Preserving old Created On dates during SharePOint Online migration

We are currently migrating files from our on-premise fileshare to SharePoint Online. We wish to carry as much file meta data from the fileshare into SharePoint Online, but when we drag&drop a file from the fileshare to our Documents
library in in SharePoint we lose the original Created On data stored on the fileshare i.e. SharePoint site column 'Created' is populated with the date the file is created on SharePoint and not the original date of the file.
Could anyone advise on how we can carry the Created On date from the fileshare into SharePoint?

I believe Office 365 supports only web templates, not site templates. There is a subtle difference between these two.
http://geekswithblogs.net/erwinvanhunen/archive/2012/02/09/creating-a-site-collection-from-your-own-webtemplate-on-office.aspx
You need to create a custom web template, import it as .wsp, upload to Solutions gallery of Office 365 site-collection and activate it it. Have your done this ??
I don't think you get direct access to log files for troubleshooting correlation id issues. You may need to contact microsoft support.

Get local sql server data in sharepoint online

Hi
Can anyone tell, how to get local sql server data in SharePoint online.

Hi Partha,
Are you taking about local content db to SharePoint Online, if yes then there is not direct way to restore your local content db to online instead if you have small data then you can save your site as a template including content and the upload that template
and create site on online using that template.
Below mentioned link might also help:

Project Pro corrupting task details (% complete, start date, due date) on SharePoint Online

I think I've found a bug with Project Professional for O365 Client ... or it may be 'intended' behavior that's potentially quite destructive. Sorry for the long post.
Here's my scenario. I have a 'project site' set up in SPO. I use the richness of Project Pro Client to update tasks in that project, and members of my project team update their tasks using the basic SPO interface through web browser.
Here's my problem ... two in fact.
#1 - whenever I open Project Client and access the tasks in the SPO project site, it (Project Client) randomly changes some info about some of the tasks in the project ... at the time the Client OPENS. E.g. % complete, start date, end date are some of the fields
that are being clobbered by the Client. But only on some tasks, not all. So imagine a task is 100% complete. Open the Client, and it also shows the task 100% complete once all the synchronization with the SPO task list is complete, but now go look on SPO (while
Client is still open on my laptop), and the task suddenly shows 50% complete. Now close the Client WITH SAVE, and it sets the task back to 100%. But close the client WITHOUT SAVE (remember, we haven't changed anything, so why would I save?), and the task gets
left at 50% complete in SPO. Same behavior with dates. And again, Client is not doing this with all the tasks in the project, just some of them, and I haven't been able to find the pattern.
#2 - Project Client, for whatever reason, creates a new version of each task in the project on SPO, even though nothing changed about the task (i.e. no updates to % complete, start date, end date or anything else). I have versioning turned on so that I can
see the history of each task (i.e. see who changed/updated each task and when). Problem is that the Client is adding a new version each time I run it and access the project, causing old version info to be dropped (because I limit the number of versions to
20), making it impossible for me to spot legitimate changes to task details among all the 'false' version changes generated by the client.
I have a test project with just 3 tasks set up on my test site. I'm able to reproduce the behavior above every time (i.e. it's not intermittent).
Has anyone out there had similar unexpected behavior from the Project Client/SPO project site combination?

Create list item in sharepoint online list throws error in iPhone

Hi all :
I have got a piece of JS code where I am creating multiple list items. So first I am creating an Expense item and then each of the expense line item( 5 of those ) in a different list. It creates the Expense item successfully and then when it tries to
create the line items, I am getting the following error :
Request failed. Unexpected response from server. null
However when I go to the line items list, I can see all the items being created!!! I am also inserting my code below.
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(function (sender, args) {
                var createdExpenseID = viewModel.listItem.get_id();
                //Now create the expense line items - one by one
                clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
                web = clientContext.get_web();
                list = web.get_lists().getByTitle("Expense Items");
                var expenseIDLookup = new SP.FieldLookupValue();
            expenseIDLookup.set_lookupId(createdExpenseID);
                /*for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
                    var descriptionField = "description"+i;
        alert(viewModel.model.window[descriptionField]);
                itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
             this.listItem = list.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
             //alert(list);
             this.listItem.set_item('Title', viewModel.model.description1());
             this.listItem.set_item('Date', $('#date1').val());
             this.listItem.set_item('ProjectNumber', viewModel.model.projectNumber1());
             this.listItem.set_item('ClientToPay', viewModel.model.selectedClienttopay1());
             this.listItem.set_item('Amount', viewModel.model.amount1());
             this.listItem.set_item('ExpenseCurrency', viewModel.model.selectedExpenseCurrency1());
                this.listItem.set_item('ExchangeRate', viewModel.model.exchange1());
                this.listItem.set_item('ConvertedAmount', viewModel.model.converted1());
                this.listItem.set_item('Expense', expenseIDLookup);
                this.listItem.update();
                clientContext.load(this.listItem);
                clientContext.executeQueryAsync(function (sender, args) {
    function (sender, args) {
                alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
                itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();

                this.listItem.set_item('Expense', expenseIDLookup);
                this.listItem.update();
                clientContext.load(this.listItem);
                clientContext.executeQueryAsync(function (sender, args) {
    function (sender, args) {
                alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
   //Now redirect to the newly created item edititem.aspx page for attaching attachments
                window.location.replace("/sites/process/Lists/Expense/EditForm.aspx?ID="+createdExpenseID+"&Source=/sites/process");
function (sender, args) {
    alert('Expense creation failed');
The outermost executeQueryAsync creates the Expense item and on being successful, I create the line items.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
developer_melbourne

Ok so I resolved the issue and thought to provide the answer. It was caused by the line where it is doing redirection using window.location.replace. Somehow it works in IE, not in Safari in iPhone.
Anyways you can do the redirection after all the items get created in the last success method of the last item creation OR you can use deferred/promise of jQuery to achieve the same.
Thanks

SharePoint Online - Migration tools

Hi All,
We want to migrate a site collection, webparts and content from a SharePoint 2013 Online site to another SharePoint 2013 online site. Could someone give me a few suggestions for a good migration tool. I am currently trialling Sharegate, which looks good,
are there any other?
Thanks
Sharepoint Dummy

Hello,
You should start by making a backup of the
DB content at source and restore
destination, to prevent users keep writing
in the source SPmarks the
read-only databases.
Subsequently mounted (mount-SPContentDatabase)
the DB pointing it to the corresponding
web application.
It is possible that during the mounted of the DB
jump alerts features, jobs,
etc ... missing, then that part
will have to check and determine if the
features are valid and need to install
on arrival or can remove because
they are not necessary.

Access 2010 Linked to Sharepoint online - avoid direct access to sharepoint stored data

Hello,
I have an access 2010 application (front end) connected to SharePoint online team site (as back end).
I wish to allow my users to work with the front end but to avoid direct access to the data on SharePoint Online.
The user will open the access application and it will auto connect & work with SharePoint online.
How can I implement this?
Thank you for your help

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use Access 2010 to connect the SharePoint Online data.
In Access 2010, you can connect the SharePoint list as a external datasource like the capture below. It will need to input url and user credentials to access SharePoint site in the wizard. If you want to connect automatically, you will need write some custom
Micro code to achieve it.
If you have some question about Micro code to connect SharePoint list automatically, I suggest you can create a new thread in Access Development, you will get more detailed information from there.

Sharepoint Online - File Associations - Create association for .sql files in SPO365

I maintain a document library as a script repository with .sql scripts. we refer to these often for operational processes.
unfortunately, we are currently only given the option to download these files from SharePoint Online.
Is it possible to create an association in SharePoint Online to have these files preview as text or to at least open them in SSMS or Notepad.
caveat = we dont want to change the default OS association for these files. SSMS is fine for the desktop, but in SPO365 a text viewer would be ideal as it would most easlily facilitate a copy and paste.
Thanks
G'B
Scott Davis

Hi,
According to your description, when you removed the Read List and Read Item operations and created them back based off of the view and recreated the external list, you saw all the columns you wanted.
Then you can modify view to choose the columns which you want to display.
The issue is, now the item picker and other operations that did not change seem to be going off of the view.
Do you mean that when you add/edit the item, it still displays the foreign key column in the list view?

Create new User Account in sharepoint online

I am trying to create a webpart (C#) to allow a user to create an account in sharepoint online (office 365). I thought there would be some type of web-service I could use to do this but so far no luck. I tried sharepointemailws.asmx but that didn't
work. There has to be a way that this can be done in C#, does anyone know? Help!

As you can use the New-MsolUser PowerShell cmdlet there must be a web service there. These might not be documented yet. You might try using Fiddler and see what PowerShell is sending.

One Identity in SharePoint Online and SharEPoint on Azure

Dear All,
I create the portal in SharePoint Online and I used local AD for identity.
But when I create the infopath form and workflow, I have used SharePoint on Azure.
My question,
If user access through SharePoint Online portal, and I do hyperlink to form on sharepoint azure. Can we use the same identity?
For example, user A access portal via SharePoint Online, when he click the form. it's directly automatically to SharePoint on Azure. No login again.
Thank you

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open a form on SharePoint azure from SharePoint Online with the same identity.
For your issue, you need to consider these technologies:
1)
Shared Access Signature
2)
WIndows Azure Acess Control
You can have a look at the blog:

Sharepoint online provider-hosted app AppEventReceiver callout failed.

I've created an AppEventReceiver for sharepoint online provider-hosted app, I can deploy the app if i hosted the remote web application on MS Azure, it work fine. if hosted the remote web application on local machine IIS whith public ip address, when
I deploy the app online the following error:
The remote event receiver callout failed.
Details: There was no endpoint listening at
http://115.193.xxx.xxx:6666/AppEventReceiver.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
two question:
1. does the provider-hosted app, (remote web application )must host on Azure so that the AppEventReceiver (appinstalled) then trigger?
2. what need to do when host on local machine IIS whith public ip address?

try these link:

using sharepoint designer 2013 - connected to sharepoint online - but getting " data source file cannot be saved" after making a new linked datasource

Hi,
Based on your description, I have done a test and I can’t reproduce your issue.
I have used SharePoint Designer 2013 to open a SharePoint Online site and there are no issues.
I’d like to clarify whether you encounter any issues when accessing SharePoint Online sites. If there are no issues during the accessing procedure, SharePoint Online service should be working fine at your side. The issue may be caused by specific SharePoint
Designer client or network. I suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Use SharePoint Designer to open another site and check whether it is successful.
2. When you are prompted to enter Office 365 account and password, try other users’ accounts and select the remembering the credential.
3. Perform the connection procedure under another environment and verify whether the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, can you provide related screenshots for further troubleshooting?

How to consume the sharepoint online Library data to Excel sheet using ODATA connection. That ODATA connection file resides in "SharePoint Online -Data Connections Library"

I have created a OData Connection to my Library and published to SharePoint online site.
To refresh the data, property is set like "Refresh when opening file"
When I downloaded and open the file, the new data is consumed to me successfully because this ODF file referenced to my local computer
If any other user downloads the file its not opening as reference file points to my local machine.
I want to keep this ODF file in "Data connections" Library (or in any site/Library) and establish the connection to the excel sheet. so that any one can use the ODF file.
or else any other alternative to use ODF file globally and get the SP Library data to excel ?

Hi,
it will use the connection in the ADF library. I recommend though that you not save database connect information in the ADF library. Instead:
- define the ADF BC model to use JDBC data sources
- In the ADF library, configure it to only contain the data source name
- In the view project (the workspace) configure the database connection exposed by the library
When the library is imported, check Application Resources --> Connections and right click on the imported connection name to configure it

Trigger a Workflow when a date is reached in SharePoint Online

I have created a simple list workflow (SharePoint Online) which emails a user, informing them a Document's
Target Closure Date has been reached. The workflow works fine when started manually.
I want to trigger the workflow only when Target Closure Date matches today's date.
The best solution seemed to be to use a Retention Policy. So I went to:
> Library Settings
> Information Management Policy settings
> Document content type
> ticked 'Enable Retention'
> Time Period: Target Closure Date + 0 days
> Action: Start the relevant workflow.
This worked only on two occasions - both were Saturday mornings, at 3.30am and 4.30am. I can see
in this MS article the Expiration Policy timer job only runs weekly on SharePoint 2013, so can anyone confirm that the schedule is the same in SharePoint Online?
If so, is there any way in SharePoint Online I can trigger a workflow when a date is reached?
Thanks for your help,
Alyosha

Hi Alyosha,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to send an email to a user when the Target Closure Date was reached in SharePoint Online.
The timer job of Retention Policy runs weekly in SharePoint Online, so we cannot use the Retention Policy to trigger the workflow.
As a workaround, I recommend to create a workflow associated with the library to send the email when the Target Closure Date was reached.
Here are the detailed steps:
Create a workflow associated with the library and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
Select Pause until Date to set the workflow to pause until the Target Closure Date.
Select Send an Email.
Best regards.
Thanks
