Hi All,
We are using SharePoint 2013 , after long time am tried for create new BI center in one of our web application , but its taking more then 10 mints , the page is loading more then 10 mints , after that i just refresh the page and i got a error "Sorry
this site was created already with this name".
so , i try to enter the new site URL am getting error the page is not valid .
i thought this was on issue with requirements on BI Center , so i checked the web application associated service application , but i have Visio Graphics service application , Excel Service Application and Performance point service application running for
this web application .
after some time i tried to create team site template site collection , i am facing the same issue again , i really dont know what is the issue with my CA , can any one help me to solve this issue ASAP.
i tried to create site collection from PowerShell also , but am facing the same issue , even i got the same error while try to create sub site. i tried with refreshing IIS also , but its not worked.
Am waiting for your valuable response .
Thanks,

Hello Mani L,
Please make a host entry on you WFE server for the URL of the site you are trying to create. Then try browsing the site from same server.
- First check if the binding is correctly configure in Alternate Access mapping on Central administration
- Same binding should be provided under IIS for the web application
If this doesn't resolve the issue then, for testing create a host entry for central admin hostheader url.
To do this follow below mentioned steps:
Go to Start -> Run -> Type drivers
open HOSTS file in a notepad
type IP address of the APP server and beside that with a tab key type URL of the site
Save the file and try to browse the site in a fresh new browser after closing all the browser.
Where SharePoint.com is my Host Header URL and IP address is the server IP where the site is hosted (APP Server generally)
Thank You, Pallav S. Srivastav ----- If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered.

Unable to create site hierarchy for any variation label

I am unable to create a site hierarchy for our source variation and any subsequent variation labels we setup. The error when trying to do so is:
“An error was encountered performing this operation.
You may re-try the operation, and you may need to clean up the half-created data first before re-trying. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator. “
We have a test farm which didn't have this problem.
Any help gratefully received.

Thanks Mark. I'll certainly give that a try. But today I started digging into the SharePoint Logs and found this entry:

This exception totally amazes me because I thought from WSS 3.0/MOSS 2007 onwards all Web Parts could be derived from System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart. So does this mean I will have to change all of them?
Did you run into anything similar?

Creating site collection in claims enabled webapplication with each in seperate content database

Hi All,
We have a requirement where end user have a option to create site collection with out contacting farm admin, and each site collection would be created in separate content db.
we used WebApplication.sites.add() which is working only for classic authentication web applications.
how do we create site collections in claims enable web application with each site in separate content db?
Any thoughts on this would be helpful.
ragava_28

Hi,
We can use Self Service Site Creation to achieve your requirement.
The code snippet below for your reference:
using (var site = rootSite.SelfServiceCreateSite(siteCollectionUrl, title, description, locale, null, adminLogin, adminName, adminEmail, secondaryAdminLogin, secondaryAdminName, secondaryAdminEmail))
var web = site.RootWeb;
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
//Activate web template feature
site.Features.Add(webTemplateFeatureGuid);
//Apply web Template
using (var s = new SPSite(site.ID))
var webTemplates = s.RootWeb.GetAvailableWebTemplates(locale);
var webTemplateId = "{" + webTemplateFeatureGuid.ToString() + "}#" + webTemplateName;
var webTemplate = webTemplates[webTemplateId];
if (webTemplate != null)
web.ApplyWebTemplate(webTemplate);
// need to reload web. Features in webtemplate have modified it!
web = site.OpenWeb(web.ServerRelativeUrl);
// Continue doing stuff to new site

Create a site collection with dedicated content db with the help of server object model

Hi,
I have a requirement to implement a create a new site collection with dedicated content db. i have got 2 PowerShell scripts which does the same. first i will create a content db and then create the sitecollection with contentdb
parameter with the created contentdb name.
Now the site collection created must contain few doc libs and few splists with look up columns, people picker data type, multiline of text, single line of text,choice field. hence i am thinking the below approach:
1) create a web template and include sp doclibs, splists , site columns in this.
2) i am thinking of a ui design to create the below:
These are called "projects" which is actually the site collection with the doclibs, splists and must be created by sharepoint admin on click of a link in my landing page.end users access these "projects" aka
"site collections" and uploads the documents into these projects and collaborate.
so my question is : On click of a button can I create a site collection with a dedicated content db based on the web template created with the hel of server object model?
The other approach is on click of this button call the power shell script which accepts the sitecollection name and contentdb name as parameter. is this possible in server obj.model ?
passing a paramter from code behind- visual web part ui to power shell ?
and it should create the site collec based on the web template and create the content db.
my doubt #3 : will it not throw error "request timed out" when creating the site collec and contentdb from ui ?

Try below:

PowerShell is just a wrapper for the object model. You shouldn't need to reference PowerShell in your feature, just create the new site collection with C# inside your feature. There's a blog post here that illustrates some code that may get you started.

Unable to create Business System with role Integration Server

hi Experts,
we are unable to create a BS with role of integration server, its throwing error with internal server 500.
please advise. we do not have any issues while creating TS with role of WEBASABAP.
thanks and regards,
Kesava
Edited by: Prateek Raj Srivastava on Jan 23, 2012 12:13 AM

Hi Kesava,
what is the purpose of creating a business system of type IS? This is automatically done in the post installation by CTC templates. So if the post installation is successfully executed, this should already be there. And if not you should check if the post installation was properly executed and if there where problems analyse why they occured.
The creation of the BS is just one part of the game, so I would highly recommend to execute the hole post configuration via template or follow the help.sap.com and execute it step by step manually in the described order. Otherwise i guess this will not work.
If there where just problems with SLD - please also have a look at SA Note 1117249 - Incomplete Registration of PI components in SLD

Error creating site collection - Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core, Version=1.0.0.0

Hi Thomas,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you created a site collection in SharePoint 2013.
I found a similar thread with yours, maybe it also was created by you. Anyway ,in the thread, the workaround is Changing the virtual directory web config of CA (Option 1 and 2 mentioned at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn473937.aspx ) and it worked.
More information, please take a look at:

I hope this helps.

Error occured while creating site collection for the first time in SP2013

While creating a new site collection in SharePoint 2013, I need to do atleast 4 times " Go back to Site" begore it appears properly. Could you please let me know why this error is occuering while we create site collection for the first time.
Is it aknown issue or due to RAM contraints.I am using 16 GB of RAM in Web tier.

You can get by with 16 GB of RAM so I am guessing that is not the cause. Although, you could verify your memory utilization during the process. As long as you don't exceed 95% you should be fine. Next time, I would instead look up the
error in the ULS logs using the correlation id and see if you can get more details of what is causing the error.

SCCM 2012 - Creating a Collection with Limiting memebers to 5 or 10 Computers even the Memebership Query can pull 1000 members

Dear Brothers,
I am deploying a huge application (requires 45 Minutes to Install, 3 to 5 Restarts), and I need to limit the deployment to 5 computers at a time. Limiting my Network Load and also the availability of the computers in operation as it requires a successive
Restart.
My aim is to "Create" a "Collection" to focus on deploying the software to
5 computers at a time. The collection that limits to 5 computers can help our production environment to focus on the total deployment time without disturbing other computers.
Regards,

I would use powershell to do this. Create a Collection with all the computers that should get the application.
Then in powershell - get all the members of that Collection into a variable. Use that variable as a basis for creating new Collection and create some logic that takes 5-10 machines and put those into a new Collection and then takes the next 5-10 machines
and so on.
I guess you could also do it using a combination of Query and Exclude Collections membership rules, but you would have to do it manually.

Unable to create the type with the name 'MSORA'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS)

I am attempting to use the Integration Services Import Project Wizard within Microsoft Visual Studio and am getting this error
Unable to create the type with the name 'MSORA'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS)
upon Import.
Can anyone shed some light for me on this cryptique error message?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

If you have the SSIS and SSDT (BIDS) installed then
I believe the DTS assemblies got derigistered, a typical outcome of corrupted software, so a full re-install would be the best option. VS +SQL Server + more
Otherwise, as a quick fix try to
reference the SSIS assemblies, like Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS.dll + more.
They are by default in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<number>\SDK\Assemblies.

Unable to create the type with the name 'ODATA'

On a test server with VS 2012 and SQL 2012 installed, I have created an SSIS project in project deployment mode. In the packages of the project I use the Odata source for SSIS. The packages run fine in VS 2012. But when I deploy the package to the Integration
Services catalog on the same server as where I am running VS 2012 I get a deployment error:
‘Failed to deploy project. For more information, query the operation_messages view for the operation identifier '25084'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 27203)'
When I read this message from the SSISDB database, I see the problem with ODATA.
use SSISDB
go
select * from catalog.operation_messages where operation_id = 25084
--Failed to deploy the project. Fix the problems and try again later.:Unable to create the type with the name 'ODATA'.
As I said: the packages with the Odata run without error when tested from within VS2012 on the SAME server. When I deploy the project from Visual Studio I get the error.
For completeness: I have also tried deployment from VS2012 to another server where the SSIS Odata source has bene deployed. Also to no avail.
Jan D'Hondt - SQL server BI development

The next possiblity for me was to convert the project to Package deployment and see what the result I get. I have converted my project with package connections from project deployment to Package deployment. Then I deployed the package on the server in MSDB
catalog from SSIS. I.e. I connect with SSMS to Integration Services as an administrator and under the MSDB folder I added a new folder for my package. I then imported the dtsx into the mdsb package store. The Import worked. Still from within SSMS and connected
to the Integration Services, i right-clicked on the package in the MSDB store and selected 'Run package'. In the Execute Package dialog window, I clicked on 'Execute' and the package actually ran. The Odata connector was opened, it read the data and imported
into my database.
This experience made me realize what the real culprit was: The OData connector is a 32-bit connector in SQL Server 2012.
To prove this: with SSMS I connected to the SQL database server and in the Integration services catalog, i right-clicked on the package that was deployed in Project deployment mode, then selected 'Execute...'. In the execute dialog windo in the 'Advanced'
tab I checked 32-bit runtime. And the package ran.
To wrap it all up:
The Project deployment will work, but not with the Odata source as project connection. The Odata connection must be defined in each package as a package connection.
Run the deployed packages in 32-bit mode on the server

Create site Collection from site template containing blog subsite sp2013

Hello,
I want to create a site collection based on a `site template` that contains a `calendar app` and a `blog` subsite.
I explain, i have a site that contains a subsite of type `blog` site and also contains a calendar in `sharepoint 2013`, i saved the site as a template and checked **`include content`**.
However,
when i create a new sitecollection based on that template, i get the caledar app but never the blog subsite...
Am i missing something here? And how can we do this please?

Cannot create Site Collection in new Webapplication after upgrade to SP1

Hello,
after upgrading my SharePoint Server 2013 (small Farm with one SP and one SQL) I am not able to create new site collections in new web application. Furthermore I am facing trouble when creating a new web application which I suspect is a connected problem.
Environment:
SharePoint 2013 ENU with german language pack upgraded to SharePoint 2013 SP1. Both parts are upgraded (SharePoint and Language pack). Afterwards I have done a psconfigui to upgrade the DB which works fine. Only one DB (BDC is still running in compatibility
mode).
Everything is running on a single server on Windows Server 2012.
Problem(s)
When I create a new web application it tooks a very long time (3 + minutes) and ends with an error message (Sorry something went wrong !). If I close this message I can see the new web application and also its content DB. If I then try to add a new site
collection into this new web application it fails (Sorry something went wrong).
I suspect this is a connected error, but I have now idea what is going on. Everythings else seems to work...
Any idea or support would be great.
Thanks in advance
Martin

You can get issues if you hit a time out message during the creation process. How does it work if you create a site collection using PowerShell?
You can extend the timeout duration this is for web application creation but might be of use here too: http://blog.babunski.me/2013/07/17/sharepoint-404-error-while-creating-a-new-web-application/
Do you get any error messages when you create the site collection?

do you have any other web app in the farm, try to create a site collection over there and try.
I would create new content DB, try to provison site in it and make sure root site collection created.
I would also check the IIS logs as well.
