Here's the situation:

• Upgrading a SharePoint Server 2010 Search Service Application dB to our SharePoint 2013 SP 1 development environment, using the Management Shell
• Running the following commands: 

$applicationPool= Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity 'SearchService_AppPool'

$searchInst = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -local

Restore-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Name 'SearchServiceApplication' -applicationpool $applicationPool -databasename 'SearchServiceApplicationDB' -databaseserver SERVERNAME -AdminSearchServiceInstance $searchInst

• Creates the search dBs (crawl, links, analytics) successfully; however, in the end, I get....
• "Exception: Action 15.0.107.0 of Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Upgrade.SearchAdminDatabaseSequence failed."

Looking at the ULS logs, I find the following:

Inner Exception: An item with the same key has already been added.
at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add)     at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.OOTBSchemaDefinition.FindAndFixExistingManagedProperties()     at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.OOTBSchemaDefinition.InstallManagedProperties(Boolean upgrade)     at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.OOTBSchemaDefinition.Upgrade()     at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Upgrade.UpdateAllOOTBProperties.Upgrade()     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPActionSequence.Upgrade()

Anyone encounter anything like this during their search upgrade process? I'm not honestly even sure what duplicate value to look for at this point, if I were to run a SELECT Id, ClassId, ParentId, Name, Status, Version, Properties FROM Objects on"SharePoint_Config" in SSMS. Any insight or opinions on the matter are welcome; and thanks to those who choose to reply to this, in advance.

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would add another "Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available" thread to this forum. 

It appears after following several articles I still cannot get manage my Managed Metadata Service from Central Admin.  I get the below error message.

I also see this in my ULS logs:

One of the articles I found had several steps, however non worked for me.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/allenwang/archive/2011/03/22/the-managed-metadata-or-connection-is-currently-not-available.aspx

Finially I simply deleted my Metadata Services Application and App Pool from IIS, re-created it and restarted IIS but still getting the same error message.

Only thing I didn't do is delete the database which I don't think I want to do.

Anything else I can try?

Thanks,

Save site as template is depecated in SP2013, but we enabled it from Sharepoint designer, yet we are facing issue.

When trying to save site as template of PROD site, it is throwing error.

PROD site is hosted in BPOS environment hence we do not have access in it.

Need your help to create a new dev environment replicating PROD, please suggest the best options.

Hi,

When I try to create a new document in a list or library, the list columns that I have added don't appear on the upload window. It asks to only create a document.

What about the list columns I created? Do I have to fill the values for them after an item is uploaded? This was not the case in 2010. I could also fill the values for all the list column while uploading a new list item.

any advice please ?

thanks.

I seem to be having an issue with the times changing on their own when I try to set up a Maintenance notification.

Here is my PowerShell code, which is pretty simple

$maintenanceStartDate  = "09/8/2014 08:00:00 PM" # Date when the maintenance will start
$maintenanceEndDate    = "09/8/2014 09:00:00 PM" # Date when the maintenance will stop
$notificationStartDate = "09/5/2014 08:00:00 AM" # Date when the message will start being displayed
$notificationEndDate   = "09/8/2014 09:00:00 PM" # Date when the message will stop being displayed
$maintenanceLink       = "http://www.google.com" # This link will only appear if the maintenance duration is defined.
$maintenanceType       = "MaintenancePlanned"    # OPTIONS ARE: MaintenancePlanned | MaintenanceWarning
$readOnlyDays          = -1   			 # duration days
$readOnlyHours         = 0   			 # duration hours. 
$readOnlyMinutes       = 0   			 # duration minutes only appears if days and minutes are both zero

$maintenanceWindow = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPMaintenanceWindow   
$maintenanceWindow.MaintenanceEndDate    = $maintenanceEndDate 
$maintenanceWindow.MaintenanceStartDate  = $maintenanceStartDate
$maintenanceWindow.NotificationEndDate   = $notificationEndDate  
$maintenanceWindow.NotificationStartDate = $notificationStartDate      
$maintenanceWindow.MaintenanceType       = $maintenanceType
$maintenanceWindow.Duration              = New-Object System.TimeSpan( $readOnlyDays, $readOnlyHours, $readOnlyMinutes, 0)
$maintenanceWindow.MaintenanceLink       = $maintenanceLink

Now, when I look at $maintenanceWindow to see the values, the times have changed.

PS C:\> $maintenanceWindow

Scenario: I have a anonymous public website that has a document library containing pdf's and word documents.  My publishing site pages have internal links within the page content to these documents.  The site is setup with anonymous access and with Office Web Apps 2013 it all works.

When I bind to Office Web Apps 2013 farm from the SP2013 website, the hook-up is perfect.

The only issue I have is: If the user is anonymous and they try open a document.  The user gets a login prompted and when they cancel the browser shows a 401 unauthorised exception. 

My question is does Office web apps actually work like this?  If anyone has an anonymous SP2013 website using Office web apps, do you get the same behaviour? 

More Info:

If I open http://www.demo.com/documents/mydoc.pdf I get challenged/prompted.

http://www.demo.com/documents/mydoc.pdf?web=1 works perfectly, but I don't want to have to go thru the entire site to amend the content with the extra parameter for internal links.

Can someone with an anonymous SP site and WCA (Office web apps) please confirm this is the behaviour of the product?

Recently I have Installed SharePoint SP1 (15.0.4571.1502)

I have Create a New Web application and SC with BI Center Template.

Activated the Report Server integration feature and deployed PowerPivot Web Application Solution. Now When I wanted to Add SSRS Content types to Data Connections Library, I cannot see them. They are missing in Site content Types. Link :New WebApplication

However I was able to add Report Data Source by copying the Create Report Data Source Link from the Old Site Address and Replaced with Current Site and was able to save it to the Data Connections library. Still cant see the content Types. Link:New Web Application Content

I have old BI center Web Site which has SSRS Content types. This was created before installing the SharePoint SP1, they are still visible and I can add or remove them. Link:Old Web Application

Not sure if the SharePoint 213 SP1 has a Bug or if I am doing something wrong

Thanks

We are going to deploy SharePoint 2013 with PowerPivot for SharePoint (installed from SQL Server media). According to what I've read out there for a small or medium farm, the recommendation is to install PowerPivot for SharePoint onevery SharePoint application server in the farm. However, accoding to the licensing doc I've pasted below, PowerPivot can be run outside the SharePoint farm. We are going with SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition. PowerPivot requires a SQL Server license for each server. To save money on licenisng, can we install PowerPivot for SharePoint on the 2 SQL Server cluster nodes (as a separate instance of course)?

Hi,

Is there a free tool out there that I can use to deploy lists etc. from one SharePoint 2013 site collection to another?

thanks,

Hi,my sharepoint page load  too slow ... If i click a link one time they are slow :10 second, when i double click the link the pages are very fast why? hardware is fine ..

Hi, I've just gone through a long and complicated Sharepoint Upgrade from 2010 to 2013 (long story). It wasn't all Sharepoints fault, there where multiple third party interfacing software packages. The last tricky piece of the puzzle is SSRS (Sharepoint Integrated Mode).

I've installed SSRS 2012 on the new sharepoint server and configured it in sharepoint. I have three new databases in the sql server (it's sql server 2008, this isn't pertinent to the issue, that I'm aware of). I believe this is configured correctly - I've downloaded report builder and I'm able to connect to the sites). Just as fyi, there wasn't an in-place 2008 SSRS on the machine to upgrade, via the Sql Server Installer. It was a case of new hardware etc.

Now I have two databases from my old SSRS 2008 (sharepoint 2010 integrated mode) that I want to upgrade and use. These contain I assume the reports the upgraded sharepoint environment want to access (it is of course a new farm, but with upgraded content databases etc). My question is how do I upgrade and use my old SSRS databases in the new SSRS 2012 / Sharepoint 2013 environment? Many thanks for any ideas, Thanks Dan.

When trying to create a new server farm in the sharepoint foundation 2013 we get a following error :

The My Site Cleanup Job sends a default email to managers 14 days prior to an employee's My Site deletion by default. This email includes a link to the departing employee's My Site, where the respective manager who receives the email is made secondary site collection administrator. 

The link embedded in the email doesn't work. This link is of the format: http://<root url>/my/personal/username. Upon clicking on it, the manager(s) see the 'Something Went Wrong' message page. 

Note that the http://<root url>/my/personal/username/default.aspx link works for that very same manager. 

Is this a bug? I know we cannot edit the email message from the cleanup job, but it is sending an invalid URL for a first time login user - we use Windows Auth and Claims. 

Thanks.

Can somebody help me with this?

Hello,

We migrated a site from 2007 to 2013. Everything looks fine. However, when we try to access the content of a specific list we in the target SharePoint 2013 we get the following error:

Could not find the connection provider Web Part with ID "g_dbbf2940_a31a_4cbf_9e8b_8a0d55bdb9e9".

It appears that this list was using a specific web part for a look up feature and of course the web part didn't make it in the migration. My question is: how can I find which web part that is in SharePoint 2007 only using the web ID included in the error which looks like a GUID but it's not?

Thanks

Hi all,

I installed and configured sharepoint 2013 server(enterprise edition) with sql 2012 on windows server 2012.

I used all the default settings for configuration. It was created central administration .

But in central administration - i can't see site actions menu on left hand side (with options like edit page,create new site,more options,site permissions,sharepoint designer,...).

And i can see the site settings link on the right hand side when i clicked on that clicked on themes i can't see any out of box themes.

And inside the health analyzer these are the messages i am getting.

We use SharePoint 2013 in O365 so everything is in the cloud.

Often we need a printout of standard sets of documents spread throughout SharePoint. I am looking for an App where this can be combined automatically and print a pack from each source file at the click of a button.

for the sake of conversation we are calling it printflow. I found sharepointprinting.com but this only seems to work if you have an on premise server
