Download Download the Workflow : Click here to download Note: This workflow was built in Nintex Workflow 2.3.3.0. If you are running an earlier build, it may not import. Introduction After using the Nintex Workflow Query LDAP action to retrieve some information, I ended up getting it in a distinguished name format: CN=wombat,OU=Users,OU=US,OU=Support,DC=alphas,DC=vadimtabakman,DC=com I needed […]
WARNING DO NOT run this on a production system unless absolutely necessary. It iterates through all sites, lists, items and workflows. I have not tested this for performance and system impact. There have been some requests on how to cancel all running workflows. I’ve looked online and have found a number of C# and PowerShell […]
Start of the Story Querying a database is something I do quite regularly. Whether it’s for work at Nintex or other projects. Sometimes this is just from using SQL Management Studio, othertimes, it is for something more complex and requires some code to be written that makes SQL queries and does something on the data. […]
For a mini-project I’m working on, I had a need to convert a number to it’s binary format. From those that don’t know what that means, it’s converting a numerical value into it’s 1’s and 0’s version. eg. 1 = 1 2 = 10 3 = 11 100 = 1100100 Feel free to read more […]
Had a moment of insanity and completely forget that Nintex Workflow had a fn-Power inline function. That, together with choosing not to write some code to make an inline function or a custom action, I decided to make a UDA that would perform a Math Power calculation. Dumb?…oh yes. But hey, I went to the […]

This scenario has come across my table a few times. I want to know all the workflows that are currently in progress in my Site Collection. I may need to terminate them. Or I may need to terminate and restart them. If you have Nintex Workflow with an Enterprise License, there is a report called […]
The out of the box variable types in Nintex Workflow are great, and they are perfect in almost all situations. But there are times I’ve had a need for something more. This is an example of a situatoin where I felt I needed something like a Dictionary or Hashtable. I was planning on querying SharePoint […]
When using the Assign a Flexi Task action, one of the “behavior” options is “All must agree on a specific outcome”. A good scenario here, is if you have a Project Proposal, and everyone who is assigned the task must approve the proposal. If someone doesn’t, the it’s a no-go. In the above example, I […]
I had a proof of concept recently that required me to look into starting workflows from SQL Server. It’s an interesting idea which I’d never played around with before. I’ve done development inside SQL, and have created plenty of Stored Procedures, but I’ve never had to deal with communicating outside of SQL itself. The following […]
