Add button to SharePoint 2013 form with InfoPath and/or SharePoint designer

Since I am new to working with Sharepoint 2013, I have the following questions to ask you about Infopath 2013 and possibly SharePoint Desinger 2013:
1. Yesterday I created a custom list in my 'test area of SharePoint' and opened the list in Infopath 2013 to see what the form would look like. Now I have alot more columns and edits to add to the list. I am planning to add more columns to the list when
I am in my 'test area' and then make cosmetic changes to the form using Infopath 2013. I am thinking that if I continue this way, I may lose some ediut changes I have made using Infopath 2013. Thus can you tell me the best way to add more columns to the list
and/or modify the existing columns and not lose the edit changes that I made using Infopath 2013?
2. The infopath 2013 form does not contain any buttons to click. I need a button to show up for every user to click so that a workflow can be started. Do I need some kind of a task list(action)? Thus can you tell me how to add this type of a button to the
form?

Wendy, Please go through this video from
channel 9 (http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NickDallett/InfoPath-2010-Customize-a-SharePoint-List-Form) which will uilding froom explain similar form building from scratch.
As per Peter's replay yes you can update form even after add columns in list and you can add extar control like button to your infopath form.
Workflows are usually started when creating or updating an item inside a SharePoint document library.
Open the workflow in SharePoint Designer and under "Start Options' on the workflow's home page, remove the check from "Start workflow manually...". Be sure the check either "Start on create..." or "Start on change...". In
your case I think you would use "Start on create...".
Hope these inputs will help

How to install and Configure sharepoint foundation on administrator account ??

Hi there guys dev
I want to try sharepoint foundation for first time .
I installed windows server 2012 ans sql server 2012 and then installed sharepoint foundation 2013 .
now when I want to create a new server farm enter my windows name as database name and then enter my administrator account name as username ans it's passwors as password but after then when I click on next to create new server farm give this error :
"the administrator account can't use for new server "
please help how can I create a new server farm with administrator account .
I don't want to create it with the active directory domain and add new forest and create it with my domain name ?
if does it a way to create a new server farm with administrator account so please help to create it ?
thanks dear
Great Regards :
Raha
whit the best regard : Raha

Hi Raha,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you created a new farm with the administrator account by runnning configuration wizard.
Is the SQL Server installed in the server that hosted SharePoint 2013 Foudation? If not, please make sure the server hosted SQL Server has the same account with the server hosted SharePoint 2013 Foudation.
Please run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration wizard with ‘Run as administrator’.When you entered the user’s name, please use the format ‘domain\user_name’.
In addition, please check the log file to find more information about this issue. The path is : C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Also , you can use Event Viewer to find the log by Start->Run->event viewer.
Here is an article for installing and configuring SharePoint 2013, please take a look at:

I hope this helps.

BIEE and BI Publisher standalone

Hi,
I am new to BI, I went through OBE for BIEE and BI Publisher. I have installed BIEE (and BI publisher desktop) successfully, when I launch BI Publisher shipped with BIEE, I dont get admin tab and thus account tab in preferences. Moreover, no option to create new report etc however, I can work in Dashboard and Answers. Then I installed BI Publisher standalone, I performed this installation twice, once it was installed at 9704 port (when OC4J of BIEE was stopped) and next time at 9705 port (when OC4J service was running). With this new installation I got admin tab and was able to create report and word template etc. But with that installation I was unable to proceed with section "Creating BI Publisher Reports Based on Various Data Sources" of BI getting started OBE : http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bipub/intro/gettingstarted.htm as MS word can either connect to 9705 BI installation only. Can any one please guide me what I am missing and that should BIEE and BI Publisher standalone be installed on same PC or not, or, what else I need to do to complete that OBE.
NOTE: I have done all installation on VMWare, I hope it has nothing to do with the problem I am facing.
Thanks in Advance and Best Regards,
Qamar

There are several reasons as to why you can have the BIP Admin tab missing in your installation. This issue is very well covered in the forum so I suggest you use the forum search and read them all.

How to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments

how to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

Hi,
In SharePoint Designer 2010, we could not save the workflow as a template directly except the reusable workflow.
However, in SharePoint Designer 2013, we can just save all the types workflow as a template, then you can import the workflow into the new environment.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/workflows_for_product_catalogs/archive/2012/11/02/deploying-a-workflow-on-a-different-server.aspx
In SharePoint Designer 2013, every time we publish the workflow, we would get a newer version workflow, and the old workflow version would be overwritten.
So, when you deploy the workflow in the environment, the workflow would the newer version.

Any way i can create and manage SharePoint 2013 workflows in browser.

Guys,
is there any way i can created and manager sharepoint 2013 workflows in browser like Nintex lets you do. This will eliminate the need for sharepoint designer.
thanks
MM

No. SharePoint's work flows are created from SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio. Third party solutions like Nintex have other approaches.

After userA check out a page, edit the page and save, Sharepoint prompt userA have checked out the page

In one of site collection at our SP2013 farm, we have "SharePoint Server Publishing" site feature and "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" site collection feature activated.
One of user (UserA) create a page in a page library. The new page is marked as "checked out by UserA". It is fine.
Then UserA open the page -> edit page -> key in something and "save". Then the page prompt him "The file Pages/subfolder/test001.aspx has been modified by i:0#.w|test\userA on 8Aug2014 xx:xx:xx" and ask him to choose "Leave
this page" or "say at this page". The date time is exactly the time he was editing the page.
Whatever he choose will save the page and return to "View" mode (non-edit mode).
It is not the only problem. When userA want to edit the same page again and save, it prompt him that "The page could not be saved because your changes conflict with recent changes made by another user. If you continue, your changes will be lost."!
When userA choose continue or "check out". Follow screen show up:
What can we do? In summary, userA cannot edit a page because userA have checked out! We have tried for different users have exactly same issue.

We are having the same problem, the one thing we have found is if we use the Save Icon on the top right hand side of the page in the ribbon (next to follow), that Save works just fine. What is causing the issue is when trying to use the Save Icon on
the left hand side of the ribbon that has the dropdown options to 'Save', 'Save and Keep Editing' or 'Stop Editing'. It doesn't matter if you just click on the main Icon or choose any of the dropdown options, they all cause issues with the pages.
Thoughts?

Scale out sharepoint server search to index server and Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application to new server

Hi
in my single server these below service are running:
SharePoint Server Search
User Profile Service
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application
here how i scale out Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application to another server
and SharePoint Server Search to new index server.
adil

Check here to see how to add servers to the farm:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261752(v=office.15).aspx
What Inderjeet meant was that if you chose to install SharePoint as a single server instead of a complete farm, you won't be able to add servers to the farm at a later time. You can check if this is the case by checking the registry key he mentioned. If
that is indeed the case, there's nothing to it but reinstall the farm.
So that is why you never should choose the single server option, it locks you in and limits future options, while choosing to install sharepoint as a complete farm it's still perfectly acceptable to host it on a single server.

How to properly create and configure SharePoint 2013 Search service with PowerShell?

Hello Forum,
I have installed SharePoint 2013 across three tier servers:
WFE Server (Of course, SharePoint is installed here. Bsically this is just a Web server)
APP Server (Of course, SharePoint is installed here + Central Admin + Service Apps).
SQL Server
I now want to create and configure the Search service, obviously on the APP Server, But of course the search functionality should work correctly on the WFE server to.
I want to do this via a proper PowerShell script. I found Spence Harbar's script on: (http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2013mt.aspx), But it has three problems, and they are as follows:
1) Spence Harbar himself literally stated on his article that this script is for: "deploying on a single server farm", But what if I have three tier servers? Could anyone please help me out in suggesting the required tweaks in the
script?
2) By default Search uses the SP_Farm account, So, How can I change the script to use other dedicated account for the search service e.g. SP_SearchAcc ?
3) How can I modify the script to specify a default Search center?
4) Apart from all the three aforementioned point - Is the script missing anything?
I would greatly appreciate your inputs - Thanks !

the only differences are where you place the components. if you are doing a small server farm with a 1-1-1, most likely you just need to change the script so that you set the index and query processing component on the front end, but the others on
the app server. just a 2 second update... just keep in mind this will work, but I am making several assumptions without any knowledge of your farm, users, capabilities.
generally, there would be more of a breakout on the topology than that, but im guessing for this farm that you wont have dedicated search servers. also, a lot depends on # users (rps really), # items in index, size of VMs (RAM for query processing,
Disk for index, etc, etc), and making sure the topology works for your particular environment and needs.
if you want more detailed topology help, which aligns as closely as possible to "best practices" (not that those exist in SharePoint, go ahead and provide the total # users, average/peak RPS for search, current index size, content source types,
VM specs RAM, CPU, #/Size of drives, HA concerns/priority (obviously isn't, since only 1-1-1)

Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

Hi, dear,
I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
Thanks in advance.

1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

Users unable to get email notifications on followed sites, or documents: System.IO.FileNotFoundException and Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite.InitUserToken(SPRequest request) errors

Hi Community
I have an issue on a live SP2013 farm that is really causing me grief. Although I ( Farm Admin) and my other users can follow items which are subsequently confirmed in our respective News Feeds -
none of my users are are actually getting emails notifications .
Alerts ( did) work fine.
I have written some PS to vew and set the SPS-EmailOptin for each user
$up[$upManagerAttribute].Value = $managerNTName
# check if the email check boxes are unchecked '1' then if so check all
write-host -fore white "User Profile for user"$NTName "Now has email opt in currently set to" $up[$upEmailOptin].Value
if ($up[$upEmailOptin].Value -gt 0)
$up[$upEmailOptin].Value = 0
write-host -fore white "User Profile for user"$NTName "Now has email opt in all checked."
Very few are unchecked. $up["SPS-PrivacyActivity"].Value = 4095 is set for all users as in
the the privacy settings on the newsfeed are all checked
For my currrent client I set up a development intranet which had the seperate web apps for the main portal and mysites. Test users were able to follow documents, sites without any problems. Before go live I was asked to accomodate a requirement
where there is only one web application (don't ask!) effectivley http://myintranet
so mysites sits under http://myintranet/mysites . I made the appropriate changes to my AutoSPInstaller scritpt and al appearedd l good : services , Service appplications, mysites are all started. I am using
the two app pool accounts one for the portal and one for mysites.
A quick look at the the releated threads on this forum indicated permssions could be DB permissions related tho I am not seeing anything in ULS to strongly point to this
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication http://myintranet
$webApp.GrantAccessToProcessIdentity("mydomain\SP_ProfilesAppPool")
- checked and SPAcess Data is given to the mysites app pool accout to the portal web app .
I am seeing some odd errors in ULS
Ignoring the space ' critical' warning which I have flagged up to Ops and I doubt is my real problem. The errors I see that are related are :

Adobe AIR and MS Sharepoint

I am developing an AIR application which needs to cache files locally from a webserver, to do this I use the filestream object. This is working fine from any server anywhere.
I now need to get files from a Sharepoint server which requires Authentication. I have done a lot of reading about AIR authentication and it talks about NTLM and Kerberos, basic http etc all being native to AIR, but the Sharepoint is not using any of this.
The guys who run the Sharepoint server are telling me that they are only using a form that users can enter username and passwords into. I have tried to use the URLRequest and POST to imitate this but I don't ever get the file I want, and when I look in Charles debugger I don't ever see the AUTH cookie which is needed.
Please can anyone with any experience offer a solution or advice that I can go back to these guys with on how to get it setup correctly.
Thanks
Neil

I ended up using a webservice which you invoke and pass in username and password, this then ensures a session cookie for subsequent calls for content. Hope this helps someone else.

Acrobat X and XI - SharePoint Integration - Not Supporting SharePoint Fields Keywords and Comments

Hi there,
Only a limited number of our staff have access to Acrobat, but they all have access to Acrobat Reader X.
When users use ‘Save As’ to save PDF files directly to a SharePoint 2007 Document Library, they are correctly requested to complete SharePoint meta-data, following selecting the appropriate Content Type.
All of the required meta-data is present with the exception of SharePoint’s built-in Columns ‘Keywords’ and ‘Comments’ (both multi-line text Columns).
All of the Columns which we have defined are present, including multi-line text Columns.
‘Keywords’ is a required Column for all of our documents and hence users cannot check-in their PDF documents.
I know of others who have experienced this problem, and testing at home confirms that the problem also presents with SharePoint 2010.
I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Acrobat and Acrobat Reader XI. Alas, the issue remains.
Thank you,
[ email signature removed by forum host - do not post you personal details on these public forums ]

Hi mchagar <http://forums.adobe.com/people/mchagar> ,
Thanks for your reply!!
Because we have tens of thousands of existing items and documents which use SharePoint’s default Keywords, and many document libraries, we are keen to wait for an Adobe solution.
We are aware that we could create an additional column and copy Keywords to the new column. It is simply a large amount of work in a Corporate Environment, for no reason.
Hopefully Adobe will improve their products to include support for built-in SharePoint fields.
We’ll wait a bit longer.
Thank you,

SharePoint hosted App that listens and log SharePoint Events

Basically, what I need, is something that can listen to all events fired in SharePoint and write them to a custom list.
I was thinking of making this as a SharePoint hosted app because it has to work on SP Online as well.
The idea is then, to let a provider hosted app read the custom list every x minutes and do it's own logic depending on the events it reads from the custom list.
So the question is, how do I catch all the events fired in SharePoint and should it be a SharePoint hosted app that does it?
Any thoughts on how to solve this?
Thanks.
Thomas Bomann, simplySo

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to track all the event fired in SharePoint .
Listen to the events in SharePoint needs Server side code, see the article below:
Programming Event Handling in Windows SharePoint Services
In SharePoint hosted app, it needs to use Client Object Model, so there is no such Client API to meet the requirement.
More information:
JavaScript Client Object Model in SharePoint 2013

How to create and handle sharepoint custom list with more than 300 columns?

Hi,
I have requirement for our project where in the input form is having around 320 columns in it.below are the columns and data types.
Single line of text-180
Yes or No Radio button -95
Date time control-35
Checkbox-10
I have checked the sharepoint boundry and limits for columns and data types.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787.aspx
But how can we handle a sharepoint list with these many large number columns.
Is it safe to create all columns in a single list?
How it will impact the performance?
What is the other approach acheive this requirement?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Poovi

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know if it has some performance issue and limitation when create large number column in a list.
When creating columns in the list , you can still create all 320 columns in the list. But when retrieve the items in a view, then there is a list view threshold limit which causes the performance issue, see the link below:
Sharepoint list column limit
To handling the large number columns, I suggest you can distinguish the column with business logic to create in different list, it will be clear to display the logic relationship.
Thanks
