Topic 3, Blue Yonder Airlines
Background
General Background
You are the SharePoint administrator for Blue Yonder Airlines. The company currently has a SharePoint
2010 environment. It is your responsibility to install and configure a SharePoint 2013 environment that
will be used for information management and collaboration, both internally and with external partners.
You must also migrate the existing SharePoint environment to SharePoint 2013.
Blue Yonder works with several external partners, including those described in the following table.
Blue Yonder collaborates with Wingtip Toys and Tailspin Toys to design, manufacture, and sell airlinerelated toys to customers. The Blue Yonder board of directors expects the collaborative design process
to become more effective as a result of implementing SharePoint 2013.
Technical Background
All existing servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. The network infrastructure contains an Active
Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environment. The internal AD DS domain is named
blueyonderairlines.com. User-specific contact information is stored and managed in AD DS. All
employees are located in the ActiveUsers organizational unit (OU). Active Directory Federation Services
(AD FS) is deployed in the LAN. Two AD FS proxy servers are deployed in the perimeter network. Users
log on to client computers by using the syntax username@blueyonderairlines.com.
Blue Yonder provides access to the SharePoint environment to partners through individual URLs for each
partner company. Each partner company has a dedicated web application and site collection. The
following table describes the access URLs.
In preparation for the upgrade you maximize the default upload limits for each web application.
Blue Yonder has an existing managed metadata service containing managed metadata and content
types. The content types have workflows. You create a new managed metadata service connection for
the Wingtip Toys web application.
A workflow created by Blue Yonder moves information through the product lifecycle. Each access URL
specifies a separate web application, site collection, and site.
Business Requirements
The SharePoint environment must meet the following business requirements:
Provide an environment where toy design, manufacturing, and sales
information can be shared between Blue Yonder and partner companies.
Provide a training site for internal and external users.
Allow content authors of training materials to upload documents, large
image files, and large video files for consumption by internal and external users.
Allow users to sort content by category.
Ensure that users from Wingtip Toys or Tailspin Toys can access content
only in their own areas of the portal.
Prevent users from Wingtip Toys and Tailspin Toys from adding terms or
creating enterprise keywords.
Content types and keywords must be shared between sites, site
collections, and web applications.
Simplify search processes by collecting unique characteristics and
information about each uploaded item. Allow administrators to promote search query results across the entire
environment.
Allow resource coordinators from Blue Yonder to find temporary
staffing options from Margie’s Travel contractors and employees.
Provide opportunities for social interaction between employees,
contractors, and external contacts to promote idea generation and socialization.
Utilize site feeds on all collaborative sites.
Replicate profile information in the https://blueyonderairlines.com site
to partner sites.
Ensure that third-party vendors can read and modify documents.
For publishing sites, use only friendly URLs that do not contain anything
other than the direct address. Avoid URL constructions such as
/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID = 568.
Site content must meet the following requirements:
Individual training videos must be in single files, and presented on the training site.
Changes to confidential documents must be logged.
Technical Requirements
You must meet the following technical requirements:
Store all large files outside of the SharePoint content database or
databases.
All servers must run on virtual machines.
Ensure that search queries are handled by web servers.
Ensure that all lists support multiple content types.

Note:
* From Scenario:
Allow resource coordinators from Blue Yonder to find temporary staffing options from Margie’s Travel
contractors and employees.
* How to create and configure a SharePoint Search service application
When you deploy and configure a Search service application, you perform the following main tasks:
1. Create accounts — Certain domain user accounts are required specifically for a Search service
application.
2. Create a Search service application — A Search service application provides enterprise search
features and functionality.
3. Configure the Search service application — Basic configuration of a Search service application
includes configuring a default content access account, an email contact, and content sources.
4.
You configure a Search service application on the Search Administration page for that service
application.
5. Configure the Search service application topology — You can deploy search components on
different servers in the farm. You can also specify which instance of SQL Server is used to host
the search-related databases.
* Enabling continuous crawl has the following advantages:
The search results are very fresh, because the SharePoint content is crawled frequently to keep the
search index up to date.
The search administrator does not have to monitor changing or seasonal demands for content
freshness. Continuous crawls automatically adapt as necessary to the change rate of the SharePoint
content. Create and configure a Search service application in SharePoint Server 2013
