Answered Information Management Policy not triggering SPD workflow

    Hi All,

    I have a document library with no special fields (i.e. Lookups) and I have created a workflow via SPD to create a task to review the document and send to a Records Center, if necessary. The WF is working properly.

    I then set an Information Management Policy on the library through the SharePoint UI following these steps:

    1. Define a policy...
    2. Policy Statement: This document expires in 1 day (testing)
    3. Checked "Enable Expiration ":
           The retention period is: Modified + 1 + days
           When the item expires:
           Start this workflow: IMP WF Test 2


    But the IMP never triggers the workflow.

    • I have checked the "Information Management Policy Configuration" via Central Administration, and "Expiration" is available and set to run daily.
    • I have tried the "Process Expired Items Now" manual option via the CA "Configure Expiration" page.
    • I have tried this with "Require Check Out" enabled and disabled with no success in either case.
    • I have tried this with Publishing features enabled and disabled with no success.
    • I have combed this forum thoroughly looking for similar situations and possible resolutions with no success.

    Can anyone offer any other suggestions?

    Thank you in advance for any help.

    CG

    Got it!  Check your timer job service and make sure that your WSS Timer Jobs is running. Something killed mine.

    Hi,

       Is there any specific timer job to watch out ?

    I am facing the same problem.


    We have a SP 2010 environment.
