MOSS 2007 workflows no longer available/Visible when we upgrade from 2007 to 2010(Database Attach method)

Technorati Tags: workflow 2007 migrated

Symptom

After upgrading the SharePoint 2007 Database via database attach method to SharePoint 2010 we might observe 

· The 2007 Approval workflows were no longer available/Visible for users to create new workflows

Cause

· In SharePoint 2010 the 2007 workflows are there to allow any running workflows to complete, but by default creating new instances of the workflows is disabled as the expectations are that you will want to move forward to the SharePoint 2010 workflows.

Resolution

1- The following steps must be taken to enable 2007 workflows after upgrading to SharePoint 2010:

· Go to Site Actions ->Site Settings->Site Collection Administration->Site collection features

· Activate ‘SharePoint 2007 Workflows’

· Remove ‘none’ from <AssociationCategories>none</AssociationCategories>

· 14\template\features\ReviewWorkflows\Reviewapproval.xml

· 14\template\features\ReviewWorkflows\ReviewFeedback.xml

· 14\template\features\SignatureWorkflow\Signatures.xml

· Associate Workflow

· Go to Shared Documents, Library Settings, Add a Workflow

· Select legacy Workflow.

 

Note : Please take a back up of Reviewapproval.xml,ReviewFeedback.xml,Signatures.xml before doing the modification, the above solution is not verfied after we install any new update.. chances are there that these files might get replaced in future update.. please have a backup of working files as well.

    The instruction in the Resolution section is not clear. Are you saying you need to remove "none" from all 3 XML files?

    Hi David, After editing the xml files you must do an iisreset.
