Description

This post describes how to configure the SharePoint Server 2013 State Service Application using PowerShell.

Solution


1)  Document the Naming Convention
.
Document a naming convention for each of the State Service Application components.
Example:
Application Pool Service Account:  Domain\SvcAccount (this should already be created)
Application Pool: SvcApp_SPServiceApplicationPool_02 (this should already be created)
Service Application:  SvcApp_SPStateServiceApplication_01
Service Application Database:  SvcApp_SPStateServiceApplication_01_DB_01
Service Application Proxy:  SvcApp_SPStateServiceApplication_01_Proxy_01
2)  Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell as Administrator.

3)  Verify the Name of the Application Pool.
Get-SPServiceApplicationPool | Select Name

4)  Set the Service Application Pool in a variable.

$SvcAppPool02 = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool "SvcApp_SPServiceApplicationPool_02"

5)  Create the Service Application and assign it to the Application Pool.
 
New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name SvcApp_SPStateServiceApplication_01_DB_01 | New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name SvcApp_SPStateServiceApplication_01 | New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name SvcApp_SPStateServiceApplication_01_Proxy_01 | -DefaultProxyGroup
6) Verify State Service Application.
Get-SPStateServiceApplication | Select Name

7)  Verify State Service Database.
Get-SPStateServiceDatabase | Select Name

9) Verify State Service Application Proxy.

I noticed after executing the command, the Service Application proxy was not in the service application associations. ca -> manage web apps -> selected webapp -> Service Connections button in ribbon.

Reviewed POSH and determined there was what appeared to be a pipe on the line before the para-meter -defaultgroup

Removed applicationproxy, removed service application, removed database

Re-executed and voila, me happy it worked.
