New Post: Download attachment from a form library item

josefehse — Mon, 06 May 2013 18:53:42 GMT

I'm in a project where I'm integrating SharePoint Forms (library) with Service Manager through Orchestrator. I'm stuck at the Attachment handling. I am able to retrieve the .xml file for the item itself and handle the information. However, when we are handling attachments, the Get Attachment List activity fails with this message:
Exception occurred in SharePointDomain::GetAttachmentCollection: Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.
Detail: Column 'Attachments' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.
I have tested and it works properly with a List Item (not a library form).

Any tips on how to handle this?
Thank you,

Jose Fehse

I figured out the solution. I will post it within the next few days when I get a chance. I had to get the Orchestrator Integration Pack for Data Manipulation.oip in order to get it to work.

I am trying to create a Runbook that will pull all of the users from a security group that are no disabled that have not logged into the network (Active Directory) in the last 21 days. I am using the Active Directory IP from Codeplex. I am stuck trying to get the lastLogonTimeStamp - 21 days to actually pull valid data. For troubleshooting, I am appending the lines to a text file to figure out if it is pulling the correct data, but I am stumped.

New Post: Using SCOrch to write to a SQL database

josh2992 — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 02:03:09 GMT

Sorry for my delayed reply, yes i did find a solution and it was also the SCORCHDev.SQL.OIP. I have found this IP to be pretty powerful and very useful, I can run a number of different .sql files and even alter the .sql files using something like a replace text activity followed by the deploy SQL scripts activity which is part of the SCORCHDev SQL IP.

Did you find a solution? I've been using the SCORCHDev.SQL.OIP to do my SQL Server table inserts. It allows more free-form SQL and lets you parameterize the input. I just set up a simple runbook and call this runbook all over especially for my logging.

New Post: Using SCOrch to write to a SQL database

josh2992 — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 01:08:49 GMT

Hello again,

I have become stuck on a workflow that I am currently building. I am at a stage where I want to write data into a collection of differen tables within a database and was wondering what the best way to do this is.

I have found the 'Write To Database' activity, but this seems like a bit of a hassle to use if I am adding a whole lot of different data. Is there any way that I can add data using straight SQL. However I obviously don't want to be using hard coded SQL, I want to be able to have a template-like SQL script and then add all the data values into this template each time the workflow is run.

New Post: SharePoint IP - Download Document Error

pimleys — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 10:15:22 GMT

Yes, you need to include the entire path incl. filename here. Some extra advise: Try to avoid fixed names and use Published Data or define a variable for it. that makes it flexibleand better manageable.

New Post: SharePoint IP - Download Document Error

josh2992 — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 23:41:16 GMT

Thanks for the reply. The S: drive is present, it is a network drive so it is available to all servers. After a lot of trial and error, I have finally figured out that my syntax is the issue. When giving a location for the file to be written to, i have to include an actual file name not just a folder location.

Wrong:

S:\

Right:

S:\filename.csv

New Post: SharePoint IP - Download Document Error

pimleys — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:52:42 GMT

Josh,

is this S: drive present on the Sharepoint server or on the Orchestrator run book server?
Why don't you download the file to a local drive on the sharepoint server and then do the SQL import from there or move the file further from the local drive to the required location. There is a run book action available to create a drive mapping.That should defenitely work.

New Post: SharePoint IP - Download Document Error

josh2992 — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 01:54:02 GMT

Hi Guys,

I am quite new to SharePoint and Orchestrator and am working on an automation project to pull down a document from SharePoint and then take the data out of that document (csv file) and input it into a database. This would replace the current method of having to manually look up the data and then enter it by hand into a form.

Anyway, I have begun with the Integration Pack for Microsoft SharePoint 1.30. I have my monitor list item set up correctly, so when it sees the document uploaded, it will move to the download document activity. However i get an error (see below) on the download document activity. When I check the logs, it would seem that the correct file is being accessed as the ID I pass in comes from the ID published by the monitor list item activity. I just don't understand what the error means exactly:

Exception occurred in SharePointDomain::DownloadFile: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Details: Url = http://**********.*******/*********/********************/*****/*******/Document%20Library/check.csv, Destination = S:\

Exception: Exception
Target site: SharepointDomain.DownloadFile

Stack trace:
at jf.SCOrch.Integration.SharePoint.SharepointDomain.DownloadFile(String url, String destination)
at jf.SCOrch.Integration.SharePoint.DownloadDocument.DoExecute()
at jf.SCOrch.Integration.SharePoint.DownloadDocument.Execute(IActivityRequest request, IActivityResponse response)

*Please note: I have replaced the SharePoint address wth asterisks just as a measure of confidentiality, in reality it is the correct location.

Does anyone have any idea as to what would cause this error. Also if anyone has any idea on how to better achieve what I am looking for or any other suggestions, please feel free to let me know, it would be much appreciated.

New Post: Issue invoking SC 2012 Orchestrator SP1 runbooks using System Center Orchestrator Web Service PowerShell

giovannifl — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 09:02:17 GMT

The root cause has been identified checking Microsoft KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2738490 .

"You may experience one of the following problems while using the System Center Orchestrator Orchestration Console or when accessing System Center Orchestrator data using the Web Service:

New Runbooks and/or Folders that have been created using the Runbook Designer are not displayed even though the user has the appropriate permissions to see them.
Summary pages have incorrect results for all statistics."

System Center SP1 should have fixed this issue but it did not resolved it.

New Post: Issue invoking SC 2012 Orchestrator SP1 runbooks using System Center Orchestrator Web Service PowerShell

giovannifl — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:43:51 GMT

Hello,
I'm tryng to invoke remotely SC Orchestrator (SCOrch) runbooks using System Center Orchestrator Web Service PowerShell module.

Actually I'm experiencing some random issue when I invoke more runbooks at the same time.

When there is an error, i recevive this message:

"__You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

  ``

If I send a single execution everything is right.

Note: when I invoke more runbooks at the same time opening more powershell console, it's true that in some console I receive that error but SCOrch has received them and it put them in its queue and execute them when it is their time.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance

Giovanni

Any chance of getting an SP1 RTM-compatible version of the Sharepoint IP? Or would it be possible to post the code to CP, and I can take it from there?
