We have Oracle 11g base HR System. Now our requirement is to make some workflow on SharePoint 2010. So we comeup to the decission that we will make webpart to insert, update and retrive records from Oracle and then we will start workflow on that.
So my question was, is it possible to start workflow without is list or document library. If yes than how can I get some idea on that. Some URL where I can find more details.
Kindly let me know if I am going in wrong direction. Please help on that.
You can have site level workflows in SharePoint 2010 which can run without list or a library.
See:
http://www.sharepointbriefing.com/spcode/article.php/3910746/Using-SiteLevel-Workflows-in-SharePoint-2010.htm
However, there is not much information available in the question to evaluate weather its the right option or not. It depends on what is the workflow requirement etc.

I'm in the fact finding stage of an integration project to update DocuSign vendor agreements with status flags in our DB2 construction management software.
I'm a SQL developer that was handed this task, and I know nothing about DocuSign schemas or its APIs.
Has anyone done anything like this before?
A good place to start is the DocuSign quickstart.
While you may use DB2 for your database, you will still need to run some code on the server in some for of server language like C#, Java etc. You can pick one of 8 languages in the quickstart, see how the APIs work, what data you need and how you may design your system accordingly.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. If not, please direct me to the right place.
We used to have an application that was created using VB and Microsoft Access. It was an application to score calls from Agents and would then run a few calculations and grade those agents based on a few algorithms.
We replicated all that Access data onto SQL but for some reason, we were just not able to connect the VB application to the SQL Database instead. The application was also outdated and we needed a change.
Can anyone suggest software/framework that can be used to create a new application with an ability to connect to a SQL database?
EDIT: We have a Microsoft Office 365 subscription. I was thinking of using PowerApps. I've never used it before. Does anyone think this could help serve my purpose?
I have extensive experience of using PowerApps to create applications connected to SQL Server (in my case Azure SQL Database), and am mostly satisfied.
There are some constraints, but not major. Please see these posts for some further information.
I would suggest PowerApps if you have Office365.
I need to find all the issues discovered in a snapshot/scan in Sonarqube. I can't use the web API since the volume can be excessive for new projects on first scan. I have a query that can find the latest snapshot with the project information. I can query issues by project. I can't figure out how to relate issues to a snapshot. There has to be a way since Sonarqube does it - New issues on the Project page.
Has anyone done this or have enough experience with the crazy schema to be able to figure it out? Can't wait for the schema rationalization...
Sonarqube 5.6.3 on Windows 2012 R2 with SQL Server 2012.
There is currently no association between snapshot and issue. Nor has there ever been one. The closest you can come is to use date parameters to narrow the set of issues created right around the time of your analysis. Note that this could be difficult if you run analyses close together.
The "new issues" metrics shown on the project homepage are just that - metrics. However, if you click through on one, you'll find yourself in a date-based Issues search.
You can do the same sort of thing using the web service, again, via date-based criteria. Or you could use the sinceLeakPeriod parameter.
This might be a better question for https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/, but since i am using TFS there may be differences, i am not sure.
I need to create a dashboard for a couple users that outlines our current sprint queries. They only need to see kind of the same hierarchy we would see if viewing a tree view in Visual Studio's Team Explorer (when running a tree query).
There are Sharepoint 2010 Dashboards.

Edit: Sharepoint 2010 configuration for compatibility explained here will be needed I guess.
I have some event handlers which are tracking list items in my SharePoint lists. I would like to Audit the use of these in an external database (SQL 2005) outside of SharePoint.
What is the best practice for doing something like this? I can't find many examples of this being done but it seems like it would be something that is done frequently. Would love to get pointed in the right direction on this one!
Normally to get a DB connection in a .net app, I'd create a connectionString in the web.config. Should I be modifying the web.config for the web application that the code will run on?
It would be handy to be able to use LINQToSQL for my DB inserts/updates - is this possible from within SharePoint code?
Thanks
I am not sure I understand your auditing question fully to comment on it.... There is built in auditing functionality that you can utilize if it meets your requirements. Ted Pattison discussed this in an Office Space column a while back.
In regards to you other questions...
You can put a connection string in your web.config, we do this often. There can be concerns in SharePoint manually updating the web.config due to the fact you can have multiple servers in a farm and you don't want the web.config to get out of sync. SharePoint has a SPWebModificationClass you can to automatically update the web.config. I have run into issues with this using FBA (see this SO question).
You can use LINQtoSQL for your database access. However, if you are using SP 2007 instead of SP 2010, you will need to update your web.config to reference all of the proper DLLs. You can what references are required by looking at an ASP.NET 3.5 web.config and comparing it to SharePoints. I am sure there are links on how to do this also.
Hope that helps get you started
