Hi all.  Is there any reference material for Workflow error messages?  I'm building some simple workflow routines which send emails and some are working, some aren't.  I can't make head or tail of this error message: Exception Type : System.Exception Message: (Dialog Workflow DialogWorkflowComponent) - Execution Engine Exception Stack Trace (inner exception) Execution Engine Exception at LogicBase.Core.ExecutionEngine.AbstractExecutionEngine.RunEngine() at LogicBase.Core.ExecutionEngine.AbstractExecutionEngine.ExecuteComponent(IData data, IOrchestrationComponent comp) at LogicBase.Core.Models.EmbeddedDecisionModel.EmbeddedDecisionModelExecutionEngine.Run(IData data) at LogicBase.Core.Models.EmbeddedDecisionModel.EmbeddedDecisionModelDataType.Run(IData data) at LogicBase.Core.AbstractEnsembleWorkflowComponent.Start(String taskID, String workflowID, IData data) at LogicBase.Core.Models.Workflow.WorkflowDelegate.Execute(IData data, IOrchestrationComponent comp, String...

I have a collection of data that I am trying to filter within an Ajax Dynamic Update Panel Component The first Drop down list has all of the 'Materials' in it        The second list has all of the "Manufacturers' that make that material. So far so good!                 The third drop down list has all the 'Colors' of that Material made by the selected Manufacturer. Based on the selection in the 'Manufacturers' drop list  The  Materials and Manufacturers drop lists have the 'Post Form on Value Change' set to True but for some reason the Color drop list is only reading off of the 'Materials' selection. I have used a Dynamic Model to filter through the collection of items to appear on each drop list and the workflow is sound.  Is there a limit to the number of Drop Lists that can Post the form (or Panel)? Am I losing ThisForm data when I am Posting? I have even placed Ascii labels under each Drop list to...

Anybody have any ideas on this? I have a user defined type that has a couple of text propeties.   I have a dynamic update panel with the following inside it: I have a webform that has two text boxes on it.  Both have Post Form on Value Change checked.  I also have an embedded action button and a grid below it. The embedded action button has an action model that takes the values entered in the text boxes and add them to the collection of the user defined type.  The grid displays the value of that collection. When I enter something in the text boxes and then click the embedded action button nothing happens.  but when I press it again the grid displays the data entered.  It looks as if when I click the embedded action button the post back is firing and does not fire the action model.   I have tried adding java script that on leave focus of the text box it fires a postback, but I can't get that to work. Anybody had any luck...

I'm configuring a system that will be highly utilized by a large enterprise. I consulted with the Installation and Configuration guide but still have a question. Can/should the Process Manager be installed on a separate server from the Workflow server in a high throughput environment? Currently the proposed environment is: ·         Off box SQL server with a separate instance for our use ·         32 bit server for SMP 7/Workflow Solution ·         64 bit server for Workflow Server (and process manager?) ·         32 bit Workflow Designer machine

I am trying to do custom validation on a Gridview and a Checkbox.   What I want to do is to force a user to either :   Select at least one item in the Gridview OR Check a checkbox to indicate that the desired item was not in the list   The output variable from the GridView "SelectedSoftware" is null if nothing is selected from the Gridview. When I try to display SelectedSoftware.Count using a Display Content component I get "you cannot perform an array function on a null object".   Is there a way I can determine if nothing is selected in the GridView

If any of you have deployed a workflow or webform to your end users, you've inevitably received a call complaining that the site is "not working". After some digging, you come to find out the users started the form from a bookmark, thus causing the problem. When a user bookmarks a page in a workflow, IE invariably adds the "composerform.aspx?Session=xxxxxxx" data to the URL. Since the bookmark contains a session variable, it will throw an error the next time a user attempts to use it. To solve this, I've implemented a simple Java script that will create a bookmark with the proper URL. This only works for IE (sorry Firefox users!). First, edit the first webform the user sees and add this to the Script section: var urlAddress = "http://YOURURLHERE"; var pageName = "Name For Favorites List"; function addToFavorites() { if (window.external) { window.external.AddFavorite(urlAddress,pageName) } else { alert("Sorry...

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!   Tom

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
