Web application platforms for Azure

I have an application that resides in Azure and consists of a SQL database, a website that serves as the UI, and a Web API that exists simply to provide data from the SQL database to the API. The UI is a lightweight SPA developed in Durandal and Knockout.
So far I have screens for retrieving data, but not for manipulating it. I'd like to develop a UI that hooks directly into the SQL database and makes the API unnecessary.
I have used SharePoint in the past and like how easy it is to build Web-based applications with it. I'd like to redevelop my UI as a SharePoint application. However, I do not want to set up an entire SharePoint farm for this. I've participated in the installation
of a SharePoint site, and I was overwhelmed by the administration.
I'm also a fan of wikis. I see that MediaWiki is an option. I'm concerned that it uses PHP and MySQL, two platforms that I am not that familiar with. I haven't installed MediaWiki and I don't know how easy it will be to interface it with a SQL Server database.
I also don't know whether MediaWiki provides data-entry forms. (I have used Wikidot for personal sites for several years. Wikidot provides markup that makes it easy to create data forms.)
Someone suggested that I create a virtual machine and install SharePoint Foundation in it. That could be an option if the cost is low and the amount of configuration needed is minimal.
What are my options?

Look into SharePoint Online. You don't have to setup SharePoint and SQL. You don't have to worry about upgrades. You can start coding right away. You just have to check to make sure it has the features you are looking for.

i solved the same problem while download the application server
via ftp
ftp ftp.oracle.com
cd /pub/www/oas/linux
get was302.tar.Z
If the connection is lost, you can continue downloading with
reget was302.tar.Z
The download starts not from the beginning, but appends the

Autoscaling Application block for Azure worker role console app not working. Get error as The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication

I have written a console application to test the WASABi(AutoScaling Application Block) for my worker role running in azure. The worker role processes the messages in the queue and I want to scale-up based on the queue length. I have configured and set the
constraints and reactive rules properly. I get the following error when I run this application.

Hello,
>>: The service configuration could not be retrieved from Windows Azure for hosted service with DNS prefix 'rmsazure' in subscription id **************
Base on error message, I guess your azure service didn't get your certificate and other instances didn't have certificate to auto scale. Please check your upload the certificate on your portal management. Also, you could refer to same thread via link(
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12843401/azure-autoscaling-block-cannot-find-certificate ).
Hope it helps.
Any question or result, please let me know.

Thanks

Thanks For the reply.
This is what I did
1) installed Enterprise Edition(Standalone)
2) Configured engine and deployed a project using admin
3) Able to view the deployed project and start workflow using "Lauch Workspace" in Admin Center
This is what I am trying to do.
1) I've installed Enterprise for J2EE(Websphere)
2) Configured engine and deployed a project using admin
3) But I am not able to view the workspace, I am not seeing the "Lauch Workspace" in Admin Center.
So I have to install Workspace Extension to view the deployed process and start the workflow? or anyother way to acheive this?

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for the reply,
I was wondering would it be possible to host the web application developed by web dynpro independent of the SAP software? What I mean is, say if I want to develop a small web application like adress book using a SQL database, would it be possible to develop it using the web dynpro without having to host SAP software?
Thanks,

SCOM 2012 R2 - How to create a Web Application Monitor for an URL requiring certificate authentication

Hi All,
It looks like in SCOM 2012 there are two ways to monitor a web application (URL monitoring):
Way no 1: (Using the Web Application Transaction Monitoring template)
Way no 2: (Using the Web
Application Availability Monitoring template)
We have created some monitors using
Web Application Availability Monitoring to check if URL is up without any authentication method.
However, we have few URLs for which we need Client Certificates to be used for accessing them but found no option in SCOM 2012 to configured the certificates.
I have searched a lot on the Tech Net library but no clue. Does anyone know how to successfully monitor an URL requiring certificate authentication on SCOM 2012 ? or, at least, using no matter which method?
Thanks.
Regards,
Raju.

Hi,
Based on my research, it is not possible by using the built-in monitoring templates. Both of them handles “normal”, server-side, SSL-certs, and the transaction monitor handles basic/digest/NTLM authentication, but client certificate based authentication
is not a configurable option.

Yan Li

Hi all,
I'm currently upgrading from BW 3.5 to BI 7 EHP 1.
When logging to SAP WEB application server to execute a WEB report, it's not possible to change password. Even when a initial password has been set, the user are not forced or able to change it.
Also to logon dialogue is more like a Windows pop-up than the Web based in 3.5.
Anyone having a clue?

A Web application + API for non web clients

Hi there,
I am new to the java enterprise world, i have a query regarding the application i am developing currently, I am not sure this is the exact category to ask this question but please help me on this.
In very simple terms my applications job is to give a listing or view of files distributed across network.
For this I need to have a webApp which can provide a view to all web clients. (where view is nothing but listing of files independent of there location)
Because this view tells nothing more than files , and i am as data center administrator cannot tell much about data, so we need to provide APIs so other applications (WebAPP or anything else)
can present the view in more data specific terms.
The webapp part is fine with me, but how do i support API being on an application server like glassfish.
Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance

Is there a way to control Adobe PDF plugin from within a Web Application? For Example, Can we highlight text in the PDF/A document programatically?

Hi,
I am trying to open a PDF document in browser using Adobe PDF plug-in for IE 9. The plugin version is 10.x
I need to highlight certain text in the PDF document ( which is searchable) programmatically. For example, when a user selects certain text on the web-page, we want to automatically highlight that in the PDF document.

I don't think this is a question one can answer by simply downloading the SDK. And even if one reads all the documentation (it rarely happens for obvious reasons), it is not easy to reach an answer because its explanation is not trivial at all.
In my own opinion, this is right the type of question to be put and (hopefully) answered in a Forum.
Now, I am not sure about the correct answer but I will give one hint.
If I am not wrong, the Internet Explorer, IE, PDF viewer by Adobe is actually a .dll file which is put under IE once Adobe Reader is installed. A custom plug-in for Reader or Acrobat is also a .dll file (Windows) but its extension is .api and it needs to be copied under Reader or Acrobat (or both). Therefore, I don't see how we can merge the IE viewer .dll with a custom plug-in .api. Though maybe technically possible, I don't think it is something we can do.
If above reasoning is correct, the answer to the question is No.

Facing Problem while adding Azure Project to existing C# web application

Hi,
I have a web application with 5 projects under one Solution. I want to publish this web application on Windows Azure, for that I have tried to add Windows Azure Cloud Service Project but this option is not appear in option list. But when I create new web
application add Windows Azure Cloud Service Project option appeared. I didn't understand why this happened. I have also tried to migrate old code to new project but having error
" The type or namespace name 'DataAnnotations' does not exist in the namespace 'System.ComponentModel' (are you missing an assembly reference?)"
If I add this dll then more than 18000 error occures like control not found(The name 'lnkbtnNew' does not exist in the current context).
Please help me out, I am struggling since couple of days.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please try the following steps, see if it helps.
1. create new azure cloud service project (it is better to choose the same version of .netframework with your web application );
2. right click the solution, add your web application as Existing Project
3. Right click on the “Roles” node in the Cloud Service project and select “Add | Web Role Project in solution…”
Please try to set the “Copy Local” to “True” in order to avoid assembly missing issue, see more at:

Application Insights for load testing in VS 2013, Azure Preview or Visual Studio Online?

I'm trying to get some clarification on which version of application insights to use to get performance counters from application insights for my azure cloud service for load and performance testing purposes.
So far, its not be clear what the differences between the two versions are, after deploying first the Azure Preview version, I attempted to set up performance counters using application insights but was shown an error because my visual studio online account
did not have an associated application insights instance.
Is it possible to get performance counters using AI for load testing using the Azure Preview version? If so, how? If not, is that planned as a new feature or will performance counters for VSO cloud based load testing have to be used when support for the
VSO version of application insights is eventually dropped?
Thanks,
Luke

Hi Alex, thanks for your response. I do have an Azure account, and have tinkered with AI in Azure Preview. My question was more about what the differences between the VSO and azure preview versions of AI are.
When I initially deployed AI to the azure portal and tried to run load tests from visual studio (cloud load tests, that is) I could not. Its possible I had made a mistake in configuring the azure version of application insights though. Strangely enough,
I actually do still see application insights data in the azure preview portal after I removed the newer AI version and installed AI 1.3.
To clarify my question, is it or will it be possible to run cloud based load tests (using visual studio online or another integrated service) against a azure web role deployed with application insights for azure and get performance counters of the system
under test via AI? To do that, will I also have an application insights application in the visual studio online account (similar to how I do now with the VSO version of AI), because that seems to be a requirement to load performance counters from application
insights within visual studio.
Thanks and sorry if I misunderstood your answer.

How to set same domain name for Azure Storage and Hosted Service

I have a web application running on azure and using azure storage with blob. My application allows to edit html files that are in the azure storage to save with another name and publish them later. I am using javascript to edit the html content that
I display in an Iframe but as the domain of my web application and the html that I try to edit are not the same, I got and this error "Unsafe JavaScript
attempt to access frame with URL "URL1" from frame with URL "URL2". Domains, protocols and ports must match".
I have been doing some research about it and the only way to make it work is to have the web application and the html that I want to access using javascript under the same domain.
So my question is: is it possible to have the same domain name in azure for the hosted service and the storage.
Like this:
hosted service: example.com
storage: example.com
By the way I already customize the domain names so they looks like this:
hosted service <mydomainname>.com
storage <blob.mydomainname>.com
Actually I have my application running in another hosting and I have no problem there since I have a folder where I am storing the files that I am editing so they are in the same domain as the application. I have been thinking in to do the same with Azure,
at least to have a folder where I can store the html file meanwhile I am editing it but I am not sure how much space I have in the hosted service to store temporary files.
let me know if you have a good tip or idea about how to solve this issue.

Hi Rodrigo,
Though both Azure Blob and Azure applications support custom domain, one domain could have only one DNS record (in this case is CNAME record) at one time. For Steve's case, he has 3 domains, blog.smarx.com, files.blog.smarx.com and cdn.blog.smarx.com.
> I would like to find a way to storage my html page that I need to edit under the same domain.
For this case, a workaround will be adding a http handler in your Azure application to serve file requests. That means we do not use the actual blob url to access blob content but send the request to a http handler then the http handler gets the content
from blob storage and returns it.
Please check
Accessing blobs in private container without Shared Access Secret key for a code sample.
Thanks.
