Syncing behaviour/direction of individual content type in iTunes

Hi fellows. I wish to clarify my understanding of how iTunes sync (overwrite) the individual content type on an iPod. The scenario is: when I sync an iPod with another new library, typically we will be prompted with the warning message, "+this iPod is currently synced with another library. If you choose to sync it with this library, all the existing content will be replaced with the content on this library+" (or some similar warning). My doubts are as follows:
Qn1. Am I right to say that, even if I click "okay" to that warning message above, the actual "replacing" +doesn't start immediately+ as iTunes will wait for the user to select what subset of content he wants, & more importantly, for the user to click the "sync" button (near the bottom right of iTunes) before the actual erasing and replacing begins?
Qn2. Does iTunes treat each content type as separate libraries, i.e. in the context of "approving" iTunes's demand to overwrite the existing content on the iPod with content from iTunes own, current library, if the "sync" checkbox on the other content type's tab is unchecked, will that existing content type stored on the iPod be excluded from the erasing and replacing?
I understand this may be very confusing, so allow me to illustrate my question with a specific example:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/ralliart12/blog180610/iTunes%20library%20revisit/initially_unchked_for_unpairedipod.png
If I choose to sync music from the current iTunes library to an iPod that was previously synced with another library, and I approved iTunes to go ahead and replace the existing music on the iPod with the music from the iTunes library but I have the "Sync Apps" checkbox unchecked, will the apps +on the iPod+ be wiped? Similarly, if the "sync movies" checkbox on the Movie tab is unchecked, will the movies on the iPod be wiped when I allow iTunes to replace the music library on the iPod with the songs from iTunes?
Qn2a. If iTunes treat syncing each content type libraries on their own, are music and movies treated as one library?
Qn2b. What determines the initial "checked/unchecked" status of each of those check-boxes in the diagram above when an iPod that is synced with another library, is connected to iTunes for the first time?
In fact (this paragraph is not a qn; just a comment) I find the manner in which this is handled in iTunes to be inelegant. E.g. suppose in the context of qn2 iTunes treat all content type libraries as one unified library, and once I give iTunes the permission to erase the songs on the iPod with the songs from its current library but say I don't wanna replace the apps on the iPod with the apps from this iTunes library; neither do I wish to replace the podcasts on the iPod with the podcasts on this iTunes library. I can goto the "Apps" tab and uncheck "Sync Apps", but I could not goto the "Podcasts" tab and uncheck "Sync podcasts" without committing/applying the updated aps syncing conditions first. So if the "Sync podcasts" checkbox was checked for some reason, the podcatss on the iPod will be replaced with podcasts from the iTunes library without my "permission".
For those who are veterans with this sync-ing behaviour stuff, I sincerely hope to gain some insight as to how iTunes behaves (in these contexts above). Thanks n advance.

I'm going to duck out of giving you a definitive answer on the grounds that I don't really know and I don't have the resources or time to check the details. However I may still have something to offer. As you've observed the process is more than a little obscure, but the safest option is to assume that if you attempt to move your device from syncing with one library to syncing with another you will lose all the existing media content on the device.
The exact details will ultimately depend on the type of device. For example, while many can be *manually managed* with more than one library the iPhone (and I think the Shuffle) can only take content from one library even in this mode. More particularly when you manually add content to an iPhone every file that you have on the device will be compared with it's "original" in your library and if there isn't a matching file the one on the device will be removed. In contrast on a "synced" iPod Classic you could (not that it's a good idea) remove larger physical files such as movies once they've been synced to the device and, although iTunes might issue a warning, it will not remove the existing files as long as there are still coresponding entries in the library.
With the exception of the transfer of purchased content all sync operations are strictly library to device. iTunes will have a good go at throwing away your data given half a chance. For this reason I strongly urge that you make backups of your library and media files and certainly never rely on the device to hold the only copy of any of your precious files.
It's not clear why you want this information, but if you're determined to tease out the finer details then it shouldn't be too hard for you to create a number of small distinct test libraries and actually try it out for yourself. If the issue is that you simply want the freedom to update your device from more than one computer then this is perfectly feasible. Simply put your entire library on an external (preferably host powered) usb drive and take it with you. I take one further step and sync my library with my local drive at each end using SyncToy 2.1 so that I end up with 3 mutual backups for the same library, one at home, one at work, and the one I carry between them. I can open any of the three libraries on my PCs or connect the portable version to any computer running the same build of iTunes to update any of my devices without losing any content.

Content Type Question

I created a term set called 'Document Category' that has 10 different terms (e.g. Quote, Agreement, Diagram, etc.) that describe the types of documents users save into our main document library. I then created 10 different Content Types, each with it's
own template, so, from the doc library, users can click Files > New, and choose the appropriate content type to create a document. I want to be able to sort in the library using a custom column I created, called 'Document Category', that links to the 'Document
Category' managed metadata term set. When users create a new document based on one of the content types, I want the 'Document Category' field automatically populated in the Document Information Panel with the correct term. My problem is that I can't find a
way of getting each individual content type to default to it's matching term. I can set the custom column to use a default value (e.g. Quote) so it comes up automatically filled in for the 'Quote' content type. Because I'm linking the 'Agreement' content type
to the same custom column, though, it obviously then defaults to 'Quote', too. I was hoping to have a different term linked to each content type. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Pete

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to set the 'Document Category' field automatically.
I recommend to create SharePoint 2010 Platform workflow and then set an empty Managed Metadata column using the following format: Term Name| Unique Identifier based on the item content type.
You can create workflow as below and start the workflow automatically when an item is created:
Thank you for your understanding.

Custom Property in Microsoft Word 2010 Document Template and Sharepoint 2010 Content Type not Syncing up

I wrote a macro in a Word 2010 template with a custom property called HeaderFooter (a Yes/No value). When the property is changed to No, the header and footer are hidden, otherwise, the header and footer are displayed.
I added the template to a SharePoint 2010 Document library, with a content type DocInformation and a column name HeaderFooterOffOn that I want to map to the custom property HeaderFooter in the Word Document.
The macro isn't working in SharePoint, though, because when the user clicks on the HeaderFooterOffOn in the DIP of the Word Document, the Word Custom Property (HeaderFooter) isn't changing with it.
How do I get these two synced up, so that when the SharePoint column is changed, the Word Document's custom property simultaneously updates with it?

Hi kevinkevinc,
There is no direct way to run macro in SharePoint
As a workaround, I suggest you use SharePoint Event Receiver to run some custom code when column changed.

Sync error with Workspace "Data in this list references content type "", which is no longer in the list schema"

Dear,
I saved a document library containing folders and files as a template to use it as a template when I created a document library. It contains a lot of folders and files.
When I tried the document library to sync with workspace it gives an error "Data in this list references content type "", which is no longer in the list schema"
I checked with this error and I found out that it has issue with onenote file, but my library does not contain any onenote file.
I wonder if there is any issue regarding the number of folders to sync at a time because when I tried to sync with document library similar to the big library but lesser folders and files.
Thanks

This is caused by certain OneNote files. I've filed a support ticket on this. See my
post on possible workarounds. You might view the entire library in windows explorer or flatten the folder structure in a view to confirm that there are not any OneNote related files.

How do you *unset* Content-Type when using HttpURLConnection ?

Hi people,
I am using HttpURLConnection to set some http headers. It all works fine except that this utility is setting Content-type to text/html even though I cam not coding it to do so. I can overwrite Content-type by setting it to say, a blank, explicitly in the code, but Content-type still appears as a header (eg if I view the headers in a proxy.)
My question is - how do you completely unset Content-Type? Here's the code snippet :
URL url = new URL("http://mymachine-uk.uk.company.com:24331/test.html");
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
con.setIfModifiedSince(longdate); // I've set up longdate previously
// set some headers
con.setRequestProperty("Cache-Control","max-age=0");
con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0");
con.setRequestProperty("Keep-Alive","300");
// I've tried hacking it like this :
// con.setRequestProperty("Content-type",null);
// but that just shows an empty Content-type, rather than get rid of it.
// In a proxy window on port 24331, the three headers set explicitly above
// all show up correctly. But Content-type:text/html is also shown, even though not coded.
// If I fire off the same page request from a browser, Content-type ISN'T set.
// so there must be a way of doing it :-) Help!
thanks.

Hi there,
thanks very much for trying this, the background to this is as follows :
I am testing a software server caching product which is giving me weird behaviour; the actions the cache performs are supposed to be based on the various http headers. I am using a debug proxy ("Charles") (limited freeware-for-a-short-period) to see exactly what http headers are being set by the calling browser, or in this case, the java program. I am setting the headers directly in the code above to match what my browser is setting, as revealed by Charles. Trouble is, I'm getting different reponses back: The browser gets a http 304 from the cache and my java program gets a 200, so I have obviously failed to emulate the browser.. and the only difference I can see is that the Conetnt-Type is not set when I call the page from internet explorer, but with my program above, Content-Type is set, to a default of text/html. I want to get rid of it so I have copied the browser http header settings 100%.
- I tried compiling this code and running it from the prompt (outside of development environment) and Content-Type is still showing up. So from what you are saying... if your attempt does not set this.. then it looks like Content-type must be getting set via some other means?
thankyou :-)

How to Keep Content Types Current with Updated Data

Let’s say that I have four content types—content type 1, content type 2, content type 3, and content type 4—all based on the same list, say list A.
Each content type has its own workflow.
When the workflow for content type 1 is completed, the data is saved to an individual item, say item Z, in a separate list, list B.
When the workflow for content type 2 is completed, the data is saved to the same item (item Z) in list B. The reason that there are two lists is that the creation of content types causes new items to be created, but the each
new item must reference data from the previous item. That means that data has to be copied from the first item to the second item. But what happens to the data in the second item when data from the first item is changed? The solution is to have a single item
in another list to which all content types write their data.
What I need to know is how can all the content types retrieve data from list B when those content types are based on list A? For example, let's say that content type 3 uses data originally input through content type 1. As the
user inputs and saves data through content type 3 he sees data that had been originally input through content type 1. Another user then accesses content type 1 to update and save data through it. When content type 3 is opened again that user will not see the
updated data entered through content type 1 because it is tied to a different item. The solution seems to be for all content types to save their data to the same item in another list. But then how can those content types be designed so that when they open
they show updated data from List B when those content types are based on List A?
Other applications have the notion of a folder containing all the up-to-date data fields. Another way to look at this problem is to state what SharePoint 2007 does to mimic the notion of a folder.

Thanks for responding, but I don't think that the solution provided solves my problem. What you described will keep the item in List B in sync with the changes made to List A. However, the content types from List A will not be in sync when they are opened
from List A. Say content type 1 makes changes to various fields. When content type 3 opens it displays some of the fields that content type 1 changed; however, content type 3 and content type 1 by definition display different items--and those items are not
in sync. Either I have to copy the updated item from List B back to the related items in List A or there has to be another solution.
Is it possible to have a workflow update all the items in a list based on a key field whenever changes are made to that item. Say content types 1, 2, 3, and 4 already exist and each refers to a different item in List A, but they are "tied" together
by a key field. When content type 1 is reopened and changes are made, is it possible to iterate over the items in a list to find other items whose key field matches the key field from content type 1? If so, then when matching items are found the fields in
them can be updated by the same changes made to content type 1.
If this latter scenario is possible, how is that iteration set up in a SharePoint 2007 workflow? Thanks again.

Look up column in Content Type Hub

Hi,
Would like to know whether look up columns are supported /not supported in content type hub.
Currently I am having few columns in my doc.libs which uses look up column and i want to implement content type hub.
heard that this is a limitation in CTH.
Can anyone from MS pls confirm.
and at the same time if I want to use the look up column functionality and implement CTH, any alternatives available.
help is highly appreciated!

Hi,
Please refer to the following article, it might help

Content type, list definition and List instance - query

Dear all,
I created a list content type, list definition and list instance for a SessionsList.
I did mistake when created a event receiver file where field name is RegistrationsInfo - did typo error as RegistrationInfo. This field I want to make it as false in the ShowInNewForm= false
When I deploy it with event receiver file - I am getting stack trace error stating that the RegistrationsInfo field is missing.
Without event receiver file - when I deploy the solution and checked the field name - it is showing rightly as RegistrationsInfo.

Can somebody help me - how to overcome the RegistrationsInfo missing field - error(in the stack trace) when activating the feature in the training site?
Thanks

Hi Sathya,
Seems the field “RegistrationsInfo” is not been found when deploying with Event Receiver, a possible reason is that it might be damaged.
As a workaround, I suggest you retract the solution from your farm, make sure the “RegistrationsInfo” field is deleted using PowerShell, then create another project with the same
content and perform the deployment again.
About how to delete a field using PowerShell for your reference:

Feel free to reply if there any progress.

SAAJ0537: Invalid Content-Type. Could be an error message instead of a SOAP

Hi,
At present i am using JCAPS version 5.1.1
com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: Invalid Content-
Type:text/html. Is this an error message instead of a SOAP response?
I got above error message while invoking the webservice.
My intention is to get HttpRequest from user and based on the input from user, a web service should be invoked. For this i am using BusinessProcess[einsight]
In my BusinessProcess, i have HttpServer processRequest service,
to receive HTTP requests and then i am passing the value of parameter received from http[As String] to next partner which is responsible for invoking a webservice.[Used a wsdl in client mode]
I am able to get http request successfully , but i got error while invoking web service.
Please let me know, what to do for rectifying error.

Although this is an aged topic, this is plaguing our development efforts currently. I have successfully created a webservice that can be executed externally using the generated wsdl but I am unable to get a JCD to execute the WS without getting the following error:

Is anybody else having this same error and how was it resolved? Both my client and server settings seems to be in sync. My only iffy piece is the servlet context. For both client and server external components, host, port, servlet context match. What am I missing??

Error consuming Web service - content type text/xml;charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding

Hi all,
We are trying to interact with Documentum server through DFS exposed WCF which communicates through port 9443 and we are provided with documentum issued Public Key certificates. We have successfully imported the certificates in client machine and configured
the bindings as below in our .Net web application config file.
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding
name="ObjectServicePortBinding1">
<security
mode="Transport">
<transport
clientCredentialType="None"
proxyCredentialType="None"
realm=""
/>
<message
clientCredentialType="Certificate"
algorithmSuite="Default"
/>
</security>
</binding>
<binding
name="QueryServicePortBinding">
<security
mode="Transport">
<transport
clientCredentialType="None"
proxyCredentialType="None"
realm=""
/>
<message
clientCredentialType="Certificate"
algorithmSuite="Default"
/>
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
Also, we set the message encoding as MTOM and the wcf client object initialization code snippet is as below,
ObjectServicePortClient
serviceClient = new
ObjectServicePortClient(new
WSHttpBinding("ObjectServicePortBinding1"),
new
EndpointAddress(UriUtil.ObjectServiceUri));
if (serviceClient.Endpoint.Binding
is
WSHttpBinding)
   WSHttpBinding
wsBinding = serviceClient.Endpoint.Binding as
WSHttpBinding;
wsBinding.MessageEncoding =
"MTOM".Equals(transferMode) ?
WSMessageEncoding.Mtom :
WSMessageEncoding.Text;
serviceClient.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(new
ServiceContextBehavior(Config.RepositoryName,
Config.DocumentumUserName,
Config.DocumentumPassword));
When we execute the above code, we are getting error message as below,
Exception: The content type text/xml;charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (multipart/related; type="application/xop+xml"). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported
method is implemented properly. The first 407 bytes of the response were: '<?xml version="1.0" ?><S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><S:Body><S:Fault xmlns:ns4="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"><faultcode>S:VersionMismatch</faultcode><faultstring>Couldn't
create SOAP message. Expecting Envelope in namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/, but got http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope </faultstring></S:Fault></S:Body></S:Envelope>'
Then, we changed the bindings as below
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding
name="ObjectServicePortBinding1">
<security
mode="Transport">
<transport
clientCredentialType="Certificate"
proxyCredentialType="None"
realm=""
/>
<message
clientCredentialType="Certificate"
algorithmSuite="Default"
/>
</security>
</binding>
<binding
name="QueryServicePortBinding">
<security
mode="Transport">
<transport
clientCredentialType="
Certificate"
proxyCredentialType="None"
realm=""
/>
<message
clientCredentialType="Certificate"
algorithmSuite="Default"
/>
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
We are getting another error message,
Exception: The client certificate is not provided. Specify a client certificate in ClientCredentials.
Any pointers on resolving this issue would be highly helpful.
Thanks

Hi Dhanasegaran,
As per your case, the corresponding details which may guide you to resolve this issue:
1. First of all, you can try to call the wcf service directly from the browser & check where it will point out the correct location.
2. In config file ,Set IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults to true to enable exception information to flow to clients for debugging purposes .
Set this to true only during development to troubleshoot a service like below :
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="metadataAndDebugEnabled">
    <serviceDebug
      includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"
/>
    <serviceMetadata
      httpGetEnabled="true"
      httpGetUrl=""
/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
3. I suggest you to change that <security mode ="TransportWithMessageCredential"> instead of <security mode ="Transport">

How to create an External Content Type with SQL Stored Procedures Parameters and query it in a SharePoint App

Hi,
I'm new to SharePoint 2013 I want to be able to query a MSSQL database from a SharePoint App I have tried to create an External Content Type (ECT) which is produced from a MSSQL stored Procedure, this procedure has several parameters which are needed to
filter the data correctly. From here I want to produce an external list which I can then query from a c# SharePoint app. If I leave the filters in the ECT null then the list is of course empty or if enter a default values the results are limited
for the app to query so are no good.
I want to dynamically pass values to the ECT when querying from the app, is this not possible. Should I just be returning everything in an external list and then letting the query in the app filter the data, this seems inefficient?
Is this the best way to do this or should I be doing this differently?
Please can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hi Pandra801,
When you create a the external content type, please try to add a filter based on your select statement.
http://arsalkhatri.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/external-list-with-bcs-search-filters-finders/
Or, try to create a stored procedure based on your select statement, then create ECT using the SQL stored procedure.

Not sure if I am missing something, but should this API be setting the content type (to application/x-www-url-formencoded) when there are values present for the parameters p_parm_name and p_parm_value.
The example in the docs is to a yahoo API. I'm not sure about that particular one (see: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_web_service.htm#BABEDJHJ), and I think it requires an appid (yahoo account), so i just went with the example here:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/guide/yql-code-examples.html#yql_php
If I run the following from a html file on my desktop it works:
<form method="POST" action="http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql">
<input type="hidden" name="q" value="select * from upcoming.events where location='San Francisco' and search_text='dance'"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="format" value="json"></input>
<input type="submit"></input>
</form>That is, it returns a JSON result.
The raw HTTP data is as follows:
POST http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql HTTP/1.1
Host: query.yahooapis.com
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 110

q=select+fromupcoming.events+where+location%3D%27San+Francisco%27+and+search_text%3D%27dance%27&format=json>
However, running the following returns nothing: (nothing, as in nothing that depends on the parameters passed in)
set serveroutput on
declare
l_c CLOB;
begin
l_c := apex_web_service.make_rest_request(
    p_url => 'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql',
    p_http_method => 'POST',
    p_parm_name => apex_util.string_to_table('q:format'),
    p_parm_value => apex_util.string_to_table('select * from upcoming.events where location=''San Francisco'' and search_text=''dance'':json'),
    p_proxy_override => 'http://192.168.1.3:8888');
dbms_output.put_line(substr(l_c, 1, 4000));
end;Raw HTTP data:

Host: query.yahooapis.com
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 106
Connection: close
q=select+%2A+from+upcoming%2Eevents+where+location%3D'San+Francisco'+and+search_text%3D'dance'&format=json>
I do note a key difference is that content type isn't being set in the web service API.
This was just to test a public service. I do note that the above has slighty different request data (percentage encoding on some chars). However, I experienced the same behaviour on a procedure I had written (I can also provide this example test case if you like), which is where I first noticed the issue.
Using utl_http and setting the content type to application/x-www-url-formencoded, does resolve the issue. However, just thought i'd see the possibility of using the Web service API that is made available.
Is the example in the docs valid, or am I missing something obvious?
This is on ApEx 4.1 on the OTN Dev Days VM.
Thoughts?

Hi trent,
I too have had issues with this API , so moved forward with UTL_HTTP API.
There is something amiss.
If you change your code to the one below it works.
SET SERVEROUT ON
declare
l_c CLOB;
l_param varchar2(1000) ;
begin
l_param := 'select * from upcoming.events where location=''San Francisco'' '||
        ' and search_text=''dance'''||'&'||'format=json';
l_c := apex_web_service.make_rest_request(
    p_url => 'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q='||
        utl_url.escape(l_param)
    ,p_http_method => 'POST'
dbms_output.put_line(substr(l_c, 1, 4000));
end;
/Note the use of UTL_URL.ESCAPE. The call does not work without it.
I do not use a proxy, so that parameter does not feature in my snippet above.
Cheers,
PS: However, the below does not work. So, it appears that the p_parm_name and p_parm_value do not quite work.
SET SERVEROUT ON;
declare
l_c CLOB;
l_param varchar2(1000) ;
begin
l_param := 'select * from upcoming.events where location=''San Francisco'' and search_text=''dance''';
l_c := apex_web_service.make_rest_request(
    p_url => 'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql'
    ,p_http_method => 'POST'
    ,p_parm_name => apex_util.string_to_table('q:format')
    ,p_parm_value => apex_util.string_to_table(utl_url.escape(l_param)||':json')
dbms_output.put_line(substr(l_c, 1, 4000));
end;

How to set content type for a JSF page

Hi,
I want to know is there any way we can specify the content type of a JSF page, like in JSPs we have the page attribute <%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
In JSP we can create a html table with values and if we specify the contenType as application/vnd.ms-excel, we would get an excel file generated.
But do we have something similar to this is JSF, as I am using Facelets I cannot use page directive in the xhtml file.
I tried setting the content type in MangedBean's action as follows
((HttpServletResponse)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse()).setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); but it did'nt work.
Thanks in advance.

//add related mutip-part to combine parts
MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("related");
//attach a pdf
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
fds = new FileDataSource("h:/something.pdf");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(fds.getName());
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//add multipart to the message
message.setContent(multipart);
//send message
Transport.send(message);

Restore SharePoint Database to new server - What to do about external content type?

I currently run SharePoint 2010 and have a content database back-up which I want to restore to a new server.
I was able to restore to a new server and everything seems to be working, except that I have one list in my previous site which had an external content type in it linking to a database for our ERP system. The ERP system's database will also be located on
the new server (same as the new location for the content database). How do I link the external content type from my list to the new location of the ERP database?
One thing which I've tried is to create a new BDC and set up a new external content type within the list. That seems to point to the new location just fine, except that I would have to remap all every single item in the list individually.
Any help would be appreciated.

You will need to modify your BCS Model to reflect the new location of your ERP database. Another option is to use SQL Aliases, which will allow SharePoint to think the new location is still by the old name.

This is assuming that you are retiring the old database server.
