It wasn't totally clear from the developer site but can I use the API access with the self-hosted version of Quickbooks enterprise (on a Linux server in this case)? I see APIs for the cloud version and section on the desktop version but nothing about the server installed version.
No. You will need to use the QBXML SDK to access QB desktop data.
The integration will have to run on one of your Windows clients, not directly on the Linux machine. The Linux machine just hosts the data file, it doesn't really do anything else beyond that.

Can I install Visual Studio Code on Windows server 2008 ?
I am a developer but I sent the information to my administrators and they told me that the setup file crashes after launched
I get seput file from hee https://code.visualstudio.com/download
procesor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6142 CPU # 2.60Ghz - 2.59 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
64-bit
virtual machine
1 CPU - 2 cores
Windows Server 2008
First time answering here so bare with my vintage reply formatting. (also pardon that i couldn't capture screen due to server is on a intranet that not accessible on this device causing a long reply)
Being a unfortunate fellow that need to work on legacy Systems and Application frequently, i happen to have a fresh 2008R2 server recently setup by my team's Server Admin with following specs:
processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5220 CPU # 2.20Ghz - 2.19 GHz ,
OS: Windows Server 2008R2 x64 ,
RAM: 8GB
The versions that is able to install was 1.70.3,which is the same version that is the last supporting versions for Windows 7 as well,if you happen to need to work on devices using that OS version.
although i'm uncertain whether it is a VM or not, i'd like to point out a few more things that your question did not cover but need to consider:
The installer version (System setup vs User Setup)
aside from the x64 |x86 | ARM installer differences, as you've not mentioned which versions of the build and which exact setup installer you sent to your admin, i've first replied which build version successfully installed on 2008R2, which as of writing the latest build was 1.73.0 and on run,it pop up a error message as follow regardless of System/User Setup:
This Program does not support the version of windows your computer is running.
in our current case that we want specific previous versions installer, VScode FAQ on previous versions have a URL lists that enables you to download a specific build version of your preferred setup. For my case (and also refer below to exactly why this one), i've go for System setup, and i know the aprox. supporting version was ~1.70.0, so i used the link as below and replace the {version} to start:
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/{version}/win32-x64/stable
Active Domain, Multiple user sessions etc.
Per VSCode requirements page stated,
VS Code does not support multiple simultaneous users using the software on the same machine, including shared virtual desktop
infrastructure machines or a pooled Windows/Linux Virtual Desktop host
pool.
as im not sure do you work solo or do have fellow colleagues to code on the server at the same time, you might need to reconsider to install using user or System setup.
if your intentions are to use exclusively on a specific AD account, then user setup should probably be good enough.
however, if the intentions was to setup say a shared Remote desktop connections on the VM that allows multiple RDC sessions simultaneously for coding,programming etc., so you intend to install a system setup to allow all users on said server to be able to use VScode, then you might run into the problem the VScode requirements stated it does not support.
in addition, as i was remote connected as administrator , when using a 1.70.2 user setup ,a different warning message as follow was thrown:
This user Installer is not meant to be run as Administrator. If you would like to install VS Code for all users in this system, download the system Installer instead.Are you sure you want to continue?
as the installer itself also checks with the operator on this matter, your admin may have skipped on the exact reasons why the install failed and just told you the installer crashed.
if you absolutely need VScode to run on the server but can't install for reasons, the last resort (aside from going for alternatives like notepad++) is to Setup a Portable Mode builds on your own workstation/devices first, then upload the package to the server and use it from there.
i wouldn't go into too much detail in that as this reply already span for a starwars trilogy length but keep in mind, version limitations still apply, and whatever add-ons you need, you need to download them first before bundle it into the package to upload and run on your server.
Anyone that is a System admin or infrastructure architects , do correct me on my novice understanding on Server settings etc. as although i'm primarily a programmer, i did end up touching a lot more things that i'm not specialized into over the few years of vendor career work so there bound to be incorrect/inaccurate concepts i spilled. cheers.
I have successfuly run rStudio on Amazon Web Services and it is extremely useful.
I want to run eclipse on AWS as well. When I type this in to google most tutorials are about the eclipse plugin. That's not what I want. I want to run eclipse on AWS.
I tried setting up an instance on EC2 which allowed me to run windows server 2012 but I couldn't install anything because of various internet explorer configuration issues and anyway I hat windows. I also tried a remote linux installation but its not really what I want. I want to run eclipse so that I can access it from a public DNS in the same way that I have managed to do with rStudio. Is this possible. Are there other (even non-AWS) ways?
I presume that by "AWS" you are actually referring to Amazon EC2 virtual machines.
Installing software on an Amazon EC2 instance is no different to installing on any other computer -- it's the same copy of Microsoft Windows you would use elsewhere.
The difficulties you mention of running Internet Explorer on Windows 2012 is entirely part of Microsoft's (rather strange) security settings that discourage using Internet Explorer as a system administrator, in order to combat security weaknesses that people try to exploit. Windows 2012 will no longer be supported by Microsoft in 2018.
I recommend using Windows 2016, which does not seem to impose such restrictions. It's also a newer, supported operating system that matches Windows 10.
Then, just install the software as normal and things will work a lot better for you.
Update:
You're right -- IE has problems on Windows 2016 but they are different to what is happening on Windows 2012 (last time I looked).
To get around the silly Microsoft IE security:
Run Server Manager
Go to Local Server
Click IE Enhanced Security Configuration ("On")
Turn both settings off
Internet Explorer then works and you can install Eclipse.
I'm considering getting a collection of Dell PowerEdge servers. Dell documentation is pretty poor (no surprise there) and I have trouble figuring out if I can go with iDRAC Basic or if I need iDRAC Express or Enterprise.
My need is to install Ubuntu Server (minimal install with SSH is enough). After install all I need is SSH and possibly a remote "reset" button. I can install the OS before taking the system to server room so I don't really need remote OS deployment tools. However, the server does not have a graphics adapter. Is it possible to install Ubuntu with just iDRAC Basic or do I need additional hardware?
#iwork4dell Remote OS deployment implies Virtual Console (like VNC) and Virtual Media (using a remote ISO like a local DVD). These are Enterprise license features. OS deployment tools are are the driver pack that is stored in flash on the server and made available during OS installation to support new hardware on older OSes.
The iDRAC is an integrated VGA adapter so all the Power Edge servers do have a video adapter in them unless you disable it in BIOS. If your willing to attach a keyboard and monitor to the server basic is all you need. You can also upgrade the iDRAC with a license key after purchase.
See http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20440743
and http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/idrac-spec-sheet.pdf
IDRAC is possible, just you can open gui of idrac and then launch on the online server. You can add the iso file on virtual server.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have spent hours looking for a solution.
I want to connect to a QuickBooks Company file that is installed on a server from a workstation that is on the network.
I am running the AddCust.exe that is supplied with the QuickBooks SDK.
What do I need to install on the server to make this work.
I am running the executable on the workstation. Do I have to have QuickBooks installed on the workstation that I want to run this app? I have installed the ABXMLRP2Installer on the workstation.
I know this is old, but in case anyone is still searching....
This answer is based on Quickbooks SDK 11.0.
You need to install the SDK on the machine running Quickbooks.
Next, you will need two programs that are part of the SDK:
RDS6ServerInstaller.exe RDS6ClientInstaller.exe
You will find these somewhere in the SDK install location:
on my machine, they were in:
C:\Program Files\Intuit\IDN\QBSDK11.0\tools\Installers
Here is a good write up on how to get this going...
http://www.h2officesolutions.com/h2os_custguide/Customizing_the_RDS_server.htm
Use the sample program provided in the SDK called SDKTestPlus3 for testing.
Be prepared for some serious tinkering and time to get this going....
You don't need to install anything on the server if you install QuickBooks and the required SDK components on the workstation. It is also possible to use Remote Data Sharing (RDS) to access data on the server, but it is much simpler to install QuickBooks on the workstation as long as you don't mind using a license for that purpose.
SDK applications always require that SDK components be installed; SDK components do not come pre-installed with QuickBooks. In the case of the AddCust sample app, the QBXMLRP2 installer is what you need.
How exactly does github enterprise (or similar services) allow you to install it and host on your own servers without being open source?
I'm not very familiar with GitHub Enterprise, but it appears it's just a OVF package (commonly used format for packaging an entire virtual machine) that you just import and go.. a full stack including the OS and all. It's not something you just install alongside other things like WordPress (or at least it doesn't appear to be.)
As someone mentioned, it's an Open Virtualisation Format image which you can run in VMWare, VirtualBox or IBM Power. You can read more in the GitHub Enterprise FAQ.
The Virtual Image runs a Linux OS and the GitHub software. Most of the work has been done for you, it's pretty much plug and pay (licence for 40 users runs at $10k/year last time I checked).
GHE is available as appliance and you can import the downloaded ova file to vmware and can configure it from the GUI after installation
