Need to move documents from Record center to file share

I am trying to figure out how can I manage moving the documents from record center to file share. I want to move the older documents that are taking lot of space from record center in to some kind of file share. There are thousands of old documents that
I need to move to file share, so this needs to be bulk move.

Assuming you have permissions to the Record Center this is basically as easy as opening up the Library in Explorer view and doing a Drag and Drop Move.  But you should be aware that you'll lose all the metadata when you do it.  I suspect what
you really want is to move the documents to lower cost storage but retain the metadata and the connection to the records center.  To do that you would need to look at something like StoragePoint from Metalogix.  There's nothing built-in to SharePoint
that provides that kind of functionality.

  • Move documents to records center when workflow is completed

    I use SharePoint 2013.  In my Library, my document goes through a workflow. As soon as the workflow (developed on 2013 wf platform) is done, the document needs to be send to the Records Centre automatically. How can I do that?
    Retention Stage property (In information policy) only cater for:  Time Period = Created / Modified / Declare Record.  How can I check for wf status = Completed and then move the document to Records Centre?

  • Move document from one environment to another when document is approved

    Hi,
    I need to move document from extranet environment(abc domain) document library to intranet environment(xyz domain) document library when document approved.
    Can anybody suggest me how we can proceed?
    Thanks,
    Raju

    Are you writing a custom workflow or you are using out of the box approval workflow?
    Regardless the best option for you is to use two step approach. 
    1) When document is approved using Copy.CopyIntoItems Method to copy document to your extranet farm. You will have to rely on web services given you are communicating between two farms.
    Copies a document represented by a Byte array to one or more locations on a
    server.
    2) Once the document is copied then your List.asmx to delete from original location.
    How to: Update List Items
    If you are using out of the box approval workflow then best way to automate this is using event receivers. If this is custom workflow then write your code in the workflow using code activity.

  • How to create workflow to move document from site to its subsite

    Hi All,
    I need suggestion on share point workflow development. Currently I am working on Share Point 2013. I have root site and its sub-sites.
    Following is the challenge:
    1. I have to move document from "Document Library" of root site to one of its sub-site using share point workflow.
    2. Move document from sub-site to sub-site of root site.
    I am not sure whether I should use "List workflow" or "Site workflow" as I am new in Share point. I am using share point designer 2013 to develop workflow. I search a lot on google but no luck on this.
    Please provide yours valuable suggestion. Thanks

    Khadatkar,
    You need to turn on feature called "Workflows can use app permissions"
    Link - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj822159.aspx
    Follow similar steps in SharePoint Designer 2013.

  • I have an old Mac Tower.  I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive. What kind of hard drive do I purchase.  There is not a lot of data to be transferred.

    I have an old Mac Tower.  I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive.  What kind of of hard drive must I purchase so that it works with the Tower?  There is not a lot to transfer.

    MG,
    What we might need to do is to change the question.  What computer do you plan to use the data on in the future?  For example, if you have a newer tower, just move the hard drive to the new tower.  If you want to use the data, what about an ethernet LAN to get the data over?  If you want to archive the data, how do you store the second drive?  What are your plans for the first drive?  If the new software will not recognize the old file type, the data must be exported.  Just getting files to another hard drive will not finish your journey.
    As Allan said, knowing the exact model and year of your tower is important.  My suggestion is to find a user group near you.  Please post back with more information, including the name of a large city near you.
    For example, our user group just experimented with a 1983 Apple IIc that predates the Mac.  It started right up, read files from 1984  and saved them from a 5.25" floppy to a 3.5" floppy.  That 3.5 floppy will go into a platinum G3 which will read PRODOS files using Apple File Exchange.  That G3, with a USB card, will allow saving the files to a USB flash drive.  But, somewhere along the way, some software has to read the file and convert it to data that is useable by current software.

  • I need to move email from windows notebook, outlook to mac mail on my new macbook pro

    i need to move email from windows notebook-outlook to mac
    mail? need help?

    Hi Linc, I started setting up my new computer a few months ago so don't remember the details.  I did not use migration assistant, nor do I wish to, I believe it was set up through icloud.   Now that I needed my calendar while doing taxes I discover there are no events for 2014 and earlier (except 2 oddly enough).  I do remember that iCloud instructions were not clear as to what would happen in the choices it gave.
    I copied my old user files over from my external back up after my old computer stopped working, was hoping I could put ical folders in the right place to be used by Calendar or import somehow.

  • I need to move SharePoint from Rackspaces to Amazon. Help, please.

    Help, please.
    I need to move SP from Rackspaces to Amazon.
    How can I do that?
    Thanks in advanced.

    How much content do you have in current hosting? Do you have any custom solutions deployed? It depends on what kind of hosting package you have. You can take complete backup if you have access to this functionality and then restore in new hosting. Hosting
    companies help users in setting up sites. There are different options. You can setup sharepoint on amazon and then use third party software to copy sites to new location. Delete sites from rackspace after the migration is over.

  • Move Documents from a site to a sub site with SharePoint on Office 365

    Good Morning,
    I am trying to configure my Content Organizer Rules to send documents uploaded in one site (e.g. contoso.sharepoint.com/DropOffLibrary) to a library in a sub site (e.g. contoso.sharepoint.com/testSite/destintionLibrary). I have turned on the Content Organizer
    for both sites, checked the setting that "<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_enableCrossRoutingSection_crossRoutingCheckBox">Allow rules to specify another site as a target location", and </label>ensured the content type was
    on the Drop Off Library and the destination library. The Content Type was a custom type that included custom columns.
    I created a rule based upon one of those columns that sent the document to the correct library (site) based upon the choice made. The column did not accept any value except the choices provided. When I try to enter the destination for the document,
    the sub-sites are not listed as options to select and neither are the libraries contained within them. When I enter in the URL for the targeted library, the message "A valid target path must be selected." appears. If I create the same rule,
    targeting the local library, it works.
    Any ideas on why this is not working for me?

    Hi Zac,
    In order to route documents from one site to another, please make sure you have set up a send to location in Records Management in SharePoint admin center for the destination site.

  • Workflow to move documents to Record Centre

    Hi,
    I'm developing a Approval workflow to move documents to a  Record Centre Site on approval. The workflow works fine until I add the If to test if the workflow outcome for the move/archiving of the document was Approved or Rejected. The
    issue seem to be that the field in the library for the workflow doesn't appear to show the updated value (Approved or Rejected) until the page is refreshed so when the workflow checks if the value is Approved (16) it returns In Progress(2) so the If condition
    never runs
    Steps in the workflow
    Step 1
    Log "Starting Approval for Move to Record Centre" to the workflow History List
    them Start Approval
    process on Current Item
    with these users
    If CurrentItem:ApproveMoveToRecordCentre 
    Equals 
    16  ("here's where I get returned value of 2 as the workflow is still in progress")
    Submit File using this action  to  this destination router  with
    this explanation 
    (Output to variable:submit file result)
    Else
    Log Archiving Not Approved to the workflow history task list

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the If condition was not executed in the workflow.
    I recommend to add a step Pause for Duration under the Start Approval Process step.
    Best regards.
    Thanks
