Get all workflows associated with all lists in Site

Here I have written a PowerShell script to find details of all workflows associated with all lists in Site Collection.

//Script Starts

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell
$url = “http://contoso.com”

$spSite = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
foreach($web in $spSite.AllWebs)
{
foreach($list in $web.Lists)
{
foreach($wf in $list.WorkflowAssociations)
{
Write-Host “$($list.Title)” -foreground White
 Write-Host “$($wf.Name)” -foreground Green
}
}

}
$spSite.Dispose()

//Script ends

This script provides details on workflow associated with list, once we get the information about workflow, we can execute other commands as required.

Known issue with Globally Reusable Workflow SharePoint 2010

Hello, here I would like to share details about issues I faced with SharePoint Designer 2010 when tried to edit and Save globally reusable workflow.

what I did is, I had taken a copy of Approval – SharePoint 2010 workflow.

Did some changes, and published it globally.

Step to Copy and Edit Existing Globally Reusable Workflow:

Step 1: Open SharePoint Designer 2010 -> Open the site -> Click on Workflows left navigation panel.

Right Click on Approval -SharePoint 2010 from the list of available workflows.

Step 2: Fill in name and description. this will open following screen. Click on first highlighted part(Approval workflow Task).

Step 3: Click on Change behavior of overall task process and make changes as per your need, click Save and Publish.

Now after Publishing, when I tried to edit again and Clicked on Save, it detached workflow instance from List/Library wherever it was used after first Published.

seems this is a known issue with SharePoint Designer  2010 with no solution around.

here are few references.
