From File Server to SharePoint

Hi,
I would like to move all the files in several folders on a fileserver and put them on sharepoint.
The files in the fileserver are organized in several folders and subfolders (quite deep) and the security is controled via user Group membership (AD Groups).
What guidelines should I follow to do this "migration" and to have eficient (and security trimmed) search functionalities?
Many thanks,
DD

Why?
A file server and SharePoint are very different products and answering the question about why will have a bearing on not only what you move, but how you end up planning to move it and what the destination structure might look like and decisions around both
information architecture and information management. Answering questions on Disposition or Retention of files in the file server for example might lead you to consider Records management features of SharePoint, routing rules and audit policies.
If all you want to do is dump files into SharePoint then you can just open a library in Explorer view and dump the files or do it via powershell:

Hi
You need to create a RFC Destination with the details what you have, then you can create a RFC Fucntion module to read the data, according to the destination system, you have to code that, once you
pick the data from the destination system, later you need to convert it to SAP Format.
To trace your fm status, there are function module availabe in sap, search with http, you can find.

Embed a video on file server in SharePoint

I have video file on file server, they are very large. I cannot upload those videos in SharePoint Library. Is it possible to embed videos on file server in SharePoint Media Web Part? If yes how can I do it?

That particular web part takes a number of formats and then displays them using Silverlight. I can't recall if it modifies the actual file or clones iot and then modifies that. The advantge to this is a lower footprint for SharePoint to deal
with. (Accepted formats for the web part are here).
What formats and file size are you working with too? You might have a few more options, such as: -
Re-encoding to a different format
Using a Content Editor Web Part and some HTML

Display image in Report from File Server

Hi
As the logo of the company is changing every 3 - 4 months, i need a solution for this..
my approach is to replace the new logo in file server
call the logo in the oracle reports... using oracle reports 6i...
but i am not able to do so ( which objects to be used like formula column, link file, ole) ... any help from your side will be good.
Regards
Yram

You may put the logo into db as a blob column and retrieve it onto report. One update in db would update all calling reports.

CS5 opening file from file server through explorer gets file not found error

Hi There,
Has anyone come across an issue with CS5 where they open an ai file through Windows Explorer and gets an error file not found after CS5 has started? Opening through CS5's file > open option does not produce the same error and seems to only error when opening by double clicking on the ai file. Is this a possible issue with shellex open handler registry key?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Opening files directly from the server can produce errors and damage files. It is generally not advised.

Can't open files directly from file server (MAVERICKS)

since updating to Mavericks earlier today i have had the below problem
I use a file server at work to access all my work files. i have no problem accessing the servers but when i try and when I double click to open a file (excel, word, pdf, etc) it says "the application cant be found"
when Ihave the application open and i open the same file from within the application (file > open) it works fine. I just cannot open files directly from the file server by double clicking.
in previous versions there have been no problems with this,
any help would be great,

Same issue here; I hadn't related it to upgrading to the latest OS 10.9.2. I've shutdown and restared multiple times. I've also rebuilt permissions on my hard drive as I thought it was the Finder but files on my local HD open file. Off the server, I cannot double-click or even drag to the dock. Files open fine if I open the app first then browse to find the file.

Approx 700 Files being deleted from file server (server 2003) without permission

Hello,
We had a problem with files being deleted from our file server.
We lost approx. 700 files across approx. 40 directories from the file date codes between Nov. 30 2014 and Dec 3, 2014. All files before this date were not touch.
Our Dec. 1 backup had all of the files. Our Dec. 5 backup only have files before Sept. 1 2014 and after Dec. 3, 2014.
My question is how can this happen without going to each directory and sorted my date cade and delecting files from this date range.
Does anyone have any other ideals on how this could of happen?
Thank You
Bert

Hi,
I suggest you enable file system auditing to find out the cause of this issue.

Item Master Attachment from File Server

Hi All,
I have a requirement if I want to attach file stored onto FILE SERVER, how to attach it with Inventory Item.
Let say if file is stored onto the following location onto PC name "ABC", Directory Name "DIRTEST" and file name is "Test.pdf"
\\ABC\DirTest\Test.pdf
then how to accomplish this in Oracle Applications.
Thanks

Even if you load from backend using an API, data will get stored in fnd_lobs.
The following post has a great example and detailed code for loading attachments using API.

Need to export data from reporting server to SharePoint List

I have built a rudimentary dashboard using Excel and PowerPivot Gallery on SharePoint 2010. I successfully exported the first dataset to a SharePoint List that I can access from my dashhboard, making it fairly portable. (Whoop!) I've also found
that I can create a bunch of new lists. But I have not figured out how to update these lists daily.
The most critical is an existing Odata connection:
DataFeed_2_teams-company-com IMData. I am trying to update that list from the new report (.xls format). After saving it as .xlsx then closing and reopening, Odata and the existing connection are now enabled. But when I try to connect,
Excel tells me, "We can't use the data from this feed. Make sure the external data feed server is available and that your connection information is correct." The connection is available and I'm using the "authenticated user's account".
I really don't mind if the data is deleted every day.
Any ideas?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Another thing I've tried is exporting the data through the Table menu. But since the list already exists, I can't do anything with it.
Adios, Clay Harryman

Hi,
Do you have your Odata connection stored in a sharepoint list zo you can reference to that point?

Migrate from File Server Shared Drives to Document Libraries, while Keeping Modified and Created Date

I am doing some file migration for a client, using SharePoint 2013 on prem.
Whether copying files from a local or network drive, to a Document Library, or from Document Library to other Document Library, I want the option of
preserving file dates and created/modified by fields.
I am developing a pretty cool tool in Excel to analyze files and directory names for restricted characters, large file sizes, and long path names...and then
it generates copy commands or rename commands as desired. I will share this with you if you like. This little glitch is the last remaining barrier.
Can we copy and retain Modified/Created Data and time? Can I do this using xcopy or robocopy or do I need to use powershell, ShareGate, or some other tool?
I have tried Windows Explorer drag-n-drop, "robocopy /COPY:DAT" and "xcopy /k"
and these seem to work great in th CMD window until you display the resulting files in SharePoint...and the modified date shows as now and modified by
shows as me.
Any suggestions you can provide are most welcome.

Hi Gerry,
try content matrix it gives you free 25 GB and it keeps metadata

Rendering images dynamically from file server path

Hi,
We are having JDeveloper 11.1.2.4
We have following requirement - Image files are located on server. File locations (path and name) are stored in database table.
We need to dynamically access file locations from database table, access file from server and render it in ADF image component.
Is it possible? If yes, we would really appreciate some pointers/help on how to achieve it.
Please note that we are able to render images dynamically when they are stored in database BLOB column. We can do that using a ImageServlet class. In doGet() method, we are fetching the database BLOB column based on current row id.
Thanks,
Vivek

Here is the scriplet I tried. But it is not redering the image and definitely I am missing something here. Please suggest changes or any direction.
<%
File f = image.getThumbnailFile(); //image file from a bean
ByteArrayOutputStream byteOutput = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(f);
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
int read;
try{
          while ( (read = inputStream.read(bytes)) > -1 )
                  byteOutput.write(bytes, 0, read);
          //byte[] ba = byteOutput.toByteArray();
          ByteArrayInputStream byteInput = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteOutput.toByteArray());
          response.setContentType("image/gif");
          while ( (read = byteInput.read()) > -1 )
               response.getOutputStream().write(read);
          response.getOutputStream().flush();
catch(Exception e){}

Excel file from FTP Server UNIX

Hi All,
I am trying to fetch data from file server which is in EXCEL(.XLS) format.
Able to connect FTP using FTP_CONNECT,using FTP_COMMAND(get filename).
Now the problem is i am able to read text file but not EXCEL file.
How to capture the excel file entries,help me regarding this?
Sachin.

Sachin, this question is asked several times each week in the forum. There are solutions, in short: DOI or OLE for dialog, external softwares for other cases. As said by breakpoint, you'll be able to process these files more easily and quickly, if they are saved under other (text) formats: txt, csv, xml, xslx.
Please search and read these posts and revert back if any question.
