Get Parent Document set information in Infopath Template

I have a Document Library in which Document set is activated and InfoPath content type is added to the document set.
When user try to create an InfoPath template inside the document set ,I need to populate the details of parent document set in the InfoPath form. How can I achieve this?

Hi,
For your requirement, you can take consideration of using REST API to retrieve the values of metadata columns as the demos in the link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn292552.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn292553.aspx
You can take this article below about
Get started with the SharePoint 2013 REST service for a quick start:

DBCA doesn't save character set information in the template!!

Hello,
I have found a problem using the DBCA when creating a template with a database character set of AL32UTF8.
When I create a database using the aforementioned template from the commandline (dbca -silent) it reverts the character set to WE8ISO8859P1.
If I try and alter the character set after creation using:
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET AL32UTF8;
it complains that tis cannot be done, so I must set this in the template.
Am I missing something obvious? Why is this information not being stored in the .dbc file?
Many thanks
Nic Hemley

Well, having patched the template xml file i then had to do:
dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName advisor.dbc -gdbName advisor.invocom -sid advisor -sysPassword j3r3m1aha -continueOnNonFatalErrors false
apparently the .dbc is required on the template name
However.....
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE
NLS_DATE_FORMAT
NLS_LANGUAGE
NLS_TERRITORY
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY
are not set in the template either...why is the template missing so much stuff that i thought i had configured?

How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library in to a CSV file using Powershell

Hi,
How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library into a CSV file using Powershell?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
AA.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to you want to get document set property value in a SharePoint library and then export into a CSV file using PowerShell.
I suggest you can get the document sets properties like the PowerShell Command below:
[system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
$siteurl="http://sp2013sps/sites/test"
$listname="Documents"
$mysite=new-object microsoft.sharepoint.spsite($siteurl)
$myweb=$mysite.openweb()
$list=$myweb.lists[$listname]
foreach($item in $list.items)
if($item.contenttype.name -eq "Document Set")
if($item.folder.itemcount -eq 0)
write-host $item.title
Then you can use Export-Csv PowerShell Command to export to a CSV file.

Document Sets and Content Types

Hi All,
I am having trouble in getting the "document sets" content types applied as expected when I try to create a site based off custom template.
Scenario:
We have 8 document sets stored in a document library. This library is part of a site which we have saved as a template.
E.g. of document sets is "Others", "Meetings" etc
Each of these document sets have one or more content types associated with it.
We are trying to create a site based off the saved site template using powershell.
E.g. $web = New-SPWeb http://myserver/sites/mysite/subsite
$web.ApplyWebTemplate("{GUID}#Name of Template")
When we open the document sets in this newly created site, the content types seem to be coming all together rather than being associated with the specific document set.
E.g. Clicking "New document" in the "others" document set would show up content types from "meeting" and all the remaining document sets present in that library.
Interestingly, when I go to "Document Set" settings, I only see the content type of "Others" Document Set.
Any idea why the "New document" dropdown for the document set is not behaving as expected?

Hi Abhi,
Based on your description, I did a test. In my testing, everything worked well.
The steps are:
Go to Site Actions->Site Settings->Site content types.
Create a new content type, and select parent content type from Document Set Content Types, and Parent Content Type: Document Set
Click ok
Under Settings, click Document Set settings
On the Allowed Content Type section, select some content types and add them
Click OK
Then repeat step2-6, and create another custom document set
Open your library, and allow management of content types in advanced settings
Add the two document sets into the library
Check each document set, and each one had different content types
Save the site as a template and include the content
Create a new site based on the site template using PowerShell(the command was same with yours)
After creating, check the document sets of the library in the new site, everything worked well.
Please check your process as the above steps.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Querying parent child sets

Hi
I have a cube with a dimension that has a value based hierarchy (id, description,parent)
Is it possible to query the cube to get parent child sets ?
I want the result set to look like
Member Value Parent
Parent_1 Measure_Value NULL
Child_1.1 Measure_Value Parent_1
Child_1.2 Measure_Value Parent_1
Parent_2 Measure_Value NULL
Child_2.1 Measure_Value Parent_2
Child_2.2 Measure_Value Parent_2
Also I am using a java front end,so I would like to do some pagination
So I would like say 1st 50 sets , 2nd 50 sets and so on

Cube Materialized Views are only created if you enable them and they are also only compatible with level based hierarchies. So MVs are not appropriate in your case.
If you are generating your own SQL then you could consider a hybrid approach by combining OLAP DML and SQL to get the explicit list of members. First execute the following OLAP DML.
LIMIT my_dim TO 'Parent_1' 'Parent_2'
LIMIT my_dim ADD DESCENDANTS USING my_dim_parentrel
SORT my_dim HIERARCHY my_dim_parentrelNow get the dimension members via either OLAP DML (e.g. REPORT command) or running SQL after the limit above. This gives you the explicit list of members that you can feed into a subsequent query.
SELECT dim_key, ...
FROM my_dim_view, cube_view
WHERE
<join condition>
AND dim_key IN (...list from report command...}
Make sure you set status back via ALLSTAT after getting the list or it will change results later.

Cannot access external data , Failed to get the document information.

Hi All,
In my dashboard there are live office connections which has optional prompts defined in SAP BI. I have bound the cells to these prompts in live office object properties.
There are no errors while refreshing the LO connections from excel sheet.
But when i run that dashboard and give BLANK value for that prompt then it throws the error :
Cannot access external data , Failed to get the document information. (LO 26315).
Reply highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
DJ

Hi Hardik,
I am building a similar solution as yours connecting webi reports to Bex queries and reading the webi data through live office into the dashboards. I am using almost similar versions as yours - BW 7.1 SP5, BO 4.1 SP4, Dashboards and Live Office SP4 versions. I am facing issues setting up the live office connections itself. I create the Live office connections within an excel and when I try to import this excel spreadsheet into my dashboard designer, it runs forever and crashes.
Could you please list out the steps you performed to get the Dashboard to preview live office data? Do you have OLAP connections for BW cubes and created WebI reports using these connections or You created a Universe on top of the Bex Queries?
It would be great if you could share the steps performed.
With respect to your issue, check if the report engine service is running. Do you have any error message details apart from this error?
Thanks.
Regards,
Rohini.

Why do users get "unable to set template properties" message?

Hi there,
I am trying to administer a new site that was created with DW and has a .dwt (Templates/ locatedat the site root). I'm creating "Publisher" role connection keys so users can edit their subsections of the site. Users should be able to modify template properties when they edit/create new pages.
While testing the keys, the users report that they can connect and edit pages. However, when they try to modify template properties on either a new or existing page, they get this message "Unable to set template properties" and are prevented.
I've tried redefining the site and starting all over, tried CS3 vs. CS4 to see if it was a compatibility issue, looked at forum after forum but can't find any answers. I am experienced with DW but new to Contribute administration so I don't know what else to try. Hoping that someone will have encountered this before and can suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance!
ps- Let me know if there's other info I can provide to help troubleshoot.

I did find this April 9, 2009 post from majtom2grndctrl that suggests the issue is how contribute treats https:// sites. My site is set up as majtom2grndctrl described and I am having the same problem.
"I've got a problem with not being able to edit Template Properties on our test sites we host on HTTPS servers. I've narrowed down the problem to Contribute CS4 ignoring the website root configuration when it looks for the Templates folder. For example, say you have a site hosted at the following address:
https://www.yourdomain.com/yourfolder/
Contribute is configured to know your site is in /yourfolder/, but for whatever reason, when you open or create a page, and Contribute reads the InstanceBegin template="/Templates/file.dwt" tag at the beginning of HTML documents, it looks for a Templates folder at the HTTP server root, not in /yourfolder/. This prevents Contribute from loading the template while editing a document, and any attempt to edit Template Properties will yield the infamous "Unable to set template properties" dialog box."

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

Failed to get the document information (LO 26315)

Hi,
I have to create an Xcelsius dashboard where I use a Live Office connection based on a WebI-report. The WebI is created on top of a BEx Query.
I need to pass 12 parameters to the WebI-report in orde to get the correct data.
Everything works fine in design-time, but when I want to preview the dashboard, I get the error: Failed to get the document information (LO 26315).
After investigating the issue, I've noticed that everything works fine when the parameters I have to pass, are only created in the WebI-report. But in my case it is a BEx variable that causes the error.
There is no possible way that I can recreate the BEx variable in the Universe (There are restricted key figures, calculated key figures and cell restrictions in the BEx query).
My question: is there a way to pass a parameter from an Xcelsius dashboard to a WebI-report via a Live Office connection to a BEx variable?

Fred,
on the SAP Notes Search page on sdn.sap.com, you can enter the note number in a text field at the right side of the page, just above the Search Option part.
Just enter Note 1357924 in that text field and press the blue icon with the arrows next to it. Thiw ill show the corresponding note.

I tried rebooting. It didn't change anything.

I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently. Can I get my document with all my information back?

I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently. Can I get my document with all my information back?

I suggest the easy stuff first:
1) quite Numbers and restart Numbers
2) reboot the computer
After that try opening the same document in another user space

Hi,
For your requirement, here is a solution like this:
1.Create 3 custom Document content types inherit the built-in Document content type;
2.Create 3 custom Document Set content types inherit the built-in Document Set content type;
3.In the “Document Set settings” page of each custom Document Set content type, remove the “Document” content type from the “Allowed Content Types”;
4.Now we can create a Document Library and add the 3 custom Document Set content types into it.
5.Remove the Document content from the “Content Types” in the “Document Library Settings” page.
Here is how it works like in my environment:
In "Document Library Settings" page:

You don't need to upgrade your software. But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3. It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC. More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.
Pop-Menu Magic3 by PVII (commercial DW extension)
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins. A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

Create Document Sets from template

Our current functionality: a document library is saved as a template. When a user creates a new document library they created it from that template. This ensures that all new document libraries consist of a pre-defined set of documents
as a starting point.
I'm looking into a Document Set solution. My question is: Is it possible to create a Document Set based on either an existing document set or an existing document library? Basically, we have an initial set of documents that we would like
to be included in all the new Document Sets created. If they cannot be added at the time of creation, what would a power user need to do so that after an empty document set is created they would add a pre-defined set of documents from some other location
in Sharepoint. Basically, what I'm asking, is there something for Document Sets that is equivalent to:
- exporting a document library as a template (with content)
- creating a new document library based on that template
except that I want to find out if something like this is possible for Document Sets
thanks,

What's a data set?
For document sets you can create a custom content type and specify the default documents, metadata and so on. You can then use the Content Hub tooling to push that down to various subscriber site collections.
