Data Refinery states I have maxed out my data limits. any way to clear/reset? - watson

I am trying to set up a data connection for Watson Analytics and IBM Data Refinery states I have maxed out my data limits. Is there a way to clear or reset?

The default IBM Cloud account type, known as a Lite account, provides access to all IBM Cloud based services that provide a Lite plan option. Those plans provide free, but limited, access to services. For Data Refinery (part of the Watson Knowledge Catalog & Watson Studio services), the lite plan has a limit of 50 Capacity Unit Hours per month. The message you're seeing appears when you have reached the limit of the free usage the plan provides. The limit is reset each calendar month and can be removed by upgrading your IBM Cloud account and associated service plan(s)
You can check which plan your services are on via this link:
https://dataplatform.ibm.com/console/overview
For information on account types, see here:

For information on changing service plans, see here:

How to communicate to a Metatrader 4 Server in order to read data from it?

I need to access the data available for MT4 Investor account or, in general, talk to MT4 server in order to read some data.
Is it possible?
It should, but i can't figure out how to do it ( is there a specific protocol? Is it allowed? Is there a library out there? Etc. )
You can try MetaApi https://metaapi.cloud cloud service which provides REST API and WebSocket API access to both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 accounts.
Official REST API documentation: https://metaapi.cloud/docs/client
SDKs: https://metaapi.cloud/sdks (javascript, python and Java SDKs are provided as per April 2021)
It supports reading account information, positions, orders, trade history, receiving quotes, and accessing market data.
The service also provides copy trading API https://metaapi.cloud/docs/copyfactory and API to calculate forex trading metrics on a MetaTrader account https://metaapi.cloud/docs/metastats.
There is an API, but is for Brokers and other similar organizations only. MetaQuotes doesn't provide us direct access to it, but checkout the other link as well.
Here check this out MetaTrader 4 API
and also check this out MT4 Server API
This is directly from MT4 Server API website
API can be provided in Web Socket & Rest API. API is hosted on MT4 Server, further wrapped and consumed as web service and DLL .net and C++ API. This API is much faster than using MT4 Terminal for Quote and Trade; provides the real time open, close position and many more.
Please note, I haven't used MT4 Server API, so don't know much information about it.

iOS - use Aceess database and sharepoint to push and pull data

Currently I am creating app that needs to store and pull data from database by multiple users.
Since I do not have much knowledge in database, MS Access, and MS Sharepoint, I would like to know if it is possible to use share point as database for my iOS application, which implemented in pure swift code.
Any one with knowledge in this field please help me by providing advice on if it works, and, if possible, how can I successfully implement this.
Thank you for all the helps.
I don’t see why this would not work. As long as the SharePoint tables follow the rules for Access, then you can place the ms-access application on each desktop. Anytime “any” user of that application updates or adds records, then all other users will “eventually” see the updates. So in this setup, the desktop users can in fact “run” the application “off line”. The instant such users get Wi-Fi or a connection (or always have one), then the data is synced in real time.
The above setup takes no coding and is part of the Access system which supports those SharePoint tables.
As for the iOS and that part of the application? Again, I see little problem since all of the abilities of SharePoint are available as a web service. So as long as your development platform supports standard web services, then your application can interact with that web service to retrieve and update rows of data in those SharePoint tables. As noted, the “sync” to the Access clients will thus reflect any updates to that data.
Since near every modern phone development system supports interaction with web services, then the phone software can do the same. You not have an ODBC like interface, but you can query the data (CAMEL).
The Access desktop client will also be interacting with the SharePoint tables via a web service, but from Access point of view the SharePoint tables (lists) look like any regular SQL like table. So standard VBA code and DAO reocrdsets are supported.
The web services for SharePoint are outlined here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms479390(v=office.12).aspx
And this video shows how you can upload data to SharePoint from Access, and NOTE how the relational table ability of SharePoint is supported by Access. Once that data is uploaded, then Access supports updating of such data as if the data was a local table.

You can use a single office 365 account at $6 per month for the above, and that single account supports 500 free users. So if you don’t have SharePoint (or don’t want to bother with SharePoint, a single office 365 account also offers these SharePoint services for that one stupid low price of $6 per month – and that account with work with the free Access runtime that that you can use to run the Access side for free on the desktop part of this application.

Which components do I need to host ASP MVC site on Google Cloud?

I'm hoping someone has ventured into hosting ASP MVC site with Google cloud perhaps even leveraged google components with pricing. Last week they released a help guide on ASP MVC with Google cloud, however it only accounts for Windows server and not ASP MVC with Linux. For me, the complexity comes in when I want to tap into other google components like bigquery etc.
I have 2 questions:
Technical: Which google cloud components do I need or select to host the ASP MVC site. (Since .NET is supported, I am talking about cloud sites, similar to Azure)
Compute Pricing: Given that they have pricing based on compute engine/app eninge etc. How do I estimate/calculate the pricing
It depends on what you want to do with the web site and how much you want to configure yourself.
The compute engine is an infrastructure as a service environment, where you will have to configure and manage all the resources you require. This is the cheapest, most flexible option, but requires the overhead of configuring the VM's yourself. You'll need to use the compute engine to configure your .net application. Take a look at Google Compute Engine and this will help with a Linux instance Quickstart Using a Linux VM
The app engine provides a Platform as a Service meaning you just deploy and platform manages resources. This will cost more, but will manage code for some popular languages like Java, Python, PHP or Go (unfortunately .net is not covered). Take a look at Google App Engine
If you have a data storage need for your site, the you'll have to decide what you want to store and how.
Cloud Storage for fully managed data store holding images, blobs and unstructured data.
Cloud Data Store for semi structured NoSQL data.
Cloud SQL for MySQL instance, useful for OLTP
BigQuery for analytic / enterprise data warehouse projects
You can read about the various data store option Google Cloud Data Store Options
In regards to the cost element of your question, you'll have to overlay your requirements onto Google's offerings to build up an estimate. Unfortunately, not having a relevant app engine option will complicate that for you

Office 365 Connectors and Graph Data Extensions; pushing content to Delve from 3rd party systems

I am researching the available methods for surfacing content in Delve from external systems.
The only two options for pushing information into O365 that I can find are Office 365 Connectors and Graph Data Extensions (openTypeExtension resource type).
My questions are:
How are these technologies designed to work and will either of them be included in Graph -> Users -> Insights -> List trendingAround and List workingWith?
Is there a way to surface the Connector Cards in Delve?
Are there any other mechanisms available to include 3rd party data in Delve?
There was a session at Microsoft Ignite 2015 that demonstrated the features that I'm looking for, which were unavailable to the public at the time but it looks like that was before Connectors and Data extensions became available.
https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2015/BRK3193
From the description: "We’ll also demonstrate how you in the future can push external content and signals into the Office Graph from Line of Business systems and 3rd party services to enrich it even further."
The demo is at about the 30:00 mark.
There has been contact with some people at Microsoft and they told us it isn't possible at the moment, but all the data show that it will be in the future. More will be made known at //Build.
The Connector cards probably will be made available via the Office Group Connectors in your Office365 Outlook account; in a Group, at the top right, there is a button 'Connectors'. I'm guessing you already found those.

Need clarification on QuickBooks Desktop integration with Sync Manager vs Web Connector

From what I understand, Intuit is no longer allowing proprietary integrations with QuickBooks Desktop editions through the Sync Manager and only allowing apps that are put into the marketplace. Is this really the case? If so, is there a timeline for when they will start allowing this? Also, it seems that the supported objects for desktop editions is way behind those supported for the online edition. Will these be available any time soon (I.e. reports such as balance sheet, profit/loss, budget, etc.)?
I ask because we have been using the web connector for a couple of years now and it is not built for the type of use we need. To be specific, we are a franchising company that has a hosted QB solution for each of our franchises. We then pull data and pass jobs to and from our proprietary POS application through the web connector. We run into all sorts of problems with multiple web connectors being open on the same system trying to connect to different files and a host of other issues. Because of this, we are hoping that a more reliable integration can be developed through the Sync Manager.
From what I understand, Intuit is no longer allowing proprietary integrations with QuickBooks Desktop editions through the Sync Manager and only allowing apps that are put into the marketplace. Is this really the case?
Correct. QBD integration with SM and V3/V2 REST endpoints are not supported.
Apps.com is the mainly the SaaS marketplace ( mainly focused on QBO).
No new integration using QBD V3 can be created.
Also, it seems that the supported objects for desktop editions is way behind those supported for the online edition. Will these be available any time soon (i.e. reports such as balance sheet, profit/loss, budget, etc.)?
V3 QBD APIs are already marked as deprecated. There will not be any development on this.
