Dear All,

If any of you are in the I.T/Software/Hardware/Project Management Fields, we can discuss, programming languages like C++, C#, SQL+, T-SQL, Oracle, SQL Server,.net,VB,Visual Studio,etc.

Please post your questions in any of the above so that we can have increase our knowledge in these areas, thanks

If any of you actually work with MS SQL Server 2000/ Oracle 11i and VB please let me know, as I have few questions to ask.

thanks

No we are not software engineers but software THIEVES who spend 1 hr downloading songs, 1 hr on cricinfo, 1 hr on dinathanthi, 1 hr on tfmpage, and 1 hr driving out Mandakkai. Remaining 30min is spent in closing windows and pressing Alt-Tab when managers and tech leads like JG, cinefan, scorpio approach our seat.(ignore eating time, fruit juice time and phone time with girlfriends)

For useful learning go to http://groups-beta.google.com/group/linux.kernel?hl=en

Put "visual basic", ".net", "linux" in the first box, hit search and u will get more groups with genuinely interested people who will take time to answer ur queries, not ask a question and disappear without saying thanks like indian programmers do.

yes sir raghu!
I am an IT professional.
hIT man for hire.
shoot your questions, somebody will answer it.
Let us make this forum another mini google groups or serverside.com.
This way you can help us browse the "hub" officially.
If my PM asks, I can reply"I am looking answer for the unresolved DB issue or something. He may pat me on the back and I may even get a rise!!!!
Thanks Raghu!!! :rotfl:

Yea i am starting with the questions...

actually i am in systems side s/w Engg, so i dunno any thing related to DB. One of my proj. requirement is like i have to store a mass of data and retrieve it to compute it for the results. The computation involves more complex algorithms, So no other go, i am going to work with the Big Mama - ('C')...

And as i need UI as well, i planned to do it in VC, so that i can include MFC components for GUI, as well as my algorithms in C for computing. SO WHAT DB Can i use? i just need to store and retrieve the data, suggest some DB.. that will go easyly with VC.

oracle/mysql/... some thing :?

(hey the main thing is, its not my official work, its for my personal work... so i have to get the DB by myself... so cost too matters)

Ok, Lets get serious now.

IN SQL SERVER 2005, I have created a DTS Packages, which Migrates data from one server to another (including database Objects & data), but occasionaly it fails with an error message saying

'[SQL-DMO]The BUlk Copy Execution Has Failed'

I looked it up on google, but they still don't tell me how this can be resolved, any ideas?

Get your self an SQL Sever 7(borrow it from some one) this will be cheaper than Oracle, or MS ACCESS (will be far more chaeper and easier to create a database) and then YOU can use ODBC(Open Database Connections) in your Control Panel (If using XP, it would be in Administrative tools) to connect to VC

if i gonna borrow ;) any thing will be cheaper :D!! think i will go with Ms-access if it not works well then i will go for SQL server!!

Akash ji

be careful, MS access is NOT part of any MS office Packages, they only include MS word, MS Excel and Power point, so u will have to buy MS access seperatly, just borrow it from some one man, NO BODY EVER Buys SOFTWARES :lol: :lol:

Ok, here is a question,

I am migrating databases from One server to another server, the migration is done through DTS packages(Migrate, classes, objects, data, users, roles,logins,..etc) one of the database failed with an error message saying 'Bulk Copy execution has failed', does any one know what this is?, is this SQL time out error?

I have tried the restore method, in which I took the back up from the old server and tried to restore it on the new server, but this also failed, it says, I need to use the 'WITH MOVE' to move the LDF & MDf files, I don't want to do that, cos that will mean take the databases off line!

any other suggestions??

thanks a lot

Raghu

15th June 2005, 08:20 PM

dudes

Found a way to copy databases across servers, what u do is backup the Source database, copy the .bak file across to new server, either FTP it or just copy it, then restore it from there by using the following T-SQL command

RESTORE DATABASE TestDB
FROM DISK='d:\testDB.BAK'
WITH MOVE
'TestDB' TO 'D:\data\TestDB.MDF',
'TestDB_log' TO 'D:\data\TestDB_Log.LDF'

HEY ziaXXXXX,
which programs are you interested in?
For things like HTML, Java , PHP you can learn it easily on the net. But if you want to learn the other programs ( UNIX etc) its better to take classes. In university i had classes in Java, php etc but i learned better on my own by looking at stuff on the net.
Let me know waht your looking to learn, and i can give you some links.

can anyone give me any gud links or names of any buks...which will help me in learning web desiging / graphic designing on my own??

Hi,

Can anyone here let me know how to convert a .dat file into a .avi or .mpeg file coz I'm not able to play my wedding video(in WMP) which is in .dat format... :(
guess the files are corrupt & I would like to re-encode the video stream...Or is there any other way to fix this problem...Is virtualdub a good option to convert the files to .avi?...

Hi dev,

Try this command at dos prompt,

click on start, then click on run and type 'cmd' and enter, then u will be in c:\Documents and settings\<profile name>\

now type rename <path of file location>\a.bat a.avi

but u should have some program which will open , files of extensions *.avi and *.mpeg

Nerd

4th October 2005, 06:22 AM

:shock:

I always thought that .avi, .mpeg, .dat etc.., use different encodings and just renaming a file does not change the encoding/compression of that file . hmm.. shall try that once!!

Parashift C++ FAQ is a good site. Covers most of the C++ fundamentals.

http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/

FYI there are very good newsgroups like comp.std.c++ where C++ related stuff are discussed. You can join those groups and make use of it.

Mikka nandri hai!

Hi all,

If you have been in IT industry too long these are your symptoms:

1.) U use phrases like "No issues" and "Value addition" in everyday parlance. For e.g. When talking about your doodhwalla, U say, "His milk does zero value addition to my health but he is the only guy around so no issues"

2.) Ur prime source of entertainment is the forwards send to U by friends whose faces U cant remember.

3.) U drink more tea or coffee than water.

4.) U keep trying to shut down ur home computer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del (used to lock office comps)

5.) When ur mobile rings at home, U rush outside to receive the call.

6.) When U make calls at home, U accidentally dial "0"to get an outside line.

7.) U haven't played Solitaire with real cards in years.

8.) Ur last crush was a girl in HR, ur current crush is the new girl in HR and all ur crushes in the future will be girls in HR.

9.) U spend the entire day reading forwards, smoking cigarettes, drinking tea/coffee and playing T.T. and then complain about the late working hours.

10.) Ur important 'meetings' usually comprise two or three people max, including yourself.

11) U secretly prepare for CAT only to find ur PL sitting behind you at the exam.

13.) U keep pressing Ctrl+Enter wondering why your gmail is not going.

14.) U email ur mate who works at the desk next to U.

15.) As U read this list, U r thinking of sending it to ur friends who are also in IT.

16.)U r too busy to notice there was no line no. 12

17.)U r not sure so u scroll back check it .

18.)And now u r smiling!!!!

Am sure u did steps 16 to 18.

Just for fun, ok start coding
Hi Anoushka

hello!

im an IT student in anna univ...

my OS mam have just started teaching OS..

she said that processor can perform only one operation at a time!...

so a doubt was asked..

in a single processor environment,how come we run two songs(one in media player and the other in real player)at the same time and both sounds can be heard if the processor can perform only one instruction at a time!

my mam said that things like media player are run by device driver...they doesnt need processor!....so it runs all the time...

my friend said another answer!..
he said the processor is so quick!..so it performs the action for first song(may be two seconds of the song) and then switches to second song run by real player....he said we are not hearing what is performed at that moment...we hear the sound which is already performed by the processor.....thats why hear some 1 second sound even after we close the media player as the processor have already finished that process!

which is correct!..... :?

Hi,

Was wondering if one needs to get a work permit/ employment pass/H1 to work from home(outsourced accounting & tax prep work)... I'm interested in knowing the laws in this regard particularly in Singapore & the US...

As far as I know in US if you wantto work and are getting paid for it then u have to have a valid work permit.Only way you can work without a permit is todo volunteer work(u probably wont get paid for it).

Sorry, Nilavu, I am unable to help u on this.

Dear all,

I am trying to set up an ODBC(Open Database Connection) to a SQL Server database, running on windows 2003, from my PC running Windows XP.

I want to connect to the database using 'Windows Authentication' rather than 'SQL Authentication' , it is generating this error, does any one know what this error means?

'can not generate SSPI context.'

help!!

Nilavu,

//she said that processor can perform only one operation at a time!...//
she 100% true. a processor can perform only one task at a time.(OS level). But a processor can execute several instructions parallely through a concept called pipelining. At the OS level, playing a song is a task(process) and editing a file is also a process(task). BOth these things, are executed instruction by instruction by the processor. the OS assigns the processor to each process for a fixed time interval. we call this as timeslice. Once the time slice finishes, the OS removes the process from the processor and assigns some other process. The selection forms the basis of scheduler.

//in a single processor environment,how come we run two songs(one in media player and the other in real player)at the same time and both sounds can be heard if the processor can perform only one instruction at a time!//

The switching happens at nano or micro level based on the speed of ur processor. The OS will create an image to u as if it is executing multiple tasks.

//my mam said that things like media player are run by device driver...they doesnt need processor!....so it runs all the time...//

Your mam is wrong. I am not sure whether she said this one or u listened to her partially. Ofcourse media player and other things are handled through special OS routines called "DEVICE DRIVERS". the function of these modules is to act as an interface between the running processes and the actual devices(hardware). for eg, if I want the running process to get the recent key pressed by the user, it requests the device driver through the OS. the DD inturn deposits the key pressed in the application memory by reading it from keyboard buffer. I think this is enough.
DDs are also software modules. they need processor for their execution

//my friend said another answer!..
he said the processor is so quick!..so it performs the action for first song(may be two seconds of the song) and then switches to second song run by real player....he said we are not hearing what is performed at that moment...we hear the sound which is already performed by the processor.....thats why hear some 1 second sound even after we close the media player as the processor have already finished that process!//

Your friend is right. He has given a perfect answer which anyone can understand. Please go through Abraham silberschaatz and Design of operating systems & OS books by Andrew tanenbaum to get a better insight about it.

selvakumar

9th January 2006, 06:46 PM

heyy guys..plz clear this doubt!

whats the difference between threads(light weight processes) in unix and threads in windows!

Nilavu,

I think the main difference between the two is how they support applications to use the thread facilities.

For eg, In unix/linux, the OS does not support threads. OS treats each and every thread as a process only. Just like processes, unix kernel creates memory and other resources for threads. If applications wants to use thread facility the unix kernel doesnot provide any API for doing it except usual process creation functions like fork,exec,execv etc. so, application developers use libraries like POSIX library and other vendor libraries that provide thread creation API.This is just like using a function thread_create(eg). the library binary inturn creates a process for the thread requested in the kernel during execution.

In windows, the situation is very different. the OS itself supports threads. IN windows MFC, we have special classes for creating the threads. Also, switching and handling of threads are not done by any external libraries. IT is handled internally by the windows kernel itself. In windows, processes and threads are different. A number of threads work under a single process which in turn work under a large program(task). For threads created under WINDOWS, no process like resource like file descriptors, device bufferes are allocated. also, the windows kernel handles the thread switching and task switching. U can check these things in task manager. U can see tasks and processes.

If u have any other doubt, post it here.

For a person interested in multimedia (specially graphics/image-editing and animation oriented) presentations, jobs or careers.........

which do u think is a HIGH POTENTIAL career? Well paid career / A career with more scope?

Any suggestions about getting acquainted with 'MAYA'?

Which institutes here in bangalore IS RECOMMENDED for its training and pricing?

Well paid career
For a well paid career its best to start our own business (eg. consultancies).
If you dont want to do that, then outsourced MNC jobs are the ones that pay good.
While there are many many ways to become a millionaire, its all up to us to garner all of the idea and implement them.

which do u think is a HIGH POTENTIAL career? Well paid career

For me a high potential career is to get a PhD and become a prof at MIT :lol:

Ok let me be more serious. First let me give you an overview about the overall picture. If you will look at the global economy right now, you will find that jobs are being outsourced to India and China from the US. As a result of wallmart getting finished goods from china, majority of the manufacturing jobs in the US have been lost. Similarly, most of the services oriented jobs & programming jobs are outsourced to India just because Indians can speak better english and are technically adept. China is a loser here because their oral english skills are not great.

So, if you want to have a career in a MNC in India, then i will say just look at the market/trend in the US.
Get some 4 or 5 years of experience in US in finance oriented IT services. Aim for a CEO or something for a outsourcing location in India for a MNC. Simultaneously start your own consultancies etc. Anyways i am careful not to break all the secrets. I have many other done deal ideas.

BTW: My dad wanted me to be an officer in Indian Police Service. Hehe. For him that is the great job.

Any suggestions about getting acquainted with 'MAYA'?

This question was even asked by my brother. I will do a google or job search in Naurki or something like Phil did. If i was very optimistic about a career in multimedia i would have already mentioned it to you.

command based application starting......................

To run any of these apps go to Start > Run and type the executable name (ie charmap).

=========================================

1) Character Map = charmap.exe (very useful for finding unusual
characters)

2) Disk Cleanup = cleanmgr.exe

3) Clipboard Viewer = clipbrd.exe (views contents of Windows clipboard)

4) Dr Watson = drwtsn32.exe (Troubleshooting tool)

5) DirectX diagnosis = dxdiag.exe (Diagnose & test DirectX, video & sound cards)

6) Private character editor = eudcedit.exe (allows creation or modification of characters)

7) IExpress Wizard = iexpress.exe (Create self-extracting / self-installing package)

8) Microsoft Synchronizat! ion Manager = mobsync.exe (appears to allow synchronization of files on the network for when working offline.
Apparently undocumented).

9) Windows Media Player 5.1 = mplay32.exe (Retro version of Media Player, very basic).

10) ODBC Data Source Administrator = odbcad32.exe (something to do with
databases)

11) Object Packager = packager.exe (to do with packaging objects for insertion in files, appears to have comprehensive help files).

12) System Monitor = perfmon.exe (very useful, highly configurable tool, tells you everything you ever wanted to know about any aspect of PC performance, for uber-geeks only )

13) Program Manager = progman.exe (Legacy Windows 3.x desktop shell).

14) Remote Access phone book = rasphone.exe (documentation is virtually non-existant).

15) Registry Edito! r = regedt32.exe [also regedit.exe] (for hacking the Windows Registry).

16) Network shared folder wizard = shrpubw.exe (creates shared folders on network).

17) File siganture verification tool = sigverif.exe

18) Volume Contro = sndvol32.exe (I've included this for those people that lose it from the System Notification area).

19) System Configuration Editor = sysedit.exe (modify System.ini & Win.ini just like in Win98! ).

20) Syskey = syskey.exe (Secures XP Account database - use with care, it's virtually undocumented but it appears to encrypt all passwords, I'm not sure of the full implications).

21) Microsoft Telnet Client = telnet.exe

22) Driver Verifier Manager = verifier.exe (seems to be a utility for monitoring the actions of drivers, might be useful for people! having driver problems. Undocumented).

23) Windows for Workgroups Chat = winchat.exe (appears to be an old NT utility to allow chat sessions over a LAN, help files available).

24) System configuration = msconfig.exe (can use to control starup
programs)

25) gpedit.msc used to manage group policies, and permissions

Tis not really ... i would say Practically possible to learn all the SAP modules ... If u ask SAP module experts ... they would say "even what they knew in their module is a drop in the ocean"

SAP is a ready made software ... tis been customized for the different industries, according to their needs n necessities ...

3. They can support devices spread all over the country

4. The size of the "basic" OS is about 4 GB but the system consists of 1024 processor which
in turn contains a seperate copy therefore = 2.3 GB * 1024

5. This machines is ever stopped since 1982 still running without any virus attack and failures

6. It takes ATLEAST 65 days to install and customize a basic tandem machine

Hi all,

Can some one tell me how to Backup a database from server 'A' to 'B', I tried mapping a Drive from server B to server A, and tried backing up, but it does not work, server A can only see it's physical drives not mapped drives.

at the moment, I am backing up the database on the same server and copying using the'xcopy' command in a batch file, and it takes about 20 mins, as this is a 7GB database!!!

Any other suggestions?

Adding Drive To The Sendto List
I have recently found that if you want to send something from A: drive or from any where to any drive, you can just make a short cut of that drive in subdirectory SENDTO.
For example I have two hard drives, a Floppy Drive, and a CDROM
After I have make a copy of each of my drive I will be able to send a whole directory of E:\XXX from the CDROM drive to A: drive or any other drive that i have had made the short c t in the SENDTO subdir of WINDOWS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adding A Protected Briefcase
You can make your briefcase a shortcut on the on desktop so if you have multiple users on your PC and you don't want to have a password for your briefcase, you can at least protect it from inadvertent deletion by just making the briefcase a hidden file or in a different location other than \Windows\Desktop\My Briefcase, then send a copy or shortcut to the desktop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Customizing The Start Button's Name And Icon
To change the name of the Start button:

Copy EXPLORER.EXE in your Windows directory to another directory
Start a hex editor (I've been using Diskedit from Norton)
Edit EXPLORER.EXE
Search for the string 53 00 74 00 61 00 72 00 74
This is the word Start with the letters separated by a null character
The section you are in should also have the words "There was an internal error..." also separated with the null character immediately following
Now just replace the Start letters with any of your choice (up to 5 characters only)
Exit Windows
Boot to DOS
Copy your new Explorer file over the original
To change the Start button icon:

Copy USER.EXE in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory to another directory
Use an icon editor that can replace icons in executable files
Edit USER.EXE and replace the flag icons with the icon of your choice
Boot to DOS
Copy the new USER.EXE
The same can be done with NT 4.0, just the offset will be different but the location to just before "There was an internal error..." is the same.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adding The Device Manager To Your Desktop
This allows you to quickly see all the devices attached to your computer.
I use it a lot to select Refresh when I add new external SCSI devices that were not
powered up at startup. This way you do not need to restart the computer. To add the Device Manager Icon:

Right click on an open area of your desktop
Select New / Shortcut
Type in C:\WINDOWS\CONTROL SYSDM.CPL, SYSTEM, 1
Replace C:\WINDOWS with whatever directory you installed Windows95
Click on the Next box
At the next dialog box type in Device Manager

Note: Replacing the 1 with a 3 will bring up the Performance Status

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Click on the File Types Tab
Scroll down until you see File Folder
Click on Edit
Click on New
Type in the Name you want to in the Action box
Type in the Application you want to use
A good option to add is an MS-DOS Prompt:

Try this c:\command.com /k cd %1
It also puts the shortcut on a regular folder.
This command will open a DOS window with that folder as the current directory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How To Make The Task Bar Autohide
Click the right button on a blank area of the task bar
Select Properties
Select Autohide
Click OK
This will make the task bar slide off the screen when the cursor moves away from it,
and it will slide back on when the cursor is moved near it again.

The same can be done for the MS Office task bar. The "sliding" effect is nice, and can free up some desktop space.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More Removing Shortcut Arrows
'lnkfile', 'piffle' and 'internetshortcut' are the three places
that I have seen the isshortcut arrow.
The best way to deal with this is to rename the 'isshortcut' to
'isshortcutbak' by right clicking on the 'isshortcut' then
select rename and add 'bak' to the end.

Delete this Font

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changing Desktop Folders - With No Registry Changes

Move all your desktop folders into that folder.
Create shortcuts to all of those folders on your desktop.
Now, you are free to change the icons of each shortcut individually, to anything you like!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updating The Desktop
If you want to update the desktop, for example after you've been changing the registry.

The last "," is vital!
If you want the two pane Explorer view ad the switch ,/e
Then rename the Shortcut to "Desktop" or whatever you choose and drag the icon onto the start button.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Removing Shortcut Arrows
One problem when removing shortcut arrows is that
if you delete a desktop item, it will remove it.
If it is a shortcut it will just remove the icon.
If it is not a shortcut, then it will remove the program.
Having the little icon arrow is one way to tell the difference

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Getting Rid Of Click Here To Continue

Note: I haven't experimented with too many of the other icon changes possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adding Control Panel Icons To The Desktop
This is an easy one..

Simply open up the Control Panel.
Right Click and Drag the icon you want to your desktop or folder.

You should see the items Open, Explore, and Find on the context menu. Click Explore with your left mouse button.
An Explorer file management window should open. A directory tree should appear in the left pane, with the right pane displaying the contents of the Start Menu folder.
Right-click any empty space within the right pane. A context menu should appear. Click New and then Folder.
The Explorer will create a highlighted icon called New Folder. Type in the following string, all on one line, replacing the words New Folder with this new line. You must type the period, the curly braces, all four hyphens, and the hexadecimal numbers exactly as shown. After the closing curly brace, press Enter.
Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

Note: I have only tested this on a few computers. Please give me feedback regarding any problems.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Creating Document Scraps
If you are using Microsoft Word 7.0,
you can highlight a section of the document then drag and drop the highlighted area to
your desktop. Windows will create a file for you with a name something like
"Document Scrap From..." followed by the first few words you selected

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quick Access To Your Desktop
How do you access your darn desktop when you have a ton of applications open?
Well you could right click on the taskbar and do a minimize all, but that can be slow.
Instead:

Open a browser window (double-click on "My Computer")
If there is no toolbar, select View from the menu and select Toolbar.
Then from the dropdown list-box in the toolbar select desktop.
Now minimize it and forget about it.
The next time you want to access your desktop just click the desktop window on the taskbar.
As long as you don't close the window when you shutdown, it will reopen when you start windows again.

Additional Note: You can also drag the Desktop folder to the start menu.
Then you just press Ctrl-ESC and click on Desktop

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

can somebody answer this que !

1. Can many servers can exist and run on the same machine?

2. Can many clients can exist and run on the same machine?

guys ...

can somebody answer this que !

1. Can many servers can exist and run on the same machine?

as far as I know, the answer is NO, cos one PC will have only 1 IP address, but I have feeling u can , create a new pipe id, ie. if ur ip address is someting like 123.33.45.1, then u can add 123.33.45.1:20, u c the last digit(20) is the pipe ID

2. Can many clients can exist and run on the same machine?

, again I dont think so.

Right, I tried updating values in a table called 'Syslogins' i the master database within SQL server, but I am getting an error saying 'Update or insert of view or function 'syslogins' failed because it contains a derived or constant field.
'

does this mean system tables within the master atabase are non updateable??

Raghu,
I think a machine can have one or more IP Addresses. I have done that also. IT depends on how many ETHERNET Interfaces you have. Am I right ? :roll:

Selva ,

R u saying, 4 eg, if u have 2-3 PCI Ethernet Cards, that PC can have three IP address, I think u r right :roll:

Raghu

Raghu,

one can configure a machine with an alternate configuration, one dynamic which would be the default and another static, which would serve as the alternate config in the absence of a DHCP. but to have two IP addresses workig simultaneously for the same machine, one needs more than one NIC's as Selva said.

And Raghu, you are talking abt port numbers rite? that shud also help.

1. Can many servers can exist and run on the same machine?

Depends on ur definition of a server. A server is basically a machine that provides services. In that case if the same machine can provide DNS, DHCP, RRAS or File server services, we can call it as "more than one server" . So the same machine acts as DNS server, DHCP server, File server and so on. Actually i dont see any other interpretation of ur question BG. so tell me if i am off the mark.

2. Can many clients can exist and run on the same machine?

I think the same machine can be a member of more than one domain. In that case we can say more than one client running on the same machine.

Sridhar, U can use a Word Viewer if u r jus going to view the documents. Its available in the MS website for a free download.

U can choose to open documents in Winword only if you want to edit them...

Thanks Rami,but this is related to my project! the output is in a form of word document it will open it automatically and goes for printing.It is a virtual process such that no users will be there to click 'Enable' or 'Disable' macros.

Anyway i got a solution from Anjali.If the document type is 'Rich Text Format' you can avoid this hitch! Macros pop-out wont come!

Thanks again for your help

Very good piece of info.............

An alternative keyboard in Windows

In case on your keyboard some keys stop working

Microsoft provides you with an alternative way to type in using the mouse

To work this tool go to

Start menu

Then

Select Run

Type in OSK

Press OK

A keyboard will appear that you can use both in Arabic and English

And to switch between Arabic and English just press the Shift key and choose the letter.

How do I type OSK when the keyboard isn't working??? :?

:rotfl: :rotfl: Actually you can access (without keyboard) the same from Start--->Program Files--->Accesories--->Accessibility--->On-Screen Keyboard (thats the secret behind the keyword "OSK" :lol2:)

And SS, I think the real intent was to help impaired people... dont ask me how :P, but thats wat it is supposed to be for :roll: .

So the same machine acts as DNS server, DHCP server, File server and so on. Actually i dont see any other interpretation of ur question BG. so tell me if i am off the mark.

A server is any process or system that provides a set of services. It need not be machine alone. e.g Database servers, (Oracle), Application servers (websphere, weblogic), WebServers (Apache TOMCAT, IIs) ETC.

Yes.. A single machine can host serveral servers like Database, application and web.. For e.g., if we run a website, the end machine might run a webserver(apache), Application server (for business logic e.g. websphere) and Database server (like SQL Server or Oracle)

But existence of several servers on a single machine, DEPENDS ON MEMORY, Processors , Scalability and performance of the applciation in question.

2. Can many clients can exist and run on the same machine?
I think the same machine can be a member of more than one domain. In that case we can say more than one client running on the same machine.

Yes.. we can run serveral clients on the same machine. I mean.. We can run SEVERAL DATABASE CLIENTS, X-CLIENTS(in linux) in the same machine. To be precise, each and every window that we open in LINUX is a CLIENT that uses the services of the X-SERVER (GUI Server)

One of my queries in the BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT THREAD !!!

When you are in a IT project as a Business Analyst, and after you have finished with all your Discovery sessions in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) with the Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), how would you transfer all that feedback you obtained from those sessions into actual REQUIREMENTS ??

It'll be very helpful if somebody could shed some light on this !! Thanks !! :D

Anoushka

19th October 2006, 05:05 PM

BayArea: I don't understand your question... But I would have thought that you have standard templates to do your requirement documents, which includes system requirements, general overview of the system, and tech arch.... which have to be filled out, sent for review (both internally and to the customer) and a sign off obtained before proceeding to the next step...

Please tell me if my answer is not what you were expecting!

m_23_bayarea

19th October 2006, 06:49 PM

Anouksha, Your answer is perfect, provided I have all the information necessary to input on the templates of ReqPro, etc ...

I am at a different scenario altogether now ... It just changed yesterday ... So we might as well ignore that previous question of mine ... So here's the latest !!

We are working on a migration project from one system to another ... It's not really a 100% migration, but only about 85% to the enterprise system and the remaining 15% is said to be retained in the legacy system itself ... I was working on the Requirements gathering on the enterprise side till yesterday ... But from today, I have to be working on the legacy side, with all the changes that's gonna happen on it, due to this conversion ...

This is a banking/financial domain, and in the kickoff meeting, they only said about 8 to 9 aspects in the legacy need modification, and so the requirements are gonna be written for those aspects .. Now my understanding on how to proceed with this process is ...

* Get as much documentation as possible abt the Legacy System ..

* Understand the Legacy system, the interfaces, it's future interface with the enterprise system ..

* Identify the functional areas that need modification ...

* Understand those functional areas in and out and study the AS-IS processes ...

* Come up with some open ended questions for each of those areas that might include System overview, the current processes, the interface design etc etc ..

* Identify the Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for each of those functional areas ...

* Conduct the discovery sessions based on those questions with the respective SMEs ...

* Rough Draft the answers, and later put them into a form that might help better in requirements ...

* Upload that version into Requisite Pro as real requirements ...

* Make the BRDs and the SRSs ....

Does this process make any sense to you ??? Please explain if I'm missing something, or if something could be done better !! Thanks a lot .... :D :D :D

Anoushka

19th October 2006, 07:23 PM

That looks perfect bayarea :)

What you can do when you talk to SMEs is that for those 9 aspects that require change, during your discovery sessions, clearly document the current system and what you think the new system is going to be - preferably in diagrams (pictures say a lot)!

At any point of time, get the latest documentation, most systems have an AS-IS documentation based on when the system was first implemented, there are constant changes to the system which are not documented always. Keep that in mind when asking for documentation, always remember to ask if any changes have been made since the document was released.

Good luck :)

WHen a database is in 'Suspect' mode, what does it mean?

In one of the interviews that I attended, the same question was asked :lol: But I was not applying for a DBA postion :hammer:

AFAIK, if that is a SQL Database its in suspect mode because,
- The database resources might be unavailable or the OS cant access it
- The DB files might have been corrupt

There is a stored procedure (forgot the name, sp_reset or something) that would recover the DB for you, after you fix the errors :)

Bay: this book by Kendall is a good one, at least that is what I have heard, I have'nt read any so far!

Anoushka, this might sound funny !!! I was all prepared to buy this book yesterday, and my roomie and I were driving to Barnes and Noble ... We lost our way, and could only see this BOOKS board from a long distance ... So we thought, maybe the storekeepers might know where B & N exactly was ... But it happened to be a HALF-PRICE store with books on all fields .. So we thought, why not stop by and have a look at the aisles .. :P

So we go to Management Aisle, and there was a shelf for Project Management/Consulting ... At that point, I was praying that I should atleast see ONE book in Business Systems Analysis ... And guess what, there was ONE book called MODERN SYSTEMS ANALYSIS & DESIGN ... I ended up buying that used book for $8 when the original price is actually $142 !! :wink:

India's GDP is growing faster thanks to their Outsourcing compagnies. But indian workers want their wage to rise and their working condition to be improved better, that is caused a lot of turnover in India. But they cannot have free time to occupy family and hobbies, and must work more than 50 hours per week. Outsourcing compagnies from abroad treat them like animals :evil: and if they can succeed on big projets, they would turn to China which would be surpassing India in the next decade, according to experts.

It might happen. They need Profit. That's all. We need wages or else there will be nothing. Either you should earn or you should sit idle at home here. Sometimes, these things will take a backseat if you consider the primary things. IMO. This is happening for ages. We can't blame outsourcing companies. If you make a difference out of outsourcing companies and our own Indian companies, you will feel that OS companies are much better in providing employee satisfaction (not just with salary alone) :)
