Microsoft purview which scan type should I use for scanning a remote web directory? - azure-purview

I'm looking for the best way to scan a web directory using Microsoft Purview. While configuring Microsoft Purview I was able to scan a local directory using an Azure data lake, but I couldn't find a way to make it work with a remote directory.
I found all of the type of scan : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/purview/microsoft-purview-connector-overview.
There is a lot of different types of scan and I don't know which one to choose? or if what I want to do is even possible.

Remote directory cannot be scanned using Microsoft Purview. It is not supported as a data source yet. Would recommend filing a feature request in IDEAS forum here:

Local Database File Associated with .dwg File

I am planning on building an AutoCAD extension application that will require custom data be stored outside of the standard .dwg file for AutoCAD drawings. I would like there to be a local file that this custom data is stored in so that the data can be read into AutoCAD or saved from AutoCAD while offline. I have been imagining that each .dwg file would have it’s own separate database file associated with it, but I am also open to the idea of having a single data file locally stored in order to allow for offline reading/writing of my custom data. Does MongoDB support this type of local data storage? There will be a cloud-based database where the data can be read from/written to, but I want there to be a local storage system to allow for offline read/write and also improved speed. I am just a bit confused about this because most resources online seem to address cloud storage and I am having a hard time understanding how to use MongoDB to implement a reliable local storage system.
It's possible to install the MongoDB Community Server edition locally on your machine.
You can download the installer here.
Installation instructions can be found here.
This post addresses where the data is stored. Basically it's one storage location per machine (where you can put all your databases).
You may need a GUI interface to browse all your databases. The community edition installer will prompt you to install Compass. I'm using a different software called Robo 3T for that.
Something like nedb-promises may be of interest for creating a database local to the application.
(I've also been looking into how to use MongoDB locally, so the above is a summary of what I've found so far.)

Is there a way to get a list of all Project from MS Project Online (PWA)

MS Project is a bucket of bolts... but sometimes we have to work with what we've got.
I have a MS Project online, Project Web Access (PWA) with no reporting capabilities like PowerBI or anything.
Is there any way to use VBA to get a list of all the projects in the online environment? PowerShell would be great, but I have no admin rights to use them.

OData does the trick.
PowerBI and excel both have PowerQuery functionality with a OData connector, and it solves the problem.
You just use Project's native API:

Transfer TFS Work Item Queries from locally installed TFS to visualstudio.com

Is there any way to move custom queries I've setup in my company's locally hosted TFS server to my instance of TFS on visualstudio.com? I've Googled/Binged/Yahoo'd and even DuckDuckGo'ed around and asked other devs using the service but none of them had any saved queries they wanted to move, so no one had done any researching yet. After a few fruitless searches I've turned to the experts here on SO. Anyone find anything about this they can share?
The usual suspects when it comes to TFS Migration (namely the TFS Integration Platform) does not support moving project or personal queries. Depending on the quantity of queries, a manual recreation is obviously possible. However, if there are a significant number, then another option is to use the TFS SDK (Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client and Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client). Within there, you can access the "My Queries" and project queries, including their folder hierarchy.
One example of this is available on Mike Poulson's blog where he shows going from a TFS 2010 -> TFS 2012 server. While this example is targeting on-prem, the same holds true for a move from TFS on-prem to Visual Studio Online.
Some of the queries may need "translation" in the migration process (naming differences, etc), using the SDK can also help in that process. So at the end of the day, it's a tradeoff between a manual recreation vs effort to code/debug/test a solution with the SDK.

Running PowerShell scripts programmatically in Azure Web Sites

I want to run PS scripts in C# exactly along the lines of Sample
This works on a Cloud Service (Web Role), on a standard server (with execution policy disabled), but not in a Azure Web Site.
Anyone know why this is so?
I don't know of any official documentation on the issue but there are multiple answers on the related forums where Microsoft employees talk about the limitations of not being able/allowed to launch external processes in Windows Azure Web Sites. See
PHP - Warning: exec(): Unable to fork
PDF Generator failing on Azure Website but not development machine
Recommended HTML to PDF Generator that works on Azure Website Reserved mode with Full Trust
You are probably trying to do that with your powershell script.
You could verify if that is in fact your issue by catching and looking at the exception(s) which should relate to security policies/permissions.

Skydrive as a version-control-system

Is it possible to use Microsoft Skydrive as a source control system where I can check-in and check-out?
SkyDrive doesn't support check-in check-out.
You could use SkyDrive Pro against a SharePoint site (you can sign up for a free O365 development license) which would give you most of what you need but there wont be any Visual Studio integration.
But if all you want is the ability to store your source safely off-box then SkyDrive is fine but you'll need to put the compiled binaries somewhere else like this
I found a way to use it as a kind of source-control. But not direct skydrive, but with svn it's possible.
Just create the repository into the local mapped directory (which is automatically syncronized with the webspace). On a check-in the sources will be automatically uploaded to skydrive
There's also the option of using Team Foundation Service: http://tfs.visualstudio.com/en-us/tfs-welcome.aspx
It's a cloud-based TFS. I used the demo and it was very nice.
