Description

During upgrade to 6.3 the ‘Quest Web Parts’ site-collection feature has been disabled for all sites

Please wait...
When upgrading QuickApps for SharePoint the site-collection feature "Quest Web Parts" has been disabled for all site collections after the solution was re-deployed. This means that users cannot add new web parts to any site pages until the feature has been activated again for each site collection.

Cause

One possible cause of this issue would be that the installation account used for the upgrade did not have the correct permissions to each site collection where the feature was deployed.

Resolution

There are two possible resolutions to this issue:

RESOLUTION 1

Manually activate the site-collection feature "Quest Web Parts" for each site collection where the feature is required.

RESOLUTION 2

Use PowerShell to activate the feature for all site collections. An example of a script to perform this task is below:

$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication -Identity WebApplicationURL
$webApp | Get-SPSite -limit all | ForEach-Object {Enable-SPFeature -Identity “QuestWebParts” -Url $_.Url}

Defect ID
