Commands to Deactivate, Uninstall, Install and Activate Features in SharePoint (MOSS)

I created a batch file that every time I have to update my particular feature, it eases the job.

One can create such file to speed up the development process:

My Installfeature.bat contents look like this:

set folderpath = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\"

%folderpath%BIN\stsadm -o deactivatefeature -name MyProject -url http://test.mysharepintsite.com

%folderpath%BIN\stsadm -o uninstallfeature -name MyProject

%folderpath%BIN\stsadm -o installfeature -name MyProject

%folderpath%BIN\stsadm -o activatefeature -name MyProject -url http://test.mysharepintsite.com

iisapp.vbs /a "DefaultAppPool" /r

Unable to delete Shared Services Provider in SharePoint (MOSS)

Sometimes The SSP you create in MOSS are not created properly. This can be result of interruption while SSP was being created or in result of bad migration from SPS03 or MCMS to MOSS. Symptoms: 1. In left nav of SharePoint Central Administration, the name of your new SSP will not render rather, it will show up as text. 2. If you try to delete that from the Central Admin, the Delete option is disabled. Resolution: You should delete the SSP using stsadm command line tool (NOTE: My SSP's name is "SSP" which is specified after "title" in command: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN>stsa dm -o deletessp -title "SSP" However, if you have any dependencies, you will have to delete them first or you will get following error when you try deleting it through command line tool: An object in the SharePoint administrative framework, "SharedResourceProvider Na me=SSP Parent=SPFarm Name=SharePoint_Config&quo

The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.

Cannot add a SimpleContent column to a table containing element columns or nested relations

Recently I ran into a problem while dealing with DataSets. I was adding a colum to an XSD through Visual Studio desinger and it kept failing with following error: Cannot add a SimpleContent column to a table containing element columns or nested relations. This is a known issue. However, the solution is not well known :) To be simple and streight forward, I tell you the solution which I tried and it worked, 1. Note down the column names, datatypes and relationships of the table. 2. Delete the table. 3. Add new table and add columns to it. 4. Redefine relationships. Best of luck.
