SharePoint Denda Eztabaida Osteguna laburpena 10/01/09

Utzi erantzun bat

I’ve noticed that people seem to be waiting until the last minute to register for SharePoint Shop Talk sessions. Last Thursday, buruzko at 11:45AM, Bederatzi pertsona erregistratu izan dugu, which is a very small number. Hala eta guztiz ere, puntu bat, genituen 18 edo 20 pertsonek sinatutako, beraz, gutxienez bederatzi pertsona sinatu da 45 minutes or less before the call. I’m not complaining, besterik behaketa.

We had a full schedule of questions and discussion topics and couldn’t get to all of them. As usual, jaso dugu non utzi dugu datozen ostegun honetan.

Hona hemen laburpena da:

  • Vamshi asked about building a WSS environment that has SP1 and not SP2. You can download that configuration here:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4191A531-A2E9-45E4-B71E-5B0B17108BD2&displaylang=en. And someone else suggested looking here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/sharepoint/bb400747.aspx.

  • Bat izan dugu (ongi etorri) surprise return visitor. A few weeks previous, Blue had asked us a question that left everyone on the call a little sad because we couldn’t help. His problem and solution are really fairly complicated, baina irakiten hasten da datu ikuspegi web parte sortzeko datak iragazi sorta batekin (ez da bakarra iragazi data, hau da, errazagoa). He may write up a blog entry on this and if does, I’ll link to it. In the course of the discussion, bi esteka horiek denek aipatzen zuen:
  • SharePoint diseinatzaile en begizta - ezin da egin? The answer is “yes” in some narrow cirumstances. Hala eta guztiz ere, egin, zenbait gauza delikatua da, zaila kontzeptualizatu egin behar duzu, gogorra ezartzea, hard to debug … it’s just plain hard. The panel’s consensus – don’t do this if you can help it. If you need looping, create custom actions or drop down into visual studio. Jakina, zaren SPD erabiliz gero, duzu arazo ezin da erraz erortzen behera VS sartu, Baina zer da da da, zoritxarrez.
  • Triste hitz, Nancy du "Egin Panel Triste" saria irabazi du (futilely) asking about drag and drop from a data view web part. The scenario is very interesting and if anyone has a clever solution, please let me know. Here’s the problem: she has a DVWP that is doing some necessary filtering on a document library that returns back dozens or more documents. This works great. Hala eta guztiz ere, her users need to take those documents and burn them to CD. This is doable using a windows explorer type view, baina nola egin DVWP tik? We couldn’t think of a good answer. Can you?
  • Laura Rogers, Lori GOWAN du eta jarraian www.endusersharepoint.com ospea (eta beste nonbait) made us aware of the fact that attachments to InfoPath forms can be submitted via a web service to an image library in SharePoint. Kutxa Out! That is a very interesting fact with some very interesting implications.

That’s pretty much it. I probably missed something, baina espero da GIST ateratzeko.

Nahiz eta ez duzu benetan ireki eguerdira arte ezagutzen dut, Osteguna, hemen hurrengo saiorako lotura erregistratzea da, Osteguna 10/08 tik 12:30 to 1:30 PM EDT: https://www.livemeeting.com/lrs/8000043750/Registration.aspx?pageName=0z40kg9nb0t0842f

Windows Live Spaces eta Twitter Counter

1 Erantzun

Nintzen DM'd twitter gaur mezu bat eta pentsatu erantzuna blog nuke.

Galdera da: "Hey Paul, zuretzat bat azkar,nola twitter mahaian lortuko duzu zure espazio Live script kodea blokeatu gisa gordetako Thx "

I did this by adding a custom html widget to my live spaces page and using the little code snippet:

<bat href="http://twittercounter.com/?username=pagalvin" 
 izenburua="TwitterCounter for @pagalvin"> 
 <img src="http://twittercounter.com/counter/?username=pagalvin" 
 zabalera=88 
 height=26 
 estilo="border:none" 
 alt="TwitterCounter for @pagalvin">
</bat>

This uses a version of the twitter counter widget interface that gets past the windows live censor thing that we all hate so much and wish would get a bad case of poison ivy.

Onespena Taldeak kudeatzeko FBA ingurunean InfoPath batera

1 Erantzun

Gastu bat onartzeko prozesuan behar dut ezartzea InfoPath erabiliz oinarritutako autentifikazioa forma bat daukat (FBA) ingurumena forma zerbitzuak erabiliz (web oinarritutako InfoPath).

Badira bi talde eta onesteko prozesua horrela egiten du lan:

  • Erabiltzaile betetzen out gastu eta txosten bat aurkeztuko da, onar dezaten.
  • That triggers an email to first level approver group.
  • First level approver reviews and approves or denies the report.
  • If first level person approves it, system notifies second level approver.

On the InfoPath side of things, I have different sections that hide/appear based on whether the user is a member of one of those approval groups.

In an FBA environment the username() function always returns blank, zoritxarrez. What I’ve done is set up a a custom list called “Approval Groups”.

I don’t add any additional columns to the list.

When the form opens up, it has a rule like this:

image

The “set a field’s value” is here:

image

This is basically saying: Kontsultatu onartu talde zerrenda pertsonalizatu eta kontsulta hori iragazi errenkadan edozein non Izenburua balioa = "NORDIC" bila.

Duten balioa itzultzen bada, then the current user is a member of that group. I know it contains that value because the string length is greater than zero.

Close the loop by securing the individual items in the Approval Group list. At run-time, uneko erabiltzaileak ez badu, dagokion segurtasun-elementu hori eskuratu ondoren, kontsulta egingo ez itzultzeko, string-length will be zero and now you know the current user is not part of that group. You can use that fact as needed in the form.

This is a super brief write-up. I’m pressed for time or I’d provide more detail.

I don’t know how relevant it is that I’m in an FBA environment. This would probably work well in a non-FBA environment but I can imagine cases where this would be useful.

SharePoint Denda Eztabaida laburpena (09/24/09 edizioa)

Utzi erantzun bat

Gure 8an SharePoint Denda Eztabaida irekia Q amaitu dugu&A session yesterday. During that session, gai hauek estaltzen dugu:

  • Nola bidaltzeko oso formatuko mezu elektroniko bat workflow bat sortu SharePoint Designer erabiliz.
  • Non SharePoint arteko desberdintasunak buruzko informazioa aurkitzeko 2010 eta, batez ere, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (SharePoint-en bertsio librea).
  • We discussed jQuery maintenance and management. More specifically, "Non behar jQuery joan?” We had a great discussion around this topic and one interesting new ideas (me) is the idea of a content delivery network. This bing search pulls up a lot of interesting data on the subject: http://www.bing.com/search?q=microsoft+content+delivery+network&FORM=DLSDF7&pc=MDDS&src=IE-SearchBox
  • Norbaitek aipatu zatiak (edo agian guztiak) of the up-coming mega conference in Las Vegas in October will be broadcast over the internets. Check out this site for more information: http://www.week3.org/Events/default.aspx
  • We talked about RSS. That discussion covered a lot of ground. There’s a CodePlex project that does better RSS than what you get out of the box and www.endusersharepoint.com onak ditu artikulu batzuk sortu Laura Rogers nola erabili DVWP benetan ona RSS saioak eraikitzeko an.

That about covers it. People seem to be getting a lot of help from these so we’ll keep them going.

SharePoint Denda Eztabaida ostegun honetan 09/17/09 12:30 PM EDT 1:30 PM EDT

Utzi erantzun bat

Hurrengo SharePoint Denda Eztabaida gertatzen ostegun honetan, 09/17 at 12:30PM EDT.

Zer SharePoint Denda Talk? It’s a one hour conference call where a panel of SharePoint pro’s answer questions. Send your questions to "Questions@sharepointshoptalk.com", leave a comment on my blog here or just ask them out loud on the call. The panel tries to offer several different approaches to solving the underlying problem behind the question and just generally provide unbiased expert advice.

Aste honetan jarraitu panel dugu, ni barne, nire bi Arcovis bazkide Harry Jones eta Natalya Voskresenskaya eta Laura SharePoint911 of Rogers.

Laburki azken astean recapping - galdera gehiago baino ezin izan dugu erantzun behar izan genuen, aste honetan, beraz,, we’ll start off with those. We had 34 registrants eta uste dut 25 people actually joined the call. We covered a wide variety of subjects that I would say were 75% azken erabiltzaileari bideratutako, barne:

  • Sortu rolling edukiak azpi-guneak etatik mailako guneak eta barruan zehar gune bildumak estrategiak.
  • SharePoint Designer erabiliz editform.aspx pertsonalizatu inpaktua.
  • Ospetsua SharePoint Designer workflow ekintza "bildu bat erabiltzailearen datuak" aurre.
  • JQuery komun batzuk erabiliz erabiltzailearen interfaze-arazoak konpontzeko.
  • Ordu-zona galderak (bat geografikoki banatutako ingurune)

Beste hainbat elementu estaltzen dugu, eta baita, baina xehetasunak ihes egin dit.

I promised to do follow up with a live meeting to dig into one of the questions and still need to do that.

Aste honetako saio erregistratu hemen: https://www323.livemeeting.com/lrs/8000043750/Registration.aspx?pageName=bhj8dbrswhv1hv8r

Aste honetan, gutxienez, buruz hitz egin dugu,:

  • Kudeatzeko eta bertsioaren historia lortzean dokumentuak estrategiak
  • Egokitasuna eta ideiak SharePoint erabiliz amaiera baten aurrean, eta horrek ematen dio zure bezeroei finantza-datuak batzuk ikusteko moduan inguruan.
  • Workflow galderak (Ohikoa den bezala).

Eta ikusi beharko dugu entzuten ez!

Nahi ez izan Cool bada ...

1 Erantzun

Nire MSDN aldizkari pila handi baten bidez joan nintzen nire emaztea iritsi nire bizkarrean off 30 segundotan gela egiteko MSDN aldizkari berria zen eta MS Speech workflow fundazio zerbitzaria integratzeko buruzko artikulu zaharrago bat topatu nuen, eta pentsatu nuen, ez litzateke cool guztiak integratu SharePoint izan da? It would be kind of neat to be able to say “Create site named [cool gune] gune bilduman [Papa bear]” into my cell phone and have it do that. I can imagine an architecture where speech server hands off the commands to a workflow application that does all the work. That’s very easy logic to implement on the server side of the fence.

UI buruzko, you’d have to do something to get it rolling. I’d probably go to a “speech monitor” kind of SharePoint site that has some jQuery running that monitors a queue that is updated by the workflow application and shows, denbora errealean, what’s happening.

That would be a pretty crazy technology train right there. Cell phone dialing up to speech server on some machine. Workflows bridging the gap between Speech Server and SharePoint. jQuery enhancing a plain Jane SharePoint UI.

Ba al dago hau edozein osagai praktiko? Who knows. Who cares?

Consulting Little bat Out dio Zure propioa Teeth Like Be

Utzi erantzun bat

[Kontuan izan: Artikulu honek gurutze-etan argitaratua Amaiera Erabiltzaile SharePoint hemen: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2009/09/09/sharepoint-a-case-study-in-ask-the-expert/]

Batzuetan,, aholkulari gisa lan egiten ari zaren (lanbide gisa, edo zure enpresaren barruan eginkizun aholku), you find yourself living in an Onion story. The Onion has a series of articles called “Ask an [aditua] buruz [arazo batzuk]". This follows the famous “Dear Abby” format where a concerned person is asking for personal advice. The onion’s “expert”, Hala ere,, is so focused on his/her area of expertise and current problems that the expert ignores the question entirely and rambles on about his area of expertise. As consultants, we need to keep that in mind all the time and avoid falling into that trap. It’s classically described like this – “when you use a hammer all day long to solve your problems, everything starts to look like a nail.” We professional consultants are always on guard against that kind of thing, baina etortzen kontaktua dugu jendea bere rol propioa profesional larriak, but are not consultants. They don’t have the same need or training to do otherwise.

Azken astean, Nire enpresaren bezero bati buruz idatzi nuen, eta on-going-proiektu bat we have to enable high quality collaboration between various eye doctors in the US and Canada performing clinical research on rare disease. In addition to leveraging core SharePoint features to enable that collaboration, we’re also working an expense submission and approval process. It’s complicated because we have so many actors:

  • A pertsonen eskukada hainbat mediku 'praktika on line gastuak sartu ahal izango.
    • Badira baino gehiago 40 mediku 'praktika.
    • Praktika batzuk etan, doctor sistema erabiltzen zuzenean.
    • Praktika askotan, medikuaren langileen sistema erabiltzen zuzenean.
  • Finantza-administratzaileak (nire bezeroaren zuzeneko lan egiten duen) zehaztasun eta garrantzi duten berrikusten gastuak, onesten edo ukatzen antolakuntza mailan.
  • A 3rd party accounts payable group. These people pay all of the bills for out client, not just bills coming out of the rare disease study.

The Accounts Payable group has been a challenge. Working with them yesterday reminded me of the Onion series. In my role as business consultant, Beharra azaldu I, kontuak ordaindu beharreko enpresa:

  • Klinikoa ikasketak guneak (mediku 'praktika) ordaindu azterketa-gastuak.
  • They log onto the “web site” and enter their expenses using an online form. Kasu honetan, the “web site” is hosted with SharePoint and the expenses are entered into an InfoPath form. Expense receipts are scanned, , uploaded eta inprimaki atxikia zuzenean.
  • Eu prozesu automatizatu finantza egokiak administratzaileak onartu helburua.
  • Duzu, dear 3rd party AP company – please review and approve or deny this expense. I’ll send it to you any way that you want (Arrazoi barruan).Eztabaidaren puntu honetan, I don’t really care how it needs to be bundled. I want to work with the AP group to understand what they need and want.

Beharra azaldu dut, 3 party hartu sakon dive beren barne-gastua onesteko prozesuak mumbo buruz Lingo Jumbo, Oracle kodeak, alderantziz presidentetzarako sinadurak, 90 Egun txanda-arounds, etc. And panic. I shouldn’t forget about the panic. One of the bed rock requirements of the consulting profession is to learn how to communicate with people like that who are themselves not trained or necessarily feel a need to do the same. Among other things, it’s one of the best parts of being a consultant. You get to enter a world populated with business people with completely different perspectives. I imagine it’s a little bit like entering the mind of a serial killer, izan ezik ez dira bizitza ruined esperientziaren ondoren (though entering the mind of an AP manager isn’t a walk in the park 🙂 [ikus ohar garrantzitsua azpitik ***] ).

One of the great things about our technical world as SharePoint people is that we have ready-made answers to many of the very valid concerns that people such as my AP contact have. Is it secure? How do I know that the expense was properly vetted? Can I, Ordaintzaile behin betiko gisa, gastua xehetasun guztiak ikusi? How do I do that? What if I look at those details and don’t approve of them? Can I reject them? What happens if the organization changes and the original approver is no longer around? Can we easily change the process to reflect changes in the system? Gastu hau revisit I urtebete geroago, eta denean dit ikuskatu eta ordainketa defendatzeko behar?

SharePoint pertsona bezala, we can see how to answer those questions. In my client’s case, erantzuten dugu gehiago edo gutxiago hau bezalako:

  • InfoPath formularioa beren gastuak grabatzeko guneak eta horiek onartzeko aurkeztu ahal izateko.
  • Sites Gunean itzuli eta beren gastu txostena egoera edozein unetan ikusteko.
  • , Esanguratsua Ekitaldi bezala gerta (e.g. gastua onartu da, eta ordainketa egiteko aurkeztutako), sistema proaktiboan jakinarazten posta elektronikoaren bidez.
  • Sistema finantza administradorearekin jakinarazten behin txosten bat etortzearen aurkeztu.
  • Finantza administratzaileak onartzen du, edo eskaera ukatu egiten du.
  • Onespena baino lehen, gastu email bat da bildutako eta 3 party Ordaintzaile erakunde bidali.
  • 3. Party Ordaintzaile behar duten informazio guztia gastua berrikusi du, eta, SharePoint ingurune sar daitezke xehetasunak sartu dig (batez ere, auditoria historia gastuak "egia" egiaztatu).
  • 3rd party payer can approve or reject the payment using their own internal process. They record that outcome back in the SharePoint site (email notification abiarazle pertsona egokia).
  • Etorkizunean, izan nice litzateke, email prozesu honetan stilly ebaki eta ordez, gastu informazio elikatzeko sistema zuzenean sartu.

Ospakizuna, dago bizitza estilo bat da hemen profesional aholkulari ikuspuntutik deskribatzen I, but which applies almost equally to full time employees in a BA and/or power user role. Work patiently with the experts in your company and extract the core business requirements as best you can. With a deep understanding of SharePoint features and functions to draw upon, ez baino sarriago, kezkak erantzuteko, eta guztion lana Egun aprobetxatuz core SharePoint ezaugarriak hobetzeko eskaintzen modutan egin ahal izango duzu.

***Ohar garrantzitsua: I really don’t mean to compare AP people to serial killers. Hala eta guztiz ere, I could probably name some AP pro’s who have probably wished they could get a restraining order against me stalking them and asking over and over again. “Where’s my check?” “Where’s my check?” “Where’s my check?"
