As a result, the search results from within one portal site might be very different from the search results within another portal site if they are associated with different SSPs that have been configured to have different content sources. User profiles are a MOSS feature that has been carried over from SPS to track information about the users within an organization. Profiles allow users to learn more about the people they work with and see how everyone fits into their company's organization chart.

User profiles also provide the foundation for other MOSS features such as audience targeting and personal sites. MOSS provides several standard pages and Web Parts to display the information tracked within user profiles. As with SPS , user profiles can be extended with custom properties to track user data for domain-specific business solutions. However, MOSS enhances custom properties by allowing for multivalued properties and properties defined with open or closed vocabularies.

When it's time to write custom code against a user profile, you can program against the UserProfileManager to load and inspect the property values for a specific user.

Figure 6 shows a simple example of code written in the RenderContents method for a custom Web Part to display all property values within the user profile of the current user. Audience targeting is another valuable feature that has been carried over from SPS You can create an audience by specifying criteria to define a subset of users. For example, you can create a Sales audience that is defined as all the users who are members of an Active Directory group named Sales.

You could define another audience named Carpool as the set of users with the custom Carpool property's value set to True. Once you have defined an audience, you can then configure a Web Part to conditionally display its content only when the current user is a member of that audience.

Audience targeting is a great way to show privileged users links to secured pages while hiding these links from non-privileged users who would receive Access Denied errors when attempting to follow them. This makes it straightforward to target content to those users who need it while hiding that content from users who either don't want to or shouldn't see it.

One more feature carried over from SPS that is built on user profiles is personal sites. When personal sites are enabled within an SSP, MOSS will provide each user with his own personal site—a My Site—that is provisioned on demand the first time it is used. Personal sites enable users to edit certain aspects of their user profiles to better describe themselves to their coworkers.

A personal site has a public aspect, which makes it easy for a user to share data and documents with other users within the organization.

A personal site also has a private aspect, allowing a user to store data and documents that are not meant to be shared. SPS search makes it possible to search through, not only content and documents within SPS portal sites and WSS team sites, but also through external content such as Windows file shares, public Microsoft Exchange Server folders, and standard Web sites.

MOSS search was designed to give you these same features in a manner that is more performance oriented and easier to configure. These upgrade problems have been addressed, as the WSS and MOSS search services are now based on the same underlying indexing and search infrastructure, which is an evolved version of what was provided by SPS MOSS search can be configured to run the indexing service and search service on different servers within a farm to increase scalability and throughput.

WSS search is limited to running the indexing service and search service on the same physical server. Configuring MOSS search is an administrative exercise that entails creating and configuring content sources within the scope of a particular SSP. A content source defines a set of searchable content.

However, the SSP administrator must explicitly create and configure additional content sources to support building indexes and searching through external content such as documents in a Windows file share or content from a public Web site. WSS 3. MOSS goes even further to supply a dedicated child site named Search Center within a portal site collection that provides a specialized user interface for searching, as shown in Figure 7. You might conclude that companies can take full advantage of MOSS search facilities without ever writing any custom code.

For example, you can write a server-side component such as a Web Part or a custom workflow that queries the MOSS search service programmatically and deals with the returned search results in a customized fashion. Likewise, you can create a Windows Forms application that queries the search service from across the network through built-in MOSS Web services. While SPS made it possible to integrate portal sites with back-end systems, it required you to write custom code to manage connections and retrieve the data you needed to display.

Furthermore, the required code changed significantly if you switched between back-end systems from vendors such as SAP and PeopleSoft. The Office team designed the BDC to make things much easier. The BDC enables you to integrate data from back-end systems without requiring custom code for managing connections and retrieving data. The BDC design is based on standardized metadata that describes the location and format of a back-end system and data entities defined within it.

The BDC also provides an execution component that is capable of reading BDC metadata and that is able to retrieve external data from back-end systems and return that data to MOSS in a standardized format. Figure 8 shows the high-level architecture of the BDC. As you can see, connectivity between the BDC and traditional line-of-business systems is achieved by using standard Web services. NET providers. When you author metadata for the BDC, you define the data you want to retrieve in terms of entities.

For example, you might define a customer as one entity and an invoice as another entity. The BDC metadata format also lets you define associations between entities in scenarios when there is a one-to-many relationship such as one that might exist between customers and invoices. The definition of a BDC entity contains identifiers, properties, and methods.

The methods define how the BDC interacts with entry points exposed by the back-end system. For a back-end system accessible through Web services, methods define the names of the Web service operations and the parameters required to call them.

Entities can also define actions. For example, an action defined on a BDC customer entity could be written to redirect users to a Web page in an SAP application that supports updates to customer information. Actions were designed to support scenarios where the BDC is used to display read-only data and to bootstrap the user into another application when updating or some other type of external operation is required.

You can accomplish this by using the SSP administrative Web pages. Once you have imported the required metadata, there are several out-of-the-box techniques to display the BDC application's data within a portal site. You can also add new columns to lists and document libraries based on an entity defined in a BDC application. A user editing a column based on a BDC entity is automatically presented with a user interface making it possible to query the back-end system.

For example, a back-end system and its entities can be defined as a content source so that the MOSS indexing service will crawl through its data and build indexes for the search engine. This becomes a powerful feature because it allows users to discover data from back-end systems about things like customers and invoices when running standard search queries.

The BDC provides convenient features to map data from a BDC entity to properties in a user profile and to synchronize this data at periodic intervals.

For example, if your company has an SAP system that contains employee data you like to include in user profiles, such as phone numbers or social security numbers, you can configure this type of data importing without writing any custom code.

This makes it possible to write custom Web Parts as well as other server-side components and services that run their own BDC queries. One nice aspect of writing code to query BDC entities is that you don't have to worry about managing connections or whether you are accessing the back-end system through Web services or ADO.

CMS provided a structured way for content authors to add content to a company's public Web site using professionally formatted layout pages. CMS also provided a formalized scheme where a privileged user must approve any page modification before it can be seen by the Web site's visitors. While there is a connector that provides a certain degree of integration between CMS and SPS , these two products are built on very different architectures, and you cannot build a site that fully benefits from both the CMS Web content management features and the SPS portal features.

This will obviously have a significant impact on customers who have already become familiar with CMS development. Instead, the infrastructure has been designed using basic WSS 3. This approach lends itself to building custom solutions that extend the basic Web content management infrastructure by using standard WSS components such as custom event handlers and workflows. However, MOSS extends this functionality by introducing a publishing scheme based on page layouts.

A page layout provides a structured approach to collecting content from content authors and displaying it on a page within a portal site. Some of the page layouts provided by MOSS include welcome pages, articles, and news items. An example of a page layout in editing mode as seen by a content author is shown in Figure 9. As you can see, page layouts are designed to make it fairly straightforward to add and modify content from within the browser. Total Size: 0. Back Next.
