Below is the solution.
Solution:.
check
list in workflow manager server  :
1. Check https://[wfms]:12290 or http://[wfms]:12291 if they are responding 2. Check
”WorkflowMgmtPool” is started 3. Following services are running
Workflow Manager Backend
Service Bus Message Broker
Service Bus Gateway
Windows Fabric Host Service (FabricHostSvc)
4. Get workflow farm information , workflow database  by  Start Workflow
Manager PowerShell     get-WFfarm   5. Check if the Workflow Manager farm running(workflow service backend and  front end         should be rennin)  by  Start Workflow Manager
PowerShell    get-WFfarmStatus
6. Check oAut in accessible by http:// [wfms]:12291/$SYSTEM/$Metadata/json/1
7. Restart the WorkflowServiceBackend service
net stop WorkflowServiceBackend
net start WorkflowServiceBackend

  • 2013 Workflows created in SharePoint Designer doesn't seems to work with retension policy!

    Hi Guys, 2013 Workflows created in SharePoint Designer doesn't seems to work with retension policy but 2010 workflows work. Any One have any details resaon or workarround?

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, I can reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint 2013.
    For the Retention Policy, it will schedule how content is managed and disposed by specifying a sequence of retention stages. In SharePoint Designer Workflow 2013, we have looping option available. You can
    use loop option and then pause for duration for achieving same function as Retention Policy to start a workflow.

    Hi, 
    I'm assuming you made your site as internet site (public facing).
    In that case you might site desired output. If not you can think of replacing text
    i.e SP2013 = hello.com

    using sharepoint designer 2013 - connected to sharepoint online - but getting " data source file cannot be saved" after making a new linked datasource

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I have done a test and I can’t reproduce your issue.
    I have used SharePoint Designer 2013 to open a SharePoint Online site and there are no issues.
    I’d like to clarify whether you encounter any issues when accessing SharePoint Online sites. If there are no issues during the accessing procedure, SharePoint Online service should be working fine at your side. The issue may be caused by specific SharePoint
    Designer client or network. I suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
    1. Use SharePoint Designer to open another site and check whether it is successful.
    2. When you are prompted to enter Office 365 account and password, try other users’ accounts and select the remembering the credential.
    3. Perform the connection procedure under another environment and verify whether the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, can you provide related screenshots for further troubleshooting?

  • Issue with inserting edit item form using sharepoint designer 2013

    Hi,
    I inserted an edit form of a custom list in a site page using sharepoint designer-2013. But it is giving error "no item exists". 
    I am using default ListItemId Parameter with ID query string and I passed the query string parameter to that page. But still the result is same. But if I give any default value, page is displaying fine for that specific item although I dont pass any querystring
    to the page URL.
    Can you please guide me?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    From your description, I know you get issue when you add “edit form” of custom list to a page.
    I tried to reproduce your issue, and if I added “edit form” to page without “Advanced Mode”.
    I add “edit form” to page with steps below:
    Right click the page, click “Edit File in Advanced Mode”.
    Find source with keywords [ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain"].
    Choose INSERT tab in the Ribbon.
    Click “Edit Item Form”, and choose the custom list that you want to add.
    Save file, and go to the page.
    The screenshot below is my result:

  • Cannot see the Previous Versions using SharePoint Designer 2013 - Versions cannot be accessed at this time.

    I was trying to view the Version History of a page from the SharePoint Designer 2013, I got the following error. "Versions cannot be accessed at this time, because the server is busy. Please try again later.
    Whereas I can able to access the version history through browser, the issue only occurs in SharePoint Designer.
    Thanks
    Ramkumar

    Hi Ramkumar,
    I understand that when you use SharePoint designer 2013 to check previous version of a page, it will pop up the error window. This is a known issue and here are two feasible workaround:
    1.Use SharePoint designer 2010 to connect SharePoint 2013 site.
    2.In SharePoint Designer 2013, use the Versions pane in the Page Summary view to access detailed version information of a file. You can access the Page Summary view by:
    a.  (Left) Clicking on a filename in the Site Pages list.
    b. Select a file Site Pages list by clicking anywhere in the row (except the filename) and then clicking on “Page Settings” in the Site Pages.
    c. Restore the required version.
    Thanks for the understanding and support.

    Hi Rangnath,
    For running SharePoint Designer 2013, you need to install Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework or higher.
    Please uninstall the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework, and install it again. After that, reboot your machine.

  • Workflow to send email notification to the assigned person using Sharepoint Designer 2013

    Hi,
    The requirement is whenever the assigned to Field is changed to someone, the assigned to person should get an email notification saying that the item has been assigned to you.
    I created a sharepoint designer List Workflow to send an email notification, below are the steps,
    1. Log workflow to the workflow history
    2. then Wait for Assigned to be not empty
    3. then Email currentItem:AssignedTo
    4.then stop the workflow
    But the thing is whenever any field is changed in the particular item this email triggers, I want to send email only when Assigned to Field is changed and not any other field. how do i write the condition to check only if the assigned to field is changed
    or not and and how i trigger the email.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thank you
    Smile Always

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to send email via workflow while the assigned to field value changed.
    We can create a helper field
    which will store the previous value of the Assigned To, then you can compare the current value with previous value of assigned to and send an email accordingly.
    I have made a simple workflow demo below, you can refer to it.
    I have created a new single line of text type field AssignedPerson in the list, then use the workflow below to achieve your scenario.

  • Item level permission on workflow task List using sharepoint designer 2013

    Hello All,
    I have created a custom approval workflow. Workflow create a Task in Tasks List.  Now suppose A task is assign to user1. 
    User2 should not able to edit\approve\reject the item.
    How to give item level permission using SharePoint designer in SharePoint 2013 workflow.
    SharePoint 2013 workflow doesn't have impersonation steps also.
    Please suggest how to give permission on task list based on assigned To field.

    In order to change permissions on a list item you'd need a sharepoint 2010 workflow according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj728659.aspx
    Unfortunately this functionality is not available in SharePoint 2013 workflows :-(
    The impersonation step still exists, but it is now called "App Step" in the SharePoint Designer 2013 Ribbon. This step is disabled, though, until you activate a web site feature called "Workflows can use app permissions"

  • SharePoint Designer 2013 does not load working workflows in design view

    Hello,
    I would like to share with you a strange thing that happens to me with Sharepoint Designer 2013.
    I designed two list workflows with SPD 2013 for a Sharepoint Online platform.
    Both workflows works in the engine as designed, but sometimes happens that in SPD they just don't open in the designer view, even if they do not give errors in the execution view
    The error message is that Sharepoint Designer has encountered an error and needs to be restarted. (Obviously restarting does not solve).
    Sometimes happens also that the workflows opens but blank, with no steps.
    Since this is an online platform, I can't consult logs.
    I am thinking to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I would like also to ask to the community if someone encountered this and can suggest a way to troubleshoot what happened and why.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow cannot be opened in SharePoint Designer and sometimes it opened with no steps.
    Did this issue occur with other workflows and did it occur often with the same workflow?
    I recommend to uninstall SharePoint Designer, delete all the files in the three locations below:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
    After that reboot the client and re-install SharePoint Designer 2013 with the latest updates packaged to see if the issue still occurs.
    If the issue still occurs with the same workflow, it may be caused by a known issue or by manual manipulation of the XAML in
    SharePoint Designer 2013 that can
    corrupt the workflow, then we need to recreate the workflow.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2010 Workflows created in Sharepoint Designer

    Using Sharepoint Designer 2010 (64 bit) on Sharepoint Foundation 2010 (free version)
    I'm trying to get some basic workflows I've designed against a list in SPD working. They effectively just email a user the list item is assigned to based on some simple conditional checks.
    I've deployed the workflow and its set to activate on item creation and item update.
    Now I have checked the following already:
    - App pool for SP site is running under its own service account (not System)
    - I am the primary site collection administrator. 
    I'm getting this error in the log file: Unexpected
    AutoStart Workflow: System.ArgumentException: The requested workflow task content type was not found on the SPWeb. 
    On further research it was suggested I didn't have OffWFCommon as a feature but this isn't part of Sharepoint Foundation 2010 so I'm pretty confused. The directory doesn't exist to install this feature.
    Can Sharepoint Foundation 2010 actually use workflows created in SPD?
    Any solutions or anything I've missed?

    Hello,
    Approval WF template is not supported in foundation so use collect data from user WF in designer.

  • How do I apply conditional formatting using SharePoint Designer 2013?

    I'm attempting to apply Conditional Formatting to a list view web part via SharePoint Designer 2013, and I can't seem to find the option to do so.
    I've a horrible feeling I'm just being daft, but here's what I've done so far:
    - Created a new page (I've tried both web part and wiki)
    - Added a list "App part" and saved the page
    - Checked-out and opened the page via Designer
    - Clicked the "Edit file" option
    - Selected the XsltListViewWebPart tag
    So far I can't find any options to add it. If I open the Conditional Formatting pane via the View menu it tells me the following:
    > To use conditional formatting, select an HTML tag, data value, or
    > range of text, and then click Create to specify formatting options.
    I've tried selecting the web part tags in all manner of combinations with no luck. In previous version I would have simply selected the previewed data rows in the now-absent Preview pane.
    Am I missing something?

    Create and edit a Wiki Page
    Click Inset > Data View and Select “Empty Data View”
    Click Inside the <DataSources> tags </DataSources>
    Click Insert > Data Source “Your Data Source Name”
    Hold down Ctrl button and select the Rows in the order you want them to appear from your “Data Source Details” Window.
    After the Rows are selected click on the drop down “Insert Selected Fields as…” at the top of the “Data Source Details” Window. 
    Select “Multiple Item View” option (This will create the xsl where we need to add the conditional formatting to)
    Find the <tr> tag that contains the Row Data.  Insert the following right below the <tr> tag:
    <xsl:attribute name="style">
    <xsl:if test="@FieldName = 'Something'">background-color: #FF0000;</xsl:if>
    </xsl:attribute>
    I hope this helps.  I figured this out by using the old 2010 Designer to figure out the where to place the code and how to do this.
