Hi guys,
I thought I would share with you the best SharePoint resolution method that I have found so far. SharePoint is a great application however it somehow crashes and falls over by itself after few months of real use.
Generally the problem is always with the data. Once SP is handed over to general users (i.e. rolled-over to the rest of the company), it will be impossible for SP Administrators to monitor what data that has been uploaded into SharePoint. A lot of the times these data cause SP to fail.
I’ve had soooooooo many incidents where menu suddenly stops working. User suddenly gets javascript error. Viewing/editing properties of a list item/document is not working, etc etc etc.
The best way to resolve general SharePoint content/site issue is by backing up the content DB, delete the web application, re-create a blank web application then restore the DB. 99% of the time it has worked very well for me. The issues I mentioned above are always fixed by themselves…not sure how 🙂
Hope this helps,
Tommy
