Delay Activity issue in Sharepoint

  • Article

There is an issue on the delay activity of Windows Workflow Foundation and SharePoint 2007. It happen when a workflow is redeployed on the platform.

The workaround for this issue is to:

  1. Install the last SharePoint Update (the fix is included since the infrastructure update https://support.microsoft.com/kb/953630/
  2. If you can not install update and still want your platform works, a workaround is to restart IIS and the SharePoint Timer with the following command:

net stop IISAdmin /Y

:: Now stop SharePoint's Timer Service

net stop SPTimerV3 /Y

:: Now restart things in reverse sequence from how we turned them off

net start SPTimerV3

net start W3SVC
