• Dave9999 BDC and Table maintenance (editing data)

  Good day all, It is a common requirement in our business to create table (SQL table) maintenance web pages to maintain data associated with inventory planning processes (for example).  In our latest project we were planning to extend our custom ASP.Net pages to support more tables.  As architect, I wanted to influence the team to move this facility from custom code into our portal platform (MOSS 2007), and BDC seemed the ideal option to replace the custom front end.  However, BDC only goes halfway since it doesn't support updates.  I've spent the last couple of hours researching this on MSDN and TechNet, and although many folks refer to the idea, there aren't any real-world examples out there.  There see ...Show All

• David_52 A web part that is a consumer and provider at the same time.

  I have already implemented a provider and consumer ASP.NET web parts and using them in sharepoint. Now I have to send some information from my consumer web part to another consumer web part.

• markovuksanovic Disable Submit Button

  Hello and I'd like to know the way of disable the submit button after it is clicked, in other word, the form is already submitted. Is that anyway to do so Please tell me,Thanks a lot! You can add a boolean field labeled 'submitted' that isn't displayed anywhere on the form. Set the default value to false. Add a rule to your submit button to set this field to true when the form is submitted. Then use conditional formatting on the submit button to disable it if the 'submitted' field equals true. Hope that helps. -Cynthia Also, if you plan on having this displayed in a browser navigate to the Form Options window. Tools -> Form Options. Once there, make sure you are in the Browser category.

• aa807 Sharepoint Services 3.0 and AD Security Groups?

  I am running Sharepoint Services 3.0 on a Windows 2003 R2 Server. Everything setup without issue and works without issue. I can add AD security groups to Sharepoint groups and the users get access. However the only security groups that actually grant access are the groups that were there prior to the Sharepoint install. Any groups that were created after the install or changes to those groups are not granted access in Sharepoint. Basically I add a presharepoint ad security group to a sharepoint group for access and it works beautifully. I create a new group, add a user to it, and add it to the sharepoint group - it adds without issue but does not grant access to the site. I even tried creating the group, adding it to the site and lettin ...Show All

• OUPRO How to create MOSS web applications on web front end server?

  Hello, I'm trying to arrange 3 servers in a farm in order to mimic CMS 2002 installation configuration (where I currently have one backend server for editing, one read-only for internet users and a database). Based on Technet's article about creating simple farm deployment now I have one DB, one MOSS server which runs all application roles except web front end (server is called APP) and one server which is dedicated web front end server (WFE). WFE and APP are in one farm. On WFE I have three sites with three different host header names all working on port 80. Then I wanted to extend these (at least this is how I see it) in order to have them serving MOSS content that should be created on APP. MOSS central administration is running on APP a ...Show All

• Marco Zapletal Is CSF essentially an ESB?

  Is CSF essentially performing some of the same role as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) product such as those available from vendors such as Sonic or IBM If not, how is it different A follow-up question - can one assume that session mgmt is a combination of "ESB"+"run time goverance"+ orchestration CSF performs a set of governance functions needed to manage a system of services in addition to performing a "session" management function for integrating services to build composite services. You can think of the session management function as being akin to "a virtual instance of an ESB created for each aggregation or mashup." Thi ...Show All

• Wenbiao SQL 2005 and Visio for Enterprise Architects Database

  I reverse engeneered a SQL2005 database into Visio for EA where I had utilized the new schema feature (like what was done in the sample Adventure Works database). After the db schema was generated I was happy to see the the schema name appeared in the owner attribute of the table definition. However, I was unable to change the owner to a different schema name. Additionally, if I create a new database design, it appears I cannot associate an owner (schema) to the table. Am I missing something If I name the table with a dot notation to include the schema name, it prepends the dbo owner as well. Any recommendations I like the notion of using schemas for security purposes. Thanks, Tom I'm working on a client's Data Model in ...Show All

• Rattlerr Runing web apps with Windows NT Load Balancing Service

  I was assigned to solve problem with our IIS web server cluster. The problem is when we need to boot one of our servers, the sessions connected to server are lost. Which means that the client needs to login. Is there a way to do this without losing the logins Because those are Windows servers. I believe shared sessions store is not configured correctly. I will look into this and make further questions if I don't resolve the problem. We are atm searching solutions for new "iron". So this is only temporary solution for our growing number of clients. Lately we also notice that even with load balance dividing the users the number 1 server has reached it's limit. The ASP .NET process taking 100% of CPU and over 5 ...Show All
