Errored workflow activities

Hi,
We have observed that recompiling PL/SQL packages during causes workflows processes to error out. This is because the workflow engine attempts to execute function activities referencing the PL/SQL package simultaneously. Oracle error "ORA-04061: existing state of has been invalidated" is raised.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Thanks and regards,
Anu

Hello,
Make sure you do not have any invalid packaged.
Make sure you do not have any database sessions related to workflow including background engines etc running before you load your packages.
If you do, then you need to establish a fresh session. If you cannot, because of cached session etc, in the worst case, you may have to bounce the database.
Cheers,
Raja

Retry Errored Workflow Activities

Hi,
2 queries:
a)If I run the 'Retry Errored Workflow Activities' program, will it forcefully progress the stuck lines even if the reason for the error has not been taken care of? Or, will it throw another error?
b) For a configured order, if one of the lines is in error, will all the lines get stuck? I'm pretty sure they will, however, just wanted a confirmation.
thanks!

a) If the error is not taken care of, the line won't progress.
b) All lines in that configuration will remain stuck.
Hope this helps

Custom SharePoint 2013 workflow activities in site template throw error on site creation

Hi all,
I have created a number of custom activities for SharePoint 2013 Workflows and I am using them on an Office 365 environment. The custom activities are packaged as a sandbox solution and deployed on my Office 365 site. Everything works as expected.
I have now created a site with all the functionality I need, including some Site and List workflows - all of them containing my custom activities. I saved the site as a template - including content - and the process was completed successfully.
My problem is that when I try to create a site based on that template, I get the following error:
Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ActivityNotFoundException: The activity named 'WorkflowXaml_66b9230b_823e_4783_82b8_daf481237847' from scope '/spo/d42a4487-9465-4347-9f2c-a2718e92fc02/74d0f9e7-fb35-493d-86fb-ab7aa27da7e0/c2e1bf45-cf67-4e13-9755-421cf92395f8'
was not found. HTTP headers received from the server - ActivityId: 0997496a-5a15-4b83-82eb-727881eefa67. NodeId: . Scope: . Client ActivityId : c82f6e9c-9f8f-808b-7679-f2c0f92a339d. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error
After a number of trials and errors, I am certain that this relates to my custom activities. i have already tested all of the following scenarios:
Delete the workflow with the custom actions: Site is created successfully.
Create a new workflow with no custom actions and save the site as a template:
Site is created successfully.
Save the site template including a workflow with my custom activities, but not including content:
Site is created successfully, but my workflow is not there.
Create a new custom workflow activities sandbox with one custom activity that just writes something to the history list - just to make sure that this is not related to any specific solution. Save the site as a template:
Site creation throws the same error.
Packaged my workflow (with my custom activities) as a wsp from SharePoint Designer and deployed it as a custom solution. Activated the feature in the target site. The workflow gets created and executing finally. Saved the site as template: Site
creation throws the same error.
Same as above, but without activating the feature in the target site: Site created successfully, workflow works fine after I activate the feature in the new site.
My custom activities feature is always enabled in the site I save as template - in all of the above scenarios.
I have tested all of the above scenarios both on SharePoint 2013 on-premise and Office 365. There is
a forum post regarding some inconsistencies in the wsp file, but unfortunately this is not my case. Am I doing something wrong? Are custom 2013 workflow activities not supported in site templates - which would not actually make any sense, as it would "break"
the fundamental concept of re-usability.
Any ideas/feedback/guidance?
Thanx in advance

Hi,
I am facing the same issue. Kindly help me out if any of them have solved similar issue.
Your help would be appreciated.

'My Workflow Activities' channel(desktop channel)not working in E-Sourcing

My workflow activities channel is not shown in the work bench even
though it is added in column configuration.
When a legal work flow is triggered, user unable to see the curren work
items in the work bench as My workflow activities channel is not
visible in the work bench. Can anyone throw some light

Hello,
If I understand correctly the workflow approval is working fine, but the My Workflow Activities channel is not displayed on the workbench page. How did you add the channel to the workbench page? If you had added it to your workbench page, it will only show up for you. Others will not see it. In order to display the channel on all users workbench, it has to be added to the default workbench template. Also, if you have multiple workbench pages, make sure you have checked the right one where the channel was added. Are all users seeing the problem? You might want to check it is not access related. Have you checked the logs? Do you see any errors?

Workflow Activities not executing in Parallel

Hi,
I am using Oracle Workflow as a dependency management system to load a Data Warehouse.
Workflow Activities are used to execute a custom PL/SQL wrapper that kick off Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) mappings that load target tables with source system data.
This process works correctly and data is loaded into the Data Warehouse as expected.
However, when I create a Workflow with activities in parallel they are not loaded concurrently, they load sequentially instead.
ie.
START
=> ACTIVITY1 =>
=> ACTIVITY2 =>
=> ACTIVITY3 =>
AND => END
In the example above I would expect all 3 Activities to run in parallel, then wait until all 3 are completed at the AND condition.
All 3 Activities above are DEFERRED to the Background Engine.
After executing the Workflow and viewing the Workflow Public View WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_STATUSES_V, it displays all of the Activities in DEFERRED status as expected.
Workflow then proceeds to execute each Activity one at a time, instead of all 3 at once.
Any ideas how to execute all 3 Activities in Parallel?
Thanks.

Hi,
If the activities are all PL/SQL, then the Workflow Engine doesn't run anything in parallel - there is only one engine processing the activities. The theory is that it runs so quickly it will look like it's in parallel with no real effect.
So what you are getting is expected behaviour - it's just that because you have deferred it to the background engine, you have a greater opportunity to see how the engine works.

Both are developed with .NET framework, per my knowledge, the biggest difference would be the environment they applied to: one for Windows platform, one for SharePoint platform:

Custom Workflow Activities on diferente languages sites

Hello everyone,
I've developed some custom workflow activities on VS, and they are all working correctly on all sites of the default language (English).
My problem now is that I've installed another language pack (Portuguese) and created several sites with this language pack, and my custom WF activities doesn't appear in SPDesigner workflows on those sites.
Anyone knows why is this happening? and what can I do to make them available on every language pack?

Hello Eduardo,
The scope of my custom activities are WebApplication, and I can't change that because it provides multiple custom activities to several website on our sharepoint farm to already running workflows, and I want to be able to use them in any website.
The web site where I'm trying to use my custom activities was created after the installation of the language pack, and it was created on that language (Portuguese). Everything on the website is in Portuguese, even the workflow semantics on Sharepoint Designer
is in Portuguese (only for that site).
That's why I think my activities doesn't show up, because they are not available on that language pack. All default SharePoint activities appear translated to Portuguese, but mine doesn't appear at all.
Anyone?

System.Workflow.Activities.SequentialWorkflowActivity' is obsolete

Hi,
I am using Custom VS 2012 Sequential workflow (Farm solution).
I have created the sequential workflow with the fault handler. I am getting the below warning message:
'System.Workflow.Activities.SequentialWorkflowActivity' is obsolete: 'The System.Workflow.* types are deprecated. Instead, please use the new types from System.Activities.*'
What changes have to be done to avoid this warning?
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to avoid the warning when you use visual studio 2012 to create Sequential workflow.
Per my knowledge, we can’t avoid this warning. Because the SequentialWorkflowActivity Class was obsoleted in .Net Framework4.5.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.workflow.activities(v=vs.110).aspx
We need use System.Activities.* instead.

Error Workflow not assigned to business object

Hi Team,
    I am working on CRM 7.0 system
     I have a Z business object ,and I have created a new workflow and called one of the method of the z business object.
And I am trying to trigger this workflow through a action definition based on status.while creating the action definition with respect to workflow I am getting the error "assigned BOR object type is not used in any workflows" no F4 values
      I have debugged and found that the entry in the table SWDSCNTIDX is not correct.
Kindly request you to guide me how to assign workflow to business object or how can I refer the workflow what I have created in action definition.
Regards,
Poornima

Hi,
You have to go the workflow change container element of that BOR e.g. "BUS2010030" and on tab "properties" check the checkbox "IMPORT" and "MANDATORY".
Doing the above BOR will be available in the F4 help of actions profile wizard or conditions.
