Best way to automate visio diagram on sharepoint

Hello,
I've created a visio diagram from sql data and published on sharepoint as .vdw file. Its an orgchart diagram.
The orgchart shapes are updated based on the values from the sql table data. But when new rows are added to table or rows are removed from the table there is no way for the diagram to add those or remove those shapes unless we create a new orgchart diagram
from the table. What is the best way to automate this process and publish to sharepoint?
Thanks.

Some form of Visio Automation needs to be employed. Be that C# or Powershell  there are examples of both below, but not data binding specific.

  • What's the best approach to automatically upload file to Sharepoint?

    Hi xMII experts,
    Does anyone  have experience on  how to automatically upload the file Sharepoint(Windows Sharepoint Services) ?  I tried to google but only find the below solutions:
    --Create a .Net  application.Write the Webservice reference in the code.
    http://www.sharepointblogs.com/ssa/archive/2006/11/30/wsuploadservice-web-service-for-uploading-documents-into-sharepoint.aspx
    --Create a Java application  with the Webservice reference.
    http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/31499846/uploading-files-to-a-docu.aspx
    My intention is to minimize the program or coding effort, which can't be satisfied by the above two ways.
    Looking forward to your responses
    Best Regards
    Terrance Liang

    Hello Terrance,
    You want to do this using the MII? or you want to create an interface in the MII to exchange files between servers?
    Let me know your idea.

  • Display SCOM Visio diagrams in sharepoint 2013?

    In my sharepoint 2010 environment I installed the components to view SCOM Visio diagrams (http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2012/04/02/visio-and-sharepoint-extensions-for-system-center-2012-released.aspx)
    Is there an updated version of this tool that will work with sharepoint 2013?

    Hi,
    Here is a blog about integrating Operations Manager 2012 Views in SharePoint 2013 with Visio Services, you can use as a reference:

  • Best way to generate ER diagram

    We have Oracle 11g in our environment. I wanted to know which should be the best way to generate an ER diagram. Below are these steps in SQL developer (version of SQL developer is 3.2.x):
    a) View → Data Modeler → Browser
    b) In browser tab, select show on newly created relational model
    c) Then just drag the tables you want (from e.g. the «Connections» tab) onto the model.
    The problem is I am not able to drag the tables.
    I hope I have been able to explain my requirement of generating ER diagram.
    Please revert with the reply to my query.
    Regards

    2) If all the tables are required in ER diagram, then should all the tables be selected in point c) of my post.
    If all the Tables in your relational diagram are to included in the ER diagram, just click the Engineer button.
    If some are to be excluded, you can expand the Tables node in the tree in the top part of the dialogue and deselect the ones you don't want.  Then click the Engineer button.
    1) How to save the ER diagram
    To save your model for future update, you can go to the File menu and select Data Modeler > Save.
    To save your diagram as a PDF or image file, go to the File menu and select Data Modeler > Print Diagram.

  • What is the best way to automatically delete user profiles after x days of inactivity (school lab environment)?

    I work at a school where we have multiple Mac Carts that have 30 MacBooks per cart. We image the macs every summer to delete the older user profiles but we are looking for way to possible have this done automatically through out the year to help with HDD space. What is the best way to delete user profiles after...say 180 days.... of inactivity automatically? I am open to login hooks, bash scripts, etc. Anything to get the job done. Thanks for any help or advice.

    A search here turned up this post Deleting inactive users
    It appears that the script posted will do as advertised though I would test it out on your systems and under your conditions to see if it does do what you need.
    regards
    Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - That script looks for users over 21 days. To look for ones over 180 days change the 21 to 180 in the find command.

  • Best way to automatically map Java bean hierarchy to JavaFx property bean hierarchy

    We do not want JavaFx on the server side, so our DTO objects are plain Java beans.
    On the client side, we want to use the comfort of JavaFx bindings. As we're using Java 7, POJO bindings aren't possible yet.
    So we're looking for a way to automatically wrap the Java beans in JavaFx property beans.
    Possible approaches I've been looking into:
    - Code generation via JCodeModel
    - JavaBeanPropertyBuilder
    Ideally, we would want to have classes with structured JavaFx properties as a result, so that an ObjectProperty does not use the bean class, but always the respective JavaFx property bean class.
    This is so we don't need too many low-level bindings, but can rely on deep select bindings.
    This goes beyond the capabilities of JavaBeanPropertyBuilder as far as I understood it, so I'm left with fairly complex code generation using JCodeModel.
    Does anyone have some experience to share? Am I missing an option?

    Andipa wrote:
    As we're using Java 7, POJO bindings aren't possible yet.
    I'm sorry to reply without a good suggestion, but is there some type of POJO binding support in Java 8?
    This is what I currently use for POJO binding, but it doesn't sound very close to what you're asking for.  A lot of code still needs to be written by hand.  Also, I've only used it with relatively flat models so far.

  • What is the best way to SSO custom Tomcat J2EE, Sharepoint and Portal?

    We are implementing EP7.0 and I believe we can use logon tickets and SAPSECULIB to integrate all our infrastructure which is Sharepoint (Runs on IIS), our custom J2EE applications (run on Apache webserver and Tomcat).
    Is using of logon tickets and SAPSECULIB the recommended way to accomplish SSO or is there a better way?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Victoria,
    I would put the html file that you generated on the file system
    let say the Apache/Apache/htdocs
    Then I'd put an HTML portlet on the page and show the HTML file using an iframe
    <iframe src="name of your file"
                height="600"
                width="800"
                frameborder="0"
                scrolling="no"
    </iframe>Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • Best way to automatically delete multiple duplicate contacts?

    I had Mobile Me go nuts on me a few weeks ago and took my 1,000+ contacts and duplicated them with every sync up to 16,400 before I caught it and shut it down.
    This happened to my iCal appointments as well, but there is a simple application out there that allows duplicate entries to be automatically deleted.
    Anyone know how to do this with AddressBook? I really don't have time to go through 16,400 entries and confirm each one before deleting them!!

    Best is to not get them - how did you end up with duplicates?
    A good solution is Duplicate annilator

  • Best way to automatically archive IMAP email locally?

    This has probably been asked a million times, but the solution eludes me...
    I've recently switched one of my email accounts from POP to IMAP. Unfortunately, the email provider is VERY stingy with it's mailbox quotas, limiting me to something like 25MB for the inbox and 50MB total (including trash and junk folders). When the total size of messages in my inbox reaches the quota, the oldest are deleted. Not moved to trash, but completely erased. Poof! Gone! This becomes a problem if I receive several large attachments, as I can suddenly find myself with less than a week's worth of emails in my inbox.
    This was not a problem when using POP, since everything was saved on my Mac. I prefer to save old messages for at least a year or more for reference purposes, and would like to do so in a local folder in Mail if possible. Now, the trouble is how exactly to go about this in the most automated way possible? My first thought was to create a rule that would copy each message to an archive folder "On My Mac" as they are received. However, it seems that rules are not applied to messages if I first mark them as read from another device (webmail or my iPod touch) then sync Mail on my Mac at a later time. Can anybody suggest a better solution to assure that I can save a copy of all of my mail locally with limited user intervention (I could manually copy each message every day, but that's a pain)?

    Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but why do you use such a stingy email provider?
    If your email provider supports it, some don't, consider forwarding all emails to a different address (iCloud/GMail)
    You don't need to notify senders since the old address continues to work
    Replies to your emails will send as [email protected]
    emails will sync seamlessly between devices
    This blogpost discusses forwarding of emails for those who are using ISP based email

  • Is there a way to automate Reaktor in Logic 7

    Is there a way to automate Reaktor in Logic 7.. i.e all the nobs?
    Thanks soo much!

    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The best way to automate any NI instrument in Logic is to use Kore from NI.
    Kore opens as a pi and acts as host to single or multiple AU instances. Kore hardware has 8 buttons and 8 controllers assigned to control all parameters (all set up in factory presets, but also user controllable)
    When you open a software instrument in Logic using kore, Logic automatically assigns automation to 8 pages of the 16 controls. You do not need to set this up in Logic's cdontroller assignments, it happens automatically
    so if I open a sound in reactor I have no instant automation
    If I open the same sound in Kore I get up to 64 continuous controllers and 64 on/off switches instantly.
    I still find it hard to come to terms with how well kore works and how simple it is to use. Highly recommended.

  • Best way to provision users in LDAP on a schedule?

    Hi,
    I am trying to work out the best way to automatically create users in an LDAP resource. the sceanrio is as follows:
    I have an authorititive directory from which I wish to pull users into IDM which is under my control. I have another directory which I want to provision users to. It does not have a changelog - I'm not sure that active synch will work? This directory is not under my control so I can't simply add one.
    I want to update the list of IDM users nightly from the authorititive directory then push the changes to the other directory.
    I read on here about per-account workflows, I have 10k accounts at present, but this is likely to grow quickly, so I guess that has to be ruled out on performance grounds?
    Can anyone suggest a way to create users in the remote directory. could I have a workflow which iterates through all the IDM users and provisions an account if it doesn't exist? how would I configure and schedule this?
    Thanks for your help,
    Toby.
    Edited by: Toby.ORourke on Jan 7, 2008 1:48 PM

    You stated, "This directory is not under my control so I can't simply add one", can you expand on this? Do you not have an account to connect to this directory? Do you not have a resource adaptor for this directory? If you do not have a resource adaptor you will have difficulties connecting via sim, it is not impossible. You can connect to and ldap directory using the jndi api in java.
    Your questions are of a larger design question that I feel might be out of context for this forum based on business rules we cannot answer.

  • What is the best way to auto back up from a pc to time capsule?

    IN MY HOUSE WE HAVE ONE MAC AND THREE WINDOWS PCS/LAPTOPS. I AM LOOKING FOR THE BEST WAY TO AUTOMATICALLY BACK UP THE PCs TO THE TIME CAPSULE.

    windows 7 will not back up to a time capsule. because windows backup demands ntfs, and time capsules aren't true nas devices (they don't include the ability to fool windows into thinking its an ntfs partition)
    i thnk your going to need another back up utility for your windows computers, like maybe acronis or paragon or rdrive, etc etc
    theres nothing stopping you from copying files back and forth from a windows computer to a time capsule, but when it comes to windows backup it won't work

  • What is the best way to read and manipulate large data in excel files and show them in Sharepoint

    Hi ,
    I have a large excel file that has 700,000 records in it. The excel file has a few columns that change every day.
    What is the best way to read the data form the excel file in fastest and most efficient way.
    2 nd Problem,
    I have one excel file that has many rows each row contain some data that has certain keywords.
    What I want is  to segregate the data of rows into respective sheets(tabs ) in the workbook.
    for example in rows have following data 
    1. Alfa
    2beta
    3 gama
    4beta
    5gama
    6gama
    7alfa
    in excel
    I want there to be 3 tabs now with each of the key words alfa beta and gamma.

    Hi,
    I don't really see any better options for SharePoint. SharePoint use other production called 'Office Web App' to allow users to view/edit Microsoft Office documents (word, excel etc.). But the web version of excel doesn't support that much records as well
    as there's size limitations (probably the default max size is 10MB).
    Regarding second problem, I think you need some custom solutions (like a SharePoint timer job/webpart ) to read and present data.
    However, if you can reduce the excel file records to something near 16k (which is supported rows in web version of excel) then you can use SharePoint Excel service to refresh data automatically in the excel file in SharePoint from some external sources.
    Thanks,

  • Best way to migrate SharePoint 2003 data into SQL Server 2008

    Hi Experts,
        I am planning to migrate data from SharePoint 2003 into SQL Server 2008. After the migration SharePoint site will be deleted in couple of months and then that data will be feed into .Net Front end application
    1) What is the best and easy way to do it?
    2) Is there any way to automate the migration process? i.e. If a new record gets entered into SharePoint it should be populated into SQL Server 2008.
    3) Any other suggestions
    Thanks,
    John

    Dear John,
                    If it's just a few lists, and you just want to import them "as-is" then it should be possible to do so ... and survive to tell the about it ;-)
                   Generally speaking, You will need to write a small process (program or script) to read/parse each list and check if the item(s) are in the target table (I assuming that there is a distinct table as target
    for each list, and that each list has 'something" you can use to distinct each row), if it's not there, the just add them according to your needs.  
                   Then just rerun the process periodically and it would keep your databases up to date (you could even set ti up to update those records that have changes, but that would delay your process significantly)
                    What i just described is doable, and not TOO complicated, it could be done i a lot different ways, and with different alternatives of programming/scripting languages. for sure you can do it in any flavor
    of .net language, and even powershell.
                    As I mentioned, this is speaking in general, the actual implementation would depend on your specific needs and the kind of data that you have/need to keep.
    Best Regards / Saludos, Marianok
