Hi folks,

We have a problem with state service during worklow or any infopath rendering time.

We have build the sharepoint farm with DB created datbases due to collation issue. It went well to bring the farm up and configured MMS and BCS service application.

I have created State Service application using a temporary sql 2008 express server using below powershell commands

Add-pssnapin Microsoft.sharepoint.powershell -EA 0$sa = New-SPstateserviceapplication -name "State Service App SIT"new-spstateservicedatabase -name "sps_StateServiceApp_SIT" -databaseserver "server\SP2010sqlexpress" -serviceapplication $sanew-spstateserviceapplicationproxy -name "State Service App SIT Proxy" -serviceapplication $sa -defaultproxygroup

It worked well for all workflows and infopath forms to render in browser.

Now we moved the state service database from temp server to actual server and ran dismount and mount commands

 as described in this article  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff851878(v=office.14).aspx#State

Also, Initalized state service. now. when we run a new workflow (ex: approval or publishing) or infopath forms then getting above error.

Can anyone have a workaround for smilar issue?

sharepoint collation   Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS

Also solved my problem.

when we run the Mount command as below and then Initialize command then went well.

Mount-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name StateService_DB
-DatabaseServer servername -ServiceApplication "state service" 

Initialize-SPStateServiceDatabase

Earlier we missed to give service application name and it's failing to bind the respectice service application though mount-spstateservicedatabase command belongs to state service application

What is the collation of the State Service database now?
