SharePoint 2013 - Workflow Service Application is missed in Manage service application

Question

Hi All,

I have installed Workflow service application in our SharePoint 2013 environment (CA,WFE1,2,3 and 4). As per the Microsoft blog I have followed all the instruction and "Workflow service application proxy "has been created but somehow "Workflow service application" is missed. The same instructions I have followed in Dev/QA and its successfully configured. Again we reinstalled the WSA and installed in production but the results are same. 

Even WSA not created, we are able to create designer workflows under SharePoint 2013 workflow platform and when we published the workflow its displaying error as below.

Can you please help me on this? 

Your support always much appreciated.

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEndpointAddressNotFoundException: There are no addresses available for this application.
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoundRobinServiceLoadBalancer.BeginOperation()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPServiceApplicationProxyBase`1.ExecuteOnChannel(Boolean requireDelegation, Action`1 codeBlock)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.AppManagement.AppManagementServiceApplicationProxy.GetScaleOutDatabaseMap()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPScaleOutDatabaseMap.GetMapCacheEntries

Answer 1

Hi,

As you have multiple WFEs, if you install Workflow Manager in a dedicated server, you also need to install the Workflow Manager Client on all WFE servers. If you install it in one WFE server, you need to install the Workflow Manager Client on other WFE servers.

More information:

And for fixing this issue, you can try to do:

1.If you use HTTP: Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite “http://mysitecollection” –WorkflowHostUri “http://server.domain.com:12291″ –AllowOAuthHttp -force
2.If you use HTTPS: Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite “https://myserver/mysitecollection” -WorkflowHostUri “https://server.domain.com:12290″
3.Check that the SharePoint Service “App management Service” is started
4.IISRESET after starting the “App management Service”

Thanks,

Wendy

Answer 2

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for the prompt response!

1. We have installed work flow client in all WFEs. As we are using http sites in our environment, we have executed the Register command for http.

2.  “App management Service” is started and running in all WFE's.

But the results are same (Workflow Service Application is missed in Manage service application)..

Please let us know if we missed anything on this issue.

Thanks for your support once again,

Hi,

Please try to reboot SharePoint servers in your farm and run IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS command.

Then re-register workflow service using PowerShell cmdlet.

Thanks,

Wendy
