SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server 2012 PPIV - using a PPIV workbook as a data source - getting PPIV web service error

I created a PowerPivot (SQL Server 2012 SP1) workbook and uploaded it to SharePoint 2010 Portal and started using it as a data source in an excel file. This worked fine and we saw no issues with it until we moved to SharePoint 2013 environment.
I uploaded the same PowerPivot workbook (source workbook) to SharePoint 2013 Portal and now trying to use it as a data source. I tried to change connection properties so that I could use the new portal address for the workbook. When
I try to save my changes, I see that OLAP queries are getting fired "Refreshing OLAP cube" shows up in the status bar, but eventually after running these OLAP queries (I would say after a minute), I get the following error -
Couldn't find anything specific in SharePoint logs or maybe I wasn't looking for the right thing.
Has anyone seen this issue? Why would PPIV service throw an error after running for a while? Is it a timeout issue of some kind? How can we take care of this?
Thanks,
Sonal

ULS log showed the following exception: The maximum number of allowed sessions per user has been exceeded.
Under Excel Services global settings, max limit is set. Default is 25, increasing it resolved this issue.
Thanks,
Sonal

  • SharePoint 2013 SQL Server Edition for BI Features - must be on SharePoint SQL Server?

    I need to install SQL Server 2012 for a new SharePoint 2013 installation.
    Let's say I want to use the BI features of SharePoint 2013 like PowerView.
    I already have a separate SQL Server running SQL Server 2012 BI Edition that is used as the database server for our data warehouse and some apps.  But this SQL Server will not be used to house the SharePoint 2013 databases.
    Do I need to install SQL Server 2013 BI Edition on the SharePoint 2013 SQL Server (where the SharePoint 2013 databases will be housed) or can I used SQL Server 2013 Standard Edition on that server and utilize the BI Edition on the data warehouse server to
    use the BI features of SharePoint?

    Yes, BI or Enterprise must be installed on the SharePoint server in order to integrate SSRS. PowerPivot can be on a separate server with just a download (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35577) for certain components residing on
    the SharePoint server. This will give you PowerView, as well.

  • SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server BCS Model Incremental Crawl content doesnt show up in Search results

    SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server BCS Model Incremental Crawl content doesn't show up in Search results, Incremental crawl is working fine, i.e., its picking up newly added records in table to the Search, but the newly added content is not available in search
    results page.
    But when i do a Full Crawl, search results are showing up with appropriate content.
    What could be the issue here?
    Suresh Kumar Udatha.

    This time on the Full crawl I got only 62 warnings and 12 errors and ~537.000 success. Warnings were about truncating the crawl documents because their content length exceed the configured for crawl. The 12 errors were "Processing this item failed because
    of a timeout when parsing its contents." and "The content processing pipeline failed to process the item.". I think 12 errors is not much to re-execute full crawl. Site collection has one SP Site Group (with Read Permission Level). In this site group I have
    only one AD Group added, so permission change is not a possible reason for re-crawl, plus nobody changed anything in this ad group. All documents are stored in 2 document libraries and there are no sub-sites. I want to access these documents trough search
    (custom managed property restriction kql) but this way I have no mechanism to fast re-crawl only error documents from the first full-crawl (those 12). This is very strange and put SP 2013 Search almost unusable for my scenario.

  • Error rsItemNotFound when using ReportingService2010 endpoint in SharePoint Mode (SQL Server 2012 & SP2013)

    Hi all,
    I installed SQL Server 2012 in SharePoint Mode, with SharePoint 2013 on a Windows Server 2012 virtual machine. The issue occurs when I try to use the ListChildren operation of the ReportService2010 endpoint.
    It manages to connect to the server, but it refuses to list any children. Here's the code I'm using:
    using System;
    using System.Net;
    internal class Test
    public static void Main()
    var rs = new ReportingService2010
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "machine")
    CatalogItem[] items = null;
    // Retrieve a list of all items from the report server database.
    try
    items = rs.ListChildren("/", true);
    catch (Exception e)
    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
    When executed, this code throws an exception (which is caught and displayed) : "The item '/' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound)"
    The same code works (i.e. does not throw any exception and the items variable contains some CatalogItem) when used against a SQL Server 2012 configured in native mode.
    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, maybe the first parameter shouldn't be "/" but something else?
    Thanks for your help

    I'm getting this error as well.  My test software is connecting to two different servers; one is running on SharePoint 2010 and I have no problems using the ReportingService2010 functions on that, but I am getting this same error when trying to connect

  • SharePoint 2013 + SQL Server 2008 vs 2012

    I am trying to determine the best course of action when building a new SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Farm. Should we use SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2012? I have found some information online, but I wanted to know if there were more pros and cons to SQL
    2012 over 2008. Can anyone tell me if my short list is adequate enough? Also, are there any integration concerns with other applications that I may need to look out for by using SQL 2012 that don't exist in SQL 2008?
    The list of benefits of SQL 2012 over SQL 2008 I know of include:
    AlwaysOn
    Read-Only Secondary
    Contained Database
    ColumnStore Indexes
    Shredded Storage
    PowerPivot BI
    Reporting Services BI
    Are there any negatives to using SQL 2012?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Alex,
    The only negatives I have seen are 
    1. You must be careful that the AOAG configuration is supported. For many cases like the config DB, Async mode is not supported for DR.
    2. Microsoft has not published their support stance for Many DBs yet.
    So for example for "App Management Service Application" DB or "Secure Store" DB Microsoft says 
    To be determined. Currently not supported because testing is not finished.
    For a complete list look here
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj841106.aspx
    So although AOAG is a great option technically (and perhaps in the long run the strategic option) I would like Microsoft to complete their testing. (unless one is ready to take risk and go where MS itself hasn't gone)

    Hey David,
    I checked the drive and share permissions, and the service account for SQL Server, in this case named "sqlsvc" has been granted full permission to both.  I tried the script but it also failed, the code is below:

  • SharePoint 2013 & SQL Server Reporting Services

    Hi there,
    We are developing a web application in sharepoint 2013 in which we are using authentication mode="Windows”.  We have used a custom web part containing report viewer control for showing charts and reports, that we have
    developed using SSRS ( *.rdl files) and have all the .rdl files within Sharepoint Document Library.
    To start with, we were getting the error “Report Server has encountered a SharePoint error. (rsSharePointError) The user does not exist or is not unique.” To fix this, we changed <identity impersonate="false"
    /> from <identity impersonate="true" /> at web.config level which did the trick.
    However, we are now facing another issue wherein tabular reports are renedered ok in SharePoint through report viewer custom web part but chart based reports are not rendered. The chart image is not displayed.  
    Can somebody please help with a resolution?
    The code snippet for rendering the report is given below for reference purposes
    Thanks in advance

  • SQL server 2012 Ent using less memory than the allocated amount after enabling -T834

    I am facing the situation mentioned here.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2009/06/05/sql-server-and-large-pages-explained.aspx
    My SQL Server 2012 is not able to use all the 112 GB RAM that was allocated to it after enabling -T834.
    This was not the case earlier. Now I see the Total server memory and target server memory counters are just 27 GB constantly. I found the below error while starting SQL after enabling -T834. I restarted services again and this time it started fine. But I
    didnt bother about the error untill users complained slowness and SQL memory usage was found to be low.
     Detected 131068 MB of RAM. This is an informational message; no user action is required.
     Using large pages in the memory manager.
     Large Page Allocated: 32MB
     Large page allocation failed during memory manager initialization
     Failed to initialize the memory manager
     Failed allocate pages: FAIL_PAGE_ALLOCATION 2
     Error: 17138, Severity: 16, State: 1.
     Unable to allocate enough memory to start 'SQL OS Boot'. Reduce non-essential memory load or increase system memory.
    Now, SQL is started by its Total server memory is only 27 GB. How can I make SQL server use all the allocated max server memory with -T834 still on ?
    Bharath Kumar ------------- Please mark solved if I've answered your question, vote for it as helpful to help other user's find a solution quicker

    Hi Bharath , 
    in the below post the scenario is mentioned clearly 
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2009/06/05/sql-server-and-large-pages-explained.aspx
    Unable to allocate enough memory to start 'SQL OS Boot'. Reduce non-essential memory load or increase system memory.
    This shows one of the problems with large pages: the memory size requested must be contiguous. This is called out very nicely at the MSDN
    article on Large Pages
    These memory regions may be difficult to obtain after the system has been running for a long time because the space for each large page must be contiguous, but the memory may have become fragmented. This is an expensive operation;
    therefore, applications should avoid making repeated large page allocations and allocate them all one time at startup instead.
    In this case above, even if ‘max server memory’ was set to say 8Gb, the server could only allocate 2Gb and that now becomes a maximum allocation for the buffer pool. Remember we don’t grow the buffer pool when using large pages so whatever memory we allocate
    at startup is the max you get.
    The other interesting thing you will find out with large pages is a possible slowdown in server startup time. Notice in the ERRORLOG entry above the gap of 7 minutes between the server discovering trace flag 834 was on (the "Using large pages..” message)
    and the message about how much large memory was allocated for the buffer pool. Not only does it take a long time to call VirtualAlloc() but in the case where we cannot allocate total physical memory or ‘max server memory” we attempt to allocate lower values
    several times before either finding one that works or failing to start. We have had some customers report the time to start the server when using trace flag 834 was over 30 minutes.
    regards,

  • Sharepoint 2013 + Windows Server 2012 as reverse proxy

    Hello All -
    I'd like to ask if anyone has any experience with the new Windows Server 2012 (reverse) proxy, in providing a single sign-on service to Sharepoint 2013.
    Scenario:
    My client has a Sharepoint 2013 with 3 web applications (portal, teamsites, mysites). All three URLs are available externally via HTTPS only. All clients have AD credentials (no requirement for claims based authentication), although this includes 3 domains
    in two different forests (trusts exist). Everything is already configured to allow clients access from domain-joined devices.
    My client would like mobile devices (not domain-joined) to be able to access the three web applications without repeated logon prompts. Browser default settings must be used, they do not want to instruct people to perform any configuration on their mobile
    device - it all has to work "out of the box" from the client side. Clients will be using iPads and iPhones with Safari, Windows Phones, Androids etc.
    I'm considering proposing the use of a reverse-proxy, and rather than using the now depracated Forefront TMG or probably soon-to-be depracated UAG, I would like to jump straight in to the new and very cool looking Windows 2012 proxy server.
    It's my understanding that this will provide a single sign-on service in this scenario. I'm unsure whether an ADFS server is also required even for pass-through, the information available is unclear, and also whether any special configuration is required
    to a domain controller (DCs in the environment are all 2008R2, with 2008R2 functional level).
    I would appreciate it if anyone could give an overview or point me in the direction of some accurate documentation regarding all of the above. Most importantly, if any of my assumptions above seem incorrect, please let me know.
    Thank you!
    sysadmin

    I've heard no supportability statement with SharePoint and the Web Application Proxy (likely because it isn't GA yet).  However, it does use ADFS for SSO, so you'll have to SAML-enable your Web Applications.  The only downside to this is if you
    use anything that is SAML-unfriendly, like PowerPivot [Data Refresh] and at least in 2010, Visio Services and InfoPath Forms Services.

  • Benefit of SharePoint 2013 sql server membership provider

    Hi All,  Please share your thoughts for this..
    We are working with SharePoint 2013 public facing website with Form based authentication. Anyone can register and start using our site. We are storing
    all the user related data in Active directory. As of now we are having around 25000 users in our portal . We are planning to move all external user information from AD to SQL membership table. Could you please suggest me to benefit of using SQL membership
    instead AD

    performance-wise, they're pretty similar either way (given a single dedicated role server).
    security-wise, compared to SQL, AD makes some data easier to access (since LDAP queries can expose data to any user), but harder to hack (obtain copy of hashed passwords)
    As far as management, there is NO management interface for the SQL membership provider... including USERS (reset password, lock/unlock account, etc), not just groups.
    As far as SSO technology, SqlMembershipProvider is absolutely NOT an SSO technology. Not to say that it can't be used for logins, but authentication and single sign-on are two very different goals.
    I would also argue that since you can't decrypt the AD passwords, the move to SQL is going to be a little difficult for users.
    And, have you considered adding another AD server instead? With a little bit of fiddling around, you can add a dedicated AD server and prioritize SP authentication requests where you want.

  • Maintaining the structure of a SQL Server staging area and dwh aligned with the Oracle data source

    Hi,
    I'm working in a context where the data source system, in Oracle, is a continuos work in progress. Each 1-2-3 weeks the data source system in the prod environment is updated with new tables or updated table (with new columns or altered columns). So, it is
    important to apply in a rapid manner the related changes in the data structure of the SQL Server staging area and dwh.
    The issues to solve are:
    a. maintaining SQL Server data structure of the staging area aligned with the data structure of the Oracle data source;
    b. maintaing SQL Server data structure of the staging area aligned with the data structure of the SQL Server staging area.
    In order to solve these issues it could be useful to think to an authomatic manner to alert when a data structure change occurs and a simple manner to apply the changes on SQL Server data structure.
    Any suggests, please? Many thanks

    We use Oracle CDC service in SQLServer. It has a flag to indicate the schema changes happening at the Oracle end. We track the schema changes using it and then apply changes to sqlserver side. And regarding automation you can use Biml as suggested or .NET
    scripts inside script task.
