Topic: Learn to Build Codeless Composite Applications in SharePoint Quickly

 
 
The new BCS/BDC in SharePoint 2010 affords tremendous potential for integrating line of business applications into SharePoint using the new create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) functions that allow users to interact with external application data in SharePoint. However, the connectivity required to leverage all these capabilities remains difficult, time consuming, and requires heavy coding. In this session you’ll see a multi-application integration with SharePoint 2010 built live with full CRUD capability. We will demonstrate how to use AppComms to auto discover endpoint data sources and their schema without adapters or custom coding. Learn how to build virtual relationships across disparate data sources by simply dragging and dropping. When you are done configuring, you’ll experience push button creation of the BDC. Within minutes your user is working live on the external data from a SharePoint list. Users can interact with data from hard to expose applications, databases and control devices.

I am pleased to announce the availability of the first version of the SharePoint 2010 Administration Toolkit. In this toolkit they have included a couple of tools that were shipped releases and are now adapted to SharePoint 2010, along with two new tools.

 

·         User Profile Replication Engine 2010 (UPRE2010): this tool got a complete overhaul and was converted to PowerShell. It now allows you to replicate Profile and Social data between SharePoint 2010’s User Profile Application (UPA), as well as backward compatibility with SharePoint 2007’s SSP. You can replicate between SSP’s or UPA services, as well as across versions. (Note that only Profile data can be replicated across versions, as SSP contains no Social activity tracking).
·         The Security Configuration (SCW) Manifest: SCW is an attack surface reduction feature in Windows Server. This manifest adds roles for SharePoint 2010 Products to Windows Server 2008 with SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
·         The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) Connector: enables SharePoint users to interact with content stored in any repository that has implemented the CMIS standard, as well as making SharePoint 2010 content available to any application that has implemented the CMIS standard.
·         The Load Testing Kit (LTK): LTK generates a Visual Studio Team System 2008 (VSTS) load test based on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 IIS logs. The VSTS load test can be used to generate synthetic load against Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 as part of a capacity planning exercise or a pre-upgrade stress test.
 
The toolkit can be downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=718447d8-0814-427a-81c3-c9c3d84c456e&displaylang=en

Founding Sponsor


CorasWorks (www.corasworks.net) is proud to have been a founding member of the FEDSPUG.  When the group was conceived, it was apparent that SharePoint was an  up-and-coming technology, especially in the Federal space.  Because of that, we felt it was important to establish a Community around SharePoint to facilitate information sharing, knowledge transfer and training.  The sole focus was ‘by the people, for the people’.  The opportunities created by the group, furthered all members awareness and understanding of SharePoint and added value to what each individual organization was doing on its own.  We are pleased to have maintained continuity of our support to FEDSPUG, since those very early days…
