I’m used to do my developments are testing for SharePoint Apps in SharePoint Online rather than using OnPrem deployment singe its easy. But I suddenly found out Office Web Apps on my On Premise environment not showing Review tab on Word Documents which SharePoint Online does. When I searched through the root cause, I have found out OnPrem updates are little bit behind the O365 updates. Apart from Review tab there are few other functionalities missing in OnPrem version. Following list down the current available updates for Office Web Apps. 15.0.4420.1007 RTM  15.0.4481.1005 March 2013 PU         KB2760445 15.0.4481.1508 April 2013 CU         KB2810007 15.0.4505.1001 April 2013 Hotfix     KB2799821 15.0.4517.1003 June 2013 CU         KB2817350 15.0.4535.1000 August 2013 CU         KB2817521 15.0.4551.1003 ...

  There are multiple reason for this behavior of your sharepoint farm. exclusing all other DNS mapping and firewall and proxy configurations there might be a problem in SharePoint Access mapping that will cause the this behaviour. Furthur descrbing the issue… when you type http://abc.company.ae it may redirect to http://d.company .ae ; the second address also you wanted and imagine its in AAM. This behaviour is tottaly because of Aulternate Acess mapping , where you have put abc.company.ae and d.company.ae in same default zone in Alternate Access Mapping. so just delete one entry from Default Zone and put it to another Zone.

As you already know Report Server can be run either in Native mode or SharePoint integrated mode. Report server has feature of scheduling subscriptions for your reports. Report Subscription allows you to schedule your reports to deliver to recipients. There are few Delivery mechanisms available in SharePoint.

PageNotFoundError.aspx is a SharePoint default Error page which is resides on <SharePointrl>/pages library. http://<SharePoint>/Pages/Forms/AllItems.aspx As you can see it is by default using Layout called Error. If you want to edit the exiting page you can simply check out and Edit the page in the browser. If you can want to change the Layout you can change the Page Layout out by editing the page layout. If you are good at PowerShell scripts, you can Update the custom page Url in Site Collection property. $spsite = Get-SPSite “http://<SharePoint>” $spsite.FileNotFoundUrl = “/pages/myerror.aspx“

REST queries are quiet familiar when you are working with SharePoint Apps and SharePoint development. I have found quiet difficult to pass the Date Time parameter to REST and took few minutes to figure that out. There are two ways to end points to access list data. http://<SharePoint Url>/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Pages')/items? http:// <SharePoint Url>/_vti_bin/listdata.svc And these functions are working only on listdata.svc These are few example of REST queries which uses Created Column as a sample field.   Filter using day () function http:// <SharePoint Url>/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/<listname>?$filter = day(Created) eq 2   Filter using month () function http:// <SharePoint Url>/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/<listname>?$filter = month (Created) eq 2   Filter using year () function http:// <SharePoint Url>/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/<listname>?$filter = year (Created) eq 2   Filter using hour () function http:// <...

In my previous post I have explained how to pass the custom URL parameter to the Report when it is SharePoint Integrated Mode. As explained earlier post report server parameter has three parts. <prefix>:<Parameter Name>= <Value>   Parameter Type Prefix Note Report Viewer Control rc: Report Server HTML controller Report Server rs: Report Server to process Report Viewer Web Part rv: Web part parameters Report Parameters rp: Report parameters (Explained in Part One) When you are running the Report Server under SharePoint, You can Access the report Server using /_vti_bin/reportserver. You can find similar page if report server is running.   rc: This is for passing parameters to Report Server HTML viewer. Here are the list of parameters. rc:Parameters rc:Zoom rc:Section rc:FindString rc:StartFind rc:EndFind rc:FallbackPage rc:GetImage rc:Icon rc:Stylesheet EX: - http://mysharePoint/_vti_bin/ reportserver?<Do...

There are many reasons to happen this but most of the time it will happen when you change the Access mapping to match your domain. For an example you might have webwfe01 as your web application in your default zone. And if you change that to www.sampleweb.com this may be occurred for Windows Users. This is because by not having Fully Qualified Domain name specified is not matching with the local machine. For an Example, Your local machine can be in a domain myorg.com and the specified Mapping is sampleweb.com Thus this will cause LoopBack check which it true by design for security reasons. Microsoft specifies two methods to resolve the issue. Disable Strict Name Checking [ Ref ] Disable Loopback Check [ Ref ] REF: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/896861/you-receive-error-401.1-when-you-browse-a-web-site-that-uses-integrated-authentication-and-is-hosted-on-iis-5.1-or-a-later-version You need to do it all SharePoint servers for safe side in the future service deploymen...
