IM+ for Skype web app

Has anyone used the IM+ for Skype web app yet? I'm curious as to how well it works and actually how it works. I haven't been able to catch any of my friends online at the same time. I don't know if I need to purchase a subscription before I can even talk with skype users on their computer.

Hey. I'm temporarily living in China and I bought the IM+ $25.00 deal...registered it, and even bought skype credits.
I, too, tried testing it. I called my skype home phone and the skype home phone did ring but I couldn't hear it ringing through the iphone...it was like the iphone was dead.
I answered the skype home phone and I also couldn't hear anything in the iphone. So basically the IM+ on the iphone just calls but you never here it calling and you never hear the voice on the other side answering. I tried texting a friend here but he wasn't at his computer so I don't know if that works better.
Since my iphone is new and I haven't made any calls on it, I thought maybe I had the volume down or something, but doubt that's the case since I couldn't hear my voice on the skype home phone.
Maybe I jumped the gun in buying the IM+ too soon, but how cool will it be to get calls from people back home in the States or really anywhere else for dirt cheap?
I also tried the opposite by calling the iphone from my skype home phone. The iphone acknowledged an incoming call with a message on the iphone that told me to wait for the connection, but the calling home skype phone had no sound and no indication it was trying to connect on my iphone. In other words, anyone calling is going to hang up before it connects if it has a delay in connecting and doesn't tell you it's trying to connect.
I hope they fix this stuff. Using US mobile phones in China costs a small fortune and is really backwards compared to Europe and a lot of other places.
Has anyone used it successfully yet.

How can I create an auto-incrementing ID field for a web app?

I have a web app for a project database. Customers can login and add a new record to the web app. We need it to provide each new project with a unique and sequential number. The BC ID number for each web app item is unique but of course not sequential (and too long). So for example the client would like all project IDs to be 4 digits starting from 1000. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Kapowaz,
Just thinking out loud, I wonder if you could use an Automator action to find the last invoice created and open a new file with a name based on incrementing a part of last file's filename. This would make the filename the same as the invoice number and you would still have to transfer the file's name to the content of the file.
If I had this need, I think I would create an Invoice Log document. It would be easy to have a table into which you would enter identifying data and date and have the table generate a new invoice number that you could paste into the current invoice document. It would kill two birds with one stone if you need an index of your invoices.

Load balancing and HA for office web apps server Lync 2013

Hi,
I have 12000 users, 3 FE servers in a pool, 2 edge server in a pool, HA required, IM/presence, A/V, WEb conferencing required. plan to have 2 office web apps server a farm with HA, below are my queries
1. which type of load balancing i need....DNS or HLB for office web app servers? if its HLB then is it mandatory?
2. i have already 2 HLB for FE pool .. one for externa url , one for internal URL...can i use the same HLB for office web app servers ?
3. one more question regarding EDGE pool load balancing, can i use the same HLB in EDge pool also that i am using for FE pool?

Hi,
1. which type of load balancing i need....DNS or HLB for office web app servers? if its HLB then is it mandatory?
WebApps runs on https and you cannot load balance http traffic using DNS load balancing. you need to have a HLB.
2. i have already 2 HLB for FE pool .. one for externa url , one for internal URL...can i use the same HLB for office web app servers ?
you can use the same HLB for that
3. one more question regarding EDGE pool load balancing, can i use the same HLB in EDge pool also that i am using for FE pool?
for that one, you probably need a separate HLB.

Falied "Configure OLAP cubes for Project Web App" in Project Server 2013

Hi
I'm trying to use the PS2013's capability for generate SSAS Cubes; but after I execute
the steps described on “Configure OLAP cubes for Project Web App (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj943761.asp)” the only thing
achieved is that the state being "Processing…" and the log:
===== Initiating OLAP database build process =====

When I check the jobs, the one who is associated with the cube creation is on "Succeeded" state but the OLAP database is never created. There is no evidence I think on the Sharepoint log.

CMS for JSF Web App

Hello Experts,
I am new to Java Web Development, just moving from PHP, HTML, CSS and JS.
Normally, when I build web apps.. I create a simple CMS using PHP and MySQL for the website. So am wondering if there is a CMS for JSF Web Apps.
I am new, so am open to suggestions and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Shina

There is Flexive. http://www.flexive.org/
But like Java itself, it is aimed more at enterprise solutions and thus is far more complex than your average PHP CMS "solution".

Incoming Email not working for one web app, but IS working for others in same farm.

I have enabled incoming email in a large multi-web application farm running SharePoint 2013 SP1 and the Feb 2015/March 2015 CUs that were pushed down in Windows Updates. It works just fine for two web applications, but it will not work for one particular
web application. I see the email land in the /drop folder. If I remove the email address from the library in http://nonworkingapp web
application and use it on a library in a http://working web application, then the email is processed successfully. Conversely,
if I take an address from a library in http://working and move it to a library inhttp://nonworkingapp it
does not work. I've tried multiple site collections on http://nonworkingapp. This rules out any SMTP issues, etc. and means
the issue is bound to this web application. Permissions are the same between the "non-working" and "working" locations: domain users are members on the site, and the library inherits permissions from the site. The App Pool and Timer
Service accounts have rights to the folder and to the library.
The error in the ULS log is the typical error processing message, but it gives no additional information even though I have enabled Verbose logging.
The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch. The elapsed time was 00:00: 00.0156294. The service processed 2 message(s) in total. Errors occurred processing 2 message(s): Message ID: Message
ID:
Typically, you see "alias not found" or some permissions or quota issue here, but this issue is NOT the same as those. In this case NO additional information is provided in ULS.
Edit: running stsadm.exe -o refreshdms -url http://one/failing/site fixed some similar issues where "Unknown alias" was
reported even though the list did have an alias (see here:http://blogs.technet.com/b/vinitt/archive/2009/07/15/e-mail-enabled-list-alias-information-is-not-synchronized-between-configuration-database-and-content-database.aspx).
This did not fix the issue for the case mentioned above.
What could possibly be the issue preventing incoming email from working on this one web application?

Thanks for your reply. Incoming E-Mail was running on all 3 WFE, however I do not think this was the cause. As noted, _other_ emails send to http://workingapp are working just fine. I can send two emails - one to a library on http://workingapp
and another on http://notworkingapp. The email to http://notworkingapp will sit in the drop folder, while the one to http://workingapp will be processed correctly. In addition, the ULS log on WFE1 indicates an attempt to process the file fails.
So clearly, the timer job on WFE1 is running and attempting to process the file. For kicks, I disabled the service on WFE2 and WFE3, but with no change in the behavior.
WRT to #1, I have done this already (as noted in the original post). I can remove an alias from http://workingapp and place it on http://nonworkingapp and it is not processed. If I return it to http://workingapp it is processed. In other
words, I go into Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a working library, and copy the alias, then disable incoming email for that library. I then go to Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a non-working library, enable incoming email, and paste
the alias. Once done, emails sent to the alias are not processed. I then do the reverse, and it works again.
On #2, I have already tried multiple libraries on http://nonworkingapp (also as noted in the original post).
In my environment, incoming email does not work for any library on http://nonworkingapp, but does work for any library on http://workingapp. Troubleshooting listed above has ruled out any problem with basic mail server configuration or library settings
- the problem is bound to http://nonworkingapp
I'm not sure what you mean by "steps to reproduce the issue". If I knew that, I would probably be able to solve the issue. The best I could come up with to describe the situation would be:
Set up SP 2010 in a three-node configuration with multiple web apps
Enable incoming email and confirm it works
Migrate to a SP2013 SP1 farm in a three node configuration.
Enable a new email alias for a library
Observe that it doesn't work for one web application.
Obviously, it's pretty unlikely that attempting that in a lab would actually have the same result.

Need best-practice for Kodo web apps

Please forgive this question from a JDO newbie if it is already answered
elsewhere (if so please let me know, I can't find it)...
We are building an enterprise application consisting of multiple
cooperating web-apps, one servlet per web app. Following the classic MVC
pattern (using Struts) we have the servlets operating as controllers that
concurrently field requests from multiple users. In response to each
concurrent request the servlets instantiate the corresponding command
instances to process the requests. The command objects then interact with
a common shared model implemented as a collection of persistent "model"
objects and business rules. Finally, the commands then create java beans
that are sent to JSPs for display to the users.
No problem thus far - we have successfully used Kodo to implement the
architecture described above. To date we have used a single persistance
manager (PM) that is global to the servlets, existing as long as the
application is running. Although this works, I believe that it won't
scale for concurrent access by multiple users (correct me if I am wrong)
since a PM has one and only one database connection. Our concern however
is regarding persistance managers verses multiple user concurrent access
to the common model (i.e., one user can update information which is then
displayed to all other users).
I believe the answer is in using multiple PMs, but how should the PMs be
allocated? One per user stored in the user's session? If so, how do
multiple users share access to the same model instances? My mental model
is that a PM is like a "sandbox" - objects in one sandbox cannot see
objects existing in another PM's "sandbox". Is that true?
I know this is a long winded question. I was hoping to provide enough
context so someone could suggest a PM utilization that scales well for
applications like ours.
Any help/suggestions is GREATLY appreciated!
Steve

Distributed sessions for multiple web-apps in a single App. Server (v.8.1)

I have 3 applications on App. Server 8.1 (running on JDK 1.5)
App-A handles login
App-B and App-C are functions that are accessible after login is validated.
It works fine with App. Server 6.5 (JDK 1.3)
But the distributed session cannot be shared in App. Server 8.1 (JDK 1.5)
So App-A handles sign on and stores the user's Login Name on the session.
App-B and App-C read the user's login name from the session object and grant access to different modules.
1. Starting App-A and perform login
2. Starting App-B from App-A (it is linked there)
3. Starting App-C from App-A (it is linked there)
In step 1, a new session is created for the user, an attribute ("LoginName") is put in the session - ie. using HttpSession.setAttribute()
In step 2, the program checks for attribute "LoginName" from the session object - ie. using HttpSession.getAttribute()
If not found, redirect to login; if found, then continue with App-B
In step 3, same as in step 2 above.
It works fine with App. Server 6.5 but problem occurs in step 2 and 3.
web.xml of App-A, App-B and App-C:
<i>
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
<display-name>App-A</display-name>
<distributable/>
</i>
sun-web.xml of App-A, App-B and App-C
<i>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE sun-web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 8.1 Servlet 2.4//EN" "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_4-1.dtd">

</manager-properties>

<property name="persistenceScope" value="session"/>

</i>

Distributed sessions has nothing to do with different web applications. The concept is about distributing load for the same application between several appserver instances running on the same box(different jvm) or on some other box in the network.
What you used with iAS 6.5 is not available in 8.1 because sharing sessions between web apps is forbidden by the servlet spec. You should consider repackaging your apps. into a single web app. or using other way of signing/verifying user identity(check Sun Access Manager for example).

Problem setting up handlers for Jetty web app

Hello,
I am encountering a problem with setting up the handlers for my web application, what I want is : Having some requests handled by an HTTPServlet with doGet and doPost methods ( how can I load JSP pages from within these methods ? ) and also be able to load static content ( html, JS, CSS )
The way I'm setting it right now, I can only have one or the other, I cannot get both working.
I will explain :
    Server server = new Server(5000);
   // This is the resource handler for JS & CSS
    ResourceHandler resourceHandler = new ResourceHandler();
    resourceHandler.setResourceBase(".");
    resourceHandler.setDirectoriesListed(false);
   // This is the context handler for the HTTPServlet
    ServletContextHandler context = new ServletContextHandler(ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);
    context.setContextPath("/");
    context.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new Main()),"/*");
   // this is the Handler list for both handlers
    HandlerList handlerList = new HandlerList();
    handlerList.setHandlers(new Handler[] { context ,resourceHandler});
     If I add them in this order, all requests will be handled by the "context" and no static resource is loaded
     If I invert the order, the index page page is loaded by the resource handler, which means, If I activate directory listings, it gives me a list of all directories, otherwise it's just a blank page
     I tried working with a WebAppContext to load JSP pages but I still had some problems with which handler should handle which requests
    server.setHandler(handlerList);
    server.start();
    server.join();
Thank you

Change CSS styles for Acces Web App

Here's the problem, the #s4-mini-header needs to be set to display:none so the SharePoint header is not shown. Ideally this would be conditional based on group membership (i.e. Site Owners would see the section, for read only it would be hidden)
I need to block the "Open in Access" option allows people with read only access to open my database on their local systems. We're publishing a "member" price list and do not want someone to be able to download the whole list
and share it with our competitors.
I've seen quite a few posts on this without solution. The most common is that "MS is aware of the issue".
I should be able to hid it in CSS if I can find the file and edit it. It appears to be using the minimal.master mater page. SharePoint designer is not allowed to open the site, is this something I need Visual Studio to do?
I've been given a deadline of today to make the site available for our partners so it looks like they'll get the Options header..
Thanks for any help!

I have found a KLUDGE that solves this particular problem. Unfortunately it impacts all of the access websites served by that IIS server.
The problem is that the default.aspx page created when the Access Web App is published has the MasterPageFile value set to point to a file named minimal.master located in \15\TEMPLATE\GGLOBAL. That file is loaded by the default
page. I couldn't find the default.aspx file to edit so I did the next best thing: I modified the minimal.master file.
To repeat, the one big gotcha is that changing the file at that location applies the change to ALL access web apps on the IIS server.
I added style="display:none !important" to the first s4-pr div and the banner was removed.
A more elegant solution would have been to edit the default.aspx file but I couldn't find it. If someone comes up with a better way to do this please post it!
Thanks for all who helped!

High Availibity solution for office web app server 2013 for Sharepoint 2013

I have a scenario with the three nodes SP1 , SP2 and DR-SP with server 2012 standard, each running SharePoint 2013 enterprise, All of three nodes are members of single SharePoint farm that spans two data centers.Primary Data Center have two nodes SP1 , SP2
and DR data center have one node DR-SP of share point 2013.
For Office webapp server i have two nodes OWA1, and DR-OWA with server 2012 standard, that spans between two data centers.Primary Data Center have OWA1 and DR data center have one node DR-OWA of office web app server.
Currently i have configured office web app on primary data center node OWA .How i can enable high availability of office web app server in case of primary data center outage.Please guide.

WAC servers on a single farm must be in the same data center. The WAC configuration you've proposed is unsupported. Build a separate WAC farm in the secondary data center and attach it to the SharePoint farm only in the event of a disaster.

Using URL Rewrite for HNSC Web App

Greetz!
I'm using host named site collections in my deployment of 2013 Enterprise. I've got a single web app, on the default zone, that was created on port 443 with the -SecureSocketLayer parameter. How can I seamlessly redirect users accessing a HNSC with http
to the correct (and only) https url? I'm using the URL Rewrite 2.0 with IIS 8.5.
I have the following rule in place but it is still throwing a 404 on pages. Is this able to work with Host Named Site Collections and does it matter that I've installed the Web App on 443 without having it on 80 first? It shouldn't but SharePoint has
surprised me before ;):
<rule name="SSL Redirect" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="(.*)" />
                <conditions>
                    <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="https://{SERVER_NAME}" redirectType="Found" />

Also, after you provisioned PWA, are you able to get to the server settings? Did you do any configurations with PWA or using the defaults?
Are you trying to add the project using the FarmAdmin account or did you add yourself as a resource with project manager role?
