I am trying to implement MSMDPump.dll on my web server to allow my users to connect to several cubes I have on a SSAS server. I was reading this article and it says I need to pull that file from (< drive >:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\\OLAP\bin\isapi), however on different servers I have different versions of this file (with different versions of SQL).
I would like to determine the differences between these files, however, when searching the web, I have not been able to find any release documentation. Does anyone know whether this information is posted publicly somewhere? If not, how would one determine the best version to use in their specific environment as well as the effects of using each version on my cube connection and the users of my application?

I am just a beginner in Oracle APPS Technical.And i am facing difficulty for identify the appropriate api for a particular requirement Lets say create a sales order.I googled it and i found a package called "oe_order_pub" that are used for creating sales order.So my question is how to identify appropriate package among multiple package?
The best place for you to go to is the Electronic Technical Reference Manuals (eTRM) located at etrm.oracle.com. This site outlines all the objects (packages, tables, views, etc.) that are available for Oracle Apps and how to use.
I'd also suggest the Oracle Developer Community which has a lot of Apps-specific problems and resolutions.
To access either site, you'll need an Oracle account (you'll definitely need this if you plan on being an Apps developer).
Microsoft Edge and other Microsoft products use an Extensible Storage Engine. If you have edge installed on windows, you can find the database file here:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_xxxxxxx\AC
\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\DataStore\Data\nouser1\xxxxxxxx\DBStore\spartan.edb
I would like to read this database from my .NET app.
The only tool I have seen for viewing this data appears to be deprecated:
http://www.woanware.co.uk/forensics/esedbviewer.html
I can't seem to find any relevant nuget packages for querying this type of database. Does anyone have experience working with this type of database?
The database engine is esent.dll, and you can access it in several different ways:
C API. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg269259(v=exchg.10).aspx
C#. https://github.com/microsoft/managedesent
Simplified C# (Isam layer). Easier to use, but not everything is exposed. https://github.com/Microsoft/ManagedEsent/tree/master/isam
(Disclosure: I've worked on the above products.)
That being said, if you just modify a random database, you can impact the host process's integrity, and it might end up crashing.
If you're a law-enforcement agent and it's for forensic purposes, Microsoft should be able to assist you (I haven't done it myself, but I've heard that they'll do it).

There are several tools that help to analyze the users behavior on your website. I would tend to divide them into ones that live on an own platform and which can be accessed through and API (like Google Analytics) and that ones that are to be installed on your own server (like Piwik).
I will launch a new web project soon, which requires such a tool and thus I wonder which one I should use. In my case I need to collect the data on my own server, so I will have to stick with the second type of tools. After playing around a little bit on my beta server I considered Piwik to be pretty nice to personalize, but until now, I had issues to set up piwik on the production server, because it is a windows server and the piwik version that is available at the webapp installer platform of windows server requires a different php version.
Installing Piwik on another - let's say - analytics server, is not an option for me, because I don't want to create all this https traffic, just because I am not able to set it up on my production server. And I also don't want to purchase another https certificate ;-).
I browsed the Windows Webapp Installer Platform in hope of something that just works out of the box in Windows. Similar questions like this also propose Google Analytics or Piwik. But this cannot be it, can it?
So..
Is there a tool which all you Windows Server people use?
Are there other tools that are used frequently?
Or even: Is it somehow possible to set up Piwik on a Windows Server without using The windows Web App Installer? I posted a related question here that focusses on the installation of piwik.
Logparser is a free tool from Microsoft that lets you throw direct SQL queries to the IIS Logs generated on your Web server. You may use it to query basic stats such as:
[1] From what ip-address range I get the maximum queries? (users' country-profile)
[2] What particular pages (aspx/html) are most frequently visited?
[3] At what time of the day, do I get the maximum requests?
I remember using this tool in one of my earlier projects, but the reason was to track down some performance issues. Also, the tool itself is console based, so you need to be familiar with command-line. However, a GUI front-end could be easily developed in a high-level language such as C#, I think there should be already some, that are free to download
I'm new to SVN. I've downloaded VisualSVN SErver and VisualSVN client with TortoiseSVN.
The problem is: we are group of 4 ppl and are developing a website on ASP.Net. I want the solution file to be in a repository on a machine which can be a server (desktop). The rest are all laptops trying to gather the updated data. We are working from different locations too. I want to know if Apache Subversion can work through the Internet? How can it be configured?
We are all running Windows and Visual Studio 2008.
I'm a little confused by your question (see my comment), but if you are wondering the best way to use SVN to manage the development of your ASP.NET website, I don't see why you can't include the solution file directly in the SVN repository. When your developers want to work on SVN, they sync with the repository and bring down the entire solution (including source, SLN file, properties, etc). Then, they can work locally on their machine developing the website.
Again, your question is a bit confusing, so I am not sure how else to answer.
Update
Thank you for clarifying your question. If the laptops do not have access to a local server you can do one of two things.
If you want to use Subversion, you can setup a server that is internet-facing - AKA, it's accessible from the net. However, this does require a little bit more work as you will need to have an address for them to point to, etc. But, in essence, this is no different than accessing on a local network, it's just a different address.
Another possibility is to use a different type of source control. Git or Mercurial comes to mind. Both of these products are distributed version control systems. Basically, if you aren't connected to a network, you still "submit" your product to the control system and, then, when you can connect back to the network, you merge your changes in with the main system on the network. It works very well (though is a bit more complicated to understand than Subversion).
Hopefully that helps you. (And, if it does, you can accept this as an answer to your question, which I would appreciate.)
Subversion is designed to work effectively through Internet. Updates/commits uses delta algorithm to transmit only changed parts of tree.
Just do not forget to enable SSL encryption to prevent data sniffed.
I developed an application that uses Delphi 7, ADO and ORACLE, the provider I use is OraOLEDB (I need use this provider because the BLOB fields support). now I want to distribute this application with the provider. I search the web to download the Oracle provider, but has a size of 174 mb. I need to install this file on all client machines ? there is a smaller distribution of this file?
UPDATE
i am looking for a lightweigth (small) distribution of the OraOLEDB.
Thanks in advance.
I would opt to let the user supply it's client library himself. You avoid problems where there might me different oracle OleDb versions for different Oracle versions, licensing issues, installation issues etc. etc.
As fas as I know you need the package of 170 MB+.
It seems the distribution license (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/popup-license/distribution-license.html) from that page allows you to redistribute the OleDB driver as long as you comply fully with that license. That is the official Oracle distribution - usually Oracle setups are large - if you don't want to include them on your distribution media you can simply point them to the download page.
Update: there is a smaller package in the InstanClient download page, look for Instant Client Package - ODAC here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html
I know a little bit about installing OLE DB providers, but I do not know anything about the Oracle provider, so this may not be practical. I see that the 174MB download includes a number of drivers (ODBC, .NET, OLE DB, etc.). I should be possible (but maybe not useful in the real world) to create your own distribution with the necessary files. One very nice thing about OLE DB is that it is typically "simple" to install. Running regsvr32 /i provider.dll will make the necessary registry updates to make it usable on a system. The providers I have used do not require a bucket full of registry hits like ODBC drivers often need.
So it might be possible to create your own distribution package. This site lists the files that are apparently necessary for the provider. I do not know if there are other "generic" files common to all Oracle client kits that might be necessary (that may be the part that would make this idea impractical).
This is the main problem when developing for oracle, except if you use ODAC, which has direct connection to oracle, without installing oracle client on clients' machines.
and it's much faster than using ADO or OLE DB providers.
Distributing Oracle client application can be a nightmare, even more today when you have 64 bit Windows.
Which version of the Client would you have to install? You need a 32 bit version for your Delphi application. But what if other programs do need having access to the 64 bit version? You need several ORACLE_HOME, with duplicated settings, or force you DotNet code to run in 32 bit mode.
I first wrote a Delphi wrapper using OleDB, then I realized how difficult it was to deploy it when using the Oracle DB. The same exact issue as yours...
Then I wrote a dedicated version, calling directly the OCI library. Speed was there (2 to 5 times faster than OleDB), with easy deployment.
You can use the latest version of the Oracle Instant Client provided by Oracle - see this download link - which allows you to run your applications without installing the standard (huge) Oracle client or having an ORACLE_HOME. Just deliver the dll files in the same directory than your application, and it will work.
The drawback of this solution is that it's not compatible with the DB aware components. But if you are using TQuery directly, then map the results in Delphi classes, it could be a great solution.
