1 Одговор

СхареПоинт Продавница разговор наставља у четвртак 12:30 ЕДТ да 1:30ЕДТ. 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, Наталија Воскресенскаа, Хари Џонс и ја.
  • Any SharePoint question is fair game.
  • Send or ask questions:
    • By email: инфо@арцовис.цом
    • 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).
    • На крају, 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!

Интернет Екплорер 8 Црасхинг // 64 битни оперативни системи

Оставите одговор

Коментар од Боб Фок (преко Твиттер, @bfox11b) подсетио ме да сам мислио да баци заједно брз унос блога описује проблем и мој решење за Интернет Екплорер пада на мене све време.

Пре неколико месеци, Имам нови лаптоп (Делл Востро 1720). This is my first 64 битни машина и трчим 64 bit IE8. Over time, је почео да пада непредвидиво, али често (Вероватно сваки дан). It’s pretty agile at recovering from all that, but it was a real nuisance.

Проблем је изгледа био адобе плугин, “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 битном окружењу (* што је потпуно разумно *; Није као 64 Мало је врста ствари које никоме осим *** *** луд компаније желе да подрже или било шта). I tried to uninstall it but that experiment only lasted about 15 записник. It turns out that a ridiculous number of sites are using flash tech (Можда сам ја последњи да се то оствари на планети). Тако, Не могу да живим без њега, а ја не могу да користе ИЕ8 64 бит.

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

Настављамо СхареПоинт Продавница сутра разговарати на 12:30 ЕДТ. Као и обично, да ли постоје неке теме или питања која желите веће за решавање, пошаљите их на инфо@арцовис.цом.

Ове недеље смо цртеж неколико питања из ввв.ендусерсхарепоинт.цом Пањ Комисија блог:

  • "Разумем да родитељ и дете сајт сајт не могу да комуницирају. На пример, Ја бих да било гура податке из листе у дете локацији на листи матичног сајта или имате сајт родитељ повући податке од деце сајта. Да ли постоји начин да дизајн ток посла да оствари имају податке који се шаљу за извукао из листе у родитељ / дете везу сајту?"
  • "На мом невформ.аспк за моје главне листе, Имам проналажење колону која указује на наслов колоне у мом списку запослених.

    На списку запослених, there is another column that is a checkbox named ‘active’.

    Оно што бих желео да се деси је на невформ главне листе, када кликнете на падајући само приказује записе са листе радника који су означени активни.

    Да ли постоји начин да филтрирате падајући на невформ.аспк у маинлист је тако да приказује само оне означене активан?"

  • "Знам да је једноставан, али, за живот од мене не могу добити то за посао! Имамо дискусиону таблу која смо изградили у поље датума истека позива.

СхареПоинт Он Лине // БПОС - Неки руке на искуство

Оставите одговор

(Приметити: овај чланак је унакрсно постед овде: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1912)

Ажурирање 09/01/09: На основу повратних информација твиттер, 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 (БПОС). This came along before I even hard a firm plan to set out on my own at Арцовис. I immediately saw, међутим, that BPOS could be a key part of my company’s internal infrastructure and over time, it has become exactly that. Арцовис, 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.

Као што реч "пакет" у БПОС подразумева, добијате мали свежањ апликација:

  • Размена
  • Ливе Меетинг
  • Цоммуницатор
  • СхареПоинт

Можете купити сваки од њих појединачно, Верујем. It’s all spelled out relatively clearly on the Мицрософт Онлине сајт. You may be able to get better deals through MSFT partners. Arcovis has been working with Цлоуд Стратегије и изгледа да знају своје ствари, тако да бих их укључити у листи продаваца ако радите са више добављача претраге.

Укратко дајем моје искуство и мисли за сваки од њих, односно.

Размена

This is a hosted exchange environment and from my perspective, 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 (which is huge). Good stuff.

It also provides the Outlook Web Access (OWA) interface. That means I can get my email on any machine that has a web browser.

My HTC mobile phone, running Windows Mobile 6.1(?) connected to it nicely via Active Sync. It did this in exactly the way I expected and wanted.

I don’t consider myself much more than a casual outlook and exchange user so there may be really important Exchange features that just aren’t supported and I wouldn’t necessarily know it.

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. Заправо, this is better because it simply works.

Bottom line – hosted exchange is what it needs to be and I’m very happy with it.

Ливе Меетинг

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, to watch them break my solutions so that I know how to fix them, do sales presentations, итд. 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. Међутим, for my purposes, it’s great.

Цоммуницатор

Досада, 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, my colleagues know when I’m available, what my schedule is like at this moment, and can IM me (though the IM interface is pretty dull, at best). 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, assigned a task, итд. 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.

СхареПоинт

My favorite bit, наравно, 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:

  • Marketing information
  • Sales (proposals, lead tracking) –> we do plan to invest in a CRM solution but for now, SharePoint is working out as our CRM solution.
  • Partner and customer contacts
  • Претражи
  • Client project information
  • Billing (mainly for storing our invoices)
  • Discussions
  • Prototyping solutions
  • Building out demonstration sites (e.g. new hire management HR process)
  • Time sheets
  • Document collaboration

У основи, all the stuff you’d expect to use SharePoint for.

Along the way, we use technical features like:

  • Alerts
  • СхареПоинт Десигнер
    • Workflows
    • Branding
  • Content types
  • ЦКВП
  • Document libraries with version control
  • Custom lists for all kinds of things (like our time sheets)
  • јКуери (and all the goodness that can come from that, including AJAX calls to SharePoint web services)

What can’t I do with it? There are a bunch of things that would be nice:

  • I cannot provide anonymous access. Заправо, i don’t think I can do that for any price. I could be wrong, or hopefully MSFT will change this in future.
  • No InfoPath of any kind.
    • This has the slightly strange side effect of blocking a few standard MOSS workflows that rely on InfoPath.
  • No server side code. That means, између осталог:
    • No event receivers
    • No custom SharePoint designer actions
    • No custom field types
    • No proper SDLC (и.е. 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.

      Ease of Use

      Microsoft provides a nifty desktop application that enables quick and easy access to all of the BPOS functions:

      image

      You don’t need to use it, but eliminates the need to log into each of the applications separately and for live meeting, It’s quite nice because you can do a “meet now” session with just 2 clicks (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. Међутим, I see value there and you can accept on faith (или не) 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.

      Conclusion

      BPOS is an insanely feature rich platform. Размена, СхареПоинт (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.

      СхареПоинт - Шта је то добро за? Здравствена заштита мини Студија случаја

      Оставите одговор

      [Приметити: Овај блог пост је крст постављен на сајту Марка Милера овде: хттп://ввв.ендусерсхарепоинт.цом/?п = 1897]

      Један од Моја фирма је више необичних клијената је Њујорк лекар који је лидер у свом одређеној области медицине (око очију). 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, али верујем да У.С. government is probably the largest source of funding. Као и било шта, resources are scarce. Many doctors across the country want to perform research and trials. Као резултат тога, 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, затим, sign up for a particular study. The relationships look like this:

      • Један мајстор организација.
      • Много различитих лекара пракса пријавите са главном организацијом.
      • The master organization obtains funding for individual studies. At the outset, постоји само једна студија на одређеном ретке болести ока, иако ми већ појачава на другој студији.
      • Individual doctors’ practices sign up for specific studies. A specific practice could sign up for one or multiple studies.

      Мајстор сама организација је подељен у групе:

      • Извршни одбор
      • Управни одбор
      • Појединачни студија одбори
      • Администрација
      • други

      Коначно, када одређени лекарским ординацијама се пријави за учешће у студији, они треба да обезбеде стручњаке да испуне различите улоге:

      • Истражитељи (укључујући и главни истражитељ, нормално лекар, заједно са једним или више додатних истражитеља)
      • Координатори
      • Техничари
      • Грантови администратори
      • други

      The above roles have very specific and highly proscribed roles that vary by study. I won’t get into more detail here, али ако сте заинтересовани, или оставите коментар пошаљи ми.

      И сада могу да одговорим на питање, СхареПоинт - Шта је то добро за? The answer – it’s really good for this scenario.

      Овај увод је већ дуже него што сам очекивао, тако да ћу сумирати виталну улогу коју игра у СхареПоинт решења и зароните у детаље у наредном чланку (ако не може да чека, пошаљи ми или оставите коментар и ја ћу бити срећан да разговарају и можда чак и покушати да уради демонстрацију). We are leveraging a wide array of SharePoint features to support this concept:

      • Сајтови за одборима, појединачне улоге (координатор сајтови, истраживач сајтови, итд).
      • Сигурност да се уверите да се различити поступци не видим податке других пракси '.
      • InfoPath forms services for online form entry. This is a particularly big win. Нормално, ови тешки облици су штампани, поштом на праксу, filled out and mailed back. The advantages to the online forms are obvious. They do introduce some complexities (лиценцирање и људски) али то је друга прича.
      • Од делова оквира веб, као најава (Када се одбор [к] срести?) и испуњавању радних места.
      • Обрасци потврда идентитета заснована на комбинацији са ЦодеПлек алат да обезбеди само-регистрације и лозинке заборавити функције.
      • Прилагођене листе и приказима листи за видљивост у образовне активности које једноставно нису могуће са чистог папира и оловку приступима.

      Са изузетком потврда идентитета заснована на обрасцима модула и прегршт ИнфоПатх образаца, Овај пројекат користи скоро све из кутије функционалности СхареПоинт.

      Пре него што завршим ову мин-студију случаја, Желим да истакнем нешто веома важно - не бави на овом пројекту (поред моје фирме, наравно) 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, али уради праву, that’s irrelevant to end users. They need a problem solved, није дивно грудвица технологије.

      Оставите одговор

      Уместо СхареПоинт продавница Талк седници у четвртак, my partners and I at Арцовис are teaming up with Цлоуд Стратегије и Интегрисани системи и услуге Група to give what I hope will be an interesting presentation on Microsoft’s online services, фокусирајући се на пословне продуктивности Онлине Суите (БПОС). 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. Заправо, the demo itself is running in our very own BPOS environment.

      Можете да 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

      I’ll be giving the live demo and I think it should be interesting in its own right, divorced of the whole cloud / online thing. I’m going to describe a very common business process, the famous New Hire / On-boarding process. I’ll demonstrate a solution that uses SharePoint to implement that process. The demo will include notifications, a dashboard and just generally cool visibility to what’s going on with new hires.

      I’ve personally implemented this solution for three separate companies, 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 🙂

      Тако, if you’ve had any interest in cloud computing from a very practical SharePoint point of view, this webinar is just what you need to do this Thursday 🙂

      2 Одговори

      We held our 3rd SharePoint Shop Talk session yesterday. Twenty-five folk braved the overly aggressive registration screen (радимо на томе!) 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, мало садржаја распоређивања, верзија веб делова на издавачким страницама (Постоји заиста није било Верзионисање за веб делова), најбоље праксе за успостављање безбедности (ансвер = "зависи", и имајте на уму Јорис 'пост овде: http://jopx.blogspot.com/2009/08/sharepoint-and-2000-principal-limit.html) и аналитика (што је довело до промовисање Тодд Клиндт на пост овде о ЛогПарсер и СхареПоинт: 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, можемо да залута ван на непаран тангенте или два, али на крају, 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 (заправо, она може имати много опција у неким случајевима).

      Следеће недеље, моје колеге и ја у Арцовис заједнички представљају Вебинар са двојицом наших партнера, Интегрисани системи и услуге Група и Цлоуд Стратегије about Microsoft Online services. I think it’s going to be very informative. Our role (Арцовис) 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.

      То вебинар вероватно значи да ми неће бити одржавање Продавница сесија разговора следеће недеље, али стално тунед 🙂 Ако ми га, неће бити у четвртак.

      Још једном, моја захвалност иде панелу: Хари Јонес, Natalya Voskresenskaya and Laura Rogers. Хвала, момци!

      We held our second “SharePoint Shop Talk” session yesterday and it was a lot of fun. We had fewer attendees this time (углавном због тога што наш партнер, ИССГ, не шаљу велики позивате е њихове базе клијената). С друге стране, we had probably more than twice as many questions to answer. We had so many, заправо, that we couldn’t get to all of them, 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, setting user region specific information programmatically, SharePoint designer workflows, crazy infrastructure question about Kerberos (that was probably a plant by Bob Fox) and jQuery. Нажалост, no banjo jokes, међутим. Sigh…

      We’ve registered the site, www.sharepointshoptalk.com and we want start using that to do all the usual things, like announce the schedule of calls, put up the recordings of the sessions and the questions/answers themselves. (don’t bother clicking the link as there isn’t any content there as yet).

      On yesterday’s call, we had the original expert panel which included my Arcovis partners (Наталија Воскресенскаа и Хари Јонес). We added Лаура Рогерс од ЕУСП.цом (и другде) слава. To top it all off, SharePoint MVP Бил Симсер joined the call and we roped him into the discussion. Bil even dusted off an old blog entry and updated it in response to one of the questions.

      If you’re interesting in participating as an “official” panel member, испали емаил инфо@арцовис.цом and let us know (I promise that that email address now works!) or DM me, Наталија или Хари преко Твиттер.

      Thanks Bil and 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.

      ИнфоПатх // Једно објашњење за "унхандлед изузетак када се доноси обрасца Систем.Ксмл.КсмлЕкцептион: Неочекивани крај датотеке приликом анализе Име је дошло. "

      Оставите одговор

      Радио сам на ИнфПатх обрасцу данас и водио се против старог пријатеља, "Унхандлед изузетак када се доноси обрасца Систем.Ксмл.КсмлЕкцептион: Неочекивани крај датотеке приликом анализе Име је дошло. "

      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.

      У мом случају, 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.
