Here we go with another new issue and easy resolutions & workarounds…
This time,
the issue was with Nintex workflows at the time of activating a site collection
feature. Let me describe the details in step by step so that it will be easy recognize
as well as understand…
Problem Description:
Problem activating
Site Feature. While activating the ‘Nintex workflow 2010’ at the site
collection level, we faced the following error message:
Error Message:
An unexpected error has occurred.
Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
Correlation ID: XXXXX
Troubleshooting Steps:
1)
Most
imp regarding any exceptions: SharePoint logs (\14\logs)-specifically if we
face “unexpected error”
2)
Windows
event logs
3)
If
we have a correlation id then it’s very easy to find out the exact error
message
After reviewing
the SP logs, this is what I found:
Exception was thrown while ensuring dependencies met for feature
'NintexWorkflow' (id: 0561d315-d5db-4736-929e-26da142812c5):
Nintex.Workflow.NWFeatureActivatingException: Nintex.Workflow.NW2007DatabaseConnectionException:
Failed to open a connection to the Nintex Workflow configuration database.
---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "NW2007WFDB"
requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'Contoso\Administrator'.
What we need to target first in such conditions:
1. What
exactly the app pool identity is used by that web application? Does it have
sufficient rights/not?
2. The
Nintex database has a role called WSS_Content_Application_Pools. This is the
group that we need to add the app pool identity to
·
SQL SERVER
·
SharePoint_Config
·
Security
·
Users
·
The account which is running the app pool of
the web application
·
Right Click-Properties
·
General
·
Database role membership
Resolution:
I have added this group named as WSS_Content_Application_Pools
to the APP POOL identity and that it. It worked and issue has been successfully
resolved…
If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned
information then please let me know.
I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your
issues…
Thank you.
