Hello,

Yesterday I faced with the bug in Nintex workflows: attempt to start workflow manually brings to launch non actual (old version) of this workflow.
I.e. most recent version is v92, attempt to launch workflow manually brings to launch the workflow v24.

Remediation steps from my side :
1. Export most recent of the workflow from the designer mode to the HDD.
2. Delete the workflow from the site.
3. Open the link http://[teamspace_address]/NintexWorkflow
4. Delete the folder named as your workflow (i.e. if workflow name is myWorkflow, then you need to delete myWorkflow folder]
5. Open the Nintex designer, import and publish workflow with the same name.

And these steps did not bring any result.

Just a heads up in case you weren't aware, the latest version of Nintex Forms 2010 has been released. It's added quite a few welcome features, bug features etc and two leapt out at me straight away.  

Default a People Picker field to the current user. Woo!
Query String Parameter. You can now default a field to a parameter passed from a query string. Woo & Hoo!

More are listed in the link below but I've yet to look at them in any depth.

http://nintexdownload.com/sl/supportfiles/NF2010_version_history.pdf 

Other highlights for me...

People picker rebuilt. You just type in the box and matches appear.
Form Variables.
Form Version control.

Any experiences you have with the new features let me know!

Hello Community!

hope someone can help ...

we have an approval workflow which is working fine ... till i add a new function to write back audiences and a tree view field (called "Verteiler")!

First i made this funtion in a separate Workflow on the same list - no problems to read out the item property "Verteiler" and write back the modified data!

If i  do exactly the same workflow steps in the "approval Workflow" in the same list - the worklfow is not able to read the "current item property" - the variable is blank and if i write it back in the workflow protocol i get the result: Item - Verteiler: {ItemProperty:Verteiler}!?
So i tried to keep the worklfow separated and start it from the first approval workflow - same result - no value in the Item Property: Verteiler!

Second Problem: if i try to fill the field "audiences" the values where inserted, but not resolved/verified against existing audiences - only if i open and save the item manually the entries where verified and ok!?

So i tried to "Update list item action" and/or "set field" with "pause" and/or "Wait for item update" and/or "commit action" :(

Thanks to all ...

 regards

Hi all,

I am having troubles with trying to convert the DateTime from a Repeating Section. It looks like this when I try to log it in history:

<DateExpenseIncurred type="System.DateTime">11/27/2013 17:00:00</DateExpenseIncurred>

I am using Query XML action and XPath to get the variables.

My problem is I can't directly assign it to a Date/Time type for some reason. It says cannot assign ArrayList.

If I assign it to a Text variable, it works fine. However, I need to make use of this so I need to convert to Date/Time.

Does anyone has suggestions for this?

Thank you! 

Hi there.

We have a strange error ,while running workflow enters Flexi task action.

Verbose logging shows empty string in Site Owners and WF throws unexpected error

ULS log:

Hi,

I installed the Nintex Forms in my Office 365 site. When I click on the Nintex Forms button in the Ribbon for a Form Library, I got following error message: Unable to edit form, the content type “Form” is marked as read-only.

 I am very new to Nintex Forms, am I missing something obvious?

 Thanks

Hi,

 A couple weeks ago I´ve been experimenting issues with my environment, specifically with Nintex workflow scheduler. I set up a workflow for running in a given time. when this starts. its status shows as "Starting" and immediately after, the status is changed to Failed on start. the description said the workflow was cancelled by system account. but if I start the workflow manually or automaticly when an item is created, the workflow run normally.

Some one has experimented this issue? can you help me?

Hi, 
I'm trying to insert a record into my database with information received from the work flow.

insert into EventRequestLog

(eventType, Requestor, etc...)

 Values (''{WorkflowVariable:EventType}','{WorkflowVariable:Requestor}',etc...)

 This works if it put in directly as the Query in the Exectu Sql action, However, I am wanting to use string builder to store the whole query in a multiline text variable called queryText

if I use the vairable {WorkflowVariable:queryText} in the Query, with Escape reference values for use in strings checked, it no longer works.
It gives me the error

Error performing database operation. Incorrect syntax near 'HireEmployee'.

'Hireemployee' is the workflow variable EventType.
I also emailed myself the string, and if I copy and paste what the strong is directly into the a SQL query in SQL server, it works with out producing any errors.

 I'm at a loss. 
The string is correct.

Thanks for any help 

Hi 

Has anyone used the queryformessages web service before? I'm having trouble finding out what the messageid should be in the web service input.  I have tried random characters and numbers and also leaving it empty. But the error "Server was unable to process request. ---&gt; Could not find stored procedure 'GetMessageBoxItems'" is always returned. 

The reason I'm having to result to this is that I am splitting my workflow into two and using the start workflow action to start another workflow. Although there is an option in that action to wait for workflow to finish before continuing, when that is enabled,  the 2nd workflow being started is stuck in starting. 

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.  

Hi,

after updating Nintex Workflow 2010  to version 2.3.9.0 (previouz version 2.2.3.0). My workflows start to fall into error (Could not find stored procedure 'SetHumanWorkflowApproversMetadata_SystemUpdate') in Flexi Task step. For this flexi task i have created custom approve form (using example from NintexWorkflow2010SDK.chm) in VS2012 and it worked without problems until now.

Can somebody point me in right direction?

Thanks.

Hi,

we are upgrading from MOSS 2007 to SP 2013 on premise.

In trial migration, i have upgraded MOSS 2007 to 2010 using database attach method. In 2010 environment, workflows are working fine

Then from 2010 server. i upgraded to SP 2013, using database attach method. 

I followed the Upgrade instructions guide and upgraded Nintex database and then sharepoint content databases.

But in 2013 environment, I am seeing some error marks in workflow actions. especially in set variable action, which is setting a text variable.

when I try to save the workflow, i am getting 'Type mismatch' error.

 Any idea, why this error is occurring?

Thanks in advance.

We want create folder one inside another up to 4 levels. If we are using different folder names it will work using "Create Item" event by separating by "/". Bu if we are mentioning same names for any of the folders it is failing.

Described the scenario below,

 1.       SharePoint document library with 4 drop down fields (all are having same values)

 2.       If we upload something we need to select values from 4 drop downs (required).

           Values to drop downs:

           Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4, Test5, Test6

3.       We are starting the workflow when an item added to the library

4.       We have the four drop down values

5.       Using “Create Item”, I am trying to create folder structure in the library.

Eg 1:

   If I have selected Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4 in the corresponding drop downs (say drop down1, drop down2, drop down3, & drop down4)

    The create Item “Name”(filed from library with Folder Content type) will be  Test1/ Test2/ Test3/ Test4

     In this case folder will be created without any issues. Test1 at the top level inside that Test2 inside that Test3 and inside that Test4.

   If I am selecting Test1, Test1, Test3, Test4 in the corresponding drop downs (say drop down1, drop down2, drop down3, & drop down4)

  So the create Item “Name” will be Test1/ Test1/ Test3/ Test4

  In this case Test1 at the top level inside that Test3 inside that Test4. Only one Test1 folder is created.

  So if we are repeating any names in the loop that won’t be created. If we are using Test1 for all the drop downs only one folder will be created with name “Test1” at the top level. Nothing else will be created.

Workflow Steps:

  1.       Fetching four drop down values to the variables using "Set Variable" action.             

  2.       Create the folders using the "Create item" action

  3.       Create item details

          Specify the library name.

          Select Folder as the content type.

          Select "Name" as the field.    

          Value for Name  is   “Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/Folder4”

 4.     Copying the document uploaded to the folder we have created

          Destination URL:  http://mysite.com/TestResearch/Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/Folder4/ 

 5.       Finally I will delete the item uploaded to the top level.

When trying to export a Nintex Workflow, I get the error message "Sorry, Something went wrong"

I looked up the correlation id in the ULS logs and found the following:

Does anyone know why I can't export the workflow?

Hello.

I have Request Data action with Richtext multiline field "Comment" and multiline variable "MeetingComment" filled from Request Data action.

Then i'm setting field value in Current Item with "MeetingComment", but the variable contains only plain text. And, of cource, I need to fill formatted value. Is there a way how to achieve this?

 1. CurrentItem with Richtext multiline field MyComment

2. RequestData task with RichText multiline field Comment

3. MeetingComment multiline variable to bridge setting MyComment with Comment value. 

 Thank you very much 

Dear all,

 I would like to ask whether we could pick list items to display on "list item" control on the form because I don't want to display all the items. Thanks!

We are migrating from SP2007 to SP2013 and I'm trying to use the Query LDAP action in Nintex 2013 to get the displayname of a user stored in a people lookup field.  I've done this before in SP2007.  Problem is we are now using claims based authentication and the fields is now storing this value for the username - i:0#.w| before the domain and username.  I'm thinking this is causing an issue as I'm not getting any values back from the query.

I'm not a developer or network admin so I don't know the proper syntax to query AD.  Any ideas? 

Hi

I'm a very surprised to discover I cant copy a list item from one site to another(not even seperate site collections) from the Nintex drag and drop UI. After some investigation Ive discovered I need to call a web service, write some code in the SOAP editor etc. I'm not a developer and I have no expierence in web services c# etc. I thought the purpose of the product was take allow non-technical staff to create there own workflows. A few questions.

1. Am I missing a really easy drap and drop copy list item command?

2. Will a copy list item to other sites be available in Workflow 2010?

3. Is there a step by step guide for a muppet like myself?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I am using Nintex Workflow 2013. I am facing an issue that after "change state" in the state machine workflow, a new task is not assigned to the user. After investigating I found that in the central administration "Workflow" jobs are stuck in "Pausing" state in all my 3 servers. 

I found this resolution http://www.sharepointsiren.com/2013/05/sharepoint-timer-job-stuckpaused-fix.html. It worked for one day but now it happened again.

Note that the SharePoint Timer service is running on all the servers.
