• J. Nail MySite (old)

  I just updated to MOSS 2007 from SPS 2003. When I click on MySite everything works fine, but when I'm working in it, I get the title MySite (old) up top that when clicked on goes back to the 2003 mysite. Any way I can remove that Do I just delete the Mysite site not the personal one. Thanks -Nick- I deleted the MySite....and it messed everying thing up. I am working on rebuilding the SSP to rebuild the mysites. I have the exact same issue after doing an inplace upgrade. Let me know if you find anything out how to resolove this.

• mel_mel database watcher ... need suggestions !!

  Hi all, i'm trying to develope a windows service which will listen on a database table (Oracle database) , when a record updated ,the service will store it on another database . (Sql Server database) the question is what is the best methodology to detect database update my idea is to run a query periodically and check the update is anyone have a better solution thanks. IMO the best way to achieve this would be to have the database fire a message back to your windows service when a change occurs that you are interested in, i.e. your service responds to event from the database, a notification service. Now this is very easy when using .Net 2.0 & Sql Server 2005 because you can use the SqlDependency ...Show All

• Tom Frey Scheduling Job in a Web Farm

  Hello, I have a farm of .NET servers. The application also needs scheduled jobs - like sending reports / notifications periodically. The question is - what is the best way to schedule this job I want the same set of software to run on all machines - so that if in case one machine goes down, the other is able to run the scheduled job. The options I am considering: 1) making them SQL Server jobs ( which are failed over in a cluster), but these jobs need resources available on the .NET servers, and I donot think that opening a backward connectivity from DB to App would be the best way. 2) To have some kind of a lock in the database, and schedule the job on all the machines in windows scheduler. The one which wakes up first, gets the l ...Show All

• AvalonNewbie Deciding which design strategy to use for n-tier applications

  I'll use a typical, simplified ERP system as an example. Most ERP will contain the following 3 basic features: Data maintenance Ad hoc search/reporting Business processing These three features differ in their nature and it affects the design chosen in architecture. Just wondering how should we deal with these problems Data maintenance: This area contains highly repetitive CRUD plumping works. ORM is suitable for this task. Ad hoc search/reporting: This area is hardly "object-oriented". The main concern would be performance. Dynamic SQL query may be a good choice. Business processing: This includes business process such as processing/tracking workflow, matching payment with invoi ...Show All

• Rahul Singla Any way to retrieve original SOAP action?

  When a message gets processed by the Session Engine, the original SAOP action gets lost. For example, consider the following route (borrowed from the Intercept example) <Route> <Criteria>(ACTION EQ 'http://www.contoso.com/intercept/AddResponse')</Criteria> <Destination>UIParticipant[http://www.contoso.com/SampleServices/RouteResponse]</Destination> </Route> In the resulting SOAP call to the UIParticipant, the original action (AddResponse) is never mentioned. Is there a way to retrieve this original action and why isn't this provided Almost all other information (OriginalFrom, OriginalMessagId) is provided in the wsa:From > wsa:ReferenceProperties xml element... ...Show All

• solutions Index Server combo box greyed out

  Hi I am trying to create 'New Shared Services Provider' on newly installed sharepoint 2007, but combo box is greyed out. How do I assign index server role. in central admin, go to "operations" and "services on server" and then start the microsoft office search, with atleast the "index" role turned on. good luck! I wish a screenshot could be put up here but I dont think thats possible. The only think I can think of at this point with your issue is you are not logged on with the appropriate permissions to make the change. I cant think of any other reason off the top of my head why your not able to do this action unless you had an issue with rights. Hi Bob, I really dont know what I hav ...Show All

• shax Load Balancing of Business functionality in a Distributed Scenario

  Hi, I have a scenario wherein the custom application that I am developing would be installed at 3 different locations. Now based on how the business load is, one system should be able to offload certain part of its work item queue to the other two systems where load isnt that heavy. Sounds confusing. Well let me try to articulate with an example. Suppose I have to process Insurance claims and I have two office within a city which does that. Each office would handle requests designated to their area. Now suppose Office 1 has heavy load of claims to processed and it knows that Office 2 doesnt have any heavy workload, it should be able to offload the same to the other office get it processed and give the result back even though the claim doe ...Show All

• NetPochi Objects with many child object relations - Need design help!

  Hello, First let me start by saying that I am just getting started with OOP and Domain driven design so please take it easy on me. I am designing a domain model that consists of PROJECT objects that can contain ISSUE objects that can contain other objects like NOTES and ATTACHMENTS. There will be times in which my application will need to populate each PROJECT object along with all related child objects. However, sometimes I just need to get a list of PROJECTS to fill a dropdown or list UI control. In this case I just need some basic PROJECT properties like name and ID. I think it would be too much overhead if I populated all child objects just to fill a list (especially if there are many PROJECTs). Shoud I create 2 separate PROJ ...Show All

• Danny Tuppeny Should Active Directory be a Domain Controller or in a different domain ?

  MCSF uses Active Directory to store user details. 1. But does it need to be in a different domain or a domain controller 2. Can I just install AD and point MCSF to store users there Regards, Sachin I think you are talking about ADAM. That doesn't work with CSF. Active Directory Application Mode Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is a directory service designed to meet the needs of organizations that cannot rely solely on Active Directory to provide directory services for directory-enabled applications. While Active Directory offers many benefits for managing network infrastructure, organizations often need a more flexible directory service to support directory-enabled applications. ADAM is a Lightweigh ...Show All

• harvard_isaac Should a good business tier provide async methods?

  Hello Forum I have developed a business tier that in some cases is located remote and sometimes located on a web server with the web frontend. I have frontend developers requesting that I make async versions of all methods or at least of some in the business tier. They want to use this so they can use with the new "Asyncronous Pages" in ASP:NET 2.0. (See links - the last one includes an impressive benchmark) I'm not experienced in providing async methods from a business tier. I have 2 questions.
