- 21. Want to upgrade to latest version? • If you are planning to upgrade to the next major release of SharePoint, make sure your existing environment is running a version of SharePoint that can be upgraded to the next one. • Here is a list of the build numbers required to upgrade to the next major version of SharePoint: • To upgrade from SharePoint 2007 to 2010, minimal build: SharePoint 2007 SP2, build number (12.0.6421.1000) • To upgrade from SharePoint 2010 to 2013, minimal build: SharePoint 2010 SP1, build number (14.0.6029.1000)
- 22. Ah! Those updates… • Office Web App • App Fabric (2013) • Language Packs
- 23. DB Best Practices • Database files and transaction log files should not be on the primary drive • Storing all files in the same location and on the system drive can lead to severe performance issues in the SQL Server. • TempDB (Number of files, size, response times) • Disk allocation size • ModelDB (growth, initial file size) • Maximum Degree of Parallelism (MAXDOP) (SP2013) • Use alias whenever possible • Database autogrowth and initial size Make your SharePoint 2013/2016 fly by tuning & optimizing SQL Server”: what every SharePoint consultant should know (lessons learned) 12:55 PM - 1:45 PM Serge Luca, Isabelle Van Campenhoudt
- 24. Web.config files & solution deployment • Make sure all web.config files are the same • Make sure you are running the same code on all servers
- 25. Lifecycle management Development Pre-production Production Test new and updated apps and solutions Control source code and use versioning Keep environments in sync to get best results from testing Sync Sync
- 26. What’s the current recommended CU? • http://toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=346
- 27. Site Collection Upgrade • Make sure you have updated all your site collections to the latest UI version
- 28. Don’t use Primary Drive • SQL • Databases • Logs • SharePoint • Logs (ULS, Usage) • Also make sure ULS is enabled and restricted • Make sure logging is not in Verbose if not necessary • Search Index • IIS • Logs
- 29. Security, who is your farm admin?
- 30. Site Collection Sizes Limit Maximum value Limit type Notes Number of content databases 500 per farm Supported The maximum number of content databases per farm is 500. Content database size (general usage scenarios) 200 GB per content database Supported The default file size is 50 MB, which can be increased to a maximum of 2 GB. Content database size (all usage scenarios) 4 TB per content database Supported Content databases of up to 4 TB are supported*
- 31. Code quality and tools • Coding conventions (your own or Microsoft’s) • StyleCop (stylecop.codeplex.com) • SharePoint server side code quality • SPDisposeCheck • SPCAF (www.spcaf.com)
- 32. Default URLs / SQL Alias / Domain • A server name should not be used as a URL for your SharePoint web application. This can cause problems if a second machine is added to this farm or when moving to another farm • You should use SQL Alias • A separate domain for SharePoint might be a good solution (if available)
- 33. Make sure your services and proxies are running • Background services like: • State Service • Search • Sandbox Code Service • UPA • Web Analytics (SP2010) • Apps (if needed) (SP2013) • Distributed Cache (SP2013) • Make sure your proxies are started • Make sure there are no duplicate applications running
- 34. BP: Blog Caching Enabled • Make sure you have enabled binary large object (BLOB) caching. • BLOB caching is enabled by editing the web.config file for the web application and changing the following line: <BlobCache location="C:BlobCache14" path=".(gif|jpg|jpeg|jpe|jfif|bmp|dib|tif|tiff|themedbmp|themedcss|themedg if|themedjpg|themedpng|ico|png|wdp|hdp|css|js|asf|avi|flv|m4v|mov|mp3|mp4|m peg|mpg|rm|rmvb|wma|wmv|ogg|ogv|oga|webm|xap)$" maxSize="10" enabled="false" />
- 35. Update ALL your servers • To see the installed Windows and SharePoint Server updates, start Control Panel, go to Programs > Programs and Features and click View installed updates. Control Panel, however, will only show installed binaries. Installing SharePoint binaries is only a part of the patching process. To verify the upgrade status of a SharePoint farm and servers in the farm, open the Central Administration tool, and in the Upgrade and Migration section, click Check upgrade status (SharePoint 2010 and 2013). • Make sure your run Configuration Wizard afterwards
- 36. Claims-based auth • This check detects whether web applications in SharePoint 2010 are utilizing claims-based authentication. • Claims-based authentication is an essential component in SharePoint 2013. Although you can migrate a non-claims web application to SharePoint 2013, many underlying components will not function properly. If you are planning an upgrade, we recommended that you upgrade your existing non-claims SharePoint 2010 application to a claims-based applications prior to your upgrade. We also recommend that you perform a couple of test runs before you complete the production upgrade. • Converting from classic authentication to claims-based authentication can be achieved using the Convert-SPWebApplication Powershell cmdlet. Please consult Migrate from classic-mode to claims-based authentication in SharePoint 2013 (https://technet.microsoft.com/en- us/library/gg251985.aspx) for instructions.
