I have a question about Sharepoint Online debugging.
I've created a Sharepoint app with Visual 2015, destined to sharepoint-online and it's sharepoint hosted. Inside, I have a very simple workflow.
When I try to debug it, the following message appears:
Is it necessary to have an Azure account to debug a workflow? Are there any other options in workflow development?
If it helps, the deployment environment is Office 365.
It is necessary to have an Azure account to debug SharePoint Online/Office 365 workflows. This is because you can't access certain components that are used for debugging a local SharePoint workflow. Instead Microsoft created the Relay Service component of the Microsoft Azure Service Bus. (A secure component that they charge for hosting)
Before this component was released it does't appear debugging was possible. (See article below)
Debugging Workflows In SharePoint 2013 Online using Azure.
If you have an MSDN subscription or work for a Microsoft partner organization you should receive some free access to Azure.
Workflow debugging for SharePoint Online requires a Windows Azure Service Bus connection.
To enable remote debugging:
With a project selected in Solution Explorer, Right click on the Project menu ans select Properties.
Click the Debug tab.
Select the Use remote machine check box.
In the Use remote machine field, enter the name of the remote machine, using the format \\domain\machinename.

I need to add a colleague to my development environment (specifically VisualStudioOnline - TFS) and the doc I've read about how to do this shows differently than what I see when I try.
I am the only user of Visual Studio 2012 in my small company. I am using Visual Studio Online for Source Control (as I understand it, this exposes Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Service - Version 15.115.26417.0 as a "service" (i.e. this is the cloud...there is no on-premise TFS installed). Currently, I am using a LOCAL workspace (the default) and TFVC (not GIT).
I added my NewUserA to the Administrators group on the dev server. When click menu item Team to Connect to TFS, I am prompted to sign-in with my "Microsoft" account.
However, when I try to add NewUserA to my TFS, the dialog below seems unable to search for the existence of NewUserA:
It seems to want an "identity" of NewUserA (which suggests an email address too) so it sort of makes sense that this prompt does not look for locally added Windows users.
I am quite confused and would appreciate being helped thru this.
If your VSTS account isn't connected to Azure Active Directory and you're not synchronizing your on-premises AD to AAD, then of course it won't be able to find users from your on-prem domain. If that's the case, you can add users by email address and they'll be prompted to sign up for a Microsoft account (if they don't already have one) using that address. This is different than an organizational account, which is what you'd use if you were connected to Azure AD.
I was previously using Team Foundation services free account on the cloud with my Hotmail account. Now I am try to install TFS on a server computer. Everything worked fine. But then I noticed that I dont see the "Process" Menu option in my on Premise TFS account, while this shows up in the other account.
So, how can I enable "Process" menu option in my On Premise TFS web portal? So that I can configure the Work Item types and the process.
Below is my snapshot of my cloud account that does have the "Process" menu option.
While here is the image of On Premises account that has a very simple menu option.
The Process option menu only shows in Team Services (the cloud), there isn’t this option in On-Premises TFS web portal.
If you work in an on-premises TFS, and want to customize a process template,
you can download the zipped template file using the Process Template Manager. You'll need to use a version of Visual Studio that is at the same version level as TFS. You can install the latest version of Visual Studio Community for free.
Please see Upload or download a process template and Customize a process template for details.
To configure the Work Item types and the process please see Add or modify a work item type.
Question 1: I have made my application in office 365 Sharepoint using Napa.I want to host my application on central administration now to make it on premise. How do I do it please guide me.
Question 2: My other question is how can other user access my application add-in.Do I need to publish it in SharePoint app store so that when one open their share point they add their application and then ready to go.
Question 3: Is Sharepoint app store for on-premise in central Administration and In office 365 -->Sharepoint-->app store is same.If I publish my application in Office 365 SharePoint app store would it same available in SharePoint app store which is in central administration means on premise.
If any tutorial or link will seriously help me a lot.
Answer 1: If you used Napa tool to build an app you can open the same in VS as well. Package the same and deployed the same on your on-premise system. To verify that your app is working correctly please deploy the same on developer site (create a site collection via choosing developer template).
Answer 2: Yes you need to publish your app (having extension .app) in SharePoint via app catalog so that other users will able to access the same.
Answer 3: Both SharePoint app catalog for On-Premise app and office 365 SharePoint app store are different. For local(on-premise) user you have to publish your app on-premise and for other you have to publish it on office 365 SharePoint app store.
Below mentioned links will help you to publish your app
1. For office 365 :- Submit Office and SharePoint Add-ins and Office 365 web apps to the Office Store

For on-premise:-

I've recently built an ASP.NET website using C#.
Using the publishing wizard within Visual Studio 2013 I see that I can publish to "Microsoft Azure Websites", and I have done so. It worked great.
However, logging into the Azure account I'm not able to locate this website anywhere so that I may manage it directly, and see what the burn rate (costs) are.
Where are these "Microsoft Azure Websites" stored once they are published, within Azure?
Many thanks in advance.

Under Web Apps in the old portal and under App Services in the new one.
I would like to begin on development for sharepoint.
Instead of setting up a dev environment on premise, I would like to set up one on Azure.
I've found some tutorials http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sharepointdev/archive/2013/09/26/create-sharepoint-2013-development-environments-quickly-on-azure.aspx but each on use Visual Studio RC. When I try to create one with Visual Studio Ultimate, there's no "Configure Developer Desktop" folder and I don't know how to set up tools and which tools?
Do you have a follow up or a virtual drive that I can use?
If you have the chance to have an msdn subscription, you can follow http://visualstudio2013msdngalleryimage.azurewebsites.net/
Best, you can subscribe to an office 365 account and more easily deploy to your new sharepoint site
I have written this in detail using 3 staged approach. The first of the post is available at this link
http://wellytonian.com/2014/10/sharepoint-2013-development-platform-azure/. Basically you can setup a complete SharePoint 2013 standalone server, setup the point to site vpn and connect. Code away :)
