COM reference or Command tool for ClearTeam Explorer - clearcase

I have been using IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer version 8.0.0. I like to come up with customized tool(WPF application) to performing ClearTeam actions like makebaseline, checkin, checkout.
Is there any command tool and COM object availabe to perform these functions. I would be helpful if there are any reference link also.

The official API for CM/ClearTeam is in java, not COM.
It is the CM API, a standards-based Java API for ClearCase, which in the 8.0 release, adds support for ClearCase dynamic views. It also adds partial support for UCM deliver and rebase operations, and ClearCase/Rational Team Concert work item integration.
You can use that java API with WebSphere Portlet Factory (WPF) to develop a portlet application.

GemBox WPF dependency does not work on App Service Azure deployment

I developed a test .NET Core Web App to which I added the .doc to .pdf conversion tool GemBox.
Their documentation for Azure deployment combined with .NET Core is limited to non-existing and their support guys could not help me with a clear solution either.
The error I get:
HTTP Error 500.31 - ANCM Failed to Find Native Dependencies Common
solutions to this issue: The specified version of
Microsoft.NetCore.App or Microsoft.AspNetCore.App was not found.
I tracked down the problem to the following issue:
GemBox.Document for .NET Core 3.0 uses WPF.
Is it possible that App Service added a limited support for WPF?
Thanks,
Lorena
The latest released version of GemBox.Document have cross-platform support for saving to PDF which doesn't have a WPF dependency, see the release post or the ASP.NET Core example.
So, you can now use GemBox.Document on Azure services, such as App Service, Azure Functions, etc. without any issue.

Authenticate against Active Directory in .NET Core 1.0 application?

With the recent release of .NET Core 1.0, we're in the process of migrating our RC1 applications to the final release. The only piece we can't seem to figure out is how to integrate Active Directory authentication.
Previously in the RC1 applications, we had used the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement library to handle the LDAP authorization queries. However, we can no longer mix this library with .NET Core v1.
Generally, what is the best way to integrate Active Directory authentication into our applications using the libraries available for use in the .NET Core framework? IdentityServer, some other third party service like Auth0 or something else?
The Novell.LDAP library has been ported to .NET Core you can find it in NuGet. There are numerous samples available, including a verify password sample.
Best is subjective, really there's only one way right now, given the missing DirectoryServices namespace (which is planning for 1.1) - federation.
You'd have to install ADFS, and expose it to the internet. Then you configure it to act as an OAuth2 endpoint, and use the generic OAuth middleware to redirect logins to your ADFS server. You could also install the latest ADFS beta, which needs the latest Windows Server beta, and use OpenID Connect, but that's a lot of beta risks you may not find acceptable.
Or, if you just want the latest MVC pieces, run it on .NET Desktop, where you have full access to the directory services namespace.
The System.DirectoryServices namespace is currently being implemented in .NET Core, work is ongoing.
https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/2089
Just want to say that they just issued a pre-release of the Microsoft.Windows.Compatibility which contains the System.DirectoryServices components needed to integrating with Active Directory

How to create Fusion Applications Customization Application

I have to create a Fusion Applications Customization Application in Jdeveloper. As per the various forums I have to choose File > New to open the New Gallery. In the New Gallery, select Applications > Fusion Applications Customization Application. But I am not getting this option in jdeveloper installed on my machine. I am using Linux machine for this. Roles that I have used are Oracle Fusion Application developer and Oracle Fusion Application Customization. But Fusion Applications Customization Application option is not coming up in any of the roles.
Could you please let me know on this. Also please let me know the process of creating an application for customization. Any web link or pointers will be helpful.
The role you should use is "Oracle Fusion Application Developer." The whitepaper linked in this post on the Developer Relations blog offers a step-by-step guide on how to get this to work.

Wpf .Net 4.0 client profile and caching

according to msdn System.runtime.caching is not available to the client profile. currently this caching works for .net full.
where my application is going to be deployed only supports the client profile so retargeting is not a option.
is there a open source library that will implement this functionality / or would it be better to download system.runtime.caching project from http://referencesource.microsoft.com/#System.Runtime.Caching/System/Caching
and attempt to re implement the classes removing dependency's from the full framework is this even possible ?.

Sharepoint as a CMS

I am looking at using Sharepoint as a CMS for my WPF application, I was hoping to create some kind of a repository and access that using .NET web services. The repository would simply be some images and perhaps some meta-data about the images (name, description, etc...)
Im am stuck to Sharepoint, so another system is not really an option.
Does anyone have any links or experience with this?
Im not a newbie to Sharepoint, I just cannot find anything on what versions to use, if I need plugins, security, how to go about it in general.
You can do this with the free version of SharePoint (SharePoint Foundation, formerly Windows SharePoint Services) that comes with Windows Server--no plugins required.
If you simply want to store the images in SharePoint you can upload them to a Document Library via a web service call. If you want to be able to view the images directly in SharePoint use a Picture Library instead. As you can see in the list of SharePoint 3.0 web services you can work with both Document and Picture Libraries. You could even have the WPF application create the libraries if need be.
As Henrico points out in Storing Images on Sharepoint you'll want to consider whether to store the image file itself in SharePoint or have the file elsewhere and use SharePoint to store the path. His post also points out some other considerations on storing images in SharePoint. Note that his post refers to using SharePoint directly, but the same considerations apply.
I'm not sure what to say about security, since SharePoint supports authorization and authentication with its normal web interface and with web services.
I once used a hosted version of SharePoint to store PDFs uploaded from a command line application that were then viewed by a separate application. It worked great for my needs.
