Error performing database operation. System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.

I have a workflow that uses an “Execute SQL” action to connect to an Oracle database that is failing after moving my SharePoint farm to a new server. The workflow used to work on the old server, but on the new one, I get this error: Error performing database operation. System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater. I just installed Oracle 12.2.0 client using the Oracle install procedure, but it’s still not working. Can someone assist?

Configuration error when setting up lookup control connected to a SharePoint lookup column

I faced a problem with the new designer lookup control when connecting it to a SharePoint column with lookup data type. The SharePoint column has already been configured with a list from which the data should be loaded and the specific column of that list from which the data should be pulled. The problem starts in the Form Designer, after you open the lookup properties – if you leave the lookup as it is (dropped from the side pane) then it will work without any error, but as soon as you open the properties of the lookup you get the error that the control has not been properly set up and in the properties you can see that the list and column properties are empty.Prior to opening the properties panel the lookup loads data successfully, only after you open it to change the name for example does the lookup not load data anymore and the error shows up. Is there a workaround to avoid encountering this type of error? ASC Lookup content type Lookup column settings ASC Content Type Lookup in

How to manually delegate a Flexi Task

We are using SharePoint 2016 on premise. In a list workflow, we have a Flexi Task that sends approval requests to multiple users that are part of different SharePoint Groups. Currently, Flexi Tasks sends approval requests, reminders, and the tasks get delegated to the administrator if there are no responses. We have the settings stored in the Flexi Task.We want to have control over delegation. In other words, we want the Flexi Task to send approval requests, reminders, but NOT escalate the task. Hence, want to turn off the escalation feature.We want the ability to manually delegate a task after all reminders have been sent out.I am the SharePoint Developer and did some research and investigation on this issue with no luck. Considered using the “Delegate workflow task” - https://help.nintex.com/en-us/nintex2010/help/workflow/RootCategory/Actions/Nintex.Workflow.DelegateTask.htm.Dropped that action item on my workflow to manually delegate task.But then discovered that this control requir

Form Runtime Function Replace text using regular expression not giving expected result

Am trying to clean up a PreferredName userProfileLookUp using the “Replace” runtime function in a calculated value control.The PreferredName comes in like Joe Smith (CompanyIdentifier - 6) where the content between the parenthesis can change. I want to just end up with Joe Smith.In a workflow, I use the Regular Expression action to Replace the text with nothing. The regular expression match I use is:$([^)]+)$Works flawlessly. But when I use the same regular expression in a calculated value:replace(userProfileLookup(Current User,"PreferredName"),"$([^)]+)$","") I end up with ) instead of Joe SmithAny suggestions on why the regular expression would be different?FYI - trying to avoid using JS on form if at all possible to enhance down the road support.

fn-IsMemberOfGroup with nested security groups not working

I’m using the fn-IsMemberOfGroup on a Nintex Form on a SharePoint Online list. The function doesn’t seem to work correctly with a SharePoint group that has security groups on it. It only seems to work correctly if we have individual names listed in that group. Is that by design? The use case here is that this SharePoint Online site is connected to a Microsoft 365 group, so “members” are getting added to the security group and not the SharePoint Online group. The SharePoint Online group only has one item in it: the security group that contains all of the members.

"Set Value" Form control not available

Hi all, I am using a Nintex responsive form and I’d like to create a rule so that the value of one control is set depending on the value of another named control (e.g. when Control 1 = “Yes”, Control 2 = “Approved”). However, my Control 2 field is a choice column with a dropdown and I do not see the option to create a “Set Value” rule. Is this type of control not available on this type of column? Are there any workarounds I can use? Thanks

Scheduled site workflows Run Twice

I am using Nintex workflows for SharePoint 2019. Recently I migrated from SP2013 to SP2019. I scheduled site workflow to run once a day. The job of workflow is to send email notification report every day. I am receiving the notification twice. To avoid double notification I tried the following actions. I deleted the schedule. Now, there is no schedule to run the workflow. Verified Nintex database, [WorkflowSchedule] table, there is no record related to the workflow. Workflow instance is also not started because i deleted schedule. verified central administration, i can see only one instance of “Nintex Workflow scheduler” job.Now i am receiving one notification. the question is from where this notification is triggered? Kindly suggest the points to find this.

Issue with form submit button redirect

Using Nintex forms 2019 on SharePoint 2019. I have a custom list with a form I built in NINTEX. On my save and submit button, I have added a redirect under Advanced at the bottom.For some reason, the URL keeps getting %0A appended to the end. I have cleared out the field and tried everything I can, but it still adds these three characters to the end of the URL resulting in a 404 error when the user gets redirected after submitting the form. I’ve also ensured there is no New Line character of any sort on the end of the URL.I think it could be added from Notepad which is what I used to format the URL first ??Any ideas?

How to set value of a yes/no or dropdown based on value of another control (responsive form)

I would like know how to have the SharePoint 2019 responsive form respond to the change in value of a dropdown control to update the value of another control, specifically of the yes/no or dropdown (with Yes and No as options) type. In responsive mode, it doesn't seem to support custom JavaScript (as classic would). I found 1 rule type that sets the value of a single line text box based on a dropdown, but I don't want the target to be free-form text, rather something selectable like yes/no or a dropdown.
