Visit NYC

Hi (again),

from 27th - 30th November 2008 i visit New York. If you want to talk with me about all the MS MOSS or BizTalk Stuff... just let me know... i will see if we can organize a meeting... :-)

Some more MOSS adventures

hi,

long time ago after my last blogging... i had too much to fight with/against my loveley MOSS.. :-)
Here are some of my experiences in the last weeks/months:

1. Developing online market place for an intranet

I developed an online market place (release 1) where employees of a global company can buy or sell items.

I developed this cool tool as single webpart for sharepoint 2007. There is a filter, you cann add images to your announcement, you can edit your profile and of course your items...

The solution is a standalone solution, so the user of this market place are stored in another databse then the "normal" sharepoint users.

Cool design feature... This market place is also available (with the same code) for ASP.NET applications.

I use asp.net control loading and session state in this webpart. If you are interested in some screenshots or code... come back later... i will populate some features with screenshots and code in a few days... (without guarantee) :-)


Did you ever need to use the asp.net event handling in MOSS? No? You are are a lucky guy (or girl)... *g

2. Develop custom content webpart

I developed a custom webpart which uses the MOSS HTML editor and some custom properties. Now my customer is able to save different content in his own database and can decide which content he will show the users. Very nice...

so... what is next in my project plan... let's have a look:

... there will be some projects to use the BDC of MOSS and SAP or ACCESS... (yes... this little MS db office tool... and no... it's not dead... :-))
... some cool BizTalk R2 mappings and orchs to generate flatfiles and connect to SAP HR...
... and of course a lot of documentation... puhhh... i really will try to blog...

MOSS and Business Score Card Manager 2005

It is possible to use the Microsoft Office Business Score Card Manager with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007... but you need the compatible version of BSCM 2005 and it works only on 32-Bit systems..

HowTo use dynamic SAP Send Port with SAP Adapter 2.0

as described in the linked ms article above you can set the SAP URI dynamically. But the most problem you have is to install the SAP Adpter 2.0 on a Windows Vista Client... SAP Connector... VS.NET 2003... and all these stupid stuff....

Main problem is to set the username and password on runtime. You have to address the SAP Adapter properties in the header of the message send to the SAP system. You need to reference th Microsoft.BizTalk.SAPAdapterProperties.dll into your VS.NET Solution and you are now able to set the user credientials at runtime.
