Problem with assign FlexiTask

February 13, 2013, 5:25 am

Hi all,

we have a workflow with the assign Flexi-Task action from Nintex 2010.
In 99% the workflow is working as expected... But sometimes the Workflow crashes during the assign Flexi-Task action.

We really don´t know why, because everything seems to be correct (variables and so on)... We enabled the verbose logging for this Workflow but also with that information we have no chance to get deeper into this problem...

Problem:
The task is shown as assigned to the correct person but the status is: completed and the outcome is: Not required
If you terminate this workflow and restart the workflow on the same item without any changes then it is working...

Any ideas what could be wrong here?

Hi,

We are facing this issue on Nintex workflow 2010 once it was activated in one of our site collections(This site collection is a migrated one). We are not able to publish workflows as it showed the below error saying that we dont have the permission

Error :You have not been allowed as a workflow designer on this teamsite. Contact your Administrator for access.

When I tried to access the "Allowed workflow Designers" its giving me access denied error even though I am having Site Collection Admin and Site Owner access in the site. Even our networks team is also getting access denied error using their farm account. Expecting your valid suggestions.

Thanks,

Recently installed a trail version of the Nintex tool on my dev server. Followed as per the instructions document and activiated the features across all site collections.

I'm able to see the Nintex option on Central Administration-->Site Actions-->  but not able to see the options when I go to my site and created a brand new list and want to create a new Nintex workflow but not available under Workflows. I'm using SharePoint 2010 environment.

What are the steps I need to take to get this showing under my site.

 

Thanks

"Date and time" variable behavior - addition of time zone difference

Can you please explain me "Date and time" variable behavior? It's casing me problems in many workflows. The main problem seems to be when I need to pass the value between two workflows using "Start workflow" action.

 

MOSS 2007 version: 12.0.0.6656, English version with Czech language pack
Nintex 2007 version: 11100
Time zone: GMT+1 (GMT+2 during daylight saving time)

 

Here are some scenarios to illustrate what happens to the time value when I call second workflow and pass the value as a "Start data". I print the result using "Log in the history list" action.

 

Scenario 1)

WF1 output:"Date and time" type, value: 1.1.2012 10:00
WF2 Start data: "Date and time" type, result: 1.1.2012 11:00 (1hr difference)

 

WF1 output:"Date and time" type, value: 17.4.2012 10:00 (date from daylight saving time interval)
WF2 Start data: "Date and time" type, result: 17.4.2012 12:00 (2hr difference)

 

Scenario 2)

WF1 output:"Date and time" type, value: 1.1.2012 10:00
WF2 Start data: "Text" type, value: 2012-01-01T10:00:00Z
WF2 Value converted to "Date and time" type using "Convert value" action (empty "Date format" paramter), result: 1.1.2012 11:00 (1hr difference)

 

WF1 output:"Date and time" type, value: 17.4.2012 10:00
WF2 Start data: "Text" type, value: 2012-04-17T10:00:00Z
WF2"Text" type converted to "Date and time" type using"Convert value" action (empty "Date format" parameter), result: 17.4.2012 12:00 (2hr difference)

 

Scenario 3)

WF1"Date and time" type converted to "Text" type using"Bild Dynamic String" action
WF1 output:"Text" type, value: 1.1.2012 10:00
WF2 Start data: "Date and time" type, result: 1.1.2012 11:00 (1hr difference, again 2hr difference if the date is from daylight saving time interval)

 

Scenario 4)

WF1"Date and time" type converted to "Text" type using"Bild Dynamic String" action
WF1 output:"Text" type, value: 1.1.2012 10:00
WF2 Start data: "Text" type, value: 1.1.2012 10:00
WF2"Text" type converted to "Date and time" type using"Convert value" action (empty "Date format" parameter), result: 1.1.2012 10:00 (CORRECT)


Never makes any difference if I try to set values to Local or UTC time using"Calculate date" action. Tried on both sides - WF1 output value and WF2 input value.

 

Is the scenario 4 the only way how to correctly pass values between workflows? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Why do UDA variables interfere when called from for-each loop? Is it a bug?

February 13, 2013, 1:36 pm
$

A have a UDA that accepts one parameter X and uses one variable Y internally. It does 3 activities only:

  1. Logs content of a variable Y to workflow log (should be always blank)
  2. Assigns parameter X to variable Y
  3. Repeats Step 1 (logs variable Y that now should have the same content as variable X)

 To our horror we observed that:

  1. If we have the UDA placed twice in a workflow all works as expected (Step 1 logs an empty content in both runs)
  2. If we have the same UDA called twice from a foreach loop in a workflow it works differently (Step 1 logs an empty content in the first run BUT then it logs content from the first one in the second run). The data is basically not cleared and we have data from outside the scope of the current UDA run.

Has this been identified as a bug? Is there a plan to resolve it?

Thanks and Regards,

Geza

Error processing XML - (404) Not found

February 12, 2013, 12:15 pm

Hello,

I wrote a workflow that creates a new document set when a new item in a list has been created. This workflow works as designed. Recently I updated the document set library to automatically create an InfoPath form when the document set is created, independently of the workflow. I am trying to revise my existing workflow to use the Update XML action that will update a field in the form based on information already being used to name the document set. But I keep getting the message "Error processing XML - (404) Not found."

I assumed there might be an issue with trying to update the form before it had been created. I tried using a Commit pending changes action and also a Pause for... action before the Update XML action but neither solved the problem. My URL path is written correctly, and I tested this out by pointing to another copy of the form that was created manually in another document set. Still I receive this error message.

So what exactly does "Not found" mean?

Thanks,

Rob

Getting ListID for newly created list

February 13, 2013, 5:08 pm

I've gone through existing posts on here and nothing is helping me so far, so I'm hoping you all can give me a hand.

I'm building a workflow that will run on a document set and create an Issues List using part of the document set title in the name. I want to then update a hyperlink column on my document set with a link to the issues list that was created. So far my workflow is doing the following:

1. Create the Issue List (title of list is - Review List: {ItemProprety:Title}) -- my list is being created successfully so no issue here. I tried updating the current item and setting the hyperlink but the URL of the issues list is getting cut off, so I can't do it this way, I have to get the ListID.

2. Using a Call Web Service using Lists.asmx and the GetList method and storing the result in a single line variable called "xmlresult". I wanted to see what the XML was returning so I emailed myself with xmlresult in the body of the email and I don't see XML...I see something like the following:

0;#Approved1;#Rejected2;#Pending3;#Draft4;#Scheduled0

Edit

1

1

New

Selected

Normal

" id="

" Url="

" DRef="

" Perm="

4. I created a Query XML action using my xmlresult as the source and if I return //@ID I get a list of all guids in my site. 

 

I'm just wondering what I'm doing wrong here.  I looked through another forum post at http://connect.nintex.com/forums/thread/17761.aspx but this didn't help me.

Can anyone point me in a direction of what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!

    Initiator's Display Name

    Hi all,

     

    Using Nintex 2010 workflows for PWA2010 project types, I’d like to capture the person who clicks SUBMIT to progress through our workflows.

     

    Using the “Set Project Stage” action I added the predefined variable “Initiator’s Display Name” as the Message to log on completion (Common tab).  Unfortunately this returns “System Account” at every pass when viewed in PWA via the Additional Workflow Data link.  

     

    How do I return the actual name of the person who clicked Submit? 

     

    Thanks in advance….

    Force Workflow Field Value to PWA Custom Field

    February 12, 2013, 1:39 pm

    Hi all,

    This should be really simple…

    I’m using Nintext 2010 + PWA 2010 for workflow driven enterprise project types.

    Here’s my situation: I'm trying to set a custom field in PWA to be one of two values based on a key word in the Enterprise Project Type Names. For example, we have four Enterprise Project Types, some having 'Project' in the name and others having 'Work Order' in the name. I want to simply return Project or Work Order as a general bucket for filtering purposes.

    I’m sure there’s several ways to do this, but so far I’ve failed from the custom field side where I was attempting to read the workflow phase and generate a simple IF formula from that. Now I’m hoping the workflow can simply push the value to a PWA custom field but so far I've not been successful. For example, each workflow would have a variable set to either "Project" or "Work Order" and that would be pushed to the PWA custom field.

    So my question: What action do I use in Nintext to write this key word to a custom field in PWA?  Is there a way to do it "cleanly" so that a project check-in is not required for the field to write?

    I'm also open to other suggestions on how to do this; again it should be really simple. I’ve posted on Technet but not much of a response.

    Thanks in advance...

    Hi,

    I'm building an approval workflow that will show an overview of all comments to the initiator. The problem is: when I insert the "Query List"-action the option "Store results in" is not shown. Is this a known issue in Nintex WF2010? Because, without this option you simply cannot use the action.

    Workflow stuck in state machine, but not sure where

    We currently have a running workflow that seems to be stuck in a state machine. This workflow goes through a list on concurrers and assigns tasks to them one at a time. This particular document has 10 concurrers, but after the 2nd person approved their task the workflow stopped doing anything. Below is a copy of the workflow history. I replaced the users names with their role in the workflow. When we view the graphical detail, we are unable to see exactly where it's stuck since we hid the dirty work from the users view. I tried adding attachments of the graphical view and our complete workflow, but the site says I don't have permissions to do that. On a side note, I've noticed that we've been having more issues since we upgraded our Nintex; we are now on Nintex 2007(11200). We're hoping maybe there is a way to get more insight on where the workflow is having issues and ideally we would not like to restart the workflow since it's been in the works for 2 months. I also took a look at the logs and could not find anything regarding this task. Thank you for your time and any help you can provide.

    Previous versions of reusable workflow templates appear to be executed by workflow.asmx

    I'm using the Nintexworkflow/workflow.asmx web service to start a workflow using the fileUrl and workflowName. This secondary workflow is using a site collection reusable workflow template, attached to the library using the OOTB workflow settings.

    This process works well and is used to execute a reusable publishing workflow (across farms) on documents that the initial workflow deems publishable.

    The issue I am having is that if I update/republish the reusable workflow template, although the workflows are updated on the libraries that are subscribed to them the previous version of the workflow seems to be executed by the initial workflow.

    If I remove the previous versions of the reusable workflow in the libraries workflow version history and restart the initial workflow things work as expected but I means that the advantages of maintaining these workflows with a reusable template is lost as I need to go through each library and clean them up each time.

    I would have assumed that previous versions of the workflow wouldn't be used, even if they share the same workflow name and certainly wouldn't be able to be executed if they are set to 'no new instances', but that seems to be happening.
