We can use the Replication Alert Monitor (RAM) to monitor the state of our replication environment. The Replication Alert Monitor is a program, which comes bundled with the replication code which checks the status of various replication objects and reports on these.
In this article by Pav Kumar-Chatterjee, author of IBM InfoSphere Replication Server and Data Event Publisher, we will cover the following:
- Checking which monitors are active
- Changing or reinitializing a monitor
- Stopping a monitor
- Suspending or resuming a monitor

Report components in NAV 2009: Part 1
In this article David Studebaker, we will review the components that make up reports. We'll look in detail at the triggers, properties, and controls that are part of NAV reports. We will study the Report Designer tools that are a combination of pure NAV (the C/SIDE Report Designer) and the Visual Studio Report Designer that is tightly integrated into NAV 2009. We'll create some reports with the Report Designer tools. We'll also modify a report or two using the Report Designer. We'll examine the data flow of a standard report and the concept of reports used for processing only (with no printed or displayed output).

In this article by Ned Riaz, Jason Edwards, and Rich Babaran, we will explain how planning data that has been entered and saved in the Contributor Web Client can be made available for reporting purposes by using the publish process. We then explain the different options that can be used for accessing this data for reporting in real time and through the publish process. After reading this article, you should be able to:
- Make the user-submitted plan data available, by using the Contributor Web Client, for reporting, analytics, and export this data to other databases.
- Understand how to access this data for IBM Cognos BI reporting in real time or through the publish process
Reports and Statistics in OpenX Ad Server
In this article by Murat Yilmaz, author of OpenX Ad Server: Beginner's Guide, we will learn how to provide every tool to efficiently analyze the performance of websites, website zones, advertisers, campaigns, and banners. We will learn how we can get such statistics online. Then, we will investigate how we can export the data into a spreadsheet such as in Excel and analyze it with a real example.
In this article series, we shall learn:
- How to view advertisers and campaign statistics
- How to export data to Excel for further analysis
- Types of advanced OpenX reports
- How to retrieve advertising analysis reports using Excel
Request Flow in Kohana 3
Kohana utilizes the HMVC design pattern, and allows us to create requests essentially anywhere within our applications. The request flow is the order in which files are loaded, starting with index.php and moving throughout the framework, loading essential files, processing the requests, and rendering any output.
In this article by Jason D. Straughan, author of Kohana 3.0 Beginner’s Guide, we will learn:
- What HMVC is, and how it works
- Kohana’s Request Flow
- How to use the Request class
Resource-Oriented Clients with REST Principles
Resource-Oriented clients are client programs that consume services designed in accordance with the REST architectural principles. The key REST principles include:
- The concept of resource (for example, a document is a resource)
- Every resource given a unique ID (for example, document URL)
- Resources can be related (for example, One document linking to another)
- Use of standard (HTTP, HTML, XML)
- Resources can have multiple forms (for example, status of a document, updated, validated, deleted)
- Communicate in a stateless fashion using HTTP (for example, subsequent requests not related to each other)
In this article by Samisa Abeysinghe, we will study how we can implement clients to consume those services. We will use a real-world example, the simplified library system, to learn from scratch how to design clients with REST principles in mind.

In this article by Remo Laubacher, the author of Creating concrete5 Themes, we will learn about responsive themes that we can add to our themes and how media queries are an important part of responsive layouts. This article will also help you on how to scale pictures on different types of devices. It also covers areas regarding what it takes to display websites for retina screens.
Before we start adding responsive elements to our theme, let's have a look at the basic techniques we're going to work with. When building a site for a device with a small screen, we have to make sure our elements scale relative to the size of the screen. We might also have to create a different navigation. A wide drop-down navigation would probably not work well on a cell phone.

In this article by Jose Sandoval, we will move into the world of design for fully complaint RESTul web services. We usually talk about creating web services that are noun dependent as opposed to verb dependent. In this article we will look at what that means in terms of the design process by designing a blogging application.

In this article by Jose Sandoval, we implement the web service requirements we outlined in the previous article on RESTful Web Services Design, with the RESTEasy framework. RESTEasy is not only a RESTful framework, but is also JBoss's umbrella project that provides other frameworks to build RESTful web services. As part of the REST facilities, RESTEasy fully implements the JAX-RS specification. Subsequently, we only look at how we use RESTEasy to implement RESTful web services. At the time of this writing, the released version is 1.1GA.

Retopology is the process of reducing the polygon count of a high-resolution mesh tidily, without losing key detail. Quite often, sculpted meshes have polygon counts in the millions and it is messy to decimate or optimize them automatically. There are specialist tools for retopology, such as Topogun and 3D-Coat, but 3ds Max does include its own retopology tools, found in the Freeform section of the Ribbon.
This article by Thomas Mooney, author of 3ds Max Speed Modeling for 3D Artists shows different ways to get a highly detail model down to a useable polygon count without losing key detail from the original, primarily looking at the brush-based PolyDraw tools.

Mobile devices are very powerful today and are getting more dominant with time. The success behind the phenomenal growth of smart phones is the mobile application loaded in them, which increases their functionality exponentially. Mobile applications can be developed by using different frameworks and programming languages based on the type of mobile device. Different mobile devices use different hardware components, therefore, mobile software and mobile applications have to be developed using different software architectures. It is a very painful process if we have to develop applications for all of the smart phones in the market. So Rhomobile came up with the idea of developing an application with one code base and building it for all smart phones. Rhomobile products are large and part of a fast-moving framework.
In this article by Abhishek Nalwaya, author of Rhomobile Beginners Guide, we will take a look at some of the most frequently asked questions on Rhomobile for first time users.
