Is workflow reporting available in SharePoint 2013?

Is there any reporting around workflows for SharePoint 2013? It appears (based on various posts) that there was a link called "View Workflow Reports" available in 2010 but that it was removed for 2013. My customer would like to see statistics
on active workflows, timestamps of approvals, status, phases, number of workflows in process vs. completed, time between steps, etc. Is any of this available in 2013? Thanks.

Hello,
If you want to view the history of a workflow, you can type the URL:
http://team-site-address/Lists/Workflow%20history/AllItems.aspx (please modify the URL to your site address) in the browser and check all the history of the workflow.
Here is the reference link

Hope this help!
Thanks!

How to get analytics reports programmatically in SharePoint 2013?

In SharePoint 2010 it was possible to obtain data from web analytics programmatically using Microsoft.Office.Server.WebAnalytics.Reporting.AnalyticsReportFunction class.
How can you get search reports programmatically in SharePoint 2013? Are there new assemblies or classes that can be used to obtain them?
In my scenario, i am mostly interested in the most searched terms at web application or service application level.
In SharePoint 2013 the Web Analytics Service Application was merged into the Search Service Application. It seems now that the old assemblies used for this (Microsoft.Office.Server.WebAnalytics.dll
and Microsoft.Office.Server.WebAnalytics.UI.dll) are not available any more.
They are available in the user interface as Excel reports, in CA->Application Management->Manage Service Applications->Search Service Application->Usage Reports , but I am interested to obtain these reports programmatically.
Is this scenario still supported in SP 2013?

try this
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(MainBUPageUrl))//open root

SSRS 2012 report integrated with SharePoint 2013 issue :Report refreshing after some idle time

we have SSRS 2012 report integrated with SharePoint 2013 , when we click on any toggle item after some idle time of 60 secs and try again to expand
another toggle item then complete report is getting refreshed and if we are in child report it is redirecting to parent report. . we didn’t set any refreshing property at report level. I hope there will be some idle time setting at sharepoint site
level.
what we observed.
1. there is no problem when we expand toggle items without any idle time.
2. when we open the report and expand few toggles and keep idle for 60 seconds and try
again to expand another toggle item then complete report is getting refreshed (all toggle items are collapsing).
3. If you keep idle for 60 minutes and if you didn’t do any action like expanding toggle
items it is not refreshing.
why it is happening and how to stop that complete refresh.
Surendra Thota

Hi Surendra,
I have tested on my local environment and the issue can be caused by the session time out ,the time out of the report precessing, database timeout,DataSet query execution timeout and so on.
I would like to confirm that the refresh you have mentioned is the page refresh or the report reloading?
Please reference to the setting below to don't limit the timeout values if you got the report reloading:
Point to a report in the library.
Click the down arrow, and select Manage processing options.
In Processing Time-out, select Do not time out report processing or
Limit report processing in seconds if you want to override that value with no time-out or different time-out values.
If you got the session timeout that refresh the page, please reference to the setting in below article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492284.aspx#bkmk_session_settings_section
Details information in the article below about the timeout setting for your reference:

How to configure Reporting functionality to SharePoint 2013 if RS is already installed as Native mode

Is it possible to publish reports to SharePoint if SQL Server 2012 reporting service is on native mode?
How to do it?
I have SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012. I have created cube and reports with its data tools. This is single server environment.
This is what I have done:
A) I can successfully see from SQL Server installation tool that "Reporting Service-SharePoint" and "Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products" are checked.
B) I don't see Reporting Services under the Manage Service Application of the SharePoint Central Admin.
c) When I choose report from reporting service project and I click deploy, it asks Reporting Services Login, but it does not accept admin logins. Server path should be valid.
I got idea from following instruction that I should register and start the Reporting Services SharePoint service
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx
C) I tried to run command Install-SPRSService, but it was not recognized cmdlet command.
D) I see from Reporting Service Configuration Manager that Reporting Server Mode is Native. Report Service Status is Started.
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
Since the release of SQL Server 2012, Reporting Services SharePoint Integrated mode has been changed from a Windows Service to be a SharePoint Shared Service. In this way, Reporting Services Configuration Manager no longer supports Reporting Services SharePoint
mode, and all the configurations of SharePoint mode is completed using SharePoint Central Administration.
In SSRS 2008 R2 or lower version, only one report server (either native mode or SharePoint integrated mode) can be active at one time in one SSRS instance. In SSRS 2012, the report server that runs in SharePoint integrated mode and the report server that
runs in Native mode work separately at the same time in one SSRS 2012 instance. So, in this issue, you don’t need to care about the report server that runs in native mode when you work with the report server that runs in SharePoint mode.
First, please install SQL Server 2012 SP1 which introduces more BI features.
For the issue you encounter when running the commands to register the Reporting Services SharePoint Service, it may occur if you run the commands in the Windows Powershell instead of the SharePoint Management Shell. Please launch the SharePoint Management
Shell by clicking Start-> All Promgrams -> Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Products -> SharePoint 2013 Management Shell. Then, please continue the steps in the following document or blog to create a Reporting Services Service Application:
Install Reporting Services SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2013
Installing and configuring SQL Reporting services on SharePoint 2013
After a SSRS Service Application is created properly, to deploy the project to the SharePoint integrated mode report server, please see the project property settings in the following document:

How can i launch the report builder from client machines.
But when i try to launch the application from the server itself then it runs fine. I am not able to run it from client machines
kukdai

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not launch report builder in the client machine.
Did you install the .Net 4.0 framework on your machine?
.Net 4.0 framework needed to be installed on each user's machine, you can install it, then check whether it works.

As this is the forum for SharePoint server on-premise, I’m not familiar with the Reporting service, for this issue, I recommend you can post a new question in the forum for SQL Server Reporting Services.

What are different Data archival approaches available in SharePoint 2013?

I want to know what are the different Data archival approaches available in SharePoint 2013 apart from Record Management?

Record center is the best template available for data archival.
You can also use IRM for Data Archiving
Also I would suggest you to use BLOB stoage which will reduce addional burden on SQL server:

Disable Edit Report Option from SharePoint 2013 PowerView Dasboard

Hi All,
I have PowerView Dashboard in Sharepoint 2013, In a Preview Bar there are three options i.e. File, Edit Report, Full Screen.
The requirement is disable only Edit Report Option from preview bar not all.
Please help me if there is any possibility for the same.

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to disable the edit report option from SharePoint 2013 PowerView Dasboard.
There is a workaround:
You can change the permission of the report. You should upload the report to a SharePoint library and set a user have read-only permission of the report. When the user open the report and save the changes, it will have error. The user cannot edit the report.
The article below is about change the report permission in order to disable the edit option.

Thoughts? Resolution? I would be grateful for any assistance.

Hi Stephan,
As I understand, you are encountering the issue that Workflow Manager Backend service terminating each time. May I know did you run the update cmdlets after you installed the updates for SharePoint server 2013? Please confirm it per the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn133867.aspx
If you haven’t run the updates cmdlets, I suspect this is an install issue. I’d suggest you re-install workflow manager to resolve the issue:
1) Leave WFM/SB Farm
2) Uninstall updates and application in the following order and one at a time:
Service Bus CU1
Workflow Manager CU1
Service Bus 1.0
Workflow Manager 1.0
Workflow Manager Client 1.0
Microsoft Windows Fabric
3) Log into SQL server and delete Service Bus and Workflow Manager databases.
SBManagementDB
SBGatewayDB
SBMessageContainer01
WFManagementDB
WFInstanceManagementDB
WFResourceManagementDB
4) Install in the following order one at a time through Web Platforms Installer:

SQL 2012 AlwaysON High Availability for SharePoint 2013

Our Company have 2 Webfront Servers for Sharepoint 2013 and one Database SQL 2012 Server.
We got one more Server & we don't have Storage so need to configure Always On.
There are Some Confusions:
1- Database Server is in production, so how much down time required to Achieve the AlwaysOn?
2- What are the Changes need to be done on Production Server?
3- What are the Steps to be followed While Configuring new Database Server?
Regards,

Hi Genius1985,
According to your description, you want to configure a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group for your database, right?
Question 1: Database Server is in production, so how much down time required to achieve the AlwaysOn?
There is no a certain downtime for AlwaysOn, it depends on the configuration of our AlwaysOn Availability Group, normally it can be several seconds or minutes. In order to understand why there is downtime for SQL Server with Microsoft Clustering, please refer
to the following article:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1882/understanding-why-there-is-still-downtime-for-sql-server-with-microsoft-clustering/
Question 2 and 3: What are the Changes need to be done on Production Server? What are the Steps to be followed While Configuring new Database Server?
Since AlwaysOn Availability Groups require a Windows Server Failover Cluster, we first need to add the Windows Failover Cluster Feature to all the machines running the SQL Server instances that we will configure as replicas.
Once the Windows Server Failover Cluster has been created, we need to proceed with enabling the AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature in SQL Server 2012. This needs to be done on all of the SQL Server instances that we will configure as replicas in our
Availability Group.
For more details about Step-By-Step: Creating a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group, please refer to the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/08/20/step-by-step-creating-a-sql-server-2012-alwayson-availability-group.aspx

Error while running SSRS 2012 report integrated with SharePoint 2013

Hi,
Our reporting services environment has SSRS 2012 integrated with SharePoint 2013. The SharePoint 2013 farm has 2 web front ends, 1 app server and a separate server for reporting services i.e SSRS 2012 .
We have created a https web application in SharePoint 2013 and all the SSRS 2012 reports are deployed into a "Report Library" residing in its root site collection.
The simple reports are running well. But there is a report where we have 3 multi-value parameters. On running this report in IE or Chrome, we get the error "Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the
server could not be parsed. Common causes for this error are when the response is modified by calls to Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace is enabled. Details: Error parsing near ' <!DOCTYPE html PUB'."
Some of the forums suggested to add the below entry in the web config of the SharePoint web app where the SSRS reports are deployed. We did that too, still the error is appearing. Please can anyone help .
<appSettings>
<add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="100000" />

SharePoint 2013 only supports SSRS 2012 SP1 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492257.aspx. You'll need to upgrade your SSRS instance to 2012 SP1.

Adding Reporting services in sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I am migrating my site from MOSS environment to share point 2013. Moss site is using the Reporting services for display of the reports. In the old project there is one dll called
microsoft.reportingservices.sharepoint.ui.webparts.dll
I have copied that dll from Moss server to my sp2013 server. Because I am unable to locate this dll in my sp2013 server.
We have Sql server 2008 installed in the server. As per the below link we cant use theSQL server 2008 for reporting services in sp 2013.
Is this is for the Native based services or the sharepoint based sharepoint services?
Is there any way to use the ReportingServices in SP2013 with sql server 2008?

You have hit incompatibility issues between products.
SP2013 only supports Reporting Services 2012.
This link explains it very well:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492257.aspx(Supported Combinations of SharePoint and Reporting Services Components)
More explanations here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sammykailini/archive/2013/02/12/3551486.aspx
To answer your question, this is for both modes. There is no supported way to use SP2013 with SSRS 2008 R2. Sorry.
I hope that clarifies it for you.

Workflow Suspended error in sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I have created one list and attached one workflow to send notification mail when item is creatd.
The problem is while i created the item ,notification mail triggers.But the when other user creates item,the workflow get suspended and showing the following error.
Waiting for your quick response.
Thank you

Dear Aditi Das,
I tested below steps on library and worked.
Added the System account to Full control Permission on bin folder and GAC.(workflow "app" would need to have higher or elevated permissions)
Confirmed that this account have full control on the Web application.
Checked Site actions > Site Settings > Site features > Workflows can use app permissions > Activate.
Performed an IISReset.
Account was showing as SharePointApp now in place of System account.
SharePoint 2013 workflow are working as expected now.

Where can I find metadata for Power View reports created in sharepoint 2013.

I am looking for what I would assume is the sql server tables that would hold the MDX (DAX) Queries for the power view reports. Example my customers may create say 30 reports and I need to know quickly if an attribute I am changing is in those reports.
How can I find out what report(s) are using that attribute/measure? Not sure that it matters but using sharepoint 2013 on premise and connecting to Analysis Services (molap).
Ken Craig

P.S. if this is still not making sense create a power view report in SharePoint from a SSAS cube. Save that power view report in SharePoint.  The power view report should
have a couple of measures and 1 or 2 dimension. Open the report just to confirm it is saved correctly. Now go to SSAS and rename 1 of the measures or dimensions that you used, Save and rebuild your olap . If it’s a calculated measure
you just need to save olap.    Now open your power view report and notice that that measure/dimension you changed is no longer in the report.
IN one hand it is great that reports do not error and break; however, on the other hand the users might not know what measure/dimension changed and then be lost/mad because the report no longer
works like they want. In my opinion it would have been better if the power view broke with an error message that it cannot load because measure x does not exist than to just load fine.
In any case I need a method to know when a dimension/measure is modified what reports are using it.   Another example is this could even be a case where the dimension values are getting
modified and we need to potentially make a update to any power view/pivot using this dimension as a filter?

Is workflow reporting available in SharePoint 2013?
