Today
one of our business owners has reported their workflows are failing. It’s quite
strange as I am taking care of the infrastructure and no changes has made
recently i.e. no language packs, no patch upgrade, no third party software
installation so I wasn’t sure what exactly happened and their workflows have
started failing.
Before
checking anything, I have restarted the SharePoint Timer Service to make sure
everything is working properly as workflows jobs are dependent on it but that didn’t
result into any success. So finally I started looking into ULS logs by hoping
will get something very concrete which will guide me in right direction towards
resolution and I was damn right!
Here are the
findings:
