Where can I find instructions on how to sync current forms in an InfoPath library with DBXL to enable querying with the QueryDocumentsNodeSet method?

Hello tenbao,

Which version of SharePoint are you using? If you're in 2013 you can use the event receiver to sync your forms to DBXL. If you're in 2010, you could do a bulk upload/migration to dbxl and then reupload to SharePoint so that all your XML would hve the DBXL pi and DocID's.

Let me know and I can get more details.

Thanks!
Bre

We're on 2010

Hello, any updates?

Hi Tenbao,

As Bre has mentioned, you could use DBXL Document Deployer (also known as the Migration Tool). Here is the Document Deployer User Guide and DBXL Migration Tool (Document Deployer) v2.8.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Can you confirm the below are the correct steps or if there is a easier/better way? 1. Export all docs using Document Deployer 2. Delete all XML infopath files from InfoPath Library 3. Create Document Type in DAT 4. Using Document Deployer, import all previously exported docs

Can someone confirm the above?

Hello Tenbao,

I would not recommend deleting from your SharePoint Library. I would replace files after the upload to DBXL.

Hope that helps,
Bre

Thanks. I updated the XSN template to submit to DBXL instead of the SharePoint library and uploaded to DBXL through the DAT tool. Next I copied the XML files from the SharePoint Library and then uploaded via the DBXL Migration Tool. That was successful. But this creates duplicate files with the DBXL DocID number as the filename in the SharePoint Library. How do I force the uploads to use the original file name?
