SharePoint 2013 SQL

I am running on Windows 2012 R2 vmware virtual environment.
I am deploying SharePoint 2013 Server and want to use the SQL 2012 Server that was already pre installed separately.
1. Do I have to create the database name on the SQL 2012 Server or will SharePoint 201

In order to use SQL Server 2012, you'll want to apply SP1 prior to that. The database will be created on the SQL Server instance (so your SQL 2012 VM).

SharePoint 2013 SQL Server Edition for BI Features - must be on SharePoint SQL Server?

I need to install SQL Server 2012 for a new SharePoint 2013 installation.
Let's say I want to use the BI features of SharePoint 2013 like PowerView.
I already have a separate SQL Server running SQL Server 2012 BI Edition that is used as the database server for our data warehouse and some apps. But this SQL Server will not be used to house the SharePoint 2013 databases.
Do I need to install SQL Server 2013 BI Edition on the SharePoint 2013 SQL Server (where the SharePoint 2013 databases will be housed) or can I used SQL Server 2013 Standard Edition on that server and utilize the BI Edition on the data warehouse server to
use the BI features of SharePoint?

Yes, BI or Enterprise must be installed on the SharePoint server in order to integrate SSRS. PowerPivot can be on a separate server with just a download (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35577) for certain components residing on
the SharePoint server. This will give you PowerView, as well.

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server BCS Model Incremental Crawl content doesnt show up in Search results

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server BCS Model Incremental Crawl content doesn't show up in Search results, Incremental crawl is working fine, i.e., its picking up newly added records in table to the Search, but the newly added content is not available in search
results page.
But when i do a Full Crawl, search results are showing up with appropriate content.
What could be the issue here?
Suresh Kumar Udatha.

This time on the Full crawl I got only 62 warnings and 12 errors and ~537.000 success. Warnings were about truncating the crawl documents because their content length exceed the configured for crawl. The 12 errors were "Processing this item failed because
of a timeout when parsing its contents." and "The content processing pipeline failed to process the item.". I think 12 errors is not much to re-execute full crawl. Site collection has one SP Site Group (with Read Permission Level). In this site group I have
only one AD Group added, so permission change is not a possible reason for re-crawl, plus nobody changed anything in this ad group. All documents are stored in 2 document libraries and there are no sub-sites. I want to access these documents trough search
(custom managed property restriction kql) but this way I have no mechanism to fast re-crawl only error documents from the first full-crawl (those 12). This is very strange and put SP 2013 Search almost unusable for my scenario.

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Reporting Services Add-In

Hi,
In our old SharePoint 2010 environment the "SQL 2008 R2 Reporting Services ShrerPoint 2010 Add-in" has been installed which in turns provides the "SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer" web part.
I have upgraded the Farm to SharePoint 2013 and SQL 2012. Where I can get the the add-in above that is compatible with
SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013?
I have found an add-in here for SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2010, but not sure this is compatible with SharePoint 2013...
Many Thanks,

I have SQL 2008 reporting Services SharePoint 2010 Add-in.
for SharePoint 2013 we are using the SQL server 2008 Sp1. I think it is not possible to use SQL server 2012 SP1 for the report Services in SharePoint 2013.
Please suggest me to use the report services in SharePoint 2013 with Sql server 2008 SP1.

SharePoint 2013 + SQL Server 2008 vs 2012

I am trying to determine the best course of action when building a new SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Farm. Should we use SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2012? I have found some information online, but I wanted to know if there were more pros and cons to SQL
2012 over 2008. Can anyone tell me if my short list is adequate enough? Also, are there any integration concerns with other applications that I may need to look out for by using SQL 2012 that don't exist in SQL 2008?
The list of benefits of SQL 2012 over SQL 2008 I know of include:
AlwaysOn
Read-Only Secondary
Contained Database
ColumnStore Indexes
Shredded Storage
PowerPivot BI
Reporting Services BI
Are there any negatives to using SQL 2012?
Thanks,
Alex

Alex,
The only negatives I have seen are
1. You must be careful that the AOAG configuration is supported. For many cases like the config DB, Async mode is not supported for DR.
2. Microsoft has not published their support stance for Many DBs yet.
So for example for "App Management Service Application" DB or "Secure Store" DB Microsoft says
To be determined. Currently not supported because testing is not finished.
For a complete list look here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj841106.aspx
So although AOAG is a great option technically (and perhaps in the long run the strategic option) I would like Microsoft to complete their testing. (unless one is ready to take risk and go where MS itself hasn't gone)

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server 2012 PPIV - using a PPIV workbook as a data source - getting PPIV web service error

I created a PowerPivot (SQL Server 2012 SP1) workbook and uploaded it to SharePoint 2010 Portal and started using it as a data source in an excel file. This worked fine and we saw no issues with it until we moved to SharePoint 2013 environment.
I uploaded the same PowerPivot workbook (source workbook) to SharePoint 2013 Portal and now trying to use it as a data source. I tried to change connection properties so that I could use the new portal address for the workbook. When
I try to save my changes, I see that OLAP queries are getting fired "Refreshing OLAP cube" shows up in the status bar, but eventually after running these OLAP queries (I would say after a minute), I get the following error -
Couldn't find anything specific in SharePoint logs or maybe I wasn't looking for the right thing.
Has anyone seen this issue? Why would PPIV service throw an error after running for a while? Is it a timeout issue of some kind? How can we take care of this?
Thanks,
Sonal

ULS log showed the following exception: The maximum number of allowed sessions per user has been exceeded.
Under Excel Services global settings, max limit is set. Default is 25, increasing it resolved this issue.
Thanks,
Sonal

Benefit of SharePoint 2013 sql server membership provider

Hi All, Please share your thoughts for this..
We are working with SharePoint 2013 public facing website with Form based authentication. Anyone can register and start using our site. We are storing
all the user related data in Active directory. As of now we are having around 25000 users in our portal . We are planning to move all external user information from AD to SQL membership table. Could you please suggest me to benefit of using SQL membership
instead AD

performance-wise, they're pretty similar either way (given a single dedicated role server).
security-wise, compared to SQL, AD makes some data easier to access (since LDAP queries can expose data to any user), but harder to hack (obtain copy of hashed passwords)
As far as management, there is NO management interface for the SQL membership provider... including USERS (reset password, lock/unlock account, etc), not just groups.
As far as SSO technology, SqlMembershipProvider is absolutely NOT an SSO technology. Not to say that it can't be used for logins, but authentication and single sign-on are two very different goals.
I would also argue that since you can't decrypt the AD passwords, the move to SQL is going to be a little difficult for users.
And, have you considered adding another AD server instead? With a little bit of fiddling around, you can add a dedicated AD server and prioritize SP authentication requests where you want.

SharePoint 2013 & SQL Server Reporting Services

Hi there,
We are developing a web application in sharepoint 2013 in which we are using authentication mode="Windows”. We have used a custom web part containing report viewer control for showing charts and reports, that we have
developed using SSRS ( *.rdl files) and have all the .rdl files within Sharepoint Document Library.
To start with, we were getting the error “Report Server has encountered a SharePoint error. (rsSharePointError) The user does not exist or is not unique.” To fix this, we changed <identity impersonate="false"
/> from <identity impersonate="true" /> at web.config level which did the trick.
However, we are now facing another issue wherein tabular reports are renedered ok in SharePoint through report viewer custom web part but chart based reports are not rendered. The chart image is not displayed.
Can somebody please help with a resolution?
The code snippet for rendering the report is given below for reference purposes
Thanks in advance

SharePoint 2013, SQL Server 2012 SP1 Enable RBS for Additional Content Databases

We Enabled RBS in our SharePoint 2013 Environment recently. The time when we Configuring we had only one Content Database and we successfully configured. now we created more web applications and we need to enable RBS for newly created Content Databases.
we searched and tried lots of approaches, but we cudn't manage to achieve this. can anyone help us to enable RBS on additional Content Databases. (No offense but direct instructions would be great rather than providing links).
Thank you!

Here is step by step instruction with screenshot
http://thesharepointfarm.com/2011/03/enabling-rbs-on-multiple-content-databases/
Try to run
run this command on the SharePoint server: msiexec /qn /i rbs.msi REMOTEBLOBENABLE=1 FILESTREAMPROVIDERENABLE=1 DBNAME=”WSS_Second” FILESTREAMSTORENAME=FilestreamProvider_1 ADDLOCAL=EnableRBS,FilestreamRunScript DBINSTANCE=”DBServer”
Thank you so much for the reply Indrajeet. we followed the instruction to the letter but when we try the command, it failed. while doing some search, we came across an interesting Article.

SharePoint 2013 SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer (Web Part) - IE Tab Title

Hi,
We are using a wiki Library to create page with SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer Web Part.
Everything is working great except for the Internet Explorer tab, instead of giving me the name of the Report it is showing the name of the web application. All the other wiki pages is working fine.
Regards,
Social Technet Microsoft.

Hi Brysk,
Is there any difference between the problemaitc page containing the webpart and other working wiki pages for showing the title name in IE tab?
The IE tab should show the information in tag<title> of the page, please check if it is correct for that page (using F12).
Also check if it is related to IE browser compatibility issue.

SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and SQL Server 2012 Standard edition vs. Enterprise - feature question

I can't seem to find any clear answers to the implications of installing SQL Server 2012 standard edition vs. enterprise in regards to SharePoint 2013.
I understand that to get many of the features you need Enterprise edition of SQL 2012; but, what I can't figure out is if the backend SharePoint SQL 2012 is standard; but, the PowerPivot/SSRS server is Enterprise will we still get the features?
If we have 3 tier SharePoint farm, one of those tiers is for the SQL Server database backend. If that SQL instance is 2012 standard and we add another server to the farm w/ SQL 2012 Enterprise to handle the tabular models, PowerPivot, and SSRS in integrated
mode will we still get the features?
Or, can we (should we) install Enterprise 2012 as the SharePoint database backend and let that instance triple down as also the PowerPivot and SSRS instance?
The Degenerate Dimension

Hi MMilligan,
SQL Server 2012 Standard is not supported PowePivot for SharePoint . In addition, SQL Server 2012 Standard is also not support some Reporting Services Features.

SQL Server CLR SharePoint Interface for Sharepoint 2013

Hello everybody.
Is the project
http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/SqlClrSharePoint
actual to use with Sharepoint 2013 + SQL Server 2012 SP1?
Sergey Vdovin

Have you read the readme that's included within the archive? I'll quote it below for ease of reference: -
Considering it's for SharePoint and SQL instances that are several versions below what's widely used or supported now, I'd be surprised if this worked. The db schema changes alone might make this tricky to get working.
sp_configure 'clr enabled',1
reconfigure
a) Create your target database if it doesn't exist.
b) Mark the database as TRUSTWORTHY, to allow you to run EXTERNAL_ACCESS CLR code.
alter database MyDB set trustworthy on
c) Make sure your database is owned by a sysadmin or the database owner has the EXTERNAL
ACCESS ASSEMBLY privilege.
2) Build the assembly SqlClrSharePointInterface.dll using VisualStudio (or MsBuild)
3) Pre-Generate the XML Serialization Assembly
XML Serializer Generator Tool (Sgen.exe)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bk3w6240(vs.80).aspx
eg:
sgen /a:c:\mycode\SqlClrSharePointInterface\bin\release\SqlClrSharePointInterface.dll /f
4) Install the Assemblies in SQL Server
a)Copy the XML Serialization assembly and SqlClrSharePointInterface.dll somewhere where your SQL Server
can read the files.
b) run CREATE ASSEMBLY on SqlClrSharePointInterface.dll, marking it as EXTERNAL_ACCESS
CREATE ASSEMBLY [SqlClrSharePointInterface]
FROM 'c:\deploy\SqlClrSharePointInterface.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS
c) run CREATE ASSEMBLY on the XML Serialization assembly
CREATE ASSEMBLY [SqlClrSharePointInterfaceXML]
FROM 'c:\deploy\SqlClrSharePointInterface.XmlSerializers.dll'
5) Register the functions by running CREATE FUNCTION on each UDF.
Something like:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[GetListCollection](@siteUrl [nvarchar](4000))
RETURNS TABLE (
[Title] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
[Description] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
[Name] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[ItemCount] [int] NULL
) WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
EXTERNAL NAME [SqlClrSharePointInterface].[ListFunctions].[GetListCollection]
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[GetListItemsTable](@siteUrl [nvarchar](4000), @listName [nvarchar](4000), @viewName [nvarchar](4000))
RETURNS TABLE (
[ID] [int] NULL,
[ModifiedBy] [nvarchar](200) NULL,
[Title] [nvarchar](200) NULL,
[ContentType] [nvarchar](100) NULL,
[Created] [datetime] NULL,
[Modified] [datetime] NULL,
[EncodedAbsUrl] [nvarchar](400) NULL
) WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
EXTERNAL NAME [SqlClrSharePointInterface].[ListFunctions].[GetListItemsTable]
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[GetListItems](@siteUrl [nvarchar](4000), @listName [nvarchar](4000), @viewName [nvarchar](4000))
RETURNS [xml] WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
EXTERNAL NAME [SqlClrSharePointInterface].[ListFunctions].[GetListItems]
GO
Then query SharePoint. Something like
select * form dbo.GetListCollection('http://MySharePointSite');
To get the list of SharePoint Lists available. Then retrieve the items for one of the lists.
the GetListItems function returns a single XML document containing all of the items. So to
make use of the data, you would typically use an XML-shreading query like this:
with ListItems as
select dbo.GetListItems('http://MySharePointSite','Site Collection Documents',null) AllListItems
select
Item.value('@ows_Title', 'varchar(50)') Title,
Item.value('@ows_EncodedAbsUrl','varchar(max)') Url
,Item.query('.') Item
from ListItems cross apply ListItems.AllListItems.nodes('/*/*') Items(Item)
There is also an example of a higher-performance solution that shreads the XML in CLR code
and returns a relational result to SQL Server. But you will need to customize the coding
to return the fields that are relevent in your list.
Select * from dbo.GetListItemsTable('http://MySharePointSite','Site Collection Documents',null)

I created a simple Excel 2013 PPIV workbook with an oracle data source and uploaded that to SharePoint 2013, but no change in the results - still getting the above error.
What is this error? We have installed Oracle client (64-bit, since we use 64-bit Excel and Sp is also 64-bit) on SSAS PPIV Server and SharePoint Content DB Server. Do we need
to install it anywhere else?
Thanks,
Sonal

Hi Sonal,
To use PowerPivot for SharePoint on SharePoint 2013, it is required to install PowerPivot for SharePoint with the Slipstream version of SQL Server 2012 SP1. If you install SQL Server 2012 and then use the upgrade version of SQL Server 2012 SP1 to upgrade,
the environment will not support SharePoint 2013.
I would suggest you refer to the following articles:

Service application pool recycling in SharePoint 2013

When to recycle service application pool in SharePoint 2013? is it necessary to do so?.
When I look at worker process section in inetmanager i see 25 GB is for reporting service application pool as used memory and for excel services application pool it is 11 GB
what does it mean? it is consuming this much amount of RAM? if so how we need to plan...do i need to recycle once in day? currently we are seeing slow performance. is it because of this? Please help.
