Duplicating list contents to SharePoint site in another farm

Hi,
What is the best way to duplicate the contents of a list between two sharepoint farms? Once all contents are in the destination, there will also have to be a scheduled update with new content. I have heard about a publishing feature in SP 2013. Will this
do the trick? If so, is there any documentation on how to accomplish this?
thanks,
Sherazad

Content deployment enables you to copy content from a source site collection to a destination site collection(from one farm to other farm).
This is very much popular method in industry people use it from Authoring farm to Publishing farm inorder to secure the content. you can deploy full site to one list.
You can follow the below technet to configure the Content Deployment, Job & path and schedule it according to your need.
Configure content deployment settings
Manage content deployment paths and jobs
Manage Quick Deploy jobs

List of Deleted sharepoint sites

SharePoint Experts,
How do I genererate a list of deleted sharepoint sites? I know there's a command Get-SPDeletedSite but I think that's for a specific site where you know what site and ID, etc.
Thanks,
Hubble

Hi Hubble,
Yes you can used Get-SPDeletedSite – this command gets a list of all deleted Site Collections in your far.
the above command give the site id,path and datetime.
https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/itpro/pages/sharepoint-2010-sp1-recovering-deleted-sites-and-site-collections.aspx
and you can also check in site collection administration setting click on recylce bin where you can get list of all deleted site.
Site Collection Recycle Bin, administrators can view items from both the End User, and second-stage Recycle Bins. After deleting a site, it will appear in the second-stage recycle bin viewed by selecting the "Deleted from end user Recycle Bin"
view.
If you delete a sub-site within a Site Collection, the sub-site can be recovered from the Site Collection Recycle Bin. The Site Collection Recycle Bin, sometimes referred to as the "2nd level" recycle bin is where items are normally moved after they
have expired from the User Recycle Bin.

Get data from Sharepoint site in different farm using webservice, and current site using claims mode authentication.

Hi ,
I have a site that runs on Claims Mode ( NTLM) . That site has a web part that needs to show the data from any sharepoint farm, SharePoitn 2010 , or 2007 or 2003.
I am getting 401 unauthorized when I try to get data from webservice running in sharePoint context.
But when I run the same code in Windows Console application then it is giving no error.
What I doubt is that this issue is due to the reason that I have set
claims mode authentication.
Because same code is running in different farm in a site that is configured using windows authentication.

So generally speaking, you're talking about a VERY long running topic of authentication methods... and generally speaking, in the world of Windows, the only long running authentication options have been:
- NTLM (limited to one hop)
- Kerberos (unlimited hops)
- Application level authentication (ex: SQL auth, also, no hops)
Recently, Microsoft has been investing in Claims Based Auth... and I fully expect claims to start working their way into other systems (previously starting to work into Windows via the CardSpace technology, but also in other ways such as Win8's ability to
log in with a LiveID)... but building a new authentication method into ALL applications is a VERY long process, and the complexity of claims adds a LOT of consideration (claims from the same AD can look VERY different depending on the STS, so lots of questions
around things like bridging claims).
So as far your SP auth needs...
IF both applications are CLAIMS AWARE, then you MAY be able to use claims (which support unlimited hops)... but that's just not very likely yet (and will probably take another 5-10 years to be available across the entire enterprise)... otherwise, KERBEROS
Outside of the Microsoft world... KERBEROS is open spec, so is supported by other systems (such as authenticating to linux)... claims based auth is also open spec, but again, still new... there are a few other options (LDAP, etc), but none that are native
to Windows (so you rely on things like third party auth modules for Windows, which Novell has done for DECADES with NDS and eDir)
And again, SharePoint can convert claims to Kerberos using the C2WTS... which MS uses internally for things Excel Services connecting to a backend SQL server... but it DOES require the Kerb and C2WTS configuration.
if you're having issues using Kerb auth... then it sounds like Kerb isn't configured correctly... and Kerb is a PAIN to configure (whitepaper for SP Kerb is ~100 pages long)... IIS (and SharePoint) also has the added benefit of failing over to NTLM if Kerb
fails (and you shouldn't disable this behavior, since it'll break other settings elsewhere)

How do I copy a list from one site to another that has a column that appends changes to existing text?

I want to move a list from one SharePoint site to another, within the same collection. I have created a template and included the content but the column that is selected to append changes to existing text, has not copied in all cases, although it has for
some items.
I have a limited knowledge so won't be able to implement any solutions that require the use of code.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to copy a list from one site to another that has a column that appends changes to existing text.
I recommend to use the custom workflow activity Copy List Item Extended Activityto
copy list items and files cross site.
You can do this with codeless SharePoint Designer workflows as long as you can install the
Codeplex Custom SharePoint Designer Workflow Activities.
These activities are also built-in to SPD2010.
To install the custom activities, please follow the steps as below:
Download the solution file form
Useful Sharepoint Designer Custom Workflow Activities
Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
Open the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
Run the command: add spsolution c:\ dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp
Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
Open the SharePoint designer, add action from Custom Actions.

Cannot create dataset from claims based authentication sharepoint site in report builder 3.0

I have a sharepoint site, which is configured as claims based authentication (ref:
http://ashrafhossain.wordpress.com/2011/05/25/how-to-configure-claim-based-authentication-for-sharepoint-project-server-2010/) . both AD and asp.net members can log in to the site successfully. My user need to use the report build to create report
on this sharepoint site. As a result, the site is also integrated with reporting service. I try to create a report in the sharepoint site by clicking "New Document" -> "Report builder Report". The report builder will comes out and ask for credential to
connect to the report server. I use asp.net member to login and it can let me to create a data source which connect to a the list of the sharepoint site with credential option "Use current Windows user. Kerberos delegation might be required". However, when
I try to create a data set and click the query designer, error "Server was unable to process request. ---> Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))" appear as below:

Hi Foxvito,
Claims authentication types supported by SharePoint 2010 are Windows Claims, forms-based authentication Claims, and SAML Claims. In SAML-Claims mode, SharePoint Server accepts SAML tokens from a trusted external Security Token Provider (TST). From the
blog you referenced, it seems to use the SAML Claims authentication.
However, the Reporting Services client applications: Report Builder, the Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio, and Management Studio do not support connecting and authenticating with LiveID or SAML Claims based SharePoint Web applications.
That's because the SAML Claims don't use the Reporting Services authentication endpoint. So, you have to change the Claims authentication type to use Report Builder on the SharePoint site.

Image Search by contents in SharePoint 2013?

Is it possible to search a SharePoint image by its content? example I take a screenshot and search by the text in screenshot?any custom ifilter available?

Hi,
By default, it is possible to search a Microsoft office(such as word, excel…) by its content in SharePoint sites. However, it is impossible to search a SharePoint image
by its content.
Here is a third party tool,

Deployed lists in a SharePoint hosted app use the wrong content type.

I am using Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 to deploy a SharePoint hosted app to my SharePoint 2013 development environment.
I have created 2 lists, one of which is using a custom content type with custom columns and the other is just a simple custom list definition and instance, all of which are deployed inside the same feature.
However when I go to the simple list, it is using the content type from the other list, even though in the schema.xml shows that it is not supposed to use this content type. I have checked the content type ID and it is not referencing my custom content type,
but for some reason the list is using that content type.
I remember seeing this same issue a few months ago while creating a SP2010 sandbox solution. It could well be something I'm doing wrong when creating the lists/content type.
Steps to recreate this issue:
Create a SharePoint hosted app in VS
Create some custom fields
Create a custom content type
Create a list based on that content type
Create another list not based on the content type
Delete feature that VS creates for the second list and add the list def and instance to the main feature (containing the other list and content type)
Deploy and go to second list, note that it has the custom fields from the first list.
Any advice on what to do about this would be great. I have tried deleting the list and recreating it in VS several times but that didn't work.
Thanks
David

Hi
I have now tested against a trail Office 365 Developer site and I had to make a few adjustments
- change the url
- change the target to SharePoint Onlne
- change the url
I still wasn't happy so I created a new SharePoint Hosted app and pointed at the above developer site. I copied my CrossDomainExec.js and stripped all my code except my CopyItemInSameLIbrary method which hasn't changed since I created this post.
- changed the App Manifest permissions to Web -full Control ( was previously tenant)
I still got errors which is really painful as you don't even see the POST request in Fiddler
The URL used for my POST is as follows ( note host URL is fictitious)
"https://myapphell-547d8061d39e38.sharepoint.com/sites/appsdev/RESTTestSHA/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/Getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/sites/appsdev/Shared Documents/SrcDoc.docx')/copyTo(strNewUrl='/sites/appsdev/Shared Documents/DestDoc.docx', bOverWrite=true)?@target='https://myapphell.sharepoint.com/sites/appsdev'" String
Ran the app a second time and now I see......Wow it WORKS!!!!!! ..Can't be true can it?
.... next I will switch the target url to my on prem farm to see if this still works so watch this space!

How to auto populate data from one list in SharePoint 2007 into another list based on a key value?

Hi,
As a part of new requirement in my project I am supposd to work on SharePoint 2007. I have one List (BCExtract - Main list) with all data related to an Application (like ID, name, app manager RTO etc).
I have created another list which has form to be filled by a user (with details about his/her applications). My requirement is that when the user enters AIT ID then the page should refresh (probably after hitting enter) and other details like Application
name, RTO etc which is present in another list gets auto populated depending on the AIT ID (unique column) entered so reduce the burden on the user.
Please suggest me how this can be done. I do not have permission for obtaining SharePoint Designer and I do not know JQuery. Infopath is ok but if this can be done through SharePoint 2007 alone then it would be great.
Thanks....

Hello,
You can either use jquery/jaavscript or infopath form to achieve this. There is no default way to do this.
I would suggest jquery because you can put script in newform/editfor.aspx page using content editor webpart. Refer this link for jquery:
To get value from list:

http://www.robertkuzma.com/2010/08/read-list-items-using-sharepoint-web-services-and-jquery/
To set value in column:

http://spservices.codeplex.com/discussions/468729
If you use infopath form, then you need to create two data connection to get data from both lists. Later you can set value in fields based on selection using rule. This can be possible without code.
Hope it could help

A connection to the SharePoint site cannot be established. To synchronize or refresh your list, you must be able to connect to the SharePoint site

Hi,
I have a SharePoint 2010 farm with two Web Applications.
For example:
https://contoso.domain.com
https://finance.domain.com
Both Webapp use https --> 443. Same valid certificate for both (*.domain.com)
I tested exporting an Excel library in https://contoso.domain.com.
It export and sync up sucessful the Excel library and it updates it OK.
However, once exported the Excel library in https://finance.domain.com, when
I try to syncronize or update the library I receive an error back, which indicates: "A connection to the SharePoint site cannot be established. To synchronize or
refresh your list, you must be able to connect to the SharePoint site". I had tested the WebDav (Map Network Drive) and the connection results OK.
Do you have any idea about this issue?? Why https://finance.domain.com do not
synchronize or refresh in excel o SharePoint site???
I had tested the security with IIS, SSL, WebDav.
Thank you,
Gaby

Hi!!!
I solved this problem.
I created a new Application Web in the farm (https://project.domain.com), dismount content database the old application web ( https://finance.domain.com)
and the new application web (https://project.domain.com).
#New AppWeb project.domain.com
Get-SPContentDatabase -WebApplication https://project.domain.com | Dismount-SPContentDatabase -WhatIf
#Old AppWeb
Get-SPContentDatabase -WebApplication https://finance.domain.com | Dismount-SPContentDatabase -WhatIf
Mount the old content database to the new application web (https://project.domain.com).
Mount-SPContentDatabase "WSS_Content_Finance" -DatabaseServer "MyServer" -WebApplication https://project.domain.com
If you want to keep the same url, change the alternate access mappings.
Remember to change the bindings in IIS.
Hope you help the solution...

How Documents or lists moving from one Subsite to another Subsite in sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I have one site, it consists 5 subsite.
One subsite consists 5 document libraries.
How to move Doument libraries and lists from one site to another site in sharepoint 2010.
Each subsite access by different users.
Thanks,
GAK Austin

Here are few options/ways:
1) Save the library as template and reuse at another sub sites. Here the permission will be revoked at destination site
2) Use sitemanager page to move list and libraries. URL owuld be SITEURL/_layouts/sitemanager.aspx . You will have the old permisison at another sub site.
3) Use Powershell command to have the xeport and import of that library from source to destination
4) Use Contentdeployment tool. It is free from codeplex
Many Thanks,

Changing the Site URL of a Sharepoint site changes the content type order

Description
Changing the Site URL of a Sharepoint site changes the content type order of all lists that
* contain folder content types
* and have a custom content type order
* where a folder content type is the first content type in order.
Reproducible behaviour
1. Create a Team Site in Sharepoint
2. Create a Task List "Test" on the Team Site
3. Go to List Settings
4. The Content Type order is by default
    a. Task
    b. Summary Task
5. Change the Content Type Order to
    a. Summary Task
    b. Task
6. Go To Site Settings "Title, description and icon"
7. Change the Site Url
8. Go To List "Test" List Settings
9. The Content Type order now is
    a. Task
    b. Summary Task
10. Select "Change New button order and default content type"
11. Here, the Content Type order still is
    a. Summary Task
    b. Task
Is this a bug? Has anyone noticed this behaviour before?
Kind Regards,
Joachim

Hi Joachim,
You are not missing something or doing something wrong. i Hope :). This behavior is reproductible.
The granularity of change is better by Powershell. But by the interface is most user-friendly.
Maybe that's the reason of this behavior.

Add Total to Stacked Column Chart on the top and another important thing is the data are from SharePoint site

the same with the following description from another question:
"How can I display a total on top of each column on a stacked column chart (using
reporting services 2008)? If I use Data Labels I can display the
values for each part of the stack on a stacked column, but I want to be display the total.
For Example: If I have stacked column on chart with a value of 10 for the 1st stack, 20 for the 2nd stack,
and 20 again for the 3rd stack - I want to display 50 (the SUM total) as the data label on top of the entire column..."
and a solution for this would create a new column named SUM(category group), this can be done with data source from SQL server, but my data is from SharePoint site list. its query seems can't be changed which means I can't add a SUM column.
what should I do with this? Can anyone give me a hand?
thank you very much.

Hi sophiexu,
If we want to display a total for each column on the top of a stacked chart, we can use a matrix control to display the column total value to work around this issue.
The following thread about how to simulate chart legend is for your reference:

UNSYNC A CONTACT LIST FROM OUTLOOK WITHOUT DELETING FROM SHAREPOINT SITE

Hi,
I recently created a list of Contacts on a SharePoint site which I then connected to my personal Outlook so that I had the contacts synced there. How do I remove them/unsync them from my Outlook without deleting them off the SharePoint site?
Many Thanks.

Hi,
I assume you created a contact list in SharePoint 2013 and synchronized it to Outlook via Connect to Outlook per the link below:
https://hosting.intermedia.net/support/kb/default.asp?id=2429
If you would like to remove contacts from Outlook, you could right-click the folder in Outlook > Delete folder. This will remove it from Outlook and remain the contents in SharePoint.

Syncronize excel to Sharepoint list (i.e. a site calendar)

Hi
I need some help relating to syncing an excel sheet saved on sharepoint to a calendar on the same sharepoint site.
What I have is as follows:
1. A project site with an excel sheet save in a document app.
2. A Calendar on the project site.
That excel sheet has numerous formulas where there are two output columns, one with a date (i.e. date output) and one with a document name (Document output).
What i would like to happen is as follows: When the "date output" cell (which is normally blank) populates with a date i would like the accompanying "document output" cell to populate into the "date output" date on the site's
calendar. I have read a number of comments on syncing lists back to excel but none seem to pop out as answering my query. I have no idea if this is possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ray

Hi,
Let’s verify that whether the two output columns are document library columns or in the excel sheet table.
If they are document library columns, you can create a workflow with SharePoint Designer using 2010 platform, choose create the list item action, create
list items into a calendar list. Configure the document
library columns to match the columns in the calendar.
Here is a link about how to use Create List Item Action, you can use as a reference:
http://blogs.salmanghani.info/create-item-workflow-sharepoint-designer-2010/
If you have any question about this issue,
please feel free to reply me.
