That is driving me batty.

I am transferring a big amount of recordsdata (paperwork – .doc, .pdf, .xls) from one subsite to a different in Sharepoint 2013. Since we wish to protect the metadata, I am doing so through Web site Contents and Construction (checking recordsdata and choosing Actions > Transfer). It runs easily for some time, then I begin getting this error. Typically merely reloading or making an attempt once more will work, typically I’ve to sign off or clear my cache, typically switching browsers, typically simply transferring on to a special folder.. till ultimately I get the error each time. But when I wait a number of hours, it should begin working once more. Each time I believe I’ve discovered what’s inflicting the error (file measurement too giant, vacation spot folder too full, one thing in my cache…), one thing occurs to toss that concept out the window. I’ve googled extensively and never discovered something helpful. Please assist.

Regardless of being inconsistently triggered, the error itself is similar every time.

The present operation couldn’t be accomplished. Attempt once more, or contact your system administrator.

Object reference not set to an occasion of an object.

Chances are you’ll re-try the operation, and chances are you’ll want to scrub up the half-created information first earlier than re-trying. If the issue persists, please contact your system administrator.
