Can I restart a failed workflow automatically

I'm submitting info online and sometimes the workflow will fail due to slow connection. Before my workflows start I have 1 workflow to start the HD spinning up which has helped but that hasn't fixed the problem completely. From what I have read I need to run a python script I think to restart...
Any ideas?

Thanks! This was the key I needed. It didn't work on first try, but once I signed out, restarted, then signed back in to the store, it did start... it's downloading now!

How can I restart a failed download?

Hello everyone. I just bought Mountain Lion a few days ago, and it started downloading happily in the launch pad but around 25% downloaded, my system restarted as another software component was doing an update and forced a restart. Ever since then, I can go back to the Mountain Lion feature in the app store, click Download, and re-enter my credentials, but then it just sits there. I then try clicking "Download" again and the little spinner spins for a second or so, then nothing. No new download in the launch control window, no obvious download point of Mountain Lion.
So how can I force my MBP (running Lion) to restart this download & install?

Thanks! This was the key I needed. It didn't work on first try, but once I signed out, restarted, then signed back in to the store, it did start... it's downloading now!

DAC to automatically restart a failed job

Hi Gurus,
Is there a way to automatically configure DAC to automatically restart a failed job, instead of manually restart the job in a windows environment.
Thanks
Simmz

Are you looking to restart automatically anytime the DAC task fails?? I would assume you want to resolve what is causing the task to fail before you restart, correct? You can script the DAC to start a EP (as the other user suggested), but restarting a task automatically without fixing what is cauing it will result in continuois failures (unless you change the Session/WF properties to not Fail parent when session fails..which is not recommended). The other option is to mark it complete which, again, is probably not recommended. I am not sure what advatage there is of automating/scripting a restart without knowing how and when the issue will be fixed.

How we can acess GOS to pop up automatically to user from workflow is our a

we plan to implement invoice verification workflow to start when an invoice is scanned and placed in holder in OAWD. So that workflow will start from then onwards with SAP archive link.
Please let us know how we can link scanner and SAP Archive link so that we can place the scanned document directly in to OAWD. how we open the image automatically when approver or AP clerk execute the workitem.
The process we want to follow is
1. Scan document and place in OAWD
2 Workflow is started based on the document type of Archive link( we want to use BKPF)
3 AP clerk receives workitem and execute it. APclerk see the transaction code FV60 to enter document and image of the scan automatically
4 AP clerk fill the document and park the document.
5 Workitem is sent to approver based on the rule specified
6 Approver execute the transaction invoice iamge is opened and sap document is displayed.
7 Approver check both image and sap docuemnt and take decision
8 Approver approves document , sap document is posted and ready for payment
9 If rejected go back to AP clerk.
Here issue is when user or approver execute the workitem ,how we can open image automatically along with sap screen.
or how we can acess GOS to pop up automatically to user from workflow is our another isssue

Hi,
It is possible to launch the stored image as soon as workitem is executed. You will need to maintain the archivelink customization to display stored document. Check the following link

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Can you run Automator workflows automatically, on a timer?

I created a workflow for backing up important files, and it's working just great.
However, I'd like the additional ease of having the workflow run on its own--every twelve hours, perhaps, instead of running it manually myself.
I don't see any settings or help topics that say I can do this. Can anyone help?

I thought this solved my problem, but I need some more help.
I have set iCal to open my workflow on a schedule, but opening the workflow file doesn't make the program run. What I end up with is an opened Automator window waiting for me to press the run button.
I tried to select "run script" in iCal, but my workflow file is greyed out, as if it isn't a "script." (Not really sure what a script is here.)
Can someone give me just a little bit of a nudge over the finish line on this one?
don't save it as a workflow. save it as an ical alarm. you have to decide on this at the beginning. when you start automator or choose to create a new flow it gives you a pulldown screen where you can choose what kind of workflow to make. choose ical alarm. then you can use it as an ical alarm and it will correctly run automatically wt the alarm time.

Restarting a failed admin server on another machine with different IP

Hi,
I'm trying to restart a failed admin server on another machine with different IP on Weblogic Server 10gR3. After copying the domain config to another server, the admin server can be started without any problem, but it cannot contact the managed server until the managed server is rebooted.
The behavior contradicts the documentation, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/server_start/failures.html#wp1064112, that says Running MSs will learn the new AS address when they are contacted by the AS after it has been started. It does not mention the managed servers need to be rebooted.
did I do anything wrong? Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Andreas

Hi,
What ever you said is true. If the IP Address of Admin Server is changed, then Managed Server must connect to Admin Server after "ReconnectIntervalSecs" . If the IP address is not moved then Admin Server Should contact Managed Server automatically.
Can you provide details steps you had performed, so that we can identify the root cause of the issue.
Thanks.

Why can't restart my iMac after I updated OS SOftware

Can't restart after I updated the software.....

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Can't start a 2013 Workflow in an Event Receiver

I am trying to run a SP2013 workflow from an Event Receiver but I get the error "The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId: aec2fc1b-3f33-44d8-85ab-c6c976617b8c" at the point I actually attempt to start the Workflow.
The scenario is as follows. I have 2 lists: List A and List B. Users have permissions to create items in List A but not List B. When users create a new item in List A, a SP2013 workflow runs which then creates a new item in List B. List B should then
run another SP2103 Workflow but because of how SP and workflows work, this second workflow on List B doesn't automatically run. Thus I have created an Item Added Event Receiver on List B that will run the required workflow automatically (at least it should
if it worked!)
I'm sure the problem must be something to do with permissions but nothing I try seems to solve it:
I can't just use the account of the user triggering the event as this user will be the person adding items to List A and they don't have permissions to do anything in List B (thus they cannot see items in list B or start workflows)
I can't run using RunWithElevatedPrivileges as a) I don't think this works well with Event Receivers and b) SP2103 workflows cannot be run using the admin account.
I have tried impersonation with an account specifically set up for running workflows (named mydomain\wssworkflow). This account has full control of the entire site, lists etc. but it still gives the error mentioned above. My code is shown below - the error
occurs on the line:
wfi.StartWorkflowOnListItem(sub, properties.ListItemId, payload);
Any help in working out why this isn't working would be appreciated.
Thank you,
-Stephen
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdded(properties);
var wsm = new Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager(properties.Web);
var wfss = wsm.GetWorkflowSubscriptionService();
var subs = wfss.EnumerateSubscriptionsByList(properties.ListId);
foreach (var sub in subs)
if (sub.Name == "RequestAddedToListB")
var userToken = properties.Web.EnsureUser(@"mydomain\wssworkflow").UserToken;
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(properties.Site.ID, userToken))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
var payload = new Dictionary<string, object>();
payload.Add("itemId", properties.ListItemId);
payload.Add("WorkflowStart", "StartWorkflow");
var wfi = wsm.GetWorkflowInstanceService();
wfi.StartWorkflowOnListItem(sub, properties.ListItemId, payload);
break;

This is the alternate code I had using SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges that didn't work. It gives the error
"Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"
on the line
var subs = wfss.EnumerateSubscriptionsByList(properties.ListId);
Thank you.

How to make a restart of the workflow in a process controlled workflow?

Hi Experts,
How to make a restart of the workflow in case of process controlled workflow? Scenario is like this:
The user has created a shopping cart with 1000 USD. The process schema has three process level with the first level being approval with completion.
The first level being executed by the responsible purchaser. Here, the purchaser adds the source of supply and changes the price of the shopping cart 2000 USD and approve the shopping cart.
Now, I want the approval task to start from beginning so that the requestor can know the changes and accept/reject the changes.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hi,
Restarting workflow goes to 1st level approval step. It is not requester.
I think you need to set condition for "Acceptance by Contact Person" in Define Process Level.

Masa

How Do You Restart a Failing Load Plan

If a Load Plan step fails, say because of some bad data or a bad join, I know how to correct the error and restart the failing step or the failing task in the Operator.
How do you restart the failing Load Plan or any higher level step in the Operator?
Right now my Load Plan steps all say 'Restart from failed task'.
I can't see the Load Plan itself in the Operator, so I can't restart it directly.

In the Operator, there is an accordion section labeled "Load Plan Executions". You can restart from there.

How to start a Workflow automatically

Hello Friends,
I'm new to SharePoint Designer and facing some challenges to do it. Please help me on this.
My requirement is to send an automated email notification to an user when a specific document is created/modified in a particular folder. The document will come to SharePoint through emails (NOT by manual upload).
Remember: This workflow works fine when we upload the document manually to the folder. But If I send the document to the SharePoint through an email (I've enabled "incoming email" setting for the folder. So that people can sent
the document to the SharePoint) the workflow is NOT triggering.
Below are the steps I followed
1. I've created a list workflow and selected the folder name where the document will be saved. Let's say "File Received" is the folder name in my SharePoint and "Test File.docx" is the file that will
saved in this folder.
2. In the condition I wrote if current item Name contains "Test File" and in action I've created an email task
3. and finally in start option I've checked start workflow automatically when an item is created/modified.
This workflow is working perfectly when someone upload the document (i.e. Test File.docx). But when someone sent the same document though an email to this SharePoint, the document is saved in SP but the workflow is not triggering.
Any suggestion/help is really appreciable.
version: SPD 2010
Thanks! -Sandip
