Error while opening list workflow in SharePoint designer 2010

Hi,

Please help me how will be able to edit the workflow.
While i click on "export to visio",its showing the error as "SharePoint designer encountered an error generating the visi workflow drawing".
Please help me to get the logic of the workflow,so that i can create new one.
Thank you

Hi Aditi,
Which type of workflow did you use?
Did you create the workflow using SharePoint 2010 Designer or built-in workflow template?
If the workflow was created using SharePoint 2010 Designer, for editing the workflow using SharePoint Designer, open the site with SharePoint 2010 Designer, then click the 'Workflows' in left panel. Then in the right panel, click the workflow that you
want to edit, then click 'edit workflow' under Customization.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

  • Error while saving a workflow via sharepoint designer: Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.

    While saving a workflow using SharePoint designer on a SharePoint site, I get the following error: 
    Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
    Steps to recreate error:
    Login to the WFE server hosting IIS and workflow manager, open SharePoint Designer 2013 and login to a SharePoint site.
    Access the list using SharePoint Designer 2013, in the workflow section, click new workflow. 
    In the new workflow dialog, enter workflow details, click save (see screenshot below).
    Error message is displayed as below:
    After restarting SharePoint Designer, the saved workflow is not seen in the site/workflows or list/workflow section.
    Workaround
    When the above steps are repeated while accessing the site via SPD from any other box besides the WFE/Workflow manager host server, the error is not encountered and its possible to save/publish workflows.
    Notes
    Workflow Manager 1.0 is installed.
    The site has been registered with Workflow manager using Register-SPWorkflowService
    cmdlet.
    Any clue on why is this happening?

    Hi Vivek,
    Please close your SharePoint Designer application, clear/delete the cached files and folders under the following directories from your server installed SharePoint Designer, then check results again.

  • Error while saving a workflow via sharepoint designer Office 365: Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities

    Hi,
    I get the above error whenever I try to save a new WorkFlow. I have cleared the caches
    <user profile>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
    <user profile>\appdata\local\microsoft\websitecache\<sitename>, and
    I still get the same issue.
    We are using SharePoint Designer 2013 (15.0.4569.1503) and connecting to SharePoint 2013 on Office 365.
    Can you please provide more insight?
    Thanks.

    Hi Rake,
    You can compare your PC and another machine which is working, see if it is related to IE settings(e.g. SharePoint urls in trusted sites zone).
    And you can try re-install the SharePoint Designer 2013 with same version and bit-version(32/64) on your PC like another machine, then check again.

    Hi Amit Bansal,
    Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
    This forum is for developers discussing developing issues involve Excel application.
    According to the description, you got an error when you open the document form SharePoint site.
    Based on my understanding, this issue maybe relative to the SharePoint, I would like move it to
    SharePoint 2013 - General Discussions and Questions forum.
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
    Thanks for your understanding.

    Hi Sunita,
    Firstly, I recommend to debug your workflow in Visual Studio to see if there is anything incorrect in the code about Activating the feature.
    Then I recommend to deploy the project as wsp solutions and then deploy it to SharePoint. After that use Install-SPFeature command to install the feature, then activate the feature to how it works.
    Here are some similar threads for you to take a look:

  • Errors were found when compiling workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010

    Hello there,
    I've run into a interesting issue in SharePoint Designer 2010 when publishing a workflow. I now get the below error
    Normally when I get this message I simply clear the SharePoint Designer 2010 cache described in this
    article, however, in this case the issue still continued. Hence I started the process of trial and error and quickly realized that the Update Item action was the culprit. In this action I am updating approximately 70 columns. Currently, I have two such
    actions running in sequence. When I added the third Update Item action to do the same, I started getting this error.
    Has anyone else experienced this before? In the workflow I am currently working on I am going to have to using the Update Item action several times and update approximately 70 columns hence I am open to other ideas to do the same.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Entan Ming,
    Thanks for your reply, Hope you are aware that while we create any new workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013. There are two ways (We can say Platforms) to create the new workflow 1. SharePoint
    2010 and 2. SharePoint 2013.
    If I choose second one I. e SharePoint 2013, and try to create, save and publish workflow it`s working fine. But whenever I select option no. 1  i.e. SharePoint 2010  Platform to create
    the workflow, I am able to Create it , save it , but while I try to publish it I got an error:
    Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.
    When I click on Advance I got message:
    Unexpected error on server associating the workflow
    My question is that, I am not able to publish any workflow in SharePoint 2010 Platform, using SharePoint Designer 2013.  
    Before publishing a workflow, I click on ‘Check for errors’ button, there was no any error found.
    Thanks & Regards Mr. Bajirao Shinde

  • Power view error while opening excel fine in SharePoint 2010

    I am getting an error while opening an excel file:
    "The following features
    are not supported in the browser and might not display or might display only partially: 
    • Comments, Shapes, or other
    objects 
    Some features, such as external
    data queries, display cached data which can only be refreshed in the client version of Excel."
    Is this issue browser
    related or SharePoint related?

    Hiya,
    it depends what that file contains. There are a lot of new features for Excel, Excel services in the newer versions of SharePoint and SQL server. So it really depends on which of these features your using in your excel file.
    What version is your SharePoint and SQL server(database services) and SQL Reporting?
    There is a pretty specific article for that error message relating to PowerPivot.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487973.aspx

  • SharePoint 2013 error while opening listing page

    Dear All,
    I have upgraded my SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.
    Currently I m facing problem whenever I click on any list pages (eg. Press Release) on Sharepoint 2010 and 2013 application.
    Attaching the error message. Please help.

    Is there any custom code used in the master page or other pages?
    I'd suggest you open the PR_listing.aspx page in SharePoint designer and then do a search for "ServerContext" and if you get a match, then you or a developer will need to update the code to use the SPServiceContext approach instead.
    If you don't get a match on ServerContext then you'll need to look at what custom controls are being used - and if I were you I'd comment each one out until the page loads.

    An unexpected error has occurred.

    Thanks,

    This could be any one of a number of things.  You need to lookup the Correlation ID in the ULS logs on the SharePoint server.  That should provide the additional information necessary to diagnose and solve the problem.  Here's a blog post
    on how to find the error.

  • Issue with opening a site in SharePoint Designer 2010 -The version of SharePoint foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SPD you are using, you need a more recent version of SPD.

    I have a SharePoint site which I am trying to open in SPD 2010, I am getting the following error(some of my team members are able to open)
    The version of SharePoint foundation running on the server is more recent than the version  of SPD you are using, you need a more recent version of SPD.
    These are the ways I tried
    1) Earlier I have MS office 32 bit and SPD 32 bit, I uninstalled them and installed both 64 bit versions
    2) I uninstalled restarted my machine and installed it again still no use.
    3) I installed SPD 2010 Service Pack 2 of 64 bit
    4) I uninstalled the SPD 2010 and opened the site—site actions—edit page in SPD , then it asked me to install SPD 2010, then I installed and tried to open the same site, again same error.
    How to solve this issue?
    I checked permissions also at that site level – I have full control like others. I don’t have access to Central Admin so where else I can check the permission settings?

    Please update us SharePoint version

  • Cross Domain Trust Error, while opening the infopath in sharepoint list.

    Dear All,
    Facing some issue in
    Environement:
    Windows = Windows Server 2008
    Shareppoint = Sharepoint Server 2013.
    Project Server = Project Server 2013
    Info Path = Info Path Designer 2013
    Detailed:
    I have sharepoint environment with Project Server,I which have created task list in my project site and then i customize that form using info path their is one column named: "Product Name" in my task list which is drop down menu in that menu
    i want to show all the project name which are created in PWA Site. For that i made the External data connection to my sql server and select my desired table from that and also configured the my column data "i:e; Product Name. And published it to the my
    site. Now when i opened that form it prompts the error
    "The form cannot be submitted because this action would violate cross-domain restrictions. 
    If this form template is published to a SharePoint document library, cross-domain access for user form templates must be enabled
    under InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Central Administration, and the data connection settings must be stored in a UDC file in a data connection library in the same site collection. 
    If this is an administrator-approved form template, the security level of the form must be set to full trust, or the data connection
    settings must be stored in a UDC file by using the Manage data connection files option under InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Central Administration ."
    Oopsss !!
    Now start googling it found couple of solution shared listed below:
    1. Enable the cross domain authenticated in Central Admin –> General Application Settings –> Configure InfoPath Form Services (Done)
    2. Now Created the data connection library in my site collection which is PWA Site after that i went to the infopath and creating the data connection and
    Convert to Connection File and enter the URL of the data connection library
    and its prompt the error " the specified url is not a data connection library and enter the correct filename" didnt remember the exact error description at the moment.
