Hello,

In a document library, some items should be links to list items.

Is this possible?

The problem is that, in a document library the user either enters the document or should enter a link to an item (that has many documents).

Title

Databases require upgrade or not supported.

Severity

1 - Error

Category

Configuration

Explanation

The following databases require upgrade because their versions are older than the backwards compatible range:
Dev_WSS_Content.

Remedy

Use Upgrade-SPContentDatabase to upgrade Content databases, or psconfig.exe to upgrade other databases. If some databases are too new, check the Patch Status page to find out if the current server are missing SharePoint software patches. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142697".

Problem with ULS logging

$

Hi All,

We're currently testing SharePoint 2013 and aim to upgrade to it from 2010 fairly soon.

We have configured the diagnostic settings to only log the Unexpected events to the trace log, which is how we have it setup in 2010. However we are noticing that our trace logs are getting big very quickly and are filled with trace events that are lower then Unexpected, eg High and Medium. We also notice the vast majority of the events have [Forced due to logging gap...] in them and their original level can be as low as Verbose.

Does anyone have this same issue and is there a way to force the ULS trace logs to behave as they did in 2010; ie as they are configured to do so in Central Admin. Short of disabling the tracing service I'm at a loss. We don't really want to go live with this state as currently each page request results in the log file growing.

Any help on this would be much appreciated,

Andrew

EDIT: We've done a bit more testing and even setting all the categories in Central Admin to None still produces a lot of trace logs, which is completely unexpected from our point of view.
We've also noticed that we get a lot of entries like this:

07/24/2013 16:37:28.56  w3wp.exe (0x2204)                        0x0DAC SharePoint Foundation         Micro Trace                    uls4 Medium   Micro Trace Tags: (none)

I cannot find anything on the internet about Micro Trace at all. I've double checked the settings for this category in Central Admin and its trace level is set to None.

HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

 One of my Web Application in SharePoint 2013 shows error

"HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable"

I checked in IIS Application pool and Start the respective service but the error still persist 

Thanks In Advance

How to move Custom User Profile properties from one farm to another?

$

Hi all!

We have 2 farms (one used for dev and one used for UAT) and we would like to move User Profile information from the Dev to the UAT (to simulate a real-life environment ex. having 2 geographically located different farms).

We are using some custom user profile properties and I'm concerned how to also move this to the other farm?

Also, what is usually the best practice when moving User Profiles from one farm to another?

I saw that the User Profile Replication Engine (UPRE) can be used, but is it possible to replicate the DBs themselves (or is it the better practice)?

Thank you!

Office Web Apps 2013 certificate & farm

$
0
0

I want to build a 2-node OWA13 farm but have some questions i can't find answer on technet if this works and what certificate should be.

I have a domain name contoso.local
I have 2 OWA13 servers
- owaserver1.contoso.local
- owaserver2.contoso.local

First I need to create dns domain zone in AD "contoso.com"
Then I register an A-host record for the OWA13 farm "wasfarm.contoso.com" (internal and external) that point to the IP of the Network Load Balancer.

I then create a OWA13 farm on the owaserver1 with PS command:

  • New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL https://wasfarm.contoso.com -ExternalURL https://wasfarm.contoso.com -CertificateName WacFarm

Question 1) can a OWA13 farm be created with internal url that is the NLB dns name for the 2 OWA13 servers?
Question 2) can i use a wildcard certificate ?
Question 3) if no wildcard certificate can be used which SAN should be on the SAN certificate (we want a public CA cert so contoso.local cannot be on the certificate right? should i then also create A-host record owaserver1.contos.COM and owaserver2.contoso.COM ? or don't we need servernames in the SAN certificate ? )

Now i want to join owaserver2 to the OWA farm with following PS command:

  • New-OfficeWebAppsMachine -MachineToJoin wacfarm.contoso.com

Question 4) can i join owaserver2 to the farm with the above command and point to the NLB dns name for the OWA13 farm or do i specifically need to give owaserver1 after -machinejoin and not the nlb dns name?

thanks for you time and hopefully answers :-)

SharePoint 2013 - Issue with Apps

$

Hi All,

I have just encountered a very frustrating issue;

As random as it could possibly happen, this morning all of our installed SharePoint Store apps have broken.

They still display correctly through their web\app parts, but the moment the header is clicked, we receive the following error;

Sorry, something went wrong

Accessing referenced file https://app-25d238edb9176b.**.com/_catalogs/masterpage/**MasterPage.master from https://app-25d238edb9176b.**.com/ImportantMessages/Pages/Default.aspx?SPHostUrl=https://intranet.**.com.au&SPLanguage=en-AU&SPClientTag=14&SPProductNumber=15.0.4420.1017&SPAppWebUrl=https://app-25d238edb9176b.**.com/ImportantMessages is not allowed because the reference is outside of the App Web.

Entries in the ULS Logs say much the same;

Application error when access /ImportantMessages/Pages/Default.aspx, Error=Accessing referenced file https://app-25d238edb9176b.**.com/_catalogs/masterpage/**MasterPage.master from https://app-25d238edb9176b.**.com/ImportantMessages/Pages/Default.aspx?SPHostUrl=https://intranet.**.com.au&SPLanguage=en-AU&SPClientTag=14&SPProductNumber=15.0.4420.1017&SPAppWebUrl=https://app-25d238edb9176b.**.com/ImportantMessages is not allowed because the reference is outside of the App Web.

I have done the following in an attempt to correct the issue;

  • Re-read through the steps on configuring the app domain
  • Reinstalled the Apps
  • Ran an IISReset

Any help would be much appreciated.

Not able to add site columns to content type through powershell

Hi,

I am planning to create content types and site columns through script.

Some site columns format is Number and some site coumns format is of Managed Metadata

Post creating site columns,I am suppose add those all site columns to content types.

For this I had written script as below

//sitecolumns.csv

fieldname,fieldtype,columngroupname

fieldname1, Managed Metadata, stdcolumngroupname

fieldname2, Managed Metadata, stdcolumngroupname

fieldname3, Number, stdcolumngroupname

fieldname4, Number, stdcolumngroupname

// ContentTypes.csv

contenttypename,contenttypesinherits

contenttype1,Enterprise Wiki Page

contenttype2,Document

contenttype3,Image

//automationscript.ps1

Start-SPAssignment –Global

$web = get-spweb “http://abc.com”                    

foreach($ctypes in $ctypescsv)

{

$ctypeName = $ctypes.contenttypename

##$web.AvailableContentTypes | Select-Object Name

$ctypeParent = $web.availablecontenttypes[$ctypes.contenttypesinherits]

$ctype = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContentType($ctypeParent, $web.contenttypes, $ctypeName)

$ctype.Group = $ctypegroupname

$web.contenttypes.add($ctype)

foreach($scolumns in $sitecolumnscsv)

{

if(($scolumns.fieldtype -eq "Managed Metadata") -and (($ctypes.contenttypename -eq " contenttype1") -or ($ctypes.contenttypename -eq " contenttype2") -or ($ctypes.contenttypename -eq " contenttype3")))

{

#Creating Metadata column

$fieldName = $scolumns.fieldname

#Open the Site + Web

$site = Get-SPSite “http://abc.com”

$web = $site.RootWeb

#Gets a TaxonomySession object

$taxonomy = Get-SPTaxonomySession -Site “http://abc.com”

#Gets the GUID of the MMS Application

$sspId = $taxonomy.TermStores |

    Where-Object {$_.Name -eq “mmsappname”} |

    Select-Object -ExpandProperty Id |

    Select-Object -ExpandProperty Guid

#Gets the GUID of the Term Set

$termSetId = $taxonomy.TermStores.Groups |

    Where-Object {$_.Name -eq “mmsgname”} |

    Select-Object -ExpandProperty TermSets |

    Where-Object {$_.Name -eq “mmstsetname”} |

    Select-Object -ExpandProperty Id |

    Select-Object -ExpandProperty Guid

#Creates a Field

$field = $web.Fields.CreateNewField("TaxonomyFieldType",$fieldName)

$web.fields.add($field)

#Updates with Term Set + SspId

$field = $web.fields.GetField($fieldName)

##$field.TermSetId = $termSetId

$field.SspId =  $sspId

$field.Update()

$fieldLink = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLink($field)

$ctype.fieldlinks.add($fieldLink)

$ctype.update()

}

elseif(($scolumns.fieldtype -eq "Number") -and (($ctypes.contenttypename -eq " contenttype1") -or ($ctypes.contenttypename -eq " contenttype2") -or ($ctypes.contenttypename -eq " contenttype3")))

{

//Add Fields to content type

$web.fields.add($scolumns.fieldname,$scolumns.fieldtype, $false)

$field = $web.fields.getfield($scolumns.fieldname)

$field.Group = $scolumns.fieldname

$fieldLink = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLink($field)

$ctype.fieldlinks.add($fieldLink)

$ctype.update()

}

}

}

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stop-SPAssignment -Global           

 

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#EndRegion

Now after executing the above script,noticed that each site columns is created for 3 times and

At certain cases i.e it is throwing message as ‘Cannot convert argument to SPFieldlinkAdd’

Please let me know if I am making any mistake.

Sudheer

[SP2013 Online] Massive import in SharePoint List

$

Hello,

We have to import 5 million of entries in a SharePoint list. We have SharePoint 2013 online, in an app.

We tried with .csv and C#, but it's not really fast, and the script stops itself after 10 000/20 000 item's creations.

Do you have any idea for those kind of import to be fast and safe ?

Thanks !



Binding SP2013 farm to Office Web Apps server - "The server did not respond"

$

Hi,  I have an SP2013 farm I'm trying to connect to an internal only OWA server.  I have a load balancer to offload SSL to and have been following this doc ff431687#SPHTTPS, but keep getting "Warning: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 1 of 5)."  when using the command "New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName "servername.mydomain.com""

Firewalls on SP Farm and OWA box are disabled.  I can telnet on 80 and 443 from the CA/WFE to OWA OK.

I've already set up the OWA server using:

"New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "https://servername.mydomain.com" -SSLOffloaded -EditingEnabled"

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -iru"

The "Get-OfficeWebAppsHost" command returns my domain in the allowList.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks.
