Workflow Soluiton

I have an auto start from email project that watches for a specific email to hit an email inbox.  I can open the project in debug and send a test email and it works just fine.  I can watch it go all the way through the project like it is supposed to.  But, when I close the the bugger it quits working.  Any ideas?  

If it's not working in publishing, it's usually a problem with authentication or scheduling configuration. It may be one or more of the following, but likely the schedule.

Try:

• Make sure your schedule is set the way you want it (I set mine to 00:01:00 to test)
• Unchecking the checkbox for "Do not process escalations and timeouts"
• Setting the value for "Web Authentication Type" to "Anonymous"
• Setting the value in your web.config file for your project: <authentication mode="None" />
• Then republish your project.
• Finally, Restart Server Extensions for workflow (from the task tray tool)

Let me know if you need help with any of these items.

All of these were already set except I can not find 

• Unchecking the checkbox for "Do not process escalations and timeouts"

The strange this is that it worked just fine for a while.  Then of a sudden it just stopped and nothing had changed.

Do Not Process Timeouts is in LocalMachineInfo... or you can get to it via the Task Tray Tool

Found it and it was already unchecked.

How is your schedule configured?  Every Day -> Interval? If so, what is the timer on it?

Every day interval (00:01:00).  The thing is it used to work.

If you aren't concerned with potentially aborting some of your auto-starts that may be stuck in the queue, then it may help to:

• delete the specific project directory in IIS
• in workflow designer for your project - Plugins -> Reset Cache
• iisreset
• restart workflow extensions
• reload project (close and reopen)
• republish your project
• iisreset
• restart workflow extensions

then give it a shot.  if this doesn't do anything, then it's likely a configuration issue and not a busted piece of workflow clogged in the gears someplace. 

if you still can't get it working, let me know if you want to have a webex session and i'll take half an hour to look at it.

Hi,

I performed a procedure that also deletes the temporary folder in the directory : C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\ Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files. Erasing the temporary project file .To achieve delete the directory it is necessary that the IIS is stopped or Application Pool of project is stopped.
