How to import Sticky Notes from Windows 7 to Windows 10

Scenario:

I have upgraded from windows 7 to window 10 Pre-Anniversary Update(latest version 1709). Now I want to Import Sticky Notes which I have backup before the upgrade. Windows 7 has StickyNotes.snt which we need to convert to plum.sqlite. So it's not easy like we used to do by replacing StickyNotes.snt at C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.snt

Solution

If you haven't open Sticky notes app on your machine before, then you can directly start from step5.
  1. Go to Apps & Features
  2. Search & Select Sticky Notes and click on the Advance option
  3. Click on Reset, Which will delete all data
  4. Now do not open Sticky Notes app
  5. Navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbw\LocalStateSome user might have different Package here Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe
  6. Create a new folder Legacy inside LocalState
  7. Place your StickyNotes.snt to the Legacy folder and rename it ThresholdNotes.snt (Better you copy paste the name from here)
  8. Now it's time to Start Sticky Notes
Boom!! hope you got your notes back. Now offer me a cup of coffee 😜

How to take back of the new Sticky Notes (plum.sqlite)?

If you now back up this new sticky notes then all you have to do is copy everything from Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder and placed wherever you want.

To restore the above backup files:

first, make sure the Sticky Notes app is closed. Now locate the same folder we pointed you to above and copy all your backed up files there.

Git Auto Increment tag

If you want GIT tag autoIncrement with one version number after each build you can use below shell script(./gittag.sh) as the hook. Scrip will find last committed TAG which starts with  ENV_TAG_PREFIX ( QA_V) and creates next release TAG then push tag to GIT. VERSION_MODE   [major|minor|revision|buildNumber - These are the possible value. each time one version is a tag with GIT. By default, buildNumber is pass which increment last digit in release tag like(x.x.x.1 to x.x.x.2). So if you want major release then you can pass major as option which tag GIT with major release  like (1.x.x.x to 2.x.x.x)] e.g. ./gittag.sh major       ./gittag.sh minor #!/bin/bash VERSION_MODE = $1 ENV_TAG_PREFIX = QA_V # "major": 1, # "minor": 0, # "revision": 0, # "buildNumber": 1 if [ "$VERSION_MODE" = "" ] ; then VERSION_MODE = "buildNumber" fi cd /path/to/your/git/checkout ...

Bypass SSL certificate check for Apache Axis2 client

For some reason, I wanted to totally ignore the certificate and trust store check with my Axis2 client stub implementations and I was looking for the solution. I came across a lot of articles which states about using  HttpsURLConnection to disable SSL check, but the problem is underlying Axis2 client doesn’t use the  HttpsURLConnection  Solution: We can use that TrustManager to create an SSLContext which trust all the servers. SSLContext sslCtx = SSLContext . getInstance ( "TLS" ); sslCtx . init ( null , new TrustManager [] { new TrustAllTrustManager ()}, null ); APIStub client = new APIStub ( url ); client . _getServiceClient (). getOptions (). setProperty ( HTTPConstants . CUSTOM_PROTOCOL_HANDLER , new Protocol ( "https" , (ProtocolSocketFactory) new SSLProtocolSocketFactory ( sslCtx ), 443 ));
