Windows 7 crashes are a major problem Microsoft users have been clamoring about lately. The system crashes randomly – right after login, in the middle of playing a game, while working on a file, and during web surfing, among others. Some users call this glitch the “black screen of death” where the screen of their computer will turn to black and eventually crash. The Windows 7 crash can be very frustrating, but there are ways to fix the problem.

1. Upgrade your memory or RAM. All software installed in your computer requires a certain amount of Random Access Memory (RAM) in order to run properly. Besides these applications, your operating system requires resources to run. To let these applications run smoothly without the crashing, free up some space or upgrade your memory.
2. Remove Spyware and Viruses. Make sure to always perform a scan to check for spyware and virus infections. There may be hidden and dormant malware in your computer. Delete these malicious files from your system. Always keep your computer updated with the latest virus definitions and security updates.
3. Fix Windows 7 Registry. The registry is a database which stores records of all your computer’s activities. It contains settings and options that Windows continually references during operation. Over time, more and more data are added into the registry making it congested with redundant entries. These entries are no longer valid thus causing crashes especially in newer operating systems like Windows 7.

A cleaned registry can help fix the crashing problems. This is, however, impossible to do manually because most people can’t pinpoint which registry entries are valid or not. You need to have a registry cleaner installed. This software will deep scan your registry and clean those obsolete and invalid entries. It will also create a backup before cleaning so you can always restore your registry to its original state if you need to.

By following the tips mentioned above especially the last one, you can improve your computer’s speed, optimize its performance, and completely eliminate Windows 7 crash.

Cloud Computing is reported as set to revolutionise the business environment, particularly, the way we use information technology products and services.

Could it be the next stage in outsourcing, which certainly gripped the Information technology arena in the last ten years and saw companies essentially outsourcing all their software development/IT support requirements to off shore and even on shore companies to allegedly reduce cost.

Whether these companies derived the so called cost benefits and still maintained quality is highly debatable.

Along comes Cloud Computing which essentially postulates that you can pay for IT services as a utility, on a pay as you use basis hosted in a cloud. Essentially another form of outsourcing where this time you pay a provider to either use their software applications via the Internet (Google APPS is an example) and is known as Software as a service (SaaS). Or to use their Platform as a service (PasS) to build and host your web based application (Google Engine is an example). Or to use their Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) which essentially allows you to pay a provider to host an image of your application negating the need for you to own your own servers, (Amazon EC2 is an example of this kind of service).

Before signing up to any of the services, it is important that a company clearly understand the costs benefits, identify and implement an entry and exit strategy or plan capturing how to move to another vendor if it becomes necessary or to bring back the service in house.

Hosting sensitive data off site must also need to be considered very carefully and the need to ensure that no regulatory requirements are breached or the customer data act is adhered to in any such implementation. Non mission critical systems are probably the best ones to consider first to be implemented in the cloud.

Test and Development Environments

Of particular interest must be the IaaS, because companies spend a significant part of their yearly IT budget (sometimes as much 30 to 40%) on purchasing new hardware to host new applications, in response to new business requirements.

The cost of maintaining such hardware can also be quite expensive from software licensing to support costs etc.

Test and Development environments which are not necessarily mission critical, (since they are not live environments), can certainly be procured on a pay as you use basis with little or minimal risk, which could significantly reduce IT spending by as much as half or a quarter.

As proven with virtualisation, building test and development environments becomes an easily repeatable process and likened to a factory floor where environments are rolled out on demand.

The same principle will apply to having your development and test environments in the Cloud using the IaaS module and the benefits are as follows;

• Test and development environments tend to be required for fixed periods of time through the lifecycle of a Project and are left idle at other times. You only pay to use these environments when you need to, which can significantly reduce IT spending.

• The effort and time required to set up test and development environments is significantly reduced, as you only need to access your server via the cloud and create your own environments. There is no need to wait for three weeks for the server to be delivered, another two weeks to be set up in the data centre etc.

• The cost of support, from setting up the server in the data centre, configuring it, installing the operating system, installing other security and monitoring software, setting it up on your LAN etc

• The effort required to decommission and re-use these test environments is also minimal.

• Since live data (de – sensitised data can be used on the other hand) is normally not used for testing or development there are no regulatory requirements to adhere to.

• Most IaaS cloud computing vendors offer 99/100% up time, back up facilities, monitoring etc which ensures that once your environments are created, you only need to focus on carrying out your development and testing.

• A company can embark on several IT Projects at any one time, because there is no longer the constraint of available hardware (or rather the need to provision more hardware) to host test and development environments.

Efficiently provisioning, building, managing and scheduling your test/development environments certainly contributes significantly to the success or failure of IT Software Projects.

Paying for your infrastructure as a service at least, eliminates the effort and cost of provisioning, installing and supporting the hardware to host your test and development environments.

Microsoft Dynamics GP is SQL Server based application, which opens its resources to SQL Server DBA. Plus you should be aware about Great Plains Dynamics initial architecture, which is Great Plains Dexterity, where first level of event viewing should occur, prior to diving to the SQL Server Performance tuning and events log depth.  In this small publication we would like to review Dexterity level of monitors:

1.       Dex.ini file.  If you got Great Plains upgrade issues, or consistent error messages coming from GP user, which do not allow you to continue normal operation, you should locate Dex.ini file in Dynamics GP (for version 10.0 in Data subfolder) and make the following changes

SQLLogSQLStmt=TRUE

SQLLogODBCMessages=TRUE

SQLLogAllODBCMessages=TRUE

If you make these changes to Dex.ini file, Great Plains User Workstation will create dexsql.log file in Dynamics GP folder.  You should come to the point of getting error message or stacking situation in GP and then just copy this file to cut the bottom of it, where it logs the problem description and in good like scenario the reasons

2.       SQL Server Book online.  Here you can find the description to SQL based error message

3.       GPS_SQL_ERROR_CODES table in Dynamics Database.  Here you can find Dynamics GP Great Plains related errors and their causes if documented in Descriptions

4.       Appealing to Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical support.  MBS tech support works by case schema, meaning that if you are current in GP annual enhancement program and you have Deluxe plus support with unlimited cases per year, you can enjoy free case-by-case support, please check your support level with your Great Plains VAR or Microsoft Business Solutions directly.  If you on budget annual enhancement program, you will have discounted price for each case and you should manage Microsoft technicians to close the case only when case is resolved to your satisfaction

5.       Getting Great Plains Technical support from your Great Plains Reseller.  Your Great Plains Partner is likely more familiar with your Great Plains implementation, customization, integration, custom reporting, data conversion and modified reports.  Opposite to Microsoft, where you pay by case, to your Great Plains consultants you typically pay by hours

SB1, which is unofficial abbreviation for SAP Business One small and mid-size business ERP from SAP is relatively new application and it was designed and programmed with the likely contemporary business models requirements. If you are planning to implement SAP B1 for ecommerce outlet, you should first work on the best scenario selection. Let us give you initial highlights, for further implementation design you should submit your specific case for analysis and recommendations:

1. eCommerce module. If you are launching everything from the ground or if you have really obsolete web site, then you may consider doing it on SB1 ecommerce platform. In this case you do not need to worry about standard ecommerce features, such as shopping cart, catalog, pricing (however if you practice advanced and seasonal price lists and promotions, some additional settings and possibly custom features might be recommended), as all these standard features will be available in integrated module

2. Established ecommerce site. In this scenario, more likely the idea of slashing existing site and redeploying everything on your new ERP platform has less feasibility. You, and your decision makers in IT will be more inclined to re-connect or remap your existing shopping cart and electronic order to your SB1 back end. In this case you will need SAP Business One SDK programming work, which is very common and you are not the first who needs it and many already took this route. Often we hear the question – doe connectors exist as of-the-shelf products? The answer is – yes and no, as the connection often involves programming touch at your e-commerce application, and so the value of the vanilla connector should be analyzed

3. Platform overview. If you are ecommerce developer, you should know that SB1 is available for Microsoft SQL Server and it opens you SQL for querying and various reporting, if you are not comfortable to invest into SDK training and learning curve. These querying techniques might be utilized for down the road integration support and advancements. For example, querying maybe feasible, if you are designing order status on-demand report for e-commerce customer self service

Patients generally judge their medical care by how quickly they can get in and out of a doctor’s office, the bedside manor of the staff and the level and accuracy of care. According to the American Medical Association, it is the office receptionist’s duty to ask patients a series of questions to help doctor’s and nurses give their patient proper care.

1. What is your full name and how is it spelled? In order to verify insurance coverage, providers require the patient’s full legal name, spelled correctly.
2. What is the purpose of the appointment? You will need to know about how much time an appointment will take. If lab work and x-rays will be required, a sufficient block of time should be reserved for that patient.
3. Do you have insurance? If so, what is the name of your provider? This information is necessary to verify that the patient has current coverage and to determine their co-pay and deductible due at the time of the visit. Check with the accounting staff to what additional information, such as the patient’s date of birth and current address, is required.
4. When did you last have a doctor’s appointment? Always verify that a patient has accurate contact and insurance information.
5. What is your age? If the patient is a minor, which parent’s insurance plan covers them and what is their contact information? How is their name spelled? Who is responsible for decisions about the child’s care and which parent will bring the child in?
6. What is your work and home phone number and what is the preferred method of contact? If your office gives confirmation calls, this information is very important. It is also useful for getting more information from the patient, such as billing information, treatment information, etc.
7. Where you referred by another doctor? If so, what is the doctor’s name and contact information? It is important to know the name and contact information of the referring physician in order to obtain the patients medical records and other information from their office.
8. Should specific results and records be brought to the office with the patient? It is very important for patients who have been referred by other doctors or who have gotten test results from other physicians to coordinate those records with your office’s records. If your offices use electronic medical records or EMR software, this is much easier.
9. Are you familiar with our office’s policies? Your physician my have special instructions for their patients, especially if your offices is that of a specialist. For example, does the patient need to fast after midnight or take or cease to take any medications?
10. Do you have any questions? It’s very helpful to both you and the patient to get any other questions out of the way before their visit. This can save time on both your parts, as well as save trouble for the physician and other medical staff.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Knowing when Bull and Bear markets begin and end is not an issue of market timing. The earnings indicator is too slow to be used as a market timing tool. But it is a strategic issue. It defines the way you should manage your portfolio.

In a Bull market you should think about buying stocks and ETFs low and selling high. Be more aggressive in buying stocks and ETFs long and less aggressive on selling them. Buy the dips. Go bottom-fishing, i.e., get in at the first sign of an upturn, sell high, wait for another down turn and do it over again. You may also use wider Stops on your long positions. Avoid selling-short.

Do just the opposite in a Bear market. Think about selling stocks short and buying Contra ETFs at the peaks and buying-to-cover stocks and selling Contra ETFs at bounces from bottoms. Wait for the end of another upturn and do it over again. You may also use tighter Stops to cover your short positions on stocks and close Contra ETFS positions. Avoid buying stocks long to open.

Microsoft Dynamics GP version 10.0 is current at this time, December 2008.  If you are planning GP version update from earlier versions, such as 9.0, 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0, 4.0 or from Great Plains Select on Pervasive SQL or Ctree, then you may read this orientation paper.  It is intended primarily to IT departments and not to Dynamics GP professional consultants (as consultants have access to Technical Knowledge base through their GP Partner Source).  If you are IT support technician and you was chosen to lead Great Plains upgrade project, first recommendation is to get access to Dynamics GP Customer Source.  If you are not sure how to accomplish this task, please contact your Great Plains VAR/Reseller, call Microsoft directly or call our office.  Please, read these highlights:

1.       Upgrade path.  If you are on Great Plains version, earlier than 8.0, then you cannot upgrade in one step and you need to develop your understanding on the upgrade path.  For example, if you are on version 7.5, consider either upgrading to 8.0 and then go to 10.0 or upgrading to 9.0 and then go to 10.0.  If you are on archaic versions: 6.0 and earlier, please get support from professional Great Plains consultant

2.       Upgrading to 10.0.  Here, please note this very important message – this upgrade is service pack sensitive.  For example, if you are on GP 9.0, then Service Pack 2 is required (or higher, you can apply 9.0 SP 4 at this time).  If you are on GP 8.0, then SP 5 is required.  Also, you cannot just use GP 10.0 CD to do the job.  Great Plains 10.0 SP 1 is required (SP 3 or 2 are better options in our opinion).  As we got multiple upgrades under our belt, we feel the need to share with you User Security import issues, attributable to Great Plains 10.0 Service Pack 1, so consider SP3 or SP2

3.       Migration from Ctree or Btrieve/Pervasive SQL.  Dynamics GP has special migration tool, which will move your Pervasive or Ctree data to Microsoft SQL Server

4.       Great Plains Registration Key.  Key is required, and it is in direct relation to your status in Dynamics GP annual enhancement program.  If you lapsed in this program, you likely do not have access to new GP version key.  If this is your case, please contact your Great Plains VAR to get information on reenrollment

5.       FRx, ReportWriter, Dexterity customization, eConnect application, Integration Manager Integrations, VBA/Modifier, GP ISV Add-Ons, Crystal Reports upgrade.  Please, try to identify these modifications to your Great Plains ERP installation and include them in the plan
