Preview office document with office apps server

Hi guys,
I have successfully installed Office web application server on an exclusive machine.
Also, I have created a new office web app farm and also set the binding on the sharepoint 2013 farm. However, when I click on the elispsee to preview a document, it just continually shows the "Word app" text without the actual document been previewed.
Kind assist

hi,
did you use the allowhhtp on owa-side?
Provision the WAC farm on the WAC server with this PowerShell command: New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -Verbose -InternalURL http://<machinename>
-ExternalUrlhttp://<fully.qualified.machine.name>
-AllowHttp -ClipartEnabled –TranslationEnabled

Open Documents with Office Web App - SharePoint 2013

We have configured Office Web App for our SharePoint 2013 Farm and in Site settings, Site Collection Features, have disabled "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" . Out of 15 sites, all documents in 13 sites open in Office
Web App. One of the 2 sites where the document still open using Client Application is a Wiki site.
Advanced propertied for the libraries settings has been set to "Use the server default (Open in the browser)". Anything else to check to open documents in Office Web App?
Thanks

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue when you want to open documents with Office Web App.
Check things below:
1. In the library setting->advanced setting, you can choose the open in the browser to see if the same situation will occur.
2. Check if you have not enable the Open Documents in Client Applications by Default feature.
If you choose Activate to enable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the client application), or
Deactivate to disable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the browser).
You can go to Site setting->site collection administration->site collection feature->Open
Documents in Client Applications by Default to set the feature.
The article below is about how to set the default open behavior for browser-enabled documents.

The requests are not passing through to the app server when i try to access it through port 80.
Presently I am testing my appln over port 81 on the app server.

Each ObjectType and Service directive should begin on a new line. You appear to have placed two directives on a single line.

OAM (10.1.4.3) Integration with WebLogic App Server (10.3.0 or below)

Hi All,
Can I use OAM 10.1.4.3 (Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter) to implement SSO with weblogic App Server 10.3.0 or below?
OAM 10.1.4.3 Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter is the recommended way to configure SSO with Web Logic App server 10.3.1 ( Oracle Middleware 11g).
And
OAM 10.1.4.2 uses WebLogic SSPI to configure SSO between OAM 10g and WebLogic App Server 10.3.0 or below.

Hi,
This is how the integration goes with different versions of WLS and OAM.
There is oamAuthnProvider.jar available with OAM 10.1.4.3 downloads. So it provides the assertion functionality.
Can I use OAM 10.1.4.3 (Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter) to implement SSO with weblogic App Server 10.3.0 or below?
Mahendra: Yes
OAM 10.1.4.3 Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter is the recommended way to configure SSO with Web Logic App server 10.3.1 ( Oracle Middleware 11g).
Mahendra: Yes, this is the recommended and easy approach.
OAM 10.1.4.2 uses WebLogic SSPI to configure SSO between OAM 10g and WebLogic App Server 10.3.0 or below.
Mahendra: Yes, older version of OAM uses SSPI connector installation.
HTH.

Best practice when using Tangosol with an app server

Hi,
I'm wondering what is the best practice when using Tangosol with an app server (Websphere 6.1 in this case). I've been able to set it up using the resource adapter, tried using distributed transactions and it appears to work as expected - I've also been able to see cache data from another app server instance.
However, it appears that cache data vanishes after a while. I've not yet been able to put my finger on when, but garbage collection is a possibility I've come to suspect.
Data in the cache survives the removal of the EJB, but somewhere later down the line it appear to vanish. I'm not aware of any expiry settings for the cache that would explain this (to the best of my understanding the default is "no expiry"), so GC came to mind. Would this be the explanation?
If that would be the explanation, what would be a better way to keep the cache from being subject to GC - to have a "startup class" in the app server that holds on to the cache object, or would there be other ways? Currently the EJB calls getCacheAdapter, so I guess Bad Things may happen when the EJB is removed...
Best regards,

Hi Gene,
I found the configuration file embedded in coherence.jar. Am I supposed to replace it and re-package coherence.jar?
If I put it elsewhere (in the "classpath") - is there a way I can be sure that it has been found by Coherence (like a message in the standard output stream)? My experience with Websphere is that "classpath" is a rather ...vague concept, we use the J2CA adapter which most probably has a different class loader than the EAR that contains the EJB, and I would rather avoid to do a lot of trial/error corrections to a file just to find that it's not actually been used.
Anyway, at this stage my tests are still focused on distributed transactions/2PC/commit/rollback/recovery, and we're nowhere near 10,000 objects. As a matter of fact, we haven't had more than 1024 objects in these app servers. In the typical scenario where I've seen objects "fade away", there has been only one or two objects in the test data. And they both disappear...
Still confused,

Strange Gateway Error with one APP Server (WSAETIMEDOUT)

Hello Everyone,
We are experiencing a strange gateway timeout issue on one application server in our SAP environment. This started happening after we applied a series of Microsoft patches and updated the SAP kernals from 179 (DB 172) to 185 (DB 182).
From this App server we are seeing all kinds of gateway errors, the following is a sample from the dev_rd file from the server in question:

I have done alot of searching and I have tried the following things:
1) Checked the services file of this machine, they line up with all other systems
2) Attempted to telnet to other App servers on 3200, 3300, 3600 with no success
3) tried to connect via SM59 to another App server with no success
4) Attempted to do all of these things in reverse from the another app server with the same results.
This is only happening with one app server in our landscape and this app server has no issues connecting to the CI.
Any ideas on where I can look further?
Edited by: James Wright on Jun 5, 2009 10:10 PM

Hi,
on sappe1exp5 try the following command in a dos prompt:
telnet sappe1exp4 sapgw00
this should also time out i.e. hang for a certain amount of time (~50 seconds) and then terminate with error.
It simply means that the IP address 10.10.0.21 is not reachable from your client PC.
Maybe you changed some IP addresses during patches. Usually there is an RFC destination that is not functioning properly.

Problem : App works with Sun App server 8.0 but fails with 8.1

Hi All
     I am experiencing some strange problem with executing my JSF application with Sun App Server.
     I have an EAR deployed on Sun Application Server 8.0 and 8.1.
     Strangely it works quite fine with 8.0 but fails with 8.1.
     In my JSP page ..I have a dummy component whose getter method is used as a "FormLoad" event of the page.
     <h:form id="imageForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
     <h:messages showDetail="true" />
     <table width="980" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#A9B8C2">
          <tr>
<td>
               <h:inputHidden value="#{Screen1.initializeService}"/>
          <h:selectOneListbox styleClass="style2" id="cmbMiddleArea" immediate="true" value="#{Screen1.selectedMiddleArea}">
          <f:selectItems value="#{Screen1.middleAreaList}" />
     </h:selectOneListbox>
     In my backing bean i have ..
     public String getInitializeService() {
          ..... Retrieve all the data from DB to initialize all the components on the JSP page
          .......setMiddleAreaList......
          .......setSelectedMiddleArea.....
          ........set the values of the individal component...
     I am retrieving all the data from DB in this getter method and intializing the components on the JSP page.
     I have also checked the code generated for JSP by both the servers.I am posting the code here for reference although
     i did not find any significant difference between the two...
     For Server 8.0

     return true;
     jspxtagPool_h_inputHidden_value_nobody.reuse(_jspx_th_h_inputHidden_0);
     return false;
     Now the actual problem is "getInitializeService" method never gets called when i deploy and run the application on Sun App Server8.1
     However with Sun App Server 8.0 it woeks perfectly fine.
     Can anybody help me in resolving these issues ?

SP2013: Scaling search with multiple app server

Hi Team,
I am scaling a new SP environment with multiple App Server.
I have used AutoSPINstaller to install SP2013 and Search. My search components are spread across all servers. All Search components on all servers and I have a blank publishing site as part of my content source.
My issue is when i start full/Incremental crawl. It keeps on crawling for the whole day and do not produce any crawl error neither it stops. We waited for even 2 das but the crawl kept on going on.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks Ba$va

Hi Basva ,
Follow these steps (one at the time) to reset the Content Source crawl:
Start -> Run -> Services.msc -> Restart the “SharePoint Server Search 15”.
Make sure the Application Server Administration Service Timer Job working .
Navigate to Central Administration-> Manage service application->
Search Service Application,
Reset Index and see if that fixes the problems.
Go into the Services.msc on each server and change the "RECOVERY" method of the “SharePoint Server Search 15” from "FIRST FAILURE" to "TAKE NO ACTION" so that the service did not restart before
all the servers had their "SharePoint Server Search 14" stopped.

Problem with sun app server startup

hi,
i am getting problem with sun app server default start.the error is::
[#|2006-03-01T13:54:35.121+0530|WARNING|sun-appserver-pe8.2|javax.enterprise.tools.launcher|_ThreadID=10;|LAUNCHER005:Spaces in your PATH have been detected. The PATH must be consistently formated (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin; ) or the Appserver may not be able to start and/or stop. Mixed quoted spaces in your PATH can cause problems, so the launcher will remove all double quotes before invoking the process. The most reliable solution would be to remove all spaces from your path before starting the Appservers components. |#]
now i am useing Win Xp operating system,
show me a solution.

Narasimha

You haven;t specified the exceptions you r getting ........while starting your default server.
if u r getting exception about InetClass then connect your system with LAN/Internet then your problem will be solved becoz i m using same location address as you specified, space doesn't matter at all - i think so, it is running fine........

Exchange 2013 OWA published through TMG: Unable to preview documents with Office Web App server

We configured our Exchange 2013 servers to use Office Web App for document previews on OWA. Everything works fine internally, and externally also when we access OWA directly. But when from an outside network we open a OWA session through TMG and try to preview
a document, we get the error "Sorry we cannot open this document, an error occured . . ."
Did anyone experience such an issue ?
Thanks,
Antonio

Hello,
Since directing accessing OWA from CAS is fine and the issue only occur when involving TMG, I think the issue is more related to TMG settings. Please find more efficient support

Got errors when trying to open word document with Office Web App Server and customized WOPI host

I am configuring the Office Web App Server with our ASP.NET MVC WOPI host based on this example. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6. While both the OWA server and WOPI server has been set up and I can use Excel and PowerPoint
app to open and edit xls and ppt file now, there are problems opening word documents no matter I enable or disable the editing function of OWA server.
When I open a word document while enabling editing I got this error:
If I disable editing I got this message:
I have tried several file so I thought it is not the files' problem. Also I didn't find any exception in the log of OWA server.

Hi Gary Jiang,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for developers discussing issues about
apps for Office.
Based on the description, it seems that you got an issue when you deploy the code sample. If I understood clearly, I suggest that you contact the author of the code sample from the "Q and A" tab.
Also if you have the question about WOPI, I suggest that you get more effective response from
Office

Office Web App Server 2013: cannot edit word document with own WOPI Server

Hi all,
I tried to build our own WOPI Server to connect to Office Web App Server 2013 SP1. Viewing documents
in IE was possible quite easy to achieve. Now it comes to editing.
When I try to edit a document, I got a german message “Sie verfügen leider nicht über die Berechtigung zum Bearbeiten dieses Dokuments“.
This means something like „Sorry, you do not have any permission to modify this document”.
I enabled editing on the OWAS-Server while setup procedure
(Until now, I only have an InternalUrl but no ExternalUrl.)
PS C:\ > New-OfficeWebAppsFarm –InternalUrl “https://win-owas...”
–CertificateName "win-owas…" –EditingEnabled
ULS log shows
BaseDocument says editing is not supported [WebEditingEnabled: True] [SupportsEditing: True] [PinnedUsersRights: Read]
So far, I implemented these three REST service methods:
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke
"GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}?access_token={access_token}"
"GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
"POST":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
Office Web App Server was downloaded from “Microsoft Volume Licensing Center”. I installed latest updates from Microsoft.
Did anybody succeed in writing to own WOPI an can give me some hints?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
The discovery xml contains many lines. The one for editing docx is:

I am calling it this way:

I’m not sure whether or not I implemented "locks,cobalt,update" correct, but I do not see any ‘edit-’network traffic from OWAS-Server to WOPI-Server. So I cannot debug anything. I will (re)check the articles you mentioned.
Thank you for your help.

membership has View Only Permission on the Site). We see exactly this behaviour when the documents are accessed from within the Document Library App or associated Web Part but not if the documents are linked to from elsewhere within the Site, e.g. The
library in question is being used to store newsletters and they want to be able to insert links to the latest newsletter in an Announcement or Newsfeed item. As it stands these links present the user with an access request page or with Read permissions on
their SharePoint Group a browser download dialog.
My initial searches have so far brought up a suggestion to
doing the reverse in search which might be promising and updating workflows to modify the url provided in an email to the appropriate wopi url which in my mind suggests a user manual. Something that would work automatically on at least the
Site, better Site Collection or ideally Site Subscription level is what I am looking for as our clients users are far from technically minded and a lookup table of file extensions and how to construct the url is out of the question.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice provided.

Can't open Project Server 2013 word documents with office 2010 installed

hello forum members,
we having issues opening a word document in a Project Server 2013 . we have Office 2010 on our computers installed.
when I click on a document link, i get a message "The webpage cannot be displayed". the only way to open a document is to right click on link and select "Open".
Does Project Server 2013 require Office 2013 installed? If not, is there a way to open documents in Project Server 2013 without right clicking on links?

Hi Tatiana,
This is the know issue. I have experienced this issue with one of our client. The cause of issue as below -
Scenario
You have 2007 Microsoft Office installed on a computer.
On the same computer, you also have a Microsoft Office 2013 application installed, such as Microsoft Lync 2013 or Microsoft Word 2013.
SOLUTION
To work around this issue, remove the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support program component from the Office 2013
installation on the affected computer or computers. To do this, follow the “Install or remove individual Office program components” section of the following Microsoft Office website:
Install or remove individual Office
programs and components
(http://office.microsoft.com/redir/HA010354261.aspx)
After you complete these steps, repair 2007 Office. For more information about how to repair the installation, click
the following article number to go to the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
924611
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924611/ )
How to install the individual 2007 Office features or to repair the installed 2007 Office programs
Note When
you follow these steps, set the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support
component within Office Tools to Not Available.
This solution doesn't apply to scenarios in which SharePoint Designer 2013 is installed on the affected computer.
You can find further details here at Microsoft support site -

Hope this helps you.

Cannot open Office 2004 documents with Office 2011 on Lion Server

I am in the process of moving our documents from a Tiger server to Lion server. My users who are using Office 2004 are having no issues, but the users with Office 2011 cannot open any documents with the .doc extension. I have tried logging on using afp and smb and I get different error messages but no access. When logging on as smb if I try to double-click I get the file type blocked message. If I go to File/Open I get the message Word cannot open this document. The file be in use, etc. There are no special characters in the file name. If I try to open a docx document then no problem. The same problem occurs with xls versus xlsx documents. Does anyone know if there is something different I should be doing. Permissions are set for full access. We have a mix of users with both versions of Office and over 90% of the file server are .doc or .xls documents. I cannot fully implement until I get this resolved.

I am having the same problem with UCM 10gr3. Our desktop engineers are doing an enterprise upgrade of MS Office to 2010 and this issue just surfaced. Trish, how do your users authenticate to Beehive? We are using a cusom connector using our AD.
