etter late then never. Here are some of the shots of the ALM Conference. Check out the
ALM Conference Gallery for more photos.
I’ve been getting into a lot of different technologies recently and one of those was SharePoint 2010 and PerformancePoint Services.
While trying to get a demo up and running for Adam Cogan, I ran into the following error in Dashboard Designer when trying to create a new data source.
The data source cannot be used because PerformancePoint Services is not configured correctly. Additional details have been logged for your administrator
Trying to find the cause of this I ventured into: Central Admin | Manage Service Applications | PerformancePoint Service Application | PerformancePoint Service Application Settings and when trying to specify the unattended service account I got the following error:
The Unattended Service Account cannot be set for the service application. The Secure Store Service key might not have been generated or properly refreshed after the service was provisioned.
Adam Cogan demoed SSW’s TFS Smashing Barrier at the ALM Conference @ Luna Park yesterday. It’s a neat little user control that has always existed on the SSW website (visible only to internal staff) that allows a user to quickly report an issue on the page and to find out:
- What active tasks are there for the current web page?
- What tasks have been completed for the current web page
It helps stop the following common scenario:
- Tristan: “Hey! This button is atrocious. You should fix it”
- Mark: “I think we’ve got that captured already. Let me check”
- … 5 mins later …
- Mark: “Yep it’s already there.”
- Tristan: “Oh… Okay”
- Mark: “Now what was I doing again…”
5-10 mins might be wasted here
