Using Web API and MVC to connect to CRM and ADFS

Hi,
I'm struggling trying to find best point start for a migration project.
I have a web forms application that connects to CRM 2011 (Azure VM, Windows Server 2008 R2) using ADFS 2.1 (Azure VM, Windows Server 2012) for CRUD operations.
An external developer has build the front end in AngularJS, so we have decided to migrate the project to MVC framework for the integration simplicity over web forms.
Can you confirm if this is right?
1. Should I use Web API as I'll be querying CRM?
2. Should I have an MVC project as I need to authenticate against ADFS 2.1?
3. If one answer of the above questions is NO, can I develop just an MVC or Web API project to achieve what I want?

This forum supports setup of the .NET Framework itself.
For best help with your MVC questions, I suggest you post here:

  • Problem when using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT and passing in lexical parameter

    Hi,
    I got a blank page with error "An error has occured while trying to use this document" when I tried to use web.show_document and passing a lexical parameter to 10g report on 10gAS. The URL in the web.show_document is:
    http://<srvname>:<portnum>/reports/rwservlet?server=repserver90&report=myrpt.rdf&destype=Cache&desformat=pdf&userid=<usr>/<pw>@<db>&where_clause=where%20product_type%20in%20('REPORT')
    If I change the desformat to htmlcss, it is fine to display the report. But doesn't work with desformat=pdf. The pdf file has been generated in the cache. Why can't it display on the screen.
    Also I tried to use double quote the value for where_clause. The pdf report showed up. But it ignored the where clause.
    Experts please help.
    Ying

    I use lexical parameters and they work fine, but I use a parameter list. The code is contained in a form that is called by all forms that wish to run a report. This way you only need the logic for printing in a single form. If you want the form, email me at [email protected]

  • To generate PDF using BI APIs and loadjava utility

    Hi All,
    I am trying to generate PDF using BI APIs(FOProcessor etc).
    I have generated XML data through the PL/SQl procedure and storing it in a file. This file is loacted in database tier.
    The APIs is used through a simple java program which is application tier. To test the process, I had to manually provide the XML file to the java class in order to generate PDF and it does generate.
    Now the issue is I need to load the java class to the database so that everything gets automated(loadjava utlility).
    when i try to do it, it give no class found error.
    Do I need to load the referenced classes in the java file , that is, FOProcessor,RTFProcessor,FOUtility,jdbc.driver.OracleDriver as well?
    If the above is not possible, is it possible to reference a file in database tier from application tier so that i can use the XML file as input the java class in application tier.
    thanks,
    Srik

    The only reason I am responding to this post is because the poster sent me a request through the forum message system asking for my help.
    Although I did populate PDFs with FDF data generated by web forms a year or so ago, I have since abandoned that kind of solution. It was a big headache. I found it far more stable and flexible to use html, php and css to populate forms that are almost as nice looking as PDFs.
    So my advice is, if you can possibly avoid going the FDF/PDF route, you will be better off.

    If I run the neutron CLI command from my local Macbook Pro, it works just fine. That leads me to believe it is a communication error when the controller node tries to talk to itself. I have tried setting the OS_AUTH_URL and OS_URL to both the localhost IP and the 10-network IP address -- both result in the same error.
    Any ideas?
    Chris

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for checking out VMware Integrated OpenStack and for sharing your concern.
    By default, VMware Integrated OpenStack uses a self-signed certificate, which will require the use of the OS_CACERT environment variable in your openrc file and when using the API.
    The better way to resolve this is to use a CA-signed certificate.  Fortunately, VMware Integrated OpenStack makes the CSR generation and signed certificate import process very easy.
    If this is production, of course, use a trusted Root CA.  If this is a Dev Lab, you can generate your own Root CA certificate and use it for testing.
    I wrote up a quick blog post on how to do this.
    Let us know if you have any further questions.
    Regards,
    Trevor

  • Using DI API, getting error when connecting to database:

    The server is 2003. The sqlserver is 2005.
    We have a button that calles the DIapi function Connect().  He gets the following error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'N' to data type int.
    We then tried to connect into another database in SAP we got the following error:
    1).[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'UDOXX_Contract to data type int.
    There is a user-defined object called 'UDOXX_Contract', but our Add-On does not use any user-defined data object, so that must be from another add-on.  I really dont know anything about these user-defined objects.  Anyone have any idea what can be causing this problem, or what i can look at concerning this?
    thanks
    Bill

    Hi Bill,
    I am not sure why it is giving you the error messages and I have never seen these errors before. What you can possibly try is to see what SQL statements it is trying to execute. You can accomplish this with the SQL Profiler.
    Are you sure you're connecting correctly? Please post your code for the connection here.
    Hope it helps,

  • How can I use web-console and element inspector simultaneously in Firefox 20+ as I could in Firefox 19-?

    Yes, new web-developer all-in-one tools are total mess.
    I didn't find the answer to this question either https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955612 but downgrade to Firefox 19.
    But nor in Nightly, nor in Aurora, nor in Firefox Beta, nor in Firefox 20.0 I can use simultaneously web-console (where I test some style changing javascript code) and element inspector (where I instantly observe a reaction to my code). The only option I see is to switch every three seconds between them. How can I fix this except downgrading?

    You can consider to use the DOM Inspector extension instead of the built-in Inspector.

  • API to generate password using Siteminder API and the password policy

    Is there any API in siteminder to generate a password using the Password policies defined ?

    Hello Jim,
    The way you are going about your coding sounds correct.  Per your second question, MAX installs when you update the computer drivers.  To do this go to ni.com/drivers, search for DAQmx, and then download the most current version of DAQmx that is compatible with your computers.  By installing a newer version of DAQmx MAX will automatically be updated.

  • Oracle Maps API and ADF

    Tried posting this on the Mapviewer board, but that group is d-e-a-d.....
    I'm trying to build an ADF application using JDeveloper around the Oracle Maps API.
    I don't have a lot of experience with either, so this is probably an easy one.
    Does anyone have an example of using a panelStretchLayout with the div that contains the map? I've been fighting for several hours trying to get a map that auto stretches when the user expands the browser window. I tried putting the div that contains the map in a panelGroupLayout, but I can't seem to get the map to resize when the browser resizes. I've read the rules about when a panelGroupLayout is strechable, and when it isn't.
    Is there a best practices for this? Seems like anyone building an ADF app around the Maps API would need this.
    As always, thanks for the help

    Hi !
    I came accross this tutorial in Oracle website.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/11/dvt/gant_chart_pivot_table.htm
    In my case I could not make the adding a map part work and got geoencoder connection error but maybe I am missing a point which you may solve.
    Hope it may help.

    Hi,
    there should be a result iterator in the Executables section which cotnains the result. If not, create it from the WS result entry in the DC palette. Once this iterator gets updated, you get the data from this iterator as it would be the case of a table accesses the WS
