I am new to Workflow 7 and I would like to know how to use the DataGrid compponent in the Web Form editor. I am trying to set up a grid that will have 4 columns where data can be entered. I am unclear on how to set this up. I have taken a look at the help for the component and I am not sure how to select the data type. All the values in the rows for each column will be text values.

Does anyone know how to split the Date and Time from the DateTimePickerComponent? I tried using the Split Text Into Collection component but it seems to only displays the first and last parts to choose from and looking at the variable in the debugger, it shows there are three items in an array.
[0] Date
[1] Time
[2] AM/PM
After using the Split Text Into Collection component only Date and AM/PM is available from that variable. I tried coverting the DateTimePickerComponent to a string and parsing it but that doesn't work either. I've also tried setting the Delimiter to Space as well as Other with a space but that doesn't fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a VBscript that runs in a workflow using the execute batch file component. Within the VBscript I use the following line to execute a small powershell script.
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run("powershell.exe -noprofile -command D:\temp\DataAreaCreate.ps1" & " " & "'" & DataArea & "'" & " " & readDL & " " & updateDL)
The VBscript runs fine without the Powershell script when pubished. When I run the vbscript in debug mode and call the Powershell script it executes fine. The problem I have is when I Publish the workflow - the Powershell Script fails to execute and there is no exception fired off.
So it works fine in Debug mode but not when Published.
Anyone have any ideas?

So I'm trying something very basic and I've run into a wall.
After a couple hours of hunting and pecking I assume I must be missing something easy.
I want to use the AddComputerToCollection component and that works fine when I hard code in a resource GUID.
However, from a user perspective, I want them to key in a machine name. From there I need to do a lookup in Workflow for the appropriate GUID so I can then run AddComputerToCollection.
How in the jelly do I retrieve the GUID for a user inputted computer name?!
Orrr...add a resource by name (instead of GUID) to a collection.

Hi, I have a few questions regarding customizing (editing) the default SD Packages.
1. I edited the assignment rule in SD.Feeder.TechnicianIncidentForm so that by default every incident will get routed to a specified group (other than support 1). I've added the group in Application Property as a new User Group. I didn't edit anything in Submit Incident Advanced component. The problem I'm facing is that I got this user comment in Process View:
"An Error Has Occured in the send customer email start process"
Also, when the incident is created, it didn't send email notification to the submitter and the assignee. I wonder which part I did wrong as I didn't even edit the core Incident Management workflow.
2. It is stated in SD Customization Guide that if you want to edit the core ITIL processes, you have to add space whithin the name. So does that mean it will overwrite the current process if I publish it? I'd like to...

I would like to take a string a user enters into a form, match that string with the value in a cell in a spreadsheet, and return the value of another cell in the same row of the spreadsheet. Example – user wants to request access to a shared network folder. User needs to input the path to the folder. User does not need to know the owner of the folder, but owner names are also stored in the spreadsheet. All shared network paths (and their associated owners) are manually maintained from the worksheet (yikes, I know), so when the user inputting into the form inputs the path to the folder that they want to access, I would like to return the name of the owner of the folder, whose name would be in the same row, different column.
Thanks in advance
Brian

I have a form in a basic workflow that I would like to allow the user to clear the form and start over. I had done this before with an "empty" embedded model where on the end component, in the configuration tab, it allows you to assign values to the textbox fields defined in the form. However in mine I don't see any values - the tab says "No Data Mappings To Edit". I know the variables can be seen, becuase I can browse data on the end component. I just can't remember how to make the variables visable in the configuration tab.
Thanks in advance-
Brian

I have a software request workflow were I am using a grid to display (Software Name, Cost, Selectable) and right now I have the grid being populated from SQL and the 'Cost' is coming in as a number and I would like to add a $ to the start of all of the fields under 'Cost'. Is there a way that I am missing to format a grid or am I better off figuring it out in SQL?

I'm currently creating a webform and have certain options display when clicking certain checkboxes. Each option is under a different section of the form. The issue is when I created the form, the objects were laid out in a way where you would need to scroll down the whole form to see all the options. What happens is if you click box to display some options they still appear all the way down the form and don't slide up where the user can see them. Is there a way to make the objects that become visible once checking a box appear towards the top fo the page, rather than where they were laid out in design view? Or is this not possible with Workflow 6.5.
I know this may sound confusing...so I know there might be questions!

Hello Workflow-ers,
We're preparing to head down the road to goodness that is Workflow, and are looking at getting training before we implement (what a crazy thought huh?). I was wondering if any of you had been through the Symantec Workflow training (either classroom, onsite, or even the web training) and if so, could you share your thoughts? Did you attend WF6 or WF7 training? Is it so easy that we don't even need training (I doubt it!)?
Thanks for your time.

I've created a workflow that calls batch files to execute vb scripts to do administrative tasks. The workflow works great in debug mode. The issue I have in workflow 6.5 is when I publish the workflow it fails immediately when opened. I know this is probably a permissions issue when executing the scripts. My question is how do I configure the workflow to run under a administrator account so that the batch files can execute? Do I do this in IIS or is there somewhere inside of workflow that I set this?

I'm getting an "Unknown file format" error when my process hits the "HTMLtoPDF Component". I'm using this component to pass a few variables from the process into a PDF file I need to later attach to an email. I tried this on my local machine in the debugger and when published on the Workflow server where I know PDF file types are registered. Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

I encountered an issue that I never saw before in the fact that existing tasks disappear from the wofkflowmanagement.aspx screen after I made a change to some of the emails in the project. There were 3-4 tasks sitting in the queue but now there are none. Is there another place to check to see if the process is still running as I would rather not have to have to tell the users they have to resubmit the form. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I'm working on a workflow that will allow a user to reserve a conference room by creating an appointment directly in that resource's calendar. So far, I have been able to create an appointment in my own calendar, but not that of the conference room. The conference room's calendar is set to automatically accept any requests, which is why I'm puzzled that it's not working. I'm a domain admin, so for now I'm using my own credentials to connect to AD/Exchange. Any guidance or best practice tips related to these two components would be greatly appreciated. - Thanks

Does anyone know if there is Select All - Clear All functionality in the GridViewComponent?
Or maybe a DoPostBack syntax that would allow this type functionality?

So, I need to do something like this: A user enters the page, and sees a drop down list of numbers. If the select 1, then a row of text fields appear below, ready for input. If they select 3, then 3 rows appear, ready for input. I obviously can code this with javascript, but i need the forms to be recognizable by the form builder and I need to be able to submit that data, whether 1 row or 20 rows into a database (using an integration component). Anyone have an idea how to make these dynamically created (and dynamically named) rows?

While running a Workflow application recently developed, a problem manifested itself in a couple of different ways. There was first an error:
"Server was unable to process request.--->Object Reference not set to an instance of an Object"
Also, no matter how I varied the input information into the application, the result set always matched the result set that I had obtained the first time I ran the program. It would change if I closed and restarted the Workflow session, or republished the application to the server, and ran it again. But once running, it did not matter how many different iterations of input data I provided, the result set was the same, and that was frustrating.
Upon further review of my project, and specifically a linked workflow model inside of my project, it was discovered that there were two potential culprits for this behavior.
The first culprit was found within the properties of the linked model, specifically the "Use...

The Super User Group in Cleveland on October 2, 2009 was a SUPER success!
We had approximately 100 customers in attendance from at least 5 User Groups: Cleveland, Columbus, Michigan, Pittsburgh, and Rochester. Surprisingly, there wasn't anyone there from Hawaii or Australia. Maybe next time.

I'm trying to use an Excel Generator in an Integration project. Everything seems to work properly (it shows the number of data rows and displays the column headers), but when I use the DynamicClassRead component for this library in a workflow, I get a Buffer error:
Error Message:
Buffer cannot be null. Parameter name: buffer
I cannot find any referece to "buffer" anywhere in the Workflow or in the Integration project. I have tried changing a few of the advanced settings, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks.
