Invalid XML returned for a user's Master Category list using Office 365 and EWS API (C#)

Hi all
Having a problem with one user's Master Category List. The Xml returned by the UserConfiguration call is corrupted (see below - superfluous /categories tag!) It is fine for other users.
Wondering if anyone has seen this before?
Thanks
James

If its only one user then its probably unlikely that EWS is at fault and what is happening is because its been corrupted in the MAPI property for Master categories list. (eg from the looks of some of the entries "Synchronised with Infinity" there is a third
party app they may have modified this list ?). Exchange doesn't validate what you try to post to that property so if something has posted bad data then that's what you'll end up with.
I would suggest you open the Master categories list in MFCMapi see
http://blogs.technet.com/b/outlooking/archive/2010/05/14/useful-tools-while-troubleshooting-outlook-issues-3-mfcmapi.aspx and verify what's in the property. If it looks okay in a MAPI editor and bad in EWS then it maybe a bug but you need to be able to
reproduce it with other users, more then likely you just need to delete the Master Caterogies list and start again for that user.
Cheers

User profile service office 365 and infopath

I'm having a very strange issue with the user profile service and InfoPath 2013 web form. I am using Office 365.
I created a data connection to pre-populate user information using the _vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx url.
I can get everything to work when I preview the form within the client, however when I publish the form to a form library I get this error.

For the Attribute Movement type(BWA) we use Value " 201" and not "101" why?

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario,
For the Attribute Movement type(BWA) we use Value " 201" and not "101" and provide the Source syst(backend R/3)
Can you all plz help me understand what is the difference if use value "101" for the Attribute Movement type(BWA)
Also,can you all plz help me understand if we shd use value "101" or "201" for the Attribute Movement type(BWA) and under what scenario.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
RKS

Hi,
Movment type " 201 maintained for the Classic scenario only.
It is necessary to maintain the attribute if the default material group for a given user (or) sit is set to a backend logical system. The EBP system knows that if the user is set for backend procurement ,that there might be a possibility for a reservation to be generated therefore it checks to see that a value for this attribute is maintained. The BWA value should be defined for the as 201 preceeded by the logical system and a backslash.
101 should not be used. This isfor the Good receipt.
In the extended classic scenario when you do the confirmations in SRM the movement type 101 will be created in the
backend system (R/3 or ECC6.0)

Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

Hi,
Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

Invalid xml document for BPEL Process.

Hi everyone,
I am getting below error after i set validateXML=strict
Invalid xml document.
According to the xml schemas, the xml document is invalid. The reason is: Error::cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '' is not a valid value for 'decimal'.
Error::cvc-type.3.1.3: The value '' of element 'ns1:p_person_id' is not valid.
Please make sure that the xml document is valid against your schemas.
Kindly help me with the steps. I am just a SOA admin, not developer.
Regards
Lammeki.

Ummmm Vikas,
Lemme bring out a better picture, so u get more clear on this one.
The developer has upgraded an already deployed BPEL process.
Since then, she has been facing problem. When she invoke those process they simply end up as faulted with a yellow color ! mark.
Now i as an admin, i tried everything to help her cos she escalated the issue to me, thinking maybe there is sumthing i could do to assists her.
Now i am not sure, how to help her, but yes i started with the logs. Both the oc4j container log for SOA and the domain log show the similar error.
But till then, i didn't know black and white of it. so i tried doing all testing possible from my end.
When i check on the faulted instances i see there is a Assign activity after Transform followed by Invoked being highlighted in red color. and when i clicked on it i get to see the error

The main problem was we were observing many SOA inactive threads in one particular database, and they keep building up minutes by minutes.
I suspect, that in the code connections were open but were not closed, there4 there were inactive threads in the database.
I had to stop the SOA application, to stop threads from building up. I guess they got build up when they were invoked. There is definitely some fault with the code. or tell me am wrong. tell me its sumthing else.
However other domains processes were working fine.
and oh, yes the developer also made changes in the database. when i asked her to revert back and see if it works, she say thats a huge amount of work.
Finally she end up saying that maybe it could be a problem with the new version.
Now as a learner, I want to know what is going on, and how do we go about solving it.
Am not much of a SOA techie. that u can make out. but yes ready to learn things. so there4 i beg you to explain to me like am a standard 3 or 4 kid. any more information needed plz feel free to write back.

Accessing xml forms for anonymous user

Hi all,
Is it possible in any way to use the "news" made with XML-Forms on an External Facing Portal?
I have created one page in XML form builder and assigned that page for anonymous user. Initially that page is visible to anonymous user. If i click any rendered list item it's asking Authentication-Information. Isn't it possible to let them read the News without authentification?
i have set all permissionsm for anonymous users?
How can i solve that problem.
Thanks& Regards
Hemalatha J

Hi,
this is possible. Please have a look at note 837898 first. But this note doesn't solve it completly.
By default the xmlformpreview-servlet which is used to display the news is not accessible for anonymous users. Try this:
- Create an iview in the pcd (any locaation) from par com.sap.km.cm.par and component xmlformpreview
- set the authentication scheme to anonymous
- give anonymous users permissions in the permission configuration of the iView
- open the iView in Preview Mode and copy the url of the iview from /irj on (something like /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fxmlformpreview)
- Go to System Administration --> System Configuration --> Knowledge Management --> Content Mangagement --> Global Services (switch to advanced mode here) --> URL Generator service: set the iView-URL as the value of the "Preview Servlet" --> save
- test it

Autodiscover does not return UserSettingName.GroupingInformation for Office 365 through EWS

Hi,
I am using the following code to access GroupingInformation using AutoDiscover in Office 365.
AutoDiscoverService.GetUserSettings(Mailbox, UserSettingName.ExternalEwsUrl, UserSettingName.GroupingInformation);
This returns ExternalEwsUrl while GroupingInformation is blank. I have even tried using EWS editor and this property is not returned there as well. I have tried for user as well as room resources.
Looks like these properties were added to the latest version and are not available in earlier versions of EWS. I am using the latest version of this API
Can anyone please suggest a solution to this?

Hi,
Based on my research, the GroupingInformation property contains a value that is used to group the user's mailbox to maintain affinity when subscribing to notifications across multiple mailboxes. Mailboxes that have the same value and use the same Exchange
Web Services (EWS) endpoint can be grouped together to maintain affinity:

Is it possible to override the SecurityFilter class so that I can use it for my external app which is deployed in ToolsAndFramework and needs to validate for same user/password as is being used to log in experience manager?

I have created a java app and deployed in ToolsAndFramework of endeca and since that app can be accessed through a directl url so want to implement an security filter which will use the same user validation as is used in experience manager.

Sorry to hear that, but this forum is for us, users, and what you need is someone from Xperia Care to find your motherboard and send it back, I don't think it'll be possible to retrieve any data from a broken motherboard.

Anonymous User forms in Sharepoint 2013 Online (Office 365)

I'm using Sharepoint 2013 online with Office 365.
Is there any way for an anonymous user to communicate with the site using forms (preferably Infopath)?
There are many, many versions of this question on the web, but most answers seem to talk about features I just don't have in Office 365 Sharepoint - such as Application Management in Central Administration, which just isn't there.
The only feature I can find is the Excel Survey in Form Templates. This is at least a start, but what I really want is the ability for an anonymous user (a customer) to submit information into a Custom List using a form; or, second best, in an email (WITHOUT
having to have Infopath Filler installed). this is all do-able for a fully-subscribed user of the intranet site, but I can't afford to buy individual subscriptions for all my customers. Nor do I want them seeing each other's data, or accessing my intranet!
I have spent so long researching this and getting nowhere, and really need to know if it's just a straight 'no, it's impossible', or keep trying.
Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to enable anonymous user with forms in SharePoint 2013 Online.
There is a Sandbox solution from CodePlex, it manages anonymous access on Office 365 / SharePoint 2013. Please have a try.
https://anonymous365.codeplex.com/
In addition, I am not an expert for SharePoint 2013 Online, I suggest you create a new thread on SharePoint Online forum, more experts will assist you with SharePoint Online.

SP 2013 Client Object Model: What credentials to use for Office 365 and sites behind ADFS 3.0?

I'm using the SharePoint 2013 Client Object Model to access a site that is either in Office 365 or behind an ADFS 3.0 login screen, is it sufficient to use the new SharePointOnlineCredentials credentials
or do I need other types of credentials for the sites behind ADFS 3.0 ? Is so, what type of credentials would I use for the sites behind ADFS 3.0?
using (ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(siteUrl))
ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("some user", "a secure string password");
while (ctx.HasPendingRequest)
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
// etc.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know the ways to get credential either in Office 365 or sites behind ADFS 3.0.
For Office 365, you can use SharePointOnlineCredentials Object to get credential. For SharePoint sites behind ADFS 3.0, you can use NetworkCredential Object:
ctx.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName, Password, Domain);
The link below will provide more information about using the ADFS FedAuth Token programmatically through the SharePoint Client Object Model:

How to access Sharepoint List using a Different user. Access SharePoint List using some Authentication

Hi,
SharePoint version 2010
I am building an application in Java and would want to accesss a SharePoint List through REST. I have been trying to find out how the authentication process would work once i want to deploy it into Production.
I am not able to find anything useful to send user detail / authentication. Can you please help me out here.
Thanks,
Bhaskar.
Thanks, Bhaskar

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to access SharePoint list from Java application through REST.
In some cases you may need to create a new access token (this is somewhat akin to "running as a different user").
Essentially, you are using a different user's security context. Typically, you would create an Active Directory account specifically for this purpose and then grant appropriate rights to the user account in SharePoint.

Users not syncing between Office 365 and CRM Online 2015

Hi,
I added a new user (In-cloud) to Office365 yesterday. Obviously the sync between Office365 and CRM Online 2015 is not working anymore. When trying to log in to CRM it says "You are not a member of this organization". The user is Global Administrator.
I waited for over 14 hours now, so I think waiting for the sync to start is not an option anymore.
Also, I do not use security groups to specify users which should be synced.

Did you actually give that user a CRM License? Just adding them to Office 365 does not add them to CRM.

I expect to use Project Pro for Office 365 (the streaming version).
What are the residual traces of files that this software may leave on the local HDD ?
Thanks

If I understand well, Project Pro for Office 365 (the streaming version) doesn't install itself locally, so we can use it on any computer. I'm wondering if it doesn't leave some dll or Global.MPT on the HDD after we quit Project.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home button (bottom centre) and Sleep/Wake button (top edge, right) down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
