Sharepoint Web Services I cannot see anywhere in the documentation on how t

I do a lot of SharePoint integration but mostly reading items from lists. What version of SP are you running. In 2010 and even better in 2013 there are REST APIs. I am going to do some POCs on the REST interfaces in the comming weeks. But when reading the documentation this should be relatively easy.

So to answer your question: Not OOTB. Use the REST API or the Lists Webservice msdn.microsoft.com/.../lists(v=office.12).aspx

Hi, we are on SP 2010 and are using the List Webservice which doesn't provide, when called from Appian, the ability to add a list item.

Only to be shure. We are talking about the Webservices provided by Microsoft and not the ones from Appian out of the SharePoint Addon.

Do you know this one
msdn.microsoft.com/.../lists.lists.updatelistitems.aspx

Hi I'm using the Call Web Service Smart Service and then Appian.SharePoint.Lists.asmx?wsdl to connect to Sharepoint and get a list of web services.

OK. Using the HTTP request plugin you can call the URL yourSP/.../Lists.asmx. As body of the request you provide something like this
"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=""www.w3.org/.../soap-envelope"" xmlns:soap1=""schemas.microsoft.com/.../"">
          <soap:Header/>
          <soap:Body>
                    <soap1:GetListItems>
                              <soap1:listName>" & pv!list_id & "</soap1:listName>
                              <soap1:viewName>" & pv!view_id & "</soap1:viewName>
                    </soap1:GetListItems>
          </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>"

SP then returns some XML which you can parse with xpathsnippet. Using other XML functions than "GetListItems" you can call any function provided by MS.

Thanks, I've given it a quick try and it works. I would have preferred an OOTB solution that works with the Call Web Service Smart Service that way we can progress a 'No Coding' solution. Anyone at Appian listening?

AFAIK there is coming something next year. I created some small utility models that encapsulate the WS calls. This way it is still not a nice solutions but it works.

Once again, Thanks. Probably have to wait for Appianworld. Would you be prepared to share your utility models (I won't bother you for ongoing support) to give us a jump start?

You are welcome :-) Sharing the model is no problem. When you provide me an email address I'm going to send it to you.
