how to upload heavy files in sharepoint library? - sharepoint

I have created a library in which videos are going to store. but when i am going to upload media file greater than 50 mb, it gives me an error like 'An unexpected error has occured'.
so my question is how can i upload heavy media files as document in sharepoint 2010 library.

There are several places where such a limit might be configured:
For WebDAV it is in the registry (Key FileSizeLimitInBytes) at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters which is a client-side limit (default 50 MB)!
For IIS it is in the web.config of the site (<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="XX" />)
For Sharepoint itself:
Configure maximum file size for a SharePoint web application
In Central Administration, in Application Management, click Manage web applications.
NoteNote
Select the application (for example, SharePoint - 80).
On the Web Applications ribbon, click the down arrow on the General Settings button.
Click General Settings.
Scroll to Maximum Upload Size.
Click OK.

umbraco deployed as azure web app - content not showing on site

I've got an umbraco site which I deploy to an azure web app service. The data is on an azure sql database. I have been able to deploy this successfully, and can verify that all the data I expect to be there is present in the content view.
However I have added content on various pages, in rich text editors, and on my local site I can see this content on the site. But on my deployed site the content in rich text editors is only visible on the content view, not on the site. I've tried publishing each item but nothing will appear.
What else can I try?
Umbraco needs some additional configuration to be treated properly on Azure. It especially affects indexes and XML caching file.
Please check the following blog post made by one of the Umbraco HQ Core developers - Sebastiaan Janssen: https://cultiv.nl/blog/making-sure-your-umbraco-site-performs-on-azure/. Go step by step to ensure if your app is properly configured.
Going further you may be in need to also ensure proper configuration for load balancing, which you can find here: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/setup/server-setup/load-balancing/flexible
I found the answer after a much experimenting.
I had not manually included in my project (and thus not deploying) Views/Partials/Grid/fanoe.cshtml. This file includes the and I guess I was using some default template which is using this file, rather than the other grid templates in the same folder.

SSRS Native Mode - View RDLs in Explorer View

In SSRS SharePoint Integrated Mode you have the ability to view all your reports in a document library by opening the document library in "Explorer View."
Wondering if there is a tool available which allows this same functionality in SSRS Native Mode.
I know that really SSRS has nothing to do with the Explorer View (that is pure SharePoint functionality) but from and end user/developer perspective it is much easier to navigate folders/reports in Explorer View, add files, rename, etc.
A quick Google search did not find anything...
I am not sure about the functionality you are looking for. In native mode you can view all deployed RDLs in the virtual directory of reporting server application. Go to reporting services configuration manager on your server then go to report manager url tab to find the url of the SSRS site.
Once you enter to the site you can browse through folders containing deployed RDLs and apply limited actions to manage it.

What's the best way to update SharePoint document content via .NET?

I have the URL of a SharePoint (2013) document and also the path to a network document.
(Both the SharePoint document and the network document can be very large. In this specific case, the SharePoint document is an image-only PDF and the network document is a text-searchable version of the same document.)
I want to update the content of the SharePoint document with the content of the network document.
What is the best way to do this in .NET?
(I'm trying to avoid adding a new document to SharePoint, because of document ID considerations.)
Thanks!
There are several issues you have to tackle. 1) SharePoint must be configured to accept large files, 2) IIS must be configured to handle large requests, and 3) IIS must be configured to wait long enough for the upload to complete.
To configure SharePoint to accept large files, change the Maximum Upload Size for the web application in Central Admin.
To configure web limits in IIS, check out the Microsoft documentation at iis.net. (www.iis.net/configreference/system.applicationhost/weblimits).

Sharepoint: The view cannot be displayed because the number of lookup and workflow columns it contains exceeds the threshold (8)

I have following problem with my Sharepoint website. (The view cannot be displayed because the number of lookup and workflow columns it contains exceeds the threshold (8) enforced by the administrator) but any solution I have found online points me to change the throttle settings in web applications settings under central administration. My problem is I simply do not have Central Administration > Web Applications etc... The problem is appearing on a document library for me and I have explored very settings options on the site but cannot find anything about trottleing or column threshold. I just have Site Settings > Library settings etc...
How can I increase the column threshold in this case?
I am working on a Sharepoint website and have Workspace and Designer 2010.
The information you found is correct. You must access the Central Administration site from the server itself. It sounds like you are not logging into the server, but using SPD and the Sharepoint site from your workstation. If you don't have access to RDP to the server, you must contact someone who has access.
On another note, it's not recommended to increase that threshold.
Application Management > Manage Web Application.
In the Web Application list, select the web application you need.
Then go to General Settings > Resource Throttling.
In the Resource Throttling window, scroll down to List View Lookup Threshold and change the value to the number that suits your needs.
Use caution when changing this setting:
This does have a very significant impact on SQL performance. In the article below you can see that in this persons tests, using 8 and executing the query there was about 7% CPU utilization on SQL. Moving that to 10 and executing a query that pulls back 10 columns increases the CPU utilization to almost 40%.

Reduced functionality using forms authentication (FBA) in SharePoint

I’ve got a moss document centre website with FBA and AD authentication enabled. After creating a picture library I seem to have reduced functionality when accessing the site through the FBA URL.
I’ve compared the web.config files from each IIS website and they are the same (apart from added FBA information that's required).
Here's two pictures to illustrate what I mean.
This picture shows the options available in the picture library when accessing the website through AD authentication:

This picture shows the reduced options available in the picture library when accessing the website through FBA authentication:
alt text http://www.abbeylegal.com/Downloads/2006-07-26/FBA%20Authentication.jpg
Anyone else seen this behaviour? I find it really strange.
This functionality is by design. As per Microsoft:
When you configure a zone to use forms authentication, the Enable Client Integration box is cleared by default. If a zone is configured in this way, the following changes occur in functionality:
Support for remote interfaces is turned off. That includes WebDAV, SOAP, and Microsoft Office FrontPage remote procedure calls (RPC). Some functionality is not available, such as Web folders or the Web services for accessing content in that site.
Some toolbar items no longer appear:
New Document
Open in Outlook
Open In Windows Explorer
Export to Spreadsheet
Open with Database Program
Explorer View option is hidden.
Create an Access View option is hidden.
In picture libraries, the following functionality is removed:
Upload Multiple
Edit Picture
Download
Send To
On the Edit Control Block (ECB) menu, the drop-down menu that appears when you click - items in document libraries, the following items are removed:
Edit in Word
Edit in Excel
Edit in PowerPoint
Discuss
Connect To Outlook
In slide libraries the following functionality is removed:
Publish Slide
Send to PowerPoint
Also, syncing SharePoint data with Microsoft Office Outlook no longer works.
Form Authentication will reduce some functionality such as in document library. We won't see the new document, be able to edit it in the spreadsheet, be able to open it with Windows Explorer etc.
For that, we need to enable the feature called Client Integration in Authentication
Provider. After enabling that, we'll get all menu items.
