SharePoint 2016 tutorials: Class Day 1

What/Why is SharePoint and use of it?

• SharePoint is browser based collaboration/web  platform. You can access it from anywhere.
• Enterprise Content management
• Example: Document Management [Sharing/versionsing/Checkin&Checkout/Permisisions/Search/Workflow process/Recycle Bin]
• Calendar(create tasks/schedule meeting/). We can easily integrate the outlook to SharePoint.
• services( BCS/Excel service and Reporting services etc..)
• Rich browser based UI Interface( like drap/drop of files to the document library etc.. )
• Authentication and Authorization: Single Sign on etc..
• yammer integration( Its similar to Face book, Twitter but only difference is these are public social networks and Yammer is private social network).
• Mutli-Language supports( 12 hive means it supports English language)
• REST API: Through REST API, we can interact directly with SharePoint objects by using any technology that support REST web request and can be easily perform CRUD operations.
• Office 365
• Apps, Cloud model

Software and hardware boundaries:

We should have basic understanding about on SharePoint software and hardware requirements before proceeding with the SharePoint. This helps us to decide whether  to go with SharePoint or not.

Example:

Migrate.net application project to SharePoint 2010/2013?

Before proceed to go with the migration, we should think about whether it really supports or not. For that it's better  to have an idea about on the software/hardware boundaries.  Let's say SharePoint 2010 supports .Net framework 3.5 but they have used  .Net framework 4.0/4.5 framework to develop the project. in this case SharePoint won't support it and migration is not possible.

Note: SharePoint always supports backward compatibility.

SharePoint list view web address is not displaying the absolute URL

Issue: SharePoint list web address is not displaying the absolute URL:

Description: Recently, we migrated SharePoint 2010 applications to 2013. While doing content validation in SP2013 to check whether all the metadata is migrated properly, we found an issue that most of the list web address is not showing the complete view URL. It is just showing web application URL.

Solution: You will face such type of issues if no view set as by default to the list. Check the list views and set any of the view by default and check, it will show the complete view URL.

Sharepoint interview questions with answers: lists and library

I had faced below listed issues while doing migration from SharePoint 2007/2010 to 2013:

Quick Edit view issue:

http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2014/12/fix-quick-edit-disabled-in-sharepoint-2013-issue.html

Quick Edit view: Result: Get "Assertion Failed: Break into debugger?"

http://www.brandmysharepoint.de/quickedit-in-listen-wirft-javascript-meldung/

We applied the JavaScript at master page level, issue solved.

“Files” and “library” option are not available by default in ribbon for document library:

Issue is it will be disabled if you add any web part to the OOB pages (like CEWP)

By default, SharePoint limitation for Size of URL is 260 characters.

You might get the below exception if exceed the limit:

Exception: The specified file or folder name is too long. The URL path for all files and folders must be 260 characters or less (and no more than 128 characters for any single file or folder name in the URL). Please type a shorter file or folder name.

Note: Microsoft recommended size limit for single file name is 128 characters and URL limit is 260 characters.

I have uploaded one document to the document library and when I open it through browser the size of the URL is 258 characters(max limit 260) and later on I have changed the web application “http://India.com” to http://allindia.test.IND.com and now my the document size of the URL is 263 characters(means exceeded the limit). My Question how the SharePoint handles these types of scenarios?

As per my analysis: you can’t edit/download the document but we can view the document through browser.

View the large number of records in SharePoint list/library:

We can view the large number of records (around 1lac) by removing the filters, group by/sort by and select the “Show items without folders” option.

Export to excel the list item with attachments:

We can achieve it by using the "Open with access" option. From there if wants we can directly download from the access.

Export to excel the list item with attachments URLs:

We can achieve it by using web service concept in Nintex

Export to Excel”. Keep in mind that you can’t export a list that has more than 52,000 items;
