Thank you for efforts and your willingness to make this available,

Great tool! I didn’t think it was possible to go and look into the database to pull files, but wow! Then again, I’m not exactly an advanced MOSS administrator, either!

I did have two questions though:
#1: After we export the docs.xml (metadata) and attachment_docs.xml (linked file), HOW do we get it into our new server? I know it exports it, but if everything is listed in an XML file, I’m unsure of how to get the files into a document library and show metadata. Do you have a how-to on how to do this, or a quick rundown on what to do?

#2: I keep getting the following error after it says “Export has been interrupted because of an error!”:
“System.IO.PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
at System.IO.Path.NormalizePathFast(String path, Boolean fullCheck)”, etc etc. It was a fairly long message that it gave, but I was unable to copy/paste, so I just typed that above :p

Any ideas?

SQL Servername:
“\\.\pipe\mssql$microsoft##ssee\sql\query”

Looking forward to utilizing your app, many thanks for publishing it.

Pascal.

Also consider doing the change stated by Jason Potkanski above.

Pascal.

Will this need to be run like the MU example, and what difference in setup with sub-domain or sub-directory.

Thanks,

Database Server:
-’SERVERNAME\Microsoft##SSEE’

SQL Server Database Name:
-’WSS_Content’

I have tried a combination of just ‘SERVERNAME’ with and without the ‘\Microsoft##SSEE’. I’ve also tried ‘WSS_Content’, ‘SQLExpress’, ect for the database name. I’ve tried all of the above with both authentication types with a known account with full admin rights. I’ve tried running this app on the server itself and remotely on my management workstation.

I would really love to be able to utilize your tool, it would be the perfect fit for our environment. Are there any suggestions you may have where I may be going wrong?

Thanks for your time,

Joe

For version compatibility… Latest version I tested was Sharepoint 2007. I have heard that it is working on Sharepoint 2010 but I never tested it.

Pascal.

I have pulled both the database server name and the database name from the Central Administration tool, however I receive the following error:

System.ApplicationException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (providers: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 – Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
at Sharepoint.DBExporter.ExecutionContext.Create(ConnectionDetails connectionDetails)
at Sharepoint.DBExporter.Program.GetContextFromUser()

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks for your time,

Joe

Thanks!
Pascal.

switch_to_blog($blog->blog_id);
wp_cron();
restore_current_blog();

Will run much faster.

Well I use WPMU so also the php command didn’t work. I didn’t know I must use the wget command.

Bravo!

You are … THE MAN!!!!
