New York Re-Visit

Please allow me to express my gratitude towards the team behind the upcoming SQLSaturday in New York for allowing me to speak on Security in Analysis Services (SSAS). I am really looking forward to get back to the Big Apple, and also very exited about delivering my first session on another Continent.
I have only visited New York once before, on the way home from PASS Summit 2014 I made a stop over to watch The New York Jets (1-8) host my favorite NFL team The Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3). In the weeks leading up to that game, Big Ben had just set an NFL record of throwing 12 touchdowns in two consecutive games, so you can imagine, expectations were very high. And you can imagine my disappointment, as The Steelers lost 13-20 by poor performance (M. Vick had as great 1st qtr). I left with 8 minutes on the clock, in order to get from MetLife to JFK in time for my flight, via public transportation (so if you want to know how it’s done, I did it).

Enough with the Fottball alright – This time in New York, my 2nd time, I will be speaking at the SQLSaturday event about Analysis Services Security (and as the entire NFL is in trainingcamp, except maybe The Patriots who will be in court, there’s no Football this time around).

My session will go from a brief introduction to the SSAS way of dealing with security (which is quite opposite to std. Windows way), over a quick guided tour through the GUI in SQL Server Management Studio. Most of the session will however cover how to set security through the use of PowerShell and the Analysis Services Management Objects (AMO). I hope to leave the attendees with a high level of confidence and insight into the ways of the SSAS security model. I also hope to broaden the toolbox and discuss the challenges of those attending my session. For me, I hope to be inspired by some of the great work that is done out there. So please join me on a great May morning in New York to discuss on SSAS Security.

PS: My wife still has no clue, so please keep it quiet 🙂

Hush hush about the #sqlsat380 event…

Spoiler Alert: If you know my wife – hush hush, please let me go through with the surprise 🙂

New York

I was very thrilled, highly excited and a little surprised to receive the note, that my abstract on Analysis Services Security was accepted for the SQL Saturday #380 in New York City, US. The number of submission were through the roof, so I am very grateful for the extra ordinary opportunity.

I know for a fact, that my wife is not going to see this post, so I can safely shout it out in this blog post. At home however, I am bound to keep my joy tamed, as I am planning to surprise my wife, with a couple of kids-free days in The Big Apple. Currently she has accepted an invitation to a bachelors party on the same Saturday, but I guess she’s going to miss out on that 🙂 But in case you read this and have a connection to my wife, please do keep my little secret safe.

If you haven’t already heard about the concept of SQL Saturday, I suggest you rush of to www.sqlsaturday.com and dive into the numerous opportunities to attend free Microsoft SQL Server training sessions. There is bound to be  some event close to you, in near future. Surely it’s going to be a smashing event in New York end of May.
