Register on-prem db as Dataset in Azure ML Studio UI - azure-machine-learning-studio

how can I connect the new Azure Machine Learning Studio UI to an on-premise SQL DB via an on-premise data Gateway?
In the classic version, once the gateway was installed and registered the Import data module offered it as a dataset type. In the new UI however it doesn't seem to be available.

I just got confirmation from the pm of AML, on-prem SQL is not supported in AML yet, but it's now on our plan with no ETA.
I will forward your feedback to product team as well.

R script to connect to Azure Devops, pull, transform & merge data from Azure Devops with other resources into Power BI

My company is transitioning from TFS on-premises to TFS Azure Devops. We have several Power BI R scripts that utilize R to connect to the TFS_Warehouse DB (on the old version) & other sources and transform the data before further manipulating & presenting the reports data with Power BI. Now that we will be migrating to Azure Devops, my understanding is there is no back-end database to which I can connect to pull the TFS data.
My question is: Is there a function/set of functions in R that allows one to connect to the Azure Devops Analytics Views so that the data transformations & data merges with other resources can still be made in R prior to further manipulation in Power BI? If so, can someone provide an example?
Transitioning from TFS on-premises to TFS Azure Devops
If the target server you mentioned is still TFS(Azure Devops server 2019) rather than Azure Devops service, you don't need worry about there's no Back-end database can for your server use. For Azure Devops server 2019, the database still available for it. You can still use previous R script to fetch and transform the data.
But, if the server you are transit to is Azure Devops service, or you hope there has R functions which can connect to the Analytics Views in Azure Devops server 2019, unfortunate to say, No, until now we have not expand this function(s) into the R packages.
No matter it is Azure DevOps Services or Azure DevOps Server 2019, we all provide the Power BI Integration with them. But, this does not support merge the data from other resource.
As a work around, I recommend you fetch the data from Azure Devops into Excel first, then use Power query which can combine the data from different resource to combine these data with another source.
We just publish the feature for integrating PowerBI with Azure DevOps Analytics, for user to get more customized operation and data sources, expand the connection to another data source should be a good feature.
You can raise a suggestion feature ticket to our official suggestion forum. Our PM will review these suggestions regularly, and consider to choose features that are more conducive to giving users a better experience into our Roadmap.

Is it possible to easily migrate data from light SQL Server Express to Azure with a dacpac file?

I'm currently trying to deploy a website with Azure which I did following these steps
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/get-started/csharp/tutorial-aspnet-core-ef-step-05?view=vs-2019#publish-to-azure-app-service
however the data from the database didn't get saved, like it did in the video. I think this may be because I have 2 data contexts; one for users and one for general app models.
I believe I have to figure out how to migrate my data from SQL Server Express provided by Entity Framework to Azure.
It seems like it should be doable from this link
but then this one makes it sound like you need a .bak file.
Just want to know if my Visual Studio data can easily transferred to Azure this way. would it be easier to publish my "data tier application" or extract and copy what I need to azure. Kind of overwhelmed at all the documentation trying to find the easiest way the small amount of data for my test website.
How to migrate my data from SQL Server Express provided by Entity Framework to Azure?
No you can not do that, import and export feature is not available with SQL Server Express. You can reference this link: Limitations of SQL Server Express.
As you posted the screen shoot, no function can help you migrate the database to Azure.
So if you really want migrate the database from local SQL Server to Azure, you'd better using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS). There are so many ways, such as:
Migrate on-premises SQL Server or SQL Server on Azure VMs to Azure SQL Database using the Data Migration Assistant
Tutorial: Migrate SQL Server to a single database or pooled database in Azure SQL Database offline using DMS
Copy data to and from SQL Server by using Azure Data Factory
Migrating SQL Database to Azure SQL Database using SSMS Export/Import
If you are first time to migrate, we suggest to you use the Azure Data Migration Assistant as Alberto Morillo said.
Hope this helps.
Before trying to migrate the database to Azure you need to first verify the database and its objects are compatible to Azure SQL Database. If you don't do that the migration may fail.
My suggestion is to use Azure Data Migration Assistant (DMA) to perform an assessment of your database and make sure there are no blocking points that can make the migration not possible. Make adjustments based on the report generated by the DMA tool and then use any migration method (including extracting\importing a Data-tier Application) to migrate your database to Azure SQL Database. DMA can also migrate your database to Azure SQL Database and for me is the easiest way to do it.
About restoring a native backup to Azure SQL Database, that is not possible. You can export your database as bacpac and then import it to Azure SQL Database, or you can use DMA or Data Migration Service to migrate your databases to Azure SQL Database.
Adding to what is already said . You can dump all the data in txt or csv file and put that in the local drive . In Azure we have the Azure data factory (ADF) , which has a copy activity , this is very powerful and looks like will be good for your scenario . As mentioned before the data types are the key . You will have to install something called integrated Runtime ( IR ) and it should work .

Azure PaaS Compatibility Check

I have a client willing to move to Azure PaaS with their ASP.NET web service layer. We are likely to move as Azure Web App with some jobs as Web Jobs. Is there any tool that I can run to check whether the code is compatible with PaaS Web App?
I heard a tool called xRay but not able to find it out. Would love to get your suggestions on this?
What about SQL Server On Prem to Azure SQL - is there any similar tool to check compatibility?
Azure App Service Migration Assistant
The Azure App Service Migration site and the tool can be utilized to migrate sites from Windows and Linux web servers to Azure App Service. As part of the migration the tool will create Web Apps and databases on Azure if needs be, publish content and publish your database.
SQL Database Migration Wizard
The SQL Database Migration Wizard can be used to migrate an on-premises SQL Server database to the latest Azure SQL Database Update (V12).

deploying VISUAL STUDIO 2010 web application to azure cloud services

I have a Web application in Visual Studio 2010 in 4.0 Framework.I want to deploy this app to azure cloud services.The application contains a local sql database as well as session variables.Can anyone please guide me on the steps to follow regarding the same.Do I have to create another database or the local database will do?
You can use a local database for an Azure web application.
However, as mentioned in this article, if you want to reduce the impact that latency will have on your application, you should use an Azure SQL Database.
If you need to migrate your local database to an Azure SQL Database you can look at some of Azure SQL's migration options.
Hope this helps!

Oracle PL / SQL Web toolkit on WLS 10.3

Anyone has any experience using application developed using Oracle PL / SQL Web toolkit and deploying it on WLS 10.3 ?
We have an old application created in Oracle PL / SQL Web toolkit which is currently hosted on OAS. The client wants us to migrate the application to Weblogic server (10.3). I wanted to know if anyone has heard of any plug-in or has any experience in doing this ?
Any pointers in this direction will be really helpful.
Thanks.
Vivek
Did some digging around this is what i found:
There are two ways of getting this migration done without re-writing the code:
Install OHS(with mod PL/SQL) using Oracle SOA Suite 10g(10.1.3.3) and use .
Upgrade HTML DB from its existing version to Apex 3.2 or higher.
Oracle Documentation says there are 2 ways of doing it: In order to run, Oracle Application Express must have access to either the “embedded PL/SQL gateway” or “Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql”.
With Oracle 11g documentation website confirms that Oracle HTTP server is still compatible:
“Oracle HTTP Server: Starting with Oracle Database 11g, Oracle HTTP Server is available on a separate media shipped with Oracle Database. In the previous releases, this product was available as a Companion CD component.
Note: To install Oracle HTTP Server, use the Oracle Fusion Middleware Web Tier Utilities 11g (11.1.1.2.0) media or download.”
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/whatsnew.htm#sthref10
To set up OHS and mod_plsql this is the official guide (Downloading from OTN and Configuring Oracle HTTP Server)
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/install.310/e10496/overview.htm#CHDCEJIE
[EDIT:] Let me add this, PL/SQL Web Toolkit & mod_plsql has NOTHING to do with Weblogic. The mod is designed to run on an Apache Instance. Oracle OHS is nothing but modified Apache 1.3. You can dare and try to install modplsql (Or its opensource version mod_owa) on vanilla Apache 2.2 instance but the risk is all yours...
