June CU Breaks UPA - If you patch the child farm and not the federated farm
In Microsoft IT we encountered an issue with patching our child farm that was federated to a UPA farm that was the RTM build (without the June CU). UPA service failed until we patched the UPA Federated farm to the June CU.
Here is a Matrix of what scenario works:
Child farm RTM |
Child farm June CU |
|
UPA farm RTM |
Works |
Broken |
UPA farm June CU |
Works |
Works |
Error thrown when our farm was changed from consuming from JuneCU UPA to an RTM UPA:
User Profile Application Proxy failed to retrieve partitions from User Profile Application: Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException: No User Profile Application available to service the request. Contact your farm administrator.
at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplicationProxy.get_ApplicationProperties()
at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplicationProxy.get_PartitionIDs()
at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplicationProxy.IsAvailable(SPServiceContext serviceContext)
The SharePoint developer Team is aware of the bug and will be fixed in the August CU. Beware and plan accordingly for this scenario. Thanks!
