How to migrate SharePoint 2007 to 2013 with database and UI ? I am new in SharePoint. Actually I have two server in 1 server I have 2007 SharePoint which is on running and 2 have SharePoint 2013. Now I want to migrate all the content from 2007 to 2013 without changing the links in 2007.
You can refer to Microsoft's official documentation for upgrading to SharePoint 2013 here.
Specifically, you'll want to follow the instructions found under Advanced Upgrade Scenarios for SharePoint 2013 entitled Upgrade from Office SharePoint Server 2007 or Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to SharePoint Server 2013 or SharePoint Foundation 2013
Here's the relevant excerpt:
You cannot upgrade directly from the server products in the Office 2007 release to SharePoint 2013. The changes between versions are too great, and the hardware requirements differ so much between versions that a direct upgrade is not possible or supported. However, you can perform a series of database-attach upgrades to first upgrade your content to SharePoint 2010 Products and then to SharePoint 2013. This article describes how to perform these sequential database-attach upgrades.
Process Overview
Because this upgrade approach combines two upgrade processes that are already documented in the TechNet library, this article describes how the steps from each process fit together into the overall process. It does not provide details for every step, because those steps are available in the following articles:
• Perform a database attach upgrade to SharePoint Server 2010 and Checklist for database attach upgrade (SharePoint Server 2010)
• Upgrade databases from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 and Checklist for database-attach upgrade (SharePoint 2013)
These combinations of articles and this roadmap give you the information to perform the sequential database-attach upgrades.
The full instructions are available at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee947141.aspx

One of my customers is trying to migrate an old WSS 3.0 SP1 server to Office 365 ( better late than never :) ).
Unfortunately, he never added the SP2 on this server and he doesn't have an installer. We tried to add the SP2 from "Microsoft Update Catalog" but with no effect on this server.
A SP2010 farm was created to migrate the site collections with the SharePoint Migration Tool. However, the SP2 is required to upgrade the content databases to SP2010.
We also tried to use a tool like ShareGate but the size of the sites collections is to important with a big impact in term of delay. My customer don't want to buy a specific tool for a "one shot".
Does someone know if it's possible to download an installer of WSS 3.0 with SP2 (or SharePoint 2007 with SP2) ? I found a lot of broken link because of this old version.
Also, do you think it could be possible to export a WSS 3.0 SP1 site collection and import it directly in SP2010 with Powershell command (I mean especially because of the missing SP2 and the size > 70GB) ?
Thank you !
I heard that SharePoint Server 2016 has been released.
How can I install new SharePoint server 2016?
does anyone has a reference?
SharePoint 2016 is only in technical preview at the moment. If you're determined you can download it from here. I would not deploy this on any production systems. This is purely for review and is not yet in a release state.
Is following scenario possible?
We have got TFS 2013 installed as a standard single server. This server has got the SQL db.
We have got SharePoint 2013 installed on another machine.
Now we want to integrate TFS 2013 with SharePoint 2013 along with SSRS and SSAS for reports, etc.
Please guide whether this is possible or we need to install TFS via Advanced mode again?
No problem, you can integrate your existing TFS single server deployment with your external SharePoint server assuming you have the necessary permissions.

Adding SSRS and SSAS is relatively simple too and can be on the same server as TFS or a different one.

I'd like to put a table form oracle on my sharepoint 2010 (and soon to be updated 2013) site so that the table can be updated and new rows can be inserted. After googling using BCS seems to be the only option. Is this correct? the Sharepoint designer will not work with Oracle?
Also when I open Visual Studio 2012 Professional and click on new project>>Sharepoint>>Sharepoint 2010 Project I get an error saying
Sharepoint server must be installed to workwith share point projects.
Do I need to install sharepoint server on my machine?
Can anyone provide any documentation on how to do this? what happens when I go to Sharepoint 2013?
Oh yea and I have windows 7. Will sharepoint server work on windows 7?
Thank you!
I'll try to answer all your questions.
Oracle connectivity
BCS supports Oracle but it's not trivial. Sharepoint designer is a tool where you can create External Types (BCS types). But with Sharepoint Designer you are limited to SQL Server, WCF Services and .NET assemblies. There are few workarounds:
Create linked server to oracle in SQL Serve Management Studio and use Sharepoint Designer to create BCSentities
You can create service for fetching oracle data and use Sharepoint designer to create BCS entities
If you just want to display some data from oracle and have developer knowledge. You can use ODAC for .NET and create webparts for displaying data (the simplest solution of all).
For Sharepoint 2010 Development you have to install sharepoint (foundation or server) on copmuter where your VS resides. Sharepoint foundation could be installed on Windows 7 x64. Installation is trivial download sharepoint foundation and run installation file.
For Sharepoint 2013. You can create apps and client apps on remote computer but for farm solutions there is the same rule (but SP 2013 can't be installed on Windows 7).
I've been looking around TFS 2013 screenshots and I notice how it look like it's implemented over Sharepoint 2013...
So, when i install TFS 2013, do I get a full blown sharepoint (with central admin and everything), just a site collection (a "light" version of it) or none (meaning if, i want a web interface, i have point to my sharepoint and say "use that one")???
PS: Since i'm in a corporate environment i don't have a spare machine to just install it and check it for myself, and other documentation don't make this clear...
TFS has its own web-based interface (TFS Web Access) that isn't based on SharePoint. It also has the ability to integrate with SharePoint which will cause SP-based Project Portals to be created with every Team Project (this is in addition to TFS Web Access).
When you install TFS you can choose to have the TFS Install install/configure SharePoint Foundation, or you can point it to a pre-existing SP Foundation or Enterprise environment.
SharePoint Foundation 2013 can be installed with TFS, if you specify that in the installation.
