Not particularly descriptive as the status code is OK - attempting behind a firewall but all other checks are successful.

It should be possible to create matters with identical Matter Names for different clients.

The page /pages/MatterProvision.aspx throws Uncaught reference errors in common.js, FilterPanel.js, and MatterProvision.js.
Apparently, these objects reference the values in App_GlobalResources/Constants.resx and App_LocalResources/MatterProvision.resx but these variables are never getting initialized.
It is possible to make these errors go away by adding code that parallels the .resx files such as
var oGlobalConstants = {
Add_To_Mail_Cart: "/AddToMailCart",
Admin_Support_URL: "#",
All_Documents_Message: "Manage documents: view, edit, or pin a document",
All_Documents_Title: "All documents",
...etc...
};
But this is the hard way around it. Somewhere there's probably a single line of code that isn't getting fired.

has anyone had an issue when publishing the content types to a site where the managed metadata does not move over to the site columns?

When a new matter request is submitted to MatterProvision.svc, ProvisionHelperFunctions.CreateMatterUtility is called which creates the matter library, OneNote library, calendar, task list, then breaks permissions (optionally copying permissions), and returns the new URL.

This is a subset of operations performed by a provisioning engine.

I propose initially to separate out the included list creation code so that it sits behind a 'provision' interface.

Then we can move on to implementing the interface for other provisioning engines.

Possibly future tasks:

• allow configuration of a list template location to be used for provisioning (so that folders, documents etc are easily customisable within SP)
• make the provisioning asynchronous so that MatterProvision.svc.cs returns quickly without waiting for provisioning to complete (with associated UI changes to indicate that provisioning is in progress)

The source of the helper Utilities is missing.

I can find the .exe files for this but not the source in mattercenter / tree / master / cloud / src / deployments / Scripts / Helper Utilities /

There are not too many Dedicated customers out there but please can you clarify whether Matter Center supports SharePoint Online Dedicated. Thanks!

Hard-coded values for Location/Affinity Group and Resource Group will cause a deployment failure if WebSite and Service are not located in "West US" and "Default-Web-WestUS"
It would be helpful if the Build and Deployment Guide noted this requirement or (even better) if the scripts were able to discover the correct Location and Resource Group for the sites.

In the Briefcase Service, the code assumes the Library Title and URL are the same for the Personal Documents.
My dutch tenant, my Document Library in my OneDrive is called Documenten and the URL is Documents.

There are 2 places in the BriefCaseHelper methods, where this needs to be changed.

in AppInstall.ps1 my AppInstance is stuck on Initialized rather than Installing. Therefore the script is not waiting for the app to be installed in this part of the script:

While I've tried to install the matter center and while I've been debugging the PowerShell scripts I've got the feeling that the installation part of the solution could be improved quite a lot. I've not been able to get the actual solution up and running yet so I can't comment on that.

1. Settings are all over the place and repeated. A single configuration file would be helpful. Simple xml rather than an excel would be great. Updating code from GitHub is now a difficult task as settings need to be updated. Also if I contribute to the solution I will first have to take my settings out etc.
2. The creation of the sites should use the PnP provisioning engine.
3. There are a lot of PowerShell scripts (.ps1 files). The solution would become a lot better to manage if Modules were used.

On Page 19: 5. Create a folder called SharePoint App and copy the file created in Step 7 to the newly created folder

There is no Step 7 anywhere in the document.

So I got the deployment to go through successfully but I'm having trouble actually using the App. The App takes me here but the links do not work:

A process needs to be created that removes the Matter Center components and content types from a SharePoint tenancy and users' OneDrive for Business.

I had this error before, but thanks to somebody else here I figured out it had something to do with 'images' in the path.

Any idea, how I get to know wich property is wrong, or how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Issue arises when documenttemplate does not have an associated content type or has a blank. After working with the team, LCA's Sunny and Leo provided great feedback. We are now deploying to 2 production environments!!

Hi there,

I noticed that the briefcase functionality is somewhat diminished compared to all the demonstrations. The new OneDrive UI removes the ECB function (of course you can switch to classic for the time being) and also within a matter landing page the ECB is just like the default. Is this a correct observation or am I missing something?

When using the briefcase function from within the file preview dialog in the MatterCenterHome page I get this logged:
PartitionKey: BriefcaseHelperFunction
Errorcode: -2146233088
LogMessage: List 'Documents' does not exist at site with URL 'https://[tenant]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/mcadmin_[tenant]_onmicrosoft_com'.

Has someone encountered this and knows how to fix it?

Feature to validate metadata and re-map if needed. Republishing of content types as needed. This is based on the feedback as per closed issue: #63 (comment)

Has anyone noticed that the Outlook app isn't being added during deployment? We have noticed this the last 4 Office 365 E3 tenancy has had this happen? We have one server which does the deployment, we have overwritten the xml file. We are going to go back and handcraft the xml and upload to EAC.

I get an error or list of errors when I try to build the solution after updating all the files in the documentation. I have no idea where to go from here.

Thanks for your help.

I've ran the installation after I made all the changes as described in the documentation.

I'm assuming that there is something wrong with the xml mentioned. Here a copy of the contents. In the original config file there was https://service.azurewebsites.net
what is this referring to? I couldn't find what needs to be created here. So could this be the problem?

There are two constants named LogTableName that (I guess) should be renamed to a table in the Azure storage service, but there are no instructions about setting up any such tables in the Azure storage service.
Or will these perhaps be set up by the PowerShell script?

after performing the steps below. The user was unable to see or access Matter Center add-in from the app bar in Outlook or any MS. Office app.

Please let me know what is missing from my steps below.

Adding users to Matter Center

1. Add uses to App Catalog after you create the catalog
2. Sharepoint admin page
3. Choose app/app catalog/site settings/site permissions
4. Enter user from the above process

Note: This would only be needed if not pulling users and or group from AD
Adding Users to Site collection

1. Adding users to site collection (This MUST be done before starting Step 1.)
2. Admin/click on https://wbmmcpoc.sharepoint.com
3. Site settings/site permission/team site visitors
4. Modification to matter MUST also be in site owners
5. Navigate to Administrative Page/Site Collection

Adding Users to Client Collection

1. Admin page/site selection/site settings
2. Site permission on Visitors group (remove send email option) do this for all client
3. Users modifying matter MUST be added to Owners group

I'm trying to install the mattercenter and I'm running into quite a few documentation issues. I'm happy to fix these but the docx format doesn't make it easy to do so.

Error creating matter. Nothing obvious on the browser end. Nothing in the server logs.

Got an error at deploy step 6 as follows:

Step 6: Update resource and config files in build

Message: Failed to update app schema files

In the excel file there is a client id and a secret. Which Client Id and secret is this referring to? Shouldn't the 2 SharePoint add-ins have both their own secret and clientId?

A lot of the PowerShell scripts do not follow the standard of Verb-....

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714428(v=VS.85).aspx

e..g DisplayErrorInfo, CheckSharePointVersion, ScriptRoot

Also the guidelines document doesn't include PowerShell guidelines.

There is a space at the end of Line 4 in the file Microsoft.Legal.MatterCenter\AppManifest.xml that causes the app to never get fully installed on SharePoint.
If you stop the scripts from un-doing everything and navigate to the Matter Center app, you will see a message "Sorry, something went wrong with adding the app." On the App Details page, viewing Install Errors displays "The content database on the server is temporarily unavailable. Details: The URL '/sites/catalog/MatterCenter ' is invalid. It may contain illegal characters, or be too long."
Notice that there appears to be a trailing space in '/sites/catalog/MatterCenter '
The only text in the code that matches "MatterCenter " is in the file Microsoft.Legal.MatterCenter\AppManifest.xml
Change this text to "MatterCenter" and the app installs correctly and full deployment succeeds.

The installation is geared towards deploying to Azure. I am trying to run it to deploy to localhost to attempt to debug/make changes. Here's what I've got so far:

• Set debug URL on Web and Service projects to https://localhost:44377 and https://localhost:44378 respectively
• Follow deployment docs substituting [sitename].azurewebsites.net with localhost address
• Add setting 'IsDeployedToAzure' = 'True' to MCDeploymentConfig.xlsx

When running Deploy.ps1, I get the following:

Running Azure Site and Service check...
Test-AzureName : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Name'. The argument is null or empty.
Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again.

the script continues, and later stops at step 1a:

Exception Details: An item with the same key has already been added.

the "Failed to install apps to SharePoint" error is coming up right after it has been successfully loaded and installed.

I uploaded a screenshot and the log file if anyone can take a look.

Thanks.

EnsureUser fails when there is more than one match. This can happen when:

• Two users have the same title
• One user has multiple accounts

The second situation applies to me; my SharePoint Online tenant knows about both my domain account and my Microsoft account, which of course have the same title.

ValidateTeamMembers should be using the Key that comes back from the People Picker search as the EnsureUser argument instead of title.

We need to settle on what the readme documentation looks like.

Does anyone know if you have create a separate Client ID for the One Drive Ribbon app?

I finally got Matter Center to install (O365 and Azure) after several tries and several errors. A site was created for the Client in my Excel Config file, but none of the Matters from that file were created.
Also, when I try to access the Matter Center site I get this error:

An unexpected error has occured while performing your last action. Please try again. If this issue persist, please contact your administrator.

Error Code: -2146233079

Timestamp: 02-15-2016 22:49:43:5579834

I acknowledge the error and the page displays. However, if I try to create a new Matter, the "waiting" spinner never stops and the page never loads completely. Same thing if I go to the Matter Search page. And, the same error appears every time I go to a new page.

Can anyone guide me on how to go about troubleshooting this?

Thanks.

I managed to use the script to deploy the solution but there is certain part that are still not working correctly. However I must first make sure that everything are deployed where it supposed to be.

Hi All,

So I would have confirmation from those who have managed to deploy the solution and have it working FULLY.

Do the script create the following element into your app catalog?

In this case "MatterCenterMatters" is the list that add items of created matters
"Matter Center" is the hosted app that open a page where you can create a new matter
"Matter Center OneDrive.." is another hosted app. In my case it does not work
and the last two "MatterCenterHelp..." are sharepoint list.

In my client site collection (created by the script) I have the following list:

That's it. I thought that it would have a list (a calendar and other stuff) representing any created matter but this doesn't work (it might be a configuration issue).

Then have you created a site collection called MatterCenter?
Did you add the url of that site collection as the Site_Url in your constant.resx file? (What did you put as the Tenant_Url? the same then the Site_Url?)
Does that site collection contain elements that the script creates for you or did you had to create anything manually?

When you had to adjust settings did you use the resx file in the bin folder or the App_GlobalResources folder?

Line 230 appears to be checking the value $SharePointURL in MCDeploymentConfig.xlsx, however it appears that no such field exists.
As a result the script outputs: Running SharePoint Version check for False...
So when it passes this value to the CheckSharePointVersion function, it throws this exception: Exception calling "Create" with "1" argument(s): "Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined."

(I have more!)

During step 8 I'm getting some errors:

18/12/2015 15:49:50 - Step 8: Update App files for SharePoint and OneDrive Ribbon Apps

In the appinstall.ps1

line 46:
$FriendlyName = @("Matter Center Beta")

Should be:
$FriendlyName = @("Matter Center")

line 380:
$AppName = @("Matter Center Beta")
should be
$AppName = @("Matter Center")

and line
$AppInfo = Get-SPOAppInfo -Name $AppName

should be
$AppInfo = Get-SPOAppInfo -Name $AppName | Where {$_.Name -eq $AppName}

The where is needed for the second fix as Get-SPOAppInfo doesn't filter on exact matches. It does a contains filter.

I have installed Matter Center and I can not figure out this issue.

During this step 11 I'm getting a time out in the following line:
& "$HelperPath\Microsoft.Legal.MatterCenter.UpdateListPermissions" $Username $Password
}

I decompiled the UpdateListPermissions binary and the UpdateSendMailListPermissions method isn't finding the Sendmail list.

This section of the codde doesn't make much sense for an installation process.

do
{
Console.Write(".");
Thread.Sleep(30000);
clientContext.Load(lists, new Expression<Func<ListCollection, object>>[]
{
(ListCollection lists) => lists.Include(new Expression<Func<List, object>>[]
{
(List list) => list.Title,
(List list) => (object)list.HasUniqueRoleAssignments
})
});
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
list = lists.Cast().FirstOrDefault((List list) => list.Title == listName);
num++;
}
while (list == null && 20 > num);

So the code is looking for a list and then we're waiting for a while and trying the same thing 20 times. If the list doesn't exist then why would it appear at a later stage. unless this list is something that I should create manually.

The error log is giving:

Message: SendMail list was not created successfully at https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/AppCatalog/MatterCenter occurred at 21/12/2015 10:41:18

The installation documentation seems to say that Office 365 E4 is required...two questions:

1. I had heard it only required E3. Do we really need to upgrade everybody to E4?
2. E4 is being discontinued. Does that mean the requirement is going to be E5?
