Cloud business app - using sharepoint persons

hi,
we have a cloud business app using a sharepoint list as a data source, the list has a sharepoint person or group type column,
when you bring that list into LS app, it brings in the UserInformation list as well.
if you build screens for browsing the entity, you can surface the person.name property, by creating a computed field - however you cannot search for the person by name, a computed field does not appear to have the IsSearchable property.
is there anyway to include the related data in the search ?
MrP

I haven't encountered this situation (yet) so if the obvious things don't work I would make a
WCF RIA Service that would hydrate the name of the person in the person object and return that name as a simple string in a field in the entity.
I could then put that collection on a Browse screen and the end-user could search for the person by name.
Again, I would only do this after exhausting all other alternatives because I imagine there would be a performance hit to call into SharePoint to get the name on each row (which may be why LightSwitch doesn't do it)

(Video) LightSwitch Cloud Business Apps and SharePoint Workflows

You can create advanced enterprise applications when you incorporate Visual Studio LightSwitch Cloud Business Apps and SharePoint Workflows into your solutions. Microsoft SharePoint workflows are powerful, but the non-code version created with the SharePoint
Designer do not allow you to implement complex data bound business rules without making web service HTTP calls. You can make these calls to Visual Studio LightSwitch Cloud Business Apps.

How to Get user profile properties in provider -cloud hosted app in sharepoint online - office 365 using REST API?
any idea?

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:

Cloud business app and document sets

we have a cloud business app connected to our office 365 tenant
when we create an entity we would like to create a document set in a specific document library, is this possible for the created event on the entity or do we need to run a server side action ?
how would we go about this?
mrP

I would use the server-side _Inserting event. See:

Documents and Cloud Business App

based on this
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/officeapps/archive/2014/03/18/integrating-documents-into-cloud-business-apps.aspx
Are you limited to files less than 1.5MB ?
is there a way to get this working using REST so we can upload bigger files?
thanks
MrP

HI MrP,
For Cloud Business App, we can use the new
document library integration support in the March 2014 Update.
For HTML application, we can integrate document libraries into your application like
this.
But I didn't find that there is a limitation to file size for this.
Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.

Hi Dave,
you seem to be the only one who tries to communicate with us which is great:-). I think it doesnt make much sense to ask if we develop any new apps in Lightswitch. You should probaby ask something like "would LS be a tool of your choice for a new project
if LS and mainly SL was actively developed and supported?". And my answer would be YES, YES, YES, definitely YES, because LightSwitch (I mean it's SL client) is by far the most productive tool I've ever used. For HTML development there are other tools
and frameworks, more mature and more flexible and most of them are for free. To be honest, LS HTML client is (compared to the SL one) just a bad joke - doesn't expose computed properties, default values, localization is poor...(just few main reasons) but the
main reason why I actually bought LS was that I wanted to get out of that HTML+JS+CSS+bunchofothertechnologies messy hell. Instead of it LS offered a consistent environment with ONE language of my choice (no matter if VB or C# - both are great
anyway). So I didnt hesitate and put my money and effort into it.
Well, from the current point of view it was the worst decision I've ever made in my professional life.
Best regards

Is there a way to not allow an employee to send texts on the business iPhone using their personal iCloud account?

I work for a company that issues business iPhones to our sales representatives so that they can easily communicate with our customers in their territories and have access to many helpful resources.
One of our sales reps recently went on to work for a different company (our competition). When we were getting his company phone ready for the next representative that would take over his territory, we discovered that he had been using his iCloud account to text customers for the past 2-3 months instead of the phones number. Unfortunately this means he still has access to all of our customers via his personal iCloud account, and they are probably still texting him for their product needs.
We aren't sure if this was intentional or not, but is there anything we can do to keep things like this from happening in the future? A way to keep the sales rep from using their personal iCloud address to send and receive texts on the company phones?
Thanks!

Using Sharepoint as an archival and document management

Hello,
I was asked by my manager to look for possible solutions to convert our archive paper file cabinets that are full of student records into digital format. We do not utilize sharepoint yet at the school but I was researching and found that sharepoint does a good
job in archiving and content management. The ultimate goal for us is:
1- to be able to scan the documents in the file cabinets and save them into folders on sharepoint. We want to be able to create a folder under a specific students' name and then scan all documents related to that student into that specific folder.
2- Give permission to specific staff members to access and search for docs by student name.
I wanted to ask if and how this is possible to achieve by Sharepoint knowing that we have an estimate of 120,0000 paper docs to scan.
I would much appreciate your help.
Thanks!
Nancy

Creative Cloud Desktop App Does Not Work

Since the last updates, the Creative Cloud Desktop app no longer works. That is, I can no longer sync files, upload files, or update apps. Everything with the Creative Cloud Desktop App used to work fine. I am using Windows 7, 64 Bit system.
The files I try to upload through the desktop app, are under 5 GB. Some are 10 MB. When I try to upload a file I get a message that says: Sync Failure - with no detail about the failure.
When the app tells me there's an update(s), when I either choose one update or update all I get a message that says: Update Failure - with no detail about the failure.
I have tried to solve this problem by turning file and font sync off and then back on, or logging out and then back in.
The Abobe Team, should test this product further. I just want the community to know that this product does not always perform as expected. Therefore, it's not always reliable.
I would upload some screen shots, but after pressing the camera icon, the images would not insert.
Any help would be appreciated.

OneDrive for business App- On premises installation (Sharepoint 2013)

Hi,
Just needed clarification regarding One Drive for Business application on iPhone/iPad.
When I connect to internal corporate network, the application works fine. However when I go on external network, it gives an error that 'You are logged in but we can't access your settings'. Is there something I am missing? Same with One Drive for business
application for laptop.
It also works fine when I connect my iPhone/laptop on VPN.
We are using SharePoint 2013 (on premises installation). Do I need to get some subscription for business in order to get the app working over the internet? I know we need Office365 or sharepoint online in order to get the app working but it works fine when
I am connected to internal network or VPN.
We do have a public IP and URL for One Drive which works fine on any browser from external internet. So the problem is only limited to the application on Apple and Laptop (windows). We are using TMG.
Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks

Hi aso,
You may want to check the authentication types for SharePoint on-premise site internal and internet access, some authentication types are not supported, you can check if it is the case.

Business Events using Oracle Apps Adapter

I am trying to use oracle.apps.per.api.person.update_person business event to get person data. I have followed the example mentioned in OracleEBSAdapterUserGuide(b_28351). I have specified APPS_WF_EVENTS_T.xsd as the schema.
Dev Environment:
JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 (windows XP)
Oracle Apps 11i (IBM-RS6000)
I am seeing two issues
1) Event is not being raised when we create or update person data. I have looked at the troubleshooting section and it mentioned that we need to make sure WF_Listener is running. But I don't know how to check for that.
2) It doesn't retrieve XML data if we manually invoke the BPEL process. It just gives me empty xml file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?><ns0:WF_EVENT_T xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/APPS/HrEmpUpdateListener" xmlns:ns0="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/APPS"/>
I really appreciate any insight on this and our client would be very happy if we can resolve this issue.
Thanks a million..
Srini

Hi Srini,
Even i have a similar requirement . Could you please send me the link for OracleEBSAdapterUserGuide(b_28351). ?
Did you come to know how to check whether WF_Listener is running ?
Thanks in advance
