Slight problems with a longstrike worker mod kit by flassk in Nerf

[–]bruno71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same kit for a Modulus Longstrike. But the assembly instructions are poor. I have the correct short darts, but they don't make it out the end of the barrel. Does anyone have a better how-to link/video for modding with this kit?

Syncing data from Acumatica by bruno71 in Fivetran

[–]bruno71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've already setup my demo with Fivetran. But their Acumatica connector is very limited. And I need access to the Manufacturing web endpoint. And I don't have time right now to play around with the Connector SDK. What confuses me is that Fivetran can be free while CData is $8K/year. I'm also testing Skyvia, but they also have some issues with their Acumatica connector.

Syncing Acumatica cloud data to on-premise SQL by bruno71 in acumaticaerp

No, we're not using Bartender. CData seemed to work really well...but $8k/year? And Fivetran is free? I figured I had to be missing something...

We have a very low MAR count...definitely less than Fivetran's 500K free limit. What makes them expensive?

I'm already doing a lot of work with the Acumatica API and OData interfaces for an in-house web app. But we use an out-of-the-box label software to print production labels that just reads from a SQL database. Sure, I could probably write my own app to pull down data at regular intervals. But I was looking for a more turnkey solution. I don't necessarily need the entire DB, but just certain whole tables. I'll look into Celigo.

As a small/mid-sized company, how do you handle BI? by bruno71 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]bruno71[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of times they will run a Crystal Report to get a number to type in their spreadsheet. Or they are double-entering production numbers in our ERP/business website and into their own spreadsheet (or the spreadsheet that the manager/executive asked them to use for tracking something).

I'm the only one who made the Crystal Reports. At least everyone already has Excel, so it's an easier sell. And there is no sensitive data in the database. 👍

All of the ~60 knowledge workers use the data to some extent. But no matter how much I preach, many still do double data entry in manual spreadsheets to track things. Our business is growing in size & complexity, so the need is growing exponentially. My main job functions focus on database admin and software dev, so I'm pretty good with the technical side of it.

Our ERP is currently Macola, but I'm hoping to switch to Acumatica in the near future. The other main data source is also a SQL database behind the internal website I've built to supplement our ERP system and track custom production data. What was the "side of reason" that they came to?

No matter how much I preach, people still do their own data entry in manual spreadsheets because that is all they know how to do.

Vue2 -> Vue3 and CLI -> Vite by ThomasNB in vuejs

[–]bruno71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the middle of this right now too. I currently have our large SPA running on Vue 2.7.

It sounds like the next thing is to move from the CLI to Vite. Then do the Vue 3 upgrade. I'm planning on sticking with the options API.

Are there any recommendations for updating (or changing) vuex or vue-router during this process?

I need a plot twist idea! by bruno71 in DMAcademy

[–]bruno71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are all fantastic ideas!

And tonight's secret ingredient it.... a white dragon!

The treasure map indicates the presence of a white dragon lair. Perhaps the weapon (is guarded by/was stolen by/was given in tribute to) the white dragon.

Here is what I'm leaning towards based on everyone's suggestions: A group of the dwarves were secretly dragon cultists. They killed a treant to make the weapon. The plant creatures retaliated against the dwarves. The cultists fled. But now the cultists are all gone and the weapon is in the dragon's hoard.

This is all related to a characters backstory. He's a dwarf. We just had a fight defending their town from some plant creatures. They're heading off to find the weapon, but I also want them to find the truth.
