Additional Workflow Data in Project Server Workflow empty


I am trying to build a Project Server workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013.

The workflow itself is working. It can create a task in the Project Server task list and approving it progresses the workflow.

However, if you click "Additional Workflow Data" the history is always empty. I have been able to create a custom event to log in the history via designer, but I am looking for the true history of the workflow. In 2010, the history would show it entering each stage and other logging data. My 2013 workflow history shows nothing.

I have verified the account has permissions to write to the list. I have checked the IIS logs to see the workflows are running. I have checked the project server permissions and groups for the workflow proxy account. I have ensured "Workflows can use app permissions" is activated for the PWA collection. I have also tried "Copy-SPActivitesToWorkflowService" cmd to see if it needed to installation needed to be repaired. I have restarted the workflows, republished, bounced the boxes, but still not workflow history!!

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue or have other suggestions on where to look?


Solution

  • The sticking point comes from a differences in versions.

    In Project Server 2010, the workflows showed default actions and processes. In 2013, you cannot see all the various behind-the-scenes actions.

    Any actions which you want to be able to trace, for example, when the project entered the stage, must be added into the custom workflow manually.
