    Hello,

    During this process:

    - Restore all Databases with Tivoli
    - Create a Web Application in Sharepoint for each databases to be restored
    - Remove Content Database WSS_xxxx
    - Add Content Database by changing the name WSS_xxxx by the datbase restored.

    It works on 13 databases so far...
    Two sites do not get their site collection populated !!!
    All idea are welcome,

    Thanks,

    hi Felyjos ,

    If you Empty rows for query on sites table , then that DB does not have a Active collection & hence it does not come up in SharePoint . You can do 2 things

    1. Run Get-spdeletedSite & see if this  Site collection is still listed ? , If yes  Then ran restore-Spdeletedsite –id ‘GUID of teh Site collection ’ which should restore it ..

    OR

    2. Restore the DB again  which would have  the site collection , Confirm by

    use [WSS_Content_HelpdeskProd]
    Select * from sites (nolock )

    & Then Attch that Database by Mount-spcontentdatabase , which would take care of the upgrade as well .

    Regards

    Rajan

    hi Felyjos,

    1.  Does these Site collections use custom Managed path , if yes Has that been configured  to the Web-application  settings .

    2. Go to Central Admin > Application Management > View All site Collections , Select the Web-application having problem , Do you see the Site collection listed there ?

    2. Query the Sites table of the 2 problem content databases  to see  if the site ID exist in them , from SQL mgmt. studio

    use [ContentDB]

    Select * from sites (nolock )

    This Should List the ID of the Site if they are present .  

    If they show up , Then Remove & add the content DB from the Web-application   & see if this helps

    Hello Rajan,

    1. I am not sure to understand this... where should I look in Production for custom managed path?

    Web Application List > Application > Define Managed Paths

    root explicit inclusion

    sites Wildcard inclusion

    they exist on the server Production(origin) and Test (Destination)

    2. I do not see a View All site collections option?

    Per Web Application I have most of them showing Site Collections.

    but under Central Administration > Application Management > Site Collection List  

    there is no site collection

    3. 

    use [WSS_Content_HelpdeskProd]
Select * from sites (nolock )

    <<Empty>> for both databases...

    Thanks,

    Dom
