• SQL Server Deploying packages with SQL Server based configuration

  Hello, We have been conducting some testing regarding package deployment and SQL Server based configuration. It seems there is a problem that was documented in an MS Feedback entry ( https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=126797 ) I searched for a viable answer, work-around, or hotfix that would address this issue but found none. The jist is that a package that uses SQL Server based configuration must have an xml-based configuration entry to "re-point" the SQL Server based configuration connection manager to the deployment target server. We cannot use environment variable or registry as this is against internal policy. The problem is that even though the xml based config i ...Show All

• Visual J# read text for a .txt help

  I'm attempting to read a line of text from a text file but found no scanner class that I usually use in the java.util package. Does anyone have a good suggestion on what I should use to read a line of text Thanks saw in the alerts you asked something about sleep, but can't find your posting here ( ) > I'm not seeing a Sleep() method.
