SharePoint Apps Planning and Infrastructure

Hi All,
I have tested the SharePoint Apps in our test server which is Single server environment. Now, we are moving into production servers which has 4 WFEs and 1 App server. WFEs has minimum service applications and 1 App server has App management service,
Search UPS etc,
Q: for wild card self-signed certificate that is required for Apps, where should I generate the certificate? Whether for 1 App server or individual certs for 4 WFEs?
Q: We need to propose valid SharePoint apps infrastructure to users for the production servers. Would 1 app servers and 4 WFEs meet the requirements for users?
Please advise.
Sandy

Hi martusha and others,
Thanks for your reply. Point noted for your suggestion for commercial. Our organization has indeed has commercial license.
Number of users are around 3000.
Application server has most of services applications configured such as Search, UPS, Work Management Service, BSC, BI services etc.
4 WFEs have minimum services applications (Microsoft SharePoint Foundation incoming email, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service)
For SharePoint Apps, we are planning the host SharePoint Apps on Application server and use the commercial license that will be used as wild card certificate on this server.
Q: My question is that do we have add wild card certificate on Application server or wild card certificate on each WFE.
Q: Above question will dictate our architecture for SharePoint Apps.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sandy

SharePoint Apps not working

Greetings,
I'm having trouble configuring my SharePoint Server 2013 to use apps from the SharePoint app store, and so my developers can ultimately begin writing apps.
I've gone through the configuration process here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179923(v=office.15)
And set up DNS with a separate app domain, but when I try to run an app from a SharePoint site, I get the following error:
Server Error in '/' Application.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to run an app from a SharePoint site.
Please make sure that you set up the development environment correctly.
Based on the error page, I recomand to modify ‘”web.config” to look at the actual page that is given during the error.
The typical error page is telling you that it wants to show you more information about the error, but it can’t since you are not at the correct location. To change that you have to modify some values within web.config file.
You need do following two changes in your web.config file.
1. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\virtualdirectories\<port>” go to the url modify the web.config file
a. In customErrors tag set mode="Off" to "On
b. In SafeMode tag set CallStack="true" to false
c. In Compilation tag Debug="false" to true
2.If still you are facing default error page then follow below change
In the layouts directory underneath the SharePoint root directory or 14 hive – C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS
a. In customErrors tag set mode="Off" to "On
b. In SafeMode tag set CallStack="true" to false
c. In Compilation tag Debug="false" to true

Is lightroom included in Single App plan?

I want to buy Photoshop CC in Single App plan and also requires Lightroom.
My question:Is the Lightroom already included (free) in Single App plan (just like Photography plan) ?
Thanks.

My question:Is the Lightroom already included (free) in Single App plan (just like Photography plan) ?
No.
With the Single App plan all you get is Photoshop.
You need the Creative Cloud Photography Plan
Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud

Can I change my app in the single app plan?

I bought the CC single-app plan and I want to change my chosen app from Indesign to Photoshop. Is this possible?

Hi Abbonathan16,
Welcome to Adobe Forums
You can cancel the Single Application for In design and purchase the Photoshop application.
Let us know if that helps!
Thanks

Coexistence of the SCCM 2012 R2 client and the App-V Full Infrastructure Model

Our environment currently has the App-V Full Infrastructure Model deployed with Windows 7 clients using hundreds of App-V apps. We plan to deploy SCCM 2012 R2 to the environment.
What is the affect on our Windows 7 users when the SCCM 2012 R2 client is deployed - will their existing App-V apps (utilizing the App-V Full Infrastructure Model) continue to function? Or will SCCM 'take over' all App-V functionality?
The only documentation I can find on this is one paragraph in the App-V and ConfigMgr 2012 White Paper (http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/5/A/15AD0DD6-40A8-49E3-86D6-C21E5D0BC7F8/App-V%20and%20ConfigMgr%202012%20White%20Paper.pdf) which
states:
Q: Is it possible to perform a phased migration from an App-V standalone or App-V Full Infrastructure
to Configuration Manager virtual application management?
A: Yes, migration to Configuration Manager virtual application management begins with deployment of
an App-V application from Configuration Manager 2012. Upon the first deployment in Configuration
Manager 2012, no new applications can be deployed via other methods, but all previously deployed
packages will be retained.
A blog post here (http://www.applepie.se/config-mgr-2012-and-app-v) seems to indicate this is expected behavior.
But then, this contradicts what Microsoft says on the TechNet website (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj822982.aspx):
Configuration Manager begins to manage virtual applications on a client after the first deployment of a virtual application. After this, all App-V applications on the computer must be managed by Configuration Manager.
Does anyone have any opinions or experience on this? Or further information?
My Microsoft Core Infrastructure & Systems Management blog -
blog.danovich.com.au

As soon as an App-V package is deployed to a user/device via SCCM then it takes over the management of the client on that device, therefore App-V packages coming from the App-V publishing server will no longer be deployed to that device.
I would assume that full cached apps would continue to be run on the local device but new content would no longer be deployed from it.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Search Configuration Issue - 2 App Servers and 2 Front-End Servers

Hi,
We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 with SP1 Environment.
In that, we have 2 Front-End Servers and 2 App Servers. In the Front-End Servers, the Search Service is stopped and is in Disabled state and in the 2 App Servers in One App Server, Search is Online and in another Search is Starting but goes to Stopped sooon
after.
Originally, we had only 1 App Server and we were running our Search Service and Search Service Application in that. Now since the index location became full and we were unable to increase the drive there, we added one more App Server and now the issue is
Search is not properly getting configured in either of these App servers. What we want to do is run Search only in the new App Server, because we have a lot of storage space for Index locations here, but in the older App Server, not run Search at all. We
tried keeping the Search Service disabled and ran the below PowerShell Scripts, but none of the ones are working. These scripts are creating the Search Service Application, but the error of "Admin Component is not Online", "Could not connect
to the machine hosting SharePoint 2013 admin component" is coming up.

Hi Karthick,
For your issue, could you provide the
detail error message of ULS log to determine the exact cause of the error?
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
For troubleshooting your issue, you can try to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on your WFE servers and run the script for configuring the search service on SharePoint
Foundation:
[string]$farmAcct = "DOMAIN\service_Account"
[string]$serviceAppName = "Search Service Application"
Function WriteLine
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "--------------------------------------------------------------"

SharePoint Apps can be installed and added to a site, but can not be started

Hello,
I followed this guide to enable SharePoint Apps on our SP Foundation 2013: http://sharepointchick.com/archive/2012/07/29/setting-up-your-app-domain-for-sharepoint-2013.aspx. On top I did the configuration of the Subscription Settings Service that is
mentioned in the guide with a link to msdn.
Now we are able to add Apps to a site through SharePoint Store with a user with the needed rights ( System Account can not do this). The link that is created for the app matches our configuration of App URLs, but when I click on the added app on my site,
the website can not be found. It seems like the apps aren't really added to the server.
I also don't know how I can add apps to the app catalog I created.
Greetings
chn

Hi Chn,
I wanted to confirm first. After you went through the configurations, you created an App Catalog site and that's where you're adding your App? (Steps here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161234(v=office.15).aspx)
Is this your own test App? Does it have to be registered? When does the error appear - is it when you Trust the App on your site?
Please Mark Answered if my reply solves your problem. Thanks!

How to create an External Content Type with SQL Stored Procedures Parameters and query it in a SharePoint App

Hi,
I'm new to SharePoint 2013 I want to be able to query a MSSQL database from a SharePoint App I have tried to create an External Content Type (ECT) which is produced from a MSSQL stored Procedure, this procedure has several parameters which are needed to
filter the data correctly. From here I want to produce an external list which I can then query from a c# SharePoint app. If I leave the filters in the ECT null then the list is of course empty or if enter a default values the results are limited
for the app to query so are no good.
I want to dynamically pass values to the ECT when querying from the app, is this not possible. Should I just be returning everything in an external list and then letting the query in the app filter the data, this seems inefficient?
Is this the best way to do this or should I be doing this differently?
Please can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hi Pandra801,
When you create a the external content type, please try to add a filter based on your select statement.

Or, try to create a stored procedure based on your select statement, then create ECT using the SQL stored procedure.

Network Load Balancing between SharePoint 2013 App server and WFE

Hi,
Can we do NLB between SharePoint 2013 App server and WFE Server ?
Below is our Architecture,
1. WFE Server (1)
2. APP Server (1)
3. Database Server
4. Domain Controller
We have configured NLB but, when we stop IIS on APP server, SharePoint 2013 web app link is not working.
is it possible ?
Please help us

You can do NLB between WFE and APP server however make sure that web application service is started from central admin which host sharepoint sites.
Why do you stop IIS on APP server, definitely it will not be able to host web app sites. rather you can just disable APP node on NLB to test it.

Where Client ID and Client Secret of SharePoint .app file will be stored

Where Client ID and Client Secret of SharePoint .app file will be stored, i had published my app in the production, and now i need to enhanced the app, and i want to publish my app again, so where can i get my previous Client ID and Client Secret

If it's provider hosted app, then you can find ClientId in a AppManifest.xml, and in a web.config of your web project.

Developing SharePoint Apps to work on both OnPremise and SharePoint Online

I have a requirement of developing SharePoint app which should work on both SharePoint online and SharePoint on premise. Is there any restriction on apps which might only work on one particular environment and not working on other. If there are scenarios
which app can only work on particular environment what are the limitations and scenarios.

When using the SharePoint Remote API (CSOM/JSOM/REST) and wanting your apps to be usable across platforms you must make sure to reference the correct version of Microsoft.SharePoint.Client and be careful not to utilize features only available in O365.
There are two version of the CSOM 15 and 16. The 16 version comes with VSTO and has some methods only available on O365, for example Web.GetFolderByID method. If you reference the 16 version and use this method everything will compile but will fail the minute
you make the call to SharePoint on-prem. You should also avoid using the new REST batch capabilities which are only available in O365. There is virtually no documentation on the differences between the versioned API's.
