Application Configuration List (key/value) in SharePoint 2013

What is the best way to have a application configuration list in SharePoint 2013? Think of a SharePoint portal with around 50 key/value pairs that needs to be configured
(Similar to configuration manager that we had as part of Microsoft patterns and practices library - These libraries are not yet updated for SharePoint 2013)

As a quick answer, you may go with hidden list -
link, however what is your environment (O365/On Prem). Site property Bag also another way. Actually it depends on situation and NFRs.

Hi,
According to your description, you want to configure Access Service 2010 in SharePoint 2013 server by using a Windows PowerShell.
Take a look at an articles about configuring services and service applications in SharePoint 2013:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee794878(v=office.15).aspx
Updates on how to do a lot of these (include
configure Access Service 2010 ) with PowerShell haven't really been released yet.
Here is an article about configuring a service application by using a Windows PowerShell script (SharePoint Server 2010), you can use as a reference:

List Custom filter in SharePoint 2013

I recently upgraded my company's SharePoint 2010 site to SharePoint 2013. Now users are complaining for the List Custom Filter box that was available in SharePoint 2010 but is missing in SharePoint 2013.
Is there a possibility to activate that feature in SharePoint 2013 in any way?

Hi Alex,
You can use Key filters to filter the list items per date entries.
1. Go to Site settings --> activate 'Metadata Navigation and Filtering' feature.
2. Go to List settings -->click 'Metadata navigation settings' under 'General Settings' -->Select the desired columns under 'Configure Key Filters' and click 'OK'.
Please note:
Fields that are available for use as navigation hierarchies include columns on this list that are one of the following types:
- Content Type
- Choice Field
- Managed Metadata Field
- Person or Group Field
- Date and Time Field
- Number Field
Hope this info helps you!
Thanks & Regards, Richlibran

Enable Team Collaboration Lists Feature via PowerShell - SharePoint 2013

I need to enable the Team Collaboration Lists feature across the mysites 2013 web application that we have. I want our server team to do this programatically through powershell. I really have no experience with powershell but I think what we need is the
feature name.
Is there anyone that can provide assistance on this?
Thanks!
-Kyle

DO something like:
$WebApp = Get-SPWebApplication "http://<url of my site host root>"
for($i = 0; $i < $WebApp.Sites.Count; $i++)
$site = $WebApp.Sites[$i]
for($j = 0; $j < site.Webs.Count; $j++)
$web = $site.Webs[$j]
$teamList = Get-SPFeature | Where{$_.Id -eq "00bfea71-4ea5-48d4-a4ad-7ea5c011abe5"}
Enable-SPFeature -Url $web.Url -Identity $teamList
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()

Configure Search Across farms in sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I'm setting up a farm to share services across differente farms but for some reason search isn't working.
I have done everything I thk i should, exchange certs, create trust relationship, publish service, service permissions, connect remote service app, s2s auth etc. I added the remote site url on the crawler, it runs without erros, then I created a result source
with remotesharepoint but when I test I get an Unauthorized (401), or when I search on my Enterprise search.
In the consumer farm I'm getting this error on the ULS:
SPApplicationAuthenticationModule: Error authenticating request, Error details: Header: 3000006;reason="Token contains invalid signature.";category="invalid_client", Body: {"error_description":"Invalid JWT token. Could not
resolve issuer token."}
I have changed my PS command according this guy(http://steve.thelineberrys.com/following-sites-across-farms-with-sharepoint-2013-mysites/) that had the same problem but with the UPS, without any luck.
What am I doing wrong? Does anyone had the same problem? Thks alot
http://pontodepartilha.blogspot.com

I am now able to search and get results from the Consumer site collection (crawler runs without errors) on a Search Portal on the Publisher farm.
But everytime I try to open the Result Sources on my consumer site collection for example I get a
"Addresses for this application have not yet been fetched."
I dont get service toplogy/permission errors on ULS, but I have tried the script harbar posted:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fb52cfd8-bdb5-45b2-a86b-a23f8179a8b7/addresses-for-this-application-have-not-yet-been-fetched?forum=sharepointadminprevious

Update existing list item value in sharepoint using web service code

I have the below code which I am trying to run for updating the list item value. "Settings" is the list name and the item in this list is having index of 1.
Main()
        ListsSoapClient client = new ListsSoapClient();
        client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
        client.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel = System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.Impersonation;
        string strListName = "Settings";
        client.Open();
        XElement listData = client.GetList(strListName);
        string listID = listData.Attribute("ID").Value;
        string version = listData.Attribute("Version").Value;
        // string version = listData.Attribute("View").Value; Doesnt work
        // Method 1 : Make the call to SharePoint
        var listItems = client.GetListItems(strListName, null, null, null, null, null, null);
        List<XElement> results = listItems.Descendants().ToList();
        XElement updateItem = results[1];
        updateItem.SetAttributeValue("ows_Value", "value to update");
        client.UpdateListItems(strListName, updateItem); //Didnt work
        // Method 2 : Make the call to SharePoint
        string strBatch = "<Method ID='1' Cmd='Update'>" +
                        "<Field Name='ID'>1</Field>" +
                        "<Field Name='Title'>" + "999" + "</Field></Method>";
        XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
        System.Xml.XmlElement elBatch = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Batch");
        //elBatch.SetAttribute("OnError","Continue"); //Not mandatory ?
        //elBatch.SetAttribute("ListVersion","1"); //Not mandatory ?
        //elBatch.SetAttribute("ViewName", "00F85842-35AD-4AED-8DF7-0F903FB850BE"); is it mandatory ?
        elBatch.InnerXml = strBatch;
        client.UpdateListItems(strListName, XmlElementToXelement(elBatch)); //doesnt work
        client.Close();
   public static XElement XmlElementToXelement(XmlElement e)
        return XElement.Parse(e.OuterXml);
How do we get the ViewName value of the list using code ? why is it not mandatory in Method 2. At the end of the method1 i am getting the below exception.How do I fix this ?
Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.

Error when running workflow form list item - workflow manager SharePoint 2013

I am getting the following error in the workflow services log when I tried to run a SPD 2013 workflow from as list item. The workflow page comes up with an "An unexpected error has occurred"
page when opened:
Error processing management request. Method: GET, RequestUri: http://servername:12291/$Workflows/$Instances?$skip=0&$top=100&monitoringParameter=1f51aa43-2f1c-4fc5-a86d-f638ca57c00d, Error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): The procedure "GetInstances" has no parameter named "@OtherWorkflowStatus".

ClientConnectionId:d2039360-b352-4d81-9bb7-b647e2938d06
Can't find anything on google.
Edit: Ok, when I look at the error, it is saying the the "GetInstances" stored procedure in the WFInstanceManagementDB database does not have a parameter named "@OtherWorkflowStatus".
For laughs, I added the parameter (which wasn't in there). Now I get the error:
Procedure or function 'GetInstances' expects parameter '@OtherWorkflowStatus', which was not supplied
It seems like there is something not right about my installation. Previously, I couldn't get the workflow backend service to run because there were config values missing from the workflow manager database. At the time I tried to uninstall/reinstall
WFM to no avail. I eventually had to manually add the values to get it to work. Something is not right about the WFM install/config process.

Here is what I had to do to get it working:
Leave the WFM (Workflow Manager) farm using the WFM config tool
Uninstall WFM, Service Bus, and the CU's from control panel
Uninstall Workflow Manager Client if it exists in the control panel, it didn't in mine
Delete the following databases in SQL Server:
SbGatewayDatabase
SbManagementDB
SBMessageContainer01
WFInstanceManagementDB
WFManagementDB
WFResourceManagementDB
Delete the workflow proxy service in Central Admin (important)
Application Management > Manage Service Applications
Highlight (select) the Workflow Service Application Proxy service (don’t click the hyperlink)
Select “Delete” from the ribbon.
Restart the server
Reinstall
Enable the workflow proxy service in CA for the web app, the 2013 workflow option will not show up in SPD unless you do this.
Application Management > Manage Web Applications
Select your web app
Select “Service Connections” from the ribbon
Check the Workflow Service Application Proxy item and click “OK”

SITE_2 The application '/' does not exist IIS error - SharePoint 2013

During stopping the service Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application on an App server I haven't been able to get it started. When I try to stop it it gets stucked in
STOPPING and when I try to start it gets stuck in STARTING.
The problem now is some web applications work and some don't. But having a look at the app server I can see a web site stopped with the name SITE_19818... with no binding at all.
On the web server I can see all web sites with bindings including the ones that are not loading/working.
What do I need to:
1) get the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application to start on both app and web server now its stuck STARTING :)
** I have ran all the powershell stopServerinstance and start commands with no luck.
I keep getting the error the job timer is already being created etc..
2) re- bind the websites back on the web server so I can at least get the web sites working
Thanks in Advance

Hi Patrick,
According to your description, my understanding is that "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application" service got sutck in Starting.
Please go to the stsadm directory i.e. cd \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN, then type
stsadm -o provisionservice -action start -servicetype spwebservice. After that, restart IIS.

What are high and low values in sharepoint 2013 user permissions?

So I hit this api:
http://win-a3q7ml82p8f/sharepoint_site/_api/web/roledefinitions/
And got the different high and low values. But I am not clear with what they mean:
For eg:
High: 176, Low: 138612833
and
High: 176, Low: 138612801
So for different values of Low how does it change the permissions?
For 176 its binary is 10110000. So looking at this table here: http://www.dctmcontent.com/sharepoint/Articles/Permissions%20and%20Mask%20Values.aspx
I can understand that 176 would mean the following set of permissions:
DeleteVersions
OpenItems
ApproveItems
But what's confusing me is, that user has OpenItems permissions but not ViewListItems permission? Am I wrong in understanding this?
Also how does the value of Low change the overall user permissions?
Note: I looked at this answer: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/9d6df168-e8f5-4323-8c34-0646c03eff68/rest-api-what-are-high-and-low-in-effectivebasepermissions-and-getusereffectivepermissions?forum=sharepointdevelopment
But honestly I cant understand what that means. Can someone help please?
