Hi All, I am facing a tricky situation in my SharePoint farm. We have a SQL 2012 Standard Edition (not the SP1) and SharePoint 2013 farm running. we have created an excel file with power pivot charts along with the slicers. I uploaded it to the document library in SharePoint and then I created a site page, in that site page I inserted a excel web access web part and i am trying to refer it to the excel file chart which is having slicer. I am getting an error saying "The WorkBook Cannot be opened".

I had to a doubt if this is bcoz of the slicer. I then removed the slicer from the PowerPivot Excel chart and then uploaded the excel file on to sharepoint and tried to open it through the excel web service web part. this time it worked. the only difference was , this time I removed the slicer. can any body help me to know as to what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance.!

 

Distributed Cache and Query Processing

$

We are planning for a three-tier farm with 2 WFE's and 2 Application servers and one DB server for SP 2013. One of the application servers with admin, analytical, crawl and content processing components and not able to decide where to have the query and index components on! Is it best to have them on the WFE's or on the other application server??

Is it good to have query processing component tied to WFE's in SP 2013? I heard as the Distributed cache will be on the WFE's it's better not to install query components on them.

Thanks in advance.

SP2013 - Date Filter Web Part looses connection when used in a site template

$

Hi,

I created two table reports in SQL Reporting Services 2012 and inserted in a web page using the Reporting Service Report viewer in SharePoint 2013 with CU Dez 2013. The two reports require two dates and I use two date filter web parts (I did not try the date range solution I saw in the fórum).

So the user inputs the two dates in date filters that send the information to thereports in the same page.

They work in the site and I saved it as template. However when I create e new site using it as a templates, the date filter connections are broken and of course, they did not work.

For another report where I usea text filter, it worked without any problem in the template.

Does anybody know any workaround?

Thank you.

Public Facing Website using SharePoint

Hi All,

We have a migrated SP2010 environment (with following infrastructure: Widows Server 2008 R2 SP2010 (Enterprise) WFE server, SP2010 Index server and SQL 2012 Server) to SP2013 new environment (with following infrastructure: Widows Server 2012 SP2013 (Enterprise) WFE server, SP2013 Index server and SQL 2012 Server, Office Web Apps 2013 server).   Currently we have SP2013 intranet for our company and planning to have SP2013 Internet facing website. The company already has a public site and domain but not using SP2013.  The management wants to leverage SP2013 as public facing site.  

The company has already purchased SP2013 themes. I have extended the current company intranet (port 80) to Internet zone with anonymous access and port number 81. 

An IIS site is created with same content database as Intranet. This is crucial for us managers will be updating lists and pages both for intranet and public facing Internet site & do not want to make extra effort to make pages duplicate for Internet . Other confidential pages/lists would be only for SP2013 intranet users. I am able to get port 81 Internet zone with Sign In page.

I have a couple of questions:

  1.       Is extending the web application for port 80 and Internet facing website using same content database (business requirement) best option?
  2.       The internet portal is using team site template with publishing features enabled. While Internet site has exactly same team template as intranet portal. Is it possible to have Publishing template for the Internet facing website? I found some TechNet articles regardingSharePoint Web Application using same port published via single trunk. Am I going in correct direction?  
  3.    Is UAG 2010 separate product to be installed besides SP2013? 

Thank you.

Hi,

can anyone give me a hint how to show additional information for the selections of a dropdown. Showing only the values is insufficient for the users in many cases, so I want to add some more information (other columns of thee same table) but it does't seem to be possible ootb.

Creating a calculated field as a comibnation of the required fields doesn't work as this would also change the value written to the field. Actually I' missing 2 properties like "displayValue" and "selectedValue".

Appreciating any help!

Hey,

I have setup a workflow manager farm with 2 servers. I call the sitehttps://wfm.fabrikam.com:12290/ from each server in the domain and it will come a windows login screen. Is this login screen right? When I fill in the credentials from a administrator (SharePoint ord WFM) its works fine and when in fill in the credentials from a normal user it shows the forbidden page. Is this right?

I only looked on to the wfm site with the user credentials.

Thanks for help

SIte Migration fromSharepoint 2010 to Sharepoint 2013

We are planning site migration from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. The site collection in SP2010 is a root site when it was created (not managed path). We will test the content database for SP2013 compatibility and attach it to a staging web application to convert it to SP2013., detach from Staging Web App once database upgrade is complete. Anything I need to do when attaching it to a Site collection in a Host named site collection (HNSC) ?  I believe there are PowerShell commands that will allow me to drop the temporary content database for the site collection (in HNSC) and attach the migrating content database. (Can someone point me to the PowerShell commands for replacing content database for HNSC based Site Collections). Any issues due to the fact that the database was for a root site collection in SharePoint 2010 ?

Thanks

Error msg in 'Status Message' of edit my profile on mysites

$

I have a SharePoint 2013 farm in which we are using 'My Sites'.  I have noticed that if a user has not posted a newsfeed item recently then his Status Message is not blank but has a guid such as 5E9079CA-7072-4E9D-9846-30FE8743FE6B.  I have several test farms and they show the same guid.  If I post a newsfeed item that item then shows in the Status Message area.  If I delete that item the guid reappears.  To be clear this is the status message that is showing under About me not in the people I am following list. The people I am following works correctly, in that if the status message is empty nothing shows.

Has anyone seen this behavior?  I know that I can remove the 'Status Message' from the about me area, which is what I am most likely going to have to do.

Host Header Site Collection and Web App Setup - Thoughts

$
0
0

I am trying to understand relation between AAM and web app extension .Please share your expert opinion. I have not seen any TechNet article talking about it clearly.

Here it goes: in 2010 it was recommended Not to use AAM with IIS bindings without extending the web application. This was mentioned in several TechNet articles also its  a known “Mistake #4” on TechNet articles.

So question is, is that still the same case in 2013?

Most of the times it is recommended to remove web app host header from IIS if you are using this web app for HHSC, otherwise sites will not be accessible. I have find no issues by leaving web app host header and adding more bindings for host header site collections any thoughts on this ?

Thanks. 

Sharepoint 2010 to 2013 Upgrade - Cannot Access with SPDesigner

$
0

I setup a new SharePoint 2013 farm, host-named sites under a single web application, claims authentication, everything was running pretty smooth.

I have a need to move over an exisiting SharePoint 2010 setup and incorporating it into the 2013 farm.

I created a new web application, completed the database-attach upgrade (It does say the upgrade failed because of a missing feature, but the status says 100% completed. I did run the Test-SPContentDatabase and this same issue came up but no others. This feature is installed on the 2013 farm but only available in the 2013 environment, not the 2010, so I think this may be why this occurred? I have disabled the feature for now to continue testing this upgrade.). After the upgrade, I am able to login to the site and access most of the content (I have a couple InfoPath forms that I need to update, so I cannot currently access any of those xml files.)

BUT - my current issue - I cannot access the upgraded site with SharePoint designer - It comes back with a 'The server could not complete your request'. I click on details and the box is blank. This message just keeps coming up, I have to end the SPDesigner process in taskmgr to get out of it. I reviewed the SharePoint logs - nothing seems to stand out. I am sure it is in there, just not sure where to start. I am able access all the other sites on the other exisiting web application with SPDesigner no problem. I have browsed through pages of topics on here and can't seem to figure out where to start.

Is there a log configuration setting I could set to figure out what happened? Or something I should search for in the log to know when SPDesigner is trying to connect? Could it be that feature is still causing trouble? Or the InfoPath forms (they are all no-code forms so none need the elevated access)? Or something else to look into? Any help would be appreciated!
