SharePoint Difference between Backup/Restore and Export/Import

Difference between Backup/Restore and Export/Import

Backup-SPSite:

Backup-SPSite is generally used when you want to replicate the entire site collection (including all subsites) to an existing web application.

It allows you to backup either a site collection or web application.
You can basically consider the file generated more or less as a SQL dump of (a part of) your content database.It preserves the GUID of every object except the GUID of the Site.
When you restore the backup, SharePoint generates a new GUID for the site collection.

Export-SPWeb:
Export-SPWeb is generally used when you want to replicate just a single subsite to an existing site collection, that allows you to backup data of a sub site (SPWeb object), but it can also export a site collection, an entire web application, or a single list. It generates a new GUID for every objects such as sites, sub sites, lists and items.

A major drawback of this operation is that it does not preserves workflows instances, associations, history and tasks.Every workflow association must be recreated and there is no way to restore the running instances from original site.

Export/import is often used to split site collections into multiple pieces when they reached a certain limit. Or to do the vice versa and consolidate multiple site collections into one larger one. Both of these actions work fine as long as the migrated content does not use the publishing feature.

Example for Subsite backup and restore:

Export-SPWeb -Identity http://spsdemo:9999/Subsite1 -Path "D:\Exports\Subsite1"
Import-SPWeb http://spsdemo:6666/Subsite2 -Path "D:\Exports\Subsite1.cmp"

Example for list backup and restore:

Export-SPWeb http://spsdemo:9999/ -ItemUrl "/Lists/Test%20docs/" -Path "D:\Exports\TestDoc"
Import-SPWeb -Identity http://spsdemo:6666 -Path "D:\Exports\TestDoc.cmp"

How to find a managed property name in SharePoint 2013

How to find a managed property name in SharePoint 2013
Open SharePoint site
Settings
Site Settings
find: Search Schema (Under ...Site Collection Administration)
Click on: Search Schema
Type your site column name which you want to find Managed property, at Managed property Text box.
Click --> button.
You will find Managed property of your site column.
Note: SharePoint will automatically create managed properties for site columns.
So when you are working with Crawl, create a site column and add that site column to List.

Sharepoint SPQuery vs SPSiteDataQuery

Sharepoint SPQuery vs SPSiteDataQuery
The SPQuery class is used to build query strings to filter or retrieve the specific set of data programmatically from a SP List object.
Syntax: SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = <Where><Eq><FieldRef Name= “colname”/><Value type=”text”>filter parameter</value></Eq></Where>;
SPSiteDataQuery is used for cross-site and cross-list searching. SPSiteDataQuery can be used to search in all lists of a particular list type or list base type located in either the complete site collection or a particular site and sub-sites.
SPSiteDataQuery query = new SPSiteDataQuery();
query .ViewFields = “<FieldRef Name=”Title”/>”;
query .Lists = “<Lists ServerTemplate=”101″/>”;
query .Webs = “<Webs Scope=”SiteCollection”/>”;
query .Query = “<Where>” +
“<Contains>” +
“<FieldRef Name=”Title”/>” +
“<Value Type=”Text”>Conditional Parameter </Value>” +
“</Contains>” +
“</Where>”;
SPSite site = new SPSite(http://SP2010);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
DataTable dt = web.GetSiteData(query);
dt.Rows[0]["Title"]);
Points To Remember
Eq = Equal.
NEq= not equal conditions.
FieldRef Keeps the column name on which we want to apply the query.
Value Keeps the parameter for the query column.
We can use / before column name with / tags to have the corresponding NULL condition checks.

K2 blackpearl Connections Strings

K2 blackpearl Connections Strings
When creating a programmatic connection to K2 (typically via either the SourceCode.Workflow.Client or SourceCode.Workflow.Management APIs) there are a number of connection options that can be used. I wanted to highlight a couple of common scenarios here.
First of all, the easiest way to create a K2 connection string is via the SCConnectionStringBuilder (SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.SCConnectionStringBuilder). I will show 3 common connection string builder scenarios.

Some basic assumptions before we begin:
- These examples will assume the default blackpearl security lables are in place, where the 'K2' security label equates to Active Directory and the 'K2SQL' security label works with the SQL User Manager.
- Connection strings to the workflow server are shown (as denoted by the port = 5252) for use when making a Workflow.Client connection. If you wish to connect to Workflow.Management or SmartObjects.Client, then you will use port 5555.

1. Make a connection under the currently Windows Identity that is running this code:
SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.SCConnectionStringBuilder builder =
new SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.SCConnectionStringBuilder();
builder.Authenticate = true;
builder.Host = "localhost";
builder.Port = 5252;
builder.Integrated = true;
builder.IsPrimaryLogin = true;
builder.SecurityLabelName = "K2";

2. Force the connection under a specific AD Identity
(Note: a Domain Name, User ID and Password must be provided)
SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.SCConnectionStringBuilder builder =
new SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.SCConnectionStringBuilder();
builder.Authenticate = true;
builder.Host = "localhost";
builder.Port = 5252;
builder.Integrated = true;
builder.IsPrimaryLogin = true;
builder.SecurityLabelName = "K2";
builder.WindowsDomain = "k2demo";
builder.UserID = "carolm";
builder.Password = "k2pass";

3. Make a connection that authenticates against the K2 SQL User Manager
SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.SCConnectionStringBuilder builder =
new SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.SCConnectionStringBuilder();
builder.Authenticate = true;
builder.Host = "localhost";
builder.Port = 5252;
builder.Integrated = false;
builder.IsPrimaryLogin = true;
builder.SecurityLabelName = "K2SQL";
builder.UserID = "jdoe";
builder.Password = "k2pass";
Once you have the connection string builder populated you can use it in the various API connections.

For example, some common ones:
1. SourceCode.Workflow.Client (for workflow interaction)
NOTE: the port used here would be 5252
SourceCode.Workflow.Client.Connection oConn = new SourceCode.Workflow.Client.Connection();
oConn.Open("localhost", builder.ConnectionString);
2. SourceCode.Workflow.Management (for administrative functionality)
NOTE: the port used here would be 5555
SourceCode.Workflow.Management.WorkflowManagementServer oConn = new SourceCode.Workflow.Management.WorkflowManagementServer();
oConn.CreateConnection();
oConn.Connection.Open(builder.ConnectionString);
3. SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client (for SmartObject interaction)
NOTE: the port used here would be 5555
SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectClientServer oConn = new SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectClientServer();
oConn.CreateConnection();
oConn.Connection.Open(builder.ConnectionString);

SharePoint 2010: Workflow failed to run after pause

Consider the following scenario:
 
A SharePoint 2010 farm has a Web Front End Server with the “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application” service running and a separate Application Server with the “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service” running (The server does not have the Web Application service running).
A workflow has been queued for resumption and the Application server with the Workflow Timer Service tries to resume the workflow but fails.
 
In this scenario the application server fails to resume the Workflow timer service and the workflow gets stuck in "In progress" status. The Workflow History list shows "workflow failed to run." message
 
SharePoint ULS log entries may include the following:
 
OWSTIMER.EXE (0x0E5C) 0x2184 SharePoint Foundation Workflow Infrastructure 72fu Unexpected Load Workflow Class: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWinOeHostServices.EnsurePluggableServices(SPSite site, SPWorkflowExternalDataExchangeServiceCollection services, ExternalDataExchangeService existingServices) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWinOeHostServices..ctor(SPSite site, SPWeb web, SPWorkflowManager manager, SPWorkflowEngine engine)
 
OWSTIMER.EXE (0x0E5C) 0x2184 SharePoint Foundation Workflow Infrastructure 98d8 Unexpected System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWinOeHostServices.EnsurePluggableServices(SPSite site, SPWorkflowExternalDataExchangeServiceCollection services, ExternalDataExchangeService existingServices) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWinOeHostServices..ctor(SPSite site, SPWeb web, SPWorkflowManager manager, SPWorkflowEngine engine)
 
OWSTIMER.EXE (0x0D64) 0x0E98 SharePoint Foundation Workflow Infrastructure frg9 Medium Workflow could not be run because SPWebApplication.UpdateWorkflowConfigurationSettings was not previously called, and the Web Application service has been disabled on this server. Call UpdateWorkflowConfigurationSettings or turn on the Web Application service for this server.
 
 
Cause:
 
The Workflow Timer Service tries to read the workflow batchsize settings from the web.config or configuration database for a web application. By default, the batchsize setting is in web.config file if the server is running the Web Application service.
 
If the Web Application service is not running on the same server and script in Method 1 (under the 'Resolution' section) has not been run, the batchsize setting is neither in the web.config file nor in the configuration database, then the operation fails.
 
Solution:
Method 1:
 
Locate one Web Front End server which has Web Application service running, run the following PowerShell command to copy workflow-related configuration from the web.config to the configuration database so it will be available from every server in the Farm.
 
• $webapp = Get-SPWebApplication -identity http://<web app name>
• $webapp.UpdateWorkflowConfigurationSetttings()
 
Method 2:
 
Start the Web Application Service on all servers that have the Workflow Timer Service running.
 
Method 3:
 
Disable the Workflow Timer Service on servers that are not running the Web Application service

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The security validation for this page is invalid. in SharePoint 2010

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The security validation for this page is invalid. in SharePoint 2010
Solution:
Change the web application validation settings in Central Administration > Web Application General Settings Page.
Got to page “Web Page Security Validation” and select Security Validation is “Off” radio button.
But this will off the page validation for the complete web application and you can’t take this risk.
To resolve this we have web application’s from digest settings property which we can turf before executing the code and turn on once the site has been created using the SharePoint object Model.
Disabling the from digest :-
SPWebapplication.FormDigestSettings.Enabled = false;
Enabling the from digest :-
SPWebapplication.FormDigestSettings.Enabled = true;
SPWebapplication’s FromDigestSettings property is type of SPFormDigestSettings which related to Web page security validation. The security validation is specific to a user, site, and time period and expires after a configurable amount of time. When the user requests a page, the server returns the page with security validation inserted. When the user then submits the form, the server verifies the security validation and if it has changed, program execution is halted and a security exception is raised.

SharePoint 2013 Online How to Create Page Layout

SharePoint 2013 Online Creating the Page Layout
1.SharePoint Designer 2013
2.Design Manager
SharePoint Designer 2013 :
Open your web site with SharePoint Designer 2013
Go to the Page Layouts Panel and click on New Page Layout
Name the file JobPostingSPD.aspx->specify JobPostingSPD in the url.
Display the ToolBox Pane by clicking on the View Ribbon-Task Panes menu : the Toolbox Pane will show up on the right side of the window; in the SharePoint Controls group, you will find your Content Type fields :
Open your aspx page and type the following lines in the PlaceHolderMain (we won’t use html tables):
<ul>
<li><span>Title</span></li>
<li><span>Des</span></li>
<li><span>Req</span></li>
</ul>
The good practice when usying css styles is to share them in a separate file.
Now to each </span>, drag and drop the correspond field from the Toolbox :
Also, as a developer it is worth noting that the layout page is derived from the: Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingLayoutPage
Go to the Pages library, add the JobPosting content type.
Go to the Pages library and add a new document : the JobPosting content type should be visible

Use below javascript code to read Managed Metadata
function onSuccess(sender, args) {
var objlistEnumerator = objlistItems.getEnumerator();
while (objlistEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var objListItem = objlistEnumerator.get_current();
var i;
var cc=objListItem.get_item('MMDCol').get_count();
for (i=0;i<cc;i++){
alert(objListItem.get_item('MMDCol').get_item(i).$0_1);//Term
alert(objListItem.get_item('MMDCol').get_item(i).$1_1);//Guid
alert(objListItem.get_item('MMDCol').get_item(i).$2_1);//WSSID
}
}
}

SharePoint JS Links

SharePoint JS Links
#1 – JSLink supports multiple JavaScript files
JSLink allows you to attach multiple files. Yes, multiple JavaScript files and I am pretty serious about that. You may set them via “|” separator like this:
“~sitecollection/Style Library/spdevlab/spdevlab.multiple-1.js|~sitecollection/Style Library/spdevlab/spdevlab.multiple-2.js ”
#2 – JSLink supports (d) tag to specify SOD registration
You may specify “(d)” tag-string at the end of the file link. In that case, your file is not going to be loaded immediately, but will be registered with SOD to be queried later.
So, the following JSLink would produce one script including with “script” tag and two SOD registration:
“~sitecollection/Style Library/spdevlab/spdevlab.multiple-1.js|~sitecollection/Style Library/spdevlab/spdevlab.multiple-2.js(d)|~sitecollection/Style Library/spdevlab/spdevlab.multiple-3.js(d)”
The outcome would be like this:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/sites/dev4/style%20library/spdevlab/spdevlab.multiple-1.js?ctag=0$$15.0.4420.1017″></script>
Also, you will get the SOD registration for the two other files:
<script type=”text/javascript”>RegisterSod(“~sitecollection/style library/spdevlab/spdevlab.multiple-2.js”, “\u002fsites\u002fdev4\u002fstyle\u002520library\u002fspdevlab\u002fspdevlab.multiple-2.js”);</script>
<script type=”text/javascript”>RegisterSod(“~sitecollection/style library/spdevlab/spdevlab.multiple-3.js”, “\u002fsites\u002fdev4\u002fstyle\u002520library\u002fspdevlab\u002fspdevlab.multiple-3.js”);</script>
That’s interesting, but the SOD key for your JS file would be exactly like the original file name. Even with the tokens such as “~site” or “~sitecollection”.
#3 – You can’t overwrite JSLink for some of the fields
Overriding JSLink property via field xml definition or c# code is a nice way to link your JavaScript file to the particular field. However, not all the fields could be overwritten this way.
For example, Taxonomy field has the following JSLink definition:
// Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomyField
public override string JSLink
{
get
{
return "SP.UI.Taxonomy.js|SP.UI.Rte.js(d)|SP.Taxonomy.js(d)|ScriptForWebTaggingUI.js(d)";
}
}
This means you cannot modify the look and feel for your Taxonomy field. Also, you can’t do that for Taxonomy, Related Items or Task Outcome field. All of these fields return particular JSLink which can’t be changed.
Frankly saying, you still may change look and feel of these fields, but you need to register your JavaScript file on the site collection level and make sure it gets loaded on every page. It could be done with custom action or any other methods to deliver JavaScript file within the site collection scope.
#4 – There are several JavaScript files with client render templates
You may have already seen and explore “clienttemplates.js” file as it has most of the client render definitions for the SharePoint fields. However, there are several JavaScript files with different fields templates. Here they are:
clienttemplates.js – for the most of the fields
Geolocationfieldtemplate.js – for SPFieldGeolocation
sp.ui.relateditems.js – for RelatedItemsField
choicebuttonfieldtemplate.js – for OutcomeChoiceField
SP.UI.Taxonomy.js – for the Taxonomy field
These files could be useful for exploring and learning out of the box API or other tricky stuff for the field rendering in SharePoint 2013. Enjoy!
#5 – There more than ~site/~sitecollection tokens supported by JSLink
In fact, internally, JSLink comes to the ScriptLink web control to register all JavaScript files. As an outcome, JSLink also supports the following tokens:
~site
~sitecollection
~layouts
~siteLayouts
~siteCollectionLayouts
This is quite cool as, for example, ~layouts token depends on the current compatibility level of the target site and could be either “_layouts/14″ or “_layouts/15″. This might be not critical for the custom field rendering, but for something else.

SharePoint App Model

SharePoint App Model
SharePoint is supporting 3 type of App Development..
1.SharePoint-hosted apps
2.Provider-hosted apps
3. Autohosted apps
1.SharePoint-hosted apps
Provisions an isolated sub web on a parent web. The app webs site gets it’s own unique sub-domain (browser cross domain policy). This is important to separate one app from each other app. Use lists, out-of-box web parts. No server-side code allowed, client JavaScript only.
2.Provider-hosted apps
Bring your own server hosting infrastructure. Use the programming language of your choice and callback to SharePoint via the OData API. There is also an option to create remote event receivers.
3.Autohosted apps
Windows Azure Web Site and SQL Azure Database provisioned automatically when app is installed.

Some times you will get undeifned error in JS links.
The reason would be the list view is not having that column name. Change the list view in the webpart section it will work.
