WSP Package Deployment to a Different site collection

Hi All,
I have 2 different site collections on one web application , while deploying the WSP package iam not able to see the new sitecollection i have created in the dropdown selection list.
Please advise if iam missing anything or advice if we have powershell commands to deploy directly to the diff site collection.
thanks.SS

I am assuming that you want to deploy sandbox solutions, then you can use Add-SPUserSolution and Install-SPUserSolution
powershell commands to add and deploy the WSP to a specific site collection
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/anavijai/how-to-deploy-a-sandbox-solution-using-powershell-in-sharepoint-2010/
If it is a FARM solution (not specific to site collection, it will always get deployed to web application or globally deployed), you can use Add-SPSolution and Install-SPSolution
commands

How to publish an Admin-Approved InfoPath template to 2 different site collections, and retain same internal column names

Hi,
I am wondering how best to publish an InfoPath form as an Admin-Approved template, to both Site Collection 1 (SC1) and Site Collection 2 (SC2). Some fields are promoted to SharePoint columns.
I have already published my form to SC1, by choosing Publish to SharePoint Server > chose SC1 > Admin-approved > chose to publish to columns I had created manually on SC1 (these columns had relatively user-friendly internal names such
as 'Form_x0020_Status' etc, which I reference in xsl + code). I then uploaded the template in Central Admin as Admin-Approved, and activated the feature on SC1. This all worked fine.
However, if I then go to activate the feature on SC2, it creates columns with different internal names (GUIDs), which means my xsl + code won't work. If I try creating columns manually on SC2 before publishing, it still creates new GUID columns.
This of course must be because on feature activation on SC2, it cannot find the exact columns specified in the template (which was published to SC1), so it creates new ones.
In that case, what is the best way to publish an Admin-Approved template to 2 different site collections? One option is to create the columns using code, and deploy them to both sites as a feature, ensuring all IDs are the same. But should this be necessary, is
there any option available using only InfoPath and SharePoint?
Thanks for reading.

Template.xsn. Access to locations on different site collections is blocked for security reasons

I am using sharepoint 2010 onpremise.
I created a custom list, content type and columns. After this I go to the list and click on the infopath button in the ribbon to customize the form. I changed the form and published to the server.
Now I get this error when I go to some page where I have added a infopath webpart:
The following location is in a different site collection:
http://www.myCompany.nl/someSubsite/Lists/VraagEnAntwoord/VraagEnAntwoord/template.xsn. Access to locations on different site collections is blocked for security reasons. For more information, contact your site administrator.
This website has anonymous access.
I have googled and found many people with this problem, but I dont find some solution. Someone talk about create a template from infopath and then publish it to a content type. I dont understand this solution. Can someone help?

SharePoint Workflow - Update Item in a different Site Collection

We have a requirement where if an approver approves an item (say in List 1 in Site Collection A), a certain Date column has to be updated on another item which is on a different site collection (say in List 2 in Site Collection B). I think I cannot use a
SharePoint Designer(SPD) workflow in this scenario as SPD Workflows cannot access an item in a different Site Collection.
I can think of 2 approaches -
Approach A - Create a workflow in Visual Studio which initiates an approval workflow when an item is added to List 1. If the item is approved, update the corresponding related item in Site Collection 2. Can I do this? Can a Visual Studio workflow access
item in a different site collection? Both Site Collections are in the same web application.
Approach B - The other approach is to create a SPD workflow for approval and create an Event Receiver on the same list which updates the date in the related item on a different site when the items stats is approved.
I feel approach A is better if can be done as we a single workflow taking care of the entire process. Please let me know if this can be done using a VS workflow. Any other approaches are also welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Haven't tried myself, but it could be worth trying out the Call Web Service Action in SPD and update the list in the other site collection with a REST Call.

The following location is not accessible, because it is in a different site collection

Hi,
I have an InfoPath full trust form which has been uploaded to the Central Administration. I activated the form in a Form Library using Content Management. Unfortunately, when I try to load the InfoPath form in the public machine, it throws for the error below:
The following location is not accessible, because it is in a different site collection: http://109.91.111.45:8080/sites/sbc/Success/Forms/AllItems.aspx.
Can someone please help?

Please read the below scenario may be what LarsLL & Derek are referring to.
For Example:
Consider a Farm where we have one App server & one WFE. If we create a Web Application in App Server the url will be like
http://<<appServerName>>:12345/
We can access the site using the WFE name also like this
http://<<WFE ServerName>>:12345/ but when the user tries to access the form from this site we may get this error.
To resolve this create an Alternate Access Mapping for the site at
http://<<WFE ServerName>>:12345/ to ensure this site can be resolved by InfoPath.
Cause:
This happens when InfoPath tries to load the Form. It would try to verify if the Site collection exists. Read the article here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981854 for more information.

Populate Lookup Lists from Different Site Collection

Hi,
we are using O365 environment
We have 2 Site Collections: Site Collection 1 has Sub sites and has lookup Columns in Lists..
This Subsite is created as a Site Collection 2 in O365 ..In Site Coll Lists we have Lists which has Lookup columns referring to Site Coll 1
How do I bring the content over to Site coll 2 with Lookup columns without having the Lists moved from Site Coll1
Thanks

This can't be done out of the box. It would require a custom solution or a 3rd party plugin (not sure if one exists or not).

Two different site collection cannot use the same Term Set . Is there any solution for this ?

I can save department site collection as site collection template. Also I can use this template for a new department site collection creation.
But Managed Meta data Navigation throws the following error
•Error loading navigation: The Managed Navigation term set is improperly attached to the site. (Correlation ID: 6fa6b19c-820a-001d-b9e0-d939d702050a)

Hi ,
this is a limitation. please refer this
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/sharepoint/en-US/029b7e2e-661f-4ac3-bfcb-eb99b43016f2/the-selected-term-set-is-already-used-by-another-site
Unfortunately in SP 2013, a termset can only be used by a single site collection for navigation. This is a known limitation. There is no out of the box way to use a central termset to manage navigation across site collections. You need to develop a custom sitemap
provider to do that.
Another way to do this is to create termset for each site collection and reuse/pin the terms from the central termset instead of creating duplicate terms. You can script this easily using Powershell. This has some limitations though.
Also, you can try little customization. Follow this link -

Workspace Project Custom Field Web Part on different Site Collection?

Hello experts,
I'm working on a project site template in a SharePoint 2010 environment. My client wants project custom fields to be displayed on the Project Site homepage.
To accomplish this, I'm using the Solution Starter's Workspace Project Custom Field Web Part.
It works fine, as long as we create the project sites under the PWA site collection.
However, due to administrative reasons, we've decided to provision all project sites under a separate Site Collection, in a separate content database. In this case, we manage to add the webpart to the page, but as soon as we try to edit it, to configure
the visible Custom Fields, we get this error:
Server Error in '/' Application.

Now, I've activated every possible feature, both on the Site Collection and Site level (or SPSite, SPWeb). Alas, no succes. Which brings me to these questions:
What might be causing this error? Can this be solved?
Are there any cases of working webparts of this kind in site collections other than PWA?
If this is a technical limitation, what are alternative options for me to display custom fields on a project site?
Link to the Solution Starters: http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/P2010SolutionStarter

Hi
I did not use this solution starter, but it might be that the webpart just looks for a Project Server instance in the current site collection - and there is none.
You could use a SQL Reporting Services Report to show on the site to accomplish this. Either you would have to set the project as a parameter manually once for each site, or you could try to determine the project automatically using the URL.

How to retrive latest items from different site collection using content search web part

I have a web application that contains two site collections(team site + enterprise wiki), with the following URLs:-
-http://applicationname/teamsite
-http://applicationname/enterprisewik
Now I need to display the latest 10 wiki pages that are inside the enterprise wiki site collection (according to the modified date) inside the team site. So I read that using Content search web part allows for cross-site content query.
So I added a new content search web part , inside my team site, and I click on “change query” button. But I am not sure how I can reference the enterprise wiki site collection's library and to specify that I need to get the latest 10 wiki pages using the
content search web part's query dialog box? Can anyone advice please ?
Thanks

Edit the webpart and click change query in search criteria. click on switch to advanced mode and enter your path:
(path:"http://applicationname/teamsite" OR path:"http://applicationname/enterprisewik")
you can specify sorting by created date and click ok. in number of items to show, type 10. this should fulfill your requirement.

Compare 2 Document Libraries from different Site Collections

Hello,
We are in the middle of migrating from SP 2013 to SP 365 and I would like to be able to compare the documents from our existing document libraries to what was moved over to the corresponding 365 document library. Is there a search feature in Windows
or something easy someone can tell me about? Right now I am taking screen shots of the 2 libraries and doing this manually. I added a 'count' in my view in the library and that helped a little but thought there would be a search or something like
that. Any help is much appreciated!
Joanie

Hi
You can use ShareGate tool to compare or even move your whole document library to SP 365 with content and permissions.
Also it comes with 15 day trial so you can review it and use it without any problem for 15 days

Sharepoint Cross-Site Content Rollup using Sharepoint Designer with Different Sites deployed in different ports

Hi
In Sharepoint Designer Cross Site Content Rollup is achieved using SOAP service in different site collections in Same domain (Same Port where site is deployed). Please provide the information that different sites in different
ports.
For Eg: Site A in one port (1000) and Site B in Another Port(2000). I want to access it from site A SP List in Site B using Sharepoint designer.

HI Krupesh,
You can call the web service or REST API to update the item in List B and List C in workflow.
Below mentioned links help in calling web service activity in workflow:

Best Way to Sync Lists Across Multiple Site Collections?

A quick query I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with...
Within our university intranet I am assigning each department a team site within its own Site Collection. So that departments can associate Document Library files with a set list of academic courses, I created a custom dropdown field and deployed it as a Feature. While this worked within SharePoint, when you attempted to set the document properties within the Microsoft Word environment the custom fields were rendered as empty text boxes (meaning that staff are no longer restricted in when information they can enter).
To get around this I'm considering going back-to-basics and creating a Custom List, populating it with the titles of our academic courses, and then assigning it to a Document Library via a Lookup Field. I know that Microsoft Word will then correctly display the metadata dropdown.
As I am using multiple Site Collections, I'm unsure of the "best" way to proceed.
I've already written a Console Application which can create a Custom List within a targetted site and populate it with the contents of an XML file - but I would need to run this every time I created a new Site Collection and what would I do when I wanted to update the contents of all the lists?
Other than modifying my Console Application to loop through all instances of the Custom List within Site Collections and sync it to the contents of the XML file, is there another (better) option that I am over-looking?
Its such a shame I can't create cross-collection Lookup Fields within all of the Site Collections that point to a single top-level list.
Many thanks.

My instinctive questions drifts towards why you have different site collections. If all the sites were sub sites within the same site collection, a global field would solve the issue quite nicely.
If you have legitimate reasons for keeping the sites seperated into separate site collections, I would look at using an Event Handler to trigger updates to reference values in each site collection, be they global fields or lists. Then if you wish to update the values, you only need to update the trigger list to propagate the updates across your site sollections to all your sites in question.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks
