>I am currently on release 45B where we have just completed application of
>hotpacks up to and including SAPKH45B39. Since this was done, all of my
>workflow customizing transports have been ending in error status with
>return code 8. The error seems to be found in the function module
>RH_ACTIVATE_PDOBJECT_AFTER_IMP.
>The result is that the workflow definition shows the runtime version with
>status active, but this status does not appear to be visible to the system,
>so in the case of event triggered workflows, running event simulation
>during diagnostics,  shows that the workflow definition is deactivated.
>Consequently after each transport we need to manually activate each WF
>definition.
>I have searched OSS for all transport notes associated with PD objects as
>well as the function module referenced,  but I have had no success since
>the notes specified all seem to have been applied in our system. I have
>even tried running RHWFACTI after the transport as suggested in one of the
>notes but that has not worked.Does anyone have any ideas on what might be
>the problem? Please advise. This problem is not occuring when we transport
>WS templates. Note also,  that in two cases we had the same version number
>generated twice. The first time it occured, we thought it was due to a
>procedural error on the part of the transport team. But now that it has
>recurred, we are concerned that it can impact our production release this
>weekend which is not an upgrade but a major functional release.
