DataView webpart - Creating Title Hyperlink and returning back to dataview

To create a hyperlink on a field, and also have it redirect to the page you hyperlinked from, use this format:

<td>
    <a href=http://northwindtraders/Lists/Products/EditForm.aspx?ID={@ID} onclick="GoToLink(this);return false;" target="_self">
        <xsl:value-of select="@Product_x0020_Name" />
    </a>
</td>

SharePoint Designer 2013 Approval Workflow with Comments

Image
Adding Comments to a SharePoint 2013 Approval Workflow I needed the ability to capture comments from Approval Tasks in a workflow.  This has changed greatly in 2013 workflows.  Everything is more modular and as such must be built somewhat from scratch.
SharePoint 2013 workflows can become corrupt.  This may have been fixed by a patch, but please refer to a previous post before creating any 2013 workflows in Designer: http://www.ericjochens.com/2014/12/sharepoint-2013-workflow-observations.htmlSharePoint 2013 does not have a built-in approval workflow, nor does a built-in task item include comments.  I solved this by building my own approval workflow, and using a custom content type to include a comments field.A SharePoint 2013 Workflow will not store the Task ID when a task is created, so you cannot do a lookup into that task list to grab comments or any other field.  I solved this by creating a separate workflow in the task list to read the Related Items column, and update the origin…

Why?

The Rename-SPServer PowerShell command can also be used to change the SQL Server name, for the case where you might move the databases to a new SQL server or instance and you need to point all of the farm servers to this new hostname\instance.

Changing the hostname isn't that bad, bu…

The Timer Service Failed to Recycle

SharePoint Timer Service Failed to Recycle In the Monitoring section of SharePoint Central Administration a Health Analyzer rule appears warning about:

The timer service failed to recycle.
Title The timer service failed to recycle. Severity 2 - Warning Category Performance Explanation
The last attempt to recycle the timer service failed as have most of the other attempts during the past week. Recycling typically fails because other timer jobs are running when the recycle is scheduled. To view which jobs blocked the recycle view the history for the recycle job and click on the failed status link for more information. The error message for the failed job entry will contain a list of jobs that were still running. Remedy
