VMware Manages Release Lifecycle
Excerpt from
www.entmag.com/news
Virtualization pioneer VMware has released
the public beta of its new deployment
management product, VMware Stage Manager.
the application is based on the company's
flagship virtualization platform, VMware
infrastructure 3 (1).
Stage Manager is designed to allow IT to
visualize, manage, and automate the process
of bringing new applications and services
into production.
The solution is similar to VMware's Lab
Manager, a test-lab automation suite for
developers. However, Stage Manager is aimed
at the enterprise IT teams responsible for
preproduction infrastructure and process, as
described by Melinda Wilken, VMware's senior
marketing director.

SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) and BI
|
SQL Server 2005 includes a component called SQL Server Integration Service
(SSIS) which replaces Data Transformation Services (DTS). A must for people
who need to implement data extract, transform, and load (ETL) solutions.
Beyond just traditional ETL needs, this tool provides out-of-the-box
solutions for maintenance of SQL databases, enables nontraditional
scenarios, updates multidimensional cube data all while leveraging the power
of
Microsoft .NET
platform and
SQL Server. |

Importing Poorly Formatted Text Files using SSIS
Excerpt from
SQL-Server-Performance.com
Handling text files from SQL Server Integration service (SSIS) is not new and I
am not going to discuss importing well formatted text files. There are many
occasions when database developers (1)
must import text files which are not properly formatted. I will discuss three
methods for doing this. For these situations we are going to use Script
Component data flow task.
Knowledge-wise you need to have basic
understanding of SSIS packages (2).
If you have created SSIS package to import traditional text files that will be
more than enough. We are going to do some .NET scripting, you need to have some
understanding of .NET coding (3).
Resource-wise you need to have SQL Server Business intelligence Development
Studio (4) installed in
your computer.
Case 1: Importing files with different row delimiters in different rows
Case 2: Different Column Delimiters in Same Row
Case 3: Variable Columns

SharePoint News
Looking for End User Training
SharePoint End User
Training Hard to Find
|
It is no
secret that
SharePoint has come on strong and is playing a
key role in many companies. As Microsoft's best selling server of all times, if
you aren't using it now you soon will be. |
The beauty of the product is it gives the
Information Worker the power to design (1),
control and maintain their collaboration sites. While Server Administrators (2)
are responsible for security and design at the top level of a SharePoint
implementation, it is often left up to the Site Owner (3)
to decide what sub-sites to create and who should have permission to access
them. That could mean no more calling the Help Desk to get a new team member
permission to your shared LAN folder!
What if you are that Site Owner (aka Power User)? Where can you turn for
comprehensive training on important features, design concepts, best practices,
and tools for Site Owners? |  |
Infopoint! We have Mindsharp's
renowned SharePoint Power User 3-day training course. Information Workers
and Server Admins have benefited from this class. For those looking for more
about SharePoint Designer check out our NEW 5 day SharePoint Power User PLUS
Designer 2007 course (only found at Infopoint!)
What about training for your Site Members (4)?
Our WSS Level 1 class is perfect for those who just need to know the basics.
Send your staff to our public class or call us to arrange private onsite
training customized to your specific needs.
