i have already done following stuff

1. Check https://[wfms]:12290 or http://[wfms]:12291 if they are responding 2. Check ”WorkflowMgmtPool” is started 3. Following services are running

  • Workflow Manager Backend
  • Service Bus Message Broker
  • Service Bus Gateway
  • Windows Fabric Host Service (FabricHostSvc)

4. Get workflow farm information , workflow database  by  Start Workflow Manager PowerShell     get-WFfarm   5. Check if the Workflow Manager farm running(workflow service backend and  front end         should be rennin)  by  Start Workflow Manager PowerShell    get-WFfarmStatus

6. Check oAut in accessible by http:// [wfms]:12291/$SYSTEM/$Metadata/json/1

7. Restart the WorkflowServiceBackend service

  • net stop WorkflowServiceBackend
  • net start WorkflowServiceBackend

I also reinstall Workflow Manger 1.0 and reconfigured the farm.Same error.

I am trying this on a server which already has sharepoint 2013  and VS 2015 pro installation

Hi,
  1. Each server in the SharePoint Server 2013 farm must have the Workflow Manager Client installed.
  2. Make sure workflow initiator is not a system account
  3. workflow initiator must have a user profile

 I still dont know what was causing this issue, but i resolved this issue by

1. creating new VM and installing only Workflow manager 1.0 on it

2. Re registered it with sharepoint2013

3. It started working perfectly
