New Service ApplicationsChapter 1 ■ SharePoint 2013 Overview and New FeaturesWith the Service Application Architecture recap out of the way, I shall now discuss some of the service applicationsthat Microsoft added to SharePoint 2013. SharePoint 2013 includes three new service applications, as follows:• Machine Translation Service• Work Management• App Management■ ■Note The Machine Translation Service is the only one of the three service applications that you may distributecross-farm. The Work Management and App Management services work only within their respective farms.The Machine Translation Service provides language translation services for sites, pages, and managed term setsin SharePoint, by using Microsoft Bing to perform the translation work. This managed service relies on a handful oftimer jobs to process requested translation tasks by sending content to Bing and replacing foreign-language contentwith translated data.The Work Management Service aggregates user tasks to provide a centralized task list. This service aggregatestasks from Exchange, Project Server, and SharePoint 2013 and allows users to manage centrally all their tasks via theirMy Site.■ ■Note For more information on configuring synchronization with the Work Management Service, please consult thefollowing article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj554516.aspx.The App Management Service is responsible for hosting new SharePoint apps, either custom-developed orinstalled from the App Marketplace. Everything is an app in SharePoint 2013; Microsoft refers to lists and librariesas apps—the task list is a particular type of list app that handles storage of tasks. When adding a new list or library inSharePoint 2013 you should see the Add an App menu item, under the Settings menu (gear icon); see Figure 1-4.www.it-ebooks.info15
