Is it possible to use SSOM for Sharepoint Online?

Question

I know, to use SSOM it must be deployed on same farm. Is there any way to use SSOM to work with Sharepoint Online? Thank you.

Answer 1

The clear answer is

No, You cannot use Server Object Model in SharePoint Online.

So what may be an alternative?

• If you have some sort of SSOM codes then you can convert that codes to CSOM(Managed CSOM, JavaScript or REST API) whatever is more convenient to you.
• Also, SharePoint Online does not entertain any deployment of managed CSOM, you can code your requirement to SharePoint Provider Hosted Add-in.
• Also you can code your requirement as WCF services and consume it using JavaScript.
