Hello Community!
I'm using SP 2013 Enterprise and I need to use PowerShell to deploy a reusable SharePoint Designer Workflow to the solution gallery, activate it, activate the workflow feature, and then associate the workflow to a list and or library. Has anyone done
this before and if so please provide guidance and code examples.
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.

Copy ID from one library to list using sharepoint designer workflow 2013

Hello,
I am new In SharePoint Designer workflow.
I want to copy ID [by default] from one SharePoint Library to SharePoint List by using SharePoint Designer workflow 2013.
So Please provide me any solution on it.
Thanks,
Samadhan.

Hi Bjorn,
Please create a workflow based on SharePoint 2010 platform, there is OOB action "Copy List Item" which can copy attachment to another list.
Then use "Update List Item" action to update fields value for the new item. In this action, we could use Item title to locate the newly created item. For your reference：
However, we cannot make this workflow to start automatically. As workaround, we could use SharePoint Designer to create a Custom Action in the Source List and initiate the workflow. In my test, I created a Custom Action in the type of List Item Menu. Then
the custom action would appear in the Item ellipsis dropdown menu:

When building a vacation leave holiday system using SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Designer workflows how can I add half day functionality?

Hi,
I have built a vacation leave holiday system for SharePoint Foundation 2010 using SharePoint Designer workflows and Javascript. Everything works perfectly but I'm struggling to design a solution for users to specify half day requests that span over dates
greater than 1 day, i.e. my half day solution works but only when the start and end date are the same. How would I change the user interface to allow users to choose which day they want the half day to be requested when the vacation leave holiday request is
from, say, 6th - 10th Jan 2014?
Thanks.

Hi ,
I have a test on my machine with a custom approval workflow and it can work normally .Here are the detailed steps :
1.
Open the site in SharePoint Designer .Create a workflow to associate with the document library .Set the workflow to start when an item is created and when an item is changed
.Also allow the workflow to start manually .
2.
Choose ‘Collect Data from a user’ .
3.
Click on the data and give a name to the Task created .
4.
Define the custom form field name as ‘Approve ?’ .Set the information type as Choice .
5.
Set the choices as ‘Approve’ and ’Reject’ .Display as Checkboxes .Uncheck the ‘Allow fill-in values’ and ‘Allow blank values’
.Click finish to save .
6.
Click on users and add the users who will approve the documents .
7.
Keep the output to variable as collect .
8.
Add a new step .Choose ‘If any value equals value ’ .Set the any value ‘Data source’ as workflow variables and parameters .Set the ‘Field
from source’ as Variable: collect .
9.
Set the value behind ‘equals ’ as ‘Approve’ .
10.
Add a new action ‘Update list item ’ .Set the item as current item .Add the field Approval status as Approved .
11.

SharePoint Designer Workflow 2013 Issue

Hi All,
We have an issue with the SharePoint designer workflow with the below error message.
"Something went wrong. To Try again, reload the page and then start the workflow"
suggest...
Arun Prakash

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you create a SharePoint Designer workflow.
Please do an IISRESET.
Whether the issue occurs at another site or site collection, do a test in another site or site collection, compare the results.
If the results is same, please uninstall Workflow Mananger from all servers, then reinstall it .
Note : If you are on a multi-server environment, make sure you have installed Workflow Manager client on all of your farm servers.
Here are some useful posts for you to take a look at:

SharePoint Designer Workflow - Unable to use ProjectUID in Emails

Hello Everyone,
I have a SharePoint Designer workflow running smoothly. The client now has a requirement where every email should link to the project's PDP page.
I can do this by stitching a URL together like this:
But when my workflow gets to this email, it fails with a status of Suspended (and the error below).
RequestorId: 8df1cbcb-fc04-dc9f-0000-000000000000. Details: RequestorId: 8df1cbcb-fc04-dc9f-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 403

I have even tried sending an email with nothing but the ProjectUID and it still fails with this message, so I know that this variable is the issue.
I have this issue on multiple environments and multiple servers, I cannot believe I couldn't find anyone else having this issue while researching.
Does anyone have any clue as to what is happening? Isn't this happening for you as well?

SharePoint Designer Workflow 'Failed on Start', SP Logs has WorkflowValidationFailedException, works ok when recycle IIS App Pool and restart

Hi there,
I know there are a lot of posts about "Failed to Start" errors, but I have yet to see one that describes our problem.
We have workflows built with SharePoint Designer 2007
Normally these workflows start ok and work completely
Occasionally though they will all fail to start, instead showing "Failed on Start (retrying)" in the Workflow Status and the following exception in the SP Logs:
01/16/2015 15:43:27.28 w3wp.exe (0x15D4) 0x1A00 Windows SharePoint Services Workflow Infrastructure 936l High Engine RunWorkflow: System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Compiler.WorkflowValidationFailedException: The workflow failed validation. at System.Workflow.Runtime.WorkflowDefinitionDispenser.ValidateDefinition(Activity root, Boolean isNewType, ITypeProvider typeProvider) at System.Workflow.Runtime.WorkflowDefinitionDispenser.LoadRootActivity(Type workflowType, Boolean createDefinition, Boolean initForRuntime) at System.Workflow.Runtime.WorkflowDefinitionDispenser.GetRootActivity(Type workflowType, Boolean createNew, Boolean initForRuntime) at System.Workflow.Runtime.WorkflowRuntime.InitializeExecutor(Guid instanceId, CreationContext context, WorkflowExecutor executor, WorkflowInstance workflowInstance) at System.Workflow.Runtime.WorkflowRuntime.Load(Guid key, CreationContext con...

What is strange, is that if I recycle the App Pool for the SharePoint site and then restart the workflows, they all work fine for a time. Until the next time they don't =)
The workflows must be configured ok since they do work complete at time, but I wonder if there is something with the memory usage of the app pool or something that is being re-compiled when the App Pool is recycled
The App Pool is set to recycle nightly, and when virtual memory > 1700MB or memory > 1000MB
Is anyone able to shed any light on this problem?? Or what steps I can take to debug the problem further.
Thanks in advance
Miguel Clark =)

Hi Sudip,
Thanks for the link.
The workflows in question are SharePoint Designer workflows using standard actions, so unsure exactly how to check the 'correlation tokens' and 'DLLs', plus the workflow works fine as soon as I recycle the IIS App Pool, so do not see how these could be the
problem
As to the 'lodctr' commands, we have tried these in the past, to no effect. Though may try them again next time the issue comes up just to see if it does the same thing as recycling the app pool.
My big question here is "why would it suddenly work after recycling the app pool??" I feel like it must be something memory related, since recycling the app pool releases the resources used by the IIS worker process.
Miguel =)

SharePoint Designer workflow - date display and number ;# signs.

Hi,
I have created a SharePoint Designer workflow with customized email messages sent to specified people.
I've got tow questions:
1) In the email message there are lookups for date.The date is displayed in mm/dd/yyyy format and I would like to change it into dd/mm/yyyy. Is that possible?
2) In the email messages there are lookups for a value from a list. the values are displayed with a number ; and # signs. For example 1;#PortfolioA 2;#Portfolio2. How can I eliminate the number,; and # signs and have the portfolio displayed only as
'PortfolioA"?
I will be grateful for any suggestion.
Thank you.
Jowita

Hi Jowita,
For the Date&Time column, you can create an additional column using Calculated type, and set the formula is: =TEXT([Date],"dd/mm/yyyy"), then when you design the email body in workflow, you can use the calculated column instead of the
original date column.
For the Lookup column, when you add it into the email body, you can set it returns field as “Lookup Value(as Text)”, like the screenshot:

Edit webpart properties using sharepoint designer workflow

Hi Guys,
I am not sure if there is any way to Edit properties of Excel Web Access WebPart using SharePoint Designer Workflow. I want to change workbook source of a web part on specific date.
I don't have environment to write custom code.
Thanks, Nilesh

Hi,
Per my knowledge, we can't achieve your requirement using SharePoint Designer Workflow.
We have to use custom code to achieve it. The following articles for your reference:

Using powershell to deploy provider-hosted app and specify remote Url instead of using appinv.aspx page

Hello all,
Could you possibly help me with provider-hosted app development/deployment process.
We developed SharePoint provider-hosted app that works just fine in development environment. Now we need to automate it's installation in test environment via powershell.
In AppManifest.xml that we are deploying we have key instead of explicit URL:
<App xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/2012/app/manifest" Name="ShowAllRoomsApp" ProductID="{922a18aa-5592-b59a-4da9-4791baef02e7}" Version="1.0.0.0"
SharePointMinVersion="15.0.0.0">
<Properties>
<Title>SomeTitle</Title>
<StartPage>~remoteAppUrl/Pages/Default.aspx?{StandardTokens}</StartPage>
If we use as
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj655398.aspx recommends, we cannot specify Redirect Url as we can do this on
/_layouts/appinv.aspx
So now it seems like the only way to deploy this kind of solution is using appinv.aspx page.Or must we apply this URL in AppManifest on developing stage in Visual Studio?
What did I miss?
P. S. Even if I use /_layouts/appinv.aspx after powershell commandlets, I get error.

hi,
to deploy provider hosted app you need 2 things
1. Client ID
2. Redirect URL.
What you can do you can generate app from visual studio using clientID and URL from developer enviornment.
Now a app file is just a simple compressed zip file if you rename it as .zip and extract you will find AppManifest
inside it. So to create an app for Testing enviornment what you have to to Get the CLient ID (from AppRegNew.aspx) in testing enviornment. Unzip .App file change the AppManifest with testing client ID and URL than again zip file and rename as .app.
Now if you upload this file it will work.
To automate this scenerio i have created a simple windows Application in which i Pass the Client ID and StartURl and an App File it unzips the app file make changes to app and again zip it.
public static class AppPackageHelper
public const string StartUrlExpression = "{0}?{1}";
public const string StandardToken = "{StandardTokens}";
public static string Publish(string appPath, string ClientId,string StartUrl)
string tempDir = string.Empty;
string outPutFile = string.Empty;
try
string parentDir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(appPath);
outPutFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(parentDir, ClientId + "-Winshuttle.app");
tempDir = System.IO.Path.Combine(parentDir, ClientId.ToString());
Directory.CreateDirectory(tempDir);
int lastInd = appPath.LastIndexOf('.');
string tempPath = string.Empty;
string targetFilePath = string.Empty;
string cabPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(tempDir, System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(appPath) + ".cab");
FileInfo fInfo = new FileInfo(appPath) { IsReadOnly = false };
File.Copy(appPath, cabPath);
XDocument doc = null;
string appManifest = string.Empty;
using (ZipArchive zipArch = ZipFile.Open(cabPath, ZipArchiveMode.Update))
appManifest = string.Format(@"{0}\AppManifest.xml", Directory.GetParent(cabPath).FullName);
ZipArchiveEntry manifestEntry = zipArch.Entries.LastOrDefault(e => e.Name.ToLower() == "appmanifest.xml");
manifestEntry.ExtractToFile(appManifest);
doc = XDocument.Load(appManifest);
XNamespace ns = doc.Root.GetDefaultNamespace();
string defaultUrl = string.Format(StartUrlExpression, StartUrl.TrimEnd('/'), StandardToken);
doc.Descendants(XName.Get("StartPage", ns.NamespaceName)).First().Value = defaultUrl;
doc.Descendants(XName.Get("RemoteWebApplication", ns.NamespaceName)).First().Attribute(XName.Get("ClientId")).Value = setupInfo.ClientId.ToString();
doc.Save(appManifest);
if (manifestEntry != null)
manifestEntry.Delete();
zipArch.CreateEntryFromFile(appManifest, "AppManifest.xml");
int totEnt = zipArch.Entries.Count;
for (int e = 0; e < totEnt; e++)
if (zipArch.Entries[e].Open().Length == 0)
//if (zipArch.Entries.Count > totEnt && e >= totEnt) break;
//zipArch.CreateEntry(zipArch.Entries[e].FullName);
File.Delete(appManifest);
if (File.Exists(outPutFile))
File.Delete(outPutFile);
File.Move(cabPath, outPutFile);
return outPutFile;
catch
throw;
finally
if (System.IO.Directory.Exists(tempDir))
System.IO.Directory.Delete(tempDir, true);
return outPutFile;
using System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.dll.
Also if you want to do it using powershell You need to do the same thing unzip-> changes values-> zip
So basic thing is You need to ahve only valid AppManifest file which contains 2 valid values Client Id and StartUrl
if you changes it inside appmanifest manuall than it will also work. Using above code you can create a console Application to do it. You can use powershell it just that i dont know how to zip unzip in powershell but i am pretty sure you can easily find it
on searching.
