Search server express Content Source Type for file download

Hi All
We have recently installed Search Server Express 2010 in our organization. Now we want to create content source to search from our file server files.
Have used “File Shares" as "Content Source Type", and now this is working perfectly fine. But whenever we try to download the
files which are there in search result we wont be able to do that.
As well as search result shows the complete path of the file on file server.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Somnath

1. Should be much faster than that. Make sure you have an index on the KEY column (or, if a view, on the underlying column that the view is created on). Otherwise it will do a full table scan for each row it fetches.
2. 40 threads sounds a little high - we found the optimum level was between 10 and 15 threads. Have you checked the memory usage on the system? Perhaps all your threads are causing your system to page.
3. The column returning "LastModifiedDate" determines whether the content for that row needs to be reindexed. If LastModifiedDate is unchanged since the last crawl, the row will not be reindexed.

SharePoint 2010 functioning incorrectly after installing Search Server Express

Hi,
and thanks for taking the time to lend a hand and your knowledge. I have a Sharepoint Foundation 2010 site that has went crazy after I tried to install Search Server Express - which FAILED near the end.
I have checked the logs for the correlation Id provided on the SPF site when it errors.
03/05/2015 10:02:23.75 w3wp.exe (0x101C)      0x1264 SharePoint Foundation         Runtime
tkau Unexpected System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.    at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.ListEditPage.SetSectionLinks()     at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.ListEditPage.OnLoad(EventArgs
e)     at ASP._layouts_listedit_aspx.OnLoad(EventArgs e)     at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()     at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) b5f617dc-5d0e-4c5b-92fa-1b7e5a12f2e3
My issue now is that it appears I will need to remove the SSE install, but from what I can see online this can have a serious impact on the SPF site. I really want a few opinions as to what my best route to take would be on this issue.
Also, I am wondering what would happen if I run the install again of SSE, would it resolve,
OR
is it going to be a matter of detaching the content database and reinstalling SPF2010, and reattaching the content database (P.s. I have a back up of this database of approx. 4Gb from before I ran the install that has ruined the last two days of my life!!!)
Kind Regards,
AG06

Solution...
Over the weekend I was able to detach the Database, delete the original Web Application on Port 80.
Reattach the Database to new WebApplication and extended it to my current URL.
This was brilliant and it required minor config in terms of redeploying some custom solutions and WebParts.
The result was perfect and it confirms that because SearchServerExpress (which is now working perfectly I may add after a new install which ran without errors) failed to finish its installation.
P.s. I recommend that if you complete this, you back up almost everything you possibly can (as I did) - better to be safe than to be sorry.
P.s.s. Before I deleted the original Web Application on port 80, I had tested my theory on a new Web Application on port 400 (any port is fine providing it is not being used). This illustrated to me that it would work - I didn't just go deleting Web Applications
for the fun of it!

Any code available to get mime-type for file?

Hi,
at this link http://www.utoronto.ca/ian/books/html4ed/appb/mimetype.html you can find a huge listing of content-types for files. What I'd like to know is, if there's any code available for getting the right mime-type for a given file-extension. E.g given a filename "Document.doc" returns mime-type "application/msword".
Thanks in advance,
Tom

U can use the isMimeType() method to compare various types.
Eg. isMimeType("text/plain") or isMimeType("multipart/*") etc.

How to change the source type for a primary key on a form?

Problems with signed Applet for File Download under JRE 1.4 (works with 1.3

Dear all,
i encountered a very strange behaviour with JRE 1.4x. A signed applet used for file download worked on all platforms (Windows NT, 2000 and XP wth/wthout SP...) until I installed JRE 1.4.x (1.4.1 or 1.4.2)
I get an EOFException when downloading binary files (for ASCII it works fine) when trying to readByte() from a DataInputStream. But not immideately, but after x bytes in the while-loop. Security is fine (I know there have been changes to that in jre 1.4, the applet itself can be started an runs with ASCII files for transfer)
Does anyone know, what has changed in jre1.4.
As I said, it works fine under jre 1.3.x
The relevant code is below: byte bt = dis.readByte(); causes the error
try{
// Get URL from Server
URL uFile = new URL(sFilename);
sThisURLFile = uFile.getFile();
Integer inte = new Integer(i);
//open input stream for the file on server
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream
(uFile.openConnection().getInputStream()));
//open output stream for the file on local drive
String sFilenameOnly = sThisURLFile.substring(sThisURLFile.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
int iDotPos = sFilenameOnly.lastIndexOf(".");
String sExt;
if (iDotPos > 0) {
sExt= sFilenameOnly.substring(iDotPos);
} else {
sExt = "";
File fileOut = new File(sDownloadDir + sThisURLFile.substring(sThisURLFile.lastIndexOf('/')+1) );
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(new
BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(fileOut)));
//read one byte from input stream, and write that byte to output stream
long nByte = 0;
int iCnt = 0;
iFilesizeDone ++;
while (nByte < iFilesize){
String sErrPs = new String();
try{
sErrPs = "00";
byte bt = dis.readByte();
sErrPs = "01";
dos.writeByte(bt);
} catch (EOFException ee)
System.err.println("internal EOFException: " + ee.getMessage());
System.out.println("Error Filesize is " nByte " of " iFilesize "---" + sErrPs);
break;
nByte++;
iFilesizeDone ++;
iCnt ++;
if(iCnt >= 10240) {
ShowProgress(nByte, iFilesize, iFilesizeDone, iFilesizeTotal); // repaint does not work during init-procedure
iCnt = 0;
line = "Progress: Total: " + ((iFilesizeDone*100)/iFilesizeTotal) + " perc, " + iFilesizeTotal/1024 +" kbytes" ;
labLine.setText(line);
//dos.flush(); // improves Client performance (Agent-Call!)
dis.close();
dos.close();
}// End try
catch (EOFException ee)
System.err.println("EOFException: " + ee.getMessage()e);
catch (SecurityException se)
System.err.println("SecurityException: " + se.getMessage());
catch (IOException ioe)
System.err.println("IOException: " + ioe.getMessage());

perhaps they've changed something with the file blocking.
btw, you should try to use something like this
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(is);
byte[] buffer=new byte[8192];
int numBytesRead;
while ( dis.available()>0 ) {
numBytesRead = dis.read(buffer);
}

Peformance Turning for File Download / Upload with Enabled SharePoint Audit

Greetings all, may I ask your help for Peformance Issues?
Background:
I tried to create a ASP.NET Web Page to download/upload/list SharePoint file and deployed to IIS website in same application server (will NOT use web part as some users are NOT allowed to direct access confidential workspace)
Besides, for Audit Log record purpose, the page will impersonate (without password) the logged in user:
SPUserToken userToken = web.AllUsers[user].UserToken;
SPSite s = new SPSite(siteStr, userToken);
For File Listing, the web service can provide fast response, and we are using service A/C for connection (as no auting for listing, but require audit for file download upload)
Several implemeation options tested for File Downloiad / Upload, but issues occured and finding listed below:
Issues
1) SharePoint Object Model
When I open Site (using new SPSite), it's too slow to respond. (under 1s for all operations, but require 10~50s for open SPSIte. e.g.
using(SPSite s = new SPSite(siteStr) //50s
How can I download/upload file without open SPSite object (using SharePoint object model, but user token should be kept to allow SHarePoint identifiy user actions. e.g. Updated by Tom, NOT system administrator)?
2) SharePoint default web service
For file download, I tried to use SharePoint Web Service for download file, it's quick but how can SharePoint record the audit log to downloaded user, and not service A/C? ( e.g. View by Tom, NOT system administrator)
With Windows SSO solution, please note system should NOT prompt to ask user password for use impersonation
3) HTTP Request API (for file download)
As mentioned in point 2, if the system cannot get password from user, SharePoint also recorded service A/C in audit log... ><
Thank you for your kine attention.
.NET Beginner 3.5

Thank you for prompt response, please find my reply with Underline:
Hi,
Maybe I'm not quite clear about the architecture you have now.
Is your asp.net application deployed in separate IIS site but in the same physical server as SharePoint?
Yes
"we are using service A/C for connection", can you please explain the 'A/C'?
Domain User, Local Admin and also SharePoint Service Admin A/C
Opening SPSite is relatively slower but shouldn't take 50 sec. However it depends on your server hardware configuration. You should meet the minimum hardware requirements for SharePoint.
Assigned double resources based on minimum hardware requirements.
For details, 50s is the load test result. But for other SharePoint operation, it takes around/under 3s reponse time.
Are you using SharePoint Audit log? Exactly If so then why don't you just put the hyperlink to the documents in your asp.net page. User maybe have to login once in SharePoint site but
it depends on your security architecture. For example if both of your sites in local intranet and you are using windows integrated authentication, SSO will work automatically User is NOT allowed
to access SharePoint site/server (not implemented for sepreate server yet, as performance issues occured for
separate site in same server) directly from Internet, the
middle server with web interface created for user request.
Whatever I understands gives me the feeling that you download the file using HTTPWebRequest C# class. However regarding security it depends on how authentication is setup in asp.net web site and in sharepoint. If both site uses windows integrated security
and they are in the same server, you can use the following code snippet:
using (WebClient webClient = new WebClient())
webClient.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
webClient.DownloadFile("file ur in sharepoint", "download directory");
Thanks, will try and reply later
But still, as I've mentioned, not quite clear about the whole architecture.
A) Request Handling
1) User use browser to request file listing and/or download file (hereafter called: File Download Request) from custom ASP.NET page (Let's say In Server 1, IIS 1)
2) ASP.NET　page or File Handler ashx (Server 1, IIS 1) call custom web service, SharePoint deault/OOTB web service or using SharePoint Object Model to access SharePoint Document Library (in Server 1,
IIS 2)
3) Both SharePoint and IIS Web Site
(Server 1, IIS 1 & IIS2) using the same service A/C
4) The web service , File Handler return file obeject to IIS1
5) IIS 1 reply File Download Request to user
B) Application Architecture (In testing environment)
1) no load balancing
2) 1 DB server (Server 2)
3) 1 Application Server (with IIS 1 - ASP.NET, IIS 2, SharePoint Web Site with default SharePoint Web Service, IIS 3 SharePoint Admin Site & IIS 4 Custom SharePoint Web Service)
4) Sepreate AD Server (Server 3)

Java WebDynpro's and IE security settings for file download

We have a EP 7.0 SP13 environment on which we have deployed a number of own developed java webdynpro's. In some of these webdynpro's we provide the file download functionality. The portal and webdynpro's are used by both internal personnel and external customers.
On the other hand the default Internet security settings for Internet Explorer, disable "Automatic prompting for file downloads".
When a user, with these default security settings active, tries to use our webdynpro's file download functionality, the screen seems to refreshes but no file download starts. When (s)he retries, the session runs for some minutes and gives following error message:
"com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.session.LockException: Thread SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_20 failed to acquire exclusive lock on client session ClientSession".
This behavior is explained in SAPNote 1234847. Webdynpro provides a single-thread module, meaning a user session is blocked for the during of the request. And because the previous file download isn't yet completed the new try can't start.
Issue now, although the users IE settings allow file downloads and don't block pop up's, he can't download the file and even isn't made aware of the cause of the failure.
How can we avoid this issue, without having to communicate the
application requires specific browser settings?

Drop-down Menu to Open URL for File Download

I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5 and was wondering if it is possible to create a drop-down menu that can be used to open different URLs for file downloads, kind of like the Attachments button Presenter has. Captivate seems to have a dropdown widget available but I can't tell if this would work for this purpose.

Hi Theo
You can use any composition to create a menu with setting for show target on rollover and then link targets to specific pages.

JSF error message: Automatic prompting for file download

This is a weird problem. I have a JSF application wherin I popup a new window on a submit button.
The window opens a test.jsf page that redirects the output to a servlet1.
Servlet then based on some parameters does a sendRedirectI() to different servlets out of context.
Now the issue is that when the output is redirected to out of context servlet, that returns a file download.
If in IE browser, if one does not do a setting of "Automatic prompting for file download", this window that I had opened on submit buttton vanishes in a jiffy. If the IE setting is done, it shows the file download correctly.
I would want to show the user some kind of message by which he/she understands that this IE setting has to be done.
I have tried several ways:
1. Javascript: window.onbeforeunload on the test.jsf so that when the window unloads i can show some message. But since test.jsf forwards to servlet1, the html page generated does not show my script.
2. I also tried checking if some windows registry can help me understand the setting.
3. I tried writing in response object the javascript and then redirecting it to servlet out of context. But I guess sendRedirect() does a new request, so this did not help.
Can anyone help? I am not sure if I am able to explain my problem correctly.
Yani

Here is the result.I used your code and it worked fine with IE setting Enabled. But when I tried to access the download servlet after opening a new window, it doesnt download the file.

Any way to set up iWeb pages for file download / sharing?

I have been using .Mac Homepage to set up several web pages to share audio files with my clients. I have been able to set up a different web page for each client, each with their own password, with files there for them to download.
Is there a way to duplicate this using iWeb now that .mac homepage sites are going away? I don't want the audio to stream, I just want to make the files available for downloading, and don't see any page templates in iWeb '08 for file downloading.
I know that I can use mobileme's new file sharing feature to email links to individual files, but this doesn't work as well as having all the files downloadable on one or more web pages.

If you have all of the sites in one domain file you should be able to upload only the changed pages but it's been a while since I used 08 so don't remember. You can move each site into its own domain file so that only that site is edited and published. And if you're publishing directly to mobile me only the edited files should be uploaded.
I use iWebSites to manage over 75 individual sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. Make sure you're running the lastest version of iWeb, 2.0.4 I believe.
An example of files set up for immediate download is Toad's Cellar. Each linked is linked to a zipped file which downloads when clicked on. The site could be password protected if so desired.

Power View in SharePoint Server - The data extension type for a data source is not valid

Hi All,
All of a sudden I am getting following error when trying to create Power View report using shared report data source (no error testing the connection):
"The current action cannot be completed. The data extension type for a data source
'http://dev/Shared Ducuments/Sales.rsds' is not valid for this operation"
I already have a data source (I had created it after creating my site collection a week ago) and when I use this source to create Power View report then there is no error but I am getting above error when I create another similar data source and use it to create
a Power View report.
Please help me to resolve the error.
Thanks

I am going nuts! I had selected 'Analysis Services' instead of 'Microsoft BI Semantic Model for Power View'

Identifying the correct MIME type for file uploads

How does Apex identify the MIME type of an uploaded file? I have a page that uploads a file and accesses it via APEX_APPLICATION_FILES. That works fine. The problem is that, for certain file types, the mime_types column is "application/octet-stream" instead of the correct file type. I think it's using the Content-Type from the client browser, though I'm not quite sure. Is there any way to override this server-side in Apex?
I'm running Apex with mod_plsql. Adding an AddType directive to Apache and adding the correct association to the mime.types file did not work.

Hi,
I also noticed this - it seems that Microsoft's 4 char extensions like .docx are not being recognized by application type so that either the web server or mod-plsql is defaulting to the "application/octet-stream" mime type which refers to a file with binary content - instead of the traditional "application/msword" mime type you would expect.
If you know, at the point of insert into your database table, both the mime type and file name, one workaround would be to check if the mime type is 'application/octet-stream' and the file's extension is ".docx" or other likely extensions and then treat it as mime type 'application/msword", etc.
Not really a solution but might be sufficient workaround depending on your situation.

Data Type for File adapter

hi all,
we have a scenario which is idoc-xi-file
the output data type should be something like this:

PromoD,2000,,yup
Item,1,IGRP,,,,,,FTY,3
Tier,1,,,,,,,ITEM,,
Itemy,1,IGRP,,,,,,FTY,1,A_,100,,ELST
we have to use file content conversion parameters for this as well as this needs to be converted to a CSV file format(third party system).
any help in declaring this kind of data type(structure) and handling file content conversion parameters would be highly appreciated.
for data type if any anybody can help me build the structure or give an example!!!
would be gr8!!!
thanks in advance
