• DrSudhaK Problema con la arquitectura de una aplicacion (referencias ciclicas)

  Hola, tengo un problema con la arquitectura de capas. Necesito que dos capas se comuniquen de forma reciproca la una con la otra y no se como hacerlo para no hacer referencias ciclicas. Espero que me podais ayudar, gracias. Shiveta, Una manera de aproximar este problema, si no puede ser evitado, es definir un conjunto externo de interfaces que definan las responsabilidades y funciones de cada capa en forma externa a la misma (normalmente en un assembly independiente), de forma tal que introducirlas como un tercer elemento rompan la referencia ciclica. De esta forma, cada una de las dos capas implementara las interfaces que le corresponden, a la vez que usara las interfaces opuestas para interactuar con la otra capa. Para terminar de ...Show All

• MarkSPA Moving MySites to a different farm in BTR

  Don't ask why I am trying to do this but I need to migrate a few MySites from a BTR installation to a different BTR installation so I then can upgrade them to RTM. It seems like the stsadm -backup/restore doesn't capture all the meta data and other dependencies tied in with MySites. Does anyone out there know a good way to achieve this I've tried the stsadm -export -includeusersecurity but I am getting all these "access denied" errors on export AND import. Needless to say, this is messy. Thanks, Rabbit I am getting the following error [2/27/2007 11:13:17 PM]: Progress: Initializing Import. [2/27/2007 11:14:17 PM]: Progress: Starting content import.

• barkingdog Calculated field in SharePoint list not displaying correctly in asp:dropdownlist control

  I have a simple SharePoint list which has three fields - two of which are single line text values and the third is a calculated field set to =[Field1] & ":" & [Field2]. The data in the list is fine. When I create a new aspx page, drop on the data source control and then the asp:dropdownlist control and bind the control to the source, I get items like this in my dropdown. "string;#Business:Business Model" "string;#Processes:Enabler" Any idea where the string;# is coming from This is an (annoying) artifact of calculated fields. Stripping off the "string;#" shouldn't cause any problems. ...Show All

• Tomas B The database 'mcms_db' is not an MCMS 2002 database

  So I am testing migration from an MCMS 2002 SP2 site to MOSS 2007 and I am running into this error whenever I try to run the Migration Profile tool in Central Admin: The database 'mcms_db' is not an MCMS 2002 database No other message, and no errors anywhere else (that I can find) I ran the assesment tool and I got no errors, but I did get some warnings dealing with extra indexes in a table I couldn't find (queue_messages_<some number sequence>) The warning tells me that the migration will not migrate the extra data, but that's fine with me. Currently the MCMS site still runs perfect, but for some reason MOSS doesn't recognize the database as an MCMS 2002 database. I even attached and tried a completely different database ...Show All

• erodcav Transaction across Applications

  HI, We have a Web application that consists of a Sharepoint web site with ASP.NET pages as web parts. In the admin module of the application, we have a provision to add a user. On adding a user through the application, the user is added in 3 places, namely in Active Directory (AD), SQL Server database and in Sharepoint database. All this is a part of ASP.NET code with no transaction happening through out the user creation. Now is there any way to impose a transaction in this process That is, until all three AD, Sharepoint and SQL Server databases are up and running and the creation of user happens with no errors, the new user must not be committed in all three databases. This is very critical as it causes inconsistency if the u ...Show All

• slein No context menu for Reporting Services

  I installed the RS add-in on my MOSS site and was able to publish reports to my Report Center site. So far so good.

  I have created a new MOSS 2007 portal, now I want to migrate document libraries and user and their permission from SharePoint 2003 to new portal in MOSS 2007.

     Welcome to this new forum, which is part of the SharePoint forums group that contains a comprehensive set of forums designed to cover all aspects of SharePoint Products and Technologies. I’ve held off on having these forums created for over a year because we already had a handful of newsgroups in place, but the benefits (search, moderation, filtering, stats, flexibility, planned enhancements, etc.) and the recent surge in usage have convinced me that it’s finally the right time to embrace forums as the de facto channel for community Q&A and discussion .      This particular forum is for topics about Excel Services capabilities in Office SharePoint Server.
