Update SharePoint in Staging Environment to SP2

Brand New Admin Here
I have been given the task to Update SP in Staging Environment to Service Pack 2. Once this is successfully done, I will then have to do it into the Production/Live environment.
I have no idea where to start, never have done this, please advise!
Appreciate all your help!

First, we would need to know if you had SharePoint Foundation, Server, or Project Server installed. In addition, if you had Search Server Express or Office Web Apps installed. You can find this information in Central Administration -> Manage Servers in
Farm. It will have the listed products that are installed for each server.
Once you figure that out, go to http://download.microsoft.com and search for your product(s) SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 2 package (e.g. Office Web Apps 2010 Service Pack 2).
Install the package on each SharePoint server in the farm. Once you're done installing the package(s), you need to then run Configuration Wizard on each server in the farm to apply the update.
You can find a lot of information on the process here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff806329.aspx. While this says SharePoint 2013, the process is identical for SharePoint 2010.

SharePoint Development,Deployment,Staging Environment system requirements(Hardware,Software,Required services)

Hi
   I want to know,
       1. System requirement for VM based Sharepoint 2013 development environment for minimum 3 user's
       2. SharePoint Topologies based on system architecture,system requirements
       3. General SharePoint Development environment with all required services
       4. SharePoint Deployment/Staging environment with all required services
Please help me to get the detailed informations on the above

Hi Siva_SREC,
My environment built for three developers is a 3-tier SharePoint farm. The physical hardware has 32 GB RAM divided as the following virtual machines that all get hosted inside Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V (Datacenter edition)
Active Directory - 2 GB: Used to provide authentication to all joined virtual machines in the farm.
Enterprise Database - 6GB: Used to host all SharePoint databases and TFS database.
3 x SharePoint Farm - 6GB: It depends on how big your project are. For example, if you need each develop to develop SharePoint in particular farm then you should separate 3 farms. Each farm has a SharePoint farm configuration database and relevant database.
If you need multiple developers to develop on the same farm then you need to join another server to the existing farm.
Team Foundation Server - 4GB: Used to store source code and files and for development collaboration
We have remaining 2 GB and it's quite enough for the physical host to run Hyper-V. I've also had a few other machines for specific purpose. For example, I've done building a single WAC farm that provides Office Web App service to SharePoint. I could turn
off one of SharePoint machines when my developer isn't working in order to test OWA. If you are having chances to work on SharePoint 2013 app development project so you would need to have a dedicated machine acting as a Provider that is responsible for providing
web service to the SharePoint. Of course in this case you use provider-hosted app or the combination of SharePoint-hosted app and provider-hosted app. Personally, this machine shouldn't be joined to the AD domain controller. It should be a separate AD because
in real-world scenario, your provider isn't the same AD with client's environment.
In terms of SharePoint topology design, I'd consider configuring 2-tier farm (WFE & App) because in many cases, you would have to deploy your solution in the environment that has many machines separated each other.
At the end of the day, it all depends on your budget and the size of your project. I would say there is no silver bullet on the hardware requirement. For example, the hardware needed for large project is totally different from the one for just SharePoint
branding task.
Hope this helps you.

Affect of coping content dbs from RTM PROD environment to SP2 UAT environment

Hi,
We have this periodic data refresh activity where Production environment's Content databases are copied over and restored in UAT environment (to keep the environments in sync).
Till now both the environments were the same (RTM version of SharePoint 2010). However last week I upgraded my UAT environment to SP2 + FEB 2014 CU. This leaves the Production environment on RTM.
Will this difference in SharePoint versions hamper anything if I restore the Production databases to UAT?

It will not hamper anything. As Prod is on RTM and UAT is on highr version. You can always migrate from lower version to higher version without any issues. Make sure that you detach the database from UAT SharePoint environment and then resotre the PROD
DB to UAT SQL and then attach that DB to UAT SharePoint. This will updgrade the database to appropriate SharePoint version.
Please ensure that you mark a question as Answered once you receive a satisfactory response.

How to Copy Production/Live Environment Data into Staging Environment?

I have been given the task to go into the Production/Live Environment within SharePoint and copy the data and place it into the staging environment. I have been told the Staging data is older.
I have no idea how to do this. The Staging Environment uses different site collection URLs. I only want to copy the data so links and everything wont take me to the production site.
I am a new admin.

Hi,
If you just copy a site collection from Production environment to Staging environment, you can backup the site collection in Production then restore in Staging.
Back up a site collection:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748609(v=office.14).aspx
Restore a site collection:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748630(v=office.14).aspx
If the web application only has this site collection or you want to copy the web application, you can deattach the database of the web application in Production then attach it in Staging.
Or, you can find a third party tool to do it.
Thanks,
Wendy

Synchronizing Updates on a Staging Table

Please help me out with the resolving the following issue:
A load script is running for moving records from a data file to a staging table.
After this script completes, there is a code to update two fields of the staging table.
To do this the shell script runs a script (generate_ranges.sql). It takes a parameter of 5000000. It creates ranges based on this passed in number upto the total number of rows in the staging table. So say the staging table has 65,000,000 rows.
This script will create a file that looks like the following (when 5000000 is passed in):
1 | 5000000
5000001 | 10000000
10000001 | 15000000
15000001 | 20000000
20000001 | 25000000
25000001 | 30000000
30000001 | 35000000
35000001 | 40000000
40000001 | 45000000
45000001 | 50000000
50000001 | 55000000
55000001 | 60000000
60000001 | 65000000
The script goes on to read the data file for each row and it calls a shell script and passes in each range. So in this case there are 13 ranges. What is happening is there are 13 seperate updates on the staging table happening in the background.
The first update rows 1 - 5000000, the second rows 5000001 - 10000000 etc.
So there are 13 updates happenng behind the scenes.
The problem is that there is no way for the script to know that all updates are completed successfully before proceeding automatically. Right now I manually check to see that that all updates completed and then I restart the script at the next step. However we want to code to ensure that all the updates are done automatically and then move on in the script. So we need a way to count the number of candidate updates ( right now 13 but could be 14 or more in future) and know that all "x" updates completed, it may be the case that update (1-5000000) is taking 30 mins and the next update ( 5000001 - 10000000) is taking 35 mins, all updates iare running parallely, and only when after the 13 parallel updates are complete, the script can proceed with subsequent steps.
So please help me out with fixing this problem programmatically.
Thanks for your cooperation in advance.
Regards,
Ayan.

Ayan,
Are you really sure you want to update 65 million rows ?
Alternative: create table as select <columns with 2 columns updated> from staging table;
While using this approach, you probably don't need to split the update.

Rob.

Problems with System Update 3.14.0019 after installation SP2

Have you encountered problems with System Update 3.14.0019 after installation SP2 for Windows Vista?
After this upgrade I view this error: "An error occurred while gathering user information."
Thanks for the help

A known issue. It wasn't supposed to be supported until SP2 is RTM. However, look at the stickied post in the forum for some bad news about SU.

Unable to update SharePoint List Programmatically in SharePoint Online - Anonymous Login

We are unable to programmatically update SharePoint lists with Anonymous access in Office 365 - SharePoint Online site. That is, in a public facing SharePoint Online Site, we have a Contact Us Page and when submitted, we would like to store that item in
a List and then also a trigger an e-mail notification? We are unable to do that using SPServices or CSOM because the code is not firing as the user is logged in anonymously. How do we do this?

Update SharePoint list programatically twice a day with SQL 2008 r2

How complicate is to sustain the update SharePoint list programatically twice a day by using SQL job?
the data need to be update twice a day and it is going o be use to feed a share point form...where the user(S) will be choosing by lookup in infopath form.
BTW..I do not have control of the SharePoint farm, I have MS SQL 2008 R2 and SharePoint version is 2010.
Or Also I am considering to use MS access 2010 and SharePoint version is 2010.

StoreKit in App payments staging environment working outside the USA?

Hi All,
When developing an application with payment functionality using the new StoreKit framework available in iPhoneOS v3.0 we have found the following issues.
I was wondering if anyone else has come across the same issues.
Here is the list:
1) Using iTunes connect we created several test users one for each of the appStores in which we want to sell the application. In our case USA and The Netherlands. When signing in on to those accounts either in iTunes or on the iPhone we are asked to review the account data and supply the credentials for some means of payment. Further more those credentials have to be unique. I can not use a credit card that I am already using on another account. Has anyone else encountered this problem? And if so was there a solution work around for it?
Our understanding based on the documentation is that the accounts created via iTunes Connect for in app payment testing connect the requests of the StoreKit to a staging environment at apple in which the flow of the payments is emulated but no charges issued. So why is the credit card needed then?
2) We managed to set up an account with valid means of payment for our region(NL). We sign in with that account on the iPhone, that account is registered in iTunes Connect as a test account. When testing the application we are presented after the acceptance of payment pop-up with a screen that is asking us to log on. That is all fine, the issue is that we never manage to log on. After that we get asked to review oour account information the application under development quits and we are put in front of a web view that keeps on loading but loads nothing. Basically a blank screen with a spinner. After a bit it re-asks to log on, and it does so for ever.
3) For last and not least since we have to supply payment credentials for each zone we need a credit card or a bank account in each of those areas. Without valid payment credentials there is no way of indicating that we want to have no payment credentials associated with that account. Is there any way out of this loop?
Thanking you all in advance.

We're having the exact same problem developing in Canada. Has anyone else come across this issue? the error code we get is:
Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=0 UserInfo=0x47e11f0 "Cannot connect to iTunes Store"
Which doesn't help much..

LMS Staging Environment Flash Error

Recently at my company we experimented with using a flash video to launch a webhelp program in our LMS. We are getting the following error:
“The following application (flash file) is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location (LMS staging environment). To let this application communicate with the Internet click Settings."
The .swf launch is working sporadically for some IT users. Cyber Security has not had success launching it on any of their machines (which are more open than most) and have confirmed that it is not an issue on their end.
We are at a loss for what is causing the error. Any insight would be most appreciated.

Termstore changes are not getting reflected in the list items in SharePoint 2010 farm environment

Hi,
I had created managed metadata with termstores from central admin. Then I had created one list in which added a column of type managed metadata using the managed metadata which I had created. And also added few list items to this list.
The problem is that after updating a termstore the changes are not reflecting in the list items which were added before the update.
I have referred the following links:
http://www.paulgrimley.com/2011/02/managed-metadata-changes-not-applied-to.html
http://davidfrette.wordpress.com/2010/05/26/taxonomy-update-scheduler%C2%A0timer%C2%A0job/
According to the links we need to run Taxonomy Update Scheduler on the server for updated termstore to get reflected. After running
this scheduler on development environment changes are getting reflected but not working on the production environment.
Kindly help!
Regards, Shruti

You should check the obvious. You made the change in dev, but did you make the change in production too? And, is the term you updated, actually the one that you are looking at in the list item?
There is not much, if anything, that can go wrong with that timer job. so I'd guess that the term you are looking at is not the one you think you are updating.
If you have double checked everything (the term is is in fact the same term id), then you may have something erroring in the update process. In this case, you should check the ULS logs for any errors.

Scrip to update Sharepoint Online content type

I have a content type "TestContentType" with three columns:
Document Type
Category
Sub-category
This content type is used on 18 document libraries, in 3 site collections.
The Category column needs to have a "description" added which currently has no description. Is there a way to achieve this via a script so I don't have to make change manually via the UI.
So far I have come up with the following script, but this so far only lists all list and document libraries. What I actually need is to be able to get the content type in this case "TestContentType" and then update the "Category" column
to include a description:
$loadInfo1 = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Client")
$loadInfo2 = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime")
$webUrl = Read-Host -Prompt "HTTPS URL for the SP Online 2013 site"
$username = Read-Host -Prompt "Email address login"
$password = Read-Host -Prompt "Password for $username" -AsSecureString
$ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($webUrl)
$ctx.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($username, $password)
$web = $ctx.Web
$lists = $web.Lists
$ctx.Load($lists)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
$lists| select -Property Title
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This isn't the best way to do it, which would be manipulating SharePoint through the CSOM, however you can automate IE so that it runs through a series of actions.
The nice way would be to use something like the client-side code here:
https://sharepointpowershell.codeplex.com/
I don't have the time to dig into it at the moment but i'd try to merge that CSOM approach with something like this script:
http://get-spscripts.com/2010/11/add-and-remove-site-content-types-from.html which uses the on-prem version.
