Error while trying to publish 2013 workflow via designer. Probably a workflow manager backend user account issue?

Hello, I am getting error while publishing the 2013 workflow via designer. Also, under sharepoint designer if I try to delete any workflow then the page just refreshes and the workflow does not get deleted.
I checked the services.msc and found that the workflow backend service was stopped. (this happened as the password of the user under which this serivce was running had changed).
So, the network admin changed the service user to LOCAL SYSTEM and started the service.
Now, the workflow backend service is started. We have run the iisreset also.
However, I am still getting the same error:-
System.IO.InvalidDataException: A response was returned that did not come from the Workflow Manager. Status code = 503:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Service Unavailable</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"></HEAD>
<BODY><h2>Service Unavailable</h2>
<hr><p>HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.</p>
</BODY></HTML>
Client ActivityId : ee94689c-4e08-b055-fe9c-268d7a94
Please find attached snapshot.
Is the error as a result of the change in service user? Can you tell me what priviledges should the account running the workflow backend service must have?
UPDATE 1:-
We have set the workflow service backend account user as farm admin and also tried to set it to site admin. The service is re-started. Now, for a new web application,
I can delete workflows. However, for existing site, I am not able to delete the existing workflows.. Also, I am not able to publish workflows (present under new and previous sites) and the error is same as described earlier.

Hi Nachiket,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error while publishing the 2013 workflow via SharePoint 2013 Designer.
As you have changed the password of this service. Please open IIS and make sure identify of the WorkflowMgmtPool is correct, you can re-type the identify. Then make this pool is started.
Open Services, find Service Bus Message Broker service and Windows Fabric Host Service. Make sure they are running. If not, firstly, start Windows Fabric Host Service, then start Service Bus Message Broker service. If Service Bus Message Broker service is
started, stop and re-start it.
Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

Error while trying to assign a role via CUP in Portal

Hello Experts,
I am trying to create a request to assign a role in EP via CUP ( 5.3)
EP Connector is working fine as I have imported Portal roles etc
SPML service is working fine
I have done the mapping in the Provisioning tab for Portal system
logonname in portal is email address of an employee
So the I have done the following mapping
AC Field Application field
email addres-Stndard logonname
And I have the following error while trying to create a request which I grabbed form the log
ERROR Exception during EJB call, Ignoring and trying Webservice Call

Any suggestions would be really appreciated

Kevin,
I was able to replicate your issue and there is a setting in the CUP that you have to disable, Goto the config tab in the CUP and select NO for the "Risk Analysis On Request Submission " under risk analysis.
Issue here is you did not create a connector for your EP in the RAR, I believe you have the above mentioned parameter to yes and so when you are submitting a request CUP is trying to do the risk analysis but RAR was not able to find any System, so it is thowing an error.
You can resolve this issue in two ways, one is to create a connector in RAR or the other is to disable the setting in the CUP.
Hope this helps.

Sharepoint 2013: Workflow Error , while trying to publish a Sharepoint 2013 Workflow, from the Sharepoint Designer 2013

I don't know what might be wrong but I have tried everything possible I suppose.
Configuration: 1 App Server SharePoint Standard 2013 + SQL Server. On App Server, I have installed Workflow Manager as well.
Installed Sharepoint Designer 2013 on my laptop.
Before I was able to publish the workflows, but now it refuses, thwroing me the following error:
System.InvalidOperationException: Operation failed with error Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowCommunicationException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId : ac85cf9c-053a-e0db-1f47-608050559d31. ---> System.Net.WebException:
The request was aborted: The request was canceled. ---> System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: There was an error reading from the pipe: The pipe has been ended. (109, 0x6d). ---> System.IO.PipeException: There was an error reading from
What I have tried so far:
a. Re-installed Workflow, Service Bus, Windows Fabric, Sharepoint Designer... no luck
b. Run the configuration script... -Force enabled... no luck
c. Remove WF Manager, SB, etc... Deleted all WF and sb Databases from SQL, and re-installed all icluding updates... no luck
d. Tried to run services using Farm account, still no luck.
e. All services on the Server are running as well
f. The workflow is checked that it is associated with the site collection.
I don't know what else to try... seems like I am experiencing unique issue here... please help!

One last thing I can suggest - In case if you have installed CU Update for WF manager 1.0 and service bus. Some time that creates problem, [Please take backup before make any changes] -
- Clear everything, WF config , SharePoint WF setting, un register WF from SP , You can delete and recreate WF service Apps
- IISreset at WF and SP server
- Uninstall CU update for Workflow manager 1.0 and Service Bus from WF server [Control Panel - Programs - Update], you can delete all update installed
- ReStart WF server
- Reconfigure WF manager , Test WF sites , should return XML
Get-WFFarm | ft HttpPort
- Reconfigure WF at SP , Make sure should have enough free memory
Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite "http://SPsite/" –WorkflowHostUri "http://WFServer:12291" –AllowOAuthHttp
http or https , depend on your configuration
And retest from SPD again.
Good luck:)

Error while trying to publish

So I've been trying to publish my website and I keep receiving this error. I've tried deactivating my muse and signing back into muse incase it was a problem with my sign in information but I still continue to receive this "Unknown Adobe Business Catalyst error". I've attached a photo. Thanks in advance for any help with the issue.

This error usually occurs when Muse is not able to sign in to the Business catalyst account. Most common reasons are -
1. There is an outage on the Bc servers, you can always double check that here, http://status.businesscatalyst.com/
2. There is a system/network firewall blocking the connection. Please check with your IT if you are in a corporate environment or check the firewall or anti-virus settings.
If you still face this issue there could be something more specific about it, so in that case I will recommend that you contact the support using this link, http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/

Error while trying to publish a site...

Hello,
I'm quite new to Muse and I wanted to try to publish my site, (which is at its very beginning) but I got an error message.
It says "Error: Error uploading file +.png. Click resume to try again. If this problem persists, try again later".
I know I did make the mistake of creating a file named "+", it was just for a test and I immediately deleted it, so I don't understand why it's asking for it while publishing. In doubt I checked the assets and did not find the file in the list. I renamed the file in my folder as "plus.png" and I made a search on my entire computer to make sure I hadn't forgotten one somewhere. I quitted Muse and relaunched it but the problem remains. Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance

Sorry to have bothered. I found where the problem was. In fact, in one of my pages I had an animation made with Edge Animate and in the Images panel was the "+.png" that was causing the problem. I don't know why it's still there but it is. The animation I made has nothing to do with the plus image and that image is not used in the animation... well... I changed the name to plus.png and the problem was solved.

Error while trying to load Crystal report via Windows service

Hi,
I am trying to generate PDF file using crystal reports. I have developed a console application which works absolutely fine, however when I converted the code to work as windows service (wcf hosted in Windows service), this below error I see from stack trace:
Load report failed.
at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.EnsureDocumentIsOpened()
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename, OpenReportMethod openMethod, Int16 parentJob)
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename)
at AtDataWindowsService.GetData.generatePDF(DataTable dt)
The code used is:
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType exportFormat;
ReportDocument reportObj = new ReportDocument();
exportFormat = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
//Load the Crystal Report
reportObj.Load("CrystalReport.rpt");
reportObj.SetDataSource(dt);
What might be going wrong here?

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Based on your description, I am afraid that the issue is out of support of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
I suggest that you can consult your issue directly on SAP Crystal Reports:

Getting error while trying to delete columns from form designer

I Am trying to make last name a mandatory field.
AD was not getting provisioned for users that i created.The system validation task was not getting completed.WHen i tried to save the process form it was showing that last name was a mandatory field.So i figured it out that my process form was not getting populated.
i was trying to delete last name from the form version.But it was throwing an error code= DOBJ.SDC_CANNOT_DELETE_SRE_ENTRIES_EXIST
So i am trying to create a new version of a form and delete some columns.But when im doing it it shows the following error :
ERROR,15 Dec 2008 18:03:20,073,[XELLERATE.SERVER],Class/Method: tcSDC/hasPrePopulatedEntries Error :Sdk cannot drop, SRE entries Exist.
Could you help as to how i can resolve this.

You cannot delete a column, but you can hide it ;)
In your case, you may follow these steps:
1) Create a new form version.
2) Go to the "Properties" tab in the form editor.
3) Delete the "Required=true" property for the "Last Name" field.
4) Add a new property to the "Last Name" field: select "Visbile Field" in the "Property Name" combo-box, and add "false" to the "Property Value". Save.
5) Activate your version.
Think again about hidding the "Last Name", because I think it's a mandatory value for AD user creation (i.e., AD won't let you create users if they don't have Last Name set). However, I'm not sure.
Hope this help!

DBD: Error while trying to load the transport provider for odbc. Failed to load the library. System error: The specified module could not be found.

Hello Everyone,
We are getting an error while trying to create an Universe via Microsoft -> MS Analysis Services 2014 -> OLEDB for OLAP Provider under Connection in UDT -"DBD: Error while trying to load the transport provider for odbc. Failed to load the library. System error: The specified module could not be found." We have installed BI 4.1 SP05 in our system. As per earlier posts in scn in BO XI 3.x this issue used to be for improper installation of Integration KIT but in our scenarion Integration KIT is within the BO 4.1 package so no seperate installation is required. Moreover I have checked whether all the driver is present under file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\dataAccess\connectionServer\drivers" and seems everything is fine. But still I am getting this error. One important point is we could use IDT because in IDT still we don't have option to connect with 'Microsoft Analysis Services - 2014 (XMLA)' as we are using Microsoft Analysis Services 2014 version.
Kindly help if anyone has faced the same problem with SAP BO 4.1.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Ghosal

Hello Everybody,
The problem is solved now after installing "OLEDB drivers from SQL Server 2012 Feature Pack". We had OLEDB drivers that comes directly from SQL Server but that did not worked out in our case.
Thanks for your support.

Get error when trying to publish crystal report to infoview

Hi, Gurus,
I got an error while trying to publish a Crystal report.
The error message says: Fail to read data from report file C:\TEMP~crw{70BDE794-E283-4773-A259-BA810F3E1697}.rpt. Failed to read parameter object.
I'm using a dynamic cascading parameter. The report runs fine in development enviornment.
I'm using Crystal 2008 SP2 and XI3.1
Thank you.
Kiki

There are several SAP NOTES (KB articles) on this error, have you tried searching Knowledge base ?
Most likely it's due to the fact that you have a verson mismatch between CR 2008 and XI3.1.

Hi Baez,
You have to create a record with country record id in BankDetails table or get record id if country record id is already existed in BankDetails table and use this record id to create qualified link .
1. get Country record id
2. search in Bankdetails table with Country Record id,
3 . if exist in Bank details table, get record id in Bank details table and pass it to createQualifiedLink()method
or
3. if Country record does not exist in BankDetails table, then create new record in bankdetails table with Country record id, pass record id of new record to createQualifiedLink()method
I hope this helps you......
