Data Connections

Hi,

1. Please check if your Server is having enough Space.
2. Check if SharePoint is behaving properly. For example, try uploading a sample .udcx. to the Library and check if it's getting uploaded. If you have space issues, or an issue related to SharePoint, it will throw you the precise exception.
3. If none of the above is true, try checking the SharePoint Logs in 12 hive and also your Event Viewer.

Hope this helps. :)

You might tru dropping the FT15_Login.udcx from the URL you're putting into the dialog. This is very odd if you're using the same server. Is your dev box the same also or different? Maybe it has to do with a security issue whereby the server isn't accessible.

Convert Data Connection

I created a data connection to a web service and tested it successfully, now I want to convert it to a UDC in a DCL under OFS. I created the DCL and followed the directions athttp://ddydevvm01:35725/sites/InfoPath%20Site%20Collection/InfoPath%20Site%20Collection%20DCL/Forms/AllItems.aspx
on "How to: Create and Use a Data Connection Library". The problem is that when I select my data connection (I'm using VS2005 to do this, by the way) and click "convert", it displays the "Convert Data Connection" dialog which won't accept my URL for the new data connection file. I copied the path from the DCL and replaced the "Forms/AllItems.aspx" at the end with the name of the file I want to create, as per the article above, but I get a message saying, "The specified location does not exist or could not be opened. Choose a data connection library on a server running Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and specify a valid filename." I actually did this successfully a week ago with a different data connection and using the same DCL, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I used the "relative" option for both. Any ideas?

For what it's worth, here is what I'm entering in the "Convert Data Connection" dialog:
http://servervm01:35725/sites/InfoPath%20Site%20Collection/InfoPath%20Site%20Collection%20DCL/FT15_Login.udcx

P.S. By the way, when I converted a data source successfully last week, the <xsf2:connectoid> element that was created in the manifest.xsf file had a few extra characters in the middle of the source attribute that I had to remove before it would work.
