InfoPath Forms Services forms cannot be filled out in a Web browser because no State Service connection is configured

April 7th, 2011

Detail:  InfoPath Forms Services is not functional on the following Web applications because there is no service connection configured for the State Service.

Solution:  A State Service Application has to be created and associated with the active web applications.  This will be done via PowerShell as follows:

  1. Create a new state service application:
    1. New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name “Shared State Service Application”
  2. Create a new state service application database:
    1. New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name “SP_Shared_StateService” -ServiceApplication “Shared State Service Application”
  3. Create a new state service application proxy and add it to default application proxy group:
    1. New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name “Shared State Service Application” -ServiceApplication “Shared State Service Application” –DefaultProxyGroup
    2. Note: Do not add the -DefaultProxyGroup parameter if you do not want the application proxy added to the default proxy group.
