SP2013 to SP210 - Content Deployment Error

Hi guys,

I have a quick question regarding Content Deployment from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013.

I've succefully migrated our Dev Farm which includes an App Tier, and WFE Tier from SharePoint 2010 to 2013. The migration has succeeded according to our plan. The current Site Collection is still in SharePoint 2010 mode as when the site is upgraded it breaks as expected and no pages are displayed, so I have kept the migrated site as 2010 mode for now.

We publish from our dev farm to a public farm in the DMZ which is live on the Internet. The version of the Farm within the DMZ is SharePoint 2010.

When I attempt to push a Content Deployment Job from Dev to Live the below error appears. Am I missing something? Do

Error:
Content deployment job 'Remote import job for job with sourceID = 9f053efd-1e9a-478c-bd92-126910849d27': Import in progressThe exception thrown was 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException' : '
The version of the package 15.0.0.0 is different from the current version this program supports, 14.0.0.0.'

Not understanding the error fully it seems a version issue? Do I need to migrate the DMZ farm to SP2013 also? Can SP2013 deploy to SP210?

Much appreciated in advance

View containing custom column works in SharePoint 2010 but crashes webpart in SharePoint 2013

≫ Next: Sorry, you dont have access to this page when creating a subsite

≪ Previous: Export data from forms created in infopath 2013 to excel 2013

First off.. I am using SP FOUNDATION. Secondly, I'm linking a contact library from a parent site to a view on a sub site. This works in SP 2010 but when I tried to duplicate it in our new SP 2013 site, it doesn't.

Reproduce steps to add Parent Contact Picks to Blog Sub-Site in SP 2010 (Foundation)

In parent site, create a contact list (add some people)
In parent site à Site Settingsà Site Columns … create a new Column of type “Lookup”. Set the Information Source to the Contact List in step 1 with its Column = “Last Name (linked to item)”
Create a BLOG sub site
BlogSite à Site Settingsà Site Libraries and Listsà Posts à Add from existing site columns …. Select the Lookup column you created in step 2.
BlogSite à Site Settingsà Site Libraries and Listsà Posts à Create View à Standard View….Create a new view and select ONLY the lookup column from step 4.
Add a new Blog post and while in the ‘New-Item’ form, make sure to select a person from the Contact list.
Open up the details page of the new post so that only the single post shows. Edit the Page and Insert a New Web Partà Lists and Libraries à Posts.
Edit the newly added web part and change its view to the one created above in step 5.
Drop the down arrow to the right of the newly added web part’s title and select Connections à Get Filtered values Fromà Post [1] (or whatever the default Post Web part is called). Set both the “Provider” and the “Consumer” field names to “ID”.

You will now see that whenever you open the “Details” page of any blog post, you will see the Main post (aka the original form), the normal “Add Comment” entry web part, AND the new web part that show the Contact selection specific to that single post. Clicking on the Name of the contact will actually pop up the details from the parent site.

SharePoint 2013 (Foundation)

Now perform the exact same steps in SharePoint 2013. However you’ll notice that Step 8 above appears to work but as soon as you try and edit that web part again or move on to step 9, the newly added web part states “Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem….. Correlation ID: 52d36c9c-e7a2-509e-1d60-3df1ce53ce2d”.

In doing some testing, if I adjust step # 5 as to NOT select the new linked column.. it works. Oddly however, the new view works when are you just using the view by itself (/site/lists/Posts/NewViewname.aspx).

We have SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and I am trying to give an end user the ability to create a subsite within her departmental site. I gave her user designer permissions and she now has the "new susbsite" option and can go through the process. But when she clicks on Create it opens an new window that says "Sorry, you don't have access to this page when creating a subsite".

I even made a group with the create subsites permissions and added her to it but its not working. Giving her full control doesn't make a difference either. It seems that with SharePoint 2013 the users, groups, permissions and so on are spread all over the place and its not easy to configure. I'm pretty new to it as well so that may be the case.

I made a test user and added it to the Site Collection Administrators and that allowed me to create a new subsite with the user but obviously I don't want to add her to this group. So what am I missing?

There was a problem retrieving data for this field. Updating values in this field is disabled temporarily. You can still update values in other fields.

All the solutions for this error that I have been able to find are not working, but they are for when the managed metadata service is inaccessible, or the fields cannot be updated in Central Admin either. I've recreated both the User Profile service and the Managed Metadata service. Any ideas?

≪ Previous: My Sites "Updating values in this field is disabled temporarily"

Hi,

We have been asked to install SharePoint on a different drive (from C: where the client's OS resides).

(It is our understanding) and we have also gone through many articles on the net (please see below) which suggest that the 15 Hive location is always created on the boot drive by SharePoint and that we can't change it, however, we can always specify a different location for SharePoint logs and Search Index files.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/43c08b1a-aefd-42e8-981d-3a055421af99/sharepoint-2013-change-15-hive-location-to-other-storage?forum=sharepointadmin

However, in the article below from Microsoft, there is a note put which mentions "As a best practice, we recommend that you install SharePoint 2013 on a non-system drive."

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee805948.aspx

Please could anyone advise if MS actually mean that the location of the 15 Hive can be changed by simply providing a different file location during the SharePoint installation, or does the suggestion refer to storing log/search index files on a non-system drive.

(We will be testing the installation soon on a test VM to check this, however, might be quicker to ask).

Many thanks & kind regards,

Puneet

SP 2013 - Database Recovery Mode When Using SQL Server Mirroring

January 22, 2014, 12:13 pm

≫ Next: Workflow Manager 1.0 Cumulative Update 1 installation finishes but not installed

≪ Previous: Library alerts dont reflect changes from all users

Hello Community,

Our DBA is configuring a High Availability Architecture for our SharePoint 2013 Farm. Essentially he is using SQL Server Database mirroring with a clustered automatic failover using a witness server. He has informed me that mirroring requires that the databases are set to Full Recovery Mode, but that several of the databases are set to Simple Recovery Mode, the databases are the following:

SearchService_DB
SearchService_DB_CrawlStore
SearchService_DB_AnalyticsReportingStore
SearchService_DB_LinksStore
WSS_UsageApplication
User_Profile_DB
User_Sync_DB
User_Social_DB

However, when I checked the following article - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc678868.aspx - I see that Simple Recovery Mode is the default configuration for these databases. So, finally, here is my question - will it be detrimental to these databases to set them to the Full Recovery Mode?

Thanks!
