The demand for external users to connect the cube is being heard very often.

For example : Domain A users will connect to domain B cubes. After testing it with my colleges, this is the possibilities I have summarized:

1. using Threat Management Gateway (TMG) Server as a Reverse Proxy. We will also need a solid Kerberos implementation.
The process is described very well in this whitepaper; http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg128954.aspx

2. We can use the SSAS access via http. The technique is described in this document: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492140.aspx.

For any other ideas, Please comment here and elaborate !!!

Thanks.

new Upgrade Assistant for SQL Server 2012 (UAFS) has RTW’ed. UAFS is shipped as a free web-downloadable tool.  It performs application compatibility testing and detects potential functional and performance issues that may impact a database upgrade from an earlier version of SQL Server (SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2) to SQL Server 2012. Comparing to the early version of Upgrade Assistant tool, UAFS significantly enhances replay scalability and performance by building on top of SQL Server 2012 Distributed Replay (D-Replay) feature, which is the first released application that demonstrates the value of D-Replay in a practical application.  In addition, UAFS provide a user-friendly configuration interface as well as enhanced reporting and analysis features.

Report Highlights

· Statistic Info: Summary info in the report provides user an intuitive knowledge of the playback success rate and performance diff between Baseline Server & Test Server

· Enhanced filter capability: Filter & error category enable user to narrow down the playback resultset and improve analysis efficiency

· View events: Locate the same event sequence to allow user to do 1:1 comparison and analysis.

Well, in order to understand what makes the dashboard work and how can we understand what the hell we see, I decided to take a flight course. Perhaps pilots understand it better.

So, no doubt that external “things” impact what you want to see or what you want to show.

Either way, at the first lesson, I understood that to understand dashboards, it take time and the biggest lesson is that you have to trust your self, your knowledge and your organization
