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 April 28,
2009.
Excel 2003 workbooks that contain cells that have large
comments are not filtered. Therefore, legacy Index service, Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server (MOSS), or Desktop search cannot search on the content in the
large comments.
When you try to publish a page after the application pool
has been running for two or more hours, publishing takes 30 minutes or longer.
This is a performance issue.
When you create a document in a document library, you enter
a date and time value for the newly created document in SharePoint. When you
save the changes, the date and time value is changed to include daylight saving
time (DST). You expect the date and time value to remain as entered.
Dates from Spanish-localized lists are rendered incorrectly
in DataForm Web parts in SharePoint Designer.
When you programmatically export or import a list that
contains a custom lookup field, the export process or the import process
generates an exception that resembles the following message:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException was
unhandled
If a site collection is very large, an attempt to delete
the site collection from a Web application fails. This causes the stsadm -o
mergecontentdbs command to fail when you try to move site collections from one
content database to another. Therefore, both the source content database and
the destination content database contain orphaned copies of the site
collection. SharePoint cannot access orphaned site collections. This issue is
resolved by adding an optional -gradualdelete parameter to the stsadm -o
deletesite command. If this parameter is present, SharePoint marks the site
collection as deleted to prevent further access while a SharePoint Timer job
gradually deletes the data in the site collection. After you install the hotfix
package that this article describes, the stsadm -o mergecontentdbs command uses this gradual delete functionality by
default.
When you try to attach a content database, the operation
fails because of process interruption. When this problem occurs, the database
is left in an unworkable state in which the content database can neither be
fully attached nor detached.
You create a site that contains two Web parts by using
SharePoint Designer. The Web parts are connected so that when you select a day
in the left Web part, the details of that day appear in the right Web part.
However, SharePoint provides the wrong date as a parameter to the Web part
connection between the date views. Therefore, the wrong details appear in the
right Web part.
The SPAlert.Filter property cannot set or get a filter value that conatins more than
511 characters.
When you add columns to a content type, the InfoPath
document information panel (DIP) must be updated as well. However, if the
column is one of a certain set of built-in columns, the DIP cannot be updated.
You cannot create an audit history to discover the roles
that a user has had or to see any changes in those roles. You can determine
what roles are currently assigned to the user. You can also determine the time
that a specific action occurred. However, you cannot determine what roles have
been changed. This problem occurs because several false audits are tracked at
the time that the change occurs. Therefore, SharePoint cannot create a history.
After the user's role is changed for the second time, you can only determine
when the role was changed. You cannot determine what the earlier role was.
The Form Web part causes rendering problems on all Web
parts on the page as soon as the Form Web part is connected to a document
library where the user does not have permissions.
Note Not only the Form Web part, but also any provider Web part that
supports multiple connections can cause this issue.
You cannot send meeting requests to a SharePoint calendar
from a user whose display name contains a special character, such as an umlaut.
The meetings are not created in the SharePoint calendar during incoming e-mail
processing. Instead, an error is logged. Outlook can open the calendar without
errors. Additionally, Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007 can process
the calendar e-mail without errors.
When you try to create a Gantt View for all decision items
from all meeting instances in a Decision Meeting workspace, only the decision
items from currently selected meeting instances appear in the Gantt
View.
Data in lookup columns that contain multiple values is lost
after you move site collections to a new content database by using the stsadm -o mergecontentdbs command.
Pages may contain links to the wrong location after you
perform a SharePoint farm restoration or after you attach a content database.
Search Security trimming needs about 100 seconds for 6000
results when Forms-based Authentication (FBA) is used. However, the search
needs less than 2 seconds for 6000 results when Microsoft Windows NT LAN
Manager (NTLM) is used.
Memory leaks occur when you upload an InfoPath form. This
problem occurs if the form contains two or more rows in a repeating table, and
the selected file in the repeating table is connected to a WSS column by one of
the following functions:
Merge
Sum
Average
Min
Max
You browse a "Grouped by" enabled view with the
Show filter choices option enabled. When you click to expand
the "Grouped by" items, you receive a "RENDER FAILED" error message.
When you move folders in a SharePoint list by using the
object model, the ItemCount value for the list is not correctly increased. This causes the
object model to return incorrect numbers of items.
In a document library that contains two folders, you delete
one folder. Then, you rename the second folder by using the name of the deleted
folder. When you perform an incremental content deployment, the incremental
content deployment fails. Additionally, you receive the following error
message:
Cannot rename "D1" to "C1": destination already
exists.
When you click Connect to discussion board
from a WSS alert in an Outlook 2007 instance that is connected to an Exchange
2003 server, you receive the following sync error message:
You manipulate custom properties for documents in a
document library. When you use code to read or to write the SPListItem.Properties property bag, data loss for date fields occurs. The data loss
occurs only when you call the SPListItem.Update()/SystemUpdate after the property bag read operation or write operation.
After a content deployment, the Content Query Web part is
empty under Meeting and events. This issue occurs because the
Content Query Web part's source list is changed from "/Meetings" to
"/default.htm/Meetings".
After you install the hotfix package that this article
describes, the CheckEffectivePermissions API is added to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
When you use incremental deployment to deploy a site that
contains lookup fields from Farm 1 to Farm 2, and then from Farm 2 to Farm 3,
the lookup fields do not appear on Farm 3. The lookup fields appear on Farm 2.
The deployment job from Farm 2 to Farm 3 succeeds. However, a warning appears
that says that the list that is related to the lookup field cannot be found.
You create a Discussion Board list. You add a new post in
the list, and then you insert an image at the end of the new post. After you
save the post, the image does not appear at the end of the new post. If you
click Show Quoted Messages, you can see the image.
When you set the least critical event to report in the
Event log to ERROR, and you set the least critical event to report to the trace
log to MEDIUM, the following messages are logged in the Unified Logging Service
(ULS) logs:
Preserving template record with size…
Deleting template record with size…
However, you only expect these ULS messages to appear if the
logging level for General is set to Verbose.
After you clear a value of a list column, you receive an
e-mail alert from SharePoint, and you find that the value of the list column is
still there. However, you may expect the value of the list column to be
formatted with strike-through in the e-mail alert.
When a list contains a calculated date column that is
referenced by the calendar view, you receive an unhandled exception when you
browse the the calendar view.
When you use Internet Explorer 8 at speeds under 180 kbps
to browse the Default.apsx page in a SharePoint site, you receive a JaveScript
error. If you refresh the page, the problem does not occur.
You set Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to send alert
e-mails when documents in the document libraries are changed. However, alert
e-mails are not sent on on filtered views of document libraries.
An unmanaged memory leak occurs when you add large volumes
of Office 2007 files to a SharePoint document library through the SharePoint
object model. This problem occurs with .docx files, with .xlsx files, with.pptx
files, and with other files.
When you browse Explorer view in the document library by
using Internet Explorer 7 from a Windows Vista client, you receive the
following error message:
Internet Explorer cannot display
the webpage.
When you try to un-publish a document in the document
library, and your permissions are set to Item Level, you receive an "Access
denied" error message.
When you save an InfoPath 2007 form that has a value that
contains percent (%) and double-byte character set (DBCS) characters, the value
is not promoted to a list column in Windows SharePoint Service 3.0.
