Additional Utilities Included

In addition to the SharePoint web parts, server controls, and MCMS placeholders provided by Connector for SharePoint Technologies to allow content integration, Microsoft included additional SharePoint web parts and command-line utilities to assist you with configuring SharePoint and managing your MCMS website.

The following two administrative SharePoint web parts are included in the Connector to assist MCMS site Authors, Editors, and Moderators with maintaining their MCMS site:

• Pages in Production Web Part: . This web part displays all postings the current user is currently working on, but has not yet published, which is comparable to the “Production Manager” dialog in MCMS.

• Pages Waiting for Approval Web Part: . This web part displays all postings that are pending approval on the MCMS site, which is comparable to the “Approval Assistant” dialog in MCMS.

  The Pages in Production Web Part, Pages Waiting for Approval Web Part, and Page Listing Web Part are included in the CmsWebParts.CAB web part deployment file, which can be found in the following directory: C:\Program Files\MCMS Connector for SharePoint Technologies\WSS\Bin

Previously we mentioned the two command-line utilities:

• SearchPropertiesSetup.exe: . This utility is used to add the advanced HTML META tags to the SPS Search Service.

• SetupSearch.exe: . This is used to automatically create SharePoint content sources and search groups for all top-level channels within an MCMS site.

A third command-line utility, excludeCMS.exe, will add SharePoint managed path exclusion rules for all MCMS URL paths in a virtual server. It is necessary for all MCMS paths to be excluded from SharePoint’s ISAPI filters when SharePoint and MCMS are configured on the same virtual server within Internet Information Services (IIS) or MCMS will not operate correctly.

All command-line utilities included in the MCMS Connector can be found in the following directory: C:\Program Files\MCMS Connector for SharePoint Technologies\WSS\Bin.
