==============================
Through the command prompt (cmd) in Windows Server 2008 R2 (it might also be possible in other versions of Windows) it is possible to run a command as another user.
You can use the command ‘runas’.
Defining an operating system scheduling server in the metadata repository
Associating the operating system scheduling server with a spawner definition
It might also be nessessary to allow inbound connections in OS firewall on port 8451 (this port might be different on your SAS-system).
When partitioning tables in Microsoft SQL-server 2008 you could get this error when your trying to move to the next step after mapping your partitions.
The number of filegroups or range values is not valid. Enter an extra filegroup in addition to the number of boundary values.
Your partition mapping will probably look something like this.
The error occurs because you haven’t choosen a filegroup for the last empty partition (the one after 2011). Your partition mapping should look like this.
In SQL the partition function will look like this.
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [<pf_Year>](varchar
AS RANGE RIGHT
FOR VALUES (N’2007′, N’2008′, N’2009′, N’2010′, N’2011′)
This SQL-sentence will first of all create a table (destinationtable) containing variable1, variable2 and variable3. Into the destinationtable it will make a tablesample from 10 percent of the observations in the soucetable.
SELECT [variable1]
,[variable2]
,[variable3]
into [databse].[schema].[destinationtable]
from [database].[schema].[sourcetable]
tablesample (10 percent)
You could eg. use tempdb (a temporary database in Microsoft SQL-server) to store the sample.
This SQL-sentence helps you find the tables with enabled or disabled indexs.
I haven’t been able to find this information through SSMC.
SELECT name, is_disabled FROM sys.indexes
where is_disabled = 1
These commands will clear the cache from Microsoft SQL-server. It can be used during test to emulate runing a query against a “cold” server. A server where the cache hasn’t been filled with data.

Incorporating the DevExpress components in your executable can be done using ILMerge. In my case ILMerge is run through a .bat-file and works like this :
.\ILMerge\ILMerge.exe /targetplatform:v4 /target:winexe /out:.\OutputDir\mss.exe mss.exe .\DevExpress\DevExpress.BonusSkins.v11.1.dll .\DevExpress\DevExpress.Data.v11.1.dll
.\DevExpress\DevExpress.OfficeSkins.v11.1.dll .\DevExpress\DevExpress.Printing.v11.1.Core.dll
.\DevExpress\DevExpress.Utils.v11.1.dll .\DevExpress\DevExpress.XtraEditors.v11.1.dll
It takes mss.exe and the DevExpress DLL’s and merges them into one executable .\OutputDir\mss.exe
Right after that .\OutputDir\mss.exe is compressed using 7zip.
.\7zip\7z.exe a .\OutputDir\mss.zip .\OutputDir\mss.exe
And finally it is transferred to the website using WinSCP. I’m using Windows XP and as far as I know the build in ftp-client doesn’t support passiv FTP. I believe that ftp-clients in later versions of Windows does support passiv FTP. So if your using a later version than XP of Windows. You can do essentially the same thing with the build in ftp-client. But if your using XP and is connecting to a passiv FTP-server, you can use WinSCP.
.\FTP\winscp.exe /script=”.\FTP\script.txt”
Script.txt looks like this:
open <session in WinSCP>
option confirm off
put “.\OutputDir\MSS.ZIP” “/Programs/MSS.ZIP”
exit
“Options confirm off” lets you overwrite a file without being prompted. You also need to create a session in WinSCP (GUI) or else you will get the following message:
Automatic actions are disabled when URL address is provided on command-line.
