Simple Powershell Script to take backup of all site collections in all webapplications in a farm

$webapps = Get-SPWebApplication
foreach($app in $webapps)
{
    $siteCollections = $app.Sites
  
    foreach($sc in $siteCollections)
    {
        $loc="c:\Backups_sitecolls\"+$sc.Url.Substring(7).Replace(':','')+".bak";
        $loc=$loc.Replace('/','_');
        "backing up " + $sc.Url
        Backup-SPSite -Identity $sc.Url -Path $loc -Confirm -Force -NoSiteLock
      
    }
}
This script clears the http:// section of url and replaces and replaces / with _ in the file name of site collection.
This needs a folder "c:\Backups_sitecolls\".
Replace : before port number with empty character.

Look up columns problem with List Templates.

When we try to recreate the lists with look up columns from one site to another site, we lose the look up connection.

For example if have two sites 

A and B

A has list called A1 which has a look up column referring List AL1

If you want to take a copy of list A1 and recreate it in site B as B1 with look up referring to BL1.

Follow these steps

1. Save List A1 as template (.stp).
2.  Go to site collection settings.
3. open the list template gallery.
4. Save the A1's template in your computer.
5. Go to the .stp file saved in you computer.
6. change its extension to .cab 
7. open the ziped file and extract the files in it to a folder.
8. Open the manifest.xml file in notepad (or any other text editor).
9. search for the GUID of list AL1 and replace it with GUID or BL1.
10. save the manifest.xml file
11. open command prompt and type the command "makecab manifest.xml template1.stp".
12. It creates the template1.stp file.
13. Upload template1.stp to the site collection of B site.
14. create the list B1 using template1.stp.
15. If you have multiple look up fields repeat the step 1 to 14 for all those fields.

So,
1) I had developed an infopath form (Web enabled).
2) In Tools -> Form Options -> Security and Trust, select Full trust and create certificate.
3) Deploy it on the desktop.
4) In the SharePoint site add the code to run "infopath.exe " command with the file name of deployed template.

Don't change the Column names of Repeating talbe in Infopath.

Hi,

Today when I was trying to display the data of a Data Source in the form of repeating table in InfoPath, I observed one thing.

That is the column headers in the repeating table are used as the references to the list to query and get the content.

EG:- After dragging and dropping the datasource on to the template and display it as Repeating table.

And if you change the Column name in Header, that column will loose the control to display data.

Even in the Data Binding options you can observer the unknown column.
