Ok, probibly an easy question but I haven't been able to find what I am looking for.
If I have a simple class (see below), how would I make the People List avalible to build a report off of?
Thanks

Code Snippetpublic class Person
{
public string FirstName { get; set;}
public string LastName { get; set;}
}
// and put them into a list
List <Person> People = new List<Person>();
People.Add(new Person () { FirstName = "Joe", LastName = "User"});
People.Add(new Person () { FirstName = "Jane", LastName = "Smith"});
We have a user who uses Business Objects to run queries on the database. They are reporting that the query can lock the database up and that they were told at a conference that there is a setting which can aleviate this problem, but they are not sure if it is in SQL Server or Business Objects.
Have to build DR solution and subj is a part of it. Maybe some one has done it already€¦ share the experience please. Dr in my case will between 2 different data centers, replication is san 2 san so on other side I have a warm standby that does not see san disks and will become active if and only if the primary data center is down, windows domain is the same, ip addresses, names of the servers are different. How a cluster will behave is interesting as well (I mean CE is on cluster, not geo distributed cluster). I have CE90. I€™m talking to their tech support that seems to be outsourced, they didn€™t really produce in 5 days anything more then a part of their own documentation in pdf format for CE version I do not use J€¦ So I€™m wondering maybe somebody had to walk similar path already€¦
We have decided to use business objects in our new application, which seems to be working well, since they can be used as a binding source for grids, etc.
I am trying to evaluate whether SSIS is a practical solution for our ETL requirements. The problem is, I can't find any examples or references, or even the slightest hint that anyone is using them with business objects. Any attempts to search yield a ton of results which are based on a commercial product called "Business Objects" rather than the design pattern.
It is currently a requirement of our development team that all data access must be done via business objects, rather than communicating directly with the database.
Can anyone provide some more information (besides just suggesting I write a custom connection manager)? Is there anyone who has actually made SSIS work with business objects?
Hi,I am evaluating Microsoft Reporting Services against Business Objectsas a reporting tool against SQL Server. I am primarily a BOBJdeveloper and am finding RS not easy to use. Can anyone provide anyfeedback to the overall comparison between these 2 products as I amfinding RS frustrating and am wondering if it is just a matter ofre-adjusting and spending more time on it or if anyone else is findingRS more trickey to use than BOBJ as wellI would be extremely grateful for any feedback.Many thanks in advanceLA
I was wondering if it is possible to use a generic list object to use as the datasource/data for a report? Right now we use these business objects to display information on our website and would be great it we could re-use those objects and create reports based on them. We are doing some calculations etc in the business layer to build these objects, so if we could re-use, that would be best. Thanks!
Does anyone have a successful prescribed sequence for installing VS2005 and Business Intelligence Reports Projects on a Vista Business workstation to be used to create reports for a server?
I've looked through everything I can find here and I don't seem to see a clear solution without a lot of trial and error.
Fact is, I've not been successful getting just the reports to install on a plain XP box. Of course, the report creation looks fine on the server but I don't want to work directly on the server.
Can anyone take me through synchronization of contacts within Business Contacts Outlook into Microsoft Small Business Accounts?
I run a stand alone PC with NO network. When SBA came SQL was also installed. Apparently you can synchronise Contacts within Business Contacts with SBA but both SBA & Outlook should work through the same SQL server.
please help newbieI need to create a lot of objects the same type (let's say: schemas)I wish to use paramerized block in loop to do so.- how to put names of my objects to such control-flow?belss you for help
passing serialised objects to a stored procedure for the purpose of data inserts. I see this as being a way to handle multiple row inserts efficiently.
However, in my limited use of XML data I am not so sure how to link the data when I have a dependency on another "object" within the serialised XML.
Below is a code snippet showing what I have so far.
The first insert statement works fine - but how to retrieve the identifier created by the DB - I want to use an SQL statement that finds the record in the table based on the XML representation (of the PluginInfo), allowing me to insert the ConfigurationInfo with the correct reference to the PluginInfo
DECLARE @Config NVARCHAR(MAX) DECLARE @Handle AS INT DECLARE @TransactionCount AS INT SELECT @Config = ' <ConfigurationDirectory > <ConfigurationInfo groupKey="Notifications" sectionKey="App.Customization.PluginInfo"
I had to do a re-install of SQL 2005 Standand Edition. I now do not have the BI, I do not know if it came with it or not. What would I need to install ifit did? I also wanted to ask: I know that MS Office Excel has the capabilites to sames as an XML file, but it is not very readable to import into the SQLdatabase. Is there a way to import the XML file into the database via one of the express editions? Thank youDee
I've created a store dimension. Within the store dimension is a CityID column that is related to a City dimension. Currently this city dimension has the following columns:
CityID (primary key --- foreign key for the StoreDim) CityName CountyName StateName CountryName ...
My SCD's source is being loaded from a query to a Zip table that contains ZipCodes along with cityID, CountyID, StateID, and CountryID that can be joined out to their respective tables to find the information needed to populate my SCD. However, cities can have several number of zipcodes and several cities in different states can have the same names. This causes a problem with eliminating duplicates for my dimension as well as finding a suitable business key.
For example, let's take a case: Washington city, District of Columbia (county), District of Columbia (state), USA (Country) Now, this city has SEVERAL zip codes so when I create my joins:
SELECT ... FROM Zip Z INNER JOIN City C ON C.CityID = Z.CityID INNER JOIN County Cty ON Cty.CountyID = Z.CountyID
So this returns several CityIDs for the same city... which when I try to use for my SCD causes problems because i have several business keys based off my CityIDs so my dimension loaded would look like
CityID CityDesc CountyDesc StateDesc CountryDesc 1 Washington District of Columbia District of Columbia USA 2 Washington District of Columbia District of Columbia USA 3 Washington District of Columbia District of Columbia USA 4 Washington District of Columbia District of Columbia USA
I want to have just ONE record in my dimension for this city.... How would I do this and what would I use for a business key? Also any recommendations on which of these attributes should be historical attributes? I would appreciate any input you guys have.
The Business Intelligence isn't showing up in the menu with ( Visual Basic, Visual C##, etc). A teckie installed the pro version and said she installed everything, can some one point me in the right direction. We purchase the media and installed from that.
Or maybe it can't find something it's looking for to make my additional symetrical with everything else. This is from one of my businesslogic files. What causes Visual Studio to not allow me to add something here and have it behave like the other parameters/ I'm talking about ShortDesc. Visual studio inserted () and the Get instead of GET like all the others. It would not allow me to capitalize the "get". There has to be a reason for this. Currently my program is adding all of the fields except the ShortDesc to the table in my database. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this is the case?
#Region "Pvt Members" Private _ArticleID As System.Int32 Private _UserID As System.Int32 Private _WebSiteID As System.Int32 Private _ArticleTitle As System.String Private _Author As System.String Private _ShortDesc As System.String Private _ArticleText As System.String Private _AnchorText As System.String Private _ShowInDirectory As System.Boolean Private _Active As System.Boolean Private _DateAdded As System.DateTime#End Region#Region "Properties" Public Property ArticleID As System.Int32 GET Return _ArticleID End Get Set(ByVal Value As System.Int32) _ArticleID= Value End Set End Property Public Property UserID As System.Int32 GET Return _UserID End Get Set(ByVal Value As System.Int32) _UserID= Value End Set End Property Public Property WebSiteID As System.Int32 GET Return _WebSiteID End Get Set(ByVal Value As System.Int32) _WebSiteID= Value End Set End Property Public Property ArticleTitle As System.String GET Return _ArticleTitle End Get Set(ByVal Value As System.String) _ArticleTitle= Value End Set End Property Public Property Author As System.String GET Return _Author End Get Set(ByVal Value As System.String) _Author= Value End Set End Property Public Property ShortDesc() As System.String Get Return _ShortDesc End Get Set(ByVal value As System.String) End Set End Property Public Property ArticleText As System.String GET Return _ArticleText End Get Set(ByVal Value As System.String) _ArticleText= Value End Set End Property Public Property AnchorText As System.String GET Return _AnchorText End Get Set(ByVal Value As System.String) _AnchorText= Value End Set End Property Public Property ShowInDirectory As System.Boolean GET Return _ShowInDirectory End Get Set(ByVal Value As System.Boolean) _ShowInDirectory= Value End Set End Property Public Property Active As System.Boolean GET Return _Active End Get Set(ByVal Value As System.Boolean) _Active= Value End Set End Property Public Property DateAdded As System.DateTime GET Return _DateAdded End Get Set(ByVal Value As System.DateTime) _DateAdded= Value End Set End Property #End Region
I am trying to calculate business hours that an order that is open. The rules are 8am-5pm. For instance the first row, the clock would stop at 17:00, and pick up again at 8am and add on to total business hours. If the order was created after business hours, and the endstamp was before business hours, this would be 0. If created after 5pm friday, and the endstamp was before 8am monday, this would be 0. In the second set of timestamps I have here the order was recieved at 14:39 but took until the following day at 14:49 to be ordered. I imagine I have to use datepart and datediff for this, but other than that I am not sure on how to do it. Any help would really be appreciated!
I'm looking for a DATEDIFF function which will give me the BUSINESS days difference between 2 dates. e.g: datediff(day,'08/08/2007','08/14/2007) would normally result in 6 (i think), however in business days this would be 4. is there such a function? Thx
I am attempting to compute Service Levels for an interaction based upon business hours. For example, an email arrives at 4pm and is handled the following day at 10am. Call Center Hours are 8-5.
Essentially I have a number of different alternatives, and have found some potential solutions, including:
www.dbforums.com/arch/7/2003/9/914261
However, my situation has a couple of additional twists to the standard 8hrs of business M-F. The call center is open different hours depending upon the day of the week. For example, 8-5 M, 10-7 T, 8-5 W Th F, 10-2 Sat, 10-12 Sun
Additionally, I would like to remove Holiday's from the calculation for service level as well.
I have explored a number of different table DTD's, but none seem to be a perfect fit for determining the number of "open" hours between when an interaction arrived, and when it was handled.
The DTD I have for the Holiday table is as follows:
CREATE Table Holidays (HolidayDate DateTime) GO Insert Into Holidays (HolidayDate) Values ('12-25-2004')
Please let me know what you feel would be the DTD for storing the business hours and also the query for extracting the number of Open hours between two dates
Sorry, didn't quite know where this should go. I'm reading Kimball Group's "Microsoft Data Warehouse Toolkit" Has anyone got any experience in defining business processes? I'm struggling a little to look at my employer's recruitment busines and work out exactly what the real processes are. Or maybe one of you has read something somewhere about this specific skill?
------------------------ Me: What do you want to know from your data warehouse? Client: Err...Emm...Everything Me: OK, that's great. That's all I need to know. I'll see you when it's done.
SQL BI Dev Studio is installed our SQL 2005 Server, however, it also needs to be on the person who is developing reports. I've already given her access to the sql db she will be working with. Can I install just the BIDS be installed on her desktop from the SQL CD?
I have one query, i want to calculate the business working hours (like from monday to friday 9 to 5 pm and saturday 9 to 2 pm) for the given dates. And also i want to eliminate the public holidays with in the given dates.
If any one was faced the same situation plz help me.
Start with a Vista Ultimate laptop running in x64. VS 2005 loaded second in x64 mode and sql 2005 developer loaded with everything in x64 mode.
I see the x64 service running in the sql server configuration manager but I don't see business intelligence project under sql server in the start menu or as a type in VS 2005.
I have spent about half an hour looking for an answer to this, so apologies if I have missed it.
Can you get Business Intelligence Development Studio together with SQL Server 2005 both in Express editions? There was mention of an Express toolkit which includes BIDS but it seemed to imply you couldn't combine it with SQL Server Express.
If not, what is the cheapest way for an individual to get Business Intelligence Development Studio? My evaluation edition is about to run out.
I am inquiring whether I can have some business Intelligence on Relational DBMS in SQL 2005 as projecting the number of patients within a health care basing on the available data.
I downloaded Business Contact Manager. With the download an SQL server is part of the download. When I rebooted my machine. The SQL server is not connected.
It's asking for:
Server Service
How is this process completed to operate correctly?
There have been a lot of promising words around about data mining for (at least) the last decade. If one investigates how much data mining is applied in business, it can be concluded that this is rather limited. Currently I am investigating the possible causes of this limited data mining usage for my Master Thesis of Industrial Engineering and Management. This investigation includes a literature study and input a couple of experts from the data mining field.
Currently I want to check my results for two aspect with aid of other data mining practitioners:
Is my analysis of possible causes complete (iow: what is missing?)
Are the identified causes recognized confirmed or rejected by data mining practitioners? In order to proceed with my verification, I am looking for data mining practitioners, who are willing to give feedback on my work. I will send the participants a document with my findings to enable them to give their comments and other kind of feedback. (Or is it a better idea to start the discussion right here in this forum, let me know!) I think that my findings might be useful for every practitioner in the field and encourage you to participate.
Are there any people in this forum, who are willing to participate? In return you will receive my final results, which may be valuable for you as well.
Hey guys,I have to import a csv file to my database and then add some values to other fields based on these values. At present I use a store procedure that does a bulk insert and then I use an update and fetch inside the sql to perform these updates. I am not sure if this is the best way. Is this bad, since some amount of busniess logic is in the store procedure?If it is, how can I do this better?Thanks for the answer.
