How does sharepoint designer create item in list work ?.

I'm using sharepoint 365, and the free sharepoint designer.
I'm trying to make something so that if List A gets an update other lists get new records to.
There is a sharepoint-designer action that lets one create a an item in another list.
And i have tested it a lot but haven't got any of my tests to work, been trying for a week now.
I'm not sure as how it is exactly named in English, since our sharepoint is al dutch :(
I think in English it looks like:
Create item in Yourlistname (save result in variable
Succes)
When clicking on yourlistname, you need the all valeus of all required items in the list.
Now asume such worklow rule is made to start after an Entry is made in List A, And we want to update List B
Here i start i think my problems
So you select List B as your listname, but then...
How does one refer, to a required link title from List A?. use current list item ?
How to link to a 4th table entry of List C as value to make in List B
If List A has a value that is clickable-link how to link that to Value B
If someone knows of problems with this, permissions things, or knows a youtube explaining it, or can explain it himself. It would be of great help to me.
Upon futher investigation, i got into problems where the workflow has to fill in an item
Into a column type that is a lookup table (another list), if work with string columns it works, but I need the current "name" as a lookup link connected into List B

Hi PGT,
I have seen a similar thread from you. The solution is that you need to work with Item ID's when you define the workflow to work with Lookup columns links. only at creation time you need to enter what field you like to include in your list. Based upon ID
it will then show the values. The thread is:

I will mark this reply as answer to close this case. If you have any question about this issue, please feel free to reply.

How does sharepoint designer create list item work ?.

I'am using office 365, and sharepoint-designer (not the pro designer).
There is a workflow rule that allows for creating items in another list.
What i need to do is that if someone creates an entry in List A
That List B gets an update too, based upon List A, and also a 4th list entry of list C (ea string containing "life cycle start").
The workflow with the "rule create item in list", i've set to "start automatically when a new item is created".
So far i've not been able to make it work, and the workflow Always suspends with vague errors, and since it is hosted i cannt do much with the errors.
Could therefore anyone point me to a good youtube explaining this function.
Or might possible point out what often goes wrong when people use this.
Maybe give some examples

Yeeha !!!
I got the first part working now; recap of howto:
First of all, before you create lists and columns write it down on paper, so you will be sure about what names you will give them, as renaming these kinds of things later, will only rename their view but not their old internal name, and as a result you
will get lost if you want to automate stuff later on.
So have you design ready (or in my case; delete current wrong site and start over clean).
Recap :
Using SharePoint designer:
Create List A, use titles as the field to enter product names (or whatever item you like to registrate).
Use the web browser:
Goto List A you just made and set the title column to contain (required) unique index names.
You can do this as Admin through list setting in the list top ribbon.
Create List B using Sharepoint designer (simple list)
In List B create a Lookup list to List A
And select it so that you would like to see the title column in it.
Using the web brouwser, make this column a required field (will become a (*) mark later).
Using SharePoint designer, select list A.
Select properties of List A, create a new (basic) workflow for it.
Here you would assume that you need to get the title in List B, but that's wrong
What one needs to get in List B a new to the current added Item in List A is the following:
Note that the workflow will run under the context of new Items who are added to List A
Create an action rule "Create list item" in the following list, and here select List B
The pop will show you some fields marked with a (*) as required fields.
Now the tricky thing is that is a reference to List A, and not a string.
So you might think its a GUID then or so, but no wrong again.
To get the link to the current List item A inside B.
You will have to link it to "Current Item" (remember the workflow started from list A )
And from the Current Item, you have to select the "ID" property.
Apparently ID is internally used as a reference.
Now whenever you create an Item in list A, it will be created in List B as well as a linked reference.
So for example in A you could add more columns, like serial ID or creation time of article A.
Then you don't have to add these into List B, as when people click on the hyperlink in List B they will be shown the details from list A.

2013 Workflows created in SharePoint Designer doesn't seems to work with retension policy!

Hi Guys, 2013 Workflows created in SharePoint Designer doesn't seems to work with retension policy but 2010 workflows work. Any One have any details resaon or workarround?

Hi ,
According to your description, I can reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint 2013.
For the Retention Policy, it will schedule how content is managed and disposed by specifying a sequence of retention stages. In SharePoint Designer Workflow 2013, we have looping option available. You can
use loop option and then pause for duration for achieving same function as Retention Policy to start a workflow.

How does SharePoint determine files are duplicates in search results?

In the search results, some files are grouped as duplicates (a hyperlink view duplicates appears under the search result).
How does SharePoint determines that 2 files are duplicates?
How does SharePoint determines the one that is shown in the search result (the 'main' file)?
Can we influence both?
Patrik | My Blog

I don't know if this helps, but I've been looking into the same problem that's come to light a few times during troubleshooting customised deployments of SharePoint recently. This is my understanding so far (paraphrased from http://blogs.technet.com/harikumh/archive/2008/11/14/some-interesting-facts-about-sharepoint-2007-search.aspx):
Document similarity or matching for the purposes of identifying duplicates is based only on a hash of the content of the document. None of the file properties are used in calculating the hash (i.e. things like filename, author, create and modify dates are not used). The SQL table MSSDuplicateHashes in the SSP’s search database holds all the 64bit hashes necessary to determine if one document is a near-duplicate of another against each indexed document. This table is read while doing a search to determine duplicates if removal of duplicates is enabled.

CSS: How does DNS Scripted Keepalive (ap-kal-dns) work?

Hello everyone,
I have a question about how does DNS Scripted Keepalive (ap-kal-dns) work on CSS 11503.
According to the "Using the CSS Scripting Language",
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/css11500series/v7.50/configuration/administration/guide/Scripts.html
it says
Since we just want to see if the DNS server is alive we will send a simple DNS Query. This query is hard coded in hexadecimal and sent raw to the DNS server.
and
Receive some unexplained response. We don't care what it is because an unstable DNS server or a non-existent one would probably not send ! us any data back at all.
but it also says
Failure Upon: 1. Not resolving the host's IP from the domain name
And according to the "How to Configure the CSS to Load Balance DNS Servers and Use the DNS Scripted Keepalives",
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_configuration_example09186a00801d015a.shtml
it says
The script is hard-coded to resolve www.cisco.com. It does not matter if the DNS server can resolve this address or not, as long as a DNS response comes back that the service is alive. This keepalive is only testing if a DNS server can respond to a query, not if it can resolve a specific name. The script queries from the CSS to DNS internal servers keep track of the availability of the DNS servers.
but it also says
Access to Internet Domain Name System Root Servers is required for successful implementation of DNS scripted keepalives.
So I am confused whether DNS server has to resolve the host's IP address correctly for DNS query received from CSS or just needs to reply any response but not need to resolve it.
I would like to recap about my question.
Q1: Does DNS Scripted Keepalive (ap-kal-dns) send DNS query with cisco.com as DNS name by default?
Q2: Does DNS server has to resolve IP address of cisco.com or just need to respond for DNS query with any response but not need to resolve IP address of cisco.com?
I understand I should get capture data and see how DNS scripted keepalive works, but I can not prepare lab environment to do it at the present.
Your information would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Shinichi

yes the query is for www.cisco.com and the script expect a reponse that contains the word cisco.

How does Sharepoint save documents?

Hi,
I want to know how SharePoint saves files from the point you hit the save button on a e.g excel document?
Does SharePoint save the file directly to its database on the cloud or does it save the file locally on the PC first before and uploads it?
Thank You in advance.
Regards Vukani Khumalo

Hi Vukani,
Files are uploaded from your local system to SharePoint Content database using SharePoint API.
if you are referring to Office web apps, and working within the browser then the file is not downloaded to your PC first.
You can use Rest / CSOM/ Server side API's to upload document and use these links to understand how it works -

How to drag and drop item from list to another item in list and change their positions

I have a list field with multiple items. I want to select one item from list and drag and drop to another item in the list
after drop item on another item the position of items should be change. (Example:- if I select 1st item from list and drag and drop this item to 4th item in list after drop that item position of both item should be changed 1st item on 4th position and 4th item on 1st position)
I don't know how to do this.Please help me to find the solution.

Hello Zoltan,
I do not believe that kind of option is built into the listboxes, but I was able to have similiar functionalities using property nodes. I have included an example program that I put together.
The big difference is that instead of dragging, you double click on the item you want to transfer. To highlight items as you go down the list, all you need to do is set the value to that list number.
Hope this helps you out!

How does Tree Finder creates the BPEL flow tree - using ORABPEL schema

I want to understand how does Tree Finder option on BPEL console gets the BPEL flow tree displayed ? How does the references to further BPEL processe instances get stored w.r.t the current BPEL process instance ? Which tables in ORABPEL schema are involved or store such references ?
Basically, I wish to get a similar tree given a BPEL instance id in my code. Pls help.
Analysis Done:
if I see the audit trail of the BPEl instance, it gives me an XML with multiple nodes having wikey and partnerWSDL elements. Does this partnerWSDL holds the key here ?
wikey="10011-BpInv0-BpSeq0.3-2"
wikey=<cikey>-<node_id>-<scope_id> [orabpel.WORK_ITEM]
Thanks.

Is it based on root_id/parent_id column in orabpel.CUBE_INSTANCE ?

How does the new "download additional fonts" feature works?

I'm so happy to see that the “download additional fonts” feature has added in the newest iWork suite for iOS. In previous versions of iWork for iOS, available fonts are only limited to those that iOS has built in, which you can see a complete font list here: iOS 7: Font list.
And a couple of days ago, I found that the iOS 7 is now support “download additional fonts for Apps” feature. Which means that Apps can download a Apple-provided list of addtional fonts if necessary. And we can find this list of font in that support page given above.
So if you edit a pages / keynote / numbers file on a Mac using some fonts that iOS hasn't, then when you open it on an iOS device, it'll download the fonts for you to make your document more beautiful and personalized. That is to make sure that the document has exactly the appearance that you wanted.
But here comes the question:
Sometimes, those addtional downloaded fonts are available for all the documents in that App, and sometime they are only available on that particular document. Any idea how does this function work? Is it a normal function, or is it a bug waiting to be fixed?
The downloaded "addtional fonts" are only limited to that App you're using. For example, you can access the fonts in which the App you downloaded them. So if you're using Pages to download fonts, you won't be able use them in Keynote. In other words, you have to download them again, and this will obviously take a large amount of storage space on my device if I want to use those fonts in every App. So again, is it a normal function, or is it a bug?
Any solutions, guys? A thousand thanks in advance!

This isn't totally new, as it was part of iOS 6 as well:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5484
But since it really only applied to Asian fonts, it was not of much interest to other users.
Could you give an example the fonts not being available in other documents in a particular app?
I think confining the extra font to individual apps would be considered by Apple to be their standard desired behavior and not a bug. It is the way iOS works in general.
Have you actually checked the amount of storage space these fonts take up? I doubt it is very large.

How does the Class javax.security.auth.Subject work?

Hi,
i don't understand how does the class Subject work.
First i will describe how do i understand u can use the class Subject
This is the way you can create a Subject(i think):
1. create a LoginContext, where u can tell over its parameter which
Module to use
2. a LoginModule will be used
3. now the LoginModule create a Subject
if this steps right--> ok, else--> please write how it really works
Now the questions:
1. Where do the LoginModule get the username and stuff like this from
to fill the Subjects? Principals?
2. Where will be the Subject save, at server or at client side?
when save on server: how to reference a Subject is belong to the
right Client?
when save on client: how to ensure the client do not modify it?
3. In the documentation of JavaTM 2 Platform Std. Ed. v1.4.1, there is
no advice, that the class have any FIELDS, but then where the
principals are saved?
4. The Class Subject do not have any methodes to modify the principals,
so how to modify it if necessary?
i think this is enough for the beginnig :)
thanx,
edo

Hi
Let me try to answer. I am a bit confused too.
Hi,
i don't understand how does the class Subject work.
First i will describe how do i understand u can use
the class Subject
This is the way you can create a Subject(i think):
1. create a LoginContext, where u can tell over its
parameter which
Module to use
2. a LoginModule will be used
3. now the LoginModule create a Subject
Correct.if this steps right--> ok, else--> please write how it
really works
Now the questions:
1. Where do the LoginModule get the username and stuff
like this from
to fill the Subjects? Principals?
The Loginmodule does not need the user name. The username is
only relevant to your application not to JAAS. Consider a standaalone
application. Whoever starts the application, becomes the user.
After you start the application, and login (whatever way), your subject
is created. This subject pertains to the person who is executing the application, not the application specific userid/username. So the user id or name is not required. There is only one user, who is running the application. The JAAS architecture is more relevant for UNIX like
permission/grant structure, which determines who can execute what.
>
2. Where will be the Subject save, at server or at
client side?
Again the Subject has nothing to do with your application specific userid. It will be there in the LoginContext. So in a sense a LoginContext is actually a user, not a Subject.
when save on server: how to reference a Subject is
is belong to the
right Client?
when save on client: how to ensure the client do
do not modify it?
In a client server mode, usually the login is done twice. You have to find a way to communicate the subject to the server.3. In the documentation of JavaTM 2 Platform Std. Ed.
v1.4.1, there is
no advice, that the class have any FIELDS, but then
en where the
principals are saved?
4. The Class Subject do not have any methodes to
modify the principals,
so how to modify it if necessary?
I think you can add Principals. That is definitely there.i think this is enough for the beginnig :)
thanx,
edo
Hope this helps. As of now I do not think JAAS provides a very good architecture for authorization.
cheers

How does the Daubechies-4 wavelet VI actually work?

Hi,
I'm a student currently working on my final year project, of which one of the objectives are to detect peaks of ECG signals (R-peaks) using the Daubechies-4 wavelet transform VI in LabVIEW. I'm current using LabVIEW 2013 student edition (6 months trail), if that makes any difference.
I am quite confused about how the Daubechies-4 wavelet works:
1) How many levels does it decompose the signal into?
2) Is there a way to set the level of decomposition?
3) Are filters already applied in the VI or do I actually need to design a filter myself?
4) What is the main difference between a Db4 PtByPt and a normal Db4 transform in terms of LabVIEW?
5) Finally, how does the VI actually superimpose the wavelet onto the signal? Does it take the entire signal into consideration or does it take each pulse into consideration when superimposing the wavelet?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
Regards,
Derren
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Derren,
Firstly, can you clarify the exact name of your 'Daubechies-4 wavelet transform VI' and in which pallette you find it in LabVIEW (i.e. which module / toolkit it is from)? It is also possible that the VI you mentioned is not from NI. For example, maybe you inherited that from your senior who was in the project last year.
Nevertheless, the closest match I can find is WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI found under the Advanced Signal Processing toolkit. You can choose db04 in the wavelet terminal. This is a bit different to what you described as the VI can work for different kinds of wavelet, not just Daubechies type. Suppose you will use this, then the answer to your questions are:
1) How many levels does it decompose the signal into?
2) Is there a way to set the level of decomposition?
You can set this by wiring the value to the level terminal of the VI.
3) Are filters already applied in the VI or do I actually need to design a filter myself?
Both options are possible. Some commonly used filters are included and you can choose this by wiring the wavelet terminal. You can design your own filter using Wavelet Design Express VI and wire the output to the analysis filters terminal of WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI.
4) What is the main difference between a Db4 PtByPt and a normal Db4 transform in terms of LabVIEW?
I can not find these VI you mentioned. Please clarify.
5) Finally, how does the VI actually superimpose the wavelet onto the signal? Does it take the entire signal into consideration or does it take each pulse into consideration when superimposing the wavelet?
I am not sure if I understand this question correctly. You can open the WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI to see how it works inside up to the decimation filtering, in which it is protected as a DLL. From what I see it takes the entire signal (modified with the chosen extension) for this main process.
As a last note, your LabVIEW Student Edition does not include Advanced Signal Processing toolkit, hence you will not find above VIs I mentioned. Try checking with your school if they have purchased Academic license of LabVIEW, which usually includes the toolkit.
Hope this clarifies.
