SHAREPOINT DESIGNER START APPROVAL PROCESS ISSUE

Environment entities:
-Windows server 2008 R2
-SQL server 2008
-SharePoint Server 2010 with SP1
-Client: Windows 7 + IE7.0

Problem Description: In SharePoint designer 2010, whenever I use the “Start Approval Process” action on new or existing workflows and try to publish it, it’s throwing the following error.

Error Message#1: Loading this assembly would produce a different grant set from other instances. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131401)
Checked the SharePoint logs and found the following error:

Error Message#2: Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.

Right from the beginning Microsoft is playing a very important role in publishing knowledge base article which are very useful for the whole community.

As per this article, we can increase this default value to 7000 by using the following command:

$app = get-spwebapplication http://portal.sharepoint2010.com

$app.UserDefinedWorkflowMaximumComplexity = 7000

$app.Update ()

Again the best practices are saying we need to take every step by considering the farm performance as the maximum limit is 10000 and you cannot increase more than that so it’s better if we restructure our workflows with respect to reusability.

If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know. If you have any additional resolution or valuable inputs which would be useful for the whole SharePoint community then please share…


Thank you.

Can I send Email Alerts From SharePoint 2010 To Distribution Lists

Yes we can send Email alerts From SharePoint 2010 To Distribution Lists.

How ?

The answer is First you need to convert the DL into a security group for the DL to get resolved in Sharepoint . As Sharepoint doesnt recognise DL`s

After that is done .

1. Log in to your SharePoint site and navigate to Site Actions > Site Permissions

2. Add this distribution list to the site as a member of an existing SharePoint permission   
    group . you can give Read permissions no Higher permissions needed .

3. Navigate to Settings > Group Settings and make sure that the following is true

  • Who can view the membership of the group: Everyone.
  • Group permissions level: at least,Read permissions

  • 4.  Navigate to the library or list and click Library (List) > Tools > Set alert on this library (list)

    5.  Add the distribution list in the field Send alerts to

    The alerts now will be sent to the members of this distribution list.
