    - Issues With Delay Activity I am having the same issue with this ... does anyone have any idea how to go around this issue or is it just me not using it proper. I have a delay activity with a code activity before and after. I am using ASP.net and ManualWorkflowScheduler. The code reaches the delay activity , fires off the initialize timeowtduration and then goes to sleep. The rest of the code never gets executed. Tag: document conversion

    - Suddenly unable to create a new Top Level Site You might have to do a little research on this to verify this is the problem, but here is an idea. Maybe you have reached your threshold of total # of sites. You can increase that number, and be back in business. Somewhere within SharePoint Central Administration, you can set that limit for the content database, but I don't remember exactly where. I hope this at least gets you started in the right direction.

    - Trying to bind dropdownlist selection to Sharepoint list column on custom insert form It turns out that I was very close to getting this to work. I had to add the items in red. <SharePoint VDropDownList FieldName="Categories" runat="server" id="ff4{$Pos}" DataSourceID="spDataSource2" DataTextField="Title" DataValueField="ID" __designer:bind="{ddwrt ataBind('i',concat('ff4',$Pos),'SelectedValue','SelectedIndexChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),' @Categories' )}"/> What I fixed: 1) The property FieldName was missing. 2) The second parameter was @ID and I thought that referred to the DataValueField="ID", but no, it needs to bind to the FieldName.

    - SQL 2005 Database Mirroring in MOSS and WSS I've been trying to follow the whitepaper released by Microsoft about SQL Server 2005 Mirroring and MOSS ( http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/ LinkId=83725&clcid=0x409 ), but I've found that the document has a drastical error --it indicates that database mirroring session must be started from the principal server, and it must really be done from the mirror one. Ok let's pass it and move ahead (I could configure high availability mirroring with a witness server, finally) and when the backend fails over and I have to reconfigure MOSS, I follow the steps provided in the whitepaper but I can't reconnect to the Configuration Database, even though I have done stsadm.exe -o renameserver -oldservername <SQLPRINCIPAL> -newservername <SQLMIRROR> So I'm stuck here! I've tried to restart each and every service, restarted IIS, checked SQL Server services (mirror server active holding the active copies of the databases), I've run the MOSS configuration wizard first doing nothing but "Next .... next ..... next", then deattaching from the farm and reattaching again. Nothing. I've also tried with stsadm.exe –o setconfigdb –databaseserver <SQLMIRROR> –farmuser <MYDOMAIN\MOSS_Service_Account> –farmpassword <myFarmPassw0rd> and get nothing. If I swith SQL roles back and use the stsadm.exe -o renameserver to reverse to the initial situation, then it works!! (MOSS back online). So what's wrong! I'm really stuck here. Two days by far.

    - protecting sensitive data Even if you hide the text box, people will be able to download the form, inspect the XML, and view what was entered into the text box. To implement privacy, you would have to encrypt the data. But you will also need to know how data will be accessed before you can choose an encryption mechanism. Tag: document conversion

    - sharepoint 2007 daylight saving problem I have an even worse problem. Every configuration change in central administration that is replicated to the frontend servers in our farm using the OWSTimer lasts one hour. We have the problem in our test system with Windows 2003 SP1 without daylight savings patch as well as on the production system with Windows 2003 SP2 and latest patches. The servers are in German time zone (GMT+1) with daylight savings on. I have also followed the instructions given at http://www.sharepointbuzz.com/index.php/2007/01/12/sharepoint-2007-timer-service-and-timer-jobs-owstimerexe/ but the problem still persists If anyone has a suggestion I would be very thankful.

    - Error in communicating with Excel Calculation Services From your description of the topology, I assume you're trying to use kerberos delegation for communicating in the farm. To set Excel Services to delegation please run: stsadm -o set-ecssecurity -accessmodel delegation -ssp sharedservices1 If the timer service isn't running on the Shared Services machine please, run the following on that machine: stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs Last, do iisreset for both the web front end and shared services machines. Then check See if that solves the issue. Tag: document conversion

    - Accounts From everything I've seen and read, and what I do when I install MOSS is create 4 accounts. 1. SharePoint Administrator - the SharePoint admin, log in as this user when installing SharePoint as well as the Administrator user you need to enter when running the configuration wizard. This user needs local admin rights to install SharePoint as well as rights on the DB server to created DB's and assign permissions to those DBs 2. SharePoint Web Application - This user is used for the app pool identity on all the web applications as well as the Shared Services credentials. This user only needs domain user rights 3. SharePoint Search - This user is used when starting the search service. They need local admin access on the search server 4. SharePoint Crawl - This is the content crawler for SharePoint, use this user when setting up indexing and crawling inside of Shared Services. This user only needs domain user rights. That is how I set up my SharePoint installations based on various documents I've read about SharePoint and creating different accounts and how to set them all up. I hope that helps, Ben Tag: document conversion

    - Creating an event handler for a custom content type Rob, good catch. Searching the web, I saw the following example: http://www.sharepointblogs.com/tonstegeman/archive/2007/02/15/19518.aspx I think this may have to be done by code and not by features. I hope this is wrong. This gave me an idea to add to my utility pack, to register an event handler to a content type and not just to a library. But until I do that, you are on your own.

    - Reporting Services Configuration problem Hi, The Reporting Services Feature needs to be activated in Central Admin for the Application Management section to show up with the 3 options. Please follow the instructions in this blog article to enable this feature - http://blogs.msdn.com/rosettaue/archive/2007/04/06/how-to-activate-the-report-server-feature-in-sharepoint-central-administration.aspx .

Re: document conversion

Becky Isserman

I found this article on the document converter included in MOSS 2007: http://blogs.msdn.com/ecm/archive/2006/06/13/629525.aspx. It looks like you need to go into Central Administration and turn it on then you can play around with it.

Re: document conversion

TheKid

I don't think there is one out of the box. You can write your own though...a document converter is basically just an executable which takes the source document, converts it and spits out the new document.

Unfortunately I can't point you to anywhere that covers this, but I know there is documentation around!

Re: document conversion

Mike Johnson

I can't get this to work.

After converting the document I get a page which is just the template I specified in the settings but it doesn't contain any content, just blank.

Any ideas
