No UserProfileApplicationProxy exists in the current context

Today one of our business owners has reported their workflows are failing. It’s quite strange as I am taking care of the infrastructure and no changes has made recently i.e. no language packs, no patch upgrade, no third party software installation so I wasn’t sure what exactly happened and their workflows have started failing.

Before checking anything, I have restarted the SharePoint Timer Service to make sure everything is working properly as workflows jobs are dependent on it but that didn’t result into any success. So finally I started looking into ULS logs by hoping will get something very concrete which will guide me in right direction towards resolution and I was damn right!

Here are the findings:

From these findings, I know where to check and what should be change! And I would like to share the same details with all of you because after making that change, your issue will be resolved.

Note: before I mentioned the exact details, make sure that you have the “user profile web service application” exist in your environment.

Resolution:
1.   Open the Central Administration
2.   Application management
3.   Service Applications
4.   Configure Service Application Associations
5.   Check the web application in which your site exist
6.   Check the “Application Proxy Group” column
7.   Click on the custom group / default group
8.   Tick the User profile service application check box
9.   Click OK

That’s it – You are done!
