It all started with an email from a customer: They wanted an event app for an upcoming regional sales summit. The requirements fit the mold of a typical event app (session schedule and downloadable documents, photo sharing, surveys, sync with Outlook, etc.), but there was one small problem. The app needed to be done in less than a week. Fortunately, we knew exactly what tools to use and how to put them to work for our client. Read the rest […]

With the abundance of JavaScript libraries and frameworks available today, it’s hard to decide what is going to work best for a certain requirement. Add in the fact that there are many server-side tools that can also accomplish the task and you could spend hours just narrowing down options to test before deciding on the path you’ll take in the end. This was a recent conundrum for me when approached to incorporate child data management in the parent forms on […]

I came across an interesting bug while trying to add a user the Administrators of a Search Service Application in SharePoint 2013. When I tried adding the user, and clicking OK, and error is returned: “User does not have permission to perform this action” along with a correlation ID. Further investigation in the ULS logs revealed that the problem was SQL permission related: “The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object ‘proc_MSS_GetConfigurationProperty’, database ‘SPSearch’, schema ‘dbo’.” Additionally performing a search […]

Recently, I encountered an issue with SharePoint 2013 search crawls where .pdf files smaller than 1 MB reported a warning: “The item has been truncated in the index because it exceeds the maximum size”. The default MaxDownLoadSize for documents in SharePoint is 64MB, which was more than enough the handle these relatively small .pdf files. After I reached out to some co-workers; one suggested that the error might be a false-positive and the entire document had been crawled. I tested […]
Introduction One of the many challenges that SharePoint developers face is returning meaningful search results that allow users to access information efficiently. Oftentimes, data retrieved from search could be more effective if we could modify it slightly. Other times, search results would be enhanced if we could include related information that does not reside within SharePoint. FAST for SharePoint 2010 provided pipeline extensibility which allowed us to modify content on the “pipeline” using a PowerShell script or a compiled application. […]
SharePoint Server 2013 offers a completely new architecture for Workflow utilizing Workflow Foundation 4.5. I’ve already covered the high-level changes in a previous post called “What Changed in SharePoint 2013 Workflow? Pretty Much Everything” and discussed how a SharePoint 2010 Workflow project would be designed differently in my post titled “Redesigning a SharePoint 2010 Workflow Project for SharePoint 2013.” Both of these posts discuss the new reliance on web services for data in SharePoint Workflow. While it’s obvious that Visual […]
