SharePoint Apps and custom web services as remote services

Hello,
After reading documentation about Apps for SharePoint compared with SharePoint solutions I did not find any information about "You
can develop your custom web services as remote services.".
Could you please give me links or advise, where I can get information - "How to develop custom web services as remote services" using SharePoint 2013 Apps?

Hi,
I would suggest you to use WCF service instead of Web Service,
also, SharePoint 2013 introduces a Representational State Transfer (REST) service that is comparable to the existing SharePoint client object models.
Get started with the SharePoint 2013 REST service
About develop custom web services as remote services,see Demo here:
SharePoint 2013: Custom REST service provides data to an app for SharePoint

Standard Web Service and Customized Web Services with or without PI?

Hi All,
I want to know how I can use Standard Web Service available in SAP and customized Web Services
without PI Interface?
And what is the best practice to expose services ,via PI Interface or directly?
Thanks in advance!!
Pushkar

This is purely based on your requirement. If you use PI middleware to expose web services, you get standard functionalities such as certificate authentication, logging, message reprocessing for the failed messages etc. If your requirement is so simple, then you might not need PI. In this case you can develop simple webdynpro for abap program to create webservice and expose the webservice in ECC webservice runtime. You can let anyone to consume within your network. other ways like exposing BAPI/RFC as webservice. I would recommend going with PI.

"Sorry, we couldn't find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?" Error with SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps

When I try to open any docx file from the SharePoint it opens on web via office web apps, and when I choose edit document > edit in Word , Microsoft word show me this error "Sorry, we couldn't find your file.
Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?" followed by half a url to the end users document on onedrive.
I noted that this problem only happens with Docx files, with specific users and only when you try to open the Docx file from OneDrive folder ( SkyDrive ) which is hosted in the MySite.
Any Help?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to open the Docx file from OneDrive folder ( SkyDrive ).
Since this problem only happens with Docx files, with specific users, I recommend to delete and recreate the personal site for the specific users.

SSL and custom domain configuration for cloud service

Hi,
I am doing custom domain mapping and SSL configuration for a cloud service web role. Another important aspect is Cloud service web role uses ADFS in between for authentication.
I have custom domain mapped, SSL uploaded on cloud services Certificates
tab in management portal, certificate .pfx and chaining certs .CER are added as below -
<Certificate name="UATCert" thumbprint="A" thumbprintAlgorithm="sha1" />
<Certificate name="Certificate1" thumbprint="B" thumbprintAlgorithm="sha1" />
<Certificate name="Certificate2" thumbprint="C" thumbprintAlgorithm="sha1" />
I see these certificates getting added properly to Azure cloud service web role instance VM.
The problem is, when I access the custom domain,
https://mysite.com/default.aspx in the browser ultimately after ADFS login I see
https://cloudservice.cloudapp.net/default.aspx. My understanding is, cloudapp.net should not be seen in the browser to the client. Also I keep getting error of certificates stating "There is
a problem with this website’s security certificate" when browser shows cloudapp.net url.
How can I avoid display of cloudapp.net in browser and show only custom domain Url. Also how can I avoid this certificate error ?
Thoughts?
http://sanganakauthority.blogspot.com/

Hi kunal,
Based what you described, I understand that you want to use the custom domain for cloud service web role and apply azure active directory authentication to the web role application.
>>>The problem is, when I access the custom domain,
https://mysite.com/default.aspx in the browser ultimately after ADFS login I see
https://cloudservice.cloudapp.net/default.aspx.
As for above issue, I think you should make sure you have registered the web application in azure AD both "SIGN-ON URL" and "Reply URL" are
https://mysite.com/default.aspx
>>>Also I keep getting error of certificates stating "There is a problem with this website’s security certificate" when browser shows cloudapp.net url.
Try to upload a valid certificate (provided by CA) to cloud service for your custom domain.

Can SharePoint Apps and SharePoint 2013 workflow run on the same servers?

As the SharePoint 2013 workflow manager can run on non-sharePoint servers. Can I also use those server to host SharePoint apps in the Provider host model?
Or should I keep them separate?
This is a medium size deployment, 2 WFEs, 2 Apps, 1 Clustered DB. I would be adding 2 additional servers for hosting workflow manager, and SharePoint apps.
One other option I can think of would be to host the Workflow manager on the SharePoint Apps servers. And then host the SharePoint Apps on the 2 separate servers.
Any guidance or gatchas would be great the hear about.
Thanks!
Joshua Fuente

Yes, you should be able to run SharePoint Provider hosted apps using the Workflow Server as the provider. There is nothing in workflow manager that prevents running web sites on the same server.

SP2013 Remote Event Receivers for Office365 and Custom Web Service

Hello I'm starting to work with remote event receivers for Office365 and I read that the RERs runs only as Provider-Hosted or Auto-Hosted Apps, so If I wanted to implement for example prevent to the user add items to some list, my question is :
is it needed an account in a platform cloud like Azure(to support .net apps) or have a custom server like IIS(with public IP, dns) in order to hosting my WFC service and to be able to manage the events registered into office365 ? or exist another option
to achieve this goal(prevent to users perform some actions) ? please, can you help me to clarify this ?....

Sharepoint list and custom add attachment form

Hello.
Is it some how possible to dynamically create a custom form, in an iFrame, with the action as "/_layouts/attachFile.aspx?ListId={12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012}&;ItemId=2" to add an attachment to a list item?
I tried different things but nothing seems to actually attach the file.
Or, can I override UploadAttachment() so when the user clicks a button it shows the file selector dialog directly and after they are done I get notified so I can do something?
Any ideas?
Use Case:
I have a list. The list has a title, description (memo), an image path, and a "read more" path. The image and "read more" path are single line of texts. The user would do one of two things: provide the URL to a file that is already online,
or click "browse" to select a file to be attached to the item.
It is that last part I need help with. I can edit the NewForm.aspx to add a "<input type='file'..." but I can't figure out what I need to do then.
I can't use the default attach item because I need to know what file is for what, image or "read more". Which is why I want a button for "image" and "read more" so that after the user selects a file I can store some details that
will later let me identify what file is what.
My plan was to override the "save" button so that my code runs instead of the default.
Then I would use SPServices to create the item.
Then:
- I can't use FileReader so I cannot use the AddAttachment web service
- I can't use the existing "/_layouts/attachFile.aspx" because it won't let me dynamically set the file path
- I can't seem to create my own form dynamically that would attach the file
- I can call "UploadAttachment()" but that changes screens after the user clicks "OK" I won't know so I can't save the details I need

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to add a button “browse” in the NewForm/EditForm, when clicking it, users will be able to select a file to be attached
the current item.
If this is the case, you can add the script below with the <a> tag into the NewForm/EditForm, then when user clicks the <a> tag, the OOTB file browse dialog
will show up:
<script type="text/javascript">
function AttachFile()
SP.Ribbon.PageManager.get_instance().executeRootCommand("Ribbon.ListForm.Edit.Actions.AttachFile", null, null, null);
</script>
<a onclick='javascript:AttachFile();'>browse</a>

Sharepoint Forms and Custom Lists and Workflows using Sharepoint Designer

I created a Custom SharePoint List with a custom work flow. Basically the list does the following:
Group A initiates the list, fills in all the information
Group A will check a box based on a Y/N question, the driver of the work flow is if the Y/N question is answered with an Y, then Group B will get a task assigned and an email notification will go to Group B to continue the work flow.
Group B will fill out information and check Y/N question, if answer is returned Y it will go to Group C via the same method as above.
What I need is as the form goes from one group to the next how can I make sure that Group C doesn't see the responses from Group B? How do I write this into the workflow?

I think now I can add screen shots to explain what I need to do better.
I created a custom sharepoint list. Users click on Add new Item and Group A will answer generic questions until they get to Continue to Dispute to IQ (Yes/no) Checkbox. If they answer Yes, the workflow will start and create a task for Group B
(IQ Group). Group B will answer 4 questions (IQ Responses, IQ Notes, IQ Name and Date). Group B will check Yes or No to Continue Dispute to QA (Group C).
See Screen shot.
What we would like for the workflow to do is based on the Yes or No check boxes (Continue to IQ or QA). If Yes is checked then the workflow will generate a task in the task list. We don't want Group B and C to see each other's responses. I set up a workflow
using impersonate steps, but am not sure if this is correct. Can you look at the workflow steps below and let me know if this is right?

Video Issues for Native YouTube app and all Web pages

Hello,
I seem to have a problem with my Sprint Palm Pre. All of a sudden Im getting an error of 'there was an error playing the file' for ALL Youtube file using the Palm Pre Youtube app. As well as all of the we sites that were working a few weeks ago.
Any ideas?
thanks,

Have you tried a restart from device info, reset options? This will resolve many problems and is the first thing I would try. I have not heard of any problems with the YouTube app. I have tested the YouTube app on my own Pre Plus an it is working without any issues. Have you installed any 3rd party (homebrew) apps? Some times this can cause a problem with installed apps.

How to assign file extension and custom icon to executable?

Hi all,
I was reading an old thread about this issue:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=116925
I need to try to do this. My application uses a custom file extension (i.e. .abc). Upon installation I would like to:
1. Assign My App and custom icon to the file class (extension .abc).
This could be done by manipluting the registry (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776856(VS.85).aspx)? This could be a problem with Vista s unless registry operations occur during installation any changes are placed in a VirtualStore, correct?
2. Enable the double-clicking of .abc file type to pass the data in the file to my VI (exe).
According to the File Handling Guidelines of Jean-Pierre Drolet (http://www.openg.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=File+Handling+Guidelines) the best way to do this may be using LabVIEW as an ActiveX server.
I know that when I build an executable (or installer?) there is the option to enable LabVIEW to act as an ActiveX server. This much I know I need to do.
I thought I would open this discussion again as others may be interested and there doesn't appear to be a completely clear solution available. Please do contribute where you can.
Cheers,
Battler.

How to register for ommand line event so that when a user double-clicks on a .abc file I can handle the opening of it?
This needs to work (the files need to open) not only when the application is closed but also when it's already open.
Anyone have ideas?
The solution to that is to implement a DDE server in your application (and add DDE entries to the registry on installation). There are still DDE functions in LabVIEW vi.lib\Platform\dde.llb but they are considered depreciated and have been removed from the palette, also because Microsoft is trying to tell everyone that DDE is depreciated and sort of unsupported too. But it is still the mechanisme to pass actions from the shell to running applications.
I hesitate to send you over to lavag.org where there have been some discussions about this years ago. If you go there you would do good to employ a friendly attitude. That board is run all by enthusiasts and idealists and they are all great folks but react not very friendly to people with an attitude.

Photoshop Elements 9 and Picasa Web Albums

I see in Photoshop Elements 9 a number of sites you can upload directly to (facebook, flickr, etc.). I don't see Picasa Web Albums in the list. Is there a way to configure this to work, even if there is no "direct" way by means of a button? Like, can you upload to it using the Online Album section, or is that only for photoshop.com?

You could look at a cloud client for your pc which maps cloud storage as a mapped drive
then export directly to it. I've been experimenting with gladinet http://www.gladinet.com using Microsoft Live and Picassa web as the cloud services. I've had some success with Microsoft live although it appears that the export process writes a temp file then renames it but the rename didn't work so I had duplicate image on MS Live. I has less success with Picassa, I had to export to a local folder then drag them into the mapped Picassa web folder. I think this was also a temp issue. The error i got was that Picassa would only accept specific fie extensions. I think this was trying to write .tmp files.
I have a couple of more things I want to try, I want to try exporting in original format, not converting to jpeg (this may fix the problem of writing temp files first). If this doesn't work the next thing I will try is to use a local dump folder and schedule a scripted to Picassa via the gladinet mapped drive.
I hope that has given you some ideas in how to get data into Picassa web,
RW

Remote Service - Configuring Destination - Scope attribute

I want to clarify my understanding that destination of Remoting Service if configured as "request" scope is safe to use in load balancer (having no session stickiness) with multiple web servers. Pls. note that there is no state maintained at server side for the calls.

Blend for Visual Studio's HTML/CSS WYSIWYG editor only usable for Windows 8 apps, NOT for web apps?

Hi there,
In the process of learning Visual Studio (VS) and ASP.NET, I initially thought that I could use Blend for VS's seemingly great HTML/CSS WYSIWYG editor to visually design the HTML pages and CSS for a web app developped with VS, whether it be with ASP.NET MVC
or Django (using Python Tools for Visual Studio).
But now it dawned on me that Blend for VS seems to only be meant to design HTML/CSS for native Windows
8 apps, and not
web apps.
Can someone confirm that this is indeed the case?
Thanks a lot in advance for clarifying this point for me.
PS: Maybe this a dumb newbie question, but from the outside, it seems rather counter-intuitive to offer a top-notch tool for web
standards (HTML/CSS) edition (Blend for VS), all integrated with a top-notch tool for web development (VS) but prohibiting the web developer community to leverage the productivity gains of both
the former and the integration. This is especially puzzling given that the latest components of the ASP framework (MVC, SPA projects):
- Pushes for reliance on HTML elements and CSS instead of ASP elements and Skin files;
- VS apparently also does not provide a visual design page view for ASP.MVC projects, which is sure to make many development teams wary of migrating from web forms to MVC.

I believe this the case, but I'm not familiar with asp.net development. As you point out: html is html so you can edit and copy the code. That said, the Windows Store apps forums are specifically about writing Windows Store apps. For discussion
of writing ASp.net apps and the best tools to use for that please post in the asp.net development forums on
http://asp.net.

This remote service is currently unavailable.

Hello,
One of my portlet says "This remote service is currently unavailable. Please try again later." Once awhile, this portlet does display. It isn't totally not working. I don't know what is causing this behavior.
Does anyone has any ideas what is going on?
Thanks,
-Dong Chen

Hi Dong Chen,
This error message is generated by the portal and not by the provider. Unless, you decide to create a service on your provider which would log messages sent to it, and write another service on the Portal end to send the error message across :) .. and if you are getting remote service unavailable, may be your portal is unable to contact the provider (may be due to a firewal, or something) and you will never be able to log the message in that case too.
thanks,
Harsha
