Bl-użu MSDN (u oħrajn) Forums għas-Sostenn SharePoint

4 tweġibiet

I tista 'tikteb fuq fit-tul kbir dwar forums MSDN, etikett, ismijiet konvenzjonijiet, tfittxija, eċċ. I may do that, fil-fatt. I wanted to point out a small thing which may help people have a better overall experience.

Stajt ġiet dan l-aħħar tinforma lin-nies li jekk inti tmexxi fis xi tip ta 'problema ma l-ambjent SharePoint tiegħek, proġett ta 'żvilupp jew attività oħra relatata SharePoint, 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, Jien tagħmel bidliet reġistru ma 'kodiċi "/ foo / bar / almostThere / isThisIt / noThisIsNotIt / iCantBelieveIAmDoingThis / finallyThere!"Fuq il-parir ta 'blog tinstab fuq paġna 8 of a Google search. When that doesn’t work, I finalment post kwistjoni għall MSDN (e.g. hawn: 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:

  • Huwa ħieles lilek xorta.
  • M'hemm l-ebda SLA garantit (li jien konxju, inqas).
  • Għalhekk, hija tista 'tieħu żmien twil għall-persuni li jirrispondu.
  • Nies spiss do jirrispondu eventwalment.
  • Jekk int stenna sakemm 2 jew 3 jum wara l-ewwel problema asfaltati, int frantic għal rispons u forums mhumiex post tajjeb għall-għajnuna ta 'emerġenza (sakemm int xortik tajba).

Allura, bażikament, huwa faċli u ħieles u inti għandek xi sparatura tajba fil jkollna xi tip ta 'tweġiba, iżda se tieħu filwaqt li tikseb din ir-risposta (darb'oħra, sakemm int xortik tajba).

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, imma jien ma (inqas, I ma jħossux li mod aktar). 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.

Nota Żgħar About Microsoft Online Servizzi passwords u l-Amministrazzjoni

Ħalli Risposta

I bdiet taħdem mal-Microsoft Small Business Produttività Online Suite diversi xhur ilu, but now I have some better reason to be using it.

Jien għadhom jaħdmu tiegħi mod madwaru, so I tista 'tkun jkollna xi wħud mill-ħażin terminoloġija, imma bażikament hemm żewġ interfaces ewlenin: iċ-ċentru amministrazzjoni u s-servizzi nfushom.

Is-sistema kienet javżak me li kelli għall-bidla password tiegħi, so I went ahead and did that. That allowed me to proceed and work with the services part (SharePoint, email, u laqgħa live). Madankollu, meta I marru għall-iskrin amministrazzjoni, ma let me fl minn me javżak li ma kinitx taħseb password tiegħi kienet korretta.

The behavior was a little odd. If I entered the password I *thought* it should be, it would blank out the userid and the password and tell me the password or userid was incorrect. If I entered a blatantly wrong password, ikun tell me-istess, iżda jżomm l-qasam ID utent intatt.

Stajt ġiet playing madwar ma 'dan għal ftit ftit u finalment imsejħa (iva, fuq Ħadd filgħodu). Oerhört, sħabi, Ben, answered the phone right away. U, I ma jkollhom jidħlu karta ta 'kreditu.

Long storja qasira, the administration center password uses different password rules than the services password. Admin password must contain alpha, numeric and special characters. When I changed my admin password the first time, I ma segwiex dik ir-regola (lanqas ma twissi lili!). I was able to change it to a valid administration password and got back in.

Jekk ikollok dak it-tip ta 'problema fil-futur, inti taf dak li ħadem għalija u wieħed jittama li se jaħdmu għalik.

SharePoint bħala Operating System Business

2 tweġibiet

Minn mindu Smajt kwotazzjoni, Allegatament matul Q&A sessjoni ma Steve Ballmer Marzu 2007, I’ve sort of been holding my breath for something to happen. The quote was basically this: “SharePoint is an operating system for business applications.” Knowing a fair bit about SharePoint and a middling bit about operating systems, I thought it was really apt. I’m holding my breath, waiting for companies to really buy into that concept and start to build applications within the SharePoint “operating system.”

Stajt ddedikat ħafna tal-ħsieb li dan is-suġġett din is-sena (tmur lura għall tiegħi 2009 tbassir) u jien ser jitkellmu dwar dan fil- Mejju 2 SharePoint is-Sibt avveniment f'Washington.

Dan huwa astratt preżentazzjoni tiegħi, intitolat "L-użu tal-Pjattaforma SharePoint biex jibnu l-applikazzjonijiet tan-Negozju Vertikali":

"Orizzontali?"" Vertikali?"What do dawn il-kliem jfisser f'kuntest SharePoint? SharePoint, kif spiss nisimgħu, huwa "pjattaforma" għall-applikazzjonijiet tal-bini. Dan il-fatt huwa spiss mitlufa fuq magħna mill-hekk imsejħa karatteristiċi pjattaforma orizzontali, bħall-ġestjoni tad-dokumenti u tfittxija, are so easy and useful in and of themselves. Madankollu, SharePoint huwa saħansitra aktar qawwija u se terġa 'lura aktar valur meta wżati biex joħolqu applikazzjonijiet vertikali imfassla biex jilħqu jum tan-negozju tiegħek "għall-ħtiġijiet kuljum. Din is-sessjoni jiddeskrivi kif jistgħu jinġabru karatteristiċi pjattaforma f'soluzzjoni verticalized tuża eżempju reali negozju dinja - proċess ta 'ġestjoni kwotazzjoni bejgħ u gateway klijent. Għan tal-kelliem huwa li tiftaħ għajnejn tiegħek għall-possibbiltajiet tal-pjattaforma SharePoint u li jwieżen karatteristiċi tiegħu pjattaforma orizzontali li toħloq soluzzjonijiet negozju speċjalizzati għall-organizzazzjoni vertikali tiegħek.

Jekk dan is-suġġett ma float dgħajsa tiegħek, there are a bunch of other good topics. And DC is a great venue in and of itself to visit.

Reġistrazzjoni jiftaħ dan il-Ħamis, 04/16. Keep on top of the site and grab a seat before it’s too late 🙂

Minuti Kanadiżi

Din id-darba aħħar ġimgħa, I kien f'Montreal, jattendu l rakkomandat ħafna Summit SharePoint 2009. I gave a 3.5 hour tutorial on installing and customizing SharePoint. It was a scary subject on many levels. I’m not really a SharePoint admin, imma naf biżżejjed biex jagħti tutorja dwar is-suġġett. (Thankfully, Geoff Schaller minn Għanijiet Software fl-Awstralja, fost ftit oħrajn, kien fil-folla li tirrispondi għal ċerti mistoqsijiet fil-fond [I do not know dak li jitniżżlu fil-baħar stabbiliti hemmhekk, imma għandna bżonn xi wħud hawn fl-Istati Uniti]).

Iżda, back to many levels of scariness… It had a lot of potential to be very boring. I actually installed WSS and then upgraded it to MOSS. In front of a room full of people. Canadian poeple. There were long 5 u 7 minute gaps where we were watching the installation process chug along. I needed to fill that time with something useful and interesting. I’m not sure I succeeded.

Fl-aħħarnett, it was loooong. Three and one half hours. That’s a long presentation. I made a little joke of it, saying “We have a long presentation ahead of us. Three and one half hours. That’s 210 minuti. And I don’t even know how many minutes that is in Canadian.”

Kulħadd laughed u bħala riżultat, Montreal is officially on my Good Places list 🙂

Anki li kieku ma laughed Joke tiegħi, I would love Montreal. I try very hard to be open minded and not take my cues from South Park, imma jien nammetti, li chagrin tiegħi, that I had no idea how great is the metropolis of Montreal. I can’t wait to go back in a few months, meta huwa ftit aktar sħan, li jżuru mill-ġdid.

Fuq tip ta 'nota relatata, I sib ukoll permezz Erik Swenson ta ewwel preżentazzjoni pubblika intitolata "IA u Branding Proċess: Skeċċijiet għal wireframes lil Disinni Hi-fedeltà. " (Erik huwa EMC kollega tiegħi). Check out the abstract here: http://www.sharepointsummit2009.com/conference_day2.htm. I anke rreġistrati lilha għall għalih. I tried several times for some “action shots” and zoomed in on him when he paused to drink some water. I didn’t always succeed, but I tried 🙂

Pjaċir Fact SharePoint SSO tal-Jum

1 Irrispondi

I’ve been working with SharePoint SSO and learning as I go. One way in which this works is that you tell SharePoint about external applications. Users log into that application via some SharePoint function (e.g. parti web iView). The first time the user performs this action, it prompts them for the correct user id and password to use for that system. It’s setting up a mapping between your SharePoint credentials and your credentials for that backend system. Thereafter, l-utent mhux se jkollhom jidħlu ID tagħhom meta hit up dik is-sistema.

That part worked well for me. Madankollu, dan iqajjem il-kwistjoni, "Kif ma l-utent bidla li id ​​l-utent jew il-password?” The user might have made a mistake, jew forsi inti qed tagħmel xi testijiet f'ambjent DEV u jeħtieġ li jaqilbu malajr bejn il-kontijiet.

I do not know-risposta għal din, imma jien taf li inti tista 'tmur fil Amministrazzjoni Ċentrali u jamministraw kredenzjali tal-utent:

Ċentrali Amministrazzjoni -> Operazzjonijiet -> Manage Uniku Sign-On -> Manage Kont Informazzjoni għal applikazzjoni Definizzjoni Intrapriża

Minn hemm, inti tista 'tispeċifika l-applikazzjoni esterna (e.g. SAP) and the account you want to delete. You can also change the mapping.

Jekk inti taf kif jippermettu lill-utenti finali biex jinbidlu direttament kredenzjali tagħhom, kindly post a comment 🙂

Avventuri Bil iView Web Parts

Ħalli Risposta

I needed to do some minimal proving today that iView web parts can work in my client’s environment. I’ve never worked with this slice of SharePoint before.

Microsoft ħolqot karta bajda kwalità għolja ħafna fuq dan is-suġġett.

L-ewwel ostaklu kelli biex jingħelbu kien - fejn hija l-parti web iView? Għal xi raġuni, ewwel ħsieb tiegħi kienet li I d jkollhom li tniżżel minn sit x'imkien, perhaps SAP’s site. Kelli 1/2 convinced myself that iView web parts might even cost extra. Of course, huma inklużi ma MOSS (I think Enterprise; dan huwa dak li jien jużaw hawn fi kwalunkwe każ). I’ve seen the standard “add a web part” dialog box hundreds or more times and always glossed over it. No more!

The next obstacle is that I can’t read instructions.

I kienet qed tuża l-parti web u miżmuma jkollna dan il-messaġġ annoying:

No SAP servers are configured for this site. Contact your administrator to configure trusted SAP servers.

Il-white paper jgħid b'mod ċar li jeditjaw fajl konfigurazzjoni li jinsabu fil-fajl "<Drive Ittra:>\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\Config\TrustedSAPHosts.config”. The first dozen times I looked at that, kollha rajt kien "Program Files ... konfigurazzjoni" u I marru minnufih lill- 12 doqqajs. Once I finally slowed down to read it, I realized my mistake and it was easy to fix.

I continued on my merry way with SSO configuration. It’s not all at clear to me if that worked, iżda li storja oħra għal jum ieħor.

Bottom line:

1. web partijiet iView huma inklużi barra mill-kaxxa ma SharePoint (probabbilment Enterprise).

2. Il-fajl konfigurazzjoni magic, "TrustedSAPHosts.config", ma jgħix fil- 12 doqqajs.

MOSS Profil Utent bħala l-Awtorità għall-preferenza Lingwa User

4 tweġibiet

Fuq il-proġett kurrenti tiegħi, xi wħud mill-utenti ser jivvjaġġaw madwar id-dinja u meta jaslu fid-destinazzjonijiet differenti, use whatever machine is handy at the time. Those guest machines will be running Windows and installed and configured for the local locale. (Stajt biss induna li l-magni mistieden jista 'ma jkollhomx il-lingwa pakketti dritt… probabbilment mhux se, fil-fatt… Jien ipparkjar li wieħed għal issa).

SharePoint needs to provide a mechanism whereby the user can pick their preferred language and then have MOSS honor that language regardless of how the user accesses MOSS. In other words, disregard whatever the browser tells IIS/MOSS and instead look up that preferred language and use it.

Aħna ser tinvestiga żewġ approċċi:

  1. Handler HTTP: A handler HTTP custom installat fuq IIS se tħares up profil MOSS-utent, insemmu l-lingwa preferita u mbagħad jaqilbu l-header HTTP madwar kif meħtieġ qabel ma jgħaddu kontroll biex MOSS.
  2. global.asax: Modify global.asax to do the same thing. We may modify something else, but the idea is that we find some place where we can insert our locale-switching logic.

Il-fattur ieħor komplikat huwa li għandna bżonn sabiex l-utenti 60k, dwar 1,000 tagħhom jista 'jkun aċċess simultanjament MOSS b'tagħbija massima.

Il-handler HTTP jidher pjuttost drastiku, but possibly the best place to put the code since it’s at the IIS level and all-knowing. It’s a good single point of work.

Aħna qed jegħleb lejn approċċ tip global.asax, prinċipalment għaliex aħna nemmnu aħna ser ikollhom aktar għażliet għall-caching data f'dak il-punt.

I ser tkun blogging aktar fuq dan is-suġġett bħala I jitgħallmu aktar.

Jekk għandek tkun taf xejn dwar dan, please post a comment 🙂

Napprofittaw “mailto:” Metrics

5 tweġibiet

I’m on a project where we need to collect metrics around a function named "Share a Story." The idea is very simple — jekk int tħares lejn artiklu interessanti fuq l-intranet u jridu jaqsmu ma 'xi ħadd, click a link labeled "Share this story" email lill buddy tiegħek.

Aħna lagħbu madwar ma 'formola tad-dwana għal dan il-għan, imma fl-aħħar, sens komun rebaħ il-jum u aħna biss jużaw il-familjari <a href = mailto:…> technique. (<a href mailto:…> huwa ftit sorprendentement robusta ta 'HTML; bħala bonus, dik ir-rabta jwassalni lura għall qodma UNIX tiegħi bniedem jiem paġni; dawk kienu l-jiem!).

Din it-teknika jipprovdi interface kbir għall-utenti finali peress li dawn jiksbu l-użu familjari MS Outlook klijent tagħhom (jew kwalunkwe klijent email li jkunu installati).

Hija tagħmel affarijiet aktar diffiċli fuqna tipi iżviluppatur foqra minħabba li klijent * ukoll * trid tmexxi rapport fil-futur li turi kif spiss stejjer sehem utenti u anke li l-istejjer huma maqsuma aktar spiss.

We whiteboarded a few potential solutions. My favorite is to carbon copy (CC) a SharePoint list. That way, the end user still gets the outlook client while we get to capture the event because we’ll get a copy of the email ourselves. There are some obvious drawbacks. The main problem is that the user could simply blank out or otherwise mangle the CC address. U, we need to manage that event library of emails. We have a scheduled job on the white board responsible for that cleanup.

Jekk għandek xi approċċ għaqlija biex isolvi din il-problema, jekk jogħġbok do tell.

NYC SharePoint Developers Group – Talk Tech Deep

2 tweġibiet

Ftit ġimgħat ilu, I presented at the New York City SharePoint Developers Group meeting at the Microsoft office in Manhattan. They meet every last Tuesday of the month.

I’ve been spending most of my time lately in my beloved New Jersey so I don’t get to go into the city as much as I like. Bħala riżultat, I think I made it to the first or second of this group’s meetings and then again at January’s meeting. I missed all of the meetings in between (four or five of them probably). It’s a new group.

I was really struck by the truly technical focus and high quality of the discussion, before, during and after my presentation. We talked about a wide range of subjects relating to SharePoint and other Microsoft technology.

If you’re looking for a friendly place to get real techy, I highly recommend this group.
