Get running instances of SharePoint 2010 workflow in SharePoint online

Question

Hi Guys,

Is there a way I can list out the SharePoint 2010 workflows which have running instances in the list and libraries in SharePoint online.

Answer 1

You could try below script.

#Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies  
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"  
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"  
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.WorkflowServices.dll"  
  
#Function to Get workflows in a site  
Function Get-SPOWorkflowInventory($SiteURL, $CSVPath)  
{  
    Try{  
        $WorkflowInventory = @()  
        #Setup the context  
        $Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)  
        $Ctx.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.Username, $Cred.Password)  
       
        #Get the Web and its Subsites  
        $Web = $Ctx.Web  
        $Ctx.Load($Web)  
        $Ctx.Load($Web.Webs)  
        $Lists = $Web.Lists  
        $Ctx.Load($Lists)  
        $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()      
   
        Write-host -f Yellow "Searching Workflows in Site: $SiteURL"  
        #Loop through each list and get all workflows sharepoint online powershell  
        ForEach($List in $Lists)  
        {  
            #Get SharePoint 2010 Workflows Associated  
            $WorkflowAssociations = $List.WorkflowAssociations  
            $Ctx.Load($WorkflowAssociations)  
            $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()  
            ForEach($Association in $WorkflowAssociations | Where {$_.Name -notlike "*Previous Version*"})  
            {  
                $WorkflowData = New-Object PSObject  
                $WorkflowData | Add-Member NoteProperty WorkflowName($Association.Name)  
                $WorkflowData | Add-Member NoteProperty SiteURL($Web.Url)  
                $WorkflowData | Add-Member NoteProperty ListName($List.Title)  
                Write-host -f Green "`t Found Workflow '$($Association.Name)' in list '$($List.Title)'"  
                $WorkflowInventory+=$WorkflowData  
            }  
        }  
        #Export Workflow data to CSV File  
        If($WorkflowInventory) { $WorkflowInventory | Export-CSV -LiteralPath $CSVPath -NoTypeInformation -Append}  
   
        #Process Subsites  
        Foreach($Subweb in $Web.Webs)  
        {  
            Get-SPOWorkflowInventory -SiteURL $Subweb.url  
        }  
    }  
    Catch {  
    Write-host -f Red "Error:" $_.Exception.Message  
    }  
}  
   
#Set Parameters  
$SiteURL="site collection URL "  
$CSVPath = "your local drive"  
   
#Remove the CSV file if exists  
If(Test-Path $CSVPath) { Remove-Item $CSVPath}  
   
#Get Credentials to connect  
$Cred= Get-Credential  
   
#Call the function to get workflow inventory  
Get-SPOWorkflowInventory $SiteURL $CSVPath

Answer 2

It appears that this script identifies all the workflows in a list, but it does not identify the specific running instances.

Is there a way to identify the specific running instances?
