Setting up Sharepoint 2013 for apps

I may have screwed up the appropriate permissions for the service accounts/application pools necessary to get store apps to work. At this point I think I need to start over, but the rest of our Sharepoint install is working. Can I safely remove the App Management
Service Application and Proxy plus the Subscription Settings Service Application and Proxy?
Our Sharepoint 2013 installation is pretty basic - just the Sharepoint application server and a 2012 database server.

Hi,
Any Service Application can be deleted and recreated again. Just make sure that your farm is not depended of the service application while you delete it. One way is to remove the association and see if your Web application work correctly! Make also sure
if you need to keep the service application database or not! If you choose to delete the related data, SQL databases will be deleted too.
Note that Subscription Settings Service Application can't be created using the UI. You need Powershell, see below:
New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplication -ApplicationPool "SharePoint Web Services Default" -Name "Subscription Settings Service Application" -DatabaseName "SubscriptionSettingsDB"
| New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplicationProxy

Crawl log error in sharepoint 2013 for search services

Dear Support,
please find below mention crawl log error in sharepoint 2013 for search services.
8,597 The server is unavailable and could not be accessed. The server is probably disconnected from the network.
423 This item could not be crawled because the repository did not respond within the specified timeout period. Try to crawl the repository at a later time, or increase the timeout value on the Proxy and Timeout page in search administration. You might also
want to crawl this repository during off-peak usage times.
59 Processing this item failed because of a timeout when parsing its contents.
11 The filtering process has been terminated
4 SharePoint returned an empty response.
3 The crawler could not communicate with the server. Check that the server is available and that the firewall access is configured correctly.
2 The crawler could not communicate with the server. Check that the server is available and that the firewall access is configured correctly. If the repository was temporarily unavailable, an incremental crawl will fix this error.
would request your support for resolving this type of issue

1. Are you able to browse the sites on SP server. server is unavailable means that application pool
of that site is down. Check application pool on all server. if you start any application pool. make sure it does not stop few minutes later. you need to update password if it does stop
2. Create a disable loopbackcheck of registry on all servers

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926642/en-us
3. Create a new search service application and check if you face same issue.
4. I assume you have change some password or other setting when you started facing this issue. what changes were made in environment

Also, I tried removing SP.SOD.executeFunc
from my code, but no success :(

Setting up SharePoint 2013 Apps in a load balanced environment

All,
Looking for some articles on how to configure SharePoint 2013 Apps in a load balanced farm (2 WFEs, 2 APP servers, 2 SQL DBs).
Thank you!

if the load balancing environment is already well configured, thes rest is very easy, there is no difference between a configuration of load balancing environment and a simple one, for you that is transparent, except the manual deployment and manual copying
of files in the directory 15

SharePoint 2013 multi App domain issues

Hello,
All urls on purpose have a space character, this is because the forum didn't let me enter URLs.
We have a problem with the new feature of SharePoint 2013 March PU “New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain”.
We are implementing this feature for a client in Windows Azure. This lead to several technical issues to overcome and in previous LAB tests it seems that we have overcome these problems, using named binding instead of wildcard, and SNI.
Goal:
1 Webapplication with three zones:
Default zone: https: //portal-ntlm.contoso.com
Intranet zone: https: //portal-adfs.contoso.com
Extranet zone: https: //portal-fba.contoso.com
Default zone in NTLM of course is to make Search work.
With the new feature described in http ://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn144963.aspx we should be able to get App Domains working on all three (or at least two out of three zones).
In my LAB (Single server farm, running SP2013 SP1) I currently configured two zones, both NTLM to test the basics.
Default zone: https: //portal.contoso.com Intranet zone: https: //portal-ta.contoso.com
I have enabled the feature using these commands:
$contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$contentService.SupportMultipleAppDomains = $true
$contentService.Update()
Iisreset
Then I do this:
New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain -AppDomain app1.fabrikam.com -WebApplication https: //portal.contoso.com -zone default -port 443 –SecureSocketsLayer       (This command works)
and then:
New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain -AppDomain app2.fabrikam.com -WebApplication https: //portal-ta.contoso.com -zone intranet -port 443 –SecureSocketsLayer   (This one doesn’t)
Then we get this powershell error in RED:
New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain : The IIS Web Site you have selected is in use
by SharePoint. You must select another port or hostname.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain -AppDomain apps2-ta.talentenik.nl
-WebApplication ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...cationAppDomain:
   SPCmdletNewWebApplicationAppDomain) [New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain], Argum
entException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAppCmdlets
   .SPCmdletNewWebApplicationAppDomain
Extra info:
I have tried using a single IP, multi IP, remove current IIS Binding, add the binding already etc. Nothing seems to work.
When I change the PORT number of the second command to anything else it binds to the expected IIS Site but on the wrong port nr.
The most strange thing also: I have a working set of VMs that actually works. I created a snapshot of the working situation. Reverted back to the before snapshot and tried to replay my steps but I keep running into issues when I try to add the second app-domain.
Can anyone help me set this up.
Thx
Stefan Peters

I was in the same situation with my on-premises environment. I did a little bit more investigation and checked the code behind New-SPWebApplicationAppDomain. I wrote a full article about this issue
http://www.vioreliftode.com/index.php/new-spwebapplicationappdomain-the-iis-web-site-you-have-selected-is-in-use-by-sharepoint-you-must-select-another-port-or-hostname/
I also provided a way to bypass the limitation and be able to reuse the 80 and 443 ports for multiple app domains.

Office 365 - SharePoint 2013 Online - App Domain

I have noticed that Microsoft itself using the same domain for app.
example :
hosting URL (office 365) : http://*.sharepoint.com
App domain : http://*.sharepoint.com
According to TechNet: "You must configure a new name in Domain Name Services (DNS) to host the apps. To help improve security, the domain name should not be a subdomain of the domain that hosts the SharePoint sites. "
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236%28v=office.15%29.aspx
my second question is that how app will work for vanity urls (host-named site collections)
like... https://portal.domainA.com, https://share.domainB.com and so on...
thanks.
ja

firstly on-premise bits can also be used to offer multi tenancy.
Inder : Yes it can be used for multi tenancy but it is rarely used. Which is why they share same service application and other settings. where in case of multi tenancy, security is taken into consideration and all service application are created in partitioned
mode. this helps not to share data between sites and security is maintained.
second part of your comments not much clearer..
below mentioned sites exists on the same web app.
1. site collection url : https://test.domain.com app url will be https://test-629dbe9907ec81.domain.com/app-name
Inder: There will always be one URL for app which will be used by all web applications and host header site collection.
Your app URL will be app.domain.com which will be used for all web application\site collections http://123.domain.com, http://456.domain.com, http://newdomain.com,
http://anothernewdomain.com
2. site collection url : https://portal.test.com app url ? and where to configure that.
Inder: This app.domain.com URL does work for https sites. :)
means unlimited app domains in SharePoint. or we are bound to use single domain for all?
Inder: Yes, single domain for app apps

Invoking-sp-modaldialog-in-sharepoint-2013-hosted-apps

Hello All,
I'm building a SharePoint 2013, SharePoint Hosted app project using the JSOM api. I have to make use of the SP.UI.ModalDialog to popup some content in the app.
I have used the getScript method to load the sp.js, sp.runtime.js and SP.RequestExecutor.js. I also have the necessary Microsoft SP js(MicrosoftAjax.js) and
other jQuery files referenced in my app. Even after loading these files, when I call the method to show a simple popup on the screen I get a
JavaScript error saying :Error: Unable to get property 'execute' of undefined or null reference.
I also have the <WebPartPages:AllowFraming ID="AllowFraming1" runat="server"/>
on the top of my app part page.
Following is the code I have used in the app.
$(document).ready(function () {
    var scriptbase = HOST_WEB_URL + '/_layouts/15/';
    $.getScript(scriptbase + 'SP.Runtime.js',
        function () {
          $.getScript(scriptbase + 'SP.js',
                function () { $.getScript(scriptbase + 'SP.RequestExecutor.js', openDialog); }
function openDialog() {
    var options = {
        url: "/_layouts/15/accessdenied.aspx?IsDlg=1",
        title: 'Sharing Information',
        width: 500,
        height: 200,
        allowMaximize: false,
        showClose: true
                SP.SOD.execute('sp.ui.dialog.js', 'SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog', options);
    return false;
The error comes up with the SP.SOD.execute().
Has anyone faced this issue before? Can anyone help me correct this?
Thanks in advance

How do I set a volume limit for apps?

My son and daughter like to use our iPhones (4 and 4S) to play with various kids apps, but they often crank the volume to the max which is both annoying and makes me concerned that we will blow out the speakers on the phone. I know how to limit volume for music and video, but is there a way to do it for apps?

Davidd,
The nuetralzone object work well for this problem. When the high level is reached, it will give you an alarm. On the reset of the alarm you can set to the alarm value minus a value the bin must drop before it resets the alarm.
If you are wanting a time delay, you can attach a timer object to the high level in the bin and then attach the alarm object to the timer. This will give you a time delay before the alarm becomes active. After the alarm is activated and if the high level switch resets itself, the timer will reset and a new alarm will be generated.
Hope this helps.

Setting up Sharepoint 2013 approval workflows depending on field value

Dear Microsoft Support,
I am still relatively new to Sharepoint-Infopath and would need help with setting up workflows for a requisition form I am creating. I have designed and created a form using Infopath 2013 and have successfully created the link
to have the data uploaded into my Sharepoint Server 2013 library. This form's purpose is to have our users make supply requisitions from the Warehouse department. We are a school, therefore, there are numerous different departments with different approvers.
My goal now is to setup the approval workflows using Sharepoint Designer 2013. The complication now is that only certain people need to approve the requests, depending on the department selected. For example, I am in the IT department, if I put a field's value
as "IT" the form will be sent to the IT department manager prior to going to the Warehouse department for processing. If the user chose "English", the form will be routed to the English department head for approval. What are the steps that
I would take to have that kind of customization? How do I setup approval workflows in Sharepoint Designer 2013 to meet that?
I have tried searching for solutions over the web, but all of them are too generalized and would not be related to my case in terms of different approvers depending on the different departments in our school. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Jason

I would create a second SharePoint list that is set up with two columns. The first column is Title (which is a default column) and the second column is 'Person or Group' column and name it 'Approver'. Then enter the department in the title field and select
the person who needs to approve that department's forms in the 'Approver' field. Use this list and pull in this information in the InfoPath form by creating a data connection to the newly created list and set up the filter to only pull
back the information where 'Title' = 'Department'. After this information is pulled into your form, store the approver information in a hidden field in the InfoPath form and use that field throughout the workflow.
I know this is a very brief explanation so let me know if you need more information.
