Custom Workflows Failing

*All of our custom workflows are now failing. Here is the error from xgridagentd.log:*

*Now, to fill in some gaps...* podadmin is the local user account logged in at the time of running the jobs. dsaltmarsh is the user specified in the workflow's user short name, and is the owner of the group called msad60itsupport.
As for the errors, I'm not entirely sure why PcP is looking for a 99 directory inside the home folder. In my experience, a 99 directory is never a good thing.
Please note, I get this error for all my custom workflows. However, my default workflows appear to be fine using the pcastadmin user via Podcast Capture.
Any help is appreciated!

Hello,
I would turn on SWELS in Production until one of these cases occurs (10% is a lot so it wouldn't be for long) to be able to determine if it's the lack of event creation or not.
Is there a start condition?

Custom SharePoint Designer 2010 Workflows "Failed on Start"

Good morning everyone!
I have created a library using a custom Document Sets based content type that allows an additional custom Document based content type. I add a Document Set approval workflow using SharePoint Designer, but it constantly fails to start with these results:
Event Type
User ID
Description
Workflow Cancelled
System Account
Workflow [Workflow Name] was cancelled by System Account
Error
System Account
[Workflow Name] failed to start
I decided to test an OOTB workflow on the library to see if it would work and it did! An OOTB Approval Workflow functioned as expected. Also, other custom workflows on the site collection are running normally.
I've looked around for fixes, but haven't quite seen this exact scenario, so I figured I'd check here first before I started messing around with anything else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Toni Marie

Hi Toni,
According to your description, my understanding is that only the custom workflow containing "Start Document Set approval process" could not get be started.
Whether you tried to create a new workflow only containing "Start Approval Process" action via SharePoint Deisgner 2010. If not, please test again, compare the result.
Please create a new library, and add the document set into this library, then enable content approval for this library in library advanced settings. After that, re-create a new workflow only containing "Start Document Set Approval process" action,
compare the result.
Please test with another user, compare the result.
In addition, please check whether SharePoint 2007 Workflow feature and Workflow feature are enabled. If yes, please disable and re-enable them. If not, please enable them.
There is a similar post, please check if it is useful for you:

How do I add my Custom Workflow Activity to FIM 2010 R2 SP1 installed on Windows 2012 server?

Hellos.
I have tried and failed to add my custom.dll into the Windows Server 2012 GAC.
We have a version of FIM 2010 R2 Sp1 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and that was no problem. There seemed to be a gacutil.exe present on the system which added my assembly.
I cannot find gacutil.exe on the Windows 2012 Server.
I have downloaded and installed Windows SDK for Windows 8. However, when I try the gacutil.exe /i <myCustom.dll> nothing seems to happen.
Are there any guidelines how to add custom workflow activities to FIM when installed on a Windows Server 2012 system?
TIA
*HH

Well yes. It is fine when FIM is hosted on Windows Server 2008 R2.My difficulty is that I am using FIM 2010 R2 Sp1 and Windows Server 2012. No GACutility executable.
However, the problem has been resolved. Powershell can be used to modify the assemblies.
I opened a RunAs Administrator PS session. My assembly is in folder c:\Temp
Using Windows Explorer I browsed the folder c:\windows\assembly and noted the System.EnterpriseServices entries: version (2.0.0.0) and public key token (b03f5f7f11d50a3a)
(My version is 2.0.0.0 because when installing FIM and SharePoint 2013 the instructions I used suggested setting .Net version to be 2.0)
These powershell commands got me going...
PS C:\temp> [System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("System.EnterpriseServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a")
GAC Version Location
True v4.0.30319 C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_64\System.EnterpriseServices\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50...
PS C:\temp> $publish = New-Object System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publish
PS C:\temp> $publish.GacInstall("c:\temp\RunPowershellLibrary.dll")
PS C:\temp>
PS C:\temp>
PS C:\temp> iisreset
Amazingly I can see the assembly RunPowershellLibrary in my Windows 2012 GAC. :-)
Also, what is more cheering is that the custom activity actually works with FIM 2010 R2 Sp1.

Custom Workflow - BPEL - delete registered policies

Hi all,
I am trying to set up a custom workflow with the Oracle Beehive Custom Workflow Tutorial.
After some difficulties I finally succeeded in deploying the BPEL-process. Only the integration with beehive does not (yet ;-)) work correctly.
I need to redeploy the policy, since I would like to change the triggering eventtype. My first trial was to just add the policy once again - but it failed with 'A policy with the same name already exists.' Now I was trying to delete the policy - but that failed with 'No entity found the the given bodn'. 'Beectl list_policies' does not show my policy.
How can I ever delete or lookup my registered policies?
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Bettina

Hi Nickw..,
Sorry for the multiple repeated updates... it happened because of the slow internet connection
I am able to get the Worklist task now, but only for the CAPS lettered Users..!!
The Audit section in the BPEL Console for this process looks like:

SCSM 2012 - Problems running script in custom workflow

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a custom workflow in the Authoring Tool that will send an email when a ticket in certain queues is unassigned, but I only want this to run during business hours. I've created the PowerShell script, and it runs great on its own.
However, whenever I try to add any kind of scripting event to a custom workflow, the workflow fails:
Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.InconsistentDataException: The requested objects had an unknown management pack. ---> Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.InconsistentDataException: The call produced inconsistent results. The data on the client
does not match the data returned from the server. The most likely cause is that client-side cache is out of sync with server data. ---> Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.ObjectNotFoundException: An object of class ManagementPack with ID %GUID% was not
found...
If I create and import a management pack with an empty workflow, the workflow succeeds. If I use the "Add AD DS User to Group", the workflow succeeds. But as soon as I add a scripting event, the workflow fails.
For testing, I added a PowerShell event with this code:
$a=1
I also added a Command Script event with this code and got the same error as above: ping SomeServer
I even tried a VBScript, but that caused the workflow to not run at all:
dim someVariable
someVariable = "some value"
I then disabled the VBScript activity and the workflow runs successfully.
I'm running SCSM 2012 SP1 with UR4. I am copying the .dll file into the SCSM installation directory (which is not in the default location). The GUID referenced in the error code is the GUID for my custom MP.
This is my first time creating a custom workflow in the Authoring Tool. Can you tell me what I'm missing? Please let me know if you need any more information
Thanks!
Marnie

Thanks, Anders. I had seen that issue in my searches on this problem. I had tried both the manual fix suggested in that post as well as upgrading to UR4 (so I'm on on SP1 UR4). Neither approach made any difference.
Am I supposed to do anything with the .cs, .xoml, and .xomlx files that also get generated? I noticed that if I move ALL the associated files into the install directory (not just the .dll file), then import the MP, I get a different error. Instead of the
MP being missing, the error is now:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Microsoft.ServiceManager.WorkflowAuthoring.ActivityLibrary.WindowsPowerShellScript.Activity_Closed(Object sender, ActivityExecutionStatusChangedEventArgs e)
   at System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityExecutorDelegateInfo`1.ActivityExecutorDelegateOperation.Run(IWorkflowCoreRuntime workflowCoreRuntime)
   at System.Workflow.Runtime.Scheduler.Run()
This makes it seem like I do need to move ALL the files to the install directory, but maybe now the workflow just doesn't like my code?
Thanks!
Marnie

SPD workflow fails to start

I have list based on custom content types. Created very simple workflow which just logs to the history. when I start the workflow I received this error message in the logs.

Why do the project server custom workflow not getting a start?

Hi
I created a custom workflow for project server using visual studio 2012 and the workflow worked fine in all environments. Recently we had a new environment in which Autosp Installer was run. I
deployed my workflow in the new Environment and the workflow is not at all starting.It throws out an error which i posted below.I surfed through net and found that most of the people getting this error would have an exception. In my case I dont have any exception
and the workflow fails to start.

it would be difficult to say what may have gone wrong, but as the error message suggests check the ULS log with the correlation Id and that should give you more details

ORABPEL-10516 - Beehive Custom Workflow Tutorial

Hi all,
I am (still) trying to set up the Beehive custom workflow tutorial.
The BPEL process fails:
Faulted while invoking operation "initiateTask" on provider "TaskService"
ORABPEL-10516
Identity Service cannot find user.
Error occurs while getting user "b" in realm "jazn.com"
Verify that user "b" exits in realm "jazn.com". Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.
Has anyone encountered this problem and come up with a solution?
Regards,

For documentation: We got rid of this problem after upgrading to beehive 2.0.1.2

Auto-hostep app with custom master page does not allow custom workflows

This has been troubling us all day. We have a sharepoint 2013 auto-hosted app. We wanted to simply change the site logo of the master page but it was easier said than done. Finally we had to create our own custom master page with our own site logo to overcome
this issue.
Now we are trying to add a custom workflow in our app. But the instalment of the app always fail with this message:
3> CorrelationId: cec727fc-bbf9-4499-ae36-6a7d05f3ae8c
3> ErrorDetail: There was an error during the operation.
3> ErrorType: Configuration
3> ErrorTypeName: Configuration
3> ExceptionMessage: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
3> Source: Common
3> SourceName: Common App Deployment
After many hours of searching I came across this
post that sums up the problem to this:
Do not use the WebTemplate element in the app manifest to designate any of the built-in SharePoint site definition configurations as the app web's site type. We do not support using any of the built-in site definition configurations, other than APP#0, for app webs.
Thus, if you would like to include your workflow to SharePoint-hosted app, you have to use APP#0 template.
I am fairly new to the sharepoint 2013 app development and having so many problems just because we wanted to have a different site logo is making us focus out of the important stuff of our app. Isn't there a simple way for us to change the app's site logo
and add a custom workflow? Has anyone come up with a solution?

Have you configured SharePoint Workflow Manager in the farm? Not sure if you are familiar with but in SharePoint 2013, there's a new component called Workflow Manager that needs to be configured to use SharePoint 2013 workflow.
Thanks,
Sohel Rana
http://ranaictiu-technicalblog.blogspot.com
I am using SharePoint Online. I have enabled the following site feature:
Workflows can use app permissions
Allow workflows to read from and to write to all items in this site.
just in case but it makes no difference. When I stop using my custom masterpage the app can install just fine and the workflow is working. When the custom masterpage is enabled the app won't install with the workflow. I am required to remove the workflow
to install the app.

Custom Workflow Service Client

Workflow Failed on Start (workflow was cancelled by System Account

I have created a Workflow in SP Designer and attached to the library. It works fine in Dev but failing to run in Prod. getting the error Workflow was cancelled by System account and failed on Start.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Thanks

Hi,
What is SharePoint server’s version?
Check if the account who start the workflow has enough permission.
If you were using SharePoint server 2007, all Visual Studio workflows (including SharePoint OOB workflow and customized workflows) run as the System Account and have
full rights to everything in SharePoint Products and Technologies.
SharePoint Designer workflows, on the other hand, still run as the System Account, but they do so with their permissions trimmed down to those of the account that
initiates the workflow.
In other words, SharePoint Designer workflows always run impersonating the user who initiates the workflow.

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

Open url link in custom workflow. SharepPoint 2010

Hi, i created custom workflow in Visual studio 2010. I want my workflow opened page of the site. In workflow i using method - Process.strart("http:\\mysite\myform.aspx") try to open the page. But my workflow is completed after his the start.
Browser does not open the page i have. Can you please tell me how best to do to open up the site url in the workflow code. Thanks.

I don't think you can. Workflows run in a background thread on the server, so even if you were able to open a web page it would open on the server, not the client.

Custom Workflow using Oracle Workflow in ContentDB

Hi,
Could we use custom workflow which is made using Oracle Workflow instead of BPEL.
Regards,
Yulisar

Having registered custom workflows for Content DB via Enterprise Manager, potentially you can use any tool capable of dequeuing/enqueing messages from the IFS_BPEL_OUT/IFS_BPEL_IN advanced queues as part of a custom workflow process.
By default, we assume you are using Oracle BPEL PM with its Advanced Queue adapater to process the queue messages. However, there is nothing stopping using Oracle Workflow or any tool for that matter.
HOWEVER!!! Warning!!! There is a high probability that Content DB will drop the bundled Oracle Worflow installation in the near future. What this means, is that you should consider installing/configure/patching your own separate Oracle Workflow installation and not rely on the bundled Content DB solution which is used internally for Serial and Parallel Approval workflows.
thanks,
Matt.

How to create a Language Branch using custom workflow?

Hi,
I’ve a requirement where I need to create a workflow process which will create a Language branch. i.e I wanted to achieve the functionality using custom workflow as given in the docs: https://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/administering/multi_site_manager.html#Managing the Translation of your Language Branches
As per the OOTB functionality,
1. If the target page is not exist in the Language branch, it will copy the reference page to target path.
2. If the target page is already exists, it will not create a copy of the reference.
After the translation, if we make any changes in the reference page and activate the reference, then we have a button called 'Show side by Side' under Translation in the side kick which shows differences between reference page and translated page.
Example:
So, I would like know how we can achieve this in my custom workflow process. In my workflow process, I’m checking whether the page is existed in the target path or not. If not exist, I used page copy.
Eg: Page page = newPage.copy(originalPage,targetPath+"/"+originalPageName,null,true,true );
When I use above api, it just copies the page and it will not maintain any relation with reference page.
Any pointers would be more helpful.
Thanks
Siva

Hi,
I have a similar request to export the texts from one language and after the translation to import them to the new language, did you find any solution? My question is how can I add some steps into my workflow to validate the imported data -and if the user validate the texts then proceed with next step(in my case I import the text from a file and generate a form with values). I read the documentation from Adobe but I didn't find anything related to how we can add a workflow to a dynamically generated from(I don't use the CQ form component).
Can anybody help me with this?
Thx, Lorand
