Microsoft HIS 2013 - Replacing COM.CFG

Hello Technet,
I have the following setup :
2 Microsoft Host intergration 2013 servers (1 primairy and 1 secundairy )
Windows server 2012 R2
Each server has around 150 printers, they are diffrent.
I've encouterd a problem while starting the Microsoft SNA manager tool on the secundairy server. When pressing the button for the manager tool it just do's nothing (No errors in eventlog), except for adding an instance of MMC.EXE in task manager. When opening
MMC and then add the Snapin "Sna manager", after the selection of the config file locaiton MMC.exe hungs and i am forced to kill it.
I've checked the folder rights, services and their service accounts and so far i can see everything is the same as the primairy HIS server.
Both servers are functioning correctly, all prints are printing as they should. I can change the settings within SNA manager on the primairy server but it just bugs me why sna manager wont work on the secondairy server :(. I guess the config
file is currupt or something.
My question is,what is the best practice ? Is it possible to copy the COM.CFG file from the primairy server to the secondairy server and overwrite it without any problems? Or shall i rename the COM.OLD to COM.CFG so that the old config ( 2 days older
so it's no problem ) will be the main config file, and should i do this on the primairy server aswell ?
Thanks in advance!
M.

The only read/write copy of the HIS COM.CFG is located on the Primary HIS Server. Whenever a configuration change is made it is made to the copy on the Primary HIS Server, even if you made the change from SNA Manager on the Secondary HIS Server. After the
configuration changes are made, the Primary HIS Server sends an update to the Secondary servers to let them know a change has been made. The Secondary HIS Servers will connect to the COMCFG share on the Primary HIS Server and then copy the new COM.CFG to its
\config folder.
Since things are running OK and you can make configuration changes from the Primary HIS Server, odds are that the COM.CFG is not corrupted.
You could try making a test change from SNA Manager on the Primary HIS Server and then see if the COM.CFG is updated on the Secondary HIS Server. This will indicate that the Secondary HIS Server is getting the notifications that changes have been made and
it is copying the updated file locally.
I assume that if you are logged into the Secondary HIS Server that you can connect to the
\\primaryHISservername\comcfg share. If not, maybe this is part of the problem. Also, you could try running Process Monitor while trying to open SNA Manager to see if that gives you any additional clues.

Converting TI Object from HIS 2006 to HIS 2013

Hello
I am attempting to convert my current HIS 2006 TI objects to run in HIS 2013 and have encountered the following issues:
1. Unable to open my TI object .DLL file in TI Designer within Visual Studio 2012. I have run the TI Conversion Tool to convert my TI object to be compatible with HIS 2013, however I am now unable to open this in TI Designer as I get the following error
message "Failed to load the library. It might not be generated by Host Integration Server Designer".
2. My TI Object is self-hosted and I have a Web Service that references this TI Assembly. When I try and invoke this web service it fails and when I check my WCF trace file it is telling me that a method in my TI assembly cannot be found. This is after I
have converted the DLL file via the TI conversion tool.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why these 2 issues are occuring and how I can resolve this.
Thanks
Sean

Transaction Integrator went through a lot of changes in HIS 2013. Here are a few of the key changes:
- TI Manager has been removed from the product.
- TI WIP and HIP configuration is now included in a app.config (or web.config) file
- HIS Designer has been updated to produce XML based meta data definition files. These files have an extension of "hidx" (Host Integration Definition XML). The hidx file replaces the TI meta data assembly as the media used by TI
designer.
If you haven't, you should download and install the HIS 2013 SDK from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41557.
After installing the SDK, you should take a look at the readme files associated with the ApplicationIntegrationStarterGuide sample under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Host Integration Server 2013 SDK v1.0\ApplicationIntegration\WindowsInitiated.
You should start with the Readme_01_Changes.txt file as it explains many of the changes in TI.
When you ran the TIConversionTool, it should have created a HIDX file based on the old HIS 2006 TI assembly. You should be able to open the HIDX file in VS2012 and see the methods and parameters just like you did with the Designer for HIS 2006. It should
have also created a backward compatible DLL in a \bin folder in the output location specified when running the conversion tool.
Hope this helps.

SDK Samples in HIS 2013

After installing Host Integration Server 2013, I do not see any of the SDK Sample directories on the file system.
Did I miss something in the install or are these samples not part of the install media anymore???
Thanks,
Gary Clanton

HIS 2013 is available as a supplemental license to BizTalk 2013. This means that you have to license one of the BizTalk Server 2013 Editions to get a license for HIS 2013. You don't need to install and use BizTalk Server in order to use HIS. You only need
to install BizTalk Server if you need to use one of the BizTalk Adapters that is included with HIS.
You didn't indicate what type of applications that you will be communicating with on the IBM mainframe. If you will be communicating with CICS or IMS transactions on the mainframe, then you'd likely want to take a look at the Transaction Integrator (TI)
feature in HIS 2013. You can use TI with a WCF service. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn150066(v=bts.80).aspx#application for an overview of the Application Integration feature of HIS 2013. You might also want to look through the following topic:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn149782(v=bts.80).aspx
The HIS 2013 SDK does include sample applications. When the SDK is installed, it gets installed to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Host Integration Server 2013 SDK v1.0
Under this folder, you will see the following folders:
- ApplicationIntegration
- BizTalkAdapters
- DataIntegration
- MessageIntegration
- NetworkIntegration
- SessionIntegration
Under each of these folders are samples specific to those features. For example, under ApplicationIntegration there are two additional folders: HostInitiated and WindowsInitiated. The WindowsInitiated folder includes samples for Transaction Integrator where
TI initiates transactions by calling application on the IBM host system. Under WindowsInitiated, you will find a WcfService folder that has a TI WCF sample application. You'd also want to look at the ApplicationIntegrationStarterGuide sample because it describes
many of the new TI features in HIS 2013.
If TI doesn't fit the needs, then you need to look at the other HIS features to see what might work for the IBM integration scenario that you are working on.
You might also want to look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/biztalk/hh441721 as this site has many links to HIS specific resources.

Move from HIS 2010 to HIS 2013

We are in a process of upgrading our servers to Windows Server 2012. This is done by installing new servers. We will install HIS 2013 on Windows 2012 Server . We have a lot of HIS 2010 objects (both WIP and HIP) which we want to move over. WIP objects
are currently hosted as ASP.NET Worker process on HIS 2010. Is it possible to move these objects to HIS 2013 just using generated dll's from VS 2010/HIS 2010 ? I know that it is possible to upgrade 2010 to 2013, but we have installed an empty HIS 2013, and
want to do a "move" from HIS 2010 and run 2010/2013 in parallel. I am also looking for docs how to "Connect" HIS 2013 to IIS using TICT to IIS as we did in TI in HIS 2010 when we deployed Objects hosted as ASP.NET Worker process.
Jan Terje

Hello Jan,
I've done this kind of migration last year with more than 1500 TI Objects :-)
Yes, it's possible to move easy from HIS 2010 to HIS 2013 by converting the TI Objects using the TIConversionTool (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Host Integration Server 2013\SysWow64).
The Problem with the TIConversionTool is that it doesn't replace directly the assemblies but it creates a folder structure with the converter TI Object. It's also possible to Open the HIS 2010 TI Objects in Visual Studio 2010/2012 with HIS 2013. The Objects
will be converted after you are saving again the Assemblies.
In addition you have to change your web.config files because the HIS Assembly Version has changed from 7.0 to 9.0.
Please let me know if you need more information or help !

Microsoft office 2013 encountered an error during setup in Window 8.1

Initially, I got microsoft office 2013 64bit standard version installed in window 8.1. However, it suddenly got errors when opening office, and closed the program automatically. Therefore, I uninstalled it, and tried to re-install office.
However, I got the error "microsoft office 2013 encountered an error during setup" everytime when I try to install it.
I tried 32-bit and 64 bit version, and tried to install in clean boot, deleted registry, and modified the folder name "Microsoft Help", but none of them works.

Make sure you completely uninstall previous versions of Office. There may be remnants left behind, even after you uninstall Office using the normal procedure. I recommend using the “Fix It” utility to uninstall Office 2013 completely. Please refer to this
article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us you might also follow the manual steps provided on the same page.
If you still having problems, re-registering the Windows Installer and checking permissions on the %TEMP% folder and the C:\Windows\Installer folder to make sure you have full-control. To re-register the Windows Installer run the following commands:
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /register

Recieveing "OnUCAppointmentGetVisible" error in Outlook 2013 (64 bit) - "Custom UI Runtime Error in Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013"

Hi All,
I originally posted this in the MS Support forums (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/recieveing-onucappointmentgetvisible-error-in/1a40eca2-8cd1-40f1-a92f-cb08f0af6b72), but was directed over here.
I have recently upgraded an installation of Office 2010 to 2013 (both 64 bit) but am now receiving an error which says:
Window Title - "Custom UI Runtime Error in Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013"
An error occured while calling the callback: "OnUCAppointmentGetVisible"
This seem to happen when I initially open a calender entry, and when I close the entry (most only the first time I close the entry).
I did have some developer tools installed for Office 2010 and VS 2010 which played around with Excel,2013 but I have now uninstalled these.
In addition, BCM 2010 was installed (but for the time being has been uninstalled), but I don't think that is the culprit.
The issue is being caused be an Outlook add-in. I have three COM add-in enabled, but the one causing the issue in the "Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013".
We are currently trialling Lync in a demo installation which is in a different domain to any of the Exchange accounts, but should this cause a problem? For the time being I have disable this add-in.
Regards,
Chris

Hi,
Sorry for my misunderstanding. If the issue is determined to be caused by Lync Meeting Add-in, please remove this add-in from Outlook, then go to Control Panel to repair Office 2013 program. After repairing,
this add-in would be automatically reinstalled. Please check whether the issue persists. About how to repair Office programs, please refer to:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
If the Lync Meeting Add-in is not automatically reinstalled, please try to manually add this add-in by the following steps:
1. Starting Outlook 2013 as an Administrator (right click, run as Admin).
2. Click File > Options > Add-ins, Manage Com Add-Ins Go... > Add..., C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\UCAddin.dll, OK.
3. Close Outlook and start it as a normal user.

Microsoft Excel 2013 add-in not working after update

I have originally posted this question at answers.microsoft.com and have been re-directed to post here. (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-excel/microsoft-excel-2013-add-in-not-working-after/298aff03-c90a-4a2a-b67b-07b6f3c7648c)
We are an organization with over 200 users and are currently using Microsoft Office 2013 (Click-to-run install via Office 365 portal), we have noticed that in Excel when we apply the monthly Office update, the add-in (e.g. Analysis Toolpak) would stop working
with the following error message displayed.
I tried updating from 15.0.4631.1004 to 15.0.4641.1003,
15.0.4641.1003 to 15.0.4649.1004, they all gave the same results.
I have checked the captioned file path and it is indeed missing, I think the update mechanism messed up the add-in somehow, a full re-install would fix it as quick or online repair is not doing the trick. This is not the only add-in it is affecting
as there are some 3rd party add-ins are affected as well.
Please advise how we can fix this without needing to re-install Microsoft Office. Thank you!

I don't have 365 or C2R so I can't address your main question, so just a few thoughts which may not be applicable in your setup.
Check the addin manager to see if your addins are listed and ticked. If listed (ticked or not) check the registry to see where the location is written, if ticked look here
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Options
and look for keys named OPENx, where x is the order number the addin is loaded
if not "ticked" instead of \Options look in \Add-in-Manager
With a VBA macro or in the VBE's immediate window return
Application.LibraryPath
Assuming you found a listing in the registry do the paths match, if not look in the .LibraryPath to see if the addins got unloaded there into the subfolder \Analysis
If you find the file(s) try un-installing and reinstalling the addins, but browse to the actual folder don't simply tick. If you can't find the files, copy them (from a different system) to the folder indicated by .LibraryPath. In the addin manager uninstall
them if installed, close the manager, open it again and the addins should be listed, tick to re-install.
You say your other addins don't work, I wonder if some mixup has occurred with what Excel thinks is the default path, but note for other addins the default addins path is returned by app.UserLibraryPath
Are you using a Chinese system?

How to add shortcuts to user Start Menu and Taskbar or Desktop with using Microsoft Office 2013 Config file.

Hello,
How can i add the shortcuts for Office 2013 feature (Word, excel, ext) to the users taskbar or desktop with using config.xml file while installing the Microsoft Office 2013 from SCCM?
I know how to do that with OCT, but i have another problem if i use OCT. So i have to do it with Config.file, but i don't know which code can i write on config.xml file to create shortcut on desktop or taskbar...
Regards,

Hi
There is a known issue about
changing the shortcut location for an Office 2013 application:
When you try to change the shortcut locations for Office 2013 applications in the Office Customization Tool (OCT), you receive the following error message:
Invalid start in folder. Please try again.
Then, you add the Start in location for Office 2013 and run a customized installation. When you double-click the shortcuts that are displayed on the desktop, Configure shortcuts does
not work and you receive the following error message:
Sorry, we couldn’t find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?
To work around this issue, type a single open bracket ([) in the Start in
field.
In addition, refer to the link below on "Configure shortcuts" in OCT:

Uninstall Microsoft Office 2013 using Invoke-TroubleshootingPack

Hi,
I'm deploying an uninstallation package to uninstall Office 2013 using the ingenious Microsoft Fix it (located here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us)
called O15CTRRemove.
When running it manually, it removes everything that is related to Microsoft Office 2013 and I am able to install a new Office 2013 without any problems (changing from Office 365 to VL).
The problem is as follows:
I need to do this silently on a lot of computers using a deployment tool. I figured out how to use powershell and I'm doing it in the following way:
Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
$DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\O15CTRRemove"
Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
I created the Answerfile DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml in the following way (according tohttp://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/02/09/use-powershell-troubleshooting-packs-to-diagnose-remote-problems.aspx):
Get-TroubleshootingPack "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\O15CTRRemove" -answerfile "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml"
It looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Answers Version="1.0" />
When I run the script it works but for some reason, it doesn't work when I run it as system (my deployment tool runs the script as system, and I've tried it manually like this):
psexec -i -s cmd
cmd /C powershell -executionpolicy unrestricted -file "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\Uninstall_Office2013.ps1"
It just hangs and I can see in eventviewer that it has run a few troubleshooting packs, that the uninstall of Office is complete but it doesn't continue until I force kill sdiagnhost.exe.
If I run the script after killing sdiagnhost.exe, it finishes without a problem.
I have temporarily solved it like this (I run the same job twice, to be sure everything is removed and the second one finishes quickly while the first hangs until the timeout):
Start-Job -ArgumentList -ScriptBlock {
$DIR = "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall"
Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
$DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "${DIR}\O15CTRRemove"
Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "${DIR}\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
Get-Job | Wait-Job -Timeout 1200
Get-Job | Receive-Job
Get-Job | Remove-Job -Force
Start-Job -ArgumentList -ScriptBlock {
$DIR = "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall"
Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
$DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "${DIR}\O15CTRRemove"
Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "${DIR}\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
Get-Job | Wait-Job -Timeout 1200
Get-Job | Receive-Job
Get-Job | Remove-Job -Force
I am thinking that there is some kind of dialogue questions that I need to get into the answer file, but I have no idea how to do it.
Any help is appreciated!
Best regards,
Simon

Credit goes to MS for core script (its to long to post here).
Credit goes to the guy who wrote the cleaner script. Whoever packaged it and didn't build in silent switches gets zero points.
Please note that this will only work for C2R installs of Office 2013.
This is not true. There are scrub scripts specific to C2R as well as MSI.
I extracted the scrub vbs from O15CTRRemove.diagcab
This is what worked for me. Use 7-zip to extract the entire package to a directory. Then run "OffScrub_015msi.vbs all".

How to Install Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Microsoft Office 2013 with 64 bits

I am with problems to have acess to the link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12187
Why?
I want do install Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Microsoft Office 2013 with 64 bits. How can I do it?
Thanks.

Hello Carla Sofia,
Visual Studio installation do not depends on Microsoft Office 2013. They do not have relationship here. I think your problem is that you cannot find the link to install Visual Studio 2010.
In order to know why, please see here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=Visual%20Studio%202010&Filter=FilterNO
The mainstream support for Visual Studio 2010 is already expired and that is why you cannot open any link about Visual Studio 2010 Setup.(I cannot verify whether that link is about VS2010 Setup.)
I think you need to think about the following:
1. If you need Visual Studio 2010, you may have to consider some other channels. For example, official site you can try use MSDN Subscription. For non-official site. Sorry I cannot provide any place for you
2. You can use other latest version of Visual Studio, for example, we have Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015 for you to use. You can also use Visual Studio Express 2010 version. It is still available for download.
