I have experimented with connecting Google Data Studio to one of our Mysql servers (Amazon RDS) and created a couple of reports. Everything is working great except that the reports are not refreshing automatically. I have to do it manually by pressing the "refresh data" button on the report.
Have anyone else experienced similar issues?
Luckely, I've found the workaround solution:
Install a plugin Data Studio Auto Refresh
Configure plugin on regular update (e.g. each 5 min)
Open Datastudio report in the background
After each 5 min - connections will be automatically refreshed.
Hooray! Use up-to-date reports.
P.S. IN GDS tracker - opened bug to resolve autoupdate issue without any timelines :(

I know that it is possible to create dashboards using data studio from various data sources. My question is whether is it possible to visualize a real time data graph using data studio, as in case of data coming from IoT devices?
EDITED
I am uploading a file from my local machine now. So I think now it's not possible to visualize the changes in the data studio if I change any data within my machine.
What I am asking is however is that, is it possible to visualize any changes occured in a google sheet in data studio in real time. Say that I changed or added some new data rows into my google sheet, is it possible in data studio to see those changes in real time?
Yes, it is possible with implementing custom script for refreshing the reports.
I'm feeding in a sheet that is using data supplied by the Google Sheets Google analytics plug-in, and that is definitely updating in Data Studio as the Google sheets report updates.
Data Studio currently does not support automatic real time updates / streaming data. After you open a dashboard, the only way to re-fetch the data is to use the dashboard's refresh feature.
If you require real time updates in your dashboard, please put in feature requests / vote for them in the issue tracker.
Edit: There is a third party Chrome extension that lets users auto refresh dashboards (does not work with Viewer credentials).
Currently having an issue with a client. The website they built using the Plesk Presence builder is no longer editable when they click in the builder. It instead show the new website page. No changes that I or the client no of have been made to the account and the website it's self is still live and unaffected. Is there anyway to manually ensure the website and the builder are connect within the Plesk server?I have complete access to the Plesk server in question so I can make any necessary changes.
Any advise would be very much appreciated.
I was able to resolve the issue, Plesk knowledge base article which was rather hard to dig up on it : https://kb.plesk.com/en/114532 . the article is for Linux/Unix based Plesk but the idea is the same for windows.
This is an answer to an issue I recently faced.
Background
I recently migrated my Wordpress site from my local machine to a server at siteground.com. I used the plugin duplicator to do the migration. Every time I tried the migration the website would appear properly on the front end (with the exception of a lot of question marks in diamonds replacing certain charachters.) In the backend I could see all of the pages and click in to edit them. Once on a particular pages admin edit screen no content would appear! I could click revisions and see the revision history but nothing would appear in the actual content box. Pressing update would clear that pages contents.
Potential Causes
Database errors.
Plugin conflicts.
The Cause for me
In my wp-config the Database Charset to use in creating database tables was set to
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4');
Apparently Wordpress is in the process of upgrading tables to utf8mb4. See here for reasoning, https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/04/02/the-utf8mb4-upgrade/.
The issue is my server at siteground had it's tables set to utf8. And my local environment had a new wordpress install with the upgrade to utf8mb4.
The Fix
A simple change from utf8mb4 to utf8 did it for me.
Did you properly migrate the website? When toy export the database you need to make sure that you select the proper utf. Also did you checked the version of PHP, MySQL with localhost Vs Web host?
I have been exporting and importing CRM 2013 solutions for our project over the last year with Chrome.
All of a sudden from this week, this now fails.
I go through all the prompts to select Managed solution, select version, etc. And when I click Export, the screen just closes and then nothing.
Anyone else experiencing this recently?
The latest Google Chrome version (37) removed the showModalDialog API.
You need to enable it again using a Group Policy or use another browser.
Details here: The (browser compatibility) cake is a lie
Also a registry fix is available: Google Chrome registry fix for Dynamics CRM 2011/2013
I have a WPF application using a WinForms Report Viewer control.
The report control loads reports from SSRS 2008.
All was working fine until we moved to a new server.
All users can connect and authenticate to http://SERVERNAME/reports and run reports with no issues.
Certain users can run the reports from the WPF app but other users get the message:
“The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized”.
I figured I would install Fiddler2 and see what traffic was being passed around.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), the reports load correctly in the Report Viewer control when Fiddler2 is running.
Why?
Though this is a "temporary workaround"; it is definitely not ideal.
And according to Fiddler... it works. The traffic appears to be valid I have nothing to fix.
Any ideas?
The problem ended up being a bad configuration of a Barracuda Networks web filter proxy running on the network. The proxy was getting in the way of the Report Viewer control authenticating. Why it still worked in IE or why it worked when Fiddler was running is still very strange to me but at least I now know what solves the problem.
