LCM issues with Workflow, Task Lists, etc.

I have found several issues with migrating certain artifacts using LCM v11.1.1.3. Note that I have admin rights in all systems, and that there are no special characters involved. So...
1) Workflow: when migrating Planning Units all of them migrated, including their statuses. But not all PU comments (<annotation>) and logs (<log>) nodes migrated. It happened to almost all users - some who had 1-2 comments in the source system haven't got any in the target one, some got migrated only few (e.g. out of 5 in source, they got 3 in target). Since it happened to all users, it doesn't seem to be security. I have also checked (for those who partially failed) some other nodes, sequence, action, process state - they all seem to be OK. One curiosity I've spotted in few cases, is that in source LCM file (.xml) "priorOwner" node has the name of the user I am investigating, while in the target file (taken after the migration), for that same PU, that node is empty, actually says "null".
Any ideas why this might be happening?
2) Task Lists: when exporting TLs (in LCM) on occassion <dataForm> node in XML file would be missing for the task that actually has it attached. Again, no special characters are used, and I am admin. Then I tried to use TaskListDefUtil, and even if that list has required node, when I try to import, the task is still not attached to the form. I had to delete all TLs, then use Util files to reimport.
Anyone with similar experiences?

I had issues with tasks lists using LCM in instances where parent task name was same as child task or a task has same name planning web forms. You might also find issues with exporting webforms with business rules attached to forms where form is on plan type A and business rule is on plan type B. In this case, after LCM import, plan B business rule will lose location reference to correct plan type and get associated with web form plan type. In this case you will need to attach business rules again.

Hi,
Could you figure out why the event linkage is breaking when you make it Gen.Task? I think, there is some problem in your wflow template. May be do a Syntax Check in the testing environment. If that time, some error happens, then by the System Defaults in the Event linkage SWETYPV, it will deactivate the linkage.
I don't think this has got anything to do with you making TS as Gen.Task. Did you see the even trace to see what's the error for linkage breaking ?
More info. would help in identifying the issue.

Related Item link is broken in DispForm.aspx for a task in Workflow Tasks list if file name contains " ' " (single quote)

Description:
We have created a custom workflow in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and SharePoint 2013. This Workflow is associated with a Document library.
This Workflow starts as soon as any new item is created OR updated in Document library and creates a Task in Workflow Tasks list.
Related Item link is not working in following scenario -
Upload a file that contains “ ' “
in its name, in a document library
Navigate to Workflow Tasks list
Open View Item form (DispForm.aspx ) of Task Created by workflow then click on link in Related Item fields
OUPUT:
Related Item link truncates after “ ' “
Eg.
Original Link: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te'st.txt
Related Item Field: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te
Is this known bug in SharePoint 2013 OR any hotfix available to fix it.

Hi,
As I tested per your description, I can reproduce the issue as well.
From what I have found out, it seems SharePoint resolve single quote into different code in different place. During the test, if I set Task Name to Document Name, single quote will be resolved to ' , if I set some field to Document encoded URL, single
quote will be resolved to %27 . For now, I haven't found out any article talking about this issue.
As workaround, we may find out a way to change the Related Item field. However, it is OOB field in workflow task (SharePoint 2013) content type, and this content type cannot be modified in form.
I'd suggest you add new column to get document url and place in the form in Task content type settings.

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.

Same problem. Any solution found?

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.

Issues with Approval Task IN IDM 7.1

Hi,
I have been facing issues with Approval task.
Firstly,
I have created an Approval task with 'Mskeyvalue' and 'Mxref_mx_privilege' as attributes.
I am having a problem in the Approvers workflow UI where, we see these approvals.
It not only displays the requested privilege,but also the already provisioned privileges of the enduser to the approver.
He will not be able to recognize which privilege has been requested.
Is this an already known issue which has been sorted out in recently updated patches?
If not can you suggest me a solution for this.
Secondly,
The privilege requested by the end-user is getting provisioned to the backend,even before it is Approved.
Since Provisioning tasks are mapped through repository,privileges are getting provisioned as soon as
an entry is made into the Identity Stores.
But,Ideally the requested privilege should not be proviosioned to the backend until it is approved by the Approver.
Is this an already known isuue which has been sorted out in recently updated patches?
If not can you suggest me a solution for this.
Thanks and Regards,
Joel
Edited by: Joel Sundararajan Davis on Jul 16, 2009 11:04 AM

Joel,
I'm afraid the approval process is not quite this simple. You are correct, if you have provisioning setup on the repository for a privilege it will be assigned immediately. The approval task as you are using it works as an 'interrupt' to a process - nothing more.
There is an entry type called pending value that you would need to leverage in order to have privileges requested route for approval. This pending value object is created by default for role requests in 7.1, but I'm not sure how to create a pending value for a privilege.
Which brings to mind a question - is there a reason you want users to request privileges instead of roles? In general I think the security model is setup so that users are assigned roles which contain one or more privileges.
If you do choose to use a role instead of privilege, simply set the attribute MX_APPROVAL_TASK to the id of the approval task you want to use and the system will do the rest. The display you referenced in the first part of your question will always display the current values of the attributes you select for the user, so don't try to display the roles there - just display the user id, name, whatever else is helpful and when the approver clicks on the user id they will get the approval details which will include the requested role.
Also, please note that if you would like to assign a role directly anywhere (bypass approvals) you can use the switch: {direct_reference=1}

Unable to sync with SharePoint task list

Unable to sync with SharePoint task list

Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Director

Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Directory, can anyone help me with this!

Hi Jason,
Try this:
1. In Ultiboard select Tools>>Netlist Editor>>Pins, press the Delete button
2. Select all nets in the Select the Net to Delete dialog and then press the Delete button. This will clear all nets in the layout, don't worry all traces, parts are still on the design.
3. Go to Multisim and select Transfer>>Forward annotate to Ultiboard. This will add all nets that you removed back and it should fix the pin problem

Issue with the Task TS17900100 in HCM p & f - Transaction brackets damaged

Hi Experts,
We have a custom HCM processes & forms which updates the backend INFTY as the result of execution of Step Process Forms - with the Workflow Task TS17900100
This works absolutely fine in the DEV System. But when I transported the workflow in the QA environment it worked fine for the first time.
Ever since then we are getting follow issue -
The backend INFTY does not get updated.
On further checkin in SWIA we found that step with the task TS17900100 ( Process Form ) fails and throws the following error
1.Transaction brackets of the workflow has been damaged
2.Exit CL_HRASR00_POBJ_WF_EXIT triggered exeception for event STATE_CHG and (target) status STARTED
3.Error updating the process object
Would appreciate if I can get any help in this regards.
Thanks in advance!!
Regards,
Akshay..

Hello,
Make sure the wf is active in QA (re-activate if possible), check the transport for errors, check authorizations for WF-BATCH perhaps delete and recreate via SWU3?), refresh the buffers (SWU_OBUF).
Please let me know if any of this helps.

Output variable: JSonRequestHeader.
I called HTTP web service:

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

Tasks re-sorting in the MPP file when synching with SharePoint task list

Hi,
The resource is created as a new resource with no security group and no loggin account, meaning it is strictly a resource and not a user. So this resource can be assigned on others projects but cannot connect to PS in any way (thus does not consume a CAL)
unless you convert it into a user by adding a valid account and a security group.
Hope this helps,

Ovi Suite/N97 Issues with recurring tasks

Hi
I have finally managed to get my N97 to work with Ovi Suite (v 2.0.1.35) but am having some very annoying issues when it comes to syncing calendar & tasks (personally I wish I could just sync the calendar and not the tasks...).
I have several recurring tasks in Outlook. They feature in my task list on Outlook as just one task with the recurring symbol next to them. Whenever I sync my N97 for some reason, on both the N97 and Outlook the recurring tasks disappear and are replaced by a years worth of the recurring task. This means that both my N97 & Outlook task lists are suddenly overflowing and impossible to manage.
Has anyone else experienced this & is there a way round this, or a way to simply sync calendar and not tasks??
Thanks
Nick

Just tried editing my previous post and forum wouldn't let me.
Anyhow, I just discovered that Ovi suite didn't mark my tasks as complete - it deleted them. It also deleted quite a large chunk of my completed tasks as well. I have absolutely no idea why it would have done this, but to say it's very frustrating is a massive understatement, I'm now having to rebuild my task list from memory.
Never had any of these issues with PC Suite....
P.S - In my Ovi suite options I have conflict resolution set to Outlook not Device...

Issue with Workflow in a SharePoint-hosted App Application

Hi,
I have created a Sharepoint-hosted app which has a list workflow in it. After I deploy it to the sharepoint server, I can not find any workflow under the associated list.
However, I did have target list associated with workflow in workflow project property.
(My app and worflow is developed in VS 2012)
I have searched the forum and found some similar question. However, all of them don't have useful answers.....
Can anyone give me some help~?

Hi Baron123,
I can reproduce your scenario, that create an app with list, and add a workflow associates with it, the workflow is not working, that seems doesn’t associates successfully.
Before I can tell why this happens, I found a helpful blog about keeping the list definitions and workflow definitions separate, use Handle APP installed event receiver to wire up a workflow to lists in app web or host web.
As it is not a good solution to deploy the list and workflow in the same app solution, because that if you redeploy the app the date will be lost, the list will be new created, so I would suggest you to reference the blog, check whether this can meet your
requirement.

Flex Table Add Row Issue with Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer

All,
Your help would be kindly appreciated in resolving an 'Add Row'-issue within a Flex Table that uses Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer. The issue here is as follows :
When I use a [Local Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=O5hrG2aMxWZ84Mu1211193041]to populate a row field, the initial row and all next rows are emptied upon 'insert row', they loose their selected values and also the entry list values ('pull-down menus') are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
The initial row does [show the entry list values |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=2HybmEHAuQYs9cg1211192766]from the Local Dynamic Entry List based on the dynamically assigned input value; upon 'insert row' the entry lists are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
When using a [Global Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=m5p2KYuBb442dTq1211193501]to populate the row fields the Flex-table behaves normally as expected. Unfortunately with a Global Entry List it is not possible to dynamically assign a input value. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=U96V0zENCCyO3gA1211193157].
Please also see the [issue summary image|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=06xti08tIEfely1211195178] I made to visualize the issue. What I basically would like to know is whether this is a 'known issue' or not, or that it is an issue that can be fixed or whether there is an alternative workaround available ... I'm using Visual Composer 7.0 and the Portal is at SP 13.
Many thanks,
Freek

Hi,
you should be able to assign a dynamic value with global entry lists as well. If you say @myParam as dynamic value. VC will indicate in red letters, that the field @myParam is unknown. However, it will work, as long as @myParam is known in the form or table where you use the entry list.
I have never heard of the problem that entry lists are emptied after "insert"-event.
