Hi,

I want to check out file using JavaScript or Jquery, any code sample please ?

Thanks in advance

I have SharePoint 2013 on premise set up on windows azure cloud, We have set up app catalogue. Developed and deployed sharepoint hosted app from visual studio it works perfectly.

But when i take the same .app file from the solution and try to deploy that file from powershell ( which ultimately we need for the app to be deployed on the UAT server)  it gives me an error.

Powershell command i am using and site collection structure

Web application /Site collection /Subsite  i want to deploy to sub site 

Root site collection : rst

subsite : weather

subsite below weather : meter

$path ="C:\absolute_path_to_app\bin\Debug\app.publish\1.0.0.0\CustomApp.app"
$web = "http://server/weather/meters/"

$web = Get-SPSite $web 

#$spapp = Import-SPAppPackage -Path $path -Site "http://server/" –Source ObjectModel

#$instance = Install-SPApp -Web  $web -Identity $spapp

$instance = Get-SPAppInstance -web $web | Where-Object { $_.Title -eq "customapp" }

when i try to see the app it shows as deployed in subsite and from power shell it gives the instance status all OK

When i go to the sub-site and click on the app it can not redirect to the app and gives page not found error.

Please help 

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

I am experiencing problems with a BDC connection to Oracle. The database I am connecting to is moved to a new Oracle 11 server. It was Oracle 10 I use this connection to sync with my user profile service.

I have the following Oracle connection in my tnsnames.ora

BFTPRD=

  (DESCRIPTION=

      (PROTOCOL=TCP)

I configured a Secure Store username and password. This worked before in Oracle 10

When I import this file I get no errors. I configured the sync to use a profile property as the paramater value for "EmployeeNumber". When I run the profile sync I get errors in the ULS:

Why do I get the unexpected error "the host name 'BFTPRD' is invalid" When I look at the BCS  connection in Central Admin I see that Host is filled  with the name form TNS names. But that is not a real host. The database name is empty. When I try to fill that BCS thinks it is a SQl connection because then I get the following error in  my ULS

Error calling FindSpecific : Microsoft.BusinessData.MetadataModel.InvalidMetadataPropertyException: The provided database connection string is malformed: Initial Catalog=BFTPRD1;Pooling=False;Persist Security Info=false;User ID=sharepointuser;Password=******** ---> System.ArgumentException: Keyword not supported: 'initial catalog'.
at System.Data.Common.DbConnectionOptions.ParseInternal(Hashtable parsetable, String connectionString, Boolean buildChain, Hashtable synonyms, Boolean firstKey)
at System.Data.Common.DbConnectionOptions..ctor(String connectionString, Hashtable synonyms, Boolean useOdbcRules)

I also tried setting the secure store username with passing the Oracle schema in the username like sharepointuser@bftprd

then I get this error in ULS

Error calling FindSpecific : Cannot connect to the LobSystem (External System). Reason: 'ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA ' (ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA ) Stack Trace:
at Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.SystemSpecific.Db.DbConnectionManager.Execute(Object[] args)

The first approach should work but I have no idea what is going wromg here. Could it just be the Oracle 11 server that is blocking this?

Above is the code I am writing to connect to database in sharepoint using WCF referincing below link.

It gives error at  

Cannot open database "Northwind" requested by the login. The login failed.

Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\IUSR' at

  con.Open();  while it works fine if used in sepearate wcf application.

Could any link be provided for the requirement to perform CRUD on sql database table and show the value in sharepoint 2013 in table.

i have been struggling it for long

Good afternoon, all!

I've run into a problem with importing from Visio into Designer.  When I open the workflows and click "Import from Visio..." the option for Visio 2013 is greyed out.  Web searching has only come up with the idea that Workflow Manager is not installed on the SharePoint server.

However, when I try to add a new workflow, I do get the 2013 option.  Furthermore, I had major troubles installing Workflow Manager and ended up calling Microsoft to assist with the installation.  So, Workflow Manager is installed on the server.

Any other thoughts on why the option is greyed out?

Thanks to all for looking!

Hi,

The task I'm trying to accomplish looks pertty simple: I need to read a value of the item's "Name" field inside the workflow. I try to do it using LookupSPListItem and GetDynamicValueProperties activities. I can get value of the "Title" field, also I created custom field and can read it too.

But the "Name" field always comes empty.

I guess I need to use some tricky syntax or this field has some different "internal name"?

The workflow is designed in VS 2013.

Hi,

I have taken over someone's code which is a C# Farm Solution for SharePoint 2013 On-Premises.  Users have been experiencing serious degradation on page loads (which contain three web parts). As the list becomes bigger so the system gets slower. I am pretty sure this is related to queries on the list. However, there are a hell of a lot of queries on this system and I just wanted to know is there a utility in-built in VS or third-party which provides you with functions and their speeds so I can nail it down.

I have looked at Developer Dashboard that there are a few large SQL Queries, but not sure in what functions they reside.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

John.

Currently I'm porting an existing SharePoint 2010 solution to SharePoint 2013. Currently I'm struggling with a small javascript issue. The javascript is a small routine which disables some managed metadata fields to prevent users to change those fields within a custom page opened in a dialog. Currently we run a method at page load which initializes this by using the method ExcuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(InitFieldsMethod, "ScriptForWebTaggingUI.js"); In SP2010 this part of code was working. What it actually does is that it executes our initialization method after the rendering and initialization of the metadata controls was done (this was done in SP2010 by ScriptForWebTaggingUI.js). In SP2013 it seems that this method doesn't work anymore.

When I use this code the initialization method gets called to early, because the rendering of the metadata fields hasn't done yet. What I've tried is to place the ExcuteOrDelay routine later in the page or bind it to other js files like sp.js. But all of these variants didn't work properly. Does somebody know what I can do to force that the initialization code runs after the metadata fields have rendered properly? The code itself still works, which I've verified by using the developer toolbar in IE 8 and then call the initialization from console manually after proper loading of the page.

I have got SharePoint Desinger 2013 which I got for free from microsoft.com. Somehow I can not manage to enter WYSIWYG mode. Could it be that WYSIWYG is not included in the free version? The version number is 15.0.4420.1017.

I have an On-Premise SharePoint 2013 Development environment with Visual Studio 2013 Workflow. It is a stand alone server. It also hosts a separate IIS site, which has a Web API. When I am trying to call this Web API from my SP2013 Visual Studio Workflow and I am trying to deploy it, it is giving me an error as below, even though I am setting the the Authorization on the RequestHeader. Can anyone please help?

Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowManagementException: Exception thrown from the messaging layer. For more details, please see the server logs.

I´m trying to access Sharepoint list data in Office 365 from an external website. I registered my app in Azure Active Directory and I've done all the process of creating and trusting a certifacte and getting the access token.

Add-Type -Path ".\Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.dll"

$authenticationContext = New-Object Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.AuthenticationContext -ArgumentList "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{myTenantId}/", $false

$cer = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2
$cer.Import(".\WithPrivateKey.pfx", "privateKey", [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509KeyStorageFlags]::MachineKeySet)

$clientAssertion = New-Object Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.ClientAssertionCertificate -ArgumentList "{myClientId}", $cer

$authenticationResult = $authenticationContext.AcquireToken("https://{tenantName}.sharepoint.com", $clientAssertion)

$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + $authenticationResult.AccessToken)

I can successfully call to Sharepoint REST Api by presenting the access token in request headers.

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://{myTenantName}.sharepoint.com/sites/devSite/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/TestList -Method Get -Headers $headers 

However I can't do the same to access asmx endpoints, such as Lists.asmx, whenever I try to call any method on those services I get 401 UNAUTHORIZED

$body = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"><soap12:Body><GetList xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/"><listName>TestList</listName></GetList></soap12:Body></soap12:Envelope>'

$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://{myTenantName}.sharepoint.com/sites/site/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx -Method Post -ContentType 'application/soap+xml' -Headers $headers -Body $body

Hi,

The scenario is that I have an Employee table in sql database containing more than 5000 items.

Now I want to show the items in webpart based on some column say user country = india and city = mumbai. 

When I connect the table using BCS sharepoint designer and get value in list than I get the whole 5k items if i set limit then some of my items are not populated in sharepoint list.

How can I achieve the above requirement using BCS. Any out of the box solution or custom code.

We use javascript client object model mostly in our webpart
