InfoPath Designer 2013 - Network Path was not found

$
0
0

Hey,

I am currently building an InfoPath form (Designer 2013) for a SharePoint Library.

I am opening and editing the form in 'advanced settings' of the Library.

From here I can work through some changes and quick publish with no problems.

At an indeterminable point, my quick publish stops working and says "network path not found". I don't believe its a connectivity issue as it persists.

I can publish the form to a new library, but then cannot update the new form with another publish as I meet the same error message.

Does anyone have a similar experience? Am I corrupting the file by messing around with conditional formats etc?

thanks


Event Viewer logs serveral errors a minute (Event ID 555) when SharePoint Developer 2013 workflow runs

Hello all,

A colleague and I have created a SharePoint Designer 2013 list workflow that runs whenever a document library item is updated.

When we check the workflow history for the document library items, the workflow completes successfully. However, it fills up the Event Log (under Applications and Services - Microsoft-Workflow - Operational) with several entries per minute.

 

Microsoft-Workflow Operational Errors

I've tried to track down the error myself and have worked with Microsoft Premier Support on it, but we can't figure out what could be happening. The error message is:

Error processing management request. Method: POST, RequestUri: <workflowmanager server:12291/NotificationManagement/$Notifications/?$expectedScopeRevision=0, Error: System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added.

   at Microsoft.Workflow.Common.AsyncResult.End[TAsyncResult](IAsyncResult result)

   at Microsoft.Workflow.Gateway.HttpAsyncResult.End[TAsyncResult](IAsyncResult result)

   at Microsoft.Workflow.Gateway.PublishWorkflowEventAsyncResult.End(IAsyncResult result)

   at Microsoft.Workflow.Gateway.WorkflowServiceGateway.ExceptionFilter[T](Func`1 body)

   at System.Threading.Tasks.TaskFactory`1.FromAsyncCoreLogic(IAsyncResult iar, Func`2 endFunction, Action`1 endAction, Task`1 promise, Boolean requiresSynchronization)

 Have any of you seen this error before? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Kevin

No prompt anymore after sucessfully upload a webpart from sharepoint designer 2013 to sharepoint 2013 site

Dear reader,

Please look at this procedure:

http://www.wonderlaura.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=daba3a3b-c338-41d8-bf52-cd897d000cf3&ID=76&Web=dbb90e85-b54c-49f4-8e97-6d8258116ca0 

I succesfully did this once with sharepoint designer 2013. But now i get stuck at step 6. Sharepoint designer doesnt prompt this anymore.

When importing the new files it says: "list doesn't excists. selected page contains a list which doesn't exist. Possibly it has been removed by another user".  The strange thing is, that the list does excists!

Tried to export the same list again under a different name, but with no result. The missing prompt is the issue i think. Does anybody know how the get the prompt back?

Kind regards,

An error occurred while trying to connect to a Web service, when InfoPath web enabled form loads.

Hi Everyone,

I am getting an error message: An error occurred while trying to connect to a web service, when my InfoPath form tries to load.  The last few days, it only spits this error message in the morning and around 12pm-1pm it resolves itself and the form loads fine the rest of the day, oddly enough. 

A few things about my form:

1). It is web enabled

2). The form submits to a form library on the SP server

3). I use the UserProfileService data connection in the form to auto-populate a few fields

4). I use a udcx file with correct language stored in the root of the site collection in the data connection library

5). The form has been working fine until a few days ago

I noticed while in Central Administration, that the User Profile Service Synchronization is Stopped.  Not sure if this is causing some or all of the problem. If I need to start it I will need to contact my farm administrator to do this, since I do not have the service account information.

Also, I looked thru the log files on the SharePoint server and found the following by searching for the Correlation ID shown when the error comes up, I won't put in everything just the important messages.

  1. Schema file was already loaded: BuiltInActiveXControls.xsd
  2. FormServer Partial Trust - Proxy operation invoked in the SHIM process.
  3. FormServer Partial Trust - Invoking proxy operation for Web service adapter failed with exception Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object. for Url=https://<SP URL>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx
  4. Data adapter failed during OnLoad: The custom code in the form cannot be run. This functionality may be deactivated on the server. For more information, contact the server farm administrator.
  5. The following query failed: GetUserProfileByName (User: , Form Name: Expense Report, IP: , Connection Target: <SP URL>/Data Connections/GetUserProfileByName.udcx, Request: , Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:Expense-Report:-myXSD-2014-04-11T21-06-32 Type: DataAdapterException, Exception Message: The custom code in the form cannot be run. This functionality may be deactivated on the server.

Unable to open Sharepoint site with Designer "Folder name is not valid"

Hi all,

I'm using SharePoint 2013 with SharePoint Designer 2013, but currently I'm facing a weird behaviour.

I can open my preproduction SharePoint portal with SharePoint Designer 2013, but when I'm trying to open my production environment, I'm receiving the error "The folder name is not valid". Even it doesn't ask for credentials.

Anyone knows what is happening?

Workflow variable

$

0

I'm creating a list workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013 and I use a choice field with checkboxes in the SharePoint list.

There are approximately 80 checkboxes with values like '10 Test/test test', '20 test2-test2'.
These values are to be sent to a web service that makes some calculations. (the ws only needs the first digits)

To get the checked values I've used Current Item: Choices, Comma Delimited. Since the values contains 'one or more '/ in some cases, I had to change that character to something else and therefor used a workflow variable to store the new list in.
It works fine, but if the variable exceeds 255 characters the workflow stops and gets canceled.

Is there a work around to store more characters in the variable or is there a way to change the checkbox list to have a value of  '10' and a name "10 Test/test test"?
Or maybe use a loop to only get the digits in the beginning and then store them in a workflow variable?

SharePoint site.

Kindly provide me with the following information,
I need forms in my public facing web pages to be filled up by the visitors // general public on the SharePoint site.

  1. The form will consist of both DATA AND IMAGES.
  2. The DATA AND IMAGES so submitted / uploaded by general public should appear in lists or otherwise so that I could Re publish them on my public facing web pages. The said data along with the images should be available to the general public on a web page, as searchable data. The images should appear as thumbnails or otherwise.
  3. Preferably with an approval stage, before publishing such data?
  4. Kindly let me know how to achieve this function in share point either through an app or any other alternate Option.

WorkFlow Issues: Appending (not replace) Attendee Field in Calendar List and Email Variables (including .ICS file link)

$

Kind of new to attempting any custom development in SharePoint.  Working with 2013 and have the 2013 Workflow Farm setup/working.  I am trying to have a calendar that users can register to appointments via custom list.  I have the list that pulls the title into its  own "Event" field as a lookup.  Also have a workflow on the calendar that adds the current user as an attendee and made that field "not required".  I'm trying to accomplish this:
1) Have the Custom List update the Calendar list attendee field with the username. Currently it wipes out what is there and replaces with the "Created By" name. Tried to set a variable that would put the current attendees in a string and just add the current user, then use that variable to update the attendee field.  No luck.  Ultimately if I can understand this enough and get fancy enough, I'd setup a workflow  that can have someone delete their own registration item in the custom list and remove only their own name from Attendees...
2)  Have a workflow kick off an email that sends the registrant the calendar details. Have tried to pipe in variables to get the ICS file (some variation of this ) If I put the List ID in brackets I get an error about having that and variables in the same code for an email workflow.  In any event I can't really get the email workflow to give any kind of nice piped in values the best looked like this and had the wrong date: You registered for  {"results":[{"Id":22,"Value":"Test Event 8"}]} on 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM

SharePoint Task List using Workflow for approver chain, gathering information from another list.

$

What I have is a Custom List, that got the following fields for each item. 

ApplicationName(SingleText) OwnerApproval(Person) ManagerApproval(Person) InstallExeuction(Person)

Example data:

| ApplicationName: Photoshop

| OwnerApproval: Mister Blue

| ManagerApproval: Mister Red

| InstallExecution: IT Group

What I have now then, is a task list as well. Where the user can press new task, and type in their PC name (singletext) and a dropdown menu to choose what application they want, for instance Photoshop.

I'm not trying to make a workflow that starts when a new item is created to send an email to the OwnerApproval set for this specific application, Photoshop, if he approves it, a new email should be sent to ManagerApproval specific application, Photoshop.

And if the last person ManagerApproval accepts it, a last email should be sent to InstallExecution, which if this person approves the task is marked as completed.

I've been trying for mad now using SharePoint Designer and I almost got it to work. 

Can anyone help me? I'm going mad here, I have VERY LIMITED knowledge in sharepoint designer.

Survey Questions Column Width

We have developed a survey in SharePoint Online which is primarily a rating scale (1-5). We have found that the column containing the question for each line is entirely too small and looks poor when rendered. Is it possible to make this column larger?

I have searched through these forums and the only question similar to this was not answered, however that question was for a different version.

Thank you!

Hyperlink in Visio opens in new tab

I have created a Visio-document with some shapes. I have set hyperlinks to other .aspx-files in the SitePages-library on these shapes, and these hyperlink also contains FilterField and FilterValue to filter a document Library.

In example:
/SitePages/page1.aspx?FilterField1=Process&FilterValue1=Processname

Every time I click on a shape the page opens in a new tab.
I can't figure out why?

Hi,

I made a pivot diagram in visio 2013 and linked it with SharePoint 2013 list. I configured the Visio services, uploaded it document library. I can view the diagram in browser but it is not automatically refreshing not even by pressing the "Refresh" button.

Instead i have to open it in visio, refresh the diagram manually and the save it in SP document library to refresh the diagram.

I am using visio web access to view the diagram and also the auto-refresh is enable. 

Question about process for migrating InfoPath 2010 forms to SharePoint 2013

$

Can someone provide an overview about the steps involved for migrating forms that were designed with InfoPath 2010 and do not contain any code behind them, except for custom rules that serve to do data validation, in order for them to work properly within SharePoint 2013? I just read the following technical article that seems to partially apply to this:

http://blogs.perficient.com/microsoft/2013/03/infopath-and-sharepoint-2013-upgrading-your-forms/

If this is as straightforward as exporting the source files within InfoPath 2010 and then perhaps importing those within InfoPath 2013, I would appreciate getting confirmation about this.


CAML Filtering

$
0
0

Hi,

I have a filter coming from some location (let's say, query string):

<ParameterBinding Name="param" Location="QueryString(param)"/>

I know how to pass that parameter to a CAML query, which would be something like:

<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='SomeField'/><Value Type='Text'>{param}</Value></Eq></Where>

However, if the parameter is not supplied, I will get nothing (SomeField = '').

I was wondering: is it possible to have parameters as field values in CAML? For example, I know this doesn't work, but you get the idea:

<Where><Or><Eq><FieldRef Name='SomeField'/><Value Type='Text'>{param}</Value></Eq><Eq><FieldRef Formula='{param}'/><Value Type='Text'></Value></Eq></Or></Where>

This way, I could have truly server-side filtering. The alternative with XSL is client-side, which means, more records will be retrieved that are necessary.

Yes, I know I could do this programmatically, but that is not my intent! I wish to use the XsltListViewWebPart.

Any thoughts? Any alternatives?

Thanks!

SharePoint 2013 Workflow - Task Url in Assign a task acction

Hi All,

       I have used "Assign a task" action in our list workflow which is created using SharePoint Designer 2013. Approver is getting an email which has task url. But when approver clicks on the link, it is opening the task disp form rather than opening an edit form(Which has approved,rejected buttons). I would like to know whether this is the default behaviour. If so, what should I do for opening the edit form(Approval form) directly from the mail.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Write SharePoint Online event handler and deploy to new sub site library dynamically

$
0

Hi All,

I’m in facing a critical problem with SharePoint Online (aka SharePoint Office 365). Our requirement is to have an event handler for ItemAdding and another for ItemDeleting.

Now- we think that we need to develop a Remote Event Handler for our purpose. Problem seems to be for an event handler, we need to specify the URL of the Site and list. In our case, the new site will be created dynamically (through program) and the library too. So, we need to associate two event handler using code (to the new site url and library). There can be 1000 sub site per site collection in our tenant.

Can any one please suggest how to write such event handler for SharePoint Online and how to deploy that event hander to 1000 of sub site libraries dynamically? The functionality of each eventhandler will remain the same (that is – event method code will remain the same for any document library).

Thanks a lot to all of you whoever tries to help me.

Have a great day and looking forward for your early response.

Warm Regards,
