    - Migration Sharepoint 2003 to MOSS 2007 Issue! Hey Friends, I am trying to migrate an existing Sharepoint 2003 site to MOSS 2007 Beta 2 using database migration option. The Sharepoint 2003 site uses a SQL Server 2000 Database (5GB size) and MOSS 2007 uses a SQL Server 2005 database (FYI... space and RAM is not an issue...) So I have upgraded(backup/restore) the database from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 for MOSS 2007 successfully. Then I added the existing upgraded database to a Web Application in MOSS 2007 using the Sharepoint Central Admin -> Application Management -> Content Databases -> Add Content Database. After "Operation in Progress..." I got a "Thread was being aborted." exception. Then I rebooted the Server and then repeated the process again just to get an "Action 12.0.1.0 of Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Upgrade.SiteSequence failed" exception. FYI... I have set the IIS Web Site Timeout to "5000". Please advise on the solution! I am trying this for a while now and have no success with this. Any help is very much appreciated. I am also thinking for re-installing MOSS 2007. Would that help? -GM Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84797

    - Can´t add a "private document" webpart to MyPage Hi I am trying to add a webpart to MyPage showing the content of my document folders, but no webpart is available. In fact no webpart are available for any of the lists I have added to MyPage. Why is this the case? Btw. I have aministrator privileges on the portal. I tried adding a new page to MyPage, on this page all the webparts are available. Any help on getting these webparts available on MyPage are greatly appreciated; an explanation if it's not possible would also be helpful.

    - Word documents showing up blank I have a site that was recently upgraded to sharepoint 2007 beta. There are many document libraries but one in particular is giving me trouble. There are several word documents in this library and all have a size that is greater than 0kb. Most are somewhere around 300kb or 500kb. When anyone tries to open one of these files they are greeted with a blank document. The file properties once in word state that the document has 0 characters. When dragging the file to my desktop from explorer view, the desktop version is 0kb and blank. Any suggestions or ideas? Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84769

    - Enabling anonymous users to open and submit data via InfoPath Forms published to SharePoint 2007 Hi, I have been really struggling for a couple of weeks attempting to get SharePoint 2007 to allow anonymous access to an InfoPath Form. I published a form to a Form and Document library and authenticated users have no trouble opening and submitting data from this form. All my form currently does is send an email of the data they entered in the form when users hit the submit button. I enabled anonymous access, but the only problem is that I am not able to allow anonymous users to add or edit InfoPath forms in a Form library or Document Library. I tried to just copy and paste the link to the open form in internet explorer, and it opens fine for anonymous users for them to see, but when they hit the submit button they receive the following error: "Critical Error There has been a critical error while processing the form. Click Start Over to load a new copy of the form. If this error persists, contact the support team for the Web site.Click Close to exit this message. " I looked at the event logs and found the following error: "There was a form postback error. (User: , Form Name: RequestForm_pub, IP: 123, Request: http://sitename/_layouts/Postback.FormServer.aspx, Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:RequestForm-pub:-myXSD, Type: NullReferenceException, Exception Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.)" I have looked high and dry for any information on how to give add/edit rights to anonymous users in Document and Form libraries. Does anyone out there know if there is a way around this or if there is any other way to use the Forms Server to allow anonymous users to open published InfoPath forms and submit data. There has got to be a way to accomplish this. What would be the point of having Forms Services if you cant allow anonymous users to access the form! Thanks in advance for any help!

    - Very large sps.edb I am curious how can I, should I, get rid of a large sps.edb file. I am running Portal Server 2003 with 250,000+ docs in a single site (meaning WSS site). I was letting it fill the non_portal_content when it exceeded the number of actual docs. I figured it was just something goofy as I was importing docs still. I did a "reset content index" but, which appears to have worked, except I still have an sps.edb which is very large (1.2gb) in the directory "C:\Program Files\SharePoint Portal Server\DATA\a3348c30-5865-4061-8737-4ed9654dc95d". It goes without saying that I do NOT want to lose any of the metadata associated with the documents. But I can afford to loose the ability to do a full text search via the portal search engine until I get the index rebuilt. So, what exactly does the sps.edb hold? Any of the metadata from the docs in the WSS site? OR is it just the indexing results. How can I shrink it? Rebuild the file? etc. Thanks, Bob Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84753

    - Anyway to limit number of alerts sent? We use SPS 2003 and WSS , we had a user create an "immediate" alert for "all changes" on a document library. Somone then pasted in thousands of files to the doc library using Windows Explorer. This caused thousands of e-mails (1 per file pasted) to be sent to the person who had set the alert. I can't find any way to prevent this from happening again, short of turning off alerts ... am I missing something int he administrative settings for SPS/WSS? There are settings to limit the number of alerts a user can have, as well as a "maximum number of results per alert" , but that doesn't seem to have the desired effect... Any help is appreciated Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84736

    - How to disply a list document workspace sites ? Hello. I want to display the list of "document workspace sites" which each user is member of. This is the workflow I want implement: I create a document workspace (let's call it Doc1) starting from a document in a document library or directly from word 2003, then I add a certain number of members to the Doc1 members' list. The Doc1 site is correctly created and all Doc1 members receive the e-mail containing the link to the Doc1 site. Now, the question is: where Doc1 members can find the link to the Doc1 site whithin the portal? Can these members have a list containing the links to all the document workspace sites which they are member of or do they have to manually maintain their links to workspace sites? Is there a web part which shows this list? I expected to find these list implemented in "my workspace sites" or in "shared workspace sites" web parts (in the user's "My Site") but when I create the workspace site they remain empty. I can't find any discussion about it and that make me think I'm getting lost in a glass of water... Really thank for any help. Luca P.S. I'm working with sharepoint portal server 2003.

    - Search errors and Administration pages not loading Hopefully somebody here can help. We have a sharepoint implementation with 5 portals. The main portal offers shared services such as search etc for the other portals. One box does everything, SQL Server, Search Index and host the sites. The problem is we recieve is that when a user runs a search he recieves the following "Your search encountered an error. If the problem persists, contact the portal site administrator.". I am fairly certain that has to do with indexing and will have to recreate the index etc. The second problem is I cannot open the indexes and propgation section of the administration pages. The whole thing simply hangs and trys to load but nothing happens. So I have two questions. How do I delete the index's? I have read you simply remove search and index options for the server along with the job server then reset it back is that correct? Also does anyone have any ideas as to why I cannot get to the management pages mentioned above? Thanks Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84726

    - Setting permission for discussion board Hi guys, The SharePoint is new to me. I just installed SharePoint Portal Server 2003, and set up a discussion board. The default permission setting of the discussion board allow "User A" to edit/delete any message on the board, including those that are not created by "User A". So I went into "Site Settings|Manage security and additional settings|Manage Site Groups" and created a new group with custom rights. But I couldn't find the the right that allow to a user to access to discussion board, but at the same time can't edit/delete others' messages. Could somebody help me out on this one? Thanks.

    - How to change the order of horizontal navigation items Ok, this one seems like it should be simple but it just won't fly. I would like to change the order of the areas listed in the horizontal navigation in our portal. ie: Home - Topics - News - Sites I've tried the 'Manage portal site structure' from site settings which seems like false advertising that it can't change the order of the areas. It claims one can drag items but that doesn't seem to work either. Any help would be awesome! Thanks, Daniel Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84719

    - Internal Server Error when users try to access from a specific domain Hi, We have an AD forest with 5 domains and users (in the form of DOMAIN\Domain Users) from each domain have been given access to SharePoint. All but one of these domains are successfully authenticating to SharePoint. The other domain is getting an Internal Server Error whenever a user attempts to authenticate with the "DOMAIN\User name" format, regardless of whether the credentials they supply are correct or not. So basically, "ERP\john.doe" is not being authenticated and instead going straight to an Internal Server Error message. The other domains are working fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    - Alphabetization of Document Libraries and Items in Quick Launch Hello all, I have a question regarding the ability to alphabetize items which appear in lists contained within the Quick Launch bar within SharePoint sites. It may seem somewhat trivial I know :P, but I have a fairly large user base who have recently complained about this. It is not impacting them so much at the moment, but once they begin having 20-25 Document Libraries within their respective sites, it will become an issue if there is no auto-alphabetize available. I have attempted to run the sort_categories.vbs script on a POC SharePoint server that I have, but it did not run properly. The only other method I have found to sort these items alphabetically is to remove them all from the Quick Launch bar and then re-add them in the order which I desire. Does anyone know of a method to accomplish this portal-wide? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you! -David Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84717

    - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object. " The error I'm getting isn't helpful, so I thought I'd post here to see if anyone has any ideas. As far as I know there haven't been any changes to our SharePoint Portal Server recently. When I click on "My Site", it goes to my site, as expected. But then if I click on "Shared Documents" or "My Pictures" I get an error page. Error Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services. I thought maybe something happened to corrupt those 2 libraries, so I went to "Documents and Lists" and created a new Document Library named "My Documents". When I click on that link, I get the same error. Has this happened to anyone else? Does any one have any ideas as to what may be causing this? Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84716

    - 2003 Sharepoint Portal vs Sites I'm trying to determine the best way to build our new 2003 Sharepoint Portal Server and have a few questions. My company wants to have a new Portal for each department and a common portal that all of the other portals can see that houses the announcements and shared documents vs using one top-level portal with multiple sites (single database). My understanding of creating multple Portals is that I would get a new SQL database for each Portal. Does this concept allow me to share documents and announcements and things from the common portal to the other departmental portals? Will I have issues with the search facility because of the multiple databases? If this is possible can someone point me to a good document that explains how to setup sharepoint so that each portal is aware of the other and can share data. Design Exp: Common Portal - houses all of the corporate announcements and shared documents. HR Portal (Not Site) - belongs to Human Resources and is a separate portal from common but can see the announcements and shared documents from the Common Portal.

    - Publishing InfoPath Form Template without InfoPath Our company would like to automate process o publishing Form Template from InfoPath as much as possible. Published form templates will be available through custom web page with XMLFormView control. Process of uploading Form Template and activating it on server can be automated by stssadm.exe tool . Unfortunately uploading Form Template on server requires publishing .xsn Form Template to SharePoint as Administrator approved form template. Can I avoid publishing Form Template from InfoPath?

    - MOSS 2007 Menus So I've installed the beta and everything is working just dandy! After I installed the portal and created a Site Collection, using the Portal Enterprise Template, of course, I see a collection of "Tabs" at the top (i.e. Portal, Document Center, News, Reports, etc.). So far so good... When I go to create a new "tab" via creating a new site that inherits the Portal permissions and uses the "Top Link Bar" from its parent, I get a new tab (lets call it DepartmentA) - I used the Blank Site template. However, even if I don't have any content in it, DepartmentA still displays "Pictures, Lists, Discussion, Sites, Surveys, etc." as a dropdown off of the DepartmentA tab. I don't like this as it seems strange to me that it would do this. Instead, what I want is a list of the sites that I create under DepartmentA. For instance, my portal structure looks like this: Home -DepartmentA -SubSite1 -SubSite2 And so on - that's what I want my menuing structure to display. I've figured out that I can manually change this, but I don't want to do this every single time that I create a subsite off of my portal. Is there a way around this?

    - Adding Trusted NT Domain users We have recently merged with a company who is still running an NT domain (upgrade to our AD planned for Jan). In the meantime we need them to start accessing documents within SPS 2003. Now I have them all as contacts with the Exchange Alias and AD Description as DOMAIN_NT\user What I would like is when I add the user user@domain.com it would then population the User Name field with the Alias (All the local AD aliases are the user names), would this be possible? The reason is there is no standard format for the remote users, and I do not want a few hundred people here guessing a few hundred names there. And putting out a spreasheet with the details on it.

Now when I go to the sharepoint pivot view I get an indescriptive error: Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components Error (Title bar of the window) "failed to get data. If available, errors returned from the provider are listed below." There are none. What am I missing? Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84675

    - Spaces added when inserting user information When I add information about a user - say, Department - it seems that Sharepoint 2007 adds two spaces after the property value ("Sales" becomes "Sales "). Has anyone seen this before? Regards, Pedro Martins Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84674

    - MOSS 2007 Strange errors during backup process Using MOSS2007Beta2 install instructions from the MOSSDepoynment.doc except putting SSP service account into the WSS_Farm_Administrators windows group (bugfix for the unabling to make a shedule for crawling and MySite creating). The next problem appears during backup: I read backup manual from MS. It did not help me. 1) Choose Operations/Perform backup. 2) Choose the whole Farm backup (I have 1 computer installation with separate SQL2005 server) 3) Full backup to \\developer\portalBackup\Full 4) After the job is started the history shows the entryies like this: Backup Method Full Warnings 0 Errors 6 Failure Message Object SharedServices_Search_DB failed in event OnBackup. For more information, see the error log. The error log contains the messages like this: Object SharePoint_Config failed in event OnBackup. For more information, see the error log. SqlException: Cannot open backup device '\\developer\portalBackup\Full\spbr0000\0000000E.bak'. Operating system error 5(error not found). BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. But there are some files in that dir, created by the backup process (5mb approx), so there should be no problems with access rights. This is my own machine, so there is much free space... I do not know where to start to find the cause of this error. Tag: Data Connections & MOSS 2007 Tag: 84673

I can't seem to find how I can create a data connection in MOSS 2007. When
I go to the Data Connection Library, and I go under the "New" button - it
just allows me to create folders. Any tips?

Thanks!

Create .odc files through Microsoft Excel.
