Missing Recommendations Displayed and Recommendations Clicked in Usage Reports

$
0
0

Hi 

My SharePoint 2013 is up and running for 4 months. When I click on Site settings -> Popularity and Search Reports -> Usage. The report has "Views" sheet only. And I wonder where are the "Recommendation Displays" and "Recommendation Clicks" sheets?

Because as I know, by default we'll be able to see:

1. The number of views for an item (Views).

2. The number of recommendations displayed per item. (Recommendation Displays)

3. The number of recommendations clicked per item. (Recommendation Clicks)

Refer (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-SG/library/jj715890.aspx)


Any advice and suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards, 

Kelvin

SharePoint 2013 Standard server.

We have a a distributed file system (DFS) which I want to crawl.

I use a UNC path like:

\\machine1234\Departments\HR

The account that runs the crawler can access it. I tested by logging in with that account and pasting the above path into explorer.

I run the a full crawl and get the following error message:

The object was not found

I run with and without proxy, same difference. Any ideas?

Redirector Sessions Hung is High

Not sure if this error is being caused by SharePoint or Windows server yet. I am not I am looking for troubleshooting tips to narrow down on what is causing my Monitoring software to report "Redirector Sessions Hung is High". Every post based on this error ends without resolution or explanation. Some of my servers report 10 - 20 Sessions hung and others report upwards of 10000 hung sessions. Servers seem to be functioning well, not sure what effect the hung sessions have on the environment.

SharePoint 2013: Versioning of files corrupted throughout the Farm.

We have a library where we have performed below activities:

- enable versioning in a document library using Major and minor Version
- create a new document (e.g. Word).
- make a few changes, save each time to create minor Versions
- promote the latest minor Version (e.g. 0.3) to a Major Version (0.3 --> 1.0)
- make a few more changes to create new minor Versions (e.g. 1.1 and 1.2)
- retract Version 1.0 --> will be reverted back to 0.3, nomenclature of 1.1 and 1.2 does not Change, ok. this is happening same in SP 2010 environment.
- promote 1.2 to Major Version:
   --> SharePoint error, The URL "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" is invalid.  It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web.
   --> Version is increased to 2.0
   --> old Version of the document cannot be opened any more.

I have also checked the same behavior in other SP2013 environments and the issue persists there too.

So, is this SP2013 product issue?

Or Somebody faces the same problem.

A certificate validation operation took NNNNN milliseconds and has exceeded the execution time threshold.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 on a single Windows Server 2008 R2 without internet access.

Having the following errors in the Application Windows log:

A certificate validation operation took 11432,3691 milliseconds and has exceeded the execution time threshold.

If this continues to occur, it may represent a configuration issue.

Please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=246987 for more details.

I have already:

1. Imported root sertificate and disabled automatic update of root certificates as describedhere.

2. Added the following to hosts file: 127.0.0.1   crl.microsoft.com

3. Disabled CRL check through registry and machine.config as described here.

4. Rebooted after all (just to be sure).

But still having these errors in the log, approximately once in several minutes.

Any thoughts what should I do next?

Can't access Popularity Trends when "Manage Permissions" is turned off.

When trying to access "Popularity Trends" under "Site Administration" it redirects to, 

Sorry, you don't have access to this page 

And they can request access although when trying to request it gives a 403 error. 

In our environment we have "Manage Permissions" turned off at the Web Application level. If we turn this on it works, but in our environment we do NOT want that to be turned on. 

Is this by design or is there a workaround to be able to use this feature? 

Thanks


license for reporting service with sharepoint integrated mode

$

0

We are currently implementing a sharepoint 2013 farm. We have an enterprise license for a sharepoint server. And we also have a enterprise license for a SQl server for the databases of sharepoint.

And we found out starting from SQl server 2012 and later, the reporting service integrated mode can no longer install on SQL server, but it has to install on the sharepoint application server.as Microsoft license document states if any component installed on any computer needs a license.

Then we come up the question that if we need another license for the reporting services? As Microsoft license document states if any component installed on any computer needs a license.

It sounds expensive that we have to buy another license for SSRS just because it can no longer installed on SQl server

Thanks,

My Site creation failed due to 'User not found' error (SharePoint 2013 w/ AD FS) ?

$

Hi everyone,

Update: it tries to create the site collection within the default zone, instead of the custom one selected for AD FS. So it throws AD FS claims against 'normal' claims, maybe that could be something?

Hopefully someone can help me with this: I've extended a web application and assigned AD FS as a trust provider.

Everything works fine, users can sign in, I've fixed Office Web Apps to use the correct claims with the SPUserLicenseMappings, but I'm having issues creating new personal sites. The error I get:

My Site creation failure for user 'i:05.t|adfs30 trust provider|<USER>' for site url 'https://<URL>/mysites/personal/<USER>'. The exception was: Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PersonalSiteCreateException: A failure was encountered while attempting to create the site. ---> Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Kan de gebruiker niet vinden.

Does anyone know why this error is occurring?

Thanks in advanced!

Changing root welcome page (SharePoint 2013 on-prem)

$

Hi, guys

This is regarding an on-prem installation of SharePoint 2013.

We have an intranet with a customized welcome page called default.aspx which resides in the pages library at the root.

We have now created a new welcome page to replace the old one. The new page is currently called NewHomePage.aspx and also resides in the pages library at the root.

I know that you can use the "Make homepage" button in the ribbon of a page to make it the new homepage, but we don't want the new page to be called NewHomePage.aspx. It really should be named default.asx like the old one.

Which is the best way to perform the switch to the new welcome page?

Any information on the subject would be of interest.

Thanks.

Is it possible to reinstall IIS without uninstalling SP2013?

Hey SharePoint Fam,

I have broken my test environment somehow after trying to add WSUS on both servers and continue to get http 500 errors for both sharepoint sites and central admin.  Not sure where i went wrong and the event log is not throwing any errors at all, but was wondering if I could just totally uninstall IIS on both web/app servers and then just connect IIS back to SharePoint somehow?  I have some critical sites/lists that I don't want to lose otherwise Id just start from scratch and rebuild environment. SQL server is fine and I'm pretty sure it's IIS somehwere that's broken.

Thanks N Advance

Dedicated Distributed Cache Server and ports issue

$

Hi All,

We are in process of setting up a dedicated distrusted search server.

While we passed the ports (22233-22236) to network team that are required by distributed cache server. We have already set up SharePoint and configured so it's connected to farm. In turned on Distributed cache service both via Powershell as well as in Central Administration UI. We received "A failure occurred in SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance::Provision. cacheHostInfo is null for host ‘DCServer’ "error in PowerShell and in Central Administration UI it it showedError Starting. We have already conveyed this to network issue and they mentioned it's an application issue and not port issue

1. Is it really a port issue as this new DC server is not able to netstat the ports  (22233-22236). Here is the SharePoint ULS Logs on Distributed Cache Server

We referred tothis URL http://www.ericjochens.com/2014/02/sharepoint-2013-distributed-cache-issues.html and author mentions that 1st issue is port and if its ports are not opened, distributed cache server may not function correctly?

2. We have 1 Application server, and 4 web front end servers. We have removed the Distributed Cache instance across servers as we have dedicated distriubuted cache server. 
Will this dedicated cache server can manage all WEFs and Application server for all social workloads? How can verify if it's new service is working for all servers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Has anyone able to install SharePoint 2013 standalone setup using this TechNet article:

Install SharePoint 2013 on a single server with a built-in database

I tried all the instructions of above article on Windows 2012, but I am getting error in Step #8 of Product Configuration Wizard:

Failed to create sample data
An exception of type System.ArgumentException was thrown. Additional exception information: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid that cannot be translated.

Many people has reported this before on internet, and there are some tricks related to giving NTFS permissions to ANALYTICS_GUID folder. 

I am happy that this trick works. But, I would like to see some kind of Official Note from Microsoft on this error. Otherwise, the main TechNet article does not make sense.

I am setting a new SP 2013 SSL enabled farm and run into certificate problem.  The farm has 2 WFE and 2 APP.  A separate DNS domain (*.appmydomain.com) is created for App model.  Since security requirement is to have all traffic SSL enabled, I have to use two wild card certificates (one for regular HNSC like *.sp.mydomain.com; one for App domain like *.appmydomain.com). 

I have created one web application (SSL enabled) without host header, 1 root site collection and all my HNSCs.  At test farm we use internal certificate so we can put both wild card certificates in one using SAN method.  That works and I am able to access both HNSC and using App model.  

Here comes the problem: at production farm the public certificate doesn't allow SAN with two different domain names!  I thought I can use http for my web application and extend to SSL enabled so I can off load SSL at load balancer.  But my security team doesn't allow any non-SSL enabled web application.   I am stuck and don't know what other options I have can make this work.  Really appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance.

Sally
