We are trying to add a lot of forms to a list by adding in its schema.xml this:

<Forms>

<Form Type="EditForm" Url="Test.aspx" SetupPath="features\$SharePoint.Feature.DeploymentPath$\CustomList\Forms\Test.aspx" UseLegacyForm="TRUE" WebPartZoneID="Main" Default="FALSE" UseDefaultListFormWebPart="FALSE"/>

......

......

</Forms>

There shouldn't be a limit for the Form tag, but after like 90 forms we can't add anymore and when we try to enable the feature with the list we get an error while activating the list feature.<br />We also tried to add the forms by creating a module with the forms, and referencing them in the content types, the problem is that the file is not recognized as a form and therefore is not shown as a form should, with the ribbon and so on. Is there anyway to increase this limit or other alternative solution?

After upgrading from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013, I didn’t need to upgrade all possible Service Applications, but Managed Metadata was one I needed to upgrade. Following TechNet instructions and trying to create new Managed Metadata Service Application using the old SP2010 database never completer, the PowerShell command just stuck and never finished – also the MM Service Application was stuck in Stopped state and couldn’t be started with $mms.Provision().

So, I created fresh Managed Metadata SA, and restored the old database over the new one, after which the Database Upgrade Status page showed that the database would need to be upgraded, how to do that? First guess was $db.Upgrade(), but that wasn’t it.

Databases: SearchLinksDatabase, SearchAdminDatabase, SearchGathererDatabase e SearchAnalyticsReportingDatabase.

I'm currently trying to upgrade an SharePoint extranet that currently uses Windows authentication and a client certificate. Currently this environment continually prompts users to re-authenticate every time they open a document.

For the new environment for two factor authentication, I'm planning to implement ADFS and use SAML authentication on the web application.

In this scenario, will users outside our network stay authenticated when they open documents? Or will they still need when they click on a document in the browser and it opens in Word or Excel?

How do you import an Excel spreadsheet into a SharePoint 2013 list? Is this functionality out of the box in SharePoint 2013?

 I have figured out how to import an Excel spreadsheet into a list as an attachment in SharePoint 2013, but not directly into the list.  Upon opening the list, I would like to see all the columns, rows, and data displayed.  I do not want to open an attachment to view the data in the actual spreadsheet.  I was able to do this in SharePoint 2010, but cannot do it in SharePoint 2013.

All of the questions in previous related topics are related to SharePoint 2010 and earlier versions, so they are not helpful.

Hi everyone,

we are planning to migrate share point 2013 on premise to online using metalogix tool. so i need test cases for migration.

can any one guide me please.

Hi,

I have a standard out of the box approval workflow (2010 approval on SharePoint 2013) that occasionally assigns tasks twice.  It doesn't do it every time so it is really hard to figure out why it does this.  Also, the workflow is not starting twice, as if someone uploaded and then updated the document and triggered the workflow to run again.  Instead the workflow starts once, assigns tasks to people, and then after about two minutes it assigns tasks to that same group of people again.  The end result is two sets of tasks from the same workflow.  The second set of tasks can be completed but the first task assigned gives an error that says:

Sorry, something went wrong

This task is currently locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited.

Do any of you have an idea on why

Hi,

I'm planning a new SharePoint farm and would like to put in place an external provisioning system for sites, in line with what Microsoft seems to be recommending these days. 

Basically I would like something to allow defining a site configuration - apply branding, upload and set logo, apply some settings- then a portal to request a new site would create a new site based on an out of the box template, then apply all the customisations, and hopefully manage changes in future also.

As I understand it the remote provisioning framework does this and people seem to hand craft their solutions using the framework. I'm interested to know if any vendors provide a solution for this, rather than needing to pay our implementation partner to develop a solution for us. I think AvePoint's governance solution might do something like this but am not sure.

thanks

Hi I was trying to add a video to a Sharepoint page in one of our departments, and saw the option was unavailable.

So I went to Site Settings, like the tutorials say, and tried to enable to feature, but was unable to.

I was reading online to force add it, so I tried it:

I thought that was weird, so I checked the root site, and indeed it was enabled.

I figured I would turn it off, then back on again, but I was unable to turn it off.

So I tried to enable it for the specific department:

I read https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/ba67916b-da2e-4792-8aae-b4450ab21e0d/unable-to-create-site-in-sharepoint?forum=sharepointadmin

And the person said to force it on the site:

And that command appeared to work.

And I checked site settings for the dept, and it shows it enabled.

Yet when I added a page, and went to insert:

What should I try next?

In our 2010 farm, we have two web applications.  Let's call them AS and AI.

We're migrating to 2013 and want to use only one web application.  The root site collection in this web application has already been created to act as the AI equivalent from the 2010 farm, so we want to ensure that we don't overwrite it in the process of migrating the AS site collection from the 2010 farm to the 2013 farm.

This leaves me needing to migrate the AS root site collection from 2010 to 2013, into the same web application where the AI equivalent site collection already exists (and of course I don't want to overwrite it).

Based on what I've seen so far, Backup-SPSite (from the 2010 farm) / Restore-SPSite (to the 2013 farm) doesn't work because the schema versions differ between 2010 and 2013.

Manually recreating the AS site collection doesn't seem feasible and there is very little chance of purchasing a 3rd party tool to help...what do you recommend?  The only thing I haven't tried is creating a new web app on the 2013 side to act as an intermediary, holding place to get the AS site collection into the 2013 farm and then perform a backup/restore within the same farm, instead of across farms as I tried in the previous example.

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

I have been given task to migrate SharePoint 2007 (Enterprise) application to 2013 on premise. SharePoint 2007 is running on 64 bit server and during migration it should remain live i.e. should work continuously. Since to migrate 2007 to 2013 initially we need to migrate to 2010 and then again to 2013.
Now the problem I am facing is SharePoint 2007 is having large number of 
A. InfoPath forms
B. OOB and custom Workflow

InfoPath forms:
While InfoPath forms are not basically supported in SharePoint 2013 and also if we want to run workflow with InfoPath form then only 2010 workflow can be run. What planning should I take for this?

Workflow:
Workflow are totally different in 2007 than 2013. What plan should I take to migrate those 2007 workflows to 2010?

Is this really required to fully stabilize the 2010 firm first(with all feature running successfully) and then migrate 2010 application with all feature to 2013?
Can any one of you who has done such complicated migration from 2007 to 2013 can tell how to handle this situation?
I need your immediate help. Thank you.

Here I have to migrate through default way i.e. without any migration tool. How can I do that?

Hi All,

Sorry but I'm faced with another painful headache. I have a couple of site locations and I have just noticed that you can't restore files from the  site collection recycle bin.When you attempt to perform this task you get;

"Sorry,Something went wrong

Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Annoyingly the correlation ID that it's generated and which I have used to check the ULS logs has yielded nothing.

Please can anybody help? Is it just seems that I'm the only one that has this issue.

Thanks,

Dominic

Greetings!

We have a SharePoint 2013 site that is setup as www.thesite.com, using AAM configured as such (using http://www.thesite.com), with an A record (www) in DNS pointing to FQDN http://www.thesite.com. When testing without the "www" (orhttp://thesite.com), it does hit the site, but consistently fails with the "Sorry, something went wrong" screen. If usinghttp://www.thesite.com, the site opens without issue. I attempted to locate the error ID in the SP logs, but (interesting) the GUID doesn't appear (Medium level logging). I'm a bit rusty when it comes to DNS \ AAM and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for what I may be missing. Thanks!

My SSRS (in SharePoint integrated mode) database is stuck in a "Provisioning" status (PowerShell on how I found that out). SSRS still seems to work but the SharePoint best practice analyzer is telling me an upgrade is needed but the databases are not showing any upgrades needed. What can I do to get the DB out of "Provisioning" status? Should I upgrade it somehow? Or is there something else I can do here. (I have recently run "PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources" and that hasn't helped.) I appreciate any assistance in advance!

I ran the below command to find the status of my SSRS DB:

Hi all,

I have this error in my Event Viewer for SharePoint Server 2013 Standard Edition:

"The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob (ID 647a1f90-6b26-490b-8b14-390ff79babe3) threw an exception. More information is included below.

Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.IsRepopulationNeeded: Connection to the server terminated,check if the cache host(s) is running." Can you please advise how to fix this error?

Since I haverestored a SP Foundation 2013 content database which was on another workstation into another workstation whereby SP Server 2013 Standard Edition has been installed, the Source in Event Viewer is showing as "SharePoint Foundation". Can you please explain me why the Source is showing as "SharePoint Foundation" instead of"SharePoint Server"

Hi

We have a giant database 550 that we are mounting to a SharePoint Webapplication. This has been running for 2 days now. Is there anyway (menu or qqueries) on the SQL server to check if the operation is stuck and stopped or still running?brgs
