Sandboxed solutions (SharePoint Server 2010)

What is Sandbox solutions ?

Sandboxed solutions restrict access to network and local resources to provide greater security and stability. You can use sandboxed solutions for load balancing solutions, for solutions that have not been fully tested, and for deploying user solutions in a hosted environment. Sandboxed solutions run in a separate worker thread so that they cannot access resources that belong to other solutions, and they have limited access to local and network resources

Plan sandboxed solutions (SharePoint Server 2010)

• Determine when to use sandboxed solutions
• Plan to load balance sandboxed solution code

• Determine which site collections will run sandboxed solutions by using quotas
• Plan resource usage quotas for sandboxed solutions
• Plan sandboxed solutions service tiers
• Plan sandboxed solutions governance

Business Data Connectivity connectors are currently enabled in a partitioned environment: SharePoint 2013.

Problem: You could see in SharePoint Health Analyzer rule "Business Data Connectivity connectors are currently enabled in a partitioned environment."

Background:  Business Data Connectivity (BDC) Models containing External Content Types with database, WCF, Web service or custom connectors can be used by tenants to elevate their user permissions. In a partitioned environment, we recommend you disable the Business Data Connectivity connectors.

Reason for error: Business Data Connectivity connectors are currently enabled in a partitioned environment.

Resolution: Disable unwanted connectors by using Windows PowerShell.

To disable unwanted connectors, follow these steps:

1.      Click Start, click All Programs.

2.      Click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.

3.      Click SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.

4.      At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy

5.      Note the Business Data Connectivity proxy instance.

6.      You must set the EnableSystemType property to false for each unwanted connector. To do this, at the Windows PowerShell prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

$proxy.EnableSystemType("Connector_type",$false)
