  • High Availibity solution for Sharepoint Service Applications

    I have a scenario with the three nodes SP1 , SP2 and DR-SP with server 2012 standard, each running SharePoint 2013 enterprise, All of three nodes are members of single SharePoint farm that spans two data centers.Primary Data Center have two nodes SP1 , SP2
    and DR data center have one node DR-SP of share point 2013.
    For MS SQL i have three nodes DB1, DB2 and DR-DB3 with server 2012 standard, each running an instance of SQL Server 2012 enterprise, participate in a
    single Windows Server Fail-over Cluster (WSFC) that spans two data centers.Primary Data Center have two nodes DB1 ,DB2 and DR data center have one node DR-DB of SQL Server 2012 enterprise.
    Currently i have configured these service applications on  primary data center nodes SP1 .How i can enable high availability for different service Applications  of SharePoint 2013  like Profile service application, search service application,
    managed meta data application in case of primary data center outage.

    stretched farms are not supported unless the WAN provides sub-millisecond ping times.

  • SCOM and SharePoint 2010 Add-In for Dashboards (Issue)

    I have an environment with SCOM 2007 R2, all working fine. I have installed ans new test server to integrate SCOM and SahrePoint 2010. On this server I have installed Visio 2010 (Yes, I know, never install Visio in a server, but this ins juts for test).
    I have installed Visio Add-In and SharePoint 2010 Add-In.
    All my dashboards created in Visio to reflect health state are working fine on Visio, in fullscreen. But, When I import this Visio file, (in . VWD), to SharePoint, I can see normally the Visio in my Webpart, all showing fine (I have used the step by step
    to configure SCOM and SharePoint integration). But, after my first Refresh for the diagram all Health State Icons becomes a FAIL Icon (like image below). This sounds like some permission problem, because on Visio all Health State Icons works fine.
    Someone can help me?

    I have used this step by step before, but I think the problem is a parte, because I dont understand better, the part is:
    To configure Visio Services for Read-Only Operator permissions on the RMS
    In order for Visio Services to refresh the diagrams that are published and connected to Operations Manager data, the Visio Services service application must be configured with credentials that have access to the RMS. This is because
    the Visio Services service application is executing the data provider which is responsible for returning the updated dataset from the RMS.
    The easiest way to configure this is to make the account that Visio Services is running as a Read-Only Operator on the RMS.
    To do this…
    Create domain account
    Run the Operations Manager console.
    From the Administration tab click on User Roles.
    In the User Roles list double-click on the Read-Only Operators role.
    Add the account that is configured for Service Application Pool.
    Can anyone help me about where configure this account on SharePoint??

  • Monitoring tool for sharepoints?

    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone know if there is some sort of an application or tool that allows to see which user/ IP is accessing what sharepoint on the server?
    We are running MAC OS X 10.4.9.
    Thanks
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi akshayc
    Server Admin > AFP > Access Log has various options to monitor client connections. DHCP will show which client (using client ID) IP address. These two together should give your relevant feedback. There may be a single application that performs both actions out there – I dont know of one – perhpas some of the other guys out there may know of something.
    BTW set your log detail for both services appropriately. HTH

  • Reporting Services 2012 for SharePoint and SQL Server Agent "Subscriptions and Alerts"

    After installing Reporting Services for SharePoint (Denali) in my test farm, I'm trying to configure the "SQL Server Agent" access for Reporting Services.  From Central Admin I'm going to the Reporting Service applicaiton configuration screen and selecting
    "Provision Subscriptions and Alerts".  I've tried both options on this screen.  I've manually executed the "download sql script" in SQL Server, as well as entering a user with SQL sys admin rights on the SQL server into the login fields on the screen. 
    The role and permissions have been created for the application pool service account, but Reporting Services is still trying to connect with the annonymous login because I'm getting the following alert each time I open the "Provision Subscriptions and Alerts"
    screen:
    Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'
    The "status" on the screen still shows "SQL Server Agent State cannot be determined".  Has anyone else seen this? 
    Thanks!!

    Thanks for your reply!
    1) Looks like the new Reporting Services does not run as a Windows Service so it's not listed in the "Configure Service Accounts" pulldown.  As a result, I don't see how to set the service account.  It's only assigned to an application pool. 
    I installed it into an existing application pool and that application pool "is" in the list and has a domain service account already assigned.
    2) Which users need to be in here in order to configure the "Provision Subscriptions and Alerts" screen?  I already have the farm admin account which is the account I use when running Central Admin.
    3) As mentioned in #1, I've installed Reporting Services into an existing application pool with other service apps.
    4) This link is for Reporting Services 2008 R2 which is very different install process.  But I did follow the SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 RC0 installation instructions and the Reporting Services is functioning correctly with no errors. 
    I'm just not able to configure the sceduling the alerting with interfaces with the SQL Server Agent.
    Thanks!

  • Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint- does it need an SQL Server license?

    In a new project we will be creating an SSRS in Sharepoint integrated mode. For this we'll need SQL Server and Sharepoint on that box.
    We'll also have one or more SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) servers. To allow them to connect to the SSRS-in-sharepoint-mode box, and to present the user with the right user interface for doing so, I believe we can install the Reporting Services Add-In for
    Sharepoint on the WFE servers.
    The question is, do we need to have  SQL Server license for each WFE server where we use the Reporting Services Add-In, or is it free to use?
    We've had advice that we need to buy a SQL Server license everywhere we use the add-in, but I am not sure this is correct.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rich

    Hello there,
    The Reporting service Add-in for SharePoint can be downloaded free on Microsoft Download site. That means it does not need any license on the add-in.

  • Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

    Hi all,
    I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows  server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox.  I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
    the DC server.  Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
    admin page, it gives error info:
    System status:  The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
    a good state and try again.
    Search Application Topology:  Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
    From event viewer, I see following errors:

    Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
    Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
    Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
    Thanks a lot.

    Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.

    $IndexLocation = "C:\Search"  #Location must be empty, will be deleted during the process!

  • Team Foundation Server 2013 update 4 New Install - Error 503 Service Unavailable for Sharepoint Central Admin

    Hello,
    I ran a new install of Team Foundation Server and let it install the built in SharePoint pieces on a single server setup. After the install i'm able to access the
    http://teamfoundation:8080/tfs/ address without issue but am unable to create a project. When I attempt to create a project I get the following error:
    TF30172: You do not have permission to create a new team project (when checking security i'm a member of the project collection administrators and Team Foundation Administrators)
    This led me to look at the sharepoint central administration site where I receive the following error:
    Error 503 Service Unavailable
    I've gone through and validated the identity is set correctly in IIS for the following services:
    SharePoint Central Admin v4
    SharePoint15AppPool
    The SharePoint Web Services Root is set as LocalService instead of the domain user.
    The identity domain user is setup as local administrator on the Team Foundation Server. They are all set to use .net v4.0.30319 with integrated Pipeline mode.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks!

    Hi Eric,      
    Thanks for your post.
    Please share your detailed team project creation log here.
    In your TFS Admin Console>>Extensions for SharePoint Products tab, ensure SharePoint Web Application shows correctly in the right panel. And go to TFS Admin Console>>Application Tier>>SharePoint Web Applications tab, ensure your SharePoint
    web application displays in the right panel, then select your SharePoint web application and click Repair Connection, ensure can repair successfully.
    In your IIS Manager, select your SharePoint Central Administration V4 site and click Browser:17012(http) in the right panel, check if your SharePoint Central site can be opened successfully or not. If your SharePoint Central site cannot be accessed, I think
    this issue relate to your SharePoint site, you should contact SharePoint experts to resolve this issue first. After you resolved this issue and your SharePoint Central Admin site can be accessed correctly, then try to create your team project(within SharePoint
    site) again, if there still has issue when creating team project, please share the detailed error message here, we will try to resolve it.

  • SQL 2012 SP1 Reporting Services for SharePoint (2013) - Install-SPRSService Not Available

    So, at this point, I've blown away an otherwise functional SP2013 + SQL2012SP1 multi-server farm trying to get this to work, only to end up with the same results. Irrespective of whether I install Reporting Services before or after the SP2013 server is in
    a farm, SSRS does not seem to be enabled in the farm. I cannot add a new SSRS service application (the menu item does not exist); I cannot start the SSRS service on server (because it isn't here); I cannot execute the Install-SPRSService cmd in SP (yes, the
    SharePoint) Powershell (PS comes back with this error:
    Install-SPRSservice : The term 'Install-SPRSservice' is not recognized as the
    name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
    spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is
    correct and try again.
    At line:1 char:1

    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Install-SPRSservice:String) [],
        CommandNotFoundException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
    Quite simply, something's broken. I've followed a couple of detailed how-to's on technet and elsewhere... Right at the point when I should be able to create the SSRS service application, the wheels come off the cart. I've tried Import-Module'ing the SQLCMDLETS
    and SQLPS PS modules...nothing... The strange thing is that after the installation of the SSRS, if I happen to go into the General Application Settings in Central Admin, I see a new item after Content Deployment:
    $Resources:ReportServerResources,AdminReportServerGroupTitle; 
    $Resources:ReportServerResources,ManageIntegrationSettings; | 
    $Resources:ReportServerResources,AddTrustedAccounts; | 
    $Resources:ReportServerResources,SetServerDefaults; 
    When I uninstall, this goes away.
    Greatly appreciate any suggestions you can offer because this is driving me crazy, and I have tried everything I can think of to get this going...

    Make sure you are running SharePoint 2010 Management Shell not PowerShell.
    Also make sure you are running SharePoint 2010 Management Shell with administrator privileges. Right click the icon and click, "Run As Administrator".
    You must have installed "Reporting
    Services add-in for SharePoint Products" on the server where you are executing "Install-SPService".

  • SQL Server Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint not installing properly

    Environment: Windows Server 2008R2, SQL Server 2012, SharePoint 2013 Enterprise
    When I run the install for SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint it SHOULD install to c:\program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14 AND 15. Specifically it should drop a mess of ASPx pages for admin to the \templates\Admin\ReportServer
    folder. In this environment it only pushes them to the 14 folder and not the 15. Any ideas on why this would happen? I have not ever seen this before and it is hosing the install completely.

    Hi Gouranga,
    According to your description, when you install the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint 2013, you find the files are installed into the folder for sharepoint 2010(..../14). Right?
    In Reporting Services, Not all features are supported in all combinations of report server, Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint, and SharePoint Products. Please see the linke below:
    Supported Combinations of SharePoint and Reporting Services Server and Add-in (SQL Server 2012)
    As you can see in the link, the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in is only for Sharepoint 2010. This the reason why it's installed into the file for sharepoint 2010.

  • Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint Products

    Hi,
    Can I use the SSRS Web part installed by the add-in to see local mode reports just by instaling the add-in or do I also need to install the "Reporting Services - Sharepoint" on SS Shared Features setup wizard?
    Thanks,
    DD

    Hi,
    Per the MSDN article: To use the Web Part, you must have installed and configured the Reporting Services Add-in and configured the report server for SharePoint integration.
    You must also have reports to display in the viewer. You can only open reports that are in a library, a library folder, report history, or a link from a Library Web Part to a Report Viewer Web Part.
    You cannot open reports that are saved as an attachment to an item in a custom list.
    More reference:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms159772.aspx
    As this issue is related to reporting service, if you have more issues about reporting service, I recommend you post your issue to the forum for Reporting Service.

  • Difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013

    Hi, We are building company site with Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Edition and were wondering what is the difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013? What are the roles/purposes of each one? What
    happens if only Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode  installed or vise versa.
    Thank you in advance

    Reporting Services in SharePoint mode is a service for displaying, managing, and creating SSRS reports within SharePoint. The addin is a pre-req for SharePoint that is used to display reports and is required for Reporting Services in Native or SharePoint
    mode, but does not by itself do anything.

    Hello.
    After having the same issue like you in a recently installed SahrePoint 2013 SP1 farm, and using the information I found in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905871%28v=sql.110%29.aspx, I traced with the tool procmon the operation, and finally solved
    the problem after discovering a little bug.
    These were the steps I performed:
    1.- I installed "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 RS Add-in for SharePoint" with the command
    Msiexec.exe /i rsSharePoint.msi SKIPCA=1

    5.- Tracing the results in PROCMON, I discovered an extrange issue: The installation was looking for the command PSCONFIG.exe but in a in a folder different than standard.
    The installation was look for PSCONFIG in
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN\BIN
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN\BIN
    ...instead C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN or C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN
    So... the solution which worked for me was to create C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN\BIN and place here PSCONFIG.EXE and PSCONFIG.EXE.CONFIG obtained from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
    Extensions\15\BIN
    After doing it, the "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 RS Add-in for SharePoint" was installed fine as you can see en the next Command Prompt capture:
    C:\INSTALL\RS>rsCustomAction.exe /i

    Maybe this is a bug, or maybe a result of failed installation of PowerPivot, but the true is: for me that was the solution
