Configuring apps in sharepoint 2013 onpremises
Hi,
we have a lab environment for sharepoint 2013 with
1) Domain controller (domain : test.local)
2) SharePoint server { SQL Server 2012 (full install), SharePoint 2013 (full install)}
Now we would like to configure sharepoint 2013 apps in our environment. In the TechNet blogs and articles ,it says to create a unique domain for the sharepoint apps ... does this mean,we have to create one more domain (one more server) or just add
a domain in the DNS and perform the configuration ?
Below is the point from the TechNet article :
When choosing your App domain for each farm, you have 2 options:
1.Create a new unique domain to host your SharePoint-hosted Apps in, or
2.Create a sub-domain of the existing domain.
The recommendation is to create a new unique domain such as contosoapps.com rather than a sub-domain such as apps.contoso.com.
If you could help me out with steps for configuring the same .. that would be helpful .
Hi Suren,
it does not mean you need to create one more server, you just add a domain forward lookup.
Yes, the recommendation is create a unique domain which internally gets forwared to your domain.
You need to configure forward lookup zone for your apps (here in this example contosoapps.com), in layman terms it is just an alias for your existing domains.
I think you are refering to this URL -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236.aspx
and if you have already followed those steps mentioned in Configure the domain names in DNS (all hosting options)
and go to " To create a wildcard Alias (CNAME) record for the new domain name"
and do ping Apps-12345678ABCDEF.yourdomain.com
to see whether you get reply from above ping.
The steps that are given in the above link is easy to perform, do let me know where you got stuck.
Hope this helps!

Configuring Apps for SharePoint 2013 - Host Header Sites
Hi All
I am busy planning our Apps for SharePoint deployment and one gotcha seems to be sites that use host headers. Our current deployment consists of the following:
2x WFE's (WFESRV1 and WFESRV2)
2x App Servers (APPSRV1 and APPSRV2)
The WFE's are load-balanced and we have 2 sites, portal.intranet.com and mysite.intranet.com. Both use host headers. I have gotten to the point where I will have a DNS zone called companyapps.com and a CNAME *.companyapps.com.
To which site do I point the CNAME to and what if I need both sites to be App enabled? Also, a lot of sites mention I need a empty site collection on a separate IP in order to use Apps with host headers. How would I use this empty site collection and
what would I name it?
We are on the March 2013 update.May Be I understand your question as *.companyapps.com should be pointed to sharepoint server but where in IIS binding would you map *.companyapps.com
Actually, When you configure the APPS on server, the central admin > apps > you have to mention this *.companyapps.com. Now all apps will be "(yourname)-guid.companyapps.com"
Then you will have to create a app catalog where all the app related details will be stored
When App service application is created it is automatically added to default service connection. and this service connection to mapped to other web application(Application management, you see service connection)
If all is configured well apps will automatically work for all web apps -
Configure Apps for SharePoint 2013 in dev environment without DNS
I have a SP 2013 dev env
http://spitlab/ .I want to configure app store in this environment
will I be able to do it without access to a DNS server
I followed the below two articles
http://www.ashokraja.me/post/Develop-SharePoint-2013-Napa-App-In-Local-Dev-Environment-Configuring-On-Premises-without-DNS.aspx
I am able to install third party apps but when I click on it . it gets redirected to sfs.in
next i try this
http://sharepointconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2013/07/shortcut-to-prepare-sharepoint-2013-app.html
same thing I am able to install 3rd party apps but when i click on it .. it goes to intranet.com
so is it possible to install third party apps on a dev box without DNS and check out third party apps and if what steps am i missing ?Hi,
If you click the 3rd party apps and it is redirected to sfs.in or intranet.com, this means you configured app domain correctly.
You can read the official document per the following first link to understand what app domain is (with DNS configured), app domain format is as bellow image (borrowed from this
article), and app domain is defined as you want(e.g. ContosoApps.com).
Without DNS, as your above two articles described, the app domain (e.g. apps.com, or apps.sfs.in) is written manually in hosts file directly, you can construct an app domain as your own, then after you install a custom developed app, it should be the following
app url format.

Office Web Apps Load Balancing Configuration Issue for SharePoint 2013
I have load balanced servers dedicated for Office Web Apps with name “md1xxxwfe1” and “md1xxxwfe2”
, both this servers are load balanced by CISCO Load balancer. And I have mapped Load Balancer Virutal IP with host name officeapps.jda.corp.local in the DNS records.
Things are working fine if I add new farm by using New-OfficeWebAppsFarm
with server name as internalurl in PowerShell console
as like “ -internalurl http://
md1xxxwfe1 but when I use –internalurl officeapps.jda.corp.local it is not working at all. I’m not getting what to do at this point.
I have gone through following blogs but no luck.

The output of the wfe1 server is attached with this. When I open http:// /hosting/discovery in wfe1 I’m getting following result (attached

Please help me
Thanks, Ram ChHi Ram ,
For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
Just about any load balancing solution will work, including a server that runs the Web Server (IIS) role running Application Request Routing (ARR):Install
Application Request Routing
Install the certificate on the load balancer as described under Securing Office Web Apps Server communications by using
HTTPS.
Make sure you have configured the cluster correctly for full internet name:

Configure an Environment for Apps for SharePoint 2013
hH,
We are building QA environment for Sharepoint 2013. For this my management asked me to configure the APPS store. But when i referred the MSDN article, they are suggesting
" You must purchase a domain name from a domain name provider for your apps, for example, ContosoApps.com."
Which is not possible in my case as purchasing a new domain requires lot of approvals also this is an QA environment.
So please suggest on the below points
1) whats wrong to build a sub domain like APPS.XXXX.COM instead of XXXXAPPS.COM
2) since it is in a QA environment, is it necessary to have a SSL ??
3) is it need to have a different APPS stores for QA & PROD environments.
Thanks,
Praveen
Sharepoint HELPHi Praveen,
you don't need to buy a domain use your internal DNS
no need for SSL since it is QA
i think you mean app catalog, each environment will be having it app catalog

Workflow is not visible for a list in an app in SharePoint 2013
Hello All,
I have created an app in SharePoint 2013 and added a basic workflow in this app.
Though the solution gets deployed successfully, workflow is not visible in list --> Workflow Settings.
Has anyone faced this kind of issue in SP 2013 App ? Please provide your inputs to resolve this issue.
Thanks.Hi Supratim,
I would suggest you that you try to analyze the workflow log and see where the workitem goes exactly.
See if the workflow goes into error or if the workflow gets routed to the wrong agent.
Also let us know how the agent determination is being done?
Is it been done using rule or is it static agent assignment?

Timesheet App in Sharepoint 2013
How to add timesheet app in sharepoint 2013.i tried but cant get the result.Please suggest me the correct way to add timesheet App in sp 2013.Using that i want to create Dashboard for displaying the Project details.
Want immediate solution for this.I understand that you want to implement timesheets in SharePoint. In SharePoint 2010, there is an OOTB timecard list template. You can create a timecard list in this way:
Activate the Group Work Lists feature for the site.
Then open the site in SharePoint designer.
Click File>Add Item> More Lists.
Then you can find the timecard list template.
Or you can use the codeplex timesheet template. For more information, please refer to these sites:

I've used Project Web App on Sharepoint 2013. After clear job queue about force check-in then I've got this error. This made me can't access some pages in PWA anymore e.g. Project center, Resoure center, PWA setting, etc. Who have ever found this problem,
pls. help.
The pop up error msg. is "Sorry, you don't have access to this page"Hi,
According to your description, after you cleared job queue about force check-in then you can't access some pages in PWA.
Maybe you need to check in the pages which has been checked out.
If you have administrative rights, it is possible to override the check-out via the View All Site Content page:
Site Actions->View All Site Content->Pages->Hover the item you want to check in, and from the context-menu (arrow-down next to the filename), choose "Discard Check Out"
Besides, to troubleshooting the error “Sorry, you don't have access to this page”, refer to the following articles:

Create Task with C# - App for SharePoint 2013
Hi everyone,
I need to create an app that can manage holiday for my company and we want to sync the demand Holiday with their tasks in Project Server 2013.
Unfortunatly, I cannot find how to add a task with an "App for SharePoint 2013" and in C#.
I've tried to add the task by entering an entry in the Project Server database but unfortunatly, it does not work.
Are there an other way to create task programmatically in Project Server 2013 ?
Thanks by advance,

How to use OneDrive for Business mobile app with SharePoint 2013 on-premise?
Hi All,
I have a SharePoint 2013 (with latest December updates) that host a dedicated personal web site for users.
The OneDrive portal works fine and users are able to sync their files with the OneDrive client for Windows.
Now I want to test the OneDrive for Business mobile app on Android, but there is no option to specify the "personal" portal URL.
It asks only for domain credentials.
Does I need to configure specific records on my public DNS to allow mobile users to sync their files?
ThanksI can confirm that with iOS you can connect to your SharePoint server through the advanced options.
But the very strange thing is that the OneDrive version for Windows Phone 8.1 is limited as the Android version.
This has no sense.
Why does Microsoft should limit the Business functions on its mobile operating system, and not on iOS?
Another strange thing is that configuring my Exchange account, Windows Phone 8.1 informed me that it has connected OneDrive for business (but is a fake information).
See attached image.
If I open the built-in OneDrive app, it give me the option to add a OneDrive for business account, but is only for Office 365 users (like with the Android version).
I thing that Microsoft should let at least to Windows Phone users to connect to on-premise SharePoint sites. -
Using office web apps with SharePoint 2013
Hi,
I would like to use office web apps in our SharePoint 2013 environment. I would like to know if OWA has to have a dedicated server or can I install it on the SharePoint 2013 app server.
SherazadWith SharePoint 2013, Office Web Apps cannot be installed on the SharePoint Server, it must be installed on its own server, not shared with any other IIS-based service (it essentially "takes over" IIS).

Can't Export ALL Comments from Issues Tracking app in Sharepoint 2013
I really like the flexability of the SharePoint 2013 Issues Tracking application. I am able to enter the initial issue, then update it regularly with "comments". Each comment is added as a seperate entry to the issue, date stamped, etc.
The issue I am having is in exporting this to Excel. I know, I know, the purpose of SharePoint is that you DON'T turn everything into an Excel spreadsheet. However, I have to send the issues to an external contact that does not have access to the SharePoint
environment. When I export to Excel, it only adds the LAST comment to the Comments column in the spreadsheet. I need all comments combined, and dropped into the correct cell.
Is there a way to do this? I found another thread where it seemed everyone accepted the fact that this was not possible, but I thought I'd try one more time and see if there were any new ideas.
I believe this is tied to the option of "Append Changes to Existing Text" that is available in the Edit Column settings for the Issues Tracking app. I see that you can turn this off, but then you lose the ability to date-stamp each entry. If there
is no good solution, then I think the only alternative would be to turn this off, then just manually add a date to each time.
Word of caution!! If you have a bunch of comments already appended, and THEN you decide to change the option from Append Yes to Append No, it will hide all previous comments. I did this and thought I'd lost them, but when I changed the option back
to Append Changes, they were all still there. I may need to manually cut-paste every single comment out, change to Append No, and then manually past the entire comment thread back in. Will be very tedious for a large issues log.
Thank you.
BillUpdate - The only solution I was able to change to "Append Changes to Existing Text", then do as I dreaded, which was to manually cut and past every comment out then back into the single field. Definitely a good lessons-learned to set the
value to "Append Changes to Existing Text" before starting.
