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.

SharePoint 2013 Workflow created on SharePoint Designer gets canceled

Just wanted to share my solution to a problem that I was having when creating a SharePoint 2013 Workflow that includes creating a task and assigning it to a group of people. After publishing the workflow and initiating it you get:
Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled in less than one minute.

An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance.

I was not able to find any answer anywhere, so my solution was:
1. Simply upgrade SharePoint Server 2013 to the latest version which in turn updates Microsoft.Activities.Proxy.dll
2. Clear the SharePoint Designer cache

Email Security Plug-in - Doesn't seem to work with right click or save and send

I've searched the knowledge base but have not located the answer yet.
We have the Encrypt Message plug-in installed to flag the email [SEND SECURE]. This works very well when in Outlook. It does not seem to work when right clicking a file to send outside of Outlook or performing Save and Send from within Microsoft Office. The add-in still shows and users are clicking it and the Send button but the emails are not going securely. We are on Microsoft2010 on mostly XP machines.
How can I get Encrypt Message to work in all instances?
Thank you.

Siri doesn't seem to work with Find My Friends

Siri doesn't seem to work with Find My Friends completely accurately. If I ask it where once of my friends is, it tells me it doesn't know, but shows that person in the response, twice, with their location. Anyone experiencing this?
Also - I found a bug. If you dictate a note via Siri it will not sync with iCloud at all. If you manually update the note however after Siri dictates it will. It will also sync if you manually start a note and then use the microphone on the keyboard.

Actually, I figured it out. For the person in question I had both [email protected] and [email protected] listed in their contact info. When you look at them in Find My Friends see which one is highlighted and delete the other. Once I did that they only showed up once in Siri.

Hi Susan,
I checked using the email you provided, and there's no history of any orders under that email address. (Then, I removed your email address from you post, since this is a public forum and it's best not to broadcast contact information.)
I'll message you privately, and you can send along your email from Adobe if you'd like.

Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

Thank you for this, and to Caleb.
I've tried using Caleb's approach (which is the same as I used with Lion), but the programme doesn't respond now that I have installed Mountain Lion.
My problem is that I do not want to use IE7 but that a programme I need regular access to will only allow IE7 and I've been told by the developers that it is too expensive to upgrade this programme to allow it to be used by other browsers.
So, my puzzle remains the same. I could access IE7 and use the programme using Caleb's solution with Lion. I can't do the same with Mountain Lion. I do (I think!) understand your point about the programme requiring IE7 specifically, but if it worked on Lion, why isn't it working on Mountain Lion? Or was I just lucky before?
I'll try mende1's approach, though I doubt I'm technical enough to virtualise anything!
Thanks again. Any further thoughts welcome.

Can someone tell me why a standard microphone doesn't seem to work with a mac-mini? Is there another kind of microphone I need to use?

can someone tell me why a standard microphone doesn't seem to work with a mac-mini? Is there another kind of microphone I need to use?

Most microphone output a low voltage signal that must be put through a preamp.
The computer needs to have a line voltage signal level instead.

My New HP P2015d Printer ($400) doesn't seem to work with New Pavilion Slimeline 64 bit PC !

My New HP P2015d Printer ($400) doesn't seem to work with New Pavilion Slimeline 64 bit PC ! I need some suggestions. Any help would be appreciated.
The printer worked for a while and then out of the blue stopped working. We have a virus protection system, so I doubt it is a virus issue.
*** We already tried to download the latest drivers and that doesn't seem to work ***

Hi
Are you trying to find your printer's email address? If so, check out details below

Annotations - InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS doesn't seem to work with GF

Hi there,
I'm using the toplink essentials jar file with a stand alone J2SE application. I'm using annotations for ORM with Toplink implementation
What I want to achieve is to map the base class objects to one table, and sub class objects to a different table. Currently - both tables (and objects) have the exact same structure, but I use inheritence in order to identify where should the object be registered. Thus I'm trying to map an inhertiance using TABLE_PER_CLASS type.
It doesn't seem to work:
My classes look like this:
Base class I want to map to REGION table:
@Entity
@Table(name="REGION")
@Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS)
public class Region implements BaseBusinessObj
@Id
@Column(name = "REGION_ID", insertable = false, updatable = true)
@GeneratedValue(generator = "regionSeq")
@SequenceGenerator(name = "regionSeq",
sequenceName = "GSM_REGION_ID_SEQ", allocationSize = 1)
private int m_regionId;
@Column(name = "REGION_NAME")
private String m_regionName;
Subclass with exact same structure I want to map to GFR_REGION table which has the exact same database table structure as REGION:
@Entity
@Table(name="GFR_REGION")
public class GfrRegion extends Region
This doesn't work. The Toplink adds entities of the GfrRegion to the REGION table and does not recognize it should go to the GFR_REGION table.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi all,
Any news about the support for TABLE_PER_CLASS in TopLink/EclipseLink ?
The main question is what was the reason for making this an optional strategy for mapping in the specs ? Both OpenJPA and Hibernate have it and there are cases when this is usefull.
From EclipseLink perspective, how difficult would be to add this ? I didn't have a chance yet to closely examine the codebase for EclipseLink, but some architecture diagrams with some design decisions explained would help to community to better understand the product and make improvements.
Thank you,
Mircea

Bridge Offset Nulling Doesn't Seem to Work With SCC-SG24

Does anyone know if the DAQmx "Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration" vi works with the SCC-SG24 modules? We have used our NI-9237 module in the past to acquire dual-channel load cell (thrust & torque) measurements, and calling that vi does a fine job of zeroing out the values before applying the load. However, it doesn't seem to work when we try to take the same measurements using an SCC-SG24 module.
We are able to zero the values manually, by using the nulling resistors and potentiometers in the SCC-SG24. But, whether the nulling resistors are installed or not, we are not able to zero the values using the "Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration" vi. Running that vi does induce a significant offset in the values, but it is not the correct offset needed to bring the values to zero. For example, with no load applied, a torque reading before running the vi may be +1090 in-lbs, and be "zeroed" to -465 in-lbs after running the vi. Running the vi multiple times (to check repeatability) always brings us back to approximately -465 in-lbs.
An additional issue (not sure if it's related or not) is that if we try to run this vi to offset just one of the channels in the task (such as just thrust, but not torque) it will still induce a small offset in the other channel, which doesn't seem right.
I guess I'm not clear on whether the subject vi is performing an operation on the hardware, the software, or both, so I'm not sure whether the SCC-SG24 modules may not be compatible with this vi?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello Dhruser1,
I think that the DAQmx Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration should work for the SCC-SG24 module. Take a look at this article: Removing Large Initial Offset for Load Cell or Strain Measurements with SCXI-1520 or PXI-4220 in particular it mentions that using this VI in addition to the auto zero can introduce an offset. If you're doing both these is likely the cause.
Also, when you specify specific channels using the channels input are you also setting the "skip unsupported channels to false? If not this may be why it affects other channels.
I hope this helps, and if not please feel free to post back with an update after trying these things.
Cheers,
Brooks

Workflow created using sharepoint designer 2013 is not getting started and the initiator is Anonymous.

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

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?

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:)

Automator Workflow as Finder Plug In Doesn't Seem to Work Correctly

Has anyone noticed that if you create an Automator Workflow as a Finder Plug-in in Leopard it does not seem to work correctly or at all?
I have a two action Workflow.
1. Get Selected Finder Items
2. Import Files into iPhoto
When run inside Automator, it works fine. If I save as Finder Plug-in and use it in the Finder, it gets to the second action and dies.
I've seen other posts about Finder Plug-in weirdness and was wondering if this was another symptom.

Yes, I found this out today. Any Finder Workflow that I start with "Get Selected Finder Items" does not work. Hope they fix this soon ...that's an important one to work.

My new TomTom doesn't seem to work with my MacBook Pro (OS version 10.7.2). Is there any way I can make it work?

The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro? Does Apple want to drive us into using PCs or what is going on? Is there a driver or some other clever means of making the TomTom work as they used to work with Macs? This is an urgent question - please help if you can! Thanks. Bill

What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7. PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel. At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years. They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion. It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier. The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.
