SharePoint Client Side REST API 500 Internal Server Error

By -
Hi There,

I have been now in code again since last two months and facing the developer life challenges :P .

I am calling the GetMyProperties from client side REST API method "/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties" but my site is throwing 500 internal server error or 400 bad request. Life time annoying errors :-/ . My code was working fine on my dev machine but not on client's server, so apparently its a server configuration issue.

Things to check when you get 500 Internal Server Error or similar IIS erros on "/_api/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" or same kind of issues is, 

1. Check your User Profile Service is running properly
2. Check your my site is configured properly
3. Check your my site is configured in my site host application in User Profile Service

In my case, the issue was, my MySite was not configured in User Profile Service and when i open MySite it throws error and a correlation ID. So i added my MySite in User Profile Service and also enabled Self-Service Site Creation on my MySite. After that my MySite appeared fine and so my code also worked fine and returned me the required data.


[code] //Display User profile properties on top header function getMyUserProfile(success, error) { var siteUrl = _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl; $.ajax({ url: siteUrl + "/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties", method: "GET", headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" }, success: function (data) { var json = $.parseJSON(JSON.stringify(data.d)); alert(json.DisplayName); }, error: error }); } [/code]

Service Bus Gateway service stuck at Starting

Lesson Learned: Never leave your servers to automatically download and install the updates. We had a SharePoint farm where Workflow manager is configured on one of its server and rest of them are just using WFM client to connect with the server. Everything was running smooth until some updates got installed on the servers over night and the next morning Workflows stuck and start giving errors. As initial check, I verified SharePoint services and WFM services, noticed that the Service Bus Gateway service is struck at Starting state. This was very generic thing but at least a point to start thinking... Troubleshooting: 1. Tried manual restart, but no luck. 2. Tried Leaving and Joining the WFM Farm again. But the timeout error. Error message received during rejoining:  “Starting Service bus gateway on machine <servername> failed: timeout has expired and the operation has not been completed” 3. Tried ULS check and noticed below error. "  Service cannot be started. Microsoft.Ser

PowerApps SubmitForm not clearing People Picker value

Although its a great experience working with Microsoft products but sometimes they surprises you with bugs that being a developer you would not expect. You may come across the problem that PowerApps SubmitForm is not updating data in SharePoint list, specially the People Picker type field (could be the same case with datetime type as well. Same thing I have experienced that while working on a PowerApps form which is connected with simple SharePoint list, I was unable to update the value of People Picker control which was having no special settings in SharePoint, just simple out of the box list with Title and a People Picker column. Spent hours on it but no gain. Finally the Google, a friend who can help you to find the right thing if you search for it. I came across this and this post and found similarity. Made the same changes and boom...! It worked..! You just need to turn ON the Fomula level error management under the Advance Settings. Below is the settings which I set to Yes. Have

Since there is no major updates in Workflow Manager installation process for last couple of years, the offline installation became really difficult. Microsoft recommends to install it through WPI  tool, however sometimes the online installation also becomes a nightmare. This is what happened recently. Problem Description: For one of our client, we had to prepare environment with following. SharePoint Server Enterprise 2019 Window Server 2019 Standard Workflow Manager 2013 As usual I followed the same installation guide which ran fine few weeks ago with another different environment but here we faced the below error while installing Workflow Manager Refresh 1.0 (CU2). "The product did not install successfully. Download file failed signature verification and may have been tampered with" Tried to run the setup multiple times but nothing helped. Checked all the available discussion threads on Microsoft's and other forums but nothing helped much. However I must thanks PeterFle
