  • In the local Logs folder.
  • In the Orchestrator logs.

Why is renaming activities considered to be one of the best practices?

  • In case of an exception, to be able to find its source activity
  • To be able to understand the process logic without expanding each sequence or invoked workflow.

What is Orchestrator used for?

  • Running Windows processes on the local machine.
  • Remotely controlling any number of robots and performing workflow management.
  • Designing workflows to be run by robots in a supervised mode.
  • Designing workflows to be run by robots in an unsupervised mode.

What happens when a new version of a package is published?

  • The processes using the package are automatically updated to the latest version
  • The processes have to be updated in order for the robots to run the latest version of the package

  • By creating a job and selecting all three robots
  • It is not possible to allocate a process to three different robots
  • By scheduling the process and adjusting the settings in the Execution Target tab accordingly

The best way of managing variable values within a workflow, so that they can be shared on different robots and environments is:

  • Using excel config files
  • Using assets defined in Orchestrator.

What robots can be selected when you start a job from Orchestrator?

  • You cannot use a recorder in a Citrix environment
  • The recorder is used to create a skeleton for the UI automation
  • The Desktop recorder generates partial selectors

Turn off SharePoint Custom Error Messages


Here is how to turn off SharePoint custom error messages so you can see the “true” ASP.NET error message along with the callstack/stack trace. I would recommend only making the following changes in a development environment – not production. Navigate to the site directory, Backup web.config, Open web.config.
  1. Switch Custom Errors off. Search for “customErrors” and set the value to “Off” instead of “On”. You can also set the value to “RemoteOnly” to troubleshoot a production issue.
  2. Enable CallStack. Search for “CallStack” and set the value to “true” instead of “false”.
  3. Save web.config.
That's all, now you should be able to view actual error message.

dynamic keyword in C# 4


The "dynamic" keyword-Working with compiled .NET types is easy in C#
-Type information is available through Reflection
-- It is possible to make runtime calls dynamically
When a decision about calls and call targets is made at runtime, we talk about “dynamic dispatch", or “late binding"
Other language platforms have their own dynamic dispatch techniques (Python, Ruby, but also Automation, Web Services, ...)
--"dynamic" builds a bridge to the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR)
--The DLR unifies different dynamic dispatch approaches

First Impressions

dynamic i=4
dynamic s="Hi there";
i.DoS0methingImpossible();
Foreach (dynamic thing in things)
DoFal1(thing);

-"dynamic" is used in place of a type
-"dynamic" does NOT correspond to any type
-Runtime types of variables are similar to what you'd expect when using "var"
-Member access on variables declared "dynamic" IS deferred to runtime


Things that don't work
Deriving from "dynamic"
Implementing lEnumerab|e
Extension methods for “dynamic”
Remember: "dynamic" is not a type

Demo:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace DynamicBasics
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            dynamic i = 42;
            dynamic s = "Hi thcrl";
            Console.WriteLine("Length of my string " + s.Length);
            //i.DoSomethingImp05sible( );
            var things = new dynamic[] { 42, "text value" };
            //dynamic k;
            foreach (dynamic item in things)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(item);
            }
            foreach (dynamic item in GetEnu())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(item);
            }
        }
        static IEnumerable GetEnu()
        {
            yield return "Hi there..";
            yield return 42;
            yield return true;
        }
        static void UseDynamicThing(dynamic thing)
        {
        }

        // The following code snippet is invalid
        //static void UseDynamicThing(var thing)
        //{
        //}
    }
    ///Inheriying from dynamic is not allowed
    ///
    //public class test : dynamic
    //{
    //}
}


The Reflection Misconception
-Dynamic dispatch through the DLR is quite fast
-The idea is obvious to replace mechanisms like Reflection with DLR dynamic dispatch
-The AP|s offered by the DLR don't make this easy
-The "dynamic" keyword makes it easy because the compiler does the work
-If information relevant to the dispatch is not available at compile time "dynamic" can't help

XHTML

What  is XHTML?
The advantages of XHTML are:
-Since it is XML syntax, tools can easily parse and work with a XHTML document
-Tools can easily validate the structure of a XHTML document
-The structure of the document can be easily manipulated by the JavaScript DOM API to create
powerful and rich client side applications
-- This is the primary reason for us to use XHTML with AJAX applications
-XHTML provides a way to extend the default markup language This can lead to more specialized
languages


The DTD and MIME Type
- There are three separate DTD files to capture three types of structures
- -XHTML strict — Proper XHTML syntax. IE does not support this very well
- -XHTML transitional — The syntax matches HTML 4 more closely. Supported by all browsers. Recommended for now
- - XHTML frameset — Use this if you are using frames.
- The MIME type of XHTML should ideally be "application/xhtml+xml“
- However, IE does not support this. So, keep using the MIME type "text/html" until IE supports the actual MIME


The Basic Syntax
- The document should start with an XML preamble
-
- Next, the document must have a DOCWPE element and specify the DTD location
- "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1lDTD/xhtm|1-
transitional .dtd" >

- Next, the root level element must be
- This and all other XHTML elements are defined in the "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" namespace.
- It is recommended that you use an empty prefix for this namespace to simplify the document


"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtm11/DTD/xhtm11-transitional.dtd“>





Differences With HTML 4
- In XHTML, all element names are in lower case
- - Valid in XHTML
- - Valid in HTML 4
- All elements must be nested properly
- Hel|o World.
- Valid
- Hel|o World

- Invalid XHTML- Some XHTML elements must have a body. They must have an end tag
- Hello World.

- Hello World. - Invalid
- Some XHTML elements must not have any body

- Attribute values must be quoted
- - Valid
- - Invalid
- An attribute must have a value
-



- In HTML 4, some elements (such as form and img) used the attribute "name" and "id" interchangeably to identify the element
- In XHTML, only the "id" attribute should be used
-

- In HTML 4, values of enumerated attributes were case insensitive. In XHTML, they must be
in lower case
- - Valid
- - Invalid for XHTML

Web Application Architecture

Web front end-Hosts web applications that users access with a browser or other types of client
Application Services - hosts service applications and Central Admin
Sql Server - Database

File Locations and Storage
-Some resources always come from the file System
--Core list definitions
--Application pages
--Core user controls
--More
-Some always come from the content database
--List items
--Documents
-Sometimes it depends on the state of the resource (User customization)

Configure Management
-Do not directly edit files that SharePoint Installers
-Use solution packages
-SharePoint will keep the servers in the form in sync.

Security, Safety and scalability.
-SharePoint Designer based customization could be dangerous
-Inline code blocks
-Unapproved controls and web parts
-Too many controls on a page

Sharepoint provide safety
-SPRequest HttpModule
-SPVirtualPathProvider
-SPPageParserFilter
-Safe Mode processing

-Adding a control is allowed but inline code block not allowed by default
-In order to allow inline code blocks, add following in in web.config in tag


entry in config to allow rendering the control.

Form and Sandbox
-Files in Sharepoint root are deployed as farm solution.
-Farm solution deployment requires admin access to the form.
-Problem for hosted and governed environmrnts
-Sandbox solutions provide a safe alternative
-Sandbox solution pages are subject to Safe mode
-Additional  restriction apply.
