SharePoint Online Connecter (2 questions)

I am using this article as a reference:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-logic-connector-sharepoint/#creating-a-sharepoint-online-connector-for-your-logic-app
I had 2 questions:
1. I am testing out the SharePoint Online Connector and I had a question about editing the "Document Library
/ List Relative URLs" settings after the initial setup. I wanted to change my setting from the Shared Documents to a subdirectory for testing. Is there a place to edit this or do I have to delete and re-add the SharePoint connector ?
2. As a test I set it up where any time a new document was added to the Shared Documents it would send me an email. After I save it, it started sending me an email about EVERY document in the shared documents that already existed, not just new ones. Is there
a way to set the trigger to only be for documents going forward ?
Thanks,
Dave

Josh,
RE#2
Does the Archive Location parameter automatically move the item? Auto-Deleteing the item is scarey unexpected behavior, especially since it's completely undocumented at this point.
See:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e3583dc1-fc32-4ef0-8930-1f78ba298248/sharepoint-online-new-list-item-trigger-deletes-them-wtf?forum=AzureAPIApps
It would definitely be preferable to leave it where it's at. Even if we must set a field 'processed' and use a view which restricts 'not processed'. I think that's more consistent with how the SQL Connector polling works.
Thanks for listening.

Unable to Create Workflows with either SharePoint Designer 2010 or 2013 to our SharePoint Online Service

Hey there
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on our current issue using SharePoint Online (hope this question is in the correct place)
We are using SharePoint Online and I believe we are using the SharePoint Plan 1 for EDU - which I believe is the A2 Free plan.
I have being trying to get my head around the new changes (as we currently run a standalone 2010 deployment) and decided to see what workflow options I had. I had read to use SharePoint Designer 2013 with the online service and after installation opened
the package, connected to the site and tried to create a simple email workflow. I first saw a loading screen stating
"The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.Activities, Version 1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=731bf3856ad364e35.
Contact your server administrator for more information."
after this it tried loading some metadata and then I saw:
Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
I close SPD down and rebooted and then same happened again and continues too.
After research I applied a hotfix that was known to resolve the issue, but it still remains. I also tried running SPD in admin mode but the same still happens.
Lastly I tried selecting workflows 2010 from the drop down field when creating the workflow to see what happened. I go the same. I also keep getting the following as a pop from time to time.
The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c.
Contact your server administrator for more information.
I have also tried to do the same in SharePoint Designer 2010, but receive the same massages.
What should I be looking at or doing to help rectify this?
Regards
RDH

uninstalled Language Pack and it worked!
Uninstalling the Preview and installing SharePoint Designer 2013 resolved the error.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/74327.aspx
According to the link as linle provided, there are two deletions in local, please double check these two places:
1.Delete all folders in the following directory:
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache\
2.Delete the files in all folders in this directory:
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\ (don’t delete the folders, just delete the contents of the folders)
Then, try to create a new workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013 to see if it works.
You can first keep the list for the current status, and save it as a template which will be used to create another list.
1.Login and locate the associated list on your SharePoint Online.
2.Click List Settings under List tab, and click Save list as template.
3.Type a File name, Template name, select Include Content, and click OK. Click OK.
4.Click Site Actions->More Options->List.
5.Locate and click the newly saved template, type a name, and click Create.
Then, create a workflow in your SharePoint Designer 2010 associated to the new list to see if it works.
Moreover, please check if there are any maintenances on your SharePoint Online which may cause the issue.
1.Login to Office 365 Portal (https://portal.microsoftonline.com/).
2.Click Service Health in the left pane of Admin page.
3.Check the status of SharePoint Online

Reporting Services connecting to a PowerPivot Workbook hosted on Sharepoint Online

Hi,
we developed a PowerPivot Workbook and published on our PowerBI site based on a Sharepoint Online E3 subscription.
We use it to display PowerView Dashboard and analyse sales results.
On-prem we also have a Reporting Services (stand alone installation) server where we have reports the connect directly to our datawarehouse based on a MS Sql Server DB instance.
What I would like to do is to develop a report in SSRS that connects to the PowerPivot Workbook published on our Sharepoint Online/Power BI site.
I tried following the instruction in this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg413489(v=sql.110).aspx but using an URL like https://mycopmany.sharepoint.com/sites/BI/Documents/Workbook.xlsx and the correct Sharepoint Online credentials to access
the PowerPivot Workbook, I always get a "File Not Found" error.
I would like to know if what I would like to do is possible and how to do it.
Thank you,
Roberto

Is it possible to restrict access to individual SharePoint Online sites (or site collections) to users only connecting when on the corporate network?

Hi,
We have an Office 365 environment which is linked to our on premise ADFS environment. We have started to make some deployments of sites to our SharePoint Online environment. For the majority of sites this is great and the ability to access the sites
from anywhere is a real bonus. However, there are some sites and data that I would be much more comfortable in migrating to SharePoint Online if there were a way to make them only accessible via users/computers connected to the corporate network.
I have seen articles in how you can configure ADFS to allow all connections to the Office 365 tenant only from the network or not but what I am after is something which can be configured on a site by site basis (i.e. not the whole Office 365 environment
or SharePoint Online environment) to only allow access when connecting from the corporate network.
Any advice/help would be much appreciated?
Many thanks
Paul

Connecting to Sharepoint Online Access Web Tables - error - The business data connectivity metadata sore is currently unavailable

I have a SharePoint Online E3 site kbhp2-public.SharePoint dot com on which I have created an Access Web App. Now, I need to use an External Content Type to access the underlying database tables, which I understand to be stored somewhere
in Azure. The ID of the server is bxh1ixb9lo.database.windows.net and the ID of the database is db_9857fa7d_4bf1_4558_be8c_24543b041e2.
I have done the following so far:
Set Metadata Store Permissions
Created Secure Store credentials Mapping
But when I opened the SharePoint site in SharePoint Designer and clicked on External Content Types, I get the Message:
The business data connectivity metadata store is currently unavailable.
Any guidance you can give me will be greatly appreciated

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue to connect to the SharePoint online.
I had tested with your code, and it worked well as below.
Did your project contain other code? Such as parse the XML file?
You can create a new clean project to check with it works.

Data Connection to PowerPivot Workbook on Sharepoint Online

Hi, we have an on-premise Sharepoint environment where we publish PowerPivot workbooks that serve as the source database for pivottables in other Excel workbooks. Is there a way to do something similar with Sharepoint Online where we would upload
a PowerPivot workbook to Sharepoint Online and use as the source database for the pivottables in other Excel workbooks? Whenever I try to connect to the PowerPivot workbooks on Sharepoint Online, I get a prompt saying that access is Forbidden.
Appreciate the help!

Follow-up question about forms and SharePoint Online

I asked a question about life after InfoPath earlier, and got a good answer:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fb23b3d9-8a09-4267-aab5-09929f6a3082/life-after-infopath-seeking-advice
After looking at all of the limitations of SharePoint Online, I'm wondering how developers are dealing with the limitations. Lets say you are asked to develop something that has complex logic, including fetching data from external web services, dynamically
displaying parts of a process to people depending on role, and ending up with a printable document. In our on-premises environment, InfoPath is well suited to this task, with some code behind for some things. Or, if not using InfoPath, we would use application
pages and workflow.
Neither of those are available in SharePoint Online, so what would you do?

Some things, such as the conditional display of content, can be done via JavaScript. More advanced items, such as integrating external web services would likely require a SharePoint "app". A SharePoint app is essentially a link to a separate site
that is running an asp.net web app (or PHP, or whatever). This asp.net site can do anything it needs with any web services, or conditional formatting, or anything. Because it's registered as a SharePoint app, it can also call back into the SharePoint site
and work with data. So, a SharePoint App could present the user with a robust form that simply sends the data back to a SharePoint list. The SharePoint app can also be surfaced on the SharePoint site itself in an iframe, so the user won't know that the form
is hosted by another server.
By the way, the ideas behind the app model permeate the entire SharePoint environment: instead of having the SharePoint server itself run all kinds of custom business logic, that workload is handled by other servers, so the SharePoint servers can be focused
on running the core bits of SharePoint. InfoPath puts a large load on the servers, so it's out. XSLT list views also put a load on the server, so they're also out. SSRS is an amazingly fantastic tool, but is not supported in the cloud (and there's no
alternative). Timer jobs, event handlers, workflow, and many other things have been re-architected to take the load off the SharePoint servers.

The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive..Exception.Message - while executing powershell command for sharepoint online site

" +The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive..Exception.Message " OR sometimes
"The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable..Exception.Message"
Getting exception above when performing various operation (site coll creating, group creation, adding users to group) for sharepoint online (Office 365) site using powershell script.
I want to create 3500 site collections using PS script. In-between getting above exception so it will skip one site collection creating and working again. for eg. after creating 11 site coll, script will through above exception and so 12th site coll will
not be create but working fine from 13 and so on...

Remote server seems working to me...any additional check?
if problem with remote server then may be loop to create site provisioning should not start again..Right?
any idea?

Hi,
Based on your description, I have done a test and I can’t reproduce your issue.
I have used SharePoint Designer 2013 to open a SharePoint Online site and there are no issues.
I’d like to clarify whether you encounter any issues when accessing SharePoint Online sites. If there are no issues during the accessing procedure, SharePoint Online service should be working fine at your side. The issue may be caused by specific SharePoint
Designer client or network. I suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Use SharePoint Designer to open another site and check whether it is successful.
2. When you are prompted to enter Office 365 account and password, try other users’ accounts and select the remembering the credential.
3. Perform the connection procedure under another environment and verify whether the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, can you provide related screenshots for further troubleshooting?

How to consume the sharepoint online Library data to Excel sheet using ODATA connection. That ODATA connection file resides in "SharePoint Online -Data Connections Library"

I have created a OData Connection to my Library and published to SharePoint online site.
To refresh the data, property is set like "Refresh when opening file"
When I downloaded and open the file, the new data is consumed to me successfully because this ODF file referenced to my local computer
If any other user downloads the file its not opening as reference file points to my local machine.
I want to keep this ODF file in "Data connections" Library (or in any site/Library) and establish the connection to the excel sheet. so that any one can use the ODF file.
or else any other alternative to use ODF file globally and get the SP Library data to excel ?

Hi,
it will use the connection in the ADF library. I recommend though that you not save database connect information in the ADF library. Instead:
- define the ADF BC model to use JDBC data sources
- In the ADF library, configure it to only contain the data source name
- In the view project (the workspace) configure the database connection exposed by the library
When the library is imported, check Application Resources --> Connections and right click on the imported connection name to configure it

Connect to SharePoint Online Document Library from Excel

We have a number of people in the field who fill out fairly complex evaluation forms in excel. These forms are submitted to a document library in SharePoint Online
What I need to be able to do is report off these submitted excel files reading and consolidating specific data (they are all of a consistent format). There may be any number of excel sheets in the source document library
Previously I would have done this using VBA but I cannot find a way of connecting to a sharepoint online document library from excel vba - I am open to other options

Hi Karthik,
Per my understanding, there is an XML file contains attributes. You want to upload it to a SharePoint library as well as extract the values of those attributes to
save to the corresponding columns of the SharePoint library.
As it is an Online environment, a workaround I would suggest is that you can create a client application(such as Windows Form Application) to extract values from the
XML file, then upload the file to SharePoint library, submit the values to the same library afterwards. All this can be achieved using SharePoint Client Object Model.

1. Open VS 2013 and select Office/SharePoint > App for SharePoint (type the name) then click OK
2. I type in URL of the site (of course https://) and Select SharePoint-Hostedoption, then click Finish
3. I get the Office 365 authentication dialog box.
I type in the username and password and it opens the SharePoint in the same rectangular dialog box and it stays there and nothing happens:

Question about Sharepoint online ExcelService

Recently, I want to develop a customize app which need to get& save data from Excel which hosted on Sharepoint online. So I should use ExcelService web service(SOAP API). But when I use ExcelService.OpenWorkBook function based on Microsoft's guide,
system reports an error- "We couldn't find the file you wanted". Here is my code:
Status[] outStatue;
RangeCoordinates ranngeCoordinates = new RangeCoordinates();
string sheetname = "Summary";
string targetWorkBookpath = "XXXX";
es.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(userName, securePwd, "XXX.sharepoint.com");
es.SoapVersion = SoapProtocolVersion.Soap12;
string sessionId = es.OpenWorkbook(targetWorkBookpath, "en-US", "en-US", out outStatue);
So could you help me know:
1. Whether Sharepoint online supports ExcelService web service(SOAP API), or whether can I get/save excel data by using ExcelService web service?
2. Could you please provide me some related material or web reference to help me learn how can I get/save excel data by using ExcelService web service.
3. Because Sharepoint online is based on Office 365, so it's mapped to Https, I guess system need do user authentication, how can I can do it in my code.
