Sue,<BR>
<BR>
We're still on 4.6c still but something similar-looking happened here a while back.<BR>
<BR>
I can't remember exactly what it was eventually put down to, but there were three things that came out of it:<BR>
<BR>
1. The password for user WF-BATCH was kept under lock and key and was renewed regularly in a timely manner whenever the Workflow services were turned off. Once the password expired in the middle of the online day, ouch.<BR>
<BR>
2. SWU3 was restricted to superusers only (because somebody had fluffed a password reset without thinking)<BR>
<BR>
3. No-one was allowed to submit Batch jobs as or attempt to log on as WF-BATCH without approval. Somebody made the user account a dialog one for debugging a rather nasty problem for a while and forgot to set it back. (No, it wasn't me).<BR><BR>
In SM37 the job may appear to be running but a dump probably stopped it in its tracks. The screen can lie to you because its gauging runtime as elapsed time, not actually processing time. ST22 or SM21 might give you a clue as to when the program actually died.<BR>
<BR>
We've had lock overflows kill a few programs before in a nasty manner, I assume that wasn't a problem for you though? The new ECC 6 Workflow service programs enqueue themselves to prevent multiple instances from running...but if this enqueue fails the job should error not dump.<BR>
<BR>
As a quick guide in ECC 6 I'm going to start to rely on the new table SWWREPSTATUS to check when the system last registered a Workflow Service job finishing successfully, rather than trawl through SM37.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
