Newsfeed Error - A Required SharePoint Feature is not enabled , SharePoint 2013, FBA site.

There was a recent issue when a User clicks on the newsfeed there is nothing there, when they switch from following to everyone they following error is displayed

"SharePoint returned the following error: A required SharePoint feature is not enabled. Internal type name: Microsoft.Office.Server.Microfeed.MicrofeedException. Internal error code: 46. Contact your system administrator for help in resolving this problem."

When I go to "about me" it still states "We're almost ready" underneath my Bio, and if I goto tasks "something went wrong" when it tries to load the page

The errors I still see are as follows

in the Application Log:

This appears intermitantly

"The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob (ID 8e2b6939-813f-4798-b473-37b891a4ad2d) threw an exception. More information is included below.

Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.IsRepopulationNeeded: Connection to the server terminated,check if the cache host(s) is running ."

 

Resolution:

Issue happens for the user whose value personal site capabilities shows “0” and in order to have feeds and other featured working we need the value as “14”

To fix the issue we need to follow either of  below action plan.

1) This can be done - user profile service application - mange user profiles -> search for the user -> look for personal site capabilities and update the value to 14 and save it.

or

2) I have a PowerShell which can help us to update affected users values form 0 to 14.

#Set up default variables

#My Site URL

$mySiteUrl = "https://spf1/my/"

#The part of the picture URL you are trying to find

$currentValue = "0"

#The value that will replace the above

$newValue = "14"

#The internal name for Property

$upAttribute = "SPS-PersonalSiteCapabilities"

#Get site objects and connect to User Profile Manager service

$site = Get-SPSite $mySiteUrl

$context = Get-SPServiceContext $site

$profileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($context)

$profiles = $profileManager.GetEnumerator()

foreach ($userProfile in $profiles)

{

if ($userProfile[$upAttribute].toString() -ne 14 )

{

if ($userProfile.AccountName -like "i:0#.f|ldapmember|achavda")

          {

                         $newvalue = $userProfile[$upAttribute].toString()

             $newvalue = $newvalue.Replace($currentURLValue, $newURLValue)

              $userProfile[$upAttribute].Value = $newvalue

             $userProfile.Commit()

            }

}

}

  Hi Diogo, Did you confirmed the value before making changes, was it zero or some other value, I would suggest to delete the affected profile and click on newsfeeds again. Do let me know how it goes.. Regards, Vinit

  Hi, We were having the same issue, with the same error 46, We did what you suggest but it keeps throwing the same error, unfortunately I'm affraid your solution doesn't apply for every error 46. Regards, Diogo Moura

  When you create your Web application if you use the FQDN instead of the server name in the public URL it will cause this as well.

  Have those of you having this problem checked to make sure Feed service provider defined identifier is populated? I'm guessing that is missing as well
