SharePoint, Performance Point, and Ajax

October 21, 2008

If you want to get Performance Point and Ajax to work on your SharePoint installation, fooshen points the way. You will need to click here and then save the instructions and screen shots. Then just follow the “simple” directions to get a Microsoft product to work with another Microsoft product and also get Ajax scripts to work with SharePoint. When I read this useful post, I thought “This explains what’s wrong with SharePoint”. The product has too many loose ends. A Certified Professional armed with fooshen’s how to can use Microsoft tools to pinpoint search performance issues. But why should a Certified Professional need a detailed how to? Why not provide a control on the admin console that let’s me activate Performance Point. Why do I or one of my engineers have to cut and paste multi line config statements into another script? The Performance Point functions are useful to SharePoint. Furthermore both are Microsoft products. I can understand fiddling with scripts to get a third party vendor’s product to work with SharePoint. But, heck, these are Microsoft’s own products, yet I have to do work using fooshen’s tips. When companies seek to reduce expenses, a savvy CFO may pull the plug on people who procure products that add unnecessary tasks, thus preventing an engineer from doing more meaningful work than performing script monkey antics. If this post was useful, you will find The Magpie Paradigm an absolute must.
Click here. A happy quack to the magpie.
