BMC TrackIT uses an SQL database, so we'd be using an external content type in SharePoint to create the new work order / ticket. What tables require updating to create a new work order and ensure email notifications get triggered?
On the SharePoint side, we have a custom list with an Infopath form that receives the request. Then a workflow duplicates the submitted request in the external list, which then triggers the configured SQL operations. That's the theory.
Has anyone done this successfully? Thoughts?
Cheers,
Bill

we are working on setting up tableau extract refresh through API invocation. We are using Personal access tokens from tableau for authentication. While we are able to establish the communication and are able to retrieve details on tableau site, we get a 401002 response when we try for extract refresh. Is there a need for an additional privilege to the access token to set the extract refresh.
Any pointers on this would be of great help!
Make sure that the user whose PAT you're using is the owner of the workbook (and hence the extraction schedule). If not, the extraction request will fail. Alternatively, if the user cannot be the owner, they must be server administrators or site administrators on your Tableau server.
Also make sure you already have a schedule for the extract refresh. If one doesn't exist, you can create it with the Create Schedule method (with the API this can only be done by server administrators, on the browser the owner of the workbook can do this).
From the Tableau API docs, also note that "A REST request to start a refresh task will fail if the task has been put in the task queue in any of these ways, or is already in progress". This might also be one reason why it fails.
I see that there's a row for each user in the "Authentication" section of Firestore with their data. Am I able to query for users in this table and add columns, or to create a new collection of users with a one-to-one mapping from user in the authentication section to user in the collection? If it's the latter, is there any way to both create a new user account and create the corresponding document in the collection as part of a single transaction?
Firestore doesn't have an "Authentication" section. Firestore only lets you read and write data into its database. Firebase Authentication is a different product that keeps track of logged in users in a way that's completely separate from Firestore. You can't query users in Firebase Authentication using Firestore. In fact, you also can't even query Authentication using the mobile client libraries (because that would be a possible security hole for your app).
If you want to query for all users in your app, you're going to have to do perhaps arrange for each user to write a document in some collection in Firestore that can be queried by Firestore client libraries.
You can use Cloud Functions with Admin SDK. Make a http endpoint or a http Callable that queries at admin.auth. But this is not a secure. The best way to do that is registering a firestore docuement whenever user is created using functions.auth.user().onCreate
I create a new database, and when I create a document and submit to this database from the web, I got an error in the console:
HTTP Web Server: IBM Notes Exception - The certificate table does not contain enough valid certificates to verify the public key of its owner.
But if I submit a document to another database in this server, I can save successfully. Where can I setup or need do some other step? When I open a form in this new database, I also got this error in a message box. I tried to change ACL for the new database but it did not work.
If you're getting this error while attempting HTTP access to a specific database, it probably means that there is something odd about the signature on one or more design elements in the database. I.e., the signature on the form, the query save agent, or some other design element was done with an id that doesn't share a common root certificate with the server.
Try using the Domino Administrator client to sign the database, either with the server id or with another id in the same organization.
I need to add additional validation to emails in registration process. so I will to add an app in external server to handle this using the API. But I wanna save custom settings data per store, to access it later from the app, this is to handle additional information without create other database.
is this possible ?
I am currently working on a project that is designed based on SQL and VB.NET. The idea as the following: there are different permissions for users. The administraotr grants each user specific permissions. The idea is illustrated as the following:
For example, user A can get the following permissions:
He is able to add new tender, modify existing tender, add new customer.
User B has the following permissions:
He is able to view existing tenders, add new employees, ... and so on.
The idea of how to implement it in SQL and VB.NET is:
Creating a new table called Permission with the following fields:
UserID (foreign key for the user ID), for each permission there will be a single field so there will be 12 field.
Now, in VB.NET there will be 12 buttons (i.e. Add new tender, Delete tender, ....). Each button will enabled and disabled based on the value of the field (if the field = 1, the button will be enabled).
Here is an example:
In this case, for this user the buttons with the red lines will be enabled and the rest will be disabled, based on his permissions.
It is obvious that this way is SILLY and is not professional to be implemented.
I need your recommendation of how to enhance it.
Thanks
Ideally you want to use an external authorization framework e.g. Microsoft's claims-based authorization or better yet, XACML - the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language.
When you use externalized authorization, all you need to write in your code (if at all) is:
"Can I enabled button foo?". That's a question you send off to the external authorization engine. If you use an engine that "runs on XACML", then you get policy-based, attribute-based access control where you could easily define that:
users that are assigned to a customer can add tenders for that customer
Check out open source solutions or vendor solutions such as Axiomatics, the vendor I work for. Also check out available resources on XACML e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XACML or XACML videos on YouTube.
