GUI program with parfeval
Hello Matlab community, I’m enhancing a GUI program with mouse events and simultaneously accessing an online database. My idea to avoid GUI hangs while querying the database is as follows:
thread_ptr = parfeval(@(c, varargin) fetch(c.Value, varargin{:}), 1, c, query);
pause(3) % not stop mouse events during query
data = fetchOutputs(thread_ptr);
This code seems to work, but I want some pause() function that stops when parfeval stops running. I have already tried wait() , but apparentelly wait() also seems to stop the GUI. Any ideas?Hello Matlab community, I’m enhancing a GUI program with mouse events and simultaneously accessing an online database. My idea to avoid GUI hangs while querying the database is as follows:

How to deal with legend for multiple curves in one figure?
I have a multiple curevs in one figure and I wanna add a legend to each curve.
So, instead of data1, data2, data3, data4, and data5, I want to replace them with
phi = 0 & psi = 0
phi = psi
phi = [0,5,10,15,20,25,30] & psi = 0
phi = 0 & psi = [0,5,10,15,20,25,30]
phi = [0,5,10,15,20,25,30] & psi = [0,5,10,15,20,25,30]

Re: Script is not listing all groups
So I think my issue is related to the export-csv portion. If I change “$AllGroups.name.count” to a set number like 50, I get up to 50 group columns. However, if I do that, then the last group for a user gets listed multiple times. Here is an example from my last run. “Doe”,”Jane”,”JDoe”,”102138″,”jdoe@domain.local”,”10002″,”1216″,”1349″,”1920″,”1901″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″,”1902″

Migrate and modernize with Azure to power innovation across the entire digital estate
Written by Kathleen Mitford, Corporate Vice President, Azure Marketing
Cloud adoption increased significantly during COVID-19 and continues for many companies. However, an enormous migration and modernization opportunity remains as organizations continue their digital transformation. In fact, 72 percent of organizations reported their industry’s pace of digital transformation accelerated because of COVID-19, according to a survey sponsored by Microsoft in The Economist1. And we don’t expect that to slow down anytime soon.
We are hearing key themes from our customers that reinforce this, including:
Cloud has become the catalyst for innovation. Customers are moving beyond operational efficiency to create new products and offerings, leveraging the unique capabilities of cloud to differentiate themselves.
Customers are not just looking for technology, they’re looking for a trusted partner. They need an expert to help them navigate these tough issues as they move toward hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge environments, facing new complexities and opportunities.
Security, data privacy, and compliance are top of mind for customers in every industry as cyberattacks continue to rise2.
These areas are opportunities for us to strengthen our partnerships and help our mutual customers realize their greatest potential. This is why we are focusing on three key areas of growth for Azure at Microsoft Inspire:
Innovation with new cloud-native experiences.
Modernization of app and data estates.
Migration and modernization of infrastructure and mission-critical workloads.
This week, we are announcing new Microsoft Azure capabilities to help partners increase return on investments, grow leads, and shorten sales cycles. This includes updates to our Azure Migration and Modernization Program (AMMP) and announcing the ISV Success Program.
Read on for more details on our latest developments and each of the opportunity areas to see how we can deliver the greatest value to our customers. Our Azure keynote session is also a great resource to learn more.

Optimizing Azure SQL Database with the Well-Architected Framework
Microsoft Azure SQL Database is a fully managed cloud database (PaaS) that handles many database management tasks without user intervention. Tasks such as patching, upgrading, taking backups, and monitoring can be configured to the specific needs of the workload and are performed in the background. Azure SQL Database runs the latest stable version of SQL Server and patched OS with 99.99% availability. The intelligent automated functions built into the database free up the user to focus on other important tasks.
Today I am introducing the Azure Well-Architected Service Guide for Azure SQL Database. Like other service guides, this guide for Azure SQL Database contains design considerations, checklists, and detailed configuration recommendations that can assist cloud architects in deploying optimal Azure SQL workloads in line with the guiding tenets of the Well-Architected Framework: security, reliability, cost management, performance efficiency, and operational excellence.
If you are still in the planning stages, this service guide can provide guidance to ensure your workload is optimal from the start. The design checklists provide clear recommendations to keep in mind as you plan your build. Each recommendation is accompanied by an explanation detailing why it is important. If your workload is already deployed and in use, this service guide can help you quickly identify additional opportunities for improvement.
Both the service guide and the Azure Well-Architected Review assessment can be used to analyze and optimize your specific workload by pillar and by service. The assessment asks a series of questions about your unique workload and configurations and provides guidance broken down by pillar and service as specified.
If you run into an issue where costs are exceeding expectations, or you are having concerns about security and need a quick resolution, it may be beneficial to start with the service guide where suggestions pertaining directly to Azure SQL database can be quickly identified. If you have more time and are looking for a thorough action plan catered to your specific workload, then I recommend taking the assessment. Either way, both self-service tools are invaluable and will help achieve your goals.

Viva Engage, Yammer & Communities: Answers to common questions
Viva Engage is coming! In late August, Viva Engage will replace the Communities app in Teams, a new employee experience that connects people across the company to build community, spark engagement with leadership, harness knowledge and answers, and build personal networks. This article provides answers to common questions–particularly from IT, security, compliance, and existing Yammer customers. If you’re a business stakeholder (leader, HR, corp comms for example), or have not yet had time to understand Viva Engage, please read Announcing Microsoft Viva Engage and our overview of Viva Engage and Yammer.
Viva Engage is available at no additional cost to most Microsoft 365 customers: It can be used by anyone enabled to use Yammer.
Viva Engage builds on Yammer, and brings together Yammer’s experiences—communities, open conversations, and personalized discovery—with new capabilities for expression and sharing through storyline and stories, and upcoming innovations.
Viva Engage is safe, secure, governable. The Viva Engage app is an innovative, integrated experience in Teams & Outlook, backed by the same Yammer services and enterprise-grade #Microsoft365 security, privacy, compliance and manageability controls, including eDiscovery and communications compliance.
The Viva Engage app in Teams will replace the Communities app. We strongly recommend that Teams admins deploy and pin the Communities app (today) or the Viva Engage app (in late August) for all users using Teams app policies.
The Communities app will be updated automatically starting in late August. If you’ve already deployed the Communities app, it will be updated with no action required. First, the the app name and icon will update. The new user experiences will roll out over the following few weeks.
The Viva Engage app in Outlook will replace the Communities app later this summer.
Viva Engage creates a social layer across Microsoft 365. Relevant announcements, posts and stories from storylines and communities show up in Teams Activity, your Outlook inbox, Viva Connections, the profile card, as well as Viva Engage and Yammer.
Yammer.com and the Yammer apps for iOS, Android, Mac and PC remain the standalone experiences for employee engagement on web, mobile and desktop.
We’re bringing storyline, stories, and Viva Engage innovations to the Yammer apps as well. For example you’ll see storyline posts and stories in the new Storylines page.
Say it with me: Yammer is not going away. In fact, we’re investing more deeply in Yammer services and experiences in Viva Engage and across Microsoft 365.
Customers tell us it matters: that’s why we built Viva Engage. Remote & hybrid work make it difficult to create and strengthen professional relationships across working groups and business silos. 43% of leaders believe relationship-building is the top challenge for remote work. And they’re prioritizing efforts to connect and engage employees.
Viva Engage reflects Microsoft’s continued investment in our employee experience platform through product innovation driven by customer feedback, research and thought leadership.

The Viva Engage app is an innovative, integrated experience in Teams & Outlook, backed by the same Yammer services and enterprise-grade #Microsoft365 security, privacy, compliance and manageability controls, including eDiscovery and communications compliance.
The Viva Engage app in Teams will replace the Communities app. We strongly recommend that Teams admins deploy and pin the Communities app (today) or the Viva Engage app (in late August) for all users using Teams app policies.
The Communities app will be updated automatically starting in late August. If you’ve already deployed the Communities app, it will be updated with no action required. First, the the app name and icon will update. The new user experiences will roll out over the following few weeks.
The Viva Engage app in Outlook will replace the Communities app later this summer.
Viva Engage creates a social layer across Microsoft 365. Relevant announcements, posts and stories from storylines and communities show up in Teams Activity, your Outlook inbox, Viva Connections, the profile card, as well as Viva Engage and Yammer.
Yammer.com and the Yammer apps for iOS, Android, Mac and PC remain the standalone experiences for employee engagement on web, mobile and desktop.
We’re bringing storyline, stories, and Viva Engage innovations to the Yammer apps as well. For example you’ll see storyline posts and stories in the new Storylines page.
Say it with me: Yammer is not going away. In fact, we’re investing more deeply in Yammer services and experiences in Viva Engage and across Microsoft 365.
Customers tell us it matters: that’s why we built Viva Engage. Remote & hybrid work make it difficult to create and strengthen professional relationships across working groups and business silos. 43% of leaders believe relationship-building is the top challenge for remote work. And they’re prioritizing efforts to connect and engage employees.
Viva Engage reflects Microsoft’s continued investment in our employee experience platform through product innovation driven by customer feedback, research and thought leadership.
