    The Legacy of James Snyder: The Father of PMI

    Is there a question here? This looks more like a NEWS item.

    Product owner and Scrum master can be same person?

    Project Management Software

    Something like Serena Business Mashups? Or maybe JIRA? It depends on your other needs. I would make a requirements document - what do you NEED (must haves), DESIRES (major work savings), and NICE (nice to haves). Then create a RFP, Request for Proposal, and send to various SW companies...

    How to build Dimensional model for commission received and return

    It seems that every policy will have a actual commission, so I would put that data in the Policy Fact table. With a special value for "not yet received" to avoid situations with nulls. From a processing and performance point of view, I would put the "return" data in the same table with a...

    A way to manage remote projects

    Buyer Beware. All the postings in this thread appear to be from Vendors, who will naturally have a slant toward their product(s). They will also emphasize things that they do well but their competitors do not. They will not usually tell you what they do poorly compared to their competitors...

    Rmcobol InstantSQL

    yeah, maybe. I am not a RM Cobol person. I'm mostly Microfocus, and various proprietary flavors like IBM mainframe, Unisys, etc. And we used Oracle Pro*COBOL for our SQL calls from Microfocus. In Oracle, the process is called "Binding", which may or may not be the IBM or RM terminology.

    Rmcobol InstantSQL

    1. Have you confirmed that there is data in the CustID column in DB2? 2. Have you confirmed the size and data type of the CustID column in DB2? Is it Char or Varchar? Is it size 9? Are you getting truncation because the DB2 field is larger and there are, perhaps, leading spaces? Is ODBC...

    Group by challenge

    I believe Andy is correct. You must use that actual field name or the position number of the field in the GROUP BY.

    user name is not unique

    Is There a Best Windows OS to Upgrade a CA Server to?

    It's always best to be close to the latest version. We never upgraded immediately when a new release came out - we let other companies do that. But after the release is reasonably stable, we would upgrade. My vote would be for 2016.

    Speed of START verses READ on an indexed file

    ummm. you could run a trial with test programs - say perform each routine 10000 times and check the execution times.
