<DIV>Hi Sue,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would indeed assume its RFC issue, but since you've checked that I would also look at ST22 and SM13 to see if there's something there.</DIV>
<DIV>In order to monitor such occasion, you can try reports SWPC and SWF_ADM_SUSPEND.</DIV>
<DIV>I can't tell for sure if it'll work but its worth trying :)</DIV>
<DIV>In addition, if your workflow eventually ends with error, try to see in SWPR its upper limit. It might have an endless loop that eventually exceed the max number of steps (defined in workflow general settings).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck,<BR> </DIV>

In the log it has that the Background processing started with Object type 1 = tRFC Entries. I had to go into the step and complete it manually for the workflow to move on.<BR><BR>It has happened a couple of
times in the last few days (that I know of)....on different background tasks. It is happening in workflows that have had no changes to them.<BR><BR>I've gone to Basis to see if there were any issues with the RFCs at the time that the tasks got hung up and nothing is showing up there. They have looked at the system logs and see nothing. When this has happened before, it has been something that has happened with the RFCs or the gateway has backed up or the system has gone down.<BR><BR>What can I look at to see what might be happening to the system that is making these background tasks hang up? Also, is there a way that I can find all workflows that might be in the same state as the two that I have found?<BR><BR>Any help would be appreciated.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Sue T.

I was able to release it though, so I'm a little confused.
