Flokkaskjalasafn: SharePoint

A Little gremja carried forward…

SP2010 er mjög flott dót, en ég vildi að þeir myndu hafa leiðrétt tungumálið á listanum og síður Bókasöfn Stillingar "þegar það kemur að því að stjórna gerðum efnis:

Sama tungumál var í stað fyrir WSS / mosa.  Bara breyta orðinu "eyða" til "fjarlægja" og það verður einfaldlega að gera meira vit.

Ný grein, "Húsbóndi SharePoint”

Nýjasta grein mín fyrir SharePointBriefing.com er upp og sparka hér: http://sharepointbriefing.com/features/article.php/3887276/The-Road-to-SharePoint-Mastery.htm

Hér er beitu:

Þetta er í grundvallaratriðum mjög stutt og þéttur útgáfa af vinsælustu opinbera kynningu mína á "áfram til að læra SharePoint."  Engin Banjo brandara, þó.

Stöðva það út!

SharePoint á netinu // BPOs - Sumir Hands á reynslu

(Athugaðu: þessi grein var kross-staða hér: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1912)

Uppfæra 09/01/09: Byggt á twitter viðbrögð, I need to clarify that InfoPath is supported in the sense that BPOS provides forms libraries. What I mean when I write "not supported in any way" is that InfoPath forms services functions are not supported. That means that you can’t publish an InfoPath form to BPOS and and have it render in the web browser. It also means that some out of the box workflows, which use InfoPath (even in MOSS standard edition) don’t work in BPOS because their initiation and other forms use InfoPath. Hopefully that clears things up.

I had a chance to really dig into Microsoft Online’s offering earlier this year and specifically the business productivity online suite (BPOs). This came along before I even hard a firm plan to set out on my own at Arcovis. I immediately saw, þó, that BPOS could be a key part of my company’s internal infrastructure and over time, it has become exactly that. Arcovis, uses it on a daily basis. I thought I’d share some of that experience from a practical perspective in case you want to evaluate it for yourself or are just curious about it.

As the word “suite” in BPOS implies, you get a small bundle of applications:

  • Exchange
  • Live Meeting
  • Communicator
  • SharePoint

You can buy each of them separately, Ég trúi. It’s all spelled out relatively clearly on the Microsoft online site. You may be able to get better deals through MSFT partners. Arcovis has been working with Cloud Aðferðir og þeir virðast vita efni þeirra, svo ég myndi þá í listanum yfir smásali ef þú gera a multi-söluaðili leit.

Ég útlista reynslu mína og hugsanir fyrir hvert þessara sig.

Exchange

Þetta er Hosted Exchange umhverfi og frá sjónarhóli mínum, it works like any other Exchange server I have ever used. It’s fully integrated with all of my fellow Arcovis partners’ environments and gives me access to the calendar (sem er mikil). Good stuff.

Það veitir einnig Web Outlook Aðgangur (OWA) interface. That means I can get my email on any machine that has a web browser.

HTC farsíma minn, keyra Windows Mobile 6.1(?) connected to it nicely via Active Sync. It did this in exactly the way I expected and wanted.

Ég tel mig ekki mikið meira en frjálslegur horfur og gengi notandi, þannig að það getur verið mjög mikilvægt húsum aðgerðir sem bara eru ekki studd og ég vildi ekki endilega vita það.

I think the strongest recommendation I make for this is that I am completely unaware that my exchange environment is “somewhere else.” I don’t know see any difference in Exchange and how I use it on a daily basis versus the half dozen or so other times I used someone’s exchange environment. Í raun, þetta er betra því það virkar einfaldlega.

Neðsta lína - Hosted Exchange er hvað það þarf að vera og ég er mjög ánægð með það.

Live Meeting

This is a truly indispensible tool when you’re in the consulting business. I fire up instant live meetings several times a week to show intermediate work product to clients, að horfa á þá brjóta lausnir á mér svo að ég veit hvernig við gætum bætt þær, gera velta kynningar, o.fl.. Live meeting is bundled with BPOS and it’s very easy to use.

I’m even less of a live meeting expert than I am on exchange. Hins, fyrir tilgangi mínum, það er frábært.

Communicator

Svo langt, I use communicator almost only for presence information. I say “only” but have that presence data available to me whenever I’m connect has become addictive. With communicator installed and running, samstarfsmenn mínir vita þegar ég er laus, hvað áætlun mín er eins og á þessari stundu, og geta IM mig (þótt IM tengi er nokkuð illa, í besta falli). It’s one of those things that I really miss when I don’t have it. I actually get a little annoyed when my colleagues aren’t running communicator because the presence information is missing.

The presence indicator feels pervasive. It shows up in SharePoint whenever their name appears as an author to a document, úthlutað verkefni, o.fl.. It shows in email, embedded right in outlook. It shows up in the communicator client itself.

For the most it just sits there running in the background and decorates my outlook and SharePoint screens with real-time presence information. It’s very cool.

SharePoint

Uppáhalds hluti minn, auðvitað, is SharePoint.

BPOS provides a modified version of MOSS standard edition. I’ll explain “modified” below. We’ve been using our BPOS SharePoint portal for stuff like:

  • Markaðssetning upplýsingar
  • Sölu (tillögur, Lead Rekja) -> við gerum áætlun um að fjárfesta í CRM lausn en nú, SharePoint er að vinna út sem lausn CRM okkar.
  • Samstarfsaðila og viðskiptavini tengiliði
  • Leita
  • Viðskiptavinur verkefni upplýsingar
  • Innheimtu (aðallega til að geyma reikninga okkar)
  • Umræður
  • Prototyping lausnir
  • Byggja út sýning staður (e.g. nýráðningum stjórnenda HR ferli)
  • Time blöð
  • Document samstarf

Grundvallaratriðum, öll efni sem þú vilt búast við að nota SharePoint fyrir.

Á leiðinni, við notum tæknilega eiginleika eins:

  • Viðvaranir
  • SharePoint Designer
    • Verkferlar
    • Blandaður
  • Efnisgerðir
  • CQWP
  • Skjal bókasöfnum með stjórn útgáfa
  • Sérsniðin listum til alls konar hluti (eins lak tíma okkar)
  • jQuery (og öll gæfa að geta komið frá því að, þ.mt AJAX kalla til SharePoint Web Services)

Hvað get ég ekki gert við það? There are a bunch of things that would be nice:

  • I cannot provide anonymous access. Í raun, i don’t think I can do that for any price. I could be wrong, eða vonandi MSFT mun breyta þessu í framtíðinni.
  • Engin InfoPath af einhverju tagi.
    • Þetta hefur örlítið undarlega aukaverkun hindra nokkur staðall workflows mosa sem treysta á InfoPath.
  • No server side code. That means, m.a.:
    • No event receivers
    • No custom SharePoint designer actions
    • No custom field types
    • No proper SDLC (i.e. features/solutions).
    • No access to stsadm
  • No access to a shared service provider.
    • The last bit is a little sad because we can’t do as much search configuration I would like.

      You basically give up a lot of technical capability and are forced to live within the confines of out-of-the-box SharePoint functionality.

      I can live with that. I have found myself wanting to slap together an event receiver or use a custom action once or twice,, but for the most part, I don’t notice the lack.

      I should add that this is not a comprehensive list of the differences between a hosted “on prem” MOSS environment and SharePoint on line. Cloud Strategies has a very detailed presentation that goes into all that if you’re interested. I’m speaking from the perspective of a business owner leveraging the tool.

      Auðvelt í notkun

      Microsoft veitir nifty skrifborð forrit sem gerir fljótlegan og auðveldan aðgang að öllum BPOs virka:

      image

      Þú þarft ekki að nota það, en útrýma the þörf til að skrá þig inn í hvert forrit fyrir sig og fyrir lifandi fundi, Það er alveg gott af því að þú getur gert "hitta nú" fundur með bara 2 smellir (one on the “web conferencing” button above and another on the web browser that pops up). It’s also nice to get OWA with one click, though you can just put that in your browser favorites as well.

      The other major advantage with this desktop application is that it provides a background kind of single sign on service. As long as this is running in the background, I can open up web browsers and connect to my BPOS environment without ever needing to enter credentials.

      Full Disclosure

      Microsoft made BPOS available to me for free so I am not currently paying the monthly per user fee at this time. Hins, I see value there and you can accept on faith (eða ekki) that I would pay for this service. The fact is that I can’t count on Microsoft providing this for free forever and it’s become so strongly integrated with my business that moving … the mind quails.

      Ályktun

      BPOS is an insanely feature rich platform. Exchange, SharePoint (MOSS Standard!), presence, instant live meetings – it’s a lot of functionality that I would sorely, sorely miss if I had to live without it. My business would be severely impacted without it. Could I find replacement functionality? Probably, but I think I would have to cobble it together from a variety of other vendors, complicating my life. BPOS has so far proven itself to be stable and reliable. For the right kind of customer (like my company), BPOS is worth strong consideration.

      Duglegur Fylgdu Microsoft SharePoint (og annað) SharePoint Forums

      Ég hef verið eftirfarandi MSDN málþing til vel á annað ár (og hugsanlega nánast 2 ár á þessum tímapunkti) and every now and then I hear from someone how “hard” it is to do that. I find it quite easy and thought I’d share my “technique”. This technique also works for www.endusersharepoint.com (http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP).

      Taka MSDN sem dæmi, Ég fer fyrst til staðlaða vettvangur síðu svo sem almennar spurningar um SharePoint aðalsíðu hér: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneral/threads

      Þú ættir strax eftir því að ráðstefnur eru RSS virkt, eins og sýnt:

      image

      Ég hef verið að nota Google Reader til að stjórna RSS straumar mínum í langan tíma núna (www.google.com / lesandi). I go there, add the RSS feed for the forum and now I’m getting all new forums posts via RSS. My Google feeds for SharePoint forums look like this:

      image

      Google gefur mér gott yfirlit yfir birtingu sig:

      image

      Og að lokum, Google leyfir mér að nota lyklaborðið til að fletta í gegnum bréf í umræðunum á þennan hátt.

      Ég get hraðlesið innlegg og einblína bara á þeim sem ég leyfi mér að gera gagnlegt framlag.

      Alerts close the loop. Updates to posts don’t come through RSS (þó að ég held að þeir nota til að fyrir löngu síðan). Hins, ef ég skrifa svar við umræðum staða, the forums alert me via email and IM that someone responded in turn. Eða, ef ég get ekki gera gagnlegt framlag en ég vil vita hvað aðrir hafa að segja, Ég get bora í það og sérstaklega óskað tilkynningar þegar aðrir gera bregðast.

      Í klukkutíma eða minna þú getur stillt þetta ferli upp og og í viku reglulega notkun, læra ýmsar brellur hljómborð og flýtileiðir þannig að þetta verður annað eðli.

      I use the exact same technique for End User SharePoint.Com’s “Stump the Panel” forums. This is their RSS feed: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/rss/.

      Málþing eru ógnvekjandi leið, hugsanlega besta leiðin undir beinni persónulegri reynslu, að læra vöruna og fá gott yfirlit yfir hvernig heimurinn, á stórum, uses SharePoint. Give it a try!

      Stjórnskipulag er Marketing Plan Of

      Ástæðan að eyða svo miklum tíma (eða ætti, samt) working out governance plans is because we want the SharePoint solution to be as effective as possible. We want good infrastructure and rules to keep it humming and safe in case of disaster. We want good security processes to both properly secure the environment but also make it reasonable to manage. We want a good information architecture that will stand the test of time, ideally managing to survive a major organizational change in the company.

      Til að ná því æskilegt markmið, A stjórnarhætti skjal og áætlun getur flytjast inn fullt af "Þú skalt" og "Þú skalt ekki er", eins og í:

      • Þú skalt ekki búa SharePoint öryggi hópsins; nota AD staðinn.
      • Þú skalt ekki búa til möppur í bókasöfnum skjal; nota efnisgerðir og skoðunum stað.
      • Þú skalt búa Allt efni skjal tegundir byggt burt ákveðna sérsniðnum grunn tegund.
      • Þú skalt ekki búa til upplýsingar flokkun byggir á fyrirtæki org töfluna í dag.

      "Þú skalt" og "Þú skalt ekki" vissulega hafa sinn stað í stjórnsýslu áætlun.

      A more successful governance plan will also have a strong marketing angle. It should sell and justify itself to the maximum extent possible. A truly successful governance plan relies upon the voluntary cooperation of all SharePoint users. (Það eru starfstengdar tilvik þar samfélag samstarf er ekki þörf, svo sem þegar SharePoint er notað af mjög fáum vel stjórnað notendur; Ég er viss um að þú er að hugsa um aðra). If the user community doesn’t buy into your governance plan then it will be partially successful at best.

      I use that word “buy” deliberately. The community will buy the governance plan if it’s fundamentally sound and you go to some effort to sell them on it. Selling leads to marketing and that’s why I think that a governance plan should be considered a marketing plan too. Convince your end users that they need to follow the governance plan and they will voluntarily follow it. If you can get a critical mass of people following the governance plan then the plan’s benefits follow and you’ll have a stronger environment for it.

      Notkun MSDN (og önnur) Málþing fyrir SharePoint Stuðningur

      Ég gæti skrifað um á góðu lengd um MSDN málþing, siðir, nafngiftir samninga, leita, o.fl.. I may do that, í raun. I wanted to point out a small thing which may help people have a better overall experience.

      Ég hef undanfarið verið að segja fólki að ef þú keyrir inn í einhvers konar vandamál við umhverfi SharePoint þinn, þróunarverkefni eða aðra SharePoint tengd starfsemi, post a question to the forums earlier in your action chain rather than later. I know for myself that when I have a problem, a number of potential solutions present themselves right away. I order these potential solutions in terms of likelihood, applicability and how easy they are to investigate. I go through that list and by the time I’ve gotten to #10, Ég er að gera skrásetning breytingar lykill "/ foo / bar / almostThere / isThisIt / noThisIsNotIt / iCantBelieveIAmDoingThis / finallyThere!"Á ráðgjöf á bloggið að finna á síðunni 8 of a Google search. When that doesn’t work, Ég skrifa loksins spurningu til MSDN (e.g. hér: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneral/threads).

      I suggest that you reverse that approach. Post the forums much earlier in your investigation because:

      • Það er ókeypis til þín engu að síður.
      • Það er engin ábyrgð SLA (sem ég er meðvitaður, að minnsta kosti).
      • Því, það getur tekið langan tíma fyrir fólk að bregðast.
      • Fólk oft bregðast að lokum.
      • Ef þú bíður þangað til 2 eða 3 dögum eftir að vandamál yfirborðið fyrst, þú ert frantic eftir svari og ráðstefnur eru ekki góður staður fyrir aðstoð í neyðartilvikum (nema þú ert heppinn).

      Svo, grundvallaratriðum, það er auðvelt og ókeypis og þú hefur gott skot á að fá einhvers konar svar, en það mun taka nokkurn tíma að fá þessi svör (aftur, nema þú ert heppinn).

      I used to think that I should hold off on looking for community help because I don’t want to waste someone’s time asking for help when I could find it out myself. Some forum moderators and active participants may feel that way, en ég er ekki (að minnsta kosti, Ég finn ekki svona lengur). I don’t see any downside. The worst case is that you post a question and then answer it yourself some time later, possibly “wasting” some one’s time. I don’t see a big risk in that and there’s value in the researching of questions like that in any event.

      SharePoint spá fyrir 2009

      I’ve read a few retrospectives on 2008 and this has got me to thinking about 2009. Here are my guesses at the future of SharePoint in 2009.

      Small Disclaimer

      I’m a SharePoint MVP and as a result, I sometimes get a little advance information before it’s public. I am NOT making any such information public. I really haven’t been around long enough to be entrusted with that kind of stuff anyway.

      With that out of the way, on to the predictions …

      HRATT

      I believe that FAST will become a very hot topic in 2009. It’s already well known in the enterprise search community. Hins, everyone that plays around with SharePoint in 2009 will soon be interested in this product and what it can do for them. New consulting companies will spring up around it and existing partners will work and scramble to add it to its portfolio. This time next year, almost everyone in the SharePoint community will have heard of and have an opinion about FAST.

      FAST is targeted at large companies and that will continue. I think there’s at least an outside chance that Microsoft will release a more focused version of the product that is accessible to smaller companies. Failing that, they will open up the SharePoint search engine so that it can be customized along the lines that FAST can be customized. Til dæmis, FAST uses pipeline architecture for consuming content and indexing it. FAST admins and developers can assemble pipeline components per data source and even create new pipeline components. We don’t have this flexibility with SharePoint today. If FAST remains firmly targeted at very large companies, SharePoint search will adopt some of FAST’s features.

      SharePoint V.Next

      I believe it will come out in 2009.

      I believe that it will provide us the ability to secure views on a list or document library. This may be more of a hope than a belief 🙂

      I hope it will provide some better support for end users in SharePoint Designer and particularly workflow.

      I don’t know much else, I have been actively tracking what I do find here: http://delicious.com/pagalvin/SharePoint_O14.

      Vendors Will Create Business Applications

      Í dag, most SharePoint vendors seem to be gadget oriented. Take Bamboo eða Corasworks til dæmis. They have a huge following and great portfolio of products. Hins, they seem sort of gadgety to me or developer / tool focused. Admin tools, workflow tools, o.fl.. That’s not a criticism at all because SharePoint can definitely use some gadgets.

      Í 2009, some vendors (and very possibly Bamboo themselves, if I read this correctly) will put together verticalized business applications in the form of templates, features, solutions, o.fl.. I’m thinking about the fabulous forty templates today but tailored to specific industries. I’m sort of surprised it’s not already exploited this way. SharePoint is a platform for delivering these kinds of things. What’s everyone waiting for? They won’t wait any longer in 2009.

      Á sama tíma, Silverlight and other cool .NET stuff will fuel new, better and more interesting gadgets.

      Sharepointreviews.com will become the essential community catalog of these products.

      End User Focus

      2009 will see the emergence of the End User as a major focus for bloggers, organizations and Microsoft themselves. Mark Miller’s End User SharePoint.Com played a big role in 2008 and will continue to do so in 2009. End Users will begin to blog, help to transform user groups into less technical venues and even convince someone or organization to launch a pure End User focused conference.

      Conferences, User Groups, Code Camps, o.fl.

      Speaking of conferences – they will continue to expand and grow in number and focus. Aside from end user content, they will continue to cater to developers and administrators.

      Virtual conferences will start to pick up and existing conferences will provide live feeds to remote attendees who cannot or choose not to attend in person.

      Free venues will expand, svo sem eins og Mike Lotter’s (et al) SharePoint Laugardagur.

      This is going to be very important because there will continue to be a large influx of new developers, admins and end users who will be craving the kind of information these groups provide.

      Félagslegur Computing

      Demand for social computing features will rise. All things being equal, companies that implement effective social computing strategies will do better and be stronger than their competitors.

      Smaller companies will adopt these features more quickly and effectively than large companies.

      Large companies: beware 🙂

      Best Practices versus Remediation

      Í 2008, a lot of SharePoint bloggers and organizations and Microsoft themselves spent a lot of time figuring out the best way to solve certain problems (usually technical problems).

      There are still opportunities to define and foster adoption of best practices. Hins, while we’ve been figuring out the best way to install, configure and manage SharePoint, hundreds and thousands of companies have been installing, configuring and managing SharePoint without those best practices at hand.

      Í 2009, a lot of companies are going to realize they have some deeply rooted problems to solve and will be looking to the elite members of the SharePoint community and Microsoft for help to fix them. I think this will extend well into 2010 and possibly spawn a cottage industry providing remediation services for companies that really need and use SharePoint, but are hurting badly because of poor decisions made early in their implementation.

      The Mother Ship Will Return

      Í 2009, the Mother Ship will return and bring Bob Fox home.

      Final Thoughts

      I didn’t start working with SharePoint myself in any real way until January 2007. It seems to me that SharePoint has really taken off and proven itself capable of delivering a lot of value in these two years. I think that in many ways, it didn’t really straighten itself out until the infrastructure update. It still has its bugs and problems, but we’ve all come along way since 01/2007. 2009 is going to be a banner year for SharePoint.

      Starfsmaður Þjálfun Stundaskrá og Efni Snið — Sæti Count Bug PLUS Öryggi Festa(?)

      Þetta er nokkuð vinsælt "stórkostlegur 40" sniðmát. It also has a bug which is widely known (Ég hef jafnvel bloggaði um hvernig á að laga það).

      Sogeti gefið út Codeplex verkefni í þessari viku sem fastur galla (sem er ágætur út af fyrir sig, en ekki jörð-shattering) en þeir segjast einnig að hafa leyst miklu thornier vandamál: security. The fab 40 sniðmát þarf mjög örlátur öryggi stilling (notandi þarf framlög stigi aðgang að nánast allt). Not any more! According to the codeplex summary:

      "This template also includes a new custom workflow action which enables the template to work without having to give all users contribute permissions to the courses list."

      Það er gott efni og þess virði að skoða.
