Business Data Connectivity Presntation in SharePoint Business Data Connectivity (BDC) BDC Metadata Store BDC Client Runtime BDC Server Runtime Client Data Cache DB Connector WCF/WS Connector .NET Assembly Connector Custom Connector Client to Backend Direct Connection External data Custom .NET assembly SQL SAP ORACLE Siebel

  21. Business Data Connectivity Service Application • Setup • Farm Configuration Wizard • Manage Service Applications • PowerShell • Can be shared across farms • Delegated Administration

  22. What Can You Administer in the Business Data Connectivity service? • External content types • External data sources • Permissions • Associations • External data source instances • Authentication • Application models and resource files

  23. What is an External Content Type? • Connectivity • Reusable collections of metadata • Contain • Connectivity information • Data definitions • Behaviors • Dedicated Business Data Connectivity service database • Example, Customer or Order Presentation • Tooling • Lifecycle Management

  24. Using External Content Types SharePoint External Lists SharePoint Workspace with InfoPath Forms Outlook Forms and Task Panes External Content Type Customer CustomerID FirstName LastName PhoneNumber EmailAddress Search Results External data Office Applications

  25. Best Practices - Data Connections • Filter at the source • Utilize new server filtering • Make data queries on Demand • Combine with other actions such as View Switch

  26. Out-of-box Surface data in External Lists Connect those lists to Outlook, SPW External Data Columns Solution Types • Custom connectivity for data aggregation, transformation, security, etc. • Use custom code to integrate data into any Office app • Business logic in forms • Create reusable components (UI parts, ECTs, actions) • Customize • InfoPath forms • Workflow • Web Part Pages • Outlook task pane and ribbon Simple Intermediate Advanced NO CODE* CODE SharePoint Designer SharePoint SDK Visual Studio Advanced Developer Developer Power User

  27. Assemble Solutions with SharePoint Designer • Discover • Database • Web services • .NET type • Map operations • Create, read, update, delete, lookup • Connect to SharePoint/Office • External List • Contact • Task • Appointment • Post

  28. Build Applications with VS2010 • Professional developer solutions in Visual Studio • Simple drag and drop experience • Create connectivity packs in Visual Studio to • Create reusable components (UI parts, External Content Types, actions) • Custom Office Integration (add-ins) • Custom connectivity • .NET Assembly Connector • Custom Connector • Code-based business logic

  29. Development Approaches SharePoint Server (Prod / Dev) IT Admin “Live” connection WSP/ ClickOnce Package SI/IT Devs Import & Configure WSP/BDC • No code, discover and configure existing back-end integration end-points • Connect to (existing) WCF, ADO.Net and .NET Objects • Simultaneously author thin and rich client UX for External List and InfoPath Forms Produce WSP/ClickOnce Package w/BDC Model • Create custom back-end integration logic using .NET code • Author thin and rich client UX (independently) as SharePoint and VSTO customization projects SharePoint Designer Pro Dev
