So I'm sitting in Knowledge Management class now, where Dr. Stucke is proctoring for Dr. Gallivan, who is stuck in China somewhere.  We're about to watch a YouTube video, so I figured this is a good time to blog instead of taking my customary nap. I'm trying to link the Systems Integration class with the Knowledge Management class in my mind, maybe somebody has some ideas. First, my definition

I did small researches on Shibboleth in Wiki and Shibboleth's web site :Shibboleth (pronounced /ˈʃɪbəlɛθ/ or /ˈʃɪbələθ/) is any distinguishing practice which is indicative of one's social or regional origin. It usually refers to features of language, and particularly to a word whose pronunciation identifies its speaker as being a member or not a member of a particular group. The term originates

I want to share some random thoughts I have about Systems Integration while sitting on the couch eating M&Ms.  Here are some things I've learned that will forever change my view on integration. My first thought is that this is an extremely complex subject.  I never thought about systems integration much before coming into this class, but after taking this class and learning about the myriad of

China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) is one of the largest petroleum companies in China. Sinopec has recorded a strong financial performance in recent years. However, because of over high crude oil price, the company suffered loss in its 2008 fiscal year. Still, many portfolio managers desire to invest in Sinopec during 2009 and they need to take a look at its recent financial data to

Here I attached the video that Dr. Zheng suggested to upload in our blog. This video gives a very good example helping us to understand how abnormal data is analyzed in the existing database using SSIS' data profiling function.

Thanks to Dr.Zheng's suggestions on our presentation! And we will be able to focus more on a new topic on Data Warehouse. I did some preliminary researches on Data Warehouse and found that Data Warehouse is closely related to an important component of ERP systems - Online Analytical Processing (OLAP). Luckily, one of the groups provided us a vivid presentation on ERP system at the beginning of

Hi everyone, Dr. Zheng has asked us to publish the little handout that we handed out for our DB middleware presentation last week, and here it is: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfpw84nc_7cbr494f3 I think it would be useful if the groups import PPTs into Google Present (part of google docs) and then publish them so everyone can view the presentations before/after the presentations.  I think

(Readings Blog and Abstract combined per Dr. Zheng's request - mtm) Well, the MegaHotPot presentation is coming right up on Tuesday, and we're hammering out the last details.  We hope to live up to the great presentations that we've already heard from, and equally hope to set the standard for future presentations. For those who would like to do some readings before the presentation, we have

Our Middleware presentation is around the corner. To avoid dry out your interests, I would love to provide a little background info on this topic. Middleware works as "glue" between the operating system and the application. It allows one application interoperate with another software. No programmers need to understand internal process. Isn't that neat?I found two youtube videos which shows how

Since we heard a great presentation on ERP as it relates to systems integration tonight from Asha, Jimmy, and Rahul, and also since SAP was featured in the presentation, I thought it'd be relevant to post this youtube video for those who are unfamiliar with ERP. This video gives quite a nice overview to SAP and is under five minutes: Videos like this are abundant, and you can search for some

Security in SQL Server Integration Services consists of several layers that provide a rich and flexible security environment.These security layers include the use of digital signatures, package properties, SQL Server database roles, and operating system permissions. Most of these security features fall into the categories of identity and access control.

Integration Services will be used to solve complex business problems by copying or downloading files, sending e-mail messages in response to events, updating data warehouses, cleaning and mining data, and managing SQL Server objects and data. The packages can work alone or in concert with other packages to address complex business needs. Integration Services can extract and transform data from a
