Hi Expert,
I have the question about Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online vs ShrePoint On-Premise
Current Problem : Customer is implemented Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online but they have a problem some features that didn’t work in SharePoint Online. I will have a meeting to discuss Do and Don’t Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online compare SharePoint
On-Premise.
Please suggestion.
Thank you

Hi MasterBird,
There is no documentation to explain the difference of the custom form and workflow between SharePoint Online and SharePoint On-Premise. For your issue, you can have a look at the following blog:

Hi MasterBird,
For SharePoint 2013 On-premise, we can :
Comlete control of our environment and data
Supports heavy customization
Keep sensitive information in-house
Easier integration into line of business systems
Full development options for developers
For SharePoint Online workflow:
Workflow 2010 & 2013 are available with Standard and Enterprise Editions without having to install
If using Windows Azure workflow functionality is the same as 2013
Cannot create custom Visual Studio workflows
For InfoPath Form Services you will need Office 365 Enterprise Could Edition or SharePoint Online Plan 2
More information, please refer to the video:

Developer - Forms and Reports 11g?

Hi,
We have recently installed application server 11g and developers are asking me for the developer 11g software to go with the forms and reports. Looking at the oracle website they have changed things, there is no longer a Developer 11g, and I'm having trouble establishing what I need to download and install so the developers can develop forms and reports in 11g. Can someone tell me what I need to grab from the oracle site and roughly how to install it? It's all a bit new to me.
Thanks
Adam

This came up awhile back, read the entire thing and make sure you use the same versions.
Oracle 11g Developer suite installation
Note that you will need to install Weblogic Server before you can install Forms 11g.

Replicating Circulation workflow in Sharepoint Online

Hi,
I am looking at replicating the circulation workflow in SharePoint Online, but without success.
The requirement is to send a policy document to one or more employees and capture their "signature" - could be just a text field with their name printed in - when they press "I agree" button.
Idea is to make a new employee read through and capture their consent in some way.
I did research third party products like DocRead, but I am looking for something simple and within SharePoint Online.
I am not a C# programmer - greatly appreciate your help!
Regards,
E K

Only way is to achieve it using Javascript. No out of box option available
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/71014/show-users-page-document-on-first-time-login
Create list of users on site root. In list create boolean field for Policy agreement. Then you can use jQuery on checked. Code needs to be adjusted. I removed a lot from working code I use in similiar solution.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("input[id$='BooleanField']").click(function(){
if($(this).is(':checked')) {
var taskDesc = $($(this).closest('tr').children(":first")).eq(0).text();
completeSelectedTask(taskDesc);
function completeSelectedTask(taskDesc) {
var queryStr = "<Query> <Where><And><Eq> <FieldRef Name='Assignee'/> <Value Type='Text'>" + loginName + "</Value> </Eq><Eq> <FieldRef Name='Title'/> <Value Type='Text'>" + taskDesc + "</Value> </Eq></And></Where> </Query>";
$().SPServices({
operation: "GetListItems",
async: false,
listName: "SharePointCustomUserListNameHERE",
CAMLQuery: queryStr,
CAMLViewFields: "<ViewFields> <FieldRef Name='Title' /><FieldRef Name='Assignee' /><FieldRef Name='Completed' /> </ViewFields>",
completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
CompleteListItem(xData, status)
function CompleteListItem(xData, status) {
var itemId;
var itemTitle;
$(xData.responseXML).find("z\\:row").each(function () {
itemId = $(this).attr("ows_ID");
itemTitle = $(this).attr("ows_Title");
$().SPServices({
operation: "UpdateListItems",
aysnc: false,
batchCmd: "Update",
ID: itemId,
listName: "SharePointCustomUserListNameHERE",
valuepairs: [["Completed", "True"]],
completefunc: function(xData, Status) {
if (Status == 'success') {
//var msg = "The assigned task '" + itemTitle + "' has been marked as complete.";
//messageId = SP.UI.Notify.addNotification(msg, false);
else {
alert(Status +' : There was a problem adding your information to the database. Please try again or contact Internal Support at 812-468-1000.');
This should all go into site page where user list was created. You could then add javascript code to home page to check if user has task completed in list. If not then redirect to your site page mentioned above.

How instal developer (forms and reports ) on Apple Mac

I want to install oracle 6i forms and report on Apple Mac note book. how i and where i can download developer installer for MAC OS.
Thanks

Apple Mac is not a suitable platform to install oracle products. You can take a look at the Oracle Certify Matrix and you can build up your own conclusions.
In this case, use your Apple Mac for documentation, get a Microsoft Windows Based platform, and choose a certified platform.

"Invalid text value" error when calling a web service from a workflow in SharePoint Online

I'm trying to create a workflow that loops through a list in SharePoint Online using a REST web service call. However, I'm having
some trouble trying to pass the authentication token as described in the following article.
http://www.fabiangwilliams.com/2013/09/03/more-on-sharepoint-2013-r...
Basically, the workflow stops right at the "Call web service" action, and the only error it tells me is the following.
Invalid text value.
A text field contains invalid data. Please check the value and try again
Has anyone had success with web service calls to SharePoint Online?

Workflow in SharePoint Online 2013

Is is possible to have dynamic workflow in Sharepoint?
I want to create a workflow using visual studio or designer and the levels of approval in workflow will be controlled by a list. If the list contains 5 levels of approvers, workflow should be able to build 5 levels at runtime. If possible then, whether possible
in SharePoint online.
I am little new to Visual Studio workflow and office 365.
Please help.

Hi Arun,
Thanks for posting your query, Kindly browse the below mentioned URL to achieve multiple level workflow, it uses Recall function to call workflow multiple times

SharePoint Online V On-Premises

Hello community
I am looking into whether the organisation I am working at the moment should carry on with the current SharePoint environment (on prem) or to look into SharePoint Online. There are certain issues ie search, workflows, etc which have not been implemented
whereby it is fit for purpose.
I am after a comprehensive guide to the pros and cons of the two environments eg quality/frequency of updates, overheads, eg administration.
I work for an educational institute so funds are limited and we do not have any specialist SharePoint Administrators or Developers on board!
Thanks in advance!

Need help with installing Developer (Forms and Reports)

During installation the installer complains that I will need to stop any services that are trying to access Oracle Dlls. I can't seem to find what services are trying to use the dlls. The problem occurs at install stage when copying "core40.dll" and "NL80.dll". I am unable to complete the installation because of this.
It also claims that I can use a program called "oradim80.exe" to stop these services, but it does not appear to be on any of my disks.

Rave,
Thanks for the reply.
I have looked at those permissions and either set them or confirmed to myself that they were correct at least 4 times in this crusade so far.
I did find a folder named SLStore_v1 which appears to be empty. Anything there? Should the 2 folders where permissions were set have contents?
I am, currently, re-downloading PSCC. It is going very slowly. I'll see what happens when that is complete or has failed as it has times in the past.
Does the downloading need to happen when I have invoked the Root User? Or, is it the running and set up that's important there?

Design guidance: Site workflow for sharepoint online 2013 app store product

CONTEXT:
I am in the early design stage for a potential Office 365 Application Store application.
My initial target customer is small businesses with under 100 employees.
I will use a structured data store: Initial implementation should be local (lists or Access DB), but potentially scale up to an Azure database.
My assumption is that the customer would already be Office 365 (2013) E3 customers and this product would be an add on.
I like workflows because they are user-friendly: I would prefer to leverage the standard SharePoint workflows rather than reinvent the wheel, but I can implement my own workflow with a custom application if I need to.
I am OK using C#, Access, JavaScript, JQuery, HTML, SQL... whatever gives the best solution. I prefer C#.
I prefer a Visual Studio solution that I can manage in a source code repository.
QUESTIONS/GUIDANCE:
Can a standard SharePoint "Site Workflow" be part of a product delivered via an Office Application Store app?
Can a Site Workflow work with an external Azure data connection? Can it work with a local Access database?
Can I start with a SharePoint list, and easily migrate to an Azure database later?
Or should I forget the standard site workflow completely and just build a C# application?
Thanks for any guidance.

Hi,
First my question is what type of SharePoint Apps you are talking about? SharePoint Hosted, AutoHosted or Provider Hosted apps? For AutoHosted and Provider Hosted apps you have more control - as the apps will be running outside SharePoint and then you can
run yourworkflow outside SharePoint. Still your app will be able to access SharePoint data using REST API and you have full control of which technology you would like to use your app (C#, asp.net etc.). With SharePoint Hosted apps, your app will be running
inside SharePoint and you will have limited capabilities to customize - only JS will be allowed in SharePoint hosted apps. You can still use workflow but you can't use external data - unless it's configured through BCS. So my suggestion would be, if are looking
for an add-ons like solution think about non-SharePoint hosted apps. However if you are thinking of limited capabilities, then think about SharePoint hosted apps.
Thanks,

Stop and Restart Workflow on Item Edit (sharepoint online)

How can I stop running the workflow instances for the current updated list item?
I mean, how can I recognize the item that just updated and how can I stop the workflow
that access with this item? in s.p online.
thank you!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to cancel workflow in SharePoint online.
We can pass the ID of the list & list item to get all the instances, then you can enumerate each of them and find the one you want to suspend or terminate.
To pass the ID of the list and list item, you can refer to the following code snippets.
// connect to the workflow services via a CSOM client context
var clientContext = new ClientContext(siteCollectionUrl);
var workflowServicesManager = new WorkflowServicesManager(clientContext, clientContext.Web);
// connect to the instance service
var workflowInstanceService = workflowServicesManager.GetWorkflowInstanceService();
// get all instances
var workflowInstances = workflowInstanceService.EnumerateInstancesForListItem(listId, listItemId);
clientContext.Load(workflowInstances);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Then we can find the list item workflow to suspend as below.
foreach (var instance in workflowInstances)
// is this what we are looking for?
// if so, suspend it
workflowInstanceService.SuspendWorkflow(instance);
// or you can terminate it
workflowInstanceService.TerminateWorkflow(instance);

Routing documents using SharePoint Online workflows

Hello,
I am trying to design a workflow for SharePoint Online, but have run into a few problems. Basically I need the workflow to work as follows:
1. User submits a document (which is already in a Document Library in SharePoint) to a designated Supervisor for Approval
2. Supervisor receives an email that a document is ready for approval. After reviewing:
a. If Supervisor rejects, the document remains in the original folder
b. If Supervisor approves, the document is automatically moved to a new folder named "Approved" within that same Document Library
I thought there would be a template in SharePoint Online that would offer these features (i.e. the Publishing Approval workflow template I am currently trying to use), but I can't seem to enable an option to have the file automatically directed to an
Approved folder. I have been reading online for the last hour or so and this seems to be possibly using Visual Studios, but I currently do not have that application. Are there any other options available?
Please note - each user has their own "Approval" folder. So, if possible, I would need to apply this as a template to each user and specify the path of the Approval workflow for each user.
I really appreciate any suggestions or advice you could provide.

Hi,
You can create a SharePoint Designer approval workflow to achieve this requirement. In the workflow, on approval, add a step to copy the file to your target location. The following link demonstrates the use of Copy functionality in SharePoint Designer
2013.

SharePoint Online workflows show server error when link is clicked. Cannot terminate them.

This is for SharePoint Online. I have a number of workflows on a list that are in a 'suspended' state when I navigate to the workflows page for the item. When I click the link to view the workflow, I get a server error. I need to terminate these workflows.

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to terminate these workflows in SharePoint online.
You can terminate these workflows by the CSOM implementation through passing the ID of the list and list item.
You can refer to the code snippets below.
// connect to the workflow services via a CSOM client context
var clientContext = new ClientContext(siteCollectionUrl);
var workflowServicesManager = new WorkflowServicesManager(clientContext, clientContext.Web);
// connect to the instance service
var workflowInstanceService = workflowServicesManager.GetWorkflowInstanceService();
// get all instances
var workflowInstances = workflowInstanceService.EnumerateInstancesForListItem(listId, listItemId);
clientContext.Load(workflowInstances);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var instance in workflowInstances)
// is this what we are looking for?
// if so, suspend it
workflowInstanceService.SuspendWorkflow(instance);
// or you can terminate it
workflowInstanceService.TerminateWorkflow(instance);
There is a similar case:
