For those getting the error... System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined. at System.Uri.CreateThis(String uri, Boolean dontEscape, UriKind uriKind) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite..ctor(String requestUrl) at DP.Sharepoint.Workflow. Try changing the URL to the internal server name of your sharepoint server if you can. This worked for me.

Rated 1 Stars (out of 5) - This would be wonderful if it worked on SharePoint 2010 Server, it does not install on mine. It requires SharePoint Service 3.0 which, since we are using Sharpoint Server 2010, is not necessary. If anyone has a suggestion, I would be very appreciative.

Created Unassigned: Grant Permissions not working on Sharepoint List [17432]

Hello:

I have a list in Sharepoint called Checkin that is limited to Managers only. BUT, if the manager creates an item and fills in the notify employee field, then it starts an spd2007 workflow that should Grant Permission to the employee Employee (EE) Name using the field name from out Active directory ie: directoryname/username and allow them to view the dispform.aspx

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have tried Grant Read Permission on CheckIn to ChecIn:Employee (EE) Name and Grant Contribute Permission on CheckIn to ChecIn:Employee (EE) Name


When the employees receives the email and clicks on the link
Click<a href=" http://networkname/SiteDirectory/SiteName/Lists/Check%20In/DispForm.aspx?ID=[%CheckIN:ID%]&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fnetworkname%2FSiteDirectory%FSiteName%2FLists%2FCheck%2520In%2FAllItems%2Easpx">HERE to view the Form</a>
they get an error message from Sharepoint saying they don't have permission to access the site!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dawn

Commented Unassigned: Failed to install Custom Workflow Activities (0.5.0 Alpha version) on Sharepoint 2010 farm with multiple web servers [16960]

I tried to install the Custom Workflow Activities on Sharepoint 2010 farm with multiple web servers and did not install. DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.wsp shows error in solution store. I have 2 web servers and one 1 application server in my server farm. However SharePoint designer 2010 workflow shows all Custom Workflow Activities but nothing happens when i try to use any of the available custom activity.

I am trying to use the "Copy List Item Extended Activity" to copy list item from one site list to another site list. Custom Workflow Activities works fine on single/standalone Sharepoint server but not on multiple web servers.

Please help.

Thanks.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: FinderJO **

Unfortunately we see the same behavior in our environment:
* on a single box (test env) the activities work fine
* in the production farm the activities are visible in SPD but we cannot insert them

Who can help to solve the issue?

I have the same problem as Dave Shaffer with workaround, I quote: "Here's the GUI workaround I've used to Update list items on another site, not just copy or move a list item. I have identical lists on site A and on site B. (referred to as lists A and B respectively) I want changes made to list A reflected (updated) on List B. We know the "Copy List Item Extended" activity can only COPY or Move list items between sites, it cannot UPDATE..... it cannot overwrite list items. We also know that SharePoint Designer has an option called "Update List Item" that can update lists ONLY if they are on the same site. I didn't connect the dots until I was driving home from work. When I got back to the office the next day, this is what I did.................. I created another identical list (List C). I created the list on Site B (where list B resides(the one I want to update)) and used the "Copy list Item Extended" in one workflow to COPY the list item from list A to C. (Now I have identical list items on A and C) Since List C is on the same site as list B I can start another workflow but this time on list C, which uses the "update list item" in SPD to UPDATE my final destination list (List B) As soon as C updates B the workflow deletes the list item from list C. I'm using a common ID related column to identify the same item in all lists to ensure the correct list item receives the update. It works great with one exception and maybe someone here has the answer. The workflow on list C doesn't fire using "when new item is created" or "whenever an item is changed" because list items COPIED into another list doesn't trigger the workflow." Is there a solution for this issue?

New Post: How do you determine which workflows have used the Useful SharePoint Designer Custom Workflow Activities solution?

I work with an organization that is planning a sharepoint 2013 migration. They have decided that they will NOT use the Useful SharePoint Designer Custom Workflow Activities solution.

So, we have a couple of questions:
  1. Will the workflows that have utilize these custom workflow activities stop working if we do not install the .wsp on the new SharePoint 2013 farm?
  2. Is there an easy way to determine which of the 1000 or more workflows use the custom workflow activities?

I installed the wsp file via powershell because I did not want to install SharePoint services on my server. I only have the production environment and was not comfortable installing during business hours. I do not see any of the features listed in the Action dropdown. I dont see responses from the author to questions/issues/discussions..... Anyone have any suggestions??

Hi everyone, i am eager to find is it possible, with this Custom Workflow Activities, to stop workflow 1 in workflow 2?

For example, i am starting workflow 2 and after 1 day and some 'if' expression it must stop workflow 1, which were already running.

Will it be possible?

See step 4 in the installation instruction: If you have a non-english installation of sharepoint, you need to copy DPWorkflow.ACTIONS from [SP HiVE]\TEMPLATE\1033\Workflow to [SP HiVE]\TEMPLATE\"YOUR LCID"\Workflow

We've added en deployed the .wsp, edit the web.config, copied DPWorkflow.actions and so on. Now we can add the custom workflow tasks in SP2013. Many thanks for that!
But after migration from SP2010 to SP2013 (both foundation) the existing workflows with the custom tasks in it keep saying: Could not deserialize object. The type 'DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.SendEmailExtended' could not be resolved.
Now I'll have to rewrite all of my workflows with the custom tasks in it (>150). Is there a better way to do this?
I added en deployed the .wsp before mounting and upgrading the content database.

Thank you in advance!

Maybe start all over.
This how it works for me:
  • Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath c:\DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.wsp
  • install-spsolution -identity dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp -AllWebApplications -GACDeployment -CompatibilityLevel 15 -force
  • Backup C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\web.config
  • Open C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\web.config
  • Replace under <SafeControls> the three lines with assembly="DP.Sharepoint.Workflow, with these three lines:
<SafeControl Assembly="DP.Sharepoint.Workflow, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0298457208daed83" Namespace="DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.InfoPath" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />

  • Add under <authorizedTypes>
    <targetFx version="v4.0">
    these three lines:

  • Run IISRESET
  • Optional: Reboot server
Only problem I have is that after the migration from SP2010 to SP2013 (both foundation) the existing workflows with the custom tasks in it keep saying: Could not deserialize object. The type 'DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.SendEmailExtended' could not be resolved.
But I can add the custom tasks in the workflows
