Comment on Moving OneNote between SharePoint environments by sharepoinTony

Beniot,
I really appreciate your comment & the information contained in it. I don’t think that the process you outlined is very difficult. I also don’t think people move shared OneNote notebooks very often, so with that in mind it is also not much effort that is required for an occasional task.

Coincidentally, I was going to try & figure out what the best process would be to move OneNote between SP2010 farms…you answered that question for me! Thanks!

cheers,
tony

Comment on Moving OneNote between SharePoint environments by Benoit Barabe

This will indeed work properly for moving from a 2007 server to a 2010 server. But it will not work moving from a 2010 server to any other server. On Sharepoint 2010, some of the data is not immediately reflected in the .one files on the server (it is on the server databases). So the safest way is to use Change Location on the first computer – which will create the file at the target location if they do not exist. When you are successfully synching at the new location, a good practice is to remove the .one files from the original location and leave a “readme.one” file with a shortcut to the new location.

Sorry we didn’t make this as easy as it could.

Thank you Tony, you have inspired me to start my own paper.li. Now all I have to do is decide what to call it!

Comment on Calendar Reminder (Part 2) by DBB

Oh, it’s definitely something to do with the variable. I’ve removed/recreated it several times. Right now, I’ve replaced it so that emails will be sent to Team Members, and that seems to work, so I’m not sure what/how else to troubleshoot the variable issue…

One thing I’ve noticed: if the event is created and one forgets to select the “send reminder,” the email will not send if the event is edited after creation to choose that option. Is that normal?

Thanks!

It sounds like you don’t have a type mismatch, however if the error is happening within Designer then I suspect that there is a problem with that variable. You can verify that by temporarily removing the use of the EmailAddresses variable in step 4. The workflow won’t be fully functional, however if you don’t get an error when saving etc. then you know that it is something to do with that variable.
Add it back in after that exercise and then you can try to track down the error, which you should verify that is still occuring within Designer.

New to SPD, but your setup instructions were detailed enough to walk me through it. However, I – like a couple of other posts here – am having an issue with the “then Email Variable:EmailAddresses” action line throwing a workflow error in Step 4.

I’ve verified that:

- my Calendar column for email recipients is of type (plain) text, and that
- the EmailAddresses variable is defined and set to type String

So in my mind, the error should not be due to a type mismatch, correct?

In post #36, in addition to the two possible causes I’ve mentioned above, you state “Then verify that the Calendar ReminderEmail field is populated with valid email addresses.” I’m not sure I follow this, because at workflow design time, there isn’t even a calendar event created yet, let alone the calendar column field populated with recipient email addresses.

Am I missing something? The error is so vague – is there possibly something else, like reserved keywords, etc. that may cause this? I’ve deleted and recreated this multiple times to no avail.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks for the reply. I did notice the from address is the global SP address but the display name was the site, thought I could chage the display name. I’ll take a wonder down SP config.

The From address is set globally in your SharePoint farm – Outgoing email settings. You can change it, but it will change for all outgoing email.
