TCS and Microsoft bring you the value of human connection
by Guest bobserr- 0 replies
- 0 views
I am not going to lie. I was tempted to use OpenAI's ChatGPT to write this blog post. In fact, I went as far as asking ChatGPT why a company would choose Microsoft for their Communication Platform as a Service (CPaaS) and the answer was awesome! But while it did a great job, it felt canned. Anyone who knew me would read this blog and know it wasn't written by me. In fact, even those who didn't know me would read this blog and feel zero human connection. They would just get information. That brings me to my point: The value of human connection. When we started out building APIs in Azure Communication Services for adding video, voice, chat, text messaging, and email…

Today, we had a new service request where our customer receives the following error when they try to run a created job in SQL Managed Instance: Cannot start the job 'XXX' (ID XXXXX-XXXX-XXX-XXXX-XXX) because it does not have any job server or servers defined.

Get iteration index in Foreach action
by Guest Drac_Zhang- 0 replies
- 0 views
Sometimes we need to get iteration index in Foreach loop for data processing, one resolution is to set the "Concurrency Control" to 1 and use a variable as index which always be added by 1 for each iteration. This approach can achieve what we would like to have, but it will impact the performance since the foreach is in sequential mode. In order to keep the "Foreach" action running in parallel, there's a new approach as following: Steps 1. Generate a new array which save the all the index of the original array which need to be processed. For example, if we have a 10 items array, then the index array need to be generated as [ 0, 1, 2 ... 9 ] (start fro…

Do You Have the Last Line of Defense Against Ransomware? When it comes to protecting our organization assets against threats, ransomware remains at the top of everyone’s mind. More than 2/3rd of businesses have faced some sort of outage in the last three years. For a large enterprise, every outage costs more than $100,000. That quickly adds up to a significant expense and loss of revenue for any organization. When we look at numbers like this, it makes it much simpler to create a business justification for preparing for ransomware. At this point, ransomware has made it to the mainstream news on many occasions, and it’s a term that IT practitio…

To achieve this objective, quorum is required to be set in the Windows failover cluster. Quorum is designed to prevent split-brains scenarios.
