I’ve done some posts about multi-tenancy and BCS lately, but haven’t combined the two. So todays topic (and no, it’s not a joke…) will be BCS in a multi tenant environment. Mainly because you have some choices to make and I want to provide you with some input on which you might be able to

I created this little script I wanted to share, which loops though a web application; finds all site subscriptions (for multitenancy) and exports both the sites in there and the settings of the subscription. You could use the result to import the sites again into a test environment (for instance). $url = "http://contoso.com" $share =

For our multitenant (partitioned) environment, I wanted to use the Secure Store Service Application to store credentials for a database. To be specific; I wanted those credentials to be available for BCS to gain access to the database.

As I was developing my sandboxed solution, I used my local development environment to compile, deploy and test my solution. All was well and my solution was working the way I wanted it to. So, time to deploy to SharePoint Online. I created a fresh new site, uploaded my solution and activated my feature. Wait

As promised, here are some of the notes I took at last weeks TechDays in The Netherlands. Some (perhaps even all) might already be known to you, but perhaps these help others to create better SharePoint solutions 🙂 I’m posting them as a little self reminder. In the object model, you frequently work with an SPWeb object.

Judging by that stats, it seems like my blog was offline for a while. I assume my hosting party is going to let me know what went wrong here, so we can prevent the same from happening in the future. Apologies for the inconvenience! On a more positive note, I visited TechDays in the Netherlands

Since I’ve been working on SharePoint Online, and thus Sandboxed Solutions, I noticed a lack in the development tools. Where the CKS extensions for Visual Studio offer the option to choose “Upgrade” as a development method, this doesn’t work on sandboxed solutions. The upgrade process for sandboxed solutions is different; you need to upload your
