Problem in calling BSP application through portal

Hi All,
We have EP 2004s and we have integrated a CRM (BSP) application with it .
CRM application is a custom application which contains two frames . The upper frame of this application is developed using BSP and the lower frame is ICWC .
We are calling this application (BSP) in portal using a BSP iView . When calling this application using iView it gives an error as some values needs to be initialized , though all the values have been initialized in controller.
When we are calling the same application using a browser instead of an iView it works perfectly fine .
Can anybody explain me how does portal treats the BSP application.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit Kade

The BSP is just a URL as far as the portal is concerned. Just make sure the same URL is being generated as if you called the BSP directly.
Cheers

Call external application through Abap WD application

Hello All,
We are trying to call an external application using ABAP. The details are as below
1) SAP server on AIX OS
2) External Apps server: Windows OS
The external apps takes a file located on windows as input and generates a file on windows as output. The external appls is installed on the windows OS.
We are unable to trigger the VC apps from ABAP.( AIX OS).
Appreciate if you can guide and give some examples. Please note that the OS are different.
Questions:
1) How to access windows file system to execute external appls from ABAP ( AIX)
2) Would a RFC be required to be made between ABAP and the windows server where external appls is hosted
3) Any sample code/links is really help ful
We were able to get it working when the applications was hosted on local file system ( desktop) . Two problems are getting the appls executed on remote and different OS accessing windows file system through unix ( AL11 should help here i guess)
Regards
PN

Hi Lekha
I want to start a *.bsp page in a new external window and POST Parameters to this *.bsp page.
So it is not actually showing a bsp in a ABAP WD.
Kind regards
Paul
PS: create_external_window is alway a GET Method and I do not want to show Parameters in the URL.

How to Call a WebDynpro application through html page.

I have created a webDynpro application.How can i call this application through a html page?
Thanks
Pankaj Kumar

Hi,
   You can add a link to your HTML page and set the anchor reference to the absolute URL of your WD application.
   The absolute URL of your WD application looks like
http://<j2ee server>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/<wd component name>/<application name>
   So your HTML code will look like:
<a href="http://<j2ee server>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/<wd component name>/<application name>">Link</a>

Requires a microsoft sharepoint foundation-compatible application and web browser

SharePoint 2010 version 14.0.7102.5000.
Clients are Windows 7 SP1, Browser is IE 10.0.9200.17296
Problem is the well known famous message 'requires a microsoft sharepoint foundation-compatible application and web browser' when the user chooses the button New Document.
Why this behaviour for this user is different then all the threads and blogs I read about this message is because of the following: I am logged on using my Windows account on my computer (VDI so I have the same computer as the user experiencing the
message) and don't have this problem. When the concerning user uses my logged on computer under my account and only logs in with his credentials within SharePoint (sign in as Different User) then the problem occures. I performed the same actions on the same
library as the concerning user.
So ruled out are:
- Browser version
- Office version
- windows User Profile
- x86 vs x64
- MS Foundation Support installation
- add on SharePoint OpenDocuments Class
Please help me out.

Do you have different versions of Office or SharePoint Designer or any Office product installed?
You can try repairing office installation in that particular user machine and see what happens.
Thanks.
Sorry to say but software versions can be ruled out as I mentioned the user have the same problem when using
my logged on account in Windows on my computer. Only in the browser the user is logging in with his credentials. I don't have this problem when using this Document Library.

Can not restart Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application after stopping

All, thanks for any help.
I have a SP2010 instance running and am in the process of adding custom web parts, activities, and timer jobs. As part of troubleshooting an odd problem where my code did not seem to be getting updated on deployments, I decided to try restarting the
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application in Central Administration/Services on Server. It stopped well enough, but on restart it now fails with the error "Expression must evaluate to a node-set.
". I thought it might have something to do with the updated web.config, so I took it back to the original one, but the problem still persists. I have tried multiple PC restarts and iisresets, along with trying to start the service via the use of
stsadm. My SP2010 instance is deployed on a Windows Vista box for testing. I have successfully deployed this very same custom timer job to that very box in the past; it just won't deploy now and the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application
constantly shows "error starting" on the Services on Server page.
As a result I can no longer deploy timer jobs - they deploy but never show up Central Administration after deployment, and never execute. Can anyone tell me how to get Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application to restart?
~Thanks!
Mitch

Old post, but in case others come across this. From:
http://sharepointumar.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/restart-microsoft-sharepoint-foundation-web-application-service-stuck-at-stopping/comment-page-1/#comment-146
Stop it by running:
$svc = Get-SPServiceInstance | where {$_.TypeName -like "*Foundation Web*"}
$svc.Status = "Offline"
$svc.Update()
And then start:
$svc = Get-SPServiceInstance | where {$_.TypeName -like "*Foundation Web*"}
$svc.Status = "Online"
$svc.Update()
Optionally, you may need to run (I didn't):
$wa = Get-SPWebApplication http://webAppUrl
$wa.ProvisionGlobally()

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.

Please try below mentioned steps:
1. Central Administration > Monitoring > Review job definitions > Look for following timer job "Application Server Administration Service Timer Job" > Disable
2. Then open windows administrative services (services.msc), stop SharePoint Timer Service
3. Clear SharePoint Timer configuration cache by following steps mentioned in below blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jamesway/archive/2011/05/23/sharepoint-2010-clearing-the-configuration-cache.aspx
4. Start SharePoint Timer Service and give it a few seconds so that the new XML files from the location you deleted then are re-populated.
5.Central Administration > Monitoring > Review job definitions > Look for following timer job "Application Server Administration Service" Timer Job > Enable

Hi All,
I am using Virtual box to connect to Sharepoint 2013 VPC. Due to an unexpected sutdown of my machine the VPC got some issue. Now I restored it using my bak up file. But after this when I deploy my sharepoint 2013 farm solution Iam getting the following error.
Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool': Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified..
Editing the web.config and adding dependentAssembly didnt worked for me.
What could be the issue? Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Please try to do as follows:
1. Check your farm solution whether reference the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll. Or try to add the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll into the bin folder.
2. Execute the iisreset command.
3. Create a new farm solution and check whether the issue still occurs or not.

I have tried it but still giving me same error

New Document' requires a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application and web browser

Hi Guys,
I am getting the above message when I try to create a new Excel document from a content type.
The background is that I am configuring Content Types for a document library in SharePoint 2013.
The first content type I added was a business case based on a Word doc that is stored in a different doc library on the same site. This content type works fine. I then added a second content type that references an Excel doc in the same doc library as the word
doc.
Interestingly when you click new document from the Files Ribbon the Business Case content type displays with the word icon next to it. The content type that references the Excel document does not display the Excel icon though. Almost like SharePoint itself
does not recognise the Excel format.
Prior to posting this question I confirmed that I have Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support enabled as part of my office 2013 instance. I have also confirmed that SharePoint OpenDocuments Class control is enabled within my IE settings.

IE version and Office that is installed in your computer should have to the same version (32-bit).

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.VersionsPage.ItemVersion

I am getting an object reference not found error when trying to view the version history of any list item within my web application, as well as view or edit any list item properties in general. Below is what the ULS log generates when I try to view
the version history of an item.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I followed what was said in this blog post to remove any extraneous calls of the "Microsoft.Sharepoint.ApplicationPages.dll"
in the GAC or the bin folder of the web application, yet I am still getting the same error.

Hi Max, did you ever get this resolved? if yes, what were steps? thanks

SharePoint Server 2013 Upgrade failure after Updating SP1 + Nov10 CU " Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException' was thrown"

After Successfully having SharePoint Server 2013 Farm Installation on 2 Servers AD + Central Admin Application server, OS: win server 2008 R2 Ent SP1.
I set up the configuration for SharePoint app and Workflow Manager to work properly on the Den environment, the time for SP1 running has come and after downloading the Service pack 1 of SharePoint server 2013 and completing the wizard, I run the SharePoint
2013 Configuration Wizard after installing SharePoint 2013 SP1, and the wizard failed on step 2 with the Error from the Log file as showing below,
"Task upgradebootstrap has failed with an unknown exception
01/04/2015 00:43:30 11 ERR Exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException: Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException' was thrown.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPManager.BootStrap(Guid sessionId, SPUpgradeOperationFlags flags)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.UpgradeBootstrapTask.Run()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.TaskThread.ExecuteTask()"
Also I was not able to create websites like before, and the creating of new site is failed with error message :
"Failed to call GetTypes on assembly Microsoft.Office.TranslationServices, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c. Method not found: 'Microsoft.Office.Web.Common.ProcessImageInfo"
Is there any solution to my problem with SP1 of SharePoint Server 2013, I don't think that SP1 should generate such bugs in a stable environment.

Hi Basel,
What edition of SharePoint do you have and what patch did you attempt to install?
If you are on SharePoint 2013 Enterprise, please make sure you are installing Service Pack 1 for SharePoint Server:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42544
If you are on SharePoint 2013 Foundation, please make sure you are installing Service Pack 1 for SharePoint Foundation :
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42548
For more information, you can refer to the thread:

Hi Benjamin,
If you're getting a Null Value error anywhere, that means a variable you're referencing isn't set to anything. If you're getting that try echoing out each variable after it's assigned to see if it's set to anything.
The link you are referring is for SharePoint 2010 and verified on Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2008, but not Windows Server 2012.
The approach in this case includes the following per the blog:
Check to see if a web application with the current specified URL is already in use – exit if it is
Check to see if an application pool with the name already exists. If so use it, otherwise create one
Create a web application based on the parameters specified
Assign the object cache properties to the new web application
Create policies for the object cache users to the web application
To simplified the code, we could use powershell below to check if web application and application pool have been already in use ahead. And skip the last two steps in the first time.
Get-SPWebApplication | fl displayname, applicationpool
Please refer to New-SPWebApplication
which is used to create a new web application within the local farm:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607931(v=office.15).aspx. Only two parameters i.e. ApplicationPool and Name are required, we could try a simple command at first:
Please run Get-SPManagedAccount to check the managed account, then execute the command below:
$ap = New-SPAuthenticationProvider
New-SPWebApplication -Name "Contoso Internet Site" -Port 2014 -ApplicationPool "ContosoAppPool" -ApplicationPoolAccount (Get-SPManagedAccount "Domain\Administrator")
-AuthenticationProvider $ap -SecureSocketsLayer
