The file that you selected could not be found

Few Days before, in our project, one of the user faced wierd error message which was never seen by my team. First of all lets focused the whole error message:
"The file that you selected could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name and verify that the location is correct."

When trying to open the sample dashboard in MOSS 2007 Enterprise Report Center site as an user with Read Only rights, we got this error message.
While troubleshooting, we compared two document libraries and reproduced the scenario.
After the excat replication of error message on a new document library,we found out the resolution which is quite simple.

Resolution:-
1. Go to your reports library where the workbooks are stored.
2. On the Settings menu, click Document Library Settings.
3. Under General Settings, click versioning settings.
4. Disable versioning.

I hope the above steps helps you to resolve your issue.
Thanks...

Usage Analysis Processing - Server Out of Memory error

In our company's project, We have Two enviornments Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft office SharePoint Server 2007. Both are classified into 3 stages as Tes, QA and Production. In WSS 3.0 Test enviornment, when we tried to enable Usage Analysis processing, we got an error message :
"Server Out Of MemoryThere is no memory on the server to run your program. Please contact your administrator with this problem."

I can't find anything in the EVENT LOGS on the server that indicate an issue with this.
After doing lots of troubleshooting for more than 2 days, we found out the resolution.You can't believe it but the resolution is very simple and straightforward.

We found out that the application pool account was running under Network Service. We changed it to Domain admin account and after that did IISRESET.

Issue Resolved.
Cheers !

Note:-
The domain account should have the following rights as follows:-
1. It should be present in the WSS_WPG,WSS_ADMIN_WPG and IIS_WPG and Administrator group.
2.It should be present in the SQL SERVER Logins Section.
3. It should have DBCREATOR & SECURITY ADMIN Permissions in the SQL SERVER.

The application pool identity is essentially what the ASP .Net code of the site will be executing as. The user account used here must have the standard rights in order to run an application pool, and must obviously have rights to read and write to the SQL Server databases for the site.

Thanks...

Move, Lock, and Delete Site Collections

Microsoft has recently released an update to the Central Administration site that makes it easy to move a Site Collection between different Content Databases. The Batch Site Manager can be very handy if you need to break up your content across multiple Content Databases – possibly sitting on different SQL Servers.

Batch Site Manager is a feature that is designed to be used by SharePoint farm administrators to manage and administrate bulk operations that involve moving, locking or deleting one or more site collections within a single Web application. To access the Move, Lock, and Delete Multiple Site Collections page, click the Move, Lock, and Delete Site Collections link located on the Application Management page of Central Administration. The same tool also allows you to lock and delete site collections:
