Lookup column only return 201 items from external list

I have a BCS external list which contains about 700 items. I already set the BCS Throttle limit to 50000 items (default) and 1000000 (max). I can view all 700 items in the external list.
I created a regular lookup column in a custom list to lookup the external list. When I click the drop-down, it only returns the first 201 items with a red message "Warning: Too many results have
been returned. This result set may be incomplete or truncated.". I need all items available for selection so set up a filer will not work for me.
I just wonder if there is any work around for the issue. Many thanks.

This is unfortunately the default behavior with external content type. The limit is set at 201. You can however avoid this by setting appropriate filters to limit the number of results to less than 200. The user can use wildcards in their filter to
more fine tune the results returned.

Problem while storing items from trailing list to database

hi all,
can anyone help me out. i have scenario where i have to store items from trailing list into database. suppose if there are 3 items in the list, 3 rows should be inserted into database with all the remaining fields same like
A ,1 , c
A, 2, c
A , 3, c where 1,2,3 are items from trailing list. Am iterating the loop.
What am doing is before saving am checking for duplicates i.e are there any records with the same combination. If yes am doing nothing else am committing the changes..
As am not doing anything if any duplicte record is present, the changes made to the fields persists and once if any commit happens all the values are getting saved. which is voilating my condition..
Thanks

Javascript help to copy selected items from one list to another list on same site

Hello,
So I have a request that I am not sure how to handle. I have created a page with a list view webpart that displays all the items from one list.
The user is then supposed to select off multiple list items and click on a button (most likely a ribbon button) that will take the selected items and copy them to another list on the same SharePoint site.
I would like to do this with JavaScript, but have only found an example that copies library items to another library.

Hi KansaiKel,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy selected list items to another list.
I suggest you can use JavaScript Client Object Model to achieve it.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
<script type="text/javascript">
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var siteUrl = 'http://sp2013sps/sites/test';
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
var web = context.get_web();
context.load(web);
var sourceId = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList();
var source = web.get_lists().getById(sourceId);
var oList = context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Copy');
context.load(oList);
var selectedItems = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(context);
alert('debut');
for(var i in selectedItems)
var currentItem = source.getItemById(selectedItems[i].id);
context.load(currentItem);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,test),Function.createDelegate(this,error));
function test(sender, args){
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
var oListItem = oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
oListItem.set_item('Title', currentItem.get_item('Title'));
oListItem.update();
oList.update();
alert('done');
function error(sender, args){ alert('error');}""
</script>

How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service

Hi,
How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service.
Both the Lists are in different Web applications.
Regards, Shreyas R S

Hi Shreyas,
From your post, it seems that you are using SharePoint 2013 workflow platform in SPD.
If that is the case, we can use Call HTTP web service action to get the item data, but we cannot use Call HTTP web service to create a new item in the list in another web application with these data.
As my test, we would get Unauthorized error when using Call HTTP web service action to create a new item in a list in another web application.
So I recommend to achieve this goal programmatically.

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"?

Not able to crawl all items from External content type

Hello All,
"All the records in my external content source are not getting crawled, only 1/3 rd of the data are getting crawled."
Steps:
I created "External content type" using sharepoint designer which connects to a SQL Server database.
Have written a SQL View joining 2 tables, which return 9,00,000 rows when executed using the SQL Server management studio.
I used the default "Business Data Connectivity Service" and "Search Service Application" and made sure the necessary permissions are set.
Created a External Content source for the search service application and selected the "Business Data Connectivity Service" -> "Crawl selected External datasource" -> <my external datasource i created in sharepoint designer>
Issue
When i ran the full crawl for the first time it crawled "3,49,923" records in 01 hour and 07 seconds. And returned 1 error "Error crawling LOB Contents.(Error caused by exception: System.InvalidOperationException. There is an error in XML
document...)
Later i removed the below item from the index and started a full recrawl, this time it crawled "3,49,924" records 1 record extra from my previous crawl
and no errors were returned.
Please let me know what could be the issue. It doesn't look like the permission related issues as i am able to crawl the 1/3rd of my total data. Also i am able to search the crawled data. I also set the throtteling limit for the "Business data catalog"
to -maximum 10000000 -default 1000000 which is less than the data it has to crawl.
SRIRAM

Hi ,
I started the change suggested in the link shared by you, but got stuck at a point,
The field which i set as identifier in BCS earlier is not having unique values. Total rows returned by the sql view is 899000, but the unique values present in the column that is set as identifier is
3,49,923, which is equal to the number of rows crawled. - Is this the reason why it didnt crawl all records?
The table that is used in the sql view has composite key, - Is it possible to have multiple identifier in BCS as well?
Is it possible to make BCS to ignore the identifier? i mean creating BCS without an identifier column?
Please let me know your suggestions on this.
Thanks,
SRIRAM
Yes, BCS needs a UID. This is so it can figure out changes over time to a single record. Otherwise all changes to a row could be a potential new row without BCS knowing any better.
Yes, or just have it run off the composite key instead of the field you're using now.
Nope, BCS needs a UID field like in answer 1 :)
Good luck!

XSRF error when returning to SRM from external catalog

Hello,
We recently applied support package stack 19 to our SRM 5.0 development system, and after doing so found that some of our configured catalogs began producing an XSRF error when attempting to populate the SRM shopping cart with items from the catalog. The symptoms encountered are practically identical with those described in Note 1615697 ("Return to SRM application from Catalogs result in Dump"). This error did not occur prior to applying support packages.
In an effort to resolve the problem, we applied the following Notes that described the same or similar symptoms:
1551982: Cross Site Request Forgery Protection for stateless BSP
1596088: frequent dumps in ITS services
1607780: Update #5 to security note 1522651
1613427: ITS Services lead to XSRF Dumps
1615697: Return to SRM application from Catalogs result in Dump
1619323: Frequent Dump issue in ITS
1621525: Dump in Vendor list service
1629031: BBP_BACKGROUND_APPROVAL service results in dump
1632110: Quotation search help fields results in a Dump
1634612: Frequent Dump issue in ITS in Search screens
1650207: BBP_POC service results in XSRF dump
1658516: Applets sheitern an XSRF-Schutz (COOKIE_NOT_FOUND)
1675491: ITS: CALL BROWSER and termination of a session
This did result in some of our catalogs working that previously were dumping, but we are still having issues with at least two and possibly other catalogs. These are external vendor catalogs using the OCI interface.
The error occurs at the time of transmitting items from the catalog back into the SRM shopping cart. The catalog screen is replaced with an error screen with the messages "The URL https://<<our SRM dev system>>:/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/bbpsc03/ was not called due to an error" and "A:ITS_P:019 XSRF no sec_sesstoken". The shopping cart in the SRM system is lost after this error occurs. No short dump is recorded, but the SM21 system log records the ITS_P 019 error against tcode BBPSC03, program SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS.
Most of our catalogs, internal and external, are fine after applying the Notes. Just two external vendor catalogs still exhibit this error.
I experimented with adding a new parameter after the Return URL in the catalog configuration in SPRO with name = ~SAP_SESSTOKEN, value = `SAP_SESSTOKEN`, and type = SAP Field, based upon Note 1481392, but this did not make any change in the behavior.
I have patched the kernel (7.00) to pl335 (pl310 is delivered with sps19).
Anyone else having this sort of issue?
Best regards,
Matt

How to move ONLY one iTunes item from iPad to computer

How do I move JUST one item from my iPad to the computer using the new iTunes? I do NOT want to sync everything on the iPad to the computer. I do NOT want the computer to download anything from the store.
My home internet connection isn't much faster than dial-up. I also have access to a high-speed internet connection somewhere else, so have been buying or renting movies and TV shows with the iPad. if I've purchased them, I transfer them to a separate iTunes library I have on an external hard drive connected to my computer and remove them from the iPad, since memory on it is an issue.
I just tried to do that for the first time using the newest version of iTunes. First iTunes went to the store to download a movie, which would take 8 hours and that I didn't want. I quit the program and selected sync from iPad. Then, it proceeded to automatically transfer a bunch of books and podcasts that I don't want to transfer (and it will take a bunch of extra time). How can I transfer ONLY the one episode of a TV show that's on the iPad? I don't want to transfer anything else, not the books and so on. I can't find any way to do that in the latest version of iTunes.
Is there any way to restore the old iTunes, so that I can individually choose what I want to copy to the computer from the iPad?

mtngal2,
I've had this same problem and I haven't received a response how to get around it.

How to only sync selected items from library

*I am a new owner of a 120GB iPod classic. How do I sync only certain songs from the itunes I currently have ? I removed the check mark from the box and those songs still downloaded to the ipod. Not sure how to set itunes to only snyc those items selected. Any help is appreciated.*

Hey there,
One thing you want to check is to make sure you have your iPod set to only sync checked songs. To do this, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, on the Summary tab, you will see a section called "Options" below. You want to make sure you have a check mark next to "Sync only checked songs and videos" and then hit Apply and see if that helps.

Passing values to APEX items from external site

All,
Is it possible to pass values to APEX page items from an external web site?
For example, I have an external web site where users type in a username and password into fields. When they click the 'log-in' button in the external site, I would like to have those values passed to the APEX log-in page. If possible, I would like to have the APEX log-in occur 'invisibly' and the user taken directly to the home page of the app. If that's not possible, it would be nice to simply have the 'user name' and 'password' fields filled in on the APEX side.
I'm using APEX 3.0.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Alex

Hello Alex,
>> Is it possible to pass values to APEX page items from an external web site?
The general answer is yes. You can use the f?p syntax to set the value of any APEX item - http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32471/concept.htm#sthref185 .
In your specific example, the main question should be is it wise? The mere fact that you are using a login process suggests you have something to protect in your application. The f?p syntax uses a plain text for the items’ value, which means that the user name and password will be completely exposed.
Regards,
Arie.

How to return object type from external c procedure ?

Hello all,
I'm trying for the first time to return an object type as the return value of an external stored procedure (in C ).
I don't have any issue to use an object type parameter for the function but not to return one to the caller.
each time I try I get "ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel" and the connection is dropped.
Thanks for any help,

}

The return indicator should be declared as double pointer, and need to be allocated in the function body.

Failed to update a list item to external list

I'm getting below error when I try to add my record to external list. This happen when spExternalItem.Update for 2nd time. I have value in my params
"Failed to update a list item for this external list based on the Entity (External Content Type) 'SA' in EntityNamespace 'Triggers'. Details: Null was returned to FindSpecific (Read Item operation)."
SPList spExternalList = contentDb.Sites[0].RootWeb.Lists["SA"];
List<string>
lstMachineNames = GetMachineNames(lstWarehouseTaskRecords);
foreach(stringstrMachineName
inlstMachineNames)
SPListItemspExternalItem = spExternalList.Items.Add();
spExternalItem["FormType1"]
= "WH";
spExternalItem["SerialNum1"]
= strMachineName;
spExternalItem.Update();
Serial Number is "map to identifier" in External Content types. "Required" and "Read-only" check box is uncheck. Anyone has any idea? please help.
[UPDATED 7 May 2014]
I believe it is due to BDC problem. I created another column called ID so I can map this ID column as identifiers instead of using SerialNum1 and this error solved!

Hi,
As you said, the error thrown when executing the Update method for the second time.
I suggest you debug your code in Visual Studio and keep watching the values of objects in use to get more details about the root cause of the error.
What’s more, you can take a look at the posts from Dimitry and Scot in this thread with similar error message:
