Microsoft CRM WebApplication USD - customization

Hi I am now working in Microsoft CRM Customization. I am following the tutorial which describes about web application adapter in USD.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn864880.aspx
I am getting the QSWebApplication as in the tutorial. Now I need to place the QsWebApplication in left side menu of the Dashboard. Is it possible to do? If so How to do?
Sample Expected Output

Venkat,
You have to change the display group for the hosted control dedicated for this external application. Change that to LeftPanelFill. Right now it should MainPanel. Since it is already loading, you dont have to make any changes to the action call.
Hope this clarifies your query. Let us know if you face any issue on the same.
NB: Please ignore my previous answer as that was a misunderstanding from my part.

how to add new business component in Siebel web tool

I have a Seibel web tools deployment in my network and am trying to add new business components and business services. However, when I click on the business components tab on the left, I do see a plus (addition) sign on the right - above a list of existing business components. But nothing happens when I click on this plus sign.
I even looked up google and Siebel bookshelf,but could not find anything relevant. I came across some useful videos, but they just talk about how to update existing business components.
Please let me know if you have any useful articles on how to do this.
thx - Om
That is the correct way to do it, but there a few things you need to check:
Is the "+" button greyed out?
Are you making the changes in the context of a DEV workspace?
Does the browser console display any errors?
Can you instead make a copy of an existing one and change it? In my experience it is rare to create a BC from scratch.

View currently published page in Sharepoint

I am making edits to a client's Sharepoint site.
I checked out the page, made all the changes required, checked it back in, and am waiting on their go-ahead to publish.
I want to double-check that certain elements are the same as they were before I started editing. Generally I would go to site contents > pages > version history of the page I am working on, and look at the currently published version (because, as an editor, it seems to only show me the unpublished draft when I am on the page URL).
Tried to do that today and am getting an error: Sorry, something went wrong
Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131904.... Insightful and intuitive Microsoft error - well done guys (NOT).
Is there any other way that is more straightforward to just view what is currently published?
The quickest way to do this is to either log on as a test account that has only got read only permissions, or to ask one of your colleagues that doesn't have edit permissions to browse to the page and you can see what they see.
Version history, while is helpful when you need to roll back, won't show changes to web parts or other hidden elements when viewing it, so it's not always that helpful when using it for a case like yours.
As a side note, to log in as another user in SP2013, append this to your URL: http://yoursite/_layouts/15/closeconnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true

Publishing Photo to Glass Timeline using GDK and NOT Mirror

I am working on a Google Glass application that will apply a filter and then take pictures. We used to use Card and TimelineManager to do this, but both were discontinued.
I'm currently using CardBuilder in replacement of Card, and I am able to take the photo and save it in Glass memory, but I would also like the photos to show up with the rest of the pictures taken outside my application (directly from Glass).
Most suggestions I found to publishing to Timeline require using Mirror. However, I don't want my application to require Internet access. Is there a way to publish to the Timeline without using Mirror?
I'm new to Glass and Android coding so any help will be appreciated :)
I've never tried TimelineManager before but I think Live cards is what you're looking for. It's used for publishing information to the timeline. No access to the internet required.
The doc has the sample code and some sample apps also use it.
Note: Static card is not supported by GDK as of now.
Hope this helps.
So there are two things. If you want the picture to appear to the left of the time (which would mean foreverish) then you want to use Live Card as suggested above. However, if you want to add it to the timeline (which is to the right of the time) then you can't add that via the GDK anymore.
Google felt that the Mirror API was built specifically for this and the Timeline Manager defeated the purpose of it so it was removed.

How to change code of a live page without bringing down the service?

After more than sufficient googling and hitting dead-ends, i want to ask community if some one can point me to correct direction
My Question is :
I have some new features which i need to implement on one of my existing site.Due to some constraint i can not stop the web-service, so how can i implement the changes that i have done on my page from localhost to live-server?
Site is coded in PHP (if this info helps!! :) )
Its similar to what Google, LinkedIn and facebook does on their social network - implementing new chats windows or making a jquery box pop-up for a tour on page refresh (experienced this many times)
Any help / pointers is appreciated.
thanks!
PS : feel free to re-tag the question! :)

creating web service for querying TFS

I have been tasked with creating a web service(usingVS2010) to query TFS (2010) by the workitem number. The user would access the web service, then type in the workitem number and project name and hit a go button. This would call the web service, retrieve the title, and description and display it for the user on a seperate application. So starting this process I thought I would create a simple console application that does the same thing. I was able to connect to the server and I am able to see the collection of project that exists. What I am looking for is some help in querying the Server so that I can type in a number and get a response in my console. Does anyone have any examples, or direction or websites? While I wait for an answer I will be searching the web. Thanks in advance.
You'll want to use the TFS SDK to query work items programmatically.
Ewald Hoffman has posted an excellent example of how to get a work item by ID:
