SharePoint Shop Spjall Fimmtudagur, 09/10/09 á 12:30PM UTC

1 Svara

SharePoint Shop Talk áfram þetta Fimmtudagur á 12:30 UTC til 1:30PM UTC. This will be our 5th call I believe. SharePoint Shop Talk works like this:

  • A panel of SharePoint Experts answer questions. This week the panel includes Laura Rogers, Natalya Voskresenskaya, Harry Jones og mig.
  • Any SharePoint question is fair game.
  • Send or ask questions:
    • By email: info@arcovis.com
    • Twitter directly to @pagalvin
    • Leave a comment on this blog
    • Write the question down on the back of a piece of poster board, one side of which is covered with $20 bills and mailed to my home address (leave a comment and I will be in touch with you directly).
    • Loks, dial into the call and just ask it out loud.

This week we have a few questions around SharePoint workflow. Two sample questions:

  • “How do I deploy a SharePoint Designer workflow from development to test?"
  • “Does SharePoint Designer workflow work well with InfoPath? How I can share information between an InfoPath form and a SharePoint Designer workflow?"

This week’s SharePoint Shop Talk registration is up. Click here to register. We hope to hear you there!

Internet Explorer 8 Hrun // 64 bita Operating Systems

Skildu eftir skilaboð

A athugasemd frá Bob Fox (í gegnum Twitter, @bfox11b) minnti mig að ég hefði ætlað að kasta saman a fljótur bloggfærslu sem lýsir vandamál og lausnin mín að Internet Explorer hrun á mig allan tímann.

Fyrir nokkrum mánuðum síðan, Ég fékk nýja fartölvu (Dell Vostro 1720). This is my first 64 bita vél og ég var að keyra 64 bit IE8. Með tímanum, það byrjaði að hrun unpredictably, en oft (líklega á hverjum degi). It’s pretty agile at recovering from all that, but it was a real nuisance.

Vandamálið virðist hafa verið Adobe tappi, “Air” or their flash plugin – I don’t really know what it’s called or care all that much. It turns out that it’s not compatible with a 64 bita umhverfi (sem er * algerlega * eðlilegar; það er ekki eins 64 hluti er góður af hlutur sem einhver nema *** brjálaður *** fyrirtæki vilja styðja eða eitthvað). I tried to uninstall it but that experiment only lasted about 15 mínútur. It turns out that a ridiculous number of sites are using flash tech (Ég kann að vera síðastur að átta sig á þessu á jörðinni). Svo, Ég get ekki lifað án þess og ég get ekki notað IE8 64 hluti.

My answer is to switch to 32bit IE8. It’s been smooth sailing since then.

Við halda áfram SharePoint Shop Talk morgun á 12:30 PM UTC. Eins og venjulega, ef það eru einhverjar málefni eða spurningar sem þú vilt spjaldið til að takast, please email them to info@arcovis.com.

This week we are drawing a few questions from the www.endusersharepoint.com Stump The Panel forums:

  • "Ég skil að foreldri staður og barn síða getur ekki tjáð. Til dæmis, I would like to either push data from a list in a child site to a list in a parent site or have the parent site pull data from child site. Is there a way to design a workflow to accomplish having data sent for pulled from lists in a parent/child site relationship?"
  • “On my newform.aspx for my main list, I have a lookup column that points to the title column in my employee list.

    In the employee list, there is another column that is a checkbox named ‘active’.

    What I would like to happen is on the newform of the main list, when they click on the dropdown it only displays the records from the employee list that are marked active.

    Is there a way to filter the dropdown on the mainlist’s newform.aspx so it only displays the ones marked active?"

  • “I know this is simple but, for the life of me I can’t get it to work! We have a discussion board that we built a date field into call expiration. I would like to automatically have expired items delete after their expiration date. If you could send me a screen shot of the workflow it would be much appreciated. Basically if expired = today then delete current item “
  • “I am trying to set up a sign-up list for a blood drive, wherein once a time slot is chosen, it is no longer available. Is there a way to do this, besides just making an Excel-type spreadsheet be the sign-up? "

And if we have time:

  • How many SharePoint experts does it take to change a light bulb?

Auk þess, we answer questions directly from email and we’re open to questions any time on the call itself.

SharePoint á netinu // BPOs - Sumir Hands á reynslu

Skildu eftir skilaboð

(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.

      SharePoint - Hvað er gott fyrir? A Care Health Mini Case Study

      Skildu eftir skilaboð

      [Athugaðu: þetta blogg er yfir settar á síðuna Mark Miller hér: HTTP://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p = 1.897]

      Einn af félagsins mín meira óvenjulegt viðskiptavinum er New York City læknir, sem er leiðandi á tilteknu sviði hans læknisfræði (auga aðgát). Like many doctors, he has a strong interest in research. He wanted to do some research on a rare eye disorder that affects a relatively small number of people in the U.S. and Canada. I don’t know the number, but it’s really too small for a large pharmaceutical company to invest its own private funds with an eye toward eventual commercial success. I’m sure large pharma’s do some amount of research into rare diseases, en ég tel að bandarískt. government is probably the largest source of funding. Eins og ekkert, resources are scarce. Many doctors across the country want to perform research and trials. Þar af leiðandi, there’s more than a little competition for that government funding. This is where my company and SharePoint enter the picture.

      The fundamental idea is that a master organization will recruit other doctors across the country and enlist those doctors’ practices in a particular research study. These individual practices must sign up with the master organization and then, síðan, sign up for a particular study. The relationships look like this:

      • Einn herra stofnun.
      • Venjur mörgum mismunandi læknir skrá sig með skipstjóra skipulag.
      • The master organization obtains funding for individual studies. At the outset, það er bara ein rannsókn á tilteknum sjaldgæf auga sjúkdómur en við erum nú þegar rampur upp fyrir annarri rannsókn.
      • Individual doctors’ practices sign up for specific studies. A specific practice could sign up for one or multiple studies.

      Skipstjóri sjálft er skipt niður í hópa:

      • Framkvæmdanefnd
      • Stýrihópur
      • Einstök nefndir rannsókn
      • Gjöf
      • aðrir

      Lokum, þegar æfa ákveðna læknis skráir sig til að taka þátt í rannsókn, þeir þurfa að veita sérfræðinga til að uppfylla ýmis hlutverk:

      • Rannsóknarmenn (þ.mt aðal rannsóknaraðili, venjulega læknir, ásamt einum eða fleiri investigators)
      • Landanna
      • Tæknimenn
      • Styrkir stjórnendur
      • aðrir

      The above roles have very specific and highly proscribed roles that vary by study. I won’t get into more detail here, en ef þú hefur áhuga, eftir umsögn eða email mig.

      Og nú get ég svarað spurningunni, SharePoint - Hvað er það gott fyrir? The answer – it’s really good for this scenario.

      Þetta Intro er þegar lengri en ég bjóst við, svo ég ætla að draga saman hið mikilvæga hlutverk sem SharePoint spilar í lausninni og kafa inn upplýsingar í framtíðinni grein (ef þú getur ekki beðið, email mig eða leyfi a athugasemd og ég mun vera fús til að ræða og kannski jafnvel reyna að gera kynningu). We are leveraging a wide array of SharePoint features to support this concept:

      • Síður fyrir nefndum, einstökum hlutverkum (samræmingarstjóra staður, rannsakanda staður, o.fl.).
      • Öryggi til að tryggja að mismunandi venjur sérð ekki gögn annarra vinnuaðferða ".
      • InfoPath forms services for online form entry. This is a particularly big win. Normally, þessum erfiðu eyðublöð eru prentuð, send til venjur, filled out and mailed back. The advantages to the online forms are obvious. They do introduce some complexities (leyfisveitingar og manna) en það er önnur saga.
      • Út af the vefur kassi hluta, eins tilkynningum (þegar er nefnd [x] mæta?) og fundi vinnu rými.
      • Eyðublöð undirstaða staðfesting ásamt Codeplex tól til að veita sjálf-skráningu og lykilorð gleyma lögun.
      • Sérsniðin listum og listar fyrir skyggni í starfsemi rannsóknar sem einfaldlega eru ekki mögulegt með hreinu pappír og blýantur líður.

      Að undanskildum eyðublöðum undirstaða staðfesting mát og handfylli af myndum Infopath, þetta verkefni er að nota næstum öll út af SharePoint kassi virkni.

      Áður en ég sett upp þessa mín-dæmisögu, Ég vil benda á eitthvað mjög mikilvægt - ekki á þátt í þessu verkefni (innskot frá fyrirtæki mínu auðvitað) has any idea that a thing called “SharePoint” is playing such a fundamental technical role. Nearly all of my end users view this as “the web site.” Our client values us because we’re solving their business problem. SharePoint is a great technical blob of goodness, en gert á réttan, that’s irrelevant to end users. They need a problem solved, ekki yndislegt Blob tækni.

      Cloud Computing, Áherslu SharePoint

      Skildu eftir skilaboð

      Í staðinn fyrir SharePoint Shop Talk fundur fimmtudaginn, my partners and I at Arcovis are teaming up with Cloud Aðferðir og Integrated Systems og þjónusta Group to give what I hope will be an interesting presentation on Microsoft’s online services, með áherslu á framleiðni Business Online Suite (BPOs). Arcovis actually uses BPOS for its internal SharePoint portal so we have some hands on experience and the kind of experience borne of daily use. Í raun, the demo itself is running in our very own BPOS environment.

      Þú getur read all the gory sales details here but the main points are:

    • The Cloud Computing Value Proposition: When to Consider Moving to the Cloud
    • Microsoft’s Online Services: Business Productivity Online Suite Overview
    • SharePoint™ Online Spotlight
    • Live Demonstration: Empowering your Business using SharePoint Online
    • How to Get Started with Cloud Computing

      Ég ætla að gefa lifandi kynningu og ég held að það ætti að vera áhugavert í sjálfu sér, skildu í heild ský / online thing. I’m going to describe a very common business process, hið fræga New Hire / On-boarding process. I’ll demonstrate a solution that uses SharePoint to implement that process. The demo will include notifications, A mælaborð og bara almennt flott skyggni við hvað er að gerast með nýráðningar.

      Ég hef persónulega til framkvæmda þessa lausn fyrir þremur aðskildum fyrirtækjum, so I know it’s a pretty common process that people like to automate using SharePoint. With luck, Arcovis will be using this ourselves soon enough 🙂

      Svo, ef þú hefur haft áhuga á computing ský frá mjög hagnýtum SharePoint sjónarhorn, this webinar is just what you need to do this Thursday 🙂

      • SharePoint Talk Shop ágrip

      2 Svör

      We held our 3rd SharePoint Shop Talk session yesterday. Twenty-five folk braved the overly aggressive registration screen (við erum að vinna á það!) to sign up and dial into the call.

      The topics varied widely although they were a bit more end user and light admin focused this time. We spent a lot of time discussing the age old question, “how do I secure a view”. There was some SharePoint Designer in there, smá dreifing efnis, útgáfa af hlutum vefur á síðum útgáfu (Það raunverulega er ekki allir versioning fyrir hlutum vefur), bestu leiðirnar til að setja upp öryggi (answer = "það fer" og halda í kjölfar huga Joris 'hér: http://jopx.blogspot.com/2009/08/sharepoint-and-2000-principal-limit.html) og greinandi (sem leiddi til kynna færslu Todd Klindt er hér um LogParser og SharePoint: http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=85).

      A pattern seems to be forming with these calls. A question is emailed in or asked during the Q&A and the bottom line answer is “it depends.” The panel discusses various angles to the question, við getum villast burt á the stakur snertir eða tvo, en í lok, we’ve had a pretty thorough discussion of that topic. My goal with these sessions is that question asker walks away from the call with more options to solve her problem than she had before she joined the call. I think it’s safe to say that that’s happening (í raun, hún kann að hafa of marga möguleika í sumum tilvikum).

      Næsta vika, samstarfsmenn mínir og ég á Arcovis eru sameiginlega kynna webinar með tveimur samstarfsaðilum okkar, Integrated Systems og þjónusta Group og Cloud Aðferðir about Microsoft Online services. I think it’s going to be very informative. Our role (Arcovis) is to present a short demo on how to build a real world solution using Microsoft on line. We’re going to demonstrate a human resources application to manage the on-boarding process for new hires. If you’ve wondered about MS Online, check this webinar out.

      Þetta Webinar þýðir líklega að við munum ekki vera að halda tala Shop fundur í næstu viku, but keep tuned 🙂 If we do have it, það mun ekki vera á fimmtudaginn.

      Enn og aftur, þakkir fer í spjaldið: Harry Jones, Natalya Voskresenskaya and Laura Rogers. Takk, krakkar!

      SharePoint Shop Talk hugsanir og viðbrögð

      Skildu eftir skilaboð

      We held our second “SharePoint Shop Talk” session yesterday and it was a lot of fun. We had fewer attendees this time (aðallega vegna þess að félagi okkar, ISSG, ekki senda út stór email Bjóða til viðskiptavina sinna). Á hinn bóginn, we had probably more than twice as many questions to answer. We had so many, í raun, að við gátum ekki fengið að öllum þeim, so now we have a little bit of a head start on questions for next week’s Shop Talk session. The questions and our responses touched on data view web parts, setja notandi svæði tilteknar upplýsingar kerfisbundið, SharePoint Designer workflows, brjálaður innviði spurning um Kerberos (sem var sennilega planta af Bob Fox) and jQuery. Því miður, engin Banjo brandara, þó. Sigh…

      Við höfum skráð á síðuna, www.sharepointshoptalk.com og við viljum byrja að nota það til að gera alla venjulega hluti, eins tilkynna áætlun um símtöl, put up the recordings of the sessions and the questions/answers themselves. (nennir ekki að smella á tengilinn sem það er ekki allir efni þar sem enn).

      Á vakt í gær, við höfðum upprunalega sérfræðingur spjaldið sem fylgir Arcovis samstarfsaðila mínum (Natalya Voskresenskaya og Harry Jones). We added Laura Rogers af EUSP.com (og annars staðar) Frægð. To top it all off, SharePoint MVP Bil Simser joined the call and we roped him into the discussion. Bil even dusted off an Gamla bloggið færslu og uppfærð það in response to one of the questions.

      Ef þú ert áhugaverð í þátt sem "opinbert" í nefndinni, eldur burt tölvupóst á info@arcovis.com og láttu okkur vita (Ég lofa að að netfangið nú virkar!) eða DM mig, Natalya eða Harry í gegnum Twitter.

      Takk Bil og Laura!

      That’s a lot of SharePoint firepower on the line ready to answer your questions as best we can.

      I’ll be posting details for the next SharePoint Talk Shop session on my blog and twitter.

      Ég var að vinna á InfPath formi í dag og hljóp upp á móti gömlum vini, "Óvænt undantekning þegar flutningur formi System.Xml.XmlException: Óvæntur endir á skrá meðan þáttun Name hefur átt sér stað. "

      This happened to me a long time ago and I don’t know what exactly I did to resolve it. Honestly, I think that I had been transitioning to a new project and never saw this one resolved (my replacements had to deal with that headache). I do remember it was a devil of a problem. I spent several unsuccessful days dealing with it. Since then, I’ve seen this come up on MSDN forums at least once over the last year and never really saw an answer for it.

      I hit it today and fortunately this time , I had just made a change to the form. I backed out that change and the problem went away. It turns out that it’s possible to create a from template using InfoPath Designer in such a way that it generates a parse error on the forms server side of the fence.

      Í mínu tilfelli, the problem was caused by these steps:

      1. Add a new element to a data source as a text field.
      2. Drop it onto the form.
      3. Change it’s display into a drop down list.
      4. Tell the drop down list to pull its values from a SharePoint custom list.

      I don’t know if those steps cause a problem or maybe, somehow the data in the list itself is a problem. I’m going to experiment a bit and see if I can nail downt he parameters of this with any more detail.
