IMP Considerations while Uploading large files or many files to a library

Microsoft Recommendations
If you are uploading large files--or many files that add up to a large total size--to a library, you may get errors due to the file size limit in SharePoint or timeout errors in your version of Internet Explorer.
Steps you can take to get around these errors include:
  • Upload 100 or fewer files. Uploading more than 100 files at a time is not supported.
  • Avoid uploading files larger than 250 MB, which is the maximum file size by default.
  • If your organization maintains an on-premises deployment of SharePoint, ask the server administrator to verify or increase the maximum file size limit to accommodate the size of the files you are uploading. The default size limit is 250 MB, but it can be increased.
  • For file sizes exceeding 2 GB, if you see a "Working on it" message that never goes away, follow the instructions in Microsoft Support: Internet Explorer error "connection timed out" when server does not respond.

"Upload Multiple Documents" option is missing in SharePoint 2013


Problem Description:
Assume that you access a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 document library through a computer that has Microsoft Office 2013 installed. When you try to upload multiple documents to the document library, the Upload Multiple Documents option is not available in SharePoint Server 2013.

Note: The Upload Multiple Documents option is deprecated in SharePoint Server 2013.

Resolution:
To work around this issue, do one of the following to upload documents to the SharePoint Server 2013 document library:
·         Use the Windows Explorer view
·         Use the SharePoint Server 2013 drag-and-drop functionality

For more information about how to upload, create, or delete files in a SharePoint Server 2013 library, go to the following Microsoft website:

SharePoint performance is down, factors to be considered.

Friends, it would be of great deal and help if we had an overall description of ‘what has occurred’ during determining the factors of down SharePoint performance. Below I am listing some of the key point which had clicked to my mind.
                     Is issue present on all content databases and sites in a web application?

o   If one site is having issues check the URL for the content database the site resides. – This can help determine if the issue is site specific or larger.

o   If the content database URL has issues then check other Content databases in the same web application.

o   If the web application is having issues validate other web applications in the same method.

o   Compare web applications from each SQL server, this can help determine if there is a SQL issue.

                     Is the issue present on all WFE's?

o   Test from the WFE’s and from a desktop – This can help locate any issues with Network or Load Balancer

o   Check WFE events, ULS, IIS, performance monitor

o   Do WFE’s have high CPU?

§  Is High CPU on one process/web application
§  Capture all processes organized by CPU utilization
§  Determine what web application is related to process as necessary

                     IIS SQL performing well?

o   Have the correct Teams such as SA and DBA to validate Wintel Server or SQL for any issues.

                     Involvement of all internal teams should be required and record everything for easily sharing and record.

                     When involving Microsoft share all event logs, IIS logs, ULS logs, and performance monitor logs captured with them.

A SharePoint performance troubleshooting guide from Idera would also help you to determining the factors to be considered during troubleshooting down SharePoint performance.
