SP 2013 Workflow on On-Prem Issues
Hi,
I need to develop a workflow using visual studio since we needed to customize the task forms to a great extent and also there is bit complexity in the flow involved. So I'm developing a workflow in visual studio by leveraging share point hosted
app. But the Problem is that you cant deploy the workflow to the host web. It would be tedious job to have the workflow but not to configure on the host web . Since we need to create libraries and lists columns through visual studio only (This will make an
extra development effort ). Please suggest what can be done for that ?
I'm using SP 2013 On-Prem . but I'm on a Client machine with VS 2013 .
Please suggest

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the email cannot be sent in the workflow when the condition used and.
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the workflow worked fine.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Add a Log to History List step under the Send an Email action to see if the log can work.
Just use If Current Item:pStatus not equals RfEmailed in the condition to see if the email can be sent.
Change the order of the two conditions and test to see if the email can be sent.
Create a new workflow with the same steps to see fi the workflow can work.
Best regards.
Thanks

Sharepoint 2010 Workflow successful: Sharepoint 2013 Workflow UNsuccessful:
Observation 1
1. I created 2 workflows that write "completed" to the workflow history
a. 1 workflow uses sp2010 workflow manager
b. 1 workflow uses sp2013 workflow manager
2. sp2010 workflow works fine; it will start either manually or automatically (when a new item is created ) without issue; "completed' is written to the log as expected. Good.
3. sp2013 does not start automatically (when a new item is created ); when trying to start manually I get error message "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow." Which I do, but still fails.
Bad.
4.On Workflows.aspx I can see the links to start the 2 workflows manually.
a. When I hover over the sp2010 workflow link I can see something that look like this:
http://playground/sites/falcontt/_layouts/15/IniWrkflIP.aspx?List={ae95de8e-508b-4aa6-b4b6-490288e35e9f}&ID=53&ItemGuid={697E4218-D889-4FB8-A27B-D188F5D93250}&TemplateID={199c3d86-89a8-4286-b285-37e2d2067b52}&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fplayground%2Fsites%2Ffalcontt%2FLists%2FTrouble%2520Tickets%2Fall%2520requests%2Easpx
b. But when I hover over the sp2013 workflow link I can see something that look like this:
javascript:StartWorkflow4('949cb889-9b46-4959-9673-842e60cc5a42', '53', '{697E4218-D889-4FB8-A27B-D188F5D93250}')
Should this link also look similar to the sp2010 workflow link? If so, do you have any idea why it is different?
Observation 2
In Sharepoint Designer 2013, when I goto Navigation -> Workflows and click on the 2010 workflow, I see a file listed under "Forms" that looks like this "sp2010 test workflow.xsn". By the way the name of the workflow happens
to be "sp2010 test workflow".
But when I goto Navigation -> Workflows and click on the 2013 workflow, I see a NO file listed under "Forms". Should I see "sp2013 test workflow.xsn" listed there? If yes, can you think of why it is not listed there?
I saved the workflow debug logs from Event Viewer but won't share that info here unless necessary, to avoid making things look more complicated than they have to be.
Thanks for any comments suggestions, tips, questions, anything, etc.
Thanks and have a great weekend.
GeorgeHi George,
First of all, I'd like to clarify that workflow manager is dedicated for SharePoint 2013 workflow platform. SharePoint 2010 workflow is integrated in SharePoint server, while 2013 workflow is based on a new platform named workflow manager server.
In SharePoint 2013 designer, 2010 workflow has forms while 2013 workflow doesn't have forms.
For this issue, I suspect there is something incorrect with workflow manager. From the error message "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow", please flush the DNS cache via executing
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS, and restart workflow manager related services such as below, then recreate 2013 workflow to test the issue:
Service Bus Gateway
Service Bus Message Broker

Hi there,
1. Can we migrate SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows from DEV to UAT to Live without any issues? Any bad experiences?
2. When we deploy these workflows - does IIS need a restart?
Thank you.That depends, did you create reusable workflows? Those can be deployed to another environment (of course depending on dependencies within the workflow itself)
Kind regards,

Hello, I am getting error while publishing the 2013 workflow via designer. Also, under sharepoint designer if I try to delete any workflow then the page just refreshes and the workflow does not get deleted.
I checked the services.msc and found that the workflow backend service was stopped. (this happened as the password of the user under which this serivce was running had changed).
So, the network admin changed the service user to LOCAL SYSTEM and started the service.
Now, the workflow backend service is started. We have run the iisreset also.
However, I am still getting the same error:-
System.IO.InvalidDataException: A response was returned that did not come from the Workflow Manager. Status code = 503:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<hr><p>HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.</p>
</BODY></HTML>
Client ActivityId : ee94689c-4e08-b055-fe9c-268d7a94
Please find attached snapshot.
Is the error as a result of the change in service user? Can you tell me what priviledges should the account running the workflow backend service must have?
UPDATE 1:-
We have set the workflow service backend account user as farm admin and also tried to set it to site admin. The service is re-started. Now, for a new web application,
I can delete workflows. However, for existing site, I am not able to delete the existing workflows.. Also, I am not able to publish workflows (present under new and previous sites) and the error is same as described earlier.Hi Nachiket,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error while publishing the 2013 workflow via SharePoint 2013 Designer.
As you have changed the password of this service. Please open IIS and make sure identify of the WorkflowMgmtPool is correct, you can re-type the identify. Then make this pool is started.
Open Services, find Service Bus Message Broker service and Windows Fabric Host Service. Make sure they are running. If not, firstly, start Windows Fabric Host Service, then start Service Bus Message Broker service. If Service Bus Message Broker service is
started, stop and re-start it.
Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

SharePoint 2013 Workflow Permission
We are running into a problem with SharePoint 2013 and workflows.
We have the following site collection setup:
Site Collection
Subsite A
Subsite B
The following are the permissions:
[Site Collection] Owners
[Site Collection] Members
[Site Collection] Vistors
The members of these SharePoint groups are Active Directory security groups. If we put these AD groups into the SharePoint group we get the following error when trying to run a workflow:

Obviously, this is a permissions issue. I am able to resolve the issue by adding individuals to the SharePoint group 1 by 1, however, I don't want to do this. Can anyone explain why this is acting the way it is?Hi,
I am also running into this issue and am stuck in solving it.
I have a list workflow that runs on item change event, checks if a certain value is true and then should create a new list item in a list on a different site.
Site structure is the same as Hhancocks:
Site Collection
Subsite A => workflow
Subsite B => list where new item should be created
With the same HTTP REST call I can create a new item on any list of Subsite A, but as soon as I try to create the item on a list in Subsite B, I get the response Code "Unautherized" and the response:
{"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this
resource."}}}
I found the following blogs on the internet, none of which solved my issue:
http://www.sharepointviking.com/system-unauthorizedaccessexception-when-running-sharepoint-2013-workflows/
http://www.sharepointmaestra.com/Blog/Post/1/Workflow-2013-Not-Starting-on-Incoming-Email
According to this thread:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/148/p/178921/527970.aspx the REST calls don't work in SharePoint online which would explain the behaviour in one of our environments, but the error also occurs for our on prem environment. The user triggering
the workflow has full control on both subsites.
Any hints would be really appreciated. -
SPD 2013 Workflow - Create list item with people picker in other site collection
Hi all,
I read a lot of blogs and forum posts the last couple of days, but I seem to be stuck as to why my workflow is not working as expected - thus, I thought I would ask the experts :-)
Setup:
2 lists in 2 different site collections
http://svr-url/servicedesk/tickets
http://svr-url/projects/requests
SharePoint 2013 on Prem
I try to create a SPD 2013 workflow that creates a new item in list "requests" once a certain trigger is set in list "tickets". One of the fields I need to copy is the requestor = People picker field.
I did a web service call with a REST call to create a list item. All works well as long as I just stick to Title and other text fields, but filling in the "Requestor" fails with "Bad request".
I learned I need to use the "RequestorID" field and in a blog I read I need to put in the user id as Int32. So I set the parameters in the dictionary to integer. Still I get "bad request".
Another issue: as I have lists from 2 site collections, the user id differs for the same user.
/servicedesk: ID = 9
/projects: ID = 22
Additionally, the possibility exists that the user I try to set is not already existent in the /projects user information list.
How can I deal with that?check this

If I create a template on SharePoint 2013 Foundation, then create a site on SharePoint Enterprise (or Office/365) fully configured to support SharePoint 2013 workflows. When I access the site through SharePoint Designer 2013, and attempt to create a workflow
SharePoint 2013 Workflows are not available -- you get message that SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform is not available because it is not configured on the server. This appears to be a bug in SharePoint Designer as the 2013 Workflows are available on the team
site on the same site collection. There is no reason that a site created from a SharePoint 2013 foundation template should have this restriction. To make matters worse if you then save that site as a template on the SharePoint 2013 Enterprise (or
Office/365) system and create a new site from the that template you get the same issue.
Anyone know a workaround/fix to this issue. Have imported the template into Visual Studio but I can not find any way in Visual Studio to enable SharePoint 2013 workflows. A solution that involves Visual Studio import would work fine
for me.
EarllibbyApparently you did not read my question very carefully. The workflow manager is configured properly on this server and for the basic Team site in this site collection the full SharePoint 2013 workflows are available in SharePoint Designer 2013.
BUT they are not available on another site in the SAME SITE COLLECTION that was created from a solution template that was created on a SharePoint Foundation server.

Help needed Regarding Project Server - 2013 Workflow
Hi All,
I am new to Project server 2013 Workflow, hence please help me regarding this. Pardon me if this question is too trivial.
I have created a project type associated with a workflow and my workflow is as follows :
So I am not doing anything here, I am just testing the workflow as mentioned by technet site : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn458865(v=office.15).aspx
But it is mentioned that, after a minute or 2, the workflow state will change, also they have mentioned to press the Submit button.
But in my case, the workflow is not moving to next stage [It just says 'The workflow is still processing - which never changes after hours] or I am getting the submit button (Submit button is disabled on the ribbon). Below is the state of my workflow :
PS : I have made the user added to Portfolio managers group as well. But still I am having this same issue.
The Workflow manager is installed properly, and it is working fine in case of List workflow. I am facing the issue only wrt Site workflow for Project server 2013.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
shankyHi Kiran,
I am now facing issue while assigning a task to a person in the workflow.
I am having a person named say 'John' , who is included in Project Manager as well as Portfolio Manager.
And I am using a workflow as :
Stage : Conceptual
Assign a task to John (Task outcome to Variable: Outcome5 | Task ID to Variable: TaskID3 )
Transition to stage
Go to Approval
But this is again giving issue as :
Workflow Internal status : Cancelled
Details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 401 {"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access denied. You do not have
permission to perform this action or access this resource."}}}
PS : I have used the same Sharepoint admin account for 'Account Name' in ‘User Profile Sync' , Is this causing the issue? Please let me know.
Thanks,

SharePoint 2013 Workflow Calendar Entry Create Time AM PM Conflict
Windows 2012, SharePoint 2013 Enterprise.
I have a change control form that basically creates a calendar entry once it's been approved. Works well, but discovered a bug with the calendar create portion when there are events that have the same time in AM\PM.
Use case:
1. Create a change control item in the list with a planned start time of 2PM, I'll approve it, which then fires off a workflow and it will create an event in the change control calendar for 2PM, all good.
2. Create another change control item in the list with a planned start time of 2AM this time, I'll approve it, which then fires off a workflow and it will create an event in the change control calendar for 2PM and not 2AM. ???
Yes the original event entry created in the list shows planned start time of 2AM, but its being created in the calendar entry as 2PM. This only happens when the time is exact. For example if I had created the second entry at 3PM, it will create the calendar
entry at 3PM. It only happens if there is an existing entry for the same time, then all subsequent entries for the same time will have the same AM\PM depending on the first entry.
I can manually create an entry in the calendar and specify 2PM and it will take, so its something with the workflow that is causing it. The workflow is very simple all its doing is checking the item to see if the field says approved for the change request
form if so, create calendar event and carry over the fields, planned start time, planned end time, title description, that's it.
James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.comHi James,
In my test per your description, I cannot reproduce the issue, however, I attached the screenshot of my test for your reference, let me know if there is misunderstanding.
Please capture the screenshot of your workflow process design so I can try to reproduce or find out if there is action that may cause the issue.
In addition, could you please try to locate workflow error message? If there is obvious error information, please refer to the Activate Workflow Manager Logs part in the article below:

Custom SharePoint 2013 workflow activities in site template throw error on site creation
Hi all,
I have created a number of custom activities for SharePoint 2013 Workflows and I am using them on an Office 365 environment. The custom activities are packaged as a sandbox solution and deployed on my Office 365 site. Everything works as expected.
I have now created a site with all the functionality I need, including some Site and List workflows - all of them containing my custom activities. I saved the site as a template - including content - and the process was completed successfully.
My problem is that when I try to create a site based on that template, I get the following error:
Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ActivityNotFoundException: The activity named 'WorkflowXaml_66b9230b_823e_4783_82b8_daf481237847' from scope '/spo/d42a4487-9465-4347-9f2c-a2718e92fc02/74d0f9e7-fb35-493d-86fb-ab7aa27da7e0/c2e1bf45-cf67-4e13-9755-421cf92395f8'
was not found. HTTP headers received from the server - ActivityId: 0997496a-5a15-4b83-82eb-727881eefa67. NodeId: . Scope: . Client ActivityId : c82f6e9c-9f8f-808b-7679-f2c0f92a339d. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error
After a number of trials and errors, I am certain that this relates to my custom activities. i have already tested all of the following scenarios:
Delete the workflow with the custom actions: Site is created successfully.
Create a new workflow with no custom actions and save the site as a template:
Site is created successfully.
Save the site template including a workflow with my custom activities, but not including content:
Site is created successfully, but my workflow is not there.
Create a new custom workflow activities sandbox with one custom activity that just writes something to the history list - just to make sure that this is not related to any specific solution. Save the site as a template:
Site creation throws the same error.
Packaged my workflow (with my custom activities) as a wsp from SharePoint Designer and deployed it as a custom solution. Activated the feature in the target site. The workflow gets created and executing finally. Saved the site as template: Site
creation throws the same error.
Same as above, but without activating the feature in the target site: Site created successfully, workflow works fine after I activate the feature in the new site.
My custom activities feature is always enabled in the site I save as template - in all of the above scenarios.
I have tested all of the above scenarios both on SharePoint 2013 on-premise and Office 365. There is
a forum post regarding some inconsistencies in the wsp file, but unfortunately this is not my case. Am I doing something wrong? Are custom 2013 workflow activities not supported in site templates - which would not actually make any sense, as it would "break"
the fundamental concept of re-usability.
Any ideas/feedback/guidance?
Thanx in advanceHi,
I am facing the same issue. Kindly help me out if any of them have solved similar issue.
Your help would be appreciated.

SharePoint 2013 Workflow (SPD 2013) fails for Active Directory Group members
Hi
I have a SharePoint 2013 site called "Team Meetings". There are a number of lists and an InfoPath form library.
The site's SharePoint Group "Team Meeting Members" has two Active Directory groups (All Club Managers and All Club Police) as members. Those two AD groups contain all the people that I want to have access to the library and list, except for
a few additional folk who I have made individual members.
My PROBLEM:
I have created a SharePoint 2013 Workflow using SPD 2013 associated with the Form Library. Workflow is set to start on new or modified item. The first action is to write to history list, then determine the status (Submitted or Pending) of
the form and go to different Stages depending on that status.
The workflow works perfectly for any user who has been added directly to the SharePoint group (Team Meetings Members) BUT FAILS at the very first action for anyone who is a member of one of the AD groups. I know the Workflow is fine because I've tested it
with numerous people who are direct members of the SharePoint Group, but whenever a person who is a member of the AD group tries it the Workflow just fails.
Here's a print of the info from the Workflow Status page (I don't have access to server logs):
RequestorId: 4494760f-92ff-2e8c-90d2-cc7df0e6baa4. Details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 401 {"Transfer-Encoding":["chunked"],"X-SharePointHealthScore":["0"],"SPRequestGuid":["4494760f-92ff-2e8c-90d2-cc7df0e6baa4"],"request-id":["4494760f-92ff-2e8c-90d2-cc7df0e6baa4"],"X-FRAME-OPTIONS":["SAMEORIGIN"],"MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices":["15.0.0.4420"],"X-Content-Type-Options":["nosniff"],"X-MS-InvokeApp":["1;

The HTTP response content could not be read. 'Error while copying content to a stream.'. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance
instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor
Members of the SharePoint Group "Team Meetings Members" have Contribute Access to both the form library and another list that the workflow writes to as well as the Workflow History list (which in SP 2013 uses the credentials of the
user who started the workflow, unlike 2010 which used System Account).
All members of the Team Meetings Members group, whether they are individual members or part of one of the AD groups, have no problems opening and saving forms etc. It's just the Workflow that doesn't like them...
I am stumped. I've spent many hours searching for a reason for this. There are about 200 people in the two AD groups so I really don't want to have to add them all individually - especially when these groups are managed in AD for a whole bunch of other reasons
and using the AD groups means I'll basically never have to worry about modifying the SharePoint access permissions.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what I can try to fix it?
MarkHi Lars,
I'm afraid not so far but we are trying a few things today so I will post back with results.
First thing we are doing is making the AD Group universal because one of our (external provider) gurus remembers seeing something about that. He also sent me a link to a post where they were talking about earlier
versions but having similar issues and their solution was to make sure the app pool account has sufficient permissions in AD::
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/27a547da-5cc0-49d7-8056-6eb40b4c3242/failed-to-start-workflow-access-is-denied-exception-from-hresult-0x80070005-eaccessdenied
This part of that thread looks interesting but we haven't checked it yet as were trying the universal setting first:
"If the users participating in the workflows have been added to the SharePoint site via Active Directory groups, SharePoint has to update the user’s security token periodically by connecting to
the domain controller. By default, the token times out every 24 hours. But if the application pool account did not have the right permissions on the domain controller to update the user’s token, user will keep getting the access denied error. The error was
intermittent because when the user browsed to any page other than the workflow form, the token was getting updated successfully.
You can try to fix it through granting the application pool account the appropriate permission by adding the account to the group “Windows Authorization Access Group” in Active Directory."
I'll update when we try these ideas. If you have any luck please do the same.

I was not able to find any answer anywhere, so my solution was:
1. Simply upgrade SharePoint Server 2013 to the latest version which in turn updates Microsoft.Activities.Proxy.dll
2. Clear the SharePoint Designer cache

SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow Fails to open.
I've been trying for a day or so to get this 2013 workflow to open up in sharepoint designer.
Everytime I get the following error
"Field to load this workflow. To correct this problem, restart SharePoint Designer."
Then when I refresh the screen I get this error.
"Windows Workflow Foundation, part of .Net Framework 3.0, must be installed to use this feature."
I've tried logging into SharePoint Designer with different accounts, I've delete the cache
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web
Server Extensions\Cache
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\SharePoint
Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
Before for I say this workflow has been corrupted. I have a question to ask.
Would content databases needing to be upgraded after a CU cause this error?
Thanks
James T.FThe issue may not be an infrastructure one but involve problems with the structure of the workflow itself. For example, I have found that if the workflow design has a type mismatch involving variable assignments, this presents with the error above.
Does the workflow implement error control? Have the workflow designer very carefully review the workflow to find any potential problems.
Also... The problem with workflows is that they do not have a robust compiler or error handler to capture and inform you of errors involving the workflow itself. The reference below provides links to other pertinent postings on this vary issue.

401 Unauthorized Error When calling a SharePoint REST web service from SharePoint 2013 Workflow
We have our Workflow Manger installed on the same server as our SharePoint 2013 WFE development environment. When creating a SharePoint 2013 Workflow all Calls to a SharePoint 2013 REST web service results in a 401 Unauthorized error.
As an example I created a simple workflow that should return a JSON result. The REST Url returns the results in the browser without error.
Set Variable:webServiceUrl to https://<hostnamedsitecollection>/_vti_bin/client.svc/web/lists/getbytitle('ISR%20Approvers')/Items?$select=Title&$filter=Title%20eq%20%27General%27
then Build{...} Dictionary (Output to Variable:requestHeaders)
then Call [%Variable:webServiceUrl%] HTTP web service with request (ResponseContent to Variable:responseContent |ResponseHeaders to responseHeaders | ResponseStatusCode to Variable:responseCode)
The RequestHeader is set to the requestHeaders variable though the web service call properties
then Log Variable:responseCode to the workflow history list
After manually running the workflow in SharePoint on a list item in the ISR Approvers list it Logs "Unauthorized" in the Workflow History Log. It does this with every SharePoint REST web service call that I have tried through the workflow.
It doesn't have anything to do with the Workflow Manger being installed on the same machine as the SharePoint WFE does it?
Thank You for any insightHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had 401 Unauthorized Error when calling a SharePoint REST web service from SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
Please make sure you use the ‘Call HTTP Web Service’ correctly.
You can enter the URL into the brower to check whether it is correctly.
You need to
create the Request header requestHeaders
using a Dictionary:
Accept : application/json;odata=verbose
Content-Type : application/json;odata=verbose
To associate the
requestHeaders variable, select the Call action
property, set the RequestHeaders property to
requestHeaders.
Please refer to the following articles:
Working with Web Services in SharePoint 2013 Workflows using SharePoint Designer 2013

In addtion, you need to make sure you install the workflow manager correctly.

Hi All,
I am trying to create workflow for my Share Point 2013 site. To do this, I installed Share Point 2013 Designer,
then created couple of workflows in that, using "Share point 2013 Workflow" platform.
But when today, I tried to create workflow, I found that "Share point 2013 Workflow" platform option was not there. Because of that I am unable to create and deploy workflow on my SP 2013 site.
I am really not getting the problem. As I created some workflows using "Share point 2013 Workflow" platform on same share point designer and now I dont see that option in dropdown.
Please suggest me something for this. I tried all possible solution which are present on internet.
Thanks in advance.Hi,
Since you are posting the thread in SharePoint 2013 server forum, I assume you are using SharePoint server 2013.
I understand the option SharePoint 2013 platform disappears when you create a workflow in Designer, the issue might be caused by workflow manager. Please refer to the article below and check workflow configuration per the steps listed:
