Overview

• What is SharePoint?• SharePoint is a central enterprise information portal, that can be configured to run Intranet, Extranet

and Internet sites. In brief, SharePoint is all about sharing data i.e. centralize data.

• What SharePoint Product and Technologies Composed of?• Windows SharePoint Service 3.0 (WSS)• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS)

• What is difference between WSS and MOSS?• Microsoft has divided SharePoint product in two parts i.e. WSS and MOSS.• WSS is a platform on which MOSS is built. The WSS Part is licensed through windows 2003 server and

it does not cost.• MOSS is a separate product by itself which need licensing and it has good amount of cost.• WSS is good for small team and small projects while MOSS has extra functionalities i.e. value added

service.• So the choice between WSS and MOSS will depend on budget of the project and the extra

functionality i.e. value added service provide by MOS


What is SharePoint?

• Collaboration : Allow teams to work together effectively, collaborate on and publish documents, maintain task lists, implement workflows, and share information through the use of wikis and blogs.

• Features provided by SharePoint • Content Management: Create and manage documents, records, and Web content. • Portal: Create a personal My Site portal to share information with others and personalize

the user experience and content of an enterprise Web site based on the user’s profile • Search: Quickly and easily find people, expertise, and content in business applications. • Business Intelligence: Allow information workers to easily access critical business

information, analyze and view data, and publish reports to make more informed decisions.

• Business Processes: Create workflows and electronic forms to automate and streamline your business processes.

and SQL Server.

SharePoint uses ASP.NET runtime to parse any request but it add some more handlers and modules which pass request to SharePoint runtime and it passes through to ASP.NET runtime

SharePoint 2013

• What is SharePoint 2013:: A new version of Microsoft famous Collaboration portal called SharePoint. The version adds few

new exciting features such as Social Feed, SharePoint Apps and cross-site publishing.

New features in SharePoint 2013 are as follows::

Development Changes – • In SharePoint 2013 Microsoft Introduced a new Cloud App Model for designing Apps for SharePoint. Apps for SharePoint

are self-contained pieces of functionality that extend the capabilities of a SharePoint website. You can use HTML, CSS, JavaScript and protocols like the Open Data protocol (OData), and OAuth to communicate with SharePoint using Apps.

• Tools – SharePoint 2013 has Introduced new Tools for App development. Visual Studio 2012 now lets you develop apps for SharePoint and apps for Office. In addition a new web-based tools called “Napa” Office 365 Development Tools were introduced for developing apps.

• No more Sandbox solutions. SharePoint 2013 sandboxed solutions are deprecated. So all we got is the New App model and the Old SharePoint Farm solutions.


SharePoint 2013

Social and Collaboration features – Microsoft in SharePoint 2013 Introduced new Social capabilities for better collaboration in the company. New Features added are • Interactive feed• Community Site• Follow people• Follow Sites

Search - SharePoint 2013 includes several enhancements, custom content processing with the Content Enrichment web service, and a new framework for presenting search result types. Some of the features added are – • Consolidated Search Results• Rich Results Framework• keyword query language (KQL) enhancements

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) -SharePoint 2013 added some of the best capabilities of an ECM software. The newly added stuff is • Design Manager• Managed Navigation• Cross-site Publishing• EDiscovery

Features


Web Server

• When user want to host the application on a centralized location and wanted to access from many locations, Web server is responsible for handle all the requests that are coming from clients, process them and provide the responses.

How IIS works?1. Whenever a request comes from Client to Server, it will hit HTTP.SYS First.2. HTTP.SYS is Responsible for pass the request to particular Application pool. But How HTTP.SYS comes to know where to send the request? Whenever user creates a new Application Pool, the ID of the Application Pool is being generated and it’s

registered with the HTTP.SYS. So whenever HTTP.SYS Received the request from any web application, it checks for the Application Pool and based on the application pool it send the request.

3. Web Admin Services (WAS) takes the request from HTTP.SYS and pass it to the respective application pool.

4. When Application pool receive the request, it simply pass the request to worker process.5. The worker process looks up the URL of the request in order to load the correct ISAPI extension. ISAPI extensions are the IIS way to handle requests for different resources. Once ASP.NET is installed,

it installs its own ISAPI extension (aspnet_isapi.dll) and adds the mapping into IIS. 6. When Worker process loads the aspnet_isapi.dll, it start an HTTPRuntime, which is the entry point of an

application. HTTPRuntime is a class which calls the ProcessRequest method to start Processing.7. When this methods called, a new instance of HTTPContext is been created. Which is accessible using

HTTPContext.Current Properties. This object still remains alive during life time of object request. Using HttpContext.Current we can access some other objects like Request, Response, Session etc.

8. After that HttpRuntime load an HttpApplication object with the help of HttpApplicationFactory class.. Each and every request should pass through the corresponding HTTPModule to reach to HTTPHandler, this list of module are configured by the HTTPApplication.



9. HTTPHandler contains a set of HttpModules that intercept the request on its way to the HttpHandler. So it is called HTTPPipeline.

HTTPModules are classes that have access to the incoming request. We can also create our own HTTPModule if we need to handle anything during upcoming request and response.

10.HTTP Handlers are the endpoints in the HTTP pipeline. All request that are passing through the HTTPModule should reached to HTTPHandler.

11.Then HTTP Handler generates the output for the requested resource. So, when we requesting for any aspx web pages, it returns the corresponding HTML output.


Web Farm• when there is huge amount of incoming traffic for any web sites, one

standalone server is not sufficient to process the request. User may need to use multiple servers to host the application and divide the traffic among them. This is called “Web Farm”.

• So when user is hosting his/her single web site on multiple web servers over load balancer is called “Web Farm”.


Web Farm

• In general web farm architecture, a single application is hosted on multiple IIS Server and those are connected with the VIP (Virtual IP) with Load Balancer. Load Balancer IPs are exposed to external world to access. So whenever some request will come to server from clients, it will first hit the Load Balancer, then based on the traffic on each server, LB distributes the request to the corresponding web server. These web servers may share the same DB server or may be they can use a replicated server in the back end.


Web Farm and Sandbox

Web farm• Hosted in IIS worker process.

• It will affect the whole farm.

• In web farm, solutions are installed and deployed.

• In this, user can create application page.

Sandbox• Hosted in the SharePoint user code

solution worker process.• It will only affect the site collection

of the solution. • In sandbox, solutions are uploaded

and activated.• In this application pages can’t be

created because user don’t have permission to physical folder.

• The sandbox is designed to bring greater stability to a SharePoint farm by restricting actions that could cause problems with performance, security, or other areas.

• This stability is achieved by limiting the functionality accessible to custom code solutions through the use of code access security (CAS) policies and by restricting access to portions of the object model.
