New Features in SharePoint 2013

1.) Deployment Flexibility

SharePoint Server 2013 provides unprecedented deployment flexibility, whether you’re looking to deploy on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid scenario. As business needs and technological advancements converge, IT professionals have a unique opportunity to take advantage of new innovations in their organizations. For example, IT professionals need an infrastructure that scales up and down quickly to meet changing business needs, minimize downtime and failures, and maximize cost efficiencies. Fortunately, several key innovations are making that possible:

1.) Virtualization

IT departments can respond more quickly to requests from business units, reducing the time it takes to deploy infrastructure and services. Plus, as always, virtualization significantly reduces the number of physical servers required to support the business.

2.) Cloud-based Applications

Anywhere access to critical applications can help to enhance work productivity, improve communication, and increase customer touch, allowing organizations to improve their regular business rhythm and respond to market changes and opportunities.

3.) Multitenancy and Cross-premises Integration

These innovations help IT departments and hosting service providers maximize existing infrastructure investments while exploring new services, improved management, and higher availability.

2.) Service Applications

While SharePoint Server 2013 provides a service application architecture consistent with SharePoint Server 2010, its new services are designed to maximize your investment and make information available to more people, in more formats, with more efficiency.

1. ) Translation Services

You can reach more people with new cloud-based translation services capable of translating not only sites, but also their content. These services have a comprehensive set of APIs, REST, and CSOM support, so content can be pretranslated when needed, or translated on the fly by users—asynchronously, synchronously, or streaming.

2. ) App Management

Applications are core to the SharePoint Server 2013 experience. A SharePoint application is a secure, focused solution that is easy to develop, deploy to a marketplace, monitor, and retire. Moreover, managing applications should be easy. SharePoint Server 2013 includes a new App Management Service designed to take the guesswork out of managing applications, permissions, and licensing, whether installed from the SharePoint Marketplace or Internal App Directory.

3.) Work Management

Software should work together. With SharePoint Server 2013, you can gain a 360-degree view of workplace activities and improve communication across your organization through connected systems. A new Work Management Service provides support for action-based event aggregation across Microsoft server products, including Microsoft Exchange Server, Lync® Server, Project Server, and SharePoint Server 2013. For example, users can edit tasks from Microsoft Exchange Server on a mobile phone, and the Work Management Service aggregates tasks from Exchange Server in the My Tasks SharePoint list.

4.) PowerPoint Automation Service

Information is at the core of SharePoint Server, and making that information available in a variety of formats leads to broader collaboration and access to improvements in software. SharePoint Server 2013 provides the new PowerPoint Automation Service (similar to the current Word Automation Service), which can automatically convert Microsoft PowerPoint® presentations into a variety of formats to promote a high degree of accessibility. Formats include converting from older Microsoft Office documents to newer Office documents, web pages, or PDFs.

5.) Office Web Apps

Office Web Apps has evolved into a separate server product, Office Web Apps Server, that can serve multiple SharePoint farms for viewing and editing documents. In addition, a server or farm that runs Office

Web Apps can be used to view files that are stored across data stores,

including the following:

• Microsoft server products, especially SharePoint Server,

Exchange Server, and Lync Server.

• File servers (URL accessible).

Third parties also can integrate with the service and provide access to documents in their stores, such as EMC Documentum, IBM FileNet, OpenText, and Oracle.

By separating Office Web Apps from the SharePoint farm, administrators can update servers more frequently, if desired. Administrators in large organizations can manage the scale and performance of Office Web Apps independent of the SharePoint environment. They also can serve multiple SharePoint farms, as well as Exchange Server and Lync Server, from one Office Web Apps Server environment.

6.) User Profile Service

User profile properties drive a broad set of SharePoint features—from social collaboration to authorization. SharePoint Server 2013 simplifies access to user properties with new profile import options that range from a traditional Microsoft Forefront® Identity Manager-based approach, to new direct Active Directory® Domain Services synchronization, to choices for using an external identity manager. Overall, you should see significant improvements in performance while also having greater

flexibility.

3.) Performance 

1.) Distributed Cache

Data-driven applications have become increasingly prevalent as data is consumed from more diverse sources, such as business applications, syndicated feeds, and social contexts. SharePoint Server 2013 includes a new Distributed Cache Service built on the reliability of Windows Server® AppFabric® Caching. Distributed caching helps to ensure that no request takes too long.

2.) Disk I/O

With an increased need for larger quotas, storage costs remain a concern in many SharePoint environments, and there is generally very little room in IT budgets to multiply storage capacity by two, three, or even four times. In parallel, industry shifts and advancements have led to more high-capacity, low-cost commodity storage options. SharePoint Server 2013 can be deployed to a variety of storage architectures without sacrificing availability. Building on the performance improvements in SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2013 delivers a significant reduction in disk input/output (I/O), lowering the bar for minimum disk performance. In addition, smoother I/O patterns reduce contention, making more storage options available to support a SharePoint Server 2013 infrastructure.

3.) Shredded Storage

Shredded Storage is designed to reduce an organization’s storage footprint, minimize bandwidth, and improve performance through a new file save algorithm that ensures all write costs for file update operations are proportional to the size of the change being made to the file (and not the size of the file itself). Shredded Storage enables the storage of incremental updates to files in SharePoint Server by breaking a file into pieces and storing those pieces in Microsoft SQL Server®.

4.) Minimal Download

SharePoint Server 2013 provides a rich, intuitive browsing experience. Minimal Download in SharePoint Server 2013 provides a new navigation framework that significantly improves page load performance and makes SharePoint Server feel more like a rich application. Minimal Download is designed to ensure a user only receives the difference between the source and destination page, minimizing bandwidth and improving overall performance.

To determine what content requires updates, Minimal Download implements a download manager interface between controls and content placeholders on the page and server. Developers can take advantage of Minimal Download by implementing controls and master pages that support the framework. Where controls do not support Minimal Download, the request reverts to a classic fully rendered page, ensuring pages are always available.

Data Platform

Scale and performance improvements are evident across SharePoint Server 2013, with depth that extends to the database layer. Database improvements in SharePoint Server 2013 take advantage of enhancements and capabilities through SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, including:

• Conforming to Microsoft SQL Azure™ compliance criteria.

• Removing redundant and unused tables and indices to track links.

• Reducing I/O operations while browsing document libraries.

• Using SQL sparse columns to simplify SharePoint database schema

and optimize data access.

• Improving large list dependencies.

Social Computing

Social computing and collaboration enable people to work in ways that are familiar to them, but as social computing becomes more pervasive, more demand is put on the supporting infrastructure. To keep up with these demands, social computing data is now stored in the content database where personal sites are hosted, providing a method to scale horizontally in parallel with demand.


Request Management
Request Management in SharePoint Server 2013 enables IT to prioritize and route incoming requests through a rules engine that applies logic to determine the nature of the request and the appropriate response.
Request Management can be used to:
• Route requests to servers with good health characteristics based
on a new weighting schema.
• Identify and block known bad requests such as web robot.
• Prioritize requests by throttling lower priority requests to preserve resources
for those of higher priority.
• Route specific request types to other servers, either within or outside of the
farm handling the request.


Developer Dashboard
A completely redesigned Developer Dashboard makes important information about performance and reliability readily available. The Developer Dashboard aggregates details about individual requests and surfaces them in a new unified view. It also provides an improved structured view of request details through a revised user experience. This information, presented right on the page, can be invaluable for administrators working to troubleshoot performance issues, as well as developers
working to debug and optimize their code. The Developer Dashboard is disabled by default and can be enabled for each web application independently by using the Windows PowerShell® command-line interface.


Multiple Screens
In today’s connected world, responding to the consumerization of IT can be challenging. With a proliferation of devices across the organization, you need to be sure your software will support users’ preferred equipment. SharePoint Server 2013, with deep investment in HTML5, provides IT professionals and designers with capabilities that enable device-specific targeting of content. This helps ensure that users have access to the information they need, regardless of the screen they choose
to access it on. SharePoint Server 2013 further empowers your workforce by delivering a consistent
experience across screens, whether using a browser on the desktop, a mobile device, or a tablet or slate. Through this rich experience, users can easily transition from one client to another without having to sacrifice feature fidelity.


Mobile
Making decisions faster and keeping in contact are critical capabilities for increasing effectiveness in any organization. Users’ ability to access information while on the go is now a workplace necessity. In addition to a consistent cross-screen experience, SharePoint Server 2013 provides the latest technologies and standards for mobile push and information synchronization.

Open Data Protocol
The amount of information created and stored within applications has grown exponentially. However, that data is often limited to a specific application, resulting in data silos. SharePoint Server 2013 provides a more secure and consistent method for accessing and presenting external data through services such as Excel Services, Business Connectivity Services, and PerformancePoint Services. New support for the Open Data Protocol (OData) also allows people to take information outside of
application boundaries, providing integration and interoperability across a broad range of clients, servers, and services.

Business Connectivity Services

The information that lives outside of SharePoint Server boundaries has become as important as the information that lives within them. Users no longer create data in isolation: They compile, aggregate, and surface it. As external data has become ubiquitous, SharePoint Server 2013 introduces improvements across its business connectivity architecture to make working with data outside of SharePoint Server more transparent.
Business Connectivity Services enables more secure and efficient read/write access to a variety of external data. This is done through a comprehensive framework that provides standard user and programming interfaces. Further, you can create a wide range of business solutions—both no-code SharePoint Composite solutions for simple-to-intermediate activities and code-based solutions for advanced needs. SharePoint Server 2013 significantly improves the ability of Business Connectivity
Services to alleviate bottlenecks by offloading data retrieval, paging, filtering, and sorting to the external data source. This reduces memory and processing pressure on SharePoint Server, improving display, refresh, and data operations for users—whether through the browser with SharePoint Server or through the client with Microsoft Office products.


Search
In SharePoint Server 2013, search is better integrated with enterprise infrastructure, based on an entirely new engine that combines the simplicity and out-of-box relevance provided by SharePoint Search with the massive scale and extensibility offered by Microsoft FAST™ Search Server. IT can deploy a scalable search architecture that allows users to search remote data sources, navigate enterprise repositories, and bring more data within reach through new individual search results
based on how people interact with information in their daily work. SharePoint Server 2013 also extends traditional data search capabilities into a true knowledge search by including the expertise of people. Best practices can be disseminated rapidly because people can contribute knowledge easily through blogs, wikis, personalized sites, and communities of practice. This tacit knowledge then
becomes discoverable through search, so it can be reused for business value.


Business Intelligence
With SharePoint Server 2013, organizations can derive greater value from their investments in data warehouse and business intelligence (BI) and analytics systems. Self-service BI makes the insights from enterprise data more broadly and easily accessible across the entire organization. Users can build query and visualization tools and scorecards and expose enterprise data with dashboards. SharePoint Server 2013 BI enhancements include beautiful visualizations through Power View reports, improvements across Excel Services for exploring data, and tighter security and control for managing BI assets with new compliance tools. All of these capabilities are supported across devices and platforms, both on-premises and in the cloud.

Business Intelligence Center
A new, streamlined Business Intelligence Center site template is available to help manage reports, scorecards, dashboards, and data sources in a central location. Users can access Excel Services to publish reports, as well as PerformancePoint Services to create scorecards and dashboards.

Excel Services
Excel Services provides users with a rich experience and new capabilities when working with web-based workbooks.
• Power View now empowers users to visually explore data, quickly create
interactive visualizations, and easily present and share reports—all with the
familiarity of Microsoft Excel®.
• Users have the ability to mash-up and analyze data from virtually any source
and rapidly create compelling analytical applications using PowerPivot in Excel
and publishing to SharePoint Server.
• New data navigation features make it easier to drill into data displayed in Excel
Services reports and dashboards.
• Timeline controls render in a browser window similarly to those in the
Microsoft Excel client.
• Context menus in a browser window resemble right-click menus in the
Excel client.
• In a browser window, users can add, change, and remove items from rows,
columns, values, and filters in PivotChart and PivotTable reports.
• With Excel Services, users can publish workbooks that contain calculated
measures and members.
These capabilities can help your organization achieve better business outcomes
by increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of users, while reducing IT cost
and complexity. Plus, because the IT department maintains control over security
and policies, these benefits can be attained in a highly secure manner.

PerformancePoint Services

PerformancePoint Services provides a new level of transparent dashboards, complete with a fresh look and feel and capabilities such as searching items within filters, using custom background images, and support for moving entire dashboards to other locations in SharePoint Server. For example, executives and business users can monitor and discuss information through collaborative BI Dashboards, enabling them to make better decisions using scorecards and social features. Other key capabilities of PerformancePoint Services include the following:
• Users can create integrated dashboards that bind important reports and
scorecards customized for monitoring progress.
• Insights can be socialized to encourage collaboration using features such as
recommending reports and authors, tagging favorite documents and libraries,
and starting discussions on micro blogs and personal sites.
• SharePoint Enterprise Search enables users to instantly find trusted reports and
expose popular assets.

Timer job in SharePoint 2013

What is Time Job ?

 A timer job runs in a specific Windows service for SharePoint 2013. Timer jobs perform infrastructure tasks for the Timer service, such as clearing the timer job history and recycling the Timer service. Timer jobs also perform tasks for web applications, such as sending email alerts. A timer job contains a definition of the service to run and specifies how frequently the service is started. The SharePoint Timer service (SPTimerv4) runs timer jobs. Many features in SharePoint 2013 rely on timer jobs to run services according to a schedule.

Manage timer jobs

the SharePoint Central Administration website has a Timer Job Status page on which you can check the status of a timer job and a Job Definitions page on which you can edit the timer job definition. You can find links to these pages in Central Administration, on the Monitoring page, in the Timer Jobs section. You can click Review job definitions to see a list of all timer jobs, or click Check job status to see scheduled and running timer jobs.

On the Timer Job Status page, on the View menu, you can filter the timer jobs at the following levels:

• All   Displays all timer jobs for the farm.
• Service   Displays all the timer jobs for a particular service. If you select this option, use the Service menu to select the service by which you want to filter the listed jobs.
• Web Application   Displays all the timer jobs for a web application. If you select this option, use the Web Application menu to select the web application by which you want to filter the listed jobs.
• Server   Displays all the timer jobs for the specified server. If you select this option, use the Server menu to select the server by which you want to filter the listed jobs.
• Job Definition   Displays all the timer jobs for the specified job definition. On the Timer Job Status page, open the Job Definition menu, and then click Change Job Definition to get a list of job definitions.
• Failed Jobs   Displays all the timer jobs on the farm that failed to finish.

The SharePoint Timer service (SPTimerv4) is based on the Gregorian calendar for scheduling. For every job that you schedule, you specify when the timer job will run, specified in a 24-hour time format. You must specify the time in local time instead of as an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The time is stored in that format. By default, daily, weekly, and monthly schedules also include a window of execution. The timer service selects a random time within the window of execution interval to start the job on each applicable server. This capability helps to reduce the overall load of resource-intensive timer jobs that run on multiple servers on the farm. You can specify timer job schedules on the Edit Timer Job page or by using Windows PowerShell. For more information, see Use Windows PowerShell cmdlets to manage timer jobs in SharePoint 2013.
