Perfomance issue with SharePoint List.

Current System:
Our application (for submitting and publishing articles) is using WSS 3.0
to store content and host workflows.
Article content like PDFs, Images & Videos are stored in a SharePoint document library.
There is also a list in which we have configured a custom state machine workflow. While creating an list SP item from the UI, instance of the configured workflow instance will be triggered and start monitoring.
Each article belongs to a Journal. We have TBs of data stored in content databases. Initially there was only one site collection (“http://<myweb:8080>/ArtcleLibrary”) and entire article data was storing it the same document library.
Later we decided to split the document library based on journal.
To achieve better scalability, we have now changed the application architecture by creating site collection for each journal and keep article content (there are many articles in a journal) in corresponding site collections. We have added more content databases
and sites collections are equally distributed among these Dbs.
Now it is like (“http://<myweb:8080>/<journalID>/ ArtcleLibrary”)
Actual Problem:
We have achieved scalability in the case of content management by splitting document libraries among different site collections and content databases.
But still the SP list for managing workflow is in the initial site collection (“http://<myweb>:8080/WorkflowTasks”). This single list contains now 60,000 items (=60,000 workflow instances) even if we deleted completed list items older than 3 months.
We have performance issues with the current workflow list. It is taking time (avg 20s) to create/read list item from the SP List. Sometimes items are not getting created in the list item.
From MSDN I came to know than there are recommended count for items in SPList (2000
or 5000 items).
What is the best solution to solve the above performance issue with SharePoint list?
Whether the above mentioned our approach to document library will work for SP list also (means split current SP List and keep in each Journal site collection)?
Please advise.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your post.
I still have some doubts.
If we go like this, will OWSTIMER be able to handle workflows (custom workflow is attached to SP List) of these many site collections. We have now more than 600 site collections.

How to select column dynamically with sharepoint list as data source in ssrs report

Hi all,
I am creating reports from SharePoint list but i have requirements to select the column name dynamically with SharePoint list as data source. I didn't find any way of doing this..
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue..
There is no way of specifying column name dynamically here in data set query
<RSSharePointList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Hi MNRSPDev,
Sorry for the delay.
According to the current description, I understand that you want to specify column name in dataset query designer dynamically when using SharePoint list data source.
Based on my research, this is not supported by default. As a workaround, you can use XML data source. The XML content can be embedded directly within the query. This lets you use the expression capabilities within the processing engine to build queries and
data dynamically within the report. And it can be used for retrieving XML data directly from an external data source, passing it using parameters, and embedding it within the query.

Hope this helps.

Excel Services with SharePoint List Data in SharePoint 2013 - Chart is not refreshing automatically

Hi Everyone,
This is My req: I m going to display pie chart and Bar chart in share point 2013.
Steps I have follwed:
1. Export the list to excel.
2.Using the Power Pivot table I have done the chart.
3. Uploaded into document Library.
4. Added into the web part.
Chart are displaying. But When ever user added the data into the list chart is refreshing.
Is there any option to refresh the data in chart? Waiting for valuable replies.
Regards, Manoj Prabakar

SharePoint lists as data sources in Excel Services is not supported.That's the reason refreshing is not working. There are some work around you can use -
Export as Data Feed - Export your SharePoint list as Data Feed , use this data feed to a PowerPivot for Excel workbook and publish this PowerPivot using Excel Services.
User-defined functions - write UDF in C# and extend the Excel Services functionality to work with SharePoint lists.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb267252(office.12).aspx#Office2007ExcelServicesUnlimited_SharePointLists
Web Services API -
The Web Services API can be used to push data from a database and then refresh the data in a SharePoint Server list by using Excel Services.
JavaScript Object Model - The JavaScript Object Model for Excel Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 provides many solutions for Excel Services.

Issues with SharePoint 2013 after upgrading from windows 2012 to 2012 r2

We have a Sharepoint with Sp1 environment on windows 2012. Recently we upgraded the windows 2012 to 2012 r2. After the upgrade sharepoint environment is completely unstable.
At first all the sites returned 401 errors. After resolving by resetting the object cache accounts the sites are back.
Then i see that none of the performance point dashboards work. I figured that claims to windows token service is defaulted to local system account. I previously configured with a domain account. I reconfigured to work with domain account.
All the dashboard pages throw error.
Some Error logs:Failed to get document content data. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Cannot complete this function at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.GetDocumentContentRow
Application error when access /Dashboards/Performance Dashboard/Main.aspx, Error=The EnableScriptGlobalization property cannot be changed during async postbacks or after the Init event. at System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.set_EnableScriptGlobalization(Boolean
value)
4. I tried to create a new dashboard and this time the performancepoint designer wont launch. After some troubleshooting i see that c2w host file didnot have the caller C:\Program Files\Windows Identity Foundation\v3.5.
I added <add value="WSS_WPG" /> and now it launches
5. Now the Dashboard launches and peruser identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS. I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at the IIS level
yet.
It looks like lot of things got messed up and reset. Can we upgrade to windows 2012 r2 with a sharepoint application inplace. what is the recommended approach and Whats happening with Performancepoint dashboards. IS there a known issue with sharepoint 2013
sp1.
Raj-Shpt

Thanks for the above article. Few issues are solved . One of the main issue is with Performancepoint Dashboard.
I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at
the IIS level yet. Still per user identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS.

SSRS reporting with sharepoint list using Distinct and Multivalue parameters

i want create ssrs report with sharepoint list using ms-vs(2008). i want create Distinct multivalue parameters by using CAML query. There is any way we put CAML query where we use Distinct keyword and IN clause in CAML query... i hope all experts will
understand my poor English... sorry for poor English.. plz help me

Hi AsifMehmood,
Per my understanding you have create an SSRS report with SharePoint list, now you don’t know to create the distinct parameters by using CAML query, right?
For the CAML language doesn’t have any reserved word (or tag) to set this particular filter to remove duplicate results, but we can use the custom code to do this function. I have tested on my local environment and we can do that by create one hidden parameter(Param1)
to get all the values from the fields which will add the filter and then create another parameter(Param2) to get the distinct values based on the Param1, we use the custom code to do the deduplication.
Step by Steps information in below thread for your reference to create the parameters and the custom code:
"How to get distinct values of sharepoint column using SSRS"
Other similar thread for your reference:
https://audministrator.wordpress.com/2014/02/17/sharepoint-list-add-distinct-parameter-value/
If your problem still exists, please feel free to ask and also try to provide us more details information.

Excel 2010 Synchronize List with SharePoint List using VBA

I have used and loved the interaction between Excel and SharePoint for many generations of both solutions. It's a wonderful opportunity to integrate the familiarity and simplicity of Excel (formatting, ease of use, availability) with the data storage
and centralized list capabilities of SharePoint. Right?
When upgrading to Excel 2010, I have noticed with much dismay that much of the inherent easy to use features of previous versions were effectively stripped from this newest version. Much research, time and energy has been spent working around and resolving
the deficiency. One Microsoft based article,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930006, has provided the mechanics behind utilizing the "hidden" functionality... although, this capability to use VBA to create the synchronized list was available in previous versions. However, once Microsoft
published this article to this "hidden" functionality... I feel that the behavior should be supported by Microsoft in some way. OK?
Revised instructions to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a SharePoint list with 20 dummy records.
- Note the List Name ##LIST_NAME##
- Note the View GUID ##VIEW_GUID##
- Note SharePoint Base URL ##BASE_URL##
2. REVISED... In Excel 2010, save the file as Compatible "Excel 97-2003 Workbook". Close the file and reopen.  Create a connected table (ListObject) in Excel using the article above to the SharePoint list. Use Sample VBA code
below:
Sub LinkedSharePointList()
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add SourceType:=xlSrcExternal,_
    Source:=Array(##BASE_URL## & "/_vti_bin", ##LIST_NAME##, _
    ##VIEW_GUID##), LinkSource:=True, Destination:=Range("A1")
End Sub
3. OOPS REVISED this item. The problem is actually with ROW 21... So, update record on row 21... (no matter where the table is located... (if the "Destination" is "A1", then the problem is with ID=20, but if the Table is
shifted down to say A12, then ID=9 on row 21). Anyway... make a simple change to that record... and you'll see the ID immediately change.... as if it's a NEW record. WEIRD! Note: If the sheet is protected, then an error is displayed
indicating that a "read-only" record cannot be updated (referring to the ID cell in column A for the current row).
4. Now "synchronize" the list with excel. The former record is still in the list unchanged AND there is a NEW record in the list holding the changes. There are a number of problems that seem to ONLY occur when something changes to ROW
21.... Next, try to copy/paste multiple records across multiple rows that intersect with ROW 21. Yikes!!
I look forward to hearing others' experience!
Thanks!
Mark

IS there a way to fix the issue with text list boxes where they shift (empty space is smaller than the text size) when two text lsit boxes are side by side?

Currently I have a webpage I designed for a company where I have multiple text list boxes side by side for the purpose of displaying data in each one based on a category in the database. So a text list box for the primary key, name, serial number, etc. I have to use Firefox as it typically works best for printing and functionality for the page. The single issue we are having is that in Firefox if the field is null as far as text the text are shrinks meaning all the data in that list box shifts up and is no longer in line with its congruent data in the other text list boxes. In other browsers that's not a problem and everything stays lined up regardless of whether there's text in the box or not.
Unfortunately I cannot provide a link but if contacted I will provide screen shots.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

Use parameters in SQL Server reporting services with sharepoint lists

I want to make report from sharepoint 2010 list and forms library in sql server reporting services.
but also want to apply parameters.
I tried but parameters but it is not working.
How I can apply sharepoint lists parameters in sql server reporting services ?
How to run or view report of sharepoint lists or form library in sqlserver reporting services with required parameters?

Hi John,
When we use SharePoint list as datasource in SSRS it has two method to add parameter. Suppose we have a dataset (DataSet1) get data from SharePoint list. Please refer to the methods below.
Method 1: We can add parameter in the Query Designer dialog box to add parameter.
Click “Add Filter” icon in the “Applied filters” dialog box in Query Designer.
Select the corresponding field (Title), fill with specific conditions, and select Parameter option in the end of the row.
Create a dataset (DataSet2) fill with Title field.
Double click the parameter we create above, set the available values from DataSet2 field Title.
(Note: In the situation, we are get the single-value parameter.)
Method 2: It is a general method to add parameter in SSRS report.
Create another dataset (DataSet2) in the report fill with Title field.
Add a parameter (Title) get available values from DataSet2 Title field.
Add filter in the DataSet1.
(Note: This method, we can configure multi-values parameter.)

RDP Users seeing display issues with SharePoint Online Template

I originally posted this in the SharePoint Online forums, but they referred me to the RDP forums as it appears to be an issue with RDP, not SharePoint Online: Original
Post
I've been able to verify this only happens in RDP when opening a Word Template with embedded Excel table from SharePoint Online within the local Word 2010 application.

Amy,
Thank you for the input. Its rather odd, but it appears the users who are seeing this problem are connecting via RDP on laptops with widescreens, with screen resolution set much higher than the 1290x1084 we use on the terminal servers. Turning
the resolution down on the laptops did keep the table from becoming oversized and most of it running off edge of document.
However, it appears even turning down the resolution of the client machine still affects how the font is displayed in the document. The font size and type are different than the template document, they get saved that way and appear that way to other users
who do have their screen resolution set correctly. It seems there is something else going on here, thoughts?

Work Manager Configuration Issue with SharePoint 2013

Hi,
We are facing issue to configure the Workflow Manager with SharePoint 2013.
===========================================================
Please provide any solution/inputs to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you configured Workflow Manager for SharePoint 2013.
For resolving your issue, please do as the followings:
1.Start -> Programs -> Workflow Manager 1.0 -> Workflow Manager Configuration -> Remove from Farm (not to be confused with SharePoint “farm”)
2.Drop SQL databases for Workflow Manager. (SbGatewayDatabase, SbManagementDB, SBMessageContainer01, WFInstanceManagementDB, WFManagementDB, WFResourceManagementDB)
3.Start-> Programs-> Workflow Manager 1.0 -> Workflow Manager Configuration -> Configure Workflow Manager with Default Settings (Recommended)
4.Ran the wizard just like before and it should be completed successfully this time.
More information, please refer to the link below:

Error message when attempting to sync with SharePoint List

When I attempt to Validate the URL in Project so that I can sync my work to a SharePoint List I receive the error message shown below. I have tried using both the regular URL and I tried TinyURL as well to see if the error was due to sheer length. I have
confirmed that the site is valid and is available. No matter what I get the following message. I have also ensured that my permission settings are all set to 'Full Access' and so I do not believe that this is the result of permission settings. Can anyone
provide some guidance as to why this message appears?
Error message:
*The SharePoint site is invalid
*The SharePoint site is currently unavailable

Issues with Simple Lists in service requests

We are using Service Manager 2012 and have run into a problem with simple lists within the service requests we created. We believe the issues started after we upgraded to Service Manager SP1 and Silverlight 5.1. What happens is you can select
one of the options in the simple list, but if you decide to change back to the original option, the system won't allow it. In the case where there might be three options in the simple list (i.e. New, Change, Delete), you can select each one once, but
if we try to change it back to any of the other options the system won't allow it. We tested all of this before going live and everything was working, but just before we went live SP1 came out and so we elected to upgrade to it first. We then needed
to upgrade to Silverlight SP1 to work with Service Manager SP1. We retested all of our service requests again just before going live, but didn't think we needed to go through every simple list so we didn't retest this. Since then the simple lists
are problematic. Has anyone else experienced this and if so is there a fix that will correct this issue?

Yes!
We submitted a business impact statement back in February and after pushing them on a weekly basis, we finally received word that we will be receiving a hot fix next week. Until we actually receive the hot fix and confirm that it works, I will wait
to post another update on this.
With that said, they came up with a temporary workaround about 2-3 weeks ago. This is the message regarding the temporary fix that we received from the engineer that has been working on the issue:
After doing code review I identified the regression was introduced in the binaries that are included as part of this Silverlight XAP file:
RequestOfferingSilverlightModule.xap. As we discussed on the phone going back to the pre SP1 version means you will lose any enhancements/fixes that were introduced in SP1. Looking at the Change history for this module I only see two changes
that were introduced in SP1 and those changes are as follows:
The text field control only shows the first three lines.
Hierarchical support for List Items in Portal
To confirm my findings I replaced this XAP file with a pre SP1 version and I couldn’t repro the issue in my lab. I also confirmed implementing this module I lose the
above fixes that were introduced in Sp1.
To implement the workaround, please follow the below steps:
Connect to the Web Content Server, locate the following directory:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\System Center Service Manager Portal\ContentHost\Clientbin
Rename the following file RequestOfferingSilverlightModule.xap
to RequestOfferingSilverlightModule.xap.org
Copy the attached file RequestOfferingSilverlightModule.xap to the folder:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\System Center Service Manager Portal\ContentHost\Clientbin
Restart IIS by issuing the following command at the command prompt:
iisreset
Clear the client side cache and see if you can reproduce the issue.
Once confirmed the issue doesn’t reproduce, please proceed with testing all scenarios that make use of the Self Service Portal.
If you don't have the pre SP1 version of the file I'm sure you can get it from Microsoft. We are not using hierarchical lists so the temporary fix is currently working for us without any issues.

SSRS Clustered Column Report with SharePoint List

Hi Guys,
I have a SharePoint List which has 3 columns: Team Status Date and i want to generate clustere column chart using SSRS report. Could you please provide me steps for the same?
X Axis - All the teams
Y Axis - Count
Legends
1. Pending - status <> "Completed"
2. Task Overdue - status <> "Completed" && (Date == Today between Date == Today - 30
please find attached sample of report.
This is what I have tried so far...
I just need help on forming expression.
Thanks, Nilesh

Hi Nilesh,
According to your description, you want to use a SharePoint list as datasource then create a chart.
In your scenario, we can add a calculated field which includes “pending” and “Task Overdue”. Then add the calculated field to the Series Groups panel. Please refer to the steps and results below:
1. Add a calculated field and specify the value with the expression below:
=switch(Fields!status.Value <> "Completed" and Fields!Date.Value <= now() and Fields!Date.Value >= dateadd("d",-30,now()),"TaskOverdue",Fields!status.Value <> "compeleted","pending")
2. Design the report like below and preview the report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

RadAjaxManager issues with sharepoint 2010

I have two asp panels with ID's Panelcombo and PanelGrid .Panelcombo contains 6 comboxes and Panel Grid contains 1 radgrid. After filling all comboboxes I am showing Radgrid.I have RadAjaxManger with the following setting
<telerik:RadAjaxManager
ID="ajman"
runat="server">
    <AjaxSettings>
        <telerik:AjaxSetting
AjaxControlID="Panelcombo">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl
ControlID="Panelcombo"/>
                  <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl
ControlID="PanelGrid"/>
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
</AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManager>
                   Radgrid contains RadNumerictextbox which has Client event as follows
<ClientEvents
OnValueChanged="ValueChanged"
/>
                 which is not firing.
When I remove the RadAjaxManager event fires perfectly.After debugging using firebug it gives error on console
"Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed. Common causes for this error are when the response is modified by calls to Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace
is enabled"
I have tested my code(with RadAjaxManager) in visual studio it works perfectly.But it gives error in sharepoint 2010 environment .
For your reference http://www.telerik.com/forums/radajaxmanager-issues-with-client-side-event-of-radgrid

Hi,
I would suggest you do as follows:
1. Test your code in a ASP.NET Web Application project to see if the same error still exists;
2. Please apply other OOTB master pages to your site for a test;
3. As the limited resource we may have, it would be better to get a sample solution which can work in SharePoint 2010 environment from its official website, then deploy it to
your environment to see if it is an issue of your master page.
Feel free to reply with the test result or if there any progress.
Best regards,
Patrick
