Sharepoint 2013 workflow does not start when item is created by another workflow

Hi I am having the next problem, I have a workflow on list B that starts when a new item is created. If I created the item manually the workflow works. Now I have a list A that has a workflow that creates a new item in List B. The problem is that when
de workflow in list A creates the list item in list B the workflow does not start.
I've used an account that is collection owner, an account that only has contribute permision and nothing works.
Any ideas?

Hi Courfeyrak,
Here is another similar post with a workaround, you can try using the event receiver on listB item to start the workflow, when the listB item is created or updated by the workflow associated with listA.

Workflow does not start when PowerShell Script is run from Task Scheduler

I have a PS script that updates an item in a SP2010 list so that a workflow will be started. When I run the PS script manually from the PS window on the server it resides, the script runs flawlessly. If I set a scheduled task on the same server
to run the script with the same credentials as are being used in the PS window, the script runs, updated the info on the list, but DOES NOT start the workflow. As we know, SPD workflows cannot be started by anonymous or system accounts. It is as
if the task scheduler adds a bit of information that makes the SP2010 list think the information was updated by one of these accounts even though the field in the list for the item being updated shows the correct account.
HELP!!!

Hi,
The issue might be related to the script or schedule task settings your configured. You’d better check the settings.
For example, which option do you set to run the scheduled task? You may select “Run whether user is logged on or not” instead of “run only when user is logged on” as shown in this article:
http://blog.pointbeyond.com/2010/04/23/run-powershell-script-using-windows-server-2008-task-scheduler/
Hope it helps.

2013 workflow does not start on item created by a different worklow

hi :)
i have spd created reusable workflow 2010 on a list A creating an item in a list B.
on that list - B - there is a 2013 spd reusable workflow which is supposed to start on item created but does not.
the workflow does start manually.
and it does start when I create an item manually.
if i check a 2010 wf on the same scenario - it starts o.k.
the item "created by" is the user who triggered the workflow - not the system account.
anyone??
thanks !

The first thing I'd ask is if the workflow on list b is set to trigger when a new item is created. If this has been set correctly, I'd try running the step within Workflow A which creates the list items under an impersonation step. This subs
in the account details of the workflow author and as such should trigger workflow b.

Workflow Does not Start If Created by Another Workflow

Hi,
Hope someone can help me here.
I am using SharePoint 2013 Server and have created two workflows running on two separate lists (workflow 1 runs on list 1 and workflow 2 runs on list 2).
Workflow 1 creates an item in List 2. The workflow on list 2 does not kick off when the item is created.
I have tried both SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow and Visual Studio 2013 no code solutions (I have elevated privileges for the workflow app).
The link below is what I am experiencing, although there doesn't seem to be a solution.

I am in the process of installing the latest CUs too see if this has been rectified.
Thanks,

Hi Nigel,
Yes, this is the default SharePoint behavior that SharePoint 2013 workflow does not start when item is created by another workflow.
For a workaround, you can create a event receiver on the List 2 to start the workflow 2 when an item is created.

SharePoint Retention Policy workflow does not start

Hi,
Using Nintex workflows I have created a workflow and attached it to a content type and tested that it runs manually ok. I want it to run according to a retention policy, and so I created a policy based on one of the content type's date fields to start
my workflow automatically. When I manually run the timer jobs I see the following error in ULS logs and the workflow does not start. Interestingly if I amend the policy to do something simple like move the item to the recycle bin, that works fine.
Can anyone suggest what is wrong and where I can go from here to find the issue?
Thanks

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the Retention Policy cannot start the Nintex workflow.
To narrow the issue scope, I recommend to check the things below:
Create a SharePoint 2010 Reusable workflow for the same content type or 2013 list workflow and modify the Retention Policy to start this workflow, and then check how it works.
Create Retention Policy with the Nintex workflow in another list and then compare the results.

Victoria

I am experiencing problem (the installation does not start) when I try to install ArchiCAD 17 Educational on my mac. I am using Yosemite. How can I fix it?

I am experiencing problem (the installation does not start) when I try to install ArchiCAD 17 Educational on my mac. I am using Yosemite. How can I fix it?

You need to contact the developer/manufacturer directly to determine if their product is compatible w/Yosemite. It is not listed on their system requirement website:
Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard*
Note: ArchiCAD 17 is the last version of ArchiCAD to support Mac OS X 10.6
Only case insensitive file-system volumes are supported.

My airport does not start when pligged in

My aipport does not start when plugged in. The light does not come on at all. If there some kind of a reset switch?

With no light at all, unfortunately it is likely that an internal component in the AirPort Express has failed.
The reset switch is next to the audio jack. Try a different AC socket. With the AirPort Express plugged into power, hold in the reset button for 8-10 seconds, then release.
If successful, the AirPort Express will restart to a solid amber light for 30-35 seconds, then begin to slowly blink amber after 40-45 seconds.
If you try the reset a few times with no success, I'm afraid that the AirPort Express has failed and will need to be replaced.

Absence request workflow does not start

Hello, I have created a workflow for absence request and I configured it in transaction PTARQ for my absence type.
I tried several times making an absence request from portal but the workflow does not start. I have also seen in transaction PTARQ that the request was really made and has status SENT but has no workflow associated.
Any help?
Thanks

Hi Mário,
Check using transaction SWIA to see if the workflow is actually started by the leave creation (if not could be a problem with the event trigger)? If it is started, you should see in SWIA where the workflow stops/breaks down, normally this is due to missing container elements or bindings.
Good luck!

Hey terremo,
Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

Opmn service does not start when try to start Oracle BI Services

Hi ,
I was able to install OBIEE 11g on my laptop and it worked fine for two days. Today when I try to login to rpd and type my user name and password I get the error that my user name and password is not correct. I tried to restart the machine and now I am not able to start opmn service.
When I do Start>Oracle Business Intelligence (1)>Start BI Services, the script run and two command line windows open and about 10 minutes later get the last line that server started in RUNNING mode, but some how Oracle Process Manager (instance) service does not start. It started two days ago when I was able to login to OBIEE 11g.
If I try to go to OBIEE 11g Home page I get this error "Error 500- Internal server error from RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol- HTTP/1.1: 10.5.1 500 Internal server error
Any Idea how to fix this one.
Thanks

Maybe you need to tick the "use fully qualified names" check box and make sure that you have the schema object created (as a "folder" between the database and the tables in the physical layer).

IAS does not start when using SSL

Hello all,
I hope I hit the correct board for this question and search did find anything useful for my Problem.
We have a couple of Oracle Databases which are using IAS to serve a PL/SQL and Perl based WepApp. The Databases are 10g (10.2.0.3), and the Servers are running Novell SLES 9 x86_64 (SP 3). We need https on these Machines, so I configured the Server for SSL, created a Certificate using Wallet Manager and so on, exactly as described in the Documentation.
However when I try to start the HTTP Server with "ssl-enabled" in opmn.xml to enable SSL it does not start any more. It simply cannot load the "mod_ossl.so" Library:
Logfile says:
/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/http_1/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
Syntax error on line 246 of /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/http_1/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/http_1/Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_ossl.so into server: /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/http_1/Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_ossl.
so: undefined symbol: dbm_firstkey
I have googled and searched Metalink but did not find anything useful. I assume that "dbm_firstkey" refers to the GNU database routines (gdbm), but I am kinda stuck right now. Has anyone stumped upon this maybe?
Kind Regards
Maik

Two issues:
- this does not look like OracleAS, but like the HTTP Server from the database;
- you seem to be loading a 32 bit process (apache/httpd) into a 64 bit shell.
try starting it within 'linux32 bash' instead.
