Abstract:
As your organization grows, one challenge will be the management of data between systems and organizational units. With MDS, Microsoft provides the ability to have one accurate source of non-transactional data. This data can then be used within applications, other databases, and ETL processes. By leveraging data stewards to help manage the data repository, you can ensure that your MDS data is always up-to-date and accurate. In this presentation we will cover MDS from start to finish including installation, creating models/entities, working with data, using the Excel add-in, security, hierarchies, views, versions, and business rules. After this presentation, you will have a good understanding of what master data management is, what MDS does, how to use it, and how to get started with your own MDS project.

Abstract:
Today, many organizations have already virtualized most of their non critical applications, these organizations are now employing a "Virtual First" policy, harnessing the efficiency and cost savings of virtualization for their most critical applications. Still, many IT architects and DBA's are hesitant of virtualizing their SQL workloads, they are worried about performance, scale, availability and support for what is usually considered their most critical applications. In this session we will review the guidance for successfully virtualizing critical SQL databases, we will cover the best practices, real world customer experience and what to watch out for when virtualizing the most critical SQL databases. The session is delivered by the author of the official SQL server on VMware best practices guide.

Abstract:
Are you facing a big SQL Server upgrade but are not quite sure how you will tackle it? In this presentation we will discuss what we learned during our 2008 R2 upgrade to SQL 2014. We will go through how we met our RTO, RCO, rollback, testing, and actual cutover process. We will utilize setting up and testing mirroring to move the data from 2008 to 2014. We will migrate the IP of the old 2008 cluster to the new 2014 cluster. This way no clients change their connection strings as DNS is not an option in this environment. Trans Replication will be set for rollback to the 2008 cluster in case we need to after going live. We will use the 'no init' option as we do not have time to create a snapshot and will protect the data during the upgrade to ensure no writes are conducted. Scripts and a background on transaction replication will be provided to show the end user how to start testing this process in their environment. Pre-cutover and Post-cutover tasks will also be discussed.

Speaker(s): Rob Girard,
Abstract:
SQL Server is a huge product, with many different places a DBA can go to look for information on how the server is performing. So many in fact that they can often overlap, which sometimes makes it hard to understand why tackling a new tool is worth the effort. In this installment of Rick's "Why should I care" series, he lays out a case for why working knowledge of the plan cache is critical for performance tuning efforts in real world environments. A review of relevant views and functions is included for the (newly?) motivated audience. Perfect for those who are relatively new to performance tuning concerns, or advanced DBAs trying to figure out how to have a similar conversation with their less experienced peers, or developers who are curious as to why their DBAs drink in the morning (allegedly). This is not a deep dive into the cache, it really is primarily a session exploring _why_ these DMOs are worth slogging through.

Revised 03/24/2000
This page contains a large collection of "models", or functions, that arise in linear and nonlinear curve fitting. For each function, there is a short description of the model, followed by a table showing what has to be entered into the curve fitting page. You can copy and paste the function from this page into the function box on the curve fitting page.
Lin1: Straight line. This is the classic least squares straight line. There are many web pages that fit straight lines. One reason for using the Nonlinear Curve Fitter is for the extra information it provides: parameter error estimates, confidence bands, etc.
Independent Variables: |
1 |
Parameters: |
2 |
Function to be fitted: y= |
a + b * x |
Initial Parameter Guesses: |
a=0, b=0 (convergence is guaranteed) |
Lin2: Straight line passing through the origin. This model does not include the "intercept", or "constant term". It should be used only when you know that the fitted line must pass through the origin.
Independent Variables: |
1 |
Parameters: |
1 |
Function to be fitted: y= |
a * x |
| Initial Parameter Guesses: | a=0 (convergence is guaranteed) |
Lin3: Horizontal Straight Line. This model is so trivially simple that it's almost never used. In fact, it hardly fits into the category of "curve fitting" because there's really no curve involved at all. Basically, you would be using the web page to compute simple "descriptive statistics" on a set of numbers.
Independent Variables: |
0 |
Parameters: |
1 |
Function to be fitted: y= |
a |
| Initial Parameter Guesses: | a=0 (convergence is guaranteed) |
Lin4: Parabola. This model can be used to test for significant non-linearity in the data (in which case the c parameter will be significantly different from zero).
Independent Variables: |
1 |
Parameters: |
3 |
Function to be fitted: y= |
a + b * x + c * x*x |
| Initial Parameter Guesses: | a,b,c=0 (convergence is guaranteed) |
Lin5: Polynomial. This fits any polynomial up to 7 order. The function below may not look like a polynomial because it is written in "factored" form, which is more efficient to compute than the usual form. Note: Never fit a parabola to data that "levels off" horizontally for large or small values of x.
Independent Variables: |
1 |
Parameters: |

I guess I must be getting old, because despite being a veteran psychonaut, I had never heard of salvia until this year. A hippie kid I met while playing pool in a bar introduced me to this amazing substance. We had gone back to his place after the bar had closed to drink more beer and smoke some pot. After a little while, he brought out the salvia, and loading up a bowl, he passed it to me. I asked what it would be like and he replied that I'd just have to find out for myself. He served as my sitter as I easily emptied the bowl of the bong with one huge toke. Nothing happened at first, and I continued talking my new friend's ear off, as I'm apt to do when I'm intoxicated and stoned.
Suddenly, my words started sounding strange and metallic, as if I had become a robot or a robot was speaking them inside my head. I had had a similar sensation with cocaine and heroin injected as a 'speed-ball' back in the days of my harder drug use. This felt more natural than the bad stuff though, but still I wondered fearfully if I wasn't perhaps experiencing a heart attack. After this initial fear subsided, I felt (but did not physically 'see') what I believed to be the energy of a giant serpent rushing by the reclining chair where I was sitting and into the kitchen behind me. I felt my body moving with it, unable to resist its pull. I nearly fell out of the chair and scrambled into the kitchen after this reptilian energy. Somehow, I felt that it was the snake from the garden of Eden and the story of Genesis, although I'm not a Christian.
The snake let me know without ever speaking that I had to remember the last words I had been speaking before the drug took effect, that it was somehow absolutely necessary that I recall them. I felt confused and unable to stop the feeling of needing to do what the snake was demanding of me. Finally, my friend reminded me of what I had been saying, and upon my repeating the words the snake's imperative had been completed. The tension subsided as the effects of the salvia begin to wear off.
I tried it several more times that evening, each high probably lasting fewer than five minutes. I experienced other hallucinatory phenomenon with each successive salvia trip, such as the perception that the lyrics of the music my friend had playing were changing to reflect what ever I was doing. 'Matt is getting up, Matt is standing, now Matt is walking,' they sang, for example. All in all, a powerful and I dare say sacred experience with what I've been told isn't even close to the more potent forms of salvia.

Enable the first checkbox below to prevent weakening the left side of assignments when the right side is not a type cast or new expression. When storing the result of a method call in a variable, it is useful to retain the type of the method call result instead of unnecessarily weakening it.
Enable the second checkbox below to use the parameterized type of the collection as weakest type when the object evaluated is used as an argument to a collection method with a parameter type of java.lang.Object. Use this option to prevent weakening to Object when passing an object to the collection methods get(), remove(), contains(), indexOf(), lastIndexOf(), containsKey() and containsValue().
Use the third checkbox below to specify if this inspection should warn when a type can be weakened to java.lang.Object. Weakening to java.lang.Object is often not very useful.

LSDK document - Knowledge Center
Layerscape Software Development Kit documentation can be accessed from the Knowledge Center.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Question: When building LSDK using Docker, what should the user do if he/she encounters errors like "Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'" caused by Docker DNS config?
Answer: To achieve permanent system-wide fix, the user needs to change the DNS settings of the Docker daemon. Implement the fix using the following command as an example:$ nmcli dev show | grep 'IP4.DNS'
Create a daemon configuration file in the directory /etc/docker/daemon.json like below:
IP4.DNS[1]: <IP_ADDRESS>{
Finally, restart docker service by using the command "sudo service docker restart"
"dns": ["<IP_ADDRESS>", "<IP_ADDRESS>"]
} - Question: On some boards which support DPAA1 network ports, what should the user do if he/she can't see the desired network interface using the command "ifconfig -a" in Linux due to the lack of MAC address in E2PROM flash or in the U-Boot environment variable?
Answer: Set MAC address in the U-Boot environment variable like below:=> setenv ethaddr 00:04:9F:00:00:00
The total number of MAC addresses must be no less than the total number of all network ports on the board.
=> setenv eth1addr 00:04:9F:00:00:01
=> setenv eth2addr 00:04:9F:00:00:02
=> setenv eth3addr 00:04:9F:00:00:03
...
=> saveenv - Question: When building Ubuntu rootfs in Flexbuild, what should the user do if the user interrupted the build proceeding in the midway unexpectedly, and an error such as "/usr/aptpkg/additional_packages_list_full: No such file or directory" occurs.
Answer: Run the command, "flex-builder -i clean-distrorfs -a" to clean the old incomplete distro rootfs directory, then rebuild it again. - Question: In the environment of some host machines, what should the user do if he/she encounters an error such as "mount: failed to setup loop device: No such file or directory".
Answer: Run the command, "sudo losetup -f" to setup /dev/loop* device. - Question: Where can the user find the Software Content Register?
Answer: The SCR of LSDK can be got from https://lsdk.github.io/ -> EULA (End User License Agreement) -> SCR. - Question: How to solve the distro boot failure issue if the similiar error log as below was observed during booting LSDK Ubuntu from SD/eMMC card?
VFS: Cannot open root device "PARTUUID=c2d6227c-03" or unknown-block(179,3): error -30
Answer: Make sure the SD/eMMC card is not locked as read-only as it needs write permissions to the SD/eMMC card on bootup. - Question: LSDK_1712 U-Boot and Linux kernel Ethernet failure on LS2088ARDB. Neither U-Boot nor Linux kernel Ethernet work "out of the box" in LSDK_1712. How to resolve the issue?
Answer: The root cause is two issues:- The Management Complex is not started by U-Boot variable mcinitcmd.
- The U-Boot command "fsl_mc lazyapply dpl..." does not work.
The problems can be worked around by changing two U-Boot environment variables, saving them, and resetting as follows.
Press a key to stop U-Boot from booting Linux and get a U-Boot prompt. Then enter the following commands to U-Boot being careful to avoid line breaks.
=> setenv mcinitcmd fsl_mc start mc 0x580a00000 0x580e00000 => setenv bootcmd 'env exists secureboot && esbc_validate 0x580700000 && esbc_validate 0x580740000 && esbc_validate 0x580780000; fsl_mc apply dpl 0x580d00000;run distro_bootcmd;run nor_bootcmd;env exists secureboot && esbc_halt' => saveenv => qixis_reset
The first setenv causes U-Boot to automatically load and start the Management Complex. This enables U-Boot Ethernet.The next setenv modifies bootcmd to remove "fsl_mc start mc..." since it is already done and changes "fsl_mc lazyapply dpl..." to "fsl_mc apply dpl..." to work around the issue with lazyapply.
Note that the MC firmware and Data Path Control file are not being secure boot validated prior to enabling U-Boot networking.
Note also that the "lazyzpply" command would normally be done in mcinitcmd rendering the "apply" command in bootcmd unnecessary, but this is not possible until the issue with "lazyapply" is fixed in a later release.
UEFI boot scenarios are not affected by these U-boot issues.
- Question: When using UEFI bootloader, does device tree blob (dtb) need to be updated to boot different Linux kernels?
Answer: Yes, When UEFI is used as bootloader, dtb file (stored in NOR/QSPI etc) should be updated to boot different Linux kernel Versions.For Example, to boot Linux 4.9 or 4.14 corresponding dtb file should be used OR else some feature may not work as expected.
- Question: Why do I get the following '401 Unauthorized' error when generating LSDK Ubuntu rootfs by 'flex-builder -i mkrfs'?

Answer: Generally, it is caused by incorrect HTTP proxy setting if the build machine is located in a subnet that needs a proxy to access external Internet, it can be resolved by setting HTTP proxy as below:
1. Add the following settings in ~/.bashrc as below
export http_proxy="http://<domain>\<username>:<password>@<URL>:<port>"
export https_proxy="http://<domain>\<username>:<password>@<URL>:<port>"
export no_proxy="localhost,<local-domain1><local-domain2>"
2. Add the following settings in /etc/wgetrc
http_proxy = "http://<domain>\<username>:<password>@<URL>:<port>"
https_proxy = "http://<domain>\<username>:<password>@<URL>:<port>"
3. Add the following settings in /etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire::http::proxy "http://<domain>\<username>:<password>@<URL>:<port>"
Acquire::https::proxy "http://<domain>\<username>:<password>@<URL>:<port>" - Question: Why does LSDK distro might boot fail after re-installing it onto the same storage device which had been deployed LSDK distro before?
Answer: flex-installer will skip the formatting of system partition-4 in which LSDK had been deployed to prevent damaging user's important data by default.
You can back up the important data in this partition if necessary, then format this partition and re-install it as below:
Example:
$ sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0p4 $ sudo parted -s /dev/mmcblk0 rm 4 $ flex-installer -i auto -m <machine> -d /dev/mmcblk0

The folder where you plan to deploy the service. This is documentation only, the system does not use this information or create this folder.
The Start and Stop command will be invoked from this folder. Artifacts and Module files will be copied to this folder. This folder (and sub-folders) are removed during a deployment, and maybe removed during a restart.
The folder where the service will persist data, if required. The data folder should not be a sub folder of the deployment folder.
Only files in this folder are guaranteed to remain across deployments and restarts. The data folder should not be a sub folder of the deployment folder.
Log files should be written to this folder so that they can be automatically collected. Log files must conform to the Log file specification for automatic collection. The logs folder should not be a sub folder of the deployment folder.
Log files are automatically collected on this schedule.
