SharePoint 2007 Old Content

We have recently removed our SharePoint 2007 server from our production environment since it's no longer being used. It seems though, I need to copy some documents over from this server that are missing on the new SharePoint site. What is the
best way to access the content in SharePoint 2007 which is no longer on the network, without brining it back to the production environment?
I did try localhost in the browser on the local server (it's a Windows 2003 server) without any luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
James

Hello,
If you have removed the server then only content DB can help you to get the documents. If you have back up of that site content DB then create a new web application in any SP server and attach the old content DB to new web app. Then you can copy the site
contents.
As per my knowledge there is no other way.

Sharepoint 2007 as content server for DMS?

Hi,
Knowing Sharepoint 2003 is not able to act as DMS content server.
Does any know if the new Sharepoint 2007 has this function to act as DMS content server?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ronald

Hi Espen,
iam also coming across the same requirement where in client is already using SharePoint as a common document Managing software,
in your Case as You have solved the Problem, did you buy a new server and installed content servewr in it, and integrate it to Share Point server?
or did you use the Same existing share point server to install content server on it,
i guess in that case there will be duplication of all the Original files,
one, the original file is Available in the Share Point server. and Secondly, the same original file is checked in into the storage catagories if the same share Point server is defined as Storage medium for SAP DMS, ie same Share Point server acting as Content or Archive server.
please help me in Understanding the things clear iam little bit confused,
Alternatively to access the Documents in the Share Point server and Store the same original File in the Content server (or it can be the same SharePoint Server acting as Content server(installing the content server CD on the Share Point server)). can we go to create 2 Datacarrier and Datacarrier types,
one to Bring the original document from the share point server to the DeskTop of the User.
second to check in the Same document through SAP transaction CV01N, here again should we define another Data Carrier and Data Carrier type, (like the share Point server or Content server used again to check in the original Through SAP DMS CV01N,
iam confused as i have only worked on storing external files which is in the Frontend system in to an Content server only,
Points for Sure,
Thanks in Advance,

Sharepoint 2007 as Content repository for KM

Hello
Any one know if it is possible to define Sharepoint as repository for KM (EP7 SP10)?

Hi Erez,
I am not sure about the interoperability between Sharepoint 2007 and EP7 SP10. But there is a document about the interoperability of older versions. Find it <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9e891378-0601-0010-5386-a3387f1b161b">here</a>.
Basically, SAP Knowledge Management can be used as a WebDAV server or a WebDAV client. In a scenario as a WebDAV client, SAP KM provides an access to documents stored on other WebDAV-enabled servers. For this purpose, you use the WebDAV repository
manager.
The setting up the access to documents in SharePoint Document Libraries does not dif-
fer from the default procedure and comprises following steps:
     Define an HTTP system in the CM system landscape.
     Create a cache for the WebDAV repository manager.
     Configure the repository manager parameters for the WebDAV repository man-
        ager.
That should still work for the new versions of Sharepoint and EP.
Hope I could help!
Best regards,
Martin

SharePoint 2007 Content deployment Error: 'A folder with the name already exists.

Hi, In SharePoint 2007 one Content deployment job is failed with below error:
Content deployment job 'Remote import job for job with sourceID = some id' failed.The exception thrown was 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException' : 'A folder with the name PublishingImages/AEI-2014/Blue already exists.'
From last 3 days I am getting this error and previously this Job was running without any Error.
In Import Log file getting message: "FatalError: A folder with the name PublishingImages/sg-2015/yellow already exists."
Please tell me how to resolve the issue.

Hello,
It seems same folder exist in destination server that's why job is failing. You need to check destination server and remove the same name/GUID from site then try again.
See this technet for more info: (see "Conflicting content on source and destination" section)

Master Page Gallery contents renders in old Sharepoint 2007 style after upgrade

I have a site collection that is still rendering the Master Page Gallery items in the Sharepoint 2007 style instead of the Sharepoint 2013 style, and I can't pinpoint where this is coming from. I'm sure it's from a resource that was customized some
time before our Sharepoint 2010 upgrade, preventing the view from upgrading properly at this point. I'm looking for advice on where to look to get to the root of this issue.
Possibly other libraries are affected, but it is most apparent in the Master Page Gallery.
Here's what the items should look like in Sharepoint 2013. In html, the item name column dropdown menus are populated with div elements, and it has a blue background dropdown arrow when hovering over it.
Here's what this site collection renders. In html, the item name column dropdown menus are populated using table elements, and it has a solid border with a different dropdown arrow when hovering over it.
Functionality wise, this is preventing master pages and page layouts from being checked in and checked out and approved from this view. I'm only able to do these changes using the sitemanager page for this site collection right now.
Other information:
- There are other site collections and web applications in this same farm that are not affected, so I don't believe it is a modification made in the hive files
- I've tried making new views of the master page gallery with no success
- I've compared the contents of the AllItems.aspx form in this collection with the AllItems.aspx in a working collection and could not find any difference.
- I suspected that the ListViewWebPart is not current, but I can't find where I can check on this and possibly reset it to site definition. I reviewed all webparts in the _catalogs\wp gallery but can't find a webpart in there that is named ListViewWebPart.
So, the million dollar question is where else should I be checking to get to the bottom of this? Thanks!

Hi Brad ,
For your issue, you can view the Upgrade Status page in Site Settings to verify that upgrade has succeeded for a site collection.
To view upgrade status in Site Settings
1.Verify that the user account that performs this procedure is a site collection administrator.
2.On the Site Settings page for the site collection, in the Site Collection Administration section, click Site collection upgrade.
3.On the Site Collection Upgrade page, click Review Site Collection Upgrade Status.
4.The Upgrade Status page for the site collection is displayed.
For more information, see
Manage site collection upgrades to SharePoint 2013
Also you can go to _layouts/15/reghost.aspx (Site Settings -> Site Actions -> Reset to site definition) and reset the master page gallery to site definition version.

Remove bad dll reference after content data migration sharepoint 2007 - sharepoint 2010

I have 400 subsites under one root site and we need to remove one DLL reference from default.aspx Home page of each sub site.
Assmbly ref like this.
<%@ Register TagPrefix="WpNs0" Namespace="DS.DSQueryWebPart" Assembly="DS.DSQueryWebPart, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=709ed70a96eaa5cb"%>
This assmebly is not used anywhere .
This assembly is reflecting in subsite default.aspx after the content database migration sharepoint 2007 to sharepoint 2010.
Is there any way we can remove this bad reference through database query or any other way around
sarav

Hi,
If are sure that this is the only customization in the default.aspx page, then you can safely go into Site Settings -> Site Actions -> Reset to site definition -> Select Reset specific page to site definition version and enter the default.aspx
page url. This will replace the customized page with the original site definition page. The process can be automated using PowerShell/C# Code. Here is an example:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://aissp2013/sites/Team/"))
foreach(SPWeb web in site.AllWebs)
using(web)
SPFile file = web.GetFile(web.Url + "/default.aspx");
if (file.Exists)
file.RevertContentStream();
The main part here is to get hold of the default.aspx file and use RevertContentStream() to reset it to site definition page.
However, if there are other customizations as well, then you will need to get hold of the Project or WSP file and remove the reference there and then run update-spsolution powershell command to update to new WSP.

Please Help!! Lists and libraries suddenly blocked just before migrating from SharePoint 2007 to 2010

Hi all,
I took several weeks preparing the migration of a large farm from SharePoint 2007 to 2010 using the system of restore databases and mount site collections. I've built the new farm and I have done several full migration tests to verify that all was well the
day of final migration.
The farm consists of three virtual servers: one with SQL Server 2012 and two with SharePoint Server 2010. Upon completion of the tests we've moved the servers to another network. We have turned on the servers and everything seems to work fine.
Just the day of the final migration I wanted to check the HealtReports list of the Central Administration, and when I wanted to look up an alert, the view window has not shown me anything and ribbon has appeared with all options grayed. Days ago worked fine.
Alarmed by this, I have started to check all lists and libraries in the Central Administration and the same happens. I can not view or change the items, nor add. Neither I can change the properties of the lists or libraries, as if everything was locked. I
tried on the main site collection and same thing happens, and I have tried with several user with Total Control permissions. I have also verified that the site collection was not in ReadOnly mode.
I have restored a site collection from SharePoint 2007 and have migrated successfully to 2010. Before applying visual upgrade I found that the content is also locked. It is as if he had changed anything in the configuration of the whole farm, but I can not
find what. The Event Viewer of the three server shows no errors related to this. The SharePoint LOGS not show anything unusual.
I do not know where to look and urges me to find a solution because the old servers must be out of service soon. I accept any suggestions.
Kind regards.

Finally I answer myself because I've already found and fixed the problem. Before moving the servers in farm to the another network I've unplugged the single SharePoint server from the farm database for to clone it. Apparently
this disconnection removes all the implemented solutions and the farm remains without servers. Reconnecting the servers not re-implements the solutions. When I was about to create a new farm I have seen that all solutions were not implemented,
I have implemented one by one and the system worked again.
If any of you happen reaches you, now you know what it may be due.
Kind regards!! Now I'm a happy man! ;)

How to migrate search configuration and db from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010

hi all
currently we have a plan to migrate sharepoint 2007 farm to sharepoint 2010 with sp2 version. we have used the ssp, and only the search function.
Now the search db is quite big.
we have to use the database attach way to do migraion, because the old system must be online in 24 hours per day.
what i want to know is can we migrate the search db directly instead of recreate content source and reconfigure the search and do full crawl?
thanks.

SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) migration to SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hi
I have a requirement to migrate a SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) farm to a SharePoint Foundation 2013 farm. The WSS 3.0 farm has SQL Server 2005 Standard running so no restrictions on the size of the content database. The SharePoint Foundation 2010 and 2013 farms
will share the same SQL Server 2012 Standard instance (as I know WSS 3.0 will have to be migrated to 2010 before 2013). I also have two other WSS 3.0 farms (so three WSS 3.0 Farms, lets call these A (250GB), B (90GB) and C (60GB)) that I need to migrate
into WSS 3.0 Farm A before the migration to SP 2010.
My question is, can I migrate a 400GB WSS 3.0 site collection to SP 2010 or will I have to split this into separate site collections? I have read that there is a best practice limit of 100GB per site collection but this does not stop a larger migration from
happening. Obviously over time when the migration has completed to SharePoint Foundation 2013 the single site collection will grow and grow so perhaps now is the right time to split this out into, say, year named site collections, but surely this will incur
an end of year process to create new site collections and a custom dev headache due to different locations to send newly created sites?
Thanks.

The answer is Yes, and you are correct about the best practice of a limit of 100GB,
although, document and record centers (e.g. non collaborative) can go much higher.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office.15).aspx#ContentDB
That being what it is, your sites will perform better if you find a topology that allows the content databases to be under 100GB each. You can use Move-SPSite to accomplish that feat.
You'll want a separate instance for 2010 and a separate instance for 2013
and finally, put some quota's in place and then governance document\statement that informs users that 100 GB is the max for any given site collection that uses collaborative features (calendars, lists, workflows, etc.)
The simple path is explained on technet, go from 2007 to 2010 (you can inplace upgrade if you want) then go from 2010 to 2013, database detach and attach is only way.
please check the below link that explains more about the migration from share point 2007->2013.

How to auto populate data from one list in SharePoint 2007 into another list based on a key value?

Hi,
As a part of new requirement in my project I am supposd to work on SharePoint 2007. I have one List (BCExtract - Main list) with all data related to an Application (like ID, name, app manager RTO etc).
I have created another list which has form to be filled by a user (with details about his/her applications). My requirement is that when the user enters AIT ID then the page should refresh (probably after hitting enter) and other details like Application
name, RTO etc which is present in another list gets auto populated depending on the AIT ID (unique column) entered so reduce the burden on the user.
Please suggest me how this can be done. I do not have permission for obtaining SharePoint Designer and I do not know JQuery. Infopath is ok but if this can be done through SharePoint 2007 alone then it would be great.
Thanks....

Hello,
You can either use jquery/jaavscript or infopath form to achieve this. There is no default way to do this.
I would suggest jquery because you can put script in newform/editfor.aspx page using content editor webpart. Refer this link for jquery:
To get value from list:

http://www.robertkuzma.com/2010/08/read-list-items-using-sharepoint-web-services-and-jquery/
To set value in column:
http://paulgalvinsoldblog.wordpress.com/2009/06/13/quick-and-easy-use-jquery-to-set-a-text-field%E2%80%99s-value-on-a-sharepoint-form/
http://spservices.codeplex.com/discussions/468729
If you use infopath form, then you need to create two data connection to get data from both lists. Later you can set value in fields based on selection using rule. This can be possible without code.
Hope it could help

Unable to edit document from SharePoint 2007 using Office 2013 and IE 11

I am getting the following error when I try to edit a document from SharePoint 2007: "Edit document
requires a Windows Sharepoint services-compatible application and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater". I am using Windows 7 with Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 11. Troubleshooting steps that I've tried so far (that haven't worked) are as follows:
1) repaired Office; 2) switched from 64 bit version of IE to 32 bit version; 3) moved the owssupp.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15; 4) tried removing old versions of Office (but
I still need to use Office Communicator 2007 r2 and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the Office14 files from Program Files); and 5) running SharePoint in IE compatibility mode. Please advise...thanks!

Hi,
It seems you installed mixed version Office2007/2010/2013 on your client machine?
I would suggest you remove all Office 2007 and 2010 version, and reinstall Office 2013(include Office Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support component) on your machine, and make sure "Open SharePointDocuments class" add-on is enabled
from IE11, then check if it could fix the issue.
If above works, please test again after installing the Office Communicator 2007 r2 on your machine.

Sharepoint 2007 list error - The '}' character, hexadecimal value 0x7D, cannot be included in a name. Line 1, position 440.

Hi Everyone,
We have a sharepoint 2007 deployment which in general has been fine since it was built.
Version is 12.0.0.6421 (MOSS 2007 SP2 (KB953334 & KB953338))
on a Windows 2003 R2 SP2 server.
We created a list a while back to store information for our servers but for some reason it now has an error.
the symptoms are:
1) Navigating to the list and choosing any view (a few custom views), we can see the data fine
2) Creating new items or modifying existing items brings up:
An unexpected error has occurred.
3) Trying to access the list settings brings up:
An unexpected error has occurred.
4) Using "view all site content" and clicking on the list brings up:
The '}' character, hexadecimal value 0x7D, cannot be included in a name. Line 1, position 440.
I've attempted to search for the error online but the error doesn't bring back anything specific to Sharepoint.
My gut feeling is either a corruption of the list or a user has entered an invalid character in one of the list entries, but I cannot amend the list in any way.
Ordinarily I would advise the user to re-create the list and enter the information from scratch, however this list contains alot of information and is crucial to the server teams documentation.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I should be focusing my search efforts? I did check the logs and couldn't see any obvious entries for this list.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Carl

Posted this a few weeks back - would appreciate any suggestions?
Thanks,

Problems opening PDFs from SharePoint 2007 with Acrobat X Pro

We are currently migrating to Windows 7 x86, Acrobat X Pro, and Office Pro Plus 2010 SP1. Our old setup is Windows XP, Acrobat 8 Pro, and Office 2007. We are using SharePoint 2007. On our older machines, we are able to open and edit PDFs without any problems. However, on our newer machines with Acrobat X, we get this error whenever we open a PDF for editing:
The document could not be opened for editing. A Windows SharePoint Services compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
All of our XP users can open and edit documents without any problems--only our newly migrated Windows 7 users are unable to edit these documents. Is there a setting that I need to adjust in Acrobat X? I don't recall seeing any Acrobat X specific options in SharePoint configuration. Thanks!
EDIT: I was able to open and edit a PDF document using the following steps:
1. Click drop-down menu next to document and select "Check Out."
2. In the check-out dialog box, check "Use my local drafts folder." Click OK.
3. Back in SharePoint, click on document to open--click OK to message warning about malicious files.
4. Edit document, then click Save button. Close Acrobat.
5. Back in SharePoint, click drop-down menu next to document and select "Check In."
6. Confirm the check-in.
7. Redirected back to document library and the modified date and by fields are updated.
This seems like an awful amount of steps. Is there a way to make this function the same when a user edits a Word or Excel document?
Message was edited by: jprateragg
Added info under EDIT.

In Acrobat X, SharePoint Integration has been added which allows users to check-out/check-in the document from within Acrobat. Clicking the file from document library in Internet Explorer opens the file in Acrobat. The configuration that needs to be done on the SharePoint server is explained in the following KB article in section 11.1.
