APPLIES TO: yes-img-132013 no-img-162016 no-img-192019 no-img-seSubscription Edition no-img-sopSharePoint in Microsoft 365

SharePoint 2013 includes a set of rules that you can run against a site collection to verify that it is working as expected. These rules are part of the site collection health checks. You can run the health checks from the Site Settings page or by using Microsoft PowerShell.

If you are upgrading a site collection to SharePoint 2013, the first step in the process is to run the health checks.

Upgrade step 1: Run site collection health checks

Stage 1 - run the site collection health checks

For a visual overview of the entire upgrade process, see Overview of the upgrade process from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013.

You run the health checks manually to prepare for an upgrade. In addition, the health checks are run automatically in repair mode when you start to upgrade a site collection. You can also run the health checks at any time to verify that a site is working as expected. The site collection pre-upgrade health checks examine a site collection and list potential upgrade issues, such as missing or unsupported elements. For example, the results itemize customized files so that you can identify the custom file and reset it to the default template in the site definition, if you want. After you run the checks, a report lists potential issues. The report also has information about how to address the issues.

The site collection health checker includes the following rules:

Site collection health check rules

Rule name Description Rule ID
Conflicting Content Types
This rule checks for conflicts between existing content types and content types that are created when you upgrade the site to SharePoint 2013. A conflict occurs when both content types have the same name.

Before you begin

This is the first step in upgrading a site collection. Before you upgrade a site collection, you must have already configured the environment that uses SharePoint 2013 and upgraded the databases. For more information about these steps, see Upgrade content databases from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013.

Run the site collection pre-upgrade health checks by using Site Settings

Site collection owners can run the site collection health checks from the Site Settings page in their site collections.

To run the pre-upgrade checks for a site collection

  1. Verify that the user account that performs this procedure is a site collection administrator.

  2. On the Site Settings page for the site collection, in the Site Collection Administration section, click Site collection health checks.

  3. On the Run site collection health checks page, click Start checks.

    A report lists all checked issues and issues that you should resolve.

  4. Resolve all issues, and then click Try it again to verify that you fixed them.

Run the site collection pre-upgrade health checks by using PowerShell

Farm administrators can use the following PowerShell cmdlets to run the site collection health checks and to repair issues: Test-SPSite and Repair-SPSite.

To run the site collection health checks in test mode by using PowerShell

  1. Verify that you have the following memberships:
  • securityadmin fixed server role on the SQL Server instance.

  • db_owner fixed database role on all databases that are to be updated.

  • Administrators group on the server on which you are running the PowerShell cmdlets.

  • Either a site collection administrator or be granted full read (for test mode) for the web application by policy. For more information about permission policies for web applications, see Manage permission policies for a web application in SharePoint Server.

    An administrator can use the Add-SPShellAdmin cmdlet to grant permissions to use SharePoint 2013 cmdlets.

    Note

    If you do not have permissions, contact your Setup administrator or SQL Server administrator to request permissions. For additional information about PowerShell permissions, see Add-SPShellAdmin.

  1. Start the SharePoint Management Shell.

  2. At the PowerShell command prompt, type the following command:

Test-SPSite -Identity  <RuleID>]

Where:

  • <RuleID> is ID for a specific rule that you want to run.

To run the site collection health checks in repair mode by using PowerShell

  1. Verify that you have the following memberships:
  • securityadmin fixed server role on the SQL Server instance.

  • db_owner fixed database role on all databases that are to be updated.

  • Administrators group on the server on which you are running the PowerShell cmdlets.

  • Either a site collection administrator or be granted full control (for repair mode) for the web application by policy. For more information about permission policies for web applications, see Manage permission policies for a web application in SharePoint Server.

    An administrator can use the Add-SPShellAdmin cmdlet to grant permissions to use SharePoint 2013 cmdlets.

    Note

    If you do not have permissions, contact your Setup administrator or SQL Server administrator to request permissions. For additional information about PowerShell permissions, see Add-SPShellAdmin.

  1. Start the SharePoint Management Shell.

  2. At the PowerShell command prompt, type the following command:

Repair-SPSite -Identity  <RuleID>]

Where:

  • <RuleID> is ID for a specific rule that you want to run.

Additional steps

If you are performing an upgrade to SharePoint 2013, you can start the site collection upgrade after you have addressed all issues from the health checks. You can create an upgrade evaluation site to try the new user interface for your site, or you can upgrade your site collection directly. To learn about how to create evaluation site collections or upgrade a site collection, see Upgrade a site collection to SharePoint 2013.
