I am struggling with passing file data from a Parent Flow to a Child Flow.
In the parent flow, I use SharePoint Get Items to pull a list containing the individual SharePoint sites within our domain. At the moment, this is running about 230 individual sites. Using Apply to Each, I peruse through the sites using Get Files (properties only) to locate any files created in the last 20 minutes. If there are files created, I again use the Apply to Each, and pass the information to my Child Flow.
The child flow is pretty simple. It responds to the parent; SharePoint Copy File to a new location in SharePoint; Logs the entry into an excel table; then sends an email.
Copies of the flow are below. HOWEVER, here is the challenge. I can not figure out how to identify the file that needs to be passed into the Child. I have played with this for hours.
I beleive the challenge is, I am unable to select the File Identifier from the Get Files Properties Only step in my Dynamic Content Menu...only from the orginal Get Items step. But I might be wrong. Not finding much in my research.
Here is the Detailed View of the Parent Flow
Here is the Detailed view of my Child Flow
In my opinion, the File Identifier is just used to identify the specific file, which is always a necessary parameter in the flow with "*". In the child flow, there are "SharePoint Site", "Hotel" and "Acctfile" to specific which file to use. So there is no need to fill File Identifier in "File Content Name".
What's more, the type of File Identifier data may not match what it should be in "File Content Name".
You could also check what is wrong with this flow from the flow error details.

I have created a new ContentPart with a ContentPartRecord in a custom module and attached it to an existing content type on my website that already has hundreds of content items.
Now when I perform queries of the format contentManager.Query<MyPart, MyPartRecord>().List() I don't get any results since no MyPartRecords actually exist in the database yet.
Is there a way to make sure this happens for all content as soon as my part gets attached to a content type, or will I have to manually interact with all of the items before they become queryable?
This query is asking for all content items that have that part, which is not the case of items created before you added the part to the type definition. See the type definition as a blueprint more than a schema. Depending on what exactly you're trying to do, you may want to try to query by content type instead.
The part will get attached next time the item gets updated, pretty much. You could build something that scripts the operation on existing items, but nothing out of the box will do that.
Not able to sync content page when i changed the approval status to unapproved.
I reverted back it to "Approved" still page not getting synced.
I compared the dumps in sync job , it's exactly same.
What could be causing the issue?
Troubleshooting the synchronization is very complicated...
A synchronization is executed using a synchronization cronjob. To find the respective cronjob:
go to hmc/backoffice
navigate to System/Cronjobs in hmc or System/Background Processes/Cronjobs in backoffice
use the types dropdown to restrict the search to "Multithreaded Synchronization"
pick the most recent one OR look in log file for this output and search for the code.
INFO [Thread-107] (000000RS) [CatalogVersionSyncJob] Sync 'sync powertoolsContentCatalog:Staged->Online' (pk:8796094464500) configured 0 entries for job '000000RS' (pk:8796125823477) schedule medias: 1
This is the cronjob that executed your synchronization. Now it is getting even more tricky:
go to the administration tab
look for an attribute called "Dump medias"
download the media file where attribute Realfilename starts with "sync_dump_"
The downloaded file should contain comma seperated values.
Example:
8796256994364;8796256961596;;actions,allDocuments,...,uid,urlLink,visible;;false
The entries represent the following data:
the PK of the source item
the PK of the target item
(timestamp)
a list of attributes, that could not be synchronized
?
item has been victim to a deadlock
Now you can troubleshoot your synchronization by evaluating source and target items and pending attributes.
Sometimes there is a problem when referencing an item, that does not exist in the target catalog, sometimes a uid is already existing in the target catalog. Sometimes an initial attribute needs change. There are a lot of pitfalls. In this case you can try to use this property to get more details about the exception that is thrown during sync:
synchronization.itemcopycreator.stacktraces=true

I need to implement a solution for a client SharePoint Office 365 site. I know you can do things with 3 parts solutions or Jquery but I'm trying to keep it OOTB as possible. Here is a simplistic view of the scenario.
There is a list called Parent. It has one field Title.
There is a second list called Child. It has one field Title and another Parent
Parent is the type Lookup and points to the Title field of the Parent list.
The SharePoint form is for the Parent List so the main connection points there.
I simply want to create a data connection to the child list and have the Edit / View pages populate that a listbox with the ID(Value) and Title(Display) from the corresponding match in the Parent list.
I've tried several ways but I lack the experience to probably describe what I've tried (Using Rules and the lists.asmx as well as a retrieve data connection to child and filtering it upon load).
Thank you in advance, I really need to get this implemented.
As per your query, I understand you want to open the form on the click of the list item with the view & edit.
for that you have to create the rules with the proper actions like if I click on the parent A then form open but after the form open we have to fetch the ID & title again by the create the connection who dynamically operate as per the call of action.if you need more details please mention comment on this / If I understand wrong the please brief your problem with the example.
Thanks
Although I cannot find a specific reference I assume that you cannot give the same id to resources in two different activities. eg. myTextView in Activity 1 and myTextView (with nothing to link them) in Activity 2. If this is so, how is a ListView in a ListActivity, which has to be called "list", handled when you have two or more ListActivities?
The first thing I would like to tell you is, you can give id's in the XML files not in Activities. However we access those elements in activities via their ids.
You can have same id for two or more elements in different XML files
But you cannot give same id to two or more elements in same XML file
In your activity find out a line in the onCreate method,
setContentView(R.layout.YOUR_XML_FILE);
So whenever you will access any element with an id, it will search only in the above mentioned XML file, not in any other.
So as you will be having different XML files in different activities, so each activity will look for resource in its own XML file. It will have no effect on any other resource in any other XML file.
I am using the test plugin for VS 2012 (although have just installed 2013), and need to know:
Is it possible to have a parameter pass a different value from a selected list while load testing?
I have used the sample load test located here: http://www.visualstudio.com/get-started/load-test-your-app-vs and created a new web test that meets my needs as below.
I have a simple journey recorded that is an email registration web page. The journey is essentially completing name & address, email, conf email, password, conf password. On submission of the form, a verification email is sent.
I need to check that this process can handle around 3000 users. The email to actually send the verification has been hardcoded for test purposes, but I need a unique email to submit the form. I would essentially like to run 3000 test cases through, and just change the email address each time.
What is the best way to do this?
The simple answer is do a web search for data driving (or data driven) Visual Studio web performance tests. You should find many articles and tutorials.
In more detail:
Outline of how to data drive a test
Firstly, Visual Studio distinguishes different types of test. A Load Test is a way of running individual test cases many times, as if by many simultaneous users, gathering data about the test executions and producing a report. The test cases that a load test can execute include Web Performance Tests and Coded UI Tests; both of these can be data driven.
Data driving a Web Performance Test requires a data source. The data can be CSV, XML, Spreadsheet, database and in TFS. I will describe using CSV.
Create a CSV file, containing something similar to the following. Note that the top line of field names is required and those names are used within the test.
Name,Email,Telephone
Fred,fred#example.com,0123 456789
George,george#example.com,0123 456790
Harry,harry#example.com,0123 456791
See also CodedUI test does not read data from CSV input file for some notes CSV file creation.
Open the test project in Visual Studio and open the .webtest file for the test. Use the context (right-click) menu of the top node of the test, ie the test's name (or use the corresponding icon) and select "Add data source ...". Follow the prompts to add the CSV file into the project.
Within the Web Performance Test expand the request to show the form parameters or query string or whatever that is to use the data. View the properties panel of the relevant field and select the appropriate property, in many cases it is the Value property. Click the little triangle for choosing a value for the property. The popup should show the data source, expand the items shown and select the required field. After selecting the field the property will show a value such as {{DataSource1.FileName#csv.Email}}. The doubled curly braces ({{ and }}) indicate the use of a context parameter. All the used data source fields are available as context parameters. All of the data source fields can be made available by altering the Select Columns property of the data source file. Data source field can be used as part of a property value by using values such as
SomeText{{DataSource1.FileName#csv.Email}}AndMoreText
Data source access methods
The data from the datasource can be read and used in four ways. The default is Sequential. Other orders are selected using Solution Explorer to access the properties of the file (eg FileName#csv). The Access Method property can be set to one of:
Sequential data is read sequentially through the file. After the last line of the file is read, the first line of the file will be next line to be read. Thus each line may be read more than once.
Random data is read randomly.
Unique data is read sequentially through the file. After the end of the file is read the test will not be executed again. Thus each line in can only be read once.
Do not move cursor automatically intended for more complex tests where the cursor is moved via calls from plugins.
A web test may use more than one data source file. These files may have different access methods. For example one file containing login names and passwords could be accessed Sequentially and another file with other data could be accessed Randomly. This would allow each login to try many different sets of the other data.
Data sources and loops
Web performance tests may contain loops. The properties of a loop include Advance data cursors. This allows, for example, a data source file to contain items to be found and added to a shopping basket such that each loop iteration adds a new item.
