• George2 Workflow created in SharePoint Designer doesn't work ...

  Hi, I created a custom workflow using SharePoint designer. It is okay when the system admin (the one who created the workflow in sharepoint designer) submits an InfoPath form to the library and then the workflow has been started. However, when a normal user (even with Full Control Permission) submits the InfoPath form to the library and the workflow cannot be started. Any additional security setup has to be configured when workflow is created in SharePoint Designer Thanks so much. Paul I tried my workflow and got "access denied" error. But when I still use this group and still haven't change the group to be "Anyone can see members", and tried the "Approval" workflow which is installed in ...Show All

  In a large project ,if I build a class diagram and what is the next step,the work has to divide into serval parts , framework should come first at this stage Hi Su, There are many different methodologies and processes used to guide projects thru requirements/architecture/design/coding/testing phases. You will have to look at these and decide what works best for you. You can search for RUP, Zachman framework, togaf etc. If you are following Extreme programming, then the order of what to implement is more flexible. For example you can chose to do framework later and refactor the code at that point in time to fit into the framework. To specifically comment on what you have asked: I assume that you have designed analysis ...Show All

• Knvb1123 Full backup hanging on last step

  Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me. I have a full backup that runs every night. A couple nights ago, it started to hang on on backing up the Windows Sharepoint Services Search Database. It says "Preparing backup" while all the other steps says "In Process". The SQL server database, on the same server (single server deployment) taps out in the morning and the portal is unable to connect to the config database. Then I'd have to restart the server. These backups are also not restorable as they had never finished. Does anyone know what's going on here or know how to clear the unfinished backup history I've already tried deleting timer failed and stuck timer jobs. Thank you much. I have two sharepoin ...Show All

• gudel Publishing Feature in WSS 3.0

  Hi, I have been looking for information on Content Deployment in the new Sharepoint products. We are looking to have an intranet MOSS server and a WSS 3.0 internet server. Is it possible to deploy basic content from a MOSS server (doc libraries) to a WSS 3.0 server I cannot find a direct answer to this. I know that publishing is a MOSS-only feature, but do you require publishing to recieve content, or only push Is is possible to enable some feature in order to achieve this Thanks in advance for your help. I understand that this may sound like a stupid question. Regards, Michael ...Show All

• manukahn Web farm architecture

  I want to design a web farm with three web servers. Can I use Application Center to do that If yes, is there any reference design diagram If no, any other suggestion You can access the cluster using the .50 address, the other two access a specific server in the cluster (since it is not a shared address). You can certainly deploy the application to a given server without detaching, but it's not recommended, because then one of your users might get their request routed to the server you're deploying to and get an error. However, if you detach it from the cluster, all user's will still get all their request serviced by the other servers and won't likely noticed your operations. Hi Tomas Thank you very much for your valuable ...Show All

• jackwc Running Windowsless ActiveX app from Windows Service

  Hi, I have written a Windows Service application that calls a Windows Application at a specific time of the day. The Windows Application hosts a Windowless ActiveX control. I am using a threading timer callback in the Windows Service constructor to call a method that instantiates a Process class passing in the path to the Windows App executable (see some of the code below) ProcessStartInfo startInfo = null; string strAppPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["appPath"]; startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(strAppPath, string.Empty); startInfo.UseShellExecute = false; startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; Process process1 = new Process(); process1.StartInfo = startInfo; process1.Start(); When this method ...Show All

• Tsur Licensing for 3 tier design

  I know I need to ask my licensing rep, but I was hoping someone knows the answer to this real quick from experience. Do I have to buy a MOSS 2007 server license for both a WFE and an application server role I assume yes at almost $4,000 a pop but I'm hoping I'm wrong...... As you know ony your licensing rep can give you a definite answer but I tend to agree with you that you would need separate licenses for the FE and App server since they are separate boxes. ...Show All

  I would like someone to explain the initial domain accounts needed to setup MOSS2007 with out getting concurency errors, permission denied errors or, "Only the site admin is allowed to querry from the profiles db." This is my 9th MOSS installation in 3 days and there was no combination of domain accounts that have worked. My first installation. 1.

• MrZkitten Permission to a certain view

  Is there a way of restricting users to a certain view. Example: A list of employees contacts and salary information with two views. One for the HR Managers and one for the other is for the HR employees. I want to limit the group of HR Employees to the contact details but not salary information. I thought of this solution, it serves the purpose just fine. However, there is one problem thou. I think if users knew the exact url to the list, then they could access the the library with no restriction. There is no way to set separate permissions on different views for a given list. Nor is there any field-level security within a list. And you are correct that Audience Targeti ...Show All

• dbaf Web Service for Bank's internal operations

  Dear All. I am very new to XML Web Services. I read that ther are suitable for connecting different organizations and different systems. But What do you think Is it true logic to use Web Services for inside bank operations: f.e: AddNewCustomer, EditCustomer, DebetAccount. So, in general operatiosn that use "Data Manipulation Language". So, not to use siply Client-Server architecture, there will Client-WebSrvice/s - Database Server. As we know bank's has bunch of records. Are WebServices good candidate for such bunch operations Thanks in advance. Teymur Thanks for your reply. But I need not to directly connection to DB. I need something in the middle layer acted with some features of webserver. ...Show All

• RWF "Explorer View" locks Active Directory accounts

  We only recently began using Sharepoint corporation-wide, but have begun receiving support calls for locked accounts. We've noticed a pattern that the accounts were locking after the user was browsing around in Sharepoint. I myself am now able to "force" my own account lock by simply clicking "Explorer View" in any document share (note: I am full admin on all Sharepoint web sites). I do in fact get the explorer folder view and can get right-click options, but once I navigate off (for example, by clicking "Home"), I am immediately locked out and receive a login prompt in the browser. Has anyone else had this problem and can shed some light on possible solutions I've tried going through the troubleshooting s ...Show All

• Rogvi Knudsen Query on Entity Design

  There are times when one might have to load 2 entities out of which only few fields might be required from the second entity in that particular screen. For example I could have a customer entity and an order entity. In an order capture screen I would require the order entity and few fields of the customer entity say name, address.. So the question is for a few fields of customer entity does it make sense to load the entire entity.. This would make even more cause of concern if the corresponding entity has many child entity collections in it. For example one customer would have multiple address, contact numbers and so on. I presonally feel that no matter who little or more one uses the entity, the entire entity needs to be loaded because ...Show All
