I customized the OOTB web parts in SharePoint 2013 server, I need to move my web parts to another server without taking site backup, I tried Export options it's working fine ,But It's very difficult to add manually, So is it possible to deploy the exported web part programmatically by using scripts. Please suggest some idea?

Any idea bro, While Restoring the Site collection out custom pagelayout not working bro, we need to deploy our page layout solution so its replaced our backup pagelayout

M.Qassas

there is another option to simplify this manually ? but tell me how many web part you have also how many page ?

so I lost the OOTb webparts in that site

M.Qassas

are you applied backup and restore and not move custom page layout ?

Suriyaadevan Balu

I have 5 webparts for 2 pages bro

ya bro I tried, It throws to page not found page, After Restoring the custom page layout Its working fine

I took backup then I restored to another server, while accessing that page it's redirects to pagenot found page bro

M.Qassas

are you tried to use the content database upgrade ?

Suriyaadevan Balu

No bro

M.Qassas

this should solve this issue , but no problem , let me tell you two solution for this

but let's review your steps

you run the backup cmd at source farm

then restore it at the new farm right

Suriyaadevan Balu

10:23 PM

ya bro your right

M.Qassas

then when you try to open page it give you page not found

so are you use any custom developed solution

are all web web part's is out of the box

Suriyaadevan Balu

I have custom visual studio page layout bro

M.Qassas

are you deployed this wsp at the destination farm

Suriyaadevan Balu

while accessing to that page ,It's redirect to that not found page

ya bro I deployed after restoriation the backup

M.Qassas

and still you have this issue ?

Suriyaadevan Balu

10:26 PM

No bro I have not that issue, but I lost the out box box web parts, Because my custom page layout replaced the backup page layout

*now

M.Qassas

okay

so you now try to export it from source page the upload it and add to destination page and find difficulty on this , right

Suriyaadevan Balu

ya bro your right

M.Qassas

are you uploaded the exported webpart to web part gallary at once

or you tried to upload it when add web part one by one

Suriyaadevan Balu

No bro, I tried by adding one by one

M.Qassas

it's not best practice , let me send to you the link yto upload all exported web part and set them to new category so you can easily add it without more hard programing or power shell work

Suriyaadevan Balu

10:31 PM

oh okay Thanks

M.Qassas

got to your root site and site setting > below web designer gallary selet web parts

so you should get this link

epm/_catalogs/wp/Forms/AllItems.aspx

upload all web parts and define to then a specific group as exported web part

Suriyaadevan Balu

I can't access this link bro

M.Qassas

now if you tried to add web part you will find a category with the specified name and you can add them easily as any web part

forget the link and follow the steps that i mentioned , this link related to my environment

go to your root site and site setting > below web designer gallery select web parts

Suriyaadevan Balu

okay bro, I will do

ya bro I went

Step2 pls

M.Qassas

from the above ribbon upload all exported web parts and set a specific group as for example exported web part

Suriyaadevan Balu

10:40 PM

okay bro sure

FYI -By clicking the Upload document button I uploaded the webparts and choose the group for own value Ex EXported

M.Qassas

Suriyaadevan Balu

Cool

M.Qassas

go to now to your page ,

add new web part and check this category name

Suriyaadevan Balu

ya bro we found that

M.Qassas

now the category is exist for all pages with all exported list and no need to upload it one by one , so you can add it easily at any place that you need

and at any page

Suriyaadevan Balu

10:47 PM

we found all the web parts in our category

M.Qassas

are you face any difficulty now like before ?

i think in your case you have 5 web part and 2 page so the time needed to run script or develop a solution is long than to do this :)

Suriyaadevan Balu

Now it's great bro. Thanks lot, but we have requirement to add this as automatically bro

M.Qassas

:D

Suriyaadevan Balu

Cool, Thank you so much bro ,If you have any concern means pls let me know

M.Qassas

why you don't tell me this first my bro :) , no problem , but i would like to inform you that pnp powershell can be worked with on-prem also but really i don't remember the cmdlet now let me check it , but should ask this conversation query as a question to answer it and reward me :)
