Create document item from list, then no lookups

SharePoint 2013: I have a content type set up in a document library with a default document template attached (in this case an excel workbook file).
In SPD 2013 (using a 2010 workflow), I can use the "Create Item in List" function in SPD from an adjacent list on the same site collection to create a record in the document library, and set the content type such that when the workflow is done there
is indeed a new document waiting for me in the doc library, utilizing the expected template file.
The issue:
The output of the "Create Item in List" function is the ID of the item created. Using the Create variable, I believe I should be able to immediately lookup attributes of the newly created Document item, such as the last modified date and URLs.
I'm doing the lookups within the output of a Log (to workflow history) function. However, certain fields always come back blank. Performing the same lookup, using a known Document item ID (created in another w/f session) is successful. It
would be nice to email out a URL of the file I just created from the same workflow.
I've tried having the W/F wait up to 5 minutes, but it appears that certain attributes cannot ever be retrieved in the same workflow, while others can indeed be retrieved (GUID of the new doc is successful, for instance).
I've read some online debate related to this, but I can't find anyone having the exact same issue as me, nor explain why it's happening. It seems like it should be so straightforward. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you create a document library item using “Create item in list ” action and when you log some certain attributes of the item to workflow history list, then
it has no value.
I try to reproduce this issue with your steps and it works as expected in my environment.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you do as the followings:
1. Check if the certain new created item field has value in the list which always return blank.
2. I suggest you can create a new simple workflow to log the field data for new created item to workflow history list to test if it works.
3. If the issue still exists, I suggest you can track the workflow using Fiddler. You can see detailed web request for the workflow, it will be easier to find the cause of this issue.
Here is a detailed article for your reference:

Copy item from List A to List B, generate 2 rows in List B

Hi,
I would like to copy and update items from List A to List B. However, I want the item to be duplicated in List B.
I will explain my scenario
- List A contains a People Picker column of multiple selection and a Title column
- When the form is submitted, a workflow should trigger to copy the item to List B. If the People Picker column contains 2 values inside it, for example, user1;user2. The copied item should be duplicated in rows according to the number of users.
Example
Columns Title, Users, ID
List A - TicketNo1, User1; User2, 1
List B - TicketNo1, User1 1
List B - TicketNo1, User2 1
Can this be done OOTB or must we use some event receiver..has anyone ever done such a thing before?

Hi,
Below code help you to accomplish your task using event receiver
public
override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
//base.ItemAdded(properties);
if (properties.ListTitle ==
"ListA")
SPUser user = null;
//get value of fields
string strTitle = Convert.ToString(properties.ListItem["Title"]);
SPFieldUser userField = (SPFieldUser)properties.ListItem.Fields.GetField("TaskAssignUser");
SPFieldUserValueCollection fieldcollectionValue = (SPFieldUserValueCollection)userField.GetFieldValue(Convert.ToString(properties.ListItem["TaskAssignUser"]));
foreach (SPFieldUserValue fieldValue
in fieldcollectionValue)
                   user = fieldValue.User;
                   //Create items in another list
SPList destinationList = properties.Web.Lists["ListB"];
SPListItem targetItem = destinationList.Items.Add();
                   targetItem["Title"] = strTitle;
                   targetItem["WorkAssigned"] = user;
                   targetItem.Update();

How create temporary table from list of values

Can you anybody advise me how can I create temporary table from list of values? I have list of values and need create temporary table for next use with command JOIN etc.
Thank you for help

NO, you can not create temporary table in oracle on the fly ( Like #Tabels in SQl Server or Sybase ) , you will have to use the GTT i.e Global Temporary Tables
check the following link GTT :
to flush the tables after commit
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
column1 NUMBER,
column2 NUMBER
) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;In contrast, the ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS clause indicates that rows should be preserved until the end of the session.
so to keep rows in Table after commit
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
column1 NUMBER,
column2 NUMBER
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;

How to drag and drop item from list to another item in list and change their positions

I have a list field with multiple items. I want to select one item from list and drag and drop to another item in the list
after drop item on another item the position of items should be change. (Example:- if I select 1st item from list and drag and drop this item to 4th item in list after drop that item position of both item should be changed 1st item on 4th position and 4th item on 1st position)
I don't know how to do this.Please help me to find the solution.

Hello Zoltan,
I do not believe that kind of option is built into the listboxes, but I was able to have similiar functionalities using property nodes. I have included an example program that I put together.
The big difference is that instead of dragging, you double click on the item you want to transfer. To highlight items as you go down the list, all you need to do is set the value to that list number.
Hope this helps you out!

Create a project from list item not working if EPT has Project Plan Template

HI,
i am trying to leverage the new feature in 2013 to create a project from an idea list.
This works fine if the EPT does not have Project Plan template assigned to it. Even through workflow action "Create Project from current list item".
However if i assign a project plan template and the user creating the project  is not Administrators Group member, i get an error. While doing this trough a workflow the worfklow gets suspended and i have the below message:

Any one has experienced this ?
Thx

Hi, RonyZ.
I think it could help.
I have experienced the same problem as you are, except "Create project" option, my managers could do it.
So, for me a solution was to set definite permissions for Workflow Initiators (I have created new group, but you can edit, including
Global permissions
New project
Open project template
Server configuration management
For category “My organization”
Open Project
Publish Project
Save Project on Project Server
Excuse me my translation, some names can be written not properly, cause I have localized SP.
In you case, I think, you should check, if you PM group has all these permissions.
And Workflow Initiator should be in group which has.
In LOGS error notifications starts with “Permission denied”, then goes account
name and then the name of permission which is left.

Creating page items from pl/sql procedure and using them on a page

I have a page containing 2 select lists (P21_DEPARTMENTS and P21_DATE). Originally I added them as items that were "select list with submits". The problem is that based on the clearance level of the currently logged on user I only wanted the P21_DEPARTMENTS to be a select list if the user was an administrator. If however the user is not an admin then I want the page to have a hidden form field called P21_DEPARTMENTS that stores the user's department and has a label item that has the department name.
There is also a report region that generates a table based on the department selected from the select list (if the user is an admin) or the value stored in the hidden form field if the user is not.
My problem is that I cannot have both those items on the same page and use the HTML built-in authentication to determine which item should be rendered because I need to use the same ID for both items so that the stored procedure in my report region doesn't break. HTML does not permit items to share the same ID.
I tried to circumvent the problem by creating a stored procedure that performs all of the item rendering in the procedure and uses "htp.p()" to output all of my HTML code. This solution would allow me to pass a parameter into the procedure informing me as to whether or not the user is an administrator. If the user is an administrator the procedure would use a conditional statement and render a select list. If not, the hidden form field and label option would be used instead.
I finally got the stored procedure working perfectly. Now I am encountering the most bizarre thing. Since the "select list with submit" was not working (I used the same code that gets generated when I created other items using htmlDB's GUI) I decided to use a JavaScript function instead that gets triggered by the onChange event. I send along the value that is currently selected in the select list and in the function I set:
location.href='http://www.myoraclesite.com/pls/htmldb/f?p=111:21:729740000000000000::NO::P21_DEPARTMENTS:1';
In theory this should work. The problem is that it doesn't. The page reloads and the P21_DEPARTMENTS select list is not pre-selected.
The only thing I can think of is that when htmlDB generates page items that you've created with it's own admin tool it assigns some internal guid or something as opposed to when someone tries to generate dynamic page items of their own from a pl/sql procedure it's like the application doesn't even know they exist.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
My only other solution would be to create a totally separate page (one for admin and another for non-admin). I would really like to avoid this.
Thanks in advance.

I would love to be able to generate my menus and
various other items in my htmlDB applications in much
the same way I can using ASP, PHP and Cold Fusion.
Users should have the ability to write server-side
code wherever they feel like it. The way htmlDB works
right now I spend more time trying to figure out how
to create simple effects and generate simple
interfaces when I need to be building a portal. Ami - it's important to understand that HTML DB is not like other languages. Thus, trying to force concepts which are common in other languages into HTML DB will often result in more work.
It's definitely worth the time to go over the HTML DB 2-day Developer, which can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/pdf/B14377_01.pdf
I can build a portal using Classic ASP, C#, PHP or Cold
Fusion in like 1/10 of the time that it takes me to
build one using htmlDB. I understand that this is not
meant for the hard-core programmer but no web
programming application in today's day and age should
prevent experts from getting under the hood.And I can build a Portal in HTML DB in 1/10 the time it will take me to do it in any other language. It's like anything else - proficiency comes with practice and work.
As for getting under the hood, there is plenty of places you can do that with HTML DB. Keep in mind that HTML DB itself is an HTML DB application, so the limits on what you can build with HTML DB are virtually limitless.
Sorry for the vent there. After spending the last 2
days trying to figure out how to implement such a
straightforward thing and now being informed that it
can't be done kind of bugged me.I understand your frustration, as I've been there before. My rule for beginners is that if you are writing more than a line or two of code in the first week, you're doing something wrong. Stop, take a break, and then use the ample resources (including searching this forum) to help solve your problem. There are plenty of resources available for you to learn about HTML DB on the HTML DB home page: http://otn.oracle.com/htmldb
Good luck,

How can i remove items from list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing empty

how can i remove items from the list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing folder empty

Actually, Reader SHOULD keep showing documents that no longer exist, I disagree. It's no big deal, and people will quickly realise why they can't open the file. They open more files, the old ones move off.
The REASON why it should not check is that checking whether a file exists can take a long time when things aren't good. For instance if a file server goes down, or a memory card is unplugged. That in turn would mean delays opening the File menu, and I've seen some software that can sit there for several minutes. That would really give people something of which to complain...

Create Menu items from table data?

Wondering if anyone knows of a way(if even possible) to create menu items on logon from table data where the menu data is stored?

You'd have to make the menu code generic as well - probably the bet bet would be to have each menu item calling a common procedure but passing in the menu item selected - you'll then have to cross reference that with the current function of that menu item and do the right thing.

JList run time errors when removing items from list

//set the size of cells in the list with the length of the string
conList.setPrototypeCellValue("Lenght 1234567890");
conList.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);
conList.addListSelectionListener(new ValueReporter());
//set a scroll onto the list
JScrollPane conScroll = new JScrollPane(conList);
add(conScroll,c);
//when the button gets pressed to drop the selected item the following code is called
private void dropConsumer()
int selItem=0;
componentsV.comVRemove(conList.getSelectedValue().toString());
selItem=conList.getSelectedIndex();
System.out.println("No:"+(model.getSize()-1));
System.out.println("S:"+selItem);
remConList(selItem);
dropCon.setEnabled(false);

Automatically create security groups from list of OU's

Here I'm looking to create security groups automatically form the list of OU's available in active directory and add OU users to receptive groups.
Help me to do this in power shell. THanks in advance.

Hi,
You can use Get-ADOrganizationalUnit to get a list of OUs in AD and then use New-ADGroup to create groups. You can then use Get-ADUser with the -SearchBase parameter to find your list of users who exist in the particular OUs. Finally, you can use Add-ADGroupMember
to add these users to the groups.

but the template can be found in the SPListTemplateCollection.
Can any one please suggest a solution to it. or is there any workaround.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Arockiaraj_SP,
Do you mean that you can create new list instance in browser using the list template, but not with server object model, or CAML using new List instance from the project?
please make sure that the template can be used to create new list instance, would you please provide the code sample you use?

Create Word Doc from list with multiple items (repeat region)

I have a document library that creates an invoice document based on another list. The list has multiple items that where purchased and need to appear on the invoice. It is only showing the first purchase item and not the others. How do I get all the items
to display (repeating region)?
Example:
Invoice #
Salesperson
Items Purchased
item 1
item 2
etc...
Thanks!

I've tried these examples but it only grabs the first item and places it in the word document. I need it to grab all the items.
Example:
Invoice #
Salesperson
Items Purchased
item 1
item 2
etc...

Fastest way to create a group from list of recived emails

I thought this would be as easy as drag and drop but no such luck.
Here's the situation. I had a class of 25 students email me from their mobile phones all using the same subject. Now I'd like to create a mailing list / group so that I can easly contact all of them if need be. I tried creating a new group and dragging all of the emails into it to no avail. I also tried right clicking and checking the menus to see if there were any options which there weren't.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'd be open to using automator or something similar if it worked.
Thanks,
Greg

I think the fastest way to do this is in Mail>Message>Add to Address Book, then in AB>File>New Smart Group>Card:>Was updated After... say yesterday, then select all those & make a new (not Smart) Group to drag them to so it won't change after that.
Unless you could get them all to eMail with some other unique that AB can see as a Group field.
