Hello everyone and a happy new year,

I'd like to experiment with the "Search query"-Workflow Action in Nintex Workflows 2016 but when I open the dialog, I get this error message: 211950_pastedImage_1.png

I already looked up in the Nintex Configuration pages in the Central Administration and for manuals in the Nintex database but I didn't find a hint. Also the help for this dialog in general is more than poor... :-(

Frank Field Do you have any tech paper for me?

Can anybody help and give a hand what I have to setup to remove the errormessage and get the current managed property list?

Greetings from Nuremberg

Thanks to our database admin we found out that it is necessary to give owner-permissions on the search-database to the service account for the webapplication. The error has been fetched in the trace-log so we got a clue where to look:

SqlError: 'Cannot open database "SP_DEV_F1_Service_Search" requested by the login. The login failed.'

After setting this permission, the dialog works like desired:

db_owner must be overkill. There's a role defined in the database just for that: SPSearchDBAdmin. Quite likely a finer set of permissions like db_datareader would also work.

db_datareader didn't work but changing the permission from db_owner to SPSearchDBAdmin like you said did the trick. Thanks a lot!
