    Hi All,

    I have plugin A which fires a workflow by updating an attribute. This workflow update another attribute on the same entity to fire Plugin B.

    Now, Plugin A is fine Workflow is fine but Plugin B is not getting triggered.

    Thanks

    Plugin B is registered on post-operation and Filtering attribute is set to the one getting updated in workflow.

    I have attached to process from Visual studio it does not even come into to the code at all. (to check if it is failing because of Depth)

    Thanks

    Hi Hassan,

    1.  Please check if you have context.depth used in your plugin. - since plugin b trigger happens from workflow the depth with be higher.

    2. Also please check if yuu are attaching to the right process - workflows are run from sandbox processing based on isolation?, best, try to throw an exception from plugin B to see if the code is executing.

    Regards,

    Jitesh,

    for 1. I am checking depth in my plugin.

    For 2. I am attaching to all w3wp process because plugins execute under this process not CRMASync process which is for Custom workflow activities.

    Thanks

    Hi Hassan,

     did you check for system job to see if the workflow is triggering? there would be a workflow expansion task if the workflow is executed - (unless you checked the checkbox to remove them on success.

    Please check that. It is also possible that the ASync is not running. I am sure you might have checked these, but just outlining the possible issues - since this is unexpected behavior.

    Regards,

    Jithesh,

    Thank you.

    Yes Async service running, System job is executing and it is updating the field too. The plugin B is not firing.

    I found one post regarding CRM 4 with the same issue suggesting update the field in child workflow. I have done this too. Even child workflow is not firing the plugin thanks
