Someone help me out here's a screenshot of the message

What is the difference between ODI on marketplace or on premise?

What’s the difference between ODI on marketplace or on premise? What exactly is ODI on marketplace?
Some experts told me that On Cloud the focus is on ODI on Marketplace.
On premise, ODI is based on many other products like OBIA, FDMEE, Hyperion Planning.
I wanted to learn the difference in simple layman terms as I am not familiar with products like OBIA, FDMEE, Hyperion Planning.
As per my research on this area , there are some cloud products -like ODICS, DIPC, DIPC Classic.
I am curious to know weather ODI on Marketplace will have all equivalent functionalities which are offered through ODICS, DIPC, DIPC Classic.
Thanks,

ODI on Marketplace is basically a compute instance (VM in the cloud) where ODI is pre-installed. It has the same functionalities as ODI on premise. It also comes with a mysql database on the VM to hold the repository if that option has been chosen during provisioning. Alternatively the repository can be created on an existing Autonomous Database. The cost of the service is only the price of the compute instance. At the moment ODI on Marketplace doesn't require a license if the target is an Autonomous Database or a DBaaS on OCI. If the target is another technology, a license (same as on-prem license) is required and has to be acquired separately.
On premise, ODI is based on many other products like OBIA, FDMEE, Hyperion Planning.
This is the other way around. ODI is a tool on it's own. OBIA and FDMEE are two products that are using ODI to extract data from specific Apps and load it into a data warehouse.
As per my research on this area , there are some cloud products -like ODICS, DIPC, DIPC Classic.
These services are not strategic products anymore so it is not possible to provision new instances of it. ODI on marketplace as similar functionalities as ODICS. DIPC Classic and DIPC could also include Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Enterprise Data Quality features depending on the edition that was chosen (Strandard, Enterprise or Governance). If these features are needed to these are GoldenGate on Marketplace and EDQ on Marketplace.
There is another product called OCI Data Integration being release soon so check the news for webinars in the coming weeks.
[EDIT] OCI Data Integration has been released in June 2020. It allows to build serverless integration jobs in the Cloud

Will Azure SQL database automatic upgrade to new service tiers?

Currently I am using free 20 MB Azure SQL database web edition. Microsoft is going to retire the Azure Web and Business edition after 12 September 2015. Microsoft had announced new service tiers.
If I do not upgrade it to new service tiers, will it upgrade automatically? Which service tiers will it get upgraded to?
If it will not upgrade automatically, will my database get deleted or remains as usual?
Yes if you don't upgrade, you will be automatically upgraded post Web and Business retirement. The destination service tier will be defined based on the billable size of the DBs. You can get details of the pricing tier here: http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/04/24/azure-sql-database-introduces-new-service-tiers/
For free DBs specifically, we are working on a replacement for this SKU which will be available for the retirement date. Free DB will be mapped in the new Free DB SKU.
Thanks
Silvia
I called Azure Sales number and the sales person told me that the free 20MB database will remain free of charge after the retirement of Web and Business pricing tier.
Besides that, I also create support ticket regarding this matter. The support engineer told me that the free 20 MB database will be automatically upgraded to a new free 20 MB database with Basic tier that carries characteristics of Basic except the database size. Attached is the picture of email sent by Azure Support Engineer:

Salesforce: How to create a developer account in my company's salesforce

I have created a developer account in salesforce. But now I need to create some logic that uses some custom objects that someone create in the company's salesforce.
Should I create a developer account in the company's salesforce?
Or should I replicate everything to my developer account?
Or...?
And how do I do it or where can I learn how to do it?
Note:
I need to use objects created in production environment .
You should get the custom objects installed in your developer edition.This can be done in many ways like using an unmanaged package which you can create in your company's salesforce.
Your company must be having a specific edition of salesforce like Enterprise,developer etc.there is no such thing like a developer edition account in a specific edition of salesforce.means you can not create a developer edition in enterprise.
to learn about unmanaged package http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/How_to_Create_and_Register_a_Package
HTH
Best way to achieve your goal is using the sandbox instance instead the developer edition.
Sandbox instance allows you to switch logic and changes between production and test.
Click setup|sandbox to create and manage your test environment.
Depending on your license the sandbox instance can has different limitations in terms of space .

Dashboards with Sharepoint WSS?

I'm in a position of evaluating products / approaches to build Business Intelligence Dashboards on top of Sharepoint WSS (no MOSS at this stage). Does anyone have any suggestions where would be a good place to start?
The BI platform is currently built on SQL Server 2005 / SSIS / SSRS and we're currently investigating adding SSAS to the mix so we're very Microsoft centric at the moment.
Thanks,
Steve
Perhaps this article on how to build dashboards with SSRS/Sharepoint: Building a Dashboard in SQL Server Reporting Services.
In my experience building a dashoard with SSRS/SharePoint is mostly a function of the quality of the talent involved, not the tools. SSRS and Sharepoint are both quircky, but they can get the job done out-of-the-box.
We succesfully built a WSS based BI tool for our product. The biggest challenge for us was to get delegation of security to pass through from the browser to WSS to SSAS to utilise SSAS role security to make sure the one client could'nt possibly see another's.
I'd agree with the previous comment about quirckyness; we have had to develop a fair amount of technique / supporting code for things like casading parameters behaviour's in the report viewer etc.
Best of luck - it does work if you stick with it; our customers love the portal and it will get better with the advances in Sharepoint foundation 2010.
There is a company in Chicago ( DMC - www.dmcinfo.com/sharepoint ) who has SharePoint Dashboard solution that integrates with a variety of data sources (e.g. Dynamics, CRM, Goldmine, QuickBooks, SharePoint Lists, etc.). It works with both WSS (free SharePoint) and MOSS (premium SharePoint). You may want to try asking them.
