CorasWorks v11 Installation Steps For SharePoint 2010

These instructions are intended to be used by individuals who are responsible for installing CorasWorks v11.4. If you have any questions, concerns, or installation issues, please contact CorasWorks Support at Support@CorasCloud.com.

v11 is a single, integrated solution platform that combines all of CorasWorks’ technologies. The platform includes a powerful set of tools that range from easy to use power user level components to the components we use to build robust enterprise class solutions. While CorasWorks v11 Platform is a new generation solution platform, it is fully compatible with our previous CorasWorks Workplace Suite v10 and our CorasWorks Data Integration Toolset. Any application that has been built on these previous products will run on v11.4.

The CorasWorks v11.4 platform has three major categories of capabilities: Basic components, Advanced components, and the CorasWorks Application Service (CAPS). Basic components are created to allow the power user to extend an existing application through point-and-click wizards, create rapid ad-hoc reports and analysis, and even business processes.

Advanced components are meant to be used to build robust solutions that require a higher level of capabilities, more control over the user interface, greater control over performance, integration with other systems, or reporting. The skill set for our advanced components is what we will call the X-Skilled Developer. The pre-requisite knowledge for these components is a working knowledge of XML, XSL, CSS, and JavaScript.

CAPS enables users and application developers to work with their SharePoint sites, lists and data in a well-structured, extensible manner. Its services oriented API ensures consistent results based on the input parameters specified, with flexible output options including XML and JSON as well as dynamically-generated HTML (via XSLT 2.0!).

Together, v11’s Basic components, Advanced components, and CAPS make up a rich platform that can scale from relatively simple modifications or ad-hoc interactive reports, to full enterprise class solutions.

NOTE: Basic WSPs can be deployed to individual web applications without affecting the entire web farm. Advanced and CAPS WSP deployments, on the other hand, must be farm wide and will write to the web.config file for every web application in the farm. If your organization does not allow farm wide deployments, simply deselect any items in the Advanced folder of the installation package.
