SharePoint 2010 Content from top level site hidden from search results on subsite.

Hi Everyone,
The issue I am having is that when a group of people are in there site, we'll call it site B, and they hit the search function, they only get results from site B and subsites of site B, but nothing from the top level site, site A. does anyone know of anyway
to get results from site A when searching in site B? This would really help me out a lot.
Thanks!
Best regards, Mike

Hi Mike,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display the content in top level site in search results page when doing search in subsites.
By default, the search scope is set to This Site in all sites, so the search scope in subsites is limited to the subsites.
I recommend to create a Search Center and then edit the Search settings in the top level site settings, please refer to the image below:
Thanks,
Victoria

Existing SharePoint 2010 Content Database Attach – No Site Collections

First, let me start off by saying that I have read every single thread I could find on this subject, such as:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/0c34ca6f-0db1-4d61-a48c-c4704dd86513/currentsitecount-is-zero-in-upgraded-site

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c8df1760-275a-43a4-b3fc-cf257c56d8e2/orphaned-entry-in-config-database
That said, even though my situation is a bit different than those posts, I have tried all the things!
Let me break it down:
Our prod server is a sad Frankenstein upgrade from Project/SharePoint 2003 to 2007 to 2010.
The problem is not on our prod server.
Our test server was a database attach installation. It mostly works.
The problem is, we have this old content database which housed the project sites that were created on 2003, then upgraded to 2007, then upgraded to 2010 – but when it attaches to the test server, it's empty. The "current number of site collections"
in CA shows 0 and the CurrentSiteCount in powershell = 0.
We have to keep these sites and their links for compliance reasons (7 year retention policy!) and we haven’t really cared that they aren’t working on the test server…except that we are going to be upgrading to 2013 this year, and that’s a database attach
no matter what. So I have to solve this now.
I’ve checked the following:
The data is there on the database.
The database name I’m typing is correct.
The version of the db is up to date.
The top level site is set to Exclusion.
Permissions.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
Attaching using powershell
Attaching using Central Admin
Detaching and reattaching
Running psconfig
Resetting IIS
When the database is unattached, I have tried the “Recover data from an unattached content database” function – it recognizes the database (if I type it in wrong, it tells me I don’t have access) but then finds nothing in the site collections.
The prod server is perfectly happy with these sites, and we copied the database from prod after the 2010 upgrade, so I don’t know what the issue is.
I appreciate any thoughts any of you have. I’m stumped!

I think it's safe to say that the 2010 upgrade didn't hit all our sites, based on the errors and this post:

I have created a sharepoint group with read permission on top level site and I added the NON AD users to that group but the non ad users are unable to access top level site ,they are able to access remaining all subsites without any issue.I am facing
this issue only with NON AD users....I have checked the page layouts , all the layouts are in published mode.All the webparts and Lists on Default.aspx page has all users access permissions.Do I need to change anything in central administration

Reduce Size or delete unwanted entries from tables AllDocStreams,AllDocVersions,EventCache,EventLog of Sharepoint 2010 content database

Size or delete unwanted entries from tables AllDocStreams,AllDocVersions,EventCache,EventLog of Sharepoint 2010 content database:
We using powershell scripts to migrate data between two sharepoint 2010 sites .
While doing migration we delete all document libraries & list form destination site and then run powershell to migrate data from source to destination. We following this process
twice in a week.
But in doing so we found the above mention tables (AllDocStreams,AllDocVersions,EventCache,EventLog ) of destination Sharepoint Content database are growing at an alarming rate.
Wish to know how could get rid of unwanted data stored in these tables.

Format Text tab is missing from Edit on Top Level Site home page

Hello,
Hoping for some help - not sure where to go with this.
I've been working on a SharePoint site for my company.
I need to change the top level site main page text layout to 3 columns.
I am pretty sure I was able to do this a few days ago but now when I edit the page the Format Text tab is not there.
I can get it on all my sub sites, just not the top level site.
I must have screwed this up somehow but I haven't a clue as to how to get it back.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
It sounds as though the site template for your root web is a team site or general collaboration site that is using content pages stored in the sitepages library. Is that correct? If you are using publishing features than you could set a custom layout in
the "pages" tab, but it sounds as though you do not have this feature.
A workaround could be to create a new page with 3 columns, copy your homepage content to this new page and finally set the new page as your homepage.

How to Restore a SharePoint 2010 Sitecollection from Prod to Pre-Prod?

How to Restore a SharePoint 2010 Sitecollection from Prod to Pre-Prod?
The patching levels are different from each environment.
Tools installation is same.
Note: Suggest me to restore a site from site template without content.
If you have any better approach please tell me.
Many Thanks,
Madhu

Hi Madhu,
It isn't possible (out of the box) to restore a production to a development site without the content.
If you're happy with restoring the content, it's quite easy to backup a SharePoint farm and then restore only a site (form the farm backup) to a development farm.
Have a look at these forum posts for more info (in the first link, I gave an example script):

A new top level site was created successfully but won't launch. What can be the cause for this?

A site collection was created with the URL intranet.contoso and it was added to the DNS as intranet.contoso. The top-level site was created successfully after that with the URL being
http://intranet.contoso/main but it is not launching and the following is the error message -
This page can't be displayed.
This will be a production environment so disabling the security loopback will not be an option. Any suggestions?
Many Thanks,

I can connect only to the SharePoint Central Administrator from the client computer but not the top level site.
The error i'm getting is This page can't be displayed.
Make sure the web address http://contonsoportalis correct
Look for the page with your search engine
Refresh in a few minutes
Fix connection problems - When clicked the following shows up "Make sure the computer or device is turned on and connected to the network" Windows can't find contosoportal. If the computer or device you are trying to reach is nearby,
make sure it is turned on and connected to the network. Otherwise contact your network administrator for assistance.
The DSN already had a host created for an intranet that is running SharePoint 2010 called intranet so I created a new host (A and AAA) named it Portal insert the ip address of the new sharepoint 2013 server but it still didn't work.
This is the configuration shown in the DNS
Host A Tab -
Host (uses parent domain if left blank)
Portal.contoso.local
IP address: 192. X.X.X for the SharePoint Server
( Should I create a CNAME instead of a new host for the portal? )
I added the host names in the register but it still does not work....
It's a virtual environment running on top of hyper V - One server for SharePoint another for SQL and both joined to the DC.

How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the active directory. How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list with all sharepoint user profiles

How to populate a sharepoint 2010 from the active directory.
I want a list of all the computers in the active directory,
another one with all users.
I want also to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the sharepoint user profiles.
Thanks
sz

While
the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources. Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
information that are already in the system? Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list.
Here’s our plan:
Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
Let’s get going! Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer. I also want to give credit Laura
Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step. I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
So obviously we need a contacts list. If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010. Let’s add our elements to the form.
Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon. This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above. With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon.
Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
We should end up with something like this:
Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL. Click Next.
Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName. Click Next.
Click Next on the next two screens.
On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
(Secondary) option. Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName. Click ok.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW. At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form). Expand this, then pc:Person,
and highlightAccountId. Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user. So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for. We take the AccountID field from the people
picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection.
Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
We’re closing in on our goal. Let’s see our progress. We should see something like this:
Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form. The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate. We need to add an action step for
each field. I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields. Let’s update the Job Title field.
Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Highlight the field Job Title.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option. Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field. Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
Data button, then Add.
For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group. The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
under PropertyData. Click Ok.
In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text. Then type the text Title.
Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane. The last previous screen will look like this.
We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory. You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc. For the other fields, the
steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change. Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
We’re all done, good work! You can preview the form and try it now. Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form. Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library. Click File –> Quick
Publish. Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
Now open your form in SharePoint. From the contact list, click Add new item. Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!

SharePoint 2010 Content database growing too fast

Hi,
I have a SharePoint 2010 Content database wss_content_DB which is 197 GB BUT when I calculate my site collection I can see they have used only about 70 GB. I know there is Auditdata table which is about 27 GB. Couple of days ago my content DB was about 105
GB and it Audit data log was set to unlimited once I noticed that I set to 90 days since then it jumped to 197 GB.
I have no idea what is going on.
Now I need to know
- why it is showing 197 GB in SQL server
- How can I trim audit log
- Why suddenly it's increased to 197 GB from 105 GB
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Abdul

There is a way to deal with this table. There is an stsadm command (stsadm -o trimauditlog) as part of the infastructure update that will allow you to manage this data.
#Powershell Script to trim old AuditData table records.
$currentDate = Get-Date
#Number of days we want to keep data in the table
$NumberOfDays = -90
$DateToDelete = $currentDate.AddDays($NumberOfDays)
$DateString = ‘{0:yyyyMMdd}’ -f $DateToDelete
$STSADMCMD = “stsadm -o trimauditlog -date $DateString -databasename WSS_ContentDB”
invoke-expression “$STSADMCMD”
WHY IT SUDDENLY INCREASED:
Do this query on your SQL Instance: DBCC SQLPERF(logspace)
This will show you how the size of LOGfiles (LDF) and how much is unused, if you have alot of unused space it indicates you dont have a recent DB backup - normally backup would write log data to MDF file .
Normally you will not shrink DBs, only if you have deleted alot of data and you are not going to use space again so only do a shrink if you REALLY needs to.

Unable to find top level site associated with project site

Hello!
SP and PS 2013. I faced the problem with one project and its site synchronization.
When user published this project at 1st time, the site wasn’t created (there were some errors), but user didn’t notice that. So, after few days when he couldn’t open
the site, he ask me for help.
I did my usual operations in such cases – I open “Connected sites” and create the site myself.
Earlier there was not any problem with that. But now this project experiences some troubles with permissions sync for
it’s site – there is no synchronization.
I connected this problem with November CU, which has been installed couple of weeks ago.
I have read about the same problems after upgrade, so I want to emphasize that site was created on the root site collection (Project Web App) and it is not a subsite
of another project site.
If there is no solution until next update, maybe there is some way to turn off permission synchronization only for this site?
Any help will be appriciated!!!
Kate

Hi Kate_S,
since you are already aware that its a known issue caused Sep 2014 CU i believe, and an official fix has yet to release.
but i would like to clarify here that this issue doesn't have anything to do with project site creation, because sync queue job while creating project site fails but does not block other queues activities. so your project site should be created in a normal
way.
and until official fix will arrive, 1 of the option is to change your project sites to provision under root site collection instead of PWA site collection. But be aware that this will fix sync issue only for new project sites.
Go to Central Administratio -> PWA settings -> open site provision settings menu and made changes.
2nd option is, since Project Owner always get access to Project site, to teach your project owners to include project team members manually to project site permission group to allow them to have access. this option can help you with both new and existing
project sites, and i personally prefer this and did the same for my affected customers.
Hope these 2 options will help you.

Hi,
By default CQWP shows only one column. However, if you want to show more than one column, then CQWP needs to be customized. The property which you are looking for is CommonViewFields. It is used to specify the additional fields that you want to display in
the Web Part. See this for more information:

How to Filter list/library view pages from Search Results?

Hi All,
Currently my search configuration is searching everything on a site collection. I have created custom scope for that.
But I would like to remove the search results for list/library views. The search should only show the documents, pages (but not list/library view pages).
Please guide me on this.
Appreciate your help.

Navigate to the site that contains the list or library that you want to change.
Locate and click the list or library you want to customize.
Click Site Actions, and then click Site Settings.
Under Site Administration, click Site Libraries and lists.
Click an item from the list, for example, Customize “Shared Documents.”
On the List Settings page, under General Settings, click
Advanced settings.
In the Search section, under Allow items from this document library to appear in search results, select
Yes to include all of the items in the list or library in search result or
No to exclude all items from search results.

UCM 11g File missing from search result although file is accessable

When I do search without any criteria in UCM 11g, some files missing from search result although I know the files were checked into UCM already since I'm able to see these files using url similar to:
http://ucm/cs/idcplg?idcService=GET_FILE&dID=12345
or use following url to get document information:
http://ucm/cs/idcplg?idcService=DOC_INFO&dID=12345
the file is not in the search resule even search by ID.
also, the seach result say "displaying 1-20" but only display few files (e.g. 2 files, less than 20)
Is this a known problem? the same search was working in UCM 10 perfectly.
Thanks

The query seems able to retrieve the missing document. for example, I search by content ID, in the audit log (eanbled as you mentioned) give th efollowing information:
fusionappsattachments/6 09.13 06:22:03.878 IdcServer-3474 --- @ResultSet SearchResults ---
fusionappsattachments/6 09.13 06:22:03.878 IdcServer-3474 numFields=66,*numRows=1*,currentRow=0
also, the infomation following above give the deteail field information which match with the missing document.
I looks like UCM just did not bring it to UI as part of search result.
This seems match with my another finding as I mentioned earlier: the seach result say "displaying 1-20" but only display few files (e.g. 2 files, less than 20)
it seems query did find the documents but UI did not show it.
Not sure if this is a known bug.

How to remove Forms/DispForm.aspx from search results

HI
I configured enterprise search in our share point public facing portal,
and when a user search for any content why the search results are displaying from below links and when user clicks it asking authentication.
/Pages/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=477
/PublishingImages/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=3
/SiteAssets/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=1
/Documents/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=1
and how to remove these from search results .
adil

To remove from search results...
Central Administration > Application Management > Manage service applications > Search Service Application > Crawl Rules
In the Path enter: *://*/DispForm.aspx* and for the Crawl Configuration check "Exclude all items in this path" and check "Exclude complex URLs (URLs that contain question marks - ?)"
You will then need to do a crawl of your content to remove any URLs that match this path.

Remove material from search results

Is anyone aware of a way to remove a material from search results? I have a large contingent of materials that are no longer valid for sale and the search results create a lot of clutter. I need to retain the records for historical sales transactions but since there is no stock and the materials are discontinued, they don't need to be displayed on search.

Hi Craig,
You can do this through customising: SPRO > Logistics - General > Material Master > Tools > Maintain Search Helps
There, give double clicl to the "Search Help" = MAT1_A.
Then, select the tab "Include search helps" and select the search where you want to add a field. i.e. MAT1V - Material by Supply Area.
Once you are there, check if you can add the field LVORM - DF at client level.
Then, save the data and in this search you can have the option to see all the materials deleted or not deleted.
By the way, Narla Rama Krishna Mohan has a document about "Material Master Search Help" and it can help you too.
This is the link:

Hope this help.
Kind regards,
