Hello everyone,
Background Info:
I have two SharePoint farms:
1. Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 & SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 & SharePoint 2013 Server.
2. Windows Server 2012 Datacenter & SQL Server 2012 Enterprise & SharePoint 2013 Server.
On the first farm, I've managed to install, configure and deploy Workflow 2013 Platform.
On the Second farm and using the same steps in the first farm, I did not succeed.
Steps I've taken (Logged in as SP_Admin account):
1. I've created an "App Management" Service Application in SharePoint Central Administration. SP Account used for that was "SP_Admin". Then I made sure that the App Management SharePoint service and Windows Service are on.
2. I've downloaded Workflow Manager 1.0 from Microsoft website and I've installed:
Workflow Manager 1.0.
- Service Bus 1.0.
- And Workflow Client 1.0.
3. I've configured the workflow service using the configuration wizard at the end of the Workflow Manager setup. And I made sure that the ports that were used for HTTP, HTTPS, TCP connections, etc. Are open, I've made firewall rules for these ports to be allowed ingoing and outgoing bounds. And I've checked that they are open using PowerShell and the command "netstat -an". Configuration was completed 100% no errors.
4. Then I went to Windows services and made sure all the following services are set to automatic start and running:
- Application Management.
- Forefront Identity Manager Service.
- Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service.
- Service Bus Gateway.
- Service Bus Message Broker.
- Windows Fabric Host Service.
- Workflow Manager Backend.
5. Then I went to SP Central Administration\Application Management\Manage Service Applications: And I checked that the "Workflow Service Application Proxy" is created and it's status is "Workflow is connected".
6. Then I went to my site collection home page, clicked site settings: then chose "Site Collection Features" and turned on all workflow related features.
7. I remained in the site collection site settings: then chose "Manage Site features" and I turned on all workflow related features.
8. Then I went to SharePoint Management Shell, ran it as an administrator and I registered the workflow service to my site collection using:
"Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite 'https://sppc/sites/demo' -WorkflowHostUri 'http://sppc:12291' -AllowOAuthHttp -Force"
Workflow Host is : sppc. Workflow http port is 12291.
9. I created a list based workflow 2013 platform using SharePoint Designer 2013, a simple "Log on History" 1 stage workflow. I saved it and published it successfully to a custom list in the "demo" site collection.
I went back to my site collection, I started a new item in that custom list. After item creation I started my workflow and I got the error popup message:
"Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow."
Steps I've tried to fix it:
1. Creating a new site collection and registering workflow service to it.
2. Reconfigure Workflow and Service bus with different ports.
3. Reinstalling Workflow Manager, Service Bus, and Workflow Client.
4. Removing Workflow Manager, Service Bus, Workflow Client, and Windows Fabric, and reinstalling them again.
But nothing worked. I apologize for the long post, but the amount of info here should be enough to stop the time-consuming back and forth questions about what I've done or tried etc.
PS: Workflow 2010 Platform is working well.
Thank you ahead.
