Cheers

How do I manually start a workflow to...

I have a list with 2000+ items in it. I create a 2013 workflow in SPD that will look at an item and if it date is less than 1/1/2013 it will create a copy of the item on a list used for archiving, then delete the existing list item.
My question is how do i manually start this workflow on the entire list (instead of selecting 1 item at a time)?
Thanks
James T.F

@Romeo
I've found to potential PowerShell scripts that could launch a list workflow from powershell, but they both throw errors for me.
# URL of the Site
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "https://sharepointsrv/site1"
$manager = $web.Site.WorkFlowManager
# Name of the list
$list = $web.Lists["Shared Documents"]
# Name of the Workflow
$assoc = $list.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName("On Item Created","en-US")
$data = $assoc.AssociationData
$items = $list.Items
foreach($item in $items)
$wf = $manager.StartWorkFlow($item,$assoc,$data,$true)
$manager.Dispose()
$web.Dispose()
this gives me the following error
Exception calling "StartWorkflow" with "4" argument(s): "Value cannot be null."

Which then gives me this error.

Issue while starting a workflow using a form submission cq5

Hi,
I have followed the below mentioned tutorial and completed it.
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/workflows/create-models.html#par_reference
Once done, I did try to start the workflow using a normal form submission, by giving workflow name in the "Start Workflow" box.
Once clicked it will send the notification to my inbox, and when I double click, the form 1 will be displayed. Once submitted form two will be displayed.
But when I submit the form 2, it thorws the below exception.
But when I start the same workflow using the sidekick, It works perfectly fine. I am guessing that the {payload}.html is not getting set when the WF is initaited by a form submission.
Could you please help with this. Thank you !

Start a workflow for a list item that was created by someone else

What settings do I need to change so that I can start a workflow for a list item created by another user?
I have a SharePoint 2013 workflow (let's call it LSR Status Workflow) that is associated with a list (called
LSR List). When a user creates an item in the LSR List, it automatically starts the
LSR Status Workflow. That is what I wanted, but sometimes I make changes to the workflow (via SharePoint designer) and then I would want to terminate the existing workflows that are running and restart them.
When I try to start a workflow for anyone other than a list item that I created, I get the following error:
Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled in less than one minute. Details of last request: HTTP NotFound to https://publishing.web.company.com/sites/mysite/_vti_bin/client.svc/web/lists/getbyid(guid'1f844b8f-19aa-4587-bcc2-dfb7085f36b5')/Items(31)

60c83aae-5c25-4ee8-9c85-c64958ba701e
Then when the workflow is finally suspended after it keeps retrying, it reports the following error:
RequestorId: 8efc5304-f0a3-90f6-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled

If I created the list item, I can stop it and restart it without any problems, but this is not the case for list items created by someone else.
What settings do I need to change so that I can start a workflow for a list item created by another user? I am the owner of the SharePoint site and am able to make changes to permissions if needed.

You don't need to re-do the fields. If you create a new version of the PDF
file just open the old one and use the Replace Pages command to insert the
pages from the new version over the old ones. This will give you a new
version of the file, with the existing form fields still in tact. Of
course, you might need to adjust their location and/or size, but at least
you won't have to start all over again...

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!

Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow

We have a SP 2013 farm with Aug 2013 CU. While trying to start an SPD 2013 platform workflow from browser I get an error "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow."
I could also see the following in ULS:
System.NotSupportedException: Not supported in Windows authentication mode.

This seems to be a bug and is solved in Mar 2013 PU but I have Aug CU. The web where I have this workflow has classic mode auth. Has anyone come across this error before?
I have checked the following:
1. Service
Bus Gateway and Service
Bus Manager Broker services are started
2. Authentication for this web application is Windows NTLM

Thank you for the steps.
I have checked User Profile service and it is started and running fine. The user who is trying to start the workflow (me) has a profile created. I'm not starting wf as system account and my account is not added to web application user policy. Workflow isn't
even firing when I try to edit list item.
I tried to edit the list item as system account and workflow started this time. But it does to suspended state with the following message:

Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow, error on starting a workflow

i have already create a custom workflow with sharepoint designer and checked for error and it seem fine. i published it on my document library so apprear the first issue : the column that contain the name of my workflow apprear and the link to start my workflow(contain
the name of my first stap) doesn't appear. the second problem is that when i tried to start the workflow manually on a specific document i get an alert : Something went wrong. To try again, reload the
page and then start the workflow
i tried : -restart service bus message broker -restart service bus gateway -recycle workflowMgntpool -flushed the dsn resolver cache and the problem still occure
on uls log viewer it seems to be an error on w3wp.exe process
the workflow history is empty

Hi Mokhtar,
For your first issue, when you publish a workflow to your document library, only after you start the workflow, then the link to go on the workflow(contain the name of the workflow stage) will appear.
For your second issue, my understanding is that you got an error when you manually start a SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.
Please go to Administrative Tools->Services, make sure the following services are started.
Workflow Manager Backend
Service Bus Message Broker
Service Bus Gateway
Windows Fabric Host Service

Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item is disabled in SharePoint Online

Hi there,
Despite turning on the require content approval for submitted items in the version setting. Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item is still disabled in the workflow settings.
Anyone one know how to enable this option.
Thanks
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Wendy,
I tried to copy and modify the Globally Reusable Workflow->Approval-SharePoint 2010 but the problem
that I am facing is, I cant seems to find the Assign a task in the Actions list and also when I am setting the approver variable to a value, I am missing a column name( how can I get a column which is used in a list?).
But “Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version” is enabled now using this workflow
but saying that I am unable to complete the workflow due to the action and column missing.
Previously the work flow that I created was for a specific list.
Is there any work around to this issue?
Thanks

Ravi

Starting a workflow from an XML file

Does anyone know if there is anyway to have a workflow poll a folder for the existence of an XML file and start a workflow with it? When looking in the documentation, there is a mention of a scheduler. I need to integrate with a fairly old system that can only read and write text files. Any help is appreciated.
Dave

Hi Dave
This is actually quite easy to achieve. We use this design pattern regularly, and it works very nicely.
Here are the steps:
* Download and deploy the DocumentImport, FolderWatch and FileCopyMove QPACs from http://www.avoka.com/avoka/qpac_library.shtml
* Create a workflow that is your "Watcher" process.
Step 1 in this will use the FolderWatch to wait for a file in the designated folder, capturing its name when it appears.
Step 2: use the FileCopyMove to move the found file to a "Processed" directory. (Click the current-date checkbox to include the current date as a sub-folder - very handy.) Moving the file ensures that it won't be reprocessed on the next iteration.
Step 3: Use the Chain QPAC (or our ChainPlus) to start the real process, passing the name of the newly moved file as a parameter. Then, have this Workflow loop back to step 1.
If you make this workflow asynchronous, then it will even survive server restarts, so no need to restart it each time. The Watcher workflow will create one "real" workflow for each file that arrives in the watched folder.
* Create the real workflow. It should have one "in" variable that is the name of the file. Step1: Use the DocumentImport QPAC to import the file into a process variable. You mention XML, so import into an XML variable. If the file is a properties file, then we also do have a properties file import QPAC. You're done, you can do the real workflow now.
If you have any problems with this, please let us know.
Regards,
Howard
PS You should periodically stop and restart the watcher process. The reason for this is that you will get a LOT of entries in the audit trail for this process instance in adminui, and stopping and restarting keeps this to manageable numbers.

How to start a workflow when a value in specific column is changed?

HI !!
I would like that my workflow will run only if a value on a specific colunm will change.
is there a way to do it without using a third colunm ?
thank you !
nikita.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to start a workflow when a value in specific column is changed.
When you create workflow, if you check the “start the workflow automatically when an item is changed”, the workflow will be started automatically once the item is edited.
In the other word, no matter which column we changed, the the workflow will be started automatically.
As a workaround, we can add condition or action to make the workflow excute the next step only if the value in specific column is changed.
There are two options to achieve it.
Use the “Wait for Field Change in Current Item" action”. If you add the action at the first, the workflow will excute the next step until the column is chaned to the specific value.
2. User the “If any value equals to value” condition. If you add the condition at the first, the workflow will excute the next step if the condition is satisfied.
Thank you for your understanding.

Retention Policy to start a Workflow not working in sub sites.

HI,
SharePoint 2010
I have created a Retention Policy on a content type.
It involves the stage to start a workflow.
I have used a reusable workflow on the content type.
The Retention Policy works on the main site collection. However the stages is show as "Invalid Retention Stage" for documents inside the sub sites.

Help me please!!!

Hi,
I understand that you failed to start workflow.
Please make sure you have created profiles for your service accounts, and make sure that the User Profile Service is associated with the "default" Application Proxy Group.
In addition, I recommend to use another account to start the workflow to check whether it caused by the account.

How to automatically start a workflow?

All,
I need to start a workflow item automatically based upon a table insert. I was hoping to use a trigger, but I could do it from within the application too.
I have a simple workflow itemtype defined in workflow builder. It has several attributes.
I found the pl/sql procedure of LaunchProcess which does
CreateProcess and StartProcess, so I guess I am to use this?
How/where do I populate the attribute values?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
You set the attribute values by using the procedures
wf_engine.SetItemAttrText
wf_engine.SetItemAttrNumber
wf_engine.SetItemAttrDate
depending on the datatype of your attribute.
You may also wish to use the procedure
wf_engine.SetItemOwner
to indicate the role that owns the item you are launching.
Thanks,
Gavin

"Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" in Project Site templates

Hi
I created a document library with the "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" on, and saved the site as a template. However when I create instances using that project site template, the document library doesn't
have the "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" option on, like the site that was used for the template have.
Is this option not possible to save on a project site template?
Here are the steps I did:
On a document library I set the versioning for major and minor version
I create an “Publishing approval” workflow and set it to “Start this workflow to approve publishing on a major version”.
But when I create a project instance of this type, the document library on the project site has the “Start this workflow to approve publishing on a major version” turned off.
Thanks!
Best regards

Hi,
I recommend to create a WebProvisioned event receiver.
We need to create an event handler and register it with the Web Provisioned event. In the event, we need to find the specific Library and set SPList.DefaultContentApprovalWorkflowId property.
When the site is provisioned, the event handler is activated. Then the "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" option will be checked.
More information:
SPWebEventReceiver.WebProvisioned method (Microsoft.SharePoint)
SPList.DefaultContentApprovalWorkflowId property (Microsoft.SharePoint)
Attaching Web Event to perform operations after creating the web (Event Receiver Concept)
