Whenever an activity in Forms is suspended the details are posted in the local event viewer application log of the Forms Server. It should tell you what is wrong there. It is likely a problem communicating with the Workflow web server http://servername/workflow, you can visit the site in a browser to see if there are any problems.

From the server type "Event Viewer" into the Start Menu Search box. Choose "Event Viewer". The application log is under Windows Logs.

In Workflow Designer there is a common search called "Today's Workflows". If you don't see an instance of your workflow in there then it was never called.

You can search in the Workflow Designer to see if an instance started. Given that the task is suspended in Forms, it probably did not get as far as starting the workflow.

Actually workflow is not triggered in this case,what are the possible reasons which workflow is not triggered from forms?

I have given Workflow name in Laserfiche Workflow service task properties and 'wait until workflow finishes before proceeding' is also checked.

Have you looked in the Event Viewer like Chad suggested? Usually, the more common reason for this situation is that Forms is not set up correctly with a Workflow server (in the Forms Configuration page).
