Sharepoint Integration

I am trying to get the sharepoint list feature working and I always get the following error when attempting to set up a sharepoint lookup:

There are no servers available, please check the connection details to the sharepoint server.

Is there something else I need to do in my configuration?		21:54:19 21 Jun 2006

RE: Sharepoint Integration

Hi Heidi,

You do need to make some changes to the BWS\Internal\Firmstep2\Internal.cfg file.

These are detailed in step 6 of the "AFLite Sharepoint List Connector Installation Guide.pdf" document.

I'll repost it here for convenience:

Configuring the Sharepoint List Integration and Sharepoint List Lookup wizards require
changing the Internal.cfg file
Edit the \BWS\Internal\Firmstep2\Internal.cfg file. Locate the following block of XML:
<!-- Sharepoint integration settings -->
<item name="sharepoint_lists_enabled">{false}</item>
<item name="sharepoint_host">'sharepointhost'</item>
<item name="sharepoint_port">80</item>
<item name="sharepoint_path">'/af3sps/ListService.asmx'</item>
<item name="sharepoint_server">'sharepointhost'</item>
Be careful not to remove any quotes or brackets when changing these settings.
Set sharepoint_lists_enabled to {true}
The sharepoint_host and sharepoint_server values should both be the hostname of the server
the web services are installed into.
sharepoint_port should be set to the port of the IIS Site the virtual server is extending. By
default, this is 80 but may be other values as well. Checking the WebSite’s properties in IIS is
the best way to determine the port
set the sharepoint_path to the server-relative path of the ListService.asmx.

Save the internal.cfg and restart the Firmstep2 Internal service. The SharepointList
Integration should now be available via the Integration tab in AFLite. The SharepointList
Lookup should now be available on the Admin screen under Lookups.		12:01:58 22 Jun 2006

RE: Sharepoint Integration

Hi Heidi,

if you go to http://<sharepointserver>/af3sps/ListService.asmx, are you able to invoke ListSites?

If not, there may be a problem with your setup. If you can invoke these, it may be a problem with your configuration. If this is the case, would you mind posting the sharepoint integration setting items listed above, as well as the url to the root web of your sharepoint site?

Kind regards,

RE: Sharepoint Integration

Nick,

Yes, I am able to invoke the listsites.asmx by using:

http://pcwms55/af3sps/listservice.asmx

My settings in the internal.cfg file are as follows:

<!-- Sharepoint integration settings -->
<item name="sharepoint_lists_enabled">{true}</item>
<item name="sharepoint_host">'pcwms55'</item>
<item name="sharepoint_port">80</item>
<item name="sharepoint_path">'/af3sps/ListService.asmx'</item>
<item name="sharepoint_server">'pcwms55'</item>
<item name="sharepoint_webservice_name">'Sharepoint'</item>


My server is pcwms55 or its also the localhost for the machine the forms are running on. This machine has both mcms and sharepoint installed on it.		20:01:25 22 Jun 2006

The root of the sharepoint site is http://pcwms55		20:10:54 22 Jun 2006

Heidi,

Sorry for the delay. If you try changing the last item in that list (sharepoint_webservice_name) to 'ListService' and restart the firmstep service, that might fix the problem.

Thanks,
David

RE: Sharepoint Integration

David,

That didn't seem to help my problem. It still says There are no servers available.
