• SQL Server Does creating KPI require cube reprocess?

  The Analysis Service help says that after creating a KPI you need to process the cube in order to browse it. However, that's not the behavior I'm seeing - it looks like the KPI becomes available immediately. What behavior should I be expecting here The Books Online is being incorrect in this case. You dont need to re-process your cube after creating KPI's. Edward. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Register for multiple users

  Hi I downloaded and installed VC++ EE to my XP Pro SP2 PC. I did this whilst logged on with Admin rights. I registered and saved the key that I received in a .txt file. I use the PC on a day-to-day basis whilst logged on with Limited rights and, when I tried to use VC++, it said that I needed to register. I used the same key that I'd used when I registered with Admin rights but it was rejected. I was under the impression that I could register the software several times, if necessary. How do I go about registering the software for use as a Limited user Do I have to get a further key from MS If I do and register with Lim ...Show All

Im using Framework 1.1, no additional stuff (like WSE) installed. Only known users are allowed to access the webservice. The server is configured to handle these bigger requests by adding maxRequestLength="40960" and executionTimeout="3600" to its web.config httpRuntime-Node. To reduce the number of requests sent by the client, i set the PreAuthenticate-prope ...Show All
