Requirements and Limitations

Integrate Software AG Products Using Digital Event Services : MashZone NextGen Help : Appendix : Administration : MashZone NextGen Add-On for SharePoint (P4S) : MashZone NextGen Add-On for SharePoint User Guide : Publish Mashup Results as External SharePoint Lists : Requirements and Limitations

You use MashZone NextGen Wires to create a mashup that SharePoint can access as an external content type. You use SharePoint Designer to define the external content type for mashups that are ECT-enabled and the external content lists based on these external content types.

Both MashZone NextGen and SharePoint must be configured properly to support communication between SharePoint and MashZone NextGen and between SharePoint Designer and MashZone NextGen. MashZone NextGen and SharePoint administrators must:

Enable one-way SSL for clients connecting to the MashZone NextGen MashZone NextGen Server. This is required to allow SharePoint Designer to use a secure connection when you create external content types and external content lists based on MashZone NextGen mashups.

MashZone NextGen administrators should see One-Way SSL to MashZone NextGen for instructions.

Use the Secure Service Store in SharePoint to store credentials for MashZone NextGen used in connections from SharePoint and SharePoint Designer to these mashups.

SharePoint administrators should see Configure Authentication for P4S 2010 for instructions on setting up SSO + Token Authentication.

In addition to basic connection requirements, there are specific requirements and limitations on the mashup results that you can use in external content lists and on the maintenance that is possible to these mashups. See Supported SharePoint Operations, Data Requirements for the Results of ECT-Enabled Mashups and Updates to the Mashup’s Results for more information.
