Completion of one workflow is triggering another workflow

Hi Experts,
I am facing a wierd issue. I have created a workflow to approve/reject a contract. In the start condition I have maitained a container attribute to check is the agent is not WF-BATCH AND activity type = 00001under conditions there is only one event that is triggerred in all scenarios.
Also to remove the workitem for the approvers inbox when the contract is settled/reversed directly from the transaction i have used an event step and a process control step within a loop.
Everything is working fine in development system, but im facing a weird issue in QA.
Once the workitem is approved the workflow is completed, but it is starting another workflow for the same contract number and when i check the containers that i hv used under conditions, those do not match.
i.e the agent is WF-BATCH and activity type = 00000 . Then how come the workflow is started again ?
Can any1 help.
BR,
Aaarvi.

Hi Swami,
Thank you for the quick response.
I just found that, in my development system in event linkages a check fucntion module SWB_2_CHECK_FB_START_COND_EVAL is used, whereas the same is not used in QA.
Can this be causing the issue by any chance?
Aarvi.

Workflow 2013 start another workflow 2013

In an existing workflow 2013, I need to lower the permission levels of a user so that they can not modify a custom listed after it as been submitted. Thus I am thinking of having he first workflow 2013 start another workflow 2013 before the permission level
of the custom list item is lower.
Thus can you tell me how to do the following:
1. Have a workflow 2013 start another workflow 2013.
2. After the first workflow 2013 is started, have the first workflow not expect the 2nd workflow to run any results. The first workflow will basically end right after it lower the permission levels of the user that submitted the custom list to workflow 2013.

Complete workflow tasks before starting another workflow.

Hello everyone
I have a requirement in my project and i am not sure how to do that task in best possible way.
I have a reviewer workflow where i will be creating approval tasks for 'n' number of reviewers (the reviewers we get it from initiation form).
For example
I have 4 reviewers and there will be 4 approval tasks (1 for each) that will be created and if I have a reply percentage (the people who reviewed
the tasks assigned to them) set to say 50%.
Then if at least 2 reviewers are sending reply for the tasks assigned to them then
we can start another workflow manually and when that new workflow is starting we should complete all the tasks that are in progress for the review workflow
If there are only 1 reviewer or no one is sending reply then we should not allow
the new workflow to start and if anyone try to execute the workflow manually we should say “Minimum number of reviewers had not replied to the tasks assigned to them so we cannot start the workflow now. Retry later”.
How to achieve this requirement? I already developed the 2 workflows that I discussed here and it is working correctly. I simply need to create this dependency condition
between the 2 workflows as I discussed here. Please suggest me the proper way for achieving my requirement.
Thanks

Hi K, the only way I can see this working is if you make the second workflow automatic, and have it start when the number of approvals reaches a certain number. This number would have to be in another column (possibly a calculated column).

Move a folder, sub-folders, and documents under that folder from one document library to another within a Workflow

Hello,
I'm building a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010 (Unfortunately we are not on 13 yet), and in that workflow I need to move a folder (with all it's sub-folders and items) from one document library to another document library.
I tried a copy item but that kept failing, I checked content type, columns, and permission and it all looks good.
the other option I started looking into is to Create the folder in the document list and them move all the items under that folder to the new folder. However I can't figure out how to loop through each items in that folder.
Has this issue been addressed? or does someone has a solution.
I looked and searched and all I found was tutorials on moving single items into a folder, but not entire folders.
Thanks
Hani

Why to take pain in creating a workflow that copies folders, sub-folders and all of its contents from one document library to another.
Simply open your source and destination document library in Windows Explorer mode and start copying your folder, sub-folders and contents that you want to copy out of the box.
You will find "Open with Explorer" button under the Library tab on the ribbon of document library.

Move Files from one document set to another document set using workflow

Hi All,
Env : SP 2013 Server - SPD 2013.
I'm trying to make a SPD Workflow that must copy a files from one Document Set to another Document set in the same library other document library
Does Someone already get success for Copy files from one Document Set to another Document set?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to move Files from one document set to another document set using workflow.
I recommend to use the custom workflow activity Copy List Item Extended Activityto
copy files to another document set.
You can do this with codeless SharePoint Designer workflows as long as you can install the
Codeplex Custom SharePoint Designer Workflow Activities.
These activities are also built-in to SPD2013. However, you can only use the custom activities in the SharePoint 2010 Platform.
To install the custom activities, please follow the steps as below:
Download the solution file form
Useful Sharepoint Designer Custom Workflow Activities
Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
Run the command: add spsolution c:\ dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp
Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
Open the SharePoint designer, create SharePoint 2010 Platform workflow, add action from Custom Actions.

Call one workflow in another workflow

How to call one workflow in another workflow? which QPAC is used to achieve this functionality?

None. If the workflow being called is in the active state you should find alongside your list of 'QPACS' in the Services panel.
You can then drag it onto the caller process and configure it the same way you would any other QPAC.
Keep in mind that your parent process will wait or continue immediately, depending on your user settings. Then there is the issue of security....
Good luck!

Workflow is triggerred in golden client

Hi Workflow guru,
i got a very unique scenario here. i did try to activate the standard travel request approval workflow. (ws20000050). in my environment, i do have two client for the development server. one is served as configuration client and another is served as unit testing client.
I also transport the necessary activation of the workflow from configuration client to unit testing client. However, when the workflow get triggerred, it is happened in the configuration client instead of unit testing client. (please take note that the portal is pointing to unit testing client.
Can anyone throw any light on what are the possible steps that i did wrong?
Regards.

Hi Viji,
i did the same as you mentioned. ithe workflow is triggered when i am doing the simulation of event also SWUD. however, it does not happen when i am doing the trip transaction. instead, it is pointed to the workflow in the configuration client.
Is that any other possiblity that it will causing it?
I vaguely remember that i did activate the binding in the configuration client for the workflow and transport it to the testing client. could it be the cause of it? if it is, is that anyway i can revert back to the original state?
Regards,

Workflow not triggering when changing Item-level Permissions in Sharepoint 2013 list

Scenario:
We have a custom list in Sharepoint 2013 that we use for Case Management. We have a workflow that triggers on a created item generated from an email. The user then gets a reply with a link to his own case.
I want the users only to be able to see their own cases and no one elses. When I change this under
Advanced Settings under List Settings and
Item-level Permissions and set them to Read items that were created by the user
and Create items and edit items that were created by the user
the workflow doesn´t trigger.
How can I resolve this? I've tried every possible out-of-the-box permissions but with no result. Help!
Thanks in advance!
// Browncreek

When you're testing , remember you cant trigger declarative workflow from the System Account - you need a general user account for auto-trigger workflows. Good luck!
Chris McNulty MCSE/MCTS/MSA/MVTSP | blog http://www.chrismcnulty.net/blog | twitter @cmcnulty2000 Microsoft Community Contributor Award 2011
Hi, I have the same problem. Except that I am not using an email to create a new item. The item is created by members of a SharePoint group that have Contribute access to the list. When use the same settings i.e.
Read items that were created by the user and Create items and edit items that were created by the user,
the workflow does not trigger. If I set it back to Real all items and Create
and Edit all items, it triggers the workflow.
Please help me resolve as I have rolled this out to pilot users and am having this trouble.
Thanks,

Workflows not triggered when documents are created in Doc Set via Content Organizer

The following is my scenario:
A document set (containing several documents) is created in Library A on Site A
Using Send To, the Document Set is sent to the Drop Off Library on Site B (a different Site Collection)
A Content Organizer rule then moves the Document Set and its documents to destination Library B
In Library B I have defined a workflow (using Visual Studio 2012) that is triggered when new item is create
When the Document Set arrives in Library B from the Drop Off library (i.e. when the Content Organizer moves the Doc Set to Library B), the workflow is triggered (and executes) on the Document Set, but it is NOT triggered on the documents within the Document
Set. How can I get the workflow to trigger on the documents within the set when they are created via the Content Organizer rule?
The interesting thing is that if I manually add another document to the Document Set in Library B, the workflow is triggered on that document. It just does not trigger when the documents are created via the Content Organizer.

Hi,
In edit Content Organizer rule page, I see there is an option as Automatically create a folder for each unique value of a property:
However, unlike the drop down used in the property based filters above, this drop down *only* contains properties that are required by your content type.
This is done to prevent adding folders that have no values for a property.
If you need to put similar documents to the same folder, you could consider making use of this feature.

Triggering SRM workflow from a web-based form (HTML)

I want some help on triggering an SRM workflow from this form.
Thanks.

Hi Vadim,
I would like to explain the scenario:
1.The form would reside in the SAP Enterprise portal
2.When the form is completed and the "submit" button is clicked, I expect a workflow in SAP SRM to be triggered.
3.The workflow is a developed three-step approval workflow. It was developed using the Hierarchical Approval workflow wizard.
Questions:
1. How can the workflow be triggered when the submit button is clicked?
2. How can the data from the Form be integrated into the workflow and vice versa?

so anyone help me..urgent issue..
Thanks in advance
Gowrishankar

What is the message that you are getting for the event? Is it "No receiver entered" or something else?
Check for the event linkage between your event and workflow in SWE2. If it is not set select the checkbox "Linkage Activated" and acitivate the linkage and then try to trigger the event.
If your event linkage gets deactivated everytime you try to trigger the event, there could be some problem in binding from your event to workflow container. Check if all mandatory parameters in workflow receive data from event container.

Workflow not triggered for BP when start condition's field is set by BADI

Hi guys,
I have created a workflow and given the start Event "Changed" of object BUS1006. In this I have given a start condition which triggers this event when a particular field on transaction BP is populated.
Now the problem is that when I myself explicitly populate the field and press save the workflow is triggered fine, but when I populate that field automatically in a Save BADI (BUPA_GENERAL_UPDATE), the workflow is not triggered. Tcode swel just returns the msg that Start condition returns 'FALSE' for object.
Can someone please help me in this or let me know where I can find its cause in system.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Regards,
Shaili

If this is just one field, create your own custom event and code launching it when saving BP with your field changed.
Maybe event Changed is executed only for changes in GUI.
If you program your own one you will have 100% control of it.

Triggering the workflow after the Notification is created

Hi Everyone,
If the two workflow templates have the same triggering event BO: BUS7051, Event: CREATED). Both the workflows are triggered after the notification is created.
Scenario:
After terminating an employee notification number is created and triggers the workflow template 99900033 (Event: CREATED)
After Promoting an employee notification number is created and triggers the workflow template 99900035 (Event: CREATED)
My Requirement is: I want to trigger only one workflow template depending on my scenario (Termination or Promotion).
How can I achieve this? Could you please let me know?

please include a simple condition in SWB_COND where employment EQ Termination for termination event linkage (SWE2) and similary for promotion also create ne more condition and include in promotion event linkage.
You might be having some doc type, so based on this you can achieve this.
