UPRE to replicate User Profiles and Managed Metadata to High Availability backup farm

I'm working on a HA project, and have been tasked with replicating our User Profiles and Metadata to a newly created farm. I'll call the current production farm FarmA and the new HA farm FarmB. I've installed SharePoint2010AdministrationToolkit on FarmB,
and used SPDiag to generate my first report on FarmB.
We're not using MySites.
I'm looking at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj891109(v=office.15).aspx and have some questions. Anything I do on FarmA will be done thought a Change Control, and I want to be able to answer questions intelligently.
Does SharePoint2010AdministrationToolkit and UPRE have to be installed on FarmA and FarmB?
Does enabling DTC create any security concern? Or performance hit? I haven't done this before.
Any documented risks with using the replicator?
Are scheduled replications typically 1 weekly full with nightly incrementals?
Anything the replication won't copy over to FarmB? Like Synchronization Connections, or additional/custom fields?
How are GUIDs handled?
Sorry to pack 6 questions into one post ;)
Thanks,
Scott

To answer the first question this is what MS says: The User Profile Replication Engine can be installed on any computer that has access to the source User Profile service application and destination User Profile service application. However, we recommend
that you install the User Profile Replication Engine on a computer that is part of the source farm or on a computer that is connected to the subnet of the source domain. The User Profile Replication Engine uses the SharePoint Server 2010 User Profile and User
Profile Change Log to read and write data between user profile stores. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc663011(v=office.15).aspx And to answer 4th question its true but full sync will only be required initially and only when there is org changes
most of the time its incremental. To my knowledge FULL replication will bring all the details but not sure though.

Firefox V33.0 can't find user profile and cant view window content

Hello
I have used Firefox since the old days, wayyy back. Never an issue, always worked, always performed.
My Firefox (v32 I believe), automatically downloaded and applied the v33 browser and immediately, everything went wrong...
First, the browser loaded but the screen was either sheet black or sheet white, then reloading (after closing the window) was informed (only via the window title as all else was block black) that Firefox couldn't see a user profile.
I loaded FF with safe mode and disabled everything (list of addons at the bottom of this post), and the browser loads now and I can see content, but then after only a minute in "safe mode" firefox persistently returned with either a fatal crash or a sudden inability to find the user profile (causing exit).
Reading up about possible workarounds, I eventually managed to export the Profile data (to desktop), to clear the profile data and replace data with desktop copy. Clearing the data took several attempts due to firefox display only showing black or white as stated above, but firefox then couldn't "import" profile as I can't see whats going on in the window.
Eventually manually installed profile data (from desktop automatic copy) to firefox but FF still persisted in crashing to desktop and not displaying correctly if not in Safe mode. I eventually uninstalled firefox and reinstalled from scratch. The reinstall persisted with all the above mentioned issues, I did manually reinstate the FF user profile and crashing to desktop is now rare but does still happen, now it usually happens when Firefox is not the current active window.
Firefox still does not display correctly unless in the "Safe Mode".
Any clues or help or suggestion about why this would happen? Any way I can revert to version 32?
My Addons :
No Services.
Appearance, default only
PLUGINS:
VLC plugin 2.1.3.0
Silverlight plugin 5.1.3
shockwave flash 15.0.0
Quicktime plugin 7.7.5
Java platform SE7 U67 10.
Google Update (disabled)
Adobe Acrobat 11.0.9
EXTENSIONS:
British Dictionary (not compatible with v33!!, disabled)
Colorzilla 2.8.1
cssUpdater 0.5.2 (disabled)
Dust-Me Selector [for CSS] 4.1
Firebug 2.0.3 (and associated FireDiff, FirePHP, EventBug)
enabling / disabling all/any of these does not (so far) change the graphical fault loading Firefox outside of Safe Mode.
Any ideas?
cheers
P.S>As additional info: I have tried the "reset firefox" but this caused numerous little bugs with saving the profile user data. Also reseting did not fix any of the issues.
Everything else on my computer works fine. No virus, no malware (Eset / MWBytes) all other programs fine, and FF was fine until V33!!

Assign User Profiles and Web Interface Transactions to Users

Hi EM Gurus,
Has anyone worked with not standard scenarios in SCEM?
They are working well but I can't access them on interface web.
In selection page (search page after logon), where choose tracking scenarios, only standard scenarios appear although I have assigned both scenarios to the user and made same configuration; Assigned and Defined Web Interface Transactions, Configured Fields for User Profiles, Defined User Profiles, Assigned User Profiles and Web Interface Transactions to Users.
But only Standard Scenarios appear as choice of tracking scenarios that are displayed to the user as a dropdown box on the selection screen after logging on to the Web interface.
Has anyone accessed not standard scenarios on interface web??
Help, please!
Thanks a lot.
Rodrigo Freitas

Hello Rodrigo,
if you have assigned the scenarios to your user in transaction /SAPTRX/UCUSER you must go to the admin page and reload the profile manager.
/admin in the URL of the WCL instead /ehsearch.
Afterwards you should see them also in the drop-down box.
Best regards,
Steffen

How to disable Switch Profile and Auxilliary Metadata set on UCM checkin screen?

We are using webcenter content 11.1.1.6 with Record Management component installed on top of it
While trying to checkin a new document from a normal checkin screen or from Manage attachments screen two options come at the top 'Switch Profile and Auxilliary Metadata set'
How can these options be disabled?

Hi,
The xExternalDataSet is already an empty string on the check in page
When i append &IsJava=1, the variables have these values
xExternalDataSet=
xExternalDataSet:isInfoOnly=1
xExternalDataSet:isSetDefault=1
Isn't there a config variable for this, as I see this component has come as part of record management but no option to disable when I configure record management

Limit user selection on Managed Metadata?

Hi all,
Is there an OOTB solution on limiting users view on Managed Metadata column?
For example, I have Group A and Group B. And the metadata is like so:
MyTermStore
-> Group A
-> Term A1
-> Group B
-> Term B1
-> Group C
-> Term C1
Group A can see "Group A" and "Group C". Group B can see "Group B" and "Group C".
Based on what I researched there is no OOTB way to do it currently. I would just like to confirm it? The only alternative I see is maybe custom development.
Thank you!

Yes - this was the first set of information the OP dumped from his system. About line 5 of the post.
But I do wonder whether the 9.2.0.6 (not latest patch) makes a difference? Or perhaps the connect time is being used as part of a composite limit.

User Profile Services start in all sharepoint servers in farm

Hi,
Do we need to start the below services in all sharepoint servers in farm?
1) User Profile Service
2) User Profile Synchronization Service
Thanks....

Hi,
The Web Front end Server is the server that is hosting IIS and serves the websites.
An Application Server has services on it, for example, like Excel services, Project server, etc..
A database server simply hosts the SharePoint core db's and the other Content databases.. It just has SQL Server installation on it.
You only need to start the User Profile Service and User Profile Synchronization Service in the Application Server in farm.

User Profile Application and Managed Metadata services are missing

Running SharePoint 2013 servers on a set of 2012 R2 Servers. One of our farm administrators deleted the Secure Store service account. They recreated the Secure Store account, but after doing so, the Managed Metadata Service and User Profile Service
are now unavailable.
When going to the User Profile Page, there is an error that says "Sorry, something went wrong."
When going to the Metadata page, there is an error that says "The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available."
There is an additional error that says "The Security Token Service is not available."
How can all three services be brought back online?

That specific event log error is as follows:

High Availability, User Profiles, and UPRE

I'm setting up High Availability using Metalogix Replicator to mirror the Content DBs. There's a Primary (current production SP2010 environment) and a Secondary environment. Both consist of a WFE, SQL, and APP server.
User Profiles are set up on both. I created the Secondary environments by copying Profile, Social, and Synch DBs from the Primary SQL server, and creating the UP using the same DB names.
Since then, we have created new Audiences and new User Profile settings.
So the two choices are:
1. Manually update both environments.
2. Use UPRE to keep them synchronized. I've looked over
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc663011(v=office.14).aspx and it seems like a good solution.
I'm not sure whether to use synchronous or asynchronous. I was also wondering if anyone has experience with setting this up, and if there's any chance that I'll mess up my current Primary User Profile service/synch by using UPRE.
Has anyone been down this road? Is this what I'm looking for?
Thanks,
Scott

> I'm setting up High Availability using Metalogix Replicator to mirror the Content DBs
Wouldn't recommend it. It makes schema changes to the databases and is completely unsupported by Microsoft.
UPRE would be appropriate.

Sharepoint 2013 - Active Directory Import User Profile Property manager fields

Hi there,
I juste encountered actually a little issue regarding the Active Directory Import User Profil.
Importation seems to work well but I have a little problem regarding the Manager field.
When I verify a user profil through the sharepoint admin page ("Manage user profil") , I can see the manager field is correctly populated, but if I want to check my profil as a user (personal information), the manager field is not visible.
With Sharepoint Admin and Manage Profil Properties, I haven't the possibility to modify some settings for the manager.
For example, Policy parameters is greyed.
The only way I found to show this field in a user profil is to give the permission "allow users to Edit values ...".... setting I don't want to set.
Have you already this sort of issue ?
Thanks for your help/idea.

Hi Michael,
I don't remember well what I did exactly regarding this issue because I played a lot with user profil.
I know I used this powershell script from Sheyia which in fact help me a lot to clean and create a good profil setting.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sheyia/archive/2013/10/09/sharepoint-2013-another-way-to-change-order-for-user-profile-properties-via-powershell.aspx
For example, this script help me to resolve some double entries.
Let-me know if it help you (or not of course)

In a document library : group by view and manage metadata filter & Navigation problem

Hi all, I encounter a problem when configuring a document library using a group by view and in combination with the Managed Metadata filtering and
navigation :
- all the documents appear under my group by, even the ones that does not correspond
- In the other hand, the number in brackets shows the correct number of documents that should be shown
See screenshot below.
Did you already encounter that issue ? Is there a workaround ?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use a group by view and combine with the Managed Metadata filtering and navigation in a document library
to show the corresponding documents with the correct numbers in SharePoint 2013.
In my SharePoint 2013, I created a view which was group by two columns and combine with the Metadata Navigation Hierarchies and Key Filters some fields in a document
library. As a result, it showed only items matching the filter values.
So, I recommend that you can follow the steps to implement it in your environment.
Step1: Enable Metadata Navigation and Filtering:
Metadata Navigation and Filtering is a Site Feature that has to be activated for this to work.
And, the Metadata Navigation and Filtering feature is enabled by default on most sites.
If it is not enabled for your site, you can enable it on the Site Features pages for your site.
You must be a Site Owner or a Site Collection Administrator to enable Metadata Navigation and Filtering.
1. Go to “Site Settings” and click “Manage site features” under Site Actions.
2. Find “Metadata Navigation and Filtering” in the Features list and click “Activate”.
Step2:
Configure Metadata Navigation:
You must have a least the Manage Lists permission level to configure metadata navigation for a list or library.
1. Open the document library for which you want to configure metadata navigation.
2. Go to “Library Settings” of the document library and click “Metadata navigation settings” under “General Settings”.
3. In the Configure Navigation Hierarchies section, select the field or fields you want to display in the navigation hierarchy and then click “Add”.
4. By default, Folders are automatically displayed in the navigation hierarchy. If you do not want folders to display, select Folders, and then click Remove.
5. In the Configure Key Filters section, select the fields you want to add as Key Filters, and then click “Add”.
6. In the Configure automatic column indexing for this list, specify whether you want to automatically create indices on this list to increase the performance of the
queries that users will perform when they use the Navigation Hierarchy and Key Filter columns you've specified. It is recommended that you select the option “Automatically manage column indices on this list”.
7. Click “OK”.
Step3: Set a group by two columns by modifying view in the document library:
1. Go to the “LIBRARY” ribbon of the document library and click the “Modify view”.
2. Click the “Group By” and select up to two columns to determine what type of group and subgroup the items in the view will be displayed in.
3. Click “OK”.
Step4:
Go back to the document library, apply Navigation Hierarchies and Key Filters to do a test in your environment.
The result will like as below:
There is an article about how to apply Metadata Navigation Filtering in SharePoint 2013 for your reference.
