re: Record Center / Information Management Policy Jobs Not Running

I ran into a similar problem myself at my current client site. The system's team installed the infrastructure updates, and one of those installer's borked the policies I had set.

re: Filtering Active Directory Accounts from People Picker

Not that I am aware of. You can use one of the stsadm commands to tell your people picker to only search the site collection list but this is backwards to what you are looking for. The other option would be to run some sort of script (Powershell, timer job) that cleans up the Users list but this probably not recommended if the user is still using that account (or was truelly selected) for a workflow.

Sorry.

Any idea on how to clear the non-AD list? The filter works great but any user that was selected in a workflow without an email address still appears.

The error would seem to indicate that you are missing the quotes around the filter query. Basically, it is trying to parse the query (hence the & error).

If you copied from the website instead of typing it, make sure they are quotes and not some other characters.

Thanks,

Eli

I tried your command as written (without the extra line feeds of course) and I get the following message:

& was unexpected at this time.

I have tried some variations on the filter, but I always get errors about parts of the fiter being unexpected.

Thoughts?

Hey Eli,

Wondeful post! I have a question that relates to what you did above: Is it possible to use the Reflector to mimic the Approval workflow and customize the approval buttons from; Approve, Reject, Cancel to Yes, No, True, False, and several other predefined buttons that all set to complete the workflow on click.

Just a note, you can just copy the .aspx and copy your "DataBind()" method into a "server-side" script.

You don't even need to change the inheritance.

That way you just have the .aspx to deploy and your make sure your [workflow.xml] the [InstantiationUrl] to point to your new page.

Hello, I am new to Sharepoint Design, but have developed part-time before. I am attempting to add some fields to the canned "Helpdesk.wsp" workflow process, which other than a couple of missing fields, I am very happy with it. First, I am having trouble finding the workflows I wish to modify. Second, once located, I need to know the simplest way to add the fields we desire. Third, I need to save and publish without losing the original flow as designed, in case we need to move forward with that instead. Thanks!

Hi, Good Works!!!

I implemeted the above in my portal. In my case, i am using the existing sharepoint approval. So i am retrieving the workflow's association data, modifying the approvers and starting the workflow during the check-in. During the checkin it goes to the workflow page, but none of my approver names were displayed it was blank. but if you see the list item, workflow was initiated and approver name also present there... I dont know how to resolve this problem as well as while starting a workflow i am receiving this exeception: Exception from HRESULT: 0x8102009B ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8102009B): Exception from HRESULT: 0x8102009B

Any words will be really helpful!!!

Sonu — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 05:10:33 GMT

It is such a nice article and i can able to fill the initiation form at run time.

But i have one query...

Can we prepopulate Association form at run time.

In my case, i'll be having a workflow which will be configured in two sites. In the approver field i am filling up the name of a site group, which is different in both the sites.

Is there any way to prefill the approvers field in association form with the group name depending on the site.

Is there any way to customize the Out of Box workflow where we can check if the modifier is same as approver? If they are then the workflow gives error that modifier cannot be same as Approver.

Thanks,

Hi Eli,

I am not able to understand where can i find the onload and DataBind methods.

Frankly speaking, i am not able to get how to follow the specified process.

Can you please explain more details?

Thanks,

The best way to do this is to search for the “inherits” attribute within the aspx page. You can find this attribute within the “Page” tag near the top of the aspx page.

It looks something like this.

<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.SettingsPage" MasterPageFile="~/_layouts/application.master" EnableViewState="false" EnableViewStateMac="false" %>

The “inherits” attribute will tell you the namespace and class that this application (aspx) page uses. Once you have this, you can defer what the dll is being used. In the example above, it is Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages. Therefore, you can open the Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages dll with Reflector and then navigate until you find a class that matches the inherits tag, in our example, SettingsPage.

HTH.

I just found the reflector on Lutz's website and installed it - wow! what a handy tool!

My question is this: How did you use it to analyze aspx pages? Are these pages compiled into a dll somewhere?

Eli-

Thanks for shedding some light on these mysterious "out of the box" aspx forms that come with MOSS! I was beginning to think it was a forbidden subject, because no-one to date seems to have said much about them.

I am building a custom ASSOCIATION form for a workflow created in WSS 3.0 (no MOSS) with Visual Studio 2005. My workflow forms were created with InfoPath 2007, are compiled into my workflow and have been published to Office Forms Server 2007.

I've modified workflow.xml file to use my custom aspx pages, have the InfoPath forms hosted in an XmlFormView control and everything deployed, but when I try to associate a workflow with my libraries I get an "unknown error" from SharePoint. I'm thinking either it's a syntax issue or I'm missing some code in my pages.

So my question: Do you know if anyone has run the Reflector and documented what these pages are supposed to contain? That would be helpful for those of us who are doing this from scratch and don't have the MOSS pages as a starting point.

Thanks in advance

vuong,

Some of the Infopath formsare actually located in the Feature folder called ReviewWorkflows and then in the Forms folder. Here is location on my machine...

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\ReviewWorkflows\Forms

Hope this is what you are looking for and that I am not too late ;)
