Using SharePoint (2013) groups in SSRS

We had a report deployed in SharePoint 2007 that identified which SharePoint Group the user was in and used this in a parameter in the report. This used the method suggested in this question: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/c6ce0af7-2467-4ed8-8833-9bad438a28ad/how-to-get-sharepoint-group-in-ssrs?forum=sqlreportingservices
Following an upgrade to SharePoint 2013, this no longer functions. The error refers to the specific dataset using the query suggested and returns a 'Soap Fault: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error'.
I would guess that I need to direct the <SoapAction> to look in another location, but I can't see any obvious location to look in.
Suggestions for the correct location, or other solution, would be helpful.
Thanks
Ray

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use SharePoint 2013 hosted in Office 365 to power Portal Authentication-type experience.
Per my knowleadge, configuring SSO helps you to enforce your organization's password policies and account restrictions in both your on-premises directory and your Office 365 directory.
For more information, you can refer to:

Regarding SharePoint Online, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in Office 365 forum.

Upgrade SharePoint 2007 SSRS integrated mode to SharePoint 2013 Reporting Service (SSRS-2014)

Hi
We are upgrading a SP-2007 site with SSRS integrated reports to SP-2013 and SSRS-2014. As there are many changes done in SP-2013, I would like to know if any of the existing SP-2007 reporting service database need to upgraded to SP-2013 or just upgrading
the SP-2007 content database to SP-2013 and creating a new Reporting Service application will be working fine?
Thanks,
Pat

You'll want to do a few things:
Export the encryption key from the SSRS Configuration application in SharePoint 2007.
Migrate the content database from SharePoint 2007 SP2+ to SharePoint 2010, to finally SharePoint 2013.
Install SSRS 2012 SP1+ on SharePoint 2013.
Migrate the SSRS databases to the SharePoint 2013 SQL Server.
Create a new SSRS Service Application in SharePoint 2013 using the same named databases on the new SQL Server.
Import the encryption key to the SSRS SA.

Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work

User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates
- Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work
Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Security/Trust Center/Trusted Locations
- Allow Trusted Locations on the network:
Enabled
- Trusted Location #1:
Enabled
Path: //server/sharedfoldername [Edit: Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
Date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Allow sub folders: Enabled
The policy appears to apply to the client correctly by adding the following registry key and values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\security\trusted locations\location1
allowsubfolders: 1
date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Path: //server/sharedfoldername [Edit: Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
However, when you open Word Options/Trust Centre/Trust Centre Settings…/Trusted Locations
There are no trusted locations listed under ‘Policy Locations’
I have tried setting similar settings for setting the Shared Templates folder location and just like the trusted locations policy, the registry keys are created properly in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies however word doesn’t
seem to recognize these either.
This used to work flawlessly using the administrative templates for Word 2007 and 2010. Has anyone been able to get these policies to apply successfully, or know why office doesn’t recognize these settings from the Policies registry
Key?

This would have been an easy solution to the issue. Unfortunately it isn't the problem. This question was originally posted on another Microsoft site and
was transferred here and when it was transferred the path's changed from the original post:
\\server\sharedfodlername to //server/sharedfoldername. (I will edit the question to show up as it did in the original post) Not sure how that happened. This
is still an issue that I haven't been able to get working correctly.
As it turns out the 'New from Template' interface Word 2013 has developed is very bulky with large thumbnails and is not very customizable nor practical for an office
that has a large number of templates. Because I am unsatisfied with the display and performance of the 'New' template chooser I sought after a solution to change the way word creates a document from a template in another thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/how-can-you-change-the-display-of-templates-in/d49194b9-a6b4-4768-8502-7d7b50e9dd65 working through this issue with Jay we were able to develop
some VB script with handles a very large number of templates in a list view and it works much faster than the built-in Word interface. The above thread is how I've worked around trying to define a shared template location and I am quite happy with it.

Do we require to install microsoft excel in sharepoint 2013 server?. if require to use sharepoint 2013 excel services.
In our organisation, development team is asking to install office 2013 in SharePoint 2013 server to use different services, where as architecture team not allowing for the same. I need to provide proper justification for installing office 2013 in SharePoint
2013 server. Please provide me the correct solution for the same.

No, you do not need to install Office on the SharePoint server to utilize the Excel Services. Office should not be installed on the SharePoint server.
Do they need Office Web Apps? Are they looking to have the capability to edit documents in the browser maybe? Or have document preview on search? Office Web Apps would be required for this, but this is a different product than Office.

Update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow

Hi,
We have a requirement to update a column value once the item has been approved.
Following settings have been made in the publishing articles list:
Require content approval for submitted items : yes
Create major and minor (draft) versions
Who should see draft items in this document library? :Only users who can edit items
Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? : yes
I have createdatu a Sharepoint 2013 workflow to check if Approval sts of current item = 0 i.e. Approved , then check out and update the item and finally checkin the item. Everything works fine till this point except that the minor version of the item is
checked in. Due to this the updated columns are not published to others.
Also, I created a Sharepoint 2010 workflow to SET CONTENT APPROVAL = APPROVED and started this workflow from my list workflow above, but the item does not get checked-in and always shows "In Progress" status with comment "The item is currently
locked for editing. Waiting for item to be checked in or for the lock to be released.".
Please let me know where I am missing out so that once the item is approved, column value gets updated and current item is still in Approved status.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow.
You will get into this kind of Catch-22 situation trying to set the Content Approval Status in SharePoint Designer workflow:
- You must check out the document before you can change the Content Approval Status
- You can't change the Content Approval Status once the document in checked out
Since you set the Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited=Yes, you will need to check out the document when run the workflow on the item. But you cannot approve a document when it is checked
out. So the logic in workflow conflicts.
As a workaround, you can use the Start Another Workflow action to start the normal Approval workflow on the document. The built-in Approval workflow can work with a document that’s not checked out.
The designer approval workflow also can work with a document that’s not checked out.
You can create two workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013.
First, create a SharePoint 2010 platform workflow.
Then, create a SharePoint 2013 platform workflow.
Then when the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow start, it will start the SharePoint 2010 platform workflow to set content approval status, then the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow will update current item value.

Add datetime property to "MetaInfo" field using SharePoint 2013 CSOM

When uploading a file along with metadata using SharePoint FP RPC (using the "method= put document") it allows me to properly add datetime properties. My metainfo looks like this:
"MetaInfo":"...MyCustomDate:TW|05 Jan 2015 12:58:31 -0000\r\n..."
Then later on, when I try to update "MyCustomDate" property from the "MetaInfo" field using CSOM, it fails while updating it. (In this case I am using CSOM because I am updating some more fields and I want to avoid extra round-trips)
After that update my metainfo looks like this:
"MetaInfo":"...MyCustomDate:FX|0x01d028e7|0x4d1c4880\r\n..."
Does anyone know why?, is there any workaround?
Thanks

Hi,
If you want to add datetime property to "MetaInfo" field using SharePoint 2013 CSOM, the following code snippet for your reference:
using (ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://yourserver/"))
context.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "password", "domain");
List list = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Documents");
ListItem oListItem = list.GetItemById(1);
oListItem["MetaInfo"] = "MyCustomDate:TW|08 Jan 2015 12:58:31 -0000";
oListItem.Update();
context.ExecuteQuery();

Using Sharepoint 2013 with SSRS native mode !

Hi there !
We have 2 servers A & B. A is Sharepoint server and on B we have installed SSRS in native mode. Server C is database. We are not looking to use SharePoint Integration mode but We are planning to use native mode only !
We are looking for a way to make A & B talk as how a report hosted on B will show up on A since its not in integrated mode?
Can you please let us know of the proper steps to deploy this?
Thanks in Advance !

the "integration" between SP and SSRS native mode is basically an IFrame.
you should be able to find the RS native mode integration solution file (which is just two webparts, the report manager web part, and report viewer web part) somewhere on the SQL server / media... should still work with SP2013.
Keep in mind that SharePoint's authentication will be COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT AND UNUSED when accessing the reports... an iFrame is just another web request made by the browser.

Sharepoint 2013 - Group task assignment from a workflow

I have designed a workflow, that can be started manually on a folder in SharePoint documents on a team site.
I would like the workflow to start, assign a task to a SharePoint group, and then have that task show up in the members of that groups Outlook.
I am able to assign tasks to a single user and have the task show up in an outlook task list.
However, when assigning to a SharePoint group, the tasks do not seem to show up in the outlook task lists.
Is this an impossibility, or is there a way to make this work?
Thanks,
Products in Use:
SharePoint Designer 2013
Visio 2013
(If needed I have visual studio, but would rather avoid it if possible. I am a programmer, but new to visual studio)

Hi Brandon,
If you are using “Start a task process” in workflow, please make sure that the “ExpandGroup” is Set to yes. Then the task will be generated for every member in the group. Please check if the task has been generated with members.
Here are some settings you should ensure:
All members have mailbox enabled in Exchange side.
The setting for “task show up in an Outlook task list” is the same for all members.
If it still doesn’t work, try it on SharePoint 2010 workflow. And also provide more information about your workflow and settings.

How to use Sharepoint 2013 img file

Hi,
I downloaded Sharepoint 2013 as an img file. I am trying to install it on VMWare 5.1 which only accepts ISO files. How can I convert the img file to ISO or what other workarounds are available?
I already tried renaming the file to ISO, but it didn't work.
Thanks

Hi WaelS,
If you want to use img file in VMWare, you may need to convert the img file to ISO, as VMWare doen't support img file.
Please do as the followings to convert the img file to iso:
1. Unzip the files
2. Open a command prompt (Start > Run > type cmd, press Enter)
3. Browse to the folder where the unzipped files are (cd "c:\Windows ISO Files")
4. Considering that you are in the folder containing the files command prompt, type
       copy /b file1+file2+file3+file4+file5 file.iso
4a. Check that the files have no extension. If they have, the command changes to something like:
       copy /b file1.ext+file2.ext+file3.ext+file4.ext+file5.ext file.iso
4b. If there aren't *any* other files in the folder, typing this should be enough:
       copy /b *.* dvd_file.iso
If you still have question about the issue, I suggest you can post a thread in corresponding forum, you will get more helpful information from there.

Get/retreive managed metadata column value from Document Library using SharePoint 2013 JSOM

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve managed metadata column (NewsCategory) value in SharePoint 2013 Document library using JSOM.
I get "Object Object" rather than actual value.
I tried:-
var newsCat = item.get_item('NewsCategory');
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object]
var newsCatLabel = newsCat.get_label();
var newsCatId = newsCat.get_termGuid();
But, I get the error "Object doesn't support property or method get_label()"
I also tried :-
var newsTags = item.get_item(' NewsCategory ');
for (var i = 0; i < newsTags.get_count() ; i++) {
var newsTag = newsTags.getItemAtIndex(i);
var newsTagLabel = newsTag.get_label();
var newsTagId = newsTag.get_termGuid();
Even now I get the error "Object doesn't support property or method get_count()"
I have included " NewsCategory " in the load request:- context.load(items, 'Include(File, NewsCategory)');
Any idea what the issue is? Do I have to add any *.js file using $.getScript?
I added following .js files
var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Core.js", function () {
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Patrick,
I already added those references. I just pasted the parts of script snippet in my initial post. To avoid confusion I am pasting here complete script.
2.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Core.js", function () {
function getdata() {
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle('Documents');
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
var filterCategory = 'Solutions';
var IDfromTaxonomyHiddenList = 15;
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef LookupId="TRUE" Name="'+filterCategory+'" /><Value Type="ID">' + IDfromTaxonomyHiddenList +'</Value></Eq></Where></Query></View>');
/*the above CAML query successfully gets all the list items matching the criteria including "NewsCategory" managed metadata column values
But when I try to display the value it retrieved it ouputs/emits Object Object rather than actual values */
var items = list.getItems(camlQuery);
context.load(items, 'Include(File,NewsCategory)');
context.executeQueryAsync(
Function.createDelegate(this, function (sender, args) {
if (items.get_count() > 0) {
var listItemEnumerator = items.getEnumerator();
while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
var file = oListItem.get_file();
var name = file.get_name();
var newsCat = oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory'); alert(newsTags.constructor.getName());
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object]
var newsCatLabel = newsCat.get_label(); // Here it errors out with message "Object doesn't support property or method get_label()"
var newsCatId = newsCat.get_termGuid();
} //end while
}//end if
Function.createDelegate(this, function (sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getdata, "SP.Core.js");
</script>
In the above script "var name = file.get_name(); " gets the exact file name.
But the line "var newsCat = item.get_item('NewsCategory');
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object] rather than actual value.
Issue resolved replace "oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory');" with oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory').get_label();"
Thanks

Using SharePoint 2013 Document Library for Office 2010 Workgroup Templates

Dear all,
we are about to introduce SharePoint 2013 and are looking for a way to use it as location for our Office 2010 workgroup templates. But when I try to configure it with in Word options it tells me that URLs are not allowed here.
I've searched this forum but saw no thread that has a solution so far.
So I just want to know if anyone implemented this feature or even has an idea that could work...
Thank you in advance,
Uwe

Hi,
Based on my tested in my environment ( Word 2010 & Share Point 2013), we can't point to the SharePoint library URL directly with Workgroup Templates.
Please try the workaround:
Sync the SharePoint site libraries to local disk.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/sync-onedrive-for-business-or-sharepoint-site-libraries-to-your-computer-HA102832401.aspx
Set the Workgroup Template to a local drive (to create the reg key)
Open regedit and set the location to the mapped drive:
Setting Name: SharedTemplates (Type REG_SZ)
Reg Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\General

Sharepoint 2013 only supports SSRS 2008 or 2008 R2?

I have Installed SQL Server 2012 and then Installed sharepoint 2013.
When I go to the central administration under General Application Settings, at the very bottom I can see "SQL Server Reporting Services (2008 and 2008 R2)"
Does that mean it would not support SSRS 2012? I am having issues to get SSRS 2012 integration with SP2013.

So update is, I have removed
Reporting Services - Native
Reporting Services – SharePoint
Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint products.
Management Tools
and
Re-installed all of them on a separate instance for e.g. [NEWINSTANCE]
I can see Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services service" in Sharepoint Central Admin and it
is "started".
Now when I try to "Add a report server to the Integration" Or if I try "Reporting Services Integration", I get following error.
Report Server WMI Provider error: Invalid namespace
The Service URL is http://MYSERVER/ReportServer_NEWINSTANCE
Any Ideas? its been a week I am trying to work this out....
Do I really need Reporting services - Native parallel to Reporting Service - Sharepoint? if not then how would I configure Reporting Services - Sharepoint to get the Service URL etc?

Hi,
From your description, I understand you want to design a page with form and store contact information into tables of SQL Server database with this page.
In SharePoint, I suggest that you store contact information with OOB Contacts List.

Using SharePoint 2013 OIP the "Title" column is not displayed

Using the SharePoint 2013 OIP against our SharePoint 2013 environment, I am seeing that the "Title" column is never displayed in any of the activities or published data. This is the only limitation that is preventing me from using this OIP.
Currently using the scorch OIP and am concerned that it seems is not being actively maintained. Which by the way shows the Title column in all the same lists I am connecting to with the Microsoft provided OIP.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide,
Jim

Hi Jim, this is something I've seen before. It may be a bug in the SharePoint 2013 IP, though it does work in some cases and not in others, so difficult to say what the cause is. My recommendation is to change your list to make the default Title column optional
and hidden, and use a new custom field for the name of the item instead. See also:

Power Pivot 2013 Using SharePoint 2013 List as Source Data

Background: On a SharePoint 2013 site, there are lists that have the exact same columns but due to their size I had to create a different list for each year.
These are essentially my data lists or tables that end users enter data into. These lists have look up columns in them, referencing columns from look up lists or tables located on the same site.
Goals:
1) Create a Power Pivot Gallery on SharePoint 2013 that is able to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature using the SharePoint 2013 List data that is on the same SharePoint 2013 site.
2) Combine all the data lists/tables into one table once in Power Pivot 2013. The Look Up lists/tables will remain separate.
Challenge: Being able to merge or do a union query to the "data lists" and still maintain the ability to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature.
This is a tactical, quick fix solution, and I
cannot use SQL Server and am operating under the assumption that I do not have Access Services 2013 as an option.
Failed Attempt #1: What I already tried was linking the lists to an Access 2013 database and did a Union query from Power Pivot which merged the data from the different data tables
as I wanted it to. Then I uploaded that Access Database to a document library on that same site, thinking that I could maintain the ability to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature but I was wrong.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers, Johnny
Johnny

You can connect to SharePoint Lists using Power Query (and of course Union multiple Lists and more using Pwer Query) - but Automatic refresh would not work with SharePoint. Power BI (Cloud service) allows auto refresh of Power Query, but not on SharePoint.
Hopefully some day soon.
