  • Creating Google+ profile has changed a Google Apps for Business email name

    - by inbanco
    We use Google Apps for business for email, docs etc. For one account [email protected] I setup a Google+ profile but didn't realise it would change the name of the email account Was: From email name: "Sydney Branch" Email address: [email protected] Now: From email name: "John Smith" Email address: [email protected] I'd like to change it back. The name hasn't changed though in the Google Apps domain management email section though, so i don't know what's going on and don't want to lose that email address/account through suspension. I couldn't care less about losing Google+, i'm happy to remove that profile, but would it revert the name?

  • SQL SERVER – Planned and Unplanned Availablity Group Failovers – Notes from the Field #031

    - by Pinal Dave
    [Note from Pinal]: This is a new episode of Notes from the Fields series. AlwaysOn is a very complex subject and not everyone knows many things about this. The matter of the fact is there is very little information available on this subject online and not everyone knows everything about this. This is why when a very common question related to AlwaysOn comes, people get confused. In this episode of the Notes from the Field series database expert John Sterrett (Group Principal at Linchpin People) explains a very common issue DBAs and Developer faces in their career and is related to Planned and Unplanned Availablity Group Failovers. Linchpin People are database coaches and wellness experts for a data driven world. Read the experience of John in his own words. Whenever a disaster occurs it will be a stressful scenario regardless of how small or big the disaster is. This gets multiplied when it is your first time working with newer technology or the first time you are going through a disaster without a proper run book. Today, were going to help you establish a run book for creating a planned failover with availability groups. To make today’s session simple were going to have two instances of SQL Server 2012 included in an availability group and walk through the steps of doing an unplanned failover.  We will focus on using the user interface and T-SQL to complete the failovers. We are going to use a two replica Availability Group where each replica is in another location. Therefore, we will be covering Asynchronous (non automatic failover) the following is a breakdown of our availability group utilized today. Seeing the following screen might be scary the first time you come across an unplanned failover.  It looks like our test database used in this Availability Group is not functional and it currently isn’t. The database status is not synchronizing which makes sense because the primary replica went down so it couldn’t synchronize. With that said, we can still failover and make it functional while we troubleshoot why we lost our primary replica. To start we are going to right click on the availability group that needs to be restarted and select failover. This will bring up the following wizard, which will walk you through several steps needed to complete the failover using the graphical user interface provided with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). You are going to see warning messages simply because we are in Asynchronous commit mode and can not guarantee ‘no data loss’ when we do failover. Just incase you missed it; you get another screen warning you about potential data loss because we are in Asynchronous mode. Next we get to connect to the specific replica we want to become the primary replica after the failover occurs. In our case, we only have two replicas so this is trivial. In order to failover, it’s required to connect to the replica that will become primary.  The following screen shows that the connection has been made successfully. Next, you will see the final summary screen. Once again, this reminds you that the failover action will cause data loss as were using Asynchronous commit mode due to the distance between instances used for disaster recovery. Finally, once the failover is completed you will see the following screen. If you followed along this long you might be wondering what T-SQL scripts are generated for clicking through all the sections of the wizard. If you have used Database Mirroring in the past you might be surprised.  It’s not too different, which makes sense because the data is being replicated via SQL Server endpoints just like the good old database mirroring. Now were going to take a look at how to do a failover with just T-SQL. First, were going to need to open a new query window and run our query in SQLCMD mode. Just incase you haven’t used SQLCMD mode before we will show you how to enable it below. Now you can run the following statement. Notice, we connect to the replica we want to become primary after failover and specify to force failover to allow data loss. We can use the following script to failback over when our primary instance comes back online. -- YOU MUST EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING SCRIPT IN SQLCMD MODE. :Connect SQL2012PROD1 ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [AGSQL2] FORCE_FAILOVER_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS; GO Are your servers running at optimal speed or are you facing any SQL Server Performance Problems? If you want to get started with the help of experts read more over here: Fix Your SQL Server.

  • KISS and Tell - MVVM and the ViewModelLocator

    - by Bobby Diaz
    A popular topic that comes up when talking about MVVM is the use of a ViewModelLocator and the many different ways one can be implemented.  Rather than getting into the pros and cons on when or why you should use it, I decided I would just post my version of a simple ViewModelLocator and let those who like it use it, and those who don’t, well you know…  :) First, a disclaimer.  I have not used this code in a production application, it is just something I was tossing around while reading others’ posts on the subject. 1. MainView.xaml   2. MainViewModel.cs 3. ViewModelLocator.cs   I have a codepaste of the ViewModelLocator.cs file if you are interested but don’t feel like re-typing the 50 lines of code! Enjoy!

    OK..So John Papa, Nasir Aziz and myself are trying to help Victor Gaudioso figure out why he can’t see the ADO.NET Entity Data Model template in Visual Studio 2010.

Nope..Vic was also using VS2010 Ultimate. Believe me Vic is a Silverlight and WPF genius and knows his way around in VS. He was working with the latest...(read more)

  • Estudio de caso: CFO de At&T le apunta a la tecnología para transformar las Finanzas Globales

    - by RED League Heroes-Oracle
    AT&T es una de las pocas multinacionales modernas que han participado de todas las etapas anteriores de la innovación de las telecomunicaciones, de Alexander Graham Bell como inventor solitario, a Bell Labs, a los lanzamientos acelerados en las fundiciones de AT&T. La tecnología es el corazón de todo lo que AT&T hace, incluyendo sus inversiones en innovaciones tecnológicas para permitir que las finanzas de AT&T trabajen más estratégicamente con los negocios para asegurar que las inversiones en las iniciativas de crecimiento sean exitosas. Según John Stephens, Vicepresidente Ejecutivo y director financiero de AT&T, la empresa ha trazado un plan de inversión de tres años para mejorar y aumentar sus redes IP de banda ancha alámbricas e inalámbricas. El plan incluye la implementación del servicio 4G LTE para 300 millones de personas en los Estados Unidos, expansión de IP de banda ancha de alta velocidad a unos 57 millones de hogares de clientes y una expansión de la fibra a 1 millón de clientes corporativos adicionales en su área de servicio de telefonía fija. "La necesidad de velocidad es mayor que nunca, y este proyecto es nuestro paso hacia la innovación para ofrecer tal velocidad," dice Stephens. Como AT&T moderniza su infraestructura global, sus procesos operacionales se hacen tan poderosos como su red. Ha sido una tarea grande y compleja, pero Stephens se complace al decir que el departamento de finanzas de AT&T ha adoptado su papel de catalizador corporativo. Empezó con un concepto simple: "Vamos a hacer que todos hablen en el mismo idioma". Esto llevó a la consolidación de sistemas financieros heredados de las empresas adquiridas. No fue una tarea sencilla, dado que la empresa pasó por más de cinco adquisiciones importantes y un sinfín de otras transacciones. En 2007, AT&T tenía 17 aplicaciones apenas en la función de cuentas por pagar. Hoy, el número se ha reducido a dos. Asimismo, hubo 50 sistemas de reportes gerenciales oficiales y ahora hay tres, con planes de excluir uno de ellos. Al tener un único lenguaje volcado a las Finanzas en toda la empresa, el equipo de finanzas de AT&T ha eliminado las varias versiones de los mismos datos, reduciendo la posible confusión en las discusiones y en las decisiones de estrategia de negocios. Estos pasos también han reducido los costos y aceleraron la toma de decisiones. "Lo lindo de los sistemas es que permiten que la gente talentosa con habilidades analíticas usen su tiempo en esa zona, en vez de gastar tiempo en recolección, agregación y organización de los datos," señala Stephens. "Tenemos un proceso eficiente y eficaz que hace que nosotros, dejemos a la gente libre para dedicarse a aquello en que son realmente buenos. Y tenemos un equipo de alta calidad y ellos están en su mejor punto cuando son capaces de hacer su función para apoyar a la unidad de negocio”AT&T es una de las pocas multinacionales modernas que han participado de todas las etapas anteriores de la innovación de las telecomunicaciones, de Alexander Graham Bell como inventor solitario, a Bell Labs, a los lanzamientos acelerados en las fundiciones de AT&T.

  • Orlando .NET Code Camp 2012 - total success..

    - by mrad
    Their site is www.orlandocodecamp.comThis year's camp was held at Seminole State College.It was well worth it.. Took a chance at going.. by getting up at 5am and driving from Jax to Sanford for 2+hr..Run into some old friends and bunch of new ones. Coders are not really good at networking.. but they sure did show up.. attendance was solid 500+ geeks and some sessions were standing room only. MVP John Papa had the room packed out on his every session. Really enjoyed great and inspiring WP7 presentations by MVP Atley Hunter from Canada.. And of course the MVP legend Joe Healy was everywhere encouraging and promoting cool stuff, hopefully we'll get him back to present at JaxDUG and/or bring back Microsoft workshops to Jax area.
