whether we work in an enterprise or a public institution, sharing information is the foundation of modern life. We frequently share information and documents among group members. As part of the Windows Server 2003 standard, Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) makes sharing easier and easier.
In WSS, you can create a website. Each website can contain a document library and a list. These document libraries and list records are stored on the SQL database server. It is also released through IIS. Based on these websites, workers can interact with each other through the office application Program or browser. You can use webparts to customize the interface browsing, so that each user can create an interface suitable for their own work.
wssv3 adds support for document types. A document type provides a schema to define documents and lists. By default, each document in the Document Library has the same schema. Similarly, the records in the list are also. Attaches a document type to the document library or list and requires their schema .. Policy methods can also be attached to the document type, for example, how long the document can be retained. These policies will be applied to documents and lists that attach these policies.
in the solution, you can run WSS on multiple machines to access one independent or multiple SQL Server databases. These databases are used to split websites to distribute traffic. This provides flexibility to allow thousands of users to access the same website. Although each website is logically separated and displayed differently, their document and list structure are very similar. All exist in the database as tables. The difference is that the document can be checked in or checked out, but the record line cannot. But for users, how to demonstrate them is more important than how to implement them.
WSS is also based on other technologies. It can use active directory for user management. The webparts in WSS is an integral part of Asp.net. These are Microsoft technologies, and these components are used to provide support for problem solving. WSS has become a mainstream technology. It is used by many industry organizations or companies to share a wide variety of information. WSSV 3, in particular, provides strong support for workflows, making it even more powerful.
