MOSS jgħidlekx Me “Aċċess Denied” Edit Task Workflow, Imma I really do jkollhom aċċess

I’ve implemented a workflow using SharePoint Designer in a site which is mainly read-only to "NT_AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" (I.E. kulħadd). There is a forms library for an InfoPath form. There is an associated workflow tasks list as well so that when the workflow operates, jista jassenjaw il-ħidmiet lil nies.

I break permess għall-librerija forom u l-lista kompitu sabiex kwalunkwe utent awtentikat jistgħu joħolqu forom u taġġorna kompiti assenjati lilhom.

I test with my low-privileges test account.

Nista jimlew u tiffranka formola għal-librerija? –> IVA

Nista 'aċċess għall-kompitu minn link email? –> IVA

Nista tara link Edit kompitu workflow –> IVA

Nista ikklikkja fuq din ir-rabta? –> NO … Permess Denied.

Għaliex nista 'tara link edit li tiċħad me permess meta I ikklikkja fuqha? That’s not how it’s supposed to work…

I jgħaddu mill-konfigurazzjoni mill-ġdid tas-sigurtà, very closely. I do it again. Inqis tħassar din il-kariga minħabba I ovvjament ma jafu xejn dwar is-sigurtà.

Fl-aħħarnett, I search the Internets. I find this highly unlikely MSDN forum thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1838253&SiteID=17

Il-posters jidhru li jissuġġerixxu li l-att sempliċi ta 'jesporta l-fluss tax-xogħol għal platter drive se tiffissa kwistjoni tas-sigurtà MOSS? I can hardly believe I just typed that. I’m reminded of the South Park episode about the 9/11 konspirazzjoni fejn Stan qed titlob Preznit tagħna, "Really?" over and over again.

Allura, xejn x'titlef, I nar up SPD, dritt ikklikkja fuq il-fluss tax-xogħol u tiffranka lill c tiegħi:\ drive. That would be the c:\ drive on my laptop. I’m looking over my shoulder the whole time so that no one will ask me, "why are you saving that workflow to your laptop?"

Oerhört, that solves my problem. I can edit the task.

Jiena hawnhekk jinnomina din l-workaround Workflow aktar stramba ta ' 2007.

SharePoint Designer, Punt attwali “Encoded URL assoluta” u HTTPS

We often want to send an email that includes a hyperlink to the item or document that triggered the workflow. We can use current item’s "Encoded Absolute URL" for this purpose. Madankollu, it always seems to use "http" for the URL protocol. If your site runs on HTTPS then it will not work for you.

immaġni

Safejn naf, there is no out of the box solution to this problem. If you need to use HTTPS, you have no out of the box option.

To solve it, create a custom action that provides a string replace function to use in your workflow. Alternatively, use a 3rd party tool such as the excellent package here: http://www.codeplex.com/spdwfextensions 🙂

Quick u Easy: Iddetermina Intern Kolonna Isem ta 'Kolonna Sit

UPDATE: Jeremy Thake has blogged about this and put up some code for a console application that shows internal names.

I was trying to get a content query web part to display a due date from a task and because the screen label is "Due Date", I jassumi li l-isem kolonna għall-użu fil- <CommonViewFields> is "Due_x0020_Date".

Wrong!

The real column name in this case was "DueDate".

How did I find it? I re-read Heather Solomon’s blog entry on modifying CQWP to show additional columns of data. She describes this process at step #13. Trust it. It’s correct. Mill-inqas, it was correct for me. I did not trust it at first for another column with a much longer name.

I say "Trust it" because I did not trust it and probably wasted near two hours butting my head up against a wall. After I resolved the "DueDate" isem, I wanted to add another field to <CommonViewFields>. Using the Solomon technique, I was getting a column name like "XYZ_x0020_Project_x0020_Due_x00".

I thought to myself, that’s clearly a truncated name. I went ahead and un-truncated it with no success. I finally used the seemingly truncated name and it worked.

Bonus tip: When I was working with the CQWP, if I added a bad internal name to <CommonViewFields>, the CQWP would tell me that the query had returned no results. Iżda, if I added a data type to the field name, it would return a result. Adding the data type actually masked a problem since I was referencing a non-existent field. I could add it, but when I tried to display its value, I would always get a blank.

This did not mask the error:

<CommonViewFields>Due_x0020_Date;</CommonViewfields>

This did mask the error:

<CommonViewFields>Due_x0020_Date,DateTime;</CommonViewfields>

Beware Bidliet Breaking għall ItemStyle.xsl

I kien qed jaħdem mal ItemStyle.xsl biex jippersonalizzaw l-ħarsa ta 'kontenut Web Mistoqsija Parti u d-dritt dwar il-ħin ikla, I made a breaking change to the xsl. I didn’t realize it, but this had far reaching effects throughout the site collection. I went off to lunch and upon my return, ndunat dan il-messaġġ li jidher fil-mazz ta 'postijiet:

Kapaċi li juru din it-Taqsima tal-Web. Biex troubleshoot l-problema, tiftaħ din il-paġna tal-Web fil-Windows Servizzi kompatibbli SharePoint HTML editur bħal Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer. Jekk il-problema tippersisti, ikkuntattja l-amministratur tiegħek Web server.

I ħtija tal-klijent (ma rrealizza li għadu li kien tort tiegħi f'dan il-punt) but eventually noticed that visual studio intellisense was warning me that I had malformed XSL. I corrected it and everything started working.

Ikunu attenti meta darned jaħdmu ma ItemStyle.xsl (u kwalunkwe mill-fajls XSL globali) — jkissruhom taffettwa artifacts ħafna fil-ġbir sit.

Ibni Hacked Gamespot

Allura, dalgħodu, tifel tiegħi huwa determinat li tara Halo ristretta età tlettax 3 video fuq Gamespot. I’m outside shoveling snow, so I’m not there to help or hinder.

Once he realized that, huwa għamel lilu nnifsu qodma biżżejjed biex tara l-video.

IL-ĦADD Funny: “Huwa Stampar Żibel”

Fl-ewwel xogħol tiegħi mill-kulleġġ fl 1991, I kien xxurtjati li taħdem għal kumpanija tal-manifattura ma 13 postijiet, not including its corporate HQ in New Jersey. I joined just when the company was rolling out a new ERP system. We were a small IT department of about ten people altogether, two of whom Did Not Travel. Part of the project involved replacing IBM System 36 boxes with HP hardware and HPUX. Everyone used green tubes to access the system.

The project rolls along and I’m sent down to Baltimore with a new co-worker, Jeff. Our job was to power up the Unix box, make sure the O/S was running, install the ERP system, configure the ERP, train people on the ERP and do custom work for folks on the spot. (This was a dream job, especially coming straight out of college). Before we could really get off the ground, we needed to unpack all the green tubes, put them on desks and wire them. And the best part was that we had to put the RJ11 connectors on ourselves.

For some reason that I never understood and actually never thought to ask about at the time, we had had some contracting company come along and run cable throughout the plant, but we didn’t have them put on the connectors. Allura, there was a "patch box" with dozens of of unlabeled cables in the "computer room" and these snaked around the building to various places in the building.

We worked our way through it over the course of a weekend, testing each wire, putting on a connector (making sure it was straight vs. crossed), ensuring the bit settings on the green tubes and printers were correct, labeling wires, making sure that "getty" was running correctly for each port and probably a thousand other things that I’ve suppressed since then. It all came together quite nicely.

Iżda, there was one important cable that we couldn’t figure out. The plant in Baltimore had a relationship with a warehousing location in New Jersey. Some orders placed in Baltimore shipped out of that location. There were two wires that we had to connect to the HPUX box: a green tube and a printer. The green tube was easy, but the printer turned into a three-week nightmare.

If you don’t know it, or have suppressed it, dealing with green tubes and printers this way, there are various options that you deal with by setting various pins. 8-bit, 7-bit, parity (even/odd/none), probably others. If you get one of those settings wrong, the tube or printer still shows stuff, but it will be total gibberish, or it will be gibberish with a lot of recognizable stuff in between. Of course, these pins are hard to see and have to be set by using a small flat-edge screw driver. And they are never standard.

We set up the first of many quick calls with the NJ guy (a grizzled computer hater who probably curses us to this day). We got the green tube working pretty quickly, but we couldn’t get the printer to work. It kept "printing garbage". We would create a new RJ11 connector, switching between crossed and straight. We would delete the port and re-created in Unix. We went through the arduous task of having him explain to us the pin configuration on the printer, never really sure if he was doing it correctly.

It’s about time to go live, everything in Baltimore is humming, but we can’t get the cursed printer up in NJ to work! We’ve exhausted all possibilities except for driving back up to NJ to work on the printer in person. To avoid all that driving, we finally ask him to fax us what he’s getting when it’s "garbage", hoping that maybe there will be some clue in that garbage that will tell us what we’re doing wrong.

When we got the fax, we immediately knew what was wrong. Ara, our method of testing whether we had configured a printer correctly was to issue an "lp" command like this:

lp /etc/passwd

Bażikament, we printed out the unix password file. It’s always present and out of the box, always just one page. You standard Unix password file looks something like this:

smith:*:100:100:8A-74(uffiċċju):/home/smith:/usr/bin/sh
guest:*:200:0::/home/guest:/usr/bin/sh  

We had been printing out the password file over and over again for several weeks and it was printing correctly. Madankollu, to the end user, it was "printing garbage".

Énième Network Kredenzjali Ħruġ Multi-Isfida u Soluzzjoni

My client recently installed a magic device from Juniper that apparently replaced their old Cisco network load balancer (NLB). At about the same time, we installed a hotfix to address a workflow problem.

A day or two later, we noticed a problem when we accessed the shared service provider (SSP). We could get to it, but we would be challenged for a user ID and password many times on each page. This didn’t happen with the main portal app, nor central administration. Naturally, we didn’t know which of the two (Juniper or hotfix) would be the issue, though I strongly suspected the hotfix, figuring we had not installed it quite right.

It turned out that Juniper had some kind of compression setting. Wieħed mill- robed figures over in the network group turned that setting off. That solved our problem.

This is not the first time that compression has been the root cause of a SharePoint problem for me. IIS compression adversely affected a 3rd party tool from the good people at The Dot Net Factory for IE 6 browsers (IE 7 browsers worked without difficulty).

Allura, add "compression" to the hazards list.

Thinking About Nibdlu Pjattaforma Blogging

I started off my "blogging career" using Microsoft’s platform and it’s been good to me. It’s easy to post, there are good options and widgets for managing your "space", ħażna web deċenti u oħrajn.

Madankollu, I really just fell into the MS solution with almost no planning. That alone calls for me to evaluate where I am and where I’m going, in terms of a blogging platform. There are also two important limitations that bother me right now vis-à-vis Windows Live Spaces.

Ewwel, I can’t get very good statistics. There are stats but the detail is often truncated and not presented in a way that allows for any kind of analysis. There no sorting or export capability. I get many blog ideas based on the kind of information people find (jew speċjalment jonqsu milli jsibu) when they search my blog. It’s very hard to use lives spaces for that.

Tieni, there does not seem to be any mechanism to "monetize" a windows live space blog. Fil-fatt, sabiex jeħles ta 'reklami SM (minn fejn I jieħdu ebda vantaġġ), I need to actually pay Microsoft. (Mill-inqas, li kif I jifhimha; I ma setgħux jiksbu tweġibiet definittivi għal dan u mistoqsijiet bhalu).

Issa li stajt ltqajna mudell stabbilit u sett ta 'drawwiet blogging, I want to evaluate other options. I’ve done some research and there are a lot of choices, imma jien kurjużi dwar liema nies oħra, partikolarment oħrajn fil-komunità SharePoint (kif bloggers jew qarrejja), like to use.

Jekk dan jinteressak suġġett li inti u inti għandek opinjoni jew huma lesti li jaqsmu l-esperjenza tiegħek, jekk jogħġbok leave kumment jew email lili direttament.

Grazzi!

SharePoint Designer Email Jibgħat ???? fi Email

Forum users occasionally ask: Why does SharePoint Designer put ???? into my email instead of a field value?

One reason this happens is because the variable to which you refer is null.

This can happen because you are trying to reference a field from the "current item" but the user never entered a value into that form field.

Qabbel / Testijiet għal Dati Blank fl SharePoint Designer Workflow

Xenarju: Fil Designer SharePoint workflow, you need to determine if a date field is blank.

Problema: SPD does not provide a direct method for comparing dates to anything other than a date. You cannot create a condition like this: "If [Data Field] equals blank".

Soluzzjoni: Convert the date to a string. Use string comparison to determine if the date is blank.

The following screen shots show how to do this. In this scenario, qasam fuq oġġett, "Environmental Permits:First Permit Reminder Date", tiġi sottomessa u n-nirien workflow b'rispons.

Noti:

Meta I ppruvaw dan, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it works. I was worried that SharePoint Designer might disallow the string assignment (Varjabbli:StringReminderDateDate) iżda hija ma jippermettu.

I kien ukoll imħasseb li jippermetti li, il-valur jista 'jkun null u jew blow up il WF fil runtime jew forsi tgħolli t-temperatura globali 1/2 grad, iżda dawn il-preokkupazzjonijiet kienu infondati.
