Using Webhooks to Access Big Performance Data in Real Time: OpsCast with Google
Feb 12 2018
53 mins
Matthew White, SRE Manager, Google; Robert Castley, Senior Performance Engineer, Catchpoint
As the size and scope of our digital systems grow, so does the amount of performance data that you must collect to ensure that those systems are operating at optimal levels. This is a particularly difficult challenge for enterprise companies that have a wide variety of digital properties under their control, as the sheer amount of data can be overwhelming. DevOps pros and SREs must be able to catalog, correlate, and analyze data in a matter of minutes during incident resolution; otherwise companies risk missing SLAs and having irate customers.
To overcome this challenge, Catchpoint offers Test Data Webhooks, specifically designed to manage and review mass quantities of performance data in real time.
In this latest installment of OpsCast Spotlight, Using Webhooks to Access Big Performance Data in Real Time, Google details how they have integrated Catchpoint Webhooks with their own cloud-based storage and visualization tools, and the positive business impact that they have seen as a result.
Key Takeaways:
Ways in which webhooks help users overcome the pool-based limits of APIs

Abby Elliott won't be unemployed for long.
Just two weeks after confirming she won't be returning to Saturday Night Live next season, Elliott has landed an arc on CBS' How I Met Your Mother, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Abby Elliott is leaving Saturday Night Live
The comedienne should have another outlet for her quirky sense of humor, as she is set to play Janeane, who is "the craziest girl the HIMYM gang has ever encountered," executive producer Craig Thomas tells the magazine. But not everyone is turned off by her antics.
"The strange, inexplicable phenomenon is: The crazier Janeane gets, the more attractive one of the gang finds her," Thomas said. "It doesn't end well."
Elliot's father, Chris Elliott (himself an SNL alum), also has a recurring guest role on How I Met Your Mother as Lily's (Alyson Hannigan) father, Mickey.
How I Met Your Mother kicks off its eighth season on Monday, Sept. 24 at 8/7c.

Local gears up for cycling challenge
PUBLISHED: 12:30 12 June 2014
Hockey player raising awareness for Prostate Cancer UK
The last time Stuart Mol took on a sporting challenge in Ipswich he was on the wrong end of a hockey horror show.
The versatile Crostyx player and his team suffered an 11-1 defeat against Ipswich in the team's first away game of last season's East Men's Hockey League Premier B campaign last September and a disappointing year would eventually end in relegation.
Now the 34-year-old from Woodford is shaping up for some pain of a different kind as he returns to Suffolk to raise awareness and money for Prostate Cancer UK.
Centre-back Mol will pedal an energy-sapping 160km to help the charity raise awareness of a disease that kills one man every hour.
The keen cyclist works as Programme Manager for the charity and has selected the longest of the three distances on offer at the inaugural Saxon Classic, which starts and finishes in Ipswich's Christchurch Park on Sunday, June 22.
Around 200 riders, including workmate Gemma Borwick, fresh from representing the charity in the London Marathon, will join him on the startline with 50km and 100km routes also on the agenda.
And the event, launched after the success of a similar ride, the East Devon-based Jurassic Classic, will help fund research into causes and treatments, and provide support and information to those affected by the disease.
"Prostate Cancer UK is a great and inspirational place to work and given I'm a keen cyclist it will be great to test myself in this exciting new event," said Stuart.
"Working here, it's impossible to ignore the implications of prostate cancer but as a charity we are facing these issues head on and trying to affect change and a better deal for men.
"It's great to be able to do my bit to beat the drum and raise awareness of a disease that affects one in eight men in the UK."
Although the hockey season ended in disappointment last time as Crostyx dropped into the East League's third tier, Mol and his teammates are back in training ahead of the new campaign – and cycling has formed a big part of his summer sharpening.
He has regularly pedalled into the Essex countryside and looped back via Stansted at weekends and has made the eight-mile journey from East London to London Bridge by bike on several occasions in a bid to prepare for the arduous event that will see him head to the Suffolk coast and also includes up to 1,600m of climbing.
"A couple of guys in the office have previously done the Jurassic Classic and it's a really enjoyable day which has earned acclaim as one of the must-do events in the South West and it raised almost £100,000 last year," added Stuart who tackled the undulating Wiggle Dragon Ride in Port Talbot, Wales on June 8th as a final tune-up.
"I did the Dragon Ride last year as well, and it's a fair test of endurance but really rewarding too, and I'll be trying to persuade some friends to join me at the Jurassic Classic later this year. I also took part in the Etape du Tour last July, replicating the 20th stage of the 2013 Tour de France from Annecy to Le Semnoz which culminated in an uphill 11km ride to the summit.
"I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into the Suffolk terrain and suspect the return to Ipswich will be a bit more enjoyable this time round."
Mark Bishop, Director of Fundraising at Prostate Cancer UK, said: "We're thrilled that Stuart has decided to take on the first ever Saxon Classic to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK. It is with support like this that we can help provide dedicated support and information to men and their families affected by prostate cancer and fund research to help fight the disease.
"With over 40,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer each year in the UK and one man dying every hour, it is our aim to help more men survive the disease and enjoy a better quality of life. We wish Stuart every success with his bike challenge."

Owner Yahya Atrash, from the West Bank town of Hebron, told Reuters the animal was born on Monday, when militant leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was killed.
He told Reuters the timing was "clear evidence of God's existence".
Sheikh Yassin, spiritual leader of the Hamas militant group, was killed in an Israeli missile strike.
Israel says he was involved in planning suicide attacks.
"This sheep was born in memory of the martyrdom of the great hero Sheikh Ahmed Yassin," the farmer said.
"We hope that the birth of this sheep is a lesson for the living in the same way... the martyrdom is a lesson for us here in Palestine."
Many Palestinians travelled through several Israeli army checkpoints to view the lamb, who some claim also has "Muhammad" written on his other flank, after the Prophet.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chad Johnson pleaded no contest to one count of domestic battery, instead accepting a plea deal which will see that he serves no jail time.
Broward County Judge Ian Richards approved the plea deal on Friday morning. Johnson was arrested August 11 at his Davie home after he was accused of head butting Evelyn Lozada during an argument.
Wearing a steel grey suit, Johnson, 34, listened to the details of the plea deal that will keep him from spending any time behind bars.
As part of the plea deal, Johnson must serve 12 months of probation. He must complete 26 weeks of batterers' intervention counseling, and pay restitution for medical costs.
"Once that counseling is done, as was stated in open court, he can apply for what we call early termination of his probation," said Adam Swickle, Johnson's attorney.
Johnson must also have no contact with Lozada. The couple's divorce was finalized earlier this week.
Johnson did not make any statements to the media but Swickle said he didn't think we would be seeing him inside a courtroom any time soon.
"Any plea can be used against you in the future. That is absolutely correct depending on what occurs in the future but we are very confident Chad is not going to have any problems," said. Swickle.
Johnson was cut by the Dolphins shortly after his arrest.

Example 2 : A whistling kettle with boiling water sound.
Since the toneAC library is ideal for kids toys (extra loud, no nasty clicks, volume control), these kind of sounds came to my mind. But so far I could not make something that sounds right.
// Random sound// public domainint i, j, frequency, volume, duration;for( i=0; i<1000; i++){ j = random (5, 60); frequency = j * j; volume = random(6, 11); toneAC( frequency, volume, 0, true); j = random( 1, 12); duration = j * j; delay( duration);}noToneAC(); delay(2000);
// example of noise sounds with toneAC library// public domain//// The lower and higher frequency define the sound.// 300, 1500 : noise// 340, 345 : computer noise// 600, 14500 : rain drops noise#define FREQUENCY_LOWER 300#define FREQUENCY_HIGHER 1500 int i, frequency, volume;for( i=0; i<10000; i++){ volume = random(6, 11); frequency = random( FREQUENCY_LOWER, FREQUENCY_HIGHER); toneAC( frequency, volume, 0, true); delay(1);}noToneAC(); delay(2000);
First of all this library is awesome, and I'm very pleased that I found it. Registered just for this. Secondly though, I'm running into trouble because of the 9 & 10 pin requirements. (Arduino Uno)Is there a way someone could point in the right direction to modify the library to use pins 5 & 6? (or other PWM pins in general?) Or perhaps I misunderstand and the relevant timer is ONLY accessible on 9 & 10. Any reason we couldn't use Timer 0 or Timer 2, per: http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/TimerPWMCheatsheet Alternately, I think it'd be an excellent addition to the library to be able to set options to switch between all possible PWM pins, just to give a little bit more flexibility.
Ah crap, maybe I will just do it.Tim
Quote from: teckel on Jan 24, 2013, 10:20 pmAh crap, maybe I will just do it.TimAh my name is Tim as well. So from one Tim to another: Thanks for the detailed information involved as to the concerns with the timers. It's helpful for me to learn more about this as a beginner to the Arduino world.At the moment, I'm mostly trying to figure out how to use your library without conflicting with the SD library's use of the 10 pin as a selector (per: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/SDCardNotes) Based on what I've read there, though it looks like I may be able to just use SD.begin() to select a different pin for card initiation, and as long as 10 remains an Output that shouldn't actually cause problems.So actually, with a little reading, I think the library will work for my particular application as it is. Though I still think it would be awesome to have versions of the library for each of the available timers, just for that extra flexibility. From the pretty robust response you've received on the library in only a couple weeks, I think it's clear that people are finding it useful.Anyway! Thanks for your efforts.

I'm waiting for toneAC version 1.2.
What about a ToneAC page in the Playground section ?

Microsoft Office Access 2007 provides a powerful set of tools that help you to quickly start tracking, reporting, and sharing information. You can rapidly create attractive and functional tracking applications by customizing one of several predefined templates, converting an existing database, or creating a new database, and you can do so without deep database knowledge. By using Office Access 2007, it is easy to adapt database applications and reports to changing business needs. The enhanced support for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 in Office Access 2007 helps you to share, manage, audit, and back up your data.
Office Access 2007 provides templates with which you can easily create databases, tables, and fields. In addition, there are new views and design tools to help you create new database objects and to work with data.
Office Access 2007 includes a suite of professionally designed database templates for tracking contacts, tasks, events, students, and assets, among other types of data. You can use them right away or enhance and refine them to track information exactly the way that you want. Use the Getting Started with Microsoft Office Access page, which appears each time that you start Office Access 2007, and quickly get started creating your database by opening one of the templates.
Each template is a complete tracking application that contains predefined tables, forms, reports, queries, macros, and relationships. The templates are designed to be immediately useful out-of-the-box so that you can get up and running quickly. If the template design meets your needs, you are ready to go! Otherwise, you can use the template to get a head start in creating the database that meets your specific needs.
In addition to the templates included with Office Access 2007, you can connect to Microsoft Office Online and download more templates.
Spending a lot of time designing your fields? Instead, use the new field templates, which are predefined fields, each with a name, data type, length, and preset properties. You can drag the fields that you need directly from the Field Templates pane to a datasheet. Field templates are based on XML Schema Definition (.xsd) files so that you can set up your own standard definitions for shared use in your department or workgroup.
In addition, Office Access 2007 includes table templates for tables that are commonly used in databases. For example, you can use the Contacts table template to add a Contacts table to your database. The table already includes commonly used fields, such as Last Name, First Name, and Address. Field properties are already set so that you can begin using the table immediately. There are other table templates available — Tasks, Issues, Events, and Assets — that include specialized fields designed for the type of data you want to store and track.
Creating tables is now easier — just click Table on the Create tab and start entering data. Office Access 2007 automatically determines the best data type for each field so that you are up and running in no time. The Add New Field column shows you just where to add a new field — and if you need to change the data type or display format of a new or existing field, it is easy to do so by using the commands on the Ribbon, which is part of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface. You can also paste data from Microsoft Office Excel tables into a new datasheet — Office Access 2007 creates all of the fields and recognizes the data types automatically.
Suppose you need to add an existing field from another table to your table. Just drag the field from the Field List pane onto the datasheet. Access automatically creates any needed relationships or prompts you throughout the process.
Use Layout view to make design changes while you view data in a form or report.
For example, you can add a field to the design grid by dragging a field from the Field List pane, or you can change properties by using the property sheet. Layout view supports the new, stacked and tabular layouts — groups of controls that you can move and resize as a unit so that you can easily rearrange fields, columns, rows, or whole layouts. You can also remove a field or add formatting easily in Layout view. Design view still remains available for more detailed work, and it has also been enhanced to support stacked and tabular layouts.
The new results-oriented user interface — the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface — makes it easy for you to work in Office Access 2007. Commands and features that were often buried in complex menus and toolbars are now easier to find on task-oriented tabs that contain logical groups of commands and features. Many dialog boxes are replaced with galleries that display the available options, and descriptive tooltips or sample previews are provided to help you choose the right option. No matter what activity that you are performing in the new user interface — whether it is creating a report or entering data — Access presents the tools that are most useful to successfully completing that task.
Microsoft Office Fluent user interface The new Office Fluent user interface includes a standard area called the Ribbon, which contains groups of commands that are organized by feature and functionality. The Ribbon replaces the layers of menus and toolbars found in earlier versions of Access.
Use the Office Fluent Ribbon to locate groups of related commands faster. For example, if you need to create a form or report, use one of the commands on the Create tab. The new design makes it easier to find the commands that you need, and you will discover features that you otherwise might not notice. Commands are placed closer to the surface, which means that you do not need to dig for them in menus or memorize their locations.
Key features of the Office Fluent user interface include:
Getting Started with Microsoft Office Access page This page provides quick access to a library of professionally designed database templates, in addition to databases that you recently opened and (if you are connected to the Internet) links to popular Office Online articles.
Navigation Pane This pane lists and provides easy access to all of the objects in the currently open database. Use the Navigation Pane to organize your objects by object type, date created, date modified, related table (based on object dependencies), or in custom groups that you create. Need more space to work on your form design? You can easily collapse the Navigation Pane so that it takes up little space, but still remains available. The Navigation Pane replaces the Database window that was used in versions of Access earlier than Access 2007.
Tabbed objects Your tables, queries, forms, reports, and macros are displayed as tabbed objects in the Access window.
By clicking the object tabs, you can easily switch between various objects.
Status bar The bar at the bottom of the window that displays status information and includes buttons that let you switch between views.
Mini toolbar An element, similar to a toolbar, that transparently appears above text that you selected so that you can easily apply formatting, such as bold or italic, or change the font.
Help window Unlike previous versions of Access, Office Access 2007 offers easy access to both Access Help and Developer Reference content from the same Help window. You can easily change the scope of your search to the Developer Reference content only, for example. Regardless of the settings that you make in the Help window, all of the Access Help and Developer Reference content is always available on Office Online.
Office Access 2007 provides an intuitive environment for creating forms and reports, allowing you to quickly create forms and reports that display sorted, filtered, and grouped information.
Use the Create tab to quickly create new forms, reports, tables, Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services lists, queries, macros, and modules. If you selected a table or query in the Navigation Pane, you can create a new form or report based on that object in one click by using the Form or Report command. The new forms and reports that are created by this one-click process are more visually appealing and immediately useful, because their design has been upgraded. Automatically generated forms and reports get a professional looking design with headers that include a logo and a title. In addition, an automatically generated report also includes date and time information, and informative footers and totals.
You will find that objects created by using the new, quick create experience take you farther with less effort.
Two new views let you work with forms and reports interactively. By using Report view, you can browse an accurate rendering of your report without having to print or display it in Print Preview. To focus on certain records, use the filter feature, or use a Find operation to search for matching text. You can use the Copy command to copy text to the Clipboard, or click the active hyperlinks displayed in your report to follow a link in your browser.
Report view adds the ability to browse, but Layout view lets you make design changes while you browse. You can use Layout view to make many common design changes while you view data in a form or report. For example, add a field by dragging a field name from the new Field List pane, or change properties by using the property sheet. Layout view supports the new, stacked and tabular layouts — groups of controls that you can manipulate as one so that you can easily rearrange fields, columns, rows, or whole layouts. You can also remove a field or add formatting easily in Layout view. Design view remains available for more detailed work, and it has also been enhanced to support layouts.
New to Office Access 2007 is a better and more accessible way to group and sort in reports and add totals. You will find the new user interface easier to navigate and understand, and when it is used with the new Layout view, you see the effect of your changes instantly.
Suppose that you need to see total sales by region in a report. Use Layout view and the new Group, Sort, and Total pane to add a group level and request a total — and see the changes live, in your report! The new Total row makes adding a sum, average, count, maximum, or minimum to your report headers or footers easy. Simple totals no longer require manually creating a calculated field. Now you just point and click.
Forms and reports often contain tabular information, such as a column that contains customer names or a row that contains all of the fields for a customer. You can use Office Access 2007 to group these controls into a layout that can easily be manipulated as one unit, including the label.
Because you can select controls from different sections, such as the label in the section header or footer, there is considerable flexibility. You can easily:
Layouts are saved with your design, so they remain available.
Use the new split form to create a form that combines a Datasheet view and a Form view. You can set a property to tell Access to place the datasheet on the top, bottom, left, or right.
Use the new, trusted, embedded macros to avoid having to write code. An embedded macro is stored in a property and is a part of the object to which it belongs. You can modify the design of an embedded macro without having to worry about other controls that might use the macro — each embedded macro is independent. Embedded macros are trusted because they are automatically prevented from performing certain, potentially unsafe, operations.
Office Access 2007 includes new and enhanced data types and controls that allow you to store more types of data, and you can enter them more easily.
You can create a field that holds multiple values, also called complex data. Suppose that you need to assign a task to one of your employees or contractors, but you want to assign it to more than one person. In most database management systems and in earlier versions of Access, you needed to create a many-to-many relationship in order to do this correctly. In Office Access 2007, the hard part is done for you, when you choose a field that you set to accept multiple values. Multivalued fields are especially appropriate when you use Office Access 2007 to work with a SharePoint list that contains one of the multivalued field types used in Windows SharePoint Services. Office Access 2007 is compatible with these data types.
The new Attachment data type lets you easily store all types of documents and binary files in your database without any unnecessary growth in database size. Office Access 2007 automatically compresses attachments, when possible, to minimize space usage. Do you need to attach a Microsoft Office Word 2007 document to a record or save a series of digital pictures in your database? Using attachments make these tasks much easier. You can even add multiple attachments to a single record.
With the new, rich text support in Office Access 2007, you are no longer limited to plain text in your records. You can format text with options (such as bold, italic, in addition to different fonts and colors, and other common formatting options) and store the text in your database. Rich-formatted text is stored in a Memo field in an HTML-based format that is compatible with the rich text, data type in Windows SharePoint Services. You set the new TextFormat property to either RichText or PlainText, and the information is then properly formatted in text box controls and in Datasheet view.
Memo fields are useful for storing large amounts of information. With Office Access 2007, you can set the Append Only property to retain a history of all changes to a Memo field. You can then view a history of those changes. This feature also supports the tracking feature in Windows SharePoint Services so that you can also use Access to view your SharePoint list content history.
Fields and controls that employ the Date/Time data type automatically gain a new feature: support for a built-in interactive calendar for choosing a date. The calendar button automatically appears to the right of the date. Want to know the date for this coming Friday? Click the button and the calendar automatically appears to let you find and choose the date. You can opt to turn off the calendar for a field or a control by using a property.
New tools in Office Access 2007 help you to create database objects more quickly and then analyze your data more easily.
The new Field List pane goes beyond the field picker found in earlier versions of Access, by including fields from other tables. You can drag fields from the table in your record source, from related tables, or from unrelated tables in the database. Office Access 2007 is prepared for creating the infrastructure required, so if a relationship between tables is needed, it is automatically created, or you are prompted throughout the process.
Suppose that you need to quickly find a matching value or sort a column of data. The new Office Access 2007 AutoFilter feature augments already powerful filtering abilities so that you can quickly focus on the data that you need. You can easily select from the unique values in a column, which is useful for situations when you can't recall the name that you need, or you can sort the values by using context menu options in plain language, such as Sort Oldest to Newest or Sort Smallest to Largest.
The most common filter options are readily visible in menu commands, or you can use quick filters to limit information based on the data that you enter. Quick filter options automatically change based on the data type so that you will see sensible choices for text, date, and numeric information.
These new filtering and sorting features are designed to provide you with a consistent experience, whether you are using Office Access 2007 or Microsoft Office Excel 2007.
New to Datasheet view is a Total row, in which you can display a sum, count, average, maximum, minimum, standard deviation, or variance. After you add the Total row, you point to the arrow in the column's cell and select the calculation that you want.
Datasheets, reports, and continuous forms support an alternating background color for rows, which you can set independently of the default background color. Shading every other row is easy, and you can choose any color.
Enhanced Office Access 2007 security features and strong integration with Windows SharePoint Services help you to more effectively manage and allow you to make your information tracking applications more secure than before. By storing your tracking application data in lists on Windows SharePoint Services, you can audit revision history, recover deleted information, and set data access permissions.
In order to help make Office Access 2007 more secure and to maintain consistency with other 2007 Office release products, Office Access 2007 includes new and improved security features. Unified trust decisions are integrated with the Microsoft Office Trust Center. Trusted locations make it easy to trust all databases in secure folders. You can load an Office Access 2007 application with code or macros that are disabled to provide a more secure, sandboxed (that is, unsafe commands can't be run) experience. Trusted macros are run in Sandbox mode.
By using the new collaboration features of Office Access 2007, you can now, more effectively, collect information from others and share it in a security-enhanced environment on the Web.
Office Access 2007 integrates with Windows SharePoint Services in a variety of ways, helping you to take advantage of the many collaboration features in Windows SharePoint Services.
Data revision tracking You can view revision history at the record level with the help of Windows SharePoint Services. Suppose that you need to know who changed a row or when it was changed. You can find out by viewing the revision history.
Permission setting You can set access permissions to SharePoint lists with the help of Windows SharePoint Services. You can selectively allow or deny certain users access. You can assign limited reading permissions or full editing rights.
Retrieve from the Recycle Bin You can use the new Recycle Bin in Windows SharePoint Services to easily view deleted records and recover information that was erroneously deleted.
Opening Access forms and reports in Windows SharePoint Services Windows SharePoint Services users can open lists in rich Access views directly from a SharePoint site. Office Access 2007 forms, reports, and datasheets can appear listed alongside other views on a SharePoint site. When you choose an Access view, Office Access 2007 starts and opens the requested form, report, or datasheet. This makes it easy for you to run a rich Office Access 2007 report on a SharePoint site without needing to first start Office Access 2007. You can also choose to open a list in Access, and if a database doesn't exist, it is created automatically and prepopulated with a set of forms and reports based on your list.
Ability to move your database to a SharePoint site You can easily change your standalone database to a Windows SharePoint Services shared solution that stores data in linked SharePoint lists. The Move to SharePoint Site Wizard is well prepared and automatically migrates primary keys and relationships in ways that make sense.
The immediate benefits of a Windows SharePoint Services shared solution include shared browser-based access, centralized backup, database deployment based on a SharePoint site, and all of the benefits of using a rich, Access-based client in a server-based solution. IT departments gain a measure of predictability and control by sourcing database access on a SharePoint site. Users can subscribe to e-mail alerts for when records are added, deleted, or changed in a SharePoint list.
Integration with Windows SharePoint Services workflow Office Access 2007 supports workflow by using the Windows Workflow Services found in Windows SharePoint Services. You can create solutions that employ workflow routing and approval, that automatically assign tasks to other users, that report on project status, and that ensure that tasks are completed on time, for example.
Better performance for tables linked to SharePoint lists Optimizations that you make to the internal processing of tables linked to SharePoint lists provide a faster, smoother experience.
All Windows SharePoint Services data types now map to Access data types With new support for multivalued fields and attachments, Office Access 2007 now supports all of the data types found in Windows SharePoint Services, making the design and building of Windows SharePoint Services shared applications much simpler.
Ability to take SharePoint lists offline with Access If you need to take some work home with you, you can take your SharePoint lists offline with one click. Work on your data in Access and then synchronize your changes, or reconnect with the SharePoint site at a later time.
By using the new Data Collection feature, Office Access 2007 can automatically create a Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 form or an HTML form and embed it in the body of an e-mail message. You can then send the form to recipients selected from your Outlook contacts, or to the names of recipients stored in a field in your Access database.
You choose whether to collect new information or update existing information. Recipients then complete the form and return it. Office Outlook 2007 recognizes the incoming forms and automatically saves the data in your Office Access 2007 database — no retyping required.
Now you can export data to a PDF (Portable Document Format) or XPS (XML Paper Specification) file format for printing, posting, and e-mail distribution, provided that you first install the Publish as PDF or XPS add-in. Exporting a form, report, or datasheet to a .pdf or .xps file lets you capture information in an easy-to-distribute form that retains all of your formatting characteristics, but doesn't require others to install Access on their computers to print or review your output.
You can export data to a .pdf or an .xps format file from Office Access 2007 only after you install the add-in. For more information, see Enable support for other file formats, such as PDF and XPS.
New features in Office Access 2007 make it easier to import and export data. You can save an import or export operation and then reuse the saved operation the next time that you need to perform the same task. The Import Spreadsheet Wizard lets you override the data type chosen by Access, and you can import, export, and link to the new Office Excel 2007 file formats.
Microsoft Office Diagnostics is a series of diagnostic tests that can help you to discover why your computer is crashing. The diagnostic tests can solve some problems directly and may identify ways that you can solve other problems. Microsoft Office Diagnostics replaces the following Microsoft Office 2003 features: Detect and Repair, and Microsoft Office Application Recovery.
For more information, see Diagnose and repair crashing Office programs by using Office Diagnostics.
The following are some new features of the spelling checker.

King of the whiteboxers Super Micro, which is also one of the dominant suppliers of raw system components to other whiteboxers, has launched a line of clusters preconfigured to run the Hadoop big data muncher at the same time that it has reported its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ended in September.
Hadoop is a greenfield installation at most companies, so it is a perfect opportunity for Super Micro to get its foot in the door and demonstrate the price/performance advantages it has over the tier one server makers. Hadoop clusters come in different sizes of course, and a lot of companies start out small and more importantly, have different ratios of compute to storage for their Hadoop workloads.
And so Super Micro is offering both a 14U entry cluster and a 42U full-sized cluster as a basic building block and also a bunch of different two-socket server Xeon E5 server nodes with anywhere from four to twelve drives per node to store data in the Hadoop Distributed File System. The turnkey Hadoop clusters are certified to run Cloudera's CDH.
In general, with the core speed more or less constant for the past several years, companies try to give each core in a system its own disk drive, and like other systems on the market today, the Super Micro Hadoop clusters will probably not be configured with top-bin Xeon E5 parts, which would cram 16 cores into a two-socket server.
You might go with four-core and six-core Xeon E5s instead, especially considering that Hadoop is generally I/O and disk bound, not CPU bound. And, as you might expect, Super Micro's techies know this and are configuring the NameNode control freak for the Hadoop as well as the data nodes where processing is done and data stored with four-core 2.4GHz Xeon E5-2620 processors from Intel.
Super Micro's preconfigured Hadoop clusters
The SuperServer 815 NameNode server has two of these E5-2620 processors and 48GB of main memory. This is a 1U server node with four 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, and given the fact that the NameNode server is what keeps track of what data is stored where on HDFS,
Super Micro is recommending customers use fast 15K RPM SAS drives with 146GB of capacity. This same machine can be configured with 24GB of memory and either 1TB or 2TB drives and used as a data node if that floats your boat, but it will probably not give the right core-to-disk ratio.
The SuperServer 825 is probably a better data node, which comes in a 2U chassis and which has eight 3.5-inch drives. It would be better still, in terms of density, to have a two-socket machine that used the slowest eight-core Xeon E5s (and therefore the cheapest ones) and have sixteen 3.5-inch drives in a 2U chassis. But that would require mounting eight drives on the front and eight in the back or internally, and this is not an option. The SuperServer 826 data node has a dozen 3.5-inch SATA drives across the front of the 2U chassis feeding into its two-socket motherboard.
Super Micro is offering FatTwin tray servers in the preconfigured Hadoop stacks. One FatTwin setup has six 3.5-inch drives mounted on the front of each of the four server nodes in the 4U FatTwin chassis plus two drives per node that mount in the back, for a total of eight drives per node.
With a four-socket E5-2620, this is the right balance for Hadoop, and give you twice the density as the SuperServer 825 setup above. You can see now why companies are doing tray servers rather than standard rack servers for cloudy apps. Now you know why Super Micro didn't invent a sixteen-drive 2U rack server as mentioned above.
And if you want to use six-core Xeons or just have more and bigger cooling fans in each node, then there is a FatTwin configuration that is based on a server node that has four 3.5-inch drives in the front that are hot swappable plus up to six static 3.5-inch drives mounted on each server.
You could just plunk four drives on each node, plus the four in the front, to get the eight core-to-eight drive ratio right. Intel doesn't make a six-core Xeon processor, but you could no doubt buy six-core processors and turn off one of the cores dynamically and get slightly better density for the Hadoop cluster without sacrificing balance.
The prebuilt Hadoop clusters from Super Micro can be configured with the company's own Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches, and the consensus on the street is that Gigabit Ethernet is good enough for most clusters, but if you are going to be using any real-time extensions or NoSQL database add-ons to Hadoop, you might find that bandwidth is your new bottleneck, so choose carefully.
Pricing for the new clusters was not available.
Burned by memory and disk inventories
Super Micro also announced its financial results for the quarter ended in September, which is the first quarter of its fiscal 2013 year. Sales were up 9.2 per cent year-on-year to $270.7m, but you have to remember that the third quarter was weak for Super Micro a year ago because of the delayed launches of Intel's Xeon E5 and Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron 6200 processors. That revenue was at the low end of the company's guidance.
More telling, perhaps, is that sales at Super Micro were down 1.9 per cent sequentially from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 ended in June, which is not what you would have expected as the Xeon E5 ramp was getting going. Intel and AMD have both seen their server processor businesses under pressure, and so has IBM, which reported its System x server sales were off. Dell and Hewlett-Packard have yet to report the numbers for their latest quarters.
During the September quarter, research, development, sales, and market costs all rose significantly for Super Micro, and that cut its profits by nearly a factor ten, down to $899,000 from $8.5m in the year-ago period.
In a conference call with Wall Street analysts, Charles Liang, founder and CEO of Super Micro, said that systems represented 39.5 per cent of total business, at $107m, and that Xeon E5-based machines accounted for 40 per cent of company revenues across both the systems and components businesses at the company, up from 22 per cent in Q4 fiscal 2012 ended in June.
Howard Hideshima, CFO at the company, said that Super Micro shipped 55,000, down 3.5 per cent from the year ago period. But average selling prices for completed machines came in at $2,000, up 17.6 per cent from a year ago and therefore system sales by Super Micro are actually up 9.2 per cent year-on-year.
That said, the sequential decline from 62,000 machines peddled in the quarter ended in June is a bit disconcerting. ASPs have held stable at $2,000 in the past three quarters.
Super Micro raked in $164m in subsystems and component sales, which includes motherboards, daughter cards, machine enclosures, and so on, which other companies use to build machinery. That is a 17 per cent jump over the year-ago quarter and 7 per cent increase sequentially. The company sold 1.04 million subsystems and components, up 6.5 per cent from Q1 fiscal 2012.
In Q1 fiscal 2013, hyperscale data centers drove 8.8 per cent of total revenues, or about $23.8m, and Hideshima said that some big data center customers had delayed purchases. In Q4 2012, hyperscale data center customers who buy directly from Super Micro accounted for 15.2 per cent of revenues, or $42m, and in the quarter ended in March it was $38m.
Super Micro's guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 ending in December is much the same as last quarter, with sales expected to come in between $270m to $295m, and non-GAAP earnings should fall between 12 and 16 cents per share. ®
