InfoPath publishing: The following URL is not valid

November 14, 2007   10:05

After publishing a lot of InfoPath forms, suddenly InfoPath 2007 started to present me with an error:
The following URL is not valid: www.url.com

The error made it completely impossible to publish any document to my SharePoint site. After searching some time on Google I found a few solutions which didn’t work for me:

• Only Office Sharepoint 2007
• Sharepoint Tips and Tricks

But the post from Firedancer worked all right.

The solution is to stop the System Event Notification service. It seems to me that it is more a work around as a solution, so after publishing enable the service again.

[update 15-11-2007]
You’ll only have to stop the System Event Notification service for one time. After you published the form resume the service. All new publications will go allright again. I guess that something that went wrong in the SharePoint database gets fixed after the forced publication.

An error occured while trying to connect to the TPM Management Web Service

February 28, 2007   12:09

While adding my BizTalk Server with the Business Activity Services Portal I received the error message “Cannot display BizTalk Hosts. An error occurred while trying to connect to the TPM Management Web Service. Contact your administrator for more information.”

After some investigation I found out that the web service was not responding. Some general info on the web about the message “Service Unavailable” indicated that the security rights where not correctly setup. O boy. Security rights and user management is not my middle name. I always make a mess of that.

After my installation I changed the user password of the user account that runs the TpmWSAppPool in IIS. Fixing the Password under the Identity tab in the TpmWSAppPool solved the first part of the problem. But now I experienced a new error message.

“Could not create Windows user token from the credentials specified in the config file. Error from the operating system ‘Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.” Again some problems with user rights. In the web.config of the web service I changed the line

Of course only change these settings at your development PC so you can quickly continue the development. You will probably be killed by some IT administrator if you configure it like this in production. If someone has instructions to configure this in a correct way, let me know.
