How to empty or remove the data from WSS_logging database

Hi All,

We dont want to store any of the logs or Usage history data etc to be stored any further in WSS_Logging database.As it took huge space of our drive like around 200GB already.

I tried all the below options suggested\Found,but nothing helped much to reduce or empty the data of WSS_Logging database.Is there any other ways to reduce or empty this database if possible or recommend.

Tried:

-Set-SPUsageDefinition –Identity $def.Name –DaysRetained 1
-Disabled all the "SPUsageDefinition"
-Ran the timer jobs "Data import" and "Usage Data processing"
-Used Shrink Data and Log files of "Wss_logging Database".
-Disabled all the logging from Central admin.

However, no much help or no luck yet, to recover the space.
 




Thanks & Regards, Krishna



sharepoint 2010 workflow problem in sharepoint 2013

Hi,

We have recently upgraded our SharePoint from 2010 to 2013 - i created a out of the box approval workflow in SharePoint 2010, with some modifications, and it was working perfectly in SharePoint 2010.

The converted workflow, in my SharePoint 2013 installation does not - the workflow runs, in the beginning, and it spams all the mail recipients with mails about the new item to approve (it should only send to, one to the creater of the item, and one to the person that should approve it) - This is my first problem.

After, i tried to approve the workflow, but it didn't work, i couldn't do anything except to delete the list item that triggered the workflow, this caused the SharePoint server to spam me again, with about 8 e-mails containing the same pice of text saying that my item has been deleted.

I also tried to do a little bit of re-configuring in the workflow, but none of my changes seems to have effect.

Do i need SharePoint Workflow Manager for my SharePoint 2010 workflow to function correctly in SharePoint 2013??

Thanks

I am facing issue with both SP Designer & OOB workflows wherein the workflow task does not triggers.
No task generated in Workflow task list.
Issue persists in one of the site collection & all sub-sites underneath.
ULS shows below error:
Invalid field name. {17ca3a22-fdfe-46eb-99b5-9646baed3f16}  /sites/Test1/Lists/Workflow-Tasks

Above ID id is associated with internal site field "FormURN".
On furthe check found that said field does not exits in affected site.

It seems workflow fails because above field is missing from workflow task list.
I want to know how the get this field back.

Any help much appreciated.

I have one user in a site owner group who is unable to access the site permissions page on the site. Other users in the group are able to access the site permissions except for this one users. The user can access the site and can even edit the Owner Group itself but cannot access site permissions through the site settings. She is presented with the "Sorry you don't have access" screen each time. I have even added her separately to the site with Full Control access but she is still unable to access the site permissions.

SharePoint 2013 - User Profile syncronization job run successfully but no update show.

$

Hi

User Profile services (UPS) was setup and been running fine for a while now but lately AD user profile properties have not been synced with SharePoint anymore.   I checked and find that User Profile synchronization increment or full jobs run successfully.  I checked using Synchronization Service Manager tool and all synchronization connections show passed with no errors.

This farm have 3 Application servers APP1, APP2 and APP3 and I only run UPS synchronization job on only one of them  APP3.

I tried Get-SPserviceinstance  and found that  User Profile Synchronization Service  is running on both APP1 and APP3 now.  I think this may be the problem why SharePoint Users profiles did not get update is the job run on APP1.

I don't know how that happened but I checked services on servers and ensured that FIM Synchronization Service only running on APP3.

what should I do to make sure APP3 is the only and correct server to run UPS Synchronization job?

Thanks for any advise or comment.

I recently took over as an admin of our Office365 SharePoint site.  I was clearing out old Access Requests and came across one from an employee who is no longer with the company.  I'm not able to decline the request ("Failed to decline request" is the only response I get) and I don't see another way to remove this request.

Is there some way to clear out this old data?

Thanks in advance.

Preserving Document ID after moving documents to different site collection

$
0
0

Hi,

We have a single site collection that grew too large and now we're splitting the content to different content databases.

We're mostly using Document ID and saving documents.

From my testing, moving subsite (web) to newly created site (site collection) keeps Document ID in existing documents.

The problem is, I want to start new Document ID count in new site collection while keeping existing IDs untouched.

Here's the thing:

Our ID starts with "ID123". I added some new files and got ID123-111, ID123-112 etc...

So I changed it, without resetting existing documents, from Document ID Settings page (DocIdSettings.aspx) to "NEWID" and rerun both jobs (tried multiple times) only new created documents got new ID witch is exactly I wanted ... BUT

When I created again new documents I got my old ID with "ID123-113". I run dozen times timer jobs but old ID were never changed. So I changed again ID settings to "NEWID2" and rerun timer jobs. Last created documents got new ID but new created documents afterwards  got again "ID123"

Any advise?

Update: Even if I reset all documents with new ID, after timer jobs, all new documents receives old ID ("ID123"). Another thing, some documents got the same ID.

Merge user accounts

Hello,

I have activate the user profile synchronization service after 2 years of running SharePoint 2013.
I use the "SharePoint Profile Synchronization". The import has no errors, but I have a little problem.

I have old accounts from the sharepoint directly. After importing the user from AD the user accounts aren't merge. I can it see by one user. The old sharepoint account has the old surname and the imported the new one. If the user logged in the sharepoint, we see the old and wrong name.

My question is now, how can I merge these account? I would have the imported accounts as information about a user.

Best regards,
Robert

SharePoint: Serverside bar for editing a document missing (opened via hyperlink)

$

Hello everybody,

We have a problem in my company since our recent Windows10 Update. The serverside bar in Microsoft Office 2016 is missing, if we open a document in SharePoint via hyperlink. Documents are opening in read-only. Filepath is correct though.

Fix via registry "OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing" is working, but we don't know, why we need the fix under Windows 10. Windows 7-Clients with Microsoft Office 2016 are working perfectly fine and don't need that fix.

Our preferred Browser for SharePoint: Internet Explorer 11 32-Bit.

I can only see differences between Windows7- and Windows 10-Client on the activated addons. Office Document Cache Handler-Addon is missing under Windows 10.

Do you have any ideas? :-)

Best regards

User Profile Synchronization Service Won't Start

$

Good Morning SharePoint Pros, I have a SharePoint 2013 farm with patches up to date

My user profile synchronization service won't start. I have tried all the standard stuff I have found including;

1. Recreate the service application (per this website http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010ups.aspx)
2. Delete all certificates related to the FIM service account
3. Cleared the config cache  (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/939308/error-message-when-you-try-to-modify-or-to-delete-an-alternate-access)
4. Applied the latest update for the SQL Server 2008 Native Client (version 10.53.6560.0)
5. Deleted and re-created the UPSA proxy
6. Made sure my account was in the Farm Admins Group
7. Made sure I had local admin rights on the farm account that starts the UPSS
8. I have checked the "harbar" UPS articles "
9. Manually enter the server and database names in the registry

* HKLM\system\currentcontrolset001\services\FIMservice

* HKLM\system\currentcontrolset002\services\FIMservice

* HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\FIMservice

10.  The user  profile service is started
11. The User profile service app, user profile service app proxy and the user profile service in central admin are started...

Nothing seems to work.

I have also tried manually starting the FIM service and I get the errors below. Any ideas?

 

The server encountered an unexpected error and stopped.

Hey all, I've been seeing this error consistently over the past several weeks and Can't seem to figure out exactly where the access issue is or how to determine the permissions requirements for this timer job: Feed Cache Repopulation Job, which is what the error below refers too: 

Primary Error in ULS and Windows Event logs:

The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob (ID af5aa503-f61a-4c95-ad93-0bf8adf88cdb) threw an exception. More information is included below.  Access is denied.  

Additional error seen in ULS prior to the one above is thrown:

LMTRepopulationJob.Execute - Unexpected exception: Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileException: Access is denied.   ---> System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Access is denied.     

 at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.MossClientBase`1.ExecuteOnChannel(String operationName, CodeBlock codeBlock)    
 at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.FeedCacheServiceClient.ExecuteOnChannel(String operationName, CodeBlock codeBlock)     -
 -- End of inner exception stack trace ---    
 at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.FeedCacheServiceClient.ExecuteOnChannel(String operationName, CodeBlock codeBlock)

 at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob.IsRepopulationNeeded()    
 at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob.Execute()

I've done the following so far:

Checked that the farm service account has permissions on the user profile service application,

Checked that the cache cluster is online and looking at the health, I don't see any un-allocated  named cache fractions, etc.

Checked the permissions using Get-CacheAllowedClientAccount (I see the user profile service account and the farm account in the list), 

I tried restarting the app fabric cache cluster, and no luck. 

Does anyone have any ideas on where the access denied could be coming from? Should I be looking in the SQL databases, if so what permissions should I be checking in SQL?
