Search Crawl status = Paused for:External request

Just checked my search crawl history and it hasn't run in a week.
Saw another post that said it may be a Symmantec issue, but we're not using Symmantec.
Thanks,
Scott

Curious if you're on at least SP2 or Infrastrucuture Update?  There were major changes to the search infrastucuture delivered in those releases
http://blog.dafran.ca/post/2013/08/16/SharePoint-2010-Scheduled-Crawls-not-Running.aspx1) Stop the Windows SharePoint Timer Service
2) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config
3) Go into the single folder in there that has a GUID type name.
4) You see a whole bunch of XML files and a file cache.ini
5) Copy all the XML files to another folder somewhere (for backup), then delete them but do not delete cache.ini
6) Edit cache.ini to contain just the number "1" in the file - erase whatever is there and replace with "1"
7) Restart the Windows SharePoint Timer Service
8) You should see XML files being regenerated in the folder

  • Search Administrative status = Paused for:External request

    Hi all,
    I've got a strange issue in my SP2013 Standard Farm.
    The search service stops itself every night, the Administrative status is set to "Paused for:External request".
    Does someone knows why it happens and how to avoid it?
    Thanks

    For those who have the same problem, this is the powershell script I used to resume SP2013 search service:
    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication –Identity "Search Service Application"$ssa | Resume-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication

  • Search Crawl status throwing error

    Hi,
    We installed MOSS on our clients machine and Search has been problematic from the getgo.
    When we have performed a forced restart on the osearch service (http://bruteforcesharepoint.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html), within the next couple of hours the crawler status wil be Error. But, search at this point is still working. Indexing basically
    stops and event errors are thrown in the event logs, but searching is still possible.
    Here are the symptoms:
    the Crawl status is 'Error'
    /ssp/admin/_layouts/searchsspsettings.aspx (Search Settings page) is throwing a HTTP 403 error : The website declined to show this webpage.
    I can still get to the Search Administration, and when I go to view the Content Sources or view the crawl logs specifically, I get the same 403 error.
    When I try to 'Reset all crawled content', that is when Search dies. I get the message an exception error message.
    When I try to stop the Office SharePoint Search service in Central Admin, it hangs in the Stopping state. It'll only come out of this if I go through the task manger and manually force the process to stop and then start it again using the
    stsadm -o osearch -action start -role index
    command then search starts again. And I have to reset the crawled content and perform a full crawl (apart from also reconfiguring the indexer). I can successfully perform a full crawl, takes about 2 hours and it does an incremental crawl for the first
    couple of increments. Then all of a sudden I get the follow errors in the event view log:
    Error event ID: 1030
    Source: Userenv
    Desc: Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this.
    And then we get thousands on the following error (the indexing schedule timer job basically stops working):
    Error event id 6398
    Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3
    Desc: The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.IndexingScheduleJobDefinition (ID b6d1868e-26a5-4ae2-b922-0f129fd77a61) threw an exception. More information is included below.
    Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
    Now before you ask me about permission, we have created an admin user called spadmin who has access to everything and is the default content access account as well. It is also spadmin that is running the osearch, not the network account.
    Can anyone provide any insights into why we are experiencing this issue??? We have gone round in circles trying to figure out what we're doing wrong or whether this is a sharepoint issue.
    any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

    hi danielle,
    I was also in a same sort of situation,  here is what i did:
    1> locate the catalog file directory.
    2>place CI dumps in the 12 hive/bin folder.
    3>run the command
    cidump -dump "catalog filedirectory location" -widset>c:\xyz.txt
    4>search with the word "exception" if there is a hit eg
    error:excetion caught xxxxxxxxx in shadow index xxxxxxxx then u need to delete this index.
    5>run below command
    cidump -removeindex "catalog filedirectory location" -i xxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxx signifies the shadow index .
    6> restart the searchservice manually,timersevice.
    if the issue persists let us know

  • How do I set the response status code for a request in ADF?

    For example:
    I have a page accessible like page.jspx?id=$ID, in which $ID identifies an object stored in a database. The user navigates to page.jspx?id=abc. abc does not exist or has been deleted. I wish to set the response status code to 404 for the page request, like, for instance, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=abc does. How do I do this?
    PS: Changing the status code for subsequent partial submits on the page if the object is deleted while the user is on the page (e.g. if the user attempts to delete an already deleted object through a "Delete" button on the page) may also be desirable, but would probably not fit in as well with the ADF lifecycle or be as useful.

    Maybe I should be more specific about the current state of the code. It's something functionally similar in relevant portions to the following. For the purposes of this code, assume the ID maps only to a name, rather than a more complicated object:
    page.jspx looks like:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
         xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
         xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"
         xmlns:trh="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/html" version="1.2">
         <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
         <f:view>
              <af:document binding="#{pageInitializer.dummyComponent}" title="#{pageData.name != null ? pageData.name : 'Object Not Found'}">
                   <af:outputText rendered="#{pageData.name != null}" value="#{pageData.name}" />
                   <af:outputText rendered="#{pageData.name == null}" value="No object was found at this URL." />
              </af:document>
         </f:view>
    </jsp:root>pageInitializer and pageData are pageFlow-scoped beans with the following code:
    class PageInitializer {
         @Inject private PageData pageData;
         @Inject private NameDao nameDao;
         @PostConstruct
         void initialize() {
              String name = nameDao.getNameById(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("id"));
              if (name != null)
                   pageData.setName(name);
              else
                   // TODO: Set status code 404
         public void setDummyComponent(UIComponent dummyComponent) {
         public UIComponent getDummyComponent() {
              return null;
    public class PageData {
         private String name;
         public String getName() {
              return name;
         public void setName(String name) {
              this.name = name;
    }The code initializes the data from the database through the initilaizer of a pageFlow-scoped bean with a dummy setter for the document because I read somewhere that that would work, and it seems to work, even though it seems hacky.
    Ideally, the code would render the 404 where it currently says (// TODO: Set status code 404). I realize this may not even be possible given the current architecture, because part of the response body has already been rendered, and I believe, but cannot find a source to cite, that the status code and headers cannot be set after the body has started being rendered. Is there any architecture that would get me this page's functionality (even if it's two JSPXs on the backend (which might be ideal)) and be able to render a 404 for an inexistent object?

  • 404 status check for external website

    Hi,
    In my application, i want to check for some external website.
    e.g. i have my own application and in that there is a link of some different website i.e. www.yahoo.com. I click that link and in case of 404 error, we should get some customized error page instead of "The page cannot be displayed"
    Please let me know if there are any other information you want
    ~Aman

    did you try simply to create the URL:URL yahoo = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/");and see if this throws an exception or not?
    If that isn't enough you could try the create a connection:java.net.URLConnection yc = yahoo.openConnection();greetz

  • Inbox Search - status for service request not updated

    Hi,
    In inbox search, the status change for a service request does not reflect until the user log offs or opens the service request in edit mode. PFB the steps followed. (Two users are monitoring the service request but is being processed only by one)
    Web UI window 1(User 1): I open the inbox search result page. Service requests are displayed with the status field
    Web UI window 2(User 2): In a separate window, the service request is approved by changing the status of the service request to Approved.
    Web UI window 1(User 1): In the inbox result screen, i click on search for the same search criteria, but still the old status of the service request(updated in window 2) is displayed.
    Observation:
    1. If I open the service request, the service request still has the old status. If i click on edit, the new status is displayed. If i click on Back button (without clicking on edit), the new status is refelected for the service request in the inbox result page now.
    2. If I log off and again open the inbox result, the new status of the service request is reflected.
    3. The status of the service request is updated in the database immediately user 2 changes the status.
    There is no enhancement done for the inbox search. The behavior is for standard inbox result.
    Please provide any pointers to resolve this issue.
    Regards,
    Radhika
    Edited by: Radhika Chuttani on Jan 5, 2011 7:13 AM

    Radhika,
    This is standard behavior in the SAP inbox. The reason is that SAP buffers search results in the Inbox in order to improve performance. So even though you hit "search" again, SAP does not update the search results because this search has already been executed in this session. Clicking "End" or logging off refreshes the buffer.
    SAP released a note to update the "Responsible Employee" in the Inbox without requiring the user to log off. You can see their explanation and the solution here:
    https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1465966
    If you want to enable inbox refresh every time a search is executed, you will probably have to do custom coding. My guess is that you may be able to leverage the CRM_IC_INBOX_BADI. Let me know if this much info is enough or if you want further details on how to technically achieve this.

  • External requests and QA Approval procedure

    Hi all,
    We have the standard solution “QA Approval procedure” implemented. This solution is to become mandatory the approve of all requests in Quality Assurance systems before imported in production system. When I have an external request imported in the development system, it arrives with a different transport layer. The SAP suggestion is create a request of “transport of copies”, and after then copy the external request to this new request. The problem is that when we are transporting the new request (transport of copies), it also cannot be approved in QA.
    I'd like to know if somebody already configured the QA approved procedure for external requests.
    best regards

    Did you put a message to SAP? I have never come across this problem.
    What is your system release?

  • BBPSC18 - Request for external staff - Classic Scenario in SRM 5.0 possible

    Hello Community,
    one of my customers wants to use "Reqest for External Staff". As far as I remember, in SRM 5.0 it is only possible in "Standalone Scenario".
    Is this assumption correct? So not possible in Classic Scenario?
    How about "Extended Classic"? Probably not possible either, right?
    Thanks for any help or input!
    Cheers, Julian

    Hi Rahul,
    thanks for your answer!
    Actually I am only looking into the part "Request for External Staff" - "Acceppt Bid" - "Create PO (Classic in ERP)".
    I have seen that this part works in SRM 7.01.
    But currently we are not planning to upgrade. We are still on 5.0.
    I tested the abovementioned process in our DEV-System. I behaves fine, no error messages. But when I want to create the PO out of the "Check Status" (yes, in SRM 5.0 this was possible), the system pretends to create a PO but it never gets created. So I just wonder if I missed some customizing, or if this also only works in Standalone or if there maybe is a smart technical workaround (some custom coding etc...).
    Cheers, Julian

  • Do view life time and view recent property apply for external URL from crawling?

    Hi All,
    I wonder that do viewlifetime count and viewrecents apply for the external URL from the crawler?
    I saw it does work for local SharePoint URL but not too sure for the external URL.
    And in that case, is it possible to sort the search result by viewlifetime/viewrecent for both Local SharePoint Sites and External Site from crawler?
    Best Regards,
    Andy

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use viewliftime and viewrecent property when crawing external URL.
    Per my knowleage, the viewlifetime and viewrecent property does not apply for external URL from crawling.
    In my environment, I can edit the refinement panel in search center page to display viewlifetime and viewrecent when I crawl SharePoint Sites.
    However, when I crawl external site, in the search center page, I cannot get any information about the result items.
    Here is a great blog about how to crawl external site for your reference:

  • Create a cache for external map source - Error in parsing xml request.

    Rob

    Hi Chris,
    thanks for your reply!
    I've tried to add the following into persistence.xml (although I've read that eclipseLink uses L2 cache by default..):
    <shared-cache-mode>ALL</shared-cache-mode>
    Then I replaced the Cache bean with a stateless bean which has methods like
    Genre findGenreCreateIfAbsent(String genreName){
    Genre genre = genreDAO.findByName(genreName);
    if (genre!=null){
    return genre;
    genre = //Build new genre object
    genreDAO.persist(genre);
    return genre;
    As far as I undestood, the shared cache should automatically store the genre and avoid querying the DB multiple times for the same genre, but unfortunately this is not the case: if I use a FINE logging level, I see really a lot of SELECT queries, which I didn't see with my "home made" Cache...
    I am really confused.. :(
    Thanks again for helping + bye

  • EREC : Job search for external agencies still displays expired job posting

    For external job agencies when they go to view publications. It still displays the job postings which have expired.
    For example it displays job postings whose end date is 15.06.2011, no extension has been done for this postings.
    It allows applications be created for these postings as well. Any idea on how this can be prevented.
    Thanks in advance

    You mean by the reference code search? Yes, there you see by default all codes.

    I believe this is ready for submission for the Time Machine forum.
    As noted, it does not cover diagnosis and correction of specific problems or errors, as that would seem to be better handled separately.
    It also doesn't cover anything about Time Capsule, for the very good reason that I'm not familiar with them. If someone wants to draft a separate post for it, or items to add/update here, that would be great!
    Thanks very much.
