Hi TanPart,
I have changed the code which you have give in order to get the files from SharePoint 2010 Foundation  Document Library.But i am getting below error in powershell.
Property 'ListItemCollectionPosition' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable.
Could you tell me which is the issues in it?
See the code below.
$web = Get-SPWeb http://ntmoss2010:9090/Site
$list = $web.Lists["DocLib"]
$query = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$query.ViewAttributes = "Scope='Recursive'";
$query.RowLimit = 2000
$caml = '<Where><Contains><FieldRef Name="Title" /><Value Type="Text">Process Documents/Delivery</Value></Contains></Where>' +
        '<OrderBy Override="TRUE"><FieldRef Name="ID"/></OrderBy>'
$query.Query = $caml
do
    $listItems = $list.GetItems($query)
    $spQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition = $listItems.ListItemCollectionPosition
    foreach($item in $listItems)
        #Cast to SPListItem to avoid ambiguous overload error
        $spItem = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem]$item;
        Write-Host $spItem.Title       
while ($spQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition -ne $null)
Thanks & Regards

  • How to make a category required for all files created within a folder

    I've defined a category. It has attributes which have been flagged as required.
    When I view the properies of a particular workspace (library), the category is shown as available to the workspace. However, the category is not shown as required. And the "required" checkbox is not clickable.
    So .. how, from the OCS DHTML applet, do I make a particular category a required category for all files in a folder?

    Perhaps the Category Attribute is not marked as "configurable" when it was created. You can check this by "switching into Admin Mode" and drilling down the Categories using "Manage Categories" link. Check if the category attribute is marked as configurable or not.

    I have Library having metadata column when a document is uploaded i need update another list with metadata column of

    but i did not see the the List column getting updated.But when i use the code to update a column of single line of text
    it works fine.But when i do it for multi select metadata column in debug mode i could see its giving null value even though Library had column value.
    Any pointers on how to update Multiselect metadata column programatically on itemeadding event in library to a list will
    be helpful.

    You need to use the TaxonomyFieldValueCollection class. The following code is from SP2010 but should still apply in SP2013. It is an example of updating multivalued taxonomy fields.
    public static void SetListItemMultiMetaDataColumn(Int32 id)
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://basesmc2008"))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    TermSet termSet = null;
    TaxonomySession txs = new TaxonomySession(site);
    SPList list = web.Lists["Shared Documents"] as SPList;
    SPListItem item = list.GetItemById(id);
    TaxonomyField field = item.Fields["multimanage"] as TaxonomyField;
    if (field != null)
    termSet = txs.DefaultSiteCollectionTermStore.GetTermSet(field.TermSetId);
    Term term = termSet.GetTerms("sts", false).FirstOrDefault();
    if (field.AllowMultipleValues)
    TaxonomyFieldValueCollection currentCollection = item[field.Id] as TaxonomyFieldValueCollection;
    TaxonomyFieldValue tfv = new TaxonomyFieldValue(field);
    tfv.TermGuid = term.Id.ToString();
    tfv.Label = term.GetPath();
    tfv.WssId = TaxonomyField.GetWssIdsOfTerm(site, txs.DefaultSiteCollectionTermStore.Id, termSet.Id, term.Id, false, 1).First();
    currentCollection.Add(tfv);
    field.SetFieldValue(item, currentCollection);
    item.Update();

  • Set Empty Managed Metadata Column - Working in 2010 and not in 2013

    I have seen posts similar to mine below but am still not finding a solution. I understand that setting an already populated managed metadata column can be problematic using SPD. However, my column is empty, and what works in 2010 is not working in 2013.
    Issue: In SharePoint 2010 On-premises, I am able to set an empty Managed Metadata column on a file in a document library via SPD workflow using the following format:
    ID;#Term|IdForTerm
    In SharePoint 2013 Online, I am attempting to create a SPD workflow to do the exact same thing (ID;#Term|IdForTerm) and am experiencing the following results depending upon the type of workflow I try:
    - SP 2010 Workflow - The workflow status result is Completed, but the managed metadata column remains empty.
    - SP 2013 Workflow - The workflow internal status becomes Started and effectively remains this way until I end the workflow.
    Any thoughts on what needs to change for 2013 when doing this? 
    Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.
    Alan

    Hi,
    I try to reproduce the issue in my SharePoint Online environment, however, everything works well.
    I create term set as below:
    Then start the workflow and the value in the browser view. The result is as below:
    I recommend to create another managed metadata column to check whether it works.
    Or you can create another library to check whether it works.

    list.Update();
    it appears you're missing the point where you assign that taxonomyFieldValue to the item's taxonomy field in question.

  • Update Managed Metadata field in SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow for O365

    Hi Guys,
    I need to update the managed metadata field in SharePoint Custom List using Workflow but its not working. I have also tried to use the HTTP WebService POST Operation but no luck.
    Am doing this for a SharePoint Online (O365) Site.
    Has anyone worked on something similar and was able to get it running ?
    I saw a post to create a custom Workflow Activity but I don't have a choice to go with the custom code option.
    http://patrickboom.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/workflow-activity-set-managed-metadata-column/
    I was able to achieve this by creating a SP 2010 based Workflow for O365. Which means that it worked well with SP 2010.
    Is there a different way to do it in 2013 ? I tried almost all options apart from creating custom Activity but nothing worked out. 
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Nutan
    Nutan Sharma

    Hi Nutan,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update Managed Metadata field with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint Online.
    As far as I know, there is not an OOB action to achieve your requirement with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint 2013. Customizing a workflow action is a better option to achieve it.  Why didn’t you customize a workflow action as Patrick’s blog?
    In addition, please take a look at the article about Nintex workflow, check whether it is useful for you:
    http://habaneroconsulting.com/insights/setting-managed-metadata-fields-in-a-nintex-workflow#.UykBSf6KDHo
    As this issue is about SharePoint Online, I suggest you create a new thread on SharePoint Online forum:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicessharepoint . More experts will assist you.
    I hope this helps.

  • SharePoint Designer - Data Source Details doesn't show all Managed Metadata Columns

    Hello all,
    I've an issue with SharePoint Designer in combination with managed metadata columns.
    I use content type which uses it total 7 managed meta data (site) columns and additional 20 columns for data.
    I use a dataview and I'm aligning the XSLT for the display of the data.
    In the Data Source Details all other columns will be displayed but from the managed metadata columns 3 columns are missing, they are not shown. So it seems impossible to me to access the data in the XSLT.
    During my investigations i've found out that the columns will be displayed if I change the DataSourceMode="List" to DataSourceMode="ListItems". Nevertheless, the missing columns are still empty even they should contain data.
    Do you have any idea what causes the issue?
    It seems like there is a restriction in SharePoint Designer 2010 and/or SharePoint 2010 with regards to the count for the use of managed metadata columns.
    Would appreciate any help and idea.
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    Up to now every thing is fine.
    But I need to change  Empl_Attendence Column As absent or Present . I used  SelectOneChoice. Default there will be PRESENT value in back end.So after Selecting  SlectOneChoice the value (Absent) should Automatically update in DB for that row.
    Requirement:
    So How to write logic for the SYNC button to update the Empl_ Attendence for all the rows at a time.

  • SP Online - Managed Metadata column Default Value for folders (using CSOM)

    Hello,
    I am working on setting default values (metadata columns)  for different folders on my document library. As so far, I've found solution about how to set default values on whole library and many solutions which works for folders, but not for sharepoint
    online (using metadataDefaults object).
    The only working solution for folders in SPO I've found is editing file library/Forms/client_LocationBasedDefaults and add some data here.
    My question is: is there any easier method to set default values for each folder in document library without manually editing this file? 

    I second that, I have a client looking to do the same thing but I don't see a way to automate this.

  • How to create a managed metadata column that allows terms from several term sets or groups ?

    My requirement is to create a a Managed Metadata column that allows terms that come from several term sets (or possibly from one group containing several term sets).
    Would it be possible ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I don't know if this is possible, however the design of your managed metadata term sets should be that you don't have a type of value coming from two different sets. For example, departments in your organization, offices of your company. Let me know if you
    get a solution. It would be helpful to others.

  • No values for refiners for managed properties based managed metadata columns in SharePoint 2013 on premise

    On a SharePoint Server 2013 setup (on premise) we want to use a number of managed metadata columns in the search as refiner. The managed metadata column is called "Document Language" and so it automatically creates a managed property called owstaxidDocumentx002Language
    which I can use to do a keyword query by typing owstaxiDocumentx0020Language:"NL" in the search box and it returns results. I also marked this managed property as refineable (in the service search application) and it appears in the
    seach refiners selection box but it states that there are no values for this refiner.
    So I decided to create a new managed search property "DocumentLanguage" and maps this to "ows_Document_x0020_Language" - I marked it as queryable, searchable, refineable, retrievable and sortable but this managed search property
    is not being filled up.
    I already executed a number of full crawls but this does not seem to work. Anyone know what to do next?
    Rgds,
    Joris [http://jopx.blogspot.com]

    It happened with me many times that the automatically generated managed property is not properly mapped to the crawled property and to get the correct crawled property  get the document item 
    $web=Get-SPWeb http://webUrl
    $list=$web.Lists["documentLibrary"]
    $list.Items[0].Xml>>item.xml
    View the item.xml and check if the ows_Document_x0020_Language contains data
