SQL query to remove [MissingWebPart] WebPart class references from content database

$
0
0

I have sharepoint  environment, which has previously K2 however currently it's removed. I would like currently to clean all k2 references in the content database. I am receiving the below error in the central administration 

[MissingWebPart] WebPart class [334d10fa-a50a-5f79-ffbb-2e1d5e80c15a] (class [SourceCode.SharePoint.ProcessPortal.WebPartPages.SchedulesWebPart] from assembly [SourceCode.SharePoint.ProcessPortal, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=16a2c5aaaa1b130d]) is referenced [2] times in the database [WSS_Content], but is not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature/solution which contains this web part. One or more web parts are referenced in the database [WSS_Content], but are not installed on the current farm. Please install any feature or solution which contains these web parts. 

I have followed the article "http://get-spscripts.com/2011/08/diagnose-missingwebpart-and.html" to locate the references. I have found the LeafName in the database however in the site collection the page is not exist. I have checked it using designer and other sharepoint management tool but no luck to found that page. I have delete the item from the database in AllDocs table and in AllDocsStream tables. But still I m receiving the error in the central administration.

Is there any SQL query to clean the references and remove the effected item from the content database.

Set up a SP Farm based on the SP 2013 On-Premises Best Practices

$

Am having the below requirements from my customer:

 130 documents in a document library and in a  year there are about 50 document libraries would be created for my site collection.

Also there are going to be multiple workflows running in this site collection on multiple document libraries.

There are 35 splists in the to-be system.these may have some 1000+ records as these are acting as the datasource for end-user's custom web forms.

 Search is also going to be a important role in this application having some 20 refiners in the search center site collec.

Planning to have the NTLM Authentication, Windows AD based authentication only. [ No FBA ]  

 How do I set up a farm based on these information. Currently my thought process is going like this  :

 2 WFE servers with NLB configured

 2 APP Servers , thats acting as a INDEX Servers as well.

 1 Sql Server with clustering and mirroring configured  with 510GB set for database data files [ MDF files] 

and 510 GB  set for db transaction log files.

Currently the SQL Server is already configured at customer's environment. In this, they already have their own intranet asp.net web application mapped against the DEFAULT SQL instance.

 


Audit Log Reports - Database

I have to enable audit log for all available options for my site collection, since Client needs all available options.

But, I have no formula / best practice to plan content DB size. I mean, not sure how much storage in DB is required for audit

currently the approach is 200 GB single Content DB per site collection. Expected size of the content to be filled is 120-160 GB. It may grow going forward.

end users are 2000+, intranet site for BPO repository, so lot many hits / views will be there.

What is the best approach to maintain Audit log. ?

Setup Apps for AAM Zone

Hi everyone, I have a 2-tier farm with 2 SharePoint 2013 Servers configured for high availability (both servers are SharePoint, Search, Workflow etc.)
 with a hardware load balancer in front of them.
The configuration is as follow: I have one web application with one http site collection
HostA:
IIS Host header: http://siteA.contoso.local (Default zone)-> IP 10.1.1.1
extended with Alternate Access Mapping to
IIS Host header: https://siteB.contoso.com (Intranet zone)-> IP 10.1.1.1
Windows HOSTS file entries:
10.1.1.1  siteA.contoso.local
10.1.1.1  siteB.contoso.com

HostB:
IIS Host header: http://siteA.contoso.local (Default zone)-> IP 10.1.1.2
extended with Alternate Access Mapping to
IIS Host header: https://siteB.contoso.com (Intranet zone)-> IP 10.1.1.2
Windows HOSTS file entries:
10.1.1.2  siteA.contoso.local
10.1.1.2  siteB.contoso.com

Load Balancer VIP: 10.1.1.3 (for port 80 & 443).
Domain DNS Server Entries:
10.1.1.3  siteA.contoso.local
10.1.1.3  siteB.contoso.com
(those are the IPs that my clients use to connect to https://siteB.contoso.com

So both zones are using the same Virtual IP with Host Headers configured on IIS.
My users are using the https://siteB.contoso.com zone only.
I 'm trying to configure Apps infrastructure.
So far I have managed to make Apps working on my http zone but I have problem to setup Apps for my https (AAM) zone.

I have configured DNS entries for my apps:
*.contosoapps.com   -> points to VIP 10.1.1.3 ( https://siteB.contoso.com ).

Apps domain:  app.contosoapps.com
Apps web application and top level site collection has been set up:
http://contosoapps.com& https://contosoapps.com:444 (with NO HEADERS on IIS)
SSL certificate *.contosoapps.com have been issued and installed on IIS

Right now, Apps are working on my http zone, but i can't make them work on my https zone.

I 'm aware of March 2013 PU new New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain PowerShell commands and tried to apply them for my https zone:

$contentService =   [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$contentService.SupportMultipleAppDomains   = $true
$contentService.Update()
Iisreset

New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain -AppDomain   contosoapps.com -WebApplicationhttps://siteB.contoso.com -Zone intranet -Port   444 -SecureSocketsLayer

Get-SPHealthAnalysisRule   WebApplicationAppDomainsConfigurationTest | Enable-SPHealthAnalysisRule

i'm getting error
"An error occurred during a connection to app-ed24a3aad7c2da.contosoapps.com.
SSL peer has no certificate for the requested DNS name. Error code: SSL_ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT

What i'm missing here? Is my configuration above correct?
Thank you in advance!

SharePoint People Picker not showing enough result

We have an issue with people picker in Sharepoint. 

We've about 50 users "Omair" with one name with "Omair.". When we tried to share with these users, if we search withOmai
it only shows 30 users.

If we search with Omair. (name with ends with dot not serachable)
it only shows 0 users.

Why only 30 users search instead of 50.

Really strange behavior and it leaves the impression that some users don't exist and it's not the case. 

Thanks.

404 Error on MySites

Hello,

I had created a seperate MySites Web application from my actual sharepoint site. I'm a bit confused what is going on and why it is not showing up. I have the Certificate properly installed in IIS and is binded to the site. I've created the Site Collection, set up the permissions policy, user policy, and the self-service site creation.

So How I have it set up is AggieShare is my mail web application and mysites is on it's own. I added a wildcard inclusion called mysites for the mysites web app. Do I needed to add that same wildcard inclusion on aggieshare's managed paths?

I changed the host header of that binding to mysites.cameron.edu. The managed path is called mysites witch is entered into the User Profile Service Applicaitons Set up Mysites. I'm curious wither this is the problem, so AggieShare is my main Web Application while MySites is the Web Application witch well suppose to host the mysites stuff. So the wildcard inclusion path (mysites) was created in the MySites Web Application. All the configurations that where done on the MySites Web Application. Does anything need to be done with the AggieShare Web Application?

User Property - configure term set

I've the SPS-Jobtitle user Property that uses a BCS connection and retrieves the Attribute 'Title' in that external DB  

I've enabled the "Configure a Term Set to be used for this property" and pointed it to the "Job title" under People in the MetaData TermStore

Shouldn't SharePoint create a Term for each value that is imported ? 

And does this happen after full sync or is it a timer job? 


Configure SQL always on Configuration for SharePoint 2013 Server Farm

Configured SharePoint 2013 farm with SQL server 2012 AOAG group.

When the SQL database fails over to the secondary instance . I get a message as follows

We apologize for any inconvenience, but we've made the site read only while we're making some improvements.

It seems like it is in read mode.

Is it just a warning that can be ignored or am I missing an important step during configuration.

I have configured the SQL AOAG(Always on Availability group) in Synchronous mode.

Steps so far

  • Installed SharePoint binaries and configured SharePoint with SQL server
  • Installed SQL on two SQL servers. Configured AOAG group with a Listener
  • Configured SQL alias name for SharePoint Always configuration in Synchronous mode
  • When the SQL instance on the first primary instance is stopped. The secondary SQL server automatically becomes the primary and SharePoint successfully renders but it has the message.
  • In SQL the databases appear as synchronized on the primary and secondary instance.
  • Manual fail-over and using fail-over wizard have the same effect as shown below

. See Image below enter image description here

I also can see the following critical error in the ulsViewer Logs which implies it is an an read only mode

SharePoint Cannot update database on SQL Server instance SQL01. Database (....) is read/only. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. Failed to update SharePoint_Config database because the database is read-only.

Error messages in memory on SharePoint server

Hi all,

I am currently using SharePoint Server 2013. The SharePoint application is installed on a server and the SQL database on another one. In the Event Viewer of SharePoint server I am having performance issues:

Warning 1:

The SharePoint Health Analyzer detected a condition requiring your attention.  Drives are at risk of running out of free space.
Available drive space is less than five times the value of physical memory. This is dangerous because it does not provide enough room for a full memory dump with continued operation. It also could cause problems with the Virtual Memory swap file: (servername - C:\).Examine the failing servers and delete old logs or free space on the drives. 

Warning 2:

The SharePoint Health Analyzer detected a condition requiring your attention.  The Current server is running low on memory.
The memory usage on the current server is about {0}. This can cause the eviction or throttling of the Distributed Cache Service/
Check the memory usage on the machine.And try to free up some memory or add more ram on the machine. 

In the SQL database server, I have noticed that the SQL Server Windows NT -64 bit application is consuming the highest memory.

Can you please advise whether fin-tuning should be done on the SQL Server?

THanks

CMIS Export Issue: Greater less than specific FLOAT number causes ERROR

$

We have a Java application where we OCR documents and extract data. The extracted data along with the document is then exported to SharePoint using CMIS v1.0. We are using org.apache.chemistry.opencmis v0.10.0 api to connect to SharePoint and export document along with the meta data. 

But recently facing a strange issue with one of the extracted value. The issue is that for specific float values in the extracted fields (index fields), we are receiving an error from CMIS, halting the further processing in application for that document but at the SharePoint end, the document and values are exported successfully. Data types for the index fields in the Java application and SharePoint are String and Single Line of Text respectively which are identical and compatible and should not cause an issue. 

The issue is with the float value 2,108.17 and similar values for any of the index field in the document. The issue is not replicated in following cases and the documents are exported along with meta data properly witout an issue.
a.If the decimal value is greater than .29 e.g. 2,108.30
b.If before comma (,) we have 2 digits e.g. 32,108.17
c.If the value is without comma e.g. 2108.17

After debugging, we observed that in any case correct values are passed on to CMIS API. Below is the error snippet from CMIS

Caused by: org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.commons.exceptions.CmisRuntimeException: Found
               at org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.bindings.spi.atompub.AbstractAtomPubService.convertStatusCode(AbstractAtomPubService.java:487)

               at org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.runtime.FolderImpl.createDocument(FolderImpl.java:95)

We are unable to find any clue related to this issue. Can someone please help us with this issue. Thanking in anticipation.

Auditing changes made in Sharepoint Admin Centre (Office 365)

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a way to view auditing logs for changes made in the SharePoint Admin Centre in Office 365?

So if the sharing option "Sharing outside your organisation" was changed from "Don't allow sharing outside your organisation" to "Allow users to invite and share with authenticated external users", would this be logged and if so where?

Thanks, 

Thomas

Configuring App Store on SharePoint 2013 Complete instructions

Hi, i am looking for complete instructions on Creating App catalog on SharePoint 2013.

From A to Z.

MSDN does not include all the steps:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179923(v=office.15)

Lots of people refer to this article but also is incomplete:

http://sharepointchick.com/archive/2012/07/29/setting-up-your-app-domain-for-sharepoint-2013.aspx

and so on.

I have the DNS configures, i have run the scripts and App management and Subscription settings is running.

I need to create the App Catalog site....Most of the articles does not cover this.

So i need to create a Web App with no host header? So do i create the url as Server name on port 80?

If i create the app catalog do select that Web App?

Then where does the blank site collection in the root come in?

Thanks, if there is any sites that cover this it would be appreciated.

I am receiving the following error I can not find how to turn on in either Site Collection Features or in Manage Site Features.

Problem applying web template

This web template requires that certain features be installed, activated, and licensed. The following problems are blocking.

Feature Description = SitePageResourcesFeature Feature Scope - Site Collection Feature ID = ff77ac56-88d0-4147-b865-e84f5f03fc42  Problem = Not activated

This template can't be used for this site collection until the issues above are resolved.

I am copying a site template over from my sandbox into my production site and its yelling this at me. I checked and double checked that all my setting from my sandbox to my production site were exactly the same. Help what am I missing here or is this something I am missing

Thanks
