Copiar biblioteca de documentos manteniendo versionamiento y metadatos

No lo he probado, pero para tenerlo como información, por si no funciona mi código CopyTo, para versionamiento...

Copying documents between libraries with metadata – including version history

– “How do you move (or copy) documents from one library to another while keeping version history intact?” –

This is one of those tasks that, although it sounds pretty straightforward and simple is actually not one of the easiest things to take care of.

From what I've been able to find, there's really only a few different approaches to this that most folks take:

• Explorer view (or Network place) copy/paste
• Save site as a template – including content (*only works if library size is less than 10MB)
• Or the new "Manage Content Structure" page offered in MOSS.

The first option, as proved numerous times by many users, does indeed copy the file(s) to the new library, but it doesn't preserve any version history (note – apparently for some users, doing a "move" rather than a "copy" has successfully brought over the version history, although I have never gotten his to work and realistically, I don't prefer this approach because I don't care for the idea of losing the original source document in this scenario).

Option two is also not a reliable approach due to the size limit's on how big the content can be that you're saving (*default limit only – size can be modified through STSADM – mentioned here:http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/meronf/archive/2006/08/22/2617.aspx), and it's kind of a “kludgy” approach in the first place because its really just a work-around to move documents one time (not a true “archiving” method since you cant just make updates based on the original documents and apply those changes to the “templated” library – obviously this isn't the point of this method, but some users may want this functionality and wont have it if following this approach).

Option three relies on your having MOSS installed. 
Ok, fine…but what about those of us working with an instance of WSS only and not MOSS?

After researching all the possible approaches (minus paying someone an outrageous amount of money for a program that promised to do this), I decided to investigate if I can perform this programmatically through the SharePoint object model…which I'm happy to report was not quite as difficult as I had thought (although I ran into a few interesting logic problems along the way, but did manage to get past them).

 
– Version history?  What the Heck??? –

The first thing we need to understand is just how SharePoint deals with versions. Once you turn on versioning on a document library, you're enabling the use of a new “virtual” directory set aside for the sole purpose of providing a “web” interface to access previous versions of a document that are all stored in the content database.  This new directory is called “_vti_history“, and includes a number in each document's URL that signifies it's actual version – it's also important to note that all the documents accessed in the virtual folder are previous versions of the document only, not the current version that is displayed in the document library itself (this will be important to remember later when programming on versions).

An example of these URL's for document versions would be something similar to:

• http://www.mydomain.com/_vti_history/1/Shared%20Documents/Test.doc
• http://www.mydomain.com/_vti_history/2/Shared%20Documents/Test.doc
• http://www.mydomain.com/_vti_history/3/Shared%20Documents/Test.doc
• http://www.mydomain.com/_vti_history/512/Shared%20Documents/Test.doc
• http://www.mydomain.com/_vti_history/1024/Shared%20Documents/Test.doc
• http://www.mydomain.com/_vti_history/1025/Shared%20Documents/Test.doc
• http://www.mydomain.com/Shared%20Documents/Test.doc

(The last URL listed does not contain a number or the “_vti_history” path because it is the current version of the document.)

You'll notice in the URL's the number immediately following the “_vti_history/” part of the address.  This number specifies exactly what the version number is for the document.

• URL number “1” = version “0.1“
• URL number “2” = version “0.2“
• URL number “3” = version “0.3“
• URL number “512” = version “1.0“
• URL number “1024” = version “2.0“
• URL number “1025” = version “2.1“

So, by looking at these numbers, we can start to see a pattern forming (which again will become very important later when we begin coding).  You'll notice that all the minor versions (numbers to the right of the decimal point) are all based on a single number counting system, whereas the major versions (numbers on the left of the decimal point) are based on a “512″ increment system (I like to call this a “base-512” counting system). 

For example, let's say we have a document that is version “14.7″.  Following the pattern and the base-512 counting system, we'd come up with a number of “7175″ (512 * 14 + 7) making the URL http://www.mydomain.com/_vti_history/7175/Shared%20Documents/Test.doc.

Now, I do have to state that I absolutely despise mathematics.  I hate it with a passion.  It always has been, and will continue to be, my worst subject and is the constant source of many-a-migraine   This particular base-512 system threw me for a bit of a loop when attempting some of the coding for this, but in the end I was able to tame it somewhat and come up with a workable solution for the logic it was confusing me with.

  
– Logic?  More of a fad if you ask me. –

So, now that we know how SharePoint deals with document versions, let's take a quick look at the logic that will be involved in copying the contents of one library to another (then we'll jump into the code and get this post over withJ).

First and foremost, since we'll be programming against SharePoint, we'll need to make sure we can get access to the objects available in its object model so make sure in your web project that you add in a reference to the SharePoint.dll (located in the ISAPI folder of the 12 hive).

The steps the program will take are this:

1.      Enumerate all sites in the current web collection and populate the “source site” and “target site” dropdown lists.

a.       For this, I'm adding in a parsed version of the site's URL into the text field of the list that has the domain portion of the URL removed only (makes it easier to read).

b.      In the “value” attribute I'm adding in the full URL.

2.      On selection of the source or target site, the corresponding source or target “library” dropdowns get populated with a list of all the document libraries in the selected site.

a.       Allows us to build the connection for the document library to be copied and its destination.

b.      Additionally, I'm trimming the list of available libraries down to (standard) user-accessible libraries only (removing libraries such as the “Master Page Gallery”, “Workflows”, etc.)

3.      Next, after selection of the source and target have been established, on the button click event, we begin to format the URL's we'll need, setup our connections, then begin to enumerate the documents in the source library and process them.

a.       During the document processing, there's a specific approach that had to be taken due to how the documents are stored and accessed as follows:

b.      For each document in the library, check to see if it has any versions and if it does, grab it's URL and parse out the version number (the “base-512″ number mentioned earlier) and add it to a new SortedList object as a key with no value (we'll use this is a comparison object later) making sure to first convert it to an integer.

                                                               i.      Converting to an integer is actually a rather important step during this process that threw for awhile until I figured out what was happening.  The SortedList object in .NET does perform automatic sorting on its keys (part of the appeal of the object), but it does treat the keys different depending on the type being entered.  Since it's essentially a combination between an Array and a HashTable, it will take any object type you want to add, but adding in the parsed URL as a string has an inherent problem. 

If we add in for example, the following values: “1″, “2″, “512″, “1024″, they will actually be sorted in the list as “1″, “1024″, 2″, “512″.  This is not good!  Since we're working with versions, they must be in a specific order, and as described earlier in this post, the numbers follow a set pattern.  Having them sorted based on the string sorting will make it so our copied versions will go to the new library in the wrong order (very badL).  So, in order to have them sorted in the correct “numerical” order – convert the string number to an integer and all will be fine (finding this out took almost as long as writing the entire program itself).

c.       Next, for each of the keys we just added, we'll again loop through all the versions, again parse out the version number from the URL and find the one that matches the key.

d.      Once we have a match, we'll send the parsed out number (converted to an integer again) to a custom “version checking” method that looks to see if it is a minor or major version and adds it into the target document library as the appropriate version.

                                                               i.      In this method, a couple actions take place.

1.      In order to have an adequate checking system for versions that would allow me to be able to pass in any version number regardless of how large, I had to process the integer through a simple base-512 check ( I say “simple” only because after the time it took me to figure out how to do it, it wound up only being three small lines of code to process the number and then a simple “if/else” to check if it was a major or minor.did I mention earlier how much I hate Math?!?! L).

2.      Once the number has been processed and deemed either major or minor, it is then added to the target document library with the appropriate version.  (Since versioning will be turned on in the target library, as I add in each successive version, the number will increment accordingly.)

e.       Once all the versions have been added, the last step is to then add the current version of the document.

                                                               i.      Since we already have the context of the current document during this entire process, this part is simply running a check to see if the current version is major or minor version then adding it to the target library and publishing it if it's a major version.

So, that's it.  Not too complicated, just a logical step by step process to grab each document, process it for a few checks, the copy it to a target library.  Here's the code to do all this:

(Note – There are of course, ways in which the code can be streamlined and made more efficient, but for the sake of this exercise, it should serve as the foundation for what you can build on to suit your needs.)
