SharePoint 2013 Upgrade Issue

We are running a small farm with one app server and wfe server and sql server and in the process of upgrading SharePoint servers from RTM version 15.0.4420.1017 to SP1. However, app server shows the status of "upgrade required" in Servers in
Farm in CA. When I run stsadm.exe -o localupgradestatus, the output results on app server are:
38] content database(s) encountered.
[0] content database(s) still need upgrade or cannot be upgraded.
[56] site collection(s) are contained in the content databases.
[0] site collection(s) still need upgrade.
[49] other objects encountered, [1] of them still need upgrade or cannot be upgraded.
Also, logs on app server after running psconfig are
PSCONFIG.EXE -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures

Hi Sharma,
According to your description, my understanding is that the app server shows "upgrade required" when you upgrade your SharePoint 2013 from RTM to SP1.
Whether you upgrade your SharePoint on app server from RTM to SP1.
If not, please install SP1 for your SharePoint on the app server.
After installing SP1, you need to run SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard.

SharePoint 2013 Upgraded Sites from 2010 Missing Title on Home Page

Hi All,
I have upgraded site collection from 2010 to 2013 but I can't see site tiles on site Home page. We are using our template to create default web part page. I can see titles when I do Site Actions->Site settings->Look and Feel->Title but
not on default page of site.
Need help to solve the issue. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The following steps for your reference:
1.Open the problem site in SharePoint Designer 2013 (SPD)
2.Choose All Files option on the left hand quick launch
3.Click on default.aspx
4.On the Home tab, switch to Advanced Mode.
5.Search for "PlaceHolderPageImage" … it’s near the top
6.Paste the following on the next line (or after the closing </asp:Content> tag)
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea" runat="server">

Sharepoint 2013 Upgrade Job failed.

Hello everybody,
I would like some help with a litle problem that occured after I installed November CU on all of Sharepoint 2013 servers, 1 app, and 2 WFE. I'm unable to get Timer Job Service working on my app server, and that is a big problem. Everytime I restart Timer

And after that it all fails and Timer Jobs ain't working on App server, on WFE servers eveyrthing is allright and working as it needs to be.
I searched a lot of forums and different, but none of offered solutions ain't working, and that is not good.
PS. On development server eveything worked fine, looked through log files and this job run without any errors - Dev server is one in all installation, though.
If there is somebody who can help me with this, I would appreciate your help.
TY!

TY for your response,
I used the script to update timer job config, but that isnt helping, and, also, this isnt a timer job that is already in timer job definitions. Its the one, that's created and after execution gets deleted, because its grayed out in timer job history page
and I cant access it. if you look closer at log files I have pasted, you will see that the timer job that is created gets deleted almost immediatily and isnt executed and after that all timer jobs on my App server aint working and this happens every time after
I restart Timer Service on App server, event ID is 6398, but timer job config cache isnt the problem.
And, as much as I cant tell from logs - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. - I recieve this error because there is no timer job with ID, that is shown in error, because of this:
Deleting the SPPersistedObject, SPUpgradeJobDefinition Name=job-upgrade.
Maybe this information cansomehow help:
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPUpgradeJobDefinition (ID 910fbcdc-2691-490e-a9e9-563ae767612e) threw an exception. More information is included below. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
After previous error:
Exception stack trace: at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPUpgradeJobDefinition.Execute(Guid targetInstanceId) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdministrationServiceJobDefinition.ExecuteAdminJob(Guid targetInstanceId)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerJobInvokeInternal.Invoke(SPJobDefinition jd, Guid targetInstanceId, Boolean isTimerService, Int32& result)
And after that Upgrade timer job gets deleted and thats it, App server aint working like it nedds to and no Timer job are executed.
I hope this can help to narrow this problem down to a specific component or help resolve this error.

SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 Upgrade - Need to Goto SharePoint 2010 First?

All,
I've seen some posts that say one can go from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 - without upgrading to SharePoint 2010. Other posts say otherwise.
Therefore, what is indeed the answer. Ideally I'm looking to stand-up a new SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2013 farm then likely do a detach then upgrade of the SharePoint 2007 content databases to SharePoint 2010 or 2013.
Thanks

If you want to do a standard SharePoint upgrade, yes you must go to SharePoint 2010 prior to 2013. If you want to use a 3rd part/in-house custom application content migration upgrade, then you can go straight from SharePoint 20xx to 2013.

SharePoint 2013 visual upgrade: Behind the Scene

Hello,
I recently migrated site collection from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. But is not visually upgraded yet. I wanted to create evaluation site collection before actual upgrading. My questions are:
1) Will it create a new Web application?
2) Will it extend a the existing web application?
3) will it create only a new site collection? If yes, will the size of content database become double?
I am worried about the size of content database, as my DB is almost 50 GB and haven't much space left.
any help would be really appreciated.

Hi Rizwan,
Evaluation Site Collections is a new feature in the SharePoint 2013 upgrade story. Evaluation Site Collections lend site collection administrators the ability to try out the 2013 version of their site collection before actually upgrading the production site
collection’s UI and content.
An upgrade evaluation site collection creates an upgraded version of the site in a new, separate copy of the site that is running on SharePoint 2013. Unlike visual upgrade in SharePoint Server 2010, the upgrade evaluation site collection is a complete copy
of the site collection, separate from the original. Actions taken in the upgrade evaluation do not affect the original site.
Evaluation site collections have a default expiration period of 30 days. And the evaluation site collection will also automatically be deleted when its parent production site collection is upgraded.
More information, please refer to the links:

Installing SharePoint 2013 in a Windows 2012 R2 Server I was getting the following error

when I install prerequisiteinstaller.exe in sharepoint 2013, got the below error:
Error: The tool was unable to install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role.
Any expert please help?

Hi,
From your description, I know you get error when you install SharePoint 2013 in Windows Server 2012 R2.
If you have tried all method above. In your case, you have installed the Web Server(IIS), but the
Web Server (IIS) role installation may fail. You could try run commande: aspnet_regii -enable –i.
Here are similar issues:

http://itrob.be/sharepoint-2013-installation-issue-the-tool-was-unable-to-install-application-server-role-web-server-iis-role/
As SharePoint 2013 does not support Windows 2012 R2 Server very well what you can find from this blog:

Sharepoint 2013 Publish ContentHub Error Metadata web service application proxy Metadata Service Application Proxy.

I'm trying to republish the content hub but getting mms errors. I checked the coorlation id but make no sense of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to republish the content hub.
I recommend to execute the following PowerShell command to add all permissions needed:
Initialize-SPResourceSecurity
In addition, you can create a new managed metadata service application and also a new application pool account to check whether it works.

Adding a app from app store in SharePoint 2013

I have configured an app domain and i can add apps from app store to my SharePoint 2013 site,issue is that app is not loading on my site and showing blank space instead .I tried to open app url but its showing blank without prompting any error
in IE ,what can be the issue?
Update:In firefox its showing an error "no element found" for the app url.How do I verify if the app is added correctly?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the store app cannot be displayed in the site.
I recommend to make sure you have the permission to use the app.
You can also add the other apps to check whether it works.
In addition, please create a new web application without Host Headers.

"an error occurred with data fetch. Please refresh the page and retry" when open sharepoint 2013 setting cog on IE

My SharePoint 2013 has issue opening the top left cog: On amy page, every time when I was trying to click the setting cog and my name, an alert box will pop out
(System does not allow me to insert images, so screenshot is here:)
http://www.sfu.ca/~siyuanz/2.PNG
And also, under some subsite, my ribbon is gray off (and I am sure this is not a permission issue)
Screenshot: http://www.sfu.ca/~siyuanz/1.PNG
I tried to fix them by change the "Compatibility View Settings" but it doesn't help
These issues only happen to my IE (chrome, fire fox work well)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had issue opening the top left cog.
I suggest you to check whether you restrict the site in your browser. Please follow the steps:
Open the site in the browner, click tool->Compatibility View Setting->Add the site to be displayed in Compatibility View.
Click Tool->Internet Options->Security->Trusted Sites.
Click Tool->Internet Options->Security->Restricted sites->Allowed level for this zone: Medium.
Click Tool->Internet Options->Security-> Custom Level -> Cookies->OK.

Issues with SharePoint 2013 after upgrading from windows 2012 to 2012 r2

We have a Sharepoint with Sp1 environment on windows 2012. Recently we upgraded the windows 2012 to 2012 r2. After the upgrade sharepoint environment is completely unstable.
At first all the sites returned 401 errors. After resolving by resetting the object cache accounts the sites are back.
Then i see that none of the performance point dashboards work. I figured that claims to windows token service is defaulted to local system account. I previously configured with a domain account. I reconfigured to work with domain account.
All the dashboard pages throw error.
Some Error logs:Failed to get document content data. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Cannot complete this function at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.GetDocumentContentRow
Application error when access /Dashboards/Performance Dashboard/Main.aspx, Error=The EnableScriptGlobalization property cannot be changed during async postbacks or after the Init event. at System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.set_EnableScriptGlobalization(Boolean
value)
4. I tried to create a new dashboard and this time the performancepoint designer wont launch. After some troubleshooting i see that c2w host file didnot have the caller C:\Program Files\Windows Identity Foundation\v3.5.
I added <add value="WSS_WPG" /> and now it launches
5. Now the Dashboard launches and peruser identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS. I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at the IIS level
yet.
It looks like lot of things got messed up and reset. Can we upgrade to windows 2012 r2 with a sharepoint application inplace. what is the recommended approach and Whats happening with Performancepoint dashboards. IS there a known issue with sharepoint 2013
sp1.
Raj-Shpt

Thanks for the above article. Few issues are solved . One of the main issue is with Performancepoint Dashboard.
I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at
the IIS level yet. Still per user identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS.

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.

I have tried many of the suggestions that I have found in the forums for this issue but non have worked as of yet.
I have sharepoint 2013 sp1 running on server 2012 R2 connected to SQL 2012 DB, which was upgrade from SharePoint foundation 2013. Everything is working with the exception of the search. the errors are below.
Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (1d094485-eab9-458d-a363-4b5e8704048f).
Reason: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

For some reason this is using the farm account which is not the account used for the search service but has full access to the sites and databases. So I'm not sure what or where it is getting an access denied error. Is there any way to find what it is trying
to access? BTW I have disabled the loopback check, verified it has correct access to %windir%\tasks and recreated the search service many times, changed application pool accounts

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance
after you upgraded SharePoint 2013 Foundation to SharePoint Server 2013.
For troubleshooting your issue, please try adding the farm account on the Server local administrator group and see if it is related to permission issue. Then try stopping the Timer Service, clearing
the Configuration Cache and restarting the Timer Service:

SharePoint 2013 site collection 'upgrade completed with errors'

Hi All,
I am in process to upgrade SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 with all steps as mentioned in TechNet.
I was able to get all the SP2010 UI in SP2013 environment. However, when I navigated to top level site and clicked on “Site
Collection health checks”. In SP2010 environment I never used (as Farm Admin) any Video content type. It belongs
to out-of-the-box "digital asset content types" and cannot be deleted.
Therefore I changed the name of Video to our department name like "Video - Company" and ran the site collection health check again. This time there was no conflict for content types.
After ran the site collection upgrade I got following error.

Hi All and Inderjeet,
Thanks for your reply and pointers.
I did follow the steps as mentioned in the links above. I used some third party solutions but not for any Video solution. I was able to successfully migrated the SP2010 (WSS_Content) to SP2013 (WSS_Content) environment a few weeks back with exactly same
third party solutions and no site collection error:
I renamed the default and out-of-the box video site content type as shown:
I ran the "Site Collection Health Check" and did not receive any error as in my second screenshot.
But, after upgrade the Site Collection Upgrade and got the same errors.
I don't know if there is any SharePoint Server 2013 patch gave this error as I keep run the Windows Server 2012 (not running R2) and SharePoint Server 2013 regularly.
Can suggest how to resolve this error?
Many Thanks!!
