Issue in Co authoring Excel spreadsheets on Sharepoint

$
0
0

Hi, 

We are particularly facing an issue in co-authoring excel spreadsheets on out SharePoint sites. Most of us use desktop apps and for editing documents and thought maybe its the initial 10 mins locking period, but it stays locked way longer than 10 mins. Hence we started using excel online to avoid the issue and it worked for a few days and now even on online, it shows that 'the user' has locked the document for personal use. 

It is really frustrating for the staff not being able to co-author documents.

Please let me know if I am missing anything...

Hi,

I wish to build a Asset Service list so i can send out reminders to relevant people saying your vehicle or machinery is due for service this is the list ive made


The SMU (Machine hours) is updated daily, in the next column id like it to say the next service coming up which is every 250 SMU

For Eg, AE19  is currently sitting at 8030 SMU and we do services at 8250 SMU so id like it to say 8250 (or if it was 7800 to say 8000)? 

1) what would the code look like? how do i go about this?

In the LV service due column, we service our vehicles every 20,000kms or 6months id like it to say the km/s the next 20,000kms and or 6month mark? 

for the machinery we also do major services every 500, 1000 and 2000 SMU hours id like in the PM1 to display the next 250SMU in PM2 500SMU and so on,

If anyone could help me id gladly appreciate this ive googled to my hearts content and come up with nothing and im not the greatest code? writer coder? 

Thankyou

SQL fail over to DR SQL instance for SharePoint prod instance

$
0
0

Hi Friends,

We have a Prod SQL instance and a DR SQL instance for a PROD SharePoint farm.

When we will failover to the DR SQL, for SharePoint to understand it what changes I need to make to SharePoint? 

1) Adding the Failover instance name in the content databases?

2) Does it require an <g class="gr_ gr_71 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling" data-gr-id="71" id="71" style="color:#000000;font-size:12px;">iisreset</g> at the end?

3) Do I need to add the DR SQL alias in all the Prod SharePoint servers as well, using cliconfg.exe?

4) Is there any change required for the Config database as well? The config database is not getting mirrored at the moment?

5) We have FBA also set up for the web application. So is there a way we can specify the Dr instance in the FBA web.config file?

Is there anything else?

I just started learning SharePoint for work.  So I'm quite novice. I built an Action Tracker to track tasks for everyone. The supervisor now wants the task to turn red if overdue. Is it possible to have an item turn red, either the text or background once it becomes past due?

Thanks!

Cannot open office files

Hi,

i have the following problem.

If i open a word file from a document library with IE11 (32bit, ActiveX enabled), first try opens the file direct in word but write-protected. If i click on the yellow bar in word (Enable editing), i always get the response:

Every second time when i click on the file in sharepoint, i get the following message in IE:

In this case when i open the file i can enable the edit mode in Word/Excel with no problem.

It seems there is a problem with ActiveX (SharePoint OpenDocument.dll) with the latest Office 2016 updates.

System:

  • SharePoint 2013 On premise
  • Office 365 (Word/Excel 2016 client apps on client machines) 32Bit
  • IE11 (32Bit)

Already tried:

  • Clearing all caches (IE, Office, Upload Center)
  • Resetting IE
  • Enable/disable Office-ActiveX in IE11

This behaviour occured recentyl with an Office update, i think. Before the last updates, everthing worked fine.

Any suggestions to solve this problem?

Hide column fields from specific Users

$

I have a SharePoint List and our CFO has requested additional fields added that only they can see. After some searching I do know that column level permissions is impossible but I did find a workaround solution but am having a hard time adjusting the code.

<script type="text/javascript"language="javascript"src="https://my.abc.org/sites/SiteAssets/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></    script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
().SPServices({
operation: "GetGroupCollectionFromUser",
userLoginName: $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser(),
async: false,
   completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
   var xml = xData.responseXML.xml;

if(xml.search('sharepoint groups') != -1)

{
     var feedbackField = $("input[title=Loss$]");
     feedbackField.parent().parent().parent().hide();       
}
 }
);
});
</script>

I want to be able to add the CFO (and whoever else they want) to a SharePoint group and only allow that group to see the Finance fields on the list.

Also there are 5 fields that need to be added so do I just add the additional var under this line: var feedbackField = $("input[title=Loss$]");     ?

As the title suggests, setup SSL on my SharePoint front end servers but when putting the redirect (which sends HTTP traffic to HTTPS from our load balancer), my workflows don't run properly.  They sit on the first stage of the workflow and don't progress.  What am I missing?  If i revert back to HTTP, everything works properly.

Hi Guys,

We have 2 servers farm ( 1 WFE + 1 APP). Recently, I have combined the web role to the app server. Everything is working fine from the app server.

Now I want to get rid of the Web server, so I have detached it from the farm successfully by running the config wizard from the web server.

Is there anything else pending?

Do I need to restart the app server after detaching the web server from the farm?


Excel Services Rest API in Worflow returns Forbidden responsecode

$

I am trying to access excel of a document library using rest service. I have a workflow which is retrieving data using rest api: The http request is: https://<>.sharepoint.com/sites/<>/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/TestDocLibrary/Tracker.xlsx/model/Ranges('DashBoard!J6')?$format=atom

In RequestHeaders, I tried both option:

1-accept & content-type 2- accept & content-type & Authorization (as mentioned here Excel Services REST API returns 401 Unauthorized in Workflow)

For permission I follwed this link : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/create-a-workflow-with-elevated-permissions-by-using-the-sharepoint-workflow

The responsecontent is empty string and responsestatuscode is forbidden. In another workflow, I am able to update list, add entry in list, get list item using rest api. So I think there is no problem of permission to run workflow.

But excel service is throwing forbidded error. Can anyone please help ? Attaching screenshot of workflow.

Service accounts need CAL ?

$

Hi Guys,

1) All the service accounts that we use in SharePoint on-prem like the farm account, install account, app-pool account and so on. Do they all need CAL?

2) CAL and the server license (SharePoint/SQL ), are these licenses charged on a yearly basis or one time?

3) When we downsize a farm in terms of the number of servers and users then does it reduce our license cost also?

4) If the total number of intranet users are reduced by 100 then what will happen to the CALs for those 100 users?

Detached a web server from the farm but still showing warnings in the health analyzer for that server

$

Hi Guys,

I have detached a server from a farm but in the health analyser it is still showing 2 warning for that server

1) Accounts used by application pools or service identities are in the local admin groups

2) The distributed cache host may cause a cache reliability problem

My question is why it is still picking detached web server?

Can this cause a big issue for patching the farm in the future?

In the "managed servers" of the farm, it is not showing the detached web server, which is good.
