How are NewsFeeds Created and Stored in Sharepoint 2013


In SharePoint Server 2013, the newsfeed (or just simply the feed) displays activity information to users. Users access the feeds from a user's My Site. In SharePoint Server 2013, a user's My Site has several feeds available from which to choose. These different feeds show different views of activity information by filtering or pivoting on activity metadata. The different feeds available to users from their My Sites include the following:

  • Newsfeed   
  • Everyone   
  • Activities   
  • Mentions   
  • Likes   
How are Feeds Created - All Activities are written to the Distributed Cache.The microblog features and feeds rely on the Distributed Cache to store data for very fast retrieval across all entities. Feeds mainly Rely on the following two Caches from Distributed Cache service.
  • "Feed Cache" that Stores recent activities and recent conversations for all entities
  • "Last Modified Time Cache" which is used to determine the last modified time for all items in the Feed Cache.
 
The feed queries the Last Modified Time Cache to retrieve time stamp information and metadata of recent activities.This information is then used as input to query the Feed Cache to retrieve activity data.The requested Microblogging feed is then constructed by using the activity data retrieved from the Feed Cache.
How are Feeds Stored - Some activities are saved to the content databases. If the activity is a user activity or site activity, the activity is saved to the My Sites content database. If the activity is a site feed activity, the activity is saved in the team sites content database. Tags and document activities are not saved to content databases.

IRM and the Object Model

A couple of weeks earlier, I saw an interesting issue. It was a normal day as far as days go in support and in comes this issue, where the person in question wants to investigate or rather should I say automate the process of creating IRM settings on document libraries. I wasn't working on this issue and a colleague took this over. But then somewhere it was lurking, how the hell do you do that? The natural starting point is getting a site/web context and going down to the list and then getting dirty with the properties exposed by the particular SPList object. So after finishing what I had on my plate, I dug into figuring out how exactly to set the IRM settings for a list using the object model. So here goes: Step 1 Enable IRM on the farm SPWebService svc = SPFarm.Local.Services.GetValue<SPWebService>(); SPIrmSettings irmSettings    = svc.IrmSettings;irmSettings.IrmRMSEnabled    = true;//set true or false based on the situation irmSettings.IrmRMSUseAD      = true; irmSett

 Today i have faced one issue while mount content database to server. the issue is " This content database has a schema version which is not supported in this farm." I was getting this error when i ran Mount-SPContentDatabase using powershell.  I tried checking SP versions and other things finally got solution in below way Reason: Once you have taken the backup from SharePoint 2013 content database, usually you will restore the database in the target SQL server. After restoring the database, you will try to restore content database in any one of Webapplication most probably new one. In this stage, you will get the above error message. Solution: Your source SQL server schema and the destination SQL server schema might not be matched. So you need to update the "Versions" table values in the "Restored Database". 1. Open " Versions " table from any of the existing "Content database"  from the Target SQL Server machine in "

Activate and Deactivate Feature through PowerShell

Image
I was looking at the analytics of the site the other day and I noticed that my post,  Adding and Deploying Solutions with PowerShell , currently has the most traffic on the site.  I had always intended to write a follow up post on this, so here it is.  Today I’m going to talk about how to enable and disable features using PowerShell.  It’s great that you know how to deploy solutions now with PowerShell, but now you want to activate your features. In SharePoint 2007 to activate a feature from the command line you might have used a statement like the one below.  I’ll use the  Reporting  feature on my server named  sp2010  as an example.  The value specified in the  name  parameter refers to the actual folder name of the feature that is in your SharePoint Root folder (14 hive). stsadm.exe –o activatefeature –name Reporting  – url http://sp2010 To get started with PowerShell, run the SharePoint 2010 Management Console located in your Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products folder on your s
