Problem with message templates

Hi, 

I’m trying to automatically set the Nintex Message Templates for newly created site collections. When using the NWAdmin tool with -o ConfigureSettings -file "C:\Projects\Email.xml" I’m running into the following problem.

 Command line execution error: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.

 However when I change the XML to set the email templates for the farm level, It works just fine:

Adding Message Template set for the farm

 The XML I’m using:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<NintexWorkflowSetupParameters xmlns="http://nintex.com/NintexWorkflowSetup.xsd">

                <MessageTemplates>

                               <TemplateRecord Scope="Site" Url="http://heerema/">

                                               <Header>Hello</Header>

                                               <Footer>Goodbye</Footer>

                                               <ApprovalRequiredBody>A</ApprovalRequiredBody>

                                               <ApprovalNotRequiredBody>B</ApprovalNotRequiredBody>

                                               <ApprovalRequiredSubject>C</ApprovalRequiredSubject>

                                               <ApprovalNotRequiredSubject>D</ApprovalNotRequiredSubject>

                               </TemplateRecord>

                </MessageTemplates>

</NintexWorkflowSetupParameters>

I'm using Nintex Workflow 2010 (2.3.10.0)

Anyone else run into this problem or knows a solution?

Hi I am trying to create a workflow that pulls the fields from a repeating section. I have followed the instructions in Dan's post here http://www.sharepointpub.com/formatting-a-table-from-collection-variables-nintex-workflow/  .

 I have built out all the strings but my XML query at the start of the process is not working.

 

As this is a list item I understand I can not use the current item as source but is there an easy way to get the XML for the source?

 

Many thanks

Nintex 2010 Security Validation Error Message

Hello,

I am running Nintex Workflow 2010 on a SharePoint 2010 Enterprise environment. I have been running into an error stating: "Server was unable to process request. ---> The security validation for this page is invalid.

I am including the detailed error from the SharePoint Trace Logs below.

I have tried disabling Security Validation from the Web Application level to no avail. Also, we were on version 2.3.5. I tried updating to the latest, version 2.3.10. Again, with no success. The update went in fine; all the version numbers have updated; but, we are still receiving this perplexing error.

Any advice is appreciated!

Thank you,
Joseph Irvine

Collection Operation, Add method fails on first item when using Index

August 28, 2009, 5:39 pm

Hello Nintex Connect,

I seem to have a basic problem with the Add method of the Collection Operation action in Nintex Workflow 2007 (v. 1.09.04).

The scenario is very simple:

1. If I specify a Text workflow variable and assign it a value, and a Collection workflow variable and use the Add method with the Text variable the action succeeds and I can use Get to retrieve the value again.

2. If I try to do the above but use a List ID variable initialized to 0 to specify the first item of the collection the workflow errors with the text 'Error operating on collection variable. Index property is greater than the number of items in the collection'. I expected a value of 0 for the empty collection would be a valid value. What value should be used in this case?

3. Of course from step 2 I could choose not to use an Index in the Add method to add items to the collection. But if I have any List ID variables defined in the workflow (for other purposes), the first of these will be pre-selected in the Index dropdown list of the Add method of the Collection Operation. It is not possible to avoid using an index (the user manual for this action says it's optional) and I'm left with no way to add the item without the action to trigger the above mentioned workflow error. What is the solution here?

 

Thanks.

 

Kind regards,

Maurizio.

The options to manage and create a workflow have disappeared.

On going to my document library this morning I was unhappy to find the options for managing and creating workflows in the workflow settings on the document library - library tools ribbon had disappeared.

I have already checked and confirmed:

  • The site features have not been activated
  • The user has the correct permissions
  • The workflows can still be started and can run from the edit drop down of the item itself.

 Any ideas?

Call to GetUserCollectionFromGroup webservice

I'm trying to get a list of users in a sharepoint group. I've set up a "Call web service" action to call the UserGroup.asmx webservice for the site.  When I try the "Run Now" button, I get the results I would expect.  When I try to configure the Web service with "Specify Elements", I'm not able to get anything to populate a collection type variable or multi-line text variable for any of the elements that are selectable.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Update an item action not showing all columns from infopath form library

I am attempting to update a column value in an InfoPath form document other than the current item that the workflow is running on. I can specify my where clause in the update item action but the column that I want to change is not in the drop down list. The only list items are Name and Title. Any idea why? Should I not be able to see all my columns? I see all available columns if I look at a sharepoint list but not an InfoPath doc library.

If its not possible to change a form library document this way, what other options are available within nintex? 

 

 

Thanks

Hi, I have a SharePoint 2013 farm with a web application that hosts a site collection running in 2010 mode.

On this site collection there is a Nintex Workflow (Version 6.0) that tries to create a new site collection using the built in action “Create site collection”. In this action it is not possible to specify compatibility level (experience version), witch result in the site collection being created in 15 mode (default), and hence our web template (uiversion4 which is visible in the UI) cannot be created. Is there a work-around for this?

The error beeing thrown:

Error: File or arguments not valid for site template '{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}#TEMPLATENAME'. 

 

For info: 

NOT Working (trows the same error as above): 

 New-SPSite -Url "URL" -OwnerAlias "USER" -Template "NAME"

Working 

 New-SPSite -Url "URL" -OwnerAlias "USER" -Template "NAME" -CompatibilityLevel 14

Nintex 2013 Convert Document (.docx) to PDF in SharePoint 2013

Hi ,

I was hoping I could get some help with Nintex workflow “Convert Document”  to pdf as I kept getting the following errors when running the workflow. I am using SharePoint 2013 and Nintex 2013.

 

Error found in Workflow History:

Conversion Error: Conversion Job did not complete. 1 jobs failed. 0 jobs cancelled.

Here is the error in the SharePoint Log:

Error code: 65543; Message: The file could not be converted; it may be corrupt or otherwise invalid (the conversion process failed). Please try opening the file in Microsoft Word, resaving it, and then resubmitting the file for conversion. If this does not resolve the issue, contact your system administrator.     (Build:3050)

 

Please see file attached for the screenshot of the Workflow step that does the conversion:

 Output URL in the screenshot:   http://recordpoint.dev.local:20488/sites/demo/Finance/output.pdf

 

I found the following article related to this issue on Nintex Connect Forum but this seems to only apply to SharePoint 2010.

http://connect.nintex.com/forums/thread/21929.aspx

 

I have also tried troubleshooting Word Automation Services following the article below:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff512795(v=office.14).aspx

 

but all my configurations seem to be fine.

 

Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

 I am creating a Nintex Form for a Sales Request where the user will select the customer from a lookup column (drop down list). within that form i have added a repeating section with the following controls:

 1.  a lookup field contains all materials (drop down).

 2. text boxes for the selected material details (name, description, price, discount).

what i need to do is when selecting a material from the drop down list, using javascript, i should be able to populate the textboxes with that material details.

so far i have accomplished that for the first row in the repeating section. but i have field to do it for the next rows. my code cannot find the text boxes for each row.

Hi

I've got the Export Workflow History SDK example to work fine following the example in the SDK pdf.  However I need to apply this to a form ibrary that uses content types.   

At the moment I'm getting the following error message

Failed to invoke web service. Error returned from server: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>You are not authorized to view this page</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Cont

I'm assume this is because I'm trying to apply the same XSL Transform Code given in the HistoryExportPlain xsl stylesheet to a form library but haven't got a clue as to what I'd need to change i order to get this working??

Any help greatly appreciated as we really need to be able to store all the WF flow history time.  

Many Thanks

Failed to publish workflow: The type or namespace name 'WorkflowActivities' does not exist in the namespace <Company Name> (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Added refererence to activities project, deployed the dlls to the GAC.  For giggles I tried to change the namespace thinking maybe it had issues with assembly name matching namespace name, this did not work.  The error was then:

Required field validation not working corretly

Hello all,

I have an issue that I very much hope someone can help me with.

I have a simple list with different columns, only multi-line and single-line text fields and yes/no (tickboxes) columns. I have made a form that is showing the multi-line textinput-boxes, when the tickboxes are ticked. Like this: Please, tick if you are interested in X, when ticked, the multiline field is shown to let the user type the details.

One single-line, one Multi-line textboxe and two person-fields are made mandatory/required.

Normally required fields that has not been filled when clicking 'save' gets a red outline, and a remark  saying: 

"Please address the following: 
This is a required field." 

appears in red at the top of the form.

The problem is that one field, NotesAndComments is not validating correct: 

It does not show as required before the user tries to save the form with all other required fields in the form are filled-in (and refuse to close form on save). 

Only, when the user press save with all other required fields correctly filled and NotesAndComments is left empty, the red outline appears on the field - and when the remark and outline has first appeared it does not dissapear again before form is succesfully saved and closed.  

The form-inputbox NotesAndComments is correctly connected to the Sharepoint column NotesAndComments in the Nintex Form Editor. 

I can give you additional info: 

--> It is the same issue in all browsers.
--> I have tried to make a new list and export and import the form to that list. No result
--> I have disarmed the requirement for info in the field and re-activated it in the list settings. No result
--> I have changed the connection of NotesAndComments to the sharepoint list, and set it back to the correct column. No result. 

Please give me what ever input you have! I cant figure out what is going on!
All help is apprechiated!! Thank you very much!

"Checking License... Error checking license. Are you logged in as a user with SharePoint Administrator privileges?

and when I press a key, the installation is aborted. And I get the following error in the event viewer:

I have never seen this issue before although I have installed NW many times. The only specific things are :

- the server does not have access to the internet ( but I have installed NW2007 on server without internet access in the past and it was working fine)

- I'm connected to this server via a VPN web client (Citrix Web app) that starts the msts (RDP) automatically so I cannot specify to log in the server in console or admin mode.

- Note that I haven't installed sharepoint, it was done by the customer but the installation seems standard (Sharepoint enterprise 2010)

The root cause of the issue is probably some specificites to this customer particular environment but I don't see what it could be. So any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your help

Parallel actions after each one of the dynamic reviewers submit his task

January 13, 2014, 9:28 am

Dear,

The scenario is:

- There is a dynamic number  of reviewers and all must acknowledge and review the item

-  Every reviewer should acknowledge the reception of the form data (I used ToDO Task with custom form to let user acknowledge and send notification after respond to the task)

-  After each reviewer acknowledge the task she/he must start the review and don't wait others to acknowledge (How could this be designed by nintex?)

 Since ToDo wait all reviewers to respond to the acknowledge task, and could not add dynamic parallel branches to workflow at runtime I couldn't figure what the suitable design for this scenario

If it couldn't designed by designer, Does SDK helps in designing such scenario? Do I need a custom Todo task action?

I go through http://www.vadimtabakman.com/nintex-workflow-todo-task-parallel-processing.aspx

But it didn't fix my scenario since cannot add tasks at runtime
