Sharepoint 2013 Content DB increases after migration

Hi,
We are migrating the Sharepoint 2010 site to Sharepoint 2013, we are using Windows server 2012, SQL server 2012 in a seperate DB server. When we copy the DB from SP 2010 its size was 100 GB, after the migration the Size of the DB increases twice and
now the DB size is 300 GB.
I don knw what happened. What might be the reason for the size increase and the site is not used by any users till now.
Any help is much appreciated.

That would make sense if you were moving from RBS to non RBS or in a 2007 to 2010 migration. 2010 to 2013 is less expected to cause this as the 2010 schema shouldn't change in that respect.
A Shrink DB might do the job (note: it'll shrink then expand back a bit when it starts getting used), there's a less invasive proces below.

Multiple "Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013)" content type found

Users on one specific sub-site reported that they are unable to add site columns to content type. When user clicks "add existing site column" user get error message - upon looking up on ULS, it indicate there were duplicate column "System.ArgumentException:
No two choices should have the same ID". I came across similar issue on different site before and resolved it by deleting duplicate column, plus that site column was not used on any list or associated with any content type but this time duplicate
column is "Task outcome" column which is associated with "Workflow Task(SharePoint2013)" content type. So looking up these two specific site column and content type I noticed there are 8 occurrence of each at affected site
level (see below on image).
Similarly there are 8 "Task Outcome" columns under Site Columns. So I refreshed staging env with prod copy and tried to delete "Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013" content type and got error message as shown below. Under Site features, I noticed
"SharePoint 2013 Task List" feature was enabled, hoping this will do the trick I disabled it as we still use SharePoint 2010 workflows, but to no avail.
Sorry, something went wrong
The content type "Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013)" is part of an application feature.
Not sure how it got started and something will try to find out but any advise on how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
MK Sin

Hi Sin,
According to your description, my understanding is that the users got an error when clicking “add existing site column”.
For deleting the duplicate “Task outcome”column, you need to go to the “Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013)” content type, click the “Task outcome” column, and remove it from the content type.
Then go to site columns, find the duplicate columns, and delete them and make sure only one “Task outcome” column exists.
After the above, re-add the “Task outcome” into the “Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013)” content type.

Issue in Custom Blog site definition based on SharePoint 2010 blog site definition after migrating the sites to SharePoint 2013 and site collection upgrade

I have created a custom blog site definition using SharePoint 2010 blog site definition with Configuration ID 31 in onet.xml (new value). This was working fine for SharePoint 2010.
We created new SharePoint 2013 farm and deployed the all Custom solutions in
14/15 folders. After migrating the sites to SharePoint 2013 using Content DB approach, site created previously using my custom definition are working fine.
But after running site collection upgrade these sites stop working. When I post a comment then comments not getting listed on post detail page. However comments are getting added to Comments List but
PostTitle column of Comment is not getting populated.
Also, when we create a new site in SharePoint 2013 using my custom blog template then that is also not getting provisioned. default.aspx and look-up between post and comment list are not working.
If any one has faced such issue then please share your findings and any solution to fix this.
Thanks in Advance :)

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the blog based on custom blog site definition didn’t work correctly after migrating custom blog site definition to SharePoint 2013.
If you customized the Onet.xml file in a previous version's site definition, you should modify some sections in the file to work in the current version, like <BaseTypes> and <ListTemplate> etc. More information, please refer
to the link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa543837(v=office.14).aspx
For that the PostTitle column of Comment is not getting populated, please try to modify the view, then compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Extracting documents from Sharepoint 2013 Content Database

harepoint 2013 stores documents in the WSS_Content database in a table called DocStreams.
Up until Sharepoint 2010, files where stored in a single row in a VarBinary column. Since Sharepoint 2013, files are stored in multiple rows using Shredded Blob storage.
Does anyone know how I can piece together the files from the shredded storage in c#?
I have found many exampled online to extract files from SharePoint 2010 and earlier but they only support a files content being stored in 1 row.

Just wondering, can't you attach the database in a new site and access documents? As I know, in SharePoint 2013 they have changed architecture to manage versioning. In pre-SharePoint 2013 every individual versions was a duplicate copy of the document
- which would increase db size and would make it difficult to move documents in the cloud. So in SharePoint 2013 they use delta concept - where if you edit a document which creates a new version, the version is the delta (changes) to previous version.

Sharepoint 2013 Content query webpart translation "BUG"

I want to use a CQWP form my SharePoint(online) site in order to show all links in the link webparts. The site is in the Dutch language. What I want to do is described here:
http://www.its-on-the-internet-so-it-must-be-true.com/2013/01/sharepoint-link-list-content-query.html So in the properties of the webpart I want to do this:
In Dutch this looks like this (image 2 in my comment):
Link; URL [Basiskolommen];
Title: Comments;
The field "Comments" is ok, this is a part of the URL when I go to the properties of that field "89%7D&Field=Comments"
When I press apply in the properties the result is fine. The webpart return the link to a external site where the description of the link is the "Comments" field (in this example "SharePoint blog") (image 3):
However, after that, when I press save (page). This is changes: Now I see the complete URL and not the description anymore (image 4)
When I check the properties of the webpart I see that the field "Comments" is translated.
Now is says "Opmerkingen". I do not have any clue how to avoid this translation.
Any suggestions?
thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
According to your description, there is an unexpected issue occur when using a Content Query Web Part to query the Link list in your online environment.
This is what I have done in my environment: in a Dutch site, create a Link list, add a column “Comments” into it. Then insert a Content Query Web Part into a page,
set the “Presentation” as “Title: Comments;”, apply and save the page.
It turns out that the “Title: Comments;” stay the same without being translated.
In the web part properties panel:
I would suggest you create another page and Link list and make the test again to see if it is an issue of the page in use.
Feel free to reply if there any progress.
Thanks

SSRS 2012 report integrated with SharePoint 2013 issue :Report refreshing after some idle time

we have SSRS 2012 report integrated with SharePoint 2013 , when we click on any toggle item after some idle time of 60 secs and try again to expand
another toggle item then complete report is getting refreshed and if we are in child report it is redirecting to parent report. . we didn’t set any refreshing property at report level. I hope there will be some idle time setting at sharepoint site
level.
what we observed.
1. there is no problem when we expand toggle items without any idle time.
2. when we open the report and expand few toggles and keep idle for 60 seconds and try
again to expand another toggle item then complete report is getting refreshed (all toggle items are collapsing).
3. If you keep idle for 60 minutes and if you didn’t do any action like expanding toggle
items it is not refreshing.
why it is happening and how to stop that complete refresh.
Surendra Thota

Hi Surendra,
I have tested on my local environment and the issue can be caused by the session time out ,the time out of the report precessing, database timeout,DataSet query execution timeout and so on.
I would like to confirm that the refresh you have mentioned is the page refresh or the report reloading?
Please reference to the setting below to don't limit the timeout values if you got the report reloading:
Point to a report in the library.
Click the down arrow, and select Manage processing options.
In Processing Time-out, select Do not time out report processing or
Limit report processing in seconds if you want to override that value with no time-out or different time-out values.
If you got the session timeout that refresh the page, please reference to the setting in below article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492284.aspx#bkmk_session_settings_section
Details information in the article below about the timeout setting for your reference:
Set Processing Options (Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated Mode)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

How to Enforce Sharepoint 2013 content type validation rules when modifying document using Word 2013

Good day,
I have two date columns (Start Date and End Date) in a content type in Sharepoint 2013. A file library uses this content type.
In the document template I have the two dates (Start Date and End Date) showing in the Document Panel. I can edit them well enough and they show in the document correctly.
In the content type I have validation rules that the End Date must be greater than the Start Date.
The question is, how can I enforce this validation on the client side in Word. Is there anyway to achieve this?
The user will not have access to change the document properties in Sharepoint. (Not my call)
Thank-you!

The "panel" is called the Document Information Panel in SharePoint. You can customize this using InfoPath from the page where you created / edited your Content Type. Go to Settings, Site Settings Content Types, edit your content type, click Document
Information Panel and then click "Edit this template". In InfoPath you can create a Rule to enforce your dates.
This may require the Enterprise Edition of SharePoint to support the InfoPath Forms Services.

Word Document size is increased after migration?

Hello
We migrated from Sp2003 to Sp2010 and noticed that all item documents in each document library, file size is increased.
I compared the couple of documents, everything is same.
Is it by default depending on framework or what is logic behind this.
Can any one please explain on this?
Avi

I did experience this after a migration, and attributed it to differences in versions of sql server that were being used. Random checking resulted in identical results, just like you. After using it for many months, we got no end user complaints about it.
Needless to say, having documents of different sizes after a migration can be very discomforting for just about all involved parties.
In my case, there was a difference, when migrating via a 3rd party tool there
were file size differences, when migrating via standard MS tooling (by exporting individual site collections, but also by attaching content db's), we experienced
no differences.

Explain plan cost it increases after migrating Oracle 9.2.0 to 10.2.0.3

Hi:
Recently the migration was made, we are testing (I'm developer) the performance in some querys, but the majority is but slow,I do not understand the reason because the new equipment has processing capacity much more.

Another example: the next explain plan, it's the same query and the same parameters . In oracle 9i COST=799 In Oracle 10G COST=2337

(sorry by my bad english)

"Cost", as determined by the CBO, is a relative number, not an absolute number. A "cost" of 799 in 9i is not the same as a "cost" of 799 in 10g.
The CBO is 10g is substantially different as compared to 9i. Performance issues encountered after the upgrade are not uncommon. Pl refer to these MOS Doc to help troubleshoot your issue -
754931.1 - Cost Based Optimizer - Common Misconceptions and Issues - 10g and Above
466181.1 - 10g Upgrade Companion
I would also recommend you upgrade to 10.2.0.4, as it is the latest and most stable version of 10g.

Sharepoint 2013 Content Deployment Issue

I configured content Deployment from source farm to destination. The content is migarated from source to destionation and updates are went well. But when i update the attachement in Source, it is not getting updated in destination. I can find the below message
from import log
[2/18/2015 3:49:03 PM] [ListItem] [1_.000] Warning: Cannot add attachments because: The specified name is already in use.
The document or folder name was not changed. To change the name to a different value, close this dialog and edit the properties of the document or folder.
Please suggest me

Hello,
Looking at the last error message:
"The remote upload Web request failed"
there are a couple of possible reasons for this.
1. No space available on the destination web server
There needs to be enough disk space for the content to be uploaded to on the destination server. This is done in two stages - the first stage zips and copies the content to the destination server, and the second stage extracts the zip files and adds the
content to the destination server. You need enough space on the destination server to store the zip files and the extracted content.
2. Permissions on the destination server
The content deployment job needs to use a security account that has permission to the destination server farm to perform the deployment task.
3. Firewall/network settings
The destination server needs to be accessible by the source server.

Gavin McKay
