2013 Workflow Service - Enabled for Other Site Collections

I have setup the 2013 workflow service with our SharePoint environment. This works fine with the site collection originally used to register the workflow service.
The other site collections (in the same web application - we are using host named site collections) cannot see this, and SharePoint designer gives the error: "The option for the SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform is not available because the workflow
service is not configured on the server".
Now as the other site collections are in the same web application, the have the service connection to the "Workflow Service Application Proxy".
I have also seen posts about running a "Enable-SPFeature" command on the other site collections to enable WorkflowService or WorkflowServiceStore but this only returned an error (essentially) saying the futures were already enabled.
Where else can I look to try and diagnose what is wrong or what can I do to allow the other site collections to get access to the 2013 workflow service?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the SharePoint 2013 workflow platform not worked in other site collection.
Did you enable the workflow service application proxy? You can enable it as below, then check whether it works.
Whenever a new workflow service application proxy is created in SP2013, by default it will not be associated(service connection) with any web application.
You can go to Central admin site->Manage web applications page -> Select the web app which was registered earlier during configuration and check " workflow service application proxy" and click OK.
Did the workflow platform work in other web application?
If they all not work, I recommend you reconfigure the workflow manager, you can also check the steps with the following articles.

Incoming Email for a site collection larger than 25GB

Hello,
Incoming emails on a site collection not getting to document library. It stays in drop folder. Uls logs shows below message:
The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch. The elapsed time was 00:00:00. The service processed 2 message(s) in total. Errors occurred processing 2 message(s): Message ID: Message ID: 0511e09c-fe1b-d07e-a534-adcbf7e5cfbe.
I have researched but haven't found anything. Incoming email works for other site collections in the farm with smaller size compare to that is not working. Site collection that is not receiving incoming email is size larger than 25G. There is no size
quota restriction.
Is there any restriction for incoming email for site collection larger than 25G?

Note : We are not allowed to use CSOM for this requirement.
Many Thanks,

Hi Vinod,
You can use cross site publishing feature of SharePoint 2013.

Setting SharingCapability property for a Site Collection using CSOM in C#

Hello,
I am trying to deploy multiple site collections in a SharePoint 2013 Online tenant, using CSOM in C#.
I am currently using the SiteCreationProperties to do this, but I miss one crucial parameter : SharingCapability.
Do you guys know a way of activating external sharing for a site collection in CSOM ?

I believe you can set the SharingCapability of the Site after you create it. You can use the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.TenantAdministration.Tenant.GetSitePropertiesByUrl(siteUrl, true)
This returns SiteProperties object with a SharingCapability property you can set with the appropriate enumeration. Then call the Update method.

Creating multiple subscriptions for collaborative site collections under same OU in multi-tenancy

Hi,
We have an application that creates host based collaborative site collections and MySite Host site collections. We have created two separate web applications for hosting collaborative site collections and Mysite host based site collections as recommended
by MS.
For creation of collaborative site collections, we are creating separate site subscriptions for separate site collections. For example, if a tenant has two collaborative site collections as CSC1 and CSC2, then two site subscriptions are created for two CSCs
under the same tenant. The reason behind the implementation is as follows:
There is a 1:1 mapping with the featurepack and site subscription. Now if two site collections are created under the same site subscription, then altering the feature pack of any site collection will affect the other one. Whereas, if separate subscriptions
are created fro separate site collections, then altering the featurepack of any site collection will not affect the other site collections.
Now, my concern is, will the basic functionalities of SharePoint, like search, user profile, etc, will break for the above implementation. Is there any technical hazard for the above implementation.
A quick response is appreciated, as we need to deliver a customer ASAP.
Thanks in advance,
Arnab

Search and UPSA would be part of the Site Subscription, so I'm unsure as to what you're specifically asking.

Powershell script to get Audit log settings for all site collections.

Hi all,
I am facing issue to get audit log details for all site collection across the farm with the below script. Could someone help me change the script.
Function AuditValue($url)
$site=Get-SPSite $url
auditMask = $site.audit.auditflag
return auditMask
Get-SPSite -Limit All | Get-SPWeb -Limit All |
Select Title,Url,AuditValue(Url)| export-csv "D:\scripts\Test\AuditDetails.csv" -notypeinformagettion
Thanks Basva

What errors are you getting? That is if any.
Scrap that I see a few.
Not had time to fix it fully. As I am now done at work, but this will help you on your way. It gets back only the audit flag value at the moment.
Function AuditValue
$site = Get-SPWeb "http://server" -limit ALL
foreach($i in $site)
$auditMask = $site.audit
$list = $auditMask
$list | Select-object auditflags
AuditValue | out-file "C:\temp\AuditDetails.csv"
EDIT::
Function AuditValue
$site = Get-SPWeb "http://SERVER" -limit ALL
foreach($i in $site)
$auditMask = $site.audit
$list = $auditMask
$list | Select-object @{Name="URL"; Expression ={$site.url}}, auditflags
AuditValue | out-file "C:\temp\AuditDetails.csv"
The above will also put URL

How to set version limit for entire site collection

Hi,
We have more than 500 document libraries in one site collection. I see some of them have more than 50 versions & taking lot of storage space. So planning to limit the version's to 3 Major and 3 Minor for entire site collection. How can we do that? I
know we can set to individual library by how can we do that for entire site collection?
Thanks
Rithu.
Rithu

The version limit is a library specific setting, so you'll need to use PowerShell to set the property value on each library in every site in the site collection. Here's a sample script that sets if for one library. You'll need to expand the script
to walk the sites recursively and run this for every library.
https://consultantpoint.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/powershell-setconfigure-document-library-with-majorversionlimit-majorwithminorversionslimit-require-to-checkout-before-editing/
Please Note: Changing these settings won't delete old versions. That only happens after each item in the list or library is edited.

You can try a direct connection and select No Proxy in the connection settings.
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"
Also do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

SPD 2013 Workflow - Create list item with people picker in other site collection

Hi all,
I read a lot of blogs and forum posts the last couple of days, but I seem to be stuck as to why my workflow is not working as expected - thus, I thought I would ask the experts :-)
Setup:
2 lists in 2 different site collections
http://svr-url/servicedesk/tickets
http://svr-url/projects/requests
SharePoint 2013 on Prem
I try to create a SPD 2013 workflow that creates a new item in list "requests" once a certain trigger is set in list "tickets". One of the fields I need to copy is the requestor = People picker field.
I did a web service call with a REST call to create a list item. All works well as long as I just stick to Title and other text fields, but filling in the "Requestor" fails with "Bad request".
I learned I need to use the "RequestorID" field and in a blog I read I need to put in the user id as Int32. So I set the parameters in the dictionary to integer. Still I get "bad request".
Another issue: as I have lists from 2 site collections, the user id differs for the same user.
/servicedesk: ID = 9
/projects: ID = 22
Additionally, the possibility exists that the user I try to set is not already existent in the /projects user information list.
How can I deal with that?

Enable Sharepoint 2013 SkyDrive Pro Synch for some site

Good day,
How do you enable SkyDrive pro for some libraries, i have only found the switch that enables for all or for none. Can this be configured via Powershell ? and how thanks

Hi Franciske,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to sync multiple SharePoint 2013 libraries with SkyDrive Pro.
For enabling SkyDrive Pro for some SharePoint libraries, you can click ‘SYNC’ at the top of SharePoint web site, then you can select which library is synchronized to SkyDrive Pro. Or you can use SkyDrive Pro directly by right-clicking it and selecting ‘Sync
a new library’, then type the URL of the library that you want to sync.
You only sync one library to SkyDrive Pro at once time. So , for synchronizing multiple libraries, you need to sync multiple times.
More information, please refer to the links:

SharePoint 2013 site coll's created. Home page not displaying for any site collection in farm

SharePoint 2013 site coll's created. Home page not displaying. Same issue for all site coll's in the farm. Done the basic checks. Any Ideas?

Hi lakshita,
Would you please check whether you can go to the page:
http://siteurl/_layouts/settings.aspx page:
http://siteurl/default.aspx page? If so, go to Site Features in site settings page, reactivate the Wiki Page home page feature, check the result.
If not, please check whether there is related information in ULS log and event viewer log file? Does the page shows page not found or other errors? Check whether the site can be opened in other machine?
Thanks,

2013 Workflow not working for tenant admin

Hi
I've been struggling with an issue developing a site for a client. They have their own SharePoint 2013 tenancy, which we can manage as a partner. I can log in to the site with my own company account linked to Office 365, and can do everything I need to in
terms of site administration.
However, I've run into a problem whereby although I can create and publish SharePoint 2013 workflows, I cannot run them successfully. If there is anything in the workflow such as writing to the history list, the workflow hangs with the status "Started"
and "Activity in progress" (no error message).
I've got around the problem by testing the workflow as a user from our client's tenancy, but I'm curious as to why my user doesn't work for this. It works fine for everything else, including SharePoint 2010 workflows. Is there some permission somewhere that
needs to be set, or is this by design?
Duncan

Hi Ganesh,
Based on your description, I recommend you verify the things below:
Check if the SharePoint search service account is added in the Windows Authorization Access Group in Active Directory.
Check if the non-admin users have permission to view the results searched.
Check if the inline search can work in lists’ pages or libraries’ pages.
Best regards.
Thanks

Expose one site collection to Internet and other site collections in intranet

hi,
as per my requirement i need to build the following applns:
1) custom document mgmnt system with lot of publishing/ collaboration features- discussion forums, site mailbox,check in / check -out , archiving the old documents, generate custom view
2) Km portal - a Knowledge management system with communities, upload document feature , share the contents,blog,wikis
3) MySite - Newsfeed, individual site collections, microblogging enabled
4) an Internet based web appln which has geographically spanned users
but the issue is customer is NOT ready to allow us to give space for multiple web applns, they are going to give ONLY ONE web application. because in their existng farm already some . because
so even if i can combine the (1), (2),(3) in one web application, i doubt the (4)th one is not possible.
also the number of docs which would be uploaded/retrieved by end users is 3 to 4 million documents!! so definitely it will cross the
200 GB mark for the content Db limit.
Would like to know whether this is possible
(1) create a single web appln and make 4 site collections and expose the (4)th one - Internet based ?
or
is this a wrong approach that I will be heading into.

I think you might look at the host named site collection

Access to a site from the Internet not working, but is for other sites on the same SP

Greetings,
My environment:
SP 2013 Enterprise w/ SP1 installed
2 servers in the farm, 1 for SQL, 1 for SP
Both servers are VMs running on Hyper-V, SQL is a bit underpowered when it comes to memory, SP is fine
5 web applications running, including a MySites web app and Central Admin (I've seen where separate web apps isn't the recommended configuration any more, but, this is how it was done when setup)
All sites run using SSL (443), same NIC, using host headers, pretty standard stuff (I think)
Claims authentication on all but Central Admin
Central Admin is firewalled off to all but a select few
1 to 1 correspondence between web apps and content databases
Other than MySites, all sites have either 1 or 2 site collections (search is in a separate site collection on 2 of the sites); MySites has many more site collections
So, site A, site B, site C, and site M are all supposed to be available from the Internet (with SSL and authentication) and also from the internal network. For site A, C, and M, this is true, no problem. Site B however doesn't work when coming in from the
Internet, just internally. I've received multiple reports of this from some of my users around the country, and I've been able to replicate it on my computers.
IIS just gives a blank page, no messages, no login. Chrome does present a login box, and will log into the site and work. This is from a laptop that is a part of our domain with cached credentials, but not directly connected to our network or using
our VPN. A non-domain laptop without cached credentials prompts me to login, as it should, and seems to work. The domain laptop will use the cached credentials to auto-authenticate to A, C, and M, but not B.
I'm using IE 11. I've tried putting the site into Compatibility mode, no joy. I've added the site to the Trusted Sites list, no joy. I don't have IE 10 available for testing (or 9 or 8 or ... just 11 :-( ) I've flushed the browser cache, emptied the
cookies, etc.
So, 3 of 4 sites work fine on the same machine, same Internet connection, same browser, same SP. I'm thinking it's something with IE, but, what? Seems like IE should be sending the same creds to all the sites, as they're all in the same Internet domain.
Does IE or Windows cache different creds somewhere? Or is there something in SP? I could see where one person's settings could get hosed somehow, but numerous people around the country with different h/w, different Internet connections, different credentials?
ARGH! HELP!!! Point me at something to look at, because I'm drawing a blank (and getting permanent dents in my forehead from banging it on my keyboard)...
Thanks much,
Steven

It seems that the difference between the sites that will open and the one that won't is the Default Authentication provider is set to NTLM on those that open, and Negotiate (Kerberos) on the one that won't. The Authentication Provider for the Default zone
is Claims Based Authentication on all the sites, just site B (which won't open) is set to Negotiate (Kerberos), the others are set to NTLM.
Short term: can I change the provider to NTLM without destroying the site?
Long term: point me in the direction for setting up Kerberos correctly on my server/farm, as from what I can tell Kerberos is the recommended path forward. I'll setup a non-production test site and get it figured out.
Thanks much.
Steven
