Hi Max,
ReplyDeleteHave you tried SystemProxy proxy class?
Can you explain a bit?
Thanks,
Kathy
I didn't try it yet.
ReplyDeleteBut I think you can create SystemProxy object from 3rd party application and use it in a usual way to access Pivotal data.
Here is an example how to use it:
// Programs should create a single SystemProxy instance for each user and then use that
// instance. Do not create multiple SystemProxy instances for the same user,
// as doing so is a waste of resources and can reduce performance.
SystemProxy sp = new SystemProxy(new Uri("http://localhost"), systemName, UserInfo.CreateUser("Client"));
// Get the Company data template.
DataTemplate companyTemplate = sp.UserProfile.GetMetaItem("Company");
// Load the company with ID 0x0000000000000229 using the Company data template.
ParameterList loadParameters = new ParameterList();
using (DataSet dataSet = sp.DataService.LoadData(companyTemplate,
Id.Create("0x0000000000000229"), loadParameters))
{
// Change the company name.
dataSet.Tables["Company"].Rows[0]["Company_Name"] = "Alton Towers";
// Save changes.
ParameterList saveParameters = new ParameterList();
sp.DataService.SaveData(companyTemplate, dataSet, saveParameters);
}

Max
