  • SharePoint 2010 Search Error: "Internal server error exception"

    Hi,
    We have a SharePoint 2010 Farm with 5 servers:
    1 SQL Server Cluster
    2 WFE
    1 Index Server
    1 Search Server
    Please see bellow a more detailed specification.Our DNS is using a Load Balancer
    It turns out that when it uses one WFE (SERVWFE05) it throws this error:
    SharePoint 2010 Search Error: "Internal server error exception"
    when it uses the other one (SERVWFE06) it works.
    What can be wrong?

    We have the SharePoint Server 2010 with SP1 environment on which the custom SP2010 designer pages were working as expected before the
    August 13, 2013 CU has installed. But, getting the below exception while trying to add the new item after the CU has installed.

    I have tried changing the "DataSourceMode" as below, now the insert command is working, but update command is not working.
    <SharePoint:SPDataSource runat="server" DataSourceMode="ListItem" />
    Also, the lookup dropdown fields are displaying the value as "<a href="Daughterhttp://cpsp10/sites/Employees/_layouts/listform.aspx?PageType=4&ListId={8F62F444-FB6A-4F03-9522-C4696B45DCD1}&ID=10&RootFolder=*">Daughter</a>"
    instead of only "Daughter".
    Please provide the solution to get rid of this issue.
    Thanks

    http://blog.jussipalo.com/2012/01/sharepoint-2010-data-source-control.html
    While there can be many causes for this generic error message, in my case the first parameter or ddwrt:DataBind function inside the SharePoint:FormFields element was
    'i' and I was working with an Edit Form. Changing it to
    'u' as it was with every other FormField fixed the issue.
    <SharePoint:FormField runat="server" id="ff1{$Pos}" ControlMode="Edit" FieldName="Esittaja" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff1',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Esittaja')}"
    />
    Explanation:
    DataBind operation type parameters (the first parameter) are listed below:
    'i' stands for INSERT,
    'u' stands for UPDATE,
    'd' stands for DELETE.

  • SQL Exceptions, transport-level errors on SharePoint 2010 App Server

    SharePoint 2010 becomes inaccessible 2-3 times per day. It happens at approximately the same times: 8 PM, 1 AM and 1 PM. It is inaccessible for about 3-4 minutes and then comes back on its own.
    During the time it is down, we see the following errors in the event viewer on the application server:
    EventID: 5586 Task Category: Database -
    Unknown SQL Exception 64 occurred. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server.
    (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
    EventID: 3 Task Category: None -
    .Net SqlClient Data Provider: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error:
    0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
    EventID: 6398 Task Category: Timer -
    The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Monitoring.HealthStatUpdateJobDefinition (ID f9db48f1-f115-47ab-99b6-552460cbb782) threw an exception. More
    information is included below. A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
    EventID: 8086 Task Category: Business Data -
    The BDC Service application failed due to a SQL Exception: SQLServer host ums1spd1v. The error returned was: 'A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to
    the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)'
    The SharePoint logs have errors during the same time period saying the same kinds of things: Sql exception raw message: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server,
    The specified network name is no longer available, etc.
    Our network administrator has looked at the issue and cannot find any network problems. 
    He setup a continuous ping from the app server to the database server. 
    Even during the times these errors are occurring, the app server is still able to reach the database server. 
    However, you cannot ping the app server itself during this time.
    Our database administer cannot find any SQL Server issues. 
    There are no errors in the event viewer or the SQL logs on the database server.
    In Central Admin, we can see that one or two jobs fail with SQL errors during the times these errors take place.
     It is almost always the “User Profile Service Application – User Profile Language Synchronization Job” and often the “Health Statistics Updating” or “Crawl Log Report for Search Application Search Service Application”. 
    These jobs run successfully at many other times during the day.
    Is there a good way to tell if the database, network or SharePoint itself is the root of these problems? 
    The database and network guys say there are no problems in their areas, but all I can find in the SharePoint logs is that it can’t reach the database server.
    Thank you for any suggestions you may have!

    Since these seem to happen at very specific times, I would run a NetMon trace at that window to capture what is going back and forth (or perhaps the timer service is just unable to reach the SQL server).

  • Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

    Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
    Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
    Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
    Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
    Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
    Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
    and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
    application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
    sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files. 
    This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
    On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
    IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
    works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
    Have tried following:
    1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
    2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
    3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
    4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
    5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
    Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
    I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
    regards,
    Compter Sez No!

    Hi,
    According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
    This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
    I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
    To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
    KB943620:
    Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
    KB952167:
    Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
    KB943556:
    Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

    Hi Raghuramk,
    is the web service is a search query web service? if yes, i suppose sharepoint 2013 already deprecated,
    Search Query web service
    Description: The Search Query web service is deprecated in SharePoint 2013.
    In SharePoint Server 2010, the Search Query web service exposes the SharePoint Enterprise Search capabilities to client applications. This enables you to access search results from client and web applications outside the context of a SharePoint site.
    Reason for change: The Search Query web service is deprecated because the client object model (CSOM) and a new REST-based web service are available for developing Office-wide extensibility scenarios. The CSOM exposes the same functionality
    as the Search Query web service, and a larger set of functionality for stand-alone client applications.

  • SharePoint 2010 with LDAP authentication, using NOVELL eDirectory

    One of my customers needs a SharePoint application that allows people to authenticate with either an Active Directory account (internal staff) or a Novell eDirectory account (external customers).

    otherRequiredUserAttributes="sn,givenname,cn" />
    </providers>
    </membership>
    With all of this configured, I can go to the new test site, I do see the form where I can choose either Windows authentication or Forms authentication. I can successfully login with Windows authentication, but forms authentication gives me me an error.
    The server could not sign you in. Make sure your user name and password are correct, and then try again.
    I can successfully login to a LDAP management tool, using the same credentials I entered on the form, so I know the username and password being submitted are correct. I get the following items in the event viewer
    8306 - SharePoint Foundation - The security token username and password could not be validated.
    in the SharePoint trace logs - Password check on 'testuser' generated exception: 'System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.FailedAuthenticationException]: The security token username and password could not be validated. and
    then this:
    Request for security token failed with exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The security token username and password could not be validated.

    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSecurityContext.SecurityTokenForContext(Uri context, Boolean bearerToken, SecurityToken onBehalfOf, SecurityToken actAs, SecurityToken delegateTo)
    I monitored the LDAP server and did a packet-trace on the communication happening between the SharePoint server and the LDAP server and it is a bit odd. It goes like this:
    The SharePoint server successfully connects to the LDAP server, binding the ldapserviceid+password
    The LDAP server tells the SharePoint server it is ready to communicate
    the SharePoint server sends an LDAP query to the LDAP server, asking if the name entered in the form authentication page can be found.
    The LDAP server does the query, successfully finds the entered name and sends a success message back to SharePoint
    The LDAP server sends notification that it is done and is closing the connection that was bound to theldapserviceid+password
    The SharePoint server acknowledges the connection is closing
    ... and then nothing happens, except the error on SharePoint
    What I understand is that the SharePoint server, once it gets confirmation that the submitted username exists in LDAP, should attempt to make a new LDAP connection, bound to the username and password submitted in the form (rather than the LDAP service account
    specified in the web.config). That part does not seem to be happening.
    I am at a standstill on this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    OK, our problem was resolved by removing any information about the ASP.NET role manager. Initially, we had information about a role manager defined in three different web.config files, as well as in the SharePoint Central Administration site, where there
    is the checkbox to Enable Forms Based Authentication (you see this when you first create the new SharePoint app, or afterwards by modifying the Authentication Provider for the app.) In either case, you will see two text boxes, underneath the checkbox item
    for enabling Forms Based Authentication:
    "ASP.NET Membership provider name"
    "ASP.NET Role manager name"
    We entered a name for Membership provider, and left Role manager blank.
    In the web.config for the SharePoint Central Administration site, the SecurityTokenServiceApplication app, and the web app we created with FBA enabled, we entered the following:
    <membership>
    <providers>
    <add name="LdapMember"
    type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Security.LdapMembershipProvider, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
    server="ldap.server.address"
    port="389"
    useSSL="false"
    connectionUsername="cn=ldapserviceid,ou=sharepoint,ou=test,ou=location,o=validobject"
    connectionPassword="validpassword"
    useDNAttribute="false"
    userDNAttribute="dn"
    userNameAttribute="cn"
    userContainer="OU=people,O=validobject"
    userObjectClass="person"
    userFilter="(ObjectClass=person)"
    scope="Subtree"
    otherRequiredUserAttributes="sn,givenname,cn" />
    </providers>
    </membership>
    <roleManager>
    <providers>
    </providers>
    </roleManager>
    useDNAttribute="false" turned out to be important as well.
    So, for us to get LDAP authentication working between SharePoint 2010 and Novel eDirectory, we had to:
    leave anything related to the role provider blank
    configure the web.config in three different applications, with the proper connection information to reach our Novel eDir
    Ensure that useDNAttribute="false" was used in all three on the modified web.config files.
    Since our eDir is flat and used pretty much exclusively for external users, we had never done any sort of advanced role management configuration in eDir. So, by having role manager details in the web.config files, SharePoint was waiting for information from
    a non-existent role manager.

  • SharePoint 2010 with OAM 11g

    We are currently trying to integrate SharePoint 2010 server with OAM 11g with 10g webgate. In our environment SharePoint site is configured with Claims based authentication with LDAP provider for membership. We have performed all the configurations based on the Oracle documentation with validation mode as OAMHttp.
    We are seeing the following behavior after this integration.
    1)     The user requests access to an SharePoint Site
    2)     Webgate protecting the site intercepts the request, determines if the resource is protected, and challenges the user.
    3)     The user enters their OAM credentials; Webgate contacts the OAM Server, which verifies the credentials from user store and authenticates the user. Webgate generates the OAM native SSO cookie (ObSSOCookie), which enables single sign-on and sets the User ID (to username) header variable in the HTTP request and redirects the user to SharePoint site.
    Here, instead of taking user to the home page of the site, the SharePoint login page is displayed again.

    Each license is platform specific, you can't backwards apply or forwards apply licenses from one version of SharePoint to another.
    If you do have MSDN access, you'll have access to all current versions of SharePoint, across the current and retired server products.

    anyone have any tips? :-)
    best regards
    Bjorn

    Hi Bjorn
    Thanks for posting your issue, 
    You need to have permission level of creating sub-sites on the top level site too to be able to create a site in your sub-site.
    However, the SharePoint sites are managed by the sites’ hierarchy and every top level site can have several subsites. It is necessary for us to have the corresponding permission on the top level site if we want to create a sub-site in the sub-site of the top
    level site.
    Also, browse the below mentioned URLs to know about the fixes of this issue

  • Web Analytics doesn't work on one subsite in SharePoint 2010 Foundation

    Hi all,
    I receive message on one subsite's web analytics settings in SharePoint 2010 Foundation environment.
    I've tried to delete web analytics service application and add it again, set parameter value for timer jobs which are perocessing and importing this data - nothing helps.
    I see that .usage files are collecting in 14 hive and I have this information for all other sites and subsites except this one.
    A web analytics report is not available for this site. Usage processing may be disabled on this server or the usage data for this site has not been processed
    yet
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Mihail,
    What's the status of “Web Analytics Trigger Workflows Timer Job “ in CA ?
    Try to run it again manually for the affected web app and let us know results.

  • Trying to link SharePoint 2010 Enterprise with SharePoint 2013 Search Server raises error

    Hi,
    I am currently working for a multinational who has SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition installed, 2 WFE SERVERS, 3 APP SERVERS, 1 DB SERVER. They also installed SharePoint 2013 Exterprise recently.
       Microsoft have recently come in and set up the SharePoint 2013 Search Server to crawl content in SharePoint 2010 as the replacement search to SharePoint 2010 Search. So they have gone through process of certificates and permissions
    setups I guess. I was told it was working, but recently failed. When I type in the search box on a web site for SharePoint 2010 I get the message:
             The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.
    I checked the Event log and the Critical error (in Task Category:Timer) I get is the notorious: 
    The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlReportJobDefinition (ID fa882704-80d9-415b-9b9d-eae5e9bdefd4) threw an exception. More information is included below.
            The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration   
            component. Verify that the administration component 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-
            e5431a180c2b' in search application 'Search_Service_Application' is in a good state and
            try again.
    I know administration component is the crawler. I am assuming this is permissions.
    The SharePoint 2013 Search Server is picking up SharePoint 2010 site collections items fine i.e. The SharePoint 2013 search shows items from 2010 as expected.  
    On the SharePoint 2010 central admin box the search service enabled and running (checked with powershell). (SharePoint Server Search 14)
    The Search Service id: e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5432a180c2b
    I also get the message in event log for gatherer on SharePoint 2010 CA and Search Server:
           Could not access the Search database. A generic error occurred while trying to access the database to obtain   
           the schema version info.
           Context: Application 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5431a180c2b'
    Details:
                (0x80040e09)
    Is this permissions to delete something from crawler??????
    I would appreciate if someone could help on this. I have tried to be as concise as possible.
    Thanks.
    John.

    It was a case that someone had fiddled with the Service App Associations. Hadn't ticked SharePoint 2013 search. Was still point at 2010. Thanks.
    The SharePoint 2013 Search works correctly for SharePoint 2010.
    Can someone confirm that the Search Service Application on SharePoint 2010 still needs to exist and hence SharePoint Server Search 14 Service still needs to be running? I am guessing it would as you search from 2010 interface not 2013. I am getting a critical
    error in the Event Viewer:
    CrawlReportJobDefinition (Id <SharePoint 2010 Crawler>) 
    The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component <crawler id> in search application "Search Service Application" is in a good state and try
    again.
    I think this is related to the fact we have SharePoint 2013 doing the search instead of 2010.
    Any ideas?
    John.

    I have verified that the service account for the SPUCHostService is a domain account belonging to the the WSS_WPG local group (I also tried adding to the WSS_ADMIN_WPG group with no more success).  The WSS_WPG
    group has read and write access to the log folder mentioned above.
    I started troubleshooting this when I tried to activate and use the CRM 2011 list control.  And found that other sandboxed solutions also fail which lead me to look at the SharePoint 2010 User Code Host, which will not keep running.
    I have a Sharepoint 2010 enterprise farm with one WFE and one seperate database server all on a single domain.   The WFE is running on Windows 2008 sp2 (64 bit).   
    I look forward to your advice / suggestions.
    PS.  I have been working on this for a couple days, and have read many issues that seem to be related, but I have already checked that the Service is now set to automatic, that the service account is a member of the WSS_WPG group and should therefore
    have rights to the Logs folder.  It is also a member of the Local Administrators and the Performance Log Users group.

  • Problem rename sharepoint 2010 search service application admin database

    Hi all,
    i have a problem that hopefully someone has an answer to.  i am not too familiar with sharepoint so please excuse my ignorance.
    we have sharepoint 2010 on a windows 2008r2 server.  everything seems to work fine.  but as you know, the default database names are horrendous.  i have managed to rename all of them, except for the "search service application" admin
    database.
    the default is: Search_Service_Application_DB_<guid>
    the other 2 databases (crawl and property) were renamed without a problem.
    we are following the article from technet on how to rename the search service admin db (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-nz/library/ff851878%28en-us%29.aspx).  it says to enter the following command:
    $searchapp | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -DatabaseName "new database name" -DatabaseServer "dbserver"
    however, i get an error about identity being null.  no big deal, i add the -Identity switch and the name of my search service application.  but the real problem comes the error it throws:
    Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication : The requested database move was aborted as the associated search application is not paused.
    At line:1 char:54
    + $searchapp | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication <<<<  -Identity "Search Service Application" -DatabaseName "SharePoint2010_Search_Service_Application_DB" -DatabaseServer "dbserver"
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Offic...viceApplication:
       SetSearchServiceApplication) [Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication], I
      nvalidOperationException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.SetSearchS
       erviceApplication
    when i look at the crawling content sources, i see "Local SharePoint Sites" and it's status is Idle.  i even looked at this article on how to pause the search to no avail.  (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee808864.aspx)
    does someone know how i can rename my Search Service Applcation Admin database properly?  or at least "pause" that service so i can rename it?
    thank you all in advanced

    If you want to have no guids for your search admin db, i recommend you check out this script :)
    just delete your search service application (assuming you have just started)

    DRC: "This is a good article which provides different ways to import the data to SQL, But this article needs some modifications. Suggestions: • It would be helpful, if mentioned on which version of SQL server and Visual studio scenario
    was tested • We might encounter errors while using the format files, for example we get the below error if the format file doesn’t have blank space (character ) at the end of each line Msg 4862, Level 16, State 1, Line 10 Cannot bulk load because the file
    "C:\temp\good.fmt" could not be read. Operating system error code (null). • So it will be helpful if you can provide a sample format file and TSQL script along with the possible output which can be tested and compared. • The sample query and the
    format file is not yielding the right output. Screenshots shown in the article has invalid values (for example ID coulmn has invalid values). Format file need to be fixed to get the right data. • The format file under section “Files With Text Qualifiers” is
    also invalid and the data is not imported properly. • Implementation of import using the SSIS package needs more details about how to make the delimiter consistent, Attaching a sample package would be helpful. "
