Hello,

Have you checked the host server or event viewer logs? Were there any errors during the time you attempted to trigger the workflow? It'd be hard to narrow down the issue without much info but here are a couple of things you might want to check:

1. SharePoint15Starter assembly missing from the K2HostServer.exe.config file:

2. The SP15EventService application is not running under the K2 webservice identity

3. RemoteEventService.svc not accessible

Hi Amit_P,

 

Just wondering did you ever find a solution to this? I also want to start a workflow when a file has been emailed to a document library - it works ok when I manually upload the file but not if its emailed.

Ciara

Hi ,

 

I also encounter such problem.

Do we have any news for this ?

 

Thanks

I am facing the same issue.

 

I verified all the settings and configuration as suggested in each post.

 

1. HTTP Activation: Already activated

           I am able to access the web service (RemoteEventService.svc)

 

2. "SharePoint15ProcessStarter” assembly missing : Already present in K2HostServer.exe.config file.

 

Please suggest any solution if anyone found the resolution for this issue.

Please check the Event Viewer > Applications and Services Logs > K2 category, usually workflow that starts on event receivers will log error/information in this location. 


 


Please also check if the user submitting the item have Start rights on the workflow.

Hi,


 


Could you re-check if the RemoteEventService.svc can be accessed from each SP server (i.e. SharePoint wfesWFEs). When SP events such as item added/updated are started, these must be picked up by SP wfes. If the events send to a wfe that can't access the remote event receiver url, then it's going to be a problem.


I would also suggest checking the [Eventbus].[ClientRecorderError] table if you still can't find any error messages from K2 event log. 


 

I had the same issue. I have reconfigured K2 running setup.exe from installed folder. The issue is fixed now.
