It’s been fun following the progress on this:
The “Impossible” Tech Behind SpaceX’s New Engine
When you insist on going out, but won’t admit that 8 inches of snow is too much…
We had a lot of fun with our friends from Korea this year. Listen to a Pleasant Ridge podcast with Jordan and others involved with this year’s trip: https://pleasantridgewaldorf.org/2-1-19-korean-visit-interview/
Adyn ready for a winter camping expedition lead by a senior from YIHS. I hope they kept warm last night! Of course a story about the Dyatlov Pass incident came across my feed yesterday…
Mixed feelings about the possibility of 2 feet of snow over the next week…
Surprised to find my name was available on Twitter. Couldn’t create a developer account yet, so POSSE will have to wait for now.
New Features: Data Services 4.2 SP7
There are a couple of interesting new features in Data Services 4.2 Support Pack 7.
Template table indexes for SQL Server template tables
Starting with version 4.2 SP7 Patch 1, you can create indexes for SQL Server template tables and define which columns the software uses to create the index. The index can be clustered, non-clustered, or unique.
When you create a template table, the software creates an index for that table, which you can edit by going to Properties –> Indexes. You can edit template table indexes created from supported datastores only (SQL Server). For more information, see “Template table indexes” in the Designer Guide.
Microsoft Azure PaaS and Azure VM support on SQL Server
In this release, Data Services adds support for Azure platform as a service (PaaS) and Virtual Machines (VMs) on Microsoft SQL Server databases a new option for datastore subtype. For more information, see “Microsoft SQL Server” in the Datastore section of the Reference Guide.
SSL encryption for SAP HANA and Microsoft SQL Server database datastores
Add the security of SSL encryption for both SAP HANA and Microsoft SQL Server databases with this release of SAP Data Services. SSL encrypts data that is transmitted across a network between the database server and SAP Data Services. Create a database datastore with SSL enabled and use it as a source or target in a data flow.
For example, confgure your Microsoft SQL Server database for SSL, and then create a Microsoft SQL Server database datastore with SSL enabled. When you use the datastore in a data flow, data transmits from the database server to SAP Data Services with the added security of SSL encryption.
Testing out an image post. We had a nice visit from our friends from Korea; I hope they enjoyed winter in Wisconsin!
