Create a new ‘State Service’ Service Application using Powershell

I encountered this issue and had some trouble finding the correct info on it, so I thought that I’s share a good guide with all of you.

If you have made the correct choice to not run the configuration wizard to install all of the Service Applications…then you may encounter that you are missing the State Service Application. It can also be from deleting it after it was created by the wizard…
This Service Application is not available for creation in the New dialog in Central Administration, Manage Service Application, so it requires some special treatment.

An example of how it can look when this service Application is missing can look like this (in Health analyzer):

Title : InfoPath Forms Services forms cannot be filled out in a Web browser because no State Service connection is configured.
Severity : 2 – Warning
Category : Configuration
Explanation : InfoPath Forms Services is not functional on the following Web applications because there is no service connection configured for the State Service: SharePoint – 80
Remedy : If a State Service application doesn’t exist, create one by using the new-SPStateServiceApplication Powershell commandlet. For more information on configuring the State Service, see Help. For more information about this rule, see “http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142645“.
Failing Servers: XXXXXXXX
Failing Services: SPTimerService (SPTimerV4)

The obvious command new-SPStateServiceApplication  gives you this:

PS C:MediaConfigScript> New-SPStateServiceApplication  -Name “State Service Application” -Database “SharePoint_Service _State” New-SPStateServiceApplication : The pipeline has been stopped. At line:1 char:30 + New-SPStateServiceApplication <<<<   -Name “State Service Application” -Database “SharePoint_Service_State”     + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Offic…plicationCmdlet:NewStateServiceApplicationCmdlet) [New-S    PStateServiceApplication], PipelineStoppedException     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.NewStateServiceApplicationCmdlet

New-SPStateServiceApplication : The specified object was not found. Parameter name: Database At line:1 char:30 + New-SPStateServiceApplication <<<<   -Name “State Service Application” -Database “SharePoint_Service_State”     + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (Microsoft.Offic…plicationCmdlet:NewStateServiceApplicationCmdlet) [N    ew-SPStateServiceApplication], ArgumentException     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.NewStateServiceApplicationCmdlet

Do not let this put you down, the correct way to create a new State Service Application is a bit different, no thanks to the get-help command…the syntaxt to use is as follows:

1. $serviceApp = New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name “State Service Application”
2. New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name “SharePoint_Service_State” -ServiceApplication $serviceApp
3. New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name “State Service Application Proxy” -ServiceApplication $serviceApp -DefaultProxyGroup

Thats it!
