How to create a SharePoint entry

[hugomito 0]

Hi all,

I hope you can help me with this need. In the company I work for, every time we need to deploy a change into a Production environment, we need to add a SharePoint entry in a Calendar area. This is in order to notify Operations team that a change will be introduced on a specific date.

The fields we need to fill out are:

• ows_Project
• ows_ChangeReq
• ows_Description
• ows_StartDate
• ows_EndDate

The thing is that, I have all these values available in an AutoIT application I built called EAI Tool so, what I need is: Whenever a user click a button, a SharePoint record should be created populating SharePoint fields with the values from EAI Tool applicacion.

If you need additional information, let me know.

Regards,

Maybe this helps. The wiki provides an UDF for Sharepoint:

Thanks Trong & Water for your posts.

 

The UDF site was very helpfull to understand how SharePoint works (SharePoint.au3).  Once I understood that SharePoint had it's own web services, I created my own scripts.

 

I am attaching a SharePoint query script. I hope this helps someone else.

I wrote several blog posts on SharePoint and Web Services

using alternative applications like Powershell and JQuery

As you might now we can recently access PowerShell scripts from AU3... :-) Still in beta version and testing stage...

Hope this can help.
