Heads up are you still using SharePoint 2010

05/10/2015 Leave a comment

I want to spread my colleague Stefan’s post for this important headsup:

Mainstream support for SharePoint 2010 will end on October 13th, 2015:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle?p1=14944

After this date only security fixes will be provided for SharePoint 2010. That means if you are running into an issue after October 13th which is caused by a problem in SharePoint 2010 and which has not already been addressed before you will no longer be able to request a hotfix.
Not the best situation if you are using SharePoint 2010 as a business critical application.

There are still three months till deadline – enough time to evaluate SharePoint 2013 and consider an upgrade.

In here ; SharePoint is telling you that it cannot find the Workflow Manager service endpoint at this address
– Check for the Firewall and possible networking issues.
– Make a browser test that you can browse the workflow host uri
-Check the WFM IIS for the bindings of the Workflow Manager Site
-Check that the workflow manager  IIS to make sure that the Workflow Manager Front End is running on correct port !.

  • When you try to publish a workflow you may face following issues.

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: App Management Shared Service Proxy is not installed.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.AppRegistration.GetProxy(SPServiceContext serviceContext)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.AppRegistration.AddOrUpdateAppNoPermissionCheck(SPAppPrincipalInfo appInfo)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAppPrincipalManager.RegisterWithInternalDirectory(SPAppPrincipalIdentityProvider identityProvider, String nameIdentifier, String displayName, List`1 appEndpointAuthorities, List`1 redirectAddr

You can face this  because App Management Service application is not provisioned or the App Management Service is not running or the App Management Service Proxy is not added to the default proxy group.
-Check the app management service from CA -> Application Management -> Manage Service Application . If it is not provisioned , provision it.

Then if you face this ;
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEndpointAddressNotFoundException: There are no addresses available for this application.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoundRobinServiceLoadBalancer.BeginOperation()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPServiceApplicationProxyBase`1.ExecuteOnChannel(Boolean requireDelegation, Action`1 codeBlock)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.AppManagement.AppManagementServiceApplicationProxy.GetScaleOutDatabaseMap()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPScaleOutDatabaseMap.GetMapCacheEntries

-Dont forget to start App Management Service from CA-> Services on Server -> App Management Service
–Make an IISReset

  • When you try to run a SP 2013 workflow, you get a ‘suspended’ error message, and the error states;
    RequestorId: <Guid>. Details: RequestorId: <Guid>. Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 401 {“error_description”:”The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error.

The reason may the security service application is unable to identify the user id from the user claim

-Open IIS Manager, navigatred to Application Pools > Click on the app pool named “Security Token Serice Application Pool”
-Click Advanced settings
-Modified the value for the property named “Load User Profile” from FALSE to TRUE

Content Type Publishing does not publish SPD reusable workflow along with Content Type for SharePoint 2010

02/02/2014 Leave a comment

Content type Publishing will include workflow associations, but not the workflow themselves. It is by design , In SharePoint 2010, Content Type Publishing will include the workflow association, however the actual workflow is not published. To work around this behavior, workflows should be manually created or transferred to the site before the Content Type and workflow association are published.

The form cannot be rendered. This may be due to a misconfiguration of the Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service

05/02/2013 Leave a comment

First check that the state service Application has started and State Service Application Proxy has been assigned to your web Application ;

Open your Central Administration
Go to Application Management
Under Service Applications click Configure service application associations
Click on the Application Service Proxy Group of the WebApplication you’re trying your workflow on
Find State Service Application and make it checked .

If you dont have State Service Application you can create a new one by below;

1. Click and lunch  Start->All Programs -> Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products->  SharePoint 2010 Management Shell .
2. In Windows PowerShell, type $stateapp= New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name “State Service Application”
3. Create a State Service database and associate it with a service application, by typing New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name “StateServiceDatabase” -ServiceApplication $stateapp
4. Create a State Service Application Proxy and associate it with the service application by typing New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name “State Service Application Proxy” -ServiceApplication $stateapp -DefaultProxyGroup
