SharePoint Terminology


SharePoint Terminology – Administration

• SharePoint is a platform that is both wide and deep. Not only do administrators need to know the concepts of SharePoint, but also the surrounding technologies that it utilizes.

• SharePoint Administrators are more than just site administrators, they are ultimately responsible for the health of the platform, so understanding of core concepts of the platform is necessary.

• Community Resources

• Training, Training, Training



• Lots of Terms!!– Get everyone on the same page– How do objects relate to each other– Different versions have different terms

• Architecture Building Blocks– Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration– Microsoft.SharePoint

• Much Much More– Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment– Microsoft.SharePoint.Search– Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow



Farm

Site Collections

Sites / Webs

Lists & Libraries

Items

SPFarm farm = SPFarm.Local;

SPServerCollection servers = farm.Servers;

SPWebService service = farm.Services.GetValue<SPWebService>("");SPWebApplicationCollection webApps = service.WebApplications;

SPContentDatabaseCollection contentDBs = webApp.ContentDatabases;

• Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration

• Microsoft.SharePointSPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost");

SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();

SPListCollection lists = web.Lists;

SPListItemCollection items = list.Items;

Backup and Recovery

Backup and Recovery

Backup and Recovery

• Disaster Recovery– Small Disaster / Catastrophic– Planning / Testing

• Business Continuity– Service Level Agreements (SLA’s)– High Availability

• Development / Staging / Production• Methods

– Central Administration– STSADM– SharePoint Designer– SQL– 3rd Party Utilities– MS IT Site Delete Capture (Site Recycle Bin)

Backup and Recovery

Backup and Recovery – Central Administration

• What do you get– Single backup / restore operations (NO SCHEDULE)– Entire Farm, Web Application, Content Database, Shared Services Provider (MOSS Only)

• Where is it– Central Administration > Operations

• Who can use it– Farm Administrators

• Where should I backup to– UNC path (i.e. \\server\backup) NOT local path (i.e. E:\backup)

• What permissions are needed– Farm account and SQL account need write access to backup location– Remember both Security AND Share permissions

Backup and Recovery


• User Interface - Backup

Backup and Recovery

Backup and Recovery – STSADM

• What do you get– Backup / restore operations (SCRIPTABLE)– Entire Farm, Web Application, Content Database, Shared Services Provider (MOSS Only)

• Where is it– SharePoint Server– C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\bin

• Who can use it– Farm Administrators

• Where should I backup to– UNC path (i.e. \\server\backup) NOT local path (i.e. E:\backup)

• What permissions are needed– Farm account and SQL account need write access to backup location

Backup and Recovery


• Backup– stsadm -o backup– Site Collection– Catastrophic

• Restore– stsadm -o restore– Site Collection– Catastrophic

Backup and Recovery – MS IT Site Delete Capture

• Site Recycle Bin• How does it work

– Uses Feature Stapling– Stapled to all out-of-the-box site definitions– When user deletes a site, processes a backup/export before deleted– Stores site in a flat file

• When installed, NOT activated on existing sites

• CodePlex– http://www.codeplex.com/governance/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=14351

Disaster Recovery Scenarios


Disaster Recovery Scenarios – Catastrophic

• All Servers (WFE’s, APP and SQL are gone)• Communication is KEY• Determine what backups you have• Get SQL back online and start restoring databases if you have them• Get your box that will run Central Administration installed with the SharePoint bits• Get the remaining SharePoint boxes online and install all SharePoint updates to

match your backups• If you have the configuration database, connect… if not, start recreating your farm• Start all services needed• Restore content

• STSADM -o restore (from SharePoint backup)• STSADM -o restoressp (from SQL backups)• STSADM -o addcontentdb (from SQL backups)


Disaster Recovery Scenarios – Site Collection

• Individual site collection was deleted by site administrator• Determine what backups you have• Restore content database containing site collection into a temporary location (SP)

– STSADM -o restore

• Restore content database containing site collection into a temporary location (SQL)– STSADM -o addcontentdb

• Backup site collection from temporary location– STSADM -o backup

• Restore site collection to permanent location– STSADM -o restore


Disaster Recovery Scenarios – Dev / Stage / Prod

• Moving content between environments• Backup content databases in SQL• Restore content database to separate environment in SQL• Attach content databases to separate environment in SharePoint

– STSADM -o addcontentdb


Moving SharePoint Content




• When– Migrations– Maintenance– Organization modifications

• Why– Re-parent Lists & Libraries– Remove tie to custom site definitions– Managing Content Databases

• How– STSADM (Export / Import & MergeContentDBs– SharePoint Designer– Content Deployment Wizard

• What– Sites & Webs– Lists & Libraries– Items & Files

Moving SharePoint Content – STSADM (Export / Import)

• What do you get– Webs– Lists & Libraries– Items & Files

• What do you NOT get– Workflow Associations– Workflow History– Alerts– Recycle Bin– Audit Trail

• Other issues– Content Type Workflow Associations become broken– Difference in importing list items rather than documents


Moving SharePoint Content – STSADM (Export / Import)

• Export

• Import


Moving SharePoint Content – STSADM (MergeContentDbs)

• New Command included in Service Pack 1• Allows administrators to move site collections between content databases• Also utilizes stsadm -o enumsites


Moving SharePoint Content – SharePoint Designer

• What do you get– Lists & Libraries– Site structure

• What do you NOT get– Alerts– Audit Trail– List or Library Data– Recycle Bin– Security Permissions– Subwebs– Workflow Associations– Workflow History


Moving SharePoint Content – SharePoint Designer

• Export

• Import


Moving SharePoint Content – Content Deployment Wizard

• A tool for SharePoint 2007 which provides the means to deploy the following content:- site collections- webs- lists- folders- list items (including files)
