Question

I have a staging environment where I restored a Production backup file. The site works fine. However when I deploy my custom SP 2013 workflow and activate the workflow feature, I get the below mentioned error in my ULS logs.

UserAgent not available, file operations may not be optimized.

Any suggestions to fix the error? Where should I start?

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

I did find a solution.. However I don't know how practical it is. This is what I did:

  1. Installed Visual Studio 2012 on my Staging. Updated it with 'Update 4'.
  2. Installed office tool for VS 2012.
  3. Got the work flow code and deployed it via Visual Studio. (And the deployment worked).
  4. Retracted the solution via Visual Studio.
  5. Added the .wsp files manually via STSADM command and activated the features successfully.

Since it was the staging environment, I had the liberty of rebooting the server many times.

Update I guess Visual Studio irons out the configuration kinks that we face. Not a pretty solution at all. But hey it does the job!

OTHER TIPS

Try recreating State Service Application by executing following script:

$serviceApp = New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name "State Service"

New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name "StateServiceDatabase" -ServiceApplication $serviceApp

New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name "State Service Proxy" -ServiceApplication $serviceApp -DefaultProxyGroup

Try to Flush the BLOB cache.

$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication "<WebApplicationURL>"
[Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingCache]::FlushBlobCache($webApp)
Write-Host "Flushed the BLOB cache for:" $webApp

Flush the BLOB cache
