I'm preparing to run an export but am thoroughly confused by the -Identity parameter. The TechNet referencehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607847(v=office.15).aspx for this function says this should be the ID or Name of the site subscription to export. Online examples say it's the tsid value from the URL of the Term Store Tool. This is not the GUID for MMS app but the value of its ManageLink.Url property. Is this correct?? I'm wanting to export the entire term store in the hope that this will bring across the site-scoped ones as well, which I apparently then have to re-link.

That's good because I don't remember writing a blog post :) From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Monday, 5 May 2014 1:41 PM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: Export/Import Managed Metadata Hi Paul, Thanks for that. I came across your blog post on this and read it as part of my learning. :) Both the MMS Id and the TSID produced the same result in my case. I have no idea what the real difference between them is. Following the remaining steps I imported the file without error but the term group created at the Site Collection level was missing. I opened an SPTaxonomySession for the site and could see the Group and the Term Sets within. So I just wound up exporting these individually to CSV so that I could import them...one at a time...at the destination site. I'm hoping MS will provide a method to export and import complete Groups really soon, or drop support for new groups at the site level. It seems ridiculous to have to go through this.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated! Getting to the end of my bag of
tricks.
We have had Sharepoint 2010 running and stable for 18 months. Late last
week, we started having some random issues in our site collection that
include
* errors showing views and dvwp. Logs indicate that the site failed to
cache the field {various GUIDs}, Refreshing the page (sometimes twice) and
the view works again. The same view might open without error next time...
There is no consistency on which views across the site will fail
* attempting to open the item menu results in a message stating that the
item has been moved or deleted, refresh the page to try again. As above,
refreshing 2-3 times and the item menu will open again.
* conditional nintex workflows running when the criteria hasn't been met
Most significantly, there is no apparent similarities between where these
occur, different lists, library's, different sites. Across the board issues.
There were no scheduled server or application changes before the issue
started.
I have tried rebooting, and a Sharepoint repair. I only have the one site
collection, but the central admin isn't experiencing any issues. I suspect
it's an issue in the content database.
As this is a production environment, that is still mostly functional (though
through a few refreshes) I am planning a course of action to run over the
weekend, I would appreciate any suggestions on what I could look at. I am
considering exporting the content database, deleting it and then creating a
new one before importing, thinking it might be an issue in the content DB.
Running out of ideas
Thanks for your time

Innovation Games workshop with Andrew Woodward in Perth in October
Hi all It was asked on this list a while back about getting Andrew Woodward over to Australia to run an innovation games workshop. I'm very pleased that this is going to happen on October 25-26 in Perth. Also, in that same week I will be running my introductory Dialogue Mapping course (October 22-23). Andrew, apart from his well-known SharePoint competencies is one of a handful of qualified Innovation Games instructors in the world. Before my eastern states brethren ask, sorry but this is a Perth event only. Both the Eagles and Dockers aren't in the AFL finals now, so it's fair that the west gets something to cheer us up! :) So this does mean a trip out west if you wish to attend, but much fun and frivolity is guaranteed. It is a once-off event and it should be a great week actually. Please register your interest via this site for innovation games: http://igaus-eventful.eventbrite.com.au/ and this site http://imperth.eventbrite.com.au/ for the issue mapping course. The events will be held at the Australian Institute of Management WA and an official registration site will be up soon. regards Paul Culmsee | Seven Sigma Business Solutions | Tel: +61 8 9355 1500 | Mob: +61 410 533 585 Read my Bookhttp://www.hereticsguidebooks.com/ - Follow me on Twitterhttp://www.twitter.com/paulculmsee - Read my Bloghttp://www.cleverworkarounds.com/ Join Seven Sigma at the SharePoint Governance and Information Architecture Master Classeshttp://www.spgovia.com/ and the Issue Mapping Master Class http://www.issuemappingclass.com/ around the world in 2011 and 2012 ___ ozmoss mailing list ozmoss@ozmoss.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozmoss

Doing a SharePoint caveats talk soon - send me your good'uns
Hi all Michal Pisarek and I are doing a talk in March about various SharePoint caveats. The audience is not really tech, but the purpose of the talk is to save people the pain of proceeding on an untested assumption and then finding out far too late that the logical edifice they have built has come crashing down. But it seems that there are around 2-3 common gotchas with most SharePoint components - and the newer the component the more the gotchas. Some of the big ones people know about are things like managed metadata support for InfoPath/SharePoint workspace. So if you have any caveats that has nailed you, would you mind sharing them with this list or mailing them to me? I'm sure each of us has a couple of good ones :) What's the biggest issue/caveat that's nailed you?

But it seems that there are around 2-3 common gotchas with most SharePoint components - and the newer the component the more the gotchas. Some of the big ones people know about are things like managed metadata support for InfoPath/SharePoint workspace. So if you have any caveats that has nailed you, would you mind sharing them with this list or mailing them to me? I'm sure each of us has a couple of good ones :) What's the biggest issue/caveat that's nailed you?

RE: 2010 service account warning
Hi Paul I always run things in least privilege configuration and the only time I run the farm account as an admin is when I am: 1. Provisioning the user profile service 2. Applying a service pack or cumulative update After install I always revoke the local administrators right. The effect is a couple of DCOM fixes need to be made but for most installs that usually is about it. For a dev box I think its really important to run it this way, because otherwise something that might work perfectly fine in dev may not work when deployed to prod which is more likely to be least-privilege. regards Paul From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Tuesday, 23 August 2011 11:24 AM To: ozMOSS (ozmoss@ozmoss.com) Subject: 2010 service account warning Hi guys, We've just installed our 2010 dev farm.

The more I look into this, the more perplexed I become. The opinions on whether the SP_Farm account should be in this group appear divided.

Free web part for the Copenhagen conference
Hiya I hope the list won't mind this small plug.. we have been doing some interesting work lately in a non SharePoint (but related) collaboration discipline and through that, embarked in a new initiative that includes releasing a free web part for any organisations who might be interested in following what's happening. http://www.copenhagensummitmap.org/ The above site was the brainchild of my colleague Chris Tomich, who would be known to some as an occasional contributor to this list. He recognised the importance of the Copenhagen summit in terms of a massive worldwide collaboration event on a very complex problem, and hit upon the idea of pooling the expertise of some sense-making practitioners around the world to create a living view of the conference as it unfolds. The intention is to build a rich map of information taken from a variety of sources including live/delayed web casts of the conference and any other materials made available from the conference. The process of building the maps aims to be unbiased and all information is considered suitable content for the maps. This is essentially a wiki on steroids crossed between a debate tool. It allows people to rapidly understand the issues of the debate via visual exploration, as opposed to viewing a bunch of web casts or reading 50-100 page discussion papers. By placing this webpart somewhere on your SharePonint portals, you offer your colleagues a different glimpse of what is going on in Denmark. I also blogged http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2009/12/14/sharepoint-debategraph-and-cope nhagen-2009-collaboration-on-a-global-scale/ about it the other day, with more detail and some screencasts to further convey the idea.

That seems like the easiest approach based on the OOTB options.
Create a checkbox at the top of the form that will set the display for the
form. Better still, have two. One for View1 and one for View2 - e.g. Submit
Leave Application and Approve Leave Application. You can also audience
target sections of a form I believe but it's been a long time since I've had
to play with that evil program. :0

I cannot use a button for this though. My options are ( I imagine):
1) Create a button that's not visible, and try to create an event to
press that button when the user selects the checkbox (anyone ever done

2) Switch views when the user selects the checkbox (what I am trying to

Interesting metadata issue with Office 2003 SP2 and MOSS 2007 SP2
Hiya I have a site where one user reported that metadata was being 'lost' when saving a document to a particular doc lib from Word 2003. When I checked it out, the problem is actually on the document load. The user loads the document into Word from the affected doc lib, and when you check the properties in word (file-properties with that poor-mans document info panel), it is clear that the metadata has not been populated from the doc lib. Therefore when they save, blank metadata is written back, hence the perception that metadata is lost. The affected user has full control access to the site, and all other doc libs are unaffected. Not only does the metadata not populate, some columns are not even displayed in properties dialog. I log on as a different user, and suddenly I see the metadata, as well as additional columns. If the affected user logs in via another PC, the issue remains. Try any other document library on the site, and it is all fine. SP2 was installed 3 weeks ago and that seems to be around when users first noticed the issue. This is a pretty stock site who have been running happily for a year now. No naughty customisations, happy logs, good response time and no memory leaks. Has anybody else seen this one or similar behaviour before? It's a new one for me...

RE: Site features vs site collection features
I’m glad Metallica helped J. Now if you want to understand document management look no further than death metal (Opeth) and to understand site definitions vs site templates I use boy-bands (cleverworkarounds site). Anyway back to your observations... I meddled with the forces you are meddling with a long time ago. If you disable the features after enabling, they do not get removed and that’s quite deliberate and I blogged about the behaviour in my 2007 branding series. Mind you, if you manually create a pages library and then try and activate the publishing feature, it barfs about it already being there. Based on that presumption, I think that your prognosis is likely right but I’m not an expert on content deployment. It sounds like content deployment tries to ensure that all required artefacts are there and doesn’t rely on the feature being there (this is counter intuitive to me but as I said I’m not an expert on content deployment).

Are these features also responsible for the switch from usageDetails.aspx to SpUsageWeb.aspx when accessing Site Usage Report?

Re: Unknown errors with people and groups
Hi mate What made my spider senses single here is the fact that you said reparented after import. Although I did not experience your error, I had weird side effects in doing this too and the legendary Gary lapointe saved my butt :-) http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2007/11/14/gary-lapointe-is-a-genius-and-has-good-music-taste-too/ [1] I may be miles off, but that word reparenting and publishing feature makes me think it smells similar..

RE: SQL Timer Jobs
That smells like your machine account has expired in Active directory or something like that, or when you brought it back up, it now has a new SID in Active directory, but the SQL server still has the old SID in its permissions and is barfing. I've had this sort of thing before. You might need to do a little manual surgery in SQL Server permissions?

J The first GUID is a fairly generic service ID but the second one is for the Config Refresh timer job.

Thanks for the query tips. I was hoping to use Mike Stringfellow's suggestion of exporting the sitecollection and then search the XML for any reference to those GUIDs. Unfortunately it's a little large for either an export or backup using standard STSADM commands. Does anyone know if there's an option to export/backup a sitecollection WITHOUT content??

Not a very elegant solution, but if you can't find any other way it should provide you what you need. If you use a SQL query to look in tables like: Sites Webs Lists Webparts and look in one of the first couple of columns you can guess which column is the GUID. You can also try tables/views starting with All. So for example you might use SQL Management Studio to run a query like: select * from lists I can then see the the tp_id column is probably the GUID (tp_WebID is not unique in the table so that's not the one - this is showing which Web the list is related to I guess). So I'd then run the following query searching for the particular GUID's you're interested in: select * from lists where tp_id like '%C91183C6-0AA9-451A-A282-952D7E88A85A'%' or tp_id like '%C5271BBD-917E-4A5E-9331-FCB3E1683597%' Alternatively, I can give you some code (a SQL cursor) that will look through every field in every table in a database. That may put a significant load on the SQL server, if you're content databases are more than a few GBs. But it would save you time looking through the tables yourself. Hope that helps! P.S. My background is in SQL, I'm just learning Sharepoint.

Most were references to an old SSP which didn't seem to get deleted properly. Others were to files/paths which no longer existed. But I have it a wall with the following. Every minute I get two errors on the SQL box regarding connection issues with one of the WFEs (we have two but only one is throwing errors!). SQL Profiler shows the following two lines that match the event logs but how can I work out which site, web or list is responsible from the GUID?
