The Design Branding Package creation failure issue related to a SharePoint 2013 bug

I had been worked on a SharePoint 2010 Internet sites upgraded to SharePoint 2013 project in 2014.

The SharePoint 2010 site was customized with some farm solutions. 

I experienced the Design Manager Design Package creation failure issue in SharePoint 2013 which upgraded from SharePoint 2010. The Design Package was used for the site branding deployment.
I added the branding sources files including JavaScript, HTML master page, CSS and images to another clean out of box site collection and then the design package can be created successfully on there. But after deployed those custom farm solutions to this site collection, and package creation was failure again.   

So I started to look at this issue around those custom solution. I found out the root cause of the design package creation failure was the special character (ASCII) ▲ added to the custom property bag value.

I went to SharePoint designer and then clicked on “Site Options”, and then removed above character from the value of the custom property bag, and then tested the design package creation successfully. 

 Attached the screenshot from the powershell window as below.

The issue was reported to Microsoft and they came back said that was the bug in the product.
The Design Manage will create the design package which contains non-branding resources such as custom property bag, field types, etc.

SharePoint 2013 error - "Application error when access /_vti_bin/client.svc"

I had been received a error message " Application error when access /_vti_bin/client.svc, Error=Path '/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery' is forbidden " when try to add user account to a user group in SharePoint 2013 Portal . I searched the issue in google and found out it may related to security issue in local folder  "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI" of " /_vti_bin/client.svc ". I verified the user permission on this folder and found out that "IUSR" for IIS is not there, and so I granted user account "IUSR" read and execute permission in this folder. I went back to try add user account in SharePoint again, and it worked successfully this time! This issue is related to error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again." which can be resolved using above configuration. In addition, if this error still occur, check the windows features in con

Enable the Microsoft Power BI report file type (.pbix) in SharePoint Search

Image
By default, the Microsoft Power BI report file (.pbix) is not in the list of file type in SharePoint 2013 search configuration in Central Admin, and so you wouldn't open the Power BI file directly by clicking the link from the search result page. However, it's easy to add this file type by following configuration. Open “Central Admin” site, and then go to "Manage service applications”->”Search Service Application XX” (use the actual name of the “Search Service Application” in your site). Click on the “File Type” in left side navigation. Click the New File Type button and type PBIX (no period needed) in the File extension box and click OK. Restart the Search Service: Go to local “services”, stop the SharePoint Server Search service and start it again. Reset Your Index: Back on the Search Administration page within Central Administration you will want to click on the Index Reset link under Crawling on the left side menu. Press the Reset Now button.
