Managing Multiple Site Collections
-
Hi, My requirement states that I have multiple sites collections and a Document Library under each site collection. This Library would be named based on the year and quarter (considering 4 quarters per year). I need to enforce a expiration policy on the libraries so that the library content gets deleted after 7 years. Also, I need to rename the Library dynamically after 7 years. (a) What is the most efficient way to apply the expiration policy across the site collections and its libraries? (b) After the Library content is cleared out, I need to rename the Library (as per current year/qtr). How do I perform this? I'm new to Sharepoint technology. Kindly provide me any pointers on the above requirement. Appreciate your time and effort. Thanks Arut

You're probably going to want to build a feature. I'm not aware of any built in sharepoint functionality to do this. You're also probably going to need to make sharepoint api calls. What kind of environment do you have setup to develop sharepoint in?

Could you provide me few more pointer on the feature you have mentioned? I was looking for something from the perspective of customizing the Retention & Expiration policy over multiple site collections. But, if there is some other better way to develop the requirement, then would prefer to go for it. My Dev environment details -> WSS3.0, MOSS, WF, .Net 2.0 framework, OS - Windows Server 2003 Thanks for your time and effort.

I'm not that familiar with the inner workings of sharepoint to point you directly to something other than the API and feature development as a way to bundle the functionality. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms460318.aspx[^] You're going to have to do some searching and get some tutorials or a book on sharepoint development. Sharepoint development isn't like regular development. You might want to look at workflows and using the sharepoint designer tool to create them. Sharepoint Designer is the primary customization tool MS provides for free.
