Hi everyone

I have issue in WorkFlow :

I'm using Sharepoint Designer create Workflow, when i save sitetemplate (include content) and deploy to another server then get error meessage "Failed to start WorkFlow" after create item
This is log file in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\LOGS"

"RunWorkflow: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: <Error><CompilerError Line="0" Column="0" Text="Activity 'ID13' validation failed: Can not find the condition &quot;__Rule_ID13&quot;." /><CompilerError Line="0" Column="0" Text="Activity 'ID26' validation failed: Can not find the condition &quot;__Rule_ID26&quot;." /><CompilerError Line="0" Column="0" Text="Activity 'ID38' validation failed: Can not find the condition &quot;__Rule_ID38&quot;." /><CompilerError Line="0" Column="0" Text="Activity 'ID48' validation failed: Can not find the condition &quot;__Rule_ID48&quot;." /></Error>     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPNoCodeXomlCompiler.LoadXomlAssembly(String assmNameIn, SPWeb web)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWinOeHostServices.CreateInstance(Guid trackingId, SPWorkflow workflow...     
 at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWinOeEngine.RunWorkflow(Guid trackingId, SPWorkflowHostService host, SPWorkflow workflow, Collection`1 events, TimeSpan timeOut)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowManager.RunWorkflowElev(SPWorkflow originalWorkflow, SPWorkflow workflow, Collection`1 events, SPRunWorkflowOptions runOptions)     "

Sorry
this is environment that i work

Window Sharepoint Services v3.0
Sharepoint Designer 2007

Hmmmmm...

Without checking a couple of facts, I suspect the following:

Creating a WF against a list/library in a site and then saving a site template using the UI might have issues with mapping GUID's, ie the GUID of the list in the original site is not the same as the one created from the site template.

Custom site definitions with Features would potentially be a better appraoch.

Hi MattGroves

Thank for your reply
but issue not occur because of Sharepoint Designer automatic add braket into List's GUID when create WF

Example : List's GUID in Site : 096E05F8 - 3726-4f08-91D0-933BC8DD7931
List's GUID in WF  : {096E05F8 - 3726-4f08-91D0-933BC8DD7931}

then when create new site base on sitetemplate it is automatic mapping GUID

Hi Phuongth,

Did you get any soluution for this problem?

The only solution which I know right now is opening the workflow in SPD and go till finish step. It starts working.

But not possible to do so in Production environment.

Hi Shirish

I find this solution before I post issue, but when deploy to customer i can not using Sharepoint Designer ( because of  SharepointDesigner's licence on customer's server)

Solution

 1.       Open your site in SharePoint Designer

2.       Expand the “Workflows” folder, and the folder containing the workflow you want to fix

3.       Right-click on the file that ends in “xoml.wfconfig.xml”

4.       Choose “Open With” -> “SharePoint Designer (Open as XML)”

5.       Look for the “RulesVersion” attribute

6.       Change its value to “V1.0”

7.       Save the xml file

If you modify the workflow again, you’ll have to change the “RulesVersion” attribute again before saving as an STP as changing the workflow increments this attribute value which has to be reset to “V1.0”.

Thanks for this post Shirish!  You saved our project!  MS should update their bug database with this information as to save others time in the future until it is fixed (sp2???).

Hello,

We came upon this issue after having a workflow happily working for over a year. Why would this become and issue all of a sudden? And what the WFVersion actully do....

We seem to have fixed our issue, but would love to know why.

Thanks for any light you can shed.
