Thanks in advance for any help. Here is the issue: a client wants his entire equipment inventory accessible by persons navigating to his jquery mobile site. The inventory that exists on the desktop site was, as I understood, built with Flex.
Is it possible to access this database for the jquery mobile site? I believe it is. I was then given this information from someone in the know:
Database:
mlxx.db.xxxxxxx.hostedresource.com
login: mxxx
Pass: dmxxxxx
DSN:
mssql_mlxx.dsn
Cold Fusion DSN:
mssqlcf_mlxx
But I have no idea where to go from here. If you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. I haven't done too much server side work which is why my question is probably really comprehensive. Thanks.
Based on an interpretation of the access data, It sounds like the data is stored in a SQL Server database, and accessed from ColdFusion.
In theory you can reuse the ColdFusion services that the Flex/AIR app uses from a HTML/JavaScrript website.
Without a full code review, I don't think we'll be able to give you any more specifics than that.

I need publish some web services so I add some pages and codeunits to web services form. Then, I clicked publish checkbox to make it visible for my external program. When I try to visit
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/Services
it doesn't show my codeunits or pages avaliable. The only exists is SystemService. It doesn't work also when I try to reach it by
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/<companyname>/Page/<wsname>
Message printed claim that "/Page/" was not found. I don't really know where could be problem and I feel I don't have enough knowledge about Dynamics solution to solve it. Maybe someone of you meet this problem in the past. I don't even know, where to search errors, where logs from publishing should be written. My version of this software is 2009.
Could it perhaps be that you have multiple NAV service tiers running on your machine, and the one in which you are configuring your webservices is not the one listening to port 7047? Just trying to eliminate any possible cause... ;)
More simple checks, just to be sure:
is this the right database? :)
have you specified service name (Latin characters, no spaces etc)?
have you tried restarting NAV Server and Web Services?
are published objects available in the license uploaded to DB?
have you tried publishing standard page like 21 Customer Card?
(Sorry, this is not an answer, but there is no formatting in the comments :)
first some context for the problem:
we are using SAP Netweaver Developer Studio to create business processes. Creating User Interfaces with WebDynpro Java.
A process will be controlled by the universal worklist (UWL) which can be accessed by its API as far as I know.
My Question is: Can anyone give me a hint how to access an UWL or parts of a process in a uwl via mobile devices? Any Experience with it? The first application is a process that got an approval step somewhere close to the end. For this approval a webdynpro application exists, but the approver should also be able to use his/her mobile device to approve something within an mobile app or something.
We would love to see that HTML5 is the One, but if there is a way using Netweaver Developer Studio or even Webdynpro for it thats quite cool, too.
If there is something we can use for our uwl that works for all devices and can be used by other SAP or non-SAP Applications too, that might even be the best solution.
I hope I explained everything sufficiently, thanks for reading.

We are now using SAP Gateway and Sybase SUP to get this issue done. Let's see how this works out.
I am new to windows 8 metro apps development and i need your help in figuring out my doubt about the database support to metro applications ?
i am developing a application which requires reasonably huge amount of data to be stored in its database , it would require many tables and relation between them , with help of this i can fetch the data from database and show it to user , and perform the required operations on it and sync the data when internet connection is there.
Please let me know which is the optimal database for metro applications for me to use in my app.
As per my knowledge these are the present alternatives for database support for metro applications (i might be wrong , please correct me if i am wrong):-
1)IndexedDB 2)SQLite 3)WinRT File Based Database 4)Siaqodb 5)Devart LinqConnect
Thanks in advance.
Your answer might clear doubts of many developers like me about database support , Please feel free to answer it.
IMO you forgot about one more solution. This solution probably will be best for you. Use external DB and webservice/webapi to communicate with it.
In my project I'm using Azure SQL. I communicate my Metro app with it by webapi that is published in cloud.

SQLite on WinRT is probably your best bet...

I have a website made with CakePHP 1.3.7. This website has it's own login system. Now the client wants to include a forum in the website.
I've been looking at different free solutions and phpBB and SMF seem to be what I'm looking for. The only thing I'm not so sure is about integrating those forums with the login system that I already have.
I mean, if a user has already an account for the website (or creates a new one), he/she should be able to use that same account (username) in the forum section.
Is that possible? Any clue pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated! I mentioned both forum solutions in case one is easier to integrate than the other one, that would be also good to know (or if there's any other better option).
Thanks so much in advance!
It's possible to use both but I personally prefer SMF. You have to configure CakePHP's session component to use database sessions and create a model that will use the forums session table.
You can decide if you want or need a separate users table besides the forums users table (or its called members, don't know right now).
The "hard" part is to make the cake app read/write the sessions and cookies in the same fashion SMF does to allow a smooth transition from the cake app to the forum and backwards.
Technically you can use both forums and archive your goal with both, it's just a matter of getting the frameworks components utilized right.
I ended up using: this
It has all that I needed and integrates perfectly into Cake :)
I've got a website that runs on a shared hosting environment, using ASP.net 2.0 (C#) and MS SQL Server 2005. I've recently been asked if I can integrate my website with a piece of third party desktop software that uses the Access runtime as its database (transparent to the end user).
Primarily I want to be able to offer users of my website the option of exporting their data into the Access database on their local machine. The data schema's match sufficiently, the question is how to actually do this, and in the simplest way possible for the user.
Simply having a webpage update the local Access database isn't possible due to the obvious security restrictions. I've considered asking them to upload the Access database to the server, so I can migrate the data then allow them to download it again, however the competency of the users of this software is such that even locating the Access database, let alone uploading and downloading it from the website might be too complicated.
I've also considered if Adobe Air or Silverlight could help here, but don't know them well enough to know for sure. Similarly I'm assuming another exe could be written to perform this task that the user could simply download and run, however my experience is in web development, not program development, so this isn't a 100% certainty for me, or an ideal development option for me.
So, can this be done, and if so what technique can achieve this, with the stated aims being ease of use for the end user, followed by ease of development by someone with web development as their main skill. Many thanks!
You may find this answer of interest: Best way to stream files in ASP.NET
It is about transferring a file from the server. You could save Excel or CSV and use that to update Access.
Instead of trying to do this in a web page you might just expose some views from your sql server to some client specific logins.
Then within the Access application, allow them to tie to your sql server. You might even provide an access application for getting the data from your site and stuffing it in their local access database.
In my work we have done something similar that is transparent to the user by creating an ActiveX control. The problem is that you are limiting the users to use only Internet Explorer.
I think that the best way to achieve what you are trying to do is by installing a service in the client's computer. If creating a service is beyond your experience you can post a project in a place like oDesk and find somebody that can help you with the development for the money that you are willing to pay to complete your project.
Good Luck.
