Question

I am using SharePoint Server 2013 And I need to create a workflow using SharePoint designer 2013. I created 2013 workflow attached to a list and it doesn't contain any errors. However, I am not able to publish it. I am receiving an error.

Any ideas?

Workflow Error

I did some researches and they required to check if the workflow management site has the port 12991, but I didn't even find it!

IIS

Was it helpful?

Solution

Did you install Workflow manager ?

OTHER TIPS

I experienced the same issue before. and actually, the workflow was had errors but it was not visible!

So I did the following to show the errors:

  • Save and close your workflow.
  • Try to open it again.
  • Click on Check for Errors button from your ribbon.
  • All errors should now be visible.

If the issue still not solved, so try to clear the cache and update the SharePoint Designer as mentioned at Clear SharePoint Designer Cache

If the issue still persists, so try to follow the mentioned instructions at Workflow Manager Health Checklist.

You can also check other root causes and more details at The Workflow contains errors, but they are not visible in the current view

In the end, you may also need to check the workflow manager configuration as mentioned at

I finally uninstall the Workflow management Server, I followed the article https://sharepointinaction.wordpress.com/2014/01/27/uninstallingremoving-sharepoint-2013-workflow-manager-farm/
Then, I reinstall it again from scratch in both servers since I have a multi Farm server using the article that @M.Qassas gave me. Make sure that when you go to central administration, click on your Web App and then connections in the ribbon, the workflow service proxy and the user profile service are checked.
