TFS Hidden Workspace Solution

-           

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/226288/team-build-error-the-path-is-already-mapped-to-workspace

	Q: When creating a new build in Team Foundation Server, I get the following error when attempting to run the new build: The path C:\Build\ProductReleases\FullBuildv5.4.2x\Sources is already mapped to workspace BuildServer_23. I am unable to see a workspace by that name in the workspaces dialog.

A: Use the command line utility TF - Team Foundation Version Control Tool (tf). You can get a list of all workspaces by bringing up a Visual Studio Command Prompt then changing to your workspace folder and issuing the following commands: C:\YourWorkspaceFolder>tf workspaces /owner:* You should see your problem workspace in the list as well as it's owner. You can delete the workspace with the following command: C:\YourWorkspaceFolder>tf workspace /delete /server:BUILDSERVER WORKSPACENAME;OWNERNAME

To see, the user must be in the SQLAgentReaderRole or SQLAgentUserRole, to start them the user must be in the SQLAgentOperaterRole. As these only exist in MSDB then the user must also be a member there.

IIS6 Max Buffer Output Size

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925764

Increase the AspBufferingLimit value in the metabase or ...

Method 4: Increase the buffer limit

You can increase the buffering limit if one of the following conditions is true:

• The client is not a Web browser.
• You cannot redesign the application to take advantage of a paging technology, such as the GridView class.

If you must increase the buffer limit, select a buffer limit that allows for the largest known response size. If you do not know the largest response size in advance, you can increase the buffer limit to a large value during testing. After you finish testing, use the largest value that is in the sc-bytes field in the IIS log file for the response that is generated for the page.

To increase the buffering limit, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
   cd /d %systemdrive%\inetpub\adminscripts
3. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
   cscript.exe adsutil.vbs SET w3svc/aspbufferinglimit LimitSize
   Note LimitSize represents the buffering limit size in bytes. For example, the number 67108864 sets the buffering limit size to 64 MB.

To confirm that the buffer limit is set correctly, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
   cd /d %systemdrive%\inetpub\adminscripts
3. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
   cscript.exe adsutil.vbs GET w3svc/aspbufferinglimit
    

Tool for Scripting View Generation

/******************************************************************************
Joe Kelly
2013-08-29 13:54:01.987
ScriptGen.sql

Given two databases, source and dest, this script will generate a READ ONLY
view in dest for each table or view in source.

Note:

    - Existing schema.object definitions in dest will be overwritten

    - If one tries to update one of the read only views an error as follows
      will be generated:

        Update or insert of view or function 'abc' failed because it
        contains a derived or constant field.

      this is due to the intentional ambiguity introduced to the view by a
      union on the same object with a predicate of where 1 = 0

    - Columns are not named because on larger objects the buffer can be
      exceeded resulting in syntax errors (yes, it would better to do the
      concatenation in an external program)

    - For easier testing change the rowcount set

To Use:

    Set the Custom variables and execute in text mode or to file, apply output carefully

        @sourceDB SYSNAME = 'test'
    ,    @destDB SYSNAME = 'test2'
    ,    @sourceSchema SYSNAME = 'dbo'
    ,    @destSchema SYSNAME = 'someSchema'

Classic ASP DB Conn Cheat

For those time when you gotta go back but don't want to make it too bad...

Scenario: Classic ASP ap (perhaps mixed with .net) that has BO layer in ActiveX dll's (VB, of all things). You want perform some follow-up work after the dll method has run.

We could parse web.config for the connection string and then reformat for ADO ... or we could just use a separate connection string and store it in an include file:
