*Workflow Manager Backend
*Windows Fabric Host Service
*Service Bus Gateway
3. Open “Sharepoint 2013 Management Shell” and run following command:
Enable-SPFeature -Identity WorkflowServiceStore –Url $yourUrlSharepoint 2013 Workflow Service Is Not Configured On The Server Settings
replace $yourUrl with your site collection URL.
In my case, I was getting message the feature was already activated at that site.
4. Open IIS, Verify “Workflow Management Site” is working fine.
For testing, You can open following in your browser.
http://servername:12291
5. In “Sharepoint 2013 Management Shell”, run following
Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite ’http://myserver/mysitecollection’ –WorkflowHostUri ’http://workflow.example.com:12291’ –AllowOAuthHttp
In my case:
Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite ’http://techbrijmachine/sites/dev’ –WorkflowHostUri ’http://techbrijmachine:12291/’ –AllowOAuthHttp
Change port number if you want use HTTP(12291) or HTTPS(12290) to communicate between Workflow Manager and SharePoint Server 2013.
refer following for more details:
6. Open Sharepoint Designer 2013 and enjoy Sharepoint 2013 Workflow.
Hope, It saves your time.
Microsoft introduced the new workflow engine in SharePoint 2013 – Workflow Manager. This service is based on Windows Workflow Foundation and brings new features to the SharePoint platform, such as scalability, new activities, REST, and instance management.
This new engine is not available in the OOTB installation. A clean SharePoint installation offers only SharePoint 2010 Workflow.
What we can do to use SharePoint 2013 Workflow?SharePoint 2013 offers many improvements over previous versions of the platform. Some of those are very apparent, and some are not so much. In fact, there are a handful of new features that almost seem to be hidden by the OOTB (out-of-the-box) installation.To use a windows server as workflow manager you need to install/configure Workflow Manager in the windows server. Workflow manager is a new kind of application server that host/manage workflow execution. SharePoint 2013 workflow is based on .net framework 4.0. Workflow Manager is designed with Window Azure hosting in mind, but now it supports on-premise installation. If organizations now want to host the workflow on-premise they can still use Workflow Manager but in future if they want to move to Windows Azure hosting for their workflow, the migration will be smoother with this Workflow Manager.
One of these not so apparent features is the new Workflow engine, exclusively designed for use with SharePoint 2013. Some of you may be asking: where is it, how do I enable it, is it installed by default, etc…?
Before start installing/developing SharePoint Manager you need to know few points:
*You should NOT use SharePoint ‘system account’ to test workflow. If you use ‘system account’ to develop/run workflow, the workflow will fail to run, can’t use farm account.
*You need to make sure User Profile Service (UPS) is running and the user who is running workflow has profile in UPS. Workflow Manager use UPS under the hood.
*Make sure App Management Service is created and running. You don’t need to configure SharePoint 2013 App settings in the server, just creating App Management service (with proxy) will do.
*SharePoint 2013 workflow is declarative – means you can only define workflow in XML. You can’t write any C# code inside workflow as you used to do before. All your custom logic should be put outside of SharePoint, inside WCF Service. Then you will call the service from workflow to implement your custom logic in code.
*To register workflow Server with SharePoint, a SharePoint site collection URL is provided (see the section Register Workflow Service with SharePoint later in the post). Apparently it seems, each and every site collection need to be registered with workflow server. But it’s not, registering a single SharePoint site collection, will enable workflow manager for all SharePoint web applications/site collections.
The scope of this guide is simply to provide you with the steps needed to take full advantage of this new workflow engine and the improved features that come with it. For an overview of the new engine and what capabilities it offers, please refer to this SharePoint 2013 Workflow Fundamentals page provided by Microsoft. Also here is a reference for How to Install Workflow Manager Certificates in SharePoint Server 2013.User and Service Accounts
Much misinformation and guidance exists around the user and service accounts, and groups required for Workflow Manager. Commonly two accounts are detailed, the Configuration user and the RunAs User.
The Configuration User (also known as the Setup User) is simply the account used to install and configure the Workflow Manager farm. There is absolutely no requirement whatsoever to create a dedicated user account for this. Obviously one can do so if needed, think of this like the SharePoint “setup” user, which is often promoted as a “best practice” but is nothing of the sort. Regardless of if you are using a dedicated account here, or making use of an existing account, for a three server farm it must be a domain account, which is a local machine administrator of the three servers on which you will install and configure Workflow Manager. This account must also be a Security Administrator and Database Creator on the SQL Server instance you will be using to host the Workflow Manager related databases.
The RunAs User is the service account identity of the Workflow Manager services. For a three server farm again this must be a domain account. The necessary permissions for this account are applied when the Workflow Manager farm is created. Other than creating the service account and specifying it during the farm creation, nothing else is needed. If your organisation implements password policy for service accounts, there is a specific procedure using Windows PowerShell to update credentials within the farm.
The Admin Group is a group containing the principals whom will administer the Workflow Manager farm (for example by running Windows PowerShell cmdlets). By default this will be the built in Administrators group on each server in the farm. That works just great as long as you administer the farm using an administrator account! If you wish to have more control across a three server farm, this should be (not must be) a Domain Group and obviously contain the user accounts needed. Under no circumstances whatsoever is it necessary to add SharePoint Service Accounts into this group. That is just bogus guidance.
Now that you have a thorough understanding of the SharePoint 2013 Workflow, let’s begin the installation and configuration.
In order to install Workflow Manager, you will need to download it as part of the Web Platform Installer 4.0, which is packaged with Workflow Manager 1.0. You can download this directly from Microsoft here.Sharepoint 2013 Create A Workflow
Workflow infrastructure in SharePoint 2013 is not set up as part of the installation process of the platform. You can install WAS in an independent server or in a web frontend server after you have installed SharePoint 2013. There are two options to install Workflow infrastructure for SharePoint 2013:
*Use the Web Platform Installer available at: http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx
*Download and install the workflow individual components from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35375
Installing Workflow Manager 1.0
To simplify the workflow infrastructure setup, we are going to use the Web Platform Installer option explained above:
*Download the installer from the web and execute it.
*In the “Spotlight” tab of the Web Platform Installer, type in workflow by using the search box.
*In the search results, click the “Add” button for the Workflow Manager 1.0 row. Then, click the “Install” button.
*Then accept the Terms and decline the updates as we will be performing the updates ourselves.
Note: Run the setup under the account which can create SQL Database as several databases will be required to be createdInstall Workflow Manager 1.0 using Web Platform Installer 4.0 (3-5 mins long to install)
*Browse to the download location and run the workflowmanager.exe.
*Click Install from the Workflow Manager 1.0 screen.
*Click I Accept from the Prerequisites screen.
* This will begin the installation process of Workflow Manager 1.0. When this has completed, we can then begin the configuration.
*Now that the installation has completed, it’s time to configure. Click Continue on the Configure screen, as seen below.
*After clicking Continue, you will see the Workflow Manager Configuration Wizard after a few seconds. In this example, we will choose Configure Workflow Manager with Default Settings (Recommended).
*On the New Farm Configuration screen, enter the appropriate SQL server and the credentials. As you can see, in this example, I am using SQL Authentication, rather than Windows Authentication. Either option is fine. Test Connection.
*In the Configure Service Account section, enter the appropriate service account you would like to use to run the Workflow Manager. In this example, I created a service account explicitly for the Workflow Manager * If your SharePoint farm is not using an SSL certification, please check the checkbox next to Allow Workflow Management over HTTP on this Computer.
*In the Certificate Generation Key section, enter a unique key. In this particular example, I used the Farm Passphrase that was created when joining these servers to the SharePoint Farm. Enter a key and press the right arrow to continue.
*When the Summary page is displayed, verify all information is correct. Click the checkmark to complete the configuration information.
*This will begin the configuration process. When this has completed, you should see similar to the below.
*Click the check mark to complete the configuration.
In this example, we are using a single server SharePoint Farm. The Workflow Manager client must be installed on EVERY SharePoint server in your farm. You can install Workflow manager on WFE server but you still need to install workflow client and go through procedure of configuring.
Yes, the Workflow Manager Client should be installed on every server in the SharePoint Server 2013 farm regardless if it’s a WFE and/or Application server, SP Search server, SP Index server etc…. This is to accomodate the fact that it is common to move SharePoint servers between roles and if a server that does not have the Workflow Manager Client installed takes on the role of a Web Front End (WFE) then workflow will break.
You will need to install Workflow manager client on all WFEs regardless of as if Workflow manager is installed and configured on App and/or WFE server.

Open inetmgr and then you will see Workflow Management Site >> Bindings. You can then get the port number for https (12290) and http (12291). Note: if you don’t see Workflow Management Site then reboot Workflow Manager Server.Configure Workflow Manager with SharePoint 2013
Now that the Workflow Manager is installed on the system, we must now configure it so that it works with the SharePoint 2013 Farm. For each SharePoint server:
*Browse to the Start menu and open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell .
*Run the following command, using the appropriate information:
Note: To get the WorkflowUri, in case you forgot or don’t know it. Run the following command, from the Workflow Manager server, to get the port number and workflow host URI. Get-WFFarmRegister-SPWorkflowService –SPSite https://sharepointsiteurl.com/ -WorkflowHostUri http://servername.domain.local:12290 -allowOAuthHttpsVerify Installation of Workflow Manager:
The easiest way to verify that the installation was successful is to use SharePoint Designer 2013 to attempt creating a workflow.
*Using SharePoint Designer 2013, open the site used in the steps above.
*Select Workflows from the Site Objects menu.
*Select List Workflow from the ribbon bar and then select any item in the drop-down list.
*This will open the Create List Workflows dialog box. Under the Platform Type menu, you should now see at least SharePoint 2010 Workflow and SharePoint 2013 Workflow as seen below.
BEFORE SharePoint 2013 Workflow Manager Installation:
*Note the informational message at the bottom of the above dialog box.
