IDOC is not processed in WF

[Michael Pokraka]

This may be off target but nevertheless:
Check that your first step doesn't perhaps do anything that will make the
IDOC inaccessible for the duration of the current execution. It may be
possible that a lock entry is created but not released whilst the workflow
is executing (i.e. remains into the next step if it's being executed
straight afterwards).
e.g. (2 tests to verify this):
 
 - insert a simple user decision (to 'pause' the W/F).
 - At user dec., cancel (so that it remains in your inbox).
 - Test your object by creating an instance of the IDOC in question, call
INPUTBACKGROUND.
This lot should work. Next test:
 
 - same as above, with user decision
 - after cancelling the decision, go back to inbox and execute it.
If it doesn't execute, so much for that plan.
If it does execute, then the first step possibly creates a lock on it.
 
Another possibility would be to check trans. SM12 for lock entries on the
IDOC, but timing might be a bit tricky.

Subject: IDOC is not processed in WF
 
 
Hi workflowers,
 
my 4.6B workflow ist triggered by IDOCORDERS / INPUTERROROCCURED.
After the first step (correcting data in background) i use method
INPUTBACKGROUND.
This returnes without errormessage but the IDOC is not processed and
IDOC-Status is 51: "Idoc ** could not be opened".
When i start the method in the workflow with a delay of 10 min, I still have
the problem.
 
When i test the method in SWUD it works.
In EDI I have no problem processing the IDOC.
 
My idea is that somehow the IDOC is blocked.
 
Thank you in advance for any input you can provide.
