Introduction to SharePoint 2013 Records Management

SharePoint 2013 has added on and improved on many of the features for Records Management including:

Improvements on most of the SharePoint 2010 features (detailed at the bottom of this post) plus:
- Unified eDiscovery & Holds
- Site Policies for Closure and Deletion
- Site Mailbox
To the Cloud….
- Main focus for Microsoft with 2013
- Majority of the new and existing Records Management (and other IM) features have feature parity with Office 365!

As part of a few talks I’ve done lately on SharePoint 2013 Records Management, I posted my presentation deck to SlideShare online for those who have requested it:

SharePoint 2013 Developers – Enable Developer Dashboard Now. It will make your life easier!

Even though SharePoint Server 2013 has been released for a while now, I still see developers who aren’t taking advantage of a new feature in SharePoint 2013 that will make their implementation, code analysis and debugging a lot easier.

The developer dashboard was initially released in SharePoint 2010. It was designed to provide diagnostic information to troubleshoot problems with SharePoint page level components (i.e. web parts, master pages, etc…) that would be difficult to isolate without viewing backend logs or debugging through code.

In SharePoint 2013, there has been a massive improvement to the developer dashboard now:

No longer a page control which only shows info about current request but now a separate window which shows you ALL requests since you started developer dashboard session!
The new Developer Dashboard has ULSViewer elements in it, no more digging through the 15 hive for the logs folder using notepad or ULSViewer to find your correlation id, you have it right there!
You can also see SharePoint server info, SQL calls, Service Calls, ULS and SPRequests all from this view in a nice tabbed view
Works by using dedicated WCF service (diagnosticsdata.svc) designed for the purpose of providing tracing information for developer dashboard
Turned off by default and doesn’t even show on the page until it is turned on
Uses the “Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application”
many more… get more about it here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sharepoint/fp123606.aspx

To enable, run this in SharePoint Management Shell:

$content = ([Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService)

$appsetting =$content.DeveloperDashboardSettings

$appsetting.DisplayLevel = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPDeveloperDashboardLevel]::On

$appsetting.Update()

See it appear at the top right of your SharePoint page beside the “Focus on Content” area once you enabled it, clicking on it will pop up the Developer Dashboard in a new browser window which you can leave open for various requests:

To disable, run this in SharePoint Management Shell:

$content = ([Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService)

$appsetting =$content.DeveloperDashboardSettings

$appsetting.DisplayLevel = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPDeveloperDashboardLevel]::Off

$appsetting.Update()

Ensure you install the SharePoint Server 2013 March 2013 Public Update!

In a recent post by Bill Baer (Microsoft SharePoint Senior Product Manager), he indicates that anyone who has installed SharePoint Server 2013 who wants to be able to install future product updates, should install the SharePoint Server 2013 March 2013 Public Update. See a full description.

He goes on to say the following:

“Q: Do I need to install the SharePoint Server 2013 March 2013 Public Update?

A: The SharePoint Server 2013 March 2013 Public Update establishes a baseline for future product updates and must be installed to support the installation of future product updates.”

When installing the update, remember to follow his outline process of stopping the SPSearchHostController, OSearch15, and SPTimerV4 services before installing the update or you will be waiting for a long time (could be up to an hour or more) for the update to complete, especially in a farm environment.

SharePoint 2013 - Cannot complete this action. The URL 'Pages/default.aspx' is invalid. It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web.

If you get this error as while checking in a document or performing any other action in your environment, it is likely you have a database space issue:

“Cannot complete this action. The URL 'Pages/default.aspx' is invalid. It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web.”

In my case the transaction logs disk drive was full. In other cases, it could mean your database is set to read only.

You probably would have caught this if you looked at your SharePoint server’s event viewer logs.

Stretched Farms Now Supported in SharePoint 2013!

Organizations who perform enterprise scale large deployments of SharePoint are very sensitive to any downtime of the system so that there is minimal affect to their employees and clients.

With the release of SharePoint 2013 RTM, Microsoft had changed their policy from SharePoint 2010 to not officially supported server farms that spanned across multiple datacenters.

Previous text taken from from the TechNet Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 article (Now outdated and should be updated soon - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485(v=office.15).aspx#hwLocServers):

Hardware requirements—location of physical servers

All servers that belong to a server farm, including database servers, must physically reside in the same datacenter. Redundancy and failover between closely located data centers that are configured as a single farm ("stretched farm”) is not supported in SharePoint 2013.

Stefan Gobner from the SharePoint team has recently published an article with an update on stretch farm support in SharePoint 2013.

I guess with some performance and capacity testing, Microsoft has gone back and changed it to officially announce limited supportability for stretched farms based on a prerequisite of minimal (< 1ms) latency between components of the farm.

Other things to consider for stretched farms from Stefan’s post:

Q1 My customer wants to distribute their topology across one or more distinct geographic boundaries (i.e. between cities, states, provinces), is this supported?
A1 No.

Q2 My customer maintains a logical datacenter comprised of one or more physical buildings on a single site. Is this supported?
A2 Yes, providing there is a highly consistent intra-farm latency of <1ms, 99.9% of the time over a period of ten minutes. (Intra-farm latency is commonly defined as the latency between the web front-end and database servers)

Q3 My customer’s latency exceeds 1ms – what can I do to get them to a supported configuration?
A3 See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263031.aspx for documentation detailing high availability and disaster recovery topologies possible with SharePoint Server 2013.

SharePoint 2013 On-Premises vs. Office 365 - SharePoint Online Key Feature Differences

In a previous post, I compared the on-premises features of SharePoint 2013 by version (Foundation vs. Standard vs. Enterprise) from an article that Microsoft published detailing a comparison of all of the features of SharePoint Online for the new Microsoft Office Customer Preview (i.e. SharePoint 2013 Preview) along with the various Office 365 and SharePoint online subscription plans (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj819267.aspx).
