Error in MOSS 2007 Record Center Site : "The Record Center is not properly configured for this request"

I have received the error message when i try to push a document from a MOSS site collection to the record center of the server farm.

"The Record Center is not properly configured for this request."

After a hell lot of investigations, i have found that the URL used for configuring the record center in the server farm was wrong.

It should be like
http://< Site DNS or Server Name >/<Record Center Site Name >/_vti_bin/officialfile.asmx

Best practice for building SharePoint Solutions

For any SharePoint solution project, I stongly recommend prototyping before writing the complete code. We have been successfull with our prototyping approach. Prototyping helps us to get the user feedback and gives room for more successful delivery of the solution to meet the business requirement.

If we are not able to achieve some functionalities out of the box in SharePoint, we can go for customization using ASP.net code or third party components.
