Confirm site use and deletion - How does it work?

I've been trying to find answers to this topic and read through a number of posts and technet, but I can't seem to get a clear answer on how this process works.  Actually my concern is that I have seen conflicting answers.
As I read the description, it "sounds" like that if we set a date of 180 days, then the system will send an email to the site owner 180 days after site creation so they can confirm usage.  If they confirm, then the clock starts again and they
will get another email in 180 days.  If they don't confirm, then we go into the config for multiple emails and eventual deletion.
Is that how it really works?  I would have thought it would track inactivity someway, but I can't seem to find it that is true.  Does it track inactivity?  If so, how?  By last content update or last visit?

Run a test in a dev enviroment and you will find that they are wrong, unless it changed for 2013.  I haven't specifically verified it lately, but it definitely didn't work that way in 2007 or 2010.  Also check this sentence from the "Plan for site
maintenance and management in SharePoint 2013" article on 2013 found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262509.aspx#section3
"This feature works by automatically sending an e-mail message to site owners to see if they consider their site active. "
Notice that it doesn't say anything about sending it only to "Inactive" site owners.  The way I read this is that it goes to ALL site
owners.  That's the way it worked in the past and I don't think its been upgraded.

  • DELETE when using a JOIN - How does this work?

    I need to perform a DELETE but must join 2 tables to get the correct rows. I only want to delete data from one table. Unfortunately, neither table has a primary key. Is there an easy way to do this and be certain of the results? (I've inherited this database and have no source code or documentation.... So the obvious solution of fixxing the data structure isn't really an option.) Thanks for your help.

    Without seeing your data structures and with the lack of primary keys, it is hard to give a specific response, but in general, the delete might look something like:
    delete
      from t1
    where id in (select t1.id
                    from t1, t2
                   where t2.id = t1.id
                     and t2.some_column = 'something');Here the subquery is joining the two tables together and examining a column in the "non-delete" table to see if the corresponding row should be deleted. The resultant ids are then deleted from the base table (t1).
    Is this close to what you are trying to do?

  • GRC-AC 5.3  CUP  Functional Area and Company - How does it works?

    Hello experts,
    Can someone give a clue on how do Roles Attributes -> "Functional Area and Company" works?
    I was imagining that it could be used a stage with Approver Determinator by "Role" , but had no success, is that the right way to use it?

    Hello Chinmaya,
    Thanks for your reply.
    In fact, I already use Company and also Functional Area in the role for filtering purposes.  I do not need different initiators for different Companies.
    What I really tried to do was make GRC-CUP determine the role approvers of a stage to those I informed in Configuration -> Roles -> Attributes -> "Functional Area and Company".
    Consider this example:  if someone ask for a role that have Functional Areas F1 and F2 and Companies C1 and C2, and I configured Funcional Area and Company F1C1 to approver A, F1C2 to approver B, F2C1 to approver C, F2C2 to approver D.  Then the request would go to approvers A, B, C and D.  This is sort of what I was expecting, but could not make it work.

  • FCE and avchd how does it work?

    Hi everybody,
    I'm interested in FCE for editing avchd but I don't know how it works.
    I mean, when I log and capture from my sony hdr sr12, can you see and edit it straight as it is or is avchd to be converted into another codec more FCE friendly?
    That would mean one more step and as consequence there would be a quality degrade.
    Does anyone Know how it works?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Paolo

    apple has posted these details regarding AVCHD
    "iMovie ’08 and Sony HDR-CX11, HDRCX12, HDR-SR1 and HDR-SR7 cameras work with AVCHD (high-definition) and MPEG-2 standard definition (SD) content when you follow these guidelines.
    If the Sony HDR-CX11, HDRCX12, HDR-SR1, HDR-SR7 and HDR-SR12 cameras contain both HD (AVCHD) and SD (MPEG-2) content, iMovie ’08 can import the SD (MPEG-2) content. However, to import the HD (AVCHD) content to an Intel-based Mac, you must first erase the SD (MPEG-2) content on the camera."

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • HT1339 my older iPod my husband wants to use and his netbook does not have cd drive. How do I down load iPod and iTunes info for this product so he can now use it?

    my older iPod my husband wants to use and his netbook does not have cd drive. How do I down load iPod and iTunes info for this product so he can now use it?

    Your question(s) is/are a little hard to understand.  So your husband has an iPod as well as a netbook and he wants to be able to sync iPod with this netbook is that correct?  If so, he'll need to first download and install iTunes assuming the netbook is running some version of Windows such as 7, Vista, or XP.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    As for importing or ripping music, he'll have to either use an external CD/DVD drive that is attached via USB or rip the songs to another PC you have with a built in CD/DVD drive.  Once you have imported them to the other computer, you can transfer the songs to an external hard drive or to his iTunes library via Home Sharing.
    If this isn't quite what you were looking for, please clarify.

    It should be added either to your iTunes account, or possibly to your credit card if the purchase was made on with it.
    How long ago did you get the email ? It may take 48 hours for it to appear - if it's been longer than that and you can't see it on your iTunes balance (and you've tried logging out and back into the account to see if the balance updates) nor on your credit card then try contacting Support again, and include your case number if you have one.

    You must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download avaiable now without specially calling Apple).
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

    Go into the settings and the app store. there you'll see the options to automatially update purchases. You can turn it off for music or other content. That should keep things from automatically downloading to both your devices.

  • What is efax and how does it work?

    Hi!
    eFax® is a service provided by eFax®, not Hewlett-Packard, that allows you to send and receive faxes using the Internet rather than a phone line. eFax® is easy to use, but it is different than a typical phone-based fax machine. You don't require a phone line to use it, so you don't have to worry about busy signals and you can place your printer where you want it, not where the phone jacks are located! The fax number you are provided will not typically be a local number, and may even be in a different country. You will receive 20 incoming and 20 outgoing fax pages per month for free with this service. Your page counts will reset at midnight Pacific Time on the first of each month. You can also subscribe to eFax® Plus to obtain additional pages per month by visiting: http://www.eFax.com/products/internet-fax.
    How does it work?
    eFax® uses the printer Internet connection to send and receive faxes. When you send a fax, it is sent over the Internet to the eFax® server and then eFax® sends your fax to the recipient's fax machine over a standard phone line.
    Your faxes are received in a similar manner, but the order is reversed. The sender sends the fax over a phone line to eFax® and then eFax® sends the fax to your printer using HP's ePrint service.
    This question was solved.

    Hi Im_cheesecake,
    Great information, if you don't mind I just wanted to piggy back off of your post, to clear any potential confusion.
    The 20 free incoming & 20 free outgoing faxes are with HP printer's that include the eFax service print app.  As of now, we have three printer series' that include the pre-installed eFax print app: HP Photosmart 7510 Series, HP Envy 110 Series, and the HP Photosmart eStation C510a.  
    eFax also has a free plan which allows you to receive a limited number of faxes but does not allow you to send any faxes. If you exceed the number of received faxes allowed, eFax will prompt you to upgrade to a paying account. Here are the main details of the free plan:
    One remote (i.e. non-local) eFax number
    Area code/prefix is selected by eFax and cannot be changed (unless you upgrade to a paid account)
    20 incoming fax pages per month (receive-only)
    You are prompted to upgrade to a paying account if you exceed 20 incoming pages, or if you need send capability.

  • Menu Object; MANUAL option. What is this, and how does it work?

    What is this... and, how does it work? Can't find documentation on this.

    My knee-jerk reaction is, "are f'n kidding me?"... but, of course, you're not.
    I must say, that is an incredibly useless option. How would that 'option" differ from simply making a text object (or text/rectangle/image combo or group) and creating a link?
    What got me looking at this option was the hope to find some way to insert a dynamic "field" that could be used on a master page to display the current page title (of a page based on that master). Something similar to Word (and other applications) that you can enter information into a document property and then insert that information anywhere within the document by using a field code for that info. I don't know if there is an HTML code that could be used to accomplish this, in this case. Something that would refer to the page title.
    Thanks for the info none-the-less.
