WF task not a potential task to be started

[Robin Sahasranam]

Hi Jocelyn,
 
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I hope you don't mind my direct response
to you, rather than via the list server.
 
Event Simulation does not show any exception codes on the right. (See attached
file: EventSim.gif)
 
We do have other workflows productive on a 4.0b client. All the workflows are
custom built and are of the type WF and TS. The new workflow I am building is of
the type WS and T, my first attempt at these types. Since WF and TS are no
longer supported in 4.6, we are now gradually moving our workflows to types WF
and TS. We have had no problems with the WF and TS workflows, in transporting or
activating them. I have tried every diagnostic step that I am aware of and can't
find the reason Event Simulation won't work.
 
I am grateful for any help you can provide.

Hi Robin,
Event Simulation gives you a one-character code to the right of each
unsuccessful workflow explaining why it could not be started.
At the bottom of the report is a list of what these codes mean.
So have a look and see what the simulation is saying is the problem?
 
I assume you already have other workflows in this system/client and
you have checked the workflow runtime environment is operational
through transaction SWU3?

I am almost ready to implement a new Workflow task (WS).  However, the Event
Simulation for the task in the Production client shows as "Other receivers -
Tasks  which do not use this event". In the Development and Integrated Test
clients the Event Simulation for the task shows as "Potential tasks to be
started - Successfully started".
 
The task has been tested succesfully in Development and Integrated Test
client.
All the transports to the Production client have been successfully imported.
I
have run all the diagnostic steps, consistency checks on objects and tasks,
generated the business objects, verified  the event linkage is enabled and
the
task is activated and refreshed the org. environment.  No problems were
reported
in any diagnostic step. However the event simulation still shows the
workflow as
"Other receivers - Tasks  which do not use this event". I did not have to do
anything special in the Integrated Test client, for the workflow to be
started.
 
Will the workflow be successfully started when the triggering event is fired
when the application goes live? Do I have to do anything else to show that
the
workflow will be Successfully started in the Event Simulation.?
 
Thank you for your assistance.
