Get information from multiple lists

Hi,
Environment: - SharePoint 2013
Question :- My client needs a get information from multiple list from the same site to be displayed on the page,
they would need a dropdown list with the user names , and once a user is selected all the tasks and calendar entries of the user must be filtered and displayed.
Please suggest how this can be achieved.
Satyam.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to get information from multiple lists once a user was selected.
There is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.
As a workaround, I recommend to create a list to store the user names. Then you can create relationships between lists using the browser UI. Once you select the user name in the parent list, the associated items will be displayed in the child lists.
Here are two great articles for you to take a look at:

Fastest way to get data from Multiple lists across multiple site collections

HI
I need to get data from multiple lists which spread across 20 site collections and need to show it as list view.
I have searched on internet about this and got some info like options would be to use search core APIs or BCS . I can't use search because I want real time data. Not sure of any other ways.
if anybody can provide ideas it would be help.

Might LINQ be an option for you? Using
LINQPad and the
SharePoint Connector, you should be able to write a query that'll retrieve this data, from which you can tabulate it. I'm not sure how you'd be able to automate this any further so that it's then imported in as list.
For something more specific, I used a third party tool called the
Lightning Tools Lightning Conductor, which is essence a powerful content roll-up tool. In one of my solutions, I created a calculated column that gave an order / ranking on each item, so that when lists were combined, they'd still have some form of
order. The web part is also fairly customisable and has always proven a useful tool.
Hope that helps.

Question for get information from https site with socket.

I had tried to send a HTTP request with socket like :
POST http://xxx.xxx..xxx/bbs/bbsadd.php?blockid=119&title=Hello&content=Hello&clid=101&Ok=OK&s_no=0&mood=1 HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"
Just like this way , I could get some information or submit any message to http site like that .
But that was not success to get some information for visited https ( like Yahoo ) use the same way .
I had read some document about the https protocl I knew that had to need SSL for validate .
But what should I do as a socket program ?
package sailing;
import java.net.*;
import javax.net.ssl.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ReceiveMail
     //private Socket toYahoo;
     private SSLSocket toYahoo;
     private SSLSocketFactory factory;
     private BufferedReader read;
     private DataOutputStream write;
     private String login;
     public ReceiveMail(String userName,String userPassword)
          try
                    //this.toYahoo=new Socket("202.43.216.165",80);
                    this.factory=(SSLSocketFactory)SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
                    this.toYahoo=(SSLSocket)this.factory.createSocket("202.43.216.165",443);
                    //this.login="POST https://edit.bjs.yahoo.com/config/login?.src=ym&login="+userName+"&passwd="+userPassword+" HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n";
                    this.login="POST https://edit.bjs.yahoo.com/config/login?.src=ym&login="+userName+"&passwd="+userPassword+" HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n";
                    byte[] makeBytes=this.login.getBytes();
                    this.write=new DataOutputStream(this.toYahoo.getOutputStream());
                    this.write.write(makeBytes,0,makeBytes.length);
                    this.write.flush();
                    this.read=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(this.toYahoo.getInputStream()));
                    String readRes="";
                    String webFileCode="";
                    while((readRes=this.read.readLine())!=null)
                         webFileCode+=readRes;
                    System.out.println(webFileCode);
          catch(IOException e)
               System.out.println(e);
     public static void main(String args[])
          new ReceiveMail("sailing","sailing");
}================================
If this program perform successful , I think it will print code that login Yahoo Mail success .
But I just could get an error code .................

How to get data from subsites list of SharePoint 2010 in ssrs

Hi,
Can someone help me on this issue.
I want to create a report using ssrs, I have some of the data in SQL and some of the data in sharepoint list.
First I need to go to SQL and get the data from the table which contains URL for the subsite in sharepoint.
after that I need to go to all the subsites and go to perticulat list in the subsites and get data from that list.
for example, their is a top level site "abc"
it contains sub site "123", "456","567", etc.. All this sub sites contain a list by name "Sample List", Now I need to go to that sub site list(Sample List) and get list-item column say "created By" which
is created on particular date.
in my report, I need to print the sub site "url/Title" which comes from SQL database and list-item column "Created By" of that sub site list "Sample List".
I tried using subreport inside a report by using "Microsoft SharePoint List" as a datasource, but when it comes to real time we don't know how many subsites will be created, so we can't create a datasource for each subsite site.
I guess we need to be using XML as a datasource, but how can we go to particular subsite in query while using XML, since all subsites have list with the same name ?
I appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Kishore

Hi Kishore,
SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) supports expression-based connection strings. This will help us to achieve the goal you mentioned in this case:
Create a new report
Create a Data Source in the report with the connection string like this:
http://server/_vti_bin/lists.asmx (We use static connection string instead of expression-based connection string now, as it is not supported to get fields based on expression-based connection string in design time. We will change it to be expression-based
connection string later)
Create the data set(as you have done using XML query language). Please use list name instead of GUID in the listName parameter.
Design the report(e.g. Add controls to the report)
Now, let's change the connection string to be expression-based. First, please add a parameter to the report, move this parameter to top. This parameter is used to store the sub site name.
Open the Data Source editor, set the connection string to be: ="http://server/" & Parameters!parameterCreatedInStep5.value & "_vti_bin/lists.asmx"
In the main report, pass the sub site name to the report we created above via the parameter created in step5
That is all.
Anyway, this is actually a SQL Server Reporting Service(SSRS) question. You can get better support on this question from:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sqlreportingservices/threads
For more information about Expression-Based connection string, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156450.aspx#Expressions
If there is anything unclear, please feel free to ask.

Hi,
For this requirement, you will need to retrieve all the lists objects you want firstly, then execute the requests one by one to get the value of the Title column using CAML or

Using drag/drop to build data grid rows from multiple lists ?

Hi,
I have implemented some simple drag and drop between grids and lists, including images.
What I need to do now is quite a bit more complex:
Create rows in a data grid by dragging and dropping from multiple lists. That is, for a given
row, column 1 receives data from list A and rows in column 2 - 5 receive data from List B
I haven't found any examples that do this and my initial hacks haven't been successful.
If you have any suggestions, they would be most appreciated !!!
Thanks !

This does the trick...
For my destination grid
protected function dg_dragDropHandler(e:DragEvent):void
// Dynamically add columns to the grid by dragging them from the new column list
                if (e.dragInitiator["id"] == "lNewColumn")
                    e.preventDefault();    // handle this manually
                    var Id:Number;
                    var Name:String;
                    var numCols:int = e.dragInitiator["selectedItems"]["length"] as int;
                    for (var i:int=0; i < numCols; i++)
                        Id = e.dragInitiator["selectedItems"][i]["id"];
                        Name = e.dragInitiator["selectedItems"][i]["Name"];
                        addGridColumn(Id, Name);
private function addGridColumn( Id:Number, Name:String ):void
                var dgc:DataGridColumn;
                var cols:Array = dg.columns;
            // not a duplicate column
                    dgc = new DataGridColumn(Name);
                    dgc.width=150;
                    dgc.headerWordWrap = true;
                    dgc.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(MyLovelyItemRenderer);    // unlike mxml, must explicitly cast
                    dgc.width=156;
                    dgc.headerText = Name + "\n Message";
                    dgc.dataField="messageId_" + Id.toString();    // allows split on '_' later to get Id
                    dgc.setStyle("textAlign","center");
                    cols.push(dgc);
                    dg.columns = cols;

Updated to firefox 4.0. since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website.

Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
Thank You,
Dennis

How to get information from Oracle's views

Hi,
I need to get information from Oracle's views about:
* in which table's column is set index
* what type of index is on this column
* name of a trigger which exist on a table
* type of trigger (before, after etc)
* trigger status (enable, disable)
Thanks for help.

Hi..
One of the best way to know which views to use is doing select * from dict where table_name like 'xxx';
For example in your case you needed to know about the indexes and triggers so
SQL> select * from dictionary where table_name like 'DBA_IND%';
TABLE_NAME                     COMMENTS
DBA_INDEXES                    Description for all indexes in the database
*DBA_IND_COLUMNS                COLUMNs comprising INDEXes on all TABLEs and CLUSTERs*
DBA_IND_EXPRESSIONS            FUNCTIONAL INDEX EXPRESSIONs on all TABLES and CLUSTERS
DBA_INDEXTYPES                 All indextypes
DBA_INDEXTYPE_COMMENTS         Comments for user-defined indextypes
DBA_INDEXTYPE_ARRAYTYPES       All array types specified by the indextype
DBA_INDEXTYPE_OPERATORS        All indextype operators
DBA_IND_PARTITIONS
DBA_IND_SUBPARTITIONS
DBA_IND_STATISTICS             Optimizer statistics for all indexes in the database
10 rows selected.
SQL> select * from dictionary where table_name like 'DBA_TRI%';
TABLE_NAME                     COMMENTS
DBA_TRIGGERS                   All triggers in the database
DBA_TRIGGER_COLS               Column usage in all triggers
Reading the comments you can know which view to use, then describe the view and use what you need

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names?

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"
Message was edited by: marcr56

I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
Assuming that you are using
Premiere Elements 12
Add Media
"DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
Video Importer
Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Thank you.

Get Items from limited list by providing username and password - C#

I'm using the code at the following link in order to get items from SharePoint list,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.client.list.getitems.aspx
I have a SharePoint list that limited to certain users.
How can I provide by this code (or else) a username and password and log in as a different user who has access to this SharePoint list and get its items?
Thanks!

Sorry, previous post didn't see you were using client object model.
Service.Credentials = (create new credentials passing username and password)
ICredentials credentials = new NetworkCredential("Joe",SecurelyStoredPassword,"mydomain");
math.Credentials = credentials
Thanks!
Actually, my full question already posted here:
http: //sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/84917/c-why-impersonation-is-expired-while-clientcontext-executequery-is-performe
but I was unable to post it here as a new user (images, links, lenght ...) even the link above I was need to insert spaces after "http:" to be able to post it.
Anyway, I don't know "client object model." am I using it?
You mentioned "Service.Credentials", What do you mean "Service"?

When getting information from SLD, should SMSY create a system for EP?

I've connected my EP NW2004s system ES3 to the SLD. I connected Solution Manager 4.0 to SLD so that SMSY can get information from the SLD. When I run the import, I see:
1. ES3's server sapeps03 created under SMSY Landscape Component ->Server.
2. ES3 's database ES3 created under SMSY Landscape Component-> Database.
3. ES3 Java component entry created under SMSY Landscape Component->System Components->Java System.
BUT, I don't see an ES3 entry under SMSY Landscape Component->Systems->SAP Netweaver. Shouldn't there be? Do I have to create this manually?
The ECC 5.0 system RS3 got created under SMSY Landscape Component->Systems->SAP ECC. Why not the EP system?
Thanks.
Regards,
Mel Calucin

Hello Mel,
the SMSY transaction had a lot of issues resolving the appropriate Java product with older versions of Solution Manager. For instance, you can take a look at the SAP Note 1392992.
Newer versions of Solution Manager (currently on SP24) resolve most of the issues. The portal is certainly detected successfully.
My recommendation would be having Solution Manager updated always with the latest Support Package stack available.
All the best,
Andreu

IS Possible to get information from GetUserProfileByName inside of repeat section

IS Possible to get the values from GetUserProfileByName inside of repeat section? by Codeless
and then with this result used to filter DDL
Or GetUserProfileByName is only useful when it is used for FORM LOAD
CRISTINA&amp MICROSOFT Forum

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use the GetUserProfileByName service in InfoPath form.
We can get information from GetUserProfileByName inside of repeating section, however you need to give the name of user so that the service can be used to get the details of the user.
Please refer to the link below:
http://thinketg.com/using-infopath-and-the-web-service-getuserprofilebyname/
You can create rules to query for data using GetUserProfileByName, and it is not only useful for form load.
