Hi,
I have a SharePoint list which has having more than 10 folder and many sub folder in side each folder.
Again each have subfolders and document. Most of the documents are checked out.
Now i need to check in all the checked out files its big task for me to going to each document and checkin and it will takes me days.
I was searching for any other alternatives, so using content structure i can check in multiple documents at a time but i can do it at folder level. Again it will takes more time to check in all the files.
Now, again started searching for another alternative and came up with powershell script.
I got the script and am sharing that script.
*****************************Start of Script **********************************
[system.reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.Sharepoint")
$root = $site.allwebs[0]
$folder = $root.GetFolder("Shared Documents")
#============================================================
# Function Set-CheckInFolderItems is a recursive function
# that will CheckIn all items in a list recursively
#============================================================
function
Set-CheckInFolderItems([Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFolder]$folder)
{
# Create query object
$query = New-Object
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$query.Folder = $folder
# Get SPWeb object
$web = $folder.ParentWeb
# Get SPList
$list = $web.Lists[$folder.ParentListId]
# Get a collection of items in the specified
$folder
$itemCollection = $list.GetItems($query)
# If the folder is the root of the list,
display information
if ($folder.ParentListID -ne
$folder.ParentFolder.ParentListID)
{
Write-Host("Recursively checking in all files in " + $folder.Name)
}
# Iterate through each item in the $folder
foreach ($item in $itemCollection)
{
# If the item is a
folder
if ($item.Folder -ne
$null)
{
# Write the Subfolder information
Write-Host("Folder: " + $item.Name + " Parent Folder: " +
$folder.Name)
# Call the Get-Items function recursively for the found sub-solder
Set-CheckInFolderItems $item.Folder
}
# If the item is not
a folder
if ($item.Folder -eq
$null)
{
if ($item.File.CheckOutType -ne "None")
{
if ($item.File.Versions.Count -eq 0)
{
# Check in the file
Write-Host "Check in File: "$item.Name" Version
count " $item.File.Versions.Count -foregroundcolor Green
$item.File.CheckIn("Bulk check in By Administrator")
}
}
}
}
$web.dispose()
$web = $null
}
Set-CheckInFolderItems $folder
