Document ID Service With Syndicated Content Types


Document ID Service across multiple site collections with Syndicated Content Types.

I was working on a project with a large number of site collections and content types; one requirement was to assign a Document ID to each document. After having a lot of trouble figuring out which jobs to run and in what order for Document ID’s to work on Syndicated content types, I decided to test with two site collections on different Web Applications. I set one as the Content Type Syndication Hub and the other as the Syndicated site.

How activate the Document ID service across multiple site collections with Syndicated Content Types.
1.       Activate the Content Type Syndication Hub feature on the Hub site.
2.       Activate the Document Id Service on the Hub site.
3.       Run the Content Type Hub Job.
4.       Run the Content Type Subscriber Job.
On the Subscriber site collections
1.       Activate the Document Id Service feature.
2.       Run the Document Enable/Disable Job.
3.       Run Content Type Subscriber Job
4.       Go to Document Id settings and check the box to “Assign Document IDs”
5.       Run the Document Assignment Job.
All document should now get assigned a document id.
