-fmp_xml&-max=all&-find

CHOOSING A FILEMAKER PRO XML GRAMMAR

So there are three different XML vocabularies.

These are:

o The FMPDSORESULT grammar

o The FMPXMLRESULT grammar

o The FMPXMLLAYOUT grammar

From the main menu file you can choose file-> export records->choose xml grammar-> export choose file-> import records->select file->import

XML export does not support exporting container field data.

FileMaker Pro can export XML in two grammars: FMPXMLRESULT and FMPDSORESULT.

The following is an example of XML in the FMPDSORESULT grammar.

The FMPDSORESULT grammar

This grammer is obsolete and hence not used. The better term is deprecated means the designer of the grammar is discouraging you to use xml grammar.

FMPXMLRESULT grammar

The FMPXMLRESULT grammar contains additional information about the database that is not in the
FMPDSORESULT grammar, such as the number of records, field types, and field formats.

FMPXMLLAYOUT – A GRAMMAR FOR LAYOUTS

FMPXMLLAYOUT is the third and final XML grammar that FileMaker Pro supports.

While both FMPDSORESULT and FMPXMLRESULT focus on the data in the database, FMPXMLLAYOUT describes the layout of the fields.

Conclusion

This article provides a better insight into the integration of xml in Filemaker.

What is a good crash course style emersion into programming languages?

xml guru — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:23:33 +0000

I have a good grasp of HTML and a beginners grasp of CSS. I need to develop my languages over the summer. Specifically I might need to have a better grasp of HTML and CSS, completely learn .xml from scratch, maybe perl or python or other such languages. I am going to get a few books and try to learn that way, but I was wondering if an online class might work better? Any tips?
