Colliding workflows

February 25, 2014, 10:44 am
$

We have a workflow that runs on a Document Set (SharePoint 2010), that iterates through each document in the document set and updates the status to “In Review”. I have another workflow that runs conditionally on each document when the Status is modified to = “In Review”.

 

We are experiencing some collision here, where the logs are indicating that recursive workflows are not permitted, saying that the workflow that modifies the status is still running when it’s trying to kick off the workflow that begins conditionally.

 

Is there a better way to do this? Because the second workflow runs on a conditional value, I would have expected the first workflow to be complete prior to the second workflow running, but it seems that’s not the case.

 

Essentially, the need is to be able to start one workflow on the document set that kicks off a separate workflow for each of the documents located within that document set. But, I need to wait for the first workflow to end prior to starting the second workflow. The Start Workflow action doesn’t seem to be a viable option because it would only start the workflow on the document set, I wouldn’t be able to start it on each of the documents.

 

Any assistance or ideas are appreciated!

Hi

I recently installed Nintex Workflow 2013 (3.0.0.6 & 3.0.0.5) on sharepoint 2013 in both Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012

I deployed nintex and activated it for a web application and try to create a nintex workflow for a list in this web application.

using both IE11 and Chrome 31 I tried to drag and drop or insert an action (for example: Assign Flexi task or ...) and when I want to use the drop-down menu on it to configure it (or double clicking on it), nothing happens!

in IE i get no errors in console but in chrome when new nintex workflow page opens, developers console show two errors:

  • Uncaught ReferenceError: push_GetXmlDoc is not defined MainScript.js??3060:3199
  • Uncaught ReferenceError: DisplayCategoriesForLanguage is not definedSelectTemplate.aspx?IsDlg=1:873

    • interesting thing that happens is in IE, when I save a workflow, and the reopen it, everything works!!

    I don't know what I am missing during installation or configuring of both sharepoint or nintex!

    Please help

    I am trying to activate a feature using the rest api within SP 2013..

    I can  get the form digest from the site without issue however, when i try to post using web request i receive this error:

     

    Specified value has invalid non-ASCII characters.

    Parameter name: name

     

    There is no payload within the message, everything is encoded within the url. I have tried the same call using another rest client, and it works without issue. The only thing i can guess is that somehow the values are being encoded randomly before being sent to the endpoint without me realising.

    I created a Flexi Task with 4 outcomes. But whenever a user tries to open the task (thru email or UI), we get the error bellow. 
     
    System.ArgumentException: Het item bestaat niet. Mogelijk is het door een andere gebruiker verwijderd.

    The odd thing about this is when I login with a Site Collection Admin and try the same, everything works fine.
    There must be a permission conflict somewhere, but we can't find where and what.
     
    Please advice, this is a thorn in the eye and slows down our project.

    Performance issues after splitting a workflow into smaller sequential workflows

    Hi,

    I have a big complex workflow which works correctly for my business requirements. However to make it easier to understand, support and maintain, I am trying to split it up into smaller separate workflows which are then called sequentially. 

    The problem I am having is that the 1 big overall workflow runs very quickly (in under 30 seconds). After splitting it into 10 separate workflows, it takes approx 40 minutes to run the overall workflow. 

    The way I am calling my 10 individual workflows is by having an overall "Parent" workflow, which is just a sequence of "Start Workflow" tasks. In each of these tasks I have ticked the option for "Wait for the workflow to complete before continuing". I do not have any "Pause" actions in any of the workflows, however I do have a number of "Commit pending changes" actions after updating values in lists.

     Can anybody please suggest why splitting my workflow into multiple smaller workflows should take so much longer?

     Cheers!

    Unable to insert integer or date fields with Execute SQL

    I must be missing something.

    I'm using the Execute SQL task to insert a record into a database table.  Everything works fine as long as my values are strings but I have one int and one datetime field that fail no matter what I try.

    If I put single quotes around my value I get the following error:

    Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '{ItemProperty:Relationship}' to data type int.

    However, if I remove the single quotes I get this:

    Incorrect syntax near 'ItemProperty:'.

    My full query looks like this

    INSERT INTO dbo.BlitzData (BlitzName, ReferringEmployee, EmployeeLocation, CompanyName, LastName, FirstName, JobTitle, telephone1, Address1, Address2, City, State, PostalCode, HowDoYouKnowReferral, Description, ReferralDate)
    VALUES ('Business Blitz 2013', '{ItemProperty:Employee}','{ItemProperty:Employee_x0020_Location}','{ItemProperty:Business_x0020_Name}', '{ItemProperty:Contact_x0020_Last_x0020_Name}', '{ItemProperty:Contact_x0020_First_x0020_Name}', '{ItemProperty:Contact_x0020_Title}', '{ItemProperty:Contact_x0020_Phone}', '{ItemProperty:Contact_x0020_Address_x0020_1}', '{ItemProperty:Contact_x0020_Address_x0020_2}', '{ItemProperty:City}','{ItemProperty:State}','{ItemProperty:Postal_x0020_Code}',{ItemProperty:Relationship},'{ItemProperty:Description0}', {ItemProperty:ReferralDate})

    giving workflow temporary contribute permissions to update a list

    Hi,

     We have a list (List A) where a user completes a quiz and receives a score.  The user is given a custom permission to do this (includes add items, edit items, view items, open items, view versions, ad view application pages).  A Nintex workflow runs on List A to grade the quiz.

    We have another list (List B) that we would like to update according to what happens on List A.  So if a user completes the quiz in List A correctly then we would like for the workflow to upgrade List B stating that the quiz was completed.

    We can get this to work but only when we give all users contribute permission on List B.  The problem is we don't want people to manually have the ability to edit List B because they could change there quiz status.  List B should be read only but if we make it read only then the workflow will not run correctly.

    How do we deal with this problem?

     Thanks,

    Hi All,

       I can't seem to parse the XML with Query XML. Here's the WS response. I need to be able to parse the ID and Desciption values.
    I have tried to wrap the response with <XML>. What's the correct <XML> namespace to use ?

            </Deal>
          </FindAllDealsResult>
        </FindAllDealsResponse>
      </s:Body>
    </s:Envelope>

    XPath that I used didn't work-  

    "/s:Envelope/s:Body/defaultNS:FindAllDealsResponse/defaultNS:FindAllDealsResult/defaultNS:Deal/defaultNS:Id".
    "/s:Envelope/s:Body/defaultNS:FindAllDealsResponse/defaultNS:FindAllDealsResult/defaultNS:Deal/defaultNS:Description"

    When I ran the Query XML action, the entire soap response is output instead of the the ID or Description.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    We found this free add-on for Internet Exploer the other day called IE7 Pro.

    Among many other things it allows you to screen capture a web page that scrolls over multiple pages to a single image.

    Well done to the developers at http://www.ie7pro.com/

    EDIT: 29 April 2008: Please note, there is a known issue and workaround with this add-on.  When dragging and dropping actions in the Nintex Workflow 2007 designer, a new tab is opened displaying only the icon of the action.

    To get around this, you need to disable the ‘Super Drag and Drop’ and ‘Open New Tab in background’ options.
