Workflow definition of task 'WS90123456' cannot be activated

Hello Experts,
I am trying to activate a workflow on document event change, and i am getting this error in the event trace: Workflow definition of task 'WS90123456' cannot be activated
In the receiver data i have:
receiver type : ws90123456
object key:
receiver fm: SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_IBF
rfc destination:
check fm
receiver type fm:
message: Workflow definition of task 'WS90123456' cannot be activated
any ideas as to why this is happening ?
The workflow has no errors and it is being generated correctly with no warnings and no errors
points are awarded,
regards

Hi
Go to SWDD and activate the workflow template. Then go to SWU_OBUF and refresh the buffers, and then refresh the org environment using the option in SWUD-->Problem:Workflow Does not start menu path. Test your event again
If still no joy goto SWUD go to Test Environment and select simulate event taking note of the messages code displayed.

Workflow definition of task WS92000077'' CANNOT BE ACTIVATED.
Pls suggest
Moosa

Hello,
It could be that some objects that it relies on (eg tasks, sub-workflows) haven't been transported.
Are there any other error messages, eg saying something doesn't exist?
Did you try to activate it?
Also, as always, try SWU_OBUF.

Workflow definition not activated

Hi,
after transporting a workflow from DEV to QUA environment I get the following error message in transaction SWU0:
"Workflow definition not activated"
How can I solve the problem?
Thank you.
//Elvez

Hi,
Looks like your workflow template that is transported is not active. Check the workflow status in the Information Area on the top left in SWDD (below the wokflow template id). It shud be "Active, Saved". If it something else click on the "Activate" button.
I am not sure if you are allowed to do this directly in Quality. If not allowed try creating the WF template in a new request and try transporting again (U might get one more version generated in quality but this might solve your problem)
Thanks,

Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.

Greetings All,
I am having issues with a SharePoint Designer workflow. This is a SharePoint 2013 environment, I'm using SharePoint Designer 2013 and working on a SharePoint 2010 workflow. I'm developing this as a SharePoint 2010 workflow because I need to do
impersonation.
The environment and workflow have been running, in the past week, without issue. I went to add a couple steps and now I cannot publish the workflow. While in SharePoint Designer, I receive the error:
"Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run." When I click the Advanced button on the error dialog, the message is "Unexpected error on server associating the workflow."
That is all the error information I have available; nothing is in the log files.
I have investigated this error and tried the following:
Cleared the SharePoint Designer cache.
The WebApp.UserDefinedWorkflowMaximumComplexity was at 7000 so I increased it to 10000. Restarted the servers (which may not have been necessary) and tried again receiving the same error. I then increased it to 30000 with the same error result.
Since this is a large workflow, I tried created a workflow with a single action, write to workflow log, with the same error results.
I reboot the servers and try again and now I can publish the small test workflow but not the original. However, neither will run. When I attempt to manually run the small test workflow on an item, I get an error: "Sorry something went wrong.
An unexpected error occurs. I checked the log files for the correlation id and nothing, nothing was logged for the error. ~arg~
Also, now no workflows can be published in this web app. Not just the one I was working on but none of them!
Does anyone have a clue what has happened to the SharePoint 2010 workflow service? Or some suggestions for me to try?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Sagar,
I appreciate it but if you see my original post, this is a SharePoint 2010 workflow that cannot be published; which has now caused all SharePoint 2010 workflows in the same web app to error.
Your first link is specific to SharePoint 2013 workflows.
Your second link refers to the UserDefinedWorkflowMaximumComplexity. If you read my original post, I've already tried this and I've tried to publish a small (single activity) workflow.
Your third link also refers to large workflows with many approval activities. My workflow doesn't contain any approval activities.
And you fourth link refers to 2013 workflows not 2010.
My issue is with publishing and running a SharePoint 2010 workflow in SharePoint 2013.
Thank you...

Unassign a task using Global Interactive activity.

Hi,
There is a task assigned to a particular user. I want to unassign that task from Global Interactive activity but it is not working. Steps followed by me are:
1. Global Interactive activity for unassigning any task at any time from the instance drop down.
2. A screenflow is called in the Global Interactive activity for unassign.
3. In the screenflow I have an automatic activity where I have written Participant.next=Participant.Unselect;
The log message in the automatic activity after the above written code shows participant value is blank. But when it comes out of the screenflow to the main process the participant automatically gets assigned. In the workspace the activity shows that it is still assigned to the user.
Note: I cannot use OOTB feature of Unassign because I need to show a screen with some reasons for Unassign, so I'm using a screenflow.
Kindly revert ASAP.

Hi Yasmin,
Try executing the code at the process level or use the product feature 'Unassign'.Hope it helps.
Regards,
Ritu S.

Issue with Inactive Approver Role in Workflow definition

Hi Experts,
we are having issue with Inactive Approver Role in workflow definitions.
we have created workflow for Master agreements and Projects. Phases and workflow are working fine.
But the issue is when a programmatically added approver has completed the approval activity, collaborator role is not changing from approver role to Inactive Approver Role mentioned in workflow definition. For example, you might select Reviewer in Inactive Approver Role, Then Selected collaborator role to be given to programmatically added approvers when the approval activity is completed.
This is functionality not happening when project or contract document approved and workflow completed in project and MA. we have followed all the standard functionality when we have created workflow. Please see screen shot for the same.
Can anyone please tell me is there any functionality we missed it or do we need to write any script in xpdl or do we need to check anything with collaborator role or with security profiles.
we have checked with other roles also same issue coming.
This Reviewer is in active state and have Readonly profile. We don't have Pre script in this workflow because we are using standard approval.
Thanks in advance!
Lava

Thanks gary for your helpful answer.
As per your answer We have added the approver role in the prescript so that it gets added programmatically , still no luck.
here is the script we wrote in prescript.
import com.sap.eso.api.common.*;
import com.sap.eso.api.projects.*;
import com.sap.odp.api.workflow.*;
import com.sap.odp.api.usermgmt.masterdata.*;

collaboratorsCollection = doc.getCollectionMetadata("COLLABORATORS").get(doc);
if (collaboratorsCollection.size() > 0)
   for (int i = collaboratorsCollection.size() - 1; i >= 0; --i)
        collaboratorsCollection_member = collaboratorsCollection.get(i);
        if (hasValue(collaboratorsCollection_member))
           collaboratorRole = collaboratorsCollection_member.getCollaboratorRole().getDisplayName();
            // Get approver of Role "Approver".
           if(collaboratorRole.equals("Approver"))
                principal = collaboratorsCollection_member.getPrincipal();
if (hasValue(principal))
     addApprover(principal);
Do you have any other suggestions? or if you have any related code snippet please share with us.

No workflow definitions returned

Hi,
I'm attempting to write a simple test application to list the workflow definitions on a SharePoint Online site. I've tried both a provider hosted CSOM and JSOM approach and I cannot get any definitions listed. The CSOM approach is standard code
as follows..
public ActionResult About()
User spUser = null;
var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(HttpContext);
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
if (clientContext != null)
WorkflowServicesManager wfServicesManager = new WorkflowServicesManager(clientContext, clientContext.Web);
WorkflowDeploymentService wfDeploymentService = wfServicesManager.GetWorkflowDeploymentService();
WorkflowDefinitionCollection wfDefinitions = wfDeploymentService.EnumerateDefinitions(false);
clientContext.Load(wfDefinitions);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var def in wfDefinitions)
builder.AppendLine("Workflow" + def.DisplayName);
ViewBag.Message = builder.ToString();
return View();
I've created and deployed both Sharepoint 2010 approval workflows and 2013 list based workflows and a site workflow and non of the definitions show up.
My JSOM and CSOM apps run fine in every other respect but no workflows are listed. Any idea greatly appreciated..
Thanks
Nigel

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I believe I am using the 2013 workflow code accessing the api on SharePoint Online. The code on this link just accesses a different api within the 2013 workflow api. I did try this code and got an Access Denied exception which is
a step forward. Before I was getting no response at all but unfortunately it's not the solution.
Thanks and Regards
Nigel

Cannot add Active Directory Domain Services role on - DirectoryServices-DomainController . Status: -2147021879 (80070bc9)

Hi everyone,
I've been banging my head against this for a while and hope someone can help me.
Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with Service Pack 1.
When I try to add the Active Directory Domain Services role to the server it gets to about 90% complete and then dies.
The ServerManager.log shows the following information, I have run the System Readiness Tool - output below - with no errors found.
At a loss on what to do next. The only other links I've found suggest rebuilding the server which I would really like to avoid...
Help appreciated,
John

Hi John,
Thanks for posting.
Performed some research and some results say that this problem can be caused by HD Write Caching.
To disable Write Caching:
1. Go to Device Manager.
2.Click the plus sign (+) next to the Disk Drives branch to expand it.
3.Right-click the drive on which you want to enable or disable disk write caching, and then click Properties.
4.Click the Disk Properties tab.
5.Click to select or clear the Write Cache Enabled check box as appropriate.
6.Click OK.
If no luck, Please check if any erros can be found in Event log, Dcpromoui.Log and Dcpromo.log

'Iphone may be damaged and cannot be activated for service'

Ive just bought a used iphone4. it arrived having been cleared and reset.
I connected to itunes and upgraded to the new software. Then it worked for half a day. Then a message came up saying i need ot restore the phone.
So i plugged it in again and at the end of the uprgrade sequence it comes up with-
'Problem with the iphone - may be damaged and cannot be activated for service' - please visit apple store.
Its obviously out of warranty and the apple store is a long way away. Ive only had it a day and im assured its never been jailbroken, dropped or water damaged.
I know loads of people have had this message come up and people have recommened going to the apple store. But before i make the long trek i just wanted to know if anyone ever came up with a solution to fix this and use the phone again.
Any help much appreciated. back on sh+tty blackberry!!

Thanks for the replies guys!
I cant access the phone it just stays on 'connect to itunes'
Could someone quickly explain how jailbraking an iphone could cause it problems? I want to email the person I bought this from and tell them why I think they have damaged it by jailbraking it.
I really appreciate this help bacuase ive shelled out £160 for this paperweight, Thanks.

Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated.

Any documents created within 10.6 and printed/saved as a pdf file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool activated allowing selection of text and copy/paste or text highlight actions made.
Using OSX 10.6.7 Preview application using the File > Import from Scanner (Epson V500 scanner), the scanned document cannot activate the Text Tool. Only the Move and Select tools cans be selected, activated and used. It's as if Preview's document scanned image using Format-PDF, the scans appear to be an image scan of the text/document into a PDF file and not using OCR to allow a Text Edit.
I can scan a printed document using Acrobat and my Epson scanner and the text tool within Acrobat or Adobe Reader works fine.
Is this a shortcoming within Preview using Format-PDF that the Text tool cannot be activated or used on Preview scanned documents containing text? If so why is Preview's text tool even offered?
If Text Tool can be used on a Preview scanned document…How ? Please!

After further research I have been able to answer my own question regarding-
"Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated."
In Apples Mac 101 Support article entitled: "Using a scanner (Mac 10.6) last modified on March 15, 2011, states: "Item 6. Click Scan to scan. Note: The scanned items will become JPEG images with 300 dpi"
So there it is…Any item (or printed document) scanned under Preview using the selected Format-PDF will be scanned as a JPEG image.
That' s why the Text Tool cannot be activated, it's not being scanned as text but as an image.
If a document is created within the computer via Pages, Text Edit, Word etc. and saved using the "Print-PDF-Save asPDF" file option, the already digitized text is saved within the PDF file and can then the PDF file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool will be available for use to copy/paste or highlight.

Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow auto approve task after due date is passed

sharepoint 2013 designer workflow auto approve task after due date is passed.
Could we approve the task automatically once due date is apssed?
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

Hi Amit,
If your task is created by a workflow (first) and stored in a separate task list, you can create another workflow on this particular task list, then each workflow instance would check if current task is expired (not approved/rejected), then
determine if update current task's "Task Outcome" as approved (and update task status as complete), and then create a retention policy on this paricular task list to trigger the workflow on due date .

Amazon has a refurbed I pad Air with this remark. Item cannot be activated because of cloud lock previous user login unknown. Is there a work around or is it best to forget this one and move on?

You are welcome, at least the seller was honest enough to let potential buyers know that the device is useless to anyone who would try to buy it.

Workflow Pattern FYI Task Issue

Hi,
BPEL PM version 10.1.2.0.2.
I am trying to create a workflow using FYI Task pattern. I have only one action 'Acknowledge'. The task gets created and shows up in the worklist application under my group, but the status of the task is 'Withdrawn' and no action displays for that task. I want the task to be 'Assigned' to the group and let the process continue. The group user can then acknowledge the task whenever. I used the workflow wizard to create the task.
Why does the task show up as 'Withdrawn' with no action list? Has anybody encountered this issue before? Any help is appreciated!

I'm also seeing instances of tasks arriving on the worklist and then being immediately withdrawn (bpeladmin) ?
The call to InitiatTask fails :
