Visio 2013 Preview - creating workflows for SharePoint2013

I really enjoy creating workflows and help businesses to automate their processes. That's why I was excited with the ability of Visio 2010 Premium to create workflow diagrams for SharePoint and then import them to SharePoint Designer for further modification. 
You can read about my experience with Visio 2010 here http://wyldesharepoint.blogspot.com/2010/01/mighty-sharepoint-2010-workflows-part-1.html

Here's what we have got in Visio 2013.

In #Visio2013 Select a Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Workflow diagram type from Software section:


Here you go:


I have quickly come up with some simple workflow design:


Checked the diagram:



 Tried to export to SharePoint:


 and got an error "This doesn't seem to be a SharePoint 2010 Workflow diagram...":

Well, I expected to create and export #SharePoint2013 workflow diagram. 
Not now.

Setting up External Content Type for SQL Server database using SQL Server authentication - SharePoint 2010 Foundation

This post is a follow up on the issues that I have got setting up External Content Type (ECT) on SharePoint 2010 Foundation that was going to connect to remote SQL Server database for information. I cannot use my SharePoint user accounts to access SQL Server. According to the information I have discovered ECT and Business Connectivity Services are available in the SharePoint 2010 Foundation, but there are some issues if you want to use authentication methods in your external connections that are different from Windows Identity or Current User Identity.

InfoPath 2013 Preview - URL not valid error when publishing

In InfoPath 2010 there is a problem when you try to publish a Form to a SharePoint site that doesn't have root site collection. You will get an error message "The following url is not valid". It's described here:   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981854 The solution is to create root site collection for the Web application. Same problem is with InfoPath 2013: In my situation I didn't create the root site collection initially, but used "/sites" managed path instead for all site collections. To solve the problem with InfoPath I had to create it. Used a new site template "Project Site". Will get a chance to research that too. :)
