Move MySites to its own Web Application

I've looked and looked online but i still haven't been able to find any good step by step on whats the best way to do this. When I setup the MySites, i set it up under the Web Application that runs the rest of the sites. Now i want to move those MySites
over to its own Web Application. What's the best way to get this done. Thanks in advance.

Google on how to load sharepoint powershell snapin
The Sharepoint Powershell snapin has been loaded but "export-spsite" does not exist as a command on a out of the box SharePoint. 
"Export-SPsite" and "Import-SPsite" are 3rd party open source script. They are not official powershell cmdlet. But you can easily get them from Internet and applied to your environment.
If you like to stick with official one, you can use Export-SPWeb instead. It should help you complete the backup part.
There is Import-SPWeb cmdlet to restore the site as well. However it will not work if the site collection is not created beforehead.
So I guess the approach would be:
1. Backup all the mysite using Export-SPweb.
2. Build a new "My Site Host" web application and change your mysite settings in User Profile Service Application.
3. Re-create all mysite in new web application (here the site collections are created)
4. Restore to new created site collections with the old backup.
P.S. I have not performed MySite move before. Please consider whether it is a valid approach!

    I have an iphone 4S and it has been doing crazy things like typing on its own.  IT's like someone is shadowing my phone.  Also, the left side of the phone keys get frozen, any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Nothng worst when you need to call or text someone urgently and i can not do it as computer takes over... thank and have a wonderful day!!

    More than likely a failing display. You can try restoring it to see if that helps, but you'll probably have to have the phone replaced. make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • How can one specify that multiple windows open (each with its own web page(s) ) when Firefox starts?

    I am on Firefox 15.0. I would prefer not to open multiple tabs to get multiple web sites up when Firefox is started. Instead, I prefer multiple windows. Some might have one tab, some might have several. For example, one window might have Gmail, another might have several different web pages related to weather, and another might simply have Google, and another Yahoo, and another, Orbitz. Since there may be five or six of these windows, with multiple web pages, perhaps 20 in toal, tabs get cluttered, and I don't prefer them anyway. I have plenty of memory and processing power.
    Interestingly enough, if Firefox crashes, it allows you to restart with the pages it thinks you would want. It would be great to have a Start Firefox option similar to that!

    You can reopen the windows and tabs from the previous session.
    You can also use command line switches with a bash script or a modified Firefox desktop shortcut ant use -new-window -url <URL> to open a page in a new window.
    <pre><nowiki><path to firefox>/firefox -new-window -url <URL1> -new-window -url <URL2>
    </nowiki></pre>

  • Calling IPC from a third party web application

    ISA, IPC experts,
    We have CRM 4.0 with IPC 4.0. We are developing an in house web application  in jsp/java for dealer orders. Our office staff uses CRM Online for Order Entry.
    We want to use the existing pricing procedures in the IPC to derive the pricing for the web project so our user can see the price for a given product prior to placing the order in CRM.
    How can we call IPC from a third party order software in java? prefereably without installing a standalone IPC (heard that IPC 5.0 may not support standalone mode)?
    Can you help us with ways to call the IPC from our in house web application, or point us to some documentation about the ipc client layer?
    Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.
    Yanhui Yu

    Hi Yanjui,
    if you have a CRM installation, an IPC is part of that installation. Connect your web application to that IPC. The IPC comes with its own web applications, which base on a package com.sap.spc.remote.client.object. These are APIs that you might consider using in your web application. The package should be documented with the API docs that come with your web apps, but I'm not sure about how this is delivered (sorry).
    Concerning upgradability to CRM 5.0: The IPC there does not come as its own server anymore, but offers ABAP RFC functions that are actually implemented in Java using new Netweaver technology. The 5.0 RFCs are similar, but not identical to the old IPC commands / RFCs, so an upgrade is no problem, but some changes are required. The same applies for com.sap.spc.remote.client.object, which has changed a bit as a result of the changes in the IPC APIs below.
    Alternatively to using com.sap.spc.remote.client.object, you might also try to directly call the RFC functions of the IPC server. Finding out what the various parameters that you have to pass do is not too tricky:
    - in your IPC installation, a file <ipc>/lib/properties/servercommands.xml contains all RFCs that the IPC knows.
    - for the RFC you want to use check the respective javaname in that file.
    - for that javaname check class com.sap.spc.remote.server.command.<javaname> in the javadoc API Documentation that is part of your IPC installation. This will contain rather technical details on how to call the RFCs.
    Please be aware that it's not an easy job providing all the data that IPC needs to do pricing.
    I would recommend using the E-Commerce application which has done this job for you already.
    Best regards,
    Karlheinz

  • Change MySite URL at Web Application level

    Howdy,
    I'm having a tough time finding a post about this and I know someone has already asked it. 
    I have 2 web applications plus a mysite host.
    App 1: http://SPCollab/
    App 2: http://SPCollab2/
    The MySite Host URL is http://my.SPCollab/
    Now, what I'm trying to do is make it appear when users in App2 click on the Sites link, it appears like this: http://my.SPCollab2/. So I'm really talking about an AAM. Is there a PowerShell command to set the MySites URL of a Web Application? Both links would
    point to the same host, just with different bindings.
    Any help or links would be appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Martin.

    Yep, you're stuck with the single URI. If you're having auth prompts, I'd suggest looking into SSO solutions (e.g. ADFS).

  • How to move an object that is in many layers in to its own layer?

    Hello,
    I created a catalog where I have used layers but at that time didn't know that I will be creating another catalog of the same products for our wholesalers.  Anyway, now I have an object (QR Code) that is in many layers and I need to move it to its own layer where I can turn it on or off as needed. I have already created the layer but now I am not sure the quickest way to move the (QR code). I really need to learn how to use GREP in find and change, I sure it is possible with GREP but don't know the string to use.
    I would appreciate any kind of help I can get.
    Thanks,
    Omar

    Am I crazy, or is there a "Paste Remembers Layers" checkbox hidden somewhere in the preferences? Because when I have a bunch of objects that are all on separate layers, I simply Copy, Delete, and Paste in Place - and then they're all on one layer.
    I'm not crazy! It's in the options on the Layers panel. And it seems to be off by default.

  • Multiple Context Paths Per Web Application

    Hi,
    We have a Web Application which has a Context Path of "titanadmin". We have some
    HTML pages which refer to this within the URLs they contain. We need to move the
    functionality in this Web Application to another Web Application with a Context
    Path of "gp3admin". We cannot change the URLs in the generated HTML.
    So, is it possible for a Web Application to have multiple Context Paths, so that
    URLs starting with "/titanadmin/" and "/gp3admin/" both go to the same Web Application.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    There is no hard limit to the number of Web Applications (I managed a WSSv3 farm that had 60+, for example). The issue is memory-related and primarily stems from 32bit systems where it was much easier to get Out Of Memory errors on the IIS Application Pools
    when performing a large operation across a 32bit Application Pool (e.g. crawling). However, if you limit each IIS Application Pool to about 10 Web Applications (again, in 32bit land that no longer applies), everything generally works OK given the Web Applications
    do not have a very large amount of content.
    But, if HNSC is in use, a single Web Application should be sufficient, barring any Web Application-specific settings you might need to make.

  • Web.xml setup for web application problem

    <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
    First off, the servlets do not redeployed properly after compilation. Any
    changes I made to a servlet, I had to down the weblogic server and bring it
    back up. What am I doing wrong with this??
    Second, weblogic.httpd.indexDirectories should not allow directory browse ..
    but it still does for this app. Am I missing something else?
    Third, JSP configuration that specifies where a directory is supposed to be
    compiled is useless cuz' it's always compiled in tmpwar dir, which is
    dynamically created if not already there. Should I add something else to
    this???
    Fourth, weblogic.httpd.documentRoot should allow me to just type in a URL,
    such as http://relyon1:7001/Kermit, and it should redirect to a
    file(specified by welcome-file-list tag) under the directory
    web(/weblogic/Kermit/web). However, it's not doing it.
    From the documentation that I've read, this should have been very siimple
    but it's not working the way the docs have it made it out be.... am I
    missing anything else??
    Please help.

    Currently we only officially support ADF 11g deployment to WebLogic.
    There is at least one report of someone running this on Tomcat here:

    Note that this will require you to have an ADF runtime license though.

  • Sessions across Web Applications (WARs)

    I've heard that you can't share session information (http session) across web applications or war files in the j2ee framework. However, I haven't seen any proof of this? I'm struggling to find information telling that I can't do this. Can someone elaborate a bit?
    Thanks.

    Hi !
    It is TOTALLY WRONG that someone wrote here that a
    separate JVM is started for each web-app! No way. Run
    any appserver and do a 'ps -ef|grep java' and I bet
    you will see only one forever :-). Correct
    Steve, it is the classloader hierarchy in all
    appservers that prevents you from sharing sessions (i
    would say classes loaded by various web-apps). There
    is something called a web-app / WAR classloader, which
    is 4th in the hierarchy of JVm classloader hierarchy.
    Since all your web-app loaded classes are loaded by
    this classloader and since each web-app has a "peer"
    classloader at same level for its own web-app, you
    will never be able to share across web-apps. Incorrect, just because you can have separate classloaders for separate web applications does not mean that those web applications cannot share instances.
    It is also possible to have classes which are globally available to ALL web applications which are loaded as part of the servlet container. Tomcat versions 4+ have a common area where classes can be made available. These classes are not loaded within the Web Application classloader at all.
    Not only that but it is possible to configure web application contexts such that they can also share things like sessions. This feature is definitely part of the Apache Tomcat release and as this is taken by Sun to be the Reference Implementation of the Servlet Container I would assume that is also part of the J2EE Standard as well.
    YOu can always use the DB stuff that other genltmen
    has already suggested.

  • Sending/Receiving SMS on a J2EE Web Application

    hi friends
    i have developed an application for bank accounts. Its a web application and my server is Tomcat 5.0. my requirement is that user could sms (from their mobile) to my application. In the SMS they will provide their account no and in response my application will send a sms to their cell phone giving them their current balance.
    Now im very new to this mobile technology. im confused that whether i have to use J2ME or JMS or what. And what other things i require.
    The Mobile and application has to do nothin with each other(means they r not connected in any way). So i think i need services from a Service Provider. But from technology pt of view what i'll use??
    If any body knows which tech. to use and flow of such application pls help.
    thanx...

    Hi
    There is no need to develope mobile application for
    sending SMS from the PC.
    n general, there are two ways to send SMS messages
    from a computer / PC to a mobile phone:
    Connect a mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem to a
    computer / PC. Then use the computer / PC and AT
    commands to instruct the mobile phone or GSM/GPRS
    modem to send SMS messages.
    Connect the computer / PC to the SMS center (SMSC) or
    SMS gateway of a wireless carrier or SMS service
    provider. Then send SMS messages using a protocol /
    interface supported by the SMSC or SMS gateway.I would like to know how do you set up the whole thing. What are AT commands and Where do i get thm and how do i use them. i am sorry for asking so many question but i am really interested in knowing this. I am doing my school project which requires me to send sms from my PC.
    Please help!!!!
    Thanks

  • How to execute web applications without deploying them?

    How can I execute web applications without deploying them (without mentioning them in the server.xml)?
    I have an IWS 6.1 SP1 installed with default parameters (JES). I would like that a posix user could execute his own web application without administrator collaboration.
    Does it exist some sort of "autodeploy" like in tomcat?
    (I know about the invoker mapping in default-web.xml, just I don't realy understand what does it eventuate. I tried to unzip webapps-simple.war in the directory $IWS_SERVER_HOME/webapps/$instance_name/servlet/tmp/
    but the http://a.a.tg/servlet/tmp request failed:
    javax.servlet.ServletException: WEB2784: Wrapper cannot find servlet class tmp or a class it depends on
    ----- Root Cause -----
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: tmp
    How can I solve this? Users should have write permission to the directories in the classpath to put their servlet.class files into? Bad idea...
    (I tried to "execute" the $IWS_SERVER_HOME/plugins/java/samples/webapps/simple/webapps-simple.war)
    (Sorry for my language skills)

    Do as many of the rest of us do, until this behavior is changed (if ever). Eport your WEb gallery to your Hd and use an FTP client, there are so many, including Drreamweaver's, and Shareware ones, and upload just the relevant files/folders. Some can even check and do this for you.

  • 6th gen iPod Nano volume keeps going down on its own

    It's been getting worse lately. It started happening towards the end of each of my run, but now even when I leave it on my desk, I can see the volume just move down on its own to zero. It is very unreliable and during long runs, I have to keep battling with the volume (it goes down on its own, and I have to bring it back up again). Shutting the iPod Nano off and turning it back on doesnt help.
    Anyone else encounters this? What should I do? My iPod Nano is about 1 year old.

    This issue is usually the result of the Nano coming into contact with moisture (likely from your workouts).  Try putting the iPod into an uncooked bag of dried rice and leaving it sit for a few days.  This should absorb any moisture in the iPod.
    After the few days are up, give it another whirl.  If the problem persists, connect the Nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.
    Otherwise, the damage may be permanent, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced or replaced.

  • Specify mysite by web application

    I have two web apps, internal and external. For the internal side I would like mysites to be accessible and go to mysite.mydomain.com/personal and this is currently working without any issues. While on the external side I want it to remain on external.mydomain.com
    and not go or use the mysite. Just remain using the default SharePoint profile page. 
    Is this possible?

    Go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Configure service application associations. Click on the Web Application on the left you want to change, then change the drop down to Custom, and remove the Service Application Proxy
    you no longer want associated with the Web Application (in this case, the User Profile Service Application Proxy).
