Values of a custom property whose type is set to Date are missing after you use the Spin.exe tool to import documents from SharePoint Portal Server 2001 to SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (843520)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003
SYMPTOMSConsider the following scenario. You migrate documents and metadata from Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001 to Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003. To do this, you use the Document Library Export Tool (Spout.exe) to export content from a Web Storage System-based document library in SharePoint Portal Server 2001. Then, you use the Document Library Import Tool (Spin.exe) to import the content to a Microsoft SQL Server-based document library in SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
Some of the documents that you migrate have a custom document profile property whose type is set to Date. When you view the documents in the document library after you import the documents to SharePoint Portal Server 2003, the column that is associated with the custom property is imported to the document library. However, the column does not contain any data. The values of the custom property are missing. CAUSEMicrosoft Windows SharePoint Services does not support the promotion or the demotion of custom properties whose type is set to Date. Therefore, custom properties that use the Date type are not imported to SharePoint Portal Server 2003 if you use the Spin.exe tool to import documents from SharePoint Portal Server 2001 to SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
