This
article describes the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 issues that are fixed in
the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 hotfix package that is dated June 30,
2009.
When you are
using reusable
content and perform
a content deployment, only one version of the reusable content is
preserved on the target site. It will always be the latest version on the
source site regardless
of whether
the latest version is approved or not.
You are using a computer that is in
a different time zone than the computer
that is running the SharePoint Web application. If you submit
content for approval, or if
you check in a shared draft, the start date of
the SharePoint document changes.
The row count of the AllLinks table in a destination Web
application database grows 2 rows after each deployment. However,
the row count should not grow.
You have a "Business Data" type column in a
SharePoint list. You
try to edit a list item and then
you click BDC Picker to set a value for the column.
However, the
picker generates a URL that
contains non-RFC complaint values. Therefore,
you cannot
use the picker if the SharePoint server is
located behind a proxy or behind
a firewall that
blocks URLs that
contain non-RFC complaint values.
You use SharePoint and
InfoPath to create Word document templates. You use the DIP
(document information panel) in Word with Word documents. You
change the
data type of one
or more than one site
columns.
When the data type of the
site
columns is
updated, the DIP must also
be updated
to display the new columns. However,
InfoPath fails when it tries
to update the DIP.
When you click Send To, and then click
Other Location to send a document in a Document Library, you receive
the following error message:
Copying to the destination
did not complete successfully.
You enable Auditing on a Site Collection for "Editing users
and permissions". Then, permissions are changed
on an item, for example, breaking inheritance or setting permissions to inherit.
In this case, a wrong ScopeID is written to the <scope></scope> area
of the EventData column in dbo.AuditData.
In a
scenario where an
item has a broken inheritance for
its
unique permissions the old ScopeIdinherited
from its parent list is written
to the EventData column of dbo.AuditData table instead of the new unique ScopeId
generated for the item.
In a
scenario where an
item is set to inherit permissions,
the old ScopeId of the item (which was unique) is written to the
EventData column of the dbo.AuditData table instead of the
ScopeId inherited from its parent list.
After
you apply this update,
you create an alert for a user. Then,
the Display alert for list should list the
user name and the user account.
Before you apply this update, the Display alert for list
should list the user account after you create an alert for a user.
When you try to do a search in a SharePoint site, the scope
"This List: Name of list, doclib etc." for
a particular listis
missing. This
issue occurs
because you are using the
Extended Web Applications and the
Alternative Access Mapping (AAM) settings.
In an extranet deployment scenario in
SharePoint, the
URLs to access SharePoint internally and the
URLs to access SharePoint externally are different. You access the
SharePoint externally, you
visit
a page that
contains a list view Web
part,
you edit
the list
view Web
part, and
then
you click the Edit current view link.
However, when you
click Cancel to go back to the
previous page, you receive a "file not found"
error message. Additionally,
when you
examine the
URL in the Internet
Explorer
address bar, it displays
an internal URL.
You have a SharePoint list that
has more than 500 items. The list has a column of
"People and Groups" type with the "Allow multiple selections" setting set to
"Yes". If you click Show Filter Choices in this list, you receive the following
error message:
#RENDER FAILED
Workflows do not recognize users from the
Membership Provider in the
SharePoint Designer when Forms-based Authentication
(FBA) is enabled.
When you try to upload a .mht file generated by a third-party
application
to a SharePoint document library, you receive the following error
message:
No "boundary" in CGI environment.
Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services.
You use
the "Site Warning Level" and the
"Maximum number of Sites" settings on a content
database to control
how to create sites in
a database. However, when
you add a content database by using
Central Administration or the stsadm -o addcontentdb command,
if the value that
you specify in
WarningSiteCount or the value that
you specify in MaximumSiteCount is less than or equal to the current
number of sites in the content database, the
values that you specified are not used. Instead, the following values are set:
WarningSiteCount = CurrentSiteCount + 500
MaximumSiteCount = CurrentSiteCount + 1000
For example., you add
a content database that
uses 1 site, a site level
warning of 0,
and a
maximum
number of sites of 1,
by using the following stsadm -o addcontentdb command:
In this example, the
database will be added,
but the site level warning will be 501
instead of your
specified value (0),
and the maximum
number of sites will be 1001 instead of your
specified value (1).
However, when the database is
added you can use to Central Admin and edit the values
as you
want. The values here
are only enforced when a content database that already has sites is added. You
must do this using through Central Admin because the stsadm command cannot edit the settings on a database that has already been
added.
After you install this update, the Site Warning Level will be
set to 0 and the Maximum Number of Sites will be set to 1 as specified by running the
stsadm -o addcontentdb command.
You use a computer
that is running Windows Vista
in a domain that has an "&" in its NetBIOS domain name. When
you try to use
this computer to checkin a document into a SharePoint
document, you receive the following error message:
This document was checked out to your local drafts folder but the
local copy could not be checked in to the site. Close any application that is
editing the document and try to check in again, or discard the
checkout.
Changes to the Allow Unlimited Length in Document
Libraries setting are not saved on the
site columns. This
setting can only be changed on
document libraries.
If you send recurring appointment E-mail
messages from IBM Lotus Notes to an E-mail
enabled SharePoint Calendar list, the
appointments are
created by using an incorrect enddate.
Therefore, the
duration of the appointments is always incorrect.
You move a sub-site to a new location, and then you
delete its earlier parent site. In this case, the
incremental deployment job fails, and your receive
the following error message:
Error deleting
Web site "/ParentSite/SubSite". You can't delete a site that has subsites.
The
following workflow JavaScript alert is not property translated
into
French:
"approve_CancleWorkflow_alert": A content
approval workflow is currently running to approve this item. If you continue
this action, you will cancel the workflow.
You
use the
Group By option in the People and Groups list, and then
you set the group to "Collapsed
by default".
However, when you try to expand the group, it cannot be expanded.
When you restore a host header site collection from a
backup to
a new host header site collection, the host header value in the restored site
collection is still the
host header of the old site.
After you restore the site collection,
if you detach and reattach the content
database of the restored site collection, the restored site collection is no longer available
and will
be left orphan.
When a SharePoint user
creates a circular loop between lookup columns, if
you click
one of the lists that contain lookup columns,
this action will cause 100% CPU usage on the
SharePoint server. To work around this issue, you have to perform
an application pool recycle.
You edit a SharePoint list in Datasheet view. When you rest your mouse on a
navigation item in the top navigation bar, the navigation flyout menus do not
appear.
When you create a DataFormWebPart in SharePoint Designer on
a Czech language site and then
you sort
and filter
column headers, the sorting and filtering is not applied to the
DataFormWebPart Web part.
After you install the updates described in KB 960010 and KB
960011, the Request Access functionality no longer functions for Active
Directory accounts that have
display name fields that contains
'{' or '}'.
You experience poor performance when you use the stsadm -o
export command to export large sites.
If you rename a .doc file in the
Document Library, the custom non-text properties of
the .doc file change
to a
text type and lose their values. The
custom properties are only created in the .doc file and there are no custom
columns for the properties in the
Document Library.
When you edit a detached page in the pages library
and then click Modify Shared Web Part, you are redirected to a
"This page has been modified since you opened it" page.
You use multi-value lookup values in a SharePoint list. However,
you
notice that some
documents in the SharePoint list are unpublished.
The
multiple
value
lookup values in the AllUserDataJunctions table are still present and flagged
as current
version
documents and
are not marked to be deleted. Therefore, multiple
value
lookup values become orphans. In this case, if you use the stsadm -o export
command, the export phase of the content deployment will fail.
In the issue tracking list, you can open and save an
attachment successfully for the first time, but when you try to save the
attachment again, you receive the following error
message:
The Internet Address <URL> is not
valid.
In SharePoint document libraries that have versioning
enabled, if you upload a new document and enter text
in the Version Comments text box, the text you entered in the
Version Comments text box will be lost, and will not be
visible when you view the version history of the document.
Incremental content deployment from a source Microsoft
Office SharePoint Sever (MOSS) 2007 farm to a target MOSS 2007 farm fails
intermittently with SQL deadlock errors.
You
can display pictures from E-mail messages in an E-mail
enabled "Discussion board". However, if
users reply to
your
E-mail and insert pictures,
the pictures from the
replied E-mail
message
are displayed
as "X"
in the
Discussion Board.
You install the Hotfix package described in KB 968850. However, when
you click Site Action in a SharePoint site, the menu
in the Site Action
is expanded to the same width as the Web page.
You create immediate alerts and
scheduled alerts on document libraries at the library level. You
receive
an initial E-mail indicates
that
a
message
alert is
created. However, you cannot receive alerts for all the
documents. This issue occurs in Contributor and Reader
when major and minor versioning is enabled on the document library.
As a site administrator, when you use "Managed checked out
files" to take ownership of documents checked out by
other users in a Document Library that has 9 or more datetime
columns, you receive
the following message:
Some of the files cannot be
checked out by you. They have been deleted or checked in by other
users.
If you select more than one file to assume ownership,
you notice that
the operation
succeeds only for the
first file.
You have a SharePoint document library with the Major
and Minor Version History option
enabled. You
also set
the Only
users who can edit items should see draft items option
to "Who should see draft items in this document library?". If you use the "Get
document" RPC method to download the drafts programmatically, it does not return
the Draft Version.
Search query summary results are not rendered correctly
when they contain Hexadecimal escaped characters. For example, a
hexadecimal escaped character
is displayed as "á".
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 supports the Irish and
Welsh locales after you install the Hotfix package described in KB969421.
However, after you select one of the new locale, you have to manually change the
time format to 24 hours to make
the
new locales work
correctly. After
you install this update, you do not have to perform
this time format change.
You configure a
SharePoint server to accept incoming E-mail
messages. You notice
that incoming
E-mail
messages are
processed based on their
alphabetical order in the Drop folder.
However, you want the incoming E-mail
messages to
be processed according
to their order of creation in the Drop
folder.
SPList.GetItems(SPQuery) fails when the item count reaches
the threshold value 2000, and you will receive the following error message:
Exception occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020009
(DISP_E_EXCEPTION))
When
a list is broken in your site, you cannot start a crawl successfully,
and you receive
the following error message in the crawler log:
Crawling fails with "List does not exist" error Indexing
and crawling failed with the following error: Crawling failed with an error for
this URL: Error 0x81020026 The SharePoint list pointed to by this URL does not
exist. Verify that it can be accessed using an internet browser. (List does not
exist The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have
been deleted by another user.)
However, you cannot delete the broken list
by using the stsadm -o forcedeletelist -url
http://servername:port/sites/sitename/listname command.
