Fetching Task List Id in SharePoint VS 2012 Workflow

Hi Team,
I have created a single task in Workflow. I have a custom list in which the workflow is attached.  I need to find the Task list id and Task list URL for the task created for the Approver.
How to fetch this information in Workflow for VS 2012?
Thanks

Hi Venkatzeus,
When workflow is created, there will be a SPWorkflowActivationProperties, it contains property like TaskList, TaskListID, TaskListURL,
You can use it to get the task list information.
SPWorkflowActivationProperties members:

  • How to fetch task list details?

    I want to fetch task list details against multiple task lists.
    Currently i am calling FM EAM_FM_TASKLIST_GETDETAIL in a loop.
    Since it may lead to performance issues in the case of large number of tasklists, I am looking for other options.
    Is there any other option?

    Vivek,
    If you only specify those tables you require in EAM_TASKLIST_GET_DETAIL (e.g. ET_HEADERS, ET_OPERATIONS) then the function module will run much quicker.
    I'm not sure why your Code Review Team have issues with this method - its common practice to use SAP standard function modules in this way.
    The only real way to know if the Code Review Team are correct is to try testing the report in a test/staging system (copy of production).

    With regard to your first approach that causes the java.lang.NoSuchMethodError exception, that one is probably caused by the classpath settings.
    The piece of code from the other thread works with the following classpath in JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 and SOA Suite 10.1.3.3:
    bpm-infra.jar, bpm-services.jar, orabpel-common.jar, orabpel.jar (all from the SOA Suite server), Oracle SOAP library, Oracle XML Parser v2 library, Commons Logging 1.0.3 library, JAX-RPC Client library, and the correct wf_client.config.xml, wf_config.xml, is_config.xml files.
    In that piece of code the Apache Commons logging framework is used for logging, not log4j. There are some known issues with the logging jar's included in the BPEL libraries and custom code.

  • How to get workflow task list ID?

    I created simple workflow in Office 365 SharePoint 2013 using SharePoint Designer 2013.
    The action Assign a task to user (Task outcome to Variable: Outcome |Task ID to Variable: TaskID) was used.
    The variable TaskID had a value something look like
    902aa0e9-0d58-47c0-a3ba-da96ebd47651, but I need ID from a task list.
    How to get the task list ID in SharePoint Designer Workflow?
    I am very grateful in advance for any help.

    I created dictionary and create two variables:
    Name: Accept; Type: string; Value:
     application/json;odata=verbose;
    Name: Content-Type ; Type: string; Value: application/json;odata=verbose;
    Output variable: JSonRequestHeader.
    I called HTTP web service:
    https://xxxxxx/_api/web/Lists/getbytitle('WorkflowTaskList')/items?$select=ID
    I used Count Items in Variables: JsonRequestHeader(Output to Variable: count)
    The output variable count had value equals 2.
    When I printed service url in browser it gave me xml with all the items ID in the
    WorkflowTaskList.  There were eight .
    How can I take data from web service and put them in dictionary?
    I would be grateful for any help.

  • Workflow 2013 Breaking Role Inheritance On Workflow Task list

    When breaking role inheritance on the out of the box Workflow Task List (2013), a custom workflow is suspended when assigning a task
    (System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. ).
    As soon as task list is inheriting permissions again, the workflow is able to assign tasks. (Similar issue: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8c60da76-8299-436c-8528-802fa5a594c3/2013-workflow-with-unique-permissions-on-task-list-ends-up-suspended).
    I have not found a solution to this issue so far.

  • Workflow task list is missing or damaged. SharePoint 2010

    SharePOint 2010 Enterprise
    Customer created workflows for the annual review of our QPC Emergency Plan.
    The document library  shows that there is a EP_Review workflow “In Progress” for each section.   However if you click into the “In Progress” link to see the actual progress of the workflow it shows no Visio diagram, it’s just a blank white
    space (not even an error message) and under the Tasks section it gives the message:
      "The workflow task list is missing or damaged.  Please contact your administrator for more information"
    I looked in the Task List and there are no tasks showing, which normally does show when we kick off a workflow. 
    I ran a report on the EP_Review workflow for Cancellations and Error messages and the system comes back with the following error message:  "Report contains no Data"

    Hi mikeatquestar,
    it seems you may need to check if should the task able to create at your environement,
    you may try this at your development environment first:
    Saved a task list as a template from a working site collection and moved the template to the problem site collection. Used this template to create a new list, and associated this list to the Workflows task list.

  • Create a private view for Task List in SharePoint 2013

    I have a Task List, How can I Create a Private View that every user can see Only his Tasks, and Sync it to his outlook (sync only his tasks) , no one can see or sync tasks not assigned to him?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to limit view permission on particular users in SharePoint.
    There is no out of the box way to achieve it in SharePoint.
    CodePlex has a good tool SharePoint 2013 Column & View Permission, it have some features as below, we can use it.
    Features:
    Column Permission
    - Hide or Read Only Columns in a List Forms (New/Edit/Display)
    - Hide Columns in Views
    - Hide Columns in Alert Me Emails
    - Specify the permission for Users, SharePoint Groups or Active Directory Groups
    View Permission
    - Disable Views
    - Automatically Disable Views in Custom WebPart Zones
    - Specify the permission for Users, SharePoint Groups or Active Directory Groups
    More information: https://sp2013columnpermission.codeplex.com/

  • SharePoint Provider Hosted App that can update existing SharePoint Task List

    Note: I am unable to take advantage of the Microsoft.SharePoint library directly. Adding a reference results in a 32bit/64bit library mismatch error.
    I have to find a solution that uses only the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client extension. 
    I am looking for example code where provider-hosted SharePoint App loads a SharePoint Task List View that allows users to interact with the tasks.
    So far I have only been able to programmatically create and then load the SharePoint tasks list, create and populate a DataTable object and set the datasource of a GridView object to that DataTable.
    I am unable to trigger my method linked to my checkbox within the gridview.
    Ideally I would like to just customize a Task View that already has this functionality.

    SP.Web web = clientContext.Web;
    SP.List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("General Tasks");

    Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(caml);
    clientContext.Load(items);

    If the code still not works, I suggest you debug the code or following the blog below to create a Provider-Hosted App for SharePoint and read list items from SharePoint list.

    Hi,
    To synchronize these libraries and lists, you must have Outlook 2010 installed on your client computer and you must have Collaborate permission to the library or list.

  • 2013, Resources do not synch if from MS Project to SharePoint task list

    SharePoint and Project Professional 2013.  I am synching MS Project with a SharePoint task list.  Tasks synch just fine, but I continually get the synch error "We can't synch resource 'resourcename' to the tasks list because the resource
    does not exist on the SharePoint server.  This resource, and any other resource that doesn't exist in SharePoint, will remain assigned to the tasks in your project plan.".  If I then select one of the tasks in SharePoint, add the same
    resource (same spelling), then the resource gets synched to that and all other tasks in the plan (after I choose to use the SharePoint revisions in the popup window).
    I am connected to Project Server and this happens for both a simple site synch to MS Project as well as if I use Project in visibility mode.  I am posting to this forum because if I can solve the simple synch to SharePoint resources that will solve
    both issues.  We will have lots of PMs managing lots of projects and I would like to be able to synch resources from MS Project if possible.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    I am also getting this issue, but for few resources, I observed that these resources had a special character in their email address / name in active directory.
    When I assign a resource from SharePoint it all works fine as mentioned by you.
    Even I am not able to find a solution for this.
    It would be great if anybody can guide us through this.
    Thanks.

  • "Send e-mail when ownership is assigned" SharePoint 2013 task list

    I've found that the option to "Send e-mail when ownership is assigned" isn't available in SharePoint 2013 (enterprise) task lists. I've found that this functionality is now included the 'issue tracking' list template.
    I'm unsure why this very useful feature has been removed from the task list template. I’ve tried adding the task content type to an issue list; this works fine and the notification is sent. However, the new ‘task aggregation’ feature
    in mysite only picks up items in an task list, so those items stored in issue lists get ignored. Fairly frustrating. 
    I wonder whether anyone from MS can fill me in on when this feature has been removed? 

    Here's a way to enable it by PowerShell:
    http://bernado-nguyen-hoan.com/2013/04/26/enable-email-notifications-for-tasks-list-in-sharepoint-2013/
    Although this works, are we now expected to teach users who create Tasks and want to automatically notify all involved via e-mail Powershell skills? MS really needs to take a second look at this faux pas and bring the "Send
    e-mail when ownership is assigned" option back.

  • Error occurs when I open the tasks list in MS Project Professional 2013 from SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    I have created a SharePoint 2010 workflow for a tasks list that updates a list item column if the Date Complete <= Today's date & Percentage Complete = 100%
    I used 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow & the values are updated in the list for the current item.
    However, when I open the tasks list in MS Project Professional 2013 from SharePoint 2013, then I get a error "We can't write task - taskname to the SharePoint site. This is either because tasks list is in read only mode or because this task has a column
    that requires unique value."
    If I remove the 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow, then the error does not occur. However, the 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow is required.
    Please provide solution to this issue ASAP. Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jack,
    A shot in the dark here.  I'm not convinced the error is from the workflow.  What is the definition of the list item column in SharePoint?  Have you set the column to requiring a unique vale?  Look at the column definition.

  • How to enable Gant view for migrated Task Lists in SharePoint 2013

    We recently migrated several Task type Lists from an old SharePoint environment (WSS on SP 2003) to SharePoint Enterprise 2013.  I do not see the Timeline, Calendar and Gant View options available for the migrated Views of the migrated lists like
    I see for newly created Task Lists in SP2013. Is there a way to enable this feature for these migrated Task Lists?

    Hi,
    For this issue, I'm trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at it.
    Thanks,

    If you open up the project file from within the sharepoint list and then click sync what happens?
