Is it possible to programmatically start crawling a given content source (say a file share) through Sharepoint API or any other means?
Based on Rob's comment above I found this to be helpful. Following is the C# code I did.
The code in the link throws an error on SPServiceContext.Current if you're building a console app. So the first step and the GetContext() method are specific to that situation.
SPSite mySite = new SPSite("http://localhost");
SearchServiceApplicationProxy proxy = (SearchServiceApplicationProxy)SearchServiceApplicationProxy.GetProxy(SPServiceContext.GetContext(mySite)); Guid appId = proxy.GetSearchServiceApplicationInfo().SearchServiceApplicationId;
//Console.WriteLine("AppID : " + appId.ToString());
SearchServiceApplication app = SearchService.Service.SearchApplications.GetValue<SearchServiceApplication>(appId);
Content content = new Content(app);
ContentSourceCollection cs = content.ContentSources;
Console.WriteLine("Name\tId\tCrawlCompleted");
foreach (ContentSource csi in cs)
{
Console.WriteLine(csi.Name + "\t" + csi.Id + "\t" + csi.CrawlCompleted);
}
Console.WriteLine("Starting full crawl....");
ContentSource css = content.ContentSources["source name"]; //csi.Name within square brackets
css.StartFullCrawl();
Console.WriteLine("Full crawl on source name started...");
Be sure to adjust the build target platform in the Project Properties with the Sharepoint installation. Otherwise SpSite will not be created.

In my cn1 application, I want to make it possible for the user to back up their own cloud storage. For example, your own Dropbox account.
I was looking for a solution on the WEB. I think what I found (dropbox-codenameone-sdk) I can only manage a known account because I need to know consumerSecret and consumerKey. When I write the code, I don't know the actual user account information.
Based on the operation of other applications, I assume I have to log in to the actual user his account (eg Dropbox).
Please help what API calls can I do this.
Use the Share API in Display. You can zip the data using the zip cn1lib and save it in a file within the file system then use the share API to let the user pick a native app to share it with. On the simulator it will have options such as email/facebook but on the device you should have more options.
I think I'm using the API properly. Although I did not set correctly the file access on my phone.
However, the error occured in the simulator.
The mail and DropBox sharing on my android phone is successful.
I don't like the file getting a prefix (IMG_20200112_204126_). Can I change this?
I include screenshots and a code snippet.
Best regards, Péter

I am currently developing a utility to help automate our report deployment process. Multiple files, in multiple folders, to multiple servers.
I am using the reportservice2010.asmx web service, and I am deploying my files to the server - so most of the way there.
My issue is that I have shared data sets and shared data sources, which are deployed to individual folders, separate to the report folders. When the deployment occurs the web service looks locally for the data source rather than in the data source folder, giving an error like:
The dataset ‘CostReduction’ refers to the shared data source ‘CostReduction’, which is not
published on the report server. The shared data source ‘CostReduction’ must be published
before this report can run.
The data source/set has been deployed and the report functions correctly but I need to suppress these error messages as they may be hiding other actual errors.
I can hard code a lookup that checks if the data source/set exists and manually filter them via that, but it seems very in-efficient. Is there any way I can tell the web service where to look for these files or another approach that other people have used?
I'm not looking at changing the reports so the data source is read from
/DataSources/DataSourceName
as there are lots of reports and that's not how our existing projects are configured.
Many thanks in advance.
I realize you are using VB, but perhaps this will give you a clue if you convert it from C# to VB, using one of the translators on the web.
Hopefully this will give you a lead in the right direction.
When All the reports in a particular folder, referred to here as the 'parent folder', all use the same Shared Data source, I use this to set all the reports to the same shared Data Source (in this case "/DataSources/Shared_New")
using GetPropertiesSample.ReportService2010;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Collections.Generic; //<== required for LISTS
using System.Reflection;
namespace GetPropertiesSample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
GetListOfObjectsInGivenFolder_and_ResetTheReportDataSource("0_Contacts"); //<=== This is the parent folder
}
private static void GetListOfObjectsInGivenFolder_and_ResetTheReportDataSource(string sParentFolder)
{
// Create a Web service proxy object and set credentials
ReportingService2010 rs = new ReportingService2010();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
CatalogItem[] reportList = rs.ListChildren(#"/" + sParentFolder, true);
int iCounter = 0;
foreach (CatalogItem item in reportList)
{
iCounter += 1;
Debug.Print(iCounter.ToString() + "]#########################################");
if (item.TypeName == "Report")
{
Debug.Print("Report: " + item.Name);
ResetTheDataSource_for_a_Report(item.Path, "/DataSources/Shared_New"); //<=== This is the DataSource that I want them to use
}
}
}
private static void ResetTheDataSource_for_a_Report(string sPathAndFileNameOfTheReport, string sPathAndFileNameForDataSource)
{
//from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13144604/ssrs-reportingservice2010-change-embedded-datasource-to-shared-datasource
ReportingService2010 rs = new ReportingService2010();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
string reportPathAndName = sPathAndFileNameOfTheReport;
//example of sPathAndFileNameOfTheReport "/0_Contacts/207_Practices_County_CareManager_Role_ContactInfo";
List<ReportService2010.ItemReference> itemRefs = new List<ReportService2010.ItemReference>();
ReportService2010.DataSource[] itemDataSources = rs.GetItemDataSources(reportPathAndName);
foreach (ReportService2010.DataSource itemDataSource in itemDataSources)
{
ReportService2010.ItemReference itemRef = new ReportService2010.ItemReference();
itemRef.Name = itemDataSource.Name;
//example of DataSource i.e. 'itemRef.Reference': "/DataSources/SharedDataSource_DB2_CRM";
itemRef.Reference = sPathAndFileNameForDataSource;
itemRefs.Add(itemRef);
}
rs.SetItemReferences(reportPathAndName, itemRefs.ToArray());
}
}
To Call it I use this in the 'Main' Method:
GetListOfObjectsInGivenFolder_and_ResetTheReportDataSource("0_Contacts");
In this case "0_Contacts" is the parent folder, itself located in the root directory, that contains all the reports for which I want to reset their DataSources to the new Shared DataSource. Then that Method calls the other method "ResetTheDataSource_for_a_Report" which actually sets the DataSource for the report.
I've been searching for it and I've not been able to find it. I wanted to know if it is possible to Zip a folder without any external dll nor any external references - just with native features.
I've been able to Zip files with System.IO.Packaging, but it does not include folders and I cannot tell it to Zip the parent folder.
I know there are external dll and so, but I'd like to know if it's possible to make it from a native way.
Thank you.
Your best bet is to use a 3rd party library. But if you can't I found this blog post that describes how to do it using System.IO.Packaging. Note this is c# not vb, but the example use of the framework is all you should need.
http://weblogs.asp.net/albertpascual/archive/2009/05/18/creating-a-folder-inside-the-zip-file-with-system-io-packaging.aspx
private static void AddFileToZip(string zipFilename, string fileToAdd, string sDirectory)
{
using (Package zip = System.IO.Packaging.Package.Open(zipFilename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
{
string destFilename = ".\\" + sDirectory + "\\" + Path.GetFileName(fileToAdd);
Uri uri = PackUriHelper.CreatePartUri(new Uri(destFilename, UriKind.Relative));
if (zip.PartExists(uri))
{
zip.DeletePart(uri);
}
PackagePart part = zip.CreatePart(uri, "", CompressionOption.Normal);
using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(fileToAdd, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
using (Stream dest = part.GetStream())
{
CopyStream(fileStream, dest);
}
}
}
}
That post references another post by Jon Galloway that talks about 3rd party libraries and doing it manually. That is a good reference as well.
I have the path to a file i want to send to a rest webservice the server. I am using the xmlhttprequest object. The post is as follows:
var url = "http://localhost:8080/RestWSGS/jersey/gridsense";
var boundary = "--------------" + (new Date).getTime();
xmlHttp.open('POST', url, true);
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function ()
{
if (this.readyState != 4)
return;
var result =this.responseText;
document.write(result);
};
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + boundary);
var part ="";
part += 'Content-Disposition: form-data; ';
part += 'name="' + document.getElementById("filename").name + '" ; ';
//alert(document.getElementById("filename").value);
part += 'filename="'+ document.getElementById("filename").value + '";\r\n';
part += "Content-Type: application/xml";
part += "\r\n\r\n"; // marks end of the headers part
part += 'filename="'+ document.getElementById("filename").value + '";\r\n';
part+= data;
var request = "--" + boundary + "\r\n";
request+= part /* + "--" + boundary + "\r\n" */;
request+= "--" + boundary + "--" + "\r\n";
alert(request);
xmlHttp.send(request);
The data i want to send is on the client local disk. I want to use the get method for it :
var str = document.getElementById("filename").value;
var data;
var xmlhttp1 = getNewHTTPObject();
xmlhttp1.open("GET",
"file:///New Folder/" +document.getElementById("filename").value , false);
xmlhttp1.send(null);
alert('hi' + xmlhttp1.status);
xmlhttp1.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.status == 0)
{
alert("resp " + this.responseText);
data = this.responseText;
}
}
The file:// does not work. If i put my file within the client directory and remove the file:/// then i can at least see xmlhttprequest open and give status 200 (i think ok!!). I read that for local file check status == 0 instead of readystatus == 4 so i did that but it still gives data variable as undefined and so the file does not go to the server. Initially when i had given the form action as my rest url it was uploading fine. Since I am not using html5 i cannot get the File object from the input type=file element. I want to use the xmlhttprequest object for this instead of the form element directly.
Please help me with this problem with any suggestions or hints
KAvita
Even if i do the uploading using form submission how can i use the return value of the web service. Thats the reason I need to use xmlhttpRequest. If anyone can suggest how the return value from the action is used it will be great!!

Historically, you can't query for local files from JavaScript (or shouldn't be allowed to, or something's odd). This would be a serious breach of security.
There are only a few circumstances where you can do this, but in general they involve specific security settings requiring to be set for your browser, to either lift the limitation or to notify the current page's execution process that that is is granted this exceptional right. This is for instance doable in Firefox by editing the properties. It's also commonly OK when developing browser extensions (for instance for Chrome or FF) if they request the file access permissions.
Another way to go around this limitation is to host a local web-server, and to declare virtual hosts on it to be able to do this sort of AJAX request to fetch local files. It's quite common for web-developers to resort to this trick (more like a standard, really) to have the benefits of local development but at the same time replicate a production system. You could for instance use a lightweight web-server like Jetty.
(Another mean annoyance, that you seem to have encountered, is that some browsers - at least some relatively older FF versions, like 3.6.x - will sometimes return a positive error code like 200 when they requests are blocked according to their internal security policies. Can be pretty confusing for a while...).
Finally, the newer HTML5 APIs do provide some new constructs to access local files. Considering reading:
Reading Files in JavaScript using the File API
Exploring the FileSystem APIs
Other SO questions also provide additional pointers:
Access local files from HTML5 Desktop Application in html folder
Solutions to allowing intranet/local file access in an HTML5 application?
I use an iframe.
<div class="item" onclick="page(event)">HTML5</div>
<iframe id="page" src="">
function page(e) {
trigger = e.currentTarget.innerHTML;
docname = new String(trigger + ".txt");
document.getElementById("page").src = docname;
}
I found an easy solution.
You have to add "?application/xhtml+xml" behind your local url "file:///..".
I have tried all the recommendations on the web, to no avail.
I wrote a console application per these instructions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spcontenttypecollection.delete.aspx
The "Usages.Count" is = 0. Yet, when it tries to delete the Content Type I get an Exception:
"The content type is in use."
This is a brand new (development) install. I created a test site in SP Designer, created a Content Type,then a list. Then, I removed the list, removed it from Recycle Bin and tried to remove the content type...... Ugh.
I was frustrated by this issue until I found your comment. Excellent advice.
Delete from site recycle bin.
Delete from Site Collection > Site Settings > Site Collection Administration > Recycle Bin.
Delete from End User Recycle Bin Items.
Delete from "Deleted From End User Recycle Bin."
That's a lot of recycling! Once complete, I was able to delete the content type.
In addition to the recycling bins there's also the page called "Manage files which have no checked in version" under "Permissions and Management" on document libraries - the files in there can also prevent deletion of a content type.
this powershell script form this post also worked for me
$siteURL = "The Site url"
$contentType = "Content type Name"
$web = Get-SPWeb $siteURL
$ct = $web.ContentTypes[$contentType]
if ($ct) {
$ctusage = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContentTypeUsage]::GetUsages($ct)
foreach ($ctuse in $ctusage) {
$list = $web.GetList($ctuse.Url)
$contentTypeCollection = $list.ContentTypes;
$contentTypeCollection.Delete($contentTypeCollection[$contentType].Id);
Write-host "Deleted $contentType content type from $ctuse.Url"
}
$ct.Delete()
Write-host "Deleted $contentType from site."
} else { Write-host "Nothing to delete." }
$web.Dispose()
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace Test
{
class ConsoleApp
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
{
using (SPWeb webSite = siteCollection.OpenWeb())
{
// Get the obsolete content type.
SPContentType obsolete = webSite.ContentTypes["Test"];
// We have a content type.
if (obsolete != null)
{
IList usages = SPContentTypeUsage.GetUsages(obsolete);
// It is in use.
if (usages.Count > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("The content type is in use in the following locations:");
foreach (SPContentTypeUsage usage in usages)
Console.WriteLine(usage.Url);
}
// The content type is not in use.
else
{
// Delete it.
Console.WriteLine("Deleting content type {0}...", obsolete.Name);
webSite.ContentTypes.Delete(obsolete.Id);
}
}
// No content type found.
else
{
Console.WriteLine("The content type does not exist in this site collection.");
}
}
}
Console.Write("\nPress ENTER to continue...");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
Create a Console Application with the above code and run that project. This code will tell you the libraries in which the content types are attached. Then simply go that libraries and delete the attached content types. Then finally delete the content type from Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Site Content Types or you may use the above code as well to delete the content type.
This worked for me hope it may also work for you !!!
Thanks.
