Sharepoint 2007 Sharepoint Designer Workflow migrate to Sharepoint 2013

SharePoint 2007 sites migration to SharePoint 2013, in SP2007 I have several workflows created using SharePoint Designer. Is it possible to migrate those Workflows to SharePoint 2013? If so, is SharePoint 2013 Workflow
Manager needed to run those Workflows?
BTW, I will be using third party migration tools to migrate SP2007 content to SP2013.

Hi John
I know one third party tool which is best in migration and it migrates designer workflows also

SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) migration to SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hi
I have a requirement to migrate a SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) farm to a SharePoint Foundation 2013 farm. The WSS 3.0 farm has SQL Server 2005 Standard running so no restrictions on the size of the content database. The SharePoint Foundation 2010 and 2013 farms
will share the same SQL Server 2012 Standard instance (as I know WSS 3.0 will have to be migrated to 2010 before 2013). I also have two other WSS 3.0 farms (so three WSS 3.0 Farms, lets call these A (250GB), B (90GB) and C (60GB)) that I need to migrate
into WSS 3.0 Farm A before the migration to SP 2010.
My question is, can I migrate a 400GB WSS 3.0 site collection to SP 2010 or will I have to split this into separate site collections? I have read that there is a best practice limit of 100GB per site collection but this does not stop a larger migration from
happening. Obviously over time when the migration has completed to SharePoint Foundation 2013 the single site collection will grow and grow so perhaps now is the right time to split this out into, say, year named site collections, but surely this will incur
an end of year process to create new site collections and a custom dev headache due to different locations to send newly created sites?
Thanks.

The answer is Yes, and you are correct about the best practice of a limit of 100GB,
although, document and record centers (e.g. non collaborative) can go much higher.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office.15).aspx#ContentDB
That being what it is, your sites will perform better if you find a topology that allows the content databases to be under 100GB each. You can use Move-SPSite to accomplish that feat.
You'll want a separate instance for 2010 and a separate instance for 2013
and finally, put some quota's in place and then governance document\statement that informs users that 100 GB is the max for any given site collection that uses collaborative features (calendars, lists, workflows, etc.)
The simple path is explained on technet, go from 2007 to 2010 (you can inplace upgrade if you want) then go from 2010 to 2013, database detach and attach is only way.
please check the below link that explains more about the migration from share point 2007->2013.

Get particular item count in sharepoint list using designer Workflow

How to get specific item count in sharepoint list using designer Workflow 2013.
For Example
Title Count
x 1
y 1
x 2
x 3

HI Thiru,
Can you please elaborate your problem. Is that Title and count are your list columns you want to fetch the value of count column based on title?
If my interpretation in not wrong, then it's not possible in SPD with the case you have mentioned in your question as Title='x' is having 3 different entries and SPD activity will always return first matching item and ignore the rest with warning message.

SharePoint 2007 Export to Excel 2010 or Excel 2013 Fails to Export All Fields in All Items View

Hi All,
When I am trying to export the SharePoint View from SharePoint site to Spreadsheet (Excel 2013), I am able not able to export the the whole data, I'm missing some numerical columns from being displayed in Excel
I have Infopath form (2007) published on SharePoint Site and I am using MOSS 2007 and Excel 2013. My form has only 20 or so fields and the rest are fields I generated in the form library to do several other calculations. I have already 73 columns
displayed which should be exported to Excel, need help

Hi,
As per your post, I understand “Excel cannot connect to the SharePoint list” is thrown out in Excel 2010 when exporting the external list in SharePoint 2013. We are able to export the external list to Excel 2013.
This issue does not occur on the standard lists.
I am able to reproduce the issue and it could be a potential issue in SharePoint 2013.
We will log this issue to our suggestion box. As after the submission, we may not have any time guarantee when the fix may be released, but it may come out on next cumulative update.
Appreciate your time and efforts.
Thanks.

How to see/use Target Audience column in SharePoint Designer Workflow (SharePoint 2013 Online, Designer Workflow)

Hello,
I'm attempting to use use the Target Audiences field in a SPD 2013 workflow, in this case just attempting to log the value to history for testing purposes. This is failing saying the column does not exist.
I enabled Audience Targeting on the list then create a simple workflow to log the value to history when the item changes.
I change an item and the workflow starts, but when it gets to any action looking at "Current Item:Target Audiences" it stops and says:
HTTP BadRequest to <site url>/_api/web/lists(guid'XXXXXXXX')/Items(4)?%24select=ID%2CTarget_x0020_Audiences
The field or property 'Target_x0020_Audiences' does not exist.
But it does. It is listed in the list setting and enabled for the content type.
I ran the listed API through an API program and sure enough, Target Audience is not listed in the results object.
I'm 99% sure I've enabled this and that the field is present and the workflow is valid. I ran the same situation on two lists to ensure it wasn't a hiccup, same results.
Is this a know issue? I couldn't find anything obvious online saying you cannot see this field via workflow, most of what i found said this would work.
Thanks an advance for any input.

Thanks so much Lisa, for the clarification.
I understand what you have explained, and have seen several similar explanations that have lead to my confusion. Can you elaborate a bit, maybe for the sake of future information seekers?
I understand that audiences can be defined using the rules operations in Central Admin, but it seems another standard function is to just directly assign existing SharePoint groups. I think this is what you mean above, but this is also the point of
my misunderstanding.
In this particular setup I have only used existing SharePoint groups with no audiences defined in Central Admin. List Item A has a target audience of SharePoint group X, just that simple of a setup.
Assuming the above is valid, I would then like to see or alter the groups via SPD workflow.
Based on the following posts, I was under the impression this may be possible (but obviously not fully clear and thus I posted this):
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/5eb984ba-55a3-4da7-a904-c34b2fece84c/how-do-i-set-the-target-audience-using-sharepoint-designer-workflow
http://www.sharepoint-tips.com/2011/01/setting-target-audiences-with-code.html
(sorry about lack of links, my account must still require verification)
So in SPD, I set a simple action such as "Log Current Item:Target Audience to history" (note the I am able to select target audience in SPD like any other field with no errors). At this point I am assuming everything is valid as SPD is treating
the field like any other string field. When executed the error in the above post comes up.
So to confirm your explanation, this is not supported? Even though the field is available for selection by design, it is not capable of use and known to produce errors in all cases of its use? The first post above is 100% wrong and you cannot
use SPD to set/view the target audience field? The second post is also wrong as it seems to present the fields as available for alteration using string concatenation?
If in fact the field is present by design, but also impossible to use by design, is this potentially a bug as the field is not supposed to be available if it will always produce the error when used with no error in SPD during compile?
Thank you again for the reply and I hope we might be able to provide a rock solid answer to this for future seekers.

How to move wsp files from sharepoint 2007 to 2010 farm

Hi experts,
we have a share point 2007 farm ,which we are migrating to share point 2010 using database attach upgrade process.i had run pre upgrade checker command and fixed all the issues. now i would like to move the wsp files that are deployed in share point
2007 farm to share point 2010 farm before i attach the content database. i don't have the code for the wsp files. please provide me with approach to move these custom solutions from 2007 to 2010 farm.
thanks in advance
subhash reddy

Hi,
you need the source code or the original .wsp files.
Ther's no easy way of moving the code without the .wsp files.

Unable to edit document from SharePoint 2007 using Office 2013 and IE 11

I am getting the following error when I try to edit a document from SharePoint 2007: "Edit document
requires a Windows Sharepoint services-compatible application and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater". I am using Windows 7 with Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 11. Troubleshooting steps that I've tried so far (that haven't worked) are as follows:
1) repaired Office; 2) switched from 64 bit version of IE to 32 bit version; 3) moved the owssupp.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15; 4) tried removing old versions of Office (but
I still need to use Office Communicator 2007 r2 and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the Office14 files from Program Files); and 5) running SharePoint in IE compatibility mode. Please advise...thanks!

Hi,
It seems you installed mixed version Office2007/2010/2013 on your client machine?
I would suggest you remove all Office 2007 and 2010 version, and reinstall Office 2013(include Office Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support component) on your machine, and make sure "Open SharePointDocuments class" add-on is enabled
from IE11, then check if it could fix the issue.
If above works, please test again after installing the Office Communicator 2007 r2 on your machine.

And some times when user opens the file it opens as non editable file and it does not take any changes.
Pls advise whether there is issue with SharePoint 2007 document library and Office Excel 2010,2013 files.

Sharepoint 2007 and SQL 2008 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2 (64-bit)

Is there any documentation we can check if SQL 2008 SP3 is compatible with Sharepoint 2007 SP2 or SP3? Both Sharepoint and SQL servers are running on separate Virtual machines (Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2(64-bit)). Currently DB is running on
SQL server 2008 SP2, and we would like to have SP3 loaded on it, but want to find if there is any compatibility issue?
Thanks in advance!
mh

I'm not aware of any known issues with SQL Server 2008 SP3 and SharePoint 2007. I did a quick check and saw one person reporting an issue with their Central Admin site after applying the SQL Server update, but that's it.
With that being said, I would strongly encourage you to test out the application of that SQL Server service pack in a non-production environment well before you apply it in production. There is always a chance that your environment has something set up in
it that would cause an unexpected issue, and the best way to get an idea of whether or not an issue exists is by doing it somewhere else first before you do it in prod.

Hi Sarav,
From the error message, it seems that it needs to check out the document first to make the workflow to be executed.
I recommend to check if “Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited” is set to Yes in the Versioning settings of the library where the workflow associated.
If yes, please set it to No and then run the workflow to see if the issue still occurs.
Thanks,
Victoria

Can we have a loop in SharePoint designer workflows?

I am using Infopath2013 form along SharePoint Designer workflows. The approvers are dynamically selected based on the multiple drop down selection. In certain scenarios, there may be 10 approvers and workflow should flow everyone in sequence with approve/reject
option. If anyone rejects, the workflow stops, else workflow should reach till 10<sup>th</sup> approver.
I am using Repeating table and I am able to capture all the 10 approvers and put them in a SharePoint list as column value. But in SharePoint Designer, I am not finding way to loop the task for the number of approvers.
Is there way create a loop in SharePoint workflows?
Thanks!

Hi Ravi,
Do you use SharePoint Designer 2007?
Have you tried to use sequence approval workflow with participants in serial order?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-designer-help/understand-approval-workflows-in-sharepoint-2010-HA101857172.aspx
If you use SharePoint Designer 2013, there is an "loop" operation available you can take a look.
