.bat file for stsadm command actions

Hi All,
  Most of the time during client deployment , there might be requirement of Re-Activating client related feature to provide the newly built functionality . usually we used to run the stsadm command as

stsadm -o activatefeature -name "CLIENT_FEATURE_NAME" -url "SITE_URL" -force

Apart from this client related feature, there we need to reactivate some more product related feature which include functionalities such as timerjob, adding content type to the list or adding new columns to the list,etc..In this case we need to enter the stsadm command again and again which makes you damn bore!!!.

Here is a solution to over come your "boring" feeling and enjoy the deployment process


  1. Open a notepad
  2. Paste the following code. I will explain everything below this snippet.
@SET pathToStsadm="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN"
@echo off
cd %pathToStsadm%
echo ------------------------Enter the following Inputs------------------------
SET /p url= Enter site url    
SET /p ClientRealtedFeature= Enter the name of client feature to be activated  
echo ----------------------ACTIVATING FEATURES----------------------
echo Activating FirstFeature ...
stsadm -o activatefeature -name FirstFeature -url %url% -force
echo Activating SecondFeature
stsadm -o activatefeature -name SecondFeature-url %url% -force
echo Activate ClientRealtedFeature
stsadm -o activatefeature -name %ClientRealtedFeature% -url %url% -force
echo ------------------------COMPLETED------------------------
PAUSE


In the above snippet:

pathToStsadm: set the path to the bin folder present in 14 folder, since the stsadm command.exe is present under this bin folder.

url: url of the site . Here note that when the prompt asks for entering site url , you need to provide the site url within the quotation .  viz. "http://siteUrl".

ClientRealtedFeature: provide the client feature name when it asks for entering the client feature name.

Hope this will help some one

Cheers

Now what you have to do is, go to central administration site.  1.Click on Manage web application 2.Select the web application on which your sitecollection is created. 3.Click on General settings and select Resource throttling 4.by default list view threshold would be 5000. your list might have data more than 5000.

The Fastest way to Export Schema of Sharepoint List

Many of my SharePoint Developer friends are struggling to get the Schema.xml file of a newly created list.
