Error: App Management Shared Service Proxy is Not Installed

Introduction

I created a SharePoint 2013 workflow using Designer and when I tried to publish the workflow I was getting the following error:

Error Message

Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: App Management Shared Service Proxy is not installed.

Reason

This is because the App Management Service application is not created or the App Management Service is not running or the App Management Service Proxy is not added to the default proxy group.

Solution

1. Open "Central Administration".
2. Click on "Application Management" in the quick launch bar.
3. Click on "Manage Service Applications" available under the Service Applications section.
4. Check whether the App Management Service application is created, if not then create the App Management Service application.
5. Click on "Application Management" in the quick launch bar.
6. Click on "Configure service application associations" available under the Service Applications section.
7. Check whether the App Management Service proxy is added to the default proxy group, if not then add it to the default proxy group.
   
8. Click on "Application Management" in the quick launch bar.
9. Click on "Manage services on server" available under the Service Applications section.
10. Check whether the App Management Service is started, if not then start the service.

Trying to use an SPWeb object that has been closed or disposed and is no longer valid

You get above error if the code is trying to access the SPSite or SPweb object which was disposed.

Trying to use an SPWeb object that has been closed or disposed and is no longer valid.

If you have code with SPContext, do not dispose the SPWeb or SPSite objects. You can’t dispose the SPcontext objects

i.e.  we cant dispose the object SPContext.current.Web or SPContext.Current.Site directly

when you say SPWeb spWeb= SPContext.Current.Web we are not creating a new instance of spweb, we are referring to the existing instance of the web object which is already there in SPContext. if you use using (SPWeb spWeb= SPContext.Current.Web), using will dispose the spWeb object after control goes out of its scope. here catch is, you are disposing an object which is not created by you.


using (SPSite mySiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site)
{
using (SPWeb mySite = mySiteCollection.OpenWeb())
{

}
}
Above code gives you exception

so you can rewrite as

using (SPSite mySiteCollection = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
{
using (SPWeb mySite = mySiteCollection.OpenWeb())
{

}
}
or don’t use using when you use SPContext.

Hope this helps!!!

List All SharePoint PowerShell Commands

Hi All,

Here is the simple way to list all Power shell commands.

1. To know the total count:

2. List of all commands : 
    Get-Command –PSSnapin “Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell” | select name, definition | fl > C:\PowerShell_Commands.txt

Above command gives the text file which will have all the powershell commands.

JavaScriptObjectModel in SharePoint(JSOM)

Hi All,

We have JSOM is SharePoint. Lets see with different examples.

All these example can be placed in Content Editor webpart to test.

Example 1: Modify the Title of specific list item based on ID

<script type="text/javascript">
var clientContext = null;
var web = null;

function Initialize()
{
clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
web = clientContext.get_web();
this.list = web.get_lists().getByTitle('Genericlist');
this.oListItem = list.getItemById(1);
oListItem.set_item('Title', 'NewTitle updated');
oListItem.update();
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onUpdateListItemSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
}
function onUpdateListItemSuccess(sender, args) {
alert("list item updated");
}
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('request failed ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}</script>​​​
<button onclick="Initialize()">Insert</button>​​

Example 2: How to get the Created date and Last Modified date of a Site?

<div id="display"></div>  
<!-- Script Content -->  
<script type='text/javascript'>  
var oWeb;  
function getwebdetails()  
{  
    var clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current(); // equivalent to SPContext.Current  
    oWeb = clientContext.get_web(); //Gets the current Web Object    
    clientContext.load(oWeb,'Title', 'Created', 'LastItemModifiedDate');  
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onSucceeded,onFailed);  
}  
function onSucceeded()  
{  
    var strmsg = "";
    strmsg += "<b>Web Title:</b> " + oWeb.get_title() +"<br/>";
    strmsg += "Created Date: "+ oWeb.get_created()+"<br/>";
    strmsg += "Last Modified Date: "+ oWeb.get_lastItemModifiedDate();  
    document.getElementById("display").innerHTML = strmsg;
}  
function onFailed(sender, args)  
{  
    try  
    {  
        console.log('Error: ' + args.get_message());  
    }  
    catch (err)  
    {  
    }  
}  
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getwebdetails, "sp.js");  
</script>

Example 3: Get current loggedin user,id and usertitle

<script type="text/javascript">
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(init,'sp.js');
var currentUser;
function init(){
    this.clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    this.oWeb = clientContext.get_web();
    currentUser = this.oWeb.get_currentUser();
    this.clientContext.load(currentUser);
    this.clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this,this.onQueryFailed));
}

function onQuerySucceeded() {
    document.getElementById('userLoginName').innerHTML = currentUser.get_loginName();
    document.getElementById('userId').innerHTML = currentUser.get_id();
    document.getElementById('userTitle').innerHTML = currentUser.get_title();  
}

function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
    alert('Request failed. \nError: ' + args.get_message() + '\nStackTrace: ' + args.get_stackTrace());
}
</script>
<div>Current Logged User:
    <span id="userLoginName"></span>
    <span id="userId"></span>
    <span id="userTitle"></span>  
</div>

Get ItemsCount in a sharepoint list:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/sp.runtime.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/sp.js"></script>

<script type="text/ecmascript">
    var customlist ;
    function GetListInformation() {
        var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
        var oWebsite = clientContext.get_web();
        customlist = oWebsite.get_lists();
        clientContext.load(customlist);
        clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
    }      

    function onQuerySucceeded() {    
alert("Success");
         alert("Item Count : " + this.customlist.get_itemCount());
    }
