InfoPath Form Server Form Deletion
We have the InfoPath Form Server version of SharePoint v3 running on a single server and we're trying to delete a form from the Manage Form Templates page in Application Management.
When we hover and select Delete it give us a SharePoint error page that says:
An item with the same key has already been added.
I've got no idea what's going on here but, in the past, when we've had trouble with form templates, the template would indicate Deleting and never change and never go away. We could run stsadm.exe -o execsvcjobs and the form would disappear.
This led me to believe it had something to do with some job service but I've never been able to figure out where or how to access any of that. I find the Timer Job Definitions and the Time Job Status but I'be never been able to find anything that would idicate that a job is configured or runs that is intended to delete those form templates.
I got some help from the Yahoo Group that suggested the STSADM commands for forms were a little simpler that using the interface. Those two command would be:
stsadm -o verifyformtemplate -filename "C:MyForm.xsn"
stsadm -o uploadformtemplate -filename C:MyForm.xsn.
So that would be cool except that I was getting the command line error when I tried to enter that value. So I started looking for the STSADM help and I found some STSADM help here but it may be WSS v2.:
Then, our friend Todd related his experience with the OWSTIMER.EXE going crazy. That seems like what I may have been looking at although we've rolled the server back and rebuilt it and the issue has not reappeared.
Now while STSADM might be an option for installing the form, I'm not sure where I get the overwrite, quiesce or extend functionality.
