• AlexBB Visiting a portal without authentication

  Hello: I've created a portal with MOSS 2007 as a test, now it is necessary to sign in to visit the portal. Can I make that the users visit the same site without the authentication window Regards if you'd like to open up your portal to anybody and everybody you can turn on anonymous access which will not require any kind of authentication.

If not, is it necessary to do an authentication what happens if I want to make my portal available to all the world is it possible Thanks Usually in case like that you have someth ...Show All

• 黃泓量 Jeremy Wong Moving MySites to a different farm in BTR

  Don't ask why I am trying to do this but I need to migrate a few MySites from a BTR installation to a different BTR installation so I then can upgrade them to RTM. It seems like the stsadm -backup/restore doesn't capture all the meta data and other dependencies tied in with MySites. Does anyone out there know a good way to achieve this I've tried the stsadm -export -includeusersecurity but I am getting all these "access denied" errors on export AND import. Needless to say, this is messy. Thanks, Rabbit I am getting the following error [2/27/2007 11:13:17 PM]: Progress: Initializing Import. [2/27/2007 11:14:17 PM]: Progress: Starting content import.

• nattylife Multivalued bdc column - a dream?

  I think (based on experiment and crawling through the internet) that this is impossible, but I will ask again - does anyone know of a way to make a BDC column multivalued I have a web service that allows people to seach for values from an external system, but they need to select more than one value. Please let me know if you know the solution. Thanks, Ishai Sagi Hi Steve, thanks for the mention :) we're doing our best here.

• wchedm Data Access Architecture

  I am reviewing my current project and find that the data access is not so desirable. The main problem maybe root from the architecture of my data access. I would like to get more input. In my existing application, I have create one data access object for each table. Most of them are implemented by Type DataSet while some are custom objects (The reason is lack of inheritance of Type DataSet). For example, I have created a Typed DataSet Order to access my order header and order detail. I have also created a product class and a SalesProduct class (inherit from Product). The above objects are all treated as my DAL and contains CRUD mainly. (Certainly, I found some business logic messed into them already.) The problem came when I reviewing the ...Show All

• Doug 123 Visio Modeling and Database/Column Notes

  I am using Visio for Enterprise Architects that came with the latest release of Visual Studio 2005 and am designing a new database from scratch. I have commented all tables and columns but cannot find a way to pass those values into the database during creation. This is a vital component or any database modeling tool (such as ERwin) and am curious why this seems to not be supported. I am creating the database in SQL Server 2005.

• Mamatha critique requested on thin Data Access Layer

  I have devised a way to save tons of code by calling stored procs with a single web service method, which takes a DataSet parameter, containing a DataTable with the name of the stored procedure and column names matching the parameter names, and row(0) contents matching the values to be passed. I have further simplified matters by making all parameters varchar, so a call from my client looks like: Dim paramVals As String() = { myString1, myString2 } Dim ds As DataSet = oneWsMethod("storedProcName", "param1,param2", paramVals) ... Dim params As String() = { this1String, thisOtherstring, thirdString } ds = oneWsMethod("anotherProc", "p1,p2,p3", params, usingTransaction:=True) My o ...Show All
