Reporting Services 2014 upgrade error

After upgrading to SQL Server 2014, we encountered the following issue while configuring the Reporting Services:

When we tried to restore the Reporting Services Encryption key, it always failed. Inside the error logs we found the following information:

The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is ‘163’. The expected version is ‘162’. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase).

A quick search on the web brought us to the following post: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sql_server_team/upgrading-to-sql-2014-report-server-version-mismatch/

The problem can happen when you upgrade from a SQL 2012 SP2 server with CU5 or later, the database will have a higher version number than what SQL 2014 expects.

Luckily there was already a solution out there. I asked the server team to upgrade to SQL 2014 CU7 after which the issue was gone…

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
