Should we create large number of folders within a list?

For a custom list having 50K item it is more convenient for user to create folders to segregate custom list items logically. But if we consider performance, is it recommended to create large number folders of within a custom list?
What are pros and cons of creating folders within a custom list?

Hi SunilKumar,
In a SharePoint list, the folder can also be seen as list item, considering to the large amount of list items existing in your list, the influence of these extra folders
to your site won’t be so apparently.
However, for a better item management, using extra columns for grouping items would be more recommended.
Best regards,

Creation of Large Number of Workbooks within short span

Hi,
In my Production server, User has created many Workbooks for their convenience.
Now, I am working on upgrading project. I want to create same amounts of workbook to my Development server. I know how to create but as quantity in thousands and connected with respective roles.
I would like to know if, there is any process to create workbooks other than usual manual process.
(I can check the list and not availability of Workbooks from TABLE AGR_HIER and after creating I can check the existence in same table.)
If any, let me know... shorted method to create lots of workbook in less time.
Thanks in Advance.

Batch process to create large number of metadata fields in UCM?

Is there any kind of scripting available to create a large number of metadata fields in UCM?.
thanks

I can give you a code in java, which adds two metadata fields. It's quite hardcoded, but you could use it as a basis for a script:
String FIELD1_NAME = "xsecretKey";
String FIELD2_NAME = "xattachmentID";
if (binder == null)
binder = new DataBinder(SharedObjects.getSafeEnvironment());
String maxOrderQuery = "select MAX(dOrder) as dOrder from DocMetaDefinition";
try
String val = loader.getDBConfigValue(COMPONENT_NAME, COMPONENT_SUBNAME, null);
//binder.putLocal("dName", FIELD1_NAME);
binder.putLocal("dName", FIELD2_NAME);
ResultSet tempRs = ws.createResultSet("Qmetadef", binder);
if (val == null || tempRs.isEmpty())
ResultSet rset = ws.createResultSetSQL(maxOrderQuery);
String orderStr = ResultSetUtils.getValue(rset, "dOrder");
int order = NumberUtils.parseInteger(orderStr, 0);
setNewFieldParams(binder, "BigText", "secretKey", "<$dateCurrent()*1$>");
addNewMetadataField(FIELD1_NAME, binder, ++order, null, null, ws, cxt);
setNewFieldParams(binder, "Text", "attachmentID", null);
addNewMetadataField(FIELD2_NAME, binder, ++order, null, null, ws, cxt);
rset = ws.createResultSetSQL("select * from DocMeta where dID=0");
if (!testResultSetFieldExists(rset, FIELD1_NAME))
FieldInfo fi[] = loader.createFieldInfo(new String[] {
FIELD1_NAME
}, 200);
//fi[0].m_type = 5;
ws.alterTable("DocMeta", fi, null, new String[] {
"dName"
if (!testResultSetFieldExists(rset, FIELD2_NAME))
FieldInfo fi[] = loader.createFieldInfo(new String[] {
FIELD2_NAME
}, 30);
//fi[0].m_type = 3;
ws.alterTable("DocMeta", fi, null, new String[] {
"dName"
loader.setDBConfigValue(COMPONENT_NAME, COMPONENT_SUBNAME, "7.0", "1");
catch (Exception e)

Create large number of 3D PDF files

I have about 50000 step files that I would like to convert into 3D PDF files. Is there any good way to do this? We move about 2000 of them into a temp directory, then tried using Adobe 3D using Batch processing. First we tried selecting the files and found that there is a limit to the number of files that can be selected (we selected all of the files, however it gave an error that a file did not exist, and the error name displayed was part of a file name. It looks like the file selection dialog appends the file names into a string, and the maxium string length is too short for 2000 names). We also tried using a batch sequence which specified the directory. This ran for about an hour then died, with about 1/2 of the files converted. So based on these tests it looks like I will have to manually move the files into sub directories of about 500 files each, then batch process each directory (should be a fun couple of weeks). Has anyone else found a better way to do this?

Polling interval is 60 seconds.
Do I have full permission? What is the user ID that XI uses? The files are placed in the XI server so this should not be a problem, I think.
I also have "Process Read-only Files" turned on.
The files are coming from the same exact source so if this was the problem I would expect this to happen with every single file.
Yes, I'm doing CC, but nothing fancy, all the lines have the same structure and they are just moved to an identical XML structure.
In RWB I only see the "successful" messages for whatever actually got picked up, no errors.
This morning 2 of the 252 files got picked up. However at the same time 325 files of another interface did get picked up and succesfully processed.
I also changed this morning the file permissions on these 250 remaining files to rw-rw-rw- but still nothing happened (it used to be rw-rw-r--)
I'm still in the dark...
Thanks,
Viktor

Re: How to create large number of Oracle R12 EBS users in mass?

Hi All,
I know this is quite old thread, but I'm in a situation where I have to create multiple users and attached more than one different responsibilites to use in EBS. Definately fnd_user_pkg this is the package we have to use in loop.
I'm planning to create one table let's say user_info where it would have mulitple columns like username, password, start_date, end_date, responsibilites etc.(through SQL loader), so my question is how to call this table in loop ?? (I don't have much experience in PL/SQL Coding )
again one user would be having multiple responsibilites then how that is to be taken care ?
yours help would be appreciated...

Search the forum or previous threads (or even Google) and I'm sure you will find many examples.

How can I copy a large number of contacts into a list in the address book?

I want to send a message to a large fraction of the people in my address book. How do I copy their addresses into a new list without doing it by hand?

Thanks for your answer. It works very poorly. I have tried a number of permutations, and each one fails in some way. If I try to copy ten names, it may just write the first few. if I highlight all the names in the source book, then the list name doesn't highlight when I move my cursor over it - only the other address books do that. I got the closest to success by exporting my entire source address book to a text file, removing the unwanted names by hand, and then importing only a few fields to a new address book - name and email address. When I highlight all the entries in this new address book and drag them to the target list, it copies MOST but not all of the entries. I have never seen drag and drop work so poorly. Any ideas?

Any idea what could be wrong?

I have to create 2,000 folders in a user INBOX and 7 sub-folders in each oneWhy would you do this? What could a single-user possibly need that many folders for?
If there is not limit in the number of folders, this 14,000 folders can be used by Communication Express or Messenger ExpressA large number of folders will result in an equally large amount of javascript for the web-browser/web-server to process when viewing the folder list. This may cause the web-browser to time-out making access via the web-interfaces unusable e.g. Firefox will produce a pop-up if it takes over a certain time-period to crunch through the javascript.

TestStand crashes when a SequenceCall step that counts failures within a list

I have TestStand 4.0 and TestStand 4.1 installed on my system, as does everyone else in my department. I am the only one with a 64bit machine and cannot execute a sequence in 4.0 that I can execute in 4.1. Everyone else can execute the sequence in both. The sequence generates a report and TestStand crashes when the sequence reaches a step that performs a sequence call which counts the number of failures within a list (array).
We are fresh out of ideas. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If more information is needed, please ask.
Thanks!

When you say '64-bit machine' do you mean 64-bit Operating System?
If so, which 64-bit operating system are you using, XP x64 or Vista x64?
TestStand 4.0.1f1 is only supported on Windows 2000 and XP x86.
TestStand 4.1 is supported on Windows 2000, XP x86, Vista x86, and Vista x64.
If you are trying to use XP x64, we have not tested it, and it is not guaranteed to work in all cases. If you are using Vista x64, then it is expected that TestStand 4.1 will work, but TestStand 4.0.1f1 was never tested with any version of Vista, and so may not work.

How do you create folders within a folder on Pages?

I have the lates version of Pages.
I have a number of documents in folders ie for each month. I would like to create another folder ie for each year and place all the folders into it. So basically, can I or how do I create a folder to place folders to organize my Pages.
Thank you

Folder organisation is done in Finder, not from within Pages, although you can create a new folder from within the Save dialog box in most programs.

Can I create folders within iWorks applications?

How do you create folders within Pages or Number? I want to file documents locally by category.

I'm certain you're aware of this already - if not, the new update (version 1.4) allows creation of folders within Pages, allowing you to group relevant documents to your own specification. Hope it helps (...sure has for me!)

HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

How do I create new versions of a large number of images, and place them in a new location?

Hello!
I have been using Aperture for years, and have just one small problem. There have been many times where I want to have multiple versions of a large number of images. I like to do a color album and B&W album for example.
Previously, I would click on all the images at one, and select new version. The problem is this puts all of the new versions in a stack. I then have to open all the stacks, and one by one move the new versions to a different album. Is there any way to streamline this proccess? When it's only 10 images, it's no problem. When it's a few hundred (or more) its rather time consuming..
What I'm hoping for is a way to either automatically have new versions populate a separate album, or for a way to easily select all the new versions I create at one time, and simply move them with as few steps as possible to a new destination.
Thanks for any help,
Ricardo

Ricardo,
in addition to Kirby's and phosgraphis's excellent suggestions, you may want to use the filters to further restrict your versions to the ones you want to access.
For example, you mentioned
I like to do a color album and B&W album for example.
You could easily separate the color versions from the black-and-white versions by using the filter rule:
Adjustment includes Black&white
or
Adjustment does not include Black&white
With the above filter setting (Add rule > Adjustment includes Black&White) only the versions with Black&White adjustment are shown in the Browers. You could do similar to separate cropped versions from uncropped ones.

Léonie
