Solution Package Deployment in Microsoft SharePoint

The article describes solution package deployment in Microsoft SharePoint. This is the first step of Prognoz Platform 9 integration with Microsoft SharePoint.

The following solutions are implemented within the integration of Prognoz Platform 9 with Microsoft SharePoint:

• Prognoz.P9.Webparts.wsp. Prognoz Platform 9 web part is created, which is further added to Microsoft SharePoint web page. The web part allows displaying any report (express report, regular report, dashboard and so on) on the web page.

• Prognoz.P9.Web.Sharepoint.wsp. Launching the task located in Prognoz Platform 9 scheduled tasks container from the Microsoft SharePoint workflow using the PPSomService service.

These solutions are *.wsp packages which require the following operations to deploy in Microsoft SharePoint.

NOTE. To get *.wsp package, contact helpdesk support support@fsight.ru or use helpdesk support services, which are available after registration on the site.

To execute operations given below you need the workstation with installed and configured Microsoft SharePoint services (the manual contains settings for Microsoft SharePoint 2013).

Steps

Step 1. Place the solution (*.wsp package) in the Microsoft SharePoint solutions warehouse:

1. Use the Start button to open the Microsoft SharePoint management shell: Start > Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Products> SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.

2. In the shell, run the following command Add-SPSolution <Path to solution>. After successfully placing the solution in the store, the name and identifier of the solution and its status (Deployed: False) are displayed in the shell:

NOTE. To remove the solution from the store, run the command Uninstall-SPSolution -Identity <solution name> or Remove-SPSolution -Identity <solution name>.

Step 2. Deploy the solution package on the SharePoint portal:

1. Launch the Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Administration Center (Start > Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Products > SharePoint 2013 Administration Center) and go to the System Settings section.

2. Go to the Manage Farm Features section on the System Settings page:

The Manage Solutions window opens where solutions added to the Microsoft SharePoint store with the Not Deployed status are displayed.

3. Click the name of the added solution. The Solution Properties page opens. Click the Deploy Solution link. Select the Now radio button in the dialog box if the solution should be deployed now. If the solution should be deployed at another time, select the At This Time radio button and select the date and time. Click the OK button. The solution is deployed.

After packages are deployed in Microsoft SharePoint, add web parts of Prognoz Platform 9 to the Microsoft SharePoint site page.
