Could not find the configuration file associated with the workflow

We are using Teamsite 6.7.1 and using Workflow Modeller to create workflows.
Unfortunately our company just gets to do the development whereas all admin related activities is done by another company.
They have not setup Workflow modeller to work with Teamsite
which means that the save to Teamsite feature does not work.

These are the things that we have done
We have placed the .ipm file in our Models folder.
We have created a workflowname_config folder and placed our workflowname_config.xml file there.
We have also added our entries in available_templates.cfg
We have also placed our available_models.xml file in the internal folder.
When we try to assign a job to the workflow, we are getting an error
"Could not find the configuration file associated with the workflow : Workflow name "

Please help

For my WF called test001 I follow all the steps as you mentioned
and when I save the WF directly to the TS Server I get the following structure:

\\ts-server\iw-wa\Models\test001.ipm
\\ts-server\iw-wa\Config\test001_config\default_config.xml
\\ts-server\iw-wa\Config\
\\ts-server\iw-wa\Instance\
\\ts-server\iw-wa\Internal\
Also
\\ts-server\IWServer\iwadmin\main\workflowModels\WORKAREA\iw-wa

Can you have your IT Guys install WFM on the Teamsite Server ?
Did you submit your "workflowname" WF from CCPro to create an Edition ?

No I did not submit the file to staging.
Should that be done ??
WFM is a client application right. Why then the need to install it on teamsite server

There is no need to have WFM on the Server .My intention was just to to compare my working Env. with yours .

Are you working Offline and are you able to login to the TeamSite Server through the WFM Client ?
Can you have the IT Staff of "Other company" install WFM on the teamsite server or any other client in the smae network and see if thye can login and work "online" on the Teamsite Server i.e Save a Dummy WF online ?
Just create a dummyWF and save it on the server skipping the validation part.

Yes, I am working offline.
I cannot ask them to do something like that.
All I can ask them is to give them the files, which they will be deploying.
I just want to know, what config files need to be changed or created when i use Workflow Modeller offline.

I've already mentioned the files above that'll be typically associate with any WF created in WFM .

Now the first thing that comes to my mind about your manual approach of copying offline created by a WFM client is "Permission Issues" .

What user,role on sol/win box are they trying to copy these files under \\ts-server\iw-wa . ?

you need the below files on the /iwadmin/main/workflowModels branch STAGING

Models\****.ipm
Config\****_config\default_config.xml

So yes, you have to submit these files to STAGING before you can use the workflow model.

your issue seems to be with default_config.xml file of the Workflow model missing in the STAGING. Probably you have not submitted the file to Staging or you have used a wrong directory name to store that file.

To be clear the ipm file should be stored under the Models directory.

The default_config.xml file should be stored in Config directory under a subdirectory like ****_config as in the above case.

Could you please also let me know what changes need to be made in the default_config.cfg file?

moonkhanna

the WFM Is not able to find the file in Staging. You only need to submit it to Staging. No Changes are required as default_config.xml is created by the WFM itself. Even if you are using a custom instantiation for your WFM, you still need to have default_config in STAGING

moonkhanna

Could you please also let me know what changes need to be made in the default_config.cfg file?

Note - it should not be default_config.cfg but default_config.xml
