Commented Issue: Cannot Sync Migrated List [8701]

hondophred — Thu, 02 May 2013 14:58:57 GMT

Recently migrated our sharepoint environment from WSS 3.0 to Sharepoint standard 2010.

I installed Slam 2.1 but i cannot get one of my lists (Building) to syncronize anymore. I get the error

> System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range. at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldMap.GetColumnNumber(String strFieldName, Boolean bThrow) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection.GetColumnNumber(String groupName, Boolean bThrowException) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection.GetRawValue(String fieldname, Int32 iIndex, Boolean bThrow) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.GetValue(SPField fld, Int32 columnNumber, Boolean bRaw, Boolean bThrowException) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.GetValue(String strName, Boolean bThrowException) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.get_Item(String fieldName) at Slam.SharePoint.SPListItemExtender.SlamUpdate(SPListItem listItem, Boolean runWithElevatedPriveleges, Boolean saveItem, Boolean saveAsSystem) at Slam.Activation.SqlDataSynchronizeTypeProcessor.SynchronizeListItem(SPListItem listItem) at Slam.Activation.SqlDataSynchronizeTypeProcessor.SynchronizeList(SPList list, SPContentType contentType) at Slam.Activation.SqlDataSynchronizeTypeProcessor.<>c__DisplayClass4.<Process>b__0()

I have simplified my extract down to one column and then down to nothing at all and i still get the error.

```
<Configuration>
<ConnectionStrings Default="SLAM">
<add Name="SLAM" ConnectionString="Server=XXXXXXXX\GWLRA;Database=XXXXXXXX;User Id=XXXXXXX;Password=XXXXXXX" />
</ConnectionStrings>
<DataMapping DataSchema="SLAM" >

<Fields>
<Field Name="Address" SqlType="varchar(255)" SPType="Text" Required="true"></Field>

</Fields>
</List>
</DataMapping>

</Configuration>
```

I can extract from a document list on the site and from a newly created list on the site.

this is the logs when i run an activate and a sync

This is what used to work with SLAM 1.3 in WSS 3.0 and what i would like to get working in the end.

Correction. I used the 1.3 SLAM beta for sharepoint 2010 and the issue went away. I could not get 2.0 or 2.1 to work for this list. I could add new entries to the list and they would sync but as soon as i tried to sync the whole list, I would get the same exception and the table would end up wiped.

I used version 2.0 instead and my issue went away.

My guess is there is an issue when it is adding SLAM Properties. If you save an item individually, does it fail every time? To verify that is even the issue you might also check in a tool like SharePoint Manager whether you have the "SLAM Properties" field on the list that's failing as well as on lists that work.

Commented Issue: Trace Level: Error [8683]

I have come across this more then once but I have not seen any solution for it. I am running the 78829 build and I am still getting the error.

When I run the sync it run and runs without error, but when I look at the EventLog it has halted with the error above.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: rtonerii **

I have been able to trace that error to when the records stopped syncing. It stops when that event entry is hit.

brjenkins — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 14:40:08 GMT

It took me a bit to understand the question, but what you are seeing is actually not an error. What is happening is that the logger is logging the level of detail it is set to. So you would usually see either Trace Level: Error when first hitting SLAM after app start or Trace Level: Verbose.

I am able to reproduce this error now and doing some testing. If the application pool recycles, like it does every night, this error will happen.

I have no way around this since the process would take many days to run.

New Post: Double hit on Sync

rtonerii — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 13:26:05 GMT

Is there any real reason on a double hit on new sync?

I see you are triggering on Updating and Updated.
Is there a reason you are doing this?

Also, you seem to be storing the SlamIdNumber in the sites property bag every time you get a new ID. Can you maybe explain why you are doing this? I am just curious.

I feel is slows down the process.

I had this same issue yesterday.

Regarding the second solution, it appears that the 'LastUpdated' SLAM property value is in US date format but the 'Modified' field in my list is in UK format due to the site being set to use UK regional settings.

I've updated the above VerifyItemRequiresSlamUpdate method to use SPUtility.ParseDate on the 'Modified' field only:

public static bool VerifyItemRequiresSlamUpdate(this SPListItem listItem)
{
        bool result;
        string updatedDateString = listItem.GetSlamPropertyValue("LastUpdated");
        string modifiedDateString = listItem["Modified"].ToString();
        SPWeb web = listItem.Web;

        try
        {
            result = !(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(updatedDateString)
                && (DateTime.Parse(updatedDateString, DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo)
                    .CompareTo(SPUtility.ParseDate(web, modifiedDateString, SPDateFormat.DateTime, false)) >= 0));
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            try
            {
                result = !(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(updatedDateString)
                    && (DateTime.Parse(updatedDateString)
                        .CompareTo(SPUtility.ParseDate(web, modifiedDateString, SPDateFormat.DateTime, false)) >= 0));
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                ILogger logger = ComponentService.GetInstance<ILogger>();
                logger.LogMessage("Exception", "Unable to compare dates: updated = " + updatedDateString + ", modified = " + modifiedDateString + ", " + ex.StackTrace);
                result = true;
            }
        }

        return result;
}

I also noticed that in the 'LastUpdated' datetime is being set using the InvariantInfo, hence the first check. At the end of the sync, I was receiving an exception on the updatedDateString masked as System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: There is already an object named 'SLAM' in the database, hence the second check.

It seems to work for me - exception free - and hopefully prevents a lot of unnecessary updating?

Hope this helps.

I am using a picture inherited content type. I will grab the newest version of the code and just switch the scope and see if it fixes it.

Commented Issue: Slam.Exceptions.SlamException: ID for item, *, not found [8620]

brjenkins — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:56:53 GMT

That is likely occurring on another list. If you changed it to use the content type Document then the SLAM events would attach to all document libraries. That is why the fix will be to allow adding a list content type to the slam config.

I don't know why you would get that sort of error on the same list that was previously working. The database schema would still be the same.

rtonerii — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:45:05 GMT

So,
Let me understand this correctly. I can slam something by a content type?

We need to slam the document library because, it inherits from item and the project has been live for a few years. A document library is really the correct option, we just want to query the metadata from it.

How do I specify what content type to get in a list/document library?

Just FYI when I used Recursive in the scope I was not seeing this issue.

Commented Issue: Slam.Exceptions.SlamException: ID for item, *, not found [8620]

brjenkins — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:10:17 GMT

We generally slam on content types, but slamming on Document in a site isn't always ideal. Of course the resulting table has a ListID, so you can still query documents from a particular list.

The appropriate change would be to configure a list level content type. In this instance you would slam Document on a single list. Slamming the list should still slam all content types, which would include Folder.

Another alternative would be to treat Library as a separate type altogether, but the list level content type slamming change would be simpler.

Commented Issue: Slam.Exceptions.SlamException: ID for item, *, not found [8620]

rtonerii — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:18:46 GMT

The issue looks like it is related to the folders being queried.

We have our folders extended to include metadata on them but we do not have the folder available to modification of additional fields.

I think we need to see if you can add a switch to each element type to include folders.

Is there a switch in the XML to exclude folders? They are going to make a lot of inaccurate records for me.
