Missing PowerPoint Automation Services in SharePoint 2013
SharePoint 2013 Service application are missing from SharePoint Farm
Missing PowerPoint Automation Services in SharePoint 2013
SharePoint 2013 Service application are missing from SharePoint Farm
When we go to SharePoint Central Administration->Application Management->Manage Service Applications->New menu dropdown – but Word Automation Services and other service applications services are there but we wont have the PowerPoint Autocmation Service in SharePoint 2013
When we use the farm configurator wizard to install all the services, powerpoint conversion service app and workflow service app are installed. If we elect to configure everything ourself, the option to install these simply doesn’t exist in Central Admin and it happens for SP 2010 and SP 2013 as well
We can use the Farm Configuration Wizard to create them; just we need to check the check-box for the ones we want it to create.
Not all service applications have the property set that allows them to be displayed in the drop-down in the New area of the service application page. Even 2010 had a few that did that
But still we can create a new PowerPoint Automation Service application and proxy for SharePoint 2013 using powershell scripts
New-SPPowerPointConversionServiceApplication -Name “PowerPoint Automation Service” -ApplicationPool “SharePoint Web Services Default”
New-SPPowerPointConversionServiceApplicationProxy -Name “PowerPoint Automation Service” -ServiceApplication “PowerPoint Automation Service”
