Office 365: Integration Dynamics CRM with SharePoint & Outlook via ODataLayer2
Synchronizing CRM data with native SharePoint lists on-premise and in the cloud closes many issues and add features, e.g. search and Office integration, metadata or attachments, offline and mobile access, change notifications by RSS and email, workflows on data change. Users do not need any direct CRM access (or license). They work in a simplified architecture and UI with native SharePoint lists - with highest security and best performance. If you are a Microsoft Dynamics CRM customer, you will most certainly have all your business contact information stored within your CRM environment. Accessing these contacts within a collaborative environment such as Microsoft SharePoint can be of great value to every single employee. Although the CRM offers a great integration in Microsoft Outlook, it might be a massive overhead for employees who just need to access the contact details. Integrating e.g. a SharePoint contact lists with Microsoft Outlook is a much easier approach.

SharePoint: Daten Integration externer Daten ganz einfach und vollständigLayer2
Die schnelle, einfache und vollständige Integration von externen Fremddaten, z.B. aus Datenbanken, ist eine häufige Anforderung bei der Nutzung von Microsoft SharePoint Technologie. Lösungen, wie z.B. der Business Data Katalog / Business Data Catalog (BDC) in SharePoint 2007 bzw.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. Who is Layer2?
As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and ISV based in
Hamburg (Germany), Layer2 is one of the leading providers
of Microsoft SharePoint, Office 365 and Azure apps in
Europe with a major focus on Data Integration, Collaborative
Knowledge Management, Social Networking and Cloud.

customers in Central Europe, offering additional consulting
and services in the fields of SharePoint, .NET programming
and IT infrastructure for more than 20 years.
04.03.2014
Layer2 is one of the leading providers of Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365 apps in Europe

3. What is the Business Data List Connector?
The Layer2 Business Data List Connector for SharePoint (BDLC) connects
native SharePoint lists (no Web Parts, no BDC / BCS external lists) directly
to almost any external data sources, simply in the SharePoint list settings
dialog in just minutes, codeless and bi-directional.
All SharePoint list features are available as usual, e.g.
search, metadata, alerts and workflows, to take business actions in
SharePoint, when external data records are changed.
The BDLC simplifies your SharePoint architecture, overcomes limitations
and solves many issues that still exists with SharePoint out-of-the-box data
integration via BDC and BCS today.
BDLC requires SharePoint on premises to install. If you are looking for a
cloud-based solution for SharePoint Online / Office 365, please try the
Layer2 Cloud Connector product with similar features, but different
architecture.
04.03.2014
The Business Data List Connector makes ALL native SharePoint list features available for external data

4. How does the Business Data List Connector
work?
On demand or scheduled
Inserts, Updates, Deletes
LOB
Data
Real-Time Inserts,
Updates, Deletes*
Cloud Data
* If supported by data provider, query and access rights.
04.03.2014
The Business Data List Connector makes ALL native SharePoint list features available for external data
4
5. What can be connected to SharePoint
Databases with existing ODBC / OLEDB / OData or other .NET based
drivers, e.g. SQL Server, SQL Azure, Oracle, IBM
DB2, Informix, AS/400, MySQL and many more.
Files like Microsoft Office Excel, Access, XML, CSV or other text files.
Applications like Exchange, Active Directory, SharePoint, etc.
ERP / CRM / DMS / CMS systems like Navision, SAP, MS Dynamics, etc.
Cloud-based systems like Salesforce, SharePoint Online, Office 365, CRM
Online, Google, Twitter, Facebook, RSS or other XML-based web
requests, etc.
04.03.2014
Almost any data source can be connected to SharePoint via Business Data List Connector
5
6. Business Data List Connector – Why we made it?
SharePoint out-of-the-box solutions for external data integration such as the Business
Data Catalog (BDC, 2007) and Business Connectivity Services (BCS, 2010 / 2013) are
not available for all SharePoint editions and they have serious limitations. The BDLC
works with all SharePoint on-premise editions and has no limitations compared to native
SharePoint lists. You have views, metadata, search, alerts, workflows as usual. No
problems with forms or 3rd party extensions .
BDC / BCS are difficult to configure: Tools, XML, customizing or even programming are
required. The BDLC is easily configured in the SharePoint list settings. Every admin
can do.
BDC / BCS only displays the external data inside SharePoint UI. That causes not only
functional limitations, but also a complicated architecture with real-time user access to
all external sources at any page call, performance issues and possibly licensing issues
as well. With BDLC users access native SharePoint lists only with high performance
and availability.
SharePoint users are familiar with lists. Lists are the common way to work with data in
SharePoint. Most SharePoint features are based on lists, e.g. to take data offline or
display at mobile devices.
BDC / BCS is difficult to upgrade. BDLC lists are very easy to migrate from SharePoint
2007 to 2010 / 2013 – no changes at all.
04.03.2014
BDLC overcomes limitations and solves issues that still exists with out-of-the-box SharePoint data integration

BDLC requires a few inputs only to be configured - everyone can do
12
13. BDLC for SharePoint – Primary Key
In most cases your external data has one or more primary
key(s).
If a primary key is available, then changed data is updated.
Otherwise all items are deleted and re-inserted, a possible
performance issue.
The fields must not be native primary keys – but unique in
column.
For more information about possible primary keys / field
names please use data preview and check field mappings.
The primary key is automatically mapped to the Title field if it
is not mapped otherwise, e.g. by using
“Select myField as Title …” .

BDLC requires a few inputs only to be configured - everyone can do
15
16. BDLC for SharePoint – Background Update
You can optionally enable “Background Update” to
schedule the SharePoint list updates. Please keep in
mind, that data source updates are real-time in any
case (if write-back enabled).
The list updates are done automatically by a timer
job, one time per hour by default.
You can modify this interval. It is limited by the timer
job interval (you can adjust in CA, 10 minutes by
default). Please note the duration time depends on
amount of data, amount of changes, and
configuration.
If primary key(s) are given, updates usually are done
very, very fast.
04.03.2014
With BDLC you have flexible options to keep your data current
16
17. BDLC for SharePoint – Update on Demand
You can optionally update the SharePoint list on
demand.
You can use the Action Menu (SharePoint 2007) or
the Ribbon (SharePoint 2010 / 2013) to start a list
update.
You can update the list per URL via
<siteurl>/_layouts/layer2/bdlcupdate.aspx?
list=<guid>&source=<Url> where <siteurl> is the url
of the site that hosts the BDLC list with <guid>
(required) , <guid> is the SharePoint BDLC list guid
(required), <Url> is the URL to redirect after update
(optionally).
Developers can use the BDLC API to update the list
per workflow or program code. See sample code in
distribution.
04.03.2014

17
18. BDLC for SharePoint – Write-Back
You can optionally write changes made in the SharePoint list
back to data source with “write-back” enabled in BDLC
settings, including insert, update, delete.
Changes are fired immediately to data source when they are
committed to the SharePoint list.
Your provider must support write-back (for example you
can‟t write to a RSS data source because its read-only).
Your access rights must allow write-back on the external
data source (e.g. in a database).
Your query must be updatable (for example most database
table joins are not). A primary key is required at the data
source side.
You can use the SharePoint data sheet list view with writeback enabled without any restrictions.
Generally full CRUD (Create / Update / Delete) is
supported, e.g. for using a SharePoint list as a database
front end. Please note that database side calculated primary
keys (e.g. ID counter) are not supported. Please use GUIDs
on both sides. See FAQs for more detailed information.
04.03.2014

18
19. BDLC for SharePoint –Highest Security
With BDLC your users do not access your external data
directly. That gives you the highest security level possible.
You can hide your connection settings by disable access to
list settings for your users by SharePoint access rights
settings.
You can use integrated authentication if supported by the
data provider.
You can hide the connection string in web.config for WFE
servers. If you define a term myConnectionString in your
AppSettings section of web.config, you can use
web.config:myConnectionString as BDLC connection string.
With SharePoint 2010 / 2013 you can use the new Secure
Store to store connection settings. See FAQs for more.
Please note that BDLC is proven to be aware against SQL
injection by design.
04.03.2014
With BDLC you have highest seurity for your external data
19
20. BDLC for SharePoint – Highest Performance
End users do access native SharePoint list data only for
highest performance – not the external source.
For best update performance use as few columns as
possible, e.g. no select * from myTable.
Restrict your result set if possible using where clauses or
similar.
Fast SharePoint batch API is used to commit changes only.
BDLC is proven to work with up to 100.000 records /
items, depending on configuration and data source
performance. Please note that the configuration must meet
the Microsoft requirements.
For manual browser-based updates you possibly need to
adjust time out settings for web application (see FAQ).
