Problems while uploading files to SharePoint


Hi guys,

            It’s been a while blogging about SharePoint. Have anyone experienced the difficulties in uploading files apart from the characters mentioned in SharePoint. I have experienced the unique thing that when I tried to migrate the documents from Humming Bird to MOSS 2007. SharePoint does not allow consecutive dots in the filename. “..” is not allowed in MOSS 2007, but “. .” is allowed and that’s something weird.
One more thing I would like to share is if anyone trying to upload the documents via object model, it’s better to remove the space at the end of the file name. SharePoint allows us to upload the file with the spaces at the end. But after uploading the files, if any user has changed the metadata or something related to that file SharePoint automatically removes the trailing spaces at the end.
If there are any custom properties defined in the file then SharePoint will not allow us to upload the file. It will throw the exception “Unable to update the metadata information” both via object model and also via UI.
So guys there are many things to keep in mind and to analyze the files before uploading the files using the object model. I hope you got some relevant points from this post. Keep watching and I will be posting some interesting and unique about both MOSS 2007 and SharePoint 2010.
Cheers…

PowerShell to update SharePoint Online User Profile property from Azure AD

Image
Hi Friends, in this post, I am gonna walk you through the steps to update the SharePoint Online User Profile property from Azure AD. You may think, why this is necessary since SharePoint online will sync automatically with Azure AD. The tricky part is the auto-sync may take up to 24 hrs to sync Azure AD to SharePoint UPS. The next tricky part is not all the AAD profile properties are synced to SharePoint UPS. Only a few of the properties are synced and below are the list of properties relevant to the profile that is synced to SharePoint UPS User Name First name Last name Name Office phone Department Job title Manager Office Office phone What about the other properties like 'Mobile Phone' that are relevant to the user???

To resolve all these obstacles and issues, we need to use PowerShell Now you understand why there i...

Using React Context API in SPFx

Image
Introduction   Hi friends, this blog post will guide you through the usage of  Context API  which is one of the new features introduced in the latest version of React   in SPFx projects .  What is React Context and When to use it In a normal React application, the properties are passed top-down from parent to child and then to the grandchild via props. It works great in simple react applications, but this will be very tedious for complex applications.  Context  provides us an easy way to share the props without having them pass through all the intermediate components.  Context  should be primarily used when the properties must be accessible by many components at different nesting levels. We must apply it with cautious because sometimes it makes the reuse of the components more difficult. How can we use it in SPFx?   I hope many of you are aware of the SPFx development model, where we might need to pass the properties that are captured ...
