    Hello Everyone,

    Our setup: Windows 2003 Enterprise, SQL 2005, CRM 4.0 - All on 1 box in a test environment.

    I am having difficulty publishing workflows. I've created a simple workflow using the wizard, that sets Service Activity to completed status. I can create and then subsequently save the workflow, however I attempt to publish this workflow    , I receive the following error:

    "An error occured when the worksflow was being created. Try to save the worksflow again."

    The following events are logged in the application log as well.

    I have recycled the App Pool, restarted the asynch service and have done IISREST, multiple times. Doesn't seem to do anything. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    we had this problem ... it was update rollup.

    it was fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the update rollup
    extract the exe file
    run  setup.exe /? (i cant remember the exact name)
    it shows you the uninstall option.

    uninstall then reinstall and problem goes away like magic.
    apparently its because of some lines mising on the web.config file.

    Hi,

    is it applied to "Service Activity" workflow only ? is it possible to test with other entities, other simple entities, to make sure that the workflow is failed only for particular entity only.

    You can check also at the Settings -> System Job and see whether there's any failed workflow.

    hope this helps,

    hadi teo.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response.

    No it is not applies only to service activity. I have tries to create other simple workflows to test, but all have the same result, with the same error logs.

    I have also checked the system jobs as you asked, and I have not workflow jobs listed at all.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks!

    I am having this issue as well.  I was just trying to make a change to an existing workflow by unpublishing it, adding a step, and then publishing it again.  As you say, saving works fine, publishing fails.

     

    Anxious to here a solution to this one ...

    Hello!

     

    I noticed the error you had and received something similar with Microsoft Office in the past.  This may be totally un-related as I see you have an administrator account, but installing Microsoft Office, or sometimes even using components like visio, excel etc. with a user account that has limited access/rights caused this error to come up for me.  The answer I got was to re-install office with a user acccount with more rights.  It seemed that certain applicaiton may try to access resources/directories that need users with greater priviledges.

     

    Long story short, that worked, not sure if that's anything related.  Finally, could you turn tracing on and see if you get a more descriptive error?  I'd be curious to see what that says...

    You can try rollup update 1

     

    http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/2008/12/23/update-rollup-1-for-microsoft-dynamics-crm-4-0.aspx

     

    Also see worklfow publish rights either you have rights to publish or not.

     

    If still issue, repair

    Hi Robert,

    Just a quick question about your link.. is this an update for Rollup 2?  When rollup2 was released, we installed it and it fixed alot of issues but then I started having the same issues as everyone else in the past few weeks.  I have all rights to CRM to do whatever and my co-workers have been getting frequent error messages when trying to do tasks that they performed without a problem in the past.

    Has anyone found any resolution to this?

    Thank you!
