Exporting and Importing the Sharepoint Designer Reusable Workflow

Steps to Export the Designer Workflow

1.Open the Site in sharepoint Designer

2.Click on Workflow and select your Reusable workflow that you want to export.

3.On the Ribbon , You can see “Save As Template” option. Click on that. In my case I am trying to export “Employee Workflow” As shown in the Screenshot.


4.WSP for that Workflow will be created and it will get stored in SiteAssets.


5.Go to your site and open site assets(Site action->All Site content->Site Assets under Document Libraries. Download the Workflow WSP from the site Assets to your local drive.

Steps to Import the Designer workflow

1.Go to the site where you want to import the workflow .

2.Then go to Site Action->Site Settings->Click on “Solutions” under Galleries.

3.Upload the Exported WSP and activate the solution.

4.Then you need to go to site action--> Site Settings-->Manage Site features.

5.Check for a feature that starts with “Workflow template < Your Exported Workflow name>” And activate that feature.

6.Now its all set. Workflow is imported.

You can add the workflow to any List/Library by going to List/Library setting and click on add workflow. You will see that your workflow is there in the list as shown below.



 Cheers !!! :)

The SPListItem provided is not compatible with a Publishing Page

Problem description:
I was facing this error while submitting information via list view webpart, additionally problems with the check-in – checkout functionality.

Note:
If you find a different solution, please report it as a comment to this post. Be sure to double-verify it: undo your solution and verify that the problem comes back, then redo it and verify that the problem goes away.

Error message:
The SPListItem provided is not compatible with a Publishing Page

ULS Logs Findings:
System.ArgumentException: Invalid SPListItem. The SPListItem provided is not compatible with a Publishing Page.    at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingPage.GetPublishingPage(SPListItem sourceListItem)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.WebControls.PublishingPageStateControl.RaisePostBackEventForPageRouting(String eventArgument, SPRibbonCommandHandler control, RaisePostBackEventDelegate raisePostBackEventDelegate)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.WebControls.PublishingPageCheckinHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument)     at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument)     at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)b3c1032c-e249-4879-82f6-02e4b3db028c

Troubleshooting done:
o   Checked the ULS logs
o   Tried changing the master page but didn’t resolves the issue
o   Checked with different templates but that also showed the same error message
o   Tried replicating on different web application but same results i.e. same error!

As you can see the error message itself saying that there is some relation with the publishing functionality so what you can do to resolve this issue? Here are the details.

Resolution#1:
1.   Open your SharePoint site
2.   Site actions
3.   Site Settings
4.   Manage site features
5.   Deactivate “Publishing Infrastructure” feature – scope is WEB

Once that done, we need to repeat the same steps at the site level (scope is different)
1.   Site ->Site actions->Site settings
2.   Site collection administration
3.   Site collection features
4.   Deactivate “Publishing Infrastructure” feature
Bottom line: we have deactivated “Publishing Infrastructure” feature at the web as well as site level.

Now, let’s re-activate the same feature one by one (order will be different this time) i.e. site scope first and then web scope.

If the above steps don't resolves the issues then please use the following script to resolve it.

Resolution#2:
$web = get-spweb "http://site-collection/URL-of-the-problem-site"
$correctId = $web.Lists["Pages"].ID
$web.AllProperties["__PagesListId"] = $correctId.ToString()
$web.Update()
$web.AllProperties["__PublishingFeatureActivated"] = "True"
$web.Update()

That’s it – done!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 issue, Thank you.
