Managed Metadata Services (MMS) Limitations in SharePoint 2010

I am blogging back after a long long time. Since last 2 years i was very busy in one of the largest migration assignment from DCTM to SharePoint 2010.

We have build one of the largest Record Managment System in SharePoint 2010 history.

So I just wanted to share some of my learnings and findings from some other blogs here.

Managed MetaData is one of the biggest term from SharePoint 2010 for their Record/Document Management system, though there are some limitations associated with the same while using it effectively.

I have found those limitations here.

I just need to move these 20 list items from A to B
Here is the answer to all the questions...

==============API Base Approach=============
Stefan Goßner posted a great series of posts about the Content Migration API (formerly known as PRIME) for SharePoint (WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007). In just 5 post he explains everything about this API and where SharePoint uses it. It's an excellent start point for many SharePoint administrators and developers out there. I also refer to this post in my training's about SharePoint as well.

Insert Data into SharePoint List with Lookup column
