Integration Virtual Development (I-3)

The challenge of integration is the end-to-end requirement of various cutting edge technologies. With that architectural topologies requirements, developers usually ended up building different development virtual image.

 I figure maybe, I will start with the following virtual development configurations:
  1. Application Development - OS: Windows 2008 R2, Database: SQL Server 2008  (SSMS, Engine, SSRS, SSIS, Analytic Services, BI Dev Studio), Development: SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010,  Office 2010, and Visio
  2. Connected Systems Application Development - OS: Windows 2008 R2, Database: SQL Server 2008 (SSMS, Engine, SSRS, SSIS, Analytic Services, BI Dev Studio), Integration: BizTalk 2010, Development:  SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010,  Office 2010, and Visio
So with that target environment, everything is build and working perfect, and the only thing missing now is the back-end ERP. I figure I will start with SAP AG (Netweaver, ABAP) 7.1 and this is where the pain starts. You should be able to download the developer image from SAP web site at this link:

 This is your biggest take away on this blog that will save you frustration installing the SAP. Remember that SharePoint, SQL, and other servers get installed using your computer's name (remember the localhost). The image Windows created has this name WIN-5FHW8EEJ6E but hold your breath SAP has this limitation installing the server on 13 characters limitation.

 With this limitation, changing your computer name to conform to the 13 character limitation impose by SAP will obviously break the following:
  1. Your SharePoint where the sites and central administration got installed
  2. SQL Server where the engine and reporting server got installed
  3. And maybe everything else internally
So, install SAP first then install everything else. Finally, make sure you download both the Netweaver Portal installation AND Netweaver Export. You will need both when installing them.

Second Curve Analytics - ChatGPT (I-1)

Original Date: January 13, 2004 - 4:12 AM The Sigmoid Curve or Second Curve is a useful tool in understanding the natural life cycle of a product, an organization or even a relationship. The secret to constant growth is to start a new S Curve before the first one ends and the right place to start the second curve is at a point A when there is the time, energy and resources to get the new curve through its initial stages before the first curve plateaus and declines.  Why do we not recognize the obvious principle of beginning the new curve at point A?   Because at point A all the messages received by the individual or organization indicate that everything is fine... there is no need to change. The second curve, whether it is a new product, a new strategy, or a new program, is going to be different from the old. It has to be and so are the people leading the new curve. Those who lead the second curve are often not the people who led the first curve. For a time, new ideas and new ...

Second Curve Analytics - Goggle Gemini (I-1)

  What is second curve analytics? Second curve analytics is a business intelligence (BI) approach that focuses on identifying and exploiting new opportunities, rather than simply optimizing existing ones. It is based on the idea that businesses need to constantly be looking for new ways to grow and innovate, in order to stay ahead of the competition. Second curve analytics can be used to identify new markets, develop new products and services, and improve existing ones. It can also be used to identify new ways to improve efficiency and productivity. There are a number of tools and techniques that can be used for second curve analytics, including data mining, predictive analytics, and machine learning. These tools can be used to analyze large amounts of data to identify patterns and trends that would not be visible to the naked eye. Second curve analytics can be a powerful tool for businesses that are looking to grow and innovate. However, it is important to note that it is ...
