Laserfiche SharePoint Integration 9.1 is a major release that adds support for SharePoint 2013. For a listing of new features and changes, please see Knowledge Base article 1013460
SharePoint Integration for SharePoint 2013
Before installing the Laserfiche SharePoint Integration, make sure that the following components are installed.
- SharePoint Server 2013 or SharePoint Foundation 2013 (SharePoint Services 4.0)
Note: The Laserfiche Search Integration requires SharePoint Server 2013. SharePoint Foundation 2013 does not include the necessary features required for the Search Integration.
- Web Access 8.2+ (9.1+ recommended, can be installed on a different computer from SharePoint)
- Laserfiche Server 8.2 or later (9.1+ recommended, can be installed on a different computer from SharePoint)
You should also make sure that the following Windows Server 2008/Windows Server 2012 roles and features are installed:
- The Web Server (IIS) role with the ASP.NET role service
- The ASP.NET feature in IIS must be enabled
Verify that the SQL Server instance for SharePoint is running. By default, the SQL instance for SharePoint 2013 is named SHAREPOINT.
If you have SharePoint 2010 and Laserfiche SharePoint Integration 8.2 installed on the same computer and want to upgrade, please see the following notes:
- After installing SharePoint 2013, verify that you can successfully view your SharePoint site.
- View the web.config file for your SharePoint site. Under the <system.web.extensions>\<scripting>\<webServices> section, there may be a duplicate <jsonSerialization> node. Remove the duplicate node.
- Run the Laserfiche SharePoint Integration 9.1 installation.
- Use the Laserfiche Web Part Management Utility to deploy the Laserfiche Web Parts.
- In certain cases, you may need to manually remove the following duplicate lines in the web.config file for your SharePoint site:
- Under the <system.web> section, remove the duplicate <sessionState mode="SQLServer" > line. It should look similar to the following: <sessionState mode="SQLServer" timeout="60" allowCustomSqlDatabase="true" sqlConnectionString="Data Source=yourSQLServer\SharePoint;Initial Catalog=SessionStateService_254d570e5ddb4dc3853fe11bb547cad5;Integrated Security=True;Enlist=False;Connect Timeout=15" />
- Under the <system.webServer> section, under <modules>, remove the duplicate <add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule" /> line.
General
- The SharePoint Integration install process can take an extended period of time to finish after its status has switched to Complete. If this occurs, click Cancel, open the SharePoint Integration installation media, and run PostInstall.exe as an administrator. (112434)
Repository Access Web Part and Search Web Part
- 1012850 Uninstalling Laserfiche SharePoint Integration 8.2 or 9.1. (78962)
- When the SharePoint Integration is installed with a language pack, the Search Web Part and Repository Access Web Part appear in different categories in SharePoint when adding a Web Part. (112476)
- When used with Web Access versions earlier than 9.1, the Scanning download link does not go to the correct URL. As a workaround, manually change this URL to include the appropriate version number (e.g., LFWebScan91.exe to LFWebScan82.exe). (112350)
- A SharePoint page with the Laserfiche Search Web Part may take longer than expected to fully load if the Laserfiche repository contains a large number of templates and fields. (79490)
- If you are using the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer 9, you will not be able to launch Scanning from the Repository Access Web Part. (78602)
- If you have Saved Searches, the Reset button resets the Search Part to the first saved search, instead of clearing all search types. (79488)
- Launching Web Scanning from the Repository Access Web Part always prompts you for authentication. (78585)
- Changes to the search results columns display in the Laserfiche Search Part take effect after the next search. (75763)
- When the SharePoint Integration uses the Claims to Windows Token Service to impersonate the currently logged-in user and the Index Metadata option is enabled in the Laserfiche SharePoint Search Configuration utility, searches may return results with metadata that the user should not be allowed to see. See the troubleshooting section of the Configuring Kerberos Authentication for the Laserfiche SharePoint Integration white paper for more information.
Search Integration
- If your repository contains a folder that has two electronic documents with the same name, but one has the file extension in the entry name, the SharePoint search crawler will skip one of the documents. (79170)
- SharePoint Search may display a generic error page if a search returns too many results. The default timeout is 2 minutes. (73441)
Records Center
- In Web Access, in the Settings dialog box, under New Documents -> Outlook, you must set the default attachment behavior to File separately and have the Apply e-mail fields to attachments option set in order to file attachments separately; however, the integration will not successfully apply the same fields to the attachment document. (79078, 78536)
- The Manage Configurations page does not allow you to include a SharePoint field or Laserfiche field multiple times in the Mappings section. The configuration site will silently remove any such mappings. (52125)
- The Volume option for a newly created configuration file may be blank if the DEFAULT volume does not exist in the repository. (73786)
