Thoughts and Things

Let's start with the essential upgrades (amazon links provided)

• Gulfcoast Robotics Y Carriage Plate Upgrade for Maker Select and Wanhao Duplicator I3 3D Printers  $23

  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B251KBS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

  The Y carriage plate that comes with your printer is thin rolled aluminum.  Because of that it will warp.  The replacement certainly won't.

• Gulfcoast Robotics Borosilicate Glass for Wanhao Duplicator i3 Anet A8 MP maker Select 3d Printers, 4mm Thick
  Let's face it, unless you like pealing the Plate off every so often, you want something that will fit your printer and last for a long time this does both
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B2YLWF9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   

• Silicone Thermal Pad for GPU Heatsink
  This is going to go between the bed on the printer and the glass plate above.  Cut it into 2 inch squares and arrange them evenly about your bed before putting the glass plate on.
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PPEW52/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

• You'll want improved cooling. So this will likely be an early print.
  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1025471
  And you'll need a fan:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079BPS9Q8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   

• You'll want to remove the spring tensioners on the X and Y belts and tighten them up without any
   

Optional upgrades:

• After you wreck a PTFE tube or two printing and get sick of replacing them, you'll want the all-metal hot end by Micro Swiss
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E1HANLS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
• While you're there you might want to install a replacement extruder plate and level
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WVB6CYD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
• You'll also probably wreck the Kafton tape around the hotend, so you might as well install this while you're there
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079K8NWM4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
• You might also want to replace the Extruder gears with better ones.
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZYG5Z47/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   

ADVI3++ is an optional firmware upgrade.

• LCD Enclosure instructions: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:236932
• LCD Enclosure specific for the MMSP: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2758687
• You'll also need an 8GB MicroSD card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00200K1TS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

How I wish SSRS had a best fit line capability built into its charts... but at least up to SQL 2014, alas such is not the case.

So I cobbled together a SQL function to calculate it for me.  The idea was I could pass in a table of data to the function and get the M and X values back.

To do this we need a table we can pass in as a parameter.

CREATE TYPE [dbo].[LineRegressionSource] AS TABLE(
	[Period] [NUMERIC](18, 4) NULL,
	[PartitionKey] [INT] NULL,
	[Value] [NUMERIC](18, 4) NULL
)

I have a schema in my Datawarehouse called Tools, I put things there to be used by report writers and the like

CREATE SCHEMA Tools AUTHORIZATION dbo

And the function, this makes heavy use of a windowing function.. what I figure best is to build a table variable and populate it and then feed it in.

/************************************************************************
FUNCTION:			LinearRegression
AUTHOR:				mtassin
DATE:				2016-03-03
PURPOSE:			To calculate the slope and Y Intercept of a best fit line
					given a table of data.  Based on the following equations
		
						y =mx + b

						where m = n(SUM(xy)) - SUM(x)*SUM(y)
									-----------------
								  n(SUM(x^2))-(SUM(x))^2

						and b = (SUM(y) - m(SUMX))/COUNT(X)
Parameters:			
@Table     LineRegressionSource  (Period int,PartitionKey int ,Value Numeric(19,3))

								Note, that this Linear Regression function expects to receive data in pre-summarized form
								i.e. Only one row per value that would be plotted on a graph.
								Period corresponds to a coordinate point on the X Axis
								PartitionKey allows for multiple sets of data to be simultaneously linearly regressed, partitioned by said key
								Value  corresponds to a coordinate point on the Y axis.


						Value
                         |

						 |     x

			-------------+--------------  Period

Ever have to move your databases to different drives for whatever reason?  For me it's a SAN change-out.

I didn't write it, but thus far copying an environment has always been a pain in SQL

Jeff Jordan has written a handy stored proc that scripts out the environment and folders.

http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Integration+Services+(SSIS)/135173/

With SQL Server 2012 Microsoft introduced the SSIS Project Deployment system to better integrate SSIS with SQL Server.

With that comes a special database SSISDB that tracks packages and executions of packages.

There's a maintenance script that deletes old package history. cleanup_server_retention_window

This script depends on using ON DELETE CASCADE triggers to delete records at the top of a tree of tables and use those deletions to cascade down.

Where I have worked, I've found that when you run hundreds or thousands of executions of SSIS packages in a day this causes a problem.

The issue is that the deletion at the top table (internal.operations) as it cascades down through these tables the lock escalation will ultimately result in multiple table locks which will keep any other SSIS packages from executing.
 

--[internal].[operations]
 --  [internal].[executions]
 --      [internal].[executable_statistics]
 --      [internal].[execution_component_phases]
 --      [internal].[execution_data_statistics]
 --      [internal].[execution_data_taps]
 --      [internal].[execution_parameter_values]
 --      [internal].[execution_property_override_values]
 --  [internal].[extended_operation_info]
 --  [internal].[operation_messages] --(DATA HEAVY)
 --      [internal].[event_messages] --(DATA HEAVY)
 --          [internal].[event_message_context]
 --  [internal].[operation_os_sys_info]
 --  [internal].[operation_permissions]
 --  [internal].[validations]

I've seen a script that will erase the SSISDB's entire execution history via truncate.

http://thinknook.com/truncate-ssis-catalog-database-operation-log-tables-2012-11-03/

but this isn't great when you're only wanting to routinely purge history older than a given date.

So I came up with this... it's less set oriented than I would care for, but it keeps the lock escalation from table locks which will allow other SSIS jobs to execute.
It starts at the bottom tables and deletes rows from there in batches as specified by the @batch_size parameter, then works its way back up the tree.

You might want to play with @batch_size to find where your locking sweet spot is. 

The @operations_divisor is what to divide your batch size by.  This is because when you delete rows at that level, the FK Cascade will descend to every table in the chain, and may escallate locks there even though we've done everything we can to avoid that. 

You'll also likely want to disable Lock Escalation on the SSISDB tables because this will still cascade down the FK chains, just after deleting the records from the lower level tables first.

Disable Lock Escalation

Thanks to Ben Kubicek to referencing this article.  http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/SSISDB/138330/

Based on that, we'll also grant execute on my proc to our job owner.  Wasn't an issue for me, as I've pretty much made sa own all of my standard maintenance agent jobs, but for those of you who need it.

GRANT EXECUTE ON internal.cleanup_server_retention_window_bottomup TO [##MS_SSISServerCleanupJobUser##]

I personally changed my job's execution to just specify the retention window, mostly because getting to that configuration setting to confirm my values match didn't matter to me, but Ben also has a good point, if you want that configuration value to drive your retention window, add this bit of code.

declare @retention_window_length int

select @retention_window_length = cast(property_value as int) from [catalog].[catalog_properties] where property_name = 'RETENTION_WINDOW'

exec [internal].[cleanup_server_retention_window_bottomup] @retention_window_length = @retention_window_length
