Для таго, каб абыйсці праблемы KPI Я пісаў пра тут, I did some testing and discovered that KPI’s work against folders with meta data in the same way that they work against documents or list items. I proved it out by creating a new content type based on the folder content type and then added a few fields. I created some indicators and proved to myself that KPIs work as expected. This was welcome news. It’s not perfect, because the drill-down you get from the KPI against the folders is not exactly what you want. This isn’t too much a drawback in my case because 1) канчатковыя карыстальнікі не ведаюць нічога лепшага і 2) the drill-down goes to a folder. They click the folder name and they are at the item. It’s two clicks instead of one, якi не з'яўляецца канцом святла.

This flowed nicely with the work I was doing. I am creating a folder for every document that gets uploaded. This is done via an event receiver. У выніку, гэта кавалак пірага, каб захаваць бацькоўскай тэчкі meta data in sync with the KPI-driven meta data from the file itself since the plumbing is already in place. This allows me to have my KPI’s and eat them too 🙂

I modified the event receiver to add the folder and then set this new folder’s content type to my custom KPI-friendly content type. This bit of code did the trick:

 SPFolderCollection srcFolders = targetWeb.GetFolder("Дакументы").SubFolders;
  SPFolder дабаўленая папка = srcFolders.Add(properties.ListItem.ID.ToString());

  SPContentTypeId kpiCT = новы SPContentTypeId("0x0120002A666CAA9176DC4AA8CBAA9DC6B4039F");
  addedFolder.Item["Content Type ID"] = kpiCT;
  addedFolder.Item.Update();

Я ненавіджу прызнавацца ў гэтым, but I struggled with this one all day. My event receiver needs to update a field of its parent folder. This little bit shows how to do it:

прыватны ануляваць UpdateParentFolder(SPItemEventProperties ўласцівасці)
{

SPFolder thisItemFolder = properties.ListItem.File.ParentFolder;
thisItemFolder.Item["ZZ Approval Status"] = "Good news, ўсё!";
thisItemFolder.Item.Update();


} // UpdateParentFolder

У гэтым выпадку, I’m working with a document library and the properties are coming from an ItemAdded event.

The trick is that you can’t get the SPFolder of the item directly from the item itself (I.E. properties.ListItem.Folder is null). Замест, go to the list item’s associated File and get the File’s folder.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to come up with this. Аднак, I haven’t noticed anyone publish a trick like this since I started paying close attention to the community last July. Так, Я думаў, што я адпраўлю яго гэты хуткі і просты адладкі наканечнікам.

Я працую над падзеяй прыёмнік, які пачаў генераваць гэтую памылку ў 12 вулей:

Памылка загрузкі і запуску Conchango.xyzzyEventReceiver прымача падзей у XYZZY, Version = 1.0.0.0, Культура = нейтральнай, PublicKeyToken = blahbalhbalh. Additional information is below. : Спасылка на аб'ект не паказвае на асобнік аб'екта.

I didn’t know where I had introduced this bug because I had done too many things in one of my code/deploy/test cycles.

Я спрабаваў гэта рашэнне каб атрымаць мой PDB туды з надзеяй, што ў SharePoint 12 вулей пакажа трасіроўку стэка, but no luck. I don’t know if it’s possible and if someone does, калі ласка, дайце мне ведаць, 🙂

Я ведаю, што гэта магчыма напісаць свой уласны часопіс паведамленняў 12 вулей. Frankly, Я хацеў нешта крыху менш страшным і хутчэй рэалізаваць.

Мне прыйшло ў галаву, што я магу па крайняй меры атрымаць некаторую базавую інфармацыю следу, ловячы і зноў кідалі агульных выключэнняў, як гэта:

  старацца {
    UpdateEditionDate(ўласцівасці);
  }
  злавіць (Выключэнне і)
  {
    кідаць новы Выключэнне("Dispatcher, UpdateEditionDate(): Выключэнне: [" + e.ToString() + "].");
  }

Гэта выявілася ў 12 вулей канстанты выглядае так:

Памылка загрузкі і запуску Conchango.xyzzyEventReceiver прымача падзей у XYZZY, Version = 1.0.0.0, Культура = нейтральнай, PublicKeyToken = blahblahblah. Additional information is below. : Дыспетчар, UpdateEditionDate(): Выключэнне: [System.NullReferenceException: Спасылка на аб'ект не паказвае на асобнік аб'екта. at Conchango.xyzzyManagementEventReceiver.UpdateEditionDate(SPItemEventProperties ўласцівасці) at Conchango.xyzzyManagementEventReceiver.Dispatcher(SPItemEventProperties ўласцівасці, Струнны EventDescription)].

Гэта дало мне ўсё падрабязна мне трэба было адшукаць гэтай канкрэтнай праблемы, і я чакаю, каб выкарыстоўваць яго шмат у будучыні.

На мінулым тыдні я быў рэалізацыі "развіваецца" solution for a client that uses BDC and SPQuery and ran into some difficulty using SPQuery against a document library containing folders. Вынік: прызначыць "рэкурсіўны" да меркавання атрыбут запыту.

Мой сцэнар:

• У панядзелак, Я загрузіць дакумент і паставіць некаторыя мета-дадзеных.
• The following week, I upload a new document. Much of this new document’s meta data is based on the document I uploaded on Monday (which we call the "master document").
• We’ve created a web service façade that provides a BDC-friendly interface to the list so that users can easily locate that Monday document via a title search.
• A BDC data column provides a friendly user interface. (This is part of my attempt at using BDC for a more friendly Lookup column).

The final BDC façade service uses a query like this to do the lookup:

 // Used U2U tool to assist in generating this CAML query.
      oQuery.Query =
        "<Дзе>";

      калі (titleFilter.Length > 0)
        oQuery.Query  =
          "  <І>";

      oQuery.Query  =
        "    <І>" +
        "      <Geq>" +
        "        <FieldRef Name=\"DocumentId\" />" +
        "        <Value Type=\"Text\">" + minId + "</Значэнне>" +
        "      </Geq>" +
        "      <Leq>" +
        "        <FieldRef Name=\"DocumentId\" />" +
        "        <Value Type=\"Text\">" + maxId + "</Значэнне>" +
        "      </Leq>" +
        "    </І>";

      калі (titleFilter.Length > 0)
        oQuery.Query  =
          "    <Змяшчае>" +
          "      <FieldRef Name=\"Title\" />" +
          "      <Value Type=\"Text\">" + titleFilter + "</Значэнне>" +
          "    </Змяшчае>" +
          "  </І>";
      oQuery.Query  =
        "</Дзе>";

During the initial stage of development, this worked great. Аднак, we introduced folders into the directory to solve some problems and suddenly, my BDC picker wouldn’t return any results. I tracked this down to the fact that the SPQuery would never return any results. We used folders primarily to allow multiple files with the same name to be uploaded but with different meta data. When the file is uploaded, we create a folder based on the list item’s ID and then move the file there (I wrote about that тут; we’ve had mixed results with this approach but on the whole, it’s working well). The user don’t care about folders and in fact, don’t really understand that there are any folders. We have configured all the views on the library to show items without regard to folders.

I hit this problem twice as the technical implementation evolved and solved it differently each time. The first time, I wasn’t using the CONTAINS operator in the query. Without a CONTAINS operator, I was able to solve the problem by specifying the view on the SPQuery’s contructor. Instead of using the default constructor:

SPList oList = web.Lists["Дакументы"];

SPQuery oQuery = новы SPQuery();

I instead used a constructor that specified a view:

SPList oList = web.Lists["Дакументы"];

SPQuery oQuery = новы SPQuery(oList.Views["All Documents"]);

That solved the problem and I started to get my results.

I then added the CONTAINS operator into the mix and it broke again. It turns out that the CONTAINS operator, so far as I can tell, does not work with the view the same way as the a simpler GEQ / LEQ operators. I did some searching and learned that the query’s ViewAttributes should be set to "Recursive", як у:

oQuery.ViewAttributes = "Scope=\"Recursive\"";

That solved the problem for CONTAINS. На самай справе, this also solved my original search problem and if I had specified the recursive attribute the first time, I would not have run into the issue again.

The fact that a view-based SPQuery works for some operators (GEQ/LEQ) and not others (CONTAINS), coupled with the fact that KPIs don’t seem to work at all with folder-containing document libraries leads me to believe that SPQuery has some orthogonality issues.

Special Thanks:

• The good folks at U2U and their query tool.
• Michael Hoffer’s great "learning by doing" паведамленне ў блогу, comments and responses.

АБНАЎЛЕННЕ 02/29/08: I solved this problem by creating a folder and then assigning a content type to the folder which has the meta data I need for the KPIs. Я апісаў, што ў крыху больш падрабязна тут.

We have implemented a technical solution where users upload documents to a document library. An event receiver creates a directory and moves the file to that directory (выкарыстоўваючы тэхніку, падобнае таму, што я пісаў пра тут). We’ve successfully navigated around the potential issues caused by event receivers that rename uploaded files (mainly because users never start their document by clicking on "New" але замест гэтага ствараюць дакументы лакальна, а затым загрузіць іх).

The meta data for these documents includes a Yes/No site column called "Urgent" and another site column called "Status". We need to meet a business requirement that shows the percentage of "Urgent" documents whose status is "Pending".

This is usually simple to do and I described something very much like this at the SharePoint Beagle with lots of screen shots if you’re interested.

In a nutshell, Я зрабіў наступнае:

• Create a view on the doc library called "Pending".
• Configure the view to ignore folder structure.
• Create a KPI List.
• Create an indicator in the list that points to the doc lib and that "Pending" глядзець.

This simply does not work. The KPI shows my target (e.g. five urgent documents) but always shows the actual number of urgent documents as zero. Paradoxically, if you drill down to the details, it shows the five urgent documents in the list. I created a very simple scenario with two documents, one in a folder and one not. Here is the screen shot:

The above screen shot clearly shows there are two documents in the view but the "value" is one. The "CamlSchema" with blank document Id is in the root folder and the other is in a folder named "84".

Мне здаецца, што нават калі вы паказаць выгляд, the KPI doesn’t honor the "show all items without folders" ўстаноўка і замест, абмяжоўваецца ў каранёвую тэчку.

Калі я не мае рацыю, калі ласка, напішыце мне або пакінуць каментар.
