Automator workflow list not updating

Anyone know why the list of files shown under "My Workflows" just accumulates the names of any workflows you've saved, rather than removing Workflows you've deleted manually?
I've only three workflows at the location Automator says these are stored but I've seven showing in the list- four with the same name!
Thanks,

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Outcome: Unknown Error

Received this error (The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.) recently on a workflow that was
working fine and no changes were made to the workflow.
I have tried a few suggestions, i.e. adding a pause before any ‘Update’ action (which didn’t help because the workflow past this action without incident); checked the data type being written
to the fields (the correct data types are being written); and we even checked the list schema to ensure the list names and the internal names are aligned (they
are), but we still cannot figure out why the workflow is still throwing this error.
We located the area within the workflow step where it is failing and we inserted a logging action to determine if the workflow would execute the logging action but it did not, but wrote the same error message.
The workflow is a Reusable Approval workflow designed in SharePoint Designer 2010 and attached to a content type.
The form associated with the list was modified in InfoPath 2010.
Approvers would provide their approval in the InfoPath form which is then read by the workflow.
Side note - items created after the workflow throws this Unknown Error some seem to be working fine.
We have deleted the item in question and re-added it with no effect.
Based on what we were able to determine there don’t seem to be any consistency with how this issue is behaving.
Any suggestions on how to further investigate this issue in order to find the root cause would be greatly appreciated?
Cheers

Hi,
I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information using Update Item action

I got error "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information "I found out the cause is Update Item action
I need to update item in another List call Customer Report ,the field call "Issues" with data type "Choice" to yes
then the error arise . please help..

Thanks for the quick response Nikhil.
Our SPF 2010 server is relatively small to many setups I am sure. The list with the issue only has 4456 items and there are a few associated lists, eg lookups, Tasks, etc see below for count.
Site Lists
Engagements = 4456 (Errors on this list, primary list for activity)
Tasks = 7711 (All workflow tasks from all site lists)
Clients = 4396 (Lookup from Engagements, Tslips, etc)
Workflow History = 584930 (I periodically run a cleanup on this and try to keep it under 400k)
Tslips = 3522 (Engagements list can create items here, but overall not much interaction between lists)
A few other lists that are used by workflows to lookup associations that are fairly static and under 50 items, eg "Parters Admin" used to lookup a partners executive admin to assign a task.

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.

I started getting these errors on one of my lists that has several workflows running on it. The strange thing is it has been running pretty much error free for 1.5 years and we have not made any changes to the workflows and no updates have been applied prior
to the errors staring.
It is typically always the same workflow but it doesn't always happen, only some of the newly added list items will error. If I simply cancel the current instance and manually start it again it runs fine to completion and it only seems to error out
at the start.
Most of the other workflows pause/wait for a status change but I will be reviewing all the workflows to confirm there is no locking conflict. I have added a Wait to one other workflow that I know will update the list item on startup, it is populating
the Title column but even after that I am still getting the error.
I noticed in the TraceLogs, 2 errors that started on Feb 2 and I could not find them in any previous logs (went back many days with no occurrences).

The "Field ID"{49af83c9...} listed is a Lookup column to a Clients list on the same site.
Any suggestions on what could be causing the sudden errors. I will be reviewing all other workflows but as I mentioned previously, this system has been working great up until Feb 2 with no changes to the lists or workflows for 3-6+ months.
Thanks in advance.

Why is my wish list not updating when I add songs through iTunes Radio?

Wish list is not updating.

Count me in the same boat. I'm an iTunes Match customer. While listening to iTunes Radio I push the star and then choose to add to wish list except it never adds. Doing the same function on my Mac works fine.
I found a note from Apple that stated you can only add "albums" to your wish list on iOS 7, not songs. That then begs the question....why add functionality that is purposefully intended to add songs in your own UI????

Global Address List Not Updating in Outlook

I have a question from user about Global Address Not updating in Outlook. We have a user whom name was changed, how ever his new name didn't appeared on Global Address List in Outlook client
I did explained to him that Outlook require about 48 hours to reflect a new update Global Address List then he asked me why previously (24 hours) his old name also disappear from Global Address List.
Could you please advice.

Hi,
Please check whether the new name is updated in Global Address List when the user accesses his mailbox from OWA and Outlook Online mode.
If the new name is also not changed in GAL for OWA, please refer to bawzman's suggestion to run cmdlets to update globel address list in Exchange server.
If the issue only happens in Outlook cached mode, the issue should be related to Offline Address Book which is used for Cached mode as Globle Address List. We can manually download it and update the address list by clicking Send/Receive > Send/Receive
Groups > Download Address Book to have a try.

Orchestrator - SCSM List not updating

Hi,
When updating or adding a list item in Service Manager it is not showing in Orchestrator.
For instance, I added a new support group that will trigger a task whenever a ticket is assigned to that Support Group. On the Monitor Object task when I select Support Group as a filter, it shows a list without my newly created Support Group.
I have an SCSM connector to Orchestrator, but when I run it I see no change.
Is there something else that I have to try?

Hi,
Yes it's a real problem ... you can try this
In order to force SCO runbookactivity (i.e. Get Object) to re-read a class property:
1. Open an activity
2. If the activity had any filters, make a note of them
2. Under Class field, click on Brows button and select the same class
3. If the activity had any filters, they would be deleted at this point - re-enter the filters.

Approval Workflow does not update the Content Approval status if started automatically

Hi,
I’m using a simple Approval Workflow associated with
Content Approval on site pages. It works fine when I set it to be started manually (by using
Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item permissions
option) and on the completion of the workflow the
Content Approval status is updated accordingly. But when I set it to be started automatically (by using
Start this workflow when a new item is created
/ Start this workflow when an item is changed
options), it does not updates the Content Approval status. Note that I’ve set the
Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use this workflow to control content approval)
option to true.
Regards

Hello,
It is recommended to select "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" when you want to use the workflow to manage content approval for
a library.
According to the Notes for “Enable Content Approval” option in
this reference:
If you are using this Approval workflow to manage content approval (moderation) for a library, and you selected the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version
of an item check box on the Add a Workflow page..
If you did not select the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item check box on the Add a Workflow page because you do not want this workflow to
be the default content approval workflow for a library, you can select the Update the approval status (use this workflow to control content approval) check box to make this workflow a secondary content approval workflow that specific users can
start manually.
That means having an approval workflow start automatically when a document is changed or created is not a good practice when you want to use the workflow to manage
content approval for a library. You should either select "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" or give users the option to start the workflow manually at the time they want to submit for an approval.
Thanks & Regards.

Main Listing not updating for Mister Ron's Basement

Hi All,
I don't know if anyone's able to help on this -- it may just be one of those mysterious things that there's nobody to complain to about it.
Still, Mister Ron's Basement, which has been seven days a week faithfully since August, has NOT updated in the ITMS listing since Saturday, December 24. This makes three in a row that haven't shown up yet. Changes I make to the tags don't show up either -- HOWEVER, all the new episodes come through in the subscription section of iTunes.
Maybe ITMS has trouble dealing with numbers beyond 228? Up until now, the listing has displayed the LAST 100, and older ones have scrolled off the bottom. I put up #231 last night, and will put #232 tonight.
BTW, Mister Ron's Basement is composed of my readings of public domain humorous short stories -- it is thoroughly researched, and lots of fun. Whatever ITMS is doing, it doesn't seem to be hurting my download numbers -- I had 5558 downloads on Monday, and 7554 on Tuesday...

iTunes might be just falling behind in their updates.
Why not fill out a complaint at:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/podcast
You'll probably get a canned response which has nothing to do with your issue, but at least it will open up an email dialogue with someone on the other side to look into the problems you are having.

Workflow Container not updated

Hi All,
The user has taken action on a work item, but one parameter in container is not updated.
Is there any user related authorization we need to take care.
Thanks,
Aravind

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies. I will further elaborate the scenario. This is an HCM forms & processes based workflow.
The user is approving the form, the user can either approve, reject or return the form. Based on this PROCSTATE variable
can have 3 values, APPROVE, REJECT or BACK. But for one user only the PROCSTATE parameter in container
is not getting set.
Why for only one user this parameter is not set? If this is an issue with binding, it would have happened all the users.
Thanks,
Aravind

Sharepoint 2013, MS Project 2013 - Task List not updating when the project file is changed

Hi
I have created a SharePoint task list and timeline from a MS Project 2013 file on my PC. I have then created a new Project file from that task list which then places the new project file in the site asset folder and provides me with a synced copy. I now
only use the SharePoint copy of the project file in my MS Project as any change I make to the project file should be reflected in the Task list and vice-versa
However if I add some tasks into the middle of the project with MS project, the SharePoint Task list is not updated to show these additional tasks. If I open the SharePoint task list with MS Project - from the task list toolbar - the project file shows the
added tasks.....so the MS Project file in the site asset folder is correct but the tasks in the SharePoint task list is not being updated
Anyone seen this before ?
Thanks
Geoff

Hi Esben,
According to your description, the error occurred when opening the task list with the content approval enabled in Project.
Per my knowledge, when we enable the content approval for the task list, the field named Approval Status which is required will be created in the list.
However, if a project plan doesn’t contain a field that is required in SharePoint, the plan won’t sync.
The error occurs because of the required field Approval Status when the content approval is enabled in the task list, so we need to add the required field as a custom field in Project.
More information:
Sync with a SharePoint tasks list:

Listing not updated

Hello Expert,
We are doing mass listing by WSM3. after executing this , message shows article listed.
when we check it shows.
but if we are adding new site to assortment, again do listing by wsm3, message shows article listed.
but at new site it is not listing.
Regards,
Santosh Jaiswal

Hi Santosh
Once you run the WSM3 even you add new site it will run a background job & list automatically.
you should have an entry in table WLK1 for an article & assortment combination.
If you are getting the article not maintained error then it means that the article is listed but the MARC table is not updated.
for that you have an sap correction note to generate the missing article segments.
If this does not solve your query, Pls let me know exact error.
Regards
Sudha

Satellite S55 DVD Directory List Not Updating

New install of a Toshiba Satellite S55.The drive seems to work ok, but the file listing does not u.pdate when you insert or remove a dvd.If there is a DVD in the drive, Windows Explorer shows the contents. Pull out the DVD, and Windows Explorer still thinks the drive is there. Ditto in the other direcection - inserting a new drive, you need to force Windows Explorer to update. This is particularly a problem when you try to install a multiple disk application - the system does not update that a new disk is in the drive and keeps insisting you need to insert the next disk. Is this a Driver update issue? A DVD drive issue? A Windows issue?Help !!!!! Dave

Hi
I think its a lower upper filter issue and I think you could solve this following this step by step instruction.
First of all remove the ODD (CD/DVD) drive from the list in device manager.
Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Finally you should reboot the unit.
After that windows will recognize the ODD again
