I'm looking for an ability to register data from an external system into Microsoft Dynamics CRM
For example, in Salesforce CRM there is 'Platform Event' which is used to get an event from an external source and trigger a UI change in accordance.
What's the equivalent in Microsoft Dynamics CRM?
To CRUD data in CRM:

To perform actions (the same stuff clicking buttons does) via API:

Power Automate / Logic Apps has connectors for these out of the box if you prefer not to write code, they are billed by execution though.

I want to get a list all of the datasets to enter them into an array.
I could then feed each item in the array into a macro to prevent me from having to do a repetitive task.
I don't recall EG having that level of introspection available to submitted code. However, an add-in tool can be programmed (as a Windows .dll) and the add-in will be able to examine the client (EG), project and other meta information not available to code submitted by the client (i.e. your SAS code that will run either locally or remotely depending on server settings of the active profile)
A link to reference documentation (SAS.EG.ADDins) and other add-in material can be found at http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/guide/release30/addins/
The SAS.EG.Addins help states
Services Supplied by the Host Application (to the Add-in)
The following interfaces
surface information and services that are supplied by the host
application (for example, SAS Enterprise Guide and the SAS Add-in for
Microsoft Office). These are the interfaces that are supported by all
host applications:
ISASTaskConsumer Provides information about what the application
supports and access to other supported interfaces. Also provides
access to options specific to the particular instance of the add-in.
ISASTaskData, ISASTaskDataAccessor, ISASTaskDataColumn Provides access
to data services.
These are the interfaces that might be supported by a given host
application. If your add-in code takes advantage of any of these
interfaces/services, you should include checks to ensure that an
interface is supported before you attempt to use it.
ISASTaskSubmit Allows your add-in to submit a SAS program for
processing while the user interact with your user interface.
ISASTaskUtilities Supplies utility methods for use by your add-in.
Is there a way to schedule emails that attach a SSIS web report or Smartlist report or excel report and send it automatically at a specified time within Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013?
Thanks
Not possible to send report automatically at a specified time within Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013. You can schedule reports in SSRS.
I have taken a look at alerts management for TFS 2012 after installing power tools, and I can see about four types of alert templates:
Work Item
Code Review
Check In
Build
I was wondering if there was a possibility of having a supported way to register alerts under “Publish” event-type, manageable directly via the Alerts explorer.
If not, I thought of some workarounds:
If this cannot be done and managed via the Alerts explorer, can I customize an alert to be triggered on Publish event via a Web Service? If so, does the TFS API support such customization?
I can also instead go with a continuous delivery approach and set an automated publish upon successful build of a solution, with an email alert on Build-Event Success (which would also mean that a solution has been published).
Which approach would be a supported way for setting "on publish"-event alerts for web solutions via TFS?
My suggestion would be not to use the Publish in Visual Studio but instead to use a Build to publish your solution (either triggered on check-in, or manually triggered). Then you can easily setup an alert on that build. Using a build instead of VS-Publish is also considered a better practice because it gives you more power and flexibility for the deployment process.
Does anybody of you know if there are any Webservices (or other interfaces) to monitor an, for example ASP.NET application, which is hosted within Windows Azure from a NON .NET environment?
If you're talking about monitoring things like performance counters and diagnostics (logging), those may be accessed from any language, as that information is ultimately stored in table Storage (you need to just set it up in your Windows Azure app as it starts up). Storage is accessed via a REST interface. Additionally, there are SDKs for PHP and Java to facilitate this. There are a few additional open source project I've seen as well - for instance, Ruby.
For a desktop monitoring tool, check out Cerebrata's Azure Diagnostics Manager.
Note: the Management API is also REST-based, so you can control deployments from other languages as well (e.g. scaling instances up/down, stopping/deleting a deployment, creating a new service, etc.). You'll see that the PHP SDK already wraps most of the Management API. See here for detailed API documentation.
Dirk, it depends on what you're trying to monitor. There are many partner products like AzureWatch from Paraleap that can monitor applications in Windows Azure, or you could always write an application yourself to monitor your Windows Azure application using the Windows Azure APIs (try AzureMonitor on CodePlex] as a start). You can find out more information about Monitoring on MSDN and the Windows Azure Managed Library Reference.
I have built a MS Access 2007 application that can create reports files in various formats (PDF, XLS, CSV, XML).
I would like to allow the creation of these reports to be accessible from a web page where users would just click on a link and get a download of the report produced by my Access application.
I would like to keep it simple and I'm not interested at this stage in rewriting the data processing in .Net. I'd just like to find a way to automate the creation of the user report to return a file that can be downloaded.
In essence, my Access application would act as a web service of some kind.
The web server is IIS on Windows 2003.
Any pointers or ideas would be welcome. I'm not well versed in IIS administration or ASP pages.
The first quick and dirty method i could think of would be to call Access from a shell and pass it a few parameters to open as read only and run a macro.
That macro would have to pull it's report parameters from somewhere (possibly env variables), run the report and save it as Excel, PDF or whatever to a unique name. To du this you'll need to pass the report name, a unique request id, and a param array to handle multiple (or none) parameters.
Last but not least your Access macro / VBA Sub will need to shut access down.
This isnt a good solution as starting one copy of Access per request isn't really advisable though.
Another option is to have start Access on the server with a VBA sub that starts on opening. This sub could poll a directory for requests that are written by your web server. Then on receiving a request run a report and write it to somewhere. Again you'd have to base this around a unique request ID.
I'm not really sure which "solution" would be better.... Access as a command line report generator or Access as a batch reporting service. Both would be nasty, but would get you over the hump until you can migrate to a reporting service.
This is kind of a round about way to achieve what you're asking. You can utilize the free version of sql server express 2005 or 2008 advance edition which includes the reporting services component. Using the report generation tools you can convert your access 2007 reports to sql server reports and have those reports feed off of the access database. You can also go to the extent of migrating the database to sql server as well if you wanted to go that route. Reporting services will generate pdf, xls, csv and xml formats as output for your reports and you can generate those reports just by passing the parameters in the url to the server which will return your report in the format requested.

If you do not wish to rewrite in .Net, how about Classic ASP and VBScript? VBScript has a lot in common with VBA, so it should not take long create something usable, and there is a great deal of help available for ASP and VBScript on the internet. For example, a simple search returned this method of creating a PDF with Adobe from ASP:
