icCube connecting to Excel 2016 - xmla

I get the following warning when I open a xlsx spreadsheet, connected to iccube, in Excel 2016. It works in Excel 2013 but not 2016.
Excel cannot connect to your database with the driver you specified in your data source. The driver does not support OLAP-provider capabilities required by Excel.
Consult your system administrator or contact your OLAP database vendor.
Is there an odc connection option that needs to be flagged or do I need to install a previous OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services driver?

It's an issue - entry - , Excel changed a bit the way they use XMLA. We've fixed the issue and it will be available in the next release that is planned shortly.
No workaround other than upgrading icCube to 5.1.3 or above.

PostgreSQL Chage Data Capture in Talend

I need to capture PostgreSQL changes and I would prefer if it is log based.
How does tpostgresqlCDC work? Is it log/trigger based?
Is this component available on Talend open studio for data integration suit? I know it is available on the big data version, but I can seem to find it in Talend open studio for data integration?
Except AS400 and Oracle, all Talend CDC - trigger based
plus:
it only in subscription version
at least in MySQL realisations - I found some wrong logic
opposite to MySQL it not so wide available, but You can try to check:
Bottledwater
wla2jjson
Debezium , main site
CDC + Kafka - give real flexibility

Use data mining in SQL Server 2008 R2

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 on my computer and I want to use data mining with this version of SQL Server. My question is how can I do this? Because I've read some where that I can use data mining in SQL Server evaluation edition. I can use data mining in SQL Server 2008 R2?.
And I have one other problem when I want to use SQL Server 2008 Data Mining Add-Ins I can't connect to SQL Server and displays this error message.
Unable to connect to server 'localhost'. Please make sure user '' has at least read permission to some database on the server.
First you should get SQL Server Data Tools which runs in Visual Studio.
You will need Analysis Services installed; if you don't have it just run the SQL Server installer again and look for the option to install it.
After that you can take a look at this post I wrote a few months ago:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic480010-147-1.aspx
I wrote it specifically targeting the Neural Network models, but it contains details on several background steps you will need to do.
Finally - since you're using an evaluation version, you may want to just go for SQL Server 2012 (that's what I use, so I know it works).

Viewing report in Secondary server

Is it possible to view reports using SSRS on the secondary server configured for log shipping.
Thanks,
You can in SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and up. If you are using the Express Edition, then you're better off replicating the database you want to report on.

SQL Server Linked Server error

I am using SQL Server 2008 on Windows Server 2003. I want to use a linked server to open a Visual Foxpro DBF file, using driver Microsoft OLD DB Provider for Visual Foxpro from SQL Server 2008 linked server feature.
When I establish linked server connection by using Microsoft OLD DB Provider for Visual Foxpro, to open a Foxpro DBF file, I meet with the following error, any ideas what is wrong?
Can not retrieve required data from this request (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Src)
Meeting exception when executing Transact-SQL or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Error from Microsoft OLD DB Provider interface "VFPOLEDB" of linked server "DBFServer", access is defined.
Can not retrieved required interface "IID_IDBSchemaRowset" from OLE DB interface "VFPOLEDB" of linked server "DBFServer"
(Microsoft SQL Server error 7399)
regards,
George
Check 'Allow Inprocess' on the VFPOLEDB provider:
See Cindy Winegarden's answer on http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/e54d20dd-b65b-4cff-9349-6499e6e069e2 for how to do it.
Edit: this is the relevant part of the answer:
Here's what Stepahnie posted to her thread in the
microsoft.public.data.oledb NNTP newsgroup on April 10:
"Finally, I found an option ' Allow inprocess' in linked server ->
providers -> VFPOLEDB in MSSQL2005. With enable this option, I can
connect to vfp with oledb. While diabling this option, it works only
50% with successful connection....
And I have another MSSQL2005 with the same setup (except the option
'allow inprocess' disabled), all the connection make to vfp is 100%
successful... "
I looked and found that, as she said, in Server Objects > Linked
Servers > Providers > VFPOLEDB > General tab > Provider options >
Allow inprocess. Also, you can change the InProcess setting with the
following code:
USE [master]
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'VFPOLEDB', N'AllowInProcess', 1
GO

Enterprise Library Database Trace Listener?

I'm using EntLib v4 for Logging and currently I'm saving the events to the default text file listener.
I would like to use MS SQL database as my event sink and I saw that the database listener is already provided, but I don't know how to create logging database and stored procedures?
After googling around I saw that in v3 the database creation scripts were shipped with the EntLib, but I can't find them in v4.
I just checked and its in the installation for the source. On my machine its in C:\EntLib4Src\Blocks\Logging\Src\DatabaseTraceListener\Scripts.
You can use the createloggingdb.cmd file or parse loggingdatabase.sql yourself for the relevant commands.
