Issue:
After uploading a Reporting Services Report to a SharePoint site, clicking on the drop down next to the report to bring up Manage Data Sources, Manage Subscriptions, Manage Paramters and Manage Process Options returned the following error:
The resource object with classname of “ReportServer†and key of “DataSourceList†was not found. DataSourceList was replaced with either SubscriptionList, ParameterList or ProcessingList dependent on which menu was selected.
The environment is setup with Two Front End Web Servers and One Central Application SharePoint server.
Answer:
It turns out that it had to do with the Web Front End servers not configured the same as the Central SharePoint server and this is what was causing the error.
The following are the steps that were done to get the menus the work as intended:
It turns out the ReportServer.resx was missing on the two front ends. In IIS on the Web Front Ends, navigate to WebsitesDefault Web SiteApp_GlobalResources and paste a copy of ReportServer.resx which was found in the InetPub folder tree.
The ReportServer.resx is the resource object XML file that has sections for DataSourceList, ParameterList, SubscriptionList, etc., which would explain the error we saw if the file was missing.
In the event that you run into this in the future, checking the Web Front End servers as well as the Central Admin server and ensuring that the files are in synch is a good troubleshooting tactic to solve any strange behavior.

Radio, Cell phone and Television most owned ICT assets
Brenda Zulu
The Central Statistics Office (CSO) 2006 Living Conditions Monitoring Survey (LCMS IV) results in Zambia indicate that the most owned assets were the radio at 55.6 percent, Cell phones at 24.2 percent and Television at 24 .1 percent while the least owned asset was the internet connection with 0.1 percent.
The CSO June monthly publications shows that the 2006 LCMS IV collected information on information communication and technology (ICTs) facilities which included radios, televisions, video player, land phone, cellular phone, satellite dish and decoder, computer and internet connection.
Analysis by rural and urban shows that, ownership of a radio, cell phone and television was more in urban areas that in rural areas. The proportion of households that owned a radio in urban areas was 65.8 percent compared to 50.1 percent in rural areas while that of those who owned a cell phone was 53 and 8.8 percent in urban and rural areas respectively. The proportion of households that owned a television was 54.6 percent in urban areas compared to 7.8 percent in rural areas.
The survey also revealed that there has been an increase in the proportion of households that own cell phone while those that owned land telephone lines declined. The proportion of household that own a cell phone increased from 10.8 percent in 2004 to 24.2 percent in 2006. The proportion of household that own land telephone line declined from 5.2 percent to 1.2 percent during the same period.
Analysis of ICT assets by sex of household head shows that male headed household own more ICT facilities that female headed households. About 62 percent of male headed households and 35.5 percent of female headed households own a radio. The results also indicate that 26% male headed household owned a cell phone than 18.4 percent female headed households.

If you are migrating DTS packages to SQL Server 2005 or 2008...
… your options include
1. Saving the DTS packages to the new server and executing them directly.
2. Running DTS Migration Wizard and letting it convert the packages to SSIS packages for control flow invoking DTS components for the data flow.
3. Rewriting DTS packages completely in SSIS.
Neither option guarantees a performance gain. In fact, moving data directly from a source to a destination table without much transformation logic you will likely see similar performance for all the options. So unless you are taking advantage of new features in SSIS, you are better off selecting the option that fits best into your operating procedures.
If you continue using DTS packages on the new server, you will certainly need Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components. That applies to options 1 and 2. With option 2, the Migration Wizard generates SSIS control flow, but creates an embedded DTS package for every Data Pump, instead of converting it to a Data Flow Task. Option 3 will likely require the most amount of work, and that's where the fun begins!

Southern Africa Telecentre Network underway
By Brenda Zulu
Efforts to set up Southern Africa Telecentre Network (SATNET) are underway with the Zambia Association for Advancement of ICTs (ZAA-ICTs) being the lead network for the project.
ZAA-ICT Executive Coordinator, Dean Mulozi said there was need to have this network to help support the information development of rural telecentres. He said they were facilitating the development of the SATNET.
A visit to Chinyunyu Community Multipurpose Telecentre in rural Zambia showed that when a community is involved in the setting up of a Telecentre the people embrace the centre as their own. Set up in 2006, the centre last year installed solar energy and a very small aperture terminal (VSAT) with the help of UNIDO which has enabled farmers to charge their mobile phone barriers and have access to the internet.
It is important that the centre realizes the money that it pays to the Communications Authority of Zambia as regulators fees and also the monthly subscription for the VSAT connection which is a very big challenge as the centre was in a rural location.
Austin Chilala Head of Kasis Agricultural Training Centre said the centre had received a seven acres of land as a donation to the project from Chief Bunda Bunda. The steering committee now plans to put up demonstration plots for the farmers and housing for stuff.
It is clear that Chinyunyu Telecentre does not need to exist in isolation but needs to learn from other telecentres are sustaining themselves which makes initiatives of setting up SATNET relevant.
There is also need of creating an electronic network before creating a physical network as this is very vital now that telecentres are being encouraged to provide internet services to their communities.
So far feedback from Chinyunyu farmers include that fact that they had learnt how to process chili and expand their fish farming activities as they accessed information from Chinyunyu Telecentre.
