This tripped me up. It looks to be quite simple. You specify a folder, a file, and a token placeholder start/end. So if you define a pipeline variable named SomeConfigSetting, and in your config file you have _SomeConfigSetting_, it will do a string replacement.

So I got an Apple Watch for Christmas, the n-1 gen. My expectations were on the low “it’s just a gadget” side. However, it is the little things that amaze me. Here is one – Our company uses Symantic VIP Access. So when I logon to the corporate network, I need to “approve” my access on the VIP cell phone app. With the watch, that notification will jiggle ......

I cloned a stage in the release pipeline which had a Web App Manage task. The App Pool specified user name/password look as if it was cloned too as the variable “app_pool_svc_account_password” showed “********”. However, you need to enter and save it for this cloned task.

Love my iPhone 5s but it was brutal after IOS 11 upgrade. I couldn’t even swipe to answer the phone. If your a fan-boy you can probably do this yourself, but I took it into the Apple Store and they restored it back to base 11.0.3 using the iTunes app on a Mac wiping everything. And bingo, we’re back in business. Every couple of years going back to metal ......

Solution: sqlplus / as sysdba SQL> alter system set local_listener='(ADDRESS=(P... scope=both; System altered. SQL> alter ......

Unless you happen to Google {iPhone stuck saying searching}, then the 13.5 Million results returned may sway your opinion. So, you may want to think twice about that service plan. Apple Store only replaces screens and batteries, but will swap your iPhone 6 for $300.

The install went fine. I can connect when I use Start>Oracle XE>Run SQL Command Line, however, I cannot connect when using a third party client. Running tnsping xe or lsnrctl status also shows things in a failed state. I think the solution has to do with some funky networking stuff where sometimes I’m VPN-ed into a work network and sometimes not. ......
