The parts of the CSOM for updating Taxonomy fields are really cumbersome. I mean, look at this code, nicely provided by Vadim Gremyshev (@vgrem). To set a value in a taxonomy field we have to assemble a text representation, and adding a “fake” lookup id. What is needed is a wrapper for handling Taxonomy fields. SPMeta2 and PnP don’t seem to have it yet. Another issue that I have struggled with today was the missing Microsoft.

First we have to create a class for our timer job which inherits SPTimerJobDefinition, build it and deploy it. public class TakanaTimer : SPJobDefinition { public TakanaTimer(){} public TakanaTimer(string jobName, SPService service, SPServer server, SPJobLockType targetType) : base(jobName, service, server, targetType) { } public TakanaTimer(string jobName, SPWebApplication webapp) : base(jobName, webapp, null, SPJobLockType.ContentDatabase) { Title = jobName; } public override void Execute(Guid contentDbId) { Log.Info("Running Takana Timer"); } } There is a powershell example for this, but it has not been updated since MOSS.
