With this module, your LaserNet installation can manipulate data in Microsoft SharePoint document libraries, relational database systems like Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access and Oracle plus integrate with any system offering a web services interface.

Microsoft SharePoint is a software platform which provides collaboration, web content management, documents management, enterprise search, web 2.0 features, and many more under a single platform. When working with Microsoft SharePoint, the LaserNet SharePoint and Database module supports the following commands:

Insert	Insert new document with metadata
Update	Update of existing metadata on both documents and folders
Select	Retrieve documents and  metadata
Delete	Delete document and folders
Check Out	Check out a document before editing
Check In	Check in a document after check-out and editing
Discard Check Out	Discard check-out without saving any information
New Folder	Create a new sub folder in the document library structure

Commands can be called from script which enables the user to bundle commands in a logical way. Both Microsoft SharePoint 2007 and 2010 versions are supported.

Web Services are primarily used as a means for businesses to communicate with each other and with clients. Web services allow organizations to communicate data without intimate knowledge of each other's IT systems behind the firewall. They also allow different applications from different sources to communicate with each other without time-consuming custom coding, and because all communication is in XML, Web Services are not tied to any one operating system or programming language.

Web services can be called from all over LaserNet. Settings in LaserNet include:

Web Service	Settings for where the web services reside and method to call along with parameters. The result of the request can be inserted into any JobInfo.
Namespaces	Support for specifying additional namepaces
Authentication	Enables support for supplying credentials. NTLM is supported.
Simple headers	Setting up key value pairs in the header of the request

When working with databases this LaserNet module supports any ODBC/OLE DB compliant database. Through the use of SQL statements, it is possible to query the database extracting columns as JobInfo’s, insert data from LaserNet this being both whole jobs and/or their JobInfo’s.
