Workflow tracing on waveset
Hi,
When we perform any actions on Admin interface, some workflow will get executed and every step executed by workflow executor on this Workflow gets written into a files named "true" and "false" in my home directory!!!
These files are too huge. But I'm not sure how to stop this tracing/workflow steps getting redirected to some file. All parameters in Waveset.properties file are set to false and workflow trace option is disabled in system configuration file also.
Any idea??
jc,
with flow trace-ip, you can see the TCP or UDP packets coming and going out the CSS.
Also, this command does not display all the packets.
We only see the ones that are process-switched.
A better solution would be to use a sniffer trace in front of the CSS and in the backend side.
You can also check the 'sho ether-error' commands to see if any problem is
detected by the CSS.
If there is other switches, like Cisco catalyst, use 'sho interface' or 'sho port
to check for CRC errors.
Regarding your problem, if you have a lot of connections and some of them stays idle for 15 seconds, the CSS might drop them to free resources.
What you usually see in this case is a RESET being sent by the CSS to the client.
One solution to this problem is the flow port timeout command to increase the default 15 seconds timer.
In conclusion, I would suggest to capture a sniffer trace in front of the CSS and see if you have RST.
Hope this will help.
Gilles.

Troubleshooting Approval workflow issues
We are getting this message from time to time and are unsure how to troubleshoot it.
It seems as though something is changing the document, what is the best way to figure out what?
Approval on DOCUMENT NAME has ended because the item that the task process is running on was changed.Hi Daniel,
1.What message do you get?
2. Look in the Workflow History list, eg "http://sp2013/Lists/Workflow History". Do you find any errors in there?
3. Is the user account starting the workflow correctly synchronized in the user profile database?
4. Is the user account starting the workflow different from the Worflow Manager setup account? (more info at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658588.aspx#section7)
5. Are the User Profile Service and App Management Service started? See the green frames in the screenshot below, taken from Central Administration \ Manage Services on Server.
6.Are the App Management Service Application and User Profile Service Application started? Their proxies should be started as well. See the green frames in the screenshot below, taken from

Can we call a workflow form a JSP and/or form a Java Class?
Is it possible to call a workflow form a JSP and/or form a Java Class?
Below is some xpress code I wrote once, used to dynamically lauch workflows from within a workflow. Since it basically uses java classes, you reuse these in your java program or jsp:
- create a new generic object
- call the setId, put, ... methods on it
- set the input variables for the workflow by putting them into the generic object
- call the checkinView method on a LighthouseContext object which launches your workflow.
If all you need is starting a workflow from a jsp, you might also want to take a look at the tasks/taskLaunch.jsp jsp. This is an out of the box jsp which allows launching of tasks. If I remember correctly you have to give an url parameter which specificies the name of task you want to start: tasks/taskLaunch.jsp?id=<workflow-name>

I am trying to initiate a workflow from a form. I have seen several posts in the forums and confusing. I have a form called example user form. In that form I have placed a button. I want as soon as I press the button; test workflow should initiate. Workflow should open another form 'Empty Form'
Now as per forums I have created the workflow 'Test Workflow' with these 2 activities as below -

Not sure what am I missing or how to configure this ?Hello Ketan,
thanks again so much for your response.
I wasn't sure if you preferred that I reply you on the Forum, or via email, since you wrote down your email address.
In response to your question..........I am not really sure how the Form is mapped. I customized the Form basically for one thing only : to CREATE USER.
What I did was : I copied the original IDM "Create User" form, modified it the way I wanted it, and imported it back into the Repository.
So, now, I have a fully-functional, customized form, for creating Users.
This form contains the original "Buttons" at the end : SAVE, CANCEL, TEST, etc.
I have no idea if it should be mapped anywhere. And, if it should, I don't know how to do this.
When the Form is completed, and I press SAVE, everything happens at it should. The Form is saved, the new User is created.
However, I want other things to happen, too. This is why I am so stuck on creating Workflows.
Let me give you an example :
For instance, the following simple script is part of my User Form (selection from a dropdown menu) :
<Field name='orderlunch'>
<Display class='Select' action='true'>
<Property name='title' value='Order Lunch'/>
<Property name='allowedValues'>
<List>
<String>- Please Select -</String>
<String>Yes</String>
<String>No</String>
</List>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>
A small XML code, to indicate an order for lunch.
Naturally, if the user selects "No", then nothing happens.
But, if he selects "Yes", then I would like the Form to send an Email Notification to the appropriate person, notifying him that lunch has been ordered. (of course, I would need to indicate such things as WHO ordered the lunch, WHEN, etc, etc. But, I will get into that later)
In other words, if I choose "YES" for that particular variable, and then I press SAVE, to save and submit the form, then I want the Workflow to send an email notification.
I am guessing that, the code in the Workflow will be something like the following (Please, correct me if I am wrong)
*<eq>*
*<ref>orderlunch</ref>*
*<s>YES<s>*
*</eq>*
----- Create a new activity ----
*<Action id='0' application='com.waveset.provision.WorkflowServices'>*
*<Argument name='op' value='notify'/>*
*<Argument name='template' value='Name of Email Template'/>*
*<Argument name='toAddress' value='toaddress'/>*
*<Argument name='smtpHost'>*
*<ref>SMTPhost</ref>*
*</Argument>*
*<Argument name='from'>*
*<ref>from address</ref>*
*</Argument>*
*</Action>*
Is this correct?
Please, help me out here.

</TaskDefinition>Can anyone help me with this?Hi,
It could be that the workflow is being executed
but it is not doing the correct thing.
Why dont you load the workflow into the debugger,
set a breakpoint on it and then run reconcilliation.
That way you will know for sure if the workflow
is being executed.

Hi,
I am trying to test how workflow works. I have created a button in the form to initiate workflow. The workflow contains simple start --- email notification -- End. So everytime I click the button it should send email notification.

Now if I initiate the workflow I should get sometext in notification.txt file as I configured the same in properties file. But after clicking I get the option for launch process and it doesn't show any process. Just wondering what needs to be configured to test simple workflow like this to start with.Without a template or toAddress specified, i don't think any mail would be sent.
Also, how are you invoking the workflow? -
Hi dudes,
I hav created a Workflow. Which also calls some rules. I have executed it from admin interface by clicking on 'Run Tasks' tab. It worked fine in the beginning. But after some time the workflow started executing only few lines inside a block and skipping the other statements below that. All the statements are unconditional. For eg, if I hav 2 <set> statements in a block it executes only the first <set>. What could be the problems. Expecting a positive reply experts.
Thanks in advanceHi this is a sample piece of my Workflow.

Windows Service Hosted workflow, Stop it with ServiceOperation call?
I am working on a POC for Scheduling Workflows. I have a workflow hosted with Workflow Services Host. Using a While activity I loop while KeepRunning = true. Using Pick-->PickBranch I have two ServiceOperations running in Receive activities in each
Branch. There is a StartWorkflow ServiceOperation in one branch and a StopWorkflow ServiceOperation in another branch. The StartWorkflow operation basically just runs another Workflow called RunWorkflow with a calculated Delay activity between each
completion. It will loop indefinitely on that RunWorkflow activity until the KeepRunning is set to false. The StopWorkflow ServiceOperation is what changes the KeepRunning flag to false. My problem is that the StartWorkflow operation never completes so that
the Messaging directed to StopWorkflow can take place. I have used a CorrelationHandle to group the two ServiceOperations together set to a Guid property on the incoming DataContracts (requests). Is there someway to get the StartWorkflow operation to stop
in this scenario?HI Les G. Kinney,
Welcome to WorkFlow forum.
Workflow tracing offers a way to capture diagnostic information using .NET Framework trace listeners. Tracing can be enabled if a problem is detected with the application and then disabled again once the problem is resolved.
According to your description above, it's recommended to enable
workflow tracing first, it will give some hints why this happens.
Windows Workflow scheduling services manage how workflow instances are scheduled by the workflow runtime engine. This resource is also available. See:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms735790(v=vs.90).aspx

I have an odd one. I have a workflow that we have been using for over a year, (has run over a 1000 times) and have not encountered this issue with it previously. I have 1 particular running instance of the workflow that has a Task that will not
'complete'. Other tasks are updating/completing with other instances of the workflow.
With this particular task, if you Approve or Reject it, the Task record gets updated (Modified date changes), but the Outcome remains blank and the Status remains 'In Progress'.
I haven't tried to 'Terminate' the workflow yet as we would like to retain the workflow history.
Anyone else encounter anything like this before? Suggestions?Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the workflow task sticks in In Progress status.
To solve this issue, I recommend to enable the workflow tracing log in SharePoint and check the ULS log for detailed error message.

Task executions in multi server environment
Hi All,
I have a question regarding the task execution in a multi-server environment.
Below is the scenario:
We have two SIM applications: one for intranet users (employees and contractors) and one for extranet users (customers). Both these applications point to same database repository.
Intranet : idm-intra.ear ( this is deployed on IntraServer1 and IntraServer2)
Extranet: idm-extra.ear ( this is deployed on ExtraServer1 and ExtraServer2)
And both share same repository WAVESET.
Now we are deploying some request workflows for intranet users. In our case even the extranet application can see these tasks.
My question is: if I triggered a request workflow from intranet application and it is pending for approval and when it times out, is there a chance that this workflow is executed by the "extranet" application?
Thanks,
kIDMan.The answer to your question is yes. If you go to the Configure>>Server tab in the admin console on any of these instances of IdM you should see all four instances. An easy way to test this is happening, is to enable workflow tracing and launch a couple of request from IntraServer1. IdM will try to distribute the work among all the servers it knows about so you'll see portions of the flow within the workflow traces on the individual servers. Well maybe it's not an easy thing to test because it's a timing issue.......
I had an issue recently in which the guy doing the build to the QA environment messed up and pointed the QA IdM instances to the DEV repository. We were doing some testing of some flows on DEV and they were being executed on the QA IdM instances and bombing out with ClassNotFound errors because the QA environment was not build out completely/correctly. So even though the requests were being launched from the DEV instances they were being executed on the QA instances.
There is a feature that is supposed to let you restrict which workflows run on which servers. If you go to the admin console and click on Configure>>Servers choose a server and click on the 'Scheduler' tab and then check the 'Task Restrictions' checkbox. From here you can restrict which workflows run on which servers. But my suspicion is that this doesn't work correctly (based on some testing I was doing on 7.1)....might want to test it out....Hope this helps.
