Work Manager Configuration Issue with SharePoint 2013

Hi,
We are facing issue to configure the Workflow Manager with SharePoint 2013.
===========================================================
Please provide any solution/inputs to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you configured Workflow Manager for SharePoint 2013.
For resolving your issue, please do as the followings:
1.Start -> Programs -> Workflow Manager 1.0 -> Workflow Manager Configuration -> Remove from Farm (not to be confused with SharePoint “farm”)
2.Drop SQL databases for Workflow Manager. (SbGatewayDatabase, SbManagementDB, SBMessageContainer01, WFInstanceManagementDB, WFManagementDB, WFResourceManagementDB)
3.Start-> Programs-> Workflow Manager 1.0 -> Workflow Manager Configuration -> Configure Workflow Manager with Default Settings (Recommended)
4.Ran the wizard just like before and it should be completed successfully this time.
More information, please refer to the link below:

I hope this helps.

Issues with SharePoint 2013 after upgrading from windows 2012 to 2012 r2

We have a Sharepoint with Sp1 environment on windows 2012. Recently we upgraded the windows 2012 to 2012 r2. After the upgrade sharepoint environment is completely unstable.
At first all the sites returned 401 errors. After resolving by resetting the object cache accounts the sites are back.
Then i see that none of the performance point dashboards work. I figured that claims to windows token service is defaulted to local system account. I previously configured with a domain account. I reconfigured to work with domain account.
All the dashboard pages throw error.
Some Error logs:Failed to get document content data. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Cannot complete this function at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.GetDocumentContentRow
Application error when access /Dashboards/Performance Dashboard/Main.aspx, Error=The EnableScriptGlobalization property cannot be changed during async postbacks or after the Init event. at System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.set_EnableScriptGlobalization(Boolean
value)
4. I tried to create a new dashboard and this time the performancepoint designer wont launch. After some troubleshooting i see that c2w host file didnot have the caller C:\Program Files\Windows Identity Foundation\v3.5.
I added <add value="WSS_WPG" /> and now it launches
5. Now the Dashboard launches and peruser identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS. I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at the IIS level
yet.
It looks like lot of things got messed up and reset. Can we upgrade to windows 2012 r2 with a sharepoint application inplace. what is the recommended approach and Whats happening with Performancepoint dashboards. IS there a known issue with sharepoint 2013
sp1.
Raj-Shpt

Thanks for the above article. Few issues are solved . One of the main issue is with Performancepoint Dashboard.
I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at
the IIS level yet. Still per user identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS.

Workflow Manager 1.0 with SharePoint 2013

Hi Guys,
I understand as per below link that minimum three servers are required to provide high availability for Workflow Manager 1.0 in SharePoint 2013.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sanjaynarang/archive/2013/04/06/sizing-and-capacity-planning-for-sharepoint-2013-resources.aspx
Could anyone please point me Microsoft resources or let me know what needs to be installed on the three servers and Hardware pre-requisites?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Badal

Hi Badal,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to configure the high availability for Workflow Manager 1.0 with SharePoint 2013.
Per my knowledge, the three servers just have the same Hardware pre-requisites:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193466.aspx
You can use Network Load Balancing (NLB), Application Request Routing (ARR) or slightly less trivial with another load balancing solution to implement the high availability for Workflow Manager.

Office Web Apps Load Balancing Configuration Issue for SharePoint 2013

I have load balanced servers dedicated for Office Web Apps with name “md1xxxwfe1” and “md1xxxwfe2”
, both this servers are load balanced by CISCO Load balancer. And I have mapped Load Balancer Virutal IP with host name officeapps.jda.corp.local in the DNS records.
Things are working fine if I add new farm by using New-OfficeWebAppsFarm
with server name as internalurl in PowerShell console
as like “ -internalurl http://
md1xxxwfe1 but when I use –internalurl officeapps.jda.corp.local it is not working at all. I’m not getting what to do at this point.
I have gone through following blogs but no luck.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/03/27/office-web-apps-2013-multi-servers-nlb-installation-and-deployment-for-sharepoint-2013-step-by-step-guide.aspx

The output of the wfe1 server is attached with this. When I open http:// /hosting/discovery in wfe1 I’m getting following result (attached
screenshot) but it should show hostname rather than server name.
Please help me
Thanks, Ram Ch

Hi Ram ,
For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
Just about any load balancing solution will work, including a server that runs the Web Server (IIS) role running Application Request Routing (ARR):Install
Application Request Routing
Install the certificate on the load balancer as described under Securing Office Web Apps Server communications by using
HTTPS.
Make sure you have configured the cluster correctly for full internet name:

Configuration issue with SP 2013 and SSRS 2012

Hi
I have installed sql server 2013, SP 2013 and PS 2013 in same server. Getting error when i try to configure
Reporting services Integration
and path is Central admin -> General application settings --> Reporting services Integration -->
provided url for Report Server Web Service URL (copied url from Report manager URL in Reporting services configuration manage and verified URL working fine)

Hi Santosh,
I think the Reporting Services integration works with SQL Server 2008/2008 R2. When the SQL Server 2012 is installed, there is an option to install Reporting Services - SharePoint bits. Details can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/jj219068(v=sql.110).aspx
Once the Reporting Services components have been installed you should be able to configure the SQL Server Reporting Service Application and use the Reporting Services content types in your SharePoint libraries
Hope this helps

Office Web Apps Server Name issue with Sharepoint 2013

I have a POC Lab setup for SharePoint/OfficeWebApps with SSL offloading. I am using IIS reverse proxy for my SSL offloader. Most systems can connect to SharePoint and OWA through the Loadbalancer and create documents as desired. The
configuration is as follows:
DNS points:
sharepoint.contoso.com to the reverse proxy address that handles sharepoint.
owa.contoso.com to the reverse proxy address that handles owa.
My OfficeWebApps farm uses an internal and external url of
https://owa.contoso.com and uses ssloffload.
My SPWOPIBinging connects to owa.sharepoint.com (through the reverse proxy) and is configured with the external-https zone.
The name of the OWA server is nyc-owa1.contoso.com.
The issue is as follows:
If I flush my dnscache before connecting to
https://sharepoint.contoso.com, and then use OWA in sharepoint, my client DNS cache will list sharepoint.contoso.com, owa.contoso.com AND nyc-owa1.contoso.com!
Where is is getting the name of the actual owa server?
If I simulate an Internet client that cannot resolve the internal name nyc-owa1.contoso.com, but only the public names of sharepoint.contoso.com and owa.contoso.com, the client cannot successfully edit a new or existing file with OWA, the browser hangs with
Java errors ('SYS' is undefined etc.)
When I add either the real IP address of the server nyc-owa1.contoso.com OR the reverse proxy address for nyc-owa1.contoso.com to a hosts file, the client works normally.
I would like to know how the client is getting the OWA server's name and how to control that behavior.
Thanks for reading this!!

Update Managed Metadata field in SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow for O365

Hi Guys,
I need to update the managed metadata field in SharePoint Custom List using Workflow but its not working. I have also tried to use the HTTP WebService POST Operation but no luck.
Am doing this for a SharePoint Online (O365) Site.
Has anyone worked on something similar and was able to get it running ?
I saw a post to create a custom Workflow Activity but I don't have a choice to go with the custom code option.
http://patrickboom.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/workflow-activity-set-managed-metadata-column/
I was able to achieve this by creating a SP 2010 based Workflow for O365. Which means that it worked well with SP 2010.
Is there a different way to do it in 2013 ? I tried almost all options apart from creating custom Activity but nothing worked out.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Nutan
Nutan Sharma

Hi Nutan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update Managed Metadata field with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint Online.
As far as I know, there is not an OOB action to achieve your requirement with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint 2013. Customizing a workflow action is a better option to achieve it. Why didn’t you customize a workflow action as Patrick’s blog?
In addition, please take a look at the article about Nintex workflow, check whether it is useful for you:
http://habaneroconsulting.com/insights/setting-managed-metadata-fields-in-a-nintex-workflow#.UykBSf6KDHo
As this issue is about SharePoint Online, I suggest you create a new thread on SharePoint Online forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicessharepoint . More experts will assist you.
I hope this helps.

SSRS 2012 report integrated with SharePoint 2013 issue :Report refreshing after some idle time

we have SSRS 2012 report integrated with SharePoint 2013 , when we click on any toggle item after some idle time of 60 secs and try again to expand
another toggle item then complete report is getting refreshed and if we are in child report it is redirecting to parent report. . we didn’t set any refreshing property at report level. I hope there will be some idle time setting at sharepoint site
level.
what we observed.
1. there is no problem when we expand toggle items without any idle time.
2. when we open the report and expand few toggles and keep idle for 60 seconds and try
again to expand another toggle item then complete report is getting refreshed (all toggle items are collapsing).
3. If you keep idle for 60 minutes and if you didn’t do any action like expanding toggle
items it is not refreshing.
why it is happening and how to stop that complete refresh.
Surendra Thota

Hi Surendra,
I have tested on my local environment and the issue can be caused by the session time out ,the time out of the report precessing, database timeout,DataSet query execution timeout and so on.
I would like to confirm that the refresh you have mentioned is the page refresh or the report reloading?
Please reference to the setting below to don't limit the timeout values if you got the report reloading:
Point to a report in the library.
Click the down arrow, and select Manage processing options.
In Processing Time-out, select Do not time out report processing or
Limit report processing in seconds if you want to override that value with no time-out or different time-out values.
If you got the session timeout that refresh the page, please reference to the setting in below article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492284.aspx#bkmk_session_settings_section
Details information in the article below about the timeout setting for your reference:
Set Processing Options (Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated Mode)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with SharePoint 2013 sites hosted in SP2010 compatibility mode?

We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
I found a similar query from March 2014 found here
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281
Has there been an update released to resolve this
Cheers D

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.

Configuring Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with SharePoint 2013

Hello,
There are multiple questions whose clarifications are required.
Situation: Users need to open the documents in browser, check-out, edit, add comments/annotations and check-in without using Client Acrobat Reader.
Based on the above situation, please let me know about the following:
1. Is it mandatory to buy Adobe Acrobat XI Pro license to integrate with SharePoint 2013?
2. Is Office Web Apps Server 2013 cannot provide the functionality as per situation so that i don't need to buy licenses for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
3. If point no 1 is Yes then what is the procedure of configuring/enabling Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with SharePoint 2013.
Thanks.
Sohaib Khan

What are you editing, if the answer is PDFs as a suspect it is then you will need a PDF editor such as Adobe Acrobat on each user's desktop to edit PDFs. OWA isn't a PDF editor as far as i'm aware.
As such you'll need licenses for an editor for each user.
The process for integrating the two is pretty straight forward, you set, either by GPO or individually, the default application for PDFs to be Adobe Acrobat.

Adobe Drive 3 CMIS work with SharePoint 2013? (Getting errors)

Hello guys.
I'm trying to use Adobe Drive 3 with SharePoint 2013 to sync a folder by CMIS without success.
I get a "Drive already mounted" message with an "Invalid location" error. Already tried using rest and soap url's, and on the SharePoint, the CMIS is
enabled as well as the basic authentication (and the credentials are correct).
Here's my Drive log (http://tny.cz/694b8841)
I believe that this is a SharePoint problem maybe, but I don't know what to look at. Can someone help me on this?
And also, is there anyone that have already did this? (Drive 3 + SharePoint 2013 CMIS).
Thanks in advance,
Matheus Barreto.

Found it only work with Asset Libraries type of library on SharePoint, but even this way, on my Windows side I get a error about the drive the Adobe Drive create... My conclusion for now is that it does not work.

Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 Server

Hi All,
I have installed a separate server for Office Web Apps 2013 on Windows Server 2012 VM. I have followed TechNet's article on
Deploying Office Web Apps Server & exactly followed steps.
On SharePoint Server 2013 (Windows Server 2012), I followed TechNet’s article on
Configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint. The Office Web Apps on SharePoint 2013 environment works for
Excel document that shows “View in Browser” but
no Preview.
However, PowerPoint and Word documents doesn’t show “View in Browser”. I thought Internet Explorer 10 has some issue with Office Web Apps and checked on Chrome and results were same.
On SharePoint Server 2013 environment, I have configured 3 services applications, MMS, UPS and Excel Service.
1.) Do I need any other service applications to be enabled for OWA 2013?
I read number of blogs,
Installing Office Web Apps Server for SharePoint 2013 (Steve Mann),
Install Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 (Max Melcher) and Spence Harbar
(Enabling Office Web Apps Preview editing with SharePoint 2013). and all these blogs give more or less same steps that I have followed.
Strange thing is that Excel documents on my SharePoint 2013 sites are working but neither word or PowerPoint documents are not showing option for “View in Browser”.
I am using HTTP and not HTTPS.
2. Can someone please advice how could I solve the Office Web Apps 2010 on Word and PPT?
3. How to can enable preview for Excel, Word and PPT documents.
Thanks you.

Hi Inderjeet and Olafur,
Thanks for your reply.
@Inderjeet: That site collection feature on SP2010 works on our production environment but on SP2013 site collection there is no OWA feature. Microsoft recommends to have a separate OWA2013 server and what I create
a separate VM for OWA2013 server.
@Olafur: Your suggestion looks spot on. The OWA server does show the discovery:
Our SP2013 development server has limited RAM (4GB) and it think is causing the issue.
Let me check if increasing RAM solves the issue.
Thanks again for your suggestions. (Interjeet and Olafur).

Integrate SSRS Native Mode with Sharepoint 2013

Hi, I have read numerous posts that go back and forth on the question "is SSRS Native Mode supported to work with SharePoint 2013?" and it seems like the answer is no, it is not. Even with SP1 like some people suggested it seems like it is impossible
to integrate the two.
In this case is the next step simply to somehow (IIS?) route the Report Server Web Service URL to a SharePoint page?
What should I do with the fact that everyone in my domain can access the above mentioned URL?
Thank you for any and all answers, I appreciate it!

Hi Nestalna,
As per my understanding, you want to allow everyone in your domain to access Report Server Web Service URL, but you don’t know how to grant permissions, then you think we can control permission using sharepoint, right?
In native mode, we can grant permissions to access Report Server Web Service URL by following steps:
From the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.
Click to expand the Local Users and Groups node.
Right-click Groups, then click New Group, type the name and description, then add domain users to the group.
Start Report Manager.
Click Site Settings.
Click Security.
Click New Role Assignment.
In Group or user name, enter the group you created above.
Select a system role, and then click OK.
In this way, domain users can access report manager. If they want to view, add, and manage report server content, subscriptions, report processing, and report history, we need to assign Item-level role on specific folders or items to them. Besides, in earlier
version of SQL Server 2012, we can configure Reporting Services to native or sharepoint integrated mode, from SQL Server 2012, we can configure Reporting Services to native and sharepoint integrated mode.
For more information about Grant User Access to a Report Server, please refer to the following document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156034(v=SQL.105).aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Temp-Contract Worker User Profile Synchronization in SharePoint 2013

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback on what is the best practice for configuring Temp or Contract worker user profile services in SharePoint 2013. We have had lot of issues within MySites when we make these types of workers AD account inactive
and then active again when they come back on projects. The user profile synchronization does not work correctly and MySites has issues loading the profile etc. Also in the same context are there best practices for Name/Title/Department changes as well.
thank you for your feedback!
AJ
Ajay Mandal

Given what you describe I assume you've created a user profile Sync connection filter to remove disabled AD accounts from the user profile sync. That's why you are running into problems. When a user is missing from the import their profile is
deleted within an hour or so, but their MySite isn't deleted for 14 days (to allow time for a manager to clean it off). If the user is reactivated within the 14 day period their old mySite is still there, but is no longer referenced by the new profile
that is created. So When the user goes to their profile it tries to create a new mySite where one already exists. It can't do that.
The same thing will happen if you delete the contractor's user account, but then recreate them in AD when they return. The only way to fix it is to make sure both the profile and mySite site collection in /Personal/ have been deleted before re-adding
an old contractor.
