sharepoint interview questions with answers: ListVsLibrary

<<Previous post>>

Move documents between document libraries along with versions?
You can only copy the documents to others along with major version only.

Exception: “The data source control failed to execute the update command
Got the above exception while trying to attach the file to the list item in MOSS2007
The reason for the exception is attaching file name exceeded the limit (max size limit for single file is 128 characters).

Exception: “The specified file or folder name is too long. The URL path for all files and folders must be 260 characters or less (and no more than 128 characters for any single file or folder name in the URL). Please type a shorter file or folder name”
By default, SharePoint limitation for Size of URL is 260 characters.
Microsoft recommended size limit for single file name is 128 characters and URL limit is 260 characters. 
I have uploaded one document to the document library and when I open it through browser the size of the URL is 258 characters(max limit 260) and later on I have changed the web application “http://India.com” tohttp://allindia.test.IND.com and now my the document size of the URL is 263 characters(means exceeded the limit).

As per my understanding: you can’t edit/download the document but we can view the document through browser.

SharePoint administrator interview questions and answers: Recycle Bin3

<<Previous page>>                                                                                            

Is it possible to re create the same site collection after immediate deletion of this?
We can recreate the site collection after immediate deletion of site but before starts we have to perform either of the below two actions otherwise you will get the below exception:
               "A site collection with the same URL is already in the Recycle Bin"

Action#1: Manually starts the “Gradual site delete:” timer Job.
Action#2: Return the “GradualDelete” parameter a $False in the PowerShell
Note: Microsoft recommending does not use the action#2 for in case of deleting the site collection which has larger volume. Reason it increases the load on the system during the deletion process.

I delete a site which has other sub sites. Now, is it possible to restore the deleted sub sites? I mean is it possible to restore the child sites without first restoring the parent sites.
Remember, Restore a child of site that has also been deleted, you need to restore the parent first. For example: If you try to restore “/sites/site1/subsite1/subsite2/sub3” before restoring the parent /sites/site1/subsite1/subsite2”, nothing happens.

Getting the exception “Specified method is not supported” while trying to delete the site?
Upgrade your databases to SP1.

What is the method to delete all the deleted site collections in web application?
Method to delete all the “deleted” site collections under a specified web application.

Get-SPDeletedSite -webapplication http://sharepoint | Remove-SPDeletedSite

Note: You will be prompted to delete them one by one, if you want it to run through them all without further prompts just enter the letter “A”

How to delete site that has other sub sites sharepoint?
SharePoint will give error “you can’t delete a site that has sub sites when we try deleting a site having sub sites”.
Good tip to overcome this and delete the site along with sub sites is using Site content and structure
In SP2007: using stsadm cmd, you cannot delete the sub site if it contains other sub sites.

Scenario on Office 365:

Deleted site collections go into the site collection Recycle Bin and are retained for a 90 day period. If you accidentally delete a site collection, it can be restored from the site collection Recycle Bin by a site collection administrator within 90. If you need a site collection restored after this 90-day period has elapsed, it can be restored by Microsoft within 14 days by contacting Office 365 via a Service Request.

IIS (Internet Information Server) is one of the most powerful web servers from Microsoft Corporation that is used to host the Asp.Net web application. IIS has its own ASP.NET process engine to handle the ASP.NET request. So, when request comes from client to server, IIS takes the request and process it and send response back to the clients.

Static-->variable, Method, Class, Constructor

Static Variables:
  1. A value assigned to a static variable will be shared across all instances of the class.  On the other hand an instance variable may have different values across every different instance of the class.
  2. Static variables can be mainly used for initialization purpose.

Static Methods:
  1. Static methods cannot access non-static class level members and do not have a 'this' pointer. Instance methods can access those members, but must be called through an object instantiation.
  2. Static methods can be called directly from class name.
    1. Explanation: So, need to create instance for those classes that contain static methods in it.
  3. Do not declare or override instance members in static classes.
  4. Cannot initialize instance variable or class variables in static methods.
    1. Explanation: if you declare instance variables in static methods. How can you use those variables? No chance to use of it. So not possible to create instance variables in static method.
  5. Static methods can be used to initialize the variables. But can only be initialize static variables in static methods.
