2.Then go to Site Action->Site Settings->Click on “Solutions” under Galleries.

3.Upload the Exported WSP and activate the solution.

4.Then you need to go to site action--> Site Settings-->Manage Site features.

5.Check for a feature that starts with “Workflow template < Your Exported Workflow name>” And activate that feature.

6.Now its all set. Workflow is imported.

You can add the workflow to any List/Library by going to List/Library setting and click on add workflow. You will see that your workflow is there in the list as shown below.

The SPListItem provided is not compatible with a Publishing Page

Problem description:

I was facing this error while submitting information via list view webpart, additionally problems with the check-in – checkout functionality.

Note:

If you find a different solution, please report it as a comment to this post. Be sure to double-verify it: undo your solution and verify that the problem comes back, then redo it and verify that the problem goes away.

Error message:

The SPListItem provided is not compatible with a Publishing Page

ULS Logs Findings:

System.ArgumentException: Invalid SPListItem. The SPListItem provided is not compatible with a Publishing Page.    at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingPage.GetPublishingPage(SPListItem sourceListItem)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.WebControls.PublishingPageStateControl.RaisePostBackEventForPageRouting(String eventArgument, SPRibbonCommandHandler control, RaisePostBackEventDelegate raisePostBackEventDelegate)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.WebControls.PublishingPageCheckinHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument)     at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument)     at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)b3c1032c-e249-4879-82f6-02e4b3db028c

Troubleshooting done:

o   Checked the ULS logs

o   Tried changing the master page but didn’t resolves the issue

o   Checked with different templates but that also showed the same error message

o   Tried replicating on different web application but same results i.e. same error!

As you can see the error message itself saying that there is some relation with the publishing functionality so what you can do to resolve this issue? Here are the details.

Resolution#1:

1.   Open your SharePoint site

2.   Site actions

3.   Site Settings

4.   Manage site features

5.   Deactivate “Publishing Infrastructure” feature – scope is WEB

Once that done, we need to repeat the same steps at the site level (scope is different)

1.   Site ->Site actions->Site settings

2.   Site collection administration

3.   Site collection features

4.   Deactivate “Publishing Infrastructure” feature

Bottom line: we have deactivated “Publishing Infrastructure” feature at the web as well as site level.

Now, let’s re-activate the same feature one by one (order will be different this time) i.e. site scope first and then web scope.

If the above steps don't resolves the issues then please use the following script to resolve it.

Resolution#2:

$web = get-spweb "http://site-collection/URL-of-the-problem-site"

$correctId = $web.Lists["Pages"].ID

$web.AllProperties["__PagesListId"] = $correctId.ToString()

$web.Update()

$web.AllProperties["__PublishingFeatureActivated"] = "True"

$web.Update()

That’s it – done! – If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issue, Thank you.

Infopath Error: The amount of data that was returned by a data connection has exceeded - SharePoint2010/SharePoint2013

I have designed one InfoPath form which is trying to fetch number of items via data connection from SharePoint list which consist of more than 10,000 items. When I designed the form 6-7 months before then it was working fine without any issues but over the period of time, we have modified the InfoPath form with certain number of fields and this is a starting point of error – when published the form without any issues but the form is not opening in browser mode functionality and throwing the following exception.

Error message#1:

The amount of data that was returned by a data connection has exceeded the maximum limit that was configured by the server administrator. Form elements, such as drop-down lists, may be blank.

Error message#2:

Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available.

It took little time to figured out the resolution for this issue let me share the resolution in detail and Yes, step by step so that there will be no confusion.

Resolution:

1.   Open the central administration

2.   General Application Settings

3.   InfoPath Form Services

4.   Configure InfoPath Form Services

5.   Data Connection Response Size

6.   By default it is 1500 kilobytes -> Here is little bit testing you need to do with respect to your form. Like try to change it to 2000 and check the results.

If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you.
