On Saturday, June 2nd, I’m speaking at SQLSaturday #743 Pensacola 2018! I’ll be presenting my session “Master Data Management with SQL Server 2016 MDS”. I’ve been looking forward to this event since last year. If you’re able to attend the event, stop by and say hello. I’ll be the guy with the severe sunburn.

Want to know the position Master Data Management and MDS play in an organization’s overall data strategy? We’ll review the key concepts and the different roles and responsibilities to help you get your organization moving forward with MDM. We’ll then take a look at the features of SQL Server 2016 MDS that make it an excellent tool for MDM. This demo-packed presentation will cover architecture and installation, different ways of processing data, hierarchies, security and many other features that will get you up and running with MDS.

On Saturday, May 19th, I’m speaking at SQLSaturday #733 Atlanta 2018! I’m presenting my session “Master Data Management with SQL Server 2016 MDS”. The event is at a new location again this year, Gwinnett Technical College on Old Milton Pkwy. I’m speaking during the first sessions at 8 a.m. in the Patagonia room. Nothing like a fresh cup of MDM first thing in the morning to get the day started!

MDS: Issue with upgrading server

by Leave a Comment

We recently upgraded a clustered server to MDS 2016. I went to go verify the upgrade and ran into this strange error when viewing all of the entities:

After troubleshooting for a while, the cause became painfully obvious. It turned out that I needed to clear the cache in IE since it still had the previous 2012 version in cache.

I hope this saves someone some time.
