• SQL Server Cannot Connect to a Remote SSIS Server

  I originally posted this issue on the SSIS forum and it was suggested I cross post here. I'm trying to connect to the MSDB database on a remote SSIS server using the integration services connection listed in the drop down box on SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. Every connection attempt ends with an 'Access Is Denied' error message. I have full db_dtsadmin rights on the remote server. We followed the MSDN whitepaper on connecting to a remote SSIS server (the section on eliminating the Access Is Denied error - configuring rights for remote users). Nothing works, I always get the generic access denied error message. Are there other permissions that need to be assigned in conjunction with db_dtsadmin to get this to work I wonder if there is ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CeFindFirstFile using VB6

  Ok, my first Smart Device project and I've come to a bit of a standstill, trying to find out what files are on the device. Tried the CeFindAllFiles, but from what I have read I don't think it will function in VB6. So, on to CeFindFirstFile and and CeFindNextFile. It all looks so easy. I'm confused as to how you set up the returning information. I keep seeing references to 'CE_FIND_DATA', but what is that all about If anyone has an example or ideas it would be appreciated. Bert Thanks, I can see the article now and the sample code, which pretty similar to what I already have. I can send a file from the pc to the pda, and I think I could get the reverse process to work, with what I already have, but that is ...Show All

• SQL Server Which algorithm is better for customer retention

  Hi Pl any one tell me which algorithm is better for Customer retention Using SQL server 2005 analysis services It will be great if some one can give the same with example of data model with key column , and rest Thanks in Advance Rajesh Ladda Usually you would use Decision Trees for retention, although you may try Naive Bayes or Neural Nets. You model would contain all information about customers and whether or not they "left". You should probably randomly pick an approximately equal number of people who left and people who stayed to get the best results. You model would predict the field indicating whether they left or not. ...Show All

• SQL Server Handling errors in SSIS

  When I have an alternet Data Flow in an event handler, caused by a record failing to be inserted due to a unique-key constraint violation, does this increment the number of errors, counting towards the MaximumErrorCount How can I NOT count it as an error The thing is, I need to insert 300,000+ records each day, and some may be duplicates from data already in the table. So I set a unique key constraint on the table, and if during the load, it fails, it will trigger an alernate data flow to load the error records into another table. But if someone tries to load a file that already has been loaded, for example, all the records would be duplicates, which would be equivelant to 300,000+ errors, and I don't want to keep setting the MaximumEr ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Any way to fill texture with data in memory?

  I thought it should be Texture2D.SetData() but when I saw the remarks, I found it says it can only be used with dynamic texture. So if I use the constructor of Texture2D to create a managed/automatic texture, how can I fill it with data You can create and fill a texture like this: Texture2D texture = new Texture2D ( device, width, height, 1, ResourceUsage.None, SurfaceFormat.Color, ResourceManagementMode.Automatic ); uint[] pixels = new uint[width * height]; //Your code to fill in the pixels array goes here texture.SetData(pixels); I recently uploaded a really simple example that uses the above code and creates a checkered texture in memory. You can find the project her ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Modifying custom composite activities at design/runtime time inside of a workflow.

  If I create a composite activity that inherits from SequentialActivity and has a number of other activities added to it and drop this new activity on a workflow is it possible to modify it at design time. So if one of the sub-activities I dropped on my composite activity was a sequential activity can it get modified after it is dropped on to the workflow. Basically what I want is to be able to create custom activities with certain common flows but at some point I want to be able to put a place holder in that flow to allow someone reusing my custom activity to do something custom. 2nd question related to the first. Same situation but instead of a placeholder (i.e. sequential activity) inside of this custom activity I want to use an ...Show All
