Many vendors such as Microsoft with Sharepoint and Dynamics have made it impossible to access database tables directly in newer versions as they convert to Software as Service (SAS) offerings.
I am working with PTC Windchill and have developed extensive Oracle SQL Layer ETL processing. Is this a future proof practice within the context of this product line? Or in the future will I be required to work through some sort of DAL. If so, is there a recommended practice?
The information available from Windchill for Cloud appear vague and mostly suggesting to me virtualizion at the infrastructure layer, suggesting I would be able to query at the database layer for many years to come. Any confirmation, pointers or feedback would be appreciated.
Windchill offers extensive APIs for data access (and customization) in java. Starting from version 11.0, There are also some soap and rest web service for data access , but not for everything. It is always better to use API, they offer Data Abstraction Layer in a supported way. PTC would recommend that you refer to a consultant for this job.
But if you want to try:
There is a huge documentation about Windchill Customization, you can also create your own web services in java to access the data you want, if standard web services does not suffice. a starting point can be the Windchill help, and the javadoc located in the windchill server in this folder:
WINDCHILL_HOME/codebase/wt/clients/library/api/index.html
there are also some examples:
WINDCHILL_HOME/prog_examples
more documentation and appropriate training is available on https://support.ptc.com, only for registered customer users.

For a school project we need to develop a webhosting service for PHP and MySQL applications using a stack that consists of these technologies:
Linux
Apache
PHP
Drupal
MySQL
My question is, for small scale web apps.
What types of basic functionalities would you require for a service like this?
How would we go about this?
What is essential (as a web developer) using services like this?
What would you need access to, what would you like to change?
Every individual web app should be isolated as there will be multiple users (shared hosting). This should be achieved with an API, and we are not allowed to make an interface to interact with the endpoints.
We need to gather this information for a school project and would be very appreciative of your help as this is the baseline we will be creating our project from!
Thanks in advance.

Have any body integrated ERP with magento like (SAP,Jd edwards) .
IS It Possible?
What things one must know to integrate ERP system with magento?
I can tell from JDE Side.
If you are using Latest Version of JD Edwards then you can use Business Services in JD Edwards these are written into JAVA.
If you are using older versions of JDE which does not support its little complicated. You need to populate records in Table which can use by both JDE and Magento and use scheduler Reports to upload data in JDE (using EDI Module may be).
You need to define strategy how you are going to pass data to and from Magento to JDE and keep them in Synch (Order Data and Inventory data and Advanced Pricing). This step is important because you need to keep in mind that magento and JD Edwards both have there separate Order management, Inventory Management and Advanced Pricing Module.
I have seen lot of failure when it comes to JDE or SAP talking with External Systems which has their own similar module.
JD Edwards is really complex ERP so dont even think about or passing data by yourself. You will need functional Expert who knows about functional aspects and JDE Technical who can handle business Service task and knows how to use JD Edwards Tool set.
Hope this is Helpfull :)
Yes, it's possible. There is many different ways to integrate them. Anyway, you will have to write code on the ERP side or on the Magento side or on both sides together. Magento has an API to create products, orders etc. More of Magento API can be found here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/support/magento_core_api
You should be able to use Application Interface Server and Business Services Server to make inbound REST/SOAP calls and use Real Time Events for outbound calls to integrate JDEdwards EntepriseOne with third party system like magento. review the JDE Introperability guide.

I was wondering if any of you know an Amazon version of cloud sites from rackspace. I know they have services similar to cloud servers and files but not this?
Basically, I'm looking for a scalable web server managed by them, *** but (this is what cloud sites can't do) I want to still be able to do things in the backend and install other apps etc.. (like my own server)?
thanks
Amazon does not offer any managed hosting services. What they provide is infrastructure-as-a-service, the barebones level services for building on top of. They offer no management services. This stuff is meant for low level developers / system administrators to build the higher level systems on, not your average web hosting customer.
Amazon's new Elastic Beanstalk offers something closer to Rackspace Cloud Sites, but is currently limited to Java sites.
I have a new Platform as a Service (SaaS) in the works to offer multiple languages/frameworks on top of AWS to the general public. Check it out...

The question itself is very tricky. But I'll try to break it down into pieces.
Let's say I have external datasources each of them providing my data model. Either a webservice, or database. What matters is that my Entities are defined and exists in separated systems than the Dynamics builtin database.
What I want to do is to use the capabilities of CRM, to handle Business Entities (Provided from the external source), aspects such as security, and UI. Are well managed inside the CRM. So I want to build my system, using this tool, but I want to be able to store and keep the data in my own sources.
In other words, is there a way in CRM (Through the webServices I believe), in which I can provide the entity, and have it managed later inside the CRM.
thanks in advance... I really hope I can find the answer here.
The only option you have is to synchronize the data stored inside Dynamics CRM database with your external sources.
With tools like Scribe from Scribesoft, this scenario is manageable.
About 50% of the functionality of MS CRM is implemented via rather convoluted SQL views/queries/stored functions etc. It is much more then a simple "table per entity type" data store. There is no way to keep live data "somewhere else", so you are stuck with import/export (as recommended in the previous answer).

It seems that licensing terms would prevent us from using Google Maps API in our software. We would prefer to be absolutely free open source and Google Maps API will require commercial license if our software is sold (correct me if I am wrong - I will delete this question then :-).
So the question is if there are alternative map APIs for GWT?
Openlayers is free software, http://openlayers.org/; it has a GWT plugin here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gwt-openlayers/
As far as Google's License (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html):
10.9 use the Service or Content with any products, systems, or applications
for or in connection with:
(a) real time navigation or route
guidance, including but not limited to
turn-by-turn route guidance that is
synchronized to the position of a
user's sensor-enabled device; (b) any
systems or functions for automatic or
autonomous control of vehicle
behavior; or (c) dispatch, fleet
management, business asset tracking,
or similar enterprise applications
(the Google Maps APIs can be used to
track assets (such as cars, buses or
other vehicles) as long as the
tracking application is made available
to the public without charge. For
example, you may offer a free, public
Maps API Implementation that displays
real-time public transit or other
transportation status information.
If your Maps API Implementation is deployed internally or you are
charging for use of your Maps API
Implementation, please contact the
Google Maps API Premier sales team for
more information);
My advice would be to contact Google and ask them about your specific set of circumstances. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
If you are looking for full open data you might want to check out OpenStreetMap.org they list in their FAQ where they pull their open data from.
I'm not an expert, but a quick google found GWT-Ext, where it looks like they're using OpenStreetMap data which is free to use in a commercial application.
