Deployed solution not appearing in Site Collection Features

I've created and deployed a solution via VS 2012. The web parts are there functioning as intended. The problem is I do not see the feature in Site Collections features so when I go to deploy to production via powershell I cannot activate the feature in the
normal way. It is only activated in DEV because I'm deploying straight from VS.
As always any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mark

I have figured it out I think because now it's showing up. After looking at some feature config from some other projects I noticed Always Force install and Auto Activate In Central Admin was set to False. I set them to false in my feature and for whatever
reason it's showing up now.
To summarize:
Changed the scope from Web to Site
Set Always force install to False
Set Always Activate in Central Admin to False
Thank you all for your help on this.

Feature not appearing in site collection features list using powershell

I created a custom web part solution which adds a custom web part to the web part gallery - simple.
I did this on my dev server and used Visual Studio's deploy button to deploy it, and it all worked. The solution was added to the Solution Store, my feature was now in the Site Collection features list and automatically activated. So I checked my web part
gallery and it was there as well... great.
Now I'm ready to migrate my simple web part to my Prod server. I managed to use WSP builder to build my wsp. So now i have my wsp file.
I used Powershell to add my solution to my Prod server, that worked. So I ran the Install-SPSolution command and looking at the logs, it all seemed to install fine. Here are the commands I used:
Add-SPSolution “E:\Deployment WSPs\HRFeedbackForm.wsp“
Install-SPSolution -Identity "HRFeedbackForm.wsp" -GACDeployment
However, when I go to my Site Collection Features, I can't see my feature. There is nothing in my 14 hive either and as far as I can see, and there are no errors in my log files.
So what have I done wrong?
So I tested adding and deploying the same solution on my dev box using Powershell and I had the same problem as what I've experienced on my Prod server. So what's the difference between deploying solutions via Visual Studio Deploy and using those powershell
commands??? Is there something else I'm meant to change, somewhere?
I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.

Hi,
I wonder whether you have to populate this web part by force in your web part gallery.
For this, go to your Site's Home page. Then...
Site Action > Site Settings > Galleries > Web Parts
From here...
Under Library Tools go to Documents Tab > Click on New Documents > The New Web Parts popup will open
Here search for your web part. If you find it, select it and Check "Overwrite if file already exisists" and click on Populate Gallery.
If the above does not work, I am stumped too. I will be curious what other members of the community have to add.
Thanks, Soumya | MCITP, SharePoint 2010
Omg it was there and i've added it to the web parts library and it works.... that was soooo strange.
Thanks Soumya :)
Can you explain at all why the web part has been added to the web part gallery, but the feature doesn't appear under site collection features?

Activate button not working in Site Collection features

I just created a new web application and then Site Collection with "Team Site" template. Now when I want to activate "Publishing infrastructure" the "ACTIVATE" button is not working ..even not any button is working..whenever
click on any button the page scrolls on the top.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not activate the “Publishing infrastructure” feature.
To narrow the issue, you can check with the following steps.
Did the issue occur in other browsers? You can use other browsers, such as Firefox or Chrome, to check whether it works.
Did the issue occur in other site collections? You can create a new site collection or use other site collections in other web applications to check whether it works.
You can also check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
Thanks & Regards,

User Profile email address not updated on Site Collection User Information

Hi All,
Ok here we go....SharePoint 2007 with SSP profile sync not enabled, however I have a few profiles I need to update (email address). This has been completed by editing the user profile in SSP, but when viewing the information via Site Collection >
People & Groups > User Information "Work E-mail" is still showing the old one.
All alerts are still being sent to the old email address, SSP DB UserProfile_Full shows the new email address as per SSP.
Anyone know where else user profile emails are stored which is used by Exchange?
Many Thanks, Roger

As per the following post from GuYuming
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/319d5b0e-336a-4815-9ee5-5d1685db867f/how-to-send-sharepoint-alerts-to-users-on-different-domain?forum=sharepointadminlegacy
After the email address in SharePoint user profile is updated to [email protected], you have to wait until
they are synchronized into the user information list in SharePoint site collections so that alert can be sent to that address. For detail, please read http://vspug.com/mirjam/2009/06/17/user-profiles-and-the-user-information-list-or-userinfo-table/ and http://blogs.technet.com/paulpaa/archive/2009/10/01/user-profile-information-not-updated-on-site-collection-s-people-and-group.aspx

Alerts are not working for Site collections in a content database

Hi,
We have been into a strange issue that alerts are not working for site collections from a particular content database. When user subscribed for the alerts, they are getting mail about their subscription but not after that for any new items/documents added
or changes happen in the list/document library.
We have tried with Immediate as well as scheduled alerts both are not working.
FYI, Alerts for all other site collections from different content database for the same web application are working without any issues.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ramkumar

Looks like an Timer job Issue for your web application. Can you please check if these jobs are enabled and check error log for the alerts Timer jobs .Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application.

Usage reports are not getting in site collection level

Verified that Analytics Usage, Feature Use, and
Page Requests are selected under the
Events to Log.
Verified that jobs Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import and
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Processing scheduled and are working fine under

Usage File is getting created successfully-see attached
(typically found

In this folder, a .usage file should be getting created if all above steps are healthy and working correctly. Ideally we will see a *.tmp file and periodically
a *.usage file is getting generated.
As a last option we have tried by re-creating the Usage service application with above steps.

The amount and variety of formatting makes reading your post very difficult.
You have contradictory information there; is this for SharePoint 2013, if so this is in the wrong forum, or is this for 2010 in which case your title is misleading.
You have not described your issues very clearly. I believe that you cannot see site collection analytics, are these blank/empty or throwing an error? Are the usage files appearing in the expected location?
Have you checked the timer jobs that run nightly to compile the analytics reports?

Search does not crawl new site collection and documents

We have the following situation. We have two locations with different farms sharing the same databases (using AlwaysOn for the content databases). Everything works fine, the second site is also read-only while having the primary farm online. For existing
databases the search crawler on the second site is able to crawl existing site collections.
For new site collections created on the first farm the crawler on the first farm indexes the content proberly. The second farm though is not knowledgable of the content unless you force him to reiterate the content database. After this procedure the sites
are available on the second site as well (showing them in the web browser), but the search farm still is not able to see the new site collection and data created within.
Is there any additional iteration we have to go through making the crawler aware of the new structure / content ?
Thanks in advance, Jens

Nope.
Change log wipes are real, that's how incremental crawls work in SharePoint.
Site A is created and modified. Changes are mirrored to the second AG, content is added, logged in the changes log and then removed as the crawler on the primary farm indexes it.
This continues until you make farm 2 aware of the changes. At that point farm 2 will look for any changes to the content in the change logs on the newly added sites. Which will be empty, or at least not contain any changes since the primary farm's last crawl.
That explains why you don't get sites indexed properly when they are added but would explain why some content is indexed afterwards which i believe is the case?
The second issue you'll find is that the crawls won't synchronise. Assuming continuous crawls kicking off at the same time you'll end up in a race between the two. If the primary farm is quicker then the second farm will continuously fall behind then catch
up and go ahead of the primary indexing process, but if the secondary farm is faster then it'll race off into the distance and then any changes that occur between the secondary farm indexing a site and the primary indexing the site will be lost on the secondary
farm.
You'll have to run full crawls. Unless MS have done a lot of work on the supporting infrastructure incremental or continuous crawls of AOAGs won't work well.

List solutions being used by site collections

Is there anyway in powershell to list which site collection is using which solution/template in sharepoint 2010?
Thanks
Dave Kozlowski

if it is a sandbox solution then you will get use this command:
Get-SPUserSolution -Site http://test
But if you have Farm level Solution then use this command:
Get-SPSolution
to get which template is being used for site collection, this will go through site collection and all webs and list it.
$site = Get-SPSite "http://yoursite"
foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs) {
$web | Select-Object -Property Title,Url,WebTemplate
$site.Dispose()
if you want to process all site collection in a web app.

Search not working in site collections migrated from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint Server 2013

I have few site collections migrated from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint Server 2013 using database attach (first to 2010 and then to 2013).
When I search for anything in these migrated sites, I get "Nothing here matches your search".
Checked the crawl log for these sites and see this error for all items.
The content processing component failed to process the security descriptor of the item. ( The input ACL is invalid (1210 / 2072).; ; SearchID =
Some-Random-GUID )
Search works fine in newly created sites in 2013 environment.
Please help.

Hello
Did you migrate your users to claims when you migrated the databases?
$wa = Get-SPWebApplication http://yourdom.com
$wa.MigrateUsers($true)
$wa.ProvisionGlobally()
I assume the sites that work and the migrated content are in the same database?

Deployed Application Not appearing in Task Pane

I have deployed an application, have mapped all the required Roles to Participants...post successfull deployment, when i am loggin into BPM workspace,Application doesnt appear.However Application Roles are all getting displayed into Admin Console of BPM.

Hi Durgadas
1. You mean to say, on left side you do not see a link for your application to initiate a task. Am I right ? If so, first check if you have some Users added to that first Initiator Role. If you deployed your app one time from JDev at that time only all the participants you add for that role will be stored in the db. Any later redeployments with more participants will not be reflected. This is part of design of bpm itself. So from BPM Workspace, login as admin. From Adminstrator link, add the users to that Role and see if that helps. If you added particpants in the JDeveloper IDE itself, they may not be reflected, even though you see them listed in admin console. So better delete existing participants or add some new participants and see if that works.
2. I hope the first user task, that submits the task has actions like Submit and it should be Initiator type user task. When you edit the user task and add a human task, at that time, select from drop down as Initiator with only one Action like Submit.
3. Restarting the server helps sometimes. But this may not be the root cause for your issue. Everytime you add a new participant to initiator role, we cannot expect to restart the soa servers. Add a new user from bpm admin console and thats all we need.
Thanks

Photo albums not appearing in site on own server

Hi, I have a small personal site, www.baskie.com it's built (badly!) using iWeb and it's hosted on my own server.
When I used iWeb 08, published to a folder, then uploaded to my server using an FTP client as was well, now with iWeb09 I have set things up to upload direct to my server using iWeb. All is well except no pictures or albums appear.
The albums and pics appear in iWeb on my Macbook no problem, but nothing appears on the server after uploading.
Anyone any ideas?

I Have the same problem and don't find any solution.
Please Help Us.

Image not appearing when site is uploaded

I have a very frustrating problem - I've designed a site and it works perfectly well when published to the test business catalyst site. My client likes to upload it himself, so I exported it to html and sent it to him. However, there's an image on one of the pages that simply won't appear on the page when the site is uploaded. There is just the broken image link symbol and a big blank space. I've checked the page src code and it's pointing to the right image; the image is in the folder... I am not a web developer, I'm just a designer so I don't have the knowledge to fix this and I have a very unhappy and pissed off client. Can anybody help me please? I don't know where to go from here.
The image is actually an image of the person's CV as I was unable to put the text in there due to Muse's lack of being able to handle tables (something I am so flabbergasted about - can't imagine why not) and also it can't do tab stops (why?) so I'd love to know if anyone else has tried to present a CV using Muse where years have to line up with text, in tabular form!!
I'm using a macbook pro, latest model with OS 10.7.5.

Thank you yes, I should have given you that!
The site where it's failing to load is: http://www.christelvanderlaan.com/cv.html
The site/page where it's fine is: http://christelvanderlaan.businesscatalyst.com/cv.html
Appreciate any kind of explanation!

Special characters & picture frames do not appear when site is loaded

When I publish my "new" site to a folder and open it everything looks fine; however, when I upload the site to my server, all special characters (bullets, apostrophes, quotes, tabs, etc. along with picture frames show up as ??? or squares. Checked in Foxfire and Safari; no difference between browsers. Note: used iWeb SEO.
Any ideas what's going wrong and how to fix it?

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? I've no experience with either of those apps. I use Web Site Maestro for optimizing and uploading my sites. It works very well.
