Centralized Configuration - Sharing one AgilePoint Configuration List among Site Collections

In SharePoint Integration v2, AgilePoint Configuration List is needed at the top level site to store the info for AgilePoint Server (URL, username, password, etc).
With this, you need to configure this list for each site collection you have.

If you have hundreds of site collections, configuring and maintaining hundreds AgilePoint Configuration List for site collections are just not efficient.

Here is a way you can configure a centralized AgilePoint Configuration List that can be shared by all the site collections in a SharePoint farm.

Insert below entries in the web.config file of your SharePoint web application.

<appSettings> 
<add key="APSettingsListName" value="AgilePoint Configuration" /> 
<add key="APSettingsSiteUrl" value="http://demo3:8081" /> 
<add key="APSettingsWebName" value="" /> 
</appSettings> 

Where:

APSettingsListName = The name of the AgilePoint Settings List.

APSettingsSiteURL = The SharePoint SiteURL that contains the common AgilePoint Configuration List. The rest of the site collections will refer to this location and list as long as the individual AgilePoint Configuration list (which is auto-created in the site collection when this feature is activated) is deactivated or removed.

APSettingsWebName = If this field is left blank, this means that the AgilePoint Configuration List is located at the top-level site. A value would indicate the Sub site name.

After this, you might just goes ahead to activate the "AgilePoint Process Launcher" feature, so that process can be triggered for items inserted into the SharePoint. But, you will run into below error:

To fix this, you may remove the ActivationDependencies node (see below) from the feature file of "AgilePoint Process Launcher". The feature file is located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\AgilePointWFIntegration\feature.xml.

    <ActivationDependencies>


        <ActivationDependency FeatureId="A379136F-8742-4f0c-9D5A-9310A4D2B80C"/>


       </ActivationDependencies>

This shall let you to activate the "AgilePoint Process Launcher" feature without needing to activate the 'AgilePoint Configuration List' feature on each site collections.
