Rename State Service Database in SharePoint 2010

As the title says, I want to rename/change database for State Service Application.
I did some experiments wit it as suggested by others but I think I somehow managed to broken my service.
I can SharePoint Products Configuration again and I got another database State_Service_GUID which I didnt want at the first place.
I followed the steps on
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff851878.aspx#State and it failed as well, and I am in middle of no where.
I am even not sure if my service is properly running or not. I can see it in Service Applications page in Central Administration as Started but I cannot select it and use ribbon operations on it.

Hi ,
Rename the Service Database
Go to SQL Management Studio and rename the database
Open SQL Management Studio. You may have to go to your SQL Server to do this.
Attach to the instance that host SharePoint
Find your database
Right click on the database name and choose Rename
Delete the GUID off the end of the name or make the name whatever you want then press Enter. SQL Database is now renamed. Notice I changed all of the spaces to underscores. Why? Because DBAs hate spaces in names more than they hate GUIDs and I am a nice
guy.
Now go to your SharePoint Server and use PowerShell to set the database name.
Click Start > All Programs > Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products > SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. If you have UAC enabled be sure to run it as Administrator.
Then run the following line. Be sure to replace your info for service app and database name.
Now you can celebrate you have saved the world another GUID. I have a master post here with all of the anti GUID posts linked in one place. Right here.
Thx

Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint 2010 - SQL database edition?

We currently have a SharePoint 2010 farm, running on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard database. On one of the SharePoint 2010 servers, we have an instance of Reporting Services 2008 Enterprise running in SharePoint integrated mode. (We require Enterprise
for data-driven subscriptions)
We'd like to upgrade to Reporting Services 2012 for Data Alerts and a few other new features. However, I noticed something on
this blog stating that the SharePoint 2010 database server edition needs to match the Reporting Services edition. My concern is that I've not seen any official mention of this in Microsoft's documentation, and would like to avoid upgrading to Enterprise
for the SharePoint 2010 database if I can avoid it.
So, what I'd like to run is:
SharePoint 2010
SharePoint database: SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard
Reporting Services 2012 Enterprise
Reporting Services database: same as SharePoint database, so SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard
Is this possible? Or do I need to upgrade the SharePoint database to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise?
Alternatively, could I install a separate database engine just for Reporting Services to host its databases (for example, SQL Server 2012 Enterprise), so I don't have to mess around with upgrading the SP database?

While you don't need to upgrade your SQL 2008 R2 to 2012, you will need to install an instance of SQL 2012 & SSRS 2012. They can be side-by-side and independent of each other. The following blog post provides steps to do so,

Question regarding the powershell creation of service applications in SharePoint 2010/2013

Hi
I create all my service applications in SharePoint 2010/2013 using Powershell.
Is there a "best practice" when to start the service Instance for a service application? Is it better to start the service instance prior to creating a service application or after the service application has been create?
I'm curious.
best regards
Bjorn

Not that i'm aware of. If it works then go for it.
I would tend to build the service application and only then activate the instances on servers, however that is going to depend heavily on the application in question. The real heavyweights like Search are a special case in any event.

Service application in sharepoint 2010

hi all,
i'm new to sharepoint. i have a small problem, i have created a customer service application and deploey it to sharepoint and tested it, and everything worked fine for me. now i checked the IIS and under Sharepoint Web Services i couldn't find my service,
can anybody tell what can be the cause for such an issue and how i can see the guid of my service under Sharepoint Web Services in IIS (Make sure that this is a custom service application).
thanks very much !!

Hi,
if you deploy the custom service application, we can’t find it under SharePoint Web Service site in IIS. We can find it in SharePoint Central Administration.

Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint 2010 - do I need to install SSRS on each server?

Have spent some time today setting up SSRS2012 with SP1 Business Intelligence Edition on our test SharePoint 2010 farm. The SharePoint farm is four servers (plus a database) - one of the application servers will host the SQL Server 2012 instance and
SSRS 2012.
I've installed SSRS 2012 on one of the servers in SharePoint mode, and seems to be configured correctly in Central Admin - can view the system settings, it reports that the SQL Server Agent is running, etc. I've also installed the SSRS 2012 SharePoint
Add-In on all servers. However, I'm getting the following error whenever I try to do anything with reports (such as deploying or running):
Name=Request (POST:http://sharepoint/reports/ReportService2010.asmx) System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The file you are attempting to save or retrieve has been blocked from this Web site by
the server administrators.
Sure enough, if I try to connect to that ReportService2010.asmx URL in a browser, I get the same error. Note that http://sharepoint is NOT the server I installed SSRS on - this is a web front-end.
Can I assume that I need to install SSRS2012 (SharePoint integrated) on all SharePoint servers in the farm? Or is this another issue?

You only need to install the Add-on for the additional servers. Have you configured the SSRS Service Application?

Can I create a call service database in Sharepoint

Hi there,
I'm having a bit of trouble working out where in Sharepoint I can create a database for keeping track of calls for the IT help desk.
Should I go through Sharepoint CRM and then follow the Microsoft Dynamics CRM wizard?
I guess basically what I'm asking is which module of Sharepoint provides similar functionality to Microsoft Access, if any?
thanks,

Adding a custom rendering extension to SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 for SharePoint 2010 integrated mode

We are attempting to add OfficeWriter report rendering extensions for SSRS 2012 in SharePoint (2010) integrated mode through powershell. The documentation for “New-SPRSExtension” is rather
sparse and we have not found any clear examples on the internet. With SSRS 2012 in native mode, we make the following two changes to the config files:
We add the following report rendering extension declaration to
RSReportServer.config:
<Configuration>
    <Extensions>
<Render>
<Extension Name="XLTemplate" Type="SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ReportingServices.ExcelTemplateRenderer,
SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.RS2008"/>
<Extension Name="WordTemplate" Type="SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ReportingServices.WordTemplateRenderer,
SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.RS2008"/>
</Render>
    </Extensions>
</Configuration>
We add the following security trust codegroup to
RSSvrPolicy.config:
<configuration>
    <mscorlib>
<security>
<policy>
<PolicyLevel version="1">
  <CodeGroup version="1" PermissionSetName="Nothing">
  <CodeGroup
                          version="*"
                          PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
                          Name="SoftArtisans_OfficeWriter_Strong_Name"
                          Description="This
code group grants SoftArtisans OfficeWriter code full trust.">
                      <IMembershipCondition
                          class="StrongNameMembershipCondition"
      version="*"

What would be the equivalent syntax for “New-SPRSExtension” to do the above for SSRS 2012 in SharePoint (2010) integrated mode?
Alison Bird SoftArtisans Technical Services www.softartisans.com

Hi Alison,
Unlike the deployment of other custom extensions such as custom delivery extension and data processing extension, it is not necessary to add a code group for the custom assembly that grants FullTrust permission for the extension during the deployment of
custom rendering extension. If you have copy the custom assembly to the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.<InstanceName>\Reporting Services\ReportServer\Bin folder, and modify the RSreportserver.config file to add the extention entry properly,
please open the SSRS Service Application created on the SharePoint and verify that your extension is included in the list of available export types for a report.

Attaching TFS sharepoint database to Sharepoint 2010

Hello,
I'm in the middle of upgrading from TFS 2008 (on one server) to TFS 2013 (on another server). I was able to get the TFS portion of the upgrade working, but I'm encountering some difficulty with the Sharepoint database portion. Due to the specs
of the server, I will need to use Sharepoint 2010 instead of Sharepoint 2013. I have a copy of the Sharepoint databases on a SQL Server 2012 instance (on a different server then the actual Sharepoint software). Should I just proceed to attach the
TFS Sharepoint database to the Sharepoint 2010 instance? If so, isn't that done with a stsadm.exe command? I have also yet to configure the Sharepoint 2010 instance in case there is some special considerations when dealing with the TFS sharepoint
databases.
Thanks!

Not able to open infopath form connected with database in sharepoint 2010

I have created one infopath form which is connected with sql server database.
Now when i am trying to open this form from sharepoint,its giving me following error:
Please help to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards
rajni

Hello,
If i understood you correctly, you have SP list and there are some records. Now you want to open your infopath form when clicks on add new item in the same list. I am still confuse about "from table 'Account'" this line. Are you saying that you are fetching
records from SQL table to PS list?
Anyway, you can modify the existing list form infopath so you could be able to open the infopath form instead of default newform.aspx page. Later you can create a new data connection in that customize form to display data in table format from same list.
You can follow this video for connection:
