The following section provides tips and tricks in order to get the Granular Recovery Extension for

SharePoint to work.

Please note: Not all of these tips are applicable to every Microsoft SharePoint environment.

Check farm solution

Data Protector Granular Recovery Extension for SharePoint is installed as a farm solution into the

SharePoint farm. The farm solution package is named: moss_gre_20**.wsp

After installation of GRE the farm solution should be deployed successful. This can be checked in

Central Administration.

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010:

Central Admin Page > System Settings > Manage Farm Solutions

>moss_gre_2010.wsp

Central Admin Page > Operations > Solution management > moss_gre_2007.wsp

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007:

No internet access

If your SharePoint environment doesn’t have any internet access or a slow internet connection, the HP

Data Protector Granular Recovery Extension signature verification will fail or timeout, and the “Import

from Backup” will hang.

To disable the signature verification, locate the files cliproxy.exe and

HP.Sharepoint.GranularRecovery.CLI.exe in the Microsoft SharePoint Server BIN folder.

By default, the path of the BIN folder is for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server

Extensions\14\BIN

In the BIN folder, create two new configuration files cliproxy.exe.config and

HP.Sharepoint.GranularRecovery.CLI.exe.config with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

</runtime>

</configuration>
