Kutumia MSDN (na nyingine) Vikao kwa Support SharePoint

Mimi naweza kuandika juu kwa kirefu kuhusu MSDN vikao, etiquette, kumtaja mikataba, kutafuta, nk. I may do that, kwa kweli. I wanted to point out a small thing which may help people have a better overall experience.

Nimekuwa siku za hivi karibuni imekuwa kuwaambia watu kwamba kama wewe kukimbia katika baadhi ya aina ya tatizo na SharePoint mazingira yako, maendeleo ya mradi au nyingine SharePoint kuhusiana shughuli, 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, Mimi nina kufanya mabadiliko ya Usajili wa ufunguo "/ foo / bar / almostThere / isThisIt / noThisIsNotIt / iCantBelieveIAmDoingThis / finallyThere!"Kwa ushauri wa blog kupatikana katika ukurasa 8 of a Google search. When that doesn’t work, Mimi hatimaye baada ya swali kwa MSDN (e.g. hapa: 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:

  • Ni bure na wewe anyway.
  • Hakuna uhakika SLA (ambayo mimi nina kufahamu, angalau).
  • Kwa hiyo, inaweza kuchukua muda mrefu kwa ajili ya watu wa kujibu.
  • Watu mara nyingi wala kujibu hatimaye.
  • Kama kusubiri mpaka 2 au 3 siku baada ya tatizo kwanza zilisikika, wewe ni hofu kwa ajili ya kukabiliana na vikao ni si sehemu nzuri kwa ajili ya msaada wa dharura (isipokuwa wewe ni bahati).

Hivyo, kimsingi, ni rahisi na bure na una risasi nzuri katika kupata aina fulani ya jibu, lakini itachukua muda kupata jibu (tena, isipokuwa wewe ni bahati).

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, lakini mimi si (angalau, Mimi wala kuhisi kwamba njia yoyote zaidi). 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.

Ndogo Kumbuka Kuhusu Microsoft Online Nywila Huduma na Utawala

Nilianza kufanya kazi na Small Microsoft Suite Biashara Tija Online miezi kadhaa iliyopita, but now I have some better reason to be using it.

Mimi bado njia ya kazi yangu ya kuzunguka, hivyo mimi inaweza kuwa kupata baadhi ya makosa ya istilahi, lakini kimsingi kuna aina mbili kuu interfaces: kituo cha utawala na huduma za wenyewe.

mfumo alikuwa akiniambia kwamba mimi alikuwa na mabadiliko ya password yangu, so I went ahead and did that. That allowed me to proceed and work with the services part (SharePoint, email, na kuishi mkutano). Hata hivyo, wakati mimi akaenda screen utawala, itakuwa si basi mimi katika, kwa kuniambia kuwa hawakuamini password yangu ilikuwa sahihi.

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, ingekuwa uniambie huo, lakini kushika user ID shamba intact.

Nimekuwa kucheza karibu na hii kwa muda kidogo na hatimaye kuitwa (ndiyo, Jumapili asubuhi). Incredibly, wenzake, Ben, answered the phone right away. Na, Sikuwa na kuingia kadi ya mikopo.

Muda mrefu hadithi fupi, 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, Mimi hawakufuata kwamba utawala (wala alifanya hivyo kuonya mimi!). I was able to change it to a valid administration password and got back in.

Kama uzoefu kwamba aina ya tatizo katika siku zijazo, unajua nini kazi kwa ajili yangu na hopefully itakuwa kazi kwa wewe.

SharePoint kama Operating System Biashara

Tangu nikasikia quote, zimeripotiwa wakati Q&kikao cha pamoja na Steve Ballmer Machi 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.”

Nimekuwa kujitoa mengi ya mawazo kwa somo hili mwaka huu (kwenda nyuma yangu 2009 utabiri) na mimi nina kwenda kuzungumza juu ya hili katika Mei 2 SharePoint Jumamosi tukio mjini Washington.

Hii ni abstract mada yangu, haki "Kutumia jukwaa SharePoint Kujenga Maombi Biashara Wima":

"Horizontal?"" Wima?"Ni nini maana ya maneno haya katika mazingira SharePoint? SharePoint, kama sisi mara nyingi kusikia, ni "jukwaa" kwa ajili ya maombi ya jengo. Kweli hii ni mara nyingi kupotea juu yetu tangu makala kinachojulikana usawa jukwaa, kama vile hati ya usimamizi na kutafuta, are so easy and useful in and of themselves. Hata hivyo, SharePoint ni hata nguvu zaidi na kurudi zaidi thamani wakati kutumika kujenga maombi wima kulengwa ili kukidhi siku ya biashara yako 'na mahitaji ya siku. Kikao hiki inaelezea jinsi ya kukusanyika makala jukwaa katika ufumbuzi verticalized kutumia ulimwengu halisi ya biashara mfano - usimamizi wa mauzo quote mchakato na lango mteja. lengo ya msemaji ni kufungua macho yako na uwezekano wa jukwaa SharePoint na kwa faida ya makala yake usawa jukwaa kujenga ufumbuzi wa biashara maalumu kwa ajili ya asasi yako wima.

Kama somo kwamba haina kuelea mashua yako, there are a bunch of other good topics. And DC is a great venue in and of itself to visit.

Usajili kuufungua hii Alhamisi, 04/16. Fuatilia tovuti na kunyakua kiti kabla ni kuchelewa mno 🙂

Dakika ya Canada

This time last week, I was in Montreal, attending the highly recommended SharePoint Summit 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, but I know enough to give a tutorial on the subject. (Nashiriki, Geoff Schaller from Software Objectives in Australia, among a few others, was in the crowd to answer some of the deeper questions [I don’t know what they put in the water down there, but we need some of it here in the U.S.]).

Lakini, 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 na 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.

Hatimaye, 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 dakika. And I don’t even know how many minutes that is in Canadian.”

Everyone laughed and as a result, Montreal ni rasmi kwenye orodha yangu nzuri Maeneo 🙂

Even if they hadn’t laughed at my joke, I would love Montreal. I try very hard to be open minded and not take my cues from South Park, but I admit, to my chagrin, that I had no idea how great is the metropolis of Montreal. I can’t wait to go back in a few months, when it’s a little warmer, to visit again.

On a sort of related note, I also sat through Erik Swenson’s first public presentation entitled “IA and Branding Process: Sketches to Wireframes to Hi-Fidelity Designs.” (Erik is my EMC colleague). Check out the abstract here: http://www.sharepointsummit2009.com/conference_day2.htm. I even recorded it for for him. 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, lakini mimi walijaribu 🙂

Furaha SharePoint SSO Ukweli wa Siku

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. iView mtandao sehemu). 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, mtumiaji si kuwa na kuingia ID yao wakati wao hit juu kwamba mfumo.

That part worked well for me. Hata hivyo, ni begs swali, "Jinsi gani mabadiliko ya kwamba mtumiaji id mtumiaji au password?” The user might have made a mistake, au labda wewe ni kufanya baadhi ya kupima katika mazingira ya dev na haja ya haraka kubadili kati ya akaunti.

Sijui jibu la kwamba, lakini najua kwamba unaweza kwenda katika Utawala wa Kati na kusimamia sifa ya mtumiaji:

Kati Tawala -> Shughuli -> Kusimamia Single Ishara-ya -> Kusimamia Akaunti Taarifa kwa Ufafanuzi Maombi Enterprise

Kutoka huko, unaweza kutaja programu ya nje (e.g. SAP) and the account you want to delete. You can also change the mapping.

Kama unajua jinsi ya kuruhusu watumiaji wa mwisho moja kwa moja mabadiliko ya sifa zao, upole kuchapisha maoni 🙂

Adventures Kwa iView Mtandao vya

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 imejenga sana ubora karatasi nyeupe juu ya somo hili.

kikwazo kwanza nilikuwa na kushinda mara - ambapo ni mtandao iView sehemu? Kwa sababu baadhi ya, mawazo yangu ya kwanza ilikuwa kwamba Ningependa kuwa na kushusha ni kutoka tovuti mahali fulani, perhaps SAP’s site. Mimi nilikuwa 1/2 convinced myself that iView web parts might even cost extra. Bila shaka, wao ni pamoja na MOSS (Nadhani Enterprise; kwamba ni nini mimi nina kutumia hapa katika tukio lolote). 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.

Nilikuwa kutumia sehemu ya mtandao na naendelea kupata ujumbe huu annoying:

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

karatasi nyeupe anasema wazi wazi kuhariri faili Configuration iko katika faili "<Kuendesha Letter:>\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\Config\TrustedSAPHosts.config”. The first dozen times I looked at that, yote niliyoona ilikuwa "Mpango Files ... Config" na mimi akaenda moja kwa moja mbali na 12 mzinga. 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, lakini hiyo ni hadithi nyingine kwa siku nyingine.

Bottom line:

1. iView sehemu ya mtandao ni pamoja na nje ya boksi na SharePoint (pengine Enterprise).

2. uchawi Configuration faili, "TrustedSAPHosts.config", haina kuishi katika 12 mzinga.

MOSS User Profile kama Mamlaka kwa mtumiaji Upendeleo lugha

Juu ya mradi wangu wa sasa, baadhi ya watumiaji wa kusafiri kote duniani na wakati wao kufika katika nchi mbalimbali, use whatever machine is handy at the time. Those guest machines will be running Windows and installed and configured for the local locale. (Nimekuwa tu waligundua kwamba mashine mgeni inaweza kuwa Packs lugha ya haki… pengine si, kwa kweli… Mimi maegesho kwamba moja kwa sasa).

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.

Tunakwenda kuchunguza njia mbili:

  1. HTTP Handler: desturi HTTP handler imewekwa kwenye IIS kuangalia hadi MOSS mtumiaji profile, kufikiri lugha unayopendelea na kisha kubadili header HTTP kuzunguka kama inahitajika kabla ya kupitisha kudhibiti 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.

nyingine complicating sababu ni kwamba tunahitaji kusaidia watumiaji 60k, kuhusu 1,000 ambayo inaweza kuwa wakati huo huo kupata MOSS katika ujazo wa kilele.

Handler HTTP inaonekana kuwa kuporomoka, 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.

Sisi ni leaning kuelekea mbinu global.asax aina, hasa kwa sababu tunaamini tutaweza kuwa na chaguzi zaidi kwa ajili ya data Caching katika hatua hiyo.

Nitakuwa mabalozi zaidi juu ya somo hili kama mimi kujifunza zaidi.

Kama una kujua chochote kuhusu hii, tafadhali baada ya maoni 🙂

Ukamataji “mailto:” Metrics

I’m on a project where we need to collect metrics around a function named "Share a Story." The idea is very simple — kama wewe ni kuangalia katika makala ya kuvutia juu ya intranet na wanataka kushiriki kwa mtu, click a link labeled "Share this story" email ni rafiki yako.

Sisi alicheza karibu na fomu ya desturi kwa lengo hili, lakini mwisho, akili ya kawaida alishinda siku na sisi tu kutumia ukoo <href = mailto:…> technique. (<mailto href:…> ni ya kushangaza imara kidogo kidogo ya HTML; kama ziada, kiungo ambayo huleta mimi nyuma yangu ya zamani UNIX mtu siku kurasa; wale walikuwa siku!).

Mbinu hii hutoa interface kubwa kwa watumiaji wa mwisho kwani wao kupata kwa kutumia MS Outlook yao ukoo mteja (au chochote email mteja wao kuwa imewekwa).

Inafanya mambo magumu juu yetu aina developer maskini kwani wao mteja * pia * anataka kukimbia ripoti katika siku zijazo kwamba inaonyesha jinsi mara nyingi watumiaji wa kushiriki hadithi na hata hadithi ambayo ni pamoja mara nyingi.

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. Na, we need to manage that event library of emails. We have a scheduled job on the white board responsible for that cleanup.

Kama una baadhi ya mbinu wajanja kutatua tatizo hili, tafadhali kufanya kuwaambia.

NYC SharePoint Waendelezaji Group – Deep Tech Majadiliano

wiki chache zilizopita, 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. Kama matokeo, 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 (nne au tano wao pengine). It’s a new group.

Mimi kwa kweli alikuwa akampiga kwa lengo kweli ya kiufundi na ubora wa mjadala, kabla ya, during and after my presentation. We talked about a wide range of subjects relating to SharePoint and other Microsoft technology.

Kama wewe ni kutafuta nafasi ya kirafiki na kupata techy halisi, Mimi sana kupendekeza kundi hili.
