SharePoint 2007 Config LDF File Grown up like Beast

By Udayakumar Ethirajulu , on March 24th, 2010

Today my server started throwing low disk space error in C drive. I had more than 60 GB free space in my drive, No clue what happened. Then I started drilling into my folders to find the issue.

Finally, I found the SharePoint_Config_Log file size is 52 GB. :-O

Solution:

Right Click the Database

Select Tasks -> Shrink -> Files

Select Release Unused Space and click OK.

If you still couldn’t get much space.

Shrink the log file using script.

USE SharePoint_Config
GO
DBCC SHRINKFILE (SharePoint_Config_Log, 50)
GO

Unable to Publish InfoPath form as Browser enabled in SharePoint 2010 Site

By Udayakumar Ethirajulu , on March 20th, 2010

I tried to publish the InfoPath form to SharePoint 2010 as browser enabled. But it had shown the following error while publishing.

Problem:
“This form template is browser-compatible, but it cannot be browser-enabled on the selected site”

Solution:

State Service need to be enabled in Farm. State Service in SharePoint 2010 is used to store the temporary data in HTTP requests on SQL. Enable state Service in Central Admin using Farm Configuration wizard.

Client Object Model in SharePoint 2010 – Part 1

By Udayakumar Ethirajulu , on February 12th, 2010

Client Object Model in SharePoint 2010 is one of the developers dream. It enables developers to
access the SharePoint data from client, the code need not to be deployed in to the server.

Client Object Model can be used in the following three ways.

  • .Net CLR
  • Silverlight Object Model
  • JavaScript

.Net CLR Example:

Create the context to the SharePoint site. No traffic/requests will be made to the server until you call the ExecuteQuery()


try

Source Code

{


ClientContext ctx = new
ClientContext(“http://localhost”);


Web site = ctx.Web;

ctx.Load(site);

ctx.ExecuteQuery();

site.Title = “Update from Client Object Model – Win App”;

site.Update();

ctx.ExecuteQuery();


MessageBox.Show(“Update Succeeded”);

}


catch (Exception ex)

{


MessageBox.Show(“Update Failed “ + ex.ToString());

}

Unable to connect to SQL Server session database the connection string was returned by an instance of the IPartitionResolver type

By Udayakumar Ethirajulu , on January 26th, 2010

Today, I was playing with authentication providers for setting up the site with anonymous access.

Suddenly the site started throwing the below error. I have no clue what’s wrong on the DB Server, then I restarted the DB Server no luck L

Exception:

Exception Type: System.Web.HttpException Exception Message: Unable to connect to SQL Server session database. The connection string (server=’Uday\Sharepoint’, database=’Uday_Content_DB’) was returned by an instance of the IPartitionResolver type ‘Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.SqlSessionStateResolver, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c’

Solution:

It’s pretty simple close all your browsers and clear the browser cache J

Somehow the session is getting crashed.
