SharePoint Workflows Inventory Report using PowerShell
In continuation with my another post: Workflows Inventory Report for SharePoint , which was done using C# object model code, This is a PowerShell version to find all workflows deployed in the SharePoint environment to generate the workflows Inventory report.
Basically, this script iterates through all site collections-sites-List objects to fetch workflow data such as: Workflow Name, Running instances, etc.
While the above workflow gives workflow data on all workflows, its possible to find only SharePoint designer made workflows by checking the below condition:

This script did not work for me. I get the following error when I run the PS script:

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI included the above code to get the sharepoint designer workflows but no data in output file.
Here is the script :
foreach ($WorkflowAssociation in $List.WorkflowAssociations)
{
#Leave the "Previous Versions"
if($WorkflowAssociation.Name.Contains("Previous Version") -eq $false)
{
if( ($WorkflowAssociation -eq $null) -and ($WorkflowAssociation.InternalName.Contains("Xoml")))
{
$data = @{
"Site" = $Site.Rootweb.Title
"Web" = $Web.Title
"Web URL" = $Web.Url
"List Name" = $List.Title
"List URL" = $Web.Url+"/"+$List.RootFolder.Url
"Workflow Name" = $WorkflowAssociation.Name
"Running Instances" = $WorkflowAssociation.RunningInstances
}
#Create a object
New-Object PSObject -Property $data
Could you please help me on this.
Thanks.
