Really Good B2B Integration Tool

Last week, I visited the EXTOL's company to have more details about the EXTOL Business Integrator software. EXTOL Business Integrator (EBI) is platform-independent business integration middleware, with seamless support for “lights-out” business-to-business (B2B), Software as a Service (SaaS), internal application-to-application (A2A) and data integration.

It is designed to replace – and bridge the gaps between – conventional EDI translators, data integration tools, business process automation tools, web services toolkits, XML transformation toolkits and spreadsheet integrators. EBI spans this broad range of capabilities by providing a flexible set of integration services that can be combined and configured to suit a variety of business purposes, all without programming.

With EBI, you can handle B2B, A2A, SaaS and data integration problems individually or in any combination required by your business. EBI can implement simple, point-to-point solutions that automate parts of larger business processes, or to implement longer, more complex business processes that connect applications, trading partners, services and business data resources.


EBI includes a powerful and highly flexible set of business integration services, including process automation, data transformation, messaging and communications, event management, scheduling, and adapter-based connections to internal and external sources and targets, as well process monitoring, auditing, and governance tools. The solution seamlessly integrates with your existing applications and business processes through business events, schedules, application actions or explicit process invocations.

For conclusion, EBI is a really great product. It is insanely easy to use and it has a lot of features!

+1 for the guys of EXTOL!

Ruby -=- Using environment variable

Hi

With Ruby, You can use environment variable by using the function.

ENV['JAVA_HOME']

The variable must be defined in the operating system.


Ruby have many places to define environment variable within the code. You can put environment variable common across environment in [RubyProject]/config/environment.rb

Also, if you want to define an environment variable for a specific environment, you can set the variable in [RubyProject]/config/environments/production.rb or test.rb or development.rb...

The variable defined in the project can be use directly. For example, if I put MY_VAR = 3 in the file environment.rb, I will use the variable directly by calling MY_VAR in the code. For example

p MY_VAR

How to uninstall Symantec Anti Virus without a password

When removing Symantec anti virus you often need to supply a password for the uninstall to run. This can be a very big pain if you've forgotten the password or if the original install was done by an administrator that has long since left. As usual, there is a work around. Here's how to remove SAV without supplying a password:

•  Press Windows Key + R (This brings up the run dialog box)
• Type regedit and press Enter (This will open the Registry editor)
• Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\Security
• Look for a DWORD value called UseVPUninstallPassword. Once you find it, double click it.
• Change the value of UseVPUninstallPassword to 0 (zero) and click OK
• You can now close the Registry Editor window
• We're done! You will now be able to uninstall Symantec anti virus without the annoying password request!

ExtJS -=- NaN in PagingToolbar

Hi!

If you got a NaN of 1 in Ext's paging toolbar, you must add start: 0 and limit: 25 when you load your store. For example:

documentTypeI18nElementsStore.reload({
     params:{
          start: 0,
          limit: 25
     }
});
