Configuration of SharePoint for Silver Light 2.0

-
A number of configuration steps must be taken before you can host the Silver light 2 applications in your SharePoint sites.

  • Install .NET 3.5 Framework
  • Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 1/ MOSS 2007 Service Pack 1: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 1 can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4191A531-A2E9-45E4-B71E-5B0B17108BD2 . MOSS 2007 Service Pack 1 can be downloaded from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD59175C-AD6A-4027-8C2F-DB25322F791B
  • Register System.Web.Silverlight.dll into GAC: The System.Web.Silverlight.dll must be deployed in the GAC. This assembly is part of the Silver light 2 SDK and can be found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v2.0\Libraries\Server
  • Setup MIME Type: The IIS Web applications hosting the sites you target with the samples must be configured to enable ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 and Silver light 2 applications. First thing to do is set register the XAP MIME type in the IIS Manager. In the IIS Manager open the Properties dialog for your IIS Web Application and open the HTTP Headers tab. Click the MIME Types… button and add a new MIME type for the .xap extension.





  • Update Web.Config: To conclude, you must have a number of extra configuration elements in the web.config for the IIS Web Application you are targeting with the samples. Here is a typical web.config for a SharePoint-extended IIS Web Application. Details: http://silverlightformoss.codeplex.com/

You may have to find out the GUID for the SharePoint List and View on which you are re...

    SAP RFC Integration through BizTalk

    -
    Image
    It has been a long while since I published some technical write-ups into my blog. Today, I will try to elaborate on Integration mechanism with SAP though BizTalk middleware. As you are aware, SAP is a self-contained and modular system. So, communicating with SAP is a complex process. You have to have basic understanding of SAP Modules and Data Query/Retrieval process. But, communicating to SAP through RFC function calls has made it even easier. You can communicate with SAP RFCs in three different ways: 1.     Access SAP RFCs using WCF-SAP Adapter and SAP system credentials 2.     Access SAF RFCs through exposed RFCs as ABAP web services 3.     Access SAF RFCs through SAP Process Orchestrator, which is basically the SAP integration middleware Today, I will concentrate on No. 2, which is to communicate with SAP through RFC Web Services via ABAP web services. To do that, you need to expose SAP RFCs as consumable web services. Please follow THIS to expose RFCs as ...
