While setting up a new SharePoint solution one of the requirements was to embed a Yammer Feed. So I followed the help document only to have an unusual situation: 1) the feed wouldnt render in browse mode. 2) the feed WOULD render in Edit Mode. The key to the situation was to declare a little more on the sample script Yammer gave – adding ‘text/javascript’ Here’s the working script – (one for the bat –utility belt) *tested from Win8, Firefox * <script data-app-id='hyB2pTvrL36Y50py8EWj6A'...

In an environment where Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit is deployed, a BizTalk receive location responsible for receiving ESB-destined messages is referred to as an "on-ramp." In the receive location you have to use one of the pipelines provided as part of the toolkit, and then correctly configure the components of that pipeline to determine the itinerary and link it to the message. So you can use almost any location outside BizTalk as an on-ramp but what if you want to pick up a message...

“Ding ding” after spending 4 rounds(hours) in the ring with this guy, I’m taking the gloves off and heading for the showers and salts. I’m in the middle of some BizTalk work (which is nice for a change) and I’m ticking my tasks off. I’ve got a REST receive port exposed from BizTalk via IIS and published through the WCF Publishing Wizard. (there’s Operations mappings and extracting variables from the URL to Context Properties under the Configure – omitted for brevity) Couple of shots of the WCF Service...

That said, this article isn’t about convincing you to move to a desktop-mobile [...] Blog Post by: Karl Schwirz

Through WS-Addressing services can require a certain value in the ws-addressing < wsa:to > SOAP header. WCF has full support for this. This support is inherited by the WCF-Adapters . When using WS-addressing in a BizTalk Server Send Port what you enter in the “Address (URI)” of the WCF adapters configuration will also be the value that ends up in the <to> header. Like so:   This will produce the following. Other headers and body removed for clarity. < s:Envelope xmlns:s ="http...

This is one of my demonstrations from BizTalk Saturday at Auckland on 9/02/2013. This event was organised by Bill Chestnut and Nikolai Blackie.

After wrestling with this tonight for sometime I’ve finally cracked it. SP2013 RTMed and alot of the sample code fails due to the fact that you need to now add ‘..;odata=verbose’ onto pretty much every call to SharePoint. Basically you get a series of errors such as: MIME type could not be found that matches the content type of the response . None of the supported type ( s ) ' application/atom+xml;type=entry , application/atom+xml , application/json;odata=verbose Previously alot of the sample...
