Сегодня с удивлением обнаружил русскую страницу с документацией по PPS 2007 — PerformancePoint Server:

Добро пожаловать в библиотеку технической документации по серверу Office PerformancePoint Server — интегрированной системе управления производительностью, помогающей контролировать важные бизнес-показатели.

Эта библиотека включает перечисленные ниже разделы.

Руководство по планированию и архитектуре PerformancePoint Server 2007

Руководство по развертыванию PerformancePoint Server 2007

Руководство по эксплуатации PerformancePoint Server 2007

Технические документы по PerformancePoint Server 2007

Да, пока она не может сравниться с английской версией, но начало положено. Думаю, что в ближайшее время она существенно пополнится переведенными документами.

Так что всем настоятельно рекомендую посмотреть то что уже есть и регулярно проверять на наличие новых материалов.

Кстати, вот очень неплохая статья — Жизненный цикл приложения планирования сервера.

UPDATE от 29.05.2008

А еще на русском раздел в MSDN появился — PerformancePoint Server 2007.

Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 — когда ждать?

Posted on мая 22, 2008
Filed Under Обновления, Разное | Комментариев нет

Все уже написали про то, что MS анонсировал поддержку ODF в SP2 для Office System 2007.

Оригинал кстати вот тут — Microsoft Expands List of Formats Supported in Microsoft Office.

Меня же больше заинтересовало вот это — With the release of Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) scheduled for the first half of 2009.

Некий горизонт, когда можно ожидать SP2, а я знаю, что многие этим очень интересуются

Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Application Servers, 2Q08

Немного не по теме моего блога, но не мог пройти мимо

Gartner 24 апреля выпустил отчет — Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Application Servers, 2Q08.

Выглядит вот так вот:

По MS пишут вот так вот:

Strengths

Massive installed base and large community of developers and ISVs makes Microsoft’s nonstandard EAS offering (including .NET Framework, parts of MSAP and IIS) a de facto standard.

Visionary plans for SaaS platform technology and modeling-based software engineering («Oslo») use vast company engineering and business resources to try to catch up with and surpass leading competitors.

Deep integration with Windows OS optimizes performance, improves ease of deployment and use, and, in some cases, reduces the costs of engineering and the deployment of business applications.

Long-standing commitment to developers and ease-of-use has produced a near-dominating position of Microsoft EAS with small and midsize software projects.

Growing adoption of MSAP in mission-critical enterprise projects and improving Microsoft practices in support of high-end IT organizations.

Cautions

Exclusive Microsoft reliance on Windows OS limits users’ deployment options to a single OS and a single vendor for much of the software infrastructure portfolio.

Microsoft does not identify its EAS capability as a distinct product. Technology representing the functionality of an EAS is spread across several products, confusing some users and complicating competitive positioning against Java EAS vendors.

Late entry into the SOA market (despite the early lead with Web services) and limited professional services business holds back Microsoft’s share in enterprise SOA-focused projects.

Strategic focus on the mass-market is the core of Microsoft’s business success, but leads to delays in adopting important high-end enterprise initiatives (such as XTP, EDA and SOA).

Со слабыми сторонами нельзя не согласиться, но согласитесь, как то они «слабоваты»

Определение версии SharePoint 2007

Столкнулся с вопросом — «Как правильно определить текущую версию MOSS?» Очень актуальный вопрос при определении совместимости различных решений под разные версии MOSS.

Ответ на этот вопрос читаем вот тут — http://support.microsoft.com/?id=936988 и вот тут — Getting the correct MOSS / WSS version for each server in the farm.

Наверняка, все кто интересуется поиском от MS знают про этот замечательный блог — Microsoft Enterprise Search Blog, но напомнить будет не лишним

Первый сторонний инструмент для PerformancePoint Server 2007?

Posted on мая 15, 2008
Filed Under PerformancePoint Server, Утилиты | Комментариев нет

Не уверен что это на самом деле первый сторонний инструмент, но это первый о котором я узнал. Вот он собственно говоря — Business Intelligence Studio.

Основные фичи:

Form Designer/Report Writer: Easy and powerful Excel-based form designer to create forms and reports. New forms can be inherited or cloned from existing forms for easy reuse. The advanced MDX wizard will create complex MDX queries for your form without having to know MDX. Rules can be run directly within the form.

Parameterized Rules: BIS can dramatically improve speed and scalability in the budget model because it can parameterize PPS business rules with the benefit of only having to recalculate the relevant section of the cube.

Line Item Detail: Update/create/ remove records from the transaction table, reference multiple measures within one model, read multiple models within a line item.

Form Controls: Drop down boxes, check boxes, short and long text boxes, and linked drop downs enable data entry with checks and controls, to ensure better data quality, smoother budgeting and forecasting processes which provide better business performance management in your organization.

Dimension Slicer: Can control one or more dynamic matrix controls, a slicer can have multiple dimension members and member set groups that can reference to each other to allow for filtering.

Multi-Model Forms: Custom template-based controls can be assigned multiple times to one form and can be controlled from the slicer. It can submit to multiple models and scenarios without having to change from one Excel form to the other. In other words, multiple cubes can be linked to the same slicers.

Simplified Dimension Maintenance: End-users can create, add, and delete dimension members and related hierarchy maintenance as well as their attributes directly within the Excel add-in without having an administrator first add the member in the PPS Biz Modeler interface.

Жирным выделил то что мне сейчас особо актуально К сожалению сам руками не трогал так что реально рассказать не могу. Но отлично что появляются инструменты, специализирующиеся на работе с PerformancePoint Server 2007.
