Re: Help

The WSS that comes with SPS 2003 is indeed WSS 2.0 but that still doesn't mean that this newsgroup is for people who are running SPS 2003.

There is a clear division.

WSS 2.0 *product* is here

SPS 2003 *product* is .portalserver


Restoring a WSS 2.0 site (whether from the WSS 2.0 product or from the WSS 2.0 part of SPS 2003) to an installation of SPS 2003 is a *SPS 2003 question.


If you consider it to be both a WSS 2.0 and an SPS 2003 question then one of the new newsgroups (which are for all SP products) is the place to post it.


To remind everyone, this is what you wrote "I ran smigrate program to restore these files into SharePoint Portal Server 2003 blank site" it is completely clear from this that you are restoring to an SPS 2003 installation.

P.S. "Help" as a Subject is less than useful.

Yes. I have SPS 2003 but the blank site which I have created is in services and I am trying restore the backup in a site which is created in sharepoint services 2.0. I am also assuming that the sharepoint services which comes along with SPS 2003 is 2.0. Hence the post in this newsgroup.

Obviously you have SPS 2003.

This newsgroup is for people who are running either the WSS 2.0 *product* or the WSS 3.0 *product*.

Questions from people running SPS 2003 go to the parallel SPS newsgroup which is microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver

(or indeed to one of the new newsgroups, but that's where you came from)

All,

I tried to get answers to this query on "sharepoint.general" newsgroup but no one responded. Trying my luck here. Apologize for double post!

Thanks,

Below is my post:

Hi All,

I made some improvement regarding restoring site from .fwp files. There were some 150+ .fwp backup files (each averaging around 20-30 MB) which were numbered in sequential fashion. I ran smigrate program to restore these files into SharePoint Portal Server 2003 blank site (created by using SharePoint services which comes along with portal server).

The restoration starts fine (takes around 40 minutes) performing various tasks and then comes to a section where it has to upload files into the site. It successfully uploads around 2000+ files before encountering a problem. There around 16000+ files which needs to be uploaded (according to smigrate console message). Smigrate keeps out putting this message "Web
server is busy. Please try again. Retrying, bad file <lists the file name>"

This message keeps repeating for rest of the 14000+ files (I think so..never had a chance to verify this). It then proceeds with successful site restoration message before coming out of the smigrate.

Nobody is using the web server as I am restoring this site to a dedicated server with plenty of HDD space and 1 GB RAM. Smigrate is the only program working with the web server for site restoration. I also checked the site settings on the web server and everything looked fine. I have set the connections to unlimited in the IIS.

I haven't applied Service Packs to SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or SharePoint services. Do you think the above problem was because SP was not applied? Or was something else wrong? Can somebody please guide me on this?

Regards,
Rohit

P.S If I need to apply SP, can somebody send me a link to the SP for both SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and SharePoint Services 2.0 (I think this is what is shipped with portal server 2003).
