Navigate to the site settings. In site actions click on manage site features and look for the feature named Sapiens.at.SharePoint.SQL Business Data Connector and activate it.
Navigate to a SharePoint list or document library. In list settings/advanced settings enable the management of content types and click OK.
Now you can see the content types, click on the first one to configure the SQL Business Data Connector settings.
Below the import setting dialog the settings page shows sections and check boxes for each configurable event.
ItemAdding and added events occur when an item or document is added to SharePoint.
ItemUpdating and updated events occur when an item or document is updated.
The ItemDeleting event occurs before an item being deleted is registered on SharePoint. It is still possible to access the data and perform a cleanup.
Check the enable ItemAdding checkbox and enter the SQL Server connection string.
Click on Test Connection and proceed to the SQL statement details.
In type of operation you may select SELECT and UPDATE. SELECT will return values in parameters, UPDATE will not.
Choose SELECT as the type of operation, and enter 1 as the number of params in. Then enter 1 as the number of values out.
Enter a valid T-SQL statement, the example below should work with @in1 as varchar and @out1 as varchar.
declare @table as table ( inParam varchar ) insert into @table (inParam) values(@in1) select inParam from @table
Configuring actions for other events should be exactly the same.
Check the check box Use this receiver to update items in the timer job and select the schedule from the drop down below.
To use a scope select a view from the drop down below.
Check the enable event firing when item is updated check box. This enables SharePoint designer workflows to be launched when an item is updated.
This check box should be checked when you want to update all items of this content type initially and you don’t want to use a timer job. When you use this configuration all items in the list will be updated and all actions configured for updating and updated will be executed.
To export settings you must pick a file location and a file name. To import settings pick the file and click on Import. Finally enable the actions.
