Error : “Access is denied. Verify that either

Recently I noticed one issue in User profile page. The issue is the users "About me" and "Picture" which I updated in my profile is visible in Profile page but not in People search result. Obviously I understood that it is crawl issue and found the below issue in crawling.

Error : “Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to
this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository. If the repository being crawled is a
SharePoint repository, verify that the account you are using has "Full Read" permissions on the
SharePoint Web Application being crawled.”

Resolution : In Search Service application > Seach Administration > Check the 'Default content
access account'. In my case it is 'Domain\SP_XXXSearchUser'

Make sure this account has the '' permission in the 'User Profile Service' application.

Recently we encountered an issue in running the code (with "SPContext") in Timer job. After doing the learning, I understood the that the SPContext will not work in

1. Timer Job
2. Event Receier
3. Console and windows application running in the servers

Solution :

The solution is

using(SPSite oSite = new SPSite(this.WebApplication.Sites[0].Url))

{

using(SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())

{

}

}
