GIT - to send your files to git.





  git push origin master


I'll be honest with you. I don't think git is a very intuitive tool.

Message to Jeff Bezos about CreateSpace website.

I'm sorry to say that, but you are a billionaire company but still this website https://www.createspace.com is not good. How can that be?
All this money and it seems sometimes that you are testing us. What for?
We just want to publish books. That's all.
CreateSapce interface was designed to make us crazy.
Performance is not good, and how that can be? You are the pioneer of cloud computing, how can you have a website with such poor performance for GOD sake?
Jeff Bezos, you are rich beyond comprehension, can't you spend some miserable dollars to make this website https://www.createspace.com better?

Best regards,

Daniel.

Some considerations - Sybase, VB6, Crystal Reports, Windows 8

Is Sybase, VB6, Crystal Reports and Windows 8 a feasable scenario?

You should get rid of VB6 and Crystal Reports as soon as possible, but yes, all together they work.

With a lot of problems but they work.

Remember SAP owns Sybase and Crystal. They will tell you that if the scenario above is your scenario, then you are in deep s*t (like me).


Does Crystal Reports 8 works with Windows 8? Yes, with a lot of limitations. Again, get rid of this version as soon as possible. Migrate to XI.

What is the minimum version of Sybase Client suitable for Windows 8? Version 15. That's it.
 But there's a catch. There's no more a ODBC driver. Don't try to force an ODBC driver, ok? Instead, you'll have to figure out how to work with the driver Adaptive Server.

What if I decide to migrate all my reports to Reporting Services (rdl format)?
That's the one million dollars question.

1 - RPT Crystal Reports can't be converted to RDL. There's no magical machine that will do that to you. You'll have to rebuild the reports from scratch (Oh, that was cruel, I know).

2 - Sybase Store Procedures and Reporting Services don't work well together. It seems that there's something in the DNA of Sybase Database that hates Microsoft technology. So, if you are using Sybase and you want to try Reporting Services, you will probably have a lot of weird problems (at least, that's my experience).

3 - There are complicated issues related to ODBC and OLEDB when it comes to Reporting Services. Sometimes the server application don't recognize the drivers installed in the server macine. In my case, the server application couldn't recognize the adaptive driver of Sybase.

OK, and what is the solution!!!! That's what you are screeming right now. Well, I don't know. I didn't mirate. I'm struggle with my scenario and doing the best I can.
All I can do is share my experience with you so you save time (and money).

And that's it folks!
