R – Sharepoint webservices

sharepointsharepoint-2003web services

I have a couple of Sharepoint portals (Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 + SQL Server) running and they should both share some commom data. I was planning on working with two separate lists, and build a web app that will be responsible for updating them both throught the WSS Lists Service (http://server/_ vti_bin/lists.asmx). I'm wondering if that's a commom practice? Should I be concerned about the scalability of such solution? – the list should grow at a rate of ~3000 records per month.

Sorry for the poor title, I couldn't think of a better one.

If i understand correctly the web app you will be building is NOT a SharePoint web application, simply an ASP.NET web app that will call into the SharePoint to update lists with data presumably collected by your application.

This is a perfecty acceptable scheme, I think its exactly what the list web services are intended for.

The only trickiness you may run into is if you have to back-haul data from one of the lists back into your webapplication. Bi-directional synchronization is always a sticky wicket.

Expand Recurring Events from a Sharepoint Calendar over WebServices

Finally got this to work correctly and return all recurrent events on a SharePoint Calendar. Here is the XML for the Web Service Query:

<GetListItems xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/'>
<listName>{your GUID goes here}</listName>
<query>
 <Query>
  <Where>
   <DateRangesOverlap>
    <FieldRef Name=\"EventDate\" />
    <FieldRef Name=\"EndDate\" />
    <FieldRef Name=\"RecurrenceID\" />
    <Value Type='DateTime'><Year/></Value>
   </DateRangesOverlap>
  </Where>
 </Query>
</query>
<queryOptions>
 <QueryOptions>
  <ExpandRecurrence>TRUE</ExpandRecurrence>
 </QueryOptions>
</queryOptions>
</GetListItems>

The key was not only setting the ExpandRecurrence option to true - you also have to include the value in the DateRangeOverlap to Year.
