Workflow to move documents to Record Centre

Hi,
I'm developing a Approval workflow to move documents to a Record Centre Site on approval. The workflow works fine until I add the If to test if the workflow outcome for the move/archiving of the document was Approved or Rejected. The
issue seem to be that the field in the library for the workflow doesn't appear to show the updated value (Approved or Rejected) until the page is refreshed so when the workflow checks if the value is Approved (16) it returns In Progress(2) so the If condition
never runs
Steps in the workflow
Step 1
Log "Starting Approval for Move to Record Centre" to the workflow History List
them Start Approval
process on Current Item
with these users
If CurrentItem:ApproveMoveToRecordCentre
Equals
16 ("here's where I get returned value of 2 as the workflow is still in progress")
Submit File using this action to this destination router with
this explanation
(Output to variable:submit file result)
Else
Log Archiving Not Approved to the workflow history task list

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the If condition was not executed in the workflow.
I recommend to add a step Pause for Duration under the Start Approval Process step.
Best regards.
Thanks

Move documents to records center when workflow is completed

I use SharePoint 2013. In my Library, my document goes through a workflow. As soon as the workflow (developed on 2013 wf platform) is done, the document needs to be send to the Records Centre automatically. How can I do that?
Retention Stage property (In information policy) only cater for: Time Period = Created / Modified / Declare Record. How can I check for wf status = Completed and then move the document to Records Centre?

Forwarding documents to Record Centre

I've created a record centre and defined a CT within it. Added the CT to Drop and Record library. So when a document is added to the drop box, fill in the metadata and submitted the document automatically is routed to the correct record library. great !
I now want to forward the document from a different SC to the Record Centre. I havent set any metadata on this library, I can forward the document using Send To but it will remain in the drop box as no supported metadata on this library.
Whats the best way to sent documents to a record centre from another SC (with metadata) ?
Is it usual to have the correct metadata specified upfront, that matches the record centre ?
Is there any advantage using a workflow to send the document, especially around metadata ?
Just looking for any standardised way if there is such a thing.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move documents across site collections and preserve metadata information.
What is the drop box? Whether it is a lookup column.
There is not an OOB way to achieve it. You can use some third party tools to implement it, like the third party tools below:

How to create workflow to move document from site to its subsite

Hi All,
I need suggestion on share point workflow development. Currently I am working on Share Point 2013. I have root site and its sub-sites.
Following is the challenge:
1. I have to move document from "Document Library" of root site to one of its sub-site using share point workflow.
2. Move document from sub-site to sub-site of root site.
I am not sure whether I should use "List workflow" or "Site workflow" as I am new in Share point. I am using share point designer 2013 to develop workflow. I search a lot on google but no luck on this.
Please provide yours valuable suggestion. Thanks

P
Khadatkar,
You need to turn on feature called "Workflows can use app permissions"

Need to move documents from Record center to file share

I am trying to figure out how can I manage moving the documents from record center to file share. I want to move the older documents that are taking lot of space from record center in to some kind of file share. There are thousands of old documents that
I need to move to file share, so this needs to be bulk move.
ganesh

Assuming you have permissions to the Record Center this is basically as easy as opening up the Library in Explorer view and doing a Drag and Drop Move. But you should be aware that you'll lose all the metadata when you do it. I suspect what
you really want is to move the documents to lower cost storage but retain the metadata and the connection to the records center. To do that you would need to look at something like StoragePoint from Metalogix. There's nothing built-in to SharePoint
that provides that kind of functionality.

Previous Version of the document after sent to Record Centre

In the current Farm we have 2 web apps
Collaboration
Record Centre
We are sending the document to Record Centre using the Send to Connection and the connection is setup as Move and leave a link .
Once the document is sent to Record Centre its leaves the link and ext. is ASPX .
After this if you go and check the version history of the left link and click on any of the previous versions . SharePoint can't open the file as the content is word but the extension is ASPX and
its gives you a error for cant open zip file
Can someone suggest a solution for this ?
Note : if you download the file and change the ext to docx from aspx it works fine .
Amit

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint can't open the file as the content is word but the extension is ASPX after sending to Record Centre.
After sending the document to the Records Centre using the new Send To action, the document is moved to the Records Centre and becomes a record, while a link is left behind in its’ place in the document library, with the filename doc1.aspx.
Note the file extension of the link indicates this link is an ASPX page while the rest of the filename matches the original document filename. This file extension is the significant factor in the problem.
To open the document, you can click the link, and then open the ASPX page. In the page, you can click the New Location link to download the document.

Document/Record Centre - Why higher storage threshold?

Hi,
Can someone explain to me why Document Centres and Records Centres can grow up to 4TB, but standard Site Collections are limited to 200GB?
From what I can see while Records Centres are by their nature for archiving and will be accessed less, Documents Centres are suggested as being used for collboration etc.
Surely Doc Centres is just a standard site with additional features activated? Can anyone shed light on why this storage difference occurs?
Thanks
Barry

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know the reason why Document Centres and Records Centres can grow up to 4TB.
The limitations are governed by the Site itself which is constrained by content database limits (recommended < 200gb).
In a practical scenario with optimal performance & storage for a Document Center, the results may vary based on the document check-in/check-out, versions & workflows, if any, are used.
This post describes a Document Center example -
Enterprise content storage planning (under section 'Large-scale authoring environment').
Thank you for your understanding.

Move document to document set - Workflow

Hello!
I'm looking for a workflow that will move a document (from the standard "documents" library) and actually put it into a Document Set (e.g. DocSet1, DocSet2, etc.) in a different library called "Document Sets"
Is anybody aware of a way to do this please?
Thank you,
Griff

You need a simple workflow which will move document from one document library to another.

Once moved to Document sets library based on rule it will have proper document set and DOcument ID assigned to it.

Move attachments to Document of Records

Hi, My client has a requirement to move attached documents (Person Form) to Document of records, I am struggling to find the correct API to do this. During my search I came across bug 5841158 which states there is no such API but on the other hand HR_DOCUMENT_EXTRA_INFO API seems be doing similar stuff, not sure if I am missing something here.
If you have come across any such requirement or know some thing about it, kindly help.
Thanks.

Retention Processing does not move Document Set to the Drop Off Library

Hi Everyone.
Had Retention Processing working fine. Moving files between Document Librarys and the Record Centre using Information Management Policies to move to the Drop-Off Library where the Content Organizer Rules moved them to the relevent Library.
It has all come to a grinding halt with the following line in the '14 hive' logs.
Skipping retention processing for item /doc/Housing/1 RET TEST SET on web http://moraysrv052/doc because there is an unprocessed schedule update. 1b1dfe42-28f9-440a-b84a-17c20aa9c7d6
I have searched the Internet and these forums but can find no reference to this error, Can anyone help as automatic retention policies are crucial to our Sharepoint Implementation.
Cheers
Ross Urquhart

Vinit
Thanks for the advise but not the answer unfortunately.
I have the Content Organizer & Expiration Policy Timer Jobs running every 15 mins, Information Management Policy runs Weekly as this only effects changes to Policy. I have changed the times so all jobs run every 15 mins. Still get the same error message.
Expiration worked perfectly before when it was triggered by Closure Date, A column we created which the user populates to indicate the Document can be closed. Retention then moves the Document to the Record Centre. I changed the trigger on one of the Document
Sets to be Created Date and this generates the error, Change this back to Closure Date, no error, Document moves to Record Centre Drop Off Library.
Another observation. If Retention is against a any other Content Type it is called Created if it is against a Document Set Content Type it is called Created Date, however when you review the Compliance Details of the Set it is called Created.
Does this trigger any ideas.
Cheers

Record Centre - Sent to Corporate Record centre new location link

Background:
We are using SharePoint 2010 to declare record from a team site using "Send to" link to move the record and leave a link behind. The record is moved to the 'Record Site" hub and routing rules are set up in here to move the record to correct
record storage site based on metadata property.
In our setup we have setup one content type to be used by users in a team site if they don't want to move their record to Record Site. There is retention policy on this content type to delete the record after 2 years as this is meant to be used only
if user wants to keep something on thier team site and doesn't want to archive it in Record Site for longer period.
But we have an issue that some user still use "Send To" link for this content type on document which results in sending these documents in the 'Record Site' hub drop off library and they sit there as there is no routing rule setup for
this content type in the hub to move it to the relevant storage site.
Issues:
This is causing us the following issues and i would really apperciate any advise and help on this:
If we change the content type for such documents in Record Site hub, the document is correctly moved to the correct record storage site leaving the URL of the link pointing to the old location (Record Site Hub) where as document is moved to the different
storage site. This is not causing us an issue with accessing the document as user is still able to open the document by clicking on the link but the URL on the link itself is still pointing to old location (Record Site Hub). Is there a way to update the link
to point to the new location?
Is it possible to stop user using 'Send To' link for a particular content type in a team site? or at least show them a message that you have used wrong content type for this document?
I hope the above question is clear. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks
Regards,
Kashif

Hi Kashif,
According to your description, my understanding is that you don’t want to users to use Send To link when the content type is not correct.
I recommend to create Retention Policy on the specific content type and move the items which use the content type to the Record Site hub at a schedule time.
If the users do not want to move to the Record Site hub, then they need to change the content type for the items.
To prevent the users using the Send To link, I recommend to hide the Send To in the menu for the library, please refer to the link below:

I haven't done any work related to IP-camera. So, sorry I can't help you with
reading images from IP camera and generating a movie. But I guess, you might
find a solution in some posts of this forum or if I remember correctly,
in the book "Killer Java Games", there's a chapter discussing this issue
of making movies in Java.
I just happened to work on a project that requires reading images from
a MJPEG stream. Unfortunately, it is a commercial project and I'd be very
unprofessional if I expose some code of that project here even though
I wrote the code myself. Anyway, I used a algorithm similar to what you
guys did in this thread ((I implemented it abit differently, though)
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=494920&start=0&tstart=0
One thing I noticed is that after I read the first image successfully, there were
still some data, which I haven't got time to investigate what kind of data they
are, before I encountered the boundary between successive images and other
customized header lines. So after reading an image, I just read each line of
data and check if it starts with the boundary string. If I got to the boundary,
then I start to read (and remove other header lines) before I start reading the
next image. Again, similar to the post mentioned above, this method
requires you read the server manual (or print out the boundary and header
lines in case you don't have such document available). But it does give you
easy access to custom header lines.
Alternatively, you can detect the start of the raw JPEG data like one guy in the
above post did.
Good luck, mate!

Move document from one environment to another when document is approved

Hi,
I need to move document from extranet environment(abc domain) document library to intranet environment(xyz domain) document library when document approved.
Can anybody suggest me how we can proceed?
Thanks,
Raju

Are you writing a custom workflow or you are using out of the box approval workflow?
Regardless the best option for you is to use two step approach.
1) When document is approved using Copy.CopyIntoItems Method to copy document to your extranet farm. You will have to rely on web services given you are communicating between two farms.
Copies a document represented by a Byte array to one or more locations on a
server.
2) Once the document is copied then your List.asmx to delete from original location.
How to: Update List Items
If you are using out of the box approval workflow then best way to automate this is using event receivers. If this is custom workflow then write your code in the workflow using code activity.

Questions about Documents of Record feature

Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding DoR:
Is there any backup on application level to documents which were added and later deleted/overwritten? Is there something like versioning or date tracking?
Can I personalize the DoR search to include other attribute fields from person or assignment such as assignment location, supervisor etc...?
Thanks, Elad

1. Are there any Companies with over 20,000 employees using Documents of Record functionality?
Business of Size of 8k to 10 K using this functionality atlest 15 Documents each employee, System does not have restriction to be used be for 20 K employee also.
2. What is the effect of this increased Database size on System Performance & Instance refresh/Clone timings?
As this going to stored in Table in Blob Column. This should not be issue of Instance Refresh/Clone.
3. Document of Records uses Workflow technology for Document Verification/Authorization, Can AME be used to implement Document Verification instead?
Workflow/AME can be configure for Approval/verification process
4. What is the future roadmap for Documents of Record in Fusion? Will there be an upgrade path available from R12 E-Biz to Fusion?
As my understanding E-Biz and Fusion are different Product suite. There is not upgrade structure exist from E-Biz to Fusion for any product and its components.
Thanks
