Upload multiple documents to SharePoint library in parallel using c#

Hi Team,
We are trying to upload thousands of documents to SharePoint library programatically.I am able to achieve this sequentially . Please help me in achieving this parallely and improve the performance.
Thanks in Advance.

You can try new .net framework async/await feature as described at
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cdndevs/archive/2013/12/18/c-async-and-await-why-do-we-need-them-part-1.aspx. However, you need to limit your concurrent requests, you don't want to span 100 files upload in parallel.
Thanks,

Uploading multiple documents into sharepoint list item with REST in sharepoint 2013 using content editor web part :

hi ,
i am trying to upload multiple document files into sharepoint list item. I followed below link for implementaion.
http://techfindings-prem.blogspot.in/search/label/jquery.multifilejs
It was working for sharepoint hosted app.
This complete code is written within content edito web part.
It was working when i was in root site collection with below change (hard coded the root level url) in code in "UploadFile" function.
var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
console.log(' File size:' + bytes.length);
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')",
method: "POST",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: binary,
success: fsucc,
error: ferr,
state: "Update"
function fsucc(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
deferred.resolve(data);
function ferr(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
deferred.reject(data);
But the issue came in picture when i was working with the other site collection instead of root one. The url was like below.
"http://servername/sites/cpg/". This time i need to be there within "cpg" site collection.
Now if i hard code the url as i did above my code gets break here while come to below line
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
I am getting error when i used below code:
var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')",
method: "POST",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: binary,
success: fsucc,
error: ferr,
state: "Update"
function fsucc(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
deferred.resolve(data);
function ferr(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
deferred.reject(data);
Please hekp in this case. This complete code is written within content edito web part.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about upload multiple documents files into library vai REST API.
As you have said, you have used the hard code url in your code.
How about use the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method to get the url?
I have used this method to get the url, then use the code in the article you have pasted within a content editor web part to upload the files.
You can replace the hard code url with the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method, then check whether it works.
Thanks,

Upload Multiple documents in SharePoint document Library not working

Hi All,
I have folder on my desktop which consists of nested folders and files(Total 11 files) .And when I select "Upload multiple files" option to upload documents and drag the folder from the desktop in pop-up window .
The sharepoint document library uploads only 1 file among all the nested folders from 11 files.Can any one help me how can I solve this
Thanks, Quality Communication Provides Quality Work. http://siddiq-sharepoint2010.blogspot.in/ Siddiqali Mohammad .

Hi,
I understand you encountered the issue when use "Upload Multiple Documents" to Drag Files and Folders to upload window.
When you say "The sharepoint document library uploads only 1 file among all the nested folders from 11 files", do you mean you have drag all files and folders to the window, while only 1 file is uploaded sucessfully? Or you cannot find all expected
folders and files?
Please manually open "Windows Explorer" to locate files and drag files from "Windows Explorer", instead of using the "Open window"
opened by "Browse for files instead" as below:

Can't see 'Upload Multiple Document' option in sharepoint 2013

After upgrading Sharepoint 2010 to 2013, i can't see 'Upload Multiple Document' option under files tab. I have downloaded and place the file 'STSUPLD.DLL' into Office14 and Office15 folder but IE is not asking me to run any microsoft ActiveX control as mentioned here
http://thuansoldier.net/?p=2289
I am using Office 2010 with IE9 (32 bit) .
Am i missing anything ?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not see the “Upload Multiple Document” option in SharePoint 2013.
In SharePoint 2013 the “Upload Multiple” Options has been depreciated. As we all known, there are two alternative ways to Upload multiple documents:option
1 - Using the drag-and-drop functionality, option 2 - Windows Explorer view.
You can upgrade your IE from IE9 to IE10 then check whether it works.
You can also use the Windows Explorer view to upload multiple documents.
You will probably get the following error.
To resolve this add the SharePoint site as Trusted in your Browser and Make sure that the WebClient service is running. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then press Enter.
In the list of services, locate the WebClient service, and then make sure that its status in the Status column is set to Started. If its status is not set to Started, double-click WebClient, click Start, and then click OK.
Once done restart the browser and try opening the Windows Explorer again. In the Windows Explorer you can copy and paste Multiple documents as done in earlier SharePoint versions.

Uploading Multiple Documents To a List Item sharepoint 2010

hi Guys ,
Is there a way we can enable (out of the box )Uploading Multiple Documents To a List Item sharepoint 2010 ?
cheers

No, There is no OOB way to do the same you have to build a custom Page/Control OR customise OOB Form to attache multiple files and that will be through integration of ajax based control (multiple file uploader.)
the other way to do the same is provision a custom field. we have done this for our many clients.
Hi, I also encountered the same problem, could u pls provide detailed information by a custom field?

Help Required - Upload Multiple Documents functionality sometimes disappears in SharePoint 2010

Hi All,
We have a web application created in SharePoint 2010 & there we were facing an issue of not able to Upload multiple documents. After doing search on google, we have found that
pre-requisites for this functionality to be working properly are as follows:
Client Integration needs to be enabled for the web application.
The STSUpld.UploadCtl IE add-in must be enabled. (located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12)
The 32 bit version of Internet Explorer. The 64 bit version does not support it and neither do other, non IE, browsers.
Office 2003 or newer on the client.
After meeting all the above requirements, We are now able to see the Upload Multiple Documents link but we are failing in below 2 scenarios:
On some machines it is working fine & on some it is not.
On some machines, this option is available for sometime & sometimes it disappears.
If any one of you have experienced the same problem, then please help us with your valuable suggestions & possible solution for it.

Hi Manish,
We've just been experiencing your initial issue with Office 2007 clients not being able to use the multi-file upload functionality. Sure enough....turning on presence information in Central Admin fixes the issue. The strange thing is though that
when presence is turned off, Office 2003 and 2010 clients still work fine and it's only 2007 clients that fail. Also this issue appeared to only exist for us inside applications that have been upgraded from MOSS2007 to SP2010. Any new applications
of even new site collections within an upgraded application worked fine across all 3 Office versions.
Coincidently, we're also experiencing the more recent issue you've come across with files not uploading after clicking OK in the ActiveX. Nothing happens. Office 2010 clients work fine but 2003 and 2007 clients just don't upload the selected
files. We've found a workaround which "fixes" the issue but brings it's own set of problems so it's not ideal. Here's what we've done...
1. Open IIS, and navigate to the web where you want to use multi-file upload
2. Select Handler Mappings and Add Script Map
3. Set Request Path - shtml.dll
4. Set Executable - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\ISAPI\SHTML.dll
5. Set the name to something meaningful - Multi File Upload
6. Leave the Request Restrictions as default
This should fix the issue with files not uploading but unfortunately it also prevents SharePoint Designer from accessing the site. For the application where we desperately need multi-file upload we can manage without SPD access so it's not the end
of the world but not ideal. We've actually got an outstanding incident logged with Microsoft to resolve this issue but they've yet to find a solution for us. We suggested to MS that we update authentication to Kerberos from NTLM and retry as we
seem to be getting 401 errors in the call stack so thought that could be related. We've not yet configured Kerberos so I'm not sure whether this is a solution or not.
One other point worth mentioning is that SharePoint Designer 2010 (which is free) installs the latest version (14) of the Upload ActiveX and with this installed the uploads work as expected. Also if you have Silverlight and SPD2010 installed then you
get a Silverlight control to do the upload which also works fine. Again, not ideal as rolling out SPD 2010 to affected clients isn't really a suitable solution.
Sorry I can't be any more help. Hopefully my findings might point you in the right direction. If you do find a solution (other than the IIS handler mapping) then please re-post here,
Good luck,
Ben

HI,
I am using VS 2010 and C#, SharePoint 2010.
I have a custom list ( not using document library).
I am using a visual web part, in which i have added a asp:file upload control, which has Allow multiple set to true.
How to upload multiple files to custom list programmatically using the asp:file upload control?
Thanks

Getting error while uploading a document in a library

Hi,
I'm getting a weird error while uploading the document in the library. And I don't get it all the times but most of the times.
It reads:
The file <library name>/<file name> has been modified by i:0#.<user-id> on <datetime stamp>
How to resolve this ? I have referred many articles on this one, but none helped.
Thanks for your response in advance.
Regards

Hi Prajk,
Based on your description, I recommend to check if there are any ItemAdded event receiver or workflows which are triggered when an item is created to update the document properties in the library.
If there is any ItemAdded event receiver on the library, I recommend to wait for ItemAdded to finish before the ListFieldIterator control residing on EditForm.aspx loads (It’s the ListFieldIterator which displays the Item’s fields ).
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/manuj/archive/2009/09/22/itemadded-event-on-document-library-the-file-has-been-modified-by-on-error.aspx
If there is any workflow on the library, I recommend to add a Pause for Duration step at the beginning of the workflows.
If above cannot work, please check ULS log for detailed error message.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Best regards.
Thanks

STSUPLD.DLL not recognizing as an add-on; upload multiple documents disabled

On my client system, Windows XP, Office 2007 and IE8 is installed. It is a 32 bit system. On the Sharepoint site, "upload multiple document" feature is disabled. After searching for the cause, I came to know about the STSUPLD add-on that needs
to be enabled otherwise it remains greyed out. So I copied the DLL file to C:/.../Office12/STSUPLD.DLL
IE does not detect any add-on when I start a new browser session. Between copying the DLL, and starting a new browser session, followed by checking Tools-->manage add-ons, am I missing an important step? (like installing...etc.)
Thanks

easy way is, if you can install the Office client on the server, the control will be available.
also check this post for further detail:

I get two screens while uploading a document in a library

Hi,
I get two upload screens while uploading a document to a library. Take a look at the below screenshots. Can somebody please tell me how can I club these two to one.
I need only one upload screen with all the metadata listed.
Many thanks for your response.
p.s. also please tell me an out of the box way to do this. Even scripting is okay.
1.
2.

In the first screenshot I can see the link "Upload files using Windows Explorer instead". You can use that option to upload your files and the default values for metadata would be taken for those files.
From the second screenshot I can see there are custom columns in metadata because of which the second dialog is shown. If there are no custom columns in metadata then the second dialog will not appear.

Search text in document of sharepoint library

I am trying to write a program which will fetch the word document from sharepoint library and check if a metadata(term set) e.g.
"Movies" exists in the document or not. I need to know if there is any way I can read a document? Currently I get search to use interop assembly. I have to download the document on the server for that, Is there any other way in which I can read document
from the library itself without downloading and check if the word "Movies" is present in it. Using Sharepoint 2013.

hi
the way you choose is too complicated: you will need to open the documents by yourself programmatically and analyze its content. Standard Sharepoint search crawler is already integrated with Office documents (and in 2013 version with pdf without additional
configurations), i.e. when it crawls the content it checks not only documents names but also content inside these documents.
So if you only need to display list of documents based on the search query, use OTB search. If you need to do something with the search results programmatically, you can make search queries programmatically and then process the returned items in the code
(see e.g.
Programmatically working with Keyword Search Queries in SharePoint 2013).
