[OzMOSS] RE: Invoking WCF Web Service call from SharePoint Workflow

[Trevor Andrew]

Hi All,

 

We are writing a SharePoint State Machine Workflow, and are trying to use
the .NET 3.5 Send Activity to invoke a WCF workflow. The hurdle we are
hitting is that when deployed to SharePoint, the Workflow Send Activity
still appears to need an app.config file with all of the WCF client
configuration / endpoints etc ...

 

Where would such a config file need to be deployed to? What would it be
named? How would we ensure our workflow, when running in the context of
SharePoint can unambiguously find this config file? Or do we need to augment
some current SharePoint config file?

 

The workflow assembly is deployed to the GAC, and the various feature.xml /
workflow.xml configuration files are currently being deployed straight out
of VS 2008, with a view to feature based deployment into UAT / production
...

 

Any suggestions or hard-won experience from the trenches would be much
appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Trevor Andrew

Hi Trevor,

Couldn't you add the WCF settings to the web.config of the site that is
making the call?

Haven't tried this myself but that's where I would start.

 

You should be able to use the Visual studio WCF config editor to edit
the file for you.

 

See how you go.

 

Cheers,

Aaron

[OzMOSS] Automatic SP1 Patch?

[Sezai KOMUR]

Hello,

I am looking at a MOSS 2007 farm which was setup over a year ago and has not 
had Service Pack 1 installed yet.

BUT - when attempting to restore a site collection backup of a site in the farm 
to a pre-SP1 development VPC it wouldn't restore and reported that it was of a 
newer version. So I restored to a SP1 development environment and it worked.

So we double checked the version number for the farm and it's - 12.0.0.6039 and 
not 12.0.0.4518

This suggests the Farm has had SP1 applied, but it was not applied by anyone!

So my question can a MOSS 2007 farm environment automatically patch itself to 
SP1 with a Windows update or KB.

Is this possible? I am concerned if there are any manual steps that must be 
taken as well that have been missed? Has anyone else experienced this?

[OzMOSS] RE: Automatic SP1 Patch?

[Sezai KOMUR]

Found the answer, it's not SP1 its just a public update!


· Release 12.0.4518.1016

· October public update 12.0.0.6039

· Service Pack 1 12.0.0.6219

· Post Service Pack 1 rollup 12.0.0.6300

So SP1 has not been applied yet. This suggests I should patch my development 
VPC with the October public update.

Hi Trevor,

 

I can't directly answer your question but yesterday I was reading this blog
post by Sahil about SharePoint and WCF. It might put you on the right path:

[OzMOSS] Joining the mothership..

[Aaron Saikovski]

Hi All,

The time has come for me to make another big career move as I am leaving SDM 
and am joining Microsoft Australia as a SharePoint specialist within MCS 
(Microsoft Consulting Services). 

I will hand the reigns of OzMoss.com over to Matthew Cosier from Readify later 
on next week, so email him if you have any issues. I will from time to time 
check in but won’t be as actively involved.

 

You can email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Until June 27th) and I will send out 
Matthew’s contact details next week. Also my new email from July 4th onwards 
will be [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have any questions etc..

 

Thanks for supporting OzMoss.com and please keep in touch.

 

Cheers,

Aaron Saikovski

[Michael Scales]

Hi Trevor,
 
The workflow Send Activity should only require information from the
app.config if the client proxy is not created and fully specified in
code. Maybe the endpoint proxy needs to be created when the workflow
itself is created.
 
It is possible to build client configuration & endpoint in code eg.

Call me offline Trev if you need more info.

RE: [OzMOSS] RE: Invoking WCF Web Service call from SharePoint Workflow

[Trevor Andrew]

Hi Aaron,

 

No luck unfortunately. I found the following post where the guy was wanting
to do pretty much exactly what I was wanting to do. He appeared to get it
going, but I'm having no luck.

 

http://suguk.org/forums/thread/9421.aspx

 

I've tried adding the WCF configuration stuff to the web.config (@
c:\inetput\wss\virtualdirectories\80), I've even tried adding the WCF
configuration info into the machine.config, but all to no avail. The message
I constantly get is:

 

Could not find endpoint element with name 'WSHttpBinding_IAIPS' and contract
'AIPSWCF.IAIPS' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might
be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because
no endpoint element matching this name could be found in the client element.

 

The configuration information is identical to that used in another ASP.NET
harness web application for exercising the WCF service ... so I'm a bit
stuck. I've also been running FileMon while the workflow is running, and it
seems the only .config file accessed by the OWSTIMER service is the
machine.config.

 

Once again, any suggestions welcome!

 

Cheers,

Trevor
