Is it possible to link existing Sharepoint 2010 lists to SQL server databases?
I created a SQL server database and added a table to it. Then I used Sharepoint Designer 2010 to create an external
Content Type using this table. Now I can alter the according Sharepoint list which then again performs CRUD operations on the said database table.
Now I want to do the same with a existing list which already contains data. In other words, I want to synchronize already filled lists to a table in my
SQL Server database. As I am new to Sharepoint this is the only solution I can think of.
I would create a table in my database which contains the very same columns as my already existing Sharepoint list does. Then I would proceed as described above. Namely I would use
Sharepoint Designer to create an External Content Type. This would generate a new list which would be connected to my database table. Now I would copy the complete data from the
original list to the newly created and synchronized list. This way the data should also be synchronized with the database table now. Now I would simply delete the
old list.
I somehow have the feeling this is not a clean solution for my task. Is there any easier or cleaner way to do this? Is this even possible?
It's clean enough, although if I remember correctly you can't bulk upload the data to an external list. If bulk upload isn't available, writing a little script that syncs the data is probably the easiest way to do it, and then delete the old list.

SharePoint 2010 list to SQL 2008 table
I would like export the data from SharePoint 2010 list to SQL 2008 table.
At work we don't have SQL integration Services.
What is the best way to export the data without copying and paste into the table?
Any help will be appreciated.

You use GetDataTable method to get the datatable from SPListItemCollection.

Web Database for existing Sharepoint 2010 List
I would like to create an Access Web Database based on a list that already exists in my SharePoint site. Is this possible?
Hi Adam,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to create an Access database using an existing SharePoint list.
In SharePoint lists, there is a button called "Open with Access". You can synchronize the data in a SharePoint list with Access 2010 by using the Open with Access command in the list ribbon. This command creates an Access table linked to the SharePoint
list, and a supplementary UserInfo table that contains additional information, such as user names, accounts, and e-mail addresses.
You can also link a table to an existing SharePoint List by using the SharePoint List command in the Import & Link group on the External Data tab.
More information about Access and SharePoint, you can refer to the link:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Synchronize-a-SharePoint-2010-list-with-Access-2010-975BFB97-C799-4FCE-B7CC-3DB3B397F116

Good Evening,
So I have 3 Servers in all, with the following configurations:
Server1: DPM2010.contoso.com (Domain A)
Server2: Sharepoint2010WFE.contoso.com (Domain A)
Server3: Sharepoint2010DB.contoso.net (Domain B)
I have prepared sharepoint2010wfe.contoso.com appropriatly by installing the DPM Agent, running configuresharepoint.exe -enablesharepointprotection & ConfigureSharepoint.exe enableSPSearchProtection.
I have prepared Sharepoint2010db.contoso.net by installing the DPM agent to the server using the manual installation method and creating local user credentials and connecting to the agent through install > attach agent.
In DPM all of agents are healthy so I go over to create the protection profile and I recieve the following error: DPM cannot protect your windows sharepoint services farm until you install agents on the following server: Sharepoint2010db.contoso.com (ID:
956)
I have already attempted creating an alias on the WFE server for Sharepoint2010db.contoso.com and have it point to Sharepoint2010DB.contoso.net but this did not resolve my issue at all.
Also please keep in mind that pinging Sharepoint2010db.contoso.com is invalid as there is not a valid DNS entry of any kind, Im not even sure where this name is coming from other than some sort of a mashup. Also I am unable to domain join the SQL server
to contoso.com because of licensing costs.
A resolution to this issue woudl be greatly appreciated.Hi Deepan,
I run into exactly the same problem with SharePoint 2013 and DPM 2012SP1. SharePoint servers run in domain a, sql 2012 in domain b. We use a SQL alias SharePoint_PROD that is configured with the fqdn of the sql server (sql20.b.com), but DPM resolves it to
sql20.a.com when I try to configure SharePoint protection. Is there any solution yet?

How to populate a sharepoint 2010 from the active directory.
I want a list of all the computers in the active directory,
another one with all users.
I want also to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the sharepoint user profiles.
Thanks
szWhile
the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources. Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
information that are already in the system? Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list.
Here’s our plan:
Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
Let’s get going! Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer. I also want to give credit Laura
Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step. I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
So obviously we need a contacts list. If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010. Let’s add our elements to the form.
Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon. This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above. With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon.
Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
We should end up with something like this:
Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL. Click Next.
Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName. Click Next.
Click Next on the next two screens.
On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
(Secondary) option. Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName. Click ok.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW. At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form). Expand this, then pc:Person,
and highlightAccountId. Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user. So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for. We take the AccountID field from the people
picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection.
Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
We’re closing in on our goal. Let’s see our progress. We should see something like this:
Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form. The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate. We need to add an action step for
each field. I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields. Let’s update the Job Title field.
Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Highlight the field Job Title.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option. Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field. Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
Data button, then Add.
For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group. The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
under PropertyData. Click Ok.
In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text. Then type the text Title.
Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane. The last previous screen will look like this.
We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory. You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc. For the other fields, the
steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change. Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
We’re all done, good work! You can preview the form and try it now. Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form. Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library. Click File –> Quick
Publish. Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
Now open your form in SharePoint. From the contact list, click Add new item. Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen! -

Update item in SharePoint 2010 list when a entry made in SQL server
Hi there,
I have four lists on a SharePoint 2010 site. There is a column - Equipment Name - in each of the lists. I want only this column to be updated in all the lists, when a new entry is made in SQL server.
I referred
http://oszakiewski.net/eric/connecting-a-sharepoint-2010-list-to-external-database-table and found it good, however I want to only update one column and not to perform CRUD. Also, can it be possible to achieve this without referring to Central Administration
settings?
ThanksHi,
Let’s verify the following:
Whether your four lists are external list with SQL Server data source. If not, you can’t sync the list with SQL Server.
External list items are sync from data source, they keep sync all the time.
Whether you aren’t want to perform CRUD in the list. You can select some of them instead of using all of them.
You can create all of the column from the four lists in your SQL Server database table, and then create four external lists with that table as data source.
Modify view-> in each external list check the columns which you want display in every list. Then you can update the “Equipment” column in each external list.

How to copy Excel sheet data to SharePoint 2010 List?
Hi,
I need to export excel data to SharePoint 2010 list. I have created 22 columns in list which are of following Column types:
Single line of text,
Multiple line of text,
Choice
Number,
Date,
Person or Group.
Now i need to export the excel data to SharePoint list.
When iam trying to copy data from excel to List , it is showing as "The selected cells are read only".
can someone guide on this to export spread sheet data to SharePoint list without importing Spreadsheet.
Thanks in advance.
BadriI've updated the example of using PowerShell to include a Person field (user field) and a choice field.
The CSV file has the following columns:
TRIP_NO
VESSEL_NAME
FLAG
AGENT_NAME
CURRENT_LOCATION
RPT_DATE
EMPLOYEE
EMPLOYEE_TYPE
#Get the CSV file and connect to the SharePoint list
$vessellist = import-csv -Path C:\Temp\VesselInPortReport.csv
$l = (Get-Spweb "http://devmy101").GetList("http://devmy101/Lists/smarInPort")
#Get the lists EmployeeType field (choice)
$employeeType = $l.Fields["EmployeeType"] -as [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldChoice]
#Loop through the items and add them to the list
$r = 1;
foreach($item in $vessellist)
$ni = $l.items.Add();
#Add the Title, using the rows VESSEL_NAME column
$ni["Title"] = $item.VESSEL_NAME;
#Add the "Date Recorded" field, using the csv rows "RPT_DATE" column
[DateTime]$rd = New-Object System.DateTime;
if([DateTime]::TryParse($item.RPT_DATE, [ref]$rd)){
$ni["Date Recorded"] = $rd;
#Add the csv rows "TRIP_NO" column to the new list items "Trip Id" field (SPFieldNumber)
[Int64]$tn = New-Object System.Int64;
if([Int64]::TryParse($item.TRIP_NO, [ref] $tn)){
$ni["Trip Id"] = $tn;
#Add some other text properties
$ni["Flag"] = $item.FLAG;
$ni["Agent Name"] = $item.AGENT_NAME;
$ni["Current Location"] = $item.CURRENT_LOCATION;
#Add user information
$ni["employee"] = $w.EnsureUser($item.EMPLOYEE); #In this case, the $item.EMPLOYEE value from the spreadsheet is a persons name. Eg. "Matthew Yarlett"
$employeeType.ParseAndSetValue($ni,$item.EMPLOYEE_TYPE); #In this case, the $item.EMPLOYEE_TYPE value from the spreadsheet is valid choice present in the EmployeeType list field. Eg. "Manager"
#Update the item
$ni.Update()
Write-Host ([String]::Format("Added record:{0}",$r));
$r++;

Error when attaching workflows to Sharepoint 2010 lists
Hi,
I am getting an error when trying to attach an approval workflow to any SharePoint 2010 list on my development server. From the below error in the log I remember that I got this
same error in Sharepoint 2007 MOSS. It occurs because I have underscores in the server name. I know that I can get around this by either changing the server name or using alternative access mappings to access the server without the underscores. Does anyone
know of a way to fix this so that the srever name can have underscores which I believe are viable characters in a server name.
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: g at System.Guid..ctor(String g) at Microsoft.Office.Workflow.WrkAssocPage.AssociationOnLoad(EventArgs
ea) at Microsoft.Office.Workflow.CstWrkflIPPage.OnLoad(EventArgs ea) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint,
Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) b06aa203-3cbe-4180-806a-4ed994fbbee9I think you are referring to the following KB about special characters.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905231
This is not the reason we are experiencing the workflow problem though. It is related to Internet Explorer security which changed.
Issues after you install updates to Internet Explorer or Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325192
"Cookies on ASP pages are blocked if the server name contains characters that are not supported by Domain Name System (DNS). For example, you cannot use underscore characters (_) in the server name. This behavior is by design."
Resolutions include:
Removing underscore from server name
Use Alternate Access Mappings
Extend and map using a web application that uses a URL path that does not use the servername
Decrease the security level in IE on the Security tab (not recommended)
Uncomment a line in the web.config which is commented by default (not recommended)
<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule" />
Hope this makes the issue more clear. I have updated the SharePoint KB to point to the Internet Explorer KB so people will be aware that the IE change does affect SharePoint behavior. This is not a SharePoint issue however.

Unknow error occured while Updating Mpp file to sharepoint 2010 list
Hi ,
Any body can help me here whenever i am syncing any mpp file to sharepoint 2010 list i am getting error that
"Please check SharePoint site is running or not "
Thanks
Abhishek
Abhishek Tiwari1- once you are done with creating MPP file save as .MPP file Type in all files and store in the same site where you would like to view/see.
3- create new project task.
4- now open the file and start syncing give the site name only there you will get a drop of your project task in second column which you just created.
5- validate and start syncing .
NOTE :- whenever you are making any modification in file make sure that you haacve saved the file by slecting as .MPP in all file & stored in the same site .

Date parameter does not work in SharePoint 2010 report using SQL 2008 Server Reporting Service
Here is the settings:
SharePoint 2010 with SQL server 2008 reporting services configured
When create a report for a SP list using SQL server report builder (3.0) the date parameter does not work.
The data parameter is set as "date and time" type and field name equals the col name in the SP list
When run the report, the whatever dates I select, the result is always the same, so the parameters do not take any effect.
Is any step missing?
Thanks for any advice !Hi ,
How did you configure you "date and time" type parameter and field name equals the col name in the SP list?
Have you tested if other type parameter worked?
Have you tried typing the date format as 20140722 in your date parameter filed before run the report?

Downloaded FF4, but would not open on Mac OS X10.4.11; in trying I lost my FF3.6.16 and could not retrieve it; had to settle for downloading FF3.6.12.
