Formae non possunt. Hoc potest pertinere ad misconfiguration ex Microsoft Muneris publica SharePoint Server. Ut enim ad minim, contact your server administrator.

I had previously set up my farm on an underpowered laptop and in trying to help it out, I tried to turn off / disable a bunch of services, ut ostensum:

It turns out that the State Service is pretty important 🙂

I reconnected my web app to the State Service I was immediately able to run my workflows.

BPOS HR Demo / Case Study Video

[Updated 12/07/09 to use gigantic windows live icons since the links were broken. Windows live doens’t know how to embed .wmv files that are hosted on sky drive, videtur. Aut, I can’t figure it out, quod forte probabilius.]

Pauci weeks ago, I was scanning through my twitter stream and noticed a tweet from the Microsoft BPOS team. They were looking for volunteers to do live meetings that show-cased business solutions delivered via BPOS. (Quaero, si te faciente tamen esse, Nuntius vivunt angusta et Faciam mihi per introductionem).

Vivamus cursus in occursum parat, Creavi ego testimonium duo sessionibus uti Camtasia (vere terrificoque tool, BTW).

Primae Sessionis est de 16 minutes long and focuses almost entirely on the business solution with very little discussion about technology. Click this giagantic windlows live icon thing to download and view it:

Secundo sessionem multo longior est ad 32 minutes. It is more detailed and has more technical background info. Click this other gigantic windlows live icon thingie to view the longer recording:

The actual live session took place a few days ago. I zipped through the presentation itself and as a result, illic 'a bono 20 ad 30 minuta immitis ( 🙂 ) Q&A that is a great complement to the videos I link above. When I get the recorded meeting link, I’ll post that too. I think that in combination, vere praebet bonum fundamentum BPOS intellectus et ejus facultatibus current.

Si vos have ullus questions, contactus notitia est in ipsa præsentatione, ita me sentire liberum ping via email.

Annuncians Microsoft Enterprise quaerere Usor Group

I’m very excited to announce that Natalya Voskresenskaya, civium meorum et socium SharePoint MVP (cum a me auxilium longe minus quam merebatur) is launching a new user group devoted to enterprise search based on Microsoft technology. As a practical matter, Haec ulcera ad SP, 2010 quaerere et multum loquuntur de GRAVITER, especially in our first session. Natalya and I have written a lot about FAST over the last year on our blogs (Natalya has more and better stuff than I!).

Our first meeting is coming up in just a few weeks in New York at Microsoft’s newly renovated offices on 6th near Rock Center. If you’re in New York on 12/9, you have no excuse not to make an appearance. Likewise for you Jersey people. Connecticut people can stay home (just kidding!).

NY/NJ/CT people should skip this paragraph. We also plan to record the session and run a live web session so if you live outside the tri-state area, you should be able to tune in.

I’ll blog about this some more as this most auspicious day approaches but register now. After you register, the long wait begins. During that time, clear your schedule, break the news to your family and alert the media because you won’t want to miss Nate Treloar launch our group to the moon and beyond 🙂

Notitia in comparando Dates View Parte Web ædificare WSS KPI

Note: this was first posted at www.endusersharepoint.com hic: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2009/11/02/comparing-dates-in-a-data-view-web-part-to-build-a-wss-kpi-in-sharepoint/.

Hoc est adhuc alia notitia in a blog post Comparando palmulas in p visum textus partem in SharePoint.

Hoc est missionem meam:

  • Ego consuetudo album.
  • The business purpose of the list is to support the idea of a new employee and his/her tasks to be completed within 7 days of starting the job.
  • They are in a “warning zone” after 4 days if they have not completed these tasks.
  • I want to create a simple dashboard that shows green when they have either completed the task or if they have more than 4 days to complete it.
  • I want the dashboard to show yellow if they are in the warning zone.
  • I want to to show red if they have not completed the task after the due date.

I borrowed from hoc articulum ad Marc Anderson’s blog (http://mdasblog.wordpress.com/2008/02/19/comparing-dates-in-sharepoint-using-xsl/) to get the comparison logic and hoc articulum ad www.endusersharepoint.com for the basic ideas behind the dashboard (http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2008/12/09/visual-indicators-for-the-masses-kpis-in-wss/) written by Toni Frankola.

You should read the supporting blogs, but the implementation goes like this:

  1. Partum a content type (columnas + CT)
  2. Create a custom list and associate it with the content type.
  3. Create a web part page.
  4. Add the custom list to the web part page.
  5. Open up the page in SPD.
  6. Convert the list to a DVWP.
  7. Modify the XSL to generate the dashboard bits.

I have two dates: a warning date and a due date. To compare the dates, my xsl does the following:

 
 <p:elegerit>
 
 <!-- When both handbook and policy are signed, we are green regardless of dates. -->
 <p:cum test="@Employee_x0020_Handbook_x003F_ = 1 and @Security_x0020_Policies = 1">
 <img msgstr="/_layouts/images/KPIDefault-0.GIF" alt="No problems"/>
 <a href="/HumanResources/Lists/New Employee Checklist/EditForm.aspx?ID={ID @}&amp;Source=/HumanResources/Shared Documents/New Hire Dashboard.aspx"> [Edit]</a>
 </p:cum>
 
 <!-- Show amber indicator if we're past the warning date. -->
 <p:cum test="ddwrt:FormatDateTime(filum(ddwrt:Hodie()), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd') &gt;= ddwrt:FormatDateTime(filum(@TaskDueDate), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd')">
 <img msgstr="/_layouts/images/KPIDefault-2.GIF" alt="Overdue"/>
 <a style="border: 0px" href="/HumanResources/Lists/New Employee Checklist/EditForm.aspx?ID={ID @}&amp;Source=/HumanResources/Shared Documents/New Hire Dashboard.aspx"> [Edit]</a>
 </p:cum>
 
 <!-- Show red indicator if we're passed the due date. -->
 <p:cum test="ddwrt:FormatDateTime(filum(ddwrt:Hodie()), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd') &gt;= ddwrt:FormatDateTime(filum(@Warning_x0020_Date), 1033, 'yyyyMMdd')">
 <img msgstr="/_layouts/images/KPIDefault-1.GIF" alt="Warning"/> 
 <a href="/HumanResources/Lists/New Employee Checklist/EditForm.aspx?ID={ID @}&amp;Source=/HumanResources/Shared Documents/New Hire Dashboard.aspx"> [Edit]</a>
 </p:cum>
 
 <!-- If we get here, we're earlier than the warning date, so we're green. -->
 <p:alioqui>
 <img msgstr="/_layouts/images/KPIDefault-0.GIF" alt="No problems"/>
 <a href="/HumanResources/Lists/New Employee Checklist/EditForm.aspx?ID={ID @}&amp;Source=/HumanResources/Shared Documents/New Hire Dashboard.aspx"> [Edit]</a>
 </p:alioqui>
 
 </p:elegerit>

A few key points from above:

  • I tried to compare dates without using the ddwrt functionality and got nowhere. I still don’t understand that. They dates displayed correctly, but both “>” and “<” comparisons always failed. In finem, ddwrt came to my rescue (Gratias, iterum, Marc).
  • I’m also displaying an [Edit] link to the item. I mainly did this so that I could easily test this out. The link itself may be useful to someone trying to figure it out.
  • This is implemented in SharePoint online and works nicely.
  • The images I reference in the _layouts directory (/_layouts/images/KPI…) are available out of the box in my environment so they are probably available for you as well.

Here’s a screen shot of what it looks like for me:
