Nintex workflow failed to publish

When publishing one of our workflows I encountered the error “Soap:ServerServer was unable to process request –>Failed to publish workflow. Error in application. I ran many tests and was unable to find a definite cause. Finally found this in one of the blog 🙂

Resolution:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") 
$new_limit = 50000;
$webapp = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebApplication]::Lookup("webApplicationURL") 
$webapp.UserDefinedWorkflowMaximumComplexity = $new_limit 
$webapp.Update()
