Create Alerts using CSOM/REST in O365

Hi,
Is there any CSOM/REST API for creating alerts in Office 365 environment?
-Thanks
Nilesh Jain

Though the “Alerts” property of SP.User object is not available in Client Object Model for SharePoint

Select option "Show this View : in Folder of Content type : {Custom Content Type Name}" while creating view using CSOM

Hi,
I am trying to create "View" in a Document Library and need to enable following:
1. Mark as default View
2. Folders -> Show this view : in Folders of Content Type : {Custom Content Type name}
I am using following code which sets "in Folders of Content Type : " to "Folder" rather than selecting custom content type despite passing Content Type ID of custom content type.
code:
var itemContentTypes = clientContext.LoadQuery(web.AvailableContentTypes.Where(ct => ct.Name == viewContentType));
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
var itemContentType = itemContentTypes.FirstOrDefault();
view.ContentTypeId = itemContentType.Id;
view.DefaultViewForContentType = true;
view.Update();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Please highlight what seems to be missing?
Thanks
Sonal

Hi,
Before you set the content type ID for the view, you need to add the custom content type to the library firstly.
You can add the content type to library using OOTB feature “Add from existing site content types” in library settings or using Client Object Model.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
var list = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listTitle);
list.ContentTypesEnabled = true;
var contentType = context.Site.RootWeb.ContentTypes.GetById("0x0120");
list.ContentTypes.AddExistingContentType(contentType);
context.ExecuteQuery();

How to create a campaign based on a template using the REST API

Hi CodeIt-ers,
I'm using the REST API to create campaigns in Eloqua 10, all works well except for 1 thing: I can't seem to create a campaign based on an existing Campaign template.
Based on the documentation on REST API - Accessing Campaigns I've tried using "sourceTemplateId" (code snippet below) but that did not do the trick.
Does that functionality simply not work or am I missing something?
Thanks!
Ferry
$campaign_data = new Campaign();
$campaign_data->sourceTemplateId='442';
$campaign_data->folderId='1137';
$campaign_data->currentStatus='draft';

Hi Richard,
Unfortunately no. I reached out to support, they informed me "sourceTemplateId" could not be used to create new campaigns based on a template, instead they advised to use the "Elements " property as shown in this example: Eloqua REST API - Create a Campaign with a Segment and Email
Thanks
Ferry

Use CSOM to create a Site column of type "enterprise keyword"

I have successfully created site columns using CSOM.
When I look at the available types of site columns I can see
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/site-column-types-and-options-HA010302196.aspx
But there is nothing similar to what you can do when you go into list settings and say "Add an enterprise keywords column and enable keyword synchronization"
What is the data type for the enterprise keywords column? why should it be directly added into the list via the UI... but not via a site column?
val it: unit=()

Hi,
The following code(Client Object Model) for your reference:
static void Main(string[] args)
string siteURL = "http://siteurl";
ClientContext context = new ClientContext(siteURL);
//specific user
NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
context.Credentials = credentials;
FieldCollection fields = context.Web.Fields;
Field field = fields.GetByTitle("Enterprise Keywords");
context.Load(field);
context.ExecuteQuery();
//field schema xml
string fieldSchema=field.SchemaXml;
//update the schema of Enterprise Keywords field
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(fieldSchema);
XmlNode node=xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Field");
XmlElement Xe = (XmlElement)node;
Guid fieldID = Guid.NewGuid();
Xe.SetAttribute("DisplayName", "Enterprise Keywords1");
Xe.SetAttribute("StaticName", "TaxKeyword1");
Xe.SetAttribute("Name", "TaxKeyword1");
Xe.SetAttribute("ID", "{" + fieldID + "}");
fieldSchema = xmlDoc.InnerXml;
//add this field to the field collection
fields.AddFieldAsXml(fieldSchema, false, AddFieldOptions.DefaultValue);
context.ExecuteQuery();

How to POST (create) a folder using CMIS REST in Webcenter

Has anyone tried to create a new folder using CMIS REST/Atom calls in Webcenter ?
Here's what I try to do:
http://172.31.100.150:7001/cmisrestprelim/cmis/children/MyContentServer ==>POST (using the REST client plug-in in Firefox)
Content-Type=application/atom+xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
xmlns:cmisra="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/restatom/200908/"
xmlns:cmis="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/">
<title>mytestfolder</title>
<cmisra:object>
<cmis:properties>
<cmis:propertyId propertyDefinitionId="cmis:objectTypeId"><cmis:value>cmis:folder</cmis:value></cmis:propertyId>
</cmis:properties>
</cmisra:object>
</entry>
This piece of code should create a folder called "mytestfolder" in the root directory.
When I POST this, I get the following internal server error:
<pre>javax.servlet.ServletException: com.sun.jersey.api.container.MappableContainerException: com.bea.content.RepositoryException: Please specify a valid ID object. Make sure the repository name is not null.

Anyone has an idea how to solve this ?

I must admit that I'm fairly new to all the CMIS and REST-things....
So there are a couple of things in your answer that are a bit hazy to me.
It looks like you are more familiar with all this.
How do I find a creatable folder ? And what should be the URI to POST a new folder ?
I try to POST a new folder using this URI:
http://172.31.100.150:7001/cmisrestprelim/cmis/children/MyContentServer/IDC:Folder%2F13
(IDC:Folder%2F13 is the /Contribution Folders/Documents folder in my repository)
This POST keeps me giving the following internal server error:
<pre>javax.servlet.ServletException: com.sun.jersey.api.container.MappableContainerException: com.bea.content.RepositoryException: Please specify a valid ID object. Make sure the repository name is not null.

Create custom web-part page with OOTB page layout using CSOM (Javascript)

Hi,
I need to create a custom webpart page with a OOTB page layout (eg. Header 3 column footer) using JSOM.
I found a link to do this using CSOM: http://spdevlab.com/2013/03/28/creating-wiki-web-part-and-publishing-pages-via-csom-in-sharepoint-2010/
But here i have to copy the page template from 15 hive and store it in a resource file and I am also getting error as "The request message is too big" and to fix this I need to run a powershell script but I need the code to run in SharePoint online
also.
Isn't there a simpler piece of code in which I can enter the name of the page layout(OOTB/Custom) while creating a page in JSOM as we have in SSOM?
Thanks for the help
sunny

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a custom web part page layout template.
There are some articles about how to create the custom web part page layout template, you can refer to them.

I tried to create field in Account using /API/REST/2.0/assets/account/field, but got HTTP 400-"Request contains a message that does not conform to the contract."
        "constraint": null,
        "detail": null,
        "field": "permissions",

        "value": "fullControl"
I refered http://secure.eloqua.com/api/docs/Static/Rest/2.0/doc.htm#AccountField for AccountField API.
As mentioned in API, permissions is of type InstancePermissions and has valid values as read,write and fullControl.
Here is my sample request for creating account field.
"name":"employee_office_address",
"description":"field created for office address",
"permissions":"fullControl",

Why I am getting this error? Am I doing something wrong here?
Also, how will I able to know which field are mandatory and which are optional for making AccountField call?
Could anyone please share information on this ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
To retrieve data from list in your provider-hosted app using SharePoint Client Object Model(CSOM), you can follow the links below for a quick start:

Sub-Project Creation using CSOM in project server 2013

Hi All,
We are able to create a project using CSOM, we would like to create a sub project and template too, however we are unable to set the project type.
am I missing anything? Any pointer will be helpful.
Thanks in Advance,
Ritesh Gade

As of 12/30/2013, I don't see anything in the REST\CSOM that allows you to create a sub project off a top level project. At the moment, you can't do this via Client APIs and must use Project\PWA to do it. You can use this tool to find what
is supported:

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);

Retrieving list items from a specific view using CSOM

How can I query a specific view of a SharePoint List using the C# CSOM? I am dealing with SharePoint Online, so the only option is to use SharePoint.Client.
I have done this using Javascript, and I know how to do this with SharePoint On-Premises, but I haven't found a way to do with for SharePoint online using C#.

hi Dkhouri,
thanks for posting your issue, you can create a specific view of a list using CSOM and C#.
Kindly find the code snippet below fort he same.
Code for CSOM :-
// Starting with ClientContext, the constructor requires a URL to the
// server running SharePoint.
ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http:SiteUrl");
// Assume the web has a list named "Announcements".
List announcementsList = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Announcements");
// This creates a CamlQuery that has a RowLimit of 100, and also specifies Scope="RecursiveAll"
// so that it grabs all list items, regardless of the folder they are in.
CamlQuery query = CamlQuery.CreateAllItemsQuery(100);
ListItemCollection items = announcementsList.GetItems(query);
// Retrieve all items in the ListItemCollection from List.GetItems(Query).
context.Load(items);
context.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (ListItem listItem in items)
// We have all the list item data. For example, Title.
label1.Text = label1.Text + ", " + listItem["Title"];
For C#
public CamlQuery CreateInventoryQuery(string searchSku)
var qry = new CamlQuery();
qry.ViewXml =
@"<View>
<Query>
<Where>
<BeginsWith>
<FieldRef Name='SKU' />
<Value Type='Text'>" + searchSku + @"</Value>
</BeginsWith>
</Where>
</Query>
</View>";
return qry;

But in the alert inbox I am not getting the an alert error message which is passed to alert catagory in control step of BPM. Can anyone please let me know what may be the possible solution of it.
I have done the below configuration:
Configuration done in Alrtcatdef transaction:
Created an alert catagory
assigned the fixed recipient
click the dynamic text button in alert catagory property.
Configuration done in BPM:
Used the Control step.
given the Alert catagory name,action and the alert error message.
Please let me know the solution soon.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

HI Bhavesh,
I have referred the michal weblog and I have done the same step except the container operation step.
My requirement was to send the hard coded error message to the alert catagory so I didnt used the container operation step.
In the Control step I have hard coded my error message.
But still it is not showing in my alert inbox.
Can you please let me know is there any other settings needs to be done.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

Setting SharingCapability property for a Site Collection using CSOM in C#

Hello,
I am trying to deploy multiple site collections in a SharePoint 2013 Online tenant, using CSOM in C#.
I am currently using the SiteCreationProperties to do this, but I miss one crucial parameter : SharingCapability.
Do you guys know a way of activating external sharing for a site collection in CSOM ?

I believe you can set the SharingCapability of the Site after you create it. You can use the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.TenantAdministration.Tenant.GetSitePropertiesByUrl(siteUrl, true)
This returns SiteProperties object with a SharingCapability property you can set with the appropriate enumeration. Then call the Update method.

How to use search REST api to get custom managed property data for anonymous user?

I am trying build a public portal with anonymous access and i am trying to read some
content from custom managed property using search REST api in sharepoint 2013. I have tried to enable all possible attributes of the managed prop. Like searchable,queryable,safe etc. also i am including queryparametertemplate in my REST api search query. But
still i am not able to retrieve the managed prop. For an anonymous user. The same query returns the value if i am logged in.
Any Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rakesh
Thanks, Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,
To enable anonymous Search REST queries, we need to create queryparametertemplate.xml and upload it to the correct library in SharePoint.
From your description I can know that you have created the file, then I recommend to check the things below:
Please use “QueryTemplatePropertiesUrl” instead of “queryparametertemplate” in the Search REST API query as following: &QueryTemplatePropertiesUrl='spfile://webroot/queryparametertemplate.xml'.
Make sure that the Query Properties you need have been added to the QueryProperties element in the queryparametertemplate.xml file.
Make sure that the query parameters you need have been added to the WhiteList element in the
queryparametertemplate.xml file. For example, if you want to use Refiners in the REST API, then the Refiners should be added to the
WhiteList element in the queryparametertemplate.xml file as following:
<a:string>Refiners</a:string>.
You can also debug setting properties in anonymous Search Rest queries following the link below:

Creating alert at run time

Our current forms use the MESSAGE built-in to display
error messages. When people are doing data entry and a message
comes up, they might hit the enter key as part of their
processing and never see the message. What we want is
an alert-type screen that has more than one button so that
we can place the focus on something other than OK in order
to make it more difficult for them to miss the error message.
Something like this:
while key pressed != 'OK'
loop
display message
end loop
With this scheme they would have to change the focus from the
non-OK button, ensuring that they have seen the message.
An alert would work just fine for this. In order to make
the integration of this new message processing easier we had hoped
to put the creation of the alert and the loop in a .PLL file so
the only change to the application would be to change MESSAGE to
NEW_MESSAGE in the application's code.
I can't find any documentation on creating alerts at run time.
Is there a way to do that, or some other ideas on how to handle
this situation?
The applications run in a noisy environment, so having the
application make a different sound might not work.
null

You just need one alert created in each form, rather you can reference one alert from a template and change the alert text runtime.
Look at set_alert_property.
