SharePoint 2016 integrated deployment Office Web App Server (i)

In today's version of SharePoint 2016, we've been able to work with our own unique capabilities for comprehensive and convenient daily work, but can we use their own native capabilities to integrate with our Office programs? The answer is yes.

Today we're going to be together. Deploy a Microsoft Office Web App Server that provides a browser-based version of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote, saying a little more popular, We can use the browser to directly edit the Web page version of the Office document in SharePoint. This greatly enhances the efficiency of our office, but also facilitates us to make quick access changes to working files through other mobile terminals.

Let's give you a little demonstration.

Let's take a look at one of my test environments first, if we don't have the integration of Office Web App Server and SharePoint, then what's the effect?

In the past, if we want to view or edit this file, we need to click on the Word document, then the system will pop up a dialog box, the purpose is to download the file, and then use the native installed Office app to open it, and then edit.

, we first upload a Word file and try to open it. The system will have a bullet box.

So the question is, what if the Office program is not installed on this machine? What if it's on a mobile device? What if our downloads are blocked or interfered with?

Because of the limitations above, which can be a huge hindrance to our work, we can see from the previous test that Office Web App Server has helped us do everything we want.

After the integration of SharePoint and Office Web App server, we still upload a Word document to our SharePoint site in the same way.

We use the most convenient drag-and-drop format to upload (seemingly a lot of people do not know this feature, this feature is available from SharePoint 2013)

650) this.width=650; "height=" 497 "title=" image "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;margin:0px;padding-right:0px; "alt=" image " Src= "Http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/8E/57/wKiom1i-HxDDbpqGAAacqDOHATY942.png" border= "0"/>

650) this.width=650; "height=" 497 "title=" image "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;margin:0px;padding-right:0px; "alt=" image " Src= "Http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/8E/57/wKiom1i-HxOQ18TyAAUl-Ku7doE258.png" border= "0"/>

Okay, we've seen this file.

650) this.width=650; "height=" 497 "title=" image "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;margin:0px;padding-right:0px; "alt=" image " Src= "Http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/8E/55/wKioL1i-HxfDGYyUAAPOsUWNDug426.png" border= "0"/>

We try to open it at this point, and this time we see that the browser directly starts using the web version of the Office program to open the Word file

650) this.width=650; "height=" 497 "title=" image "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;margin:0px;padding-right:0px; "alt=" image " Src= "Http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/8E/57/wKiom1i-HxiARKYvAABPa2Bcdkc711.png" border= "0"/>

After a few seconds of witnessing the miracle, we can see the contents of this Word document, and the content can be edited!

I'm just taking word for example, in fact, many of the regular file formats in Office components can be done, such as Excel,ppt,onenote.

This is just one feature of OWA, and one of the features is that you can create a file of office kind directly on SharePoint without using the original upload button.

If you want to create a new file, it used to be.

650) this.width=650; "height=" 497 "title=" image "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;margin:0px;padding-right:0px; "alt=" image " Src= "Http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M00/8E/58/wKiom1i-HxngMuhwAACyD-aCqT8931.png" border= "0"/>

And now this is the case:

650) this.width=650; "height=" 497 "title=" image "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;margin:0px;padding-right:0px; "alt=" image " Src= "Http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M00/8E/55/wKioL1i-Hx3R36WVAAQszZIbrF8892.png" border= "0"/>

These are the changes we can really see in OWA.

It's not as complicated as you think, but office Web Apps Server is just an Office server product that provides browser-based file viewing and editing services for Office files. Office Web Apps Server applies to products and services that support the WOPI (WEB application Open Platform Interface protocol). These products, called hosts, include products from SharePoint 2013, Lync Server 2013, and Exchange Server 2013 and above 2016 series. The Office Web Apps Server farm can provide office services to multiple on-premises hosts, and you can extend the farm from one server to multiple servers as your organization needs to grow. Although Office Web Apps server requires a dedicated server that does not run other server applications, you can install Office Web Apps server on the virtual machine instance.
