SharePoint 2013 : Migration of customization from development server to production server

Dear all,
I have the following scenario and servers:
1. Development Server; (Server where our developers would develop our dms and/or enhancement based on change request)
2. Test Server; (Test server where our users will test the system (dms) and/or enhancement requested)
3. Production Server (Our production server where only our end users will have access , developers wont have access to this env.)
My question is how to migrate our changes from development server to test server and finally to production server?
Is there a mechanism/ guide /best practice approach for this?
Any help/guide would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks & regards
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
Thanks for posting your issue, Moving stuff from environment to environment will depending on your stuff;
Content, like list items and documents, can't be easily moved. They can be moved with 3rd party solutions, or custom code. You can do it with a C# solution or even using PowerShell.
Stuff like lists, libraries, master pages, CSS, etc. should be packaged in a solution file, either sand box or farm solution. This solution file can contain all of the assets you require, and then it can be deployed into a new environment, which then provisions
all the stuff you need (it could also load up test/sample data if needed)
Another nice solution, if you're working with a brand new site, is to back it up and restore it into another environment. That helps get the bulk of the stuff copied over, and then you can use one of the above methods for continuing updates.
Also, check out below mentioned URL to move content from on environment to another environment

If this works, Please mark it as Answered.

Migrating Endeca Application and Data from development to a production server

We need to move an Endeca app (including data domain) to a production server from a development server
I installed EID 3.1 in the prod server successfully and this is what I did after the install:
1. Created a new application in Studio (name: JULY2014POC)
2. Manage Pages - Import the .lar file
3. Copy JULY2014POC.worddat file and JULY2014POC_indexes folder to new server, location: domains/endeca_server_domain/EndecaServer/data with all the servers down. Then restarted endeca server, ps server, and studio server.
4. When I try to create an Endeca Server connection it gives me error (Connection definition format is valid but unable to connect.)
5. This is my entry:
"contextPath": "/endeca-server",
"currentFunctions": [],
"dataDomainName": "JULY2014POC",
"name": "JULY2014POC",
"port": 7001,
"restrictedToRoles": ["Administrator"],
"server": "10.2.192.171"
6. When I run any endeca-cmd at OS level I get the following Warning (4 times):
$./endeca-cmd.sh list-dd-profiles
<Oct 29, 2014 4:51:33 PM EDT> <Warning> <oracle.wsm.resources.policyaccess> <WSM-06210> <An instance of the interface oracle.wsm.policymanager.IUsageTracker bean for the local repository at path "" was not available for configuring the oracle.wsm.policymanager.accessor.BeanAccessor repository accessor for context "ResourcePattern [pattern=DOMAIN/weblogic/endeca_server_domain, subjectType=MANAGED_DOMAIN, terms={PLATFORM=weblogic, SUBJECT_TYPE=MANAGED_DOMAIN, DOMAIN=endeca_server_domain}]".>
default
What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help me? thank you

Hi Sergio,
How the data import and export works is what you have to look into. Whenever you export your content it gets exported to a particular directory. If the same directory should be referenced by the code base as well which would be mentioned in the properties file for fetching the configurations.
If they are not aligned they won't pick it up. Also you will have to create pages like endeca-server and make it the default page in your properties file.
Hope u cross this hurdle soon.
Thanks

How to export tables from development server to production server

HI,
Any body plz let me know how to export tables from development server to production server. what are the user names and password i need to ask my manager to do that. what are the requirements i need to ask him.
Plz reply me ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

hi buddy
first of all you should let us know the environment of production and development servers
database versions
and you need to have userid which has privilege to export tables of other schema. userid(owner) of the tables you want to export.
Traditional way
export tables in development server and then ftp to production and then import
in the above case you should have similar database structure(tablespace etc) to avoid errors...
if there are few tables only , you can use dblink instead of export and import...

Transporting from DEV server to Production Server

Dear Experts,
Like in ABAP and other SAP modules we are having Transport Requests to transport from Dev server to Production server In XI how can we transport all the configuration done by me from Dev server to Production server.

Hi,
In XI we can transport in two ways :
1) File Transport
2) Using CMS which needs configuration to be done
Using the File Transport you can easily the Export the Objects and Import the Objects in the Target system.
Select the Object in the Design or Configuration ->right Click you will find Export option.
When you select the It creates the .tpz file which can be imported in the Target System
Using file transfer or CMS we transport xi objects.

Transferrring Objects from my Workstation to Production Server

Hi Guys,
I should really thank all you guys for the your help.
I need to know detail steps invloved in Transferrring the Objects from my Workstation to Production Server or testing server.
Thanks
Sid

Hi,
When u create a object and save it, it will ask for the package name to save, then assign one package and then it will ask for the request .
Create the new request. and this request can be released before transporting.
Go to se09 or se10 and then select ur request number and click the release button. then object will be released and is ready to transport to quality.
After that goto <b>STMS</b> and then transport it to qwuality server.
However it will be the work of the basis guy to transport to quality after u have released...
Hope it is needful..
Cheers,
Simha.

I have a problem while executing the package after migrating from DEVELOPMENT to PRODUCTION.

Can anyone help for this error.
Many thanx in Advance

Hi Babloo,
According to the error message, the package may have failed are as follows:
The user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent in PRODUCTION server differs from the original package author.
The user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or to access resources outside the SSIS package.
The package may not run in the following scenarios:
The current user cannot decrypt secrets from the package. This scenario can occur if the current account or the execution account differs from the original package author, and the package's ProtectionLevel property setting does not let the current user
decrypt secrets in the package. In this scenario, we can change the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, then modify the SQL Server Agent job step command line to include this password.
File access fails because the current user does not have the required permissions to write to the file share that the connection manager accesses. In this scenario, we can create a SQL Server Agent proxy account. This proxy account must use a credential
that lets SQL Server Agent run the job as the account that created the package or as an account that has the required permissions.

SSIS package does not run when called from a SQL Server Agent job step
Run an SSIS Package Under a Different Account

2.DMS uploading from Development server to Production server[GO LIVE]

Hi All
Is it all document type [dms] which r created in development server, these will transefer from development to production server by [uploading]transport request.
Or is It needs Basiss Help.
Rgds
Ben.

hi,
I think for moving customization request to production, u dont need help of basis, if u have authorization then u can transport the request.
Before moving first identify which are the request number u want to transport and release them using t code SE10 in development server.
Go to production server, execute STMS t code for importing the request from devp server.
Once ur request moved to production successfully then all customization will be available in production system except number ranges and class and characterstics.
If ur using classification system, then create class and characterstics in production system it self.

SharePoint 2013 - consuming service applications from a 2010 farm?

Hi all,
This question relates to both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013. Does anyone know whether it is possible/supported for a SharePoint 2013 farm to consume service applications from a 2010 farm (search/UPS etc. via SA publishing)?
There’s obviously plenty of documentation explaining how this would work the other way around (2010 farm consuming SA’s from a 2013 farm). Unfortunately, I haven’t found that much info on the scenario I’ve described above.
Many thanks
Matt

I don't know that it won't work, but in the article dealing with upgrades MS specifically recommends upgrading Services Farms first when upgrading mixed installs. So you should be able to share a 2013 service with a 2010 farm, but not the other way
around. You can read about it here:

Vignette to SharePoint 2013 migration

HI
We have a requirement to migrate an internal portal for one of our client from Vignette to SharePoint 2013. We are looking out for manual and automated process to migrate but most of the popular tools that we saw does not migrate to SharePoint 2013 for example
DocAve, Protenq etc. Also there is no document available that provides the details about the migration scope as to what components of Vignette will be migrated with the help of tool and what will not.
Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

The DocAve facility for checking the migration route seems to be the most popular one. Basic Information is viewable here
The elements that can be easily migrated can be seen here. This link also has white papers and guide that should hopefully answer some of your questions.
http://www.avepoint.com/vignette-sharepoint-migration-docave/
As a disclaimer, I've not used this tool and I don't have any affiliation with DocAve.
Hope that helps

DMS uploading from Development server to Production server[GO LIVE].

Hi, All,
I have configured DMS at client palce. Here they don't have quality server.
What we configured will be tested in development it self. So in the unit test there is no errors at all and
uploaded some documents in the development also.
So i want to know how i could tranfer request and full DMS configuration to production server[Go Live].
1.Wheather I could need Basiss Help.
2.What are all precautions i could take before and after 'go live'
3.What are all requirement needs to 'go live'.
plz give procedure i details
Rgds
Ben

hi,
there no mandatory of quality server to test , if ur confident, u can directly transport to production
For request transporattion its better to have basis person, if u know the procedure, u can also import from production server.
Before that release all transport request in devp server.
After transporting to prod server check wheather all customising setting imported or not, wherever necessary u create master data in production system it self(Class and characterstics, and number ranges).
For going live u need to create all roles and autorization and need to assign to respective user ids.
