Sharepoint 2013 - WSS content LOG file very very big

Hi there.
Sharepoint 2013 with latest updates.
WSS CONTENT database size is cca 110GB, LOG FILE is 90GB.
Even if we did FULL backup of databes that does not decrease LOG file size.
Any hints how to lower the size of LOG data file?
With best regards

Hi Bostjan,
I wonder whether the issue can be resolved by shrinking log file.
Shrinking data files recovers space by moving pages of data from the end of the file to unoccupied space closer to the front of the file. When enough free space is created at the end of the file, data pages at end of the file can deallocated and returned
to the file system.
Here is the reference for Shrink a File in SQL 2012 for your convenience:

BPC log files very large

Hi All,
our BPC log files are very large compared to the data files. our
we have separate disks for data and log files:
DATA D:\ = 550GB total
LOG E:\ = 278GB total
D:\ICTSI_BPC.mdf = 5.6GB
E:\ICTSI_BPC_log.ldf = 185GB
is this correct? i have read that Log file should roughly be 25% of the
size of the total amount of data. Example: a 4GB database should have a
1GB log file. How can we adjust the size of the SQL log file?
we are using a multiserver set up, SAP BPC 7 SP04 (32bit)
MS SQL 2008 Server (64 bit)
thanks in advance!

Hi Jeb,
Do you already backup the database from the SQL Server ? Because in my server there is once when the log file is bigger then my database and that's because the backup schedule is not working.
So what i do is , do the backup manual from the sql server and the log file will shrink automatic.
After that , i create the automatic backup schedule again.
Hope this information helps.

Sync Services Log file very large

user>library>application support>sync services>local
My Sync Services log file was over 111 Gb. It appears to grow in size every day. I have reset SyncServices per Apple. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
I even deleted the contents of the local folder (not recommended per apple, but seems fine) and still my syncservices.log grows and is taking over my hard drive.
I use Entourage and Sync Services is used to Sync iCal/Address book (then for my iPhone sync).
Any suggestions to stop this out of control log?!?

Hi,
Increasing the size of the redo logfile size may reduce the number of switches as it takes time to fill the file up but your system's redo generatin will stil be the same. Reduce the frequent commits.
Use the following notes to further narrow down the possible root cause.

Uploading multiple documents into sharepoint list item with REST in sharepoint 2013 using content editor web part :

hi ,
i am trying to upload multiple document files into sharepoint list item. I followed below link for implementaion.
http://techfindings-prem.blogspot.in/search/label/jquery.multifilejs
It was working for sharepoint hosted app.
This complete code is written within content edito web part.
It was working when i was in root site collection with below change (hard coded the root level url) in code in "UploadFile" function.
var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
console.log(' File size:' + bytes.length);
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')",
method: "POST",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: binary,
success: fsucc,
error: ferr,
state: "Update"
function fsucc(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
deferred.resolve(data);
function ferr(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
deferred.reject(data);
But the issue came in picture when i was working with the other site collection instead of root one. The url was like below.
"http://servername/sites/cpg/". This time i need to be there within "cpg" site collection.
Now if i hard code the url as i did above my code gets break here while come to below line
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
I am getting error when i used below code:
var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')",
method: "POST",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: binary,
success: fsucc,
error: ferr,
state: "Update"
function fsucc(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
deferred.resolve(data);
function ferr(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
deferred.reject(data);
Please hekp in this case. This complete code is written within content edito web part.

Sanjay Joshi

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about upload multiple documents files into library vai REST API.
As you have said, you have used the hard code url in your code.
How about use the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method to get the url?
I have used this method to get the url, then use the code in the article you have pasted within a content editor web part to upload the files.
You can replace the hard code url with the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method, then check whether it works.
Thanks,
Jason

Hosting SharePoint 2013 and content separation (Windows Server 2012)

I have a windows 2012 server which hosts a ASP.NET 4.5 MVC website.
I am interested in installing SharePoint 2013 on the same standalone server (which is a virtual cloud server, and easily scalable). I would like to be able to create separate instances of sharepoint for each of my customers (around 10), and provide them
with a custom URL ie. customer.abc.com (where abc.com is my domain). These sites will be created programmatically when a user signs us to my site (they only require basic SharePoint functionality, i.e. the creation of team sites, notifications etc.)
So:
1) Can I install SharePoint 2013 at no extra cost on windows server 2012? (what are the limitations)
2) Is it possible to create separate instances of sharepoint 2013 (in terms of config and content DB's)
3) I'm sure there are many but what are some other considerations

1) With SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint itself does not cost anything, but you must purchase User CALs for employees of your company, and User CALs for non-employees or a Windows External Connector license.
2) No, you need to use multi-tenancy instead - http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010mt1.aspx
Note that you must have Active Directory in this environment and the Server 2012 VM you currently have must be joined to the Active Directory domain.

SharePoint is not crawling .Log File Types

Does a default SharePoint Search installation understand and know how to crawl .log file types? "log" was added as an allowable file type. Is there a specific iFilter needed? Thanks for any tips provided.

Hi obautista，
This is by design, because the default ifilter installed with SPS2010 does not support .log type.
Please refer to
File types and IFilters reference (SharePoint Server 2010)
To index .log type file, you need to install an ifilter, unfortunatelly, i didn't find any ifilters for that.
If you do need this feature, you may want to write your own ifiter.
Refer to:
How to Build an IFilter for SharePoint 2010 Search and Windows Search Using C++, ATL, and MFC

'Share' functionality in SHarePoint 2013 - Prevent access to files

Hello
I have a client that has just moved to SP2013 and they used the send document link as hyperlink in email functionality of SharePoint 2010 regularly. THis was good for them because if the link was sent to a user that did not have access to a document
then they couldn't open it.
I would like to do the same thing in the 2013 environment and I have been making use of the 'Share' functionality. This does not seem to be working as if the Share functionality is used then the users specified get access to the document regardless
of their permissions.
Is there a way to stop users from opening documents if they are accidentally sent a link to a document they don't have access to?? it seems the 'Share' functionality overwrites it.

There are a few ways to do it:
http://www.sharemuch.com/2013/07/25/how-to-disable-sharesynchfollow-buttons-on-the-sharepoint-2013-ribbon/

http://removesharefollow.codeplex.com/
http://www.eliostruyf.com/hiding-the-social-actions-follow-share-from-the-document-libraries-in-sharepoint-2013/
Disabling Access Requests should disable the Share feature.

Exchange 2013 - Cleaning UP logs files (Client Access Server)

I have to client access server and it is running out of space
Is there anywhere in the C:\ drive where I can delete some space (e.g. log files)

If you refer to C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles, you can delete them manually or use a Powershell script to delete them.

Pls immediate help required log files are getting big size than 1GB

oc4j_DBConsole_mbcvizpilot3.mbc.uae_vizrtdb\log

Do as follows :
- stop EM
- rename log directory to log.old
- create a new log directory
- restart EM
- check that new log files have been created in the new log directory
- after checking that everything works fine you can remove the old directory.
You shouldn't have any problem, at least I didn't have any...

Sharepoint 2013 Does not open files using UNC path from Server

Hi All,
Just setup our new 2013 sharepoint intranet site , I tried adding a hyperlink to a document stored on our server using a UNC path file://servername/share/filename.doc but when i click on it it takes me to a blank Webpage in a new tab.
I have turned on "open client applications" in the site collection features hoping that would help ....buuuuuut it did not.
Also tried variations in the UNC path eg: \\servername\share\filename.doc etc..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Open start run > type > file://servername/share/filename.doc Does this works

Actually the problem I described is an Internet Explorer issue and I will try to get resolution in the appropriate forum. IE exhibits the described behavior whether the link is in a Sharepoint site page, or in a regular non-Sharepoint web page.
Mozilla does not have the issue.

SharePoint 2013 Folder Content Types

Hi,
In SP2013 I have library with a default content type (IT Library Content Type) that I want to change when a file is placed in a particular folder in this library.
The default content type order for this folder has been changed to a different content type 'Issues' and should be the only content type shown when the edit page is presented. However, when a file is added to this folder, a Content Type selection
listbox is presented showing 'It Library Content Type' as the default selection with the 'Issues' content type available for selection.
Desired behavior is to have 'Issues' content type columns presented, with no content type selections seen, when the Edit Page is shown.
Thanks

Hi,
As you said about Folder content type in SharePoint, I supposed that you were talking about Document Set content type.
If I misunderstood, please feel free to correct me.
If that is the case, the issue is by design that the default content type will be available when uploading or editing documents inside the document set even though the content type is not added in the allowed content types in Document Set settings. And the
default content type of the library will be set the default selection when editing or uploading documents inside the document set.
As a workaround, I recommend to set the allowed content type as the default content type in the document library.
Best regards.
Thanks

SharePoint 2013 Custom Content Type with Site Column custom validations

Hello,
Can somebody please suggest me how I can create custom content type with site columns with custom validation to site columns programmatically?
Thanks,
Praveen Kumar Padmakaran

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to create content type with site column with validation.
You could create a site column, and add some validation to the site column. After you could create a custom content type, please add the site column with validation to the content type. Please refer
to this code below:
static void Main(string[] args)
// replace your url
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp/sites/sp2013"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
//define the type of the field
SPFieldType type = SPFieldType.Number;
// create a site column
SPField field = CreateSiteColumn(web, "newTest", type, "");
// add custom formula for the field
SPFieldNumber fieldNumber = web.Fields.GetField("newTest") as SPFieldNumber;
fieldNumber.ValidationFormula = "=[newTest]>5";
fieldNumber.ValidationMessage = ">5";
fieldNumber.Update();
SPContentTypeId parentItemCTypeId = web.ContentTypes[0].Id;
// create custom content type
SPContentType contentType = CreateSiteContentType(web, "newContent", parentItemCTypeId, "Custom Content Types");
// add the site column to the content type
AddFieldToContentType(web, contentType, field);
// add fiedl to contenttype
public static void AddFieldToContentType(SPWeb web, SPContentType contentType, SPField field)
if (contentType == null) return;
if (contentType.Fields.ContainsField(field.Title)) return;
SPFieldLink fieldLink = new SPFieldLink(field);
contentType.FieldLinks.Add(fieldLink);
contentType.Update();
// create a custom content type
public static SPContentType CreateSiteContentType(SPWeb web, string contentTypeName,SPContentTypeId parentItemCTypeId, string group)
if (web.AvailableContentTypes[contentTypeName] == null)
SPContentType itemCType = web.AvailableContentTypes[parentItemCTypeId];
SPContentType contentType =
new SPContentType(itemCType, web.ContentTypes, contentTypeName) { Group = @group };
web.ContentTypes.Add(contentType);
contentType.Update();
return contentType;
return web.ContentTypes[contentTypeName];
// create a site column
public static SPField CreateSiteColumn(SPWeb web, string displayName,SPFieldType fieldType, string groupDescriptor)
if (!web.Fields.ContainsField(displayName))
string fieldName = web.Fields.Add(displayName, fieldType, false);
SPField field = web.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName(fieldName);
field.Group = groupDescriptor;
field.Update();
return field;
return web.Fields[displayName];

SharePoint 2013 PowerShell Command Log - similar to Exchange EMC powershell logging

Is there any kind of logging that tracks the powershell cmdlet equivalent of the operations being performed in the SharePoint Central Admin GUI?
similar to how you can view the powershell equivalence logging from inside the exchange management console?
if it isn't a feature you can enable, or something that comes out of the box; is there any third party tools that could track/correlate that king of information?
I find those powershell cmdlet logs extremely useful
I have conducted various searches and cannot find any information on this topic.

It does not. The tooling is dramatically different as is the way that you interact with the application.
In theory MS could do something like it for vNext and the cloud (that'd be great) but it's not really viable for 2013 due to the complexities of the interaction.
