Error: Could not start workflow - In Publisher Instace

Hi All,

      We have implemented a custom workflow step (Process Step) by implementing WorkflowProcess and overriding the execute method with our functionality.

We created a work flow model and added the above created process step. When we run/start the work flow model, by selecting the payload path, it is successfully running in Author instance.

But in Publisher instance, when we try to run/start the workflow model, we are getting Error: Could not start workflow error. And we are not seeing any obvious errors in publisher logs.

We also observed, even other built-in workflows we are not able to run/start in publisher instance.

Is there any specific config or access levels we have to change to run the workflow models in publisher instance ?

 

Thanks in advance, looking for immediate help!

 

Regards

Sreeni

Hi Sreeni,

You must have covered this already, have you checked if the workflows are not disabled for your publish instance?

Thanks

Thanks Tuhin! It is active.

And also we observed, an access level difference in author and publisher on /etc/workflow as shown below

Author:

 

Publisher:

 

 

We tried changing the access level in publisher similar to author, but still not able to run the workflow.

As said by askdctm ,please create custom log with DEBUG mode if not tried this option.

And also if you share the Process implementation class then we can check and help any.

Thanks,

Kishore


Please check the permission on the workflow node (/etc/workflow), or try logging in as admin, It should work usually in publish instance as well.

I had the same problem, so here are the steps I followed and it resolved the issue: 

1. Log into AEM as an Admin

2. Go to Users

3. Select the Groups/Users to which you want give permission to execute workflows.

4. Go to Permission tab.

5. Go to etc/workflows give them modify, create and delete permission. 

now log back into the AEM as a that user and try to execute that workflow. It should work fine
