Today I was playing with SharePoint content DBs for detaching and attaching. I mean changing the content DB of a Site Collection to a new Content DB (like restored copy of other environment like Prod).
So to do this, I was using STSADM commands like this:
stsadm -o deletecontentdb -url http://srisaihome:1099/sites/site2 -databasename wss_content_1099_1
I made this string in a notepad and coped to Commond Prompt Console and hit the Enter and I got the error like
“ Command Line Error”. However, I did'n’t do any mistake in writing the command. Here is the complete command I have written:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN>stsadm -o deletecontentdb -url http://srisaihome:1099/sites/site2 -databasename wss_content_1099_1
The weird thing is instead of copying the command from notepad If I type the command manually it works like a charm. Don’t be surprised, it’s weird but it’s true. Not sure how many has experienced this, but thought of sharing this in my blog.
Came across this article with the same issue - command line error. When I read what you'd written, I didn't believe it, but you're absolutely right!
ReplyDeleteCopying and pasting from Notepad didn't work, typing the command by hand did - very bizarre, but thanks for posting!
I am glad that it helped you...
