Interested in Workflow Management?

Interested in Workflow Management? Check out the Workflow Coalition new publication, The Workflow Handbook 2003. Be sure to read the "Integrating Warehouse Process Flows in the Heterogeneous Environment" chapter by Warehouse Builder Product Manager Jean-Pierre Dijcks.

Mark,
Thanks for the note.
What I was looking for is the following:
Based on the action taken on a work item by the current processor of a dispute case (for eg approve/rejected) I want the system to update status & processor fields on dispute case (if Approved: Next level approver; If Rejected: Previous processor)
I can assign an event to the status field on the dispute case which will trigger an email/work item to whoever is the processor.
How do I translate the action taken on a work item to status & processor field updates?
This cannot be done in the IMG note you mentioned. No?

Error while trying to publish 2013 workflow via designer. Probably a workflow manager backend user account issue?

Hello, I am getting error while publishing the 2013 workflow via designer. Also, under sharepoint designer if I try to delete any workflow then the page just refreshes and the workflow does not get deleted.
I checked the services.msc and found that the workflow backend service was stopped. (this happened as the password of the user under which this serivce was running had changed).
So, the network admin changed the service user to LOCAL SYSTEM and started the service.
Now, the workflow backend service is started. We have run the iisreset also.
However, I am still getting the same error:-
System.IO.InvalidDataException: A response was returned that did not come from the Workflow Manager. Status code = 503:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Service Unavailable</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"></HEAD>
<BODY><h2>Service Unavailable</h2>
<hr><p>HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.</p>
</BODY></HTML>
Client ActivityId : ee94689c-4e08-b055-fe9c-268d7a94
Please find attached snapshot.
Is the error as a result of the change in service user? Can you tell me what priviledges should the account running the workflow backend service must have?
UPDATE 1:-
We have set the workflow service backend account user as farm admin and also tried to set it to site admin. The service is re-started. Now, for a new web application,
I can delete workflows. However, for existing site, I am not able to delete the existing workflows.. Also, I am not able to publish workflows (present under new and previous sites) and the error is same as described earlier.

Hi Nachiket,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error while publishing the 2013 workflow via SharePoint 2013 Designer.
As you have changed the password of this service. Please open IIS and make sure identify of the WorkflowMgmtPool is correct, you can re-type the identify. Then make this pool is started.
Open Services, find Service Bus Message Broker service and Windows Fabric Host Service. Make sure they are running. If not, firstly, start Windows Fabric Host Service, then start Service Bus Message Broker service. If Service Bus Message Broker service is
started, stop and re-start it.
Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

Configuring Workflow Manager for SharePoint 2013

I have gone through the configurations of Workflow and SharePoint to use the new Workflow Manager 1.0 several times now, and keep getting the below errors.

The error messages suggested to me that the issue was being caused by our proxy server. I have removed the proxy server from the equation by removing the proxy settings.
I then also tried to navigate to the url in the error messages. When i navigate to https://srv22.domain.com:9355/WorkflowDefaultNamespace/$STS/Windows/ i get a 400 Bad Request. When i change the address to https://srv22.domain.com:9355/WorkflowDefaultNamespace/$sts/Windows/
($sts in Lower Case rather than Upper Case) i get a response from the Workflow server.
I have searched high and low for a solution to this, and cannot find one, can anybody shed any light on the situation.
Thanks in advance
Paul

Hi Paul,
Here is a similar post with bad gateway error related to proxy and gateway settings, you can take a look.

The SharePoint 2013 farm is updated through the September 2014 PU (KB2995902). Topology: 1 App, 2 WFEs. Workflow Manager 1.0 installed to the App server. Workflow Manager 1.0 cumulative updates one
and two have not been installed. The Service Bus Gateway and Service Bus Message Broker services are started. The Workflow Manager Backend service can be started, but then quickly stops.
Thoughts? Resolution? I would be grateful for any assistance.

Hi Stephan,
As I understand, you are encountering the issue that Workflow Manager Backend service terminating each time. May I know did you run the update cmdlets after you installed the updates for SharePoint server 2013? Please confirm it per the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn133867.aspx
If you haven’t run the updates cmdlets, I suspect this is an install issue. I’d suggest you re-install workflow manager to resolve the issue:
1) Leave WFM/SB Farm
2) Uninstall updates and application in the following order and one at a time:
Service Bus CU1
Workflow Manager CU1
Service Bus 1.0
Workflow Manager 1.0
Workflow Manager Client 1.0
Microsoft Windows Fabric
3) Log into SQL server and delete Service Bus and Workflow Manager databases.
SBManagementDB
SBGatewayDB
SBMessageContainer01
WFManagementDB
WFInstanceManagementDB
WFResourceManagementDB
4) Install in the following order one at a time through Web Platforms Installer:
Workflow Manager 1.0
Service Bus 1.0 CU1
Workflow Manager 1.0 CU1

Getting Error while Installing Workflow Manager 1.0 on Sharepoint 2013 On-Prem server

I am trying to install Workflow Manager 1.0 on our SharePoint Server 2013 which is On-Prem installation. The SharePoint Server 2013 is functioning correctly. During the installation of Workflow Manager 1.0 on the same SharePoint 2013 server, I receive the
following message: "Port number 9355 specified for HTTPS Port is blocked" I have checked our firewall Inbound rules and this port is not blocked.
Any reason why this could be happening or did I miss anything?
Thanks Snehal H.Rana SharePoint Consultant

I am happy to inform you that I was able to resolve this error. I configured this on different ports other than 9355. We need to modify 2 files called "ClusterManifest.1.0.xml" and "ClusterManifest.current.xml" in c:\Program
Files\Windows Fabric\Bin. They were pointing to older FQDN under following node:
<NodeList>
<Node NodeName="yourserverfqdn" IPAddressOrFQDN="yourserverfqdn" IsSeedNode="true" NodeTypeRef="DefaultNodeType" />
</NodeList>
These files won't let you edit directly in notepad so you will need to make a copy of these files (just in case). Open up the notepad as "Run As Administrator". Drag these files to the notepad. After you are done editing, save these as original
names but make sure that the extension is .xml
You will also need to do IISReset
That did the trick for me.
Thanks Snehal H.Rana SharePoint Consultant

Can you install Workflow Manager 1.0 on Central Admin App Server Machine in 3-tier SharePoint Farm?

Hi,
I have just realised when looking at doing a Workflow that 2013 Workflows not available (you need to install Workflow Manager Farm). I understand why from a tenant installation perspective, but we are on-premise.
Can someone tell me if I can install Workflow Manager 1.0 (seen you have to now install WM 1.0 Refresh version) on the Central Admin App Server Machine in a 3 tier SharePoint farm. 3 WFE, 4 APP Servers, 1 DB Server and 1 DB Analysis Services Server.
I did test on a test farm 1WFE, 1 APP Server (with CA) and 1 Database Server. We are getting issues with the WFE Server having issues booting up or losing connection - possibly faulty network card. This may in no way be related to the install,
but just in case.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
John.

Yes, you can install WFM on any server in a SharePoint farm.

Do i need another Virtual machine rather than sharepoint server to install workflow manager ?

Hi ,
I have installed sharepoint 2013 on a single server with a built-in-database. And i have installed OWA in another virtual machine. Now i am trying to create a workflow. I have downloaded and installed sharepoint designer and workflow
manager in the sharepoint 2013 itself. Do i need to install workflow manager in another server and make it to communicate with sharepoint server ? And how to email-id in workflow when i tried in sharepoint designer we have select the user. How to allocate
e-mail id for users ?

Creating new VM is choice of your architecture. Workflow Manager only requires below.
Workflow Manager 1.0. Email ID will be automatically picked from the participants from AD.
.NET Framework 4 Platform Update 3 or .NET Framework 4.5
Service Bus 1.0
Workflow Client 1.0
PowerShell 3.0
The following additional requirements must be met before you can run Configuration Wizard to configure Workflow:
Instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server Express 2008 R2 SP1, or SQL Server 2012.
TCP/IP connections or named pipes must be configured in SQL Server.
Windows Firewall must be enabled.
Ports 12290 and 12291 must be available.

Start OWB Process Flow Schedule Job in Workflow Manager

I am trying to get the Oracle Workflow Schedule to execute my Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) Process Flow. Please note that execute Process Flow from the OWB deployment manager works fine. I did the following but nothing being executed:

Error when running workflow form list item - workflow manager SharePoint 2013

I am getting the following error in the workflow services log when I tried to run a SPD 2013 workflow from as list item. The workflow page comes up with an "An unexpected error has occurred"
page when opened:
Error processing management request.

Can't find anything on google.
Edit: Ok, when I look at the error, it is saying the the "GetInstances" stored procedure in the WFInstanceManagementDB database does not have a parameter named "@OtherWorkflowStatus".
For laughs, I added the parameter (which wasn't in there). Now I get the error:
Procedure or function 'GetInstances' expects parameter '@OtherWorkflowStatus', which was not supplied
It seems like there is something not right about my installation. Previously, I couldn't get the workflow backend service to run because there were config values missing from the workflow manager database. At the time I tried to uninstall/reinstall
WFM to no avail. I eventually had to manually add the values to get it to work. Something is not right about the WFM install/config process.

Here is what I had to do to get it working:
Leave the WFM (Workflow Manager) farm using the WFM config tool
Uninstall WFM, Service Bus, and the CU's from control panel
Uninstall Workflow Manager Client if it exists in the control panel, it didn't in mine
Delete the following databases in SQL Server:
SbGatewayDatabase
SbManagementDB
SBMessageContainer01
WFInstanceManagementDB
WFManagementDB
WFResourceManagementDB
Delete the workflow proxy service in Central Admin (important)
Application Management > Manage Service Applications
Highlight (select) the Workflow Service Application Proxy service (don’t click the hyperlink)
Select “Delete” from the ribbon.
Restart the server
Reinstall
Enable the workflow proxy service in CA for the web app, the 2013 workflow option will not show up in SPD unless you do this.
Application Management > Manage Web Applications
Select your web app
Select “Service Connections” from the ribbon
Check the Workflow Service Application Proxy item and click “OK”

Workflow Manager Configuration Wizard is not working with USER ID

Hello everyone,
I
have successfully installed Workflow Manager 1.0 (and its prerequisites) on my Server 2008 R2 SP1 machine that is hosting Sharepoint 2013. I attempt to go into the Workflow Manager Configuration. That comes up and asks me if I want to Create
new farm with Default Settings, New Farm with custom settings, or existing farm. I've tried both Default settings AND Custom settings.
            When
the configuration wizard comes up, I attempt to fill out the necessary information. It seems to connect to the SQL server without a problem. I only run into an issue when setting the USER ID. The program totally freezes up and force closes.
            I
have verified that the USERID is in the correct format and tried multiple different formats. The problem is that the moment I move the cursor from the USERID field to ANY other field, the program force closes. I'm not able to hit submit, I'm not
able to change any other options. The moment USERID is manipulated or the cursor LEAVES the USERID field, the program force closes. It won't even allow me to put in a password before it force closes.
             Customer
domain is running in Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edittion SP2.
Any
ideas?
I have installed also cumulative update to avoid crash but still I am getting force to close workflow wizard. I have used users which are already added in administrator groups.
We are using 3 tier architecture for Sharepoint 2013.
Also we have made Alias of Domain controller. Eg:-Alias is "labs" for domain "xyz.ab.com".
And we are using labs\spadmin and labs\spservice for Workflow Manager Configuration 1.0
Is there any issue with Domain Alias "labs" as Workflow gives error "Specified RunAs account is invalid" or "Force close the application".
  I
have copied the errors from event viewer below:

Check to ensure that the user you're running the wizard as has access to the Users and Computers folders in Active Directory. I had trouble with the "specified RunAs account is invalid" message, and when I granted the AD rights, I was able to proceed.
The issue would be that the user executing the wizard isn't able to query AD to look up the specified user. The RunAs account you're specifying is probably fine.

Workflow Manager Configuration - Certificate with Thumbprint does not have a private key

After following the video series on how to install and Configure Workflow Manager into SharePoint 2013 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn201724(v=office.15).aspx,
I get to the 'Configure Certificates' section in the Workflow Manager Configuration: I browse to our wildcard certificate and select it.
When I try to move to the next page of the configuration wizard, I get the following red error under the certificate:
Certificate with thumbprint LONG STRING does not have a private key.
I checked the properties of the certificate, and it says: You have a private key that corresponds to this certificate.
What am I missing??
Thank you.
macrel

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got error under the certificate.
Please make sure you configure the workflow manager correctly.

Workflow Manager and SharePoint Designer publishing error

Hello all,
I'm hoping for some help in fixing this issue.
I've been trying to publish a workflow using SharePoint Designer only to find that I get this error:
"Errors were found when compilint the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run."
After clicking on the advanced button it shows error:
System.InvalidOperationException: Operation failed with error Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowCommunicationException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId : 6a78ad9c-6ac6-f03a-0680-003bd46e5f68. ---> System.Net.WebException:
The request was aborted: The request was canceled. ---> Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The requested operation requires an HTTPS (SSL) channel.
Ensure that the target endpoint address supports SSL and try again.
Target endpoint address:
Note: the message cuts off after the "Target endpoint address".
Looking on the SharePoint server, when I try and pull up the Workflow Manager site (https://localhost:12290/) I get this response:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Code>AuthorizationError</Code><message><Message>The caller does not have the necessary
permissions required for this operation. Permissions granted: None. Required permissions: ReadScope.</Message></message></Error>
I am running this farm with HTTPS and I have registered the SP workflow service with the appropriate application. I have also set the Workflow Management Site bindings in IIS to utilize the same certificate as the default SharePoint site.
At this point, I don't know if the error that I received from Designer is related to the Site error, although I do know that I also have a Development environment that is able to publish workflows just fine. However, this farm uses HTTP rather than HTTPS
so I can only assume that the differences are what's causing the issue. I would appreciate any help that anyone can offer. Thanks!

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue when you published a workflow on SharePoint 2013 workflow platform.
I wonder does it work well before when using 2013 workflow platform? If it works before, did you install any updates or change the configuration to the workflow related settings?
If this is the first time after you installed workflow manager 2013, then I’d recommend you try re-registering workflow service per the link below and post the result:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658588(v=office.15).aspx
From the message you accessed workflow host uri, please make sure the account to wfsetup and wfservice account are both in wfadmins group.

Error 403 when accessing workflow manager page after install

Hey,
I'm in the process of setting up a new workflow manager farm for my SP2013 environment.
At the moment I'm setting up the stage WFM farm which consists of only one dedicated server (meaning not running on a SP server). My live WFM farm will be made of 3 servers.
I've followed Harbar's guide located here:
http://www.harbar.net/articles/wfm2.aspx, and all was successfull until I tried to access the workflow page on
https://myserver.domain.com:12290 and got a 403.
I've checked that the Workflow Manager Backend, Windows Fabric Host Service, Service Bus Gateway and Service Bus Broker services are running.
Get-WFFarmStatus is also showing me everything running. In IIS, app pool and site are started.
I've tried ti access https://myserver.domain.com:12290 from the WFM machine, from a SP server and from my own laptop, same issue, I always get a 403.
Would you know how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance and have a nice day

Hi Fluidetom,
From your description, my understanding is that you got 403 error when you accessed workflow manager site.
Please run IE as an administrator(right-click IE ->run as administrator) on the WFM server, compare the result.
Please run the commands to check the workflow service account:
$Farm = Get-WFfarm
$Farm.AdminGroup
Make sure the account has local access to the server.

Oracle Workflow Manager, Agent Listener, and Java Mailer problem

Hi,
I am not sure this topic to this forum, since this might be installation issue.
But I am hitting a big wall.
I had Windows 2000 SP4.
I have already installed Oracle Database 10gR1, Oracle Developer 10gR2, and Oracle Workflow 2.6.3 Standalone previously.
Including :
- Oracle Workflow Server 2.6.3
- Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6.3.5
- Apache HTTP Server 9.0.4
- Workflow Middle Tier
Anything seems to right, including the Notification Mailer and the Business Event.
And I had also made backup of them surely.
Now,
I'd like to change into Oracle Database 10gR2 because :
1. Some errors I found when I tried to call a Report from Oracle Form.
Unable to connect to Report Server ...
I thought Oracle Database 10gR1 is not suitable for Oracle Developer 10gR2.
2. And in the OWF 2.6.3 Workflow Home Page, there was no Logout button (which I found in OWF 2.6.4)
I removed my previous installation including Oracle Workflow.
After strugglineg in the installation of Oracle Database 10gR2, now I am facing another problem with Oracle Workflow.
I succesfully installed Oracle Workflow 2.6.4 Server and Oracle Workflow Manager (standalone version),
and the Oracle Workflow Middle Tier.
After I launch Oracle Workflow Configuration Assisstant, everthing seems to be normal.
I succed to open the Oracle Workflow Home Page (and found the Logout button there)
Next, I tried to navigate to the Oracle Workflow Manager.
1. I start the OC4J_Workflow_Management_Container --> initialized
2. OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container
The following error line appeared in the OC4J command prompt
06/05/26 10:31:40 LOG_ID_UNKNOWN : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.Logger.Logger(String,
int) : Logging to System.out until necessary parameters are retrieved for Logger
to be properly started.

06/05/26 10:31:40 LOG_ID_UNKNOWN : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.SvcComponentContainer.
getNewWorkflowContext() : BEGIN
06/05/26 10:31:45 LOG_ID_UNKNOWN : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.SvcComponentContainer.
loadGlobalParameters() : BEGIN
06/05/26 10:31:48 oracle.apps.fnd.wf.common.ContextFactoryException: Unable to g
et connection from data source because the following Exception occurred -> java.
sql.SQLException: ORA-28000: the account is locked
06/05/26 10:33:57 Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.1.0)
initialized
3. finally it initialized
Next I tried to go to Oracle Workflow Manager from related link of Enterprise Manager
It is said that the OWF_MGR is locked
(I surprised since I had UNLOCKED the OWF_MGR after the installation and succeed to login at the Workflow Home Page)
And the following error line appeared in the commaned prompt after that
06/05/26 10:35:03 OrionCMTConnection not closed, check your code!
06/05/26 10:35:03 Logical connection not closed, check your code!
06/05/26 10:35:03 (Use -Djdbc.connection.debug=true to find out where the leaked
connection was created)
4. I re-UNLOCK the OWF_MGR and login to Oracle Workflow Manager
I noticed that the Agent Listener and Notification Service is Unavailable
(In OWF 2.6.3, The Agent Listener was started and Notification Service was waiting to be configured)
I tried to start one of the Agent Listener, but the following error appeared
ERROR: The Service Component Container is not running
Well, I had the same problem when installing the OWF 2.6.3
I tried to uninstall (remove) and re-install it like I had done before in OWF 2.6.3
(based on someone's post in Oracle's forum)
But this time, the re-installation won't fix this problem. (It was succeed in the OWF 2.6.3)
Everytime I start the OC4J, using wfmgrstart.bat and wfsvcstart.bat
the OWF_MGR is re-LOCKED(TIME) automatically.
And the servlet (WFALSNRSVC and WFMLRSVC) are not running.
I am worry, since I cannot use the Notification Mailer if this problem had not fixed yet.
(In OWF 2.6.3, the mailer was not available until those servlet is Started)
Sorry for the long post.
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Hi,
Finally, I have found the solution.
Step :
1. Start all of the Oracle Service, except for the OC4J
If you have already started OC4J, then stop them
Unlocked the <wf_manager_user>
2. Search in your Oracle Home : data-sources.xml
There should be two files,
one is in the ...\OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container\application-deployments\WFALSNRSVCApp
the other is in ...\OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container\application-deployments\WFMLRSVCApp
3. Make sure, you create back up of them.
4. Replace the following line
password="->pwForOwfMgr"
with
password="<your_wf_manager_password>",
should be look like this
password="a"
5. Now start the OC4J using wfmgrstart.bat and wfsvcstart.bat
6. Next, login to the Oracle Workflow Manager
This worked for me.
Hope this will help someone who has the same problem.

Workflow Manager for SP2013. The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

I am *almost* all the way through provisioning my on premise SP 2013 farm for SharePoint 2013 Workflows. Workflow manager is installed alongside Service Bus. Workflow Manager client is installed on the SP servers. I built a new simple list-based
workflow in SP Designer 2013, saved it, and published it without any errors. However, when I go back to the list in my portal and try to run the workflow, I get the "Sorry, something went wrong" page, and the logs say this:

Thanks.

Go to the server running Workflow Manager and open the Event Viewer; Applications and Services Logs; Microsoft-Workflow; Operational; and look for the underlying error. In our case, the CU for Workflow Manager did something to the SQL permissions and
we ended up using the workaraound described here:
