Session Goals
Describe not just the WHAT & HOW, but the WHY…
SharePoint Saturday Conferences are NOT SALES PITCHES…
SharePoint Saturday Conferences are venues for sharing TECHNIQUES…
SharePoint Saturday Conferences are venues for sharing VISIONS…
SESSION GOALS:
• Describe a methodology for identifying genuine opportunities for
innovation…
• Show what came from applying that methodology to organizations
with SharePoint & Salesforce as “anchor” technologies…
• Tour the individual components which comprise some useful
SharePoint-Salesforce integration…
• Discuss next-steps where this can be headed, and how the
methodology can be re-purposed with other technologies.

The Big Picture…
HOW to know WHAT to “integrate”?...
It’s about more than simply “CAN we do something?”…
• Clients regularly tell us they’ve “tons of vendors who can do what we tell them”…
• Where clients need help is in understanding what they should be asking !
• Clients need a consulting partner who can provide genuine thought leadership.
Purpose of this Demo: Demonstrate a methodology for innovation !
• Emtec calls this RIGHT-MAPPING™:
• Understanding The Users and The Technologies
• Right-Fitting the strengths of each technology to actual user needs
• Illustrating faults in current technology usage
• Road-Mapping creation of integration points (making it affordable & steerable)
• Tracing solution functionality back to actual business needs
• Tracing business needs back to representative personas
• Tracing personas back to actual business users

Right-Mapping™…
How we decide what & why to integrate…
INTERVIEW clients and would-be clients (this is surprisingly easy!)
FOLLOW our Right-Mapping™ Exercise to generate a Functional Gap Set
DEVELOP a set of “point” integration solutions to address the Gap Set
COMBINE the set into an overall solution of genuine, traceable value!

Applied Methodology
Right-Mapping applied to SharePoint-Salesforce…
So what do you actually GET when you apply Emtec’s Right-Mapping Exercise to
organization with both SharePoint and Salesforce as “anchor” technologies?
SharePoint Users (aka “SalesForce Haters”):
I want to stay in SharePoint when I’m creating my content...
I don’t want to duplicate my effort by replicating that content in SalesForce…
I need all of my teammates (SharePoint lovers & SalesForce lovers) to be in-the-know…
SalesForce Users (aka “SharePoint Haters”):
I want to stay in SalesForce when I’m working…
I don’t want to learn another (SharePoint) UI/UX when I’m trying to work all day…
I still need to be able to find & access content (e.g. news, docs) stored in SharePoint…
TAKEAWAY: The Elegant Solution is “SharePoint-POWERED SalesForce”…

Solution Vision:
a SharePoint-Powered SalesForce UI/UX!…
TAKEAWAY: SharePoint hidden within SalesForce is a GOOD THING…
Salesforce lovers get what THEY need to be productive…

Demonstration:
Emtec’s SharePoint-Powered SalesForce…
TAKEAWAY: SharePoint hidden within SalesForce is a GOOD THING…
• SharePoint Library functionality
– Upload to SharePoint from Salesforce
– Attach SharePoint file to Salesforce account/opportunity
• SearchByKeyword SharePoint from inside Salesforce Page
– Search Entry Widget
– Search Results Widget
• SearchByProperty SharePoint from inside Salesforce Page
– Important News from SharePoint Canned Search Widget

Demonstration:
The elegance & power of the REST Search API…
A simple SearchSharePointByKeyword example…

Demonstration:
The elegance & power of the REST Search API…
A complex SearchSharePointByProperty example…
KEY PARTS OF REST SEARCH API’s “MAGIC SPELLS”…
• querytext parameter can be MORE than a keyword!
• querytext parameter can contain ENTIRE QUERIES including PROPERTY-
centric criteria!
• “:” means “CONTAINS”
• Boolean AND and OR operations WORK!
• “-” means “NOT” (extremely POWERFUL!)
• selectproperties parameter controls what’s returned
RESULT: extremely powerful and efficient searches returning XML or JSON
WOWSERS!...

Solution Overview:
An SOA-based approach…
TAKEAWAY: Salesforce Form + SharePoint Function = PRODUCTIVITY
• VisualForce (custom SalesForce) pages DON’T directly consume the .NET-based web service & methods!
• SalesForce “imports” the web service and generates SF “WRAPPER” classes & methods!
• VisualForce pages then uses native “Apex” (SF’s proprietary web app dev language) code to interact with
the SalesForce session AND consume these wrapper classes and their methods to INTEGRATE SharePoint
functionality & content into SALESFORCE web pages.

Solution Overview:
A peek into an “Apex” page explains a LOT…
You DON’T need to be an Apex programmer to understand Apex code enough to “get” this…
Native SF Apex methods leverage the SF API to get
settings (encrypted/encoded authtoken string) …
… decode and unencrypt the string to yield the credentials….
// #### SNIPPET FROM Apex class file “SharePointAuthenticate” ##### //
…
public static String getTokenFromUser(){
User usr= [select id,name, SP_Token__c from User where id=:UserInfo.getuserId()];
return usr.SP_Token__c;
}
public Static String getSPUserName(){
String authToken = getTokenFromUser();
blob authBlob = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(authToken);
Blob cryptoKey = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(label.Crypto_Key);
Blob decryptedData = Crypto.decryptWithManagedIV('AES256', cryptoKey, authBlob);
// Decode the decrypted data for subsequent use…
String decryptedDataString = decryptedData.toString();
list<String> userName = decryptedData.toString().split(':');
if(userName.size() > 0)
return userName[0];
else
return '';
}

Solution Overview:
A peek into an “Apex” page explains a LOT…
WELCOME to Service-Oriented Architecture !
// #### SNIPPET FROM Apex class file “SearchQueryController” ##### //
…
private void makeCallout(String userAuthToken, String dataToSearch){
try{
resultWrapperList = new list<SPSearchResultWrapperClass>();
authToken = SharePointAuthentication.getTokenFromUser();
tempuriOrg.BasicHttpBinding_ISPService wbsrvc= new tempuriOrg.BasicHttpBinding_ISPService();
wbsrvc.timeout_x= 120000;
schemasDatacontractOrg200407EmtecE.GenericResponseOfArrayOfSearchResultVKMb8a_Ph response=
wbsrvc.Search_x(userAuthToken,dataToSearch);
if(response.Success){
schemasDatacontractOrg200407EmtecE.ArrayOfSearchResult arrayOfSearch= response.ResponseData;
if(arrayOfSearch.SearchResult != null){
for(schemasDatacontractOrg200407EmtecE.SearchResult seachObj: arrayOfSearch.SearchResult){
SPSearchResultWrapperClass wrapperObj = new SPSearchResultWrapperClass();
wrapperObj.className = seachObj.Class_x;
wrapperObj.id = ''+seachObj.Id;
wrapperObj.title = seachObj.Title;
wrapperObj.url = seachObj.URL;
wrapperObj.creator = seachObj.Author;
wrapperObj.format = seachObj.Format;
wrapperObj.size = ''+seachObj.Size;
wrapperObj.CREATED = ''+seachObj.CreatedDate;
resultWrapperList.add(wrapperObj);
}
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex){
…
… which are then used with the new SF-managed wrapper classes & their methods…
… to interact with SHAREPOINT…
… which returns
response objects…
… which are then processed by the
SF page’s Apex code to render the
results in the SF page 

AND
• Custom SalesForce Visual Force pages (Apex);
• Custom SalesForce widgets (aka web parts);
• Imported SalesForce Wrapper Classes
(force.com-based instances of SPService classes)

Solution Detail:
The “SharePoint Gateway” Web Service CODE…
TAKEAWAY: SharePoint’s APIs enable you to re-create functionality that
CAN be consumed from a SalesForce web page!
namespace Emtec.EmShareMobDocumentServiceLib
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface ISPService
{
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "Authenticate/?authtoken={authtoken}")]
GenericResponse<AuthResult> Authenticate(string authtoken);
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "Authenticate/?authtoken={authtoken}")]
GenericResponse<AuthResult> Authenticate(string authtoken);
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "GetDocumentsByFolderName/?authtoken={authtoken}&foldername={foldername}")]
GenericResponse<List<DocumentData>> GetDocumentsByFolderName(string authtoken, string foldername);
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "GetFileContent/?authtoken={authtoken}&documentPath={documentPath}")]
GenericResponse<string> GetFileContent(string authtoken, string documentPath);
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = “UploadFileToSharePoint/?authtoken={authtoken}&libraryName={libraryName}&folderName={folderName}"
GenericResponse<string> UploadFileToSharePoint(string authtoken, string libraryName, string folderName);
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = “SearchSharePointByKeyword/?authtoken={authtoken}&strQueryText={strQueryText}")]
GenericResponse<string> SearchSharePointByKeyword(string authtoken, string strQueryText);
//... 20+ other methods common to SharePoint libraries, queries and searches ...
}
}

Solution Detail
AUTHENTICATING -How credentials work…
STANDARD SALESFORCE USER PROFILE
contains new fields for conveniently storing &
retrieving encoded & encrypted credentials…
POPULATE this SPToken field
during The User’s first-time
use of any “SharePoint-
Powered” widget (e.g.
Search Sidebar Widget)

Solution Detail:
Creating a SharePoint AuthToken from SalesForce data…
public static AuthToken DecodeFromAuthTokenString(this string authtoken)
{
AuthToken token = new AuthToken();
try
{
string basicAuthData = DecryptAuthTokenString(authtoken);
string[] strAuthParts = basicAuthData.Split(':');
if (strAuthParts.Length == 2)
{
if (strAuthParts[0].Split('').Length == 2)
{
token.Domain = strAuthParts[0].Split('')[0];
token.UserName = strAuthParts[0].Split('')[1];
}
else
{
token.UserName = strAuthParts[0];
}
token.Password = strAuthParts[1];
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
token = null;
}
return token;
}
START by passing the
encrypted & encoded
SPTokenString from the
SalesForce Current User
(“Usr”) object… DECRYPT the incoming
authtoken string into a big
parse-able string…
INSTANTIATE an empty AuthToken object…
… and ASSIGN values to the
new AuthToken object from
pieces of the decrypted
authtoken string…
… and RETURN an actual AuthToken object for use in making
authenticated web method calls to SPService !

Solution Detail:
…and continues with GetContext(AuthToken)…
…
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
…
namespace Emtec.EmShareMobDocumentServiceLib
{
public class SpHelper
{
private ClientContext GetContext(AuthToken token)
{
ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(Constants.SpUrl);
//Configure the handler that will add the header…
ctx.ExecutingWebRequest += new EventHandler<WebRequestEventArgs>(ctx_MixedAuthRequest);
//Set the Windows credentials...
ctx.AuthenticationMode = ClientAuthenticationMode.Default;
CredentialCache cc = new CredentialCache();
cc.Add(new Uri(Constants.SpUrl), Constants.AuthType, new NetworkCredential(token.UserName, token.Password
ctx.Credentials = cc;
return ctx;
}//end of GetContext
}
}
…
INSTANTIATE an actual
SHAREPOINT ClientContext object…
SET both the Authentication Mode and a (persistant) CredentialCache object
which contains EVERYTHING about the SharePoint Context (session)…
RETURN this SharePoint Context object, and now you have an “authenticated session” into
SharePoint, and can execute ANY CSOM or REST method using this security context !...
TAKEAWAY: Once the webservice code has a ClientContext object, it’s “in” SharePoint…

Solution Detail:
A “SharePoint Library” Widget…
TAKEAWAY: Salesforce Users only care if they can access their related documents. Period.
TRUTH: You can’t
actually EMBED a
SharePoint library into a
Salesforce web page (e.g.
IFRAMES), but…
DUCK THEORY: If it looks
like a duck and walks like
a duck and quacks like a
duck and flies like a duck
and swims like a duck…
IT’S A DUCK.
… you CAN provide
CRUD functions to
remotely interact with
SharePoint Libraries !

Solution Detail:
SharePoint Library Widget KEY CODE…
public GenericResponse<List<DocumentData>> GetDocumentsByFolderName(string authtoken, string foldername)
{
SPHelper helper = new SPHelper();
return helper.GetDocumentsByList(authtoken.DecodeFromAuthTokenString(), foldername);
}
public GenericResponse<List<DocumentData>> GetDocumentsByList(AuthToken token, string listName)
{
List<DocumentData> listdata = new List<DocumentData>();
GenericResponse<List<DocumentData>> genericResponse = new GenericResponse<List<DocumentData>>();
using (ClientContext ctx = GetContext(token))
{
try
{
var getlist = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listName);
ctx.Load(getlist);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();
camlQuery.ViewXml = @"<View></View>";
ListItemCollection listItems = getlist.GetItems(camlQuery);
ctx.Load(listItems);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
if (listItems != null)
{
foreach (ListItem item in listItems)
{
PERFORM common SharePoint library operations by re-creating this
SharePoint functionality using CSOM API (classes & methods)…
METHODS executed by the SPService (“gateway” web service) server…
COMMON STEPS ACROSS ALL CODE:
1. RETRIEVE the authtoken string from SalesForce session/user object…
2. PASS the authtoken string as a input parameter…
3. TRANSFORM the authtoken string into an AuthToken object (critical!)…
4. INSTANTIATE a SharePoint “ClientContext” object (critical!)…
5. PASS the AuthToken object on all “SharePoint-y” method calls…
6. PERFORM all SharePoint-y operations  …
7. RINSE
8. REPEAT

Solution Detail:
SearchSharePointIndex() method KEY CODE…
TAKEAWAY: The SharePoint CSOM KeywordQuery class works, but REST API is BETTER…
public GenericResponse<List<DocumentData>> SearchSharepointSearchIndex(AuthToken token, string seacrhText)
{
List<DocumentData> listdata = new List<DocumentData>();
GenericResponse<List<DocumentData>> genericResponse = new GenericResponse<List<DocumentData>>();
string path = string.Empty ;
string title = string.Empty; ;
using (ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(Constants.SpUrl))
{
//uses keyword query class to do search
var keywordQuery = new KeywordQuery(ctx);
keywordQuery.QueryText = seacrhText;
//send the query to search engine
var searchExecutor = new SearchExecutor(ctx);
var results = searchExecutor.ExecuteQuery(keywordQuery);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var resultRow in results.Value[0].ResultRows)
{
path = Convert.ToString(resultRow["Path"]);
title = Convert.ToString(resultRow["Title"]);
}
}
return genericResponse;
}

Solution Detail:
SearchSharePointIndex() method KEY CODE…
public GenericResponse<List<SearchResults>> QueryAllSharepointContentResponse(AuthToken token, string seacrhUri)
{
GenericResponse<List<SearchResults>> genericResponse = new GenericResponse<List<SearchResults>>();
List<SearchResults> objSearchResults = new List<SearchResults>();
XDocument doc = new XDocument();
// Create a request for the URL...
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(seacrhUri);
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(token.UserName, token.Password, Constants.Domain);
// Get the response...
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
// Get the stream containing content returned by the server...
Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access...
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
//Read the content...
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
var xdoc = XDocument.Parse(responseFromServer);
XNamespace nSpace = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices";
DocumentData docListData = new DocumentData();
foreach (XElement cells in xdoc.Descendants(nSpace + "Cells"))
{
SearchResults objSearch = new SearchResults();
foreach (XElement element in cells.Descendants(nSpace + "element"))
{
…
}
objSearchResults.Add(objSearch);
}
genericResponse.Success = true;
genericResponse.ErrorMessage = string.Empty;
genericResponse.ResponseData = objSearchResults;
return genericResponse;
}
TAKEAWAY: The SharePoint REST API provides keyword-centric and property-centric criteria!…

Solution Detail:
A “SharePoint Search Results” Widget…
CAN: create a
custom SharePoint
Search Page with:
- SharePoint Search
Sidebar Widget; and
- SharePoint Search
Results Page Widget
(next-best thing) 
CAN’T: modify the native Salesforce Search Results Page (optimal solution)…
