Silent Install of MicroStrategy 9.3.0

Create a batch file "install.bat" (name does not matter) with the following command line:

"Path_to_setup_file\setup.exe" -L0009 --ResponseFile="Path_to_setup_file\response.ini" -f1"Path_to_setup_file\setup.iss" -f2"c:\setup.log"

Path_to_setup_file above should be replaced with actual path to the setup.exe for the version you are trying to uninstall. The setup files can be located on remote server. Make sure to provide a proper fully qualified UNC path. Use the below response file. Response file should be named response.ini and should be saved in the same location as setup.exe. Below script only installs Desktop and Narrowcast. If you would like to install additional components, make necessary changes. Also notice that the below script will force a reboot of your system. Most errors encountered during installation will be logged in c:\setup.log. Again, feel free to change the location of the setup.log file.

Using SQL To Calculate XIRR (Internal Rate of Return)

Thanks to binaryworld.net , I was finally able to get a sql way to calculate XIRR. After 2 long hours of search I found this site and the logic as well as the code works perfectly well! XIRR is a function in excel that calculates Internal Rate of Return based on payments/income over a period of time. Without further ado, here is the code (a slightly modified version from BinaryWorld.net. Happy XIRRing! -- First, CREATE XIRR Table to store values CREATE TABLE XIRRTempData( amt float, dt datetime, guid varchar(128) ) go create function dbo.XIRR( @d datetime, @GUID varchar(128) ) returns decimal(18,10) as begin /* USAGE: select @IRR = dbo.xirr(null, guid) select @IRR IRR, @IRR * 100 'IRR %' Note: Leave the first parameter (date) null if you wish to see the XIRR calculated as of the maximum date in the dataset provided else provide a specific date to see the XIRR calculated as the given date.

Alternating Row Background Color For SSRS Matrix (Pivot Table)

I had a tough time to apply alternate row colors to a SSRS Matrix and finally figured out! Without further ado, here it is... Assume you have a matrix with more than 1, lets say 2 row groupings; RG1 and RG2. 1. Right-click on RG2 (innermost row group), and select "Insert Group"; for simplicity call it "RowColorGroup" 2. In the "Group On" section, add some constant value - for example ="" or ="ankeet" etc... you get the idea! 3. Select the newly created group "RowColorGroup" and enter the following in its "Value" property: =iif(RunningValue(Fields!RG1.Value & Fields!RG2.Value,CountDistinct,Nothing) Mod 2, "LightSteelBlue", "White") 4. Select the "BackgroundColor" property of "RowColorGroup" and enter "=Value" 5. Set the width of "RowColorGroup" to 0pt and "CanGrow" to false 6. Select the data cell(s) and set their "BackgroundColor" pro...

cannot create a column accessor for OLE DB provider "ibmdasql" for linked server

I have a linked server from Microsoft SQL 2008 to a DB2 server. Today when I tried to run a SELECT statement based on the linked server, I hit this error, "cannot create a column accessor for OLE DB provider "ibmdasql" for linked server". Earlier in the day, we had restarted the SQL Server Service. Running the following script on the 'affected' sql server should fix the issue. USE [master] GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE PROC [dbo].[usp_enum_oledb_providers] AS exec sp_enum_oledb_providers GO sp_procoption 'usp_enum_oledb_providers', 'startup', 1 Restart the sql server service after running above script.
