Item Versioning

Is there a way to selectively purge old versions of items in a content area that have been set to create new versions of the item when changes are made? We would like to be able to keep a certain number of versions or only versions that are less than 'x' days old. Any ideas?
Thanks

All I can suggest is to generate a report with the Content Area Views (http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/plsql/doc/sdk23vws.htm#5) that lists the number of versions/item. You can then manually remove the older versions.

  • WebDAV item versions access in 9.0.2

    For our portal usage, webDAV is a good way to provide a simple way to update documents stored in the portal.
    However, item versioning management through webDAV should be improved/fixed.
    A. In case of "simple item versioning", the default behaviour cannot be configured. It is always: "replace current version"
    B. The various versions are all accessible through webDAV showing the different filenames associated. So, if having an item with:
    ver.1 - TEST_1.TXT
    ver.2 - TEST_2.TXT
    current ver.3 - TEST.TXT
    it will be possible to access any of them. The action of opening one of them, modifying and saving it (same name, same place), will produce a "replace current version" action, even if the folder was marked with "AUDIT versioning"! In this case the action should not be permitted, or it should produce the generation of a new item version.
    C. Although still poorely implemented in client applications, it is desirable the implementation of the versioning extension of the webDAV protocol, as described in RFC-3253. We have our own client applications (home made) that could benefit from that feature.
    Thanks.

    Item versioning was not implemented for this release. We are aware that this functionality is needed by many and are planning on implementing it in a subsequent release.
    Thanks for your suggestion!

  • Item versions access in 9.0.2

    Rel. 2 has introduced many new interesting features. Nevertheless some bugs/missing features previously existing appared.
    This is the case of the item versioning icon, which is no more present in the default style. The bad is that now the page opened reports a static page of the various existing versions, without giving the user the possibility to retrieve a previous version of the document, as it was possible in rel. 1.
    This will cause us some problems, since we use the portal to store working documents which are updated regurarly, but people need to access even previous versions.
    Any possibility to reintroduce this feature in next version (9.0.3)?
    Thanks.

    For editing it is true. The function has been improved and it is just a matter of letting contributors getting confidence with the new UI.
    For accessing versions other than the current, you removed a function in PORTAL.wwv_basedm.show_versions :
    - In release 1 it returns a page showing all the versions as a fully featured items area, with images, title, description, category, perspectives, etc. In particular users have the ability to click on any title and open a version of the document.
    - In release 2 it returns only a list with the pair version-number and title. No way to get additional information (many times the title is the same, but the description differs), no way to click on a title to open a version of the document.
    Result: people with read-only rights in release 2 can just access the current version of a document. People with read-write rights are obliged to enter in edit mode, get the action page, select the versions action, click the edit link on the version they want to access, then click on the file name reported (they just want to open the file, not to modify the item).
    This is mandatory for us, since we have many technical reports published with versioning. Usually people get the latest version, but old versions are accessed too (they refers to different experiences/data, so they are still interesting). Is it possible to reintroduce the rel.1 behaviour?

  • Exchange 2013 Recoverable Items\Versions folder stays empty

    Hi All,
    I need some clarifications on Recoverable Items Folder.
    Versions: If either litigation hold or single item recovery is enabled and If a user modifies an item, a copy of the original item is placed in the Recoverable Items\Versions folder, by a process called copy-on-write page protection. This
    folder isn’t visible to end users. (Visible via MFCMAPI though)
    I don’t seem to be practically achieve this with Single Item Recovery Enabled.
    The Versions folder stays empty irrespective of edits(saves) I make on emails located in Inbox, Deleted Items or elsewhere.
    I would really appreciate some light here on how to get this going.
    NOTE:- Deletions and Purges folder are working just fine.

    Thank you Allen and Shweta for your response.
    Sorry for not being clearer earlier. Below are the current settings for the user.
    I have already enabled SingleItemRecovery for the user and checking the 'versions' folder using Get-MailboxFolderStatistics cmdlet and MFCMAPI tool.
    What I want is to get the versions folder count\size to increase, how can I get that tested.
    Please  guide me through the steps to make edits on the email items to make this happen.

  • Enable Item Versioning

    I have created a new Oracle Instant Portal but am having some difficulty enabling Check in / Check Out of Files on the Portal.
    Just to explain, I have added several files to the page but I am unable to check them out / in. Normally when you add a File item, you are asked in the creation wizard if you want to enable Check in / Out. This is not the case when adding an item via the Instant Portal.
    Please explain if it works differently in the Instant Portal
    Regards
    Duncan

    I have seen the same problem on 3.0.9.8.5. It works when content area item versioning is switched off, but not when it is switched on (even with p_addnewversion = true). Is this a known bug???
    Thanks,

  • CSOM - Fetching list item version history programmatically

    HI,
    Is it possible to get the List item version history programmatically using Client Object model?
    I have checked these links:
    http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2010/07/16/programmatically-get-document-version-history-using-client-object-model-sharepoint-2010/
    but was not able to achieve. I am not looking for Document library, but for a custom list.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In SharePoint Object Model, there is a
    SPListItem.Versions property
    can help to “Gets the collection of item version objects that represent the versions of the item”.
    However, in SharePoint Client Object Model, this property is not available at this moment.
    A workaround is that we can create a custom WCF web service for consuming from client side, then in this web service, we can use Object Model to access the versions of a list
    item.
    About how to
    create and a custom WCF web service:
    http://nikpatel.net/2012/02/29/step-by-step-building-custom-wcf-services-hosted-in-sharepoint-part-i/
    This workaround would not be applied to SharePoint Online cause Object Model is needed.
    If there may be some better ideas or solutions about this topic, your sharing would be welcome.
    Thanks

  • Simple Item Version Control Default Option

    With simple item versioning, the item version control options that show up are
    *Add Item As New Version, but not as Current Version
    *Add Item As New and Current Version
    *Overwrite Current Version
    Currently the option selected by default is “Overwrite Current Version”. Is there an easy way to change the default option to be “Add Item As New and Current Version”?
    Thanks in advance.

    No - there does not seem to be an easy option to do this.

  • Question about item versions

    In V1 version of the portal, an end user (with view access) could look at older versions of a file type item by clicking the glasses icon. The glasses icon appeared as a result of displaying the attribute "versions" for a region. The end user could not only see the available versions list, but could also click on each of the older versions and open the older versions of the document.
    In version 9.0.2.2.14A when a end user (with view access) clicks on the glasses (versions) icon
    it just shows a list of Available versions. But no hyperlinks to access each one of these older documents.
    What is the use of displaying Available versions when an end user cannot access the earlier versions of the documents.
    (however I know that a user with edit access to the item, can see the earlier versions and edit them
    or set them as latest version)
    Is this behavior same in 9.0.2.6?
    We heavily depend on this feature. I don't how to work around this.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    This feature has been restored in 9.0.2.6.

    Hi,
     If you want that functionality, you have edit the Versions.aspx page (refer the below path) and include your print button and javascript to print it. I believe this is the way you can achieve it

  • Retrieve SharePoint List Item version with few columns only

    How to retrieve the version history of the list item in just a few columns just like what we can do with viewfields in spquery which return list item?
    Having performance problem when using splistitem.versions in a big list. When I show only the latest version, the page load much faster.
    teikboon

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about the version history.
    I couldn’t reproduce the issue in my environment, and I don’t think it’s a known issue.
    Per my knowledge, the version history contains information about when the item or file was changed, who changed it, and information about what was changed. In libraries, the version history might also contain comments written by the people who made changes.
    As you had said, you had seen an update to the value of the new column, did you see who changed it ? Maybe some had changed it.
    Could you reproduce the issue use the other lists? You can check with other lists to see whether it works.
    To quickly and accurately find the issue, I recommend you check with the ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

  • Export Library/ List Item Version History

    Hello all,
    I would like to save some documents from the SharePoint on a normal disk. In one library version control is turned on. Now I am wondering if it is possible to export the version history
    to an excel or txt file. Does somebody know a way?
    Kind Regards

    There is no OOB way. You need to use custom code:

  • Powershell script to find number of major and minor version for a item

    Is there a way to figure out to get the total major and minor version count for an item in powershell.
    I can get the count on basis of following
    “Item Versions” = $item.Versions.Count
    but not sure how to get number of major and number of minor version for an item. Pls advice.
    Thanks Basva

    Hi Basva,
    There might be an easier way, but this should work:
    foreach($item in $list.Items)
    $minor = 0
    $major = 0
    foreach($version in $item.Versions)
    if($version.Level -eq "Draft")
    $minor += 1
    else #Assume Level must be Published
    $major += 1
    #The variables $minor and $major will now hold
    #the correct number of versions for this item

  • Deleting only previous versions of an item (programmatically)

    Is it possible (if so, how?) to delete the old versions of a portal item, but leave the current version alone?
    I have a procedure that uses wwsbr_api.delete_item to delete items, but it removes every version of the item, including the current version. My page group was set to Audit for Item Versioning, but I have since changed it to None, and I would like to clean up the old versions before using a transport set to migrate the page group to a new environment.
    Thanks for your help,
    Jeff

    Before executing wwsbr_api.delete_item, check whether the item is the current version by querying the view wwsbr_all_items. Make sure the is_current_version = 0 before deleting.
