Maximum number of items in a list
Morning all, We have a list that contains a large number of items (60,000 at present, +3,000/month). I'm looking at assessing a) the risk of letting it continue (actual maximum limit?) and b) improving performance as it's become a bit sluggish. I know the maximum supported number of items in any one list/container is 2,000. We really didn't see much of a performance hit until maybe 20-30,000 items. The list itself contains a couple of standard column lookups, a custom field (custom query-based lookup), and some simple workflows fired on create. The performance of the main view users use is sufficient, with a filtered view to display only recent data. However exporting all data to Excel (they use pivot tables and charts) takes ~3m. For anyone who's dealt with large lists, how have you approached this? Has anyone run into any real 'uh oh' surprise dead-end problems with large lists? I'm still researching this, but at the moment considering breaking the list into multiple containers. It'll be a pain for reporting on the information as it'll be disjointed. Users might need to butt the list data together in Excel before reporting.. not ideal. Any pointers?

RE: Maximum number of items in a list
Cheers Paul. Yeah I think if we divide the containers we'll do it by root list rather than sub-folders so it's really clear to the users which section is which (and there's a site basically dedicated to this list so shouldn't be a problem). I envisioned dividing it by item date created but that's a good point.. by dept might be good too. What tool would you use to actually move the items?

RE: Lookup Column rendering
Hey Daniel, I recall last time I looked at something like this, I found that the default SharePoint rendering for a drop-down with more than 20 items in it is a 'typable-innable' drop-down, and a 'non-typable-innable' drop-down control if it contains less than 20. Or maybe it was the other way around. And maybe it wasn't exactly 20 but close to it J Try inserting over 20 / removing to under 20 items and see if the behaviour changes. In the end we used a custom control to avoid it.

Infopath
Hey all, Until this point I've managed to avoid Infopath like a plague because it's never quite clicked with me. I'm now looking at making recommendations for our users and I'm trying to understand the appropriate logical workflow behind saving them to libraries and making good use of them. The scenario is a user from one dept will create and partially complete a form from template and save in the library. Someone else will then come by and complete/update it. By default (if it's configured as a web form) you can submit / save / save as. I only want users 'Submitting' forms back to the library, not on their desktop or anything so I went into 'Open and Save' options and disabled save and save as. Now I only get Submit, Close and Print which is good. I'm then a little puzzled as to why when filling the form out and hitting Submit followed by Close, it prompts me to save it (?). The right choice here is to hit 'no' because it's already submitted it to the library, but the intuitive choice for a user is to hit 'yes'. Ideally I'd like it not to display that prompt at all, because I configured it to display a dialogue on successful submission - Your form has been successfully saved. Anyone know if there's a way to disable this specific save prompt? Another quirk I find here is that by giving users a chance to save it separately here, it allows them to name the file themselves, bypassing the default / correct naming standard configured for form submission. This would introduce the possibility of duplicate forms being recorded if they first hit Submit, then were prompted to save again (everybody loves 'Jan 2 temp.docx', right? ;). Ideally I'd have the form close by itself on successful submission - no need to hit Close. So it seems there is a difference between 'saving' and 'submitting' - what do you guys use? Submit, save, a combination? Advantages either way? Cheers, Chris image001.png___ ozmoss mailing list ozmoss@ozmoss.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozmoss

If you want to avoid manually renaming files, there are tools out there to mass-rename and remove these characters. Couldn't give you an example off the top of my head but I know we used one here.

RE: Site Description appears on all pages
I think SP needs all its placeholder's somewhere on the page just to be able to render the page, don't they? I recall if you remove required placeholders, the page won't compile.

Pre-generated list order numbers
Afternoon folks, I have a need to create a SP list which, when users create a new list item entry, a new unique 'order' number will be presented to them and displayed on the newform.aspx, before the list item is actually created. So the first thing they see is a unique number (which stays with the item as a key value when they commit it and is from that point forward not changeable), followed by normal editable fields for the list item. Anyone done anything like this before? I'm thinking of creating two lists, one being the aforementioned list (call it list A) and the 2nd being a 'administration' list which essentially contains a variable/value of the last used number. When someone hits new on list A, it increments the value and gives the next number. To do that, I'd need to edit newform.aspx to display the new ID value, then somehow store it with the list item when it gets committed and make it not editable on editform.aspx. Anyone know of any better ways to achieve something like this?

Item scheduling link
Afternoon all, If you have the Office SharePoint Server Publishing feature enabled on your site, and versioning with major and minor versions enabled on a list, you will see the 'Manage Item Scheduling' option in the Document Library's settings. When you follow the link you're presented with the option to enable/disable this on the doclib, but when you hit OK, you're returned to the Site settings page rather than the Document Library's settings page. Wrong link perhaps or anyone know if this by design? No biggie, just an observation.

Multiple workflows per VS project
Hey guys, I'm creating a workflow solution using VSeWSS 1.3. I have 3 sequential workflows to create which I was expecting to add to the same project, deploy as a single assembly in a feature and away I go. However, the VSeWSS Sequential Workflow template comes with a feature.xml and workflow.xml, and the workflow.xml relates to the existing workflow. If I add new workflows to the project, it doesn't create a workflow.xml for each one, so I can create new ones manually, each named the same as the workflows(.xml), but VS doesn't let you rename the original workflow.xml (right-click, no rename/delete). My additional element manifests don't seem to be included in the deploy either, resulting in a file not found error. This kind of suggests that you're supposed to leave it as is, even though you can change the element manifest filename reference in feature.xml. Would I have to create one project per workflow? Then I'd have 3 different features to activate in the portal, when really they're all part of the same solution. Thoughts/Ideas?

RE: Multiple workflows per VS project
Thanks M, When I mentioned that workflow.xml has no delete/rename, I was talking about Solution View. Actually, my WSP view is completely empty. I thought it was some kind of fault but then I wasn't sure if workflows were packaged that way; so they definitely are? I have no files listed in the WSP view.. I read somewhere you need to do a release build to build the WSP first, which I've done, but no dice, nada. Sorry, not sure what you mean you say pkg folder - this is in the Solution Explorer?

The tasks were due to be completed by the 27th March. Some of the reviewers completed their tasks before the due date and some didn't.

The workflow is still in progress and is set to terminate when all tasks are complete. I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this scenario?

RE: Backup Issue
Hi Imran, I don't see any attachments on your last email. Did you attach it? Does the list server filter these? Cheers, Chris From: ozmoss@ozmoss.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Imran Syed Sent: Monday, 8 December 2008 13:46 PM To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subject: Backup Issue Hi All, I am facing an issue in the MOSS 2007 backup. When I try to backup MOSS, it fails with the error shown in the attached jpeg file, even though it has got ample free space on the disk. The backup size is 6.3 GB Available space on disk is 80 GB. I feel that it is a bug in the system. Please let me know if anyone has experienced similar issue.
