<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Guru's,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have a Purchase order workflow and
recently I added a task which is a background task. I have a method where I pass
the PO number and get the release code from the method to the task. I have
defined this standard task as Synchronous and Background. For some reason, when
the workflow gets triggered, it comes to this step and sits for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, it goes to the next step. I checked all the jobs and scheduled
one of the jobs(SWWERRE) to run every 3 minutes to see if that’s the problem,
but didn’t work. Any suggestions please? I have this job SWWCOND which is
scheduled to run every 30 minutes. Not sure if this has anything but the
Purchase req works fine.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a workflow for Purchase requisition and I have
a similar task(Background) and that works just fine.</FONT> </P>
