• GUISPin by Renaud Comte

  Once again Renaud Comte, the GUI guy, made a user interface for a console tool. This time it is for SPin, the SharePoint 2003 import tool. Here is a quick overview of the tool. Updated : Changed the link to Renaud's blog and updated the link of the tool in the article. Posted May 04 2004, 08:14 PM by Unclaimed Blog with no comments

• Complete migration process with Spin and SPout

  This was appreciated on my old blog, so I put the article here : http://www.sharepointblogs.com/cmetral/articles/371.aspx It is a little test of SPin/SPout with a few documents but that can be useful to prepare a bigger migration. Posted May 04 2004, 08:08 PM by Unclaimed Blog with no comments

• SPin tip !

  As it was ask yesterday on the french user group, I rewrite it here ... When importing documents in a specific area with the parameter /area, you have to provide the logical relative path to the existing area. Explanation : I want to import in myserver>area1>area1child1, I specify "area1/area1child1" and not "http://myserver/area1/area1child1" (that could be logical) or "http://myserver/C3/area1child1" (that is the browser url of the area).

• Welcome in my thoughts

  My name is Christophe Metral, I am 24 years old and whereas I'm french, I work as Software designer at ilem in Geneva, Switzerland. I've been here for 2 years now (that's my first job !), and completed during this period a big project on SharePoint Portal Server 2001. But now it's time to dive into SharePoint Technologies 2003 and migrations ... I am a member of the french user group at www.clubsps.org and am active (or try to be) on the french SharePoint newsgroup. My hobbies are football (soccer), tennis, ski, Championship Manager (?!?!). Well I think it's enough about me for this post. I hope you'll enjoy reading me :-)) Posted May 04 2004, 03:01 PM by Unclaimed Blog with no comments
