Workflow Failed on Start (workflow was cancelled by System Account

I have created a Workflow in SP Designer and attached to the library. It works fine in Dev but failing to run in Prod. getting the error Workflow was cancelled by System account and failed on Start.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Thanks

Hi,
What is SharePoint server’s version?
Check if the account who start the workflow has enough permission.
If you were using SharePoint server 2007, all Visual Studio workflows (including SharePoint OOB workflow and customized workflows) run as the System Account and have
full rights to everything in SharePoint Products and Technologies.
SharePoint Designer workflows, on the other hand, still run as the System Account, but they do so with their permissions trimmed down to those of the account that
initiates the workflow.
In other words, SharePoint Designer workflows always run impersonating the user who initiates the workflow.
For more information about troubleshoot workflow errors, check out the following article:

Out of the box workflow failed on start when started programatically

I have an approval workflow (out of the box) associated with a list and need to start it for some items programmatically when some conditions are met.
My application runs under an account which is a farm admin. I do have another user dedicated to start workflows. I'm using the code below but it always results in a 'failed on start' with these errors

Workflow 'WorkflowName' was canceled by System Account.

Is there any requirement on who can create the workflow? I can control who creates if I absolutely have to
Any help/clues/directions appreciated.

Hi LNFei,
To troubleshooting the issue, I recommend to follow the steps as below:
1.Start the workflow manually to check whether it works.
2.Use another account not System Account to check whether it works.
3.Publish the workflow as a different user (rather than System Account).
4.Deactivate and Reactive the “Workflow” Feature.
5.Check other workflows on other lists/libraries could work well.
6.Create a simple workflow having only one activity which will log history only, check if it works well.

Workflow failed to start

Hi,
We are having a Visual Studio 2010 workflow which is working fine in production. I made some minor changes in the code and deployed the DLL for the workflow in the test server.
The workflow is not running and throwing the below errors
1. Workflow XYZ was cancelled by System Account.
2. XYZ failed to start.
Due to these errors, I didn't deploy the changes in production. Can anyone please help on this?
Thanks,
Kunal

Hi Kunal,
To update the visual studio workflow, we need to deploy a new version of the workflow assembly and a new version of Workflow Element.xml, re-register (deactivate and then activate) the workflow Feature, and recreate or add the workflow association so that
SharePoint can connect to the new version of workflow assembly.
So the workflow Element.xml file, workflow feature and the workflow association are needed to be updated in addition to the workflow assembly.

Custom SharePoint Designer 2010 Workflows "Failed on Start"

Good morning everyone!
I have created a library using a custom Document Sets based content type that allows an additional custom Document based content type. I add a Document Set approval workflow using SharePoint Designer, but it constantly fails to start with these results:
Event Type
User ID
Description
Workflow Cancelled
System Account
Workflow [Workflow Name] was cancelled by System Account
Error
System Account
[Workflow Name] failed to start
I decided to test an OOTB workflow on the library to see if it would work and it did! An OOTB Approval Workflow functioned as expected. Also, other custom workflows on the site collection are running normally.
I've looked around for fixes, but haven't quite seen this exact scenario, so I figured I'd check here first before I started messing around with anything else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Toni Marie

Hi Toni,
According to your description, my understanding is that only the custom workflow containing "Start Document Set approval process" could not get be started.
Whether you tried to create a new workflow only containing "Start Approval Process" action via SharePoint Deisgner 2010. If not, please test again, compare the result.
Please create a new library, and add the document set into this library, then enable content approval for this library in library advanced settings. After that, re-create a new workflow only containing "Start Document Set Approval process" action,
compare the result.
Please test with another user, compare the result.
In addition, please check whether SharePoint 2007 Workflow feature and Workflow feature are enabled. If yes, please disable and re-enable them. If not, please enable them.
There is a similar post, please check if it is useful for you:

Hi,
My workflow fails to start and is cancelled this happens on

The emailenable value is true. And it just does not work for one site collection. It should not be regarding any hot fix.
Thank you for your suggestions and time. I will dig up further.

Failed to start workflow. The workflow cannot access the item that it has been applied to.

I have a quick question for you and it would be great if you can answer me on this.
I'm working through SharePoint Workflow issue (developed using Nintex) that started recently where people are getting workflow error and I don't see issues if I submit it myself. Current error. - "Failed to start workflow. The workflow cannot access
the item that it has been applied to."
I haven't made any major changes to Workflow except for changing email notification content and publishing it. My question is, do I need to publish the rest of the workflows too that are associated to the list after I publish changes of one workflow? Looks
like users have required permissions to submit the form. Please let me know how to get rid of this error.
smith

Hi Smithspd,
According to your description, my understanding is that your users got a workflow error, and the workflow is created by Nintex.
For SharePoint Designer workflow, once we do any change in a workflow, we need to re-publish the workflow.
For your issue, I suggest you re-publish the workflow, compare the result.
In addition, as your workflow is created by Nintex and this forum is for SharePoint Designer, I suggest you ask Nintex support or forum for better help. Thanks for your understanding.

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 =)

Action failed after start Crystal report add-on then Account Setup

Dear All,
We got an error message on a work station when start Crystal report add-on >> Go Account Setup >> type in sa password >> Action failed
Then I tried on the server. It used to work before. I type in the same password, the error message said 'login failed...'
The password is correct. I can login by using management studio.
Then I changed the password of sa user in management studio. On the server, after I changed password in Account Setup, it works. But on the workstation, I still have the same error message Action failed.
They are on SAP2007A PL06HF01, SQL2008, the OS of the workstation is Windows Vista business
Any idea? Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Yuka

Hi Yuka,
I moved your post to the Integration Kit forum.
Also be aware that CR 2008 supports MS SQL Server 2008 with Fix Pack 2.3 installed. MS also only supports MS SQL Server with their new Client. Go to the install CD for SQL Server and instlal the client Tools which installs a new driver.
Need to know what version of CR you are using?
Thank you

Failed To Start Because (I) Cancelled The Connection

I've been having issues with video chatting for probably the last year. I occasionally get it to work, but most of the time I get a plethora of error messages.
The one I'm currently getting is that I canceled the connection.
My router: AMBIT DOCSIS 2.0 Cable Modem
I'm not sure what else I should show you that could help me figure out my problem... I don't know if my connection is too slow or something, but I have wireless time warner road runner:

HT2105 Keep getting "Purchase Failed! No money was removed from your account." How can I make in-app purchases?

I have my credit card info entered properly but any in app purchases i try making will not go through.

Well, if I wasn't confused, I am now.
What do you mean "from Restrictions"? The Apps options within Parental Controls permit you to limit an App. There's no option to limit "in-apps" or no place that I can see it possible for "in-apps ... to be disabled". So you can block a kid from playing a game, but you can't block the game from asking the kid to spend $99 on in game toys — what TradeNations does — and nothing that requires an approval from an adult before that $99 is spent.
This is the control panel:
The "Allow App Store Apps" control is a simple age restriction. And the Allowed Apps is just the apps you permit the kid to use.
Please tell me there's another control panel I'm missing?

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

How to notify admin/some user if in list/library workflow fails?

How to send notification to admin if workflow fails to start or some error occurs in workflow?
i tried creating workflow on workflow history list but it is not running automatically as items are created with system account.
Is there any other way to notify admin ?

if you are trying to notify admin when an entry added to workflow history list, you can create alerts for that list.
