I'm trying to understand the difference between the SP add-ins and SP Framework.
I need to refactor a Django app on SP online. The web app does the following:
Takes input from the user into a form (mostly y/n) questions
based on the responses generates a pdf document which is returned to the user plus a .docx document which is stored on SP (the end user has no access to the .docx)
Potentially sends an email to notify other stakeholders
Now, if I have to implement it on SP, I understand that the full logic will be in the client, while at the moment for example part of the logic runs in Python.
The form itself should not be an issue. I was wondering how to generate the pdf and the docx. Is that possible using SP workflows? Or should I use Power Automate? I mean, how to properly populate a HTML/word template and then convert it to Pdf if we have no access to server side code? Thanks
You can create a SharePoint Application using spfx framework https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/sharepoint-framework-overview and the client side code can call server side APIs. You could use any backend to take the Form submission and return a generated PDF file.
Please find below my thoughts:
-UI and backend base logic(capturing form data) you can do with SpFx.
PDF Generation: There are few client side js scripts(e.g., jspdf)
available to generate a pdf. This can be done from SpFx. We did generated this one of the project but it was console app using csom.(but we used js files for pdf generation)
Word file generation: Power Automate can be handy here, which uses a
premium connector to convert. You might need to rely on onedrive for that.
Or
Azure Function: you can write Azure Function for the conversion
logic(pdf/docx)
API: as astanley86 said, you can create the API (takes care of conversion) and call it from spfx
SpFx is the modern development approach which is recommended by MS. SP Add-in has few cons which you can easily find from knowledge base.
I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find an answer so hopefully someone here can assist. We have a SAS program set to run weekly that is outputting a dataset to a local drive. Is there a way to get excel Power Query to see it? I can connect to datassets fine that are housed within the database but stored locally is an issue. Outputting this to the database isn't an option for us. Any ideas?
If you have the Stored Process server you can create a web query to access it, as described here: https://www.rawsas.com/sas-as-a-service-an-easy-way-to-get-sas-into-excel-power-bi-and-000s-of-other-tools-languages/
This functionality also comes bundled with https://datacontroller.io (free for up to 10 users)
Disclosure - I wrote the blog and created the product.
Alternatives:
update your job to export your data as CSV or some other format that can be read natively by excel.
Use the IOM interface and VBA
SAS Addin for excel
All these options require server SAS. In short, there is no way that Excel Power Query can connect directly to a SAS dataset on a local drive, as the .sas7bdat format is a proprietary SAS format optimised for use by SAS.
I am doing trend analysis of data from lotus notes. I need to manually export data from lotus notes and import it into excel. Is there a way to automate this? I can even work with Access. I tried to create an agent and I do not have access to do so.
There are many ways to do this, depending on your skills and your access to the Notes database.
First of all, when you say "I do not have access to [create an agent]", are you saying that you don't have designer access to the database where the data lives?
If that is the case, simply build a separate Notes application, and write your export agent there. Put that application on the same server, and you can set the export to run every night 8or whenever you like).
Another option is to use COM in Access and pull the data over that way. You have all the COM classes documnented in the Domino Designer help, and the code should be very similar to what you would writ in Lotusscript.
A third option, if the database is web enabled, is to use HTTP to pull the data out of views. You can read it using ?ReadViewEntries, either as XML or as JSON. This requires that all the data you need is exposed in the view, though.
I think the first option is the best, though. However, if you have been tasked with creating this export, you should be able to ask for proper access to the database...
I know this is a past posting, but someone may need the latest answers get to Domino Data.
You can export any view in Notes. File -> Export -> Select CSV as the option.
Then there is the IBM ODBC driver. There are two versions. One for 8.5.3 and another for 9.x. Download here http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/toolkits.html
Instructions on how to install here http://xpagesbeast.com/uxdesign/dont-forget-about-the-notessql-driver/
Using DomSQL which is a true JDBC driver for Notes Domino data. Non Notes environments can execute SQL SELECT queries using this JDBC driver.
http://www.openntf.org/main.nsf/blog.xsp?permaLink=NHEF-8Q7AW3
Using the Domino REST Services. You can access DominoData through a URL and it returns JSON. There are URLs to get all database instances on the server, then you can get all views in the server, and you can then access documents in the views.
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/xpAPIViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM+Domino+Access+Services+9.0.1#action=openDocument&content=catcontent&ct=api
If you cannot create an agent (no designer access) you can try to install NotesSQL (ODBC driver) besides your Notes Client and access with Excel, MsQuery, etc. with your user id.

Just wondering ho to use "Transact-SQL" instead of LINQ in a PLUG-IN to retrive and write data to CRM.
Is it the same as when we use "Transact-SQL" in a C# application to retreive and write data to an sql server?
I would appreciate it if you provide some example helpful links.
Thank you in advance.
Nawaf
Transact-SQL updates/insert are not supported. Transact-SQL reads are only supported when accessing the views. Use the SDK to retrieve / update CRM.
What is the best way to convert Microsoft Office documents automatically on a server? We need to convert lots of such documents automatically to PDF files. Currently we use PDFCreator with an OLE script, but it is a fragile process since Microsoft Office popups keeps interrupting the flow.
I have tried OpenOffice, but it is not good enough at converting Microsoft Office documents.
We've used the Oracle OutsideIn technology (formerly known as "Stellant") to do conversions of Office documents to XML. It was 99% effective, but there was the occasional document that would confound it.
http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/embedded/025613.htm
They appear to have a PDF Converter component, but I have not used it.
OutsideIn is pretty pricey. They are targeting the enterprise customer.

There's also KeyView from Autonomy, but we have not used that either. Looks like they do not have a direct to pdf option, but they do go to html directly.

Not sure what you mean by 'automatically', but try Google Documents. You can upload .doc files in bulk to be converted to google's format. From there, you can export (in bulk) to PDF.
To use Google Docs, get a gmail account (or google apps account) and go to docs.google.com
