When to use Managed Metadata service in Sharepoint 2013 and 2010

Hi Folks,
I have been working on sharepoint from quiet some time now. I have been using managed metadata service also.
What I have not been able to find out so far is when should I be using MMS.
What are the real advantages that I can draw out of it.
I have one application that has Managed Metadata installed and has various terms stores and terms.
The Managed metadata service created is utilized in search,
What I do not know is what is why are we using it at all.
What is benefit of it.
Managed metadata service could also be used in navigation is what i know.
But what confused me is when is the best scenario to use it for navigation.
Why can we not use the navigation provider in the managed metadata service.
There might be other uses also, but that is not clear to me.
Can any one tell me why and in which scenario to really use it.
I know how to configure the mms and how it works though the jargons around the managed metadata.
Regards

Managed Metadata has some specific advantages that make it useful for certain situations.
A managed metadata column has the following advantages over a lookup or choice column:
A managed metadata term set can be shared across the entire SharePoint farm, so you can use it in different site collections.
You can set up "synonyms" so that multiple similar terms resolve to the same underlying piece of information
Terms can be hierarchical (terms can be nested under other terms), and the SharePoint interface allows hierarchical filtering. For example, if I have a term set for Location, and one of my terms is North America, with terms below that for United States,
Mexico, and Canada, I could choose to filter my list to show me all records with any North America location (inclusive of US, Mexico, and Canada), or to filter on a specific term (such as Mexico).
You can allow people to enter new terms, which will then appear in the term set.
You can specify information owners/stakeholders who maintain the term sets without them needing elevated access to sites; normally only site owners can mess with site columns and content types. Managed metadata lets you separate information management
(what terms/synonyms should be used) from site management (granting access, creating groups and lists, etc).
There are some disadvantages too. For example, with a lookup column, the lookup list can store additional columns of information. A managed metadata term set (on the other hand) only really stores terms (and descriptions/synonyms), but not related
info. You might be tempted to do something like create a term set for part numbers, representing every part that your company produces; the term set would handle the part numbers just fine, but wouldn't let you add extra columns of information for
description, weight, price, etc. In such a case, a lookup list is the better option.
Microsoft has some suggested guidelines for when to use managed metadata/term store:
SharePoint 2013:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee519604(v=office.15).aspx
SharePoint 2010:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee519604(v=office.14).aspx
A brief summary...
Managed metadata is a good option when the potential metadata meets the following criteria:
Is something for which a user will select a valid value
Represents information that is likely to be used multiple times
Has valid values that can be organized hierarchically
Includes synonyms or abbreviations that should be aggregated
Can be applied in one language, but might be viewed in other languages
Managed metadata is not a good option if the potential metadata meets any of the following criteria:
Is represented by a built-in column (such as “last modified date”)
Has an infinite number of valid values
Has different valid values in each location that it is used (such as different values for the “version” attribute depending on which product team’s site the item appears in)*
Has only “yes” and “no” as valid values
*This type of metadata could still be captured in site collection-specific term stores

How to configure Search for a site in sharepoint 2013?

Hi,
I had a document library.
1)I want to configure search so that I can search documents from previous month, quarterly, half year, year, and all documents is possible.

3)Search results have year as refiner that can be used to show results only from specified year (In library we have field with year when document create)
To achieve this what I have chane in site settings->search

Workflow Manager 1.0 with SharePoint 2013

Hi Guys,
I understand as per below link that minimum three servers are required to provide high availability for Workflow Manager 1.0 in SharePoint 2013.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sanjaynarang/archive/2013/04/06/sizing-and-capacity-planning-for-sharepoint-2013-resources.aspx
Could anyone please point me Microsoft resources or let me know what needs to be installed on the three servers and Hardware pre-requisites?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Badal

Hi Badal,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to configure the high availability for Workflow Manager 1.0 with SharePoint 2013.
Per my knowledge, the three servers just have the same Hardware pre-requisites:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193466.aspx
You can use Network Load Balancing (NLB), Application Request Routing (ARR) or slightly less trivial with another load balancing solution to implement the high availability for Workflow Manager.

Workflows 2013 and SQL Report Services: Configure on Independent Servers or Existing App Servers?

Currently, my SharePoint 2013 Farm has Workflows 2013 and SQL Report Services installed on app servers, along with other applications. Workflows 2013 isn't working correctly (installed prior to my coming on board with the organization), I'm assuming it
is a configuration issue, but rather than re-configure, I've read that is recommended to be a standalone server. It was also recommended by a MSFT rep that our report services have its own independent server. Currently, Report Services is also installed on
an app server that runs other applications on the farm.
Has anyone had any experience with installing Workflows 2013 and/or SQL Report Services on independent vs. existing application servers?
Additionally, my existing application servers have 24 GB of RAM (I believe the recommendation for SharePoint production environments is 12 GB), should I plan for the potentially new servers (Workflows and Report Services) to also have 24 GB of RAM? Not really
sure if it will be needed if they have dedicated tasks.
Thanks for any input you can provide!

It entirely depends on load. WFM will work just fine installed on servers in the SharePoint farm. SSRS preferably should go on the end-user facing servers for better performance.
The questions you're asking are all "it depends" :)

How to configure my 3gs iphone? it says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable...... :(

how to configure my 3gs iphone? it says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable......
i live in iran. this 3gs was a gift from america .. it contains NOTHING. i can do nothing with it. it cannot be updated cuz the version is low. i dunno what t do please help.

Possible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
5. The phone was reported stolen. If it was it can never be activated again.
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

Update Managed Metadata field in SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow for O365

Hi Guys,
I need to update the managed metadata field in SharePoint Custom List using Workflow but its not working. I have also tried to use the HTTP WebService POST Operation but no luck.
Am doing this for a SharePoint Online (O365) Site.
Has anyone worked on something similar and was able to get it running ?
I saw a post to create a custom Workflow Activity but I don't have a choice to go with the custom code option.
http://patrickboom.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/workflow-activity-set-managed-metadata-column/
I was able to achieve this by creating a SP 2010 based Workflow for O365. Which means that it worked well with SP 2010.
Is there a different way to do it in 2013 ? I tried almost all options apart from creating custom Activity but nothing worked out.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Nutan
Nutan Sharma

Hi Nutan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update Managed Metadata field with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint Online.
As far as I know, there is not an OOB action to achieve your requirement with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint 2013. Customizing a workflow action is a better option to achieve it. Why didn’t you customize a workflow action as Patrick’s blog?
In addition, please take a look at the article about Nintex workflow, check whether it is useful for you:
http://habaneroconsulting.com/insights/setting-managed-metadata-fields-in-a-nintex-workflow#.UykBSf6KDHo
As this issue is about SharePoint Online, I suggest you create a new thread on SharePoint Online forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicessharepoint . More experts will assist you.
I hope this helps.

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 HELP

Hi 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

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager?
when I check on Microsoft site it says
Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server
or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
When you open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), if the report was
created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace.
This is the only way you can upgrade a report definition file.
Now here is another confusing statement which says
You can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server
2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. The report server stores the report definition file in the original format. The report is automatically upgraded the first time it is viewed, but the stored report definition file remains
unchanged.
All I want to know is if I deploy a rdl made in 2008 r2 to 2012 will it work on the report manager of
2012?
<o:p>
</o:p>
Mudassar

I have tested this fucntionality and can confirm that ssrs 2008 r2 reports work when you deploy them on new ssrs 2012 report manager .
No Migration is required .
I didnt even moved report server dbs .All I did is just deployed reports on the report manager and it worked .
"You
can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server 2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. "
Microsoft needs to correct this the documentation is misleading

Setup closed with exit code: 0x84C40013 - Silent Install error - SQL Server 2012 express management studio SP1

I am trying to create a silent installation package for SQL Server 2012 Express Management Studio SP1. (both x86 & x64)
Prior to installation I have performed the following :
1. Turned ON the Windows feature 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1' (I had read somewhere on the internet that this is required prior to installation)
2. Installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
I am using the following command line to perform an unattended install :
<EXENAME> /Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
However, the installation fails abruptly.
The application installs successfully with the following command line :
<EXENAME> /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
The error occurs only while attempting to install the application with the /Q switch appended.
Please help.

Hello Fanny,
Thanks for providing the link to the SQL Server 2012 unattended install guide.
However, I must highlight that I was running the setup.exe with "Run As a Administrator" option and still facing the issue.
Anyways, I found out the root cause and I must say that it was a rather silly one.
As I had stated previously, the following command line was causing the issue :
<EXENAME>
/Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
I simply changed it to the following and it worked....
<EXENAME>
/QUIET /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=INSTALL /FEATURES=TOOLS
It so seems that everything must be in CAPITALS for this to work.

How to Construct the Email To activity in SharePoint 2013 Workflow

I have a created a custom workflow and custom association and initiation form using SharePoint 2013.
My Assn. form is fine. I pass in the people picker (Active Directory group) value to my workflow just fine.
Now on my Init form I use the passed in value from people picker and display a list of users and email addresses from the people picker group. The list of users and email addresses are listed in a table with a check box to the left of each row. I am
using JQuery, Knockout and MVC web service to retrieve the values from the group.
All is well.
Now my users pick who they want to send the email to. Let's say they pick two users!
When the user clicks the submit button, I have JSOM code which starts the workflow and sends in the 2 users email addresses as an argument to theworkflow.
Note: I tried sending my two emails as a collection and failed. So i converted it to a string. The variable is called strUsers.
Since the argument is a string and Email Activity requires the To attribute to be an array, I use the BuildCollection<String> Activity to convert my string to an array.
Now in my workflow I use WriteToHistory Activity to write out my BuildCollection variable (recipients). Here's what is sent to the workflow history... [email protected];joejones@yahoo,com) Note:
Both names are bogus and I'm not Joe Jones.
I then configure the email Activity and set to To property to my BuildActivity variable (recipients).
When I deploy my Visual Studio 2013 solution, and attach my workflow to a publishing page, I am getting this error after I submit the Init form.
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of workflow instance. System.ArgumentNullException.
Does anyone know of an example of how to set up the Email To collection value.
Note: I tried using comma and semi-colon for my string (strUsers). Neither worked.
Thanks
Tom

I think I'm getting close.
Here’s an
article
that helped me out and below is my code. Note: I added a ParseDynamicValue and GetDynamicValueProperty to push the data from the "emails" property to colleciton of strings called EmailCollect.
Here is what the data look likes
The value of Selected Emails is [{"emails":"[email protected]"},{"emails":"[email protected]"}]
Code excerpt in InitiationForm. Note: I am using MVVM and Knockout for the selected users from a list with checkboxes.
  //build array for workflow
  var emailUsers =
new Array();
  //cycle through viewmodel emails
for (var
i = 0; i < viewModel.SelectedEmails().length; i++)
var a =
new Object();
                    a["emails"]
= viewModel.SelectedEmails()[i];
                    emailUsers.push(a);
wfParams['strSelectedEmailsHMgr']
= JSON.stringify(emailUsers);
     // Get workflow subscription
and then start the workflow
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var wfManager = SP.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager.newObject(context, context.get_web());
var wfDeployService = wfManager.getWorkflowDeploymentService();
var subscriptionService = wfManager.getWorkflowSubscriptionService();
                context.load(subscriptionService);
                context.executeQueryAsync(
function (sender, args) {
// Success
var subscription =
null;
// Load the workflow subscription
if (subscriptionId)
                            subscription = subscriptionService.getSubscription(subscriptionId);
if (subscription) {
if (itemId !=
null && itemId !=
// Start list workflow
                                wfManager.getWorkflowInstanceService().startWorkflowOnListItem(subscription,
itemId, wfParams);
Now I deploy and publish the workflow but now I’m getting this error when trying to
