Ошибка is not a valid guid value

Going into the Central Administration site of our SharePoint Server 2010 farm, I try to access the «Review job definitions» page under «Monitoring» (Central Administration home page—> Monitoring—> Timer Jobs/Review job definitions) and
get an error stating that the «value is not a valid guid.» Looking further into the logs by the correlation ID, I get the following:

Has anyone had an issue similar to this, or seen anything like this happen before… and if so, what did you do? This is an instance of SPS 2010 that was upgraded from a previous MOSS 2007 production instance, before I started working  here, if that
helps any. Looking forward to any thoughts and feedback—thanks in advance!

We found that this is coming from the Buckets/Services/Search.aspx handler (ItemBuckets.Services.Search.ProcessRequestAsync() in the Sitecore.Buckets.Client dll). It happens when you use the Search for Content tab of the Select the Associated Content dialog that appears when it’s time to select the datasource for a rendering:

Behind the scenes, what’s happening is it’s executing a query to the search service, but in the search service it looks at the referrer for the selected item to use as the StartSearchLocation:

HttpRequest request = HttpContext.Current.Request;
Uri urlReferrer = request.UrlReferrer;
if (urlReferrer != null)
{
    item = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(urlReferrer.Query)["id"];
}
item = item ?? (request.Form["StartSearchLocation"] ?? request.QueryString["StartSearchLocation"]);

Unfortunately, the previous request was to /sitecore/shell/Applications/Buckets/DataSourceResult.aspx with no query string and the search is executed without a StartSearchLocation parameter in the form or the query string, so there is no value to pull for a StartSearchLocation and it falls back to the default root item.

A «fix»

According to Sitecore Support, this has been fixed in Sitecore 8.2 update-1. They also confirmed that it does not affect functionality (other than the performance of throwing and catching the exception). In the meantime, they suggest simply suppressing these messages from the logs by adding a filter to the default LogFileAppender:

<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/">
    <sitecore>
        <log4net>
            <appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.SitecoreLogFileAppender, Sitecore.Logging">
                <filter type="log4net.Filter.StringMatchFilter">
                    <stringToMatch value="Value of the StartSearchLocation '' is not a valid GUID"/>
                    <acceptOnMatch value="false" />
                </filter>
            </appender>
        </log4net>
    </sitecore>
</configuration>

A (not-so-great) alternative

Alternatively, one could decompile the class, create a custom version that handles the LocationFilter more gracefully, and then update the sitecoreshellApplicationsBucketsServicesSearch.ashx file to point to the custom class. I’ve personally decided not to do that for two reasons:

1. It means customizing something deep in Sitecore that is frequently used
2. This is a relatively minor issue

Introduction:

Microsoft has introduced UCI in v9.0 and above version. While exploring UCI, we noticed one of the user in system getting error, when user trying open Activities in UCI App.

This blog will help you to fix this issue and user will be able to open “Activities” in UCI app.

Below is the error which was face by user:

Something has gone wrong. Check technical details for more details.

Workaround:

Below are the list of options that we tried to resolve this issue:

• Checked Activities on Web Interface using same users (i.e. for e.g. “ABC”) credentials, but no error occurred when we open activities in Web Interface.
• Checked security roles of “ABC” user who was unable to open and getting error while accessing Activities in UCI App as well as for testing purpose provided “System Administrator” Role to that user, but even then issue not resolved.
• Cross checked Security roles with other User “XYZ” who is able to access “Activities” on UCI app and we noticed that User “ABC” also has the same security roles but even then he was getting above issue.

Solution:

After trying multiple options we observed that, Activities which are in Web Interface and had many views but no view was set as Default view(for that particular user who was facing this issue) i.e. not pinned up as shown in below screenshot.

So after logged in with that users credential we Pinned up view (i.e. set “My Activities”) as Default view as shown in below screenshot. Then went to UCI and refresh the page and Activities appeared on the app without throwing any error.

After refreshing the UCI app we were able to open activities using that users credentials who was facing this issue in UCI App earlier. As seen in the below screenshot.

Conclusion:

If there is no view set as “Default View” for Activities or any other entities in that case user may receive above kind of error on UCI app, so solution is set one view as Default View.
