Reports for Sharepoint Foundation 2013

The farm consists of two servers : 
server01 : SharePoint Foundation 2013 Web Front End and Application Server 
server02 :SQL Server 2012, hosts config and content databases
I need to create some basics reports and pivot tables reports with totals or calculations using lists from
multi-sites of a single Collection. How ca I do that ?
Thanks for help.

The easiest way to do that would be to use PowerPivot and Excel Services.  But those are both features that aren't available in Foundation.  You would need to upgrade to SharePoint server.  I don't know of any way to do pivot tables in SharePoint
without Excel Services which requires SharePoint Server.

    I suspect that both errors have the same root cause, but I could do with some assistance in resolving this. Do I need to install some Microsoft Chart Controls by any chance? I am assuming that as the links are there in SharePoint Foundation, that they should
    be working within this edition of SharePoint.

    Hi  Kevin,
    According to your error message,  please  make sure "Resources.MossChart.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "App_GlobalResources.kbifvsaw”, it seems like that mosschart.resx
    and mosschart.en-US.resx missing or bad of the error web site.
    To correct the problem you can manually deploy the resource files to the correct IIS Virtual Directory location. To deploy the resource files manually following the steps below.
    1. Navigate to 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\CONFIG\Resources'
    2. Copy the files 'mosschart.resx' and 'mosschart.en-US.resx'.
    3. Navigate to the IIS Virtual Directory of your SharePoint website
    4. Paste 'mosschart.resx' 'mosschart.en-US.resx’ into the Virtual Directory's App_GlobalResources folder
    5. Perform an IISRESET
    6. Refresh your page.

  • Site Login Behavior For SharePoint Foundation 2013 Users With Expired Passwords?

    What are the most user-friendly ways of getting external users with expired AD passwords back into the SharePoint site with a new working password?
    We already send automated email notifications to users reminding them to change their soon-to-expire passwords.  However, sometimes they miss seeing the email notifications before the password expires (such as after returning from vacation or just carelessness
    and lack of attention to email messages) or they see the warning messages and forget to act on it.
    When this happens and they try to log into the SharePoint site from the Internet, their login fails without telling the user the reason they can't log in is because their password expired.  So, they end up confused and call the help desk to get their
    password reset.
    Is there a way to set up SharePoint Foundation 2013 login in a similar way to the OWA login so that, when a user with a correct but expired password tries to log in, it gives them a prompt to set a new password right there rather than just an error indicating
    their login failed for unknown reasons or password is "incorrect?"

    It could be done. You get a different event log entry for an expired login attempt than for a wrong password, 4625 events denote a login failure and an error ID of 23 denotes a logon failure.
    A naff, but simple, approach would be to create a tool that checks your server logon event log for 4625 entries and then emails that user, or the help desk, or security, that they're trying to get onto your system with expired credentials.
    For a more polished experience you've got a lot more work and bluntly it's going to be impractical for you. You'd have to re-write sections of the SharePoint authentication process or intercept the process, both are risky and not a good idea to try.
    There's a really interesting paper here that might be of interest, it won't help you in your current situation but it might shed more light on the overall authentication/authorisation process.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Search Configuration Issue - 2 App Servers and 2 Front-End Servers

    Hi, 
    We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 with SP1 Environment. 
    In that, we have 2 Front-End Servers and 2 App Servers. In the Front-End Servers, the Search Service is stopped and is in Disabled state and in the 2 App Servers in One App Server, Search is Online and in another Search is Starting but goes to Stopped sooon
    after.
    Originally, we had only 1 App Server and we were running our Search Service and Search Service Application in that. Now since the index location became full and we were unable to increase the drive there, we added one more App Server and now the issue is
    Search is not properly getting configured in either of these App servers. What we want to do is run Search only in the new App Server, because we have a lot of storage space for Index locations here, but in the older App Server, not run Search at all.  We
    tried keeping the Search Service disabled and ran the below PowerShell Scripts, but none of the ones are working. These scripts are creating the Search Service Application, but the error of "Admin Component is not Online", "Could not connect
    to the machine hosting SharePoint 2013 admin component" is coming up.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 API

    Hi,
    I Wonder which are the SharePoint API used to develop an application (only) for SharePoint Foundation 2013 ? I know that SharePoint 2013 Core server class Library contains these namespaces but when you read NET server API reference for SharePoint 2013 all
    API apply to SharePoint Foundation.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj193058(v=office.15).aspx
    Thanks for your help
    Mutandis mutatis

    After testing ,I think I understand now. You can use all API and namespaces available to develop for example the same standard or enterprise functionality in SharePoint foundation 2013.

  • Sharepoint foundation 2013 Search Service Application.

    Hi all,
    I want to configure search application for sharepoint foundation 2013. I have followed some of the web links.
    But did not get success. Can you please provide me the working example of how to configure search application and run the crawl. And make sure the search is working correctly.
    Thanks  in advance for help.

    Hi Vishwajeet,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to configure SharePoint Foundation 2013 Search service application.
    In SharePoint Foundation 2013, we cannot add the Search Service to SharePoint Foundation 2013 from the Central Administration GUI after selecting a manual configuration method. It seems that the ONLY way you can add the Search Service to SharePoint Foundation
    2013 is by using the SharePoint Configuration Wizard.
    More information, please refer to the link:

  • Provision Search in SharePoint Foundation 2013 without Domain Controller / Active Directory - Domain accounts

    Hi,
    I have successfully setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 as single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts since DMZ doesn't have an Active Directory and hence Domain accounts using powershell as described
    in https://theblobfarm.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/installing-sharepoint-2013-without-a-domain-controller 
    When I run Farm configuration wizard to provision search service application, I get an error:
    ERROR: "The service application(s) for the service "Search Service Application" could not be provisioned because of the following error: I/O error occurred."
    The log file logged the details of this error as:
    ERROR: "Failed to create file share Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 at D:\SharePoint Search\Office Server\Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 (System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid
    that cannot be translated."
    After investigation, I found that potentially the error could be because the timer service is trying to setup a network share for analytics component (as part of provisioning search). It is trying to setup that share with a domain account that happens to
    be a local user instead in this case and fails with error “System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid that cannot be translated”.
    I got some pointer from the below thread
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c8e93984-f4e5-46da-8e8a-c5c79ea1ff62/error-creating-search-service-application-on-sharepoint-foundation-with-local-account?forum=sharepointadmin
    However, the above thread doesn't state that the solution worked.
    I have tried creating share manually for Analytics_<Guid> folder but it doesn't work since every time farm configuration wizards is run it creates a new Analytics_<Guid> folder.
    Since, I have setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 on a production environment I cannot test and trial various solutions.
    Can some please guide me on how to successfully provision search for SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup as a single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts (without Active Directory - domain accounts).
    Thanks in advance.
    Himanshu

    Microsoft documentation doesn't always specifically call out all products (Project Server isn't there, either). But it does apply. You'll need to stand up at least one Domain Controller, or allow port access back to a DC.
    Preferably, set up SharePoint on the internal network and use a reverse proxy (which will terminate client connections at the reverse proxy) present in the DMZ.

  • SCSM 2012 R2 Self Service Portal is supported on Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation 2013 Sp1 or not

    Hello,
    I have a requirement to install Self Service Portal on one dedicated Server and found that Both the Web Content Server and SharePoint Web Parts can be installed on single Server. I want to use Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 Foundation Server as
    it is free but it is not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    My query are -
    Can we use Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2013 Sp1 for the same purpose.
    Can we install Both the Web Content Server and SharePoint Web Parts on One Computer for Self Service portal
    I was referring the below link which says that Sharepoint 2013 is not supported, does it mean for Sharepoint foundation 2013 Sp1 is also not supported.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=24983 
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Ankur

    for background, there are actually three parts here. there is a SharePoint team site, there is the content distribution website, and there is the data access website. the data access and the content website are almost always collocated on the same servers,
    since they are both IIS virtual directories. the sharepoint team site is packaged for 2010, but it's been
    successfully installed on 2013 without problems. 
    you have a couple of options:
    you can put all three web componets on the same server by using foundation 2010
    you can put all three on the same 2013 server using the method above
    you can put the two iisvds on a server and install the team site using the method above
    you can install the content and data access services on a separate server, and then install a scrap foundation SharePoint and export out the team site and import it into your existing SharePoint site

  • Automating Sharepoint Foundation 2013 Installation and Deployment of Project

    Hi all,
    I'm a long time software developer with absolutely no experience in Sharepoint.
    I have just joined a new company and I was asked by the team leader to create an installer for Sharepoint Foundation 2013 and a working Sharepoint solution made by the company, preferably using HTA.
    I have experimented installing it manually and deploying the solution, however, what's the best method to automate these two steps?
    I was thinking of something like AutoSPInstaller, and after the end of the installation, I would run Add-SPSolution and Install-SPSolution commands for deploying the solution.
    What do you think?

    So the only problem with SharePoint Foundation is that you cannot script the provisioning of the Search Service, you must use the wizard via Central Admin UI to create it. There is an unsupported workaround, but again, unsupported so I don't use it.
    I'd stay away from HTA and go just pure PowerShell prompts, myself though.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - report / chart / Graph for Employee vacation.

    In SharePoint Foundation 2013 I want to create a report / chart / Graph for Employee (Employee Id,Employee Name & Department) which will show month wise from which date to which date Employee are on vacation in particular department.
    I'm thinking to create one List where where user will enter there vacation details and from that list report I will create chart / Graph Department wise to check the Employees availability.
    Please provide some good example or idea in detail for this.

    Hi,
    Chart Web Parts are useful for visually representing data in line charts, bar charts, and other views. Charts enable you and other users to view performance information at a glance.
    In SharePoint 2013, chart web part is one of the discontinued features. We usually use Excel Service to replace it, however, Excel Service is only available in Enterprise edition, so we need to figure out coding methods or third party tool if you are using
    Foundation edition.
    Here are some links for workaround in your situation, please check if they can be help:

  • Sharepoint foundation 2013 collaboration - for a VERY small workgroup. Right choice???

    Hi!
    Let me start with a short background:
    I've developed an ASP.Net application which currently uses Apache Solr for search and retrieval operations and for that purpose it works well. However, the users of this application has started to ask for facilities such as discussion forums, document-collaboration
    (webdav, versioning, workflow...), calendars etc. and I'm faced with a feeling that I'm about to embark on a journey where I will develop functionality which is present in some of the "free" tools that Microsoft offers.
    I've downloaded Search Server Express 2010 and in a very short amount of time I was able to develop a rather, well, sophisticated collaboration environment which gives me almost all of the above. Search is a KEY-feature that is one of the major concerns
    for me as Solr provides alot of very sophisticated search-related operations but I've heard alot of good stuff about the Search Server included in SP Foundation 2013, which makes me wonder what that would give me if I take the plunge...
    I'm a complete newbie to this SP-related stuff so I thought I'd better ask the pros in this forum so I don't make any unwise decisions leaving me in the dust :)
    Soo, my dear fellow forum members - what would be the best way to go about this given the following facts:
    small workgroup (8 people)
    possibility to handle office-document, pdf-files and plain-text
    discussion forums (both team-based and public)
    team calendars
    possibility to provide, say, a REST-api for digesting text-based data
    powerful search facility able to index all of the document formats mentioned above
    I'm leaning towards SharePoint Foundation 2013... what do you say - will it provide the above?
    Many thanks to you all in advance,
    /Peter

    Simple answer: yes. SharePoint Foundation sounds like an excellent choice. There's one question that you'll need to answer: 8 people is not much, but how much data are they working with? That's probably not going to be an issue, but something you need
    to be aware of.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Can we use the foundation for intranet portal with high availability ( medium farm)

    Today I had requirement, where we have to use the SharePoint Foundation 2013 (free version) to build an intranet portal ( basic announcement , calendar , department site , document management - only check-in check-out / Version).
     Please help me regarding the license  and size limitations. ( I know the feature comparison of Standard / Enterprise) I just want to know only about the installation process and license.
    6 Server - 2 App / 2 Web / 2 DB cluster ( so total license 6 windows OS license , 2 SQL Server license and Guess no sharepoint licenes)

    Thanks Trevor,
    Is load balance service also comes in free license... So, in that case I can use SharePoint Foundation 2013 version for building a simple Intranet & DMS ( with limited functionality).  And for Workflow and content management we have to write code.
    Windows Network Load Balancing (the NLB feature) is included as part of Windows Server and would offer high availability for traffic bound to the SharePoint servers. WNLB can only associate with up to 4 servers.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 Optimization For Large File Transfer?

    We are considering upgrading from  WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2013.
    One of the improvements we want to see after the upgrade is a better user experience when downloading large files.  It can be done now, but it is not reliable.
    Our document library consists of mostly average sized Office documents, but it also includes some audio and video files and software installer package zip files ranging from 100MB to 2GB in size.
    I know we can change the settings to "allow" larger than default file downloads but how do we optimize the server setup to make these large file transfers work as seamlessly as possible? More RAM on the SharePoint Foundation server? Other Windows,
    SharePoint or IIS optimizations?  The files will often be downloaded from the Internet, so we will not have control over the download speed.

    SharePoint is capable of sending large files, it is an HTTP stateless system like any other website in that regard. Given your server is sized appropriately for the amount of concurrent traffic you expect, I don't see any special optimizations required.

    This post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of Microsoft, its employees, or other MVPs.
    I see information like this posted warning against doing it as if large files are going to cause your SharePoint server and SQL to crash. 
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/praveenh/archive/2012/11/16/issues-with-uploading-large-documents-on-document-library-wss-3-0-amp-moss-2007.aspx
    "Though SharePoint is meant to handle files that are up to 2 gigs in size, it is not practically feasible and not recommended as well."
    "Not practically feasible" sounds like a pretty dire warning to stay away from large files.
    I had seen some other links warning that large file in the SharePoint database causes problems with fragmentation and large amounts of wasted space that doesn't go away when files are removed or that the server may run out of memory because downloaded
    files are held in RAM.
