I was facing one issue while
creating a new site from site template in our customer environment. This site
was created in our local environment and I saved it as a template.
Below
is the screenshot for the error what customer are facing.
After
investigating with this feature id, I found that, there is a hidden feature
named “WACustomReports” at site collection label, that need to be deactivated
before saving the site as template.
Error
Message:
The site template requires that the Feature be
installed in the farm or site collection. Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft
SharePoint Foundation.
Please
activate this feature "Web Analytics Customize Reports functionality"
on the root site where you are trying to create the site based on this
template. Here is the exact name - WACustomReports
OR
Here is the command to activate that
feature (Any feature which is missing): Enable-SPFEATURE
WACustomReports –URL http://sitecollectionURL
But
here is the END USER reply that I received from the end user:
“In our environment, we don’t have any access. We are only
sharing the templates with instructions. Client is having only Site Collection
Admin rights, not central admin rights. That’s why I deactivated this HIDDEN feature
from our dev environment. Took a backup and will share with customer today.”
So bottom
line:
No direct access to do these things which has suggested above.
So what’s the next action plan?
Here
is the resolution for this-
-
Save the wsp to your desktop
-
Renamed it to the .CAB file
-
Extract the contents
-
You will see four folders underneath ( adminListInstances, adminModules,
adminPropertyBags and adminWebTemplate)
-
Go for adminWebTemplate
-
Go inside the "admin" folder
-
You will see "ONET.XML"
-
Edit with notepad
-
Control F and search for WACustomReports (please refer the following
screenshot) to get more clarity
-
remove the lines which are for the above feature
-
Save the notepad.
-
Repackage the files again and save as .WSP
How to repackage
it? Here are the steps:
1. Rename WSP
file to CAB and extract all the files
2. Modify the
necessary files
3. Rebuild
the correct directory structure for the solution
4. Copy the
files into that directory structure (in the right place)
5. Create a
DDF file indicating name and location of all files to be in WSP file
6. Run
MakeCab using created DDF file to create cab, and then rename cab to WSP
