Workflow Manager SharePoint 2013 - HTTP forbidden, 403 SSL is Required

Hello,
I have installed Workflow Manager and configured it to allow http and https communication, following the video instructions
: Install and configure Workflow in SharePoint Server 2013
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn201724(v=office.15).aspx
I implemented a simple workflow in a new 2013 team site using SharePoint Designer 2013 (following episode 6) and
everything worked.
I then tried an identical list workflow in my root site collection (which was upgraded from 2010) and get:
Status Started: Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled in less than one minute. Details of last request:
HTTP Forbidden to

Status Suspended: Followed by the message:

The process for creating and running these workflows was the same. Can anyone help?

Hi Marcel,
Try executing the following command below and make sure that the workflows properly registered:
$credential = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials
$site = Get-SPSite(<siteUri>)
$proxy = Get-SPWorkflowServiceApplicationProxy
$svcAddress = $proxy.GetWorkflowServiceAddress($site)
Copy-SPActivitiesToWorkflowService -WorkflowServiceAddress $svcAddress -Credential $credential -Force $true

Error when running workflow form list item - workflow manager SharePoint 2013

I am getting the following error in the workflow services log when I tried to run a SPD 2013 workflow from as list item. The workflow page comes up with an "An unexpected error has occurred"
page when opened:
Error processing management request. Method: GET, RequestUri: http://servername:12291/$Workflows/$Instances?$skip=0&$top=100&monitoringParameter=1f51aa43-2f1c-4fc5-a86d-f638ca57c00d, Error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): The procedure "GetInstances" has no parameter named "@OtherWorkflowStatus".

Can't find anything on google.
Edit: Ok, when I look at the error, it is saying the the "GetInstances" stored procedure in the WFInstanceManagementDB database does not have a parameter named "@OtherWorkflowStatus".
For laughs, I added the parameter (which wasn't in there). Now I get the error:
Procedure or function 'GetInstances' expects parameter '@OtherWorkflowStatus', which was not supplied
It seems like there is something not right about my installation. Previously, I couldn't get the workflow backend service to run because there were config values missing from the workflow manager database. At the time I tried to uninstall/reinstall
WFM to no avail. I eventually had to manually add the values to get it to work. Something is not right about the WFM install/config process.

Here is what I had to do to get it working:
Leave the WFM (Workflow Manager) farm using the WFM config tool
Uninstall WFM, Service Bus, and the CU's from control panel
Uninstall Workflow Manager Client if it exists in the control panel, it didn't in mine
Delete the following databases in SQL Server:
SbGatewayDatabase
SbManagementDB
SBMessageContainer01
WFInstanceManagementDB
WFManagementDB
WFResourceManagementDB
Delete the workflow proxy service in Central Admin (important)
Application Management > Manage Service Applications
Highlight (select) the Workflow Service Application Proxy service (don’t click the hyperlink)
Select “Delete” from the ribbon.
Restart the server
Reinstall
Enable the workflow proxy service in CA for the web app, the 2013 workflow option will not show up in SPD unless you do this.
Application Management > Manage Web Applications
Select your web app
Select “Service Connections” from the ribbon
Check the Workflow Service Application Proxy item and click “OK”

Workflow manager IIS site throws a 403 Forbidden error and published workflows throw an error 400 bad request

Hello All , Request your help on the below issue ,
We have a single server farm SP 2013 where workflow was working as expected but its broken now , Not sure
what caused this. Workflow manager is installed alongside Service Bus. Workflow Manager client is installed on the same SP server.
We are able to create and publish the workflows from SP Designer without errors but when we start the workflow from SharePoint list we get an error " Sorry something went wrong". We have tried creating new workflows but the same problem.
We receive the below error in event viewer.

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue when you published a workflow on SharePoint 2013 workflow platform.
I wonder does it work well before when using 2013 workflow platform? If it works before, did you install any updates or change the configuration to the workflow related settings?
If this is the first time after you installed workflow manager 2013, then I’d recommend you try re-registering workflow service per the link below and post the result:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658588(v=office.15).aspx
From the message you accessed workflow host uri, please make sure the account to wfsetup and wfservice account are both in wfadmins group.

Any way i can create and manage SharePoint 2013 workflows in browser.

Guys,
is there any way i can created and manager sharepoint 2013 workflows in browser like Nintex lets you do. This will eliminate the need for sharepoint designer.
thanks
MM

No. SharePoint's work flows are created from SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio. Third party solutions like Nintex have other approaches.

Hello,
you can find multiple sample on the web like those

Possible to fill a list using a custom Workflow in Sharepoint 2013

Is it possible to develop a custom workflow that compares a Contact List and the Active Directory and add any missing people to the list? Or is this a functionality not available with workflows and sharepoint 2013?

Instead of workflow you can do this,
Have user profile service application set up ,which will run on daily basis by default(you can configure to run Hourly/Minutely also) to import all users along with user attributes(email, department ..etc) to SharePoint. Configuring UPS :
http://blog.anuragg.com/2012/12/configure-user-profile-service.html
Create an item added event receiver on your "Contacts" list ,build business logic to fetch the corresponding user details from the above synced user profile properties. Retrieving User profile properties :

Reading values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013

We are able to read the values of text, number columns through custom workflow (via coding) in SharePoint 2013. However, we are not able to read values from lookup columns. So, request anyone to provide help on this.
Thanks & regards,
Aditya

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to read values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013.
Since the workflow just doesn't get lookup fields, let's give it something static to work with instead. If we can capture the ID of the lookup field and store that as a static value in our list, the workflow can happily use that to look up our related.
For more information, you can refer to:
SharePoint 2013 Workflows and Lookup Columns

Multiple "Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013)" content type found

Users on one specific sub-site reported that they are unable to add site columns to content type. When user clicks "add existing site column" user get error message - upon looking up on ULS, it indicate there were duplicate column "System.ArgumentException:
No two choices should have the same ID". I came across similar issue on different site before and resolved it by deleting duplicate column, plus that site column was not used on any list or associated with any content type but this time duplicate
column is "Task outcome" column which is associated with "Workflow Task(SharePoint2013)" content type. So looking up these two specific site column and content type I noticed there are 8 occurrence of each at affected site
level (see below on image).
Similarly there are 8 "Task Outcome" columns under Site Columns. So I refreshed staging env with prod copy and tried to delete "Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013" content type and got error message as shown below. Under Site features, I noticed
"SharePoint 2013 Task List" feature was enabled, hoping this will do the trick I disabled it as we still use SharePoint 2010 workflows, but to no avail.
Sorry, something went wrong
The content type "Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013)" is part of an application feature.
Not sure how it got started and something will try to find out but any advise on how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
MK Sin

Hi Sin,
According to your description, my understanding is that the users got an error when clicking “add existing site column”.
For deleting the duplicate “Task outcome”column, you need to go to the “Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013)” content type, click the “Task outcome” column, and remove it from the content type.
Then go to site columns, find the duplicate columns, and delete them and make sure only one “Task outcome” column exists.
After the above, re-add the “Task outcome” into the “Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013)” content type.

Workflow in SharePoint 2013: Update item in list

I have a task list where anyone can post a suggestion for a blog. There is a string field for the status.
I have a library where the author can upload the blog article when ready to send for review. Uploading the document triggers the workflow to start. This document is reviewed twice and when the author is satisfied it will go for translation and then for web
publication.
All of this is worked out in the workflow except for one thing: I would like to update the task list at each stage of the process to the current status. Since it can all be done programmatically, I don't need to use a "choice" field. The string
field would be just fine. One of the things I saw in my research is that "choice" fields won't update.
I have put a lookup field in the blog article library to correspond with the title in the task list to create a relationship.
First of all, is it possible to do to update a task from a document library, or am I just spitting in the wind? If so, why doesn't it work?

which specific field you want to update after task approval. Did you create a content type based on workflow task (SharePoint 2013) and associated that particular content type with your task list?
I repeat my question - do you want to update task list after the task execution or just after assignment?
If its just after assignment then I think its not possible OOB and if its after the execution of the task then its doable OOB since there are two variables set as task out i.e. task outcome and TaskID (guid of the current task list item) and from that TaskID
you can lookup the task list item and update any field.

Hi AmrHanmam,
According to your description, my understanding is that SharePoint 2013 workflow suspend with 401 error.
For resolving your issue , please do as the followings:
Be sure User profile synchronization is started.
The user by whom you are logged is available in User Profile list.
Final step full synchronization of User Profile Application.

Sharepoint 2010 Workflow successful: Sharepoint 2013 Workflow UNsuccessful:

Observation 1
1. I created 2 workflows that write "completed" to the workflow history
a. 1 workflow uses sp2010 workflow manager
b. 1 workflow uses sp2013 workflow manager
2. sp2010 workflow works fine; it will start either manually or automatically (when a new item is created ) without issue; "completed' is written to the log as expected. Good.
3. sp2013 does not start automatically (when a new item is created ); when trying to start manually I get error message "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow." Which I do, but still fails.
Bad.
4.On Workflows.aspx I can see the links to start the 2 workflows manually.
a. When I hover over the sp2010 workflow link I can see something that look like this:
http://playground/sites/falcontt/_layouts/15/IniWrkflIP.aspx?List={ae95de8e-508b-4aa6-b4b6-490288e35e9f}&ID=53&ItemGuid={697E4218-D889-4FB8-A27B-D188F5D93250}&TemplateID={199c3d86-89a8-4286-b285-37e2d2067b52}&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fplayground%2Fsites%2Ffalcontt%2FLists%2FTrouble%2520Tickets%2Fall%2520requests%2Easpx
b. But when I hover over the sp2013 workflow link I can see something that look like this:
javascript:StartWorkflow4('949cb889-9b46-4959-9673-842e60cc5a42', '53', '{697E4218-D889-4FB8-A27B-D188F5D93250}')
Should this link also look similar to the sp2010 workflow link? If so, do you have any idea why it is different?
Observation 2
In Sharepoint Designer 2013, when I goto Navigation -> Workflows and click on the 2010 workflow, I see a file listed under "Forms" that looks like this "sp2010 test workflow.xsn". By the way the name of the workflow happens
to be "sp2010 test workflow".
But when I goto Navigation -> Workflows and click on the 2013 workflow, I see a NO file listed under "Forms". Should I see "sp2013 test workflow.xsn" listed there? If yes, can you think of why it is not listed there?
I saved the workflow debug logs from Event Viewer but won't share that info here unless necessary, to avoid making things look more complicated than they have to be.
Thanks for any comments suggestions, tips, questions, anything, etc.
Thanks and have a great weekend.
George

Hi George,
First of all, I'd like to clarify that workflow manager is dedicated for SharePoint 2013 workflow platform. SharePoint 2010 workflow is integrated in SharePoint server, while 2013 workflow is based on a new platform named workflow manager server.
In SharePoint 2013 designer, 2010 workflow has forms while 2013 workflow doesn't have forms.
For this issue, I suspect there is something incorrect with workflow manager. From the error message "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow", please flush the DNS cache via executing
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS, and restart workflow manager related services such as below, then recreate 2013 workflow to test the issue:

Workflow in SharePoint 2013

Give me a simple way to create Leave approval 2 levels of approval in SharePoint 2013 Using SharePoint Designer 2013....
1. I created a List in sharepoint 2013 with these fields ... ( Name, Re. No. Leave Type, Start Date, end date )
2. The Approver names and endorser details (email and dept.) i stored in Custom list..
Hai

Try following below:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-server-help/use-an-approval-workflow-HA101793831.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sharepoint__cloud/archive/2012/01/05/send-holiday-request-to-your-reporting-manager-for-approval.aspx
Below are the steps to get it done.
1. Open SharePoint Designer 2010 and get connect to the site. In my case,
http://sp2010:81
2. Under the Site Objects, click on Workflows.
3. Choose List Workflows, and click on Calendar ( I am using the default calendar).
4. In the Editor, in the Step 1, type " send" and choose send email to
these users. Click on these users and select browse button to add users to "To". Select
User who created current item.
5. Add another Step in Editor. (Step 2)
6. Click on Actions in Ribbon, and choose Lookup Manager of the
User. Click on user and choose User who created current item. In the Output variable , choose new variable and name it ManagerName.
7. So now we have Manager is of the current user who has submitted the Holiday Request. New we need to assign Task to the manager for approval or rejection.
8. You can put a "send email" steps to send email to the manager. Same as 4th point, but here you need to click on
Workflow Lookup for a User . In Data Source choose Workflow Variables and Parameters & in Field from source choose ManagerName.
9. Click on Actions in Ribbon, select collect data from user.
10. Click on data, it will start a Wizard. Click Next, Enter the name for the task and suitable Description ( such as Name: Holiday Request). Click next.
11. Here you need to add a field. Click Add, give the field name as Holiday Request. Information type has to be Choice type. Click Next
12. In the column Settings, add the options that you want to give to manager, such as Approval, Reject in seperate lines. Click Finish.
13. Click this user and select ManagerName similar to point 8.
14. Click on variable and choose new variable and choose Holiday variable.
15. Almost done.... Now all we need to do it compare the Holiday variable value.
16. Add another Step ( Step 3) in the editor.
17.Click on Conditions in Ribbon and select If value equals value, click on 1st value in the condition, click on fx button. Make sure Data Source is Workflow Variables and Parameters, Field from Source Variable: ManagerName.
18. In the 2nd value field in the condition, enter Approved.
19. If this condition holds true then send an email to the Submitter (Same as point 2)
20. Add another Else if condition and this time 2nd value field in If value equals value
should be Rejected.

SPUCWORKERPROCESS.EXE is not running message when debugging workflow on Sharepoint 2013

When I launch my workflow from Visual studio 2013 I get an error saying "Unable to attach. SPUCWORKERPROCESS.EXE is not running".
I verified that "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service " is running in Central Administration"
I pass these commands from powershell:
$acl = Get-Acl HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName
$person = [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]"Users"
$access = [System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights]::FullControl
$inheritance = [System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags]"ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit"
$propagation = [System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags]::None
$type = [System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType]::Allow
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule($person, $access, $inheritance, $propagation, $type)
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
Set-Acl HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName $acl
And I run Visual Studio 2013 as Administrator.
Effectively when I look in Task Manager there is no SPUCWORKERPROCESS.EXE but a lot of SPUCWORKERPROCESSPROXY.EXE.
My environnement developpement is a single Windows Server 2012 R2 as Domain Controler with Sharepoint 2013 SP1 and February 2015 Cumulative Updates. Visual Studio 2013 Update 4.
Any idea

Hi,
Per my understanding, there is an issue when deploying a workflow solution from Visual Studio.
I suggest you check the ULS logs to collect more information for troubleshooting this issue.
About how to check the ULS logs:

Also, you can try creating an empty SharePoint project without extra customization for a test to see if the issue persists.
Thanks

Emailing external user using a workflow in Sharepoint 2013

I am currently trying to create a list where the user can upload a document, input an email address (external) and an expiration date. I then have a workflow that will send an email on the expiration date. The problem I am getting is that Sharepoint 2013
doesn't like emailling externally.
22/01/14: I have since found that this isn't a problem with exchange, as Sharepoint is trimming the addresses out of the original workflow. Does anyone know how to stop this.
Please help.

you need to allow their IP address to relay anonymously in Exchange.
