Getting error while running workflow.

replied on March 20, 2015 • Show version history

When setting forms to initiate a workflow from a service task object in the process modeler, starting conditions are not used so you can remove those as it may be causing it to fire later from the save to repository action but workflow wouldn't have the appropriate information from forms thus giving that error message if started that way.

Let me know if that does the trick otherwise we'll look at forms/workflow configurations outside that specific process pictured above.

Cheers!

I am getting the same error but I have no such starting conditions. I am retrieving business process valuables to fill out a pdf form.

I have this workflow being called from Forms but it never seems to start. Once the form is submitted I have it sent to a repository, that service task works fine but the service task that calls the workflow doesn't seem to fire.

The event viewer log on the Forms server should give you more indication on what went wrong. It doesn't look like the same issue as the original post.

I think I may not fully understand this and maybe I need to describe what I am looking to do as I may be missing steps in the process.

I have a form that will be created through Forms and then places into a repository. I would then like to fill out a template pdf with the fields from the submitted form and place it in a folder.

Am I missing steps as right now I have only two.

How did you determine that the workflow has not started? Did you try searching for instances in the Workflow Designer?

Since your workflow starts from Forms, you will need to add a Create Entry activity to create the document, then, after you fill out the PDF, you need to use Attach Electronic Document to set the PDF on the entry you created.

Thank you after your input I made changes and I see results that the forms process initiates the workflow and I see two documents being created, the forms document and another from the "create entry" activity. However the create entry document that gets created is empty and doesn't seem to be picking up the master pdf document that I have on the LAserfiche Server.

I'm sorry, I got my activity order wrong. They should be the other way around:
