Datasheet view "lists.asmx" timeout

Hi,
Im currently trying to help a client with an issue regarding a large list and datasheet view. Everything works as expected until the view contains more than one SPFieldType.User.
The list contains 9000 items (~5000 items per folder) and the view is shown in a "flat view" so all items are visible.
There is about 10-15 fields (text, currency, note, calculated fields) in total and the view opens up in datasheet view but only the first 100 or so items are loaded. After 120 seconds an error is displayed (Could not connect to the server at this time).
Fiddler2 shows the POST requests to load items from the list using Lists.asmx GetListitems method, this call lasts about 30 seconds and then "fails". Since the request wasn't returned within the 30 seconds the same call is made again. This goes
on until the 120 second mark is hit.
IS there a way to increase the timeout for this call to Lists.asmx to last more than 30 seconds ?
Or is it possible to improve the performance regarding people fields ?
- Have increased connectionTimeout in IIS
- Have checked the database fragmentation level
- Item Threshold increased to 12 000
Thanks in advance!

Hi Daniel,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to enlarge the web service timeout value to handle large data.
We can set the web service timeout value like below:
WebReference.ProxyClass myProxy = new WebReference.ProxyClass();
//Set the timeout in milliseconds - e.g. 100 seconds
myProxy.Timeout = 10000;
Here is a similiar thread for your reference:

SharePoiunt List Datasheet view cell alignment in SharePoint Online

Hi Team,
Is it possible to align cell data to top-aligned in SharePoint Online list datasheet view?
Cheers, Badal

I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
I am sharing my finding.
1. First install the
KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned in
KB2553007
These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

How to join two lists and display the results in datasheet view.?

hello,
i have two lists that i would like to join, i know a method that has been described in the link below
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/194252/How-to-Link-Two-Lists-and-Create-a-Combined-Ciew-i
however, here the data view is only limited to 30 rows and my resultant list is huge. I would like to know if there is a possibility to view the resultant list in a data sheet view ?

I don't believe you can use the OOTB Datasheet view when joining lists. However, you should be able to increase your limit from 30 items to as many as you need (that doesn't trip the threshold set in Central Admin).

Sharepoint 2010: prevent users from editing a list in the datasheet view

Hi,
I have a sharepoint 2010 list that I need to prevent users to edit from the datasheet view. This is because I have edited the add item form on sharepoint designer and included some custom code. Moreover, I need to allow the users to view the list in datasheet
view to make use of the datasheet custom filter view feature which is not available in the standard view. So I need users to access the datasheet view of the list in read mode only but be able to edit the list in standard view only. Is this possible? How?
Thanks,
George

Hi.
Maybe this helps...I found some users having the problem that the list WAS read only in datasheet view...this is a list of reasons why this could happen:
Certain columns, such as Created By and Modified, are always read-only. Values for these columns are entered automatically.
The changes you made to the selected row or column have been submitted to the server. If there is no conflict or error, you will be able to edit the row or column after the changes have been saved.
There is an unresolved conflict or error in the selected row or column. Resolve the conflict or error before attempting to edit the selected row or column.
The list is set up to require content approval, and you are viewing the list in the All Items view.
In the My Submissions view of a list that requires content approval, the
Approval Status and Comment column are read-only. Only a user with Manage Lists right can edit these two columns.
Attachments are read-only in a list that requires content approval. You cannot view or edit attachments in any of the views.
The document in the current row has been checked out by a user. You cannot edit the columns in the row until the user checks the document in.
You do not have permission to edit the column or row. Contact the list author for more information.

SPD 2010 - ID Column moves to end of List in DataSheet View

Randomly, the ID column will move from the first column to the last column when you access DataSheet view.
In Standard View it is still column 1....
We are using this ID Column:
ID# (linked to item with edit menu)
Other times this ID Column will add itself to the DataSheet View, but not the Standard View:
ID#
This is frustrating my users to NO end having to drag the column back to the first place.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!~
<label for="ShouldDisplayTitle"></label>

Hi Amber,
Let's verify the followings:
How did you create the ID# column? I am wondering whether you changed the Name of "Title" to "ID#". If not, please give the steps to create the column.
You mean that the ID# column is changed from the first position to the last one in Datasheet view, is it right? Do other columns have this issue?
Do other lists have this issue?
To narrow down this issue, please do:
Create another column which has same type with ID#, test again, compare the result.
Create a new list, and add a same column with ID#, then test in the new list, compare the result.
Thanks,
Wendy

Sharepoint 2013 Datasheet View Navigation performance Issues on large lists

I was recently upgraded to SharePoint 2013.
In SharePoint 2010 Datasheet View, one could scroll through and bulk select 100s of line items in Datasheet view very easily.   Navigating the datasheet view was just like navigating through a worksheet in Excel, and one could use quick select
keys like ctrl-shift-right arrow / down arrow to bulk select items.
After the upgrade to SharePoint 2013, using the "Quick Edit" tab in Datasheet view and changing the Item Limit to 5000 items, it takes an inordinately long time to load the list.   None of the quick select keys like ctrl-shift-right arrow
works anymore and the browser keeps warning about a slow-running script when attempting to select multiple items while scrolling through the list.
The functionality I need is for users to be able to bulk delete all line items in a SP list and copy (from Excel) and paste new line items into the SP list through their browser.

I am running SP Server 2013 with the Dec CU on my internal farm. This past week, I migrated 1 database containing 1 site collection (also ran the site upgrade to 2013). Prior to the migration, the users were using Datasheet View in 2010 to bulk
edit and also add attachments through the pop up window while in Datasheet View. After the migration, performance on their list using IE8 with less than 300 items was horrible for the end user and also for me as a farm admin (I'm running iE11).
I created a new view and performance seemed better for me and a slight improvement for the end user, but still not satisfying. The end user is using Chrome in the interim until I can test with IE9 to see if that makes a difference.
My main concern is the Quick Edit view. This user needs to be able to use the 2010 Datasheet View to manage attachments while in DS view. I created a new DS view on the affected list, but it still defaults back to the Quick Edit view. This
list is on 1 of 3 web apps in my internal farm. The interesting thing is that I can create a 2010 Datasheet View in a custom list on a site that was created in 2013 from scratch in another web app on my internal farm.  However, I can only do
this on 1 of 3 web apps. On my 2013 external farm, I can create a DS view in a 2013 site created from scratch in 1 of 2 web apps. Creating a list on the 2nd web app in DS view defaults the list back to Quick Edit. I checked in SharePoint
Manager thinking there was a web app feature that wasn't getting activated. There was only 1 web app feature that jumped out. Academic Library Site Safe Controls was activated on the 2 web apps I could create the 2010 Datasheet View on, but
not the other 3 web apps I could only seem to get the Quick Edit view when creating the DS view.
Is there a feature that needs to get activated or one that might need to be deactivated/reactivated?  My internal farm with the 3 web apps is running the Dec 2013 CU and the external farm w/the 2 web apps is running the March 2013
PU.
Aside from that, I've received complaints on the list performance using IE and not being able to use the 2010 datasheet functionality as noted above. I haven't received any complaints on being able to only copy 100 items in Quick Edit view at a time,
but I have also noticed that issue. In my case, the retry doesn't work and I have to delete anything over 100 items before it will save. I would like to find a resolution on this as well. Every bit of help I can get with this issue is very
much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

IE crashes when editing a list view in datasheet view

Using MOSS 2007;
We have a list which crashes browser (IE 8) when the list is edited in datasheet view. I've figured out that a Multi-line text field is causing this issue. I've created a view
without this field and the edit in datasheet is working fine. This is not a permission issue for sure. Anybody
have any idea, please advice.
Update:
- This issue is in only one user's machine, others are able to edit without any issue.
--Cheers

Thanks Vijay for your suggestion. So finally I got the user to try your suggestion and unfortunately the issue still persists.
One strange thing we noticed is - this issue is with only one list - apparently user can use the Datasheet view for other lists. Now it's not a list specific issue as another affected user can use this DataSheet view from another computer and I can't reproduce
this issue from my computer even though I've two different versions of the 'STSList.dll'.
Any other suggestion?
Here is what we tried so far without success:
We found roughly 11 of the 'STSList.dll' in his C drive - out of those 2 were in Program Files folder. Since
the user has Office 2010 and Designer 2007 installed, we moved the DLL from the Office12 folder to test. this did not fix the issue.
Ran repair Office Program from Control Panel - no luck
Deleted the registry entry "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{65BCBEE4-7728-41A0-97BE-14E1CAE36AAE}" as per this
blog
Tried running IE in 8 mode and 9 Compatibility mode..no luck
Affected computers's Office version - Office Prof Plus 2010 (64 bit), IE 9 and Window 7

Can you make some columns Read/Display Only in DataSheet view?

I noticed on another posting what appears to be a datasheet view with 3 of the columns in a display mode. Can someone confirm if this is possible?
Here is the original posting.

Hi Stunpals,
This always happens on the column type Multiple Lines of Text .
And certain columns, such as Created By and Modified, are always read-only. Values for these columns are entered automatically.
When you open the list in datasheet, click on one the column, if it’s read only, you will see read only in right bottom corner.

Issues with the Custom Filter in Datasheet View

I'm seeing some odd, yet intermittent, behavior while trying to filter columns in datasheet view using a custom filter. After clicking to apply a filter to a column and choosing 'Custom Filter...' a pop-up with regular expressions should appear much like
the following screenshot:
However sometimes, usually on a page refresh, this pops up instead:
I have been able to replicate this sporadically in both IE 8 and 9 against different columns but it's really inconsistent. I can't seem to find any configuration issues or commonality across the clients that might be responsible. Local installations of Office
are 32bit. I know 64bit has been known to cause some issues. I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this issue at all or perhaps it has been addressed in a more recent CU than what I am running (14.0.6117.5002). Any insight would be much appreciated,
thanks in advance.

Hello all
We get this as well on one computer in the office. It seems to be more of an MS Office issue than a Sharepoint issue specifically the "Microsoft Office List 14.0" ActiveX add in.
On one computer that has Office 2010, when "Edit in Datasheet" is clicked within a Sharepoint list the MS office list 14 ActiveX is called and the custom filter options appear with the missing combo boxes like in the picture at the top. I've found this is
reproducible by simply doing:
1. Visit a Sharepoint list
2. Actions > Edit in Datasheet
(If you click one of the drop downs at this point and choose Custom filter it will open as expected)
3. Actions > Show in standard view
4. Actions > Edit in Datasheet
5. Click one of the drop downs, choose Custom filter and the problem will occur
The only way to make the option reappear is to close down IE and reopen it. You'll then get one more go with point 1 and 2 above before the problem will reoccur again after changing the view using Actions.
Anyone using Office 2007 doesn't seem to have this problem however this uses a different version of the control namely "Microsoft Office List 12.0"
Uninstalling Office 2010 and reinstalling it seems to fix it for a bit but the problem will soon come back. Strangely it won't come back straight away but when it does its easy to reproduce following the above steps.
Testing this on another computer that just happens to have Office 2010 and Sharepoint Designer 2007 installed the problem does not occur however when the ActiveX is called for the Sharepoint list it just happens to invoke the Office List 12 version despite
the fact both versions are available on the machine.
This probably happens because Sharepoint Designer was installed after Office 2010 was installed on the machine so has updated the registry to call the older version which seems to be problem free.
ActiveX files
Microsoft Office List 12.0 = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\STSLIST.DLL
Microsoft Office List 14.0 = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\STSLIST.DLL
Version 14.0.6015.1000 - came with Office 2010 with SP1
I've tried patching version 14.0 STSLIST.dll to:
14.0.6130.5000 (KB2589349)
14.0.6137.5000
(KB2760804) - 9th April 2013 and is the newest I could find at the time.
Edit as I'm typing this: Just found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817403 which is dated 11th June 2013 but doesn't mention any fix for this problem.
I've tried installing the Sharepoint services support components using the Sharepoint Designer installer package as below:
This includes the STSLIST.dll version 12.0 and updates the registry accordingly so that this component is referenced and does seem to fix the problem.
Unfortunately for me, when I checked back later the browser had reverted back to using the 14.0 component for reason I can't explain. Perhaps a Windows update came through and "adjusted" the registry settings to use the newer version. Unfortunately any attempt
at deleting the 14.0 file simply recreates it when "Edit in Datasheet" is choosen.
It would be great to get a proper fix for this instead of having to try and force the computer to use the older component!

Infopath fields binding not visible in datasheet view Sharepoint 2010

Hello Everyone!!!
I have created a custom list in sharepoint then customized the infopath form in infopath form designer. I have created a drop down and bind the dropdown form the soap web service method. It is working fine when I open the form.
But when i open the DataSheet View of custom list, field is displaying but the drop down list is not getting bind with data. what is issue. Infopath binding and rule don't work with datasheet view?
Please reply

Hi,
As you mentioned dd data is appearing in form but not in datasheet view...
maybe there are compatibility issues
with 32 bit and 64 bit component of office and IE.
Try reinstalling "2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components" (link below)it installs a 32-bit version
of the Datasheet component that will work with the 64-bit version of Office 2010 as long as you are using a 32-bit version of an Internet browser.
