Custom wcf service that uses SharePoint Object Model.

Hi All,
I am writing a custom service on SharePoint. I have noticed most of the people do deploy the custom wcf service in layout folder in 12/14/15 hive. I am wondering is it mandatory? Can’t we deploy the custom wcf service that uses SharePoint Object Model as
virtual directory on a specific port?
Regards Restless Spirit

It is suggested to use WCF in 12/14/15 hive folder due to security and eas in use. Check below

If you want to use the server object model you have to host your WCF service on the same server as your SharePoint is installed on.
If the WCF service has to be on a different server you can use the client object model or the SharePoint webservices to communicate to SharePoint.

How to design a wcf service for specific requirement

i have 2 question on wcf.
1) suppose some one develop a bus booking service using wcf and expose the same service over 2 different endpoint like tcp and http but i like to know what would be the advantage of having 2 or more endpoint for single service ? in what kind of situation
people use this trick? discuss in details.
2) how can i offer some extra functionality for tcp client. suppose my service has 5 function but http client can call only 2 and tcp client can call all. how do i design wcf service in this way. any idea would be appreciated. thanks

Hi Mou_kolkata,
>> 1)what would be the advantage of having 2 or more endpoint for single service ? in what kind of situation people use this trick? discuss in details.
In my mind the advantage of providing different endpoints for a single service is that each endpoint could use different binding and we would use different endpoints for logical grouping by function, we could also apply different levels of security
in the binding for each endpoint. For example you can expose an interoperable endpoint for Java, PHP, ... clients and a proprietary binary endpoint which could be faster but only for .NET clients.
Besides, please also try to check this similar thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6033788/when-why-would-i-use-multiple-endpoints-vs-a-single-endpoint-in-a-wcf-service .
>> 2) how can i offer some extra functionality for tcp client. suppose my service has 5 function but http client can call only 2 and tcp client can call all. how do i design wcf service in this way. any idea would be appreciated.
An esay way is to create two services. One service is for http client with 2 functions and the other service is for tcp client with 5 functions.
Or maybe you need do some authentication, for more information, please try to refer to:

Custom WCF Service Deployment

Hi,
We have tried to create the document set using REST API and not able to create the document set using REST API. Finally we have decided to use the Custom WCF service to create the document set. We have three approaches to deploying the WCF service.
1. IIS hosted service.
2. Inside the Layouts folder deployment
3. ISAPI folder deployment.
Which location is good to deploy the custom WCF service ?. I am going to call this service from java application to create the document set.
Thank you,
Mylsamy

Hi.
You can use CKSDEV visual studio extension to create your own WCF service.
The service is created under the
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\ISAPI\yourservice
folder

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to get user profile properties in provider-hosted app in SharePoint online using REST API.
Here is sample code for getting user profile properties:

How to download a file version from office 365 using csom

I need to download an older file version from office 365 and get the data into a byte array. I have no trouble downloading the latest version with File.OpenBinaryStream() and I have no trouble loading the previous file versions with File.Versions. But now
I need to actually download an older version of the file and it seems the only way is to use File.OpenBinaryDirect. So I am creating a client context using my oAuth access token and providing the correct path, but I am getting a (401) Unauthorized
error. Looking with Fiddler I can see that the call to OpenBinaryDirect is somehow trying to post to my file URL and the server is responding with 401.
context = TokenHelper.GetClientContextWithAccessToken(SPHostUrl, AccessToken);
FileInformation info = File.OpenBinaryDirect(context, "/" + _fileVersion.Url); //throws 401
//leading slash required otherwise ArgumentOutOfRangeException
I have to be able to access the older file versions with my c# code -- I don't have a viable app without that ability -- any help urgently needed and greatly appreciated!

Thank you SO much (Can't wait for the next release)!
For anyone else who lands here, here's the code I ended up using:
// VersionAccessUser and VersionAccessPassword are stored in web.config
// web.Url is loaded via the clientContext
// myVersion is the FileVersion I got from the file's Versions.GetById() method
// probably a lot of ways to get hostUrl, it just needs to be https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/
// - I'm running my app from a subweb
// I had trouble following the links to get the full MsOnlineClaimsHelper code
// (the one on msdn.com was missing RequestBodyWriter, WSTrustFeb2005ContractClient,
// and IWSTrustFeb2005Contract
// so I've included the code I used here.
string myVersionFullUrl = string.Format("{0}/{1}", web.Url, myVersion.Url);
string userName = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("VersionAccessUser");
string strPassword = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("VersionAccessPassword");
string hostUrl = Regex.Replace(web.Url, "([^/]+//[^/]+/).*", "$1");
MsOnlineClaimsHelper claimsHelper = new MsOnlineClaimsHelper(hostUrl, userName, strPassword);
var client = new WebClient();
client.Headers["Accept"] = "/";
client.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.UserAgent, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;)");
client.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, claimsHelper.CookieContainer.GetCookieHeader(new Uri(hostUrl)));
var document = client.DownloadString(myVersionFullUrl);
// These classes are needed to download old versions of files (see: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7746d857-d351-49cc-b2f0-496663239e02/how-to-download-a-file-version-from-office-365-using-csom?forum=sharepointdevelopment)

How to "Manually" publish WCF service in Service Registry

Since WCF service publication is not yet supported by ES Explorer for .NET, will someone know me how to do that in SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1.
I did the following:
Services Registry->Publish and picked up the WSDL from WCF, and pressed the Publish button.
Now when I go to "Service Definition" tab, and put service interface name in Find dialog box, the service appears in "Found Service Definitions:.." list, and can see details in "General" and "Endpoints" tabs in the bottom.
However, the "Classifications" and "System Details" tab don't show anything since I just imported the standard WSDL from WCF without any SAP specific extesions.
Can I somehow manually edit them, and classify my service, since I could not do that from the ES Explorer tool?
Edited by: Fakher Halim on Dec 9, 2008 11:49 AM

Rima,
I only have publish button on my CE page. I an using SAP NetWeaver    CE 7.1 SR5. It does not have a "Next" button on its web page. However, I could successfully do the classification of this service.
Here is what I am doing:
1. Going to the first page http://LOCALHOST:50000/index.html. Here I have 8 options, e.g. "Web Services Navigator"; "SAP NetWeaver   Administrator"; and "Services Registry".
I click on    "Services Registry".
A new browser window opens. (I can also do the same by directly navigating to http://LOCALHOST:50000/sr and logging on).
2. The title of this page is "Services Registry".
I click on "Publish" Tab, and see "Publish Services" page underneath it. On this page I just have a single text box with accompanied label "Endpoint WSDL: " and a single yellow button "Publish"
3. When I copy paste my service WSDL, the only button I can press is "Publish" .
After pressing that button, and waiting for a few seconds a green checkbox appears with message indicating that service is successfully published. I never see the "Next" button you mentioned in your solution.
Can you please guide me on that?

How to create custom index service?

Hi, all.
I was trying to create a custom index service. When I go edit mode in index management service, only the portal RolesSearchservice shows in the index services list. I cannot add my own. Please advise.
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Hi, John.
I have already got trex up and running. We are implementing a federated search with another application. This is already working on our existing EP6. Now we need to move it to our EP7. According to our old doc, we need to create a custom index service under index management service. However, I am not sure where the index service list comes from and how I can add our own. There is only an "edit" button. But there is no add or create button on it. I guess I don't really know how that works. The documentation on help.sap.com is not helping as usual.
Thanks,
Jonathan.

How to move from EOP to Hybrid Office 365 configuration?

I have a customer that just completed their transition from FOPE to EOP. Everything is working, but the customer would like to move all Exchange 2010 mailboxes to Exchange Online. They already have licenses, and have more than 2000 seats. A
cutover migration is not possible, so a hybrid migration is my only choice. I have been unable to find any documentation on this scenario (EOP-to-Hybrid).
Does anyone have any references or documentation that points to the correct steps to make this transition? Some blogs indicate that the only way to make this work is to point the MX record elsewhere, remove the existing EOP connectors, and have the
Hybrid configuration wizard re-create them.
Any help here is appreciated! Thanks.

Hi
Your question is not that easy to be answered since the planning and migrating depends upon the current environment setup, status and everything.
However you can follow this conitious thread step by step for Migrating from Exchange 2013 to Office 365 which will help you to plan accordingly to your environment
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/office-365/exchange-online/configuring-exchange-2013-hybrid-deployment-and-migrating-office-365-exchange-online-part11.html
I would recommend you to open up a ticket with Microsoft for a hassle free migration from Exchange 2013 to O365
But for migration from Notes to o365 we need some kind of third party softwares like Quest Tools to throttle the process quickly and also you need to set few throttling policies in Exchange end as well inorder to integrated well with Microsoft Cloud
during Migration process. Its better you can open up a ticket with Microsoft and Quest for planning the migration acording do your needs and proceed.
Below one is for your reference

How to create a private forum in Office 365 SharePoint for customers?

Hi,
I am implementing a SharePoint Office 365 solution for a client but one of their requirements is sharing regularly updated info with only 20 customers. The idea is to share info with just the customers in a private forum basically to receive feedback, comments
and emails. What is the best approach to this?
Thanks,

Hello Aslr12,
Based on these requirements I would just create a new site collection within SharePoint online service of your Office 365 tenant, based on the community site template. This template has some nice web parts like the Discussion list and some Community tools.
