Installation
To install CopyMove for SharePoint, please follow the instructions below:
- Download the product from www.sharepointproducts.com
- Log-in to anyone of your SharePoint front-end Web servers. NOTE: IT IS ONLY NECESSARY TO INSTALL THE PRODUCT ON ONE FRONT-END SERVER IN A MULTI SERVER FARM.
- Unzip the CopyMove files to a location of your choice on the front-end Web server.
- Run Install.cmd for new installations and Upgrade.cmd for existing ones and wait for it to complete.
- The CopyMove files have now been installed and deployed to all front-end Web servers in your SharePoint farm.
- Activate the farm level feature named "CopyMove for SharePoint 2016".
-
Activate CopyMove for all applicable site collections. To activate CopyMove for a single site collection, navigate to Site Collection Administration -> Site collection features and activate the feature labeled SharePoint Products - CopyMove for SharePoint 2016.
- Optionally change default settings from Central Administration -> CopyMove settings.
- Optionally override farm settings from Site Collection Settings -> CopyMove settings.
- Done.
Licensing
This product requires a commercial license from SharePoint Products to work properly in a production environment. For evaluation purposes it does work without installing a license - but is then limited to a maximum of two Web Front-End servers and two unique users for a period of 30 days. After that the product locks and requires the installation of a license file issued by SharePoint Products.
Known Issues
- The product is currently only available in US English, German, French and Spanish. But all UI strings are defined in the file sppcopymove.resx located in the App_GlobalResources folder of each Web Application. Hence, it is possible to create your own UI localization. For instance to create a Dutch localization of the CopyMove UI, make a copy of sppcopymove.resx and rename it to sppcopymove.nl-NL.resx. Then open it in an XML editor and translate all the text inside the <value> tags.
- CopyMove can for technical reasons not move workflow history items.
Troubleshooting
In the event that you experience unexpected behavior or an unexpected error when using CopyMove, please proceed as follows:
- Start by checking our online FAQ to see if there is a solution or work-around available.
- Check the release notes for the most recent version of CopyMove to see if the problem has already been addresses in a newer version.
- If the problem persists and you cannot find a solution on our Web site then contact our Support Team by email.
Please provide the following information when reporting a problem:
- A description of your SharePoint farm including; Number of servers in the farm, SharePoint version (Foundation or Server), Service Pack level, Browser make and version in case of client-side errors.
- The exact version number of CopyMove that causes the problem, e.g. V3.0.0.0
- A description of all the steps required to reproduce the problem. Include any applicable screen shots
- A description of any customizations that you have made to the affected SharePoint document library or list. Include any applicable screen shots
- If the problem appears to be a programmatic bug in CopyMove then we will also need an extract of the SharePoint diagnostics log files. This is easily created by running the script GetLogFile.cmd included in the ZIP download. Attach the resulting SPP.LOG file to your support email.
We will then respond asap, which is usually within 24 hours on work-days.

- CopyMove now enforces missing values on required fields with no default value configured. For example copying documents to another library with required fields not present on the content type in the source library.
- Improved support for configuring CopyMove permissions at a more granular level. It is now possible to configure permissions independently for the Copy, Move, Export and Import actions.
- The Copy and Move actions in the item drop-down menu are now trimmed by the CopyMove permissions for the current user. As a consequence hereof they are no longer visible if CopyMove is not configured to limit usage by permissions on the CopyMove settings page.

- Fixed resource depletion problem when copying/moving a large number of document library folders. Errors seen in the ULS log included "Potentially excessive number of SPRequest objects", "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached."
- Fixed issue where the current site collection was showed twice in the target selection tree.
- Fixed issue where Managed Metadata values were sometimes not migrated properly. This caused the search indexer to fail with the error "Error from SharePoint site: *** Index was outside the bounds of the array."

- Added direct support for My sites in the target selection tree. That is, the My Site of the current user is by default included in the tree. Administrators can turn it of if required.
- Added direct support for Membership sites in the target selection tree. That is, the Membership sites of the current user are by default included in the tree. Administrators can turn this of if required.
- Added new transaction limits for site collection administrators. That is, they can now enjoy higher transaction limits that regular users. Only farm administrators can configure the limits.

The tree will now support up to 5000 sub-folders below one list node or one folder node provided that it can fetch the sub-folders in less than 10 seconds.

- Added new code sample for working with the CopyMove WCF service.
V2.0.0.266 (BETA2) - 2011-04-08

The local deployment prevents a possible error where SharePoint cannot find the assembly SharePointProducts.Platform.dll in a feature callout.
- Fixed issue where DateTime fields in document libraries were offset by the time difference to UTC time when copying/moving Microsoft Office 2007/2010 documents.
- Replaced proprietary diagnostics logging with logging to the SharePoint diagnostics log (ULS). This includes a PowerShell script GetLogFile.ps1 that can be used to extract recent CopyMove related events from all servers in the farm.

- Fixed the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object", which could occur when copying or moving a document.
- Fixed the error "Unable to update the information in the document", which could occur when copying or moving Microsoft Office documents. It is really a SharePoint problem as it also fails when you try to update the Metadata of the document. CopyMove now implements a work-around for this issue.
- Improved result warnings. CopyMove now collects warnings during copy and move operations and displays them to the user when the transaction has completed. This is warnings like CopyMove being unable to update the Metadata of a document or being unable to import Web Parts on a Web Part page.
