we have already workflow manager 1.0 installed and processed workflows successfully.

We deleted the site where the workflows are subscribed and the associated workflow scopes status become unregistered. We tried republishing the workflows but still unable to process the workflows.

So we are planning to reinstall the workflow manager.

So so we need to uninstall every component in workflow manager and reinstall them from the beginning or can we specifically uninstall few components and reinstall them ?

    How many scopes are affected? If it is only a one or a few I would engage MS Support to get the script to reset those scopes back to active

  • The solution I have needs approval to run, so please open a case. You could try the following: Backup-spsite , delete the site and restore it from the backup (Should generate a new site ID, which should be a new scope -I THINK- not tested since I have the other script-

I do not think you have to re-install any of your WFM components.

It sounds like you have deleted the site that was used in the SPSite parameter when registering a workflow scope with Register-SPWorkflowService cmdlet.

In that case you have a couple of options to get it re-registered:

  • Delete the old scope and re-run the Register-SPWorkflowService cmdlet - Remove Workflow Manager scopes?
  • Re-run Register-SPWorkflowService cmdlet but with the -Force parameter
  • Re-run Register-SPWorkflowService cmdlet but with a new scope name

Than re-publish your workflow definitions and check that the workflow subscriptions are still there.

There is a similar issue - I think - described here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/spses/2016/08/09/sharepoint-2013-spd-2013-workflows-are-getting-associated-with-the-list-but-they-arent-starting/
