<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Sandy,</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I feel your pain. We did the 4.6C
to ECC6 upgrade back in 2009 and the majority of problems we encountered
post-go-live were with workflow (these were mostly heavily customized workflows
- not SAP provided). </font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Unfortunately, I never experienced the
problem you describe. Our containers copied properly, it is just
that the workflows didn't, well..., work. A friendly piece of advice
(if you haven't considered this already) would be that you test new instances
of your workflows AND existing instances (workflows that are in progress
at the time of cutover). We had a lot of problems with the agent
determination for existing instances, but the new instances worked OK (or
at least failed for other reasons ;-).</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">But to your problem, if you have already
discussed this with your basis team and have determined that there is no
problem with the cut-over procedure, one thing you may want to look into
is contained in Knowledge Base article 1552169 that describes SAP using
a different table to hold container objects as of basis release 640 - which
I think you skipped in going from 4.6C to ECC6. The old container
tables are SWW_CONT and SWW_CONTOB and the new container table is SWWCNTP0.
Maybe (and I am way outside my level of expertise on this one...)
the workflow programs are attempting to read from one table but the data
is in another - but that is pure speculation, take it for what it is worth,
which ain't much.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hopefully some of the real under-the-hood
experts in this user group will have some better advice.<br></font><font size=4 color=#808000><b> </b></font><p><font size=4 color=#808000><b>Michael McLey</b></font><font size=3 color=#808000><b></b><br>MBUSI - IT Parts & Administration </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>Mercedes-Benz US International, Inc.</font><font size=3 color=#808000></font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>1 Mercedes Drive</font><font size=3 color=#808000> </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>Vance, AL 35490</font><font size=3 color=#808000> </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>PHONE: (205) 462 - 5239</font><font size=3 color=#808000> </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>EMAIL: michael.mcley@daimler.com</font><font size=3 color=#808000>

Client Copy from 4.6C PRD to new ECC 6 system, some of the work items,

Work items belong to a particular task for which, agent assignment was
NOT ACTIVE in 4.6C PRD and client copy was done without rectifying this
error. </font><br><font size=3 face="Arial Narrow"> </font><br><font size=3 face="Arial Narrow">As a result, we got few work items
in new ECC6 Build system with Blank container. Moreover, these Work items
are appearing in all user inbox. We cannot view the container and also
cannot FORWARD, EXECUTE these work items. We are getting error message:
