RE: [OzMOSS] Workflow issues on MOSS Development Server
After you rebuilt your workflow, did you update the Workflow settings on the Document Library? I think by default if you deploy a newer version of a workflow, the Workflow settings are changed to No New Instances. To check, and rectify if this is the case: navigate to the Settings page for your Document Library, then select Workflow settings. Next choose Remove a workflow. Make sure the Allow radio button is selected and click OK. You may have already done this, but it can sometimes catch people out. David. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Trevor Andrew Sent: Monday, 31 March 2008 1:26 PM To: listserver@ozmoss.com Subject: [OzMOSS] Workflow issues on MOSS Development Server Hi All, I'm having a few problems getting some SharePoint workflows going. I am using VS 2008, and started out trying to build a simple sequential workflow so I can get more familiar with coding under the WF / SharePoint model, but have run into what I think are a couple of problems, one of which I think I'm on top of, another which I'm not. The workflow is on an e-mail enabled document library, and the e-mails that come into the library have a unique subject line, but a subject line that contains colon characters. For example the original e-mail that generated the following entries had a subject line of InboundRequest/IDX:13455242 - ID:1A10E6014CE4FF23CA257412000504B9. Interestingly the first colon seems to have been replaced with a space, but the second colon in the subject line appears to have been simply dropped. 03/27/2008 12:19:44.71 OWSTIMER.EXE (0x07AC) 0x0C80 Windows SharePoint Services General 8kh7 High There is no file with URL 'InboundRequest/IDX 13455242 - ID1A10E6014CE4FF23CA257412000504B9' in this Web. 03/27/2008 12:19:44.87 OWSTIMER.EXE (0x07AC) 0x0C80 Windows SharePoint Services Workflow Infrastructure 72fv Unexpected AutoStart Workflow: System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range. at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb.GetFile(String strUrl) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowAutostartEventReceiver.AutoStart Workflow(SPItemEventProperties properties, Boolean bCreate, Boolean bChange, AssocType atyp) Can someone confirm that my supposition that the colons are the problem here is correct? I am now pre-processing the e-mails to ensure the colons are no longer present in the subject line, but now I'm getting entries in the log like the following: 03/31/2008 15:43:10.70 OWSTIMER.EXE (0x08EC) 0x0F68 Windows SharePoint Services Workflow Infrastructure 72fv Unexpected AutoStart Workflow: System.ArgumentException: New instances of this workflow template are currently disallowed. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowManager.StartWorkflowElev(SPList Item item, SPFile file, SPWorkflowAssociation association, SPWorkflowEvent startEvent, Boolean bAutoStart, Boolean bCreateOnly) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowAutostartEventReceiver.AutoStart Workflow(SPItemEventProperties properties, Boolean bCreate, Boolean bChange, AssocType atyp) Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Have I mis-configured the workflow in some way? Kind Regards, Trevor --- OzMOSS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.

RE: [OzMOSS] Migration Issue Sharepoint 2003 to MOSS 2007
We had troubles with the DB Migration method and decided to use the Gradual Upgrade method, after some research found that this was better for our set up. Personally, if I was to do it again, I think I would take the opportunity to start from scratch. We have 1 site collection, nearly 200 subsites but have been using sharepoint since 2001 so you can imagine the amount of redundant information and inherited errors etc on our portal. The gradual upgrade took nearly 3 weeks and many phone calls with Microsoft to resolve the issues.

In our Sharepoint 2003 environment, content for multiple sites exists in a single database. I have successfully prescanned all sites and restored the database into the new MOSS 2007 environment. I then successfully ran the stsadm command to add the content database to a new website and did an IISReset. The problem is that once I browse to the new website, I cannot see any of the sites/details etc in the old content database in the new website. It's like necessary links to it have not been established. Has anyone else experienced this before?

RE: [OzMOSS] Importing 2003 discussion boards to moss
We had a similar(ish) task in importing discussion boards from WebSphere to MOSS 2007. In the end I wrote simple app that read the discussion board data from an XML file and then used the SharePoint Object Model to write it to a discussion board within MOSS. There were some issues with maintaining threading but for the most part it worked fine. If you choose to go down this route, I can review the code and see if any of it will help you (at least structure the creation of the messages within the board).

RE: [OzMOSS] Importing 2003 discussion boards to moss
We had the same issue, however, by saving a discussion board as a template the content of the board is formatted as XML and can be semi-automatically imported. To get the XML data: 1. Save the board as a template: a. Modify settings and columns. b. Save discussion board as template 2. Click through to the templates list and download the resulting STP file. 3. Change the STP extension to CAB (a cab file is like a ZIP file). 4. Open the CAB file and extract the manifest.xml file it contains. This has the posts in XML format. This approach will work not only for discussion boards (although it is particularly useful for them) but for other lists, too. We have created a custom application that will import data contained in a manifest file. The application must run on the MOSS server, this allowed us to maintain all the data and metadata (created by, date, modified etc) into the new MOSS environment.
