Forms - How to see which workflow initiated?

Forms Workflow
Updated February 26, 2020
asked on February 24, 2020 • Show version history

I am assisting with troubleshooting a combined workflow and forms process. I can see here that Workflow started the process, but how do I view that workflow without the name of the workflow?

They built hundreds of workflows, so I will need the specific name of the workflow to proceed.

I tried searching for workflows that started on that start date and time, but no workflows were started then, of course there is not requirement that the workflow that initiates a forms process starts at the same time that the process is started. So I am stuck on how to access this workflow to assist them.

Forms doesn't record which workflow initiate the process. The only information that may help is at what time Workflow called Forms to start the process, you can search for "/forms/api/BusinessProcess/{ProcessId}/Instance" from the IIS logs under C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1(The time in the log is in UTC time). You can get the {ProcessId} from the first number in the URL when open the process diagram.

This is really odd. Forms says that Workflow started the process, but there is no record in any of the IIS files around that day. Regardless of any time differences. I searched the files in notepad for the instance ID and it doesn't exist. There are other instances referenced but not this one.

There is also no workflows starting at the time when the Forms process was initiated and I can not search by when specific types of activities run to get an accurate search, since technically a workflow could start a week before actually calling forms.

I really can't help them find their lost workflow unless I know the name, start time, or some specific thing about the workflow. They have about 400 workflows.

Finally found the workflow that initiates and made a note in the Forms Process
