I am currently using AEM 6.5 and trying to create a new launcher by navigating to tools>workflows>launcher>create>add launcher . When i enter all the required data i see an error dialog with (Node with path /conf/global/settings/workflow/launcher/config does not exist.)

@AEMnewbie,

I can definitely replicate your situation.

The resolution here is simple, to make sure the sling:Folder structure exists under /conf/global/settings/workflow/launcher/config (illustrated below):

A simple fix is to create the exact structure above, as you see in the screenshot. In case if you've completely deleted the /conf/global folder, I've created a content package that you can download & install which has the exact setup as in the screenshot above; if you would like to re-setup the structure, you can go straight to http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/configurations/content/view.html/conf, to create the initial structure off /conf/global, but you must go into crx/de to complete the structure, by creating more sling:Folder nodes.

Good luck!

Did the user have access to create Workflow launchers, check the permissions of the User.
Try creating the launcher in Vanilla AEM instance.

This seems the permission issue, if permissions are fine check the logs get more details and provide it here.

Could you please try creating nodes(sling:Folder) at conf /conf/global/settings/workflow/launcher/config

It may be required before creating launchers.

Anyways you have to deploy this launcher vai code so nodes needs to be created. so no harm to create manually.

Hello @arunpatidar ..I tried that but it still fails to create it. Now when i try to create the launcher i see

Caused by: org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.api.CommitFailedException: OakConstraint0001: /conf/global/settings/workflow/launcher/config[[nt:folder]]: No matching definition found for child node -237933618 with effective type [cq:WorkflowLauncher]

Hi,

Vijayalakshmi_S · 9/24/20

Hi @AEMnewbie,

Can you try the below

Create a package with filter - /conf/global/settings/workflow/launcher/config (where there is no child nodes under config - Like empty launcher config filter)from one of your local instance
In your problematic instance,
- Create a backup with same filter
- Install the empty launcher config package built from other instance (the one from step 1)
- Navigate to Workflow -> Launchers console -> Try creating one -> See if POST call to /libs/cq/workflow/launcher is 200

@Vijayalakshmi_S Nah!! All the instances that i have access to , they all have the same issue

@BrianKasingli..I created the launcher and the config folder at the same location but that still gives me an error ..When i used the package that was shared ..It works.. Trying to find out what exactly is missing in my setting. I want to try it without using the package ..

Steps i tried

This path was already existing /conf/global/settings/workflow in my instance

I went ahead and created the launcher folder and then a config folder under it .. But that doesn't work

BrianKasingli · 9/25/20

It seems like when you manually created your own structure, something went missing. Thats perfect, you can start with the structure that Is provided in the package that I prepared for you... This structure was created apart of a fresh instance of an AEM author.
