Site not found using Sharepoint Designer 2013, Load balance URL and the Front end servers.

Dears,
My SharePoint farm is with the below configuration in our office :
Batch processing server the with Central Administration
Web Front End Sever 1 (http://wfe01)
Web Front End Sever 2 (http://wfe02)
I do have the load balance URL as http://finance.mycompany.com and as per the system administrator it seems configured properly.
In AAM i have mapped the URLs as below for the web application in Central Administration portal:
http://finance.mycompany.com - Default Zone
http://wfe01 - Intranet Zone
http://wfe02 - Internet Zone
I was able to browse the site via the load balance URL : http://finance.mycompany.com, but couldn't open the site using the Share Point Designer 2013. It always says the site not found.
please advise,
thanks,
Ammar

What do the wfe01 and wfe02 aams do?
Are you browsing to the SharePoint site and using SPD on the same computer, is it part of the farm or a seperate client computer?
thanks Alex a lot for your response and appreciate the same.
WFE01, WFE01 is connected to the one central admin on Batch Processing Server (central admin URL is http://SharepointCA:5555 and the SharePoint Web Application is hosted under port 80 on the same server). So the AAM configured on the batch processing server
central admin.
I can connect to the site using the SPD inside the Batch Processing server if i mention the site urs as http://localhost. But not from other client computers by putting the load balance URL - http://finance.mycompany.com.
I can browse the sites directly putting http://wfe01, http://wfe02 and as well as the load balance URL (http://finance.mycompany.com). The custom webparts are getting crashed when i put the web application URL as http://finance.mycompany.com.
thanks,
Ammar

Data Source for Current Task not Showing in SharePoint Designer 2013

Hello,
I am creating a approval workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013. I had completed the workflow only to have the requirement by the client that they wanted to approve the workflow from email. So I thought why not use the Current Task:Form_URN data source field.
But i went to look for it, and it doesnt appear to be in the drop down.
Im on Office 365, and using it for one of my SharePoint Sites. Im new to Office 365. Please help.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use Current Task:Form_URN to let users approve the task in email.
When we use SharePoint 2010 platform to create approval workflow with “Start Approval Process” action, in the approval notification email, there is a button called “Open this Task”with Outlook client. If we click the button, it will call the task and we
can approve or reject the task.
I added a log action into my approval workflow to log Current Task:Form_URN, the value of the log message was the edit form of the current task.
If you want to use it in email, you can do as the followings:
Open your approval workflow with SharePoint 2013 Designer (the platform of the workflow sould be SharePoint 2010 platform).
Edit the workflow
In the “Start Approval Process” action, click “Approval (*)”.
Click “Change the behavior of a single task”
In the “When a Task is Pending” section, find the action “Email task notification to
Current Task:Assigned To “, and edit it like the screenshot below.
Publish the workflow

Hi,
I'm assuming you made your site as internet site (public facing).
In that case you might site desired output. If not you can think of replacing text
i.e SP2013 = hello.com

using sharepoint designer 2013 - connected to sharepoint online - but getting " data source file cannot be saved" after making a new linked datasource

Hi,
Based on your description, I have done a test and I can’t reproduce your issue.
I have used SharePoint Designer 2013 to open a SharePoint Online site and there are no issues.
I’d like to clarify whether you encounter any issues when accessing SharePoint Online sites. If there are no issues during the accessing procedure, SharePoint Online service should be working fine at your side. The issue may be caused by specific SharePoint
Designer client or network. I suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Use SharePoint Designer to open another site and check whether it is successful.
2. When you are prompted to enter Office 365 account and password, try other users’ accounts and select the remembering the credential.
3. Perform the connection procedure under another environment and verify whether the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, can you provide related screenshots for further troubleshooting?

Hi,
I inserted an edit form of a custom list in a site page using sharepoint designer-2013. But it is giving error "no item exists".
I am using default ListItemId Parameter with ID query string and I passed the query string parameter to that page. But still the result is same. But if I give any default value, page is displaying fine for that specific item although I dont pass any querystring
to the page URL.
Can you please guide me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
From your description, I know you get issue when you add “edit form” of custom list to a page.
I tried to reproduce your issue, and if I added “edit form” to page without “Advanced Mode”.
I add “edit form” to page with steps below:
Right click the page, click “Edit File in Advanced Mode”.
Find source with keywords [ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain"].
Choose INSERT tab in the Ribbon.
Click “Edit Item Form”, and choose the custom list that you want to add.
Save file, and go to the page.
The screenshot below is my result:

Sharepoint Cross-Site Content Rollup using Sharepoint Designer with Different Sites deployed in different ports

Hi
In Sharepoint Designer Cross Site Content Rollup is achieved using SOAP service in different site collections in Same domain (Same Port where site is deployed). Please provide the information that different sites in different
ports.
For Eg: Site A in one port (1000) and Site B in Another Port(2000). I want to access it from site A SP List in Site B using Sharepoint designer.

HI Krupesh,
You can call the web service or REST API to update the item in List B and List C in workflow.
Below mentioned links help in calling web service activity in workflow:

Cannot see the Previous Versions using SharePoint Designer 2013 - Versions cannot be accessed at this time.

I was trying to view the Version History of a page from the SharePoint Designer 2013, I got the following error. "Versions cannot be accessed at this time, because the server is busy. Please try again later.
Whereas I can able to access the version history through browser, the issue only occurs in SharePoint Designer.
Thanks
Ramkumar

Hi Ramkumar,
I understand that when you use SharePoint designer 2013 to check previous version of a page, it will pop up the error window. This is a known issue and here are two feasible workaround:
1.Use SharePoint designer 2010 to connect SharePoint 2013 site.
2.In SharePoint Designer 2013, use the Versions pane in the Page Summary view to access detailed version information of a file. You can access the Page Summary view by:
a. (Left) Clicking on a filename in the Site Pages list.
b. Select a file Site Pages list by clicking anywhere in the row (except the filename) and then clicking on “Page Settings” in the Site Pages.
c. Restore the required version.
Thanks for the understanding and support.

SharePoint Designer 2013 with SOAP DataSource and Windows Authentication

Hello
What do I need to do to create a SOAP Data Source in SharePoint Designer 2013 with Windows Authentication?
I am trying to display a list from another subsite in my Web Part Page using a DataView web part.
My environment is set up to use Claims with Kerberos.
Is there a guide available that talks about configuring this or troubleshooting this? What should I check?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Yoshi

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create a SOAP Data Source in SharePoint Designer 2013.
Please refer to the official article related, although it is about the SharePoint Designer 2010, it still works for SharePoint Designer 2013.

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

Item level permission on workflow task List using sharepoint designer 2013

Hello All,
I have created a custom approval workflow. Workflow create a Task in Tasks List. Now suppose A task is assign to user1.
User2 should not able to edit\approve\reject the item.
How to give item level permission using SharePoint designer in SharePoint 2013 workflow.
SharePoint 2013 workflow doesn't have impersonation steps also.
Please suggest how to give permission on task list based on assigned To field.

In order to change permissions on a list item you'd need a sharepoint 2010 workflow according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj728659.aspx
Unfortunately this functionality is not available in SharePoint 2013 workflows :-(
The impersonation step still exists, but it is now called "App Step" in the SharePoint Designer 2013 Ribbon. This step is disabled, though, until you activate a web site feature called "Workflows can use app permissions"

How do I apply conditional formatting using SharePoint Designer 2013?

I'm attempting to apply Conditional Formatting to a list view web part via SharePoint Designer 2013, and I can't seem to find the option to do so.
I've a horrible feeling I'm just being daft, but here's what I've done so far:
- Created a new page (I've tried both web part and wiki)
- Added a list "App part" and saved the page
- Checked-out and opened the page via Designer
- Clicked the "Edit file" option
- Selected the XsltListViewWebPart tag
So far I can't find any options to add it. If I open the Conditional Formatting pane via the View menu it tells me the following:
> To use conditional formatting, select an HTML tag, data value, or
> range of text, and then click Create to specify formatting options.
I've tried selecting the web part tags in all manner of combinations with no luck. In previous version I would have simply selected the previewed data rows in the now-absent Preview pane.
Am I missing something?

Create and edit a Wiki Page
Click Inset > Data View and Select “Empty Data View”
Click Inside the <DataSources> tags </DataSources>
Click Insert > Data Source “Your Data Source Name”
Hold down Ctrl button and select the Rows in the order you want them to appear from your “Data Source Details” Window.
After the Rows are selected click on the drop down “Insert Selected Fields as…” at the top of the “Data Source Details” Window.
Select “Multiple Item View” option (This will create the xsl where we need to add the conditional formatting to)
Find the <tr> tag that contains the Row Data. Insert the following right below the <tr> tag:
<xsl:attribute name="style">
<xsl:if test="@FieldName = 'Something'">background-color: #FF0000;</xsl:if>
</xsl:attribute>
I hope this helps. I figured this out by using the old 2010 Designer to figure out the where to place the code and how to do this.

Need to use sharepoint designer 2013 or use Infopath 2013 directly

I created a custom list on a test Sharepoint 2013 website. My intent is to edit this custom list in Infopath 2013 so I can make custom modifications to the form. I am trying to determine if there is a point of placing the custom list in SharePoint
Designer 2013 before I place the custom list in Infopath 2013 so I can create a custom form.
when I run the custom list from the test Sharepoint 2013 website, there are a default 'save' and 'cancel' buttons. However when I access the custom list next in sharepoint designer 2013, there are the original 'save' and 'cancel' buttons on the top of the
form and there are the 'save' and 'cancel' buttons at the bottom of the form.
Thus can you tell me if there is a reason to place the custom list in sharepoint designer 2013 and what the reason is? Do I need the default forms of displayform, editform, and updateform? If so, I only want one set of 'cancel/save' buttons on the
form. Thus can you tell me how to keep only one set of save and cancel buttons to be displayed on the form?
If I do not need SharePoint designer 2013, should I just go head and create the form needed in Infopath 2013?

Hi Wendy,
Based on you description, my understanding is that you want to custom your list form, and you want to keep only one set of 'cancel/save' buttons on the form.
It is by default that there will be two set of 'cancel/save' buttons on the form after changing Form with SharePoint Designer.
I suggest you custom your list form with InfoPath.
Although it is by default that “Save” and “Cancel” Buttons disappeared after changing Form with InfoPath.
You can Create Submit Button in an InfoPath Form .
http://community.office365.com/en-us/b/office_365_community_blog/archive/2013/05/21/infopath-save-and-new-button-grid-user-post.aspx
You can Create cancel Button in an InfoPath Form. Adding a button with a rule of closing the form when clicking.
