Betreff: Rif: Re: how restarting a blocked workflow?

The trouble is that initial conditions of the process have not been =
respected by
the users.... but this is another problem...

Now i'm in this unpleasant situation:  some workflows are blocked, (not =
in
error... just blocked) and i can't restart them.

10'000 nodes... Is this 30 years worth of daily notifications?   I =
think
there must be a serious design issue there too...

For the immediate fix -- try SWPR.

Cheers,
Tomasz

Subject: how restarting a blocked workflow?

Hello workflow's users...

My problem is quite strange...

I have a workflow that manages an approval process with periodical =
prompts
to
user if he/she doesn't complete his/her  work.

Unfortunately some users are very lazy and so workflows work  for many
months
with many mails to advise to users for their jobs.... so, some =
workflows
blocked
itself because they arrived to their max number of nodes (10000 =
default)...
they
are in STARTED status, but they are stopped...

Ok, i increased that value to 50000... but  i can't restart blocked
workflows...

I tried to change status from STARTED to ERROR (by function
sww_wi_status_change_new) and then i tried to restart workflows by =
SWI1...
but
nothing happened...

We are on 4.5B release.

I hope someone can help me.

Kind regards.
