Now, this is only for those people that host their own Word Press Blogs.  If you site is still working, you need to quickly get it updated.  Just log into the admin panel of your Word Press blog and update to the latest 2.8.6 version of Word Press.

Now, if your blog has been attacked, it can be quickly fixed.  You just need to upload the Index.php file (this is identical for all Word Press blogs), then log in and update your blog.  If you don’t have this file, go to http://www.wordpress.org and download the entire version of Word Press 2.8.6.  Now, if you are an advanced user, you can do the upgrade manually by following the instructions that come with the update.  For you novice users, just upload the index.php file that comes with the update the root directory of your blog, delete any index.html file you may see in your root directory, then log in, and update automatically.

You can also contact your hosting provider for any additional help.

Note: I’m using Unix Telnet to connect to the SMTP sever.

Let’s get started by trying to connect to the server:

Open a telnet session and login to the server box you would like to test sending emails from. I will be logging in to a DEV environment.

Step one:
Once logged in successfully, type:
$ telnet <Your-SMTP-Server> 25

And you shoud see…
Trying…
Connected to <Your-SMTP-Server>.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
220 <Your-SMTP-Server> ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.7p3+Sun/8.11.6; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:24:56 -0500 (CDT)

Great our DEV box allowed to connect to the SMTP server.

Step Two:
Send an email manually:
Lets identify ourselves with the HELO command and the domain name we are coming from. For example, if your work email address is your-name@yourcompany.com then your domain name would be yourcompany.com
helo yourcompany.com

And you should see…
250 <Your-SMTP-Server> Hello serverbox.yourcompany.com , pleased to meet you

Now type the email address you want the email to appear from:
mail from:test@yourcompany.com
250 2.1.0 test@yourcompany.com… Sender ok

Now type the email address you would want the message to go to:
rcpt to:you@yourcompany.com
250 2.1.5 you@yourcompany.com… Recipient ok

Now, lets type the email message. You will need to issue the command “data” then start typing your message, once done click enter and type “.” And then enter. A single point “.” On a line by itself followed by and enter means you are done typing your message.
data
354 Enter mail, end with “.” on a line by itself
This is a test email using SMTP.
.
250 2.0.0 m3EJaMf21424 Message accepted for delivery

To send your message just type “quit” in the command line and your done.
quit
221 2.0.0 <Your-SMTP-Server> closing connection
Connection closed.

How often do you see your users running queries and then writing down values that are returned by the query so that they can then navigate to the appropriate page and view the underlying details of those vouchers, journals, vendors, etc.? Wouldn’t it be nice if they could just click on a hyperlink embedded within the query results and have the page pop up in a separate browser window instead?

I attended a session at Oracle OpenWorld at which a consultant demonstrated how hyperlinks can be used in PS Query to drill down to individual values that are returned by a query. There wasn’t a lot of detail given on how to do this, but once I got home I decided to give it a shot, and within an hour I had it working. This is one of the coolest features I’ve ever seen in PS Query, and I’m sure your users will love it.

%EffDtCheck(recordname [correlation_id1], correlation_id2, as_of_date)

The %EffDtCheck construct expands into an effective date subquery suitable for a Where clause.

recordname: Specify the record name to use as the record in the effective-date checking. This can be bind variable, a record object, or a record name in the form recname.
correlation_id1: (Optional) Specify the letter used inside the effective-dating subselect. If this parameter isn’t specified, recordname is used.
correlation_id2: Specify the letter already assigned to the main record in the From clause of the SQL statement.
as_of_date: Specify the date to use in the effective date. This can be a bind variable, a variable, or a hard-coded date. The value for as_of_date is automatically wrapped in%DateIn unless as_of_date is already wrapped in %DateIn or refers to other database columns.

You need tweak the regedit setting on the PC where you run the compare report in the following way.

1. Click on Start Menu – > Run
2. Type Regedit

3. Click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER

4. Click on Software

5. Click on PeopleSoft – > PeopleTools -> Release8.40

6. Click on PSIDE

7. Right Click on PSIDE and Select New DWORD value and create the following DWORD values.
UpgHtmlOutput – for HTML output
UpgTextOutput – for tab delimited text
UpgCsvOutput – for comma delimited CSV output

8. Double click on the DWORD and Set each value to 1 that you want to create reports for. To turn off, set value to 0, or delete the entry.

9. Now run the compare reports and you will have your compare reports in HTML , CSV or Text format files in the same directory as it was for PRT files.

Fortunately, there is an easy way of preventing that from happening. So, lets get straight to it.

After your have created the article you would like to make sticky on your front page. Navigate to your Front Page Manager, locate the your article and in the “Order” column enter “-1″ and click save. (see picture below)

It can’t get any easier, can it?

Note: For the SQL below to work, your password needs to be the same in both environments. If not, then
a connection using the below will not be possible.
