  • Workflow stuck in starting state after applying SharePoint 2010 CU December 2012

    I have custom visual studio workflow which are associated with Custom content type. workflow gets triggered automatically when a file is uploaded to SharePoint. Everything was working fine till when i apply the following CU
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/joerg_sinemus/archive/2012/12/27/sharepoint-2010-and-december-2012-cu.aspx
    After applying this my workflow get stuck in "Starting" state.
    No error were logged in 14 hive logs.
    Thanks in Advance!

    It took me a while but I came up with a work around.  There is a PowerShell script below that can be used to trigger the workflow.  Hopefully this will hold all of us over until the official fix arrives.
    First remove the auto start on change or new from the affected workflow
    Edit the script below to match your environment
    Add the script to Windows task scheduler with the PowerShell.exe in the command line
    This assumes PowerShell.exe is in the path
    Then add the full path and script name in the add arguements text box
    Script:
    #The purpose of this script is to start the SPD workflow with the windows task scheduler for a trigger
    #This should avoid the check in-out issue caused by the December 2012 SP CU patch
    #This needs to be run on an account with membership in the farm administration group for SharePoint and Shell in SQL
    #You can use a find and replace to replace the server and other names with your actual names
    #There are no status messages being used since this will be a scheduled task in the Windows task scheduler
    #Add SharePoint modules and create variable space
    add-pssnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell
    start-spassignment -global
    #Open the web site, list and the workflow
    $site=get-spsite %site url%"
    $web=get-spweb %Web url%
    #Open the %affected% library or list and workflow association
    $%affected%=$web.getlist("%affected%")
    $manager=$site.workflowmanager
    $culture=[system.globalization.cultureinfo]::currentculture
    $wfname="%affected workflow name"
    $association=$%affected%.workflowassociations.getassociationbyname($wfname,$culture)
    $data=$association.associationdata
    $wfrunoption=[microsoft.sharepoint.workflow.spworkflowrunoptions]::synchronous
    #Start workflow
    foreach ($item in $%affected%.items) {
    $site.workflowmanager.startworkflow($item,$association,$data,$wfrunoption)

  • 10G installation - isql*plus service in 'starting' status after instalation

    I am installing Oracle 10G rel. 10.2.0.1.0 in a fresh formatted system on win 2003 enterp. edition. SP1.
    In the installtion at 99% stage after setup is done it throws pop-up that : "isqlplusscv : failed to start the service, Error , the operation completed successfully".
    Installation seems to have finished successfully but,I see in services.msc that isqlplus* service is in "starting" mode and i have tried all possible ways to start the service manually, setting ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID env. variables thru cmd and manually also with all sets of permutaions and combinations.But still 'OraclePSI102ISQL*Plus' service is in 'starting' status only.
    Even tried uninstalling oracle with all proper registry deletions in a proper procedure and re-installed 10G.Still at the same 99% stage it throws same pop-up, and all the above condition is same.
    Could anyone help resolving this?

    Hi Baran,
    We cannot stop the service. We ignored this and continued the installation of Central and Database instance and it was completed
    Thanks.

  • PWA issues after Office 2010 SP2 upgrade

    We recently upgraded some client machines that have Project 2010 Professional installed to Project SP2.  Several of these users also use PWA. 
    After the upgrade, I heard from a few of these users that in PWA, the Workflow Approval buttons were unavailable, and that they were unable to export to Excel.  I checked with another user who uses the same Project Server and did
    not receive the update, and he had the same issue.
    I did find kb2817580 that describes these exact issues, but the timing is suspicious with the client SP2 upgrade.  Is there something in the Project 2010 SP2 update that would cause this problem on Project Server, or does Server need to be upgraded
    concurrently with the client update?  I was not under the impression that the local Project update would affect Project Server.  Is that incorrect?

    Cwoodin, in my experience, the client doesn't make any modifications at the server.
    About the updates, i would recommend you to apply SP2 at the server as well. Besides that, take a look at the ULS logs to see if it spits any errors.

    Hi,
    If you run Get-OrganizationConfig | fl Name,objectversion in your DR-Site, what is the version number you see?
    If its not 14247, the schema has not been upgraded.
    /Hosting is not supported with SP2, so you need to leave that out.
    It might be better if you post in the forum

  • Problem with custom sharepoint designer approval workflow - check box: 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' is greyed out

    I wanted to create a simple approval workflow. Hence I opted to start from scratch rather than copy the OOTB approval WF. Using SharePoint Designer (not Visual studio) I created a reusable workflow and have added the built in 'Start approval process' action.
    It's saved and published globally.
    Everything works fine except that when associating the WF with a list the 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' check box is disabled.
    Major and minor versioning is enabled for the library.
    What am I missing here? Or do I have to start from the OOTB approval WF to get this to work?
    Regards
    Henning

    Again - new ideas pop up right after defining the issue as a problem. :-) Problem solved!
    I solved this by creating a new workflow from the original publishing approval workflow (copy and replace), but instead of tweaking the already defined approval process (WF action) I deleted it, then deleted all initiation form and local variables,
    and then added the 'Start approval process' action again. This re-installs all the necessary local variables without any initiation form involvement, which is just what I want.
    From here I can tweak the workflow to make it more user friendly, much like
    described by Bobby Chiang in his great blog.
    Remember to add action Set Workflow Variable 'EnableContentApproval' to Yes right before the Start Approval Process action, else the document's status won't be set to 'Approved' or 'Rejected' as an output of the workflow.
    Learning every day!

  • Issues after sharepoint 2010 sp2 upgrade

    Hi,
    I am using Lookupset in SSRS report to connect multiple datasets.
    =Join(Lookupset(Fields!ows_SNO.Value,Fields!Serial_No.Value,Fields!Name.Value, "Dateset1"))
    I have renamed the Title column as serial_No.
    When i am opening the report, "Name" is not populated in the report.
    Dataset Query:
    <ViewFields>
        <FieldRef Name="Title" />
        <FieldRef Name="Name" />
    </ViewFields>
    Thank you.

    Hi Selvarasu,
    Is the Serial_No field is included in the DataSet1?
    If not, then you need to change DataSet1 to the dataset where the Serial_No exists.
    And for the DataSet query, it is like the format below:
    <RSSharePointList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
      <ListName>Test2</ListName>
      <ViewFields>
        <FieldRef Name="Title" />
        <FieldRef Name="code" />
        <FieldRef Name="ID" />
      </ViewFields>
    </RSSharePointList>
    If above cannot work, could you please provide more details and screenshots about the datasets?
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Exchange Server 2010 SP2-Upgrade

    I am currently preparing my SBS 2011 for a migration to Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013 installed. On my SBS 2011 I ran the Best Practices Analyzer 1.3 and was informed to upgrade my Exchange 2010 to SP2.
    When I run the update, it checks if all requirements are met. For both the Organisation and Mailboxrole it comes up with a "warning" that for my domain, the Recipient Update Service can't be found. It mentions that new and existent users might
    not be properly Exchange activated. Nevertheless, I was able to upgrade Exchange without any errors.
    Is this warning a problem?

    OK - thanks for your reassurance.
    I have re-run "Best Practices Analyzer 1.3" and it mentions that "the most recent Update Rollup is not installed". As a resolution is says run Windows update. When I do this, no further updates are found. In the Exchange Management Console
    I see that I have Version 14.2 (Build 247.5) installed.
    Any ideas?
    P.S. I have just seen that there is an Exchange SP3 along with Update Rollup 9... should I update to this? How should I best do this - install 2010SP2RU8, then 2010SP3 and finally 2010SP3UR9?

  • Mails struck in Drafts folder after Transport Agent installed in Exchange Server 2013

    Hi all,

    After that mails are struck in drafts folder.
    I thought because of My Custom transport Agent , then i  Uninstall Transport agent.

    I restart Microsoft Exchange Transport Service and restart my server also.
    Here is the code i used
    public sealed class MyAgentFactory : RoutingAgentFactory
    public override RoutingAgent CreateAgent(SmtpServer server)
    return new MyAgent();
    public class MyAgent : RoutingAgent
    public MyAgent()

    public void MySubmittedMessageHandler(SubmittedMessageEventSource source, QueuedMessageEventArgs e)
    e.MailItem.Message.Subject = "This message passed through my agent: " + e.MailItem.Message.Subject;
    I search in google about mails struck in drafts folder, all replies are

  • MacBook pro won't start up after I tried latest upgrade, 10.7.3

    I can't get MacBook pro to start. Stuck with spinning wheel. I have tried safe mode boot and it will not even recognize. Any ideas?

    I'll assume you have backups of all your data. If that assumption is wrong, don't follow this suggestion. Boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup) and reinstall Lion. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.

  • Powermac g4 shuts down during start up after installing Leopard and upgrade

    I have a powermac g4 (agp), 1ghz, 120gig hd
    I successfully installed Leopard. After install the updater came up so I updated the files. I think they were OSX update, quicktime, itunes, and a couple of others I can't recall. I was prompted to restart for updates and when I did it will get to the white screen with the grey apple and spinning wheel then it just shuts off. I have tried to start it up several times and it does the same thing each time. I can't start with the leopard disk since I can't get the dvd drive to open without it running. I've looked at other similar posts on this subject but don't see any that are similar to mine. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi, Claire -
    I can't start with the leopard disk since I can't get the dvd drive to open without it running.
    Couple of ways to work around that -
    • Restart or boot the machine, immediately press the mouse button, keep it held down. This is a hardware command to the Mac to eject all removable media, which should open the drive tray. Insert the disk and close the tray, restart and press the C key.
    • Try restarting or booting the machine, then immediately press the Option key (ideally before or simultaneous with the startup chime), keep it held down. This should bring up Startup Manager (a vivid blue screen with a few large icons showing). Once Startup Manager has fully loaded, press Command-. (Command-PeriodKey). This should open the optical drive tray. Insert the Leopard disk and close the tray; wait a bit for the drive to spin up; then click the circular arrow icon on the left. This will cause the machine to rescan the available buses and find the Leopard disk. Once that has displayed, click it to select it and then click the straight arrow icon on the right. It should now boot to that disk.

    powermac G4 (agp/sawtooth), 1ghz....
    The fastest G4 (AGP), aka "Sawtooth", machine shipped was 500MHz. If your machine is 1GHz, then it has either had a processor upgrade, or it is a later model. It helps us to know which it actually is. These articles can help you identify it -
    Article #58418 - Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models
    Article #42739 - Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models (part 2)
    The fact that it may have an AGP graphics card does not make it a G4 (AGP), or Sawtooth, model - all G4's after the G4 (PCI) model shipped with AGP graphics cards, including the Quicksilver and MDD models.

  • Computer won't start up after 10.4.9 upgrade!

    Hello,
    I performed the upgrade to 10.4.9 on my Mac book pro, and during the installation of the upgrade the screen became blue and the computer froze. It won't start up again (I get the screen with the apple logo and the whhel just keeps turning and turning....)
    Any ideas?
    (I'm travelling and far from an Apple Centre)
    Thank you
    G.

    Hello gborsel.
    Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of some filesystem corruption that should have been fixed first, or not having installed the update properly (e.g. applications running while installing it), or having ignored Apple’s “Important: Please read before installing” warnings, etc.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update using the combo installer:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for PowerPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for Intel
    After installing the update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
    If you cannot do this by normal means, but have an external HD with Mac OS X 10.4 installed from which to boot your Mac, or have access to another Mac with Mac OS X 10.4 installed and with a FireWire port to which connect your Mac in Target Disk Mode, you may be able to fix the problem by starting up that way, verifying/repairing the disk, then reinstalling the combo update (on the disk that doesn’t boot, not on the disk from which you’re booting to do this).
    If the problem persists, you’ll have to consider doing an Archive and Install, but make sure first that all the filesystem issues, if any, have been fixed, that you have enough space available on disk, and that all your data has been backed up (which again you can do connecting your Mac in Target Disk Mode to another Mac if you cannot do it by other means).
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:

  • Can't Start Itunes after itunes 8.0 upgrade

    I just installed Itunes 8.0, and whenever I launch the app it says "windows is installing itunes 8.0"
    I dont get it. I tried it several times uninstall and reinstall, and the same thing happens. When I try to launch the program, it starts installing again, and I can never get past the installing page.
    What do i do?
    Thanks

    Sometimes the following quick fix works.
    Go to Program Files\iTunes and double click on iTunes.exe.
    Does iTunes open normally if it does, then right click on iTunes.exe and select Send to>>Desktop (create short cut).
    Hopefully this will create a short cut on your desktop that will allow you to open iTunes normally.

  • HT1349 My I Mac won't start up after a failed software upgrade?

    My computre stated that I had software updates.  I clicked the button to download and restart my computer.  A few minutes later the computer said that the downloads were unsuccessful and then froze up.  I have shut it down several times and when I restart the Apple logo appears and this little circle keeps going around and around.  I have let this go on far about 10 minutes each time but nothing happens. 
    Any ideas as to what I can do?   

    Did you use a geniune windows installation disc? I ask this because I worked on a computer today where someone had tried to use a Windows XP disc that came with a Dell computer. These do not work.
    If it was a genuine install disc, did you get all the way through with the installation, or did something go wrong during the install?
