SharePoint Object Model : A Drill Down..

Hi:

I would be posting the code for basic and complete understanding of Sharepoint Object Model in detail..

Check out this place for code which i would be posting latter sometime.

Design view for the application i am gonna develope is shown.

Sharepoint 2007 ( MOSS ) Calender & Outlook

SharePoint 2007( MOSS ) has a two way sync with calendars in Outlook.So basically how to deal with its creation and synchronization ??

Steps :

Goto > Site Actions > Create > Tracking > Calender..

Once your calender is created to integrete it with Outlook.

Note : Upgrade to Outlook 2007 to get the full 2-way sync experience with MOSS ( SP 2007 ).

Goto > Lists > Actions > Connect to Outlook

Now your calender will be integreted with Outlook and you will find one more Calendeer tab in my case " Mukesh_Calender " with the list location been added to your outlook.

Synch Web Application : Failure

This is real pathetic to see such exception errors--

" Failure trying to synch web application "Some GUID" ContentDB "Some GUID" Exception message was Lock request time out period exceeded ".

Work-Around : Though you have to test it before implementing it in your production environment.

verify the number in cache.ini on all web-front ends in farm.

Ideally, different numbers indicate that the servers are not in sync.

Restting the password could solve your purpose.

Follow the KB article 934838 @

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934838

Also sometimes Reseting the file system cache could resolved many issues.

So stop the timer services

Stop this service by right clicking on it

%ALLUSERSPROFILE% \Application Data\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\GUID

> Leave the cache.ini as it is.

> Delete all other files (all guid.xml)since they are timer jobs related.

> Open cache.ini in notepad and change the number to 0.

Now start the "Timer Services".

Check again the value in cache.ini for 

%ALLUSERSPROFILE% \Application Data\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\GUID ; 

if it has changed to some other value then 0; your all web server has been synched with same timer job definitions.
