  • 1.  Auto Start Workflow not starting

    Posted Feb 28, 2010 04:20 PM
    I have an autostart workflow that looks at a report based on Monitor Solution rules and then opens a helpdesk ticket.  The report looks at the time the event happened and based on the event the autostart workflow is supposed to fire.  I have the schedule set for every day in intervals of 20 minutes.  When I run the project within the debugger with a valid entry in the report, it creates a ticket. 

    I put some email components in the project but outside of the debugger it appears that the project doesn't even start.  I published out the project, see it in IIS, and then stopped and restarted the Logicebase service. 

    Can anyone give me some insight as to what I need to do to get this to work?
    Thanks

    Hey Ben S, I had the same issue that you had. What you need to do for auto start projects is to make sure you enable anonymous in the directory security in IIS and then restart the Worklfow server extensions. This should register the project with Workflow and start it as scheduled.

    What I also did to make sure it ran was to put start and finish emails in the project to make sure it runs properly and then delete them after it worked.

    i had enabled anonymous access and used a domain admin account and restarted the LogiceBase service.  I just did it again so we'll see what happens today or tonight.  That was the only thing you that you needed to do?  Wow - I have been trying to get this to work outside the debugger off and on for about 2 weeks.
    Thanks

    The schedule data type was the issue.  Seemed it only worked with an "Every Day Pattern".  Go figure.
