SharePoint 2013 on-line Breadcrumb

Hi All,

By default SharePoint 2013 doesn’t have a breadcrumb (like the 2010 version used to have). This was a very helpful feature to navigate back in your site and some users really miss it.

Actually its not totally removed from SharePoint but its hidden in SharePoint master page.

To restore it back, Open your site master page in SharePoint designer and search for following tag

Delete the CSS attribute style="display:none;"

Save the modified master page, check it in and publish the major version.

Thanks,

The database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation.

Hi All,

While renaming sql server database if you get following error 
The database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5030) that means your database is in multi-user mode.

To resolve this issue, you need to first set database single user mode 

ALTER DATABASE dbName
SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

Now, Rename the database using following command

ALTER DATABASE dbName MODIFY NAME = dbName_new

At the end, Set database mode to multi-user 

ALTER DATABASE dbName

SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

Hope this will resolve your issue.

Thanks & Regards,
Sachin K.
