SharePoint Federated Results

Here are some simple steps to get Federated search results to work in SharePoint 2010.  Its actually really simple, Kudos to the search team.  Note that this sets up a new Bing federated result, there is already one in there, but this walks you through setting up from scratch.

Enjoy!
Chris

Exercise 1 – Setup Federation

Purpose:         Learn to pull in outside search results (federation)
from Bing.

Result:            Federated search results

Task 1 – Configure your Search Application

  1. Open SharePoint Central
    Administration
  2. Click “Application
    Management”
  3. Click “Manage service applications”
  4. Click “My Search Application”
  5. Click “Federated Locations”
  6. Click “New Location”

  1. For location name, type
    “Bing”
  2. For display name, type “Bing”
  3. For description type,
    federated results from Bing Search provider”
  4. For author, type “Microsoft”
  5. For version type “1.0.0.0”
  6. Leave the Trigger as “Always”
    • NOTE your options,
      prefix and pattern can be applied to the search keywords in deciding to
      send a query to the federated provider
  7. For location type, click
    “OpenSearch 1.0/1.1”
  8. For the query template, type http://www.bing.com/search?q={searchTerms}&format=rss
  9. Note your ability to modify
    the formatting of the results returned from the provider
  10. Note your ability to restrict
    the federated results at a site collection level
  11. Note your ability to set
    credentials for the federated provider
  12. Click “OK’

Task 2 – Set your Search Application

  1. Open Central Administration
  2. Click “Application
    Management”
  3. Click “Configure service
    application associations”
  4. Click “Default”
  5. Check “My Search Application”
  6. Click “Set as default”
  7. Click “OK”

Task 2 – Test your new federation provider

  1. Open your search center (http://servername:115)
  2. Run a search for “SharePoint”,
    you should get no federated results
  3. Click “Site settings->Edit
    Page”
  4. Find the “Top federated
    results” web part
  5. Click “Edit web part”

  1. Select “Bing”
  2. Click “OK”
  3. Run a search for “SharePoint”,
    you should get back a single federated result (the top one):

  1. Click “Site Actions->Edit
    Page”
    • NOTE: you may have to click back to the home page, run a search
      and then click “Site Actions->Edit Page”, there seems to be an issue
      with resending the same query in Beta
  2. Edit the Top Federated
    Results web part, expend “Display Properties”
  3. In “Results Per Page”, set it
    to 3
  4. Click “Ok”, rerun your
    search, you should now see the top 3 results:

Solution Validators – Sandboxed Solutions

So you read my last post and decided that maybe SandBoxed Solutions isn't that great of an idea.  You decided to implement a Solution Validator to limit what your ole developers are doing.

You got the validator created and you installed it, but then realized, its not quite right.  So, you undeploy it right?  Oh, wait, every object that goes in the Object hierarchy table has to have a "public" contructor for deserialization (ie, pulled out of the ConfigDB and turned into memory). Otherwise you get a nice error in Visual Studio and/or Central Admin and you won't be able to retract the solution.

Exception in RefreshCache. Exception message : "MySolutionValidator.MySolutionValidator cannot be deserialized because it does not have a public default constructor."

K, if you followed the little article up there, then you'll notice that particular piece is missing!  Now your stuck…how do you get it out?  Well, you gotta run a command against the config database: NOTE:  This is a highly dangerous operation, if you mess it up, your Farm gets deleted!

delete from Objects
where properties like '%MySolutionValidator%' –or to be more safe, the full assembly name

You could also run the following stsadm command provided you do the query to find the id in the Config database:

select id, properties from Objects
where properties like '%MySolutionValidator%'

STSADM -o deleteconfigurationobject -id “id retrieved from object table”

This will clear the object and the retract will succeed.  This will be the case for ANYTHING that goes into the object hierarchy table.

Missing Server Side Dependencies – 8d6034c4-a416-e535-281a-6b714894e1aa

So what is this you ask?  Well, I did a little digging, I watched the Timer Job and the query it sent ( to the content database of the central admin site):

SELECT tp_WebPartTypeId, COUNT(1), tp_Assembly, tp_Class
FROM AllWebParts (NOLOCK)
WHERE tp_WebPartTypeId IS NOT NULL GROUP BY tp_WebPartTypeId, tp_Assembly, tp_Class

You get back a result set that has a null for the tp_Assembly column for the web part. What is this web part you ask, well it is the Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.WebControls.SearchTopologyView web part
in the Microsoft.Office.Server.Search, Version=14.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c assembly.

If you do a query to see where these 6 instance are:

select *
from AllWebParts
where tp_WebPartTypeId = '8D6034C4-A416-E535-281A-6B714894E1AA'

You will see that the web part exists on two pages:

  • SearchAdministration.aspx
  • SearchFarmDashboard.aspx

Open those pages, notice…It DOES exist!

Now, here is the funny thing – rerun the queries.  As soon as you open those pages, the databsae gets updated and the error will go away.  Weird!!!

Enjoy!

SharePoint 2010 User Profile Properties (SubType) – Error

When creating a custom User Profile Property, be sure to check the "Default User Profile Subtype" checkbox.  If you don't you won't see the property on the manage properties page and won't be able to get to it through the UI.

However, I figured a way to get to it…just paste in the browser (to get your appid just click on another property to edit, then change the name query string):

http://sharepoint2010:20974/_layouts/EditProperty.aspx?Name=[PROPRETYNAME]&IsSection=False&ProfileType=&ApplicationID=31948422%2D08be%2D4c84%2D8e9c%2D40d3bb10970f

And you will be able to get to it and check the checkbox

Another issue, when you click the "Add new mapping", if you don't select anything, it will add the "Select Attribute" to your mappings, this is obviously wrong and will not  make your ForeFront Sync happy.

Also note that after adding a  new property, your log will get several "Sync" errors for each site collection saying you don't have that property in the site!

[UPDATE] – In RTM, the checkbox will be checked by default…woohoo, now you just gotta hope the admins don't uncheck it!

Enjoy!

SharePoint 2010 BDC Error

Sooo, I have this lovely app def file, that uploads perfectly.  But when I go to use one of the entities in a list column, I get this interesting issue (notice that I don't get columns, but the first named TypeDescriptor):

 

Fair enough, I'll remove the wrapper from around my return
columns from the query. This USE to work in 2007 by the way:

<TypeDescriptor
TypeName="System.Data.IDataRecord, System.Data, Version=2.0.3600.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
Name="ProductDataRecord">
<TypeDescriptors>
….Column descriptors….
</TypeDescriptors>
</TypeDescriptor>

Re-upload, and whalla…it works like it did in 2007!

 

But, on adding an item with item resolution, you get this lovely error:

The root TypeDescriptor with Name 'Reader' belonging to Method with Name 'Find_Customers', of Entity with Name 'Customers' and Namespace 'Northwind' has a TypeName that is not assignable to System.Data.IDataReader or is not a Collection TypeDescriptor, which is necessary when using LobSystems of Type Database.

Fair enough, sooo, I go and change it in the app def file:

<TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.Data.IDataReader, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" IsCollection="true" Name="Reader">

And on upload, you get this lovely error:

ReturnTypeDescriptor of MethodInstance with Name 'Find_Customers_Instance' on
Entity (External Content Type) with Name 'Customers' in Namespace 'Northwind'
should not be a Collection TypeDescriptor for MethodInstances of Type
'SpecificFinder'

Oh yeah baby…a catch 22 loop!!!  Anyone? Bueller?  Bueller?

It just keeps getting better doesn't it???

Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint Beta 2

Not alot of people actually installed antivirus software on their SharePoint 2007 environments.  The unfortunate thing is, only Microsoft had something that would actually plug in (as far as I know anyway and I did a lot of research).  The only solution has been ForeFront security (NOTE: this is NOT the same thing as ForeFront Identity).  If you are on SharePoint 2007, you should know that they released SP3 of ForeFront security a few months ago, I just now found out which really shows you how important it is in the community (ie, not very).  You should download and install the new SP3!

One piece of software that you should start out testing and considering for your 2010 environment is the Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint Beta 2.  It is also available for download from here.

SharePoint 2010 web.config file changes

I took a look at the new SharePoint 2010 web.config file, and here are the changes I have found so far:

New sections include:

  • 3 new SharePoint sections:
  • WorkflowServices – new SharePoint based section
  • OutputCacheProfiles – basic asp.net section
  • ObjectCache – basic asp.net section
  • New Workflow section
  • authorizedRuleTypes

New sections groups:

  • "system.web.extensions" – this drives the AJAX funtionality
  • "microsoft.sharepoint.client" – this drives the WCF client proxies for service applications
  • "ReportingServices" – for Reporting service integration
  • "Bpm" – Performance Point section

 Safe controls added:

  • Too many to list here, but all are newer 14.0.0.0 assemblies for SharePoint 14

 A flurry of merge actions (for understanding a merge action check this other blog entry)

 For IIS 6.0 system.web section:

  • No HttpHandlers are configured.
  • CustomErrors is Off
  • No HttpModules are configued

Several new assemblies are complied:

  • System.Web.Extensions
  • Microsoft.Web.CommandUI
  • Microsoft.SharePoint.Search
  • Microsoft.Office.Access.Server.UI
  • Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing

 New ExpressionBuilder added:

  • SatelliteResources

 New Build Provider added:

  • ".json"  

Controls section added by default now:

  • "asp" of System.Web.UI

 Default siteMap provider is now called "CurrentNavigation" (use to be CurrentNavSiteMapProvider).  Includes new providers:

  • ExtendedSearchXmlContentMapProvider
  • GlobalNavigation
  • CurrentNavigation
  • MySiteSubNavProvider

Removed the:

  • UsagePagesSiteMapProvider

New WebPart Transformers:

  • TransformableBIDataProviderToFilterValuesTransformer
  • TransformableBIDataProviderToWebPartParametersTransformer
  • TransformableBIDataProviderTransformer
  • TransformableFilterValuesToEntityInstancesTransformer

New Mobile Controls Section:

  • SPMobileHtmlDeviceAdapters
  • SPMobileChtmlDeviceAdapters
  • SPMobileXhtmlDeviceAdapters

SessionState is removed from the IIS 6.0 system.web section

FULL IIS 7.0 "system.webServer" section has been added

  • Modules removed
    • OutputCache
    • FormsAuthenciation
    • UrlAuthorization
    • WindowsAuthentication
    • RoleManager
    • Session 
  • Handlers removed
    • SPHttpHandler!!! – everything is done via the modules!

System.Workflow.ComponentModel.WorkflowCompiler

  • In SP2010, you cannot use a "While", "ConditionedActivityGroup" or a "Replicator" activity in SharePoint web applications.  They have set "Authorized" to "False"!!! – WHY?
  • Rather than all types in mscorlib, they have explicitly set it so you can only use
    • Guid
    • DateTime
    • Boolean
    • Double
    • String
    • Hashtable
    • ArrayList
    • DebuggableAttribute
    • ComplationRelaxationAttribute
    • RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute
    • Int32
    • TimeSpan
    • Generic Collections
  • New authorized types
    • SPItemKey
    • SPWorkflowUserContext
  • New assemblies
    • Microsoft.Office.Access.Server.Application
    • Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions

Four new location settings with a timeout of 3600ms:

  • _layouts/UploadEx.aspx
  • _layouts/ctdmsettings.aspx
  • _layouts/policyconfig.aspx
  • _layouts/metanavsettings.asxp

Two new location settings with webServices protocol clear:

  • _vti_bin/EwaInternalWebService.json
  • _vti_bin/DynamicGridContent.json

New location settings random:

  • _layouts/pptInsertPicture.aspx
  • _vti_bin/powerpointBroadcastHost.asmx
  • _vti_bin/powerpointBroadcastHost_1_0.asmx – what the heck is this for I wonder?
  • _vti_bin/present.asmx

Two new appSettings keys – why the hell these are here and not a config section is beyond me!

  • PptServer_Pipe
  • PptServer_BroadcastManager

SharePoint 2010 – Step by Step Install

NOTE:  This is an older version of the install.  If you want RTM steps, go here

From fresh hardware to full SharePoint 2010 dev install, everything you need is right here!  No Login required like some other sites!  Keep in mind these steps are NOT for production (you wouldn't run your site on beta software would you, even if you did, I hope you paid for it).  These steps will change at RTM.  Some things to note: 

1) install is using admin account (several of us just couldn't get ALL the features to work with separate service account in Beta)
2) we don't need loopback fix as all the sites are using specific ports instead of host headers.

Also, if you don't want to do a domain controller install, you could consider this route (http://bit.ly/4oAhpm), but my steps here may not work if you do.

Enjoy!
