Best Practises and Guidelines for SharePoint 2013 Development

Currently We are using SharePoint 2010 and doing a lot of enhancement and customization in the portal.
we are planning to migrate SharePoint 2013 after 6-9 months.
I want to know what are the best practices and guidelines for development in SharePoint 2010 keeping one thing in mind that customization should be compatible or can easily migrate to SharePoint 2013 so that re-engineering effort would be as minimum
as possible.
We have every possible piece of customization in SharePoint 2010 portal like web part, event receivers, workflows, master page, page layout, custom search etc.
Please do the needful.

Best practices don't really apply here. They are generally rules of thumb that you can apply without thinking too much and be pretty much right. Development is by it's nature too varied to allow that sort of best practice guidance.
Having said that the main thing you should be concerned with around the choice of development approach in 2013 is the intended future of your client and the application. If they are making a move to the cloud you should be concentrating on the app model
and rapidly phasing out farm solutions. If they are considering it then you can still consider using the more old-school options of farm solutions and sandboxed solutions. If they can't go to the cloud because of data security etc. then you are more or less
free to use what you like.
Also, try to move to client side processing wherever possible. MS are only going to make server side work less pleasant in future.
Beyond that, get to some conferences and start chewing through some of the blogs on the topic.

Third party tool for SharePoint 2013 Record Auditing?

Does anyone have knowledge about third party tools that extend the standard auditing functionality in SharePoint 2013?
I am mostly focusing on being able to archive the audit log automatically before it is trimmed, and being able to query that archive.
Regards.
Atli

Metalogix ControlPoint is great for this! It will automatically archive and trim the audit log for you based on your parameters. It can then search across both the archive and active audit logs.

SQL 2012 SP1 Reporting Services for SharePoint (2013) - Install-SPRSService Not Available

So, at this point, I've blown away an otherwise functional SP2013 + SQL2012SP1 multi-server farm trying to get this to work, only to end up with the same results. Irrespective of whether I install Reporting Services before or after the SP2013 server is in
a farm, SSRS does not seem to be enabled in the farm. I cannot add a new SSRS service application (the menu item does not exist); I cannot start the SSRS service on server (because it isn't here); I cannot execute the Install-SPRSService cmd in SP (yes, the
SharePoint) Powershell (PS comes back with this error:
Install-SPRSservice : The term 'Install-SPRSservice' is not recognized as the
name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is
correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ Install-SPRSservice
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Install-SPRSservice:String) [],
CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
Quite simply, something's broken. I've followed a couple of detailed how-to's on technet and elsewhere... Right at the point when I should be able to create the SSRS service application, the wheels come off the cart. I've tried Import-Module'ing the SQLCMDLETS
and SQLPS PS modules...nothing... The strange thing is that after the installation of the SSRS, if I happen to go into the General Application Settings in Central Admin, I see a new item after Content Deployment:
$Resources:ReportServerResources,AdminReportServerGroupTitle;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,ManageIntegrationSettings; |
$Resources:ReportServerResources,AddTrustedAccounts; |
$Resources:ReportServerResources,SetServerDefaults;
When I uninstall, this goes away.
Greatly appreciate any suggestions you can offer because this is driving me crazy, and I have tried everything I can think of to get this going...

Make sure you are running SharePoint 2010 Management Shell not PowerShell.
Also make sure you are running SharePoint 2010 Management Shell with administrator privileges. Right click the icon and click, "Run As Administrator".
You must have installed "Reporting
Services add-in for SharePoint Products" on the server where you are executing "Install-SPService".

Difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013

Hi, We are building company site with Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Edition and were wondering what is the difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013? What are the roles/purposes of each one? What
happens if only Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode installed or vise versa.
Thank you in advance

Reporting Services in SharePoint mode is a service for displaying, managing, and creating SSRS reports within SharePoint. The addin is a pre-req for SharePoint that is used to display reports and is required for Reporting Services in Native or SharePoint
mode, but does not by itself do anything.

Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..

Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..i mean enterprise version BI version or standard version.. i just need a detailed comparison if available please thank you

As of right this very second, SQL Server 2014 is not supported. SharePoint 2013 supports:
One of the following:
The 64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013
Edit: I may be mistaken. It looks like the April 2014 CU adds support for SQL Server 2014. If this is the case generally going with the latest SQL Edition provides you with the latest SQL functionality. I'm not aware of any SharePoint features that would
make use of functionality that is new to SQL Server 2014 but this could change with a future service pack.

[Reports]   The best reporting tool for JDeveloper 10g

Hi,
Which is the best reporting tool for JDeveloper 10g: JasperReports, Crystal Reports or something else? I want to build parametric and rather complex reports but I don't know which tool offers more features, flexibility, ease of use , ... . I've built some simple parametric reports using JasperReports and JDeveloper 10g but I think it's not so productive and may need something more, maybe iReport. Does anyone have any ideas?
S/\EE|)

Hi Saeed,
I'lm using Jasper too, and here is an example of how i pass to it some variables:
     <parameter name="theWantedId" isForPrompting="false" class="java.lang.Integer"/>
     <queryString><![CDATA[SELECT field1, field2 from table1 WHERE table1.field1 = $P!{theWantedId}]]></queryString>And in a bean (or other java code from which the template is called)
        Map parameters= new HashMap();
        parameters.put("theWantedId", findSelectedId()); // return the ID of the object to print
        JasperDesign design =
            JRXmlLoader.load(myTemplate); // First load template from the Blob table in an inputstream
        JasperReport report =
            JasperCompileManager.compileReport(design);
        InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
        DataSource ds = (DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MYDATASOURCEConnectionDS");
        Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
        JasperPrint print =
            JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, parameters, conn);Hope that can help, if you need more information please ask,

Best logging option for SharePoint 2013 on-premise application

What is the best logging option for SharePoint 2013 on-premise application?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know the logging option in SharePoint 2013.
SharePoint has its own logging system called “Unified Logging System (ULS)“, we can use the ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred, we can use the
ULSViewer for more convenient log viewing experience.
Or we can log information programmatically.
There are some logging classes can be used, such as
SPMonitoredScope , SPDiagnosticsService, or create your own “Diagnostics Service” – which is technically just a new class inherited
from SPDiagnosticsServiceBase.
We can also utilize diagnostics.asmx web service for the client side applications.

How to get analytics reports programmatically in SharePoint 2013?

In SharePoint 2010 it was possible to obtain data from web analytics programmatically using Microsoft.Office.Server.WebAnalytics.Reporting.AnalyticsReportFunction class.
How can you get search reports programmatically in SharePoint 2013? Are there new assemblies or classes that can be used to obtain them?
In my scenario, i am mostly interested in the most searched terms at web application or service application level.
In SharePoint 2013 the Web Analytics Service Application was merged into the Search Service Application. It seems now that the old assemblies used for this (Microsoft.Office.Server.WebAnalytics.dll
and Microsoft.Office.Server.WebAnalytics.UI.dll) are not available any more.
They are available in the user interface as Excel reports, in CA->Application Management->Manage Service Applications->Search Service Application->Usage Reports , but I am interested to obtain these reports programmatically.
Is this scenario still supported in SP 2013?

try this
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(MainBUPageUrl))//open root
                        using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                            AnalyticsReportFunction AnalyticReport = new AnalyticsReportFunction(); //create object of analyticsReport
                            Thread.CurrentPrincipal = new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent());//this is used only
in timer job if not used then GetWebAnalyticsReportData will not work
                            object[,] result = null;
                                web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
                               result = AnalyticReport.GetWebAnalyticsReportData(SiteCollurl, "2", ReportType.TopDestinationForSiteReport.ToString(),
DateTime.Today.AddDays(-3.0), DateTime.Today); //this gives top visitor for provided site collection by providing time duration(start and end date),report type and url
                                SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("AppreciationsList");//list
                                for (int counter = 0; counter < 10; counter++) //show top ten pages
                                    Item = list.AddItem();

How to configure Reporting functionality to SharePoint 2013 if RS is already installed as Native mode

Is it possible to publish reports to SharePoint if SQL Server 2012 reporting service is on native mode?
How to do it?
I have SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012. I have created cube and reports with its data tools. This is single server environment.
This is what I have done:
A) I can successfully see from SQL Server installation tool that "Reporting Service-SharePoint" and "Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products" are checked.
B) I don't see Reporting Services under the Manage Service Application of the SharePoint Central Admin.
c) When I choose report from reporting service project and I click deploy, it asks Reporting Services Login, but it does not accept admin logins. Server path should be valid.
I got idea from following instruction that I should register and start the Reporting Services SharePoint service
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx
C) I tried to run command Install-SPRSService, but it was not recognized cmdlet command.
D) I see from Reporting Service Configuration Manager that Reporting Server Mode is Native. Report Service Status is Started.
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
Since the release of SQL Server 2012, Reporting Services SharePoint Integrated mode has been changed from a Windows Service to be a SharePoint Shared Service. In this way, Reporting Services Configuration Manager no longer supports Reporting Services SharePoint
mode, and all the configurations of SharePoint mode is completed using SharePoint Central Administration.
In SSRS 2008 R2 or lower version, only one report server (either native mode or SharePoint integrated mode) can be active at one time in one SSRS instance. In SSRS 2012, the report server that runs in SharePoint integrated mode and the report server that
runs in Native mode work separately at the same time in one SSRS 2012 instance. So, in this issue, you don’t need to care about the report server that runs in native mode when you work with the report server that runs in SharePoint mode.
First, please install SQL Server 2012 SP1 which introduces more BI features.
For the issue you encounter when running the commands to register the Reporting Services SharePoint Service, it may occur if you run the commands in the Windows Powershell instead of the SharePoint Management Shell. Please launch the SharePoint Management
Shell by clicking Start-> All Promgrams -> Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Products -> SharePoint 2013 Management Shell. Then, please continue the steps in the following document or blog to create a Reporting Services Service Application:
Install Reporting Services SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2013
Installing and configuring SQL Reporting services on SharePoint 2013
After a SSRS Service Application is created properly, to deploy the project to the SharePoint integrated mode report server, please see the project property settings in the following document:

Disable Edit Report Option from SharePoint 2013 PowerView Dasboard

Hi All,
I have PowerView Dashboard in Sharepoint 2013, In a Preview Bar there are three options i.e. File, Edit Report, Full Screen.
The requirement is disable only Edit Report Option from preview bar not all.
Please help me if there is any possibility for the same.

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to disable the edit report option from SharePoint 2013 PowerView Dasboard.
There is a workaround:
You can change the permission of the report. You should upload the report to a SharePoint library and set a user have read-only permission of the report. When the user open the report and save the changes, it will have error. The user cannot edit the report.
The article below is about change the report permission in order to disable the edit option.

PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 experience

Hi,
Does anybody have practical experience with PowerPivot for SharePoint (especially SharePoint 2013) to implement a self-service BI scenario in an on premise environment? Some questions that I’m particular interested in:
• What major problems did you experience during the actual implementation?
• Experience in connection to existing SQL Server Data Warehouses as a PowerPivot data source?
• Authentication of “SSAS server in SharePoint mode” to existing SharePoint 2013 farm
• Resource Load on existing SharePoint application and SQL Server, for example does it make sense to create a dedicated application server for the Excel /PowerPivot service application, for performance / future scalability reasons?
• Hardware suggestion for a dedicated “SSAS server in SharePoint mode” for a total of 1000 PowerPivot users
Thanks

Hi Ibmkahm2,
According to your description, you need to implement business intelligence in SharePoint Server 2013, right?
The business intelligence tools for SharePoint Server 2013 include Power View for SharePoint, SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services for SharePoint, Power Pivot for SharePoint, Excel Services, PerformancePoint Services, and Visio Services. Here are some
useful links for you reference.
