In this blog post, I will demonstrate a technique to query the status of a SQL Server Agent job that executes the SSIS package. SQL Server Agent scripts are asynchronous in nature. This can make it difficult to make code decisions based on the execution status of a script of this type.
In this tutorial for Spring Batch, we’re going to take a look at Programmatic Flow decisions in a Spring Batch job using Spring’s JobExecutionDecider. Spring Batch is a pretty powerful framework and this is another useful tool to have in your Spring Batch toolbox.
To demonstrate, I’ll use a scenario that came up recently while working on my client’s project. After explaining the situation and my goals, I’ll jump into a detailed, step-by-step guide. Let’s get started!
Developing custom applications is one of the hardest professional endeavors, and making them secure is even harder. Malicious actors are constantly changing tactics and strategies, which, unfortunately, makes it impossible to completely eliminate any security threat.
There needs to be a balance between delivering features quickly to meet business objectives and mitigating security risks. Thankfully, these two goals are not mutually exclusive. This blog post dives into the top mistakes that can be made while developing custom applications.
These recommendations are different from what would commonly be seen in an OWASP list, and they should be used in addition to whatever security practices and procedures are already in place by an organization’s infosec department. These recommendations are also written from an application architect’s (rather than an enterprise infrastructure) perspective, so most of them aren’t covered by existing security checklists.
When I heard that Groovy 4 is coming out, I decided to get ahead of it. I went online to explore what new features we were getting and how I could start using them in my own code.
This article will not be a full list of the new features of Groovy 4; there are simply too many for one post. This post will simply be my thoughts on a select few of those features and how I would plan to use them.
Let’s get started!
In one of my previous Spring Batch blog articles, I wrote about the need to read a set of data, process the data, and export the transformed data into XML for consumption by another system. In this blog, I’ll be doing the opposite. I’ll show you how to read data from an XML format instead.
