Pairing Workflow Manager with SharePoint Online

Hi everyone,
I found
this post by Adis Jugo and I wondered if this is (or maybe is planned to be) supported in SharePoint Online?
I created custom code activity, used it in workflow (sharepoint app) and it works on SP 2013. What I want to do, if it is possible ofc, is to use the same sharepoint app in SP Online.. 
This is the tutorial which was followed to create Workflow CodeActivity..

Hi Mahesh,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you register workflow manager for SharePoint 2013.
Firstly, please check whether you install SharePoint Developer tools Preview for VS 12. If yes, please uninstall it , and restart the server, then run Register-SPWorkflowService.
If this issue still exists, go to Central Administration, and check whether the web application is connected to Workflow service application proxy.
Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

  • Send a link via email that will start a workflow on a sharepoint online list

    I am trying to send a hyperlink in an email that will start a workflow on a sharepoint online list. I am unable to use javascript because the end-user will be clicking this link on their mobile device. I have found many articles that get me almost there
    but none of them will actually start the workflow.
    here is one that is very close to what i am looking to do. http://sharepointerz.blogspot.com/2012/05/run-workflow-from-hyperlink-in.html
    Is it possible to start a workflow using a URL with out using javascript?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks 

    you can use ECMA script to Start the workflow.  However you need to redirect to a sharepoint page and there on Load you can do this. Directly from Email I don't know.
    You can use http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/607127/Using-SharePoint-Workflow-Services-JS-API

  • Authentication with SharePoint Online

    Hi
    I have a win32 C++ application which is able, using NTLM authentication, to call the different SharePoint web services (lists, copy, etc) in a local SharePoint installation. This is done by building XML SOAP requests at runtime and HTTP posting.
    This approach does not work with SharePoint Online and I was wondering if it was possible to make the existing code work without a total rewrite.
    I have experience with OAuth 2 as I have previously integrated to OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox etc. using their REST web service api.
    Is it also possible to use OAuth 2 with SharePoint Online and the web services in a similar fashion? Have refresh tokens and exchanging them for access tokens which are sent to server in post.
    I have tried playing around with it, creating an app in the Microsoft Seller Dashboard and tried using client id with OAuthAuthorize.aspx, but getting error 'The clientId 'xxx'
    is not a valid service identity.". No idea what that means.
    Am I going the wrong way and can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In order to access SharePoint Online via REST API, we can use SharePointOnlineCredentials object to pass the authentication.
    Here’s a code sample that connects to the REST API:
    var creds = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(SPO_USERNAME, StringUtilities.ToSecureString(SPO_PASSWORD));
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(SPO_URL + "/_api/web/lists");
    request.Credentials = creds;
    request.Method = "GET";
    request.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose";
    request.Headers.Add("X-FORMS_BASED_AUTH_ACCEPTED: f");
    var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
    using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
    Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());

  • SharePoint 2013 - Cannot connect or Register WorkFlow Manager with error "The data or messaging layer is unavailable. Please retry after 300 seconds"

    Hi
    I have SharePoint 2013 farm and installed Workflow Manager 1.0 and configured it and have been runing fine for several months.  I upgraded this farm to SP 1 and then started having some issue with publish WF 2013 with task in SPD.
    I re-Registered using Register-SPWorkflowService command and that fixed the problem and WorkFlow Manager running again OK. It has been couple of monthle and now I am having the problem again but with a different error on SPD
    So doing what I did before, I tried to re-Registered WFM but this time getting the error below
    Register-SPWorkflowService : The data or messaging layer is unavailable. Please retry
    after 300 seconds.
    The only possible resolution that I found is to add the -AllowOAuthHttp in my Register-SPWorkflowService cmdlet but that didnot not resolve the problem.  I tried that anyway eventhough we do not allow http.
    I did some checking for status and configuration and Get-SBFarmstatus showing all WFM services are running OK
    I browsed to the WFM server https://servername:12290  and get the same error
    - <Errorxmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    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

  • 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.

  • Install workflow manager on sharepoint 2013

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658588%28v=office.15%29
    There is service application\option in SharePoint 2013 where you can see workflow 2013.
    You can see workflow 2013 in designer which comes with Workflow manager 2013. Also you have to configure workflow manager 2013 as per below:

  • Is Office Home and Business 2013 fully compatible with Sharepoint Online (Office 365)?

    My client recently upgraded 3 Windows 7 PCs (2-32 & 1-64-bit OS) from Office 2007 32-bit (which was actually working fine against Exchange/SharePoint Online) to Office Home and Business 2013 (32-bit)
    Now, for all 3 PCs, while Office 2013 Word/Excel can open, check out/in, and save SharePoint Online files, there is ALWAYS a 2 minute delay in closing the file which is apparently waiting for the Local Security Authority call to return. This seems
    to indicate an issue related to SharePoint security on the client side.
      Problem Event Name: AppHangXProcB1
      Application Name:        
    WINWORD.EXE
      Application Version:    
    15.0.4657.1000
      Waiting on Application Name: 
    lsass.exe:lsasspirpc
    This is the Local Security Authority Security Support Provider Interface Remote Procedure Call (LSA SSPI RPC)
    My client has 66 licenses for SharePoint Online (Plan 2) and 73 Exchange Online (Plan 1) "stand alone" services. The same failure is happening on 3 Win 7 PCs. All of which I've carefully reviewed against the MS Office trouble shooting guides (start
    Windows OS w/out non-MS services, Word/Excel safe mode w/out add-ons, O365 readiness checks, Office repair, etc.). We have PCs running Win 7 (32 & 64-bit) w/Office 365 ProPlus & Office Professional Plus 2013 that work fine. it's JUST these 3 Win 7
    PCs that were upgraded from Office 2007 to Office Home and Business 2013 that have the 2 min. SharePoint file close time.
    Can you please confirm that Office Home and Business 2013 is compatible w/SharePoint Online
    at least for Excel and Word?
    The "slow close" problem can be demonstrated on multiple site collections/sub sites and w/Excel & Word docs in doc libs and lists
    After many hours capturing information, following the MS Office trouble shooting guides, and repairing the Office install, I've had no luck in resolving this.While Word/Excel will eventually close SharePoint Online files after about
    2 minutes, this is certainly unacceptable. Otherwise, locally stored files close normally and new files were created by the Office 2013 Excel/Word for this testing.
    Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.  

    Hi raygabe,
    I couldn't find the document mentioned there is any compatibility between Office365 SharePoint online and Office Home and Business 2013 version, I would recommend that you check if the issue could be reproduced on other Win7 machines installed with Office
    Home and Business 2013 installed directly instead of upgrading from Office2007, see if issue is related to Office application upgrade.
    I also recommend that you post this issue on our dedicated Office365 SharePoint online forum and Office 2013 forum for a better assistance with more experts regarding this issue from the following links.
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154.aspx

  • Call an Non-SharePoint Secured RESTful API from a Workflow in a SharePoint Online Tenant

    I have a scenario where I need to be able to make calls to a secured web service from a SharePoint 2013 workflow that will be deployed in a SharePoint Online (Office 365) environment. It is a REST web service that is secured in a 2-legged OAuth-like manner
    (the service expects a hash of the data being sent that can then be validated on the service's end of the communication). The problem is, I can't figure out how I can hash the data, since I can't run any server-side code in the SharePoint Online environment.
    The way I figured this should work is 1) user creates an item in a List on the SharePoint Site, which kicks off the workflow process. 2) the workflow process takes the user data and hashes it using a client secret assigned by the web service. 3) the
    workflow creates a web request to the web service, passing the data and the hashed values. 4) the web service processes the input and returns. 5) the workflow continues to the next step.
    I can't figure out how to implement step 2 in that process. I thought I could do a custom workflow activity that would accomplish it, but since it would pretty much have to be a code-based activity (i.e., not declarative), it can't be deployed in SharePoint
    Online, according to the domentation I've found. I could potentially add a third layer in the process and have an auto-hosted app that I could call to do the hashing of the data, but that seems to defeat the purpose somewhat from a security perspective.
    Has anyone else run into this kind of scenario? Doing this in an on-premesis environment would be easy, but that's not really an option.
    Thanks!

    You should implement this by passing the values to a public (forms based auth) web method (secure over SSL) that does the hash for you and returns the value to your workflow so that it can pass it on to the other service.

    I've been able to verify this only happens in RDP when opening a Word Template with embedded Excel table  from SharePoint Online within the local Word 2010 application.

    Amy,
    Thank you for the input.  Its rather odd, but it appears the users who are seeing this problem are connecting via RDP on laptops with widescreens, with screen resolution set much higher than the 1290x1084 we use on the terminal servers.  Turning
    the resolution down on the laptops did keep the table from becoming oversized and most of it running off edge of document.
    However, it appears even turning down the resolution of the client machine still affects how the font is displayed in the document. The font size and type are different than the template document, they get saved that way and appear that way to other users
    who do have their screen resolution set correctly.   It seems there is something else going on here, thoughts?

  • Convert Word documents to PDF with SharePoint Online 2013 - C#

    We have a client with a requirement to automatically create a PDF copy of a Word document when the Word doc hits a major version.
    I am aware there are third party apps for this, but we'd prefer to develop this ourselves.
    Word Automation Services is not available in SharePoint Online, so we do not have that option.
    We'd prefer not to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as we'd then need a client running with MS Word.
    It would seem like the CSOM Microsoft.SharePoint.Client would be able to do this somehow.  I'd imagine that's how the third party apps are accomplishing this.  However I'm not seeing specifically how to save to PDF via CSOM.
    Can anyone provide insight on how to accomplish this programatically?
    Thanks

  • Workflow Manager with OEM

    Hello,
    Having some trouble setting up Workflow. Workflow server is installed and accessible. However, when attempting to access the Workflow Manager from OEM, OEM is generating the URL using the local machine and no port number instead of the Workflow Server and port number. I suspect this is a configuration issue, but am unsure how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi all,
    Never mind. Found the solution on Metalink. However, we are now getting a different error. It is now hitting the correct server, but we are getting a 'Page Not Found' error. Any ideas?
    Matt
